Chapter 265: Bad News
The picture of the golden statue actor being chased by the royal police and running away in embarrassment was too funny, and Wang Zheng couldn't help but laugh when he watched it. Put on the cap again and lower the brim, and when the panting Liang Jiahui turned around and informed him of the theme of the new film and the framework of the script, he left the Causeway Bay Night Market first.
In late September, autumn has been seen, the earth is still green, less hot in August, docile and heezy.
In the following days, Wang Zheng began to work on the release of "The Third Young Master", in addition to renting the cinema under the Shaw Brothers, the Golden Harvest Cinema was also in his film scheduling plan.
Wang Zheng can't predict whether the final box office of this martial arts film will be good or bad, after all, the script has changed too much, and what can be done is to increase the number of films.
Wang Zheng originally wanted to hold the premiere on Treasure Island, but the document refusing his entry has not been revoked, and in the end he has to give up, and the film is finally scheduled to be released at the same time in Shaw Brothers Cinemas in Xiangjiang and Treasure Island on October 1.
On September 21, after determining the release time of the film, Wang Zheng took the time to write the script of "Mr. Zombie 2", and summoned Zeng Zhiwei, Lin Zhengying, Xu Guanying and other original team members to discuss the sequel launch plan at the temporary headquarters of Dao Zheng Fei Xingwei.
As Zheng Fei Xingwei's first independently produced film, the final box office of 20 million made many film companies jealous, and the main creator in the play was even more happy, and agreed with Wang Zheng's plan to start filming a sequel.
After a brief discussion, in addition to the actors in the play or the original cast, Fang Yihua will serve as the producer of the sequel, only responsible for supervising the work, and Zeng Zhiwei will be in charge of the filming alone. Wang Zheng is about to go to the mainland again, and he has no time to take care of the supervision of the sequel, and as the number of films increases, he feels more and more unskilled.
After talking about the sequel shooting plan, it was getting late, and Wang Zheng was about to invite Ye Zimei, including the main creators in the play, to have dinner together, but Guan Zhilin came over at this point in time, and Wang Guxian came with her.
"Jiahui, Xiaoxian, you are here at the right time, let's go to Xu Ji Tea Restaurant to dine together!"
It is rare to see Guan Zhilin and Wang Guxian appear alone together, Wang Zheng did not notice for the first time that the expressions on the faces of the two girls were a little heavy at the moment, but smiled and made an invitation.
Guan Zhilin quickly came to Wang Zheng's side, squeezed out a slight smile on his heavy face, and said, "Zheng, don't be in a hurry to eat first, we have something to say to you." β
Wang Guxian also nodded, but she didn't show Guan Zhilin's composure, and her good-looking eyes were already a little red.
After listening to Guan Zhilin's words, Wang Zheng noticed that the expressions on the faces of the two women were wrong, and he had a bad premonition in his heart at the same time.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
In the general manager's office, Wang Zheng put away the smile on his face and asked calmly.
Guan Zhilin just wanted to answer, but Wang Guxian on the side cried first, plunged into Wang Zheng's arms, and whimpered: "Brother Zheng, I just received a call from my mother in Baodao, Mr. Xiong passed away at six o'clock this afternoon...!"
When Wang Zheng heard this, he was stunned for a while, and asked with a hint of luck: "Mr. Xiong?"
At this moment, Wang Guxian cried like a child, and he had no time to answer Wang Zheng's question.
In another time and space, Wang Guxian and Gu Daxia may not have much intersection. But in this time and space, with the appearance of Wang Zheng, the two also met under his witness, and this martial arts master has already become her idol.
"It's Gu Daxia! Mr. Xiong died of cirrhosis of the liver and venous bleeding, and he walked very peacefully, without experiencing pain!" Seeing Wang Guxian crying, Guan Zhilin said softly beside him.
No matter how the wheel of history changes, Wang Zheng failed to save Gu Daxia's life, thinking that persuading him to quit drinking could change his fate, but now that he thinks about it, he is just too naΓ―ve.
