Hualiu Director

Chapter 75 The New Friend I Met at the Party

As the cultural entertainment company with the largest scale, the most artists, and the most successful operation, Huayi has the capital to be proud of. This can be seen from the small birthday party of their little princess Wang Wen.

If Huang Xiaoming's house is a big villa, Lin Hong thinks Wang Wen's house is a castle, which is not an exaggeration at all.

"This villa has been specially designed for the Wang family since the developer acquired the land. The construction cost alone is said to have exceeded [-] million."

Huang Xiaoming also admired the chairman's skill in buying real estate, and this was just one of the many properties of the Wang family.

Lin Hong smacked his tongue inwardly. Just now he was invited into the hall on the first floor to take a look. Not to mention the antique piano and the authentic works of famous artists on the wall, the five or six-meter-long Swarovski chandelier alone is enough for Lin Hong to take a picture. There are [-] or [-] "Three Monks".

The size of the Wang family's yard is a bit exaggerated. Lin Hong even suspected that their yard was designed according to the standard of a football field, but when he thought of the six-story castle behind him, it seemed that only such a yard could match it.

There are quite a few cherry trees hanging on both sides of the courtyard at this time, which are very attractive.

The middle part of the yard is a low-growing rich tree and flat and soft natural turf. Two dining tables with a length of more than ten meters are placed in the middle of the yard with tablecloths, and there are a variety of food and drinks on them.

Young and beautiful waiters shuttled through the crowd with drinks, but tonight is a casual party, so the most popular ones are not champagne and red wine, but glasses of colorful cocktails.

Lin Hong didn't know how many people didn't eat dinner like himself, but very few people actually went to get food.Looking at the whole Aolong that weighed several kilograms without cutting it, Lin Hong felt that the Wang family never thought about letting the guests eat it, and wondered if the family would take it back to the castle for supper after the party was over. eat.

After complaining in his heart, Lin Hong finally felt that it is important to eat enough, so he took a plate and put a piece of steak and macaroni for himself, then hid in a corner and ate.

Huang Xiaoming is trying to lose weight recently. He doesn’t eat dinner. Although Xiao Hai ate dinner, he seldom eats desserts, so he wants to eat desserts when he sees the table full. Huang Xiaoming made an exception today and let him enjoy desserts at night .

So the guests present found a young man eating steak with a plate in a certain corner. Next to him was Huang Xiaoming feeding his son dessert. The two seemed to know each other very well.

Vanity Fair is like this, no matter how you have no image, as long as you are talking and laughing around the boss, then your lack of image will be taken as your true temperament.

After eating a plate of food, Lin Hong put down the plate and took a glass of cocktail. He took a sip and felt that the taste was indescribable, so he held it in his hand to pretend.

Although Wang Wen said it was a small party on the phone, Lin Hong could tell from the way the people came and went that they had a biased concept of the size of the party.

Fortunately, Lin Hong is not Qian Ninghuan, he is not against socializing, so it is very natural and decent to greet people around him with a glass of wine.And those who can come to this party must have a reason, so no one has any contempt because of Lin Hong's young face, naturally there is no face-slapping plot in the dog blood novel.

When the invited guests were almost here, the little birthday star Wang Wen finally came out!

Wang Wen, who was wearing a sky-blue tube top dress, walked down the stairs surrounded by her girlfriends, everyone was bright and moving.

Not far behind Wang Wen is Wang Lei, the helm of Huayi. At this time, he is full of vigor and smiles chatting with friends around him. Lin Hong caught a glimpse of Huayi's contracted director Feng Gang and domestic The first sister of film and television, Fan Bing.

Unexpectedly, neither the leader spoke nor the birthday man spoke. After everyone went downstairs, they shuttled among the crowd to say hello. Of course, people like Wang Lei basically came over to say hello. Even Huang Xiaoming, who had mastered his own destiny, couldn’t avoid it. .

"Lin Hong, welcome to come!"

