Chapter 138 Ling Xia's First Appearance in Hong Kong
We also have another key member of the production team. He pointed to Ling Xia and said, "Come on, Ling Xia, come up on stage and introduce yourself."
"She is an indispensable part of our film."
Ling Xia was completely bewildered; no one had told her about this part when she arrived. She hadn't even put on makeup today; she was completely bare-faced.
Immediately afterwards, she was pushed up by a large hand next to her. Xia glanced at the person next to her and her eyes widened even more, she was even more surprised than when the director asked her to speak.
What's Lin Tingshen doing here?
Xia was filled with doubt?
Lin Tingshen noticed Ling Xia's confusion; if he could, three question marks would probably appear above Ling Xia's head!
Lin Tingshen's handsome face. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Go on stage, what are you looking at him for?"
Ling Xia suppressed what she wanted to say and came out from one side of the corridor.
Since the director specifically requested her, she was determined to participate.
This was also the first time that all the main creators of the drama had met Ling Xia.
A good theme song can make a movie a hit, and a great movie can also make its theme song a hit.
The film and its theme song complement each other. This is why director Luo Yuan is so strict about the importance of the theme song.
Ling Xia took the microphone handed to her by a staff member and walked step by step onto the stage.
Ling Xia originally wanted to stand in a corner of the stage, finish her speech, and then go down to have a proper chat with Lin Tingshen. However, she was pushed by the many actors on stage to stand in front of Andy Lau.
Andy Lau kindly reminded her to take off her mask.
The moment Ling Xia took off her mask, Andy Lau swiftly moved her to the director's side.
He admires talented younger generations, especially one who is low-key.
While they were waiting backstage, a staff member reminded the director that Ling Xia, the composer of "Infernal Affairs," had arrived and was now sitting in a movie theater seat.
The director and producers exchanged glances. They had seen Ling Xia's profile; she was an actress. They hadn't expected her to enter directly from backstage without even walking the red carpet.
Director Luo Yuan remarked, "This young woman is very low-key, and her future is limitless. I can give her a helping hand later."
That's why what just happened occurred.
The moment Ling Xia took off her mask attracted the attention of Hong Kong and Taiwan media. No one expected that there would be such good looks under the mask, and everyone took photos enthusiastically.
Great beauties don't love that!
Several mainland reporters, seeing Ling Xia, were filled with disbelief, then picked up their cameras and started filming, saying: "It's not easy for a mainland actor to appear in Hong Kong films, they should report on this properly."
"Actress Ling Xia actually appeared at the premiere of the movie 'Infernal Affairs.' Who is she?"
"Is Ling Xia already planning to enter the Hong Kong market?"
They've already come up with several headlines for tomorrow.
"Hello everyone, I'm actress and composer Ling Xia. I'm very happy that Director Luo ultimately chose the song I wrote."
Seeing the full version of "Infernal Affairs" today truly amazed me. The duel between the two leading actors was thrilling. I hope "Infernal Affairs" will be a box office success. Thank you.” After saying this, Ling Xia bowed to the audience.
After finishing her speech, Ling Xia intended to leave immediately, but was stopped by Andy Lau. Feeling her position wasn't ideal, Ling Xia thought she could shift back to give Andy Lau space, but he noticed and, finding the girl amusing, also took a step back. This small action was captured by the media, which seems to have become a minor juicy detail.
Ling Xia couldn't go down, so she could only look at Lin Tingshen, her eyes filled with "why?"
Lin Tingshen sat calmly, watching Ling Xia. Today he was wearing a black shirt and a black baseball cap, all in black just like Ling Xia. He had a smooth jawline, slightly red lips, and deep eyes staring at Ling Xia.
Seeing that Ling Xia kept looking at him, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
……
After the film premiere, the crew held a small dinner party, and Ling Xia, as the composer, was fortunate enough to be invited. Lin Tingshen was also among the invitees.
Ling Xia then learned that he was also one of the investors in the movie "Infernal Affairs".
Ling Xia can only say that his investment acumen is truly amazing.
Ling Xia had assumed she'd be seated at the second table of veteran actors, but instead, she was placed at the very first table. This table included the director, producer, lead actor, investor, screenwriter, and herself. To her left was Lin Tingshen, and to her right was Li San, the screenwriter specializing in suspense stories.
The film's female lead did not sit next to actor Leung, but instead took her seat next to Lin Tingshen first.
Her goal was clear: this young and handsome investor was someone she had never met before, and she naturally had to seize the opportunity.
Before the dishes were served, the female protagonist took a bottle of juice from the table, deliberately couldn't open it, looked at Lin Tingshen, and said in a soft, pleading tone, "This bottle is so tight, can you help me open it? Please!"
This is a common trick girls use, and boys usually agree to help unscrew it to prove their strength.
But who is Lin Ting-shen? He said, "I twisted my wrist while playing ball yesterday and it was inconvenient," and then handed the juice bottle to the assistant director next to him.
The assistant director readily helped to unscrew it, and the female lead gave an awkward smile.
