I'm not just a director

The premiere of "Kung Fu" hasn't started yet.

Public opinion in the mainland exploded.

A large number of domestic entertainment stars rushed to Hong Kong Province, and naturally this matter could not be hidden from the eyes of paparazzi and fans.

When they learned that a large number of celebrities from the mainland were going to Hong Kong to support the premiere of "Kung Fu", the domestic entertainment media was as happy as the Chinese New Year.

"Book a flight and go to Hong Kong Province to report on the front lines now!"

"Damn it, it's so exciting. Star Master's movie doesn't even have a single Hong Kong star in it, so why do you have to borrow someone from domestic entertainment?"

"I heard that Director Jiang organized domestic entertainment stars to travel to Hong Kong this time. This appeal and connections are simply unrivaled!"

Many people bought tickets to Hong Kong Province and tried to get to the scene as soon as possible.

The media in Hong Kong Province looked confused.

What's going on? Domestic entertainment is going south in a big way?

Of course, many of them know the inside story.

Many people who know the inside story are waiting to see Zhou Xingchi's jokes.

After all, such an awesome director was so suppressed in his hometown that he couldn't hold his head up. Not even a single Hong Kong star came to the film's premiere.

In addition to being suppressed by some mysterious forces, does the director also need to reflect on his own behavior?

Hong Kong media are preparing to make a big deal about this incident. Some media have even written the manuscript and are waiting to send it out at the same time as "Kung Fu" premieres.

As a result, a large number of celebrities from the mainland have disrupted their rhythm.

"Damn it, who is organizing this!"

Many Hong Kong media thought angrily.

It wasn't until they saw the domestic entertainment report that they realized that it was Jiang Pei'an who invited this group of people from the mainland to help out.

Oh, Jiang Pei'an, it's okay...

Just kidding, they don't dare to offend this man.

Many media outlets have used their own actual situations to explain, please do not offend this director from the Mainland!

……

"Director Zhou, the matter has been resolved. You can prepare for tonight's premiere with peace of mind."

Jiang Peian said with a smile.

"Pei'an, did you invite them from the mainland?"

Jiang Peian is very comfortable in the mainland, which Zhou Xingchi already felt when he went to the mainland for the first time.

But he still found it a bit unbelievable that just by going out for a while and making a few phone calls, he could make a group of people not hesitate to offend the strongmen of Hong Kong Province?

Jiang Peian smiled slightly and said:

"It's not all my doing. Huayi's Wang Zhongjun is not the producer of "Kung Fu", so I told his subordinate Wang Jinghua.

This kind of opportunity to show her face would definitely not be missed by a woman who is always in the limelight.

Director Zhou, you thought too much before. If you had contacted Wang Zhongjun earlier, you wouldn't be as passive as you are now. "

Zhou Xingchi has a sense of loneliness in his bones. This kind of loneliness is that he doesn't want to trouble others, and he doesn't want others to trouble himself.

So he would rather have no celebrities at the premiere of "Kung Fu" than ask for help.

But he happened to meet Jiang Peian, a social cow.

Jiang Pei'an doesn't care about this. He only knows that the movie he stars in needs someone to help promote it.

Also, Stephen Chow previously performed at the premiere of his movie.

From Jiang Pei'an's point of view, no matter what purpose Zhou Xingchi had on stage, it was just to help him, Jiang Pei'an, and he had to return the favor.

Also, he really couldn't stand the attitude of Qiangzi's family.

"Okay, I understand, then I'm going to prepare for tonight."

Zhou Xingchi nodded and said.

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing."

Jiang Peian said suddenly.

Zhou Xingchi looked at him doubtfully.

"When these people come over, please don't forget to arrange for someone to pick them up at the airport. Remember to make the lineup bigger, and also make arrangements for the hotel and the place to stay for the evening celebration."

After hearing Jiang Peian's words, Zhou Xingchi nodded and quickly asked his assistant to make arrangements.

After arranging everything, Jiang Peian left the office and did not disturb Zhou Xingchi's work.

During this period, Jiang Pei'an answered several calls, most of them from people he had met in Hong Kong before.

Among them is Li Lianjie.

"Pei'an, are you in Hong Kong Province?"

"Yes, Brother Jie, I have been in Hong Kong for two days. How did you get the news? It was too slow."

Jiang Peian lit a cigarette and said with a smile.

Li Lianjie was silent for a while, as if he was organizing his words, and then he just heard him say:

"I have been filming during this period, so the news is relatively limited."

The information was blocked, so why did he suddenly become well-informed now?