Wang Wen came to Lin Hong's side, she was the absolute protagonist tonight, so when she took the initiative to clink glasses with Lin Hong, many people also cast curious eyes, thinking that this is the son of that family.

"Thank you for the invitation, you are beautiful tonight."

Boys praise girls for their beauty, which is a common social sentence all over the world.

"Thank you, I hope you have a good time tonight. By the way, let me introduce you to a friend." As she spoke, Wang Wen pulled a girl who was not inferior to her in appearance and temperament at all. "This is my best friend Qi Mei, a high-achieving student who just returned from studying in the United States, and is currently single!"

Wang Wen said that when Qi Mei was single, she winked at Lin Hong, but unfortunately she didn't take acting lessons, so she couldn't act out the charming charm of a bustard, so it seemed to outsiders that she wanted to seduce Lin Hong.

"This is director Lin Hong, one of the directors of the younger generation that I admire the most."

Wang Wen was very sincere when she said this. She herself is a director for fun, but she knows how strong Lin Hong is.

Lin Hong and Qi Mei held out their hands at the same time. Although they didn't know what this Qi Mei came from, she might become Wang Wen's best friend. It must not be easy to think about her family background. If I have a chance to introduce him to Kong Xiao later, maybe this is the potential investor.

I have to say that Lin Hong is really straight most of the time, when he faces beautiful women, he actually thinks about the money in other people's pockets. If Liao Xingmin knows about this, he will definitely call him worse than a beast.

Lin Hong: "Hello Miss Qi!"

Qi Mei: "Hello Director Lin Hong, just call me Qi Mei. I like your movies very much, I like every one of them, and I also like the songs you wrote."

Lin Hong: "Thank you!"

Qi Mei: "Actually, I am also engaged in film and television entertainment. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with director Lin Hong."

When Lin Hong heard this, he immediately became interested. Hualiu has just been established and needs a lot of contacts and resources in the circle. Since Qi Mei is a colleague, he must get acquainted.

Lin Hong: "Oh, I don't know which company Miss Qi belongs to?"

Qi Mei: "Qi Zhan, the founder of Wangyang Film and Television, is my father. I have just returned to China, and my temporary position is the special assistant to the chairman."

Wang Yang Entertainment?Lin Hong's face immediately turned from sunny to cloudy, and his enthusiasm was instantly extinguished.

Lin Hong: "Sorry Miss Qi, I have a friend over there, I'll go over and say hello."

After Lin Hong finished speaking, he walked away without waiting for Qi Mei's response, but he walked in the direction that he really had a friend, and that was the producer Cheng Xi.

Although the gossiping Wang Wen had just left for a short while, her eyes were always looking at her best friend and Lin Hong intentionally or unintentionally, and when she saw Lin Hong had left, she immediately went over to ask Qi Mei.

Wang Wen: "How is it, is he not impressed by your charm?"

Qi Mei: "It was fine at first, but when I said it was Wang Yang Entertainment, I saw his face suddenly turned ugly. Is there some misunderstanding?"

Wang Wen: "Ask me about your company? If there is really a misunderstanding, you can go back and check it out. Forget it, let's not talk about that, it's my birthday tonight, and there are so many handsome guys. Let's go, I'll take you to meet a few more indivual."

Qi Mei rolled her eyes and said she was speechless, but she still let Wang Wen drag her away. After all, those handsome guys Wang Wen mentioned are all popular young people in the entertainment industry, and there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future, and even poach the brokerage contract to Wang Yang It's not like there's no chance.

On the other side, Lin Hong walked towards Cheng Xi, who was chatting with a friend at the moment, but unlike the others in casual attire, Cheng Xi's friend was in formal attire, and the suit was still buttoned up.

"Sister Cheng Xi!"

Cheng Xi was also very happy to see Lin Hong when he turned around, and immediately introduced them to each other.

