Chapter 17: Christmas Night

In fact, as Jiang Sheng and Lu Feng said, Cheng Tianci was extremely harsh on Chen Yongren in the next few days; He won't have nothing to do, but Chen Yongren will inevitably have some mistakes in the process of work, Cheng Tianci himself is one of the directors, Zhang Che is okay to say when he is there, just criticize a little, but if Zhang Che is not there, Cheng Tianci will be ruthless; Slowly Chen Yongren also became angry, the two of them were incompatible, and in the end, Zhang Che had no choice, after all, the two did not affect their work, and they were both talking about things, so they tossed for a week, and the movie was finally filmed, and the whole crew was relieved.

"Changhe" editing room, Zhang Che and Chen Yongren have been here for two days and two nights, the latter has studied a lot of editing techniques before, and suddenly understood the mystery of many movies that have been seen before, after two days of practice and Zhang Che's guidance, there is already a clear understanding, today the work has been completed, Zhang Che stopped him, and said: "Ah Ren, I don't know what to say about you and God's gift!" I'll say sorry to you on behalf of my godson! ”。

Chen Yongren said "don't dare": "Director, you are serious, in fact, Senior Brother Cheng only gave me some guidance when I made a mistake in my work, he is my senior, and there is nothing wrong with him." ”。

Zhang Che also smiled helplessly: "I can see that you are a free and easy person, but you are also a person with a very stubborn temper like Tianci, if my guess is right, you are not ready to continue to stay in the 'Long River', right?" ”。

Chen Yongren apologized: "First of all, thank you, I have learned a lot during this time of 'Long River', but I don't want to make it difficult for you to be a person and affect the relationship between you and Senior Brother Cheng because of my reasons!" Some time ago, director Wang Jing asked me to participate in one of his films, and I agreed, but in the future, whether it is you or 'Changhe', but if there is something, I will definitely do my part. ”。

"Wang Jing? Wang Tianlin's son? Seeing Chen Yongren nodding yes, Zhang Che nodded and said, "Hmm! It's okay, you young people will have new ideas together, and the 'long river' is old after all! Zhang Che sighed with emotion. He didn't know that Chen Yongren's participation was just a cameo for a few minutes.

After that, Chen Yongren greeted Jiang Sheng and Lu Feng, and the two of them had no choice but to accept the reality when they learned the details, after all, both ends are reasonable, both have a bad temper, and only one person takes the initiative to leave is the best result.

When Chen Yongren returned home in the afternoon, Chen's father and Chen's mother had not yet gotten off work, so he sat on the sofa and turned on the TV, but fell asleep unconsciously......

Chen Qitai and Shi Xiuzhu returned to the door of their homes after work, but saw that the door was wide open, the two thought that the house was being burglarized, and panicked to the living room, but found Chen Yongren lying on the sofa and falling asleep, Shi Xiuzhu was about to wake up, Chen Qitai stopped: "He hasn't been home for half a month, he should be tired, let him sleep like that!" He turned off the TV as he spoke.

When Chen Yongren woke up, it was eight o'clock in the evening, he lifted the blanket on his body and sat up, he suddenly felt a backache, and he was in a daze, when Shen Mu's voice came: "Ah Ren, are you awake?" I'm going to give you something hot to eat! ”

Chen Yongren washed up and came back to his senses, looked at the time, and said with emotion: "I have stayed up day and night for three days, no wonder those stars practice martial arts, and the average body really can't bear it!" ”。

"That's right! Ah-in, Xunqi called you, and he didn't say anything, just called him home if you could wake up at night. Mother Chen said as she brought a bowl of hot porridge from the kitchen.

"Oh......" Chen Yongren took the rice porridge and put it on the coffee table, turned his head and dialed Chen Xunqi's house first: "Hey...... Brother, what's the matter? ”。

On the other side, Chen Xunqi said angrily: "You don't tell me when you leave the 'Long River'?" If it hadn't been for Mr. Zhang calling me, I wouldn't have known! ”。

"I stayed up in Clear Water Bay for half a month, and I fell asleep as soon as I got home in the afternoon, where do I have time to tell you!" Chen Yongren smiled bitterly.

"So what do you do next? I heard Mr. Zhang say that you took Wang Jing's movie, what's going on? When did you meet Wang Jing? Chen Xunqi asked three questions in a row.

Chen Yongren chewed a mouthful of rice porridge and said: "It was purely an accident that Wang Jing and I met, saying that picking up his movie is actually to string up a trick, as for what to do next, let's talk about it!" ”。

"What do you mean? Forget it, are you okay lately? Chen Xunqi said helplessly.

"It's okay!".

"I know you slept in Clear Water Bay for half a month, you rest first for these two days, and wait for me at 6 o'clock Christmas night in three days at the south exit of Times Square in Wan Chai, and I will take you to a party!"

