    There was a heavy downpour for no reason. It disrupted many people's travel plans, and Xu Fei was one of them.  "Brother Fei, why don't we walk there? Anyway, Crown Cinemas is not very far from here. I heard that there is a screening room there that is the largest cinema in Hong Kong and even in Asia. I have long wanted to go there and have a look."  It's not his girlfriend, but her best friend.  Looking at his girlfriend Lin Qianqian who was wiping the wet hair of his best friend Xie Na who was unceremoniously sitting on the sofa in the living room, Xu Fei frowned at the heavy downpour outside the window and said with some hesitation: "It's raining so hard.  , It¡¯s still thundering outside, we¡¯d better wait for the rain to lighten up before going out. If you ask me, I won¡¯t go out today. Anyway, the movie is in theaters for a long time uh" Before he could finish his words, he could see his temper.  Xie Na, who was like Little Pepper, stared at him and looked at him dissatisfied: "That's the new movie of the great director Lin Xiaozhi, with more than a dozen powerful superstars joining the cast, the first collaboration between Fa Ge, Long Ge and Hua Ge, and it was not easy to do it."  I grabbed the tickets for the first movie, how could I not go" "Hey, hey, hey, I went to Debao Cinema to queue up to buy the tickets. Also, I have to go to work today, and I managed to get it half a month in advance.  I just started changing my shifts in exchange for a day's rest today, just to go to the movies with you two." Xu Fei rolled his eyes and couldn't stop complaining in his heart.  Of course, it was difficult for him to say this, but Xu Fei still asked angrily: "Say Mary, didn't Andy Lau, the one you are so obsessed with, not participate in this movie? Are you worried about these two days?" After blurting out these words,  Xu Fei knew he was going to be bad. When he looked up, he saw that not only Xie Na raised her eyebrows, but even his girlfriend Lin Qianqian rolled her eyes at him angrily. "We have obviously watched so many movies together. Brother Fei, don't you always say that you are the best?"  Do you admire Lin Xiaozhi? He is handsome, rich and talented. Although it is a pity that Hua Jai ??can make such a good movie, there is Fa Ge, Long Ge and Hua Ge.  Don¡¯t you want to see Brother Hua¡¯s first appearance on the screen? ¡°So, he doesn¡¯t understand the psychology of these star-chasers at all.  Although Xu Fei has become obsessed with watching movies because of several best-selling masterpieces by Lin Xiaozhi in the past two years, he is far less enthusiastic than these star-chasers.  He picked up the cigarette pack next to him and was about to smoke a cigarette. When he saw Lin Qianqian making a mouth gesture, he had no choice but to resist the urge to smoke.  As soon as she turned around, she took out her little unhappiness on Xie Na and said angrily: "Huang Rihua has also appeared in movies before, okay, it's just his first time to cooperate with Lin Xiaozhi." Xie Na raised her head and said, "Brother Hua used to only work in  He plays some minor roles in the movie. Don't you look forward to his cooperation with the great director Lin Xiaozhi this time? " "It seems that he will also play a supporting role this time." Xu Fei muttered, but in the end he did not say the words.  Xie Na is right. Huang Rihua is one of the few TV stars that Xu Fei likes. He is really looking forward to the sparks between him and the powerful director Lin Xiaozhi in the new movie.  Since Huang Rihua became popular in Hong Kong after starring as Guo Jing in "Legend of the Condor Heroes", he made a strong comeback in the past two years with "Intolerance".  In 1990, after his contract with HR expired, he left ATV because he was dissatisfied with the long-term soft ban imposed by H's top management. H was so frightened that H had to broadcast many old and new dramas starring Huang Rihua for four months, hoping to impress the audience.  It caused aesthetic fatigue and attempted to affect the ratings of his new ATV drama series after they were aired.  However, after Huang Rihua switched to ATV, he soon starred in the TV series "Still Watching Today" and "Skynet" produced by Wei Jiahui. Due to the turbulent decade, it was one of the few Hong Kong dramas that had not been introduced in the mainland. The ratings once reached a peak  , defeated other H dramas in the same period, and immediately gained a lot of popularity for ATV after it was released.  But for such a small screen superstar, he was very disappointed on the big screen.  Wong Ri-wa has participated in many movies since the 1980s, trying to move to the big screen like Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau and others. However, no matter whether he starred in costume films, modern films, action films or martial arts films, none of them could hand over a command.  People are satisfied with their results.  , From the initial leading actor in a movie to leading actor number two, number three, supporting role, and walk-on role, everyone has been moving up the ladder, but he has completely gone the other way. No wonder he has so many die-hard movie fans in Hong Kong.  