Chapter 45: Heroes
"What is the relationship between you and Li Jiaxin?" When Wu Zheng came back, Zhao Xiaojun asked bluntly with a straight face, and no one could hear the sternness in his tone.
Zhao Xiaojun and his group have known each other for ten years, and when they were trained under Yang Laosan, they were the team leaders of Wu Zheng and several others, and they were the team commanders on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, plus he was the oldest, and several people have always regarded him as a big brother, including a few years in Xiangjiang, Zhao Xiaojun has always protected them as his own little brothers, but once he makes a mistake, he will inevitably be severely scolded.
"No, it doesn't matter. Wu Zheng lowered his head and pouted. He is the youngest of several people, but twenty-six or seventeen years old, he accepts new things quickly, and his mind is relatively open-minded.
"What are you doing? Old Zhao, Wu Zheng is not married, pursuing a girl, why are you so strict?" Xu Jing didn't expect Zhao Xiaojun to leave Wu Zheng behind for this matter, so he couldn't help but want to laugh a little while persuading.
"Xiao Jing, you haven't been in other crews, you don't know, there are too many messy and dirty things in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry. Zhao Xiaojun's tone relaxed, and said: "He is still young, I'm afraid that one day he will bring those messy things to the company." ”
"Alright, alright. Xu Jing soothed, and then turned to Wu Zheng and said, "You should pay attention in the future." Also, that Li Jiaxin is not as simple as it seems on the surface, be careful, you go over there first. ”
Although she doesn't know Li Jiaxin very well, but the people she has dated in the original time and space are either rich or expensive, people block people in love, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, and finally marries a wealthy family and becomes a winner in life Xu Jing knows a little, he doesn't think that Li Jiaxin can wander among several rich people just by relying on this face.
"Understood, hehe. Wu Zheng had some antibodies to Zhao Xiaojun's scolding, and after listening to Xu Jing's support, he couldn't help but smile, turned around and walked towards Li Jiaxin.
"If you have a little power, you dare to mess around, see if I don't throw you back as a coolie!" Zhao Xiaojun added to Wu Zheng's back.
"Huh... Xu Jing was amused by Zhao Xiaojun's words.
"Big Mac, you're still young, but don't learn that nonsense. Before Xu Jing stopped laughing, Zhou Xiaoxun next to him suddenly said this to him with a serious face.
"Hey, what are you talking nonsense about!" Xu Jing's laughter stopped abruptly, and he was so angry that he reached out to catch Zhou Xiaoxun.
"Haha... Zhou Xiaoxun giggled and pulled his legs around Zhao Xiaojun and Xu Jing in a circle, and even Zhao Xiaojun, who had a serious face, was happy.
After a while, Cheng Kui'an, who had not shown up for a long time, finally arrived with a tired body. I saw that his face was pale, his complexion was a little scary, and even his eyes still had clearly visible dark circles and bags under his eyes, as if he was seriously ill.
"Director, I'm sorry, I'm late. Cheng Kuian said a little embarrassed.
As early as the filming of "Killer", Cheng Kuian made a cameo appearance in cooperation with Jiuzhou Company, so naturally there is no need to introduce it to everyone at this time.
"Mr. Cheng, are you sick?" Although he was a little unhappy with his late behavior, Xu Jing couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw him like this.
"It's okay, I've been a little busy lately, I'm tired. Cheng Kuian replied.
"Okay, let's sit here first, the press conference is about to start. At this time, everyone had been waiting for a long time, and Xu Jing didn't say anything more, so he guided Cheng Kuian to sit down aside.
As when filming "Killer", the start-up ceremony was simple, but because of the presence of the media, the unveiling ceremony was arranged directly before the start-up banquet. After Wu Zheng presided over the beginning, Lin Jianguo stepped onto the stage.
"Thank you very much for coming to the opening ceremony of our Jiuzhou company's new movie "Haibian King", but before releasing the relevant news of "Haibian King", I will announce a good news here, hehe. Lin Jianguo said with a smile on his face: "That is, the "Killer" produced by our Jiuzhou Company set a box office of 37.25 million, officially setting a new box office record for Xiangjiang movies!"
"Wow... There was a commotion from the audience, not only from the media reporters who were invited, but also from many behind-the-scenes staff who did not know about it before.
"Pap~Papa~Pap~" may be because most of the crew members are still the original cast, everyone present applauded and cheered, no matter what, the film "Killer" has their share of sweat in it.
。。。。
"First of all, I'm very happy that "Hitman" can achieve this result and continue to break the original box office record, which I think is the pursuit of every filmmaker. When it was Xu Jing's turn to speak, he naturally didn't need a manuscript, and said what he thought: "Being able to set a new box office record is an affirmation of our efforts, including all the behind-the-scenes staff, especially Zhao Xiaojun's producer, Wu Zheng, Qin Tian and other assistants, as well as photographer Mr. Bao Dexi, who have supported the entire crew, and it can be said that they are the real heroes of "Killer". ”
"So, here, I want to say thank you to them first!" Xu Jing said, and bowed slightly in the direction of Zhao Xiaojun and the rest of the crew in the audience.
"Pap~Papa~Pap~" With Xu Jing's actions, waves of applause rang out from the audience, which was more enthusiastic and long-lasting than when Lin Jianguo announced that "Killer" had set a new record just now.
The entertainment industry at this time is not what it looks like decades later, compared with the glamorous stars in front of the screen, except for those important positions such as lighting and photography, the other behind-the-scenes staff can be described as the lowest and most undignified existence.
It is very common for other crews to be beaten and scolded by the foremen, and the salary is also very low, and many behind-the-scenes personnel have to rush several times a day to barely support their families. That is, Xu Jing's crew will give them the most respect and higher salaries.
Compared with other behind-the-scenes personnel, Zhao Xiaojun and Wu Zheng were even more moved when they saw Xu Jing calling out their names in front of many media, and even a few bright lights flashed in the corners of their eyes.
Over the years in Xiangjiang, they have encountered many cold eyes and ridicule, how much indifference and contempt they have felt, and how many grievances and injustices they have endured because of their identity, but I am afraid that only they know it. Men have endured hardships and endured hardships, but they only feel powerless and aggrieved by discrimination that they cannot get the most basic respect.
However, at this moment, all the powerlessness and grievances that those have encountered are vented, and they use their own works to trample those who once looked down on them, building a benchmark that all Hong Kong filmmakers want to surpass.
With this breath, they are happy and have clear thoughts.
