Chapter 267: Heart-to-Heart? That's Colluding!

Gongjian Hutong, Ice Cellar Wang Fu.

Ouyang Changqing stayed in an ordinary three-star hotel when he came to Beijing for official business, strictly adhering to the travel subsidy standards and the appropriate level.

As a local station with the highest degree of entertainment and marketization, the temptations he faces are much higher than ordinary people.

He knows the obstacles of the reform leader, just like Shang Yang, he must be extremely careful.

Hong Tao and Yao Jia walked into his room one after another carrying fruits and pastries. Hong Tao is also an old minister of Ouyang Changqing's latent residence. He followed the old station director from the economic vision all the way to the real dragon rise. He and Long Danni are two generals in the variety show sector under Ouyang Changqing.

In the future *Super Girl*, he is one of the general directors, and there is also a brilliant resume including hit programs such as *Variety Show* and *I Am a Singer*.

"Leader, shouldn't you rest here too?"

The sky was getting dark. Ouyang Changqing adjusted the angle of the desk lamp, took out his reading glasses and put them on: "Well, wait a minute."

Hong Tao and Yao Jia looked at each other, one sitting on the other bed in the standard room, one sitting on the chair, waiting silently for him to finish his work.

With a long sigh of relief, Ouyang Changqing covered the pen cap, simply broke a banana to fill his hunger, and signaled Yao Jia to close the door.

"Calling you over is because the orientation and content of the *Happy Girl* program may have adjustment expectations, and we need to plan early."

Hong Tao was stunned. Since the *Super Girl* final fell last year during the National Day, the station began to plan and prepare.

Countless studies and judgments on the *Super Girl* program recording, countless tug-of-war negotiations with the title sponsor, countless internal debates and setting the tone.

This established the current program style trend.

Ouyang Changqing sighed and detailed the content of the meeting during the day.

Yao Jia frowned, Hong Tao was furious: "This is too bullying, right?"

"Only allow officials to set fires, not allow people to light lamps? Besides, isn't he also a commoner?"

Yao Jia smiled bitterly: "Two years ago, he was a commoner, now he can be counted as a big landlord, or the kind of landlord and gentry who can bargain with the official master."

"But the strange clothes he said, or curiosity, including the Yang Er and Ke Yimin we invited, are all..."

The words were not clear, but the old station director and Yao Jia knew it well.

They are all professional poisonous tongues, all plot arrangements, all hitting the "aesthetic" and "curiosity" cultural poison that Lu Kuan accurately hit!

But this was originally their winning magic weapon and eye-catching tool that they painstakingly thought of to get out of *Super Girl*, why did they die before they succeeded?

The talent show of Xiangtai in the future, especially in the stage of field audition, goes this way.

For example, Yang Erche Namu often expresses her likes and dislikes in a relatively exaggerated way, and enhances her sense of existence and program effect by creating a unique poisonous tongue image.

Ke Yimin is also very direct, often scolding people for stuttering, "Don't sing, get out." "You have no talent, don't waste time."

The players are nervous, she scolds people for stuttering, and there is one who has gender cognitive impairment, Ke Yimin directly wants to verify the body.

Including arranging passers-by players to deliberately confront the judges, and even the host's bickering and fighting between Sun Guoqing and He Jiong in the Chengdu division in 2006...

Say it's not a script, not deliberately aesthetic curiosity, who believes it?

Yao Jia sympathized with Hong Tao, who was under great pressure. With such pearls and jade in front, no one dared to take it lightly.

She tried to help: "Station Director, this kind of meeting... Lu Kuan said it, maybe he is just blowing his mouth to disrupt our deployment?"

"Yes! Station Director, this word has to be guarded against, but it can't be fully believed. Our relationship with the bureau is not necessarily worse than him, right?"

Ouyang Changqing looked at the subordinates who were full of rebellious spirit and smiled: "Don't be nervous first, just let you make a plan, having a defense is always good."

"In terms of system closeness, we are of course closer, but in terms of interest connection and human feelings, we dare not say."

"In addition, this time Travel Satellite TV also cut off an arm and took the initiative to give up *Super Girl 2*."

He paused: "I just inquired, it should be that the copyright was sold to Oriental TV or Jiangsu TV. It looks like they really want to snipe us."

Yao Jia was the first person in Xiangtai to contact President Lu, and also the one who knew him best: "Station Director, Travel Satellite TV should have other ideas. I will make an appointment with Sister Long to have a meal in the past few days."

Ouyang Changqing nodded silently, knowing what she meant.

"Yanda Huayi people found me just after the meeting. Recently, Jang Na-ra's album *One* has just been released, and the publicity of *Seven Swords* is about to start."

"Let's see if the station can come up with a plan. Our cooperation with Yanda Huayi must continue to deepen."

Although very unwilling to admit it, seeing Wang Dajun's performance of swallowing his anger in front of Lu Kuan at the meeting, Ouyang Changqing knew that the pressure brought by Wangjie to the two families could no longer be resisted by the previous loose alliance.

He is considering establishing a film and television variety show production company in the name of Tianyu, controlled by Xiangtai, investing in Yanda Huayi, and reaching closer cooperation between the two families.