People are looking forward to participating in Lin Xiaozhi's new movie this time.  Lin Xiaozhi now has a reputation as the best-selling commercial blockbuster director in Hong Kong, so even people like Xu Fei who are not very star-chasing can't help but expect it.  Looking at the non-stop heavy rain outside the window, Xu Fei glanced helplessly at the two women who were full of expectations. Seeing that there was only an hour left before the movie started, he sighed and got up and took out two umbrellas, "Forget it.  "Anyway, I've asked for leave today, let's go." "Long live" Xie Na cheered without looking like a lady at all. She jumped up from the sofa, picked up an umbrella from his hand, and then pulled up his daughter's hand.?Just walked outside.  Xu Fei, who was left behind, rolled his eyes helplessly, but in his heart he was thinking about introducing a boyfriend to this girl quickly, so as to prevent her from clinging to his girlfriend all day long and making his little life uncomfortable.  Driving on the road, looking through the car window at the pouring rain from time to time, Lin Xiaozhi, who had just returned to Hong Kong from Japan, did not feel depressed at all. Just looking at his fingers tapping on the steering wheel from time to time, you could tell that he was  I am in a freehand mood now.  There was no chauffeur from the house to drive him, nor was there any bodyguard accompanying him.  Lin Xiaozhi has not enjoyed this kind of freedom for a long time. Today, it was just him and Zhou Huimin, preparing to drive to the theater together to watch the premiere of "Assassin's League".  Since her due date is just a few days away, Li Jiaxin has recently been admitted to the intensive care unit of the hospital and is waiting to give birth accompanied by her sister-in-law, who is also several months pregnant.  If today was not the premiere of his movie, it would be absolutely impossible for him to leave at this time. After all, he had traveled to Japan for half a month before, and after returning to Hong Kong, he was taught a lesson by the old man and could not refute it at all.  The two people in the car were each thinking about their own thoughts, and the atmosphere in the car was suddenly silent for a while.  Zhou Huimin held a bouquet of roses that Lin Xiaozhi bought her when she passed by the flower shop just now. She sat in the passenger seat and turned her head slightly to look out the window.  Although she has become accustomed to today's life, only a small part of her beloved man's thoughts are on her. It is not surprising for a woman to feel disappointed.  Especially recently, Li Jiaxin has become the focus of the Lin family's care because she is pregnant with a pair of twins. Especially after the hospital examination revealed that there is a high chance that one of them will be a boy, almost everyone in the Lin family is surrounding her. On the contrary, she is the closest to her daughter Ping Ping.  She had suffered a lot of neglect, which inevitably made her feel a little depressed.  Lin Xiaozhi was also thinking about his own concerns. When he was in Japan, he once called the United States and asked about the filming progress of "Jurassic Park" as an investor.  Just as he remembered, "Jurassic Park" has officially started filming in Kauai, Hawaii, at the end of August this year. Considering that the filming efficiency in the United States is far less than that in Hong Kong, even a job like "Jurassic Park"  Movies that focus on post-production of CG and computer special effects will probably finish pre-production and enter the post-production stage by December at the latest.  If there are no accidents, the film will complete all filming in January and February next year, and then start post-production promotion, and will finally be released in North America and even the world during the summer of June and July next year, setting off an unstoppable wave of horror.  Dragon Frenzy,.  Although Lin Xiaozhi is one of the investors of this movie, if "Jurassic Park" is still as popular as it has been in history, it is conservatively estimated that it will bring him at least more than 200 million US dollars in revenue.  But he is not just an investor, he also owns Media Asia, the largest film group in Hong Kong and even Asia. It can be said that if "Jurassic Park" sells well in Hong Kong and even Asia, Media Asia will be the most affected.  Asia Group.  This also has no reason for him not to prepare in advance. After the release of "Assassin's League", he can no longer take a break before starting to develop new movies as he did in the past few years. He has to think about preparing new dramas non-stop now to compete with the upcoming movies.  The impact of that prehistoric beast.  What to make for a new movie? This is a question that needs serious consideration.  The general plot is based on the "Mission: Impossible" Red Alert, which has received a lot of response in Europe and the United States after its release a few years ago. Until now, there are calls from Hong Kong and even other places, hoping that he can start filming a follow-up series.  