"This is director Lin Hong, the young director I want to work with the most. "Three Monks" is the work of director Lin Hong." "This is my college friend Xiao Di, the deputy manager of Lionsgate Greater China. "

Lionsgate, good guy, that is the most successful independent film company in the world, with the most classic R-rated film copyrights, and the most competitive Lionsgate outside of the eight major film companies.

While Lin Hong was shocked, Xiao Di also looked at Lin Hong carefully. He heard Cheng Xi talk about Lin Hong on the phone, so he went to see his movie, and then planted grass for all other movies and songs.

The two reached out and shook hands at the same time.

Lin Hong: "It's a pleasure to meet Manager Xiao."

Xiao Di: "I'm more happy to see you. Cheng Xi must have never told you that I am your fan. Of course, the songs you wrote are also very nice. Cheng Xi was actually wrong just now. I should be the former Lionsgate film boss. The deputy manager of the China region resigned last month."

has resigned?Lin Hong suddenly had a bold idea. Although it was a bit abrupt, let's talk about it later.

Lin Hong: "Resigned? To be honest, I'm a little happy. Don't get me wrong. In fact, I just established a film and television company called Hualiu yesterday, but we still lack a trader."

Cheng Xi's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Yeah, I'm really dark under the lights. Xiao Di, don't underestimate Hualiu's new establishment and small scale. I am very optimistic about them. You have been resting at home for more than a month. How about I accompany you someday? Go to the creative park for a stroll, if it suits you, you can stay in bj and take care of your uncles and aunts!"

The office of Lionsgate Greater China is in Hong Kong. Xiao Di has also been a trapeze artist for years. Last year, he divorced his wife in Hong Kong. In addition, he had conflicts with the general manager at work, so he resigned and returned to bj.

In fact, Cheng Xi also hopes that Xiao Di can go to Hualiu Film and Television, so that there will be more opportunities for cooperation between Yitian Film and Television and Hualiu Film and Television.

Xiao Di didn't expect that Lin Hong would invite him so bluntly on this occasion. In fact, he didn't think much of the film and television company founded by directors and actors. They can shoot and perform, but the film and television company is not so easy to operate.But Xiao Di certainly couldn't refute the face of Lin Hong and Cheng Xi at this time, so he could only smile and nod.

"Okay, if I have time, I will definitely go and have a look with Cheng Xi."

Seeing that her old classmate was not very interested, Cheng Xi immediately changed the subject to avoid Lin Hong's embarrassment.

"Lin Hong, it's been a few days, how is your preparation for the finals going?"

"The story has almost been conceived. The script can be produced after I go back tonight. As long as brother Xiaoming reads the script, I guess the machine can be turned on the day after tomorrow. There is still half a month before the live broadcast of the final night, and there is still time."

Xiao Di has seen Lin Hong's movies, but he hasn't followed the variety show "Please Advise the Director", so he doesn't know that Lin Hong's movies come out like this.He looked at Lin Hong in a daze, thinking whether the director is crazy or I heard it wrong.But he never expected that Cheng Xi would not be surprised by Lin Hong's words at all, but only cared about another issue.

Cheng Xi: "Huang Xiaoming came to play the leading role for you? His salary..."

Lin Hong: "Yes, it's Brother Xiaoming. He said that as long as the script is suitable, he is willing to act with zero pay. I definitely can't make Brother Xiaoming sacrifice so much, and the salary of 120 million can't be less."

Cheng Xi: "The production fee of 200 million is the rule. You give her a salary of 120 million. What about the other actors, as well as post-production and crew salaries, you must have overspend this time."

Lin Hong: "No, he is only needed as an actor, and the cost of setting up a scene is at most 10000 yuan. It will be almost the same after two or three days of shooting. I can save a lot of lunch money, and I haven't graduated yet. It’s much cheaper to do the post-production than the outside world, and it’s sure not to overspend.”

Every time Lin Hong said something, Cheng Xi counted with her fingers. After Lin Hong finished speaking, she looked at her fingers and nodded in agreement.Seeing this scene, sweat flowed from Xiao Di's temples, and he didn't know whether it was from the heat or from fright.
