In the Wu family's mansion, Wu Shuqing asked her cousin curiously.
At the end of dinner tonight, when the two sisters Wu Shuqing and Wu Shuhan were having their daily chat, Wu Shuhan told Wu Shuqing about her encounter with the film director.
"Yes, he said his name is Peter Lai. He used to make films at Shaw Brothers, but now he plans to set up his own film company and make movies!"
Wu Shuhan told Wu Shuqing briefly and clearly what Li Peter had told him.
Wu Shuqing raised her eyebrows slightly after hearing this. She was not that familiar with the film industry, and the directors she knew were limited to a few famous directors. She did not know Li Peter's name.
Wu Shuhan asked Wu Shuqing with some curiosity, "Sister, are there many situations like this in Xiangjiang? Someone asks you to film a movie when you walk on the street?"
Wu Shuqing shook his head and said, "There shouldn't be many, but there are indeed such examples. I heard from my friends before that every film company has its own talent scouts. If they meet someone with the right image, they will also report to them."
They sent out invitations.
By the way, the former female star Bai Xiaoman in Xiangjiang was discovered by the great director Li Hanxiang on the street."
This is one of the few film industry news that Wu Shuqing knows.
"So it's like this. When I was in my hometown, I watched a movie, but I didn't expect that the movie director would even take a liking to it now!"
Wu Shuhan thinks this is a magical thing.
Wu Shuqing said earnestly, "Little sister, since you don't want to work in your family's company and want to do something on your own, we have no objection, but the film industry is quite chaotic, and there are also many talent scouts and directors.
Looking for people to be actors on the street, but at the same time, there are also many bad people who use this method to deceive many girls.
So you still have to seriously consider this matter!”
At that coffee shop, Wu Shuqing knew what her cousin was thinking. After returning home, even though she tried to persuade her many times, Wu Shuhan still had the same idea. There were too many things that bothered Wu Zhande's family. If Wu Zhande could even arrange work,
Yes, this will make Wu Shuhan feel particularly useless.
"Sister, please let me go out for a while first. If I really feel that I have this ability, then you can ask me to go to the company to help you. Otherwise, I'm really worried about when and where to say it.
Wrong words will have a bad impact on the company."
This is what Wu Shuhan said to Wu Shuqing at that time.
Although Wu Shuhan wanted to prove that she could live in Xiangjiang, she was not a fool. Now that she heard what Wu Shuqing said, she also answered seriously.
"Sister, don't worry. Although I'm still not familiar with Xiangjiang, I'm not a fool. In fact, when I saw Peter Li today, I felt that he was not as powerful as I said."
Wu Shuqing smiled and asked, "Why do you think so?"
Wu Shuhan analyzed, "Although I don't know what the film industry in Hong Kong is like specifically, I think if a person can be successful in an industry, then this person should be a very confident person."
Wu Shuqing couldn't help but nod after hearing this. Successful people are supported by countless successful things. In this process, even people who are not confident will definitely become more confident as they succeed again and again.
of.
"But the Peter Lai I met today, besides telling me a few words about the content of the movie script he created, he kept talking about how successful he was in the film industry in Hong Kong. I think this is inconsistent with
The standard for a successful person, a truly successful person, is that he does not need to talk so much about his success.
Because even if they don't talk about it, their things have already happened. Just like Chu Huan, he has been so successful, but in the three times we met, I have never seen him take the initiative to talk about what he did before, and his uncle.
Also, when educating us, they talk about the hardships of starting a business, not the successful results."
Listening to Wu Shuhan's description, Wu Shuqing couldn't help but praise his little sister for seeing things clearly. But when Wu Shuhan mentioned Chu Huan again, she felt a headache.
Although she knew that there was nothing between Chu Huan and her little sister, the constant mention of it inevitably left an impression in her heart.
this is not good!
"So, you don't believe that Peter Li?"
Wu Shuqing asked directly.
Wu Shuhan nodded first, then shook his head, and said with a wry smile, "The disbelief must be the majority, but you can't judge whether a person is really successful just because of my judgment, and I feel that no matter what you do,
Everything should have some difficulties, and my current judgment on Peter Li may be the difficulty I need to face.
If I give up on something because of some difficulties, I may not be able to do anything in the future.
So I still want to give it a try, and after a few more contacts, maybe I will be able to completely judge who this person is!"
