"Movie director?"

  In the Wu family's mansion, Wu Shuqing asked his cousin curiously.

   At the end of dinner tonight, when the two sisters Wu Shuqing and Wu Shuhan were chatting daily, Wu Shuhan told Wu Shuqing about his encounter with a film director.

   "Yes, he said that his name is Li Peter, and he used to make films at Shaw Brothers, but now he plans to set up his own film company and shoot movies!"

  Wu Shuhan told Wu Shuqing briefly and clearly what Peter Li had told him.

  Wu Shuqing raised her eyebrows slightly after hearing this. She is not that familiar with the film industry, and the directors she knows are limited to those famous directors, and indeed she has never survived the name of Peter Li.

  Wu Shuhan asked Wu Shuqing curiously: "Sister, are there many cases like this in Xiangjiang? Someone asks you to make a movie while walking on the street?"

Wu Shuqing shook his head, and said: "It should not be many, but there are indeed such examples. I heard from friends before that every film company has its own scouts. If they meet someone with a suitable image, they will also invited them.

  By the way, Bai Xiaoman, the female star of Xiangjiang, was discovered by the great director Li Hanxiang on the street. "

   This is one of the few movie circle news that Wu Shuqing knows.

   "So it's like this. When I was in my hometown, I watched a movie. I didn't expect to be photographed by the director of the movie now!"

  Wu Shuhan felt that this was quite a miraculous thing.

Wu Shuqing said earnestly: "Little sister, since you don't want to work in the company at home and want to do something by yourself, we have no objections, but the film industry is quite chaotic, and there are many scouts, The director found someone to be an actor on the street, but at the same time, there were also many bad guys who used this method to deceive many girls.

  So you still have to seriously consider this matter! "

At that time in the coffee shop, Wu Shuqing knew what her cousin was thinking. After returning home, although she persuaded her many times, Wu Shuhan still had the same meaning. There are too many things to trouble Wu Zhande's family. If Wu Zhande even arranges work Yes, this will make Wu Shuhan feel particularly useless.

"Sister, let me go out for a while first, if I really feel that I have the ability, then you can let me go to the company to help you, otherwise, I am really worried about when and where to say Wrong words will have a bad impact on the company.”

  This is what Wu Shuhan said to Wu Shuqing at that time.

  Although Wu Shuhan wanted to prove that she could live in Xiangjiang, she was not a fool. Now that she heard what Wu Shuqing said, she answered seriously.

   "Sister, don't worry, although I am still not familiar with Xiangjiang, I am not a fool. In fact, when I saw Li Peter today, I felt that he was not as powerful as I said."

  Wu Shuqing smiled and asked, "Why do you think so?"

  Wu Shuhan analyzed: "Although I don't know what Xiangjiang's film industry is like, I think that if a person can succeed in an industry, then this person should be a very confident person."

Wu Shuqing couldn't help but nodded after hearing this. A successful person is supported by countless successful things. In this process, even a person who is not confident will definitely become more confident as he succeeds again and again. of.

"But the Li Peter I met today, apart from telling me a few words about the content of the movie script he created, he kept talking about how successful he was in the Hong Kong film industry. I think this is not in line with The standard of a successful person, a truly successful person, does not need to say so many things about his own success.

Because even if they don’t talk about it, their things have already happened, just like Chu Huan, he has been so successful, but I have never seen him take the initiative to talk about what he did before, and uncle Also, when educating us, it is about the hardships of starting a business, not the successful results”

  Listening to Wu Shuhan's description, Wu Shuqing couldn't help admiring his little sister for seeing things clearly, but when Wu Shuhan mentioned Chu Huan again, she felt a headache.

  Although she knew that there was nothing between Chu Huan and her younger sister, she always mentioned it, and it inevitably left an impression in her heart.

this is not good!

   "So, you don't believe that Peter Li?"

  Wu Shuqing asked directly.

Wu Shuhan nodded first, then shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "I don't believe it must be the majority, but I can't judge whether a person is really successful just because of my judgment, and I think whether it is doing There should be some difficulties in everything, and now the judgment of Li Peter may be the difficulty I need to face.

  If I give up one thing because of some difficulties, I may not be able to do anything in the future.

