Chapter 353: Going Home (Part 2)
Chapter 353 Going home (Part 1)
"At the TW Golden Horse Awards trip, the film and television company boss is a visit to the Lin family and meets the parents in advance."
"I visited the shooting scene of "Shanghai Bund" many times, and the two were intimate!"
In this era, some people still believe this gossip, but do not think it is just a joke after dinner, especially the three people did not respond to various rumors, as if they had made accusations. The rich young master and celebrity female artists were still in love triangles. Such a gimmick also promoted the two films indirectly.
Xiaojun smiled faintly: "Why? I don't like this feeling of being sought after by everyone, and I don't like this feeling of being crazy about being sought after by others?"
Zhao Yazhi reached out and pinched Xiaojun, and said angrily: "Then you should also tell them in advance so that they can prepare. I was a little overwhelmed just now."
The people around him also laughed, and everyone was excited. Although they were a little prepared for this enthusiasm, it also proved that the operation of the two films was successful. The popularity of "Shanghai Bund" and the premiere of "A Plan" all made all the cast and crew full of confidence.
The audience also began to enter the venue one after another. Xiaojun and others, who were sitting in the first two rows, also calmed down, sat quietly on the chair, keeping a smile on their faces.
After the enthusiastic audience entered the theater, some young people still shouted their favorite names. This situation also reminded Xiaojun of the crazy fans that were more than ten years later.
Brigitte Lin and Cheng Long, the artists who received the most attention, saw the enthusiasm of the audience, which also affected the normal playback of the video, stood up and waved to the audience in the seats behind them to express their gratitude.
"Please calm down and watch the video seriously. Don't you want to see the outstanding performances of your favorite stars in the video?" The enthusiastic scene also made Zou Huai temporarily feel intent and contacted the theater. Through the loudspeaker, he incited emotions to the audience present, hoping that this enthusiasm will be maintained, and hope that everyone can let the video play as soon as possible.
The scene gradually became quieter, the headlights in the venue were also turned off, and Haoyu and Jiahe's company logos appeared on the big screen, and the video officially began.
The funny performances of Cheng Long and Sammo Hung are different from Li Lianjie's kung fu display; Brigitte Lin's stunning appearance and temperament are also the only difference between this film and the plot in the movie Xiaojun's memory; the control of large scenes stimulates the visual cells of the audience, and the beautiful scenes piled up with money also attracts the audience's emotional changes.
When the subtitles for thanks for watching appeared, the headlights of the entire theater lit up, and all the cast and crew stood up, turned around and waited for the audience's most intuitive and immediate reaction.
"Papapapapapapapapa!!!!" The applause was thunderous, accompanied by the cheers of some young people.
The continuous warm applause almost overturned the entire theater.
Xiaojun walked to the side and discussed it briefly with Zou Huai for a few words. Then the two separated. Zou Huai went to inform the theater to prepare. Xiaojun signaled to Cheng Long, Lin Qingxia and others, and asked all the cast and crew of this film to go to the stage where the curtain had just risen.
Seeing the actors step onto the stage, the audience's enthusiasm continued to rise, and the applause became warmer again.
High quality, big scenes, stars, and good plots are destined to be the success of "Plan a", and the audience on the scene are deeply intoxicated and cheer for this video.
Thank you. It was the result of Xiaojun and Zou Huai’s discussion. All the cast and crew members said a few warm thanks to the audience on the stage.
Half an hour after the film ended, the audience at the premiere theater left reluctantly. At the entrance of the theater, the audience who had watched the movie in other theaters, and knew that they had not left the venue, also rushed to the entrance of the theater.
Xiaojun also had a unique meaning when choosing this theater, because this theater has a back door leading to another street. Today's warm scene was something he had expected long ago. At this time, various film and television companies and artists would not be able to deal with such crazy movie fans. If these people were allowed to go out at this time, the situation would definitely be out of control. At Xiaojun's instructions, the artists and crew in the venue left the theater through the back door, and Haoyu and Jiahe sent two representatives to the entrance of the theater to evacuate the movie fans.
At Xiaojun's suggestion, Zou Huai also sent staff to join forces with Haoyu Film and Television's staff to collect box office data for the first and second major theaters, which will be broadcasted soon.
At this time, when Xiaojun and others walked out of the theater through the back door, the data also came back, accounting for almost half of the theaters in this period, and continued to broadcast. The preliminary box office statistics of the two games had exceeded one million. A successful start made everyone not completely free from the warm environment just now, and their emotions were mobilized again.
"Following everyone's condition, I can't sleep even if I let them go back at this time. It just so happened that you, the boss, didn't celebrate for them even if you took advantage of this opportunity today?" Zou Huai walked to Xiaojun and asked in a low voice.