Wu Shuqing rubbed Wu Shuhan's head, "My little sister is still very smart, but Xiangjiang is still quite chaotic. The best explanation is what happened on Nathan Road before, so you must
Be careful, you know?”
Thinking of what happened that day, Wu Shuhan couldn't help but remember Yu Ji's words, "Fortunately, Chu Huan showed up that day."
Wu Shuqing ""
Wu Shuhan didn't notice Wu Shuqing's expression and said with a smile, "But don't worry, eldest sister, I will remember this time. If Peter Li is really a bad guy, I will call him uncle. I think that
Peter Li will definitely be scared!"
Silly sister, do you think your father is Chu Huan?
But in the end Wu Shuqing didn't say anything else. Although he was not familiar with the film industry in Hong Kong, he could still get some information by asking friends.
After thinking about it, Wu Shuqing decided to ask a friend tomorrow if Peter Li was a well-known director.
The next day!
Li Peter was sleeping, and then he heard the sound of someone banging on the door of his room. Li Peter, who was lying on the bed, was frightened. Then he didn't care that he was only wearing a pair of shorts, and wanted to jump downstairs. The person letting Guili go now was really too much.
He's so cruel that he cuts off his fingers at every turn. Peter Li doesn't want to become the director of Nine Fingers in the future.
But just when Peter Li made a move, Lao Li's voice came from the door.
"Peter, Peter, open the door!"
Peter Li cursed unhappily, and then went to open the door.
"What the hell are you doing? Don't you know that people who do code work at night?"
Lao Li didn't care about Li Peter's attitude, but said angrily, "Something happened, something big happened!"
Li Peter was stunned for a moment and said, "What? Your wife, who has been away for five years, comes back with a three-year-old child and says that you are the child's biological father?"
"Fart!" After Lao Li cursed, he directly slapped the newspaper in his hand into Peter Li's arms and said, "You'd better take a look quickly!"
After saying that, he walked into Peter Li's room, opened the refrigerator, took out a can of beer, and drank it.
Li Peter did not pay attention to Lao Li's behavior, but began to look at the "True Report" in his hand.
"Well, this Chu Huan is really rich. He buys newspapers and buys one of the highest-selling newspapers in Xiangjiang."
"Watch the entertainment version!" Lao Li leaned on the refrigerator and preached angrily.
Peter Li found the entertainment section, and saw that there was a familiar yet unfamiliar four-panel comic on it!
I am familiar with it because when Chu Huan was having a quarrel with Oriental Daily, Sing Tao Daily and Hong Kong Economic News, such a four-frame cartoon appeared in Zhenbao. What is strange is that this happened a long time ago.
.
After gathering his thoughts, Li Peter began to read a four-frame comic, and then his expression changed.
In the first panel of the cartoon, in a dark room, a man is sitting there with his back turned under the illumination of a desk lamp, holding a pen in his hand.
There is a text next to it. This movie is garbage. I want to write it down!
The second cartoon is still the man, this time from the front, but you still can't see his front face, because the man is lying on the table and asleep, and then there is a derivative picture above the man, which is the man dreaming
When he won the Best Film Director, there was a spotlight underneath, and the picture he imagined only had the upper body of a man and the trophy, but no face!
There is also a text next to it: I am indeed the best director!
The third cartoon man finally showed his face, but he was a bald man squatting on the ground like a dog. There was a man in front of him, holding a script in his hand. The script was shaped like a bone and had three big words written on it: Feng Yue Pian!
The text next to it is Hey, come and eat!
The fourth cartoon man is lying on the bed, touching Mediterranean's head, his eyes blank.
The text next to it is another dream!
"This, this, isn't this just scolding us?"
Since Peter Li is writing a script, those who write film reviews naturally understand the content of these four-panel comics. This is a mockery of film critics like them. They have no chance to make films, so they will only hide in the dark and write some film reviews to criticize the film.
A sense of presence.
Especially during this period, film critics like them are attacking black and white images and Shaw Brothers' romantic films with all their strength.
So who is publishing this four-panel comic now?
It is possible for Shaw Brothers to produce black and white images. After all, these two companies were the ones that produced the most romantic films during this period. Of course, they were also the ones criticized the most.
Most of them were black and white images, and their boss Chu Huan had already done this kind of thing before.