  So I still want to give it a try, after a few more contacts, maybe I will be able to fully judge who this person is! "

Wu Shuqing rubbed Wu Shuhan's head: "My little sister is still very smart, but Xiangjiang is still quite chaotic. You can see what happened on Nathan Road before that is the best explanation, so you must Be careful, you know?"

  Thinking of what happened that day, Wu Shuhan couldn't help but said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, Chu Huan appeared that day."

  Wu Shuqing: "."

Wu Shuhan didn't notice Wu Shuqing's expression either, and said with a smile: "But sister, don't worry, I will remember this time, if that Peter Li is really a bad guy, I will call him uncle, I think That Li Peter will definitely be scared!"

  Silly sister, is Chu Huan your father?

  But in the end, Wu Shuqing still didn't say anything. Although he was not familiar with Xiangjiang's movie circle, he could still find out some news if he asked his friends.

  After figuring it out, Wu Shuqing decided to ask a friend tomorrow if Peter Li is a well-known director.

  Next day!

Li Peter was sleeping, and then he heard the sound of his door being slammed, and Li Peter, who was lying on the bed, was shocked, and then he wanted to jump off the building even though he was only wearing a pair of shorts. It's so cruel, cutting off fingers at every turn, Li Peter doesn't want to become a nine-director director in the future.

  But just as Li Peter was moving, Lao Li's voice came from the door.

   "Peter, Peter, open the door!"

  Li Peter scolded the country unhappily, and then went to open the door.

   "What the **** are you going to do, people who don't know how to code all work at night?"

  Old Li didn’t care about Li Peter’s attitude, but said angrily: “Something happened, something big happened!”

   Li Peter was stunned for a moment, and said: "What? Your wife who had been away for five years came back with a three-year-old child and said that you are the child's biological father?"

   "Fart!" After Lao Li cursed, he directly patted the newspaper in Li Peter's arms and said, "You should read it quickly!"

   After speaking, he walked into Li Peter's room, opened the refrigerator, took out a can of beer, and drank it.

  Peter Li didn't care about Lao Li's behavior, but began to look at the "True News" in his hand.

   "Well, this Chu Huan is really rich. He bought one of the highest-selling newspapers in Xiangjiang."

   "Look at the entertainment version!" Lao Li leaned on the refrigerator and preached angrily.

  Peter Li found the entertainment page, and saw that there was a familiar yet unfamiliar four-panel comic on it!

I am familiar with it because when Chu Huan was fighting with "Oriental Daily", "Sing Tao Daily" and "Xinbao", such a four-frame cartoon appeared on "True Pao". What is strange is that this has been a long time ago. .

  Restraining his mind, Li Peter began to read the four-panel comics, and then his face changed.

  Cartoon frame one: In a dim room, under the light of a desk lamp, a man sits with his back to him, holding a pen in his hand.

Next to    is a paragraph of text: This movie is rubbish, I want to write bad about him!

The second comic: It’s still the man, this time it’s the front face, but still can’t see his face, because the man is lying on the table and fell asleep, and then there is a derivative picture on the top of the man, which is a man I dreamed that I won the best film director, and there were spotlights below, but the picture I imagined only had the upper body of a man and the trophy, and no human face!

   There is also a text next to it: I am indeed the best director!

The third cartoon: The man finally showed his face, but he was bald, squatting on the ground, like a dog, and there was a man in front, holding a script in his hand, the script was bone-shaped, and there were three big characters written: Fengyue Film !

The text next to    is: Sigh, come and eat!

  The fourth cartoon: The man is lying on the bed, touching the head of the Mediterranean, his eyes are blank.

The text next to    is: Dreaming again!

   "This, this, isn't this just scolding us?"

Since Li Peter wrote the script, the film critics naturally understood the content of the four-panel comics. This is mocking film critics like them. They have no chance to make films, so they will only hide in the dark and write some film reviews to criticize the film. A sense of presence.

  Especially during this period, film critics like them are attacking black and white images and Shaw Brothers' Fengyue films with all their strength.

   So who is publishing this four-panel manga now?

  Black-and-white images, Shaw Brothers is possible. After all, these two companies are the film companies that have produced the most romance films during this period. Of course, they are also the most criticized by them.

  The black-and-white images are the main ones, and their boss, Chu Huan, has already done this kind of thing before.

   Now it's just a practice again.

