Chapter 673: Chapter 624: Strongly Promote
Although the new play perford very poorly, Liu Hun still had no thoughts of giving up, and planned to continue supporting the creative work of newcors.
“Liu Ge, this new play has been a total loss,” Jiang Fengqin said to Liu Hun while holding the report from the new play.
Liu Hun shook his finger and said, “Not a total loss!” Then he explained, “What we lost is only money, and not a lot at that! Training new talents, testing out theater chains, all of these require investnt, not just re completion before we can make money.”
Regarding Liu Hun’s words, Jiang Fengqin could only nod her head. As the director of personnel organization, she didn’t really understand the rest and was rely considering the matter from the standpoint of the figures and account books, which did not look too good.
“Oh, right! There’s a script here that I think is pretty good. I showed it to a few directors, and they all expressed interest,” Jiang Fengqin suddenly said, then handed a script to Liu Hun.
“Let take a look!” Liu Hun said, flipping through the script for half an hour then suddenly laughed, “Isn’t this style a bit too exaggerated? I feel like I have never seen it on TV before.”
“Exactly!” Jiang Fengqin said to Liu Hun, “It’s indeed a style that has not appeared before, so I think if we can shoot this script well, it will definitely cause a sensation, which will help us close the gap with Bao Li! However…”
“However what?” Liu Hun, seeing Jiang Fengqin’s hesitation, asked.
“So directors are indeed interested in shooting it, but almost all of them don’t have a male lead they are satisfied with,” Jiang Fengqin told Liu Hun.
“What do you an? These directors feel that all the male stars can’t handle the role?” Liu Hun asked carefully.
“Umm… To be more exact, they all believe that male actors who are typecast and famous will find it difficult to shake off their past images to play this role well. But if we were to use a newcor, there isn’t a suitable choice available at the mont,” Jiang Fengqin explained the current difficulty to Liu Hun.
“I actually have soone in mind,” Liu Hun told Jiang Fengqin, already thinking of soone.
“Who?” Jiang Fengqin asked.
Instead of answering, Liu Hun took out his phone and dialed a number, waited a mont, and then spoke into the phone, “Zhou Xingxing, it’s , the insurance salesman.”
“I was just about to call you! I got my film pay! I’m loaded! How about we go have a al?” Zhou Xingxing said on the other end of the phone.
“Sure, but I’m picking up the bill. First, though, you have to co to Imperial City Headquarters,” Liu Hun told Zhou Xingxing.
“Wow, impressive! You’re even selling insurance at our company now. Wait for ; I’ll be right there!” Zhou Xingxing said before hanging up.
Half an hour later, Zhou Xingxing appeared at the doorway to Jiang Fengqin’s office and saw Liu Hun sitting there grandly across from Jiang Fengqin, which gave him so doubt.
“Zhou Xingxing, let introdu…” Jiang Fengqin stood up, ready to introduce Liu Hun to Zhou Xingxing, but Zhou Xingxing suddenly interrupted her.
“General Manager! If my brother has caused any offense, I hope you will be forgiving! Please forgive us!” Zhou Xingxing thought Liu Hun had done sothing wrong and quickly apologized to Jiang Fengqin.
“Strong loyalty! And great expressiveness! The leading role could belong to no other!” Liu Hun laughed as he stood up from the sofa and then handed his business card to Zhou Xingxing, “Let’s get reacquainted. Liu Hun, Chairman of Imperial Entertainnt Group!”
“Oh…” Zhou Xingxing’s mouth instantly ford an “o” shape.
Seeing Zhou Xingxing’s exaggerated expression, both Liu Hun and Jiang Fengqin couldn’t help but laugh.
The film “Gambling Saint,” produced by Imperial Entertainnt Company, swept the entire Hong Kong cinema circuit, the movie that only invested ten million raked in box-office receipts of thirty-four million, making Zhou Xingxing a hot male star of the Hong Kong entertainnt industry, leaping from a re background actor to stardom. anwhile, the female newcor whom Imperial City was promoting, Zhang Min, saw her value soar, becoming everyone’s darling and causing countless n to fall head over heels.
As the box office numbers soared, various dia, newspapers, and magazines couldn’t stop praising “Gambling Saint” and the two newcors. Even the majority of the notoriously critical film critics gave positive and upbeat reviews. All this made Liu Hun and Imperial City look forward to a grand event that would elevate Zhou Xingxing, Zhang Min, and Imperial Entertainnt Group to new heights – the Hong Kong Golden Image Award!