"Good...... Got it! ”。 Chen Yongren hung up the phone, and Chen's mother was concerned: "Ah Ren, what's wrong?" ”。

Chen Yongren didn't want him to worry, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, Brother Qi wants me to have a party with him at Christmas." ”。

"Oh...... You should have a lot of celebrities at your party, right? ”。

"There should be! Besides, isn't Brother Qi himself a star? ”。

"It's different, I'm talking about female stars.".

"What about female celebrities?" Chen Yongren buried his head in drinking porridge.

Mother Chen was very excited: "Then you have to show yourself well, get to know a few more female stars as friends, after a long time in the future, the relationship is deep, take Huang Rong or Xiaolongnu home, your mother will wake up laughing in her dreams!" ”。

Chen Yongren yawned, got up and said, "The porridge is finished, I'll go to sleep first, Mom, you should rest early!" As he spoke, he returned to his bedroom and closed the door.

"Didn't you just wake up? This kid ......," Chen's mother nagged and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table.

Of course Chen Yongren didn't sleep, he continued to bury his head in the draft, he didn't write in the last three days when he was concentrating on editing in "Long River", Shen Baoxin has asked twice, "Curse" has been serialized for half a month, and readers have already had a good response, of course, horror novels belong to a niche hobby after all, so they have not caused any waves in Hong Kong, but a small number of people in Hong Kong have remembered a horror novelist called "Not a Woman". For the next three days, Chen Yongren stayed at home and coded words, and this time he was ruthless, writing nearly 100,000 words in three days.

On the afternoon of Christmas, Chen Yongren came to the south gate of Times Square in Wan Chai, and waited for nearly 20 minutes, Chen Xunqi drove a Toyota car to Chen Yongren, and there was a beautiful woman in the passenger seat, Chen Yongren knew, he understood what was going on, but his face was silent, he looked at his watch and complained: "You are really punctual!" Not too early, not too late, not a little worse! ”。

"Of course, I have a good sense of time." Chen Xunqi replied, and then raised his head: "Hurry up and get in the car, let's hurry!" ”。

Chen Yongren got into the car, Chen Xunqi was about to introduce the woman next to him, the former saw what he meant, waved his hand and said, "No need to introduce!" Then he stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Miss Ni Shujun!" ”。

Ni Shujun nodded and said politely: "Hello, Mr. Chen!" ”。

Chen Yongren let go of the beauty and joked: "Brother, it seems that you and Miss Ni are not familiar with each other!" ”。

Chen Xunqi found it interesting: "What do you say? ”

"He called me Mr. Chen."

Chen Xunqi smiled and winked at Ni Shujun, who was very embarrassed and greeted: "Hello, Ah Ren! ”。

Chen Yongren nodded again and asked Chen Xunqi, "Where are we going?" ”

"I have a friend who has a Christmas party, I will take you to meet some people tonight, we have more acquaintances in this circle, it is very convenient to do anything, it will be helpful to you in the future." Chen Xunqi said and started the car.

Not long after, Chen Yongren drove to a large villa, although Chen Yongren had never been here, but he also knew that this was a mid-level area, Hong Kong's top residential area, the price was expensive, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and said to himself: "No star should be able to afford this kind of villa now, right?" ”。

"What did you say?" Chen Xunqi stopped and asked.

Chen Yongren came back to his senses and asked, "Who is holding this PARTY?" ”。

Chen Xunqi asked rhetorically: "Do you know which movie is the hottest in the Hong Kong film industry these days?" ”。

"I don't know!" Chen Yongren's answer made the former speechless.

"You haven't read the news, newspapers, or anything in the past few days?"

"Nope!" Chen Yongren has been coding at home to catch up with the manuscript for the past few days, and it can really be said that "he doesn't listen to things outside the window, and he is only interested in earning manuscript fees", and he doesn't know anything about the film industry at all, because he can't do anything now, and he can't worry so much. Although he can write a lot of scripts to go to Golden Harvest and New Arts City to sell, but the most important thing in Hong Kong now is screenwriters, and the Seven Monsters of New Arts City can make up a script with any idea, no one is sure that his script will sell well, who is willing to spend money to buy chicken ribs, and he doesn't want to plagiarize the scripts of classic Hong Kong films, because these classics are a process accumulated by those filmmakers, and creating them in advance may not necessarily produce the same effect, because people will not let him be a newcomer to point fingers at the filming of the movie. Moreover, pulling out the seedlings is not helpful, and without a classic creative process, their achievements may not continue to reach the heights of the future.

Chen Xunqi looked at Chen Yongren's inexplicable expression, and said helplessly: "This is the PARTY held by my good brother Jackie Chan, his new movie "Plan A" was a box office hit for three days after its release, just in time for Christmas, so I will hold this PARTY to celebrate!" ”。

"This is Jackie Chan's villa?".

"At this time, he godfather He Guanchang's villa.".

Chen Yongren suddenly realized......
