"A drink party? What kind of drink party?"

Xu Hui answered the phone and Chen Sangsang informed him that there would be a cocktail party tomorrow night that he would need to attend.

"It's a grand event where filmmakers and some literati gather and communicate with each other. It is said that many local talented men from Xiangjiang will attend!"

"Come on, where did the talent come from Xiangjiang? Huang Zhanxian passed away, Jin Yong won the pen, Cai Lan was obsessed with food, Ni Fujian's reputation..."

Xu Hui was disdainful, and subconsciously, he believed that the so-called "Four Talents of Xiangjiang" were all commercial flatteries...

"…Boss, you'd better participate. After all, there are many filmmakers on site. Communicating with them can also expand the market in Xiangjiang..."

"It was Huang Wen who told you!"

Listening to this tone, you will know that it must be Huang Wen’s request.

"…Boss, we are still on their territory after all..."

"I understand, please notify the organizer and I will be on time tomorrow night."

Xu Hui hung up the phone with a smile.

"What's wrong?"

Deng Chao and Wu Jing looked at Xu Hui with some confusion, and the latter shrugged: "I will attend a cocktail party tomorrow..."

"Do you want to be with you?"

Wu Jing was a little worried. He had been in Xiangjiang for several years and probably understood what kind of personality the filmmakers in Xiangjiang were.

Climbing together, and having a high attitude...

"You are not a girl, do you accompany me to the cocktail party? Is it reasonable? Don't worry, they are all adults, and it's impossible to slap them in the face!"

"...I want to look at you. With your personality, I'm really afraid that you will get involved in the alcoholic drink!"

“…Am I that kind of person?”

Xu Hui was a little speechless. He always felt that being smart was one of his few advantages...

Haha, who is smart and scheming would slap people in public?

...

The literature of a place is closely related to the characteristics of the city itself.

Xiangjiang is a very special place, it is a colony.

At the beginning, its literary color was natural political indifference, and during this period, a martial arts culture led by Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng appeared.

Then, after the negotiations began in the 1980s, the disappearance of the existing colonial identity of Xiangjiang suddenly awakened the local cultural consciousness of Hong Kong people, and thus there were a large number of "nostalgic" works that reconstructed Xiangjiang's history.

In 1984, with the signing of the joint statement, Xiangjiang entered a 12-year transition period for return. This transition was not only a transition of political and social forms, but also prompted Hong Kong people to explore their own cultural identity. Many local writers directly used this as a node to build a diverse and rich "Old Xiangjiang" territory, attempting to find the cultural and political belonging of the "home city" from the historical context.

The overlap and collision of multiple elements such as cities, history, and post-colonial discourse have also created a subtle and unique textual temperament for such literary works.

However, only after the return, Xiangjiang's pace has accelerated again.

The rhythm of modern big cities was destined to be contrary to traditional classics. During this period, "fast food literature" appeared, and a bunch of magazines and newspapers gradually replaced real literature.

Most of the real great writers live in small towns!

Wang Xiaobo, Yu Hua, Mo Yan, Jia Pingwa...

Even Wang Shuo, the era he lived in was the capital of the 1980s...

So, Chen Sangsang said something about the cocktail party where literati gathered. Xu Hui almost laughed. Where did the pure literati come from in Xiangjiang?

The relationship between literati and filmmakers in Xiangjiang is often closely linked.

The spread of movies is always a step faster than the spread of literature, after all, it is a visual intuitive enjoyment.

Therefore, it is understandable that literati appear in the middle of the filmmaker's gathering!

...

"No need to mess around, just that white dress!"

Xu Hui sat in the VIP room of Dior flagship store, looking at Tong Liya with a little helplessness over and over again.

It's been two hours now. Even if he's doing his favorite in and out exercises, he'll be impatient. After watching the dress-up performance for two hours, Xu Hui just wants to leave now...

"No, I can't be embarrassed!"

Yaya's face was full of excitement, and she had no intention of stopping.

This is a Dior dress exclusive!

There are many dresses here, Yaya has only heard of them, but she has never seen them with her own eyes.

If it weren't for Xu Hui, she wouldn't have had the chance to wear so many beautiful dresses!

As the image ambassador of Dio Asia, Paohui can handle such a thing as a trial dressing in just one sentence...

Looking at Yaya's face full of "I want it", Xu Hui stopped talking, lowered her head and continued to play with her phone, searching for "How to persuade a female companion who is already in a madness to leave the women's clothing store?"

The answers are varied, and the highest likes is, 'You can't wake up a sleeping person unless it's a courier...'

Damn, what's this?

"The cocktail party started at five o'clock, now it's half past four o'clock..."

Another hour later, Xu Hui had to speak to remind him.

During this period, he drank a cup of coffee and ate three pieces of sponge cake...

"Ah! So fast, what do you think of this outfit?"

“…You are the most beautiful in the world!”

It’s really not Xu Hui’s perfunctory behavior, but this purple fishtail dress looks very good.

Paired with a pink diamond necklace, it adds a sense of maturity to her.

"Okay, let's go!"

Yaya was also very satisfied with this outfit. She looked in the mirror for a long time and left the VIP room...

...

In the Peninsula Hotel, there are many men in suits and ties standing in the lobby, holding wine glasses and chatting about their current situation.

If you look at it, these are all faces that are very familiar to the public.

Chen Jiashang, Ma Chucheng, Wang Jing, Chen Kexin, Wen Juan…

There are also many reporters who come and go, but the reporters who can enter the cocktail party are basically well-known people, at least they must be reporters from regular newspapers.

The questions asked are all about movies and politics, and there are basically no one who mentions gossip without opening his eyes.

They are all in the society, so you must always pay attention to some rules!

"Ni Zhen is here..."

Someone discussed it in a low voice.

"Come on, come!"

Ni Zhen is not a well-known figure. Apart from his wife and his father, there is basically nothing worth reading.

“…Ni Fu is here too!”

"Really? Mr. Ni is here too. I really want to pay a visit!"

Ni Fu's identity is amazing. Don't look at Xu Hui who doesn't care or can sarcastically sarcastically, but he is a real literary master in Xiangjiang!

Ni Fu is the most prolific and diverse writer. He claims to be "the person who has written the most Chinese characters since humanity."

There are countless works, including the "Wesley" series and the "Yuan Zhenxia" series. He also wrote martial arts, "Six Finger Piano Demon", and also worked as a screenwriter...

Anyway, it's a living legend!

However, he is now 75 years old, so why did he come to attend this year's cocktail party?

"Mr. Ni, you are here too. Why don't we send a car to pick you up?"

The first person to welcome him was the host Yang Shoucheng.

Although Old Yang’s hand is the Emperor of Ying, who is calling the wind and rain in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, he is still a junior in front of Ni Fu!

"Haha, I heard that there is a director from the mainland who is quite talented. I want to see it!"

Ni Fu sat down with a smile: "You guys talk to you, don't worry about me..."

"…Is the young director you are talking about Xu Hui?"

"Yes, it's called this name. I heard that he wanted to buy old Cha's martial arts works, and wondered if he could buy my works by the way..."

OK, you are here to do business!