  Thinking of this, Li Peter is basically sure.

   "What do other people think?"

  Peter Li asked Lao Li.

Old Li leaned against the refrigerator, and said angrily: "What else can we look at? Everyone has already decided. In the next period of time, we will go all out to count movies with bad black and white images. Although they have only one hand in the Xiangjiang film industry Overshadowing the sky, but there is nothing we can do about it, this time we will guide the fans of Xiangjiang, so that the box office of black and white movies will be reduced by at least 50% in Xiangjiang."

  Obviously, Li Peter can think of the people behind the incident as black and white images, and other film critics can too.

   Now they have decided to join forces against black and white images.

  Hearing what Lao Li said, Li Peter immediately preached with righteous indignation: "That's right, there are many movies with stinky black and white images. This time we will show the black and white images. The status of us people in the Xiangjiang film industry."

Seeing that Li Peter had no objection, Lao Li said directly: "That is, whether a film's reputation is good or bad is entirely up to us to decide. Now that black and white images are doing this, they are asking for their own death. Let Shaw Brothers Catch up with them again!"

   "People, just don't be too arrogant. If you are too arrogant, it is easy to lose sight of reality, and even dare to provoke us. I really don't know what Fang Jianhui, who is in black and white images, thinks."

  Li Peter's quiet sermon.

   "Hmph, no matter what he thinks, it's nothing more than thinking that he has dominated the Xiangjiang film industry, and then he thinks that he can run amok."

  "If the sky wants to make it perish, it must first make it crazy. In my opinion, black and white images are not far from closing down."

   "It's long overdue!"

  After the two of them finished talking about this matter, Lao Li couldn't help asking when he saw that Li Peter was in a mess like a tree stand on the street.

   "Peter, the protagonist of this cartoon should be you, right?"

  Li Peter is a distribution of the Mediterranean, the sparse hair around it is not like a tree pool, and the one or two sparse hairs in the middle are just like a tree in the middle of the tree stand.

  Li Peter blushed suddenly, and said angrily: "Fart, didn't you see that in this cartoon, the protagonist has no hair in the middle? I still have several here!"

  Old Li suppressed his laughter and said seriously: "It seems to be true."

   Li Peter stroked his hair unnaturally, and then the few remaining hairs in the middle fell out

  After the two agreed on everything, they split up to contact the film critics they knew well, and prepared to count movies with bad black and white images.

afternoon!

  In the Melancholy Cafe.

   "Miss Wu, one day has passed, how are you thinking?"

   After contacting the film critics I know well, we agreed to start publishing comments on black-and-white videos in their respective columns tomorrow.

   After finishing the work, Peter Li came to the Melancholy Cafe. After he had finished talking about himself with Wu Shuhan yesterday, he made an appointment to meet today.

  Wu Shuhan sat there, looking at Li Peter who was still so ugly after washing up specially.

"Director Li, after I went home last night, I discussed it with my family. Everyone is very grateful to Director Li for asking me to be the heroine of your movie, but we want to read your movie script before making a decision. .”

   Li Peter was stunned for a moment, what kind of script did he have, he just wanted to use this opportunity to have **** with Wu Shuhan.

  But Li Peter definitely wouldn’t say that at this time, and said with a smile: “No problem, how about we discuss the script tomorrow at this time?”

  Wu Shuhan nodded and said, "Thank you, Director Li!"

   "Miss Wu, you don't have to be so polite with me!" Li Peter said with a smile: "By the way, Miss Wu, do you know about Taiwan's Golden Donkey Award?"

   After Wu Shuhan was invited by Peter Li yesterday, he did read some books about the film industry, so he naturally knew about the Taiwan Golden Donkey Award, "I know."

"My movie will be sent to the Golden Donkey Awards in the future. Miss Wu has such a good temperament, she will definitely be the Best Actress in the Golden Donkey Awards in the future. By then, Shu Han, you will be the best actress of the Golden Donkey Awards! "

   At the end of the talk, Peter Li had already changed his address to Wu Shuhan.

  Wu Shuhan noticed this, but didn't say anything. If he really wants to make a movie in the future, he and Peter Li can be regarded as friends, and the other party is even his Bole, just a title.

