China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 194 Fan Xiaopang: Aren’t you tired of so many women? (Please subscribe!)

"Director Zhang, welcome."

"Director Chen, Sister Hong, long time no see."

"Director Shaohong, please come inside."

"Director Wu, Third Master..."

……

Lin Xuan's courtyard house was filled with bright stars and big bosses gathered there.

Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Li Shaohong and other top mainland directors.

Li Lianjie, Chen Daoming, Ge You, Zhang Guoli, Zhang Ziyi and other big stars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

There are also bosses from film and television companies such as Emperor, Asia Ring, New Picture, Huayi, and Rongxinda.

As well as leaders of CCTV, China Film, Radio and Television and other relevant departments.

Even the lineup for the Golden Rooster Awards is not as good as his Siheyuan.

Lin Xuan walked around the courtyard with several distinguished guests.

Everyone admired the design style of the courtyard house very much and asked many questions along the way.

"Director Lin, which decoration company did you find to design this yard?"

"I designed them all myself."

"Really? Do you know how to design?"

"know a bit!"

Siheyuan is very common in the capital, and several distinguished guests have a few of them.

However, the design of their yard is rustic and incomparable with Lin Xuan's yard.

In 02, the mainland decoration market either followed traditional design styles or copied Western designs.

The courtyard of Lin Xuan retains traditional elements, and the overall style is simple, beautiful and grand.

"What's the name of your design style?"

"It's self-created, so there's no name for it. But if I really have to name it, I think it's very appropriate to call it 'New Chinese Style'."

Lin Xuan took them around and introduced the design concept of the house.

The bosses around me were like students, listening carefully with their eyes open.

Some bosses whose brains are not working well and whose artistic aesthetics are not up to standard directly reach out to him and ask for design drawings.

Don't worry about the design concept, just copy it.

…………

At twelve o'clock, the housewarming party officially started.

There are fifteen dining tables placed in the huge courtyard, and each one is full of people.

Except for the thirty-person table in the restaurant, everything else was provided by the club.

The big tables in the restaurant were occupied by leaders, bosses, directors, and other actors and stars were sitting at small tables for more than a dozen people.

Although this arrangement was a bit snobbish, no one present expressed dissatisfaction.

This situation is very common in society, not to mention the highly hierarchical entertainment industry.

After the guests were seated, the waiters at the business club began to serve the dishes. Some of the club's regulars could even recognize their faces.

18 dishes for a small table, a box of Maotai, double the portion for a large table!

"Thank you all for coming to Humble House. I'll do it first as a courtesy."

After Lin Xuan stood up and finished speaking, he raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, followed by others.

After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere at the table became lively.

There was heavy snow falling outside, but the restaurant was in full swing.

"Director Lin, today is your housewarming celebration, I want to toast you with another toast."

"Thank you, Mr. Zheng. I'll do it first out of respect."

Lin Xuan has a good drinking capacity, which is no secret in the industry. He recorded a record of drinking three kilograms without getting drunk.

So some people were curious about how much he could drink.

Today was a rare opportunity, so they resorted to fighting to get him drunk.

In just half an hour, Lin Xuan was besieged by many people and drank more than half a bottle of liquor.

"Um...I'll go to the next table to make a toast."

He got up and left with the bottle in hand.

"I've heard of Urine Escape, and this is my first time seeing Wine Escape! Come back soon, I'm waiting for you."

"You eat first and drink first. If I go to toast, I'm also drinking."

Lin Xuan let out a sigh of relief after walking out of the restaurant.

These grandsons are really good at drinking. They made a box of Maotai in half an hour. If they don’t come out to take a break, they will definitely be cut off today.

Lin Xuan held the wine glass and ran back and forth in several courtyards, toasting all the drinks that should be toasted.

Every time he toasted, he would sit down and chat with his friends for a while.

It can not only relieve the drunkenness, but also delay time.

By the time he returned to the main table, more than an hour had passed.

This group of people couldn't wait for Lin Xuan, so they started killing each other, and now they have drunk enough.

"Come on, bosses, let me toast you."

Lin Xuan took the opportunity to attack and forced them to beg for mercy again and again. They really couldn't drink anymore.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the housewarming party ended.

"Director Lin, thank you for the hospitality. I have work to do in the afternoon, so I won't disturb you."

"Work is important...be careful on the road."

Guests who had something to do in the afternoon left first, and Lin Xuan sent them to the door.

Those who had nothing to do sat in the living room drinking tea and chatting.

There are snowflakes falling outside the window, and tea is made around the stove in the house, which is also a beautiful thing.

After seeing off the guests, Lin Xuan returned to the living room, smoking a cigar and chatting and bragging with them.

The more you drink, the more you talk.

A group of people have moved from courtyard houses to real estate, from internal entertainment to entertainment, from the war on terrorism to World War II and the Cold War, from submarines going into the sea to satellites in the sky.

…………

In the evening, it was getting dark, and there were fewer and fewer guests in the courtyard.

""Big Shot" will be released in a few days."

