The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 404 The Gathering of Celebrities
For the reporters, after taking some pictures and then interviewing a few big directors, that's OK.

For the directors, if they came to Hong Kong Island in person, gave a speech on stage, read a [-]-word manuscript, and accepted an interview, then the task was completed.

As far as the above is concerned, all the directors get together and take pictures in a proper manner, and the reporters send it out, and everything will be fine.

For the Huaxia film and television industry, when directors from the three regions of the Taiwan Strait get together, they have nothing to do but check in.

When Lee Shing Yew finally came to the stage and gave a heartfelt speech, this time the film directors seminar from the three places across the Taiwan Straits came to an end.

There is no celebration banquet, and there is no follow-up link.

Most of the directors were interviewed by reporters and then left in a hurry.

Director Li was the same, he rushed to the hotel and had lunch with Dong Xuan.

In the afternoon, Li Shengyao accompanied Dong Xuan while wandering around Hong Kong Island, and received a call from Wu Jing, saying that he had opened a big box and invited Director Li to sing at night.

Wu Jing finished filming "The Raid 2" long ago, and he also found time to film other films.

"Raid 2" will be released in half a month, and he is mainly promoting the movie during this time.

Li Shengyao did not hesitate, and naturally agreed.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, Li Shengyao and Dong Xuan, who had already eaten, came to the KTV where Wu Jing opened the box.

This KTV is located on the edge of Victoria Bay, the decoration is very luxurious, it should be more expensive.

When the waiter pushed open the door of the box, he could see that there was already a group of people inside.

Wu Jing, Zhao Yanzi, Princess Wang, Liu Jialing, Brother Xiaoming, Jia Jingwen, Huang Zongze, and several strangers.

At this time, Liu Jialing was singing, her singing voice was average, amateur level.

Others sat drinking and eating.

Everyone is dressed casually and casually.

When Wu Jing saw Director Li, he immediately stood up to greet him.

The others got up one after another, and they also gave up two seats in the middle. Li Shengyao took Dong Xuan and sat down naturally.

"Director Li, have you eaten yet? You can order food here. If you haven't eaten, you can order a few dishes."

"No, I've eaten."

Wu Jing then introduced other people to Li Shengyao, and those strangers turned out to be executives of an entertainment company on Hong Kong Island.

"Director Li, you are an international director, if you have a good project, don't forget about us."

"Director Li, it's been so difficult recently, I still want to ask you for advice if I have the chance."

"Director Li, "The Hangover" is very good. I look forward to your next movie."

They have good things to say.

Li Shengyao smiled naturally.

After introducing the others, he sat down again, and Wu Jing then suggested that everyone make a toast to Director Li.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of glass clinking, everyone had a drink together.

No one said that Director Li was late and he had to punish himself with three cups.

No one said that Director Li was not authentic in drinking clean water.

Everyone knows the rules.

After having a drink together, the big guys started chatting.

On the other side of Dong Xuan sat the princess.

She was wearing a purple long shirt, paired with a pair of loose pants, and canvas shoes on her feet.

At this time, holding a wine glass, shaking his head, looking very casual.

Li Shengyao was a little surprised to meet the princess here.

At this time, the princess was married to Li Yapeng. In his impression, Li Yapeng was like a child who couldn't live without his mother, and he had to follow the princess in everything.

If he remembers correctly, the two couples are working on that foundation recently.

He is not a curious person, too lazy to delve into it.

Looking at Wang Hao, they both smiled and nodded, then turned their eyes away.

"Director Li, is Hong Kong Island fun?"

Wu Jing narrowed her small eyes, raised her head with a smirk.

"Okay."

"Do you want me to arrange it, to ensure safety."

People who don't know Hong Kong Island naturally think that this place is just for shopping, and it is cheaper to buy some imported goods.

People who know Hong Kong Island understand that the routines of Dong/Guan are learned from Hong Kong Island.

And it's more fun here, there are black girls, white girls, and Nanmei girls, and you can even ask teachers from island countries and girl groups from the peninsula.

Wu Jing is a loyal person, so he probably wouldn't lie to Li Shengyao.

Playing with Wu Jing is safer than playing with Prince Chen Bolin.

However, recently Li Shengyao stayed with Chen Xun and Dong Xuan, so he was not very interested in this aspect.

And this time he took Dong Xuan with him, he felt that going out to play at this time would disrespect Dong Xuan.

"No, it's fine now."

Wu Jing nodded, and he went on to say, "For food, I know a few good specialty restaurants, do you want to try them?"

"That's fine, take some time and send me the name and address."

"I'll just let someone take you there."

