Zou Xingchi was silent at the dinner table, his attention was all on Chen Yongren's table behind him, and when he heard a group of people talking about the news about Chen Yongren's next movie, there was a trace of fluctuation in his heart; Looking up at the people laughing next to him, he had a plan in his heart; He knocked lightly on the table, attracting everyone's attention, and said in a low voice, "Have you been found in Mr. Chen's next play?" ”。

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads in unison; Zou Xingchi was disappointed, but he heard Wu Zhenyu sigh: "We don't have this table, but I heard Xu ** say that Mr. Chen has found him!" ”。

"Xu**?" Several people exclaimed in surprise when they heard this......

"Ah...... Do you have something to do with me? Xu **, who was at the other table next to him, turned his head curiously.

Zou Xingchi came to Xu ** in a blink of an eye, and said to Lin Zixiong next to him: "Brother Xiong, let's change seats, shall we?" I have something to do with Senior Brother Xu! ”。

Lin Zixiong shook his head, sat down on Zou Xingchi's seat, and asked Wu Zhenyu, "What is that kid doing with Ah Xing?" ”。

Wu Zhenyu sneered: "What else can you do? Want to get ahead! ”。

Ouyang Zhenhua took a sip of wine and frowned: "Actually, there are some things I can't figure out, when filming "Two Big Smoking Guns", I saw that Mr. Chen seemed to be very serious about Ah Xing, named him to make scene notes, and often chatted with him, but afterwards it seemed to have changed, and his attitude towards him was lukewarm!" ”。

Zhang Zhaohui said with a smile: "You don't spend much time in the crew, and the scene was completed early, so there are some things I don't know." Mr. Chen really valued him at the beginning, but later when he was filming, the kid really took a chicken feather as an arrow, and he ran over to tell us how to play the play, and we didn't know, so we acted as he said, but when Mr. Chen was filming, he said that we didn't act right, and the kid actually stepped forward and said that he thought it was very good, and then at that time, I saw Mr. Chen with a black face and asked him, 'Are you a director or am I a director?' ’。 Once when I was in the bathroom, I accidentally found that Mr. Chen mentioned him, but I couldn't understand what he said, what he said, 'It's always a star master, not a star boy!' It seems that it is still necessary to reduce the impact on some people, in case it accidentally changes the trajectory of their lives, it is not good for some people to become famous later, but it is not necessarily a good thing to become famous earlier! Let him go for a few years......' and then ...... And then there was no more then! ”。

After Zou Xingchi sat down, Xu ** said strangely: "Ah Xing, what's the matter?" ”。

"I heard that Mr. Chen asked you to participate in his next movie?". Zou Xingchi looked at Xu ** with burning eyes.

Xu ** suddenly realized: "This thing! But it's just a small role, and it's also because I signed a contract with Mr. Chen's newly established film company! ”。

"You signed a contract with Mr. Chen's company?" Zou Xingchi was stunned, and suddenly asked, "Why is he only looking for you?" ”。

Xu ** smiled and said: "I also asked him so, and he said that he was looking for me because my contract with wireless was the only one in our group this year that expired, and he cooperated with the TV station, and it was not convenient to pull people ...... on a large scale."

At the end of the banquet, Zhang Manyu was about to say goodbye to Chen Yongren after getting into the car with Zhong Changhong, but saw the latter sitting in the car, and closed the door, and then put on the appearance that he was a taxi passenger, the two were dumbfounded, Zhong Changhong asked: "Let's go home, what are you doing with you?" ”。

Chen Yongren was about to speak, when he suddenly heard the sound of the car window being knocked in his ear, and turned his head, but it was Zou Xingchi; Lowering the car window, Chen Yongren smiled and said, "Ah Xing! What's the matter? ”。

Zou Xingchi first greeted Zhong Changhong and Zhang Manyu with a smile, and then asked Chen Yongren: "Mr. Chen, I want to ask if there is a suitable role for me in your next movie?" Or it's behind the scenes......

