"That's what you said. Originally, I thought I would just do a little opening ceremony in the next few days. Since Director Liu has reimbursed me, I decided to book the Peninsula Hotel for a grand opening ceremony tomorrow."
"Okay, if they agree to let you book the venue, I will definitely pay for it." Liu Zhenwei said with a smile, and the three of them were joking with each other while thinking about going inside.
Many people saw this scene. Some people's expressions were a little unnatural, and some people were ready to come up and make friends.
There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. This sentence is universal at any time and anywhere.
In the past, they were unhappy with Yang Dongxu. It was because this mainland guy was too arrogant. He had no idea how much he weighed and went to the Hong Kong film industry to make noises. If he was not suppressed, would the Hong Kong film industry still have the face in the future?
But now two movies have been filmed, one of which almost had a box office of over 20 million, and The Invincible, which was just released not long ago, is a movie with a box office of over 10 million.
Participating in the production of "The Gambler" directly became a dark horse to hit the box office championship, which undoubtedly revealed Yang Dongxu's talent in movies.
In the past, Yuan Kui and Liu Zhenwei were nothing. One was a martial arts instructor with basically no reputation. Although the other had made movies with a box office of over 10 million, they barely exceeded 10 million and could only be considered moderately famous.
But just two people led a group of half-hearted people to make a movie, and they went straight to win the box office championship. Then if I also cooperate with this Yang Dongxu, can I become the next million-level director, or also have a chance to hit the annual box office champion?
What's the point of saving face in front of interests? Money that can be put into one's own pocket will make people feel more secure, okay?
So for a while, many people began to care about it, but before, everyone was on a united front, so even if they were tempted, they couldn't show too much enthusiasm at this time. After all, it is rumored that this Xiaoxu is not a good-tempered person. It's fine if he is too shameless to get close to him, and other people just pretend they don't see him. But if he is rejected on the spot, it won't look good. So since you have concerns in your mind, don't wait until you have an opportunity to talk about it.
"Xu Zi, would you like to introduce a few more people to you?" He greeted many people along the way, and then Liu Zhenwei went to accompany other guests Yuan Kui to stay and entertain Yang Dongxu.
Compared with Liu Zhenwei, who has been enjoying himself like a fish in water during this period, Yuan Kui, who doesn't like socializing very much, is much more low-key.
At this time, he said that he would introduce someone to Yang Dongxu. Obviously, he really regarded Yang Dongxu as a friend and wanted to introduce more relationships to him.
The current film industry in Hong Kong is not as simple as it seems. I went to the filming site and two guys with guns directly acted. I said I have a movie over there, so why don’t you come over and act in it for me? Your original salary was 100,000, but it turned out that Just throwing a few thousand at you will be considered your salary. This matter is not a rumor, it actually exists.
It was okay if I wasn't very familiar with Yang Dongxu before, but now I regard Yang Dongxu as a friend. And Yang Dongxu had such a quarrel with some people in the film industry, so he naturally wanted to help Yang Dongxu.
Yuan Kui was not qualified to act as a peacemaker to mediate the relationship between Yang Dongxu and the entire Hong Kong film industry, but he still had a few friends to introduce more people to Yang Dongxu and increase his own weight.
"Okay!" Yang Dongxu did not refuse Yuan Kui's kindness.
As the saying goes, it doesn't hurt to have multiple friends and get to know each other in many ways. It's not like he can't do it because he always feels that it's great to be reborn. It doesn't taste too good to be too independent.
So as long as you don't mess with me or try to take money from my pocket, it's fine for us to have dinner and drink and get to know each other. But if you insist on pinching me, do you know what it feels like to be slapped in the face?
Under the leadership of Yuan Kui, Yang Dongxu also walked around with a wine glass, but only a few people left. Then others saw that Yuan Kui seemed to be leading Yang Dongxu to make connections. Some people who were originally interested naturally joined in when they saw the opportunity. came up, so the circle seemed very lively. This made some people look a little ugly, but they were ignored.
After socializing for a while, Yang Dongxu felt his face froze with laughter. After finally getting rid of the crowd, he found a corner and sat down.
"Hey! Why are you here, Xing? Go out for a walk with them." When he came to the corner and saw Stephen Chow sitting here, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Compared to the nonsensical character in the movie, Stephen Chow in reality is actually a person who doesn't talk much and seems a bit duller.
"Young Master Yang..." Seeing Yang Dongxu in a daze, Zhou Xingchi quickly stood up.
Celebrities in this era look famous, but in fact their status is not high. Let’s not talk about the older generation’s views on actors. The current film industry alone is not a place where they can live up to their word.
So today's stars are just superficial, the real ones with status are the big guys, and even their agents have a higher status than the stars. This is not a joke.
Regardless of the fact that agents rely on artists to make a living, which movie can be made and which movie can't be made, and who they will cooperate with and who they won't. Although celebrities have a certain say, it is their agents who make the final decision.
