Porcelain to Porcelain

The news that "Farewell My Concubine" won the International Film Critics Federation Award, the Best Screenplay Award and the Golden Palm Award at the Xana Film Festival soon made the headlines of major newspapers in Hong Kong. Soar to the international level.

Lu Ya was known as a movie queen in Hong Kong City before, and her salary was claimed to be tens of millions, but in fact it was false. Investors usually only give Asian-level film salaries, which is 600 million.Because Lu Ya played Juxian, the film won the highest film award in the world, and she was paid tens of millions of yuan. This made another Hong Kong actress who rejected Juxian regret it.

Besides this actress, there was another person who regretted it too much, and that was the manager of Star Cinema.The theater manager stood in front of Du Yuanming, the president of Xingchen, and was so trained by Du Yuanming that he couldn't lift his head.

In addition to Du Yuanming and the theater manager, there are also Du Yuanming's second and fourth sons Du Zhiwen in the office.

"What on earth are you thinking? You actually arranged the company's new film on the same schedule as "Farewell My Concubine"?" Du Yuanming threw a financial report on the manager's face. "Look, how much has the company lost in the past half month?"

The manager picked up the report form from the ground, and quietly glanced at Du Zhiwen, who was expressionless.

"What did I tell you when filming for "Farewell My Concubine"? I asked you to arrange a full-day schedule as much as possible. It's better for you to arrange a film that was shortlisted for the Xana International Film Festival in the morning and late night." Du Yuanming was almost Pointing at manager nose lesson.

The manager gritted his teeth and took the responsibility: "President, it was my negligence. I underestimated the box office appeal of "Farewell My Concubine"."

"You can take this responsibility?" Du Yuanming blushed with anger.

Before "Farewell My Concubine" was released in Hong Kong, Zhou Hongxun specially greeted Du Yuanming. Du Yuanming also agreed to postpone the release of his company's new film to make way for "Farewell My Concubine" to arrange a full-day slot. In the end, he ordered it to go down, but his subordinates made their own decisions At the same time, the company's new film was released, and "Farewell My Concubine" was ranked before 10 am and after 22 pm when the attendance rate was particularly low.

If only Star Cinema screens "Farewell My Concubine", even if "Farewell My Concubine" is extremely exciting, Star Cinema will only lose operating income.The theater manager is insane and is arranging for the company's new film to compete with "Farewell My Concubine".

The investment of Star Company's new film is more than 2000 million. If there is no particularly popular blockbuster to compete with it, the cost will definitely be recovered in Hong Kong.As a result, "Farewell My Concubine" attracted the attention of audiences in Hong Kong City. During the prime time, movie fans went to cinemas other than Star Company to see Cheng Dieyi.However, when "Farewell My Concubine" was showing in Xingchen Cinema, audiences sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and the attendance rate reached [-]% to [-]%.

The box office report was sent to Du Yuanming, and it was predicted that the box office of the new film would be up to 600 million.The schedule was not arranged properly, Zhou Hong was not asked about face, and the company's new film suffered huge losses. How could Du Yuanming not be angry, how could he not be angry.

"President, I have already taken remedial measures." Cold sweat broke out on the theater manager's forehead.

The manager is Du Zhiwen's man, and his younger brother's confidant is deflated. The second son Du was very happy, and hinted: "Manager Xu, do you have any difficulties? If you have any difficulties, tell them, and my father will deal with them fairly."

The theater manager glanced at Du Zhiwen, Du Zhiwen was sullen, staring down at the floor to study the tricks.

"No, I made it up on my own. I'm sorry for the company." The theater manager gritted his teeth and took all the responsibility.

Du Yuanming has four sons. The eldest has no interest in the family business. He studied medicine at university and studied abroad, and later became a doctor abroad.The second, third and fourth children all entered the stars after graduating from university.Among them, the most capable is the fourth brother Du Zhiwen, who is also Du Yuanming's successor in his heart.

The theater manager knew that he would be punished this time. Du Zhiwen was Du Yuanming's appointed future successor, and now he wanted to betray Du Zhiwen. Du Yuanming and Du Zhiwen were father and son. However, if he loses the trust of the current president and offends the future president at the same time, then it will be a bad thing.

Du Yuanming sighed: "Manager Xu, you have caused the company to lose 2000 million this time. It is unjustifiable not to punish you. Your manager position can only be removed..."

The theater manager looked gloomy.

"Dad, Manager Xu is also an old employee of the company." Du Zhiwen stood up suddenly and said, "I think we should transfer Manager Xu to Southeast Asia."

The position remains the same, but the substance is lowered, which can be regarded as a punishment.

"Father, isn't the fourth child's treatment too light?" Second Young Master Du objected.

Du Zhiwen retorted: "Second brother, our Du family can't chill the hearts of the old employees! We can't not give a chance to correct mistakes."

"Okay, Manager Xu, you hand over the affairs in your hands and go to Southeast Asia next month."

President Du glanced at the second son, and felt that the second son was too small-minded and not suitable for great things. Compared with the second son, the fourth son was much more generous.

"Thank you, President, for your leniency." The theater manager heaved a sigh of relief.

In front of the president's office, Second Young Master Du snorted coldly at his younger brother: "Fourth brother, you are amazing, you can always find a substitute."

Du Zhiwen looked innocent: "Second brother, why do you always misunderstand me?"

Second Young Master Du pointed at his younger brother: "Just pretend, I think you can pretend for the rest of your life, and dad will see your true face clearly one day."

The Second Young Master Du is disgusted, this fourth brother is sinister and gay, and his father is always deceived by him.

Du Zhiwen said lightly: "You have evidence, just tell Dad."

Second Young Master Du fell silent, turned around and left bitterly, he really couldn't catch his younger brother.

