Before leaving Hong Kong and returning to the mainland, Li Qing suddenly received an invitation letter, which invited Li Qing to participate in the 10th anniversary celebration of the Hong Kong Film Industry Association and sincerely invited Li Qing to serve as the honorary advisor of the Hong Kong Film Industry Association.
Xu Wen, Liu Qin and others were not there, so Li Qing had to ask Xue Yan: "What does the Hong Kong Film Industry Association do?"
Xue Yan had obviously done her homework and answered immediately: "It is a group formed voluntarily by film practitioners to protect and promote the rights and welfare of film practitioners..."
Following Xue Yan's explanation, Li Qing gradually understood.
To put it simply, this is a small gang formed by filmmakers.
In some special matters, the Film Association can represent a member whose "personal rights or other film rights have been infringed" and file legal proceedings against the infringing party.
or negotiate with national or other governments on behalf of members of the film industry.
After all, there is strength in numbers. In the ten-year wave of development, the influence of the Film Association has become increasingly huge. It has received great attention from the copyright offices of various governments and has been recognized by many governments around the world.
Many mainland films can only be released in other countries through the recommendation of film associations.
In terms of copyright protection and governance contributions, the Film Association has also performed extremely well. In recent years, it has effectively cracked down on the existence of many pirates and protected the rights and interests of film practitioners.
At the same time, the association is also the only film industry group in Hong Kong that provides daily box office reports.
The inviter is Chung Han-kun, chairman of the Hong Kong Film Producers Association, chairman of the Hong Kong Film Industry Association, and chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards Association.
No matter which one of these three titles is chosen, all filmmakers will look up to them.
Li Qing was a little surprised by the other party's strong background: "Do you want me to serve as the honorary advisor of the Film Association?"
"Honorary advisor, it sounds very cool, but in fact it has no rights. You just have a name."
Xue Yan chuckled and said: "But if you have time, you can participate. After all, it was Zhong Hankun who personally invited it. Many famous Hong Kong filmmakers will definitely be present."
Li Qing nodded lightly. During this period of time before the year, in addition to the announcement of "Journey to the West", he also had to prepare for his second new album. This was something he had promised fans a month ago. At that time, it was announced by the domestic
The major media outlets are reporting frantically, and it can be said that the news is imminent and must be released.
Apart from these two things, other things are just trivial matters, and there is definitely enough time.
As soon as he thought about this, Li Qing decided to give Zhong Hanshu face and accepted the invitation from the Hong Kong Film Industry Association.
The next morning, he went to the address marked on the invitation letter, Zhong's Tea House.
Chung's Teahouse is Chung Hankun's property and is also the location where the Film Industry Association holds annual celebrations. Hong Kong people have the habit of having morning tea. Drinking tea and snacks is a must-have breakfast, so there are many teahouses in Hong Kong.
Chung's Tea House is the leading tea house in Hong Kong in terms of scale, revenue and influence. It has three floors. Although the decoration is simple, even simple, there are still a lot of people coming to have tea every day.
Continuously.
But today, due to the 10th anniversary celebration of the Film Industry Association, Zhong's Tea House put up a sign saying it was closed early.
However, Zhong's Tea House, which is closed today, is more lively than ever.
Early in the morning, Hong Kong's major media people gathered here non-stop. Although most people did not have invitation letters, as long as they could occupy a small space outside the tea house, they were satisfied with the treatment.
Because today, countless film directors and actors from across the Taiwan Strait and three places will come to Chung's Teahouse to participate in the Film Industry Association's 10th anniversary celebration.
As long as the invitation letter is sent out, no one in the domestic entertainment circle would dare to refuse the favor of Hong Kong film industry boss Zhong Hankun.
Therefore, the media people squatted around the teahouse early just to take pictures of the famous actors who came to the scene.
The teahouse party will start at ten o'clock and end at two o'clock in the afternoon. During this period, the teahouse will prepare a rich lunch for the film industry professionals present.
And starting from eight o'clock, famous actors came to the scene.
Every actor's arrival has killed countless films.
In just one hour, there were more than 40 famous film actors and directors present, each of whom was a powerful figure in the domestic film industry.
