Entertaining Children

   Chapter 1095 I want to fight him

"Why?" Chen Manli asked strangely, "The Golden Image Award is a very important award. If your film quality is decent, we will at least help you win a nomination for the best new director. This will be beneficial to your future development. Very good. Also, I heard that you came to Hong Kong Island this time to find an art director. Hong Kong Island has not only good art directors, but also many excellent filmmakers and actors. You cooperate with us, we You can definitely raise your movie to the next level."

  Through the conversation with Yang Shiyun last night, Xiao Yao already knew that Chen Manli was interested in her movie project. But what Xiao Yao didn't expect was that the other party actually took the Hong Kong Island Golden Image Award for an issue.

  Like the Hong Kong Golden Statue in the previous life, the Golden Statue of the World is also an award with regional barriers in the selection criteria. The three shortlisted conditions Xiao Yao mentioned just now are the same as in the previous life.

  This is a relatively localized award. In recent years, film talents on Hong Kong Island have rarely produced new talents. Not only are there few new outstanding young film actors, but even outstanding local new directors. If YH fully supports it, Xiao Yao is really very likely to win the Best New Director as a mainlander. But the problem is that Xiao Yao doesn't care much about this award.

  In the golden age of Hong Kong Island film 30 to 40 years ago, this award was still very important. But now, the entire film industry on Hong Kong Island has long been different from before. In the past, there were people who talked about the topic of "Hong Kong Island movies are dead", and they were concerned about whether Hong Kong Island movies were dead or not. Now they don't even have the thought of talking about it. This award has almost become a self-entertainment under the guise of the "local spirit" of Hong Kong people. In terms of influence and attention, it is all incomparable to before.

  Is it because of the high box office of her two movies that Chen Manli feels that she should pursue awards now? But the problem is that even if you want to pursue awards, you are a mainlander, but you are not without reputation abroad. Will you pursue a Hong Kong award for self-entertainment? Or did she know that she came to Hong Kong Island to find an art director this time, so she felt that the filmmakers on Hong Kong Island were better than others?

I heard that filmmakers from Hong Kong Island used to go to the Mainland to make films, and the treatment in the crew was higher than that of the Mainland. Although in recent years, with the development of the Mainland market, this situation has basically disappeared, but from the tone of Chen Manli The sense of superiority in the hearts of Hong Kong people does not seem to disappear.

  Of course, Xiao Yao thought so in his heart, but he would not say so directly in front of Chen Manli. After all, it is a cooperative relationship with YH now, and Chen Manli just thinks that the Golden Image Awards are worthwhile. The filmmakers on Hong Kong Island do not attack or belittle themselves or mainland filmmakers in their words. Xiao Yao can't be guilty of being like a stunner. It's meaningless to offend people.

"Sister Mandy," Xiao Yao said, "My movie is about a story that happened in a remote and poor small mountain village in the arid area of ​​northwestern China. It doesn't match the style of the Academy Awards at all. As for the actors, I don't think there is any of them. The role is suitable for actors from Hong Kong Island. In this movie, I don’t plan to hire additional voice actors. All the actors’ original voices are used. If you don’t talk about acting skills, many people will not be able to pass the language barrier."

"Of course, I know that your company has also signed some young actors from the mainland to develop," Xiao Yao continued, "but such a person, it shouldn't be possible for you, a director-level figure, to come out and help them get roles in person? If these people are interested, they can participate in the casting company audition like everyone else. I can tell you the company responsible for casting my movie."

   "No, I know which company is helping you choose the cast." Chen Manli waved her hand, looked at Xiao Yao and said, "It seems that there is no possibility for us to cooperate this time?"

   "I hope I can work together next time!" Xiao Yao nodded.

   "That," Xiao Yao watched Chen Manli silently, and asked tentatively, "Tonight, or according to the original plan?"

"Heh," Chen Manli was amused by Xiao Yao's question, and nodded with a smile, "Of course! Although there was no chance to cooperate in this movie, you still made two songs for our company's singers, oh no, three songs, It is our guests and partners, and of course I would like to invite you to dinner to express my gratitude!"

   "You are so polite, thank you in advance!" Xiao Yao smiled.

   "Right, mandy," Xu Wenxiang interrupted, "It's still early, Xiao Yao is fine in the afternoon, do you think there is any program for him to arrange?"

