Chapter 112 Birthday Banquet

8.25
Liu Yifei's 18th birthday party.

State Guesthouse, Building 17, Fangfei Garden.

Cheng Lingfeng attended alone.

"Sister Lingfeng." Liu Yifei, the heroine of the banquet, jumped to Cheng Lingfeng's side, took Cheng Lingfeng's arm affectionately, looked again, and asked, "Did Cheng not come?"

"Yu'an has gone to Hong Kong Island. Today's "Despicable Street" premieres, he must go."

"Oh." The little girl was still a little disappointed.

"Happy birthday Qianqian, this is a gift for you." Cheng Lingfeng congratulated first, and then handed over two gifts.

One is hers and the other is Cheng Yu'an's.

After greeting Cheng Lingfeng, Liu Yifei walked away.

"Mr. Cheng." Huang Xiaoming spotted Cheng Lingfeng first.

"Xiao Ming is here too." Cheng Lingfeng responded, "What have you been up to lately?"

"Just finished a unit drama." Huang Xiaoming said.

"I haven't congratulated you on winning "The Banquet" yet." Cheng Lingfeng said.

Huang Xiaoming played the role of Yin Sun in "The Banquet", so he can be regarded as the third male number.

"Did Cheng not come?" Huang Xiaoming asked.

"He went to Hong Kong Island. The schedule of "Despicable Street" was temporarily changed, so he left in a hurry."

"When will our "Clues to Time and Space" be released?" Huang Xiaoming asked.

"Yu'an is doing very well in the later stage. It should be able to catch up with the New Year's Eve. It will not be until January at the latest. You have to set aside time then."

"No problem." Huang Xiaoming assured, patting his chest.

Not to mention that he participated in "Clues of Time and Space", Cheng Yu'an rescued himself in the United States, and he had to repay this favor.

The banquet held in Fangfeiyuan was first held with the signing ceremony with Dafa.

After signing the contract with Dafa this time, Liu Yifei will be sent to Japan for devil-like training. The little girl also said that she will put all her energy on music during this period:

"I have to study music in Japan for half a year, so I may pause for a while in acting, but I still like acting very much, so I will not give up. I will do my best in both acting and singing, and I will live up to everyone's treatment of me. expectations."

When it was time to conclude, the little girl frowned: "So if you have any good scripts or songs, you can come to me."

At the signing press conference, Liu Yifei also made a joke. The reporter asked her the details of the signing. Liu Yifei only knew that she signed with Dafa, and she was at a loss for the difference between Xinso and Japan Ni. In the end, she was the executive president of Dafa Records in Greater China Cui Zhendong came out and blocked the matter back.

The brief signing conference ended quickly, and the organizers changed the stage a little before starting the birthday party.

On Hong Kong Island, Cheng Yuan was picked up by Yinhuang's people as soon as he got off the plane.

Li Yabo, the production director of Yinhuang who came with him, apologized in the car: "Director Cheng is sorry, and temporarily changed the file."

"It's okay." Cheng Yu'an didn't ask Yinhuang why he changed files suddenly.

After half an hour's drive, the two finally reached the theater.

"Fortunately, we arrived, and the premiere will start in 10 minutes." The on-site staff immediately arranged for Cheng Yu'an to change clothes.

A song and dance performance has been arranged in front of the stage to warm up the scene.

This year, the market in Hong Kong remains weak. The highest box office of local films is "Initial D" with 3700 million yuan, followed closely by Pixar's "The Incredibles" with 3500 million yuan.

Cheng Yu'an doesn't know whether Hong Kong audiences will eat gangster movies like "Despicable Streets". After all, "Despicable Streets" is different from Hong Kong-style gangster movies.

It didn't exaggerate the so-called fraternal brothers, even the one who betrayed you is a brother, but focused on the struggle of the bottom people.

Li Yabo answered the reporter's question on stage, "Gangster movies used to be the most popular movies in Hong Kong Island. Some people say that gangster movies are dead. I don't think so. Gangster movies are gone, but they are definitely not dead.

"Of course there are reasons for the times. Our law and order has improved, and our people live and work in peace and contentment. In reality, there is no soil for gangsters." Regardless of whether it is true or not, it must be said so.

"But as an important type of film, I think the decline of gangster movies is related to the lack of innovation of our directors and screenwriters. So this time we made bold innovations in "Despicable Streets" and adopted a brand new perspective to interpret gangster movies."

"Li Sheng, do you have any expectations for the box office of "Despicable Street"?"

"I hope there are 5000 million."

The reporters in the audience were in an uproar. You must know that the box office of "Kung Fu" in Hong Kong Island last year was only a little over 6000 million.

Li Yabo played a word game here, and he is not stupid, of course he knew that "Despicable Street" would not even get 5000 million in the Hong Kong market, so he included the box office in the mainland.

China Film has promised to arrange the release of "Despicable Street" after the National Day.

Then it was Cheng Yu'an's turn: "We used to have no channels to watch Hong Kong Island movies. I'm actually okay. As a film school student, I have a little more channels, but I can watch very few movies. Gangster movies are the most popular among our group of students. Deep memory, I can still sing the theme song of the "Young and Dangerous" series."

Cheng Yu'an started chasing the stars at the scene: "Please give me a word to director Liu Weiqiang, ask him if "Young and Dangerous" is still filming, and "Winner is King" will be gone after it?"

Back to "Despicable Street": "When I wrote this story, I was actually beating drums in my heart, because it is different from previous gangster films. As Li Sheng said just now, we have made some innovations, but I don't know if the audience is satisfied. .”

Director Chen Jiashang took the words: "If the filming is not good, just scold me, it has nothing to do with the script."

Cheng Yu'an joked: "Of course it's the director's fault, there's no one to scold the screenwriter for a bad filming!"

The premiere, which was supposed to be serious, suddenly turned into joy.

"Li Sheng, may I ask why Daniel (Wu Azu) was chosen to star in this movie?"

Originally, this question should be asked to the director Chen Jiashang, but everyone knows that Chen Jiashang took over "Despicable Street" halfway, so the question had to be turned to the producer Li Yabo.

"Because Azu is handsome." Li Yabo smiled, "Just kidding, Azu was recommended to us by Producer Cheng. He said he watched "New Police Story" and thought he was very suitable for "Despicable Street". Joe also liked the character, and we hit it off."

At the premiere, the audience responded enthusiastically, and no reporter asked him about the bugging of the door before.

After the premiere, Li Yabo invited for a midnight snack, and the main creators went.

"Azu, if you have the opportunity, you must come to the Mainland to develop. You have many fans in the Mainland."

Cheng Yu'an and Wu Azu got along very well, both of them had a background in living abroad, and they put their arms around their shoulders and called each other brothers after two drinks.

"What the hell, Yankees don't look down on us at all. Azu, if you want to go further on the road of being an actor, I advise you to change your nationality back to Hong Kong Island." I don't know that Cheng Yu'an is talking nonsense after drinking Still sincerely.

Wu Azu only thought he drank too much.

How precious is American citizenship now!

"Cheng Dao, why haven't you changed your American nationality after you have been abroad for so many years?" Li Yabo asked.

"Before our family, up to my father's generation, were all foreign nationalities due to historical reasons, but in my generation, my three grandfathers would not let us become foreign nationals. We were all born in China and lived in China. Receive education, go abroad to study for a few years when you are older, those who are willing to return to China will return to China, and those who do not want to return to China will continue to stay in foreign countries.”

This is also the main experience of Cheng Yuan before returning to China at the age of 16.