This is also learning from Travel Satellite TV and Wangjie.

Whenever Wangjie has a movie, Travel Satellite TV's publicity one-stop service is inevitable, and the famous artists cultivated will feed back to the TV station to raise the coffee for variety shows.

For example, the episode of *Young Director and His Heroine* that just ended.

The peak ratings exceeding *Art Life* made the industry exclaim that another phenomenal interview program was born.

Seeing the pessimistic and desolate faces of the two subordinates, the old station director also cheered them up: "Let go and do it, like in the economic vision, you charge into the battle, I will be a strong backing."

"The things of the radio and television, the things on the surface, I will solve it!"

Hong Tao and Yao Jia looked at each other, thinking of the struggle process of rising abruptly and galloping forward those years, and their hearts ignited with fighting spirit!

Ouyang Changqing is far from blowing mouth and chicken blood. As a leader, he has his own responsibility.

In 2011, because Xiangtai violated the regulations on the duration and time of broadcast, the program was stopped, and even implicated *Happy Camp* and *Everyday Upward*.

Ouyang Changqing went to Beijing to plead guilty alone, took all the responsibilities on himself, and finally replaced the program ban with a heavy fine.

It was also from this incident that the surface began to strictly supervise the pan-entertainment of domestic variety shows and talent shows.

Including the out-of-circle remarks of female guest Ma Nuo in Jiangsu TV's *If You Are the One*, "I would rather cry in a BMW than laugh on the back of a bicycle," also made the program accountable.

Domestic variety shows carried out collective self-examination and self-correction.

If it were not for other purposes, Lu Kuan would certainly not be idle to participate in the meeting, but just a letter of war under the authoritative microphone.

Last October, Zhou Jun and Yanda Huayi launched a cyber violence against Liu Yifei, who was closely related to Wangjie, and both sides had been dormant after being countered.

At the beginning of the new year, Zhou Jun began to make articles on the actual controller status of Blog Network and Travel Satellite TV, wanting to weaken his right to speak in the public opinion battlefield.

For Lu Kuan, introducing other allies can easily resolve Zhou Jun's offensive, but that is a bit of taking care of one thing and losing another.

What is the difference from agreeing to Zhou Jun's investment from the beginning?

Power is still the most important thing to be mastered in one's own hands.

In addition to the efforts and layout made in *Tangshan Earthquake*, the Olympic Games, and donating buildings, actions against Zhou Jun and Yanda Huayi's current head little flower Jang Na-ra are also underway.

For example, in the envelope in front of him, the photos secretly sent by Zhuo Wei:

Zhou Jun and Jang Na-ra entered and exited the InterContinental Hotel in Financial Street, kissing intimately in the car.

This old boy is quite careful, driving a Passat Lingyu produced last year, both sides are pasted with dark car film, the photo was taken by Zhuo Wei's studio when driving in the opposite direction.

Zhou Jun's father-in-law's identity is not simple. This photo is definitely useful, but it cannot be thrown out casually. It must be used at a critical moment.

Now sending it to the Internet is at most scratching the itch. With Zhou Jun's means, he can easily fool it, and even his wife may not care.

However, Jang Na-ra can think about starting.

Hitting the snake and hitting the seven inches, the first milestone work of Jang Na-ra's out-of-circle road in China is *The Mischievous Princess* which is about to start filming this year.

It is very coincidental that the producers of this TV series are Wu Dun and Deng Jianguo.

"President Lu, hello, thank you for the help of Focus Media last time, hehe."

Wu Dun has been tossing about real estate in the Bay Area in the past two years, and the funds for film and television investment in his hands are not very abundant.

In 2004, the *Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan 3* he participated in investment and production was broadcast, and the publicity funds were stretched. It was Lu Kuan who reached out to help, instructing Focus Media and Blog Network to give some low-price resources.

"President Wu, is there a new play to be released recently?"

"Wow, Director Lu's ears are sharp enough. I just found someone to start writing the script, called *Kung Fu Dunk*, preparing to find Jielun to cooperate."

"Does Director Lu have time to help me take a look?"

President Lu was stunned. What he wanted to say was a TV series.

As for *Kung Fu Dunk*, it started filming at the end of 2006 and was released at the beginning of 2008. It makes no difference whether you look at it or not. It is a rotten movie among rotten movies.

"Okay, I will go to Hong Kong in the past two days, and Jielun will also be there."

"Back to the topic, I heard that you found Jang Na-ra to play an ancient costume play? Su Youpeng participated in the performance."

Wu Dun knew his relationship with Yanda Huayi, planning how to take advantage: "Yes, Yanda Huayi gave me the investment share of the new movie *Red Cliff*, a business that is not easy to talk about."

After the establishment of the China Heng Film and Television Company, the first big production officially announced was *Red Cliff*. This project has been prepared by John Woo for many years.

Wang Dajun felt that there was no director like President Lu who was proficient in Hollywood within the company, and only found foreign aid to participate in big films.

Such a subject must at least guarantee profitability in Japanese, Korean, and European and American copyrights. The possibility of domestic cost recovery is too small.

