King of Hollywood

"Drive, go back to the company." After coming out of the building, Fang Yihua instructed the driver, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath, calculating his gains and losses.

Although after the turn of the millennium, her husband delegated power to her and completely handed it over to her, but the actual control is still in his hands, but he is not as involved in everything as before. In other words, as long as Shao Yifu thinks, he can make adjustments to TVB at any time, and it is precisely because of this that Fang Yihua came here to ask for his opinion.

Opening his eyes, Fang Yihua chuckled again. It was obvious that Shao Yifu was going to tell the TVB executives through her mouth that he would treat that American media tycoon well, no matter what he asked, and now that woman Zeng Lizhen had nothing to say.

There have always been two factions within TVB, Zeng Pai, who is in charge of the drama production director Zeng Lizhen, and Liang Pai, who is the deputy director of Liang Jiashu. In Shao Yifu's era, there was a constant "competition for favor". This also indirectly caused Fang Yihua to be unable to do anything after he came to power. Both Zeng Lizhen and Liang Jiashu can be regarded as old people who followed the world. If she wanted to start, Shao Yifu would definitely not agree, so she supported her confidant Le Yi Ling fought against them. Anyway, this matter must be done sooner or later. Who wouldn't promote his cronies after he came to power?

Le Yiling is also working very hard. Taking charge of the human resources department is only the first step. Next, she plans to also enter the production department to supervise the production of several TV dramas, and promote a few artists to develop her own power. Both Zeng Lizhen and Liang Jiashu are unwilling to see this situation. But Zeng Lizhen is also the nominal director of the production department. If Le Yiling only targets her, Liang Jiashu will definitely not help, so the current internal atmosphere of TVB is quite delicate.

Fang Yihua can't take action directly, but he can use various methods to create a favorable situation for Le Yiling. For example, use this opportunity to make Zeng Lizhen stumble. Li Zi is her goddaughter, and she can't even keep her goddaughter...

As for Yu Shiman, she is now an artist sent by Zeng Pai, although she is also valued, she is not as good as Li Zi and others. In the past two years, I have played many important supporting roles, but there is no heroine. So Le Yiling is planning to poach her here, and then use some means to make her a popular actress with the same reputation as Li Zi and the others, so as to build up her own team. After Le Yiling won for her the role of Er Chun in "Golden Branch Desire", Charmaine Sheh has already agreed. Although it has not been officially revealed internally, it has vaguely been marked with the symbol of a new school of music.

In this case, Shao Yifu asked her and Li Zi to accompany Adrian. There was no doubt that it was balancing internal affairs, and the excuse was appropriate.

what a pity. Fang Yihua thought so, if Adrian is satisfied, she also plans to introduce Cai Shaopin and Zhang Keyi who were sent by Zeng to her. Zeng Lizhen must have a pretty face at that time. But Shao Yifu would definitely not allow this to happen, otherwise Yu Shiman would not have followed suit. Of course, what will happen in the end depends on...that gentleman's mood.

"Oh yeah, I saw it in the mail, baby... hey. What's so gross about that, can't I call you that? Well, back to the decorating thing, I think Plan B Both plan and plan D are very suitable, one is simple but not simple, and the other is a combination of Chinese and Western tastes. You can choose the style you like..." Sitting in front of the French windows of the Peninsula Hotel, looking at the brightly lit city outside , Adrian said while holding the phone.

On the other end of the phone is Liu Tao, who is busy with the decoration of the villa in Yangcheng. Because Adrian stayed there for too short a time, he couldn't choose carefully, so the villa he bought for her was just a simple decoration. However, leaving is leaving. Someone still has to deal with this matter. Adrian has always considered it very carefully. Even if there is something incomplete, someone will complete it for him, so I left this to Liu Tao and exchanged conversations with her through the Internet and by phone. From the point of view of decoration, this is also a way to maintain feelings.

After finishing the call, Adrian got up and went to the bar of the suite to pour himself a glass of champagne. After quickly recalling all the troubles in the mainland, his thoughts immediately flew to the scene in the afternoon. How about some delicious food?

The purpose of his starring role in Hong Kong is to hunt for beauty. This place is too small, and there is nothing worth investing in. If it was in the 1980s or early 1990s, it would be okay, but now... Hehe, in a place the same size as a bullet, Li Jiapo at least has The oil refining industry, but besides real estate, what other decent industries does Hong Kong have? finance? Oh, yes, the dream of Hong Kong, the financial center of Asia, has been ruined by them.

Originally, they could rely on the mainland to develop, and the mainland also has this intention, but unfortunately they can't even pass 23, so what else is there to say? Not to mention the twists and turns, wanting to get something but not wanting to pay the price, how can there be such a good thing in the world, the media has also hired several retired government officials as consultants in the past two years.

Just think about it, if New York felt that the "Patriot Act" violated citizens' liberty rights and firmly expressed its opposition to not implementing it in New York, how would Washington react? Of course, if it was really in the United States, there would be no sign of such a thing. When Bush Jr. signed the "Patriot Act", whether it was a traditional left-leaning media group like Viacom or a new type of media group that was neutral The self-proclaimed media group only briefly reported on the incident.