"By the way, Director Li!" Wu Shuhan was more concerned about the identity of Director Li Peter, and said: "I heard from Director Li before that you are planning to start your own film company, so if this is the case, who will you be in the next movie?" Are you planning to participate in next year's Taiwan Golden Donkey Awards in the name of your own company?"

  Peter Li was stunned. During the chat yesterday, this Beigu was a rookie who didn't know anything about the film industry, but now she knows so much?

"Haha, that's natural. Not only that, but I can also tell Ms. Wu one thing, that is, my movie has already received investment from Taiwan Island, so everything is ready for this movie now, just Shu Han you This is a shareholder wind!"

  The capital of Taiwan Island?

   This is a routine used by Xiangjiang Film Company, and Wu Shuhan didn't have too many surprises.

  Up to now, she still has no way to determine whether Peter Li is a real film director.

Seeing that Wu Shuhan was already playing the game and was persuaded by himself, Peter Li hit the iron while the iron was hot and said: "By the way, just now Shuhan you said that you want to read the script, and now the script is at my home, why don't you come home with me now, I will let you Read the script and explain the plot to you by the way."

  Back then, Sister Hua was like this. She read the script first, then talked about the plot, and finally played poker.

  Wu Shuhan showed a trace of vigilance. Last night, Wu Shuqing specifically confessed to himself that before signing a contract, he was determined not to meet Li Peter alone in a place where no one was around.

   "I don't think it's necessary anymore. How about tomorrow at this time, still here, Director Li, come over with the script, and I'll read it then!"

   Li Peter was slightly dissatisfied, why didn't this woman take the bait.

   "Miss Wu, do you not trust me?"

  Even the title has changed back.

  Wu Shuhan shook his head and said: "Of course not, I just feel that this is not good. If you don't want to, Director Li, then forget it, and let's pretend we haven't seen it!"

   After finishing speaking, Wu Shuhan got up and wanted to leave. For her, she really hoped to gain a firm foothold in Xiangjiang as soon as possible, but it didn't mean she had to risk her life.

  Because Wu Shuhan understands that if the result is really bad, he will ask his uncle for help in the end. In that case, not only will he not gain a firm foothold in Xiangjiang, but it will be the opposite of the independence he hopes for.

Li Peter was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Wu Shuhan to be so decisive, he quickly smiled and said: "Miss Wu, don't be angry, I will be here tomorrow, just watch here, then I will explain the content of the script and the idea of ​​this story to Miss Wu .”

  Wu Shuhan's vigilance has risen. Naturally, it is impossible to trust Peter Li so much anymore, but as Wu Shuhan said to Wu Shuqing last night, if he shrinks back when encountering a little difficulty, then he will not be able to succeed.

  Besides, there are so many people here, even if Li Peter wants to do bad things, he has no ability to do bad things, so he nodded, with a smile on his face, and said: "I'm sorry, Director Li, thank you, Director Li!"

   "Haha, why are Ms. Wu and I being so polite, we will be making movies together in the future!" Li Peter said with a smile.

  Wu Shuhan nodded.

  Next day!

  Peter Li got up early today, with a messy Mediterranean head, staggered out of his residence, and came to the newsstand downstairs.

   "Boss, a copy of "New Paper", a copy of "Film Biweekly"!"

   After speaking, he took out the money and put it in the box next to the newsstand. The boss found the newspaper on the newsstand, and handed a magazine to Li Peter.

  "News" is the newspaper where Li Peter wrote a column.

After meeting Wu Shuhan yesterday, Peter Li hurriedly wrote a column denouncing black and white images and submitted it to "New Daily". The media donated their own banknotes, but there was no other way, there was only one professional film magazine in Xiangjiang, and he had to take it if he didn't want to give money.

   "Director Li, don't read "Zhenbao", today's "Zhenbao" has big news!"

  The newsstand owner knew Peter Li, so he asked out loud.

   Isn't that going to send money to Black and White Media? Li Peter asked, "What big news?"

   "Hey!" The newsstand owner smiled, but he didn't tell Li Peter that there was any big news on the "Zhenbao", and the other party didn't buy it after telling him!

"Forget it, give me a share!" Li Peter took the money helplessly, and then comforted himself in his heart. He was not giving money to black and white media, but wanted to look at it with a critical eye. What a big move.

  The newsstand owner smiled and found a copy of "True Daily" and handed it to Li Peter.