President Lu went straight to the point: "How can a stick play our Chinese princess? Change people, use Wangjie's Su Chang."

"Su Chang is a willful junior sister in *Zhu Xian*, and the fit with this role is very strong, the image is sweet, and the acting skills are passable."

Wu Dun smiled: "President Lu, the key is..."

He didn't finish the remaining words, because he knew that the person on the other end of the phone was clear.

"Wangjie and Emperor have a *Protégé* project established, you Wu boss also participate, and you don't have to worry about the publicity of this *The Mischievous Princess*."

"Also, the 80 million US dollar investment *Red Cliff* they claim, whether it can recover the cost is not certain, I said this."

Wu Dun felt a drum in his heart. He just reached a verbal agreement with Wang Dajun and others. How did a delicious meal become stinky dog shit in your Lu Kuan's eyes?

But the repeated victories of this young director since his rise made him have to cheer up and consider carefully.

"Director Lu, this..."

"Okay, President Wu, we are friends, I just tell you these big truths, you have a number in your heart."

"Waiting for your reply."

Beep beep beep beep beep...

The second phone call was made to Li Meijing of CJ Entertainment. The two sides had already reached a consensus on the Pan-Asian Film Academy project before.

The film unicorn company in South Korea values cooperation with this director who has both business acumen and artistic genius.

Snatching *The Mischievous Princess* is an appetizer. Using CJ Entertainment's tentacles in the stick to nail her to the pillar of shame is the main course, and then accompanied by wine and dessert.

Zhou Jun likes to play games under the table, so Lu Kuan continues to take the interest chain to bundle, and drag his little girlfriend under the table.

Maybe it's really desperate, will this little stick under the table choose to lick President Lu's feet?

The next day, President Lu sat on the plane to Hong Kong leisurely.

In the past, he went to see Mei Yanfang, do distribution, and talk about business with Li Shoucheng. This time the purpose is relatively pure, that is, to play football and do charity.

The Hong Kong Star Football Team was established in 1986, initiated by the late Hong Kong team football player Yin Zhiqiang and music tycoon Alan Tam.

At the beginning of its establishment, the lineup was luxurious, and the first appearance players were Jackie Chan, Alan Tam, Andy Lau, Eric Tsang, Yuen Biao, He Jiajin, etc.

The initiator Alan Tam wore the captain's armband, and Andy Lau served as the goalkeeper.

Mei Yanfang was keen on charity, and had a relationship with Alan Tam and others, joined the team and became the person in charge of the cheering squad.

Later, the team established the Hong Kong Star Sports Association Charity Fund.

This time she also happened to meet, feeling that the younger brother had responded to this robbery because he had saved himself before, and wanted to help him accumulate some blessings through charity donations.

So there was this mainland, Hong Kong football star performance match project, raising funds to help students in poor villages in Sichuan Province.

The mainland team also has a kung fu boy Wu Jing, because he was filming *SPL: Sha Po Lang* in Hong Kong and did not return to the mainland, waiting for the large army on the spot.

The business class was wrapped up by Zhao Benshan with a big wave. He was full of enthusiasm for this trip to Hong Kong and was ready to promote his great cause of entering Liaozu.

Lu Kuan, Zhao Benshan, Yu Quan, Sun Nan and others played enough in the business class together. The remaining one is Chen Yufan's girlfriend Bai Xue.

That is Bai Baihe.

Chen Yufan comes from the Navy compound, red and red, although mixed in the Beijing circle, he does not exclude being good with Lu Kuan.

Circles and flags are used for profit, not to find trouble for yourself. You Yanda Huayi is unhappy with Lu Kuan, which does not mean that so many people have to be consistent with you.

In the final analysis, it is a matter of interest.

"Xue'er? Why don't you let the flight attendant pour some water for Zhao Laoshi, Teacher Sun, and Director Lu? Let the cards be played by Yifei."

"Okay." Bai Xue got up obediently. Now she is a junior in the musical class of the Acting Department of the Central Academy of Drama.

Little Liu on the side waved her hand: "No, no, I don't know how to play cards, I'd better read a book."

"Sister Bai Xue, you continue."

Zhao Benshan glanced at the brown cover in Liu Yifei's hand: "Mom, how big are you to read *Dragon Slayer*? Are you going to make a revolution?"

Everyone was stunned, Liu Xiaoli was also speechless, not knowing what evil this girl had hit.

"She doesn't understand, look at it, Zhao Laoshi."

Liu Yifei smiled: "Learning to improve wisdom, fighting against bad elements!"

The bad element did not look up and sorted the cards, and did not pay attention to this hexagram.

Seemingly expressionless, but actually panicked.

Young people don't read *Water Margin*, old people don't read *Three Kingdoms*. It's only 18 years old and started reading *Dragon Slayer*. This is not a good seedling!

Chen Yufan wanted to let his little girlfriend show her face in front of Lu Kuan, which was also the main purpose of bringing her together this time.

Bai Xue is a human spirit, and has been actively feeding cards to show favor.

She knows that compared to her boyfriend who is mixed in the music circle, this one is the existence that can help her raise her coffee without effort.