Jiang Pei'an did not expose the twists and turns, saving face for the other party.

"Okay, let's drink together another day."

Jiang Peian said with a smile.

"Pei'an, there's no need to make things so tense."

Li Lianjie suddenly said this without thinking.

But he knew that Jiang Pei'an would definitely understand what this sentence meant.

Jiang Peian smiled indifferently and said:

"Brother Jie, you should be on the set and filming. You don't need to be so well-informed."

Apparently someone got the news that Jiang Pei'an was trying to persuade people from the mainland and that he had sent Jet Li as a lobbyist.

The network of relationships in the entertainment industry is intricate, and all kinds of new things emerge in an endless stream.

This made melon-eaters on the Internet talk about it with relish.

Some of these things are still hidden underneath, just waiting to be fished out. There are only things you didn’t expect and nothing you can’t see.

At that time, Jet Li came to Hong Kong from the mainland to develop his career without any background, but the movies he starred in became popular step by step.

Naturally, everyone wants to occupy this cash cow. Jet Li signed a contract with Golden Harvest to make four movies in two years, with a salary of 600 million.

But when two years were about to pass, Li Lianjie had only received a salary of 300 million yuan. He asked the company to ask for it, but the company immediately turned against him and withheld his passport and refused to let him leave.

At this time, Li Lianjie met his nobleman Cai Ziming, who helped Li Lianjie solve the problem and became his agent.

However, not long after, something happened that caused a sensation in the entire Hong Kong Province. Li Lianjie was so frightened that he did not even dare to leave the door.

After that, several bodyguards were arranged for filming. In the end, the egg-laying chicken was protected by Hadron and successfully escaped.

After that, no one dared to touch Li Lianjie.

Therefore, Li Lianjie also respects Qiangzi very much. The two have a very close relationship. Qiangzi's son Da Zuo also recognizes Li Lianjie as his godfather.

In order to better make the hero famous, Li Lianjie helped him wholeheartedly and even taught him kung fu.

But the colonel couldn't help him up, so he made a joke about having a 35-year-old body but a 70-year-old kidney.

Therefore, Jiang Pei'an certainly knew the purpose of Li Lianjie's call...

"Brother Jie, what do you think I should do? I've already called them, I can't let them go back, right?"

Hearing this, Li Lianjie thought Jiang Peian had listened and said with a smile:

"They don't have to go back, as long as you don't go to the premiere tonight."

"Haha, that's impossible."

Jiang Peian refused without thinking.

"Hey, why are you so stubborn?" Li Lianjie sighed and then hung up the phone.

Jiang Peian looked at the phone and smiled.

……

Hong Kong Provincial Airport.

When the plane landed smoothly, many Hong Kong reporters were already waiting outside the airport.

Pedestrians coming out of the airport were shocked by this formation.

Soon they discovered that this group of media with long guns and short guns was blocking the entrance of the airport.

"Ms. Fan Bingbing, why do your Huayi artists come to Hong Kong in large numbers?"

"Miss Li Bingbing, can you tell me the purpose of your trip?"

"Is Mr. Hu Jun also here to attend the premiere of "Kung Fu"?"

This group of people from Huayi came in the same batch, there were more than ten celebrities in total, so when they appeared together at the airport.

That lineup, not to mention how spectacular it is!

The airport was besieged and the airport police were finally mobilized to get through.

Finally, five black convoys came to pick up the celebrities, and the crowd was able to evacuate.

Shortly after the crowd dispersed, the airport was noisy again.

Liu Tianxian and Hu Ge appeared at the airport hand in hand.

The two's previous work "Pumping Heart" was widely praised in Hong Kong and was hailed as the "Golden Boy and Girl".

Therefore, when the two appeared at the same time, the commotion caused was no less than that of Huayi's stars.

"Oh my God, what's going on? All the celebrities are showing up at the airport?"

"This is all here to support "Kung Fu". There will be a good show tonight."

"Damn, Liu Yifei and Hu Ge, I really like them so much, please sign your name for me!"

Hu Ge and Liu Yifei were surrounded by people. It was the same scene as before. In the end, the airport police were dispatched and the two were picked up in a black car.

Wave after wave of stars have landed in Hong Kong, and the entire airport seems to have become a platform for stars.

Many fans simply stayed at the airport in order to see their favorite celebrities.

In fact, people in Hong Kong are also star-chasing, and their craziness is no worse than in the mainland.

Entertainment tabloids of later generations often wrote that Hong Kong stars showed off when they came out, just like ordinary people when they went out to buy groceries.

Occasionally, I would also criticize mainland fans who are too crazy about star-chasing.