These days you have to have an agent who can do the job and has connections. No matter how popular you are, you won't get any roles, and even if you do, you will be cornered and you won't dare to say anything.
So the gathering in front of me seems to be a celebration for myself, but the stars are here to make amends. The real core is the film company bosses that Yuan Kui led Yang Dongxu to get to know, or some bosses in other industries, and then the agents. , and finally these stars.
"Call me Xuzi, or Xiaoxu. If you are so polite again, I will be angry." Yang Dongxu interrupted Zhou Xingchi.
Compared with later generations of Star Masters, the current Stephen Chow is indeed much shyer. Although it was very satisfying to be called Mr. Yang by Mr. Xing, Yang Dongxu did have a bit of vulgar taste sometimes, but he never found any face in this aspect. What's more, he also admires Master Xing very much.
"Xu... Director Yang, I'd better call you Director Yang." After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Xingchi still didn't call out Xu Zi or Xiao Xu.
Yang Dongxu couldn't help rolling his eyes, but he didn't force it anymore. Nowadays, the social status of celebrities is like this. In addition, the two of them are not familiar with each other. If he insists, Stephen Chow will not let go, so it will be fine after he becomes familiar with the title.
Now that I have met Mr. Xing, I naturally need to have a good chat. If there is a chance, I must dig into my own company. But after chatting for a few words, Yang Dongxu found that Mr. Xing in front of him was too boring. He basically asked and answered questions. Sometimes he struggled for a long time to ask a question, as if someone was trying to kill him with a knife.
have to! There is no need to talk about life or anything like that.
So Yang Dongxu started chatting with him about movies, and as soon as he talked about Stephen Chow, his dullness suddenly became more lively. As they chatted, he, who originally didn't talk much, began to talk incessantly. On the contrary, Yang Dongxu, who had been talking before, talked a lot less, but he always got to the point every time he spoke, so the two of them became more and more interested in each other.
So much so that by the time the celebration party was over, the two of them still had unfulfilled intentions.
"Come to Haina." Seeing that everyone was almost gone, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but said to Stephen Chow.
"I......"
"TVB no longer makes movies, and you are not suitable for acting in TV series. Movies are where you can really show your talent." Yang Dongxu continued.
That's right, Stephen Chow didn't act in movies at first, but in TV series. These years have been tepid, and it was only in the past two years that I started to try acting in movies, and even filmed a TV series this year.
Such a future superstar in the film industry and half of the comedy industry is still wasting his time in TV series. Yang Dongxu really doesn't know what to say.
well! It's an old problem of Wireless TV. It has a lot of good talents from majors or night shifts, and they are guided in a targeted manner without classifying them, and they are all crammed into TV series. There is a reason why TVB was outperformed by Golden Harvest in the film industry.
"I... let me think about it." In the past, he was always tepid, but suddenly he became famous because of a movie. Stephen Chow was still worried about gain and loss.
"Don't think about it, this matter is settled. I have a lot of scripts in my hand that are suitable for you. You don't have to worry about me negotiating with Uncle Six." If Sandra Ng said she would consider it, she would not be filming Hong Xing's Thirteen Sisters now anyway. If Yang Dongxu can put it aside for a while.
Zhou Xingchi must be poached as soon as possible, even if Yang Dongxu, the lion of TVB, opened his mouth because of the movie "The Gambler", he would not hesitate.
Because now even if Wireless Lion opens his mouth, how much money can he ask for? The sales amount for an A-list star would be astronomical. After all, Stephen Chow has been in the entertainment industry for a year or two and has not been popular. How can you be sure that he will remain popular after becoming popular with one movie?
There are so many stars who have become famous thanks to one movie, but how many of them can really persevere? In addition, TVB is no longer making movies, and Stephen Chow really doesn't see any prospects in TV dramas, so the selling price of first-line stars is definitely not low.
Not to mention the price of an A-list star, Yang Dongxu would pay even if it were a king's price. No matter how much money you spend now, it is still small money. Compared with Stephen Chow's future achievements, this small amount of money is nothing.
"Have you fallen in love with Ah Xing?" Seeing Zhou Xingchi leaving, who was about to speak but didn't know what to say, Yuan Kui didn't know when he came to Yang Dongxu's side.
"A Xing is very talented, especially in movies, and it would be a waste to act in a TV series." Yang Dongxu did not hide his love for Stephen Chow. Besides, there is no need to hide it. When he was still filming The Gambler, he expressed his high opinion of Stephen Chow more than once, which made many actors on the crew at that time very envious.
"Don't say this to Uncle Six, or else he will hit you with his cane." Yuan Kui joked with a smile, but then his expression became serious and said: "But I agree with you, Ah Xing is indeed He’s a good prospect for acting in movies.”
"You don't want to poach him too, do you?" Yang Dongxu looked at Yuan Kui warily.