His right to speak in the domestic film industry is far from comparable to that Beijing circle play that Chen Yufan just took her into.

In 2004, Ye Jing spent more than three years mixing Wang Shuo's *Playing is Heartbeat*, *Rubber Man*, and *Animal Fierce* together to create *Days Related to Youth*.

The TV series hit the slogan of the second part of *Blood Color*, but it didn't turn up any waves.

The actors in this crew at that time were not all big names, but the subsequent development of the protagonists was good, such as Tong Dawei, Wen Zhang, Bai Baihe.

Tong Dawei doesn't need to say more. Although his background is ordinary, he went out of the circle by relying on the "behind" noble, and his career was smooth, which can be regarded as an evergreen tree.

Wen Zhang married "Commander Ma" who was eight years older. Why is it called marriage, because of the word Commander.

Commander Ma is a popular person in the circle, very good at things, and proficient in threading needles.

Wen Zhang's first out-of-circle *Snow Leopard*, mentioned before, was produced by Zhang Ruoyun's father, but the director Du Yuming is Commander Ma's old friend;

The directors of the two realistic themes *Dwelling Narrowness* and *Naked Marriage Era* are Ma Yili's iron-blooded male girlfriend, Teng Huatao, who is now pulled by Yanda Huayi to film *Xian 3*.

Including *Love is Not Blind* and *Little Dad* in the future, they are all walking Teng Huatao's relationship.

Wen Zhang is like this, and Bai Baihe is also like this.

Chen Yufan to Bai Baihe is Ma Yili to Wen Zhang.

Bai Baihe, like Bingbing, is a smart and transparent Qingdao girl.

As early as the National Day of 2000, Bai Baihe, who was still studying at the Dance Academy, auditioned for Zhang Yimou's *Happy Times* and competed with Dong Jie.

Old Zhao, who is playing cards together now, is also one of the protagonists.

Zhang Yimou felt that her conditions were good and suggested that she go to the Central Academy of Drama or Beijing Film Academy. Bai Baihe listened and entered the drama higher education institution in Dongmianhua Hutong in 2002.

At the end of 2004 and the beginning of 2005, Bai Xue met Chen Yufan and entered the crew *Youth*, and then the two fell in love.

Chen Yufan's recommendation is one reason, and her own conditions are also an important factor. Ye Jing took a fancy to her for two reasons:

First, she looks like a small version of Xu Jinglei;

Second, she is an artist of Ye Jing's friend Kwan Kam-pang's company.

Kwan Kam-pang is a famous Hong Kong director. Mei Yanfang's *Rouge* and Hu Jun and Liu Ye's *Lan Yu* are his works.

If there is no accident, after *Youth* is finished, Chen Yufan will take Bai Xue to celebrate his mother's 60th birthday next year, 2006, and get married and have children the following year.

After Bai Xue finished her confinement and prepared to make a comeback, Chen Yufan tried his best.

First, he entrusted his good friend Sun Nan to let her appear in the Beijing circle director Zhao Baogang's *My Youth Who Decides*, acting as a match for Wang Luodan, and put his wife into the hands of Wang Jinhua who had left Yanda Huayi.

The second thing is to change the name.

Since then, Bai Xue has become Bai Baihe, grabbing high-quality resources as a family member of a circle, and began to be popular.

Bai Xue called the flight attendant to serve the star big names, Chen Yufan winked at Sun Nan, and the latter understood in seconds.

"Director Lu, I heard that *Tangshan Earthquake* is about to start casting?"

"Ah, yes, it's basically decided."

"Ah?" Chen Yufan was stunned, and the little girlfriend opposite looked sad.

Hu Huanquan helped: "Director Lu, actually Bai Xue is also very excellent. If it is convenient, see if there is a role suitable for her."

"It doesn't matter if there are lines, just let her go to exercise, show her face or something."

President Lu looked up and looked at her up and down leisurely.

It is not too bright and beautiful, and it is still no problem to play a commoner fleeing in an earthquake.

Unlike Liu Yifei, who has to be painted ugly to lower the standard to ordinary people.

A favor along the way, Lu Kuan is too lazy to talk nonsense.

People are social animals, and the Beijing circle is not a piece of iron. At least Old Han has been bundled with himself by interests.

Including Zhang Jizhong who is already in the compilation, and the human spirit Zhang Guoli, they are all objects that can play a role at key nodes.

"Bai Xue, right? Practice Tangshan dialect, go to the crew for audition after going back, and have lines if you speak well."

"Several, is this arrangement okay?"

Chen Yufan didn't play cards anymore, and held President Lu's hand with joy: "Thank you, thank you!"

Turned to Zhao Benshan again: "Oh, Zhao Laoshi, thank you for organizing our mainland ball friends to move, otherwise how can we know Director Lu."

"I think this activity should be held frequently in the future!"

Zhao Benshan smiled, thinking that it was a wedding dress for your Chen Yufan today.

Liu Xiaoli watched coldly from the side, feeling that Lu Kuan's power in the entertainment industry is so great that he can handle many people's future at every turn.

