Chapter 321 The Five Phoenixes of the National League are Back

When Wang Yuanchao was working on Qingzhou Yingni, Zou Wenhuai finally welcomed the return of the great director Li Hanxiang.

This is a very important filmmaker in Hong Kong history! He is particularly good at palace films.

In 1958, his film "Diao Chan" won the Best Director Award at the 5th Asian Film Festival.

In 1959, his film "The Kingdom and the Beauty" won the Best Film Award at the 6th Asian Film Festival.

In 1962, the film "Yang Guifei" directed by him won the Best Feature Film Award at the 1st Yizhou Golden Horse Film Awards.

In 1963, the film "The Butterfly Lovers" directed by him won the Best Feature Film Award and Best Director Award at the 2nd Yizhou Golden Horse Film Awards. In the same year, he went to Yizhou to set up Guolian Pictures.

In 1966, the film "Xi Shi" directed by him won the Best Feature Film Award and Best Director Award at the 4th Yizhou Golden Horse Film Awards.

……

Starting in 67, the League of Nations fell into an economic crisis, especially in June last year, when Li Hanxiang was prosecuted due to the bounce of more than ten checks from the League of Nations. He faced a huge fine, but his colleagues helped him to make movies for free to alleviate the debt crisis.

So after receiving the invitation from Zou Wenhuai, Li Hanxiang returned to Hong Kong with more than 30 people including actors, directors, skilled workers, technicians, etc. The registered place of Guolian is actually also in Hong Kong.

Zou Wenhuai and Wang Danfeng even brought a group of reporters to Kai Tak Airport to personally greet everyone.

It’s never wrong to prepare everything in advance.

As soon as Li Hanxiang got off the plane, he was shocked to see the cameras and flashing lights outside. To be honest, he had never enjoyed such treatment before.

When the Five Phoenixes of the National League came out, the scene became even more lively.

Li Hanxiang smiled and said:
"Hong Kong newspapers still favor celebrities as always!"

Zou Wenhuai smiled and said:

“It has been proven that celebrities are popular and can easily attract box office revenue.

Come on, let me introduce you. The person next to me is the company's deputy general manager, Ms. Wang Danfeng, my partner in Starlight Pictures.

Mr. Wang, this is the great director I strongly recommend to you, Mr. Li Hanxiang!"

Wang Danfeng smiled and stretched out her hand:

"welcome!"

Zou Wenhuai had introduced the company structure before Li Hanxiang came. Knowing that this person was the future mother-in-law of the big boss, he shook hands and responded enthusiastically:
"Hello, Mr. Wang, Hello, Mr. Wang.

If I remember correctly, I was lucky enough to draw a portrait for Mr. Wang!"

Wang Danfeng was greatly surprised. As far as she could remember, the two sides should have had no intersection. She had done her homework before coming to meet the other party. She had only worked in Hong Kong for a period of time in 49 and 50, and then returned to the mainland at the end of 50. At that time, the great director Li Hanxiang was still unknown.

But she glanced at Zou Wenhuai and smiled:
"This is incredible. I just found out today that Director Li and I have such a fate."

Zou Wenhuai had never heard of this, but he felt that if it was true, their relationship would quickly become closer, right?
So he laughed and said:
"I'd like to hear the details, please?"

The three of them chatted while watching the reporter interview the stars of the National League.

Li Hanxiang smiled proudly and said:

“I arrived in Hong Kong at the end of 47 and could only make a living by drawing sketches for people outside the Oriental Theatre in Hong Kong Island.

In 49, I was admitted to the Yonghua Training Class, but was later expelled for unknown reasons.

However, at that time, Zhu Xuhua, the director of the publicity department of Great Wall Film, had previously worked as the publicity director of Yonghua Film Studio. I wanted him to help arrange a position for me at Great Wall.

He asked me to help draw a picture of Mr. Wang for assessment.

After I finished the painting, it happened to be seen by the boss of Changcheng, Zhang Shankun, who hired me immediately and promised that I could be a special guest in the future. "

Wang Danfeng couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice:

"Ah? It really is Boss Zhang and Director Zhu!
They also mentioned to me that a young man drew a photo of me that was very lifelike. Were the subsequent promotional posters also drawn by Director Li himself?

At that time, should I be filming "Yao Chi Yuanyang" or "Splendid Paradise"?

Oops, it’s been so many years, I don’t remember!
It really is fate!"

Zou Wenhuai smiled and said:

“It’s fate that brings us together again after so many twists and turns!

Shall we go back to the company first?

Our boss is in a good mood these two days, so it's a good opportunity to meet him.

Otherwise, he will go to the United States in a few days, and I don’t know when he will come back! ”

Wang Danfeng explained:

"The boss has many businesses and basically doesn't care about how our company operates. But Mr. Zou mentioned it to him and said that Director Li was on the flight today, so he said he had to meet him.

The boss also knows Director Li’s creativity! ”

Li Hanxiang laughed loudly and said:
"Obey, obey!"

Wang Danfeng just waved her hand. Although the reporters were reluctant to leave, they still let go of the actors one after another. This woman was not only the vice president of Starlight Pictures, but also the wife of their president and the mother-in-law of the boss. Who would dare not give her face?

The group left the airport, got on the reception vehicle waiting outside, and headed straight to Starlight Pictures.

Wang Yuanchao knew the great director Li Hanxiang. After all, Zou Wenhuai had directly invited him to come. Why would he need to go out in person to greet him? But he didn't just sit in the office and wait. He went to the studio to watch them filming.

