Chapter 701: A Banquet

Li Qian pushed the door open and went in.

The private room is large, luxuriously decorated, steaming inside, with the aroma of vegetables and smoke.

There are many people.

Seeing that it was Li Qian who pushed the door and came in, Ming Xiaojing was the first to boo, "Hey, look, look, the lucky one is here!"

Li Qian smiled, "Hello, everyone! Sorry for being late!"

At this time, half of the people in the room had already stood up.

Some of them are very familiar, most of them know each other, and half of them don't know each other but they have read other people's reports, if they really don't know each other at all, there are probably only two or three people in the audience.

There was a very large table, and the people sitting at the bottom had already stood up and greeted each other seriously——

"Good morning, Master!"

"Hello!"

"Hello Brother Qian!"

"Okay, okay, you too!"

"Hi Director Li!"

"Okay, okay! You're welcome, you're welcome, please sit down!"

It was a mess, four or five people, none of them were too old.

Among them, Zhu Qiang is an artist of his own company, needless to say, he is naturally respectful.

Cheng Yifan is the winner of the Best Newcomer Award in the film category of the Great Wall Award in 1999. Zhou Zhiyu's alumni and junior, a student of the Acting Department of the Songjiang Theater Academy in 1997, made his debut with "The Informant" and became a blockbuster. Although he appeared on the scene in the past two years The absolute number of times is not too many, but the progress is rapid. In terms of the age group of 20 years old, Li Qian thinks that he is one of the best domestic actors.

Of course, although Li Qian is actually only one year older than him, he is still somewhat respectful.

After all, Li Qian's big brand is standing there, which is really scary enough.

Not to mention his peers, many who are older than him can only be regarded as rising stars in front of him.

Then, there was a woman in her thirties whom Li Qian didn't know very well. There were also two girls who were pretty and looked familiar. They were probably actors, and they might have even seen her dramas, but they didn't have the impression. Too deep, at least Li Qian couldn't call him by name, so naturally he didn't dare to call him rashly, and when he was called "Director Li", his attitude was very low, so he just turned back politely.

Ming Xiaojing waved at him, "Come here brother, sit with sister!"

Li Qian nodded, and went over obediently - there was indeed an empty seat there, and I don't know if Ming Xiaojing reserved it for him on purpose. Anyway, on the left is Ming Xiaojing, and on the right is Cao Zhan.

No matter how old-fashioned Li Qian is in his heart, how seasoned he is in doing things, and no matter how obsessed and worshiped he is by the women around him who keep falling into the pit one after another, he still can't change that he is only in his early twenties This point - especially when he first filmed Three Kingdoms, he was less than twenty years old, and the Kang Xiaolou, Ming Xiaojing, and Wu Shaojun he knew at that time were all old fritters!

The man is okay, we chatted a few times, and after getting to know him better, no one treats him as a child, but as a young and mature friend, and no one is so stupid as to pretend to be the boss and seniority in front of him, but Ming Xiao respects him. No, since the moment she met her, she has always regarded Li Qian as a young lady—although she is also an older sister, she is not the same as Cheng Suping!

Ming Xiaojing likes to tease him, but she really dotes on him like a sister.

If you have to make a forced analogy, it's probably similar to Zhen Zhen - they are rare in the current domestic entertainment industry who would treat Li Qian as a big boy.

It's just that, for many years, she has always been the number one fan of the four beauties.

Li Qian passed the crowd, but he was not in a hurry to sit down. Ming Xiaojing also stood up and introduced the few people who were seated at the head for him, "This Lafayette, you haven't seen it before, but you know it? We, Mr. Qin! This one, Uncle Qin's chief backstage, Mr. Hu! And then, that's Lao Wei, Brother Wei, Fu Zhiwei, Director Liu, and Lao Fang, you two should be familiar with each other, so I won't introduce them."

Li Qian took the initiative to reach out his hand, respectfully, "Hello, Director Qin! I'm Li Qian!" Across Ming Xiaojing and Qin Wei, he reached out to shake hands with Hu Fei, "Hello, Mr. Hu! This is the second time we met."

I don’t know if it’s because of Ming Xiaojing’s funny introduction. According to the rumors, Qin Wei, the master who has always been unsmiling, is smiling all over his face at this time. When shaking hands, he not only stood up, but also patted the back of Li Qian’s hand, expressing his admiration. Hu Fei, who is short and shaved, is even more affectionate. When shaking hands, he is very strong! He continued to say: "Congratulations to your brother first, the box office is a big hit, and you are happy to have a son!"

Li Qian accepted all the orders with a smile, "Thank you very much, we are all happy!"

Withdrawing his hand, before Li Qian went around to shake hands with Wei Fuzhi, Qin Wei's right-hand man, Wei Fuzhi had already raised his hand as a greeting, "Brother, I am Wei Fuzhi."

When he greeted like this, it stands to reason that Li Qian would return a salute, and that would be enough.