Landing at Kai Tak Airport, although passing through the VIP channel for boarding and leaving through the business class, fans and entertainment reporters who found out the news in advance had already waited for the rabbit.

Most of them were for Liu Yifei, and a small part were Lu Kuan's fans.

The works of the other three singers and Grandpa Benshan are not particularly large in Hong Kong, especially in the northern context, the Hong Kong and Taiwan audiences are not too cold.

"Xixi! We like you very much, everything is smooth!"

"Fairy sister, hope you have a good time in Hong Kong!"

In 2005, Liu Yifei's fans accumulated by *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*, *The Story of a Noble Family*, etc., plus the explosion of *Chinese Paladin*, reached a phased peak in popularity across the country.

36 personal websites, 117 forums, more than 17,000 penguin groups...

Bai Xue looked at her walking "hard" all the way with envy. Two assistants and Afei guarded Little Liu in the middle.

Signing, taking pictures, receiving gifts, Afei and Yang Siwei's arms were a bit unable to hold.

Of course, Hong Kong specialty paparazzi are indispensable.

"Yifei, are you dating Kuanzai?"

"Yifei, there are so many scandals with Kuanzai recently, are you on the road?"

Hong Kong paparazzi have always been unscrupulous, what Chef Xie "squeezes", Xiong Dailin "slaughters the city"...

This "on the road" is obviously pointing to something.

Yang Siwei glared: "Be careful when speaking?"

Little Liu pursed her lips and smiled without speaking, watching the group waiting for herself at the end, signed patiently and walked over.

She poked Lu Kuan's arm: "Lu Kuan, are you a little envious? I have so many fans?"

"That's for sure!"

"This is not a fan, it's a movie ticket! It's money!"

"Cut, you washing machine don't deserve to have fans!"

President Lu looked at her with a smile: "It's okay, I have licking dogs."

Licking dogs have fans, isn't that his fan?

Little Liu doesn't understand what licking dog means, otherwise she would have given him an iron elbow if she knew this was implying herself.

Hong Kong side sent Li Shoucheng to entertain, inviting charity stars and football players from both places to his Repulse Bay mansion.

Watching his daughter and Lu Kuan leave in the same car, Yang Siwei and Liu Xiaoli returned to the hotel first.

She is less and less suitable for such occasions. She is almost an adult. Where is the old mother following her step by step when attending activities.

"Aunt Liu, why are you like life and death with Xixi, people can't see the taillights of the car!"

Yang Siwei looked at Liu Xiaoli amusedly, not knowing where her reluctant emotion came from.

Liu Yifei is becoming more and more independent, and Liu Xiaoli inevitably feels a bit lost, a happy loss.

"Hey, it's almost eighteen, it's time to leave parents."

She turned to Yang Siwei: "Siwei, you are studying at Communication University of China, will your parents in Nanchang miss you very much?"

"No, I haven't come to see me for three years in college." Yang Siwei graduated early last year and is now a full-time studio general manager.

"Then you don't miss them?"

"No, the outside world is so big and wonderful!"

Liu Xiaoli's sense of loss is even worse. I am afraid Xixi thinks so too?

Guessed right, your good daughter is smiling at Lu Kuan in the car!

"Lu Kuan, there seems to be a car following us behind."

"Paparazzi, don't worry about it."

Lu Kuan flipped through the *East Weekly* in his hand, feeling the freedom of the press on such a large scale. Fortunately, he didn't live in Hong Kong, otherwise his underpants would be stripped off.

Little Liu leaned over to look at the semi-naked photo of a female star on the magazine and was stunned: "The reporters and media here are so wild."

"That is, it's better in the mainland, with a sense of security."

"Hehe, it's Blog Network that gave you a sense of security, right?"

Lu Kuan pointed to a hidden camera in the elevator on *East Weekly*: "See, in Hong Kong, it's useless for you to disguise yourself."

Hong Kong paparazzi skills are full. Like *East Weekly* and *Next Magazine*, they have a group of senior entertainment reporters. They can see a license plate on the road and know which star's car it is.

"They know by heart where you like to eat, shop, and see a doctor for pets."

"And they will buy off the doctors, fitness coaches, crew makeup artists you often visit, including the staff of the airlines you often fly."

Wang Fei has an ash-level paparazzi who has been following her for many years.

This paparazzi once boasted that even if Wang Fei returned to BJ, she could still be under his control.

Her driver took the car from the garage, and the community security would call to report, and arrived at her door to start following before departure.

Every time the paparazzi came to Beijing, the first thing was to send a bonus to the security guard in advance.

Little Liu was stunned: "Fortunately, you don't come to Hong Kong often, otherwise it's not a washing machine, it's a cement mixer."

"Everything dirty is mixed together!"

Maybe she felt funny after saying it, covering her mouth and laughing.

Lu Kuan glanced at her helplessly: "Don't laugh, the teeth will be exposed."

Answering him was a heavy punch.

The two got off the car at the Repulse Bay mansion. Huo Wenxi greeted at the door: "Lu Sheng, why are you rubbing your arm? Where is it uncomfortable?"

"Oh, it's okay, just hit the car door."

The initiator Liu Yifei greeted Huo Wenxi and walked inside gracefully.