In short, the people of Hong Kong planted the seeds of decline with their own hands. In this case, how can Adrian invest here in the foreseeable future? At most, it is to maintain a certain degree of cooperation in certain aspects. Just like TVB, don't look at their current development momentum. After a few years when online video becomes popular, the limitations of small places will soon make them stretched.

I believe that TVB has some understanding of this aspect, otherwise it would not want to go north to cooperate with the mainland to develop the market, or make friends with an American media tycoon like Adrian, if it can introduce TVB TV series to the United States. Even if only one is good, what's more, he obviously has a certain connection with the mainland, and he still holds TVB's right to broadcast in the United States.

So Adrian can be sure that he will not wait too long, but it is still too late, as he said at the welcome reception that day, the most charming women who can be called peerless are all active in In the 1980s and 1990s, if he had the capital at that time, he would have to find a way to kiss Fangze. Too bad it's all gone now.

But he still came. He has played in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and mainland China. How can he only miss Hong Kong? Besides, although the quality of the new generation in Hong Kong is not very good, there are still a few that are worthy of attention, such as today...

Just then, the doorbell rang.

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

Facing the closed elevator doors, Li Zi could see her pale face. Even if she had packed up and dressed once before coming here, she never thought that such a thing would happen to her now. But she couldn't refuse, especially the suggestion of the godmother's sigh, which was meant by the sixth uncle, and she had to keep her mouth shut when she was still angry.

Although Shao Yifu is a kind person respected by everyone outside. It is said that there are schools and hospitals donated by him everywhere in the mainland, but TVB employees know that he is an out-and-out ruthless tyrant in the company, and no one can disobey his will for decades. Not to mention those extremely mean prostitution contracts, not to mention that Liu Dehua was hidden in the snow for more than a year. In the mid-1980s, Shaw's film company was shrinking in sales and was about to stop making movies. At this time, many contracted actresses were forced to star in some extremely eclectic movies to facilitate Shaw's final income. a sum.

Not many people outside know this kind of news, but the old employees inside TVB know it very well. Shao Yifu's character can be seen. Even though Li Zi is different from the past and is already a well-known actress in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, it is still not enough to refuse the request of the big boss of TVB.

Maybe we can find that person... This idea just popped up, but Li Zi snuffed it out with a wry smile. He said that they were dating, but they only met a few times and had dinner together two or three times. the point. To be honest, to a large extent, she was just playing tricks with the other party. Although she is a bit older, this is not a problem, but she has a lame foot with a net worth of over 100 million, which is difficult for her who loves beauty to accept. However, seeing the godmother's female artists such as Wu Meiyan marrying herself off one by one, she also wanted to find a backer.

Will he offend Shao Sixth Uncle for himself, for a woman he has only met a few times? Li Zi shook her head in her heart. Don't be silly, she has been working in the entertainment industry to make money to support her family since she was 15 years old, and she is used to intrigue and intrigue and the warmth and coldness of people. She knows the answer to such things almost without thinking.

"Are you okay, sister Zi?" Yu Shiman next to her probably sensed her ups and downs, and cried out with some worry.

"It's okay." Li Zi glanced at her and said in a flat tone.

Originally, her relationship with her was not bad, but at this moment, I couldn't help but feel disgusted in my heart. Yu Shiman was wearing a dark dress with her arms and long legs exposed, looking very sexy. If she wasn't worried about being caught by paparazzi If it is photographed, she will probably show her entire back. And it seems to be a little worried, but Li Zi, who has worked with several movies, can see the excitement in her eyes. Needless to say, the high-level must have given her a promise to take the lead, and... the other party is a big Hollywood director and media tycoon .

How could she have such an attitude? Does she know what they are doing! Looking at the beating numbers in the elevator, Li Zi thought bitterly. The feeling of humiliation became more and more intense as the floor approached. It's not that she had participated in dinner parties, but she didn't feel ashamed as she did now. She and Yu Shiman were like two senior callees. Like girls, go to high-end hotels together to provide services to guests.

Thinking of this, Li Zi's resentment could not help but transfer to the western man whom she met on the set that afternoon. After learning that he was the famous miracle director in Hollywood and the legendary rising media tycoon, she was a little bit surprised. I am happy, she and her younger brother liked several films directed by him, but what I didn't expect was that there is such a man, he looks very gentlemanly and personable, but he is no different from those men in Hong Kong's entertainment industry!

Li Zi is not a fool, and on the set, she heard what Adrian said clearly, and Fang Yihua and the godmother came to talk to her in turn shortly afterwards. How could she not guess the whole story.

What about the scenery in front of people? You can't even control your own destiny. When the elevator door opened, Li Zi felt a surge of sadness in her heart. She used to think that she no longer needed to look at other people's eyes, but Shao Yifu broke her illusion with a single sentence. Especially the sentence that the godmother secretly conveyed, no matter what the other party's request must be satisfied, it made her feel like falling into an ice cellar. At this time, Yu Shiman was still reminding her in a low voice: "Sister Zi, we are here."