Now it's just a matter of taking it out and practicing again.
Thinking of this, Peter Li was basically convinced.
“What do other people think?”
Li Peter asked Lao Li.
Lao Li leaned against the refrigerator and said angrily, "How else can we watch it? Everyone has already decided. In the next period of time, we will go all out to watch movies with stinky black and white images. Although they are only covering up movies in the Hong Kong film industry."
God, but there is nothing we can do. This time we will guide the movie fans in Hong Kong and reduce the box office of black and white movies in Hong Kong by at least 50%."
Obviously, Peter Lai can think that the person behind this incident is Black and White Video, and so can other film critics.
Now they have decided to join forces to fight the black and white images.
Hearing what Lao Li said, Peter Li immediately said with righteous indignation, "Yes, there are so many stinky black and white movies. This time we are going to show black and white movies the status of us people in the Hong Kong film industry."
Seeing that Li Peter had no objection, Lao Li said directly, "That is, whether a movie's reputation is good or bad is completely decided by us. Now that Black and White Pictures is doing this, it is seeking death and letting Shaw Brothers once again
Keep up with them!"
"People, just can't be too arrogant. If you are too arrogant, you will easily fail to recognize the reality. You even dare to provoke us. I really don't know what Fang Jianhui in the black and white image is thinking."
Peter Leipzig's quiet sermon.
"Huh, no matter what he thinks, he just thinks that he dominates the world in the Hong Kong film industry, and then he thinks that he can do whatever he wants."
"If God wants it to perish, it must first make it crazy. In my opinion, the black and white image is not far away from collapse."
"It should have closed down long ago!"
After the two of them finished talking about this matter, Lao Li couldn't help but ask as he looked at Peter Li who was as messy as a tree stand on the street.
"Peter, the protagonist of this cartoon should be you, right?"
Peter Leipzig is like a Mediterranean man. The sparse hair around him is not like a tree pond, but the one or two sparse hairs in the middle are just like a tree in the middle of the tree stand.
Li Peter's face suddenly turned red and he said angrily, "Fart, didn't you see in this cartoon that the main character doesn't have a single hair in the middle? I still have several hairs here!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lao Li suppressed his laughter and said seriously, "It seems to be true."
Peter Li stroked his hair unnaturally, and then the few remaining hairs in the middle fell out.
After the two of them agreed on everything, they went separately to contact film critics they were familiar with and prepared to count movies with bad black and white images.
afternoon!
Inside the melancholy cafe.
"Miss Wu, one day has passed. How have you considered it?"
After contacting movie reviewers whom I knew well, they agreed to start publishing reviews of several stinking black and white videos in their respective columns tomorrow.
After finishing the work, Li Peter came to the Melancholy Cafe. After he finished talking to Wu Shuhan about his affairs yesterday, he agreed on a time to meet today.
Wu Shuhan sat there, looking at Peter Li who was still so ugly after washing himself specially.
"Director Li, after I went home last night, I discussed it with my family. Everyone is very grateful to Director Li for asking me to be the heroine of your movie. However, we want to see your movie script before making a decision.
.”
Li Peter was stunned for a moment, what kind of script did he have? He just wanted to take this opportunity to sleep with Wu Shuhan.
However, Peter Li would definitely not say that at this time. He smiled and said, "No problem. How about we discuss the script at this time tomorrow?"
Wu Shuhan nodded and said, "Thank you, Director Li!"
"Miss Wu, you don't have to be so polite with me!" Peter Li said with a smile, "By the way, Miss Wu, do you know about Taiwan's Golden Donkey Award?"
After Wu Shuhan was invited by Li Peter yesterday, she did read some books about the film industry, so naturally she knew about Taiwan's Golden Donkey Award, "I know."
"My film will be submitted to the Golden Donkey Awards in the future. With such a good temperament, Miss Wu will definitely become the Best Actress at the Golden Donkey Awards in the future. By then, Shu Han, you will be the Best Actress at the Golden Donkey Awards!
"
When he said the last words, Peter Li had already changed his name to Wu Shuhan.
Wu Shuhan noticed this, but didn't say anything. If he really wanted to make a movie in the future, he and Li Peter would be considered friends, and the other party would even be his boss, just a title.
