Chapter 232. Cult Guide
Seeing that the man was about to come over, Lei Yaoyang was busy picking up girls and didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he said, "Ah Ting, I'll go hide first." Holding the little star, he squeezed into the crowd.
Chen Xuanting drank to himself, but when he saw the stout man walking to his side, he looked left and right, thinking that Lei Yaoyang was missing, so he muttered in broken Chinese: "Abominable Hong Kong people." ”
Chen Xuanting frowned and said in Chinese, "Sir." Your words are too impolite, it seems that you look down on Hong Kong people, don't you? ”
The stout man was stunned for a moment, and then bowed and apologized: "Hayi, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please forgive me for being rude." ”
Chen Xuanting nodded. and ignored him. The stout man rolled his eyes. took out a script as if playing a trick and handed it to Chen Xuanting: "Sir." I'm a screenwriter, please take a look at the script I wrote, it's very good! You can criticize and advise! ”
met the screenwriter who likes to exaggerate the most, Chen Xuanting shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't like to read strangers' scripts!" ”
The stout man sat down, took out his business card and handed it to Chen Xuanting: "Sir, are you a director from Hong Kong?" Or is it the boss? ”
Chen Xuanting had no choice but to take his business card and glanced at it, "The screenwriter of this book, Takashi Michi?!" ”
What the? Takashi Miike?!
Chen Xuanting was slightly stunned, could it be that the man in front of him who didn't look amazing and looked like he was carrying a liquefied gas tank was the great director Miike Takashi who was famous for his horror and violent aesthetics in his previous life? !
Chen Xuanting was moved, and replied casually: "I am the boss." ”
Miike Chongshi immediately smiled, opened the script, and handed it to Chen Xuanting again very respectfully, with a persistent light in his eyes: "Sir, my script is definitely not rubbish, delay you a little time, can you take a look?" ”
Chen Xuanting smiled, took his script, and said, "I don't like this style of sales." As he spoke, he picked up the script and flipped through it casually.
Michi Chongshi laughed happily, but his eyes stared nervously at Chen Xuanting's expression.
Chen Xuanting looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but be stunned, because the name of this script is "Skin Love"!
If you remember correctly, this is the representative work of Takashi Miike's previous life, and the film is a film that completely subverts the image of a warm girl. Dressed in the garb of a horror movie, it is actually a psychological film. The overall feeling is somewhat similar to the famous international famous "Mulholland Drive".
Takashi Miike asked a little nervously, "How is my script?" ”
Chen Xuanting said lightly: "It's okay." Miike Takashi was a little disappointed and sighed.
Chen Xuanting asked casually: "You really wrote this script?" ”
Miike nodded: "Yes, I wrote it with a friend of mine. ”
Chen Xuanting smiled and said, "No one wants to invest, right?" I don't necessarily like to read this script, let alone us Hong Kong people. ”
Miike Chongshi hung his head and nodded and admitted: "My script is a little too violent, and I have found many film companies and they don't invest." Seeing that I haven't worked for a long time, this friendship is my only chance, damn Yamamoto! Lying