"Sister Mei!"

Mei Yanfang smiled and hugged her, holding her hand and nagging for a long time. In fact, the two had just separated in Chengdu not long ago.

"Younger brother, why are you covering your arm?"

Why is it that the pot is not opened?

"Oh, Little Liu fell asleep on me in the car. Her head is too big and she was numbed."

Mei Yanfang laughed at him for talking nonsense.

Liu Yifei's face turned cold, staring at Lu Kuan's healthy right arm, and the threat was self-evident.

Li Shoucheng walked over with Jackie Chan.

"Lu Sheng, haven't you come to see me old man for a long time?"

"Haha, it's my rudeness, I must bother you more in the future!"

He turned to the kung fu superstar again; "Jackie Chan, long time no see!"

"Oh, I heard that Li Boss invited you to direct *The Myth*, and I was very excited. I didn't expect it to be empty joy."

Looking around after saying this: "Tang Jili is not there, right? It's fine if he is not there."

"Hahaha!"

"Have you set the premiere date?"

*The Myth* is a fantasy action blockbuster produced by Jackie Chan, Emperor, and China Film, and also ate the heat of the Korean wave, inviting Kim Hee-sun to play Princess Yushu.

"Around September, please come to support then."

"No problem, must arrive."

Jackie Chan turned to Little Liu, whose eyebrows were gathered: "Yifei, you have grown up very fast in the past two years. Director Yuen Woo-ping also praised you with me."

"Say your Baguazhang is very good and beautiful, and you will be the first fighting woman in Chinese language in a few years."

Good, good, good, the third time, President Lu touched his arm that was still sour again.

Jackie Chan, don't talk too much. Don't I know whether her boxing is good or not?

"Thank you Jackie Chan, I will continue to work hard."

Several people were talking, but a rich family son wearing gold-rimmed glasses kept staring at Liu Yifei.

Are there such girls with temperament in the mainland?

"President Li, the one looking at us?" President Lu felt a bit unhappy in his heart.

The man wearing gold-rimmed glasses had no embarrassment of being discovered, nodded slightly and walked over.

"Chairman Li, Jackie, this is... Director Lu, right?"

Li Shoucheng smiled: "You don't like watching his movies? Don't you recognize the real person?"

"Director Lu, this is President Cheng Guoqiang, the tycoon of our Hong Kong entertainment circle."

President Lu saw clearly which Buddha this was after walking close, and it was indeed a Buddha.

The famous "Shell King" in Hong Kong!

Born in a rich second generation, he has a deep relationship with Huang Gua.

The one who earned the most money was because of a mess in the financial field, and the fame was because of the scandals entangled with various female stars such as Guo Xianni.

Speaking of which, this is an executioner in the Hong Kong stock market.

Cheng Guoqiang classic battle:

In 1991, Huang Gua injected 20 million Hong Kong dollars into his construction company. He borrowed this money to invest in a Canadian real estate company that was about to go bankrupt, and sold it for 1.5 billion Canadian dollars in 2001;

In April 2006, Jin Xing Trading under Cheng Guoqiang also followed suit, buying and blowing, and then sold the disc production company Memorex, cashing out 1.1 billion Hong Kong dollars, cutting a wave of leeks.

Several people said hello and left one after another. Li Shoucheng pulled Lu Kuan and Jackie Chan to the side to talk. President Lu let Little Liu find Mei Yanfang. 【273】 Liu Yifei pouted, knowing that he was going to socialize, and went to the cold meal area to stroll around in boredom.

Liu Yifei curled her lip; knowing he had to socialize, she wandered off to the cold buffet area, feeling bored.

"Ms. Liu, hello?"

The little girl looked back, it was Cheng Guoqiang who just said hello to several people.

"Hello."

Don't hit the smiling person with your hand, Little Liu responded with a smile, preparing to find an excuse to find Mei Yanfang or Tony Leung.

His eyes were too unscrupulous just now, which was disgusting.

"Ms. Liu, the fresh fish saffron sauce salad made by President Li's chef is good, very suitable for girls like you who pay attention to figure."

"If you don't understand, why don't I help you match one?"

Cheng Guoqiang looked at the mainland female star who was as delicate as a rose in front of him with expectation, only feeling that the person is more beautiful than the flower is not a false statement, and the possessiveness exploded in an instant.

The specification of today's cold meal system is not low. It is a chef invited from Caprice, a top Western restaurant in Hong Kong. The side dishes of the salad must be selected by yourself.

For example, what kind of low-gluten salad dressing should be chosen for the sauce, which green leafy vegetables are suitable for lemon, olive or oil vinegar juice, all have attention.

Including the fresh fish with saffron sauce, black truffle sauce he just mentioned, all have attention.

Mainland female stars usually haven't participated in any high-end cocktail parties. This Liu Yifei shouldn't understand these, right?

This trick, Young Master Cheng has been tried and tested.

Liu Yifei was looking around, and glanced at him awkwardly when she heard the words.

"No, thank you."

"Don't be polite, Ms. Liu, gentlemen should serve beauties."

Little Liu looked at him with a smile for a few seconds.