"By the way, Director Li!" Wu Shuhan was more concerned about the identity of Director Li Peter, and said, "I heard Director Li say before that you are planning to start your own film company, so if that is the case, are you planning to make the next movie?"
Are you going to participate in next year's Taiwan Golden Donkey Awards in the name of your company?"
Li Peter was stunned. When we were chatting yesterday, this Bei Gu was still a newcomer who knew nothing about the film industry. Now he actually knows so much?
"Haha, that's natural. Not only that, I can also tell Miss Wu one thing, that is, my movie has already received investment from Taiwan, so now everything is ready for the movie. All I need is Shu Han.
This is a trend!"
Taiwan’s capital?
This is a routine often used by some Hong Kong film companies, and Wu Shuhan did not have too many surprises.
Until now, she still couldn't determine whether Peter Li was a real film director.
Seeing that Wu Shuhan had already played the game and was persuaded by him, Peter Li struck while the iron was hot and said, "By the way, Shuhan, you just said you wanted to read the script, and now the script is at my home. Why don't you go home with me now and I'll let you read it."
Read the script and I will explain the plot to you."
Sister Hua was like this at the beginning. She read the script first, then talked about the plot, and finally played poker. It didn't go well at all.
Wu Shuhan showed a hint of vigilance. Last night, Wu Shuqing specifically told him that before signing the contract, he was determined not to meet Li Peter alone in a deserted place.
"I think I don't want it anymore. Why don't you stay here tomorrow at the same time? Director Li, come over with the script and I'll take a look at it then!"
Li Peter was slightly dissatisfied, why didn't this woman take the bait?
"Miss Wu, do you think you don't trust me?"
Even the title has changed.
Wu Shuhan shook his head and said, "Of course not, it just doesn't feel good. If you don't want to, Director Li, then forget it, we'll just pretend we've never met!"
After saying that, Wu Shuhan stood up and wanted to leave. For her, she really hoped to establish a foothold in Xiangjiang as soon as possible, but it did not mean that she would risk her life.
Because Wu Shuhan understood that if the result was really bad, she would still ask for help from her uncle in the end. In that case, not only would she not be able to gain a firm foothold in Hong Kong, but it would be the opposite of the independence she hoped for.
Li Peter was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Wu Shuhan to be so decisive. He quickly smiled and said, "Miss Wu, don't be angry. I'll watch it here tomorrow. Then I will explain the content of the script and the idea of the story to Miss Wu."
"
The vigilance in Wu Shuhan's heart has risen, and naturally it is impossible to trust Li Peter so much anymore, but as Wu Shuhan told Wu Shuqing last night, if you shrink back when you encounter a little difficulty, then you will not be able to succeed.
Moreover, there were so many people here. I thought that even if Peter Li wanted to do bad things, he would not be able to do bad things. So he nodded, with a smile on his face, and said, "Sorry, Director Li, thank you, Director Li!"
"Haha, Miss Wu, why are you being so polite to me? We will make a movie together in the future!" Peter Li said with a smile.
Wu Shuhan nodded.
The next day!
Peter Li got up early today, and with a messy Mediterranean head, he wandered out of his residence and went to the newsstand downstairs.
"Boss, a copy of "Xinbao" and a copy of "Film Fortnightly"!"
After speaking, he took out the money and put it in the box next to the newsstand. The boss found the newspaper on the newsstand and handed a magazine to Peter Li.
"Xinbao" is the newspaper where Peter Lai writes his column.
After meeting Ng Shu Han yesterday, Peter Lai hurriedly wrote a column criticizing black and white images and submitted it to the New Paper. As for "Film Fortnightly", although he knew that it was a film magazine run by Black and White Media, he did not want to give it to Black and White.
The media contributes its own money, but there is no way. There is only one relatively professional film magazine in Hong Kong now. Even if he doesn't want to give money, he has to take it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Director Li, if you don't read "True Report", today's "True Report" has big news!"
The newsstand owner knew Peter Li, so he asked.
Doesn't that mean sending money to Black and White Media again? Li Peter asked, "What's the big news?"
"Hehe!" The newsstand owner smiled, but he didn't tell Peter Li that there was any big news in the "True News". If he told Peter Li, he wouldn't buy it!
"Forget it, give me a share!" Li Peter took the money helplessly, and then comforted himself in his heart. He was not giving money to Black and White Media, but wanted to see it with a critical eye. Black and White Media had done it again.
