King of Hollywood

Chapter 226: Sadness

“Drive back to the office.” After coming out of the building, Fang Yihua told the driver to say so, and then closed his eyes and sighed gently, counting his gains and losses.

Despite the fact that her husband had been decentralized and given full control after the millennium, he still had actual control, although not everything had to be asked. That is, Shao Yifu can adjust the TVB at any time if he wants, and that is why Fang Yihua will come and ask for his opinion.

Open your eyes, Fang Yihua smiled again, Shao Yifu Ming was going to tell the tvb executives through her mouth to entertain the American media tycoon, whatever his request, now Zeng Lizhen that woman has nothing to say.

there have always been two factions within TVB, Zeng Lizhen, director of the theatre production department, and Liang Pi, deputy director of Liang Jia Shu. For decades, they have created a number of excellent episodes and paid off a number of artists, and have been "petting” during the Shao Yifu era. This also indirectly led to Fang Yihua's inability to carry out some work after coming to power. Regardless of whether Zeng Lizhen or Liang Jia's book, it counts as hitting the old people in the world. If she were to do it, Shao Yifu would definitely not say yes, so she would support her own relatives to play Le Yi Bell against them. Anyway, sooner or later, this will be done. Who will not promote their loyalty after coming to power?

Lewis Bell is also very hard at work, taking charge of HR is just the first step, then she intends to also go into the production department to produce several TV dramas and dedicate several artists to develop her power. Neither Zeng Lizhen nor the Liang family would like to see this. But Zeng Lizhen is also the nominal director of the production department. If Le Yi Zheng is only aimed at her, Leung Jia Book will definitely not help, so the atmosphere inside TVB is quite subtle now.

Fang Yihua is not a good direct player, but he can use various means to create a favorable situation for Le Yi Bell. For example, he can take advantage of this opportunity to let Zeng Lizhen grow up with him. Li Zi is her dry daughter and can't even keep her dry daughter...

As for Yu Shiman, she is now a former artist, although also valued, no better than Le Zi et al. Over the past two years, she has played a number of important roles, but none of the actresses have. So Louis Bell was planning to dig her up, and then use some means to make her famous as Saffron Dan to build her own class. After Louis Bell had won her the corner of Golden Branch Wish, Sherman had promised that, although it had not been officially revealed internally, the insignificance had put on the symbol of the new orchestra.

In this case, Shaw Yiff sent her and Li Zi to accompany Adrian. There is no doubt that balancing internal affairs is the right excuse.

What a shame. Fang Yihua thought, if Adrian is satisfied, she also intends to introduce the former Cai Shao and Zhang Keyi to the past. At that time, Zeng Lizhen's face must look beautiful. However, Shaw Yiff would not have allowed this to happen, otherwise Yu Shiman would not have followed. Of course, what will eventually happen will depend on the mood of the gentleman.

“Oh, yeah, I saw it in my mailbox, baby... hey. What's wrong with this? Can't I call you that? Well, let's get back to decorating. I think both plan b and plan d are good. One is simple, not simple, and the other is very flavorful. Choose your favourite style…” Sitting in front of the Peninsula Hotel's floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the bright city, Adrian said with his phone.

The other end of the phone was Liu Tao, who was busy renovating the villa in Yangcheng, and Adrian had bought her a * * villa because she had been there too short to pick it out carefully. But leaving is leaving. This is still handled by someone. Adrian has always been very thoughtful. Even if there are incomplete places, he will be supplemented, so leave this to Liu Tao and exchange views on the decoration via the internet and telephone, which is also a way to maintain emotion.

At the end of the conversation, Adrian got up in front of the bar in the suite and poured himself a glass of champagne, quickly remembering that after all the grass on the mainland, his thoughts flew up to the afternoon scene, when would they bring in the delicious delicacies?

He came to Hong Kong for the starring purpose of hunting, it was too small, nothing worth investing in, if it was in the 1980s or early 1990s, but now... Oh, the same bullet size place, Li Jiapu at least has the refining industry, but what other decent industry besides real estate in Hong Kong? Oh, yes, the Asian financial center, Hong Kong's dream, has unfortunately been cut off by them.

They could have turned their backs on the continent, and that's what the continent meant. Unfortunately, not even one of the 23 articles could pass. What else can we say? Not to mention the twists and turns, want to get it and not pay the price, where in the world is so good, AC Media has also hired several outgoing senior government officials as consultants for two years.

Think about how Washington would react if New York felt that the Patriots Act violated a citizen's * * rights and expressed its firm opposition to its implementation outside of New York. Of course, if it were in the United States, it wouldn't even happen, and when little Bush signed the Patriots Act, whether it was a traditionally left-handed media group like Viacom or a new, neutral, self-styled media group like AC Media, it was just a little bit of a story.