At nine-ten, when a black nanny car drove slowly from a distance, everyone held their breath.
Even the fans of the actors who had received the news and watched from all directions were still at this moment, but at the same time, each of them was already flushed with excitement.
Black nanny cars are not uncommon, but what is rare is the license plate number of the nanny car.
The license plate number of this nanny car may not have attracted much attention in the past, but in the past two days, it has been exposed countless times by major entertainment news in Hong Kong.
There are even people searching for traces of this car on the streets!
"Wow, this is... a very familiar license plate number!"
"Oh my god, Li Qing is here too!"
"'Westward Journey' has just finished filming, doesn't he even take a break? How can he have time to attend the teahouse party?"
"Haha, who dares to refuse Zhong Hankun's invitation?"
"We're here, the car has stopped, please open the door quickly..."
"Everyone, get ready to take photos!"
When the black nanny car parked in front of Zhong's Tea House, the security personnel on site had already taken the initiative to stand on both sides of the car door and help open the door.
When Li Qing, who was wearing a black suit, walked out, the scene was suddenly filled with flashes of light, high and continuous, causing many people to subconsciously close their eyes in an instant.
However, the enthusiastic screams of the fans quickly spread throughout the nearby streets and alleys, attracting the attention of many nearby tourists.
"Lee Green! Lee Green! Lee Green!"...
…
"Passionate, so damn passionate!"
On the second floor of Zhong's Tea House, a middle-aged man sitting by the window stared at the situation downstairs and said excitedly: "Li Qing is really embarrassing to us mainlanders. When I first came here, there was no one there."
Ignore me, they just take two photos and it’s none of my business! But look at Li Qing, oh, the speed at which films are sold instantly, the popularity, the fans who keep screaming, then..."
"Okay, okay, old money, it's not like we don't have eyes, why are we making such a fuss?"
Another middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses, an elegant temperament and fair skin, laughed and cursed: "Sit down quickly, don't you think those people next to you are looking at you like an idiot?"
After hearing this, Lao Qian turned around and glanced at his colleagues from Hong Kong at the tea tables next to him. Seeing that they all looked at him with sarcastic expressions, as if they were looking at him as country bumpkins, he couldn't help but feel angry.
But he didn't dare to make trouble, so his dark face suddenly turned into a purple eggplant. After a while, he lowered his voice angrily and said: "Brother Xindao, tell me, how long will our unfair treatment continue?
"
"Not long ago, the times are developing, the country is progressing, and our mainland actors are also constantly rising..."
A plump woman wearing a cheongsam pointed at Li Qing, who was attracting all the attention downstairs, and said with a smile: "Look, isn't Li Qing the best signal?"
"But!"
Lao Qian pointed to the dining tables next to him and said angrily: "Their Hong Kong guys' snacks are overflowing with tea time and time again. What about us? It's just a pot of tea! It's still damn cold, so why are we just staring at it and drinking tea?"
"
The people at the same table looked at each other and sighed in their hearts.
Old money is upright and will say whatever comes to mind, but they cannot talk nonsense.
In this era, Hong Kong and Taiwan actors are not comparable to them in terms of net worth or influence.
When someone makes a movie, the pay can easily reach tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, and there are countless fans who pay for it.
In the same crew, it is very common for Hong Kong and Taiwan actors to join forces to suppress mainland actors, and it has even become a common practice!
But these mainland actors, even great actors such as movie kings and actresses, when filming with Hong Kong crews, the remuneration they receive is only tens of thousands of yuan at most.
Some newcomers don’t even have tens of thousands of dollars, so they can just spend a few hundred dollars casually.
For example, the cheongsam woman next to her has appeared in many literary films and is honored as the queen of literary films by the domestic film industry. The films she has participated in have won many awards at major foreign film festivals and have broken box office records. Her
The name is famous even throughout Southeast Asia.
She starred in a family ethics drama at the beginning of this year, which made her popular throughout the continent and became a household name.
However, few people outside the industry know that the salary of Jiang Meier, the queen of literary films, is not even comparable to the salary of second- and third-tier actors in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Many people who are close to Jiang Meier know that during a filming a long time ago, even though Jiang Meier was the number one actress in the crew, the gap between her and the number one actor in the crew was inevitable.
