Chapter 273 Hong Kong Island premiere, gathering of superstars! (Please subscribe!)

A Boeing passenger plane took off from Beijing Airport and flew directly to Hong Kong Island International Airport.

All first-class seats on the plane were booked by Huayi.

The crew and creators filled the seats, and if there were not enough seats, they would go to the back and sit in business class.

Lin Xuan and Wang Zhongjun were sitting in the first row.

He holds a stack of small cards in his left hand and signs skillfully with his right hand.

These star cards were handed over to him by the stewardess for his signature when he boarded the plane.

"Mr. Wang, your trip to Hong Kong Island has been arranged."

Lin Xuan lowered his head and asked casually.

“Don’t worry, I’ve discussed it with Jiang Zhiqiang and the people from the Emperor, and there won’t be any problem.

Those on Hong Kong Island all want to come to the mainland to develop, and they don’t dare to offend you and me, let alone China Film. "

The night view of Hong Kong Island is still very beautiful.

With Emperor Entertainment and Anle Pictures intervening, Lin Xuan's reputation in the Hong Kong media began to improve.

It is better to let the studio team contact their media first, and those with malicious intentions will be directly disqualified from admission. "

They tried their best to sow cross-strait relations through Lin Xuan personally.

A very long convoy of more than a dozen Mercedes-Benz cars is rare even on Hong Kong Island, and it will definitely turn heads.

Everyone laughed.

The motorcade drove out of the airport and headed towards the hotel in the city.

"My main concern is that some media outlets will deliberately stir up trouble."

The crew of "Embroidered Spring Knife" stepped off the plane one by one, and Lin Xuan returned the small card in his hand to the flight attendant.

They are as smelly and hard as stones in a latrine, and they don't give these two families any face at all.

Nothing went wrong along the way.

Five hours later, the plane landed at Hong Kong Island International Airport.

There are positive stories about him in the news and newspapers from time to time.

However, there are a number of media outlets on Hong Kong Island with foreign investment backgrounds.

"Hahaha."

Liu Yifei beside her asked: "Brother Lin Xuan, is this your first time coming to Hong Kong Island?"

Of course Lin Xuan can think of this. What he is most worried about is not the actors in Hong Kong Island, but the media.

Liu Yifei pointed out the window and found many pedestrians looking this way.

The motorcade slowly drove into the hotel.

"The more grand it is, the more attention it attracts, and the more careful you have to make mistakes. Have you memorized the script I gave you?"

After walking out of the terminal, the group passed through the VIP channel and arrived at the airport parking lot.

Hearing that Lin Xuan liked Mercedes-Benz, the Emperor specially sent a fleet of Mercedes-Benz to pick him up at the airport.

"Yes, how about you?"

"Ah That's good!"

…………

Liu Yifei raised her hand and promised: "I have memorized it for three whole days and I know it by heart. I will definitely not make any mistakes."

Wang Zhongjun pointed at the motorcade not far away and smiled.

"Thank you, Director Lin. I wish you a happy trip and a great box office success."

Lin Xuan sat in the back row and looked out the window.

"Look over there, you are so proud."

However, the media attending the premiere have been screened, so there should be no problems at the premiere. "

"Okay, I'll make arrangements after landing."

"Don't be careless, there are problems even in the mainland premiere, let alone Hong Kong Island.

"I've been here several times. But I always go shopping with my mother, and it's not so grand."

Lin Xuan was worried about someone throwing rotten eggs in traffic jams.

Wang Zhongjun put down the newspaper in his hand and sighed: "The pen is in other people's hands, and we can't do anything they want to write.

Why do you think Lin Xuan is so mean in normal times, and he continues to be so mean now?

"The arrangement is good. It's not easy to get stuck in a Mercedes-Benz."

Lin Xuan signed the last card and expressed his concerns.

He is not afraid of foreign media gossiping behind his back, but he is afraid of problems at the premiere.

"Thank you. See you again when we are destined."

From a distance, I saw a group of people standing at the door of the hotel to greet me.

After Lin Xuan got out of the car, he shook hands and chatted with them.

"Mr. Jiang, long time no see. Why did you come out to greet me in person?"

"This is the first time Director Lin comes to Hong Kong Island. Of course I have to respect him as a landlord."

The leader is Jiang Zhiqiang, the president of Anle Pictures. Standing next to him is the president of Emperor Entertainment, and behind him are the executives of the two companies.

The two heavyweights personally greeted me, and the treatment was really high.

After some polite greetings, everyone went to the guest room to rest.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Lin Xuan took several starring actors to the hotel banquet hall for the welcome dinner.

"Director Lin, the people attending the banquet tonight are all insiders. I will introduce them to you later."

"Then I'll trouble Mr. Jiang."

Entering the restaurant, Lin Xuan took a quick look around.

The restaurant was grandly decorated, with dozens of dining tables filled with people, and hundreds of hostesses walking around.