In short, the Hong Kong people themselves buried the seeds of decline, so why would Adrian invest here in the foreseeable future? At best, there is some cooperation in some areas. Just like tvb, don't watch them keep up the momentum right now, and in a few more years, when online video starts to flourish, the limitations of the little places will soon start to stretch their elbows.

Believe that tvb has some knowledge in this area, otherwise you wouldn't want to cooperate with the north and mainland to open up the market, or deal with an American media tycoon like Adrian, if you could introduce tvb to the US. Even if only one of them is good, not to mention he obviously has some connection to the interior and pinches the TVB's right to play in the US.

So Adrian can be sure that he won't wait too long, but it's still a little late. As he said at the wine reception that day, the most charming women, who can be described as the best of the best, were all active in the eighties and nineties of the last century. If he had this capital then, he would have had to do something about it. Unfortunately, it's all gone.

But here he is. Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, mainland China have all played. How can we just miss Hong Kong? Besides, although the quality of the new generation in Hong Kong is not very good, there are a few more that are eye-catching, such as today...

That's when the doorbell rang.

----------------

In the face of the closed glossy elevator door, Li Zi can see his pale face. Even if she had packed her clothes once before she arrived, she had no idea that she was going to come across something like this today. But she couldn't refuse, especially the suggestion that Godmother sighed, which was what Uncle Six meant, and was angry that she had to shut her mouth.

Though Shaw Yiff is a respected good man outside. He is said to have donated schools and hospitals everywhere in the interior, but TVB employees know that he is a ruthless tyrant in the company and that no one has been able to disobey his will for decades. Not to mention the gruesome selling contracts, not to mention that Liu Dehui was hidden in the first place for over a year. Almost cut off the future, just to say that in the mid-1980s, when Shaw's film company shrank in performance and eventually stopped making films, a number of contracted actresses were forced to perform some extremely brilliant films at this time to facilitate Shaw's last payment.

There's not much out there to know about this, but the old employees inside tvb know very well. Shaw Yiff's personality is visible. Even though Le Zi is now a distinguished actress in Hong Kong's entertainment industry, it is not enough to refuse the request of the big owner of TVB.

Perhaps you can find that person... This thought only came up and Li Zi smiled and strangled him. He said that he hadn't seen him for a few times. We only ate two or three meals together, and he was far from reaching the point of being a boyfriend. To be honest, she's mostly just bluffing with each other. Although she is a little older, it is not a problem, but she is more than a hundred million people with a limp leg, making it difficult for her to accept Aimei. However, watching Godmother's artists such as Wu Meiyan marry herself out one by one, she also wanted to find a mountain to lean on.

Will he offend Uncle Shao Liu for himself, for a woman he's only met? Li Zi shook his head in his heart. Don't be silly, she has been in the entertainment business since the age of 15 to earn money to support her family. She has become accustomed to rubbing my fraud and warmth. This kind of thing hardly requires thinking to know the answer.

“Are you okay, Sister Zi?” Yu Shiman next to her probably noticed her ups and downs, and some of her worried mouths screamed.

“It's all right." Le Zi glanced at her and said in a plain tone.

Originally, her relationship with her was pretty good, but at this moment, she couldn't help but create a disgusting emotion. Yu Shiman was wearing a dark dress with her arms and long legs on the outside, making her look sexy. If she wasn't worried about being photographed by a dog, she would probably show her back as well. And it seemed a little worried, but Li Zi, who cooperated in several shows, could see the excitement in her eyes, needless to say, the top level must have given her a commitment, and... the other side was the Hollywood director as well as the media tycoon.

How could she have such an attitude? Does she know what they're doing? Looking at the number of the elevator jump, Li Zi hated thinking. That feeling of humiliation grew stronger and stronger as the floor approached, and she wasn't unpaid for dinner, but she and Yu Shiman, like two high-ranking recruits, went to a high-end hotel together to serve her guests, without giving her a strong sense of groundlessness like she is now.

Thinking about it, Li Zi's resentment had shifted to a Western man she had met on the set that afternoon. After learning that he was the famous Hollywood miracle director and the legendary rising media tycoon, she was still a little happy. He directed several films that she and her brother loved, but it was unexpected that he was such a man who looked very gentleman and charming, but he was no different from those men in the Hong Kong entertainment industry!

Li Zi was not a fool, and when she was on the set, she heard Adrian very clearly. Shortly thereafter, Fang Yihua and Godmother came to talk to her on a rotating basis. How could she have guessed why?

What about the scenery in public? You can't even control your own destiny. When the elevator door opened, there was a sadness in Le Zi's heart. She thought she no longer had to look at other people's eyes, and who knew Shao Yifu broke her fantasy with one word. Especially the one that Godmother implicitly conveyed, no matter what the other's demands, let her fall into the ice cellar, at this time Yu Shiman still whispered to remind her: “Sister Zi, here we are. ”

“I know." Li Zi took a deep breath and walked out and followed the hallway to the entrance to the suite. Ring the doorbell.

