The girl was extremely conflicted; if she could, she would really want to punch herself for buying that poster.
"Sister, I didn't mean it. I didn't know those unscrupulous merchants would do this. I just like Chow Yun-fat and wanted to get his photos. There are no official channels to buy them here in mainland China, and going to Hong Kong isn't very practical." The girl's voice was choked with emotion, and she looked extremely guilty.
Liu Zi understands that people's awareness of copyright is not strong nowadays, and this doesn't need to be a process. If there is an opportunity, it is not impossible to start with these star-chasing girls.
Suddenly, Liu Zi's phone rang.
She picked it up and saw it was Director Wang's assistant's phone. She looked up and saw a young man peering out from the hotel entrance.
Knowing that someone had arrived, Liu Zi said goodbye to the little girl.
"Hopefully next time we meet, you'll be able to get an official Chow Yun-fat poster!"
Then, under the envious gazes of everyone, Liu Zi shook hands with Director Wang's assistant and followed him into the hotel.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Liu, this invitation was my mistake."
The assistant was sweating nervously. Director Wang had notified him at the last minute, and the invitations had already been distributed. He had planned to have someone greet her at the door, but he had forgotten in his busy schedule.
If Director Wang finds out that he neglected Miss Liu and made her wait outside for so long, that would be terrible.
"Don't be nervous, it's nothing. There are quite a few fans outside, and I had a pleasant chat with them." Liu Zi waved her hand dismissively.
Upon entering the hall, Liu Zi took off her cashmere coat, leaving only her Chanel-style suit underneath. The light green jade accessories made her look exceptionally refined.
"Ms. Liu, here are your movie tickets. The cinema is on the third floor of the hotel." The assistant took out a viewing ticket and handed it to Liu Zi.
Liu Zi took it and looked at it; it was a good seat in row 6, seat 15.
"There will be a brief media conference after the movie, where Director Wang and all the main cast members will go on stage to answer questions. Afterwards, there will be a buffet lunch in the Plum Blossom Hall on the third floor. Director Wang insists that you attend, as he would like to introduce you to a few people." Assistant Wang explained the upcoming schedule to Liu Zi.
"Okay, I understand. Assistant Wang, you can go ahead and get busy. I'll go over here myself." Liu Zi waved the tickets in her hand.
"Please feel free to call me anytime if you need anything," Assistant Wang said politely.
Liu Zi nodded to indicate that she understood, and then Assistant Wang hurriedly left.
This Assistant Wang was being overly polite. Even if she had been made to wait outside for a while, it didn't warrant this. The Hong Kong entertainment industry is all about patting down the weak and flattering the strong. She was just a small-time songwriter, and she couldn't possibly handle such enthusiasm from him, unless Director Wang had given her some kind of hint.
Liu Zi narrowed her eyes, a guess forming in her mind.
Upon entering the screening room on the third floor, Liu Zi found her seat and sat down.
The ceiling lights shone brightly, and Liu Zi saw several 'familiar faces': a director, actors, and of course, some media people.
Liu Zi is now just a stranger in their eyes, a stranger who has been placed in such a good position for some unknown reason.
They inquired around, but no one recognized her.
Liu Zi sat listlessly in her seat when suddenly someone walked over and blocked the light.
Liu Zi looked up and saw Xu Jin.
"Huh? Where did you come from?"
"Miss Liu, it really is you! I almost didn't recognize you from a distance. You look absolutely stunning today," Xu Jin praised enthusiastically.
"Thank you!" Liu Zi said with a smile.
"Why are you in Beijing?" Isn't Xu Jin a salesman for Venus Records?
"I came here with Lin Lianlian, a singer from our company. She will be performing 'At Least There' on stage later."
"oh!"
Liu Zi nodded, guessing that this was probably one of Director Wang's publicity tactics.
The song "At Least There Is Still Something" has become incredibly popular recently.
"I never expected to meet you here. Do you have some time later? Would you like to chat?" Xu Jin excitedly invited.
Liu Zi said pointedly, "I just sold you a song by Jin Xing, and you're already thinking about it again. You can't be too greedy!"
Liu Zi didn't immediately refuse, and Xu Jin knew there was hope for this.
“Ms. Liu, I left the company’s business department some time ago and am now working as Ms. Lin’s agent assistant. Ms. Lin really liked your song, but the senior management gave it to another singer, which made Ms. Lin very disappointed.”
"I was planning to come to Beijing again after the New Year, but I didn't expect to meet you at Director Wang's preview screening. I really hope to ask you to sing another song for her. You can name your price."
"For Love" is already being recorded, and I heard the song is doing very well. The company definitely got a great deal with the 50,000 yuan licensing fee.
After a moment of hesitation, Liu Zi said, "I only have one question for you: why did you leave the business department?"
Liu Zi was able to get two songs from her, which shows that she highly approves of Xu Jin's work ability.
Xu Jin smiled awkwardly: "Manager Zhou has his own work philosophy, which I can't quite keep up with, so I changed careers."
Liu Zi raised the corners of her mouth: "Your merits overshadow your master?"
Xu Jin didn't say anything, only gave an awkward smile.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Zi said, "Everyone is busy with the New Year approaching. Why don't you come to Beijing after the New Year?"
Xu Jin almost jumped up with excitement, repeatedly expressing his gratitude to her.
Liu Zi covered her forehead; this kid was way too excited.
After Xu Jin left, people around Liu Zi began to scrutinize her even more.
They didn't recognize Liu Zi, but they recognized Xu Jin, who was following behind Lin Lianlian.
A person who can make the other party so humble must be extraordinary.
The movie began amidst the seemingly indifferent gazes of these people.
Liu Zi watched this movie in her past life; it is considered one of Director Wang's representative works.
The film showcases the strength of Director Wong's team in its composition, lighting, and camera work.
The skillful use of various techniques enhances the film's expressiveness and artistic appeal, allowing the audience to become more immersed in the world of the film.
When the song "At Least There Is Still" played, Liu Zi couldn't help but shed a tear.
Director Wang perfectly blended music and film, enhancing the atmosphere of the movie and improving the overall viewing experience, bringing everyone a perfect audio-visual feast.
Liu Zi couldn't help but admire him; even in later generations, there are few directors as outstanding as Director Wang.
Such a talented director is the kind of person every creator most wants to work with, and Liu Zi is no exception.
After the movie ended, the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.
At the subsequent media conference, Director Wang shared the film's creative concept and filming process.
Finally, he added, "Music is one of the souls of a film. It must match the emotions and themes of the film. The selection of songs for this film was quite a journey. Fortunately, we finally found the song 'At Least There'. It plays a pivotal role in the film and adds a lot to it."