There were three movies being shot simultaneously on the set, so in the end he had no choice but to watch next to Wang Tianlin. When other directors saw the big boss coming, they could only perform at 30% of their abilities.

Wang Tianlin was not affected much, but the actors below were a little out of shape.

Finally, Wang Tianlin had to persuade:
"Boss, how about you watch from a little further away? It won't be a problem if the actors come a few more times, but it will waste film."

Wang Yuanchao had no choice but to follow the advice and stay away.

As soon as I left the set, I happened to see a convoy coming and Zou Wenhuai had just got off the car.

"Boss, are you visiting the set?"

Wang Yuanchao stepped forward and said:
"I can't stay in the office. Did Director Li get the call?"

Wang Danfeng and Li Hanxiang also got out of the car. Zou Wenhuai said quickly:
"This is Director Li Hanxiang. The people in the car behind are all the cast and crew of Guolian." He turned to Li Hanxiang and said:

"Director Li, this is the boss of our Starlight Pictures, Mr. Wang Yuanchao."

Wang Yuanchao looked at the famous director who was famous for his erotic films, smiled and stretched out his hand, saying:
"I have long admired your great name!"

Yes, Zou Wenhuai introduced Wang Yuanchao to a series of palace films that won various awards. But Wang Yuanchao knew this man in his previous life who was famous for his restricted pornographic films.

Actually, they are all about women’s stories.

Li Hanxiang was surprised at the young age of his boss. Although Zou Wenhuai had said that the boss was very young, he did not expect him to be so young!

And he has so many titles and a long list of industries!

It's true, if you compare yourself to others, you will die; if you compare goods, you will throw them away.

Li Hanxiang held Wang Yuanchao's hands with both hands and said:

"The boss is really young and promising, a rare talent."

Wang Yuanchao laughed loudly, but his eyes were suddenly attracted by a figure at the back of the convoy. Although he only took a glance, which of these guys was not a shrewd person?
The boss’s sight, that is——Wang Ling!
The face of the National League Wufeng!
We can say that even in the entertainment industry where there are so many beautiful women, her appearance is outstanding, with a tall and slender figure, bright eyes, white teeth, and green hair like clouds. She carries her own aura whenever she appears. She is beautiful but not coquettish, gorgeous but not vulgar, and quiet, elegant and noble.

However, once Wang Ling was in front of the camera, she completely lost her spirit. Her body became stiff and her expression was dull. Apart from her beauty, she had no acting skills at all.

Even though Li Hanxiang sent her to study in the small country of Japan, her acting skills were still useless.

She can only play roles that are cold, autistic, quiet, and similar types of roles. In other words, she can only play wooden beauties.

In this era when idols have not yet emerged, this person really doesn't have a very good career in the film industry.

But again, but comes again.

It can be said that Wang Yuanchao has seen many beauties since he traveled through time, but none of them were as beautiful as this one.

This one is so beautiful!
Wang Yuanchao just took a quick glance and couldn't take his eyes off it.

Li Hanxiang had a keen eye and said:

"Boss, the backbones of our National Alliance Pictures are here too. Can I introduce them to you and the two general managers?"

Wang Yuanchao accepted the advice and said:

"it is good.

Everyone has come all the way here, so it's only right that we meet each other."

Zou Wenhuai just thought, the boss wouldn't be so superficial, would he like Wang Ling so much? Your mother-in-law is still in front of you! I don't know what Wang Ling's fate will be in the future, don't let Vice President Wang embarrass you. Thinking so in my heart, my body honestly followed behind Wang Yuanchao.

Wang Danfeng didn't notice Wang Yuanchao's look. Why would a mother-in-law pay attention to her son-in-law's look? She just thought, why is Li Hanxiang looking for trouble? He is trying to be attentive to Wang Yuanchao! There are several outstanding actresses in the Guolian team. She saw them as soon as they got off the plane. It seems that some people think that they don't take her, the vice president, seriously because they have beautiful women on their hands.

Her opinion of Li Hanxiang suddenly became a little bad.

But since Zou Wenhuai had caught up, she had no choice but to follow on the other side of Wang Yuanchao.

Li Hanxiang was very considerate and introduced the team members one by one. When it came to Guolian Wufeng, there was nothing unusual. After introducing each person, there was a sweet voice "Hello, boss!"

After introducing the five people, Li Hanxiang added:
"Boss, these five are the most famous 'Five Phoenixes of the National League' in our National League."

Wang Yuanchao just smiled and nodded as a greeting to everyone, and he didn't even shake hands. After all, his mother-in-law was next to him, so it was not appropriate for him to stand out too much.

In fact, Wang Yuanchao didn’t have much in mind for the actresses of Starlight Pictures, but the appearance of Zhen Zhen and Wang Ling broke his composure and made him feel itchy.

He didn’t know Wang Ling in his previous life, but he knew Zhen Zhen in his previous life. She was also a sweet girl.

After the introduction, Wang Yuanchao said:

"Boss Zou, please help me settle down. I will go back to the office to talk with Director Li first!"

Zou Wenhuai agreed with a smile. Men, huh, don’t be fooled by how nonchalant they seem on the surface, but, now, aren’t they leaving aside their mother-in-law, Wang Danfeng?

It was normal for Wang Yuanchao, as the big boss, to have a chat with the great director Li Hanxiang and even influence the future fate of the League of Nations.

Wang Danfeng also had a hunch, but she couldn't say it out loud. She could only blame Wang Ling for being too outstanding.

I hope the boss is just trying to do it for the sake of novelty.

I really don’t know how to tell my eldest daughter. It’s not right to say it, and it’s not right not to say it. It’s too painful.