"Arrange a show," Chen Manli looked at Xiao Yao, deliberately smiling, "How about a party for you? How about a yacht for you, some people to accompany you out to sea, how about going to sea for a swimsuit party? Little stars and rich people like to play this way!"

   "There is no offense," Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hand. "I participated in the shooting of Eva's swimsuit special. Can the person you find compare with Eva's model?"

   "Oh ~ Eva's model, they are all world-class supermodels." Xu Wenxiang smiled, "The little guy is not low-grade!"

  "Is it because of the model level, or because I have a girlfriend, I dare not mess around?" Chen Manli smiled.

   "What do you think is the best." Xiao Yao smiled, "I'm afraid that my wife will not be ashamed!"

"Okay, just kidding." Chen Manli said, "If there is nothing wrong in the afternoon, I want to introduce someone to you. Don't worry, it's a boy. He is an artist under me. He is about the same age as you. He should be able to follow you. A good time. He is a native of Hong Kong Island. Let him accompany you in the afternoon. I think he should be no worse than the tour guide A Yun."

  "Your artist, is Feng Junting?" Xiao Yao asked.

  "How do you know?" Chen Manli asked in surprise.

"You said it is your male artist who is about my age," Xiao Yao smiled, "I will try to guess the most famous one! To put it arrogantly, in my reputation, you probably wouldn't introduce the company. Let me know a newcomer who is not well-known here, right?"

   "Then what do you think?" Chen Manli asked.

   "Okay," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "It's all from the entertainment industry, and it would be nice to know one more friend!"

  Feng Junting is twenty-nine years old this year, and he is a native of Hong Kong Island male artist. He is one of the young artists on Hong Kong Island who has shifted the focus of his work to the Mainland earlier. He has developed well. He has worked with many well-known Huadan actors in the Mainland and has a high reputation in the Mainland.

  Although he didn’t know him in private, Xiao Yao still had a good impression of Feng Junting. In terms of the resources owned by YH, it is not difficult to produce a well-known artist in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. The reason why Xiao Yao has a good impression of Feng Junting is mainly because of his appreciation of his own strength and work attitude.

  Feng Junting made his debut through a talent show on Hong Kong Island when he was 18 years old. He was a singer in the early stage and later transformed into an actor. At present, he is a full-scale development of film and television song. Feng Junting can sing and dance, and his acting skills are decent. He is an excellent artist with good looks and strength. He can be regarded as the outstanding young artist on Hong Kong Island in recent years.

  Xiao Yao remembered reading a report that Feng Junting didn’t need to stand in for an action movie. He jumped down from the third floor in person. He was very hardworking and dedicated to filming. Although it is natural for Xiao Yao to put this kind of thing on him, considering the current entertainment environment, there are still some well-known young actors under the age of 30 who can persist in doing this, which is enough to win Xiao Yao's affection for him.

  If it were not for Feng Junting’s poor Mandarin, it would be too ecstasy to speak Guangdong and Pu, Xiao Yao had thought about letting him try the role of Zhou Tienan, the sports teacher in "Donkey Deshui". Now that Chen Manli wants to introduce Feng Junting to him, he will naturally not refuse.

"Okay, I'll call and ask him where he is." Chen Manli said, "He is off today. He must be free. But because you want to record today, I don’t know when you will be recording, so I didn’t call He came to the company. Originally planned to call him during dinner at night and introduce him to you."

   "Please!" Xiao Yao waved his hand.

  "Wait a minute!" Chen Manli greeted her, took out her mobile phone, and went outside to make a call.

  Xiao Yao didn't care, and chatted with Xu Wenxiang casually to pass the boring time.

"Xiao Yao, Justin, oh, it's Jun Ting, he's in a gym in Central now." Chen Manli, who came back from the call, said to Xiao Yao, "There is the city center. There are many places to play, and it’s better to go anywhere. Convenient, why don't we go straight to him? This way you won’t have to run out again when he comes back."

   "Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded.

   "Then I will drive you over!" Chen Manli said.

   "You have work!" Xiao Yao said.

   "Mr. Xu, let's go first." Chen Manli said to Xu Wenxiang, "I have dinner together in the evening. I will send you the address in a moment. Could you please call Ah Yun together!"

   "No problem!" Xu Wenxiang waved his hand.

   Xiao Yao also said goodbye to Xu Wenxiang, and followed Chen Manli out of the studio.

  On the way to the gym, Chen Manli told Xiao Yao a lot about Feng Junting's situation. Anyway, what I said was that I hope the two young people can get closer and try cooperation in the future. Xiao Yao didn't reject Feng Junting, and naturally nodded with a smile.