When the crew of "Xiu Chun Knife" appeared, the noise in the hall immediately fell silent.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at them.

Lin Xuan's expression was indifferent, with a slight smile on his face, and he followed Jiang Zhiqiang to the first row of main tables.

The people sitting at this table are all Hong Kong superstars.

I don’t know if it was specially arranged by Jiang Zhiqiang, but several of them have also cooperated with him.

"Director Lin, welcome to Hong Kong Island."

Liu Dehua was the first to stand up and shake hands with him.

"Brother Hua, long time no see, he looks handsome again."

"Hey, I'm already old. I can't compare with you."

"Viagra!"

Liang Chaowei smiled helplessly and said: "Director Lin, welcome to Hong Kong Island. Come visit me at my home when you have time."

"Okay, I'll definitely go when I have time."

"Sister Manyu."

"Hello, Director Lin."

Several artists who had worked with Lin Xuan stood up to greet him one after another.

After the greetings were finished, Jiang Zhiqiang took over the conversation and introduced others to him.

Anle Pictures has a lot of reputation.

They actually gathered all the Four Heavenly Kings, as well as Hong Kong superstars such as Chow Yun-fat, Wu Zhengyu, and Cheng Yijian.

Emperor Entertainment did not give in too much and invited its own popular artists.

Chef Xie, Chen Guanxi, Chen Yisun, twins, Yung Zuer, and "The First Brother of the Emperor" Wang Jie.

Emperor Entertainment's current business is still mainly based on records.

We have to wait until next year to officially enter the mainland, waving banknotes and leading a group of Hong Kong stars to conquer cities and territories.

It's a pity that out of ten films produced, nine were bad films that failed at the box office.

"Director Lin, I don't need to introduce you to this person."

Jiang Zhiqiang pointed at the big boss in the finale.

"That's definitely not necessary. Who doesn't know Brother Cheng Long?"

"Director Lin Xuan, hello, hello."

Cheng Long stood up and shook hands with him with a smile.

Putting aside their private lives, he and Bruce Lee are the undisputed lights of the Chinese in terms of their international influence.

Respect should still be given.

Besides, Lin Xuan is also in a mess in terms of his personal life, so don't make a fool of yourself.

The two briefly exchanged a few words, and Lin Xuan keenly discovered that Cheng Long seemed to have something to tell him.

But there is definitely no way to talk about it in this situation.

He gave me a look and said that we would talk in private later when we have time.

At a gathering of more than three people, it is basically impossible to talk about serious business.

Tonight's banquet is a social gathering between the entertainment circles on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Everyone just needs to eat, chat, and flatter each other.

Anle Pictures and Emperor Entertainment are well prepared.

Nothing untoward happened at the dinner.

Even if a few actors were disenchanted, it didn't show on their faces.

Lin Xuan was not prepared to make friends with them, as long as he could live up to his reputation.

On the other hand, Chef Xie, who always displayed a cool and handsome image, frequently toasted to show his goodwill at the wine party.

Lin Xuan guessed that this was a task given to him by the company.

Emperor will enter the mainland next year, and Chef Tse will also make a comeback to join the film industry. The mainland market is something that both parties must pay attention to.

With Lin Xuan's status in domestic entertainment, establishing a good relationship with him is a required course for these Hong Kong actors.

The dinner lasted for more than three hours.

As the protagonist of the banquet, Lin Xuan naturally drank a lot of wine, but he was still sober.

…………

After saying goodbye to them, Lin Xuan returned to the room to rest.

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

"you are?"

There was a middle-aged man standing outside the door.

He looked familiar, as if he was an executive from Emperor Entertainment.

"Director Lin, there is an artist in the company who is a die-hard fan of yours. I hope you can give me some advice on acting skills. Isn't it convenient?"

Lin Xuan looked up and saw a girl standing behind the man.

She has a beautiful face, a hot figure, and long and slender legs. She is almost 1.8 meters tall in high heels.

You don't need me to give you advice on acting skills...

Lin Xuan shook his head and prepared to close the door.

"Sorry, it's getting late, I'm going to have a rest soon."

"Hey, Director Lin..."

The man stretched out his hand to stop her, leaned over and whispered: "Don't worry, Director Lin, she did it voluntarily, and I promise there will be no problems."

"Thank you for your kindness, but tomorrow is the premiere, and I have to be busy with some preparations."

After saying that, Lin Xuan closed the door directly without giving him a chance to speak again.

Hong Kong Island is no different than the mainland, so he must be cautious in everything he says and does.

Besides, although that girl is good-looking, she looks relatively unfamiliar.

He only plays friendly matches with future big stars.

Not long after closing the door, the phone in the room rang.

"Mr. Wang, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Lin Xuan, are you the only one in the room?"

Lin Xuan instantly understood what he meant and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I was asked to rush back. You are really worrying so much. I still have this bit of concentration."

"Hey, I'm looking down on you."

