"Why?" Chen Manli said strangely, "the golden image award is a very important award. If your film quality is acceptable, we will at least help you win the nomination of best new director, which is very good for your future development. Besides, I heard that you came to Hong Kong Island this time to find art directors. There are not only good art directors in Hong Kong Island, but also many excellent filmmakers and actors. If you cooperate with us, we can certainly upgrade your films to a higher level. "

Through the conversation with Yang Shiyun last night, Xiao Yao already knows that Chen Manli is interested in her own film project. But what Xiao Yao didn't expect was that the other party actually took the Hong Kong Island golden statue award to say something.

Like the Hong Kong Awards of previous generations, the world's awards are also awards that set regional barriers on the criteria for shortlisting. Just now Xiao Yao said that the three entry conditions are the same as those in previous lives.

This is a very localized award. In recent years, there are very few new talents in Hong Kong Island's film industry. Not only are there very few outstanding young film actors, but also very few outstanding new local directors. If YH's full support, Xiao Yao is really likely to win the best new director award as a mainlander. But the problem is that Xiao Yao doesn't care much about this award at all.

In the golden age of Hong Kong Island Films 30 or 40 years ago, this award was still very important. But now, the film industry on Hong Kong Island has long been different from before. In the past, some people talked about the topic of "Hong Kong Island movies are dead". They are concerned about whether Hong Kong Island movies are dead or not. Now they don't even have the heart to talk about it. This award has almost become a kind of entertainment for Hong Kong people under the guise of "local spirit". In terms of influence and attention, it can not be compared with before.

Is it because the box office of her two films is high that Chen Manli thinks she should pursue awards now? But the question is, even if you want to pursue awards, as a mainlander, you are not without fame abroad. Will you pursue an award for Hong Kong people to entertain themselves? Or did she know that when she came to Hong Kong Island to find art directors this time, she felt that the filmmakers in Hong Kong Island were better than others?

It is said that in the past, when Hong Kong Island filmmakers went to the mainland to make films, their pay in the production group was higher than that in the mainland. Although in recent years, with the development of the mainland market, this situation has basically disappeared, judging from Chen Manli's tone, it seems that the sense of superiority in the hearts of Hong Kong people has not disappeared.

Of course, Xiao Yao thinks so, but he won't say it directly in front of Chen Manli. After all, it's a cooperative relationship with YH now. Chen Manli just thinks that the Golden Awards have weight. Hong Kong Island filmmaker Niu doesn't mean to attack or belittle himself or mainland filmmakers. Xiao Yao doesn't need to be a fool to offend people.

"Sister Mandy," Xiao Yao said, "my movie is about a remote and poor village in the northwest arid area. It's totally different from the style of the gold medal. As for actors, I don't think any of them are suitable for Hong Kong Island actors. In this movie, I don't plan to hire another dubbing actor, all of them should use the original voice of the actor. Without acting skills, many people can't pass the language barrier. "

"Of course, I know that your company has also signed some young actors from the mainland," Xiao Yao continued, "but it's impossible for such a person to let you, the director level figure, come forward to help them get roles in person, isn't it? If these people are interested, they can participate in the audition of casting company like others. I can tell you the company responsible for casting my film. "

"No, I know which company is helping you with your casting." Chen Manli waved her hand, looked at Xiao Yao and said, "it seems that there is no possibility for us to cooperate this time?"

"I hope we can cooperate next time!" Xiao Yao nodded.

"That," Xiao Yao said tentatively after seeing Chen Manli's silence, "tonight, according to the original plan?"

"Oh," said Chen Manli, laughing and nodding at Xiao Yao's question, "of course! Although the film did not have the opportunity to cooperate, you also produced two songs for our company's singers, oh no, three songs, or our guests and partners, of course, we still want to invite you to dinner to express our thanks

"It's very kind of you. Thank you first." Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"By the way, Mandy," Xu Wenxiang interjected, "it's still early. Xiao Yao has nothing to do in the afternoon. Do you have any programs for him?"