Lin Xuan sent Wang Zhongjun out the door. He was the last guest in the courtyard.

"Yes, the total box office has exceeded 6000 million, making it the box office champion in 01.

In a few days, the company is going to hold a celebration banquet, which is also our Huayi annual meeting. Remember to come early. "

"Big Shot" had great momentum at the beginning of its release, taking in 2000 million yuan at the box office in one week.

Unfortunately, it lacked stamina, and its box office performance began to decline in the second week. In the past ten days, the single-day box office has not exceeded one million.

However, it was such a little increase that finally on the 6000th day of release, the total box office of the movie exceeded [-] million.

This is already a very good result for mainland films.

This movie made a lot of money from advertising, plus box office and copyright income.

Huayi's profit guarantee is also 2000 million.

Feng Xiaogang has achieved such good results and has maintained his title as the "King of New Year Films". It is natural for Huayi to hold a celebration banquet for him.

However, the 6000 million box office performance is not due to him alone.

In addition to Ge You, Guan Zhilin and other starring roles, Lin Xuan's "good reviews" for the movie also contributed a lot to the box office.

Therefore, Wang Zhongjun had to invite him to the celebration banquet.

"No problem, I will be there on time. I still remember Mr. Wang's big red envelope."

Wang Zhongjun patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the red envelope will definitely satisfy you."

After sending away the last guest, Lin Xuan turned around and returned to the courtyard. The club manager was still waiting for him to settle the bill.

"Director Lin, the courtyard has been cleaned. Are you satisfied with today's arrangements?"

"Satisfied, thank you for your hard work."

“It’s not hard work, it’s all what you should do.

Director Lin is really amazing. He invited so many star directors, I was dazzled by them. "

Lin Xuan smiled casually, took out a pen and signed the bill.

"Okay, the balance will arrive tomorrow. Please check it carefully."

"Okay, then I won't bother you."

…………

Lin Xuan came to the study and drank tea to sober up.

After just a few drinks, Fan Xiaopang came back and parked the car directly in the garage.

"This courtyard is so beautiful. Did you really design it?"

Fan Xiaopang walked into the study and sat in front of him.

She had long heard that Lin Xuan bought several courtyard houses near the Forbidden City.

But every time he wanted to visit, he wouldn't let me.

He said that he would be pleasantly surprised when the courtyard was fully renovated.

Fan Xiaopang believed what he said and held it in until today before setting foot in this yard for the first time.

Facts have proved that what Lin Xuan said was not exaggerated at all.

She has lived in many villas in the past two years and has some knowledge of decoration and design styles. Even so, when Fan Xiaopang came in in the morning, he was still amazed by the scenery in the yard.

“Of course I designed it, it’s the only one in the world.”

Fan Xiaopang believed him, gave him a thumbs up and said, "Awesome, Designer Lin!"

Lin Xuan poured her a cup of tea and asked, "You also read it this morning. Is there anything you are dissatisfied with?"

Fan Xiaopang drank fragrant tea and looked at the backyard: "There are too many rooms in the backyard."

"A lot?"

Lin Xuan smiled and said: "I'm afraid there won't be enough room for me!"

"roll!"

Fan Xiaopang rolled his eyes angrily:

"I'm just curious. Aren't you tired of having so many women?"

"Have you ever heard that saying, when you are doing something you love, you won't feel tired."

Fan Xiaopang shook his head, his face full of worry: "I never heard of it! I'm just worried about your health now. Don't do it before you are thirty..."

"Shut up! Your worries are unnecessary. I will still be active even when I am eighty years old."

"Bragging!" Fan Xiaopang didn't believe it at all.

You think she is stupid.

There are only exhausted cows, no plowed fields!

"If you don't believe it, just wait and see!"

He has the system by his side, so he doesn't have to worry about such things at all.

"By the way, why don't you go to the backyard to pick a room? It's first come, first served."

"I don't choose, I'll live in the master bedroom!"

"We all have to live in the master bedroom, so I'll get a five-meter-wide bed some other time."

"Bah!" Fan Xiaopang slapped the table: "With me here, let's see who of them dares to come up!"

“I love watching women fight. I’m really looking forward to this day!”

Fan Xiaopang: "*&%*&%*&￥*&%￥*"

…………

As the Spring Festival approaches, celebrities have busy schedules.

In the next few days, Lin Xuan went to CCTV to attend rehearsals every day.

In addition, Wang Jinhua also gave him several business performances around the capital.

His commercial performance quotation has reached 100 million.

It is the same price as Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, Aaron Kwok, Li Ming and other superstars.

Lin Xuan is already a superstar in mainland China.

The popularity and popularity are only higher than those of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Of course, the worth should also match them.

Even if the quotation is as high as 100 million, there is still an endless stream of merchants looking for him, with an average of two or three visits every day.

On the 26th, Lin Xuan took some time off from his busy schedule and went to watch a movie with Fan Xiaopang.

Hollywood blockbuster, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"!

This movie adapted from a fantasy novel only took over RMB [-] million at the box office in the Mainland.