Wang Zhongjun was deeply afraid that Lin Xuan would not be able to control himself after drinking.

Although this matter was arranged by the Emperor, there is no guarantee that the secret will not be revealed.

The paparazzi on Hong Kong Island are much more powerful than those on the mainland.

Besides, he wouldn't dare accept it even if it was absolutely safe.

Once you touch that woman, it's equivalent to having someone else's leverage.

Lin Xuan could tell what was light and what was serious.

…………

Silent all night.

At noon the next day, the crew got ready at the hotel and drove to the premiere.

"Wow, I'm so nervous!"

Liu Yifei was wearing a small dress and clenched her fists, feeling nervous and excited at the same time.

"It was fine during the premiere in Beijing. Why are you so nervous when you get to Hong Kong Island?"

"I don't know, maybe it's because the celebrities on Hong Kong Island are bigger."

The little girl spoke her mind directly.

The stars from Hong Kong far exceed mainland stars in terms of the quality of their works and their international influence.

Even if you don't want to admit it in your heart, this is the truth.

Cheng Long, Liang Chaowei, Zhou Yunfa, Liang Jiahui, the Four Heavenly Kings, Zheng Yijian, Wu Zhengyu...

This is just the cast, not including well-known directors and famous singers from Hong Kong Island.

"Don't be nervous, the glory of Hong Kong is already in the past.

These people are now coveting the mainland market, and they are looking for help from us, so they won't do anything wrong. "

"Of course I know, but I just can't control it. Look at my palms getting sweaty."

Liu Yifei spread her palms and blew air through her small mouth to cool down.

She suddenly saw Lin Xuan's two hands free. After hesitating for a moment, she decisively stretched out her hand to hold it.

"That's much better."

Liu Yifei bared her teeth and smiled.

Lin Xuan shook his head speechlessly, but did not break away.

The little girl is only 16 years old this year. She has never seen any big scenes, so it is inevitable to be nervous.

"Why aren't you nervous?"

Lin Xuan turned to look at Huang Shengyi.

"A little nervous, but okay."

Huang Shengyi smiled and then took out his mobile phone.

"By the way, Director Lin, Director Zhou Xingxing called me this morning and said he would attend the premiere on time."

"That's great. The Four Heavenly Kings have 100% on every two weeks. This premiere is full."

Zhou Xingxing's new movie "Kung Fu" is in the preparation stage, and he is not sure whether he can spare the time.

Lin Xuan asked Huang Shengyi to call and ask, but unexpectedly it happened.

…………

The motorcade drove into the premiere, and Lin Xuan got off the car and stood in front of the red carpet waiting.

Dozens of media were gathered around the red carpet area, carrying various guns and cannons.

"Xiu Chun Knife" premieres and stars gather together. This is a scene that reporters definitely don't want to miss.

Far behind the reporter, there were dense crowds of spectators and fans, but most of them were fans of the guests.

"Let's go!"

The whole crew got out of the car and walked on the red carpet together.

Lin Xuan, wearing a Dior custom-made suit, walked at the front of the team.

Huang Shengyi and Liu Yifei, wearing red and white dresses, walked on either side of him.

"Kakaka!"

The flashbulbs flashed wildly.

The crew had to stop every few steps to let the media take photos.

"Hey, Director Lin, there are fans of yours over there."

Huang Shengyi took a few steps closer and spoke in a low voice.

Lin Xuan turned around and looked.

Among the dense crowd, some spectators were dressed in red and held up posters of Lin Xuan.

"I didn't expect that I still have fans in Hong Kong Island."

Lin Xuan laughed at himself, then waved to greet them.

Seeing this, the fans became even more excited.

Regardless of the cold looks and ridicule of others, he excitedly waved the posters and light signs in his hands.

"You have made so many movies and TV shows, many of which have been shown on Hong Kong Island. Isn't it normal to have fans?"

Liu Yifei muttered softly.

Hong Kong Island has a population of several million.

No matter how "heinous" Lin Xuan's crime was, everyone would not scream for beatings.

He has made more than a dozen film and television works over the years, and he will definitely be able to convert some viewers into fans.

It's just that these fans are really brave to insist on standing up to support him in such a big environment.

After walking through the red carpet, the crew came to the interview area.

In front of the media, everyone talked freely.

These media are all screened, and even the questions are based on scripts.

Apart from the movie-related questions, the rest is about my impression of Hong Kong Island, nothing offensive.

It seems that the surprise inspection last night was effective.

Those media outlets with malicious intentions have been cleared out.

After the crew finished their interviews, the guests who came to attend the premiere began to walk on the red carpet.

When the big-name stars came over, the cheers outside the stadium were deafening.

Lin Xuan is too familiar with this.

Everywhere he went in the mainland, he could enjoy such treatment.

The guests who came to help today are basically the same people who attended the banquet last night.

Lin Xuan led the cast and crew to shake hands and greet them.

With the foreshadowing last night, the communication between the two parties will not be so awkward.
