Chapter 194 The Villa in Binji Road
"Do you want me to film with Chenglong?"
The warm spring is the most sleepy. Lin Qingxia, who is sitting on her open-air balcony basking in the sun, was slowly siping the coffee in her hand while looking at Li Xuan, who was standing by the balcony guardrail, and asked in confusion.
Li Xuan did not look back and replied lazily: "Yes, but this time I am working with Jiahe."
Lin Qingxia's focus of work has obviously shifted to Hong Kong. She not only signed a contract with a Hong Kong film company, but also bought a three-story townhouse on Binji Road, halfway through her savings. It is estimated that the former owner was probably still a fan of Lin Qingxia, so she sold the house to Lin Qingxia at an extremely low price.
This townhouse is not only located on the tree-lined Binji Road in Taiping Mountain, but also belongs to a single-family house, and even comes with a small garden and a rooftop rooftop. Li Xuan stood on the balcony and looked out, and could vaguely see the shadow of a boat cruising on Victoria Bay in the distance.
"You can really make trouble!"
Lin Qingxia rashly commented on Li Xuan, and after that, she laughed at herself. She said that Li Xuan could do anything, but she was not the same. She had just finished filming the Shaw Brothers version of "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer", and in a blink of an eye she had to go to Jiahe to film again.
"Why, did you agree?" Li Xuan finally turned around this time, walked slowly to the table and sat down and asked.
"Can I agree?" Lin Qingxia put down the coffee in her hand, gave Li Xuan a blank look and continued, "You are my boss."
Before meeting Lin Qingxia, Li Xuan was afraid that she would not agree. After all, Chenglong and Qin Xianglin, who had been pestering her before, were very good friends. However, when he thought of these two friends, Li Xuan felt very strange. Qin Xianglin and Chenglong both had a relationship with Deng Lijun, and this ex-boyfriend and boyfriend could continue to be good friends. Whatever he thought, how could he be so weird...
However, Qin Xianglin is worthy of the nickname "Fantasy Charlie". After being rejected by Lin Qingxia several times, she continued to take on several movies in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, he, a famous art film male god in Taiwan, could not be very popular in Hong Kong. Moreover, Chenglong had not returned to Hong Kong at that time, so he could not take care of this good friend. So after Qin Xianglin played a few supporting roles, she ran back to Taiwan and continued to shoot his art films and political and educational films.
This guy came and left more simply!
"Haha, that's good." Li Xuan nodded slightly, took a deep breath and continued: "But in this drama, you probably are not as outstanding as Dongfang Bubai..."
Lin Qingxia lay on the back of the chair and smiled slowly, "It's okay to press down on it, Dongfang Bubai is so outstanding that no one in Hong Kong dares to invite me to make a movie now."
“…”
As soon as Lin Qingxia said this, Li Xuan was a little amused and crying. This is one of the consequences of "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer".
In previous years, whenever a film became popular, a lot of followers often appeared in Hong Kong. For example, after Chenglong's "Drunk Fist" became popular, a large number of followers such as "Iron Fist", "Dragon Fist", and "Awakening Fist". Later, after "The Junior Brother" became popular, "Senior Sister", "Senior Brother" and "Senior Sister" ran out in a swarm.
However, after "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" became popular this time, the film never followed the trend.
In the final analysis, it is a million-dollar investment and a seven or eight-year advanced shooting technique. It is not something that the bosses who invest in followers dare to take action casually. If the movie loses money, it will be a real loss of money. Will Yongsheng, who has been insisting on following the trend, be over?
After Lin Qingxia successfully transformed into this movie "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", she had to face an embarrassing problem. At this time, Hong Kong movies did not pay much attention to the heroine at all. Take "Modern Bodyguards" which won this New Year's victory, as for the three brothers of the Xu family, only a few people can leave an impression on the heroine.
Lin Qingxia is now the price of a first-line male star, but she has no corresponding position. Moreover, the image of Dongfang Bubai she created is now deeply rooted in people's hearts, diluting her previous image of a literary goddess a lot, and many screenwriters have no idea to start with this new image.
The final result was that few film companies dared to ask Lin Qingxia to film.
Thinking of this, Li Xuan smiled helplessly, then looked at Lin Qingxia and asked, "Why didn't your aunt come together when you come to Hong Kong this time?"
"No need." Lin Qingxia shook her head and continued: "When I was in Taiwan, my mother only helped me with affairs sometimes. Now that she is old, I don't want her to run around, just stay in Taiwan to enjoy the happiness. Moreover, this is Hong Kong, and if my mother goes to learn Cantonese now, it's a bit troublesome. Why don't you arrange a local agent for me directly?"