"I know." Li Zi took a deep breath, strode out, and walked along the corridor to the door of the suite. Ring the doorbell.

"Excuse me..." After opening the door, the Western man was obviously stunned when he saw the two women in front of him.

"Hello, Mr. Kewell, I'm Li Zi, we met on the set this afternoon." Li Zi stretched out her hand, trying to make her expression look natural, "Can I go in and sit down?"

Yu Shiman followed suit and said the same, the man in front of him smiled slightly, and immediately made a gesture of please. Still maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor.

"Would you like something to drink?" the man named Adrian asked after they came in and sat down.

"Red wine, thank you." Li Zi smiled.

"Me too." Yu Shiman followed suit.

"The 1978 vintage red wine from Roman Conti Winery, I like it better." He poured the red wine for them gracefully. Although Li Zi didn't know much about it, he could still see the layering and distinctness in it. color.

Look at the western man in front of you again. Sharp edges and corners, not handsome, but very tasteful, tall and well-proportioned, regardless of appearance or spirit. They are not comparable to those rich people in Hong Kong, and her resentment has been reduced a lot for a while. What surprised her the most was that after these words, the other party didn't speak again, but just sat there silently tasting the red wine, and looked at herself and Yu Shiman.

Li Zi twisted her body anxiously. She didn't know what this man was thinking, he didn't look at her with that lustful feeling, he seemed to appreciate it but also had an aggressive aggressiveness, aloof, as if he would press her under him at any time Conquering, but not particularly annoying.

After being so quiet for a while, someone finally broke the silence, it was Yu Shiman.

"I really didn't expect Mr. Kewell to come to Hong Kong. Is this the first time?" Yu Shiman put down her glass and sat up straight. It seemed natural, but the tension in her tone betrayed her inner world.

In the final analysis, he was still too young to hold his breath. In this case, he had to wait for the other party to speak first.

"Please call me Adrian or Ed—in fact, I came to Hong Kong in early 1996 and only stayed for two or three days. I will stay for half a month." Adrian said briskly, his tone was very soft, his voice was magnetic and pleasant to hear.

"That's really a pity." Yu Shiman said and glanced at Li Zi beside him.

"Yeah, so... this time Kewell first—Adrian must stay in Hong Kong for a few more days." Although he was very dissatisfied with her behavior, Li Zi still had to answer.

"It's natural," Adrian nodded with a smile. "To be honest, when I saw you, I couldn't help but think that if I had stayed a few more days, I might have been lucky enough to meet you in advance."

Yu Shiman's smile suddenly increased a little bit, Li Zi snorted softly in his heart, but he had to admit that this man was very good at talking, even though he knew what he was implying, but it was like that admiring gaze with aggression The same, even if you hate it, you can't hate it much.

Then, after these few conversations, the atmosphere in the room became harmonious, and when Li Zi was not paying attention, Yu Shiman sat in the arms of that man.

"This was left when I was filming "Emperor Flower" last year. I didn't go home until after 2 o'clock in the evening. A wound."

"If you rest properly, there should be no traces left."

"The doctor said the same thing, but in order not to affect the progress of the crew, he had to go into battle with his injuries, so there was such a scar."

"It's a pity, why are you working so hard? Take care of your body."

"I know, but if you don't work hard, how can you get so many opportunities?"

"It's not easy for everyone."

Holding the wine glass, Yu Shiman, leaning in Adrian's arms, said with a sigh, he looked as if his bones were gone, and he wished he could lay his whole body on him, and Adrian showed a concerned look Touching the scar on her chin, she spoke in a comforting tone, and then looked at Li Zi who was still sitting opposite and squeezed her fist slightly.

Li Zi forced a smile, glanced at Yu Shiman again, and sat up immediately, fortunately, he didn't hug her.

"Sister Zi is not easy," Yu Shiman immediately began to say good things about Li Zi, "She has endured hardships for her brother, but she has achieved today's achievements. We all admire her."

"Yes, I've heard of it too." Adrian looked at Li Zi, "Azi——if you don't mind, I'll call you Azi."

"No problem." Li Zi gave him a smile.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. Although you all have your own sufferings, you never give up hope and work hard for it. In my opinion, this is one of the greatest charms of a woman. Empty skin, but only knows Asking but not knowing how to give, they are just flowers in the greenhouse, and they are beautiful, but they are too weak to look at, and only flowers that have been blown by wind and rain will be extraordinarily beautiful when they are in full bloom." He looked into her eyes. Seriously.

Li Zi couldn't help being a little dazed, the words of this Western man seemed to have a kind of magic power, which made her suddenly think of all the struggles in the past, and the feeling of sadness came to her heart again for a while. Reminiscent of Yu Shiman's sentence just now, "If you don't work hard or desperately, how can you get so many opportunities", her disgust for her shameless and hard-working attitude suddenly disappeared, and she couldn't hate Adrien again. install.

Then, when Li Zi came back to his senses again, Yu Shiman had already kissed Adrian passionately. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
