Chapter 202 Conversation at the Birthday Banquet
"My sister Lian, happy birthday!"
"Miss Chen, happy birthday."
"Sister Yulian, I wish you a happy birthday and cheers!"
"Yu Lian, happy-for-rthday!"
“…”
At the end of March, Zhou Runfa ordered two tables at the Zhucheng Hotel in Causeway Bay and held a small birthday party for his girlfriend Chen Yulian. What surprised Li Xuan was that this was really just a birthday party. This time, Zhou Runfa did not invite anyone except for the friends in the circle of the two, and even his mentor Xu Anhua was not invited.
It was just when the wine was over, Liu Dehua, who seemed extremely young, stood up from his seat and held the wine glass and said to Zhou Runfa: "Brother Fa, I wish you and Sister Yulian a happy marriage and a happy heart forever!"
But as soon as he said this, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded at the table.
"Oh, is it a birthday party or a wedding party today?"
"Wedding banquet? Oh, how can you receive gifts if you don't prepare a red envelope?"
"It seems like a wedding banquet today!"
"Afa, you see this little brother saying so. When will you do something with Yulian?"
"It's Afa, we're still waiting for the wedding banquet."
“…”
Zhou Runfa stood up with a glass of wine with a little amused and waving his right hand, saying, "Everyone, I promise it will be very soon, but it won't be a problem for everyone in the specific time. Andy Lau, thank you for your good words today, and thank you for your concern. I'll give you a glass of wine, and I'll give you my respect first!"
After Zhou Runfa finished speaking, he raised his glass and drank it all. Liu Dehua, who knew that he had just said the wrong thing, also sat down cowardly after drinking the wine in his hand.
Liu Dehua came with his classmate Liang Jiahui today. They were students who had just been admitted to the wireless training class this year. However, although they had only been studying in the wireless training class for three months, because the training class adopted a teaching model of learning while practicing, they had already started acting.
Their first role as a supporting role was to play Passerby A in "Passenger" broadcast by TVB in February. After the TVB was released on the "Rogue Emperor" by Zheng Shaoqiu, the TVB arranged for Li Xuan's senior brother Du Qifeng to direct a TV series called "The Thousand Kings and the Heroes". In this TV series starring Xie Xian and Zhou Runfa, Liu Dehua and Liang Jiahui became supporting roles again, so they became familiar with Zhou Runfa.
But what made Li Xuan feel strange was that Zhou Runfa invited a lot of classmates in the back class, such as Liu Dehua, Liang Jiahui and Lu Liangwei. For example, Huang Minyi, Jing Daiying and Rong Huiwen on the woman's side, and of course Li Xuan, Zhong Chuhong and Lin Qingxia, etc. However, Zhou Runfa's classmates, except for Lin Ling's who just returned from studying in Canada, did not invite anyone else, such as Wu Mengda, who Li Xuan was most concerned about.
Wu Mengda was so happy in Taiwan last year that he didn't listen to TVB's words for several months, but he also made himself notorious there. When he couldn't make it in Taiwan at the end of last year, he ran back to Hong Kong, and was shocked to find that TVB no longer cared about him. This year, he had two supporting roles in "The Rogue Emperor" and "The Thousand Kings and the Thousand Kings and the Thousand Kings and the Legends Club" with his old relationship. No one in TVB is willing to invite him to film.
As a wireless contract artist, Wu Mengda owed hundreds of thousands of gambling debts outside. This family could not survive with the wireless basic salary. His life is getting poorer and poorer now.
The two good friends Zhou Runfa and Wu Mengda have a very different experience now, which makes people sigh.
However, Zhou Runfa did not invite Wu Mengda for this birthday party. Instead, Li Xuan, who had always wanted to get in touch with this gold medal green leaf, was a little disappointed.
"Mr. Li, I'm meeting for the first time. Please take care of me in the future." As the cup was being mixed, Zhou Runfa's old classmate Lin Ling'an sat next to Li Xuan and greeted.
Li Xuan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "I dare not take care of you. Friends can do it if you help each other. Why? Mr. Lin means that he wants to enter the movie industry. Don't go back to the TV station?"
Li Xuan has long heard of the name Lin Linghu, and he knew that he was a famous director in Hong Kong, but he couldn't remember what movies he had made. This guy is not a very famous director, and he can instantly associate the movie with the director's name.
