Chapter 34: Gathering the "Stars"

Of course, Maggie Cheung will not agree to Chen Yongren's marriage proposal, and the previous Hong Kong sisters are all women with beauty and wisdom; Maggie Cheung, who was the runner-up of the last Miss Hong Kong, although her emotional intelligence was a little purer because of her first love, she did not reach the point of losing her mind. What's more, there is a good sister Zhong Chuhong who has been around for a long time, but Chen Yongren's affectionate confession still has some effect......

Maggie Cheung came back to her senses and said with a red face: "Ah Ren, you're not joking, are you?" How can we ......".

"Chen Yongren, your brain is caught in the door, right? You and Ayu are only twenty years old, and now you are going to talk about marriage? "Zhong Chuhong's love fluctuations cannot be ignored.

Of course, Chen Yongren's brain had not been caught by the door, and he was the most sober of the three people present. In terms of the substantive requirements of marriage, mainland law requires that the age of marriage shall not be earlier than 22 years for men and 20 years old for women. Hong Kong legislation stipulates that no man or woman under the age of 16 may marry, and those over the age of 16 and under the age of 21 must obtain the consent of both parents or guardians to marry. Only men and women who have reached the age of 21 can enter into marriage on their own. Chen Yongren and Maggie Cheung have just reached the age of 20 and have met the conditions for marriage in a certain sense, but he is now playing a hot-headed infatuated prodigal son, so he can't show that his reason is sober, and of course he can't pretend to be stupid too much for the two. He pretended to be calm and said: "Ayu, I don't want to force you to make a statement, but to show my intentions, some things can't be changed, but I am willing to be locked by you for the rest of my life, do you understand?" ”。

Maggie Cheung's eyes were red, and she nodded with emotion: "I believe in you!" ”。

Isn't it a little too shameless? Chen Yongren's figure suddenly appeared in his heart, and he looked at Maggie Cheung's appearance and struggled. But she put this thought aside in an instant, Maggie Cheung herself was really reluctant, as for Chen Yulian, not to mention, she took her first time and patted her ass and left, how could it be so cheap? Let's take it one step at a time!

Zhong Chuhong said in disbelief: "Ayu, aren't you really going to marry him?" ”。

Maggie Cheung blushed when she heard this and said to Chen Yongren: "Ah Ren, I don't want to reject you, but after all, our age is still a little inappropriate, so we get married...... Let's talk about it later, right? ”。

"It's not small!" Chen Yongren stared at Maggie Cheung's chest and muttered.

"Huh?" Maggie Cheung heard Chen Yongren's voice and asked questions, but when she saw the latter's gaze clearly, she was embarrassed and pushed Chen Yongren's face in another direction.

"Phew! Little rascal......" Zhong Chuhong scolded Chen Yongren and turned to Maggie Cheung and asked, "Ayu, do you really believe in this little bastard's rhetoric?" ”。

Maggie Cheung stopped talking, and Chen Yongren secretly winked at Zhong Chuhong proudly, causing the latter to grit his teeth for a while......

Farewell Maggie Cheung, Chen Yongren felt relaxed for a while; One is because of the resolution of emotional entanglements, and the other is because Zhong Chuhong told him that the turmoil between him and Chen Yulian has begun to fade when he is leaving; The current news media is not as hysterical about entertainment news as it will be in the future, and it is relatively easy to speak, Fang Yihua has settled down, and as for those tabloids and magazines and after-dinner conversations among the people, they don't need to pay attention to it!

He can rest assured to start the first step of his long march and return to Yongjia to prepare for a new movie, Chen Xunqi had the same reaction as Wang Jing when he first read his original script, disagreeing with the filming and asking for a different script; It wasn't until Chen Yongren explained in detail the concept of wanting to make a movie for him that Chen Xunqi was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Chen Yongren's film ideology to be so extraordinary, and his ideas were amazing. But Chen Yongren and Chen Xunqi have a special relationship, the shareholders of Yongjia Company are not only Chen Xunqi, Lei Juekun of the Golden Princess Cinema is the big boss, and there is also Li Yingzhuo; Chen Xunqi promised to invest 500,000 yuan, but only 100,000 yuan was taken from Yongjia's book in order to be issued, and he privately invested another 400,000 yuan.