It's not like Lim Hyo-chi hasn't considered making a sequel. He even has the scripts for the subsequent installments of the original work in his mind. After reprocessing some of the best-selling elements of the same theme in later generations, I believe the sequel won't be too bad.  It¡¯s just that the second film will be much bigger than the previous one in terms of scenes and locations. Therefore, not only does it become more difficult to shoot, but many of the locations have to be shot in Europe and the United States. Judging from his experience, the production cycle is not  For more than a year, it¡¯s hard to catch up with Jurassic Park.  If "Resident Evil" can be filmed, there will be a lot of potential.  After all, the monster craze triggered by "Jurassic Park" has not yet arrived. Although the "Resident Evil" series follows the route of science fiction disaster movies, the zombie monsters created by viruses are inherently inferior to the dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park"  They have such a high acceptance rate, but in the eyes of the younger generation of audiences in this era, they still belong to the kind of crazy, cool and handsome existence, which can definitely attract those young audiences who pursue sensory stimulation to spend money to buy tickets and enter the theater to watch the movie.  .  But let¡¯s not mention that it was a stupid decision to immediately release the follow-up to ¡°Resident Evil¡± just after filming last year. It did not leave enough time for fans to reflect on the market so that word of mouth could spread.  Moreover, if you want to shoot "Resident Evil", there is actually another flaw that is difficult to avoid, and that is the special effects.  Unlike the previous film, which could make up for the shortcomings of special effects with hard technology through editing and acting, since "Resident Evil" there have been requirements for computer CG production and other technologies.?Too high.  This span requires more than a year, or even two years, to slowly create a database of zombie species, accumulate technology, etc. At least with the special effects technology that Media Asia currently has, it is not only very difficult to independently complete the production of "Resident Evil"  , time consumption, and production funds will exceed the budget, so we can only n. To compete with "Jurassic Park" on its own home court, it is obviously difficult for ordinary movies to do so.  Even though Lin Xiaozhi had many excellent scripts in his head, he was scratching his head for a while.  Debao-Crown Cinemas, as you can tell from the name, this is a theater affiliated with Debao Cinemas.  This was originally a three-story store in Causeway Bay under the name of Wing On Department Store. Due to the poor performance of Wing On Department Store in recent years and the impact of foreign supermarket chain giants entering the mainland north of Hong Kong, Wing On, as the former Japanese department store giant,  The department store had to put the place up for sale a year ago to raise funds, but Lin Xiaozhi took advantage of the low price and bought it for only HK$37 million.  After a huge investment of 30 million and a year of renovation and decoration, it has now transformed from the original hypermarket into Hong Kong's first large-scale cinema with 12 screening rooms and a total of 17 theaters.  I thought that if it rained, there would be fewer fools like me in Hong Kong.  However, after Chen Xiaochun got out of the taxi, he only glanced at the crowds of spectators waiting to enter the ticket hall on the first floor of Debao-Crown Cinemas. He couldn't help but put his hand into his pocket and held the movie ticket tightly, including the umbrella.  He didn't even bother to hold it open, so he ran anxiously in the heavy rain and rushed into this newly built cinema that was said to be only two months old.  The cold rain hit his cheeks and seeped into his clothes through the gap in the collar of his neck. However, this coolness could not extinguish Chen Xiaochun's fiery heart at all. He saw people in the hall skipping work and asking for leave regardless of the day.  Fans who came to watch Lin Xiaozhi's new movie "Assassins" listened to their familiar faces standing together and excited exchanges. Not long ago, the two promotional videos that were intensively bombarded on the screen were so cool. Jordan Chan  He just felt an uncontrollable heat surge up in his heart. He could guess without looking in the mirror that his face was red after all. Chen Xiaochun, who was born in mainland China in the late 1960s, was a Hakka.  When he was only 13 years old, faced with a poor family, he chose to drop out of school and follow his father to go south to Hong Kong to make a living. Due to lack of nutrition, Chen Xiaochun looked much younger than his actual age. He could not find a formal job and could only work at his father's house.  