"No, it's awkward to have one more person, just the two of us playing comfortably together."

Wu Jing nodded, "Okay, I'll write to you later."

He then poured himself a glass of wine, clinked glasses with Li Shengyao, and then said, "Director Li, will "Raid 2" be released in the beautiful country this time?"

"Of course, don't worry, this time it will be bigger than last time."

"Raid 1" made money, and Li Shengyao later sent Wu Jing a big red envelope of 500 million.

But the money is not all, and more importantly, the increase in popularity has given many film and television production companies the illusion that Wu Jing can sell box office in North America.

Now Wu Jing's net worth has risen sharply, not only has the advertising endorsement increased, but the film salary has also increased, to 500 million.

There is a big gap in the remuneration of film actors in China, so Li Lianjie's asking price of [-] million is needless to say.

The top Liu Dehua earns 3000 million, while ordinary film actors, such as Liu Qingyun and Zhang Jiahui, even if they are the leading actors, their salary is only 400 million.

With "Raid 1", Wu Jing's salary has skyrocketed, which is already second only to Andy Lau's level. The salary is similar to Guo Fucheng, and he is considered a 1.5-level star.

This made Wu Jing very grateful to Director Li.

In fact, if Wu Jing finished playing "Raid 2" and then acted in several "Falling" movies such as "Angel Has Fallen", "London Has Fallen", "Olympus Has Fallen", etc., he should be able to accumulate enough popularity.

At that time, if you go to the beautiful country to shoot B-grade movies, you can be like Li Lianjie. If you are lucky, you may get a salary of 1000 million US dollars.

But at that time, the mainland film market should have risen, and Wu Jing could earn more in the mainland.

Wu Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and then raised his glass to clink glasses with Li Shengyao again.

He then said in a low voice: "Director Li, there are really fun things to do on Hong Kong Island, don't you want to try it?"

"no need."

At this time, Liu Jialing put down the microphone and came over with a wine glass, wanting to drink with Li Shengyao.

Liu Jialing has a good capacity for alcohol, and she even opened a nightclub in Shanghai. She is definitely a person who is well-rounded and can create atmosphere.

"Director Li, would you like to come and play, how about punching?"

Li Shengyao didn't drink alcohol, if he drank water, he would be bullying others, such punching is unfair.

He is not interested.

"No, you play, I'll sing."

He then stood up, intending to sing.

He came here this time to relax, and he didn't want to touch anything that needed to hurt his body, use his brain, or do it seriously.

Just as Li Shengyao picked up the microphone, Wang Hao also stood up and went to pick up another microphone.

She didn't seem to see Li Shengyao, just stood there quietly holding the microphone.

She is more than 1.7 meters tall, tall and thin, but she has a bit of temperament.

"What song are you singing?"

"up to you."

"Okay, let's sing The Internationale."

Li Shengyao then clicked the song.

He originally wanted to sing Jay's song.

But considering Jie Lun's song, the princess might not be able to sing it.

Considering the princess's age and hobbies, he guessed that the princess should be able to sing "The Internationale".

As for why Director Li wanted to accommodate the princess, of course he had to feel Ma Yun's feelings.

At the beginning, Ma Yun paid the princess to sing a chorus.

He didn't need to spend money, the princess took the initiative to come and sing.

At this moment, there was a burst of laughter from behind. It turned out that Liu Jialing, Zhao Yanzi and the others made a bet to see if Li Shengyao would order a song that the princess could not sing.

After the laughter, Liu Jialing picked up the wine glass and drank.

Wu Jing was also booing.

Li Shengyao didn't care, he was not an emperor, so he couldn't take a joke.

The melody of "The Internationale" sounded, and then Director Li let go of his voice and sang.

He's completely white-voiced, with no artifice, just emotion.

The princess sang along, also very casually, her voice was really unspoken, it was so nice.

A princess, and Zhang Shaohan, these two belong to the singers who the old man rushed to feed.

After a song, the princess nodded to Li Shengyao, then went back with a smile on her lips.

Li Shengyao continued to sing, this time he ordered Jay Chou's song - "Black Sweater".

While Director Li was singing, the people behind unexpectedly moved a mahjong table. Wang Hao and Liu Jialing sat down to play mahjong.

Wu Jing immediately asked Li Shengyao, "Director Li, do you want to play mahjong?"

"No, I don't know how to play."

When he was in college in his previous life, he occasionally played mahjong. His skills were mediocre, but he was lucky. He played with his classmates and never lost money.

Of course, this time he came here to relax, so he was naturally too lazy to play with his brain.

So Director Li sang, and the others either played mahjong or drank and chatted.