Although today's Hong Kong film industry has begun to show its prosperity, it has not yet entered a crazy moment, most of the film production zuò only costs hundreds of thousands, and even some small film companies only use tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars to make films that cost not to be released in theaters, and they can make money by selling videotapes; The remuneration of celebrities is also less than one million Hong Kong dollars, although top superstars like Jackie Chan and Xu Guanjie claim to be one million Hong Kong dollars, but they shoot in Golden Harvest and New Arts City, at most, it is only 800,000, and the first-line stars of TV stations like Wireless Five Tigers are not making money by the number of episodes now, but a fixed salary of tens of thousands of yuan at most every month, and they get tens of thousands of dollars a month after working hard, no wonder Andy Lau and they will strike and make trouble half a year later, But even so, there are still people who can only earn 1,800 yuan a month and rush to play tricks on wireless.

Chen Yongren didn't plan to find a star who had already become famous, the shooting funds could be saved, and the film relied on story and technology. He first asked Chen Xunqi to help organize the production team, and then borrowed the latter's car to travel around Hong Kong for three days, and finally selected a few suitable shooting locations, all of which were borrowed in the form of sponsorship, but he was responsible for some prop costs.

After three days, Wang Jing came to Yongjia again, unlike last time, this time he did not come alone, but with a large number of people, a group of people are imposing, several of them look vicious, so that Yongjia employees think that there is an underworld to smash the field, scared to the fart, hurriedly found Chen Xunqi, the latter came out to see, sighed helplessly, and said to Wang Jing: "Ah Ren is waiting for you in the conference room!" After saying that, the group led the way, and the group came to the Yongjia conference room.

In the conference room, Li Ying taught Chen Yongren a lesson: "What do you brothers mean by this? Treat me like an outsider, don't you? Is it necessary to make a movie to avoid suspicion? Take that little money to invite a group of new actors to film, and let you and Xunqi pay out of their own pockets! ”。

Chen Yongren said with a smile: "Don't be angry, brother, of course I won't see you, but after all, there is a Boss Lei behind Yongjia, and it is my first time to make a movie, it is really inconvenient to take Yongjia's money, I just don't treat you as an outsider, so I invite you to make a cameo, what do you say?" ”。

Li Ying nodded and said nothing after hearing the explanation, Chen Yongren turned to another fierce-looking person beside him and asked with a smile, "How long has Brother Dasha been with Brother Xiu?" ”。

Cheng Kuian smiled and said: "It's been 5 or 6 years, I heard Brother Xiu say that I still don't believe it, but I didn't expect Brother Chen to know that I am such a person, and he asked me to play an important role!" ”。

Chen Yongren was about to say something, when Chen Xunqi came in with Wang Jing and his party; Chen Yongren's eyes lit up, this group of people has several future actors! Thinking that after they become famous in the future, I will have the grace of knowing them, and the movies I want to make are originally masterpieces, and all the actors will be famous characters in the future, I am still a little excited to think about it!

Wang Jing saw Chen Yongren squinting his small eyes and stepped forward and said with a smile: "Director Chen, the things you have entrusted me have been successfully completed, there are many of them!" ”。

The people who came with Wang Jing were originally excited, but when they heard Wang Jing's words to Chen Yongren, they were stunned and reacted differently......

Wu Zhenyu touched his nose and leaned into Liu Qingyun's ear and whispered, "Isn't it...... This kid is the one who asked us to act? It doesn't look like we're as old as us! The director can't be him, right? ”。

Liu Qingyun said quietly: "Why do you care so much? Aren't we playing tricks in TV dramas? Besides, people can talk and laugh with Uncle Tianlin's son, there must be some real materials, they can see us, and they are still shooting movies, so be content! ”。

Huang Qiusheng also leaned into Yin Tianzhao's ear and asked quietly: "How do I think that kid is a little familiar!" Do you have any impressions? ”。

Yin Tianzhao shook his head, Wu Yijiang observed Chen Yongren for a while, but his eyes lit up, and he whispered to the two: "Do you think that kid looks like the person in the newspaper and the TVB TV station two days ago, Hua Dan Chen Yulian stayed overnight in the hotel?" Huang Qiusheng observed Chen Yongren again and gasped......