Xiaojun paused for a moment and nodded. After this premiere, the film was awesome. He had no way to attend the box office celebration banquet in 7 days. He promised that the girls at home would take them out for fun on May Day. Tomorrow morning, he would fly back to Tianjing. Taking advantage of the good mood today, everyone was in a good mood and took this opportunity to hold a small celebration banquet for them in advance.
After looking at the star artists around him who were dressed up to attend the premiere, Xiaojun signaled the left to call the Imperial Building. That place was safer. At this moment, they were not public figures, and they also needed personal space and entertainment. In the Imperial Building, these would be well protected.
Of course, these people would not refuse the invitation from the two film and television bosses, Xiaojun and Zou Huai. Moreover, almost half of the guests present today were familiar with Xiaojun, a boss who almost didn't show off, so naturally they were willing to contact him. The three productions of Haoyu, three were very popular. Even tonight's "Plan A" is definitely not worse than the previous two productions.
What does such a company mean for artists? Star-making machines. Li Lianjie, including Lin Qingxia and Zhao Yazhi, who are already famous, are also more popular and familiar with Zuo Shao. At least in the future, they may have the opportunity to devote themselves to movies or TV series produced by Haoyu Film and Television.
After Zuo Shao's order, the Imperial Building immediately responded as quickly as possible, closing the restaurant on the top floor as a place for Zuo Shao to treat him.
"I am very grateful to everyone for being here today. I also have worked hard for all the staff of the two productions. I have never had time to gather with you. I just took advantage of today's opportunity to be lively together, which also made everyone who has been tired for so long. Qingxia, Yazhi, you big stars, don't dress so grandly, change to some casual clothes, and the store downstairs of Haoyu Clothing Emperor Building is open to all of you, which is also my thanks to everyone!"
The car came to the Imperial Building and walked into the restaurant. Although it was a temporary preparation, both in quantity and quality were very high. Xiaojun looked at the evening dresses on the actresses, which was too inconvenient, so he asked Brigitte Lin and Zhao Yazhi to take the lead and go down to change the clothes.
"Haha, I finally got the chance to raise the butcher knife. The clothes worn by Haoyu are so expensive now. Now it's good. Everyone will pick expensive ones, but it's useless. Fortunately, I didn't eat at night, otherwise I won't know if I can make Xiaojun feel so painful for a while!" Zhao Yazhi raised her arm and made a move toward Xiaojun. While smiling, she pulled the familiar TVB actress beside her, accompanied by the second and third left, and walked downstairs to select clothes.
"Thank you, Mr. Zuo!" The rest of the people dared not treat Xiaojun so relaxed like Zhao Yazhi. At the same time, they also envied Zhao Yazhi's good luck in their hearts. They became "good friends" with people like Mr. Zuo. Although everyone knows that there is nothing wrong with them, seeing the two of them being together more and more casually, they have to secretly wonder if something really happened?
Brigitte Lin did not go down, but asked Xiaoyi, who was familiar with her, to help him choose a casual outfit.
"Everyone can play with confidence. When you are tired of playing, eat well, drink too much, and just rest here. The room on the two floors downstairs is already empty!"
With Xiaojun's announcement, the male stars and some actresses who did not continue to be present happily expressed their gratitude to Xiaojun.
As public figures, the privacy of stars in their private lives is almost difficult to exist, especially for parties that can be indulged and control themselves, so as not to be taken by reporters when they go back. Xiaojun's thoughts are so thoughtful that some of them are not very familiar with Xiaojun, or they can be said to be artists who still have a hint of fear, feel that Zuo Shao is unique.
The restaurant on the top floor of the Imperial Building tonight is very lively.
"First of all, thank you for your investment in the film, so that such a good film can be released. It belongs to you tonight!" Zou Huai first raised his glass to toast everyone. He is no better than a young man. In such an occasion, just click it.
After Zou Huai's simple words, Xiaojun stood up and said to everyone present with a smile: "What are you? It's the future of xg movies. I will curry favor with everyone from today. In the future, Haoyu has a notebook to ask everyone to film, whether it is an actor or photography, lighting, drama affairs, etc., no matter everyone is allowed to refuse. Tonight, I don't want to talk about work anymore, I just hope everyone can enjoy it and do it!"
"Young Master Zuo said the sarcastic words. Don't say that Haoyu took the initiative to look for us. Even if we were snatching Haoyu, Zuo Shao could give a role, we were all flattered. Who dares to compare Qingxia and Miss Zhao? Zuo Shao appointed the heroine, don't you think?" Cheng Long and Xiaojun have been together for more time, and they also know that Xiaojun would not care about this harmless and regulated atmosphere. On the contrary, they would cooperate very much. After the trip to TW, Cheng Long also completely kept the little thoughts about Qingxia in his heart and no longer thought about it.
"Haha, yes!" Zou Huai was the first to joke about Xiaojun, and the people who were a little familiar with Xiaojun also started to make excuses.