Chen Yongren said helplessly: "I'm sorry, the role is really not suitable for you, as for the behind-the-scenes, this movie is different from "Two Big Smoking Guns", the requirements for many aspects are very high, and I have no confidence myself, so I found my teacher to be the producer for me, so ...... I'll be sure to look for you next time I need it, okay? ”。

Zou Xingchi looked disappointed and forced a smile: "Since that's the case...... Mr. Chen, remember to look for me next time! ”。

"Well, I see you've drunk a little too much, it's late, why don't you go back and rest early?"

"Hmm...... Goodbye Mr. Chen! ”。

"Goodbye! Pay attention to safety ...... on the road".

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!".

Chen Yongren looked at Zou Xingchi's back and sighed, and said in his heart: "Master Xing, don't blame me, I am also for your good, it's not good to delay you with me now, you hold on for a few more years, hone for a while, and a better tomorrow is beckon......ing to you."

Each era has its own unique color. Even a time-traveler may be able to easily change the future of himself and others, but it is difficult to change the world; Unless you cross over to become a god, remember four words - follow the rules.

Hong Kong people in the 60s loved to watch Huangmei Opera, in the early 70s, they liked to watch martial arts, and in the late 70s, they liked to watch ghost horse comedies. The current Hong Kong culture is still in a transitional period, and the nonsensical culture has not yet appeared, just like "Two Big Smoking Guns", which will not be accepted by too many people. Even after Zou Xingchi was 97, he also made a change in his performance style, starting from "Shaolin Football", the performance form shifted from nonsense to "Two Big Smoking Guns"-style black humor, and the genre films of the same period also included Galaxy Imaging's signature work "The Birth of a Word" and Wu Zhenyu's stylized interpretation of the representative work "Mong Kok Fit".

In his book "The Secret of Hong Kong Cinema", future scholar David Bordwell described the golden age of Hong Kong cinema as "all over-the-top and crazy", which is actually due to the characteristics of the times, and these eight words reflect the mentality of Hong Kong people at this time to a certain extent.

Chen Yongren has also been paying attention to the news in this regard, after two years of secret consultations between China and Britain on the Hong Kong issue, since the end of last year has entered the stage of formal talks, when he attended the film festival in Cannes, Hong Kong also had a noisy "garrison incident", and so on until the end of the year is when the "Sino-British Joint Declaration" is signed, the relatives who have been separated for a hundred years will be reunited, but the wanderer is not pure joy, but the mood is complicated, people from the two worlds need to go through a lot of time to run in, In the future, Mango Channel will have a variety show "Metamorphosis", which can explain this situation to a certain extent, and it is still so difficult for immature children to run in with another world, not to mention the two regions that have been separated from cultural differences for a hundred years, and have completely different worldviews and values!

"Hey...... What do you think? Zhong Changhong looked at Chen Yongren, who was frowning and stunned, and shouted.

"Huh? Oh...... What the? Chen Yongren came back to his senses.

Zhong Changhong rolled her eyes and said angrily: "I asked you and Ah Yu to go home, what are you doing in my car?" Don't you own a car? Besides, it's not the same path......".

Chen Yongren said with a smile: "I don't worry about your two girls' family, so I will send you ......."

"You drive your own car and follow it differently, can you send it? What do you do with my car? Zhong Changhong was suspicious, she always felt that there was something wrong with Chen Yongren, and it was related to her.

"My brother didn't drive today, and he was still in my car when he came, so he had already driven home just now!".

"Then how are you going to go back after you send us off?".

"Wouldn't you get a taxi?"

Zhong Changhong had no choice but to start the car, and just after a minute, Chen Yongren coughed twice and pretended to say casually: "Huh...... Sister Hong, I'll discuss something with you! ”。

As soon as Chen Yongren finished speaking, he felt a shock in the car and stopped, and then Zhong Changhong said with an undoubted voice: "Get out of the car immediately......."

Chen Yongren was dumbfounded, and said with a dry smile: "Sister Hong, this is not your style!" ”。

Zhong Changhong glanced at him and said slowly: "The one who is close to ink is black, after being with you for a long time, it is inevitable that I will get some bad problems!" ”。

"Why don't you listen to me?"