The deceased is gone, and it is useless to be sad and sad, what Wang Zheng has to do now is to rush to the treasure island immediately to send Gu Daxia a ride.
patting Wang Guxian's fragrant shoulder to comfort him, Wang Zheng said to Guan Zhilin: "Jiahui, you send Xiaoxian back first, and then help me pack two changes of clothes, and I will rush to Treasure Island tonight." β
Guan Zhilin first nodded in agreement, and then asked with concern: "But you are still on the banned list, how can you enter the treasure island?"
At this time, Wang Zheng had no time to care about the ban order, and said with a frown: "There will always be a way, you go back and wait for me first!"
After speaking, he handed over Wang Guxian, who was crying and weak, to Guan Zhilin to take care of, told Zeng Zhiwei and others the news of Gu Long's death, and then went to the Central and Western Districts non-stop.
Central and Western District, 89 Queensway, 4th Floor, 1st Floor of Banshi Center, China Travel Service.
"I'm sorry Mr. Wang, our travel agency has already left work, please come back tomorrow!"
"Miss, I have something very important to do, I have to go to Treasure Island tonight, please be accommodating, and let your leaders help me apply for a visa!"
Chunghwa Travel Service is equivalent to the embassy and consulate on Treasure Island, and in the era when computers were not yet widespread, all Hong Kong people who went to Treasure Island had to apply for visas here. At Wang Zheng's request, the front desk lady finally agreed to call the leader who had already left work.
The reason why the landing visa is not considered is because as soon as Wang Zheng sets foot on the treasure island, it is very likely that he will not even be able to leave the airport, and he will be sent back, so he can only think of a way at the embassy and consulate on the Xiangjiang side.
After a while, a middle-aged man came to the center, saw Wang Zheng, and said politely: "Mr. Wang, you should know that you are on the forbidden entry list of Baodao, even if I help you apply for a visa, you will not be able to leave Taoyuan Airport!"
Wang Zheng nodded, and begged again: "I know, no matter how cold and hard the law is, it is reasonable, Gu Daxia is not only my predecessor and partner, but also a literary master I respect, I hope that the embassy and consulate can open up, even if it is a day of entry, let me send Gu Daxia on his last journey!"
In the past six years, this is the first time Wang Zheng has begged someone, and the taste is not very good, but in order to mourn Gu Daxia, he has to be.
The middle-aged man may have felt Wang Zheng's sincerity, and changed his words and said, "Mr. Gu Long's death is also sad news for the people of Baodao. If Mr. Wang insists on mourning, it is not impossible. β
"What's the solution?" Wang Zheng hurriedly asked.
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "As long as Mr. Wang takes the initiative to write a letter of repentance and admits that going to the mainland to participate in the military parade was a wrong decision on impulse, the treasure island side can not only approve Mr. Wang's entry this time, but also revoke the ban on Mr. Wang." β
Wang Zheng looked a little ugly after hearing this, and without the slightest consideration, he said: "I am an upright Chinese, what is wrong with participating in the military parade held by the Chinese, I can't write this repentance of you." β
Seeing Wang Zheng's direct refusal, the middle-aged man's face also turned cold, and said, "Since Mr. Wang thinks so, then I can't welcome Baodao, please go back." β
Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, although Wang Zheng wants to go to Treasure Island, he will never give up his dignity for this, the travel agency can't open the door of convenience, he can only go to Shao Tycoon for help.
Shao Daheng's residence is in the Qingshuiwan villa area, but he likes to live in an old house near Shaw Brothers Studios.
"For the film directed by Ah Zheng to be successfully released on Treasure Island, all my connections have been exhausted, and since they have banned you from entering the country, even if I go to intercede again, I am afraid it will be useless. β
Regarding Shao Daheng's final answer, Wang Zheng was a little unwilling, and he became the director of Xiangjiang in vain, but he couldn't even go to send Gu Daxia on his last journey.