He did odd jobs at the construction site, and later followed the construction and decoration team to the construction site, doing the work of laying wooden boards. After the decoration task was completed, the decoration team withdrew from the construction site, and he had to lose his job.  After becoming an adult, Chen Xiaochun said goodbye to his parents and came to Causeway Bay alone.  He first worked as a waiter at a food stall, which didn't last long.  After several twists and turns, he worked part-time at a barber shop called "Blue Square" in Wan Chai for two years.  By chance in 1985, I heard that H was looking for a dancer. Because he had loved dancing since he was a child, and he also heard people saying that if he became a star, he would not only be famous but also make a lot of money. So he rushed to take the exam and finished dancing in the exam room.  After a few designated movements and free movements, the judges took a fancy to his flexible movements and appearance and admitted him on the spot.  At that time, dancers could receive a monthly salary of HK$700. The next day, Chen Xiaochun quit his job at the barber shop, signed a contract with H, and officially became a dancer.  However, although Jordan Chan joined the H Dance Artist Training and ended the training as an outstanding student, he entered the sub-group, and was recommended to Alan Tam, Anita Mui, Chen Baiqiang, Leslie Cheung, etc. as concert backup dancers, but he only danced for five years. After five years,  Although his salary is slightly higher than when he first joined the industry, he still earns the lowest salary in the industry and does the dirtiest and most tiring work.  So when ATV changed its owner two years ago and started poaching TVB-affiliated artists, he gritted his teeth and followed a teacher who had trained him in the past to switch jobs to ATV.  It¡¯s a pity that he, a small person at the bottom of the industry, can¡¯t change his destiny no matter where he goes.  He earned a slightly higher salary than TVB at ATV and worked anonymously for more than a year. Just when he began to wonder if he was not destined to be a star, he attended a celebration cocktail party for a certain movie at the end of last year.  When dancing with Alan Tam, he had the opportunity to sing a song by Principal Tan's "Flowers in the Water" in front of everyone because of Alan Tam's promotion. As a result, he attracted a well-known music composer in the industry, and he was also the boss of Star Factory.  After receiving the attention, he then invited Chen Xiaochun, Zhu Yongtang and Xie Tianhua to form the trio "Wind and Fire Sea", promising to package and promote him to fame.  Maybe it¡¯s time for me to pay off all my hardships. The ¡°Wind and Fire¡± group over there haven¡¯t made any big splash yet. Jordan Chan has encountered another good thing. ATV suddenly has a new boss, and he¡¯s also a famous one in Hong Kong.  Rich and wealthy young man, Lam Hsiao-chi, is not only a well-known director in the industry, but also owns Media Asia, the most powerful film group in Hong Kong.  After ATV experienced a brief period of turmoil at the beginning of the year, new boss Lin Xiaozhi quickly began to reveal hisCome with courage and means.  Not only does it continue to introduce a high salary policy for all employees of Fuze ATV, but its artists will also have the opportunity to star in movies after signing a new contract with ATV.  It is said that because of his bad-tempered face, the new boss Lin Xiaozhi took notice of him. He actually named himself and let Jordan Chan play a role in his new movie "Assassin's League".  The guy who was a colleague and good friend of the protagonist Yang Lin but cuckolded him.  Although this is only a small supporting role, and it is definitely not a role that the audience will like, Chen Xiaochun is still very excited.  Who in Hong Kong today doesn¡¯t know that working with Lin Xiaozhi has a future? Not only does his family have a bank, but he also owns the largest film group and ATV in Hong Kong. He is also the best commercial film director in Hong Kong. There are movies every year.  It was released in Europe and America and sold well.  For an artist like Jordan Chan who is at the bottom of the industry, if he can take advantage of this opportunity to establish a relationship with him, and at least become familiar with him, he might have the opportunity to continue to collaborate with him in the future.  In addition, he had another thought in his mind.  Who says small supporting roles can't be popular? A role like his that cuckolds the protagonist can leave a deep impression on the audience. I wonder if Jordan Chan can really take advantage of this opportunity to become famous. The more I think about it, the more I feel in my heart.  He was so anxious that he could not wait for the movie to start showing immediately so that he could see the audience's reaction and see what kind of movie he was participating in.  He didn't have to wait long. Soon, as the audio announcements hanging around the hall began, ticket checking for "Assassin's League" began. Chen Xiaochun quickly took the internal tickets he got from the crew and eagerly joined the queue waiting for the ticket checking.  Got hit.