  Feng Junting’s gym is upstairs in a building in Central. The gym is so big that it occupies an entire level of the third floor of the building. Chen Manli seemed to know Feng Junting's project, and directly led Xiao Yao into the innermost area of ​​the gym.

   What surprised Xiao Yao a little was that the innermost area that Chen Manli led him into actually had a boxing ring. Apparently, this is still a gym with boxing or fighting events.

  "Isn't it fitness?" Xiao Yao asked strangely.

"Justin made an action movie some time ago, acting as a boxer. He has been special training for the role for more than three months, and now the movie is finished, but this training habit is still maintained, and he will come to the gym for boxing whenever he has time." Chen Manli Explained to Xiao Yao.

   "It's okay, this is a good habit for actors!" Xiao Yao smiled.

  Chen Manli also smiled, and shouted to a man in the boxing ring wearing tank top shorts and red boxing gloves: "Justin!"

  The man turned his head when he heard the words and saw the two of them. He motioned to his opponent, turned the rope around the ring, and jumped off the stage.

   "Sister Mandy! Coming!" The man smiled and said to Chen Manli.

   "Well," Chen Manli nodded and introduced the two, "I will introduce you to Xiao Yao, Jutin Feng Junting!"

   "Justin, hello!" Xiao Yao smiled and stretched out his hand first, "I am Xiao Yao!"

   "Hello Xiao Yao! I often see your news in the Mainland, and I often hear some friends in the Mainland mention you!" Feng Junting also smiled and stretched out his hand, but was a little embarrassed to find that he was still wearing gloves.

Xiao Yao's outstretched hand turned into a fist, touched Feng Junting, and smiled: "Just heard from friends in the mainland? Haven't you heard your company's brother Li Xun and Shi Yun mentioned me? They should both talk to you There is no competition, right? Don’t tell me that your personal relationship is not good. This is good material for gossip!"

   "Ah~" Feng Junting was stunned, and then with a helpless face he gave Xiao Yao a fist with his gloved hand, "Don't talk nonsense! I have a good relationship with Big Brother Lixun and Ah Yun."

   "That's right," Feng Junting pointed at the ring behind him with his fist, "I heard that you are good at fighting, are you interested in having a fight with me!"

   "Speak big," Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head, "I never told Brother Li Xun and Shi Yun that I would punch!"

   "I mean I heard that you are very good at playing, but I didn't say that I heard from Big Brother Lixun and Ah Yun!" Feng Junting explained helplessly again.

"Justin, you don't want to be messy!" Chen Manli scolded, "You have been studying with a professional master for several months. What if you hurt Xiao Yao? Xiao Yao came to Hong Kong Island to have a job and will have to pay tomorrow. Ah Yun is recording! I brought him to you, so that you took him out to play, not for you to punch him!"

"It's okay! I heard that he had learned martial arts when he was a child, and he was very skilled." Feng Junting waved his hand. "There have been news reports that he had caught a thief with a knife on the subway when he was in middle school, and he had subdued robbers when he went to the United States. The kidnapped gangsters can escape by themselves. It’s definitely easy to fight. The recording is for Shi Yun and he doesn’t need to sing by himself. Even if he suffers a small injury, it won’t affect his recording. I talked to Ah Yun last night. On the phone, she said that she had been with Xiao Yao for two days, and after going to Temple Street last night, Xiao Yao said that she had nowhere to go. Instead of this, she might as well fight a boxing game!"

"Then you can't force others to fight you!" Chen Manli said, turning to ask Xiao Yao, "What do you think? Justin's request is very unreasonable. If you don't want to fight, don't agree to him. You don't need to consider his face for this kind of thing. problem!"

   "I want to ask first, how long have you been studying? How many months are months? Do you learn boxing or fighting? And who is the master who taught you?" Xiao Yao did not answer, but asked Feng Junting.

"I learned to fight and can use my feet!" Feng Junting said, "I trained for three months before filming, and it has been two months since I finished filming. I have been training regularly before filming. The teacher is a professional fighter, and the current coach and sparring partner is the coach of this gym. He has also participated in professional fighting competitions before."

"Well, it's really a good choice to fight and loosen your muscles and bones." Xiao Yao pointed to another burly man on the ring, "but I don't want to fight with you. Is that your coach and sparring partner? I think Can you fight him?"