"Then like this, you help me take some sturgeon caviar with white truffle, I also want a cup of Courvoisier before 80 years."

Cheng Guoqiang was stunned.

Sturgeon caviar is 24,000 pounds per kilogram, which is about 220,000 yuan.

White truffle is rarer than black truffle, known as "black ore." Wild white truffles are only found in the Balkans and Croatia in Italy.

Last year, Hong Kong and Macau businessmen spent 330,000 US dollars to photograph 1.5kg of Italian white truffles, which was passed down as a beautiful talk among old gluttons.

He certainly knows Courvoisier, Napoleon Cognac.

But is it a bit nonsense before 80 years? Is this mainland female star pretending to understand?

He looked up again, and the beauty in front of him was wearing a bubble sleeve ice gray blue thin yarn dress, layered Italian gold foil mesh yarn and handmade embroidery intertwined, and then matched with her snow-white skin...

It is like the new moon clear, the flower tree pile snow.

Liu Yifei just stood there looking at him, with unyielding pride and confidence. 【267-

This came from her perspective and experience; these top-tier luxury delicacies she had mentioned were things she had seen while accompanying Lu Kuan during his Oscar PR campaign in North America.

Although she didn't feel there was anything to show off about, it was extremely effective for shutting the mouths of such snobs.

Learning from the enemy's strengths to defeat the enemy.

Cheng Guoqiang was somewhat displeased.

In his eyes, why should a female star have such pride in front of him?

"Miss Liu, you aren't joking, are you? These things can't be eaten today. If you want to eat them, I'll treat you separately next time if you'll do me the honor."

"And the Courvoisier, it's generally from after 1985. Miss Liu must have remembered incorrectly, right? Hehe."

His uncertain tone immediately invited Liu Yifei's subtle mockery: "No, it's from before the 80s, and it's 1880, not 1980."

Cheng Guoqiang's family originally ran a construction contracting business; he could be considered a nouveau riche of the last few years and didn't yet understand so much about the luxury spending of high society.

His expression turned somewhat gloomy: "Miss Liu, you aren't playing tricks on me, are you?"

Liu Yifei covered her mouth and chuckled, revealing two subtle dimples: "How could that be?"

"At the beginning of the year, we had dinner with the Oscar PR team, and a friend of Lionsgate boss Gusta took us to his estate."

"It's that Coral Castle in Los Angeles; I don't know if you've heard of it."

"The owner of the castle likes to collect antique wines. There's 1805 Sazerac de Forge, 1824 Courvoisier, 1865 Rouyer, but the most precious is a bottle of 1788 brandy."

"Counting it up, it's just one year later than the French Revolution!"

Little Liu tapped her smooth forehead: "Oh! That's right, Lu Kuan likes to drink, and he spent over a million US dollars buying some recent-era Napoleon Cognac."

"If you haven't had it, I'll treat you next time you go to Beiping."

The mix of French, English, and Chinese antique wine names left the Shell King dizzy, but the young girl's beautiful French pronunciation made it impossible for him to harbor any suspicion.

His confident smile was a bit stiff: "Good, then I'll bother you next time I go to Beiping, hehe."

Liu Yifei nodded with a smile, curled her lip, and turned around to find something to eat.

Looking at these cold, dead things in front of her, she missed that hot, state-banquet-style Chinese meal at the Xiyiji Sihe Academy.

Cheng Guoqiang walked around a few times, still not feeling very comfortable, his gaze scanning around, wanting to find Lu Kuan, whom the mainland girl kept mentioning, to have a chat.

Maybe he could let him have some?

"Director Lu, I hear you like to drink too?"

Boss Lu turned around; it was that fly from just a moment ago.

"Ah, it's alright."

"Oh, next time I go to Beiping, could I taste the antique wine you bought at the Coral Castle?"

Cheng Guoqiang probed, clearly seeing the expression of the Lu Kuan opposite him freeze, only for his hope to be dashed quickly.

"Hmm, easy to say, easy to say, hehe."

Boss Lu felt suspicious deep down, but he brushed it off with his mouth and walked away after clinking glasses with a few people.

In a secluded spot, Little Liu was daintily stuffing lettuce into her mouth, finding it tasteless as wax.

"Are you done socializing?"

Seeing him walk over, Liu Yifei was overjoyed: "How about we go to the night market to eat something tonight? I really can't get used to these raw, cold things."

"What were you talking about standing with that gold-rimmed glasses guy just now?"

The young girl's focus clearly shifted: "Eh, you've been watching me the whole time? Hehe."

"Didn't say anything, just chatting."

"He asked me what my antique wine was."

Liu Yifei opened her eyes wide: "This person is so interesting, he even went to probe the truth?"

She recounted the conversation from just a moment ago.

"It's over, I've embarrassed myself now. I just wanted to bluff him; he's like a fly."

Boss Lu shook his head helplessly, took out his phone, and made an overseas call, asking Gusta to help him find the estate owner to buy some "antique wine."

"Hmm?"

"I just helped you cover for it; you're paying for this wine."

Liu Yifei said in surprise: "Really? Then we really are on the same wavelength!"