The theater manager approached Du Zhiwen: "Mr. Du, I won't work in Southeast Asia until I retire, right?"

Du Zhiwen glanced at the theater manager. "Don't worry, I will try to transfer you back to Hong Kong for up to two years."

The theater manager was relieved, and left with great gratitude. When Du Zhiwen took the helm, he would definitely use him again.

Although Du Zhiwen kept his confidant, the theater manager was replaced by the second young master Du.Du Zhiwen felt that the substitution this time was his father's warning to him, so he had to be more cautious in his actions afterwards.

After the Cannes Film Festival ended, Lu Qiu was in no hurry to return home and stayed in Paris for another two days.During the two days, the film distribution rights in some regions were sold, and at the same time, they also participated in a banquet held by European film celebrities.

At the banquet, star directors from Europe and the United States gathered together.Lu Qiu with an oriental face was the most eye-catching figure at the banquet, and many people took the initiative to get acquainted.

Lu Qiu really felt the unrestrained enthusiasm and the beastly clothes. During the banquet, he received more than ten hints from men and women, his buttocks were sneaked five times, and he was almost blocked by a drunk when he went to the toilet.

Just when Lu Qiu wanted to say goodbye to the host of the banquet, someone patted him on the shoulder.

"Autumn!"

Lu Qiu turned around quickly, he was afraid that someone would pinch his ass if he turned around too late.

"Qiu, you are so sensitive." Zach Job, winner of Best Actor at the Xana Film Festival, bared his white teeth at Lu Qiu.

Zach Job is nearly 1.9 meters tall, has a sculptural and delicate appearance, and exudes a seductive and sexy atmosphere.If Lu Qiu is an Eastern masterpiece, Zach Job is a Western masterpiece.

"Hello, Zach!" Lu Qiu was also dazzled by Zach.

"Qiu, have you ever thought of developing in Hollywood?" Zach Job is a Greek-American, and the award-winning film was shot in Italy.

"Not yet." Lu Qiu shook his head. "Are you going to Hollywood?"

"Yes, there are more opportunities in Hollywood." Zach Job nodded. "I hope to have the opportunity to work together, your Cheng Dieyi is so beautiful, you are the god in my heart."

Zac Job's blue eyes are like the sea, constantly shooting magnetic waves at Lu Qiu.

"There will be opportunities for cooperation." Lu Qiu looked at Zach Job as if looking at a vault.Excellent appearance and excellent acting skills, this is the natural favorite of God.

With a smile on the corner of Zach Job's mouth, he toasted Lu Qiu with a toast with one hand, and stuffed a business card into Lu Qiu's suit pocket with the other.

"I'm not leaving Paris until the day after tomorrow."

"I'll go back to China tomorrow." Lu Qiu had already bought a plane ticket.

Zach Job raised his eyebrows, and suddenly leaned close to Lu Qiu's ear, and said softly: "Qiu, there is a hotel room address on the business card, I hope I can spend a good night with you tonight."

Lu Qiu froze, being molested again!There are so many homosexuals abroad.

No matter how sexy Zac Job was, Lu Qiu was not interested in him either. After vaguely declining, he bid farewell to the banquet host and dragged Shep away in a hurry.

"Lu Qiu, why are you leaving so early? The later the banquet, the more exciting the programs will be." Xie Pu is a bit wretched, and the sexy beauties at the banquet will be very unrestrained after drinking and drinking, and the chance of an affair is extremely high.

"Are you going to betray Mistress?" Lu Qiu said angrily. Mistress is Xie Pu's wife.

Xie Pu stroked his chin, and said with his tongue open: "Men, it's okay to relax occasionally. There is a saying that goes through the intestines of wine and meat, and the Lord Buddha will keep it in your heart. Your wife is the Lord Buddha in my heart. Those flowers and plants are all It’s wine and meat, it’s gone if you put it through the ileum.”

Lu Qiu felt regretful. He always thought that in the entertainment circle, Xie Pu was a self-contained flaunt, but he didn't expect that he still had the heart to play on the spot.

The scene of Lu Qiu's return to China was very exciting. Many reporters and fans came to the airport to greet him. Fortunately, Mr. Tian arranged security in advance, so Lu Qiu was able to escape.

This time, Zhou Hongxun did not dare to show up at the airport, nor did he appear at Huacheng Film and Television Company.Huacheng Film and Television Company held a celebration reception.At the celebration reception, many reporters gathered around Lu Qiu and Xie Pu to interview.

Reporter: "Lu Qiu, can you tell us the name of the friend in the Xana Film Festival acceptance speech?"

Lu Qiu: "Yes."

The reporter looked excited: "Who is it?"

The domestic media are all guessing the name, and quite a few think it is Zhou Hongxun.A lot of news showed that Lu Qiu was favored by the big boss of Feixun Company.

Lu Qiu: "He is my manager Wang Gui."

The reporter looked terrified: "The thing you want to thank the most is your agent?"

Lu Qiu looked sincere: "Brother Wang gave me the opportunity to be on the screen." In front of many cameras, Lu Qiu told Wang Gui that he rushed back to Shanghai overnight to find him to go to Wuxi to audition for the role of Qiuming.

Xie Pu saw that Lu Qiu had almost said it, and stepped forward to announce that in April, Huaying will start filming the new film "The Love Between Humans and Ghosts".Lu Qiu will lead the leading role as the male lead, and the female lead and supporting male roles have yet to be determined. There are not many actors under the name of Huacheng Film and Television, and the casting will be done outside the company.

As the news spread, the reception of Huacheng Film and Television Company became extremely busy.

After the reception, Lu Qiu got rid of his stalking and drove back to the cohabitation apartment. When the door opened, Zhou Hongxun sat on the sofa in the living room with a sullen face.