In fact, the concept of "idol" in Hong Kong Province really started with the "Tan-Zhang Hegemony" in the 80s.

That is, Principal Tan and brother.

Back then, these two were known as red and purple in Hong Kong Province.

At that time, the most important music award in Hong Kong Province was the "Top Ten Golden Songs". In order to win this award, fans from both sides fought fiercely.

My brother has the hit "Monica" and "The Wind Keeps Blowing", and Principal Tan also has hits such as "Love in Late Autumn" and "Love Trap".

Principal Tan has won the "Most Popular Male Singer" award for four consecutive years.

My brother also won the award for the second time in a row, and fans from both sides started a war of words that lasted for several years!

As long as my brother or Principal Tan is on stage, in addition to the cheers of his own fans, there must be boos from another fan, one after another, one wave higher than the other!

The record store also came to stir things up, broadcasting the record sales of two people in real time at the door, allowing fans to fight frantically to spend money to buy records, and they must beat each other.

In 1986, the final grand prize of the "Golden Songs", the "Golden Melody Award", was awarded to my brother's "Who Can Resonate".

Prior to this, this award had been awarded to Principal Tan for two consecutive years.

Now it's awarded to my brother, which is incredible.

The scene caused a huge commotion, and fans from both sides even fought in the audience!

Fans on both sides are simply incompatible with each other!

In order to settle the dispute, Principal Tan announced that he would no longer receive competitive awards, and his brother also announced his retirement from the music scene.

Only then did the "Tan-Zhang struggle for hegemony" come to an end.

Needless to say, in the 90s, the four kings swept the entertainment industry.

If nothing else, just look at the golden song award. From 1990 to 2000, for a whole ten years, the four kings took turns to win the grand prize.

They almost monopolize all the awards in the music world.

Taking to the streets of Hong Kong Province, all their songs were played and all their advertisements were posted, which was even worse than that of later Jiang Tao.

At that time, the Hong Kong media even wrote a limerick:

Liu Dehua in front of the bed is suspected to be Zhang Xueyou. He looked up at Li Ming and looked down at Aaron Kwok.

Fans of the Four Heavenly Kings are equally crazy, spending money on them without blinking an eye.

For example, there was a charity party back then, and Li Ming sang a song, and the rich woman donated 50!

Until now, the "Four Heavenly Kings" have become a legend in the entertainment industry.

After the millennium, the Internet developed rapidly, and more and more artists emerged.

The entertainment industry in Hong Kong as a whole is in a state where a hundred flowers are blooming.

For example, Xiao Xie and Guan Xige are positioned more like the "traffic niche" of later generations.

But from a monopoly perspective, no one can ever reach the peak of the Four Heavenly Kings.

It wasn't until later generations that a fat boy came out of Hong Kong, completely restoring the star-chasing atmosphere in Hong Kong to something of the past.

When the big fat boy celebrated his birthday, tens of thousands of fans came to support him in Causeway Bay, and many police officers were deployed to maintain order.

Fans even invited everyone in Hong Kong to ride the tram for free.

If this matter were brought to the mainland, it is estimated that this group of fans would get a lot of scolding from their idols.

As long as there is a fat boy, he will be surrounded by fans.

Whether it is the airport or an event platform, you are surrounded by the screams of fans. None of the top players in the mainland receive this kind of treatment...

Compared with the entertainment industry in mainland China and South Korea, appearance has always been the first priority.

The star-making model in Hong Kong is completely different, and fans prefer real and down-to-earth stars to glittering ones.

This is also the reason why it is said that Hong Kong superstars are more approachable than mainland stars.

The big fat boy also grasped this point. Although he was not strong enough on stage, he was sincere enough.

He dances hard and sings well.

In later generations, when the mainland's top celebrities frequently collapsed, the big fat boy was so popular that he didn't lose his temper. I can only say that sincerity is always the surefire way!

……

In the evening, the premiere of "Kung Fu".

The premiere ceremony was held in a large place and the scene was bustling.

Many fans held up light signs and kept shouting, and the media at the scene kept pressing their shutters.

This scale is almost as big as a small concert.

Jiang Pei'an's people from the mainland were all sitting in the guest seats in the audience.

"call."

Zhou Xingchi took a deep breath and glanced at Jiang Peian beside him.

Originally, he thought that only the film's creative team would be there this time, but he didn't expect that Jiang Pei'an was able to assemble an all-star cast for him.

"Pei'an, I'm going up first."

Zhou Xingchi said.

"Come on, Director Zhou."

Jiang Peian smiled slightly. (End of chapter)