"Arrange the program," Chen Manli looked at Xiao Yao and said with a deliberate smile, "how about having a party for you? How about getting you a yacht, getting some people to go out with you, and having a swimsuit party at sea? Many stars and rich people on Hong Kong Island like to play like this

"No offense," Xiao Yao waved his hand with a smile. "I've been in EVA's swimsuit special. Can the person you're looking for compare with EVA's model?"

"Yo, EVA's models, they're all world-class supermodels." Xu Wenxiang said with a smile, "little guy, the grade is not low!"

"Is it because of the model level, or because there is a girlfriend, dare not mess?" Chen Manli smiles.

"Whatever you think is good." Xiao Yao laughs, "it's no shame to be afraid of your wife!""Well, I'm kidding." Chen Manli said, "if you're free this afternoon, I'd like to introduce someone to you. Don't worry, it's a boy. He is one of my artists. He is about your age. He should be able to play with you. He's from Hong Kong Island. I'll let him accompany you in the afternoon. I don't think he's worse than the tour guide of a Yun. "

"Is Feng Junting your artist?" Xiao Yao asked.

"How do you know?" Chen Manli was surprised.

"You say it's your male artists who are about my age," Xiao said with a smile. "I'll try to guess from the most famous one! To be arrogant, with my reputation, you should not introduce me to a new person who is not famous in the company, right

"What do you think?" Chen Manli asked.

"Good," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "they are all in the entertainment industry. It's good to know one more friend!"

Feng Junting, 29, is a native Hong Kong male artist. He is one of the young artists from Hong Kong Island who has shifted his focus to the mainland earlier. He has developed well. He has cooperated with many well-known Huadan actors in the mainland and has a high reputation in the mainland.

Although he doesn't know Feng Junting in private, Xiao Yao still has a good feeling for him. With the resources of YH company, it's not difficult to bring out an artist who is very famous in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places. Xiao Yao's good impression on Feng Junting is mainly his appreciation of his own strength and working attitude.

At the age of 18, Feng Junting made his debut through a talent show on Hong Kong Island. He became a singer in his early days and then turned into an actor. At present, he is developing in an all-round way in film, television and song. Feng Junting can sing and dance, and his acting skills are passable. He has a high face value. He is an excellent artist with both face value and strength. He can be regarded as one of the best young artists on Hong Kong Island in recent years.

Xiao Yao remembers reading a report that Feng Junting didn't use a stand in when he was making an action movie. He jumped down from the third floor in person. He worked very hard and devoted himself to filming. Although this kind of thing is natural for Xiao Yao himself, considering the current entertainment environment, some well-known young actors under the age of 30 can persist in doing so, which is enough to win Xiao Yao's favor.

If it wasn't for Feng Junting's poor Mandarin and his rapturous Cantonese speaking, Xiao Yao would have thought of asking him to try the role of Zhou Tienan, a PE teacher in donkey gets water. Now that Chen Manli wants to introduce Feng Junting to him, he will not refuse.

"Well, I'll call first and ask where he is." Chen Manli said, "he has a rest today. He must be free. But because you are recording today, I don't know when you will record it, so I didn't ask him to come to the company. I was going to call him at dinner and introduce him to you. "

"Do as you please!" Xiao Yao waved his hand.

"Just a moment!" Chen Manli said hello, took out her mobile phone and went outside to make a phone call.

Xiao Yao didn't care. He chatted with Xu Wenxiang casually to kill this boring time.

"Xiao Yao, Justin, he's, oh, Junting. He's in a gym in central now." Chen Manli, who came back from the phone call, said to Xiao Yao, "that's the city center. There are many places to play, and it's more convenient to go anywhere. Why don't we go to his side directly? So that you will not have to run out when he comes back. "

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded.

"Then I'll drive you there!" Chen Manli said.

"Thank you Xiao Yaodao.

"Mr. Xu, let's go first." Chen Manli said to Xu Wenxiang, "we'll have dinner together in the evening. I'll send you the address later. Please ask ah Yun to join us!"

"No problem!" Xu Wenxiang waved his hand.

Xiao Yao also said goodbye to Xu Wenxiang and left the studio with Chen Manli.

On the way to the gym, Chen Manli told Xiao Yao a lot about Feng Junting. Anyway, what she said was that she hoped the two young people could get closer to each other and try to cooperate with each other in the future. Xiao Yao didn't reject Feng Junting. Naturally, he nodded with a smile.