After all, although Wei Fuzhi is well-known all over the world, he is only Qin Wei's art director after all, and he is considered to be in a team with Qin Wei. In the world, Li Qian's position is only stronger than him, but definitely not bad .

But at this time, Li Qian walked out of his seat rather surprisingly, and passed by, and shook hands with Wei Fuzhi, who had a look of surprise flashing across his face, in a very polite manner, "Teacher Wei, I have been admiring you for a long time."

After all, Wei Fuzhi is an old Jianghu for many years. He quickly put away the surprise on his face, smiled lightly, and gave Li Qian a firm handshake, "You are welcome, I am your fan and fan, hardcore!"

The people around are all smiling.

Hu Fei made a joke, and said: "Old Wei said this, but he didn't say it. This room is full of fans and fans of Li Qian's younger brother. Wow, the leader!"

This time, everyone laughed out loud.

I don't know if it's because what Hu Fei said is funny, or because Hu Fei said it.

In the domestic film industry in the past ten years, if the power of the government is excluded, Qin Wei and Du Weiyun are recognized as having the highest artistic achievements. Behind these big figures who can stir up the film world with every gesture are the three well-known giants——Zhou Yanghua, Hu Fei, and Yuan Ke.

Zhou Yanghua's Oriental Media is a large-scale comprehensive group integrating film and television investment, production, distribution, artist management, and movie theaters. It is an absolute leader in the industry.

Although Hu Fei's Huafei Film and Television Company is not as big as Dongfang Media, and its business is relatively single, but the former has Du Weiyun as the art director to carry the flag, and the latter has partnered with Qin Wei for more than ten years!

In the past ten years or so, Zhou Yanghua plus Du Weiyun, Hu Fei plus Qin Wei, and Yuan Ke plus Zhao Meicheng are the three most famous couples in the industry—they are known as the combination of capital and movies at a model level!

Of course, maybe there should have been an extra pair.

It is a pity that in 1995, Liu Chengzhang had a falling out with his old partner, right and wrong, other than the two of them, it is really difficult for others to sort out, but at that time, everyone generally believed that Liu Chengzhang had left his partner The old partner's future is really uncertain. After all, all these years, it was his money that supported Liu Chengzhang to realize his dream step by step.

But after a few years, it has been proved that although capital is indispensable for movies, it does not make any difference who the capital comes from-instead, it is the unique creativity of the artist that is the most important factor in the movie market. more indispensable.

Because after Liu Chengzhang turned against his old partner, he quickly attracted investment from various sources and filmed "The Swordsman and the Monk", but in the end, he achieved a leapfrog development in his director career. The highest box office in one fell swoop was only more than 70 million. The first-line director, directly promoted to the ranks of top directors.

As for his old partner, after Liu Chengzhang left, he invested in several films successively, but did not gain much. Among them, he even lost a few films. Gradually, his influence in the industry was not as good as before.

And after Liu Chengzhang's "Swordsman and Monk" became a big hit, on the one hand, his net worth increased sharply, and on the other hand, his appetite also increased. The investment in the new movie "Sword Fairy" is huge, and it is obviously difficult to support it independently only by his original financial backer. Therefore, After fierce competition, Hu Fei, one of the three giants in the industry, invested.

As we all know, Hu Fei and Zhou Yanghua are rivals, and if Hu Fei invests, it means that Zhou Yanghua is out.

And being able to invest in Liu Chengzhang's new movie obviously also greatly increased Hu Fei's power, influence, and confidence in speaking and doing things. During the night talk, Liu Chengzhang himself said that Hu Fei has been wooing him, hoping that he can set up a studio in Hu Fei's Huafei Film and Television, like Qin Wei, or simply let Hu Fei wholly acquire Liu Chengzhang's personal film and television company.

It's just that Liu Chengzhang was still hesitating at the time.

Because no matter how much Hu Fei values ​​him, as long as he enters the Huafei film and television system, he is doomed to be the second child. With Qin Wei around, Liu Chengzhang's movie sold more than 200 million, even if he sold 300 million or 400 million. It is also impossible to overshadow Qin Wei, who is the number one filmmaker in China!

Of course, whether Liu Chengzhang agrees or disagrees, in addition, the most important thing is that from Hu Fei's posture of wanting to include Liu Chengzhang under his command, we can see how high-spirited he is now.

To put it bluntly, although there are no ordinary people sitting in this room at the moment, apart from Qin Wei's big brand and Li Qian's independent system, even the most outstanding Chinese actor in the past ten years Ming Xiaojing dared not give Hu Fei face!

Although he looks amazing, he can be 1.6 meters tall, and he looks thin and small!

However, the energy is astonishingly large!

After everyone laughed, Li Qian returned to Ming Xiaojing's side, and nodded across the table to Liu Chengzhang and Fang Baijin, who were sitting almost directly across from each other. We are acquaintances, and a slight smile is regarded as a greeting.

At this time, Ming Xiaojing asked him in a low voice: "Is the child all right? Is Momo's body almost recovered? Are you planning to keep it secret?"