What a big move has been made.
The newsstand owner smiled and found a copy of the "True News" and handed it to Peter Li.
Holding two newspapers and a magazine, Peter Li wandered back to his apartment. He first went into the kitchen and cooked himself a bowl of noodles. He quickly returned to the dining table with the bowl in hand and opened the "Xinbao"!
Soon he saw his column in "The New Paper". Although there was only a column and no 'netizen replies', Li Peter was still very happy and ate a few more bites of noodles.
Looking at his passionate words, Li Peter felt that he had already seen the readers who were cheering for him.
After finishing enjoying himself, Peter Li originally wanted to open the "Movie Biweekly", but after thinking about what the newsstand owner had just said, he decided to read the content in "True News" first.
At this time, Li Peter sighed in his heart. He was worried that there would be another four-frame comic in the entertainment section.
"Fortunately, no!"
Peter Li breathed a sigh of relief because he didn't see the four-panel comic, but soon his expression changed because there was indeed a big news on it.
"According to this newspaper, Film Fortnight will join forces with major film companies in Hong Kong, including Black and White, Shaw Brothers and other film companies, to jointly organize a film award that belongs to the Hong Kong film industry and the Chinese film industry. It has now been confirmed
The name of the film award is the Hong Kong Film Awards"
The noodles fell into Li Peter's mouth, but he didn't notice it at all. He just felt like he was watching a big joke.
Then Peter Lai opened the "Film Fortnightly" in a panic, and sure enough, he found news about the Hong Kong Film Awards to be held.
"Fart, with the current environment in the Hong Kong film industry, why should we accept our own film awards?"
In Hua Jie Teahouse, not only Peter Li and Lao Li are here this time, but also several other well-known film commentators in Hong Kong. They are all gathered together because of the contents of "True News" and "Film Fortnightly"
.
According to common sense, Hong Kong's own Film Awards should be something that makes all film professionals happy, but now these people are not happy.
Because both the introduction to the Film Awards in "True News" and "Film Fortnightly" mentioned that this award will establish an organizing committee for the Film Awards, and the members of the organizing committee are completely
It is composed of directors and actors from the Hong Kong film industry.
And these people will also be the judges of the Film Awards!
As of this writing, these people can still accept it.
But what they said next was unacceptable to them. The Hong Kong Film Awards resolutely refused to accept those who had never made a movie but claimed to be film practitioners, because these people said they were invincible, but they were weak in action.
usually.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see who this is targeting!
Aren’t they just movie reviewers?
"This is going to ruin the rhythm of Hong Kong movies!" someone said angrily.
"Humph, would Xiangjiang Movies still be Xiangjiang Movies without us?" Someone echoed.
"Making movies every day that only pursue box office is ruining the art of filmmaking!"
Seeing these people being so excited here, Sister Hua at the bar curled her lips, if you really do it for the sake of film art, why not just order a cup of milk tea while everyone else is there!
Bah, poor guy!
"Everyone, we must not let them succeed in this matter, otherwise, Hong Kong Film will be ruined by these people!" Peter Li said loudly.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and said, "We must not let them succeed!"
As for whether Xiangjiang's movies will be ruined by the Film Awards, these people actually have no control over it. What they really care about is that there is no Film Awards now. They think that Xiangjiang's movies are good or bad.
authoritative identification.
But now that we have the Film Awards, they are no longer the authoritative judges.
What? The movies selected by those great directors and actors are not as good as those selected by you people?
These people can already imagine what kind of comments there will be after the Hong Kong Film Awards comes out.
Therefore, the Hong Kong Film Awards must not be released. Even if they are released, they must participate!
Lao Li said helplessly, "Is there any way you can stop the establishment of the Film Awards?"
This question caused the scene to fall into silence.
In the end, these people dispersed without discussing any good solution.
"Old Li, lend me your script!" Li Peter stopped Lao Li and said to him.
Lao Li asked, "What's wrong?"
"it works!"
"Okay, but you have to keep it safe for me. I'm going to use this script to win the grand prize!" Lao Li warned.
"Don't worry!" Peter Li said nonchalantly.
After getting the script, Peter Li went to a mahjong parlor again. Today he must win Wu Shuhan. If the script doesn't work, then he will use the power of the club!