Cheng Guoqiang: On the same wavelength? That's called colluding for evil!

Xu Ke walked over with two male actors.

"Director Lu, why aren't you drinking, hiding here chatting with a young girl?"

"Hello, Director Xu." Liu Yifei greeted him; the two had met at last year's Cannes Film Festival.

Lu Kuan smiled: "Is the post-production for 'Seven Swords' done?"

"Still a bit to go. Isn't this me coming directly to you, the boss of Butian Yinghua, to urge you a bit! Hehe."

Xu Ke turned slightly: "Let me introduce you, Zhen Zidan, Wu Jin."

"Zidan is an actor in 'Seven Swords', and he and Wu Jin are partners in the 'Sha Po Lang' crew."

"Is that so? Long admired, long admired."

Lu Kuan shook hands one by one. Just as he reached the baby-faced Wu Jin, Zhen Zidan acted as if unintentionally and grabbed Boss Lu's hand: "Director Lu, I've long heard Director Yuan Heping mention you."

He then nodded very gentlemanly to Liu Yifei: "And Miss Liu, Director Yuan often praises your fight scenes."

"Finally met, please give me your guidance in the future!"

Little Liu returned a polite smile.

Wu Jin pursed his lips and stepped back to stand to the side, seemingly already accustomed to this Hong Kong actor's style, though even Liu Yifei could see his helplessness and awkwardness.

"Easy to say, easy to say, hope we have a chance to cooperate."

Boss Lu naturally had sharp eyes; he reached out to Wu Jin calmly: "We're going to be teammates tomorrow, haha, can't count on old Zhao and the others with their old arms and legs."

Wu Jin was just over thirty, Boss Lu twenty-three or twenty-four; it was the perfect age to charge onto the pitch!

Zhao Benshan can just barely guard the goal; as long as he doesn't get hurt.

Seeing Lu Kuan and his female companion sitting together, the group tactfully finished their pleasantries and wanted to leave.

"Wu Jin, let's chat about tomorrow's tactics, shall we? Hehe." Boss Lu called out to the kung fu kid who was clearly already stranded in the Hong Kong circle.

"Ah? Okay!"

The three began to chat under the complex gaze of the departing Zhen Zidan.

Wu Jin sat upright in his chair, not expecting this internationally renowned young director to be so easygoing.

"The Hong Kong celebrity team usually has training, and we..."

Wu Jin was a bit unsure of this director's soccer level. As a martial arts star, he was naturally fine in terms of physical fitness and athletic ability, and he had been playing soccer for some years.

Little Liu asked the question for him, feeling a bit puzzled: "Lu Kuan, can you actually play soccer? You were talking a big game when watching the Asian Cup last time; you aren't just all talk, are you?"

"Heh, just kidding, I'll let you see tomorrow."

Liu Yifei suddenly pointed at Wu Jin's forearm and laughed: "Why are you also rubbing your arm?"

That "also" was used well; it was the fourth time tonight.

Wu Jin said casually: "Got a little hurt filming 'Sha Po Lang' last week, nothing major."

He said it lightly, but Lu Kuan knew the bitterness within.

Wu Jin was Manchu, born into a martial arts family, and at 21, he took on 'Kung Fu Kid' and embarked on the path of a martial arts actor.

The 1997 'Taiji Master' broke out, and the 1999 'Xiao Li Fei Dao' was also a hit, but after entering the new millennium, martial arts dramas cooled down, and he began to try action films.

They say choice is more important than effort; his going to Hong Kong around 2002 to seek opportunities was completely against historical trends—it was like joining the Nationalist army in '49.

In the aforementioned 'Sha Po Lang', he and Zhen Zidan had an alley fight.

To pursue a realistic fighting effect, they didn't use choreographed moves, and he had four sticks broken on the same spot on his arm, but in the final cut, he only had a few minutes of screen time and very few lines.

"Leave a number; I'll look for you if there's a suitable role in the future."

Lu Kuan didn't engage in excessive pleasantries, and his approachable attitude made Wu Jin particularly grateful.

Originally, he felt that just getting a glimpse and knowing each other would be quite good.

"By the way, the director of 'Sha Po Lang' is Ye Weixin, right?"

"Yes."

Boss Lu nodded with a smile and then said something surprising: "Can you do Wing Chun?"

"Wing Chun?"

"Hmm."

Wu Jin didn't understand his meaning and answered truthfully: "Wing Chun is a Southern style of martial arts, different in style from the martial arts routines I learned before."

Liu Yifei interjected: "Wing Chun is short-range, it's a style for close-quarters combat, different from Northern martial arts, but I've seen Director Yuan Heping demonstrate it."

In 'Yiyu', her martial arts moves were primarily Baji Quan, mixed with other beautiful Southern routines, such as the close-quarters grappling in the opening car chase scene.

Asking about Wing Chun was enough to leave Wu Jin scratching his head, but he didn't expect what he said next to be even more surprising.

"If you have time, you can practice it first and get a feel for it. Maybe there's a movie later that could use it."

Boss Lu left his number and left with Liu Yifei, leaving only a thoughtful Wu Jin behind.