“Excuse me…” After opening the door, the Western man saw the two women in front of him and apparently beamed.

“Hello, Mr. Corwell, this is Le Zi. We met on the set this afternoon.” Li Zi reached out and tried to make his face look natural. "Can you go in and sit down? ”

Yu Shiman then said the same, the man smiled in front of him and immediately made a gesture of invitation. Maintain a gentlemanly attitude.

“Can I get you something to drink?” After they came in and sat down, the man named Adrian asked.

“Red wine, please.” Li Zi smiled.

“Me too.” Yu Shiman has a sample.

“Roman Conti 1978, one I prefer.” He gracefully poured them red wine, and although Le Zi didn't know much about it, he could see the hierarchy and bright colors.

And look at this western man in front of you. Clear corners, not very handsome, but very flavorful, tall and even, regardless of appearance or refinement. None of the richest men in Hong Kong were comparable, reducing her resentment at one time. The strangest thing about her was that after that sentence, they never spoke, just sat there silently tasting red wine and measuring themselves and Yu Shiman.

Li Zi twisted his body anxiously. She didn't know what the man was thinking. He looked at his eyes without that kind of fascination. He seemed to appreciate it, but it was invasive. High up, as if he would hold her under him at any time to conquer her, but it wasn't particularly annoying.

After being so quiet, someone finally broke this silence, Yu Shiman.

“I didn't expect Mr. Corwell to come to Hong Kong. Is this your first time here?” Yu Shiman put the glass down and sat upright, seeming natural, but the tone of tension betrayed her inner world.

At the end of the day, it is still a little too tender to hold your breath. In any case, you must wait for the other party to speak first.

“Please call me Adrian or Ed —— in fact, I came to Hong Kong in early '96 and stayed only two or three days, which is a beautiful place, and I would certainly have stayed for the first half of the month if I hadn't had a lot to deal with if I wasn't starting a business.” Adrian said softly, the tone was soft, the sound was magnetic, and it was lovely.

“That's a shame.” Yu Shiman said, glancing at Li Zi around his eyes.

“Yeah, so... this time Kowel first - Adrian has to stay in Hong Kong for a few more days.” Although I was very dissatisfied with her pie, Li Zi had to take over.

“It's nature,” Adrian nodded with a smile, "To be honest, I couldn't help but think that if I stayed a few more days, I might be lucky enough to meet you in advance. ”

Yu Shiman's smile suddenly gained a few points, and Li Zi's heart hummed softly, but he had to admit that the man was very good at talking, although he knew what he was implying, just as he looked at it with an offensive admiration, even if he hated it, he didn't hate it much.

Then, after so many conversations, the atmosphere in the room became harmonious. Without paying attention, Yu Shiman sat in the arms of the man.

“This was left over from the shooting of" Empress Flower "last year. It took more than 2 pm to get home. I was so tired that I accidentally fell down and stuck my chin on the coffee table, so I left a wound like this. ”

“If it's a good break, it shouldn't leave a mark. ”

“The doctor said the same thing, but in order not to affect the progress of the crew, he had to bring the wounds to the line, so he got this scar. ”

“Too bad, why are you so desperate? Take care of your body. ”

“I also know, how can we get so many opportunities if we don't work hard and we don't work hard? ”

“That's true, everyone is not easy. ”

Wearing a glass, Yu Shiman in Adrian's arms sighed and said, looking as if he had lost his bones, he couldn't help but lay the whole person on him, while Adrian made a look of concern and touched the scar on her chin, said in a comforting tone, then looked at Li Zi, who was still sitting opposite him, pinching his fist slightly.

Li Zi smiled and took another look at Yu Shiman. He sat down immediately. Luckily, he did not hold her.

“Sister Zi is not easy,” Yu Shiman began to say the good words of Li Zi. “She suffered a lot for her brother, but we all admired her for her achievements today. ”

“Yes, I've also heard,” Adrian looks at Li Zi, "Zi —— if you don't mind, I'll call you Zi. ”

“No problem." Li Zi gave him a smile.

“I am delighted to meet you, who, despite all your suffering, have never given up hope and have worked constantly to that end, which, in my view, is one of the greatest attractions of women. There is a leather bag in the sky, but you only know the request and don't know how to pay. It's just the flowers in the greenhouse, beautiful, but weak and unattractive. Only the flowers that experience the wind and rain will be extraordinarily beautiful when you let go of anger.” He looked into her eyes and said seriously.

Li Zi couldn't help but have some trance. The words of this Western man seemed to carry a kind of magic, which made her suddenly think of the struggles she had had had, and a time of sadness came to her heart again. Recall Yu Shiman's earlier statement, "If you don't work hard, how can you get so many chances”, her aversion to her shameless, hard-working attitude suddenly disappeared, and she couldn't hate Adrian again.