Dong Xuan was also pulled to the mahjong table.

Li Shengyao glanced at it, but didn't take it seriously, he believed that other people would not win Dong Xuan's money.

Just when Director Li ordered "Nunchuck", the microphone on the other side was picked up.

The person who came was a very young girl who seemed to be of mixed race, and she had the temperament of an island girl.

However, the facial features are more correct than the girls from the island country, and they look more pure.

Li Shengyao paused slightly when he saw someone coming.

This person is exactly my big baby. Although she has plastic surgery, she looks really good-looking when she is around 20 years old.

"Hello, Director Li, I'm holding it down, Baby."

Li Shengyao nodded, and glanced at Brother Xiao Ming behind him. Brother Xiao Ming was sitting behind Zhao Yanzi, watching playing mahjong and chatting with Wu Jing at the same time.

The big baby should have just entered the box, it seems that this woman really knows how to exploit.

"Hello."

"I'm also a Jay Chou fan."

The big baby looked at Director Li shyly, and then quickly turned his gaze away, like a girl who is not yet in love.

Da Baobao made her debut in 03, when she was only 14 years old, and followed that old bastard, Huang Baiming, and acted in a few female lead dramas, and then got in Xiaoming's car.

Such a woman is still shy, even a sow will climb a tree.

But her acting skills at this time are really good, much better than on the screen.

Li Shengyao nodded, but didn't say much.

With his current status, even if he took advantage of her and didn't honor it afterwards, the big baby probably wouldn't dare to say anything more.

But it's not interesting.

Although the big baby has a good-looking face, his figure is really poor, so there is nothing he wants.

Li Shengyao didn't want to touch it.

He then sang.

Big Baby is indeed a Jay Chou fan, she can also sing along.

After a while, Dabao put down the microphone, just when Director Li thought she was going to leave, Dabao came back with a glass of water.

"Director Li, drink water."

With pure eyes and a sweet smile, it's no wonder he can charm Xiao Ming.

Li Shengyao took the water glass, "Thank you."

He then sang, "Black Humor", "Track", "Quiet", and "All the Way North".

He sang very well, and he planned to go to the concert and sing for two hours when Jay Lun held a concert.

"Director Li, you are amazing, I am now your fan."

Every time a song is sung, the big baby will clap and applaud.

Li Shengyao held back his laughter, he knew his own level, that is, he was better than Tianshi Hua...

Hey, no, Master Hua has so many fans.

Isn't it normal for Director Li to have a few fans?
He sang for another half an hour, and then he sat down to rest. Only then did he notice that there were a few more celebrities from the entertainment industry, but they were all small stars.

The big baby sat down and said in a low voice: "Director Li, do you want to go for a massage? There is a sauna room and a massage room here. It will be ready in half an hour."

Who do you look down on for half an hour?
Li Shengyao smiled slightly, then shook his head, "No, it's too late, I'm going back to sleep."

He then came behind Dong Xuan, and sure enough, he saw two wads of money deposited in the small box in front of Dong Xuan's mahjong table, which should be thirty or forty thousand.

"Do you still want to play? If you want to play, keep playing, and I will lie down in it."

"Stop playing."

Li Shengyao then left with Dong Xuan.

The two left the box, Dong Xuan saw that there were no acquaintances before and after, opened the bag, and showed the money in front of Li Shengyao, with a smile on his face, "Look, I won more than 3 yuan."

"Wow, that's amazing."

"Let's go, eat hot pot."

Apart from nightclubs, KTVs, bars, and restaurants on Hong Kong Island, other shops generally close earlier.

It doesn't look as bustling as the mainland after nightfall.

But the hotel is still very conspicuous.

The two quickly found a hot pot restaurant downstairs in their hotel, and then ordered and ate.

Li Shengyao and Dong Xuan sat side by side, and after eating for a while, Dong Xuan saw that the corners of Li Shengyao's mouth were oily, so he took out a tissue and wiped his mouth.

"Brother, let me tell you something."

Dong Xuan suddenly said something.

"You said."

"I don't really want to take so many scenes anymore, I'm so tired."

Hearing this, Li Shengyao smiled and nodded, "Okay, I will greet them. If you want to work, you can work, and if you don't want to work, you can rest."

"I... I'm 29 this year." She looked at Li Shengyao nervously, but said, "I want a child."

Li Shengyao naturally understood what he meant, "Have you figured it out?"

"Think clearly."

"Okay, then let's work hard."

He then waved to the waiter, "Give me a catty of mutton slices."

Dong turned his head and smiled sweetly, and then gave Dao Li some food, "This is delicious and nutritious."