Brigitte Lin picked up a chopstick and threw it in the direction where Cheng Long sat. Her cheeks were slightly red. I don’t know if it was drinking or because of shyness.
"Hey, I originally thought that if the video was sold well, I would give you some rewards, but some people dared to joke with me, and the reward was cancelled!"
Xiaojun's side was Brigitte Lin and Zhao Yazhi. After Cheng Long's teasing was just spoken, Zhao Yazhi pinched his hand down.
Cheng Long, who originally wanted to watch Xiaojun's jokes, became the target of public criticism after Xiaojun's words. All the cast and staff of "Plan A" condemned him together, and asked him to compensate Xiaojun for his reward.
A laughter made the somewhat restrained and formal scenes liven up a lot. Zou Huai and other slightly older people also left after a few glasses of wine. This occasion belongs to young people.
"Yazhi, there are rewards for "Plan A". What are we missing? Zuo Shao is more favorable than the other!" Zhao Yazhi, a girl with a cheerful personality and a good popularity among Shaw Brothers, is everyone's pistachio. Almost everyone treats her as a friend. At this time, Chow Yun-fat said with a sour mouth, but most of the jokes are involved.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhao Yazhi started talking too much. Faced with such words that teased the relationship between the two, she didn't care. Instead, she really grabbed Xiaojun's arm, pouted slightly, and looked at Xiaojun with dissatisfaction.
Xiaojun couldn't help feeling funny, and reached out to pinch Zhao Yazhi's slightly pouting lips, and said with a smile: "You silly girl, they are laughing at you and joked, but you don't settle the score with them, and don't distinguish between inside and outside? I'll give you a notebook. You are the heroine, and the hero and various roles are asked to choose. How about it? See who dares to tease you, so don't play it for him?"
When Chow Yun-fat heard this, he understood that the male protagonist of Zuo Shao’s book might have the idea of deciding himself, so he made a joke on this matter.
"Okay, okay!" Zhao Yazhi narrowed her eyes cutely, looked at Xiaojun with drunken eyes, suddenly raised her head and kissed Xiaojun on the cheek, and then hid on the back of the chair, already drunk.
"Ah~~~~~~~~" Everyone started to cheer again, Xiaojun was stunned for a moment, and turned around and saw that this silly girl seemed to be drinking too much.
The atmosphere was also when the boss Zou Huai, who left, Xiaojun, was very relaxed, and gradually became lively. He was in groups of three or five, either communicating feelings or drinking. Yes, it was rare to have the opportunity to indulge himself in drinking, and almost all male stars, including several female stars, also let go.
Xiaojun was completely targeted by the public. Everyone came over to toast. Whether it was white wine, beer, red wine, or foreign wine, Xiaojun refused everyone and greeted everyone with a smile, giving everyone a face. Everyone also found that after a round of drinking several kinds of wine, Zuo Shao seemed to have nothing to do, so he gradually let go of his courage and ran to Xiaojun to fight for the wine.
Zhao Yazhi had been taken downstairs by her agent Sister Mei. This girl had an amazing alcohol tolerance and had already been sleeping.
Brigitte Lin always sat beside Xiaojun. Seeing everyone toasting him with wine, she was afraid that no one would take care of him after drinking too much, so she never left her seat. She originally wanted to persuade him to drink less, but Brigitte Lin found that Xiaojun was really in a huge amount. Even after this round, there were a lot of drinks. Xiaojun didn't move and didn't even go to the toilet.
"Pretending to my dad at my house, it turns out that he can drink so much!" Brigitte Lin took advantage of the toasts and lowered his head beside Xiaojun and said dissatisfiedly.
Xiaojun lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "Didn't you help you save that day? Besides, your father cares so much about drinking, it's like a win or loss. You said I want to drink with him, so you won't have to send him to the hospital!"
Next, Xiaojun accepted everyone's request to drink, until people like Cheng Long, who thought they had good alcohol tolerance were drunk, and no one dared to come to find Mr. Zuo to drink. He was too capable, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he would not be drunk for a thousand cups.
Some people say that it is the most likely occasion to make strangers acquaintances at the table. This sentence is not wrong at all. Whether it is Shaw Brothers, Jiahe, or Haoyu’s employees, after that night, many people became friends. In the same circle, especially during the honeymoon period, such friends are not only a problem between individuals, but also a lot of hidden benefits to the three cooperative companies. In cooperation, the efficiency difference between familiarity and unfamiliarity will be much different, which is the most obvious benefit.
The artists are familiar with each other. People who are already good have deepened their friendship. In the film and television industry, almost everyone is wearing masks and it is really hard to see the sincere side that makes people reveal. On this occasion, I dare not say that everyone takes off their masks, but it also reveals the other side of themselves. For example, Zhao Yazhi's cute performance makes everyone feel that this little sister is cute and innocent.