"First, you've upset my aunt and grandmother today, so I don't want to hear anything you say; Second, I don't have to listen to know that it's definitely not a good thing for you to look for me, otherwise you would have spoken to me in the tone you just had? ”。

Chen Yongren smiled and said: "You guessed wrong, first, I'm afraid you can't listen to this matter if you don't want to, because it has something to do with you; Second, of course I'm looking for you because there are good things, and more than one good thing! ”。

"You're a liar?" , Zhong Changhong snorted coldly.

"Look at what you said, Sister Hong, although you have played a ghost, you are not a real ghost!"

"You're admitting that you're lying to me?"

Chen Yongren sighed: "Sister Hong, why are you so smart? It's not necessarily a good thing for a woman to be too smart......".

"Don't talk about useless things, get out of the car immediately, or I'll call the police......."

"You won't!".

"I'll ......".

"You won't, unless you want to make the headlines tomorrow!".

After a moment of silence, "You're threatening me?" Zhong Changhong stared at Chen Yongren's eyes.

"Hey...... You don't want to do this, okay? There's something to discuss! ”； Zhang Manyu watched the two of them move for a long time, and finally spoke.

Chen Yongren suddenly made a pitiful look, and said to Zhong Changhong: "Sister Hong, you see, the relationship between Ah Yu and me is so good, don't you embarrass her?" Your relationship with her is so good, so why bother her? How embarrassed she is to be caught in the middle! Besides, why should women be embarrassed by women? It's better to look at Ah Yu's face, and you will start with ...... No, it should be ...... It's not right, you might as well just spare me! ”。

Zhong Changhong looked at Zhang Manyu's pitiful appearance, and said helplessly: "Okay! What is it that you want to talk about first? ”。

"It's a very simple ......", Chen Yongren said cautiously: "You visit Ling Qingxia on behalf of the three of us, and invite her to be the heroine of my movie ...... by the way."

"What?" Zhong Changhong's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Why don't you go by yourself?" And also...... It seems to be all your business, what does it have to do with me? ”。

"You are also the party of that day, why is it okay?" Chen Yongren was straightforward, and his eyes were rounder than Zhong Changhong; Suddenly, he persuaded again: "This matter must be over!" And everyone is in a circle, maybe one day we will have to cooperate, isn't it even more so if it drags on for a long time? ”。

"Then why isn't it you, it's not Ah Yu, it must be me?"

Chen Yongren turned to Zhang Manyu and asked, "Ah Yu, if you go to see Miss Ling, do you know what to say?" ”。

Zhang Manyu was stunned for a moment, "Huh...... I...... I ......", but he didn't spit out a complete sentence for a long time.

"Look at ...... Can Ah Yu go? Chen Yongren looked at Zhong Changhong.

Zhong Changhong glanced at Zhang Manyu, who lowered her head, and asked, "Why don't you go yourself?" ”。

"Aren't you all women! Aren't women and women easy to talk to? ”。

"Then you are still a man, you don't have any responsibility as a man, let me be a woman in front of you to solve things?".

"Then you're older than me, and I'll call you sister, won't you take care of me as a younger brother as a sister?"

Zhong Changhong waved her hand, "Don't ...... Don't call me sister in the future, I won't recognize it if you call it, I don't have the blessing to be your sister! ”。

"But I'm blessed to be your brother!".

"Are you still going to be shameless?" Zhong Changhong couldn't believe it.

Chen Yongren sighed: "You see, or not, the face is here, not black, not white; I want it, or I don't want it, the face is still here, not thick, not thin! ”； As he spoke, he leaned forward and pulled Zhong Changhong's arm and said, "If you don't believe it, it's okay to touch it, it's okay to pinch it......."

Zhong Changhong shook off Chen Yongren's hand and said: "If you win, I promise you, but I can't guarantee that it will be successful to invite someone to star in your movie!" ”。

Chen Yongren said with a smile: "Sister Hong, I can rest assured that I ......."