"That's right." Li Xuan nodded, looked at the quiet scenery around him and said: "This halfway up is a famous villa area in Hong Kong, but it is very quiet."
Lin Qingxia also turned her head to look at the mountain view in the distance and said with interest: "In addition to the cable car that leads directly to the top of the mountain, minibuses and taxis cannot come in. There is also security guards patrolling at any time, so there is no need to worry about being harassed by reporters. Now your Ah Hong is becoming more and more famous. Do you still plan to live on the radio channel all the time?"
"No, I've been thinking about moving." Li Xuan stood up and looked at the top of the mountain and said slowly: "But now it's a bit unpaid to buy a villa. I'll wait for another year or two before talking about it."
"Isn't it worth buying now?" Lin Qingxia asked in confusion.
"Yes." Li Xuan sighed and continued: "Isn't the lease term in Hong Kong almost here? Hong Kong is now in chaos. I guess it will be even more chaotic if I wait for a year or two. By then, the house will probably be much cheaper."
Li Xuan didn't remember any other details of the Sino-British negotiations, but he remembered Mrs. Thatcher's very famous wrestling. Later generations also said that the news of this wrestling caused turmoil in the stock market after it came to Hong Kong. Li Xuan would not know how to trade stocks, but at that time the housing prices would definitely fall. It would not be too late to buy a half-mountain villa for him to live in.
"You are very optimistic, aren't you afraid of calling from the mainland?" Lin Qingxia looked at Li Xuan and said with a smile.
"If the mainland cannot win, in fact, as long as the water and electricity are cut there, Hong Kong will instantly become a dead city, and there is no need to fight. Besides, aren't you the same?" Li Xuan pointed to the house under his feet and smiled: "I just bought such a villa. This is not like something that a person who is afraid that the mainland will do."
Lin Qingxia shook her head and smiled and said, "When I bought this house, I didn't think so much. I just wanted to give myself a whole comfort zone for the time being."
"That's not bad. It's a property worth tens of millions of dollars for twenty or thirty years."
Lin Qingxia glared at Li Xuan speechlessly and said teasingly: "You are so sharp-tongued, you should really join the Young Talents Group to petition in the mainland. Maybe the Hong Kong issue will be solved by your mouth."
"Young Talents Group?" Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, then shook his head and smiled, "Young Talents Group, Qingxia, just wait and see, this thing will be just a big joke at that time."
As early as 1972, the mainland government wrote to the United Nations Anti-College Group that did not recognize Britain's sovereignty over Hong Kong. The subsequent United Nations General Assembly also passed a resolution, recognizing the mainland's position and demands on Hong Kong. At that time, the British political arena had no objection to this, and even the declarations and statements when China and the United States established diplomatic relations officially confirmed the issue of Hong Kong's sovereignty.
But when Mrs. Thatcher became the British Prime Minister two years ago, the wind began to change.
However, the British government did not want to return Hong Kong to the mainland at all, so Hong Kong politics began to manipulate the media to promote a series of separatist remarks such as "Hong Kong is an inalienable part of Britain" and "the mainland, a communist country, does not manage capitalist Hong Kong well". The mainland is not willing to be outdone. The left-wing "Ta Kung Pao" and "Wen Hui Po" immediately launched a counterattack and fought a public opinion war with the pro-British media.
In addition to calling out in Hong Kong through the media, the two countries have also won over elite members from all walks of life in Hong Kong society. For example, the secret journey north of Shaw Yifu and Kim Yong was a reaction made by the mainland in this era that confronted the British government.
At the beginning of this year, Hong Kong Government took advantage of the commercial power of traditional British funds, led by Jardinet and HSBC, and began to lobby many political and business elites in the traditional upper class of Hong Kong. The purpose was to form a so-called "young talent group" to rush to the capital to put pressure on the mainland in order to complete the UK's idea of "sovereignty" and "governance" to split Hong Kong from China.
Sovereignty and governance are separated? The British can think of it! Li Xuan doesn’t have to think about what happens to this young talented group when he goes to Beijing. Is that old leader a soft persimmon...
"Big joke?" Lin Qingxia sneered, looked at Li Xuan and teased, "So, according to what you said, you don't even have the qualifications to be a joke now."
"Forehead……"
Li Xuan felt a little embarrassed, then looked at Lin Qingxia and asked, "Qingxia, how about accompanying me to a movie awards ceremony in a few days?"
"Movie Awards Ceremony?" Lin Qingxia was stunned when she heard this, but immediately asked again: "I'll accompany you? Where is Ah Hong?"
"You two will accompany me together!"