However, it has swept over one billion US dollars globally, and this box office performance is terrifying.

The three protagonists in the movie went from being problem writers in the small town of Daiying to becoming the world's top superstars.

The original author, J.K. Rowling, and the producer, Warner Bros., made a lot of money from this movie.

So we started preparing for the second part non-stop, preparing to turn "Harry Potter" into a series of movies.

This decision was obviously the right one, because no one thought at this time that "Harry Potter" would become the world's most popular movie series, with a total box office of an astonishing US$78 billion.

"Do you think this movie is good?"

The two left the cinema and took a car to a restaurant for dinner.

"Well, I think it's quite interesting. The story is interesting and the special effects are also good. I'll ask my assistant to go to the bookstore tomorrow to buy the original book and come back to take a look."

"You still read a book? You use it to help you sleep."

"Fuck you, don't underestimate me."

Xiaopang thought of the three protagonists in the movie, smacked his lips and said:

"I really envy those three children. They are starring in Hollywood movies at such a young age. Their future prospects are limitless."

Lin Xuan put his arm around her shoulders, recalled the future conditions of the three protagonists, and said with a smile:

"Being popular early may not necessarily last long. Many child stars were so popular when they were young, but they disappeared from everyone when they grew up."

"Too……"

Fan Xiaopang thought for a while and felt that what he said made sense.

Take the movie "Oolong Yuan" as an example. The two kids were popular all over Asia.

But now, Hao Shaowen has no such person, and Shi Xiaolong can only play supporting roles in TV series.

"Then tell me, can I go to Hollywood to make movies in the future?"

"Of course, you are so beautiful, foreigners will definitely like you."

Lin Xuan said this, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart.

Fan Xiaopang's road to Hollywood was not smooth.

Li Bingbing is the second female lead in "Transformers 4", and she is also the second female lead in "Resident Evil 5".

But Fan Xiaopang can only appear in Hollywood blockbusters, and his appearance time is counted in seconds.

…………

Impacted by "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the single-day box office revenue of "The Big Shot" dropped sharply to single digits.

However, Huayi doesn't care about this. They are very satisfied with the total box office exceeding 6000 million.

According to the release time, "Big Shot" has already won the annual box office championship of mainland movies in 01.

This achievement has already made other film and television companies drool with envy.

In early February, the crew held a celebration banquet at the hotel, and almost all the actors from Huayi came.

"Lin Xuan, come and sit."

As soon as he entered the door, Wang Zhongjun walked over to him.

"I asked you to come earlier, but you came so late."

"In the evening rush hour in Beijing, the traffic is stuck on the road."

"Fart, the hotel is only a five-minute drive from your home."

Lin Xuan's expression was stunned.

Oh, I almost forgot that I have moved, so I will have to find a new excuse next time.

"Okay, hurry up and sit down."

Lin Xuan sat next to Wang Zhongjun, and on the other side were Feng Xiaogang and his wife.

"Director Feng, Sister Xu..."

"Hello, Director Lin Xuan."

Xu Fan smiled and nodded at him, showing slight wrinkles on his face.

Alas, time is so ruthless.

No amount of expensive cosmetics can hide the traces that time has left on her face.

When "The Big Brother" was released in 92, Xu Fan in the movie was so beautiful that it was so mesmerizing.

Now ten years have passed, beauties age quickly, and beauties age slowly.

"You're late and you'll have to drink as a penalty."

Lin Xuan was sighing with emotion when Feng Xiaogang hugged his shoulders.

This guy didn't know how many cigarettes he had smoked, and the way he spoke made him want to vomit.

Don't hug me. If you want to hug me, let your wife hug me!

Lin Xuan stood up to get the wine and took the opportunity to get away from his arm.

"Today is Director Feng's celebration banquet, so you must drink to your heart's content."

With his drinking capacity, he could drink Feng Xiaogang into the hospital as long as there was no fighting.

"If you have the guts, both of us will be satisfied."

He was in a good mood today and his voice was much higher when he spoke.

The celebration party hasn't started yet, so the celebrities are sitting quietly.

Feng Xiaogang and Lin Xuan drank first.

They are Huayi's biggest influencers, and these rules cannot restrict them.

The celebration banquet started soon, and Wang Zhonglei talked about Huayi's achievements this year on the stage.

How many people have been signed and how many dramas have been filmed, with Lin Xuan and Feng Xiaogang being highlighted.

The two have achieved amazing results in the fields of television and movies, and have also made Huayi a lot of money.

Take "Big Shot" as an example. The box office of 6000 million is the result of their joint efforts.

Even if Feng Xiaogang was unhappy after hearing this, Wang Zhonglei had to say this.

After all, everyone knows this.

The news about Lin Xuan's fans booking the venue has been in the newspapers.

After speaking, Lin Xuan and Feng Xiaogang went on the stage to receive the award.

Wang Zhonglei handed the big red envelope in his hand to the two of them.

Lin Xuan took it and squeezed it with his hand. There should be a bank card inside.