The Hong Kong Golden Image Award ceremony took place at Le Bai Theater, and this year’s award ceremony was particularly noteworthy and eye-catching due to the participation of Imperial Entertainnt Group.
All Hong Kong dia had arrived early at the entrance of Le Bai Theatre, setting up their long and short caras, choosing the best spots, and just waiting for the stars to make their entrance.
The glamorous red carpet stretched all the way to the signature boards where the stars would sign. And the two hosts from Zhongxing dia, Lin Baoyi and Tian Qinan, had been promoted.
The two hosts playfully teased each other outside the venue, enlivening the atmosphere when suddenly all the reporters turned their caras away from the hosts and swiveled toward the end of the red carpet.
“Here they co! Here they co! Dehua and Shun Yun are here!”
“You’re blocking ! Make so room! I can’t get the shot!”
“That dress is gorgeous! Shun Yun being the first to appear really makes a statent!”
“…”
Click-click-click, the reporters jostled each other, chattering while rapidly pressing their shutters. As the first couple to appear, the pair naturally garnered the most attention.
“Welco! Welco! Welco, Dehua! Welco, Shun Yun!” Lin Baoyi imdiately said with a smile into the microphone.
On the red carpet, the two walked slowly, waving to the screaming fans and dia reporters, and at the end of the red carpet, they stopped to strike a few poses for the dia to snap away.
“Wow! Shun Yun, your gown is so stunning today!” Lin Baoyi exclaid with surprise and exaggeration.
“Thank you! Thank you!” Shun Yun quickly responded with a smile, thanking them. She had an understanding with the hosts, where the back-and-forth was nothing but courteous pleasantries.
“Dehua is looking handso today, too! Even though n’s suits seem to look quite similar, Dehua has worn his with a distinct flair today,” Tian Qinan also lavished praise on Dehua.
“Not at all! Not at all! I’m just a foil to set off the beauty of the three ladies,” Dehua complinted the three won with a smile.
After the two stars made their appearance, it was followed by a procession of popular or less-known Hong Kong actors, even newcors in the business, as well as various directors, screenwriters, and so bosses who liked to join in on the fun, all making their way onto the red carpet.
Liu Hun had high expectations for this Golden Image Award ceremony but still wanted to be just an observer. Due to the delays from South Korea, by the ti so stars had already finished their walk on the red carpet, Liu Hun was just sitting in the car on his way to the Le Bai Theatre.
“Liu, let’s take Milton Road, it might be a bit faster that way. It’s a bit of a detour, but we won’t hit traffic,” Wang Laizi said while driving.
“Sure!” Liu Hun nodded, glancing at his watch. Jiang Fengqin and her group of producers must have made their appearance by now. With Fengqin’s enchanting looks, she was sure to steal the spotlight as soon as she arrived. Therefore, Liu Hun had arranged for her and the production team to appear together, while he had Zhou Xingxing and Zhang Min appear together to avoid stealing the newcors’ thunder.
Having received an affirmative, Wang Laizi imdiately steered the steering wheel in a different direction. Though they were on a one-way street, the traffic flowed smoothly, saving them a lot of ti.
“Liu, we’re almost there!” Wang Laizi said excitedly. He could already see the shining lights at the top of Le Bai Theatre. He was even more eager to see the stars that he had only seen on television.
“Screech,” Wang Laizi slamd on the brakes. Le Bai Theatre was just up ahead, not far away, but there was no traffic behind, and a vehicle had blocked them in front.
“What’s going on?” Liu Hun asked Wang Laizi.
“It looks like there’s been a traffic violation up ahead. Just wait here; I’ll go check it out,” Wang Laizi said as he jumped out of the car, not particularly intimidated in his Bugatti Veyron.
“Please step out of the car and show your ID and driver’s license! Thank you for cooperating!” the female traffic officer stopped the BMW sports car and tapped the window to speak to the person inside.
“Squeak squeak squeak…” The window of the BMW sports car rolled down, revealing a heavily made-up face to the female traffic officer and Wang Laizi.
Wang Laizi couldn’t help but be surprised at the sight; the person sitting in the BMW was none other than the pillar of Bao Li, the popular actress **** Qi.