Stephen Chow was a little disappointed, Xu Jinjiang and Zhang Zhaohui were expressionless, just curiously looking at the surrounding situation, and the others were also whispering. Chen Yongren saw everyone's reaction in his eyes, he understood it, he was expressionless, walked up to everyone and said: "I believe you already know the purpose of inviting you to come, my surname is Chen, and I am the director of this movie, I like to go straight, do you have any questions?" No doubts, I'll just go step by step! ”。

Seeing Liu Qingyun and Stephen Chow raising their hands at the same time, Chen Yongren smiled when he saw this, and first pointed to Liu Qingyun and said, "This brother will say ...... first."

Liu Qingyun said: "I want to ask Mr. Chen, what kind of movie are you looking for us to make?" The others also looked at Chen Yongren curiously; If Chen Yongren replied that it was a restricted-level heavy-tasting movie, it is estimated that Liu Qingyun, Stephen Chow and several others would turn around and leave.

Chen Yongren smiled when he thought of this, and replied: "It's a comedy, this movie doesn't have women to participate, only some gunfights and gambling scenes are restricted, and the rest are serious plots!" ”。

Liu Qingyun nodded and said no more, Stephen Chow saw this and then asked: "I want to ask Mr. Chen why he designated to find us, I can see that Mr. Wang Jing has a clear goal!" Everyone is also concerned about the answer to this question, the fact is so, Wang Jing found them all by being guided to find them, the purpose is very clear, they are not celebrities, they are very curious why they are concerned. As for Stephen Chow, although his question was a little plain, his thoughts were a little different from those of others, what he thought was-"Has anyone finally discovered my dusty pearl?" ”。

Chen Yongren secretly praised, the future star master is really wise, in a word, of course he can't say that he knows them, such an arrogant heart for a lifetime, and the majesty of his director is there. He replied indifferently: "The reason for looking for you is very simple, because you are all unknown young actors, and the salary is very negotiable, my film relies on the story and shooting skills, and the requirements for actors are not very much, so the shooting expenses can naturally be saved!" ”。

Everyone was disappointed when they heard this, and Stephen Chow was even more dissatisfied with Chen Yongren's answer, and asked unwillingly: "But...... There are tens of thousands of actors in Hong Kong, but Mr. Wang found us by name, how do you explain this? ”。

Chen Yongren knew that his answer was a bit excessive, and he hit these people, and he needed to supplement and ease up, otherwise it would be a big sin if he lost his momentum, so he heard the words: "The reason why I can find you by name is because I specially went to inquire about the student information of the artist training classes of the two TV stations, wireless and ATV, you are all systematically trained talents, and although my movie does not have high requirements for actors, it can't be completely unnecessary, you are all graduates of the artist training class, and it is definitely different from the general dragon set, Although it is still unknown, I am very optimistic about your potential, so I specially found you, understand? ”。

Everyone heard Chen Yongren say that they were different from ordinary tricks, they had great potential, and their confidence was finally restored, although Stephen Chow was still lost, he didn't say anything more.

Chen Yongren was about to say something, but when he saw Huang Qiusheng raise his hand, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What else does this brother have to ask?" ”。

Huang Qiusheng rubbed his hands and asked with a strange smile: "I want to ask Mr. Chen, are you the person who was with Xiaolongnu in the newspaper two days ago?" ”。

"I ...... By ......".

"It's really ......".

"I mean...... Familiar ......".

"I'm struggling ......."

Looking at the different reactions of everyone, Chen Yongren's face darkened, this Huang Qiusheng is really open-mouthed, no, I have to take him as my queen actor in the future, take him with me and train him well, so as to save the trouble in the future, it is a pity that the film industry loses such an actor with acting skills......