After Li Xuan traveled over, he learned a lot about Lin Lingxi. For example, he and Zhou Runfa were classmates in the wireless artist training class, but after graduation, he did not become an actor, but turned to the background and started working as a TV producer on the wireless TV station. After working on wireless for a few years, he switched to Jiayi TV station.
Unfortunately, he changed jobs in the wrong time, so he chose to go to 78 years. As a result, Jiayi went bankrupt after only producing a "Pioneer" on Jiayi TV.
Then, this guy went to study in Canada and just came back a few days ago.
"Haha, TV station?" Lin Linglu chuckled and replied slowly: "Mr. Li is afraid he doesn't know what I am in Canada, right?"
"Oh? I hope to hear it carefully!" Li Xuan raised his wine glass and said.
"I'm film producer in Canada." Lin Lingxi paused slightly and continued: "I've been on TV for several years and knew that there are too many constraints on filming a TV series, so it's better to be a film director. So after Jiasi went bankrupt, I remembered to change careers, and then I went to York University to study film producer."
"Good idea is also a very correct choice!" Li Xuan exclaimed and continued: "Not only does it have little constraints on making movies, but Hong Kong movies have also broken box office records in the past two years, and now they have reached a super high box office of 20 million. I dare say that Hong Kong movies will enter a golden age for more than ten years. At this time, if people who seize the opportunity to enter this industry to dig gold, if I really have talent, I don't say that I will succeed and make a fortune."
"Peng Manbuyi?" Lin Lingqi glanced at Li Xuan and chuckled, "Mr. Li, your words are really realistic."
"Haha, this is the fact." Li Xuan waved his hand and continued: "At Shangyanshang, I was a company boss before as a director. Oh, by the way, Mr. Lin returned to Hong Kong to be a film director this time. Is he planning to be a retail investor or sign a contract with which company?"
There is no need to explain the contracted directors in detail, and the retail investors Li Xuan mentioned are those directors who have not signed a contract with the film company and still look for investors everywhere with scripts. For example, Xu Anhua and Xu Ke before signing the contract with the Xinyi City, they all look for investors to film. And these investors are not limited to the film industry, as long as they can afford money. For example, investing in Hu Jinquan's Luohu Lianzhi, the two shareholders of this film company, one opens a restaurant and the other advertises.
"I plan to sign a contract with a company, so I asked Mr. Li to take care of him this time." Lin Lingqiu and Li Xuan talked for a long time and finally expressed their intentions.
“…”
The answer was Li Xuan for a while. After pausing, he asked curiously: "Mr. Lin means that he wants to come to my Xuanyuan?"
"Yes." Lin Lingqiu nodded without any concealment.
"Uh..." Li Xuan thought about it and asked in confusion: "I'm very curious. With Mr. Lin's ability, it's more than enough to go to Jiahe or the Xinyi City supported by Princess Jin Cinemas, but why did he find me, an unknown small company?"
Li Xuan only talked about these two film companies, and Shaw Brothers needs to be said. Although Fang Yihua has opened the door to convenience now, there will definitely be no future if outside directors go there. Hong Jingbao is also full of talents, with several directors in hand, and there is no shortage of people. As for other Siyuan, colorful and collaborative people, their reputation is not as high as Li Xuan's company, but it goes without saying.
"This is not difficult to explain." Lin Lingxiu thought for a while and asked back: "Mr. Li, you should know Director Wu Yusen. What type of movie he is shooting in Jiahe now?"
"Comedy."
"Where is Xu Ke, who has just been recruited in Xinyi City?"
"Uh..." Li Xuan looked at Lin Lingdong and said strangely: "It's also a comedy."
The first movie that Xu Ke entered the New Art City to shoot, and finally the news came out. The name was "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Li Xuan didn't have to think about the plot of this movie hard. When he heard the name, he knew it was a comedy.
"Mr. Li, look!" Lin Ling's shrugged and said, "Actually, I prefer to shoot action movies. It's not that I don't like comedy movies, but I just don't want to shoot them. If I go to these two companies, I don't have to think about it. I will first shoot a comedy movie for five or six years. So after thinking about it, only Mr. Li can show this courage in Hong Kong."
Hearing this explanation, Li Xuan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
This Lin Linghu is an academic director similar to Xu Ke and Wu Yusen. Doesn’t he like filming comedy films? (To be continued.