Feng Junting's gym is located on the upper floor of a building in central. The gymnasium is very large, occupying a whole level of the third floor of the building. Chen Manli seems to know the project Feng Junting is working on, and directly takes Xiao Yao into the innermost area of the gym.

To Xiao Yao's surprise, Chen Manli took him to the innermost area with a boxing ring. It looks like it's a gym with boxing or fighting.

"Isn't it fitness?" Xiao Yao asked strangely.

"Justin made an action movie some time ago, playing a boxer. He trained for the role for more than three months, and now the film is finished, but the habit of training is still maintained, and he comes to the gym to fight whenever he has time. " Chen Manli explained to Xiao Yao.

"It's OK. It's a good habit for actors." Xiao Yao smiles.

Chen Manli also smiles and shouts to a man wearing vest and shorts and red gloves in the ring: "Justin!"

the man turns his head when he hears the words and sees the two men. He signals to his opponent and jumps down from the ring."Sister Mandy! Here we are The man said to Chen Manli with a smile.

"Well," Chen Manli nodded and introduced them, "let me introduce you to Xiao Yao, Judin and Feng Junting!"

"Hello, Justin!" Xiao Yao smiles and reaches out his hand first, "I'm Xiao Yao!"

"Hello Xiao Yao! I often see your news in the mainland, and I often hear some friends in the mainland mention you! " Feng Junting also held out his hand with a smile, but he was embarrassed to find that he was still wearing a boxing ring.

Xiao Yao clenched his hand into a fist, touched Feng Junting, and said with a smile, "just listen to friends from the mainland? Haven't you heard your company's elder brother Lixun and Shiyun mention me? They should have no competition with you, right? Don't tell me that you don't have a good personal relationship. It's good gossip material! "

"Ah ~" Feng Junting was stunned, and then he beat Xiao Yao with his boxed hand, "don't talk nonsense! I have a good relationship with brother Lixun and ah Yun. "

"By the way," Feng Junting pointed to the boxing ring behind him with his fist. "I heard that you are very good at fighting. Are you interested in fighting with me?"

"Talk big," Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile, "I didn't tell elder brother Lixun and Shiyun that I would fight!"

"I mean, I heard that you are very good at fighting. I didn't say it was from elder brother Lixun and ah Yun!" Feng Junting once again explained helplessly.

"Justin, you don't want to mess around!" Chen Manli rebuked, "you've been learning from a professional master for several months. What if you hurt Xiao Yao? Xiao Yao has a job on Hong Kong Island. He will record for ah Yun tomorrow! I brought him to you to take him out to play, not to fight with him! "

"Nothing! I heard that he learned martial arts when he was a child, and his skill is very good. " Feng Junting waved his hand and said, "it has been reported in the news that when he was in middle school, he caught a thief with a knife on the subway. When he went to the United States, he subdued a robber. When he was kidnapped by a robber with a gun, he could escape by himself. It must be very easy to fight. The recording is for the rhyme of poetry. He doesn't need to sing by himself. Even if he gets hurt, it doesn't affect his recording. I talked to a Yun on the phone last night. She said that she went out with Xiao Yao for two days. After going to Temple Street last night, Xiao Yao said that there was no place to go. It's better to fight a fight than to do so! "

"Then you can't force others to fight you!" Chen Manli said, "what do you think? Justin's request is unreasonable. If you don't want to fight, don't agree to him. You don't have to consider his face in this kind of thing! "

"I want to ask first, how long have you studied? How many months are they? Did you learn boxing or fighting? And who is the master who teaches you? " Xiao Yao did not answer, but asked Feng Junting.

"I learned to fight. I can use my feet!" Feng Junting said, "I had special training for three months before filming and two months after filming. I often come to practice. Before filming, the teacher who gave me special training was a professional fight player. Now the coach and accompanist is the coach of this gym, and he has participated in professional fight competitions before

"Well, it's a good choice to play boxing and loosen your muscles and bones." Xiao Yao pointed to another burly man in the ring and said, "but I don't want to fight with you. Is that your coach and partner? I want to fight him, OK? "