A huge horizontal ditch was demarcated.
Jiang Meier's treatment was to work on the floor with many supporting actors on the set and eat pickles and a full head.
But the other Hong Kong actors in the crew were enjoying the special dining car and eating meat every meal.
Later, Jiang Meier was so hungry that she secretly tore off the male protagonist's food stamps and exchanged them for rice. Later, Jiang Meier really wanted to eat braised pork and was so greedy that she started filming the highlight of the scene.
At that time, he suddenly started crying and going on strike, which aroused the indignation of many mainland actors.
In order to calm the matter, the director quickly found someone to get Jiang Meier red pork belly, and asked the crew on the spot to allow Jiang Meier to eat the same lunch box as the Hong Kong actors.
But Jiang Meier was not in the mood to eat it, and still refused to give in, asking the crew to prepare the same lunch box for all mainland actors.
It was at a critical stage of film shooting, and the film crew and investors agreed to Jiang Meier's request before they had no choice but to do so.
This shows the gap in identity and status between Hong Kong and Taiwan actors and mainland actors.
What many people didn't expect was that after the filming of the movie, Jiang Meier fell into the endless "big name strike" and numerous "sex scandals" with the cast and crew.
This time, Jiang Meier was imprisoned and Mingsheng suffered a huge blow.
From then on, Jiang Meier gradually restrained her sense of justice and became more and more reticent when encountering injustices.
The two actors sitting at the same table as Jiang Meier are Qian Xuequan and Chen Xindao. Both of them are first-line actors in the mainland. However, the treatment they receive is still impossible to compare with that of Hong Kong actors.
For example, now, all the temporary meals in the teahouse are served to one table after another, but only the scattered mainland actors like them still have tea that is gradually cooling down on their tables.
So what if I ask the waiter for more tea?
Some things are just self-deception, they are not really thirsty.
The hustle and bustle in front of Zhong's Tea House obviously attracted the attention of many people inside the tea house. Many people were whispering to each other and talking about it.
However, Zhong Hanshu, the speaker of the film industry association, was already waiting in front of the door on the first floor. Beside him, he was also a very important figure in the Hong Kong film industry. Several people were smiling and talking in low voices.
, while waiting for Li Qing to finish his interview with the media and walk into the teahouse.
Li Qing was no longer a fledgling artist. Faced with the screams of countless media and fans, he still maintained a calm and calm smile. Under the escort of on-site security personnel, he walked through the corridor and arrived at the teahouse.
"Welcome, welcome!"
When Zhong Hanshu saw Li Qing, he immediately laughed three times and walked forward to greet Li Qing: "Li Sheng, is this the first time we've met? Haha, you are such a promising young man and so heroic. It's better to be famous than to meet him."
, please come in quickly."
Li Qing checked the information about Zhong Hanshu in advance and smiled when he heard this: "Mr. Zhong, I took the liberty to come here. I don't have anything to prepare. This is a poetry book written by Miss Zhou Sui, the president of our company. I have always kept it preciously. I hope
You like it."
Xue Yan, who was following Li Qing, quickly handed over the gift he had prepared.
Zhong Hanshu was in his early sixties, but he was still strong and healthy. After laughing loudly, he said with a loud voice: "I have heard that Miss Zhou comes from the world of calligraphy. It is definitely a blessing for Zhong to get Miss Zhou's handwriting.
Haha, I will have this painting and calligraphy framed right now, and it will always be hung in the most conspicuous place in my teahouse."
Immediately, Zhong Hanshu ordered the service staff to find and frame it.
When the scroll was unfolded, a set of running script that was strong and natural, graceful yet elegant, subtle yet bold, appeared in front of everyone.
"The pen moves like a dragon and a snake, floats like floating clouds, and is as sharp as a frightening dragon!"
"Good words, good words!"
"You are worthy of being a disciple of the Zhou family! The descendants of Mr. Lindong are worthy of their reputation!"
At this time, many people at the scene were full of praise. However, after seeing the content written in this copybook, the originally lively atmosphere at the scene suddenly fell into a mysterious silence.