  Brought two newspapers and one magazine, Li Peter returned to his apartment unsteadily, first went into the kitchen and cooked a bowl of noodles for himself, then returned to the dining table with the bowls and chopsticks, and opened the "New Newspaper"!

   Soon he saw his own column on "Newspaper". Although there was only a column and no "reply from netizens", Li Peter was still very happy and ate a few more mouthfuls of noodles for it.

  Looking at his impassioned words, Li Peter felt that he had seen those readers who were cheering for him.

   After having a good time, Peter Li originally wanted to open the "Movie Biweekly", but after thinking of what the newsstand owner said just now, he decided to read the content on "True Paper" first.

  At this time, Peter Li sighed in his heart. He was worried that there would be another four-frame comic on the entertainment section above.

   "Fortunately, no!"

   Li Peter was relieved that he didn't see the four-panel comic, but soon his expression changed, because there was indeed a big piece of news on it.

"According to this newspaper, "Film Biweekly" will cooperate with major film companies in Hong Kong, including black and white images, Shaw Brothers and other film companies, to jointly hold a film award belonging to the Hong Kong film industry and the Chinese film industry. It has now been confirmed. The name of the film award is the Hong Kong Film Awards"

  The noodles fell in Li Peter's mouth, but he didn't notice it, it just felt like he was watching a big joke.

  Peter Li opened the "Film Biweekly" in a panic, and found news about the Hong Kong Film Awards on it.

   "Fart, in the current environment of the Xiangjiang film industry, why should we undertake our own film awards!"

In Sister Hua Tea Restaurant, not only Li Peter and Lao Li are here this time, but also several other well-known film critics from Xiangjiang. .

  According to common sense, Xiangjiang's own film awards should make all film practitioners happy, but now these people are not happy.

Because whether it is in the introduction of the Film Awards in "Zhenbao" or "Film Biweekly", it is mentioned that this award will set up an organizing committee for the Film Awards, and the members of the organizing committee are completely It is composed of directors and actors from the Xiangjiang film industry.

   And these people will also be judges for the Film Awards!

  When writing here, these people are still acceptable.

But what they said next made them unacceptable. The Hong Kong Film Awards firmly do not accept those who have never made a film but claim to be film practitioners to join, because they say they are invincible in the world, but they are sloppy in doing usually.

   Anyone with a discerning eye can see who this is targeting!

   Isn’t it just them movie critics?

   "This is going to ruin the rhythm of Xiangjiang movies!" Someone said angrily.

   "Hmph, is Xiangjiang Movie still Xiangjiang Movie without us?" Someone echoed.

   "To make movies every day that only know how to pursue the box office is ruining the art of movies!"

   Seeing these people being impassioned here, Sister Hua at the bar curled her lips. If you are really doing it for the art of film, don’t just order a cup of milk tea alone!

  Bah, poor ghost!

   "Everyone, they must not succeed in this matter, otherwise, Xiangjiang Films will be ruined by these people!" Li Peter said loudly.

  Everyone nodded and said: "We must not let them succeed!"

As for whether Xiangjiang films will be ruined by the Film Awards, these people actually have no control over them. What they really care about is that there is no Film Awards now. authoritative identification.

  But now that there are film awards, these people are not authoritative.

how? Those big directors, great actors, the movies they selected are not as good as those selected by you people?

   These people can already imagine what kind of comments they will have after the Hong Kong Film Awards come out.

  So the Hong Kong Film Awards must never come out, even if they are going to come out, they must participate!

  Lao Li said helplessly: "Then is there any way for everyone to prevent the establishment of this Film Awards?"

   This question made the scene fall into silence.

  In the end, these people didn't come up with any good solution, so they dispersed.

   "Old Li, lend me your script!" Li Peter stopped Lao Li and said to him.

  Old Li asked, "What's wrong?"

"it works!"

   "Okay, but you have to keep it safe for me, I'm using this script to win the big prize!" Lao Li reminded.

   "Don't worry!" Peter Li said nonchalantly.

   After getting the script, Peter Li went to a mahjong parlor again. Today, Wu Shuhan must be taken down. If the script doesn’t work, then use the power of the club!

   Pay back one chapter first, and pay back slowly later. For the sake of Huangshan’s hard work, readers, please give Zhang a monthly ticket a refreshment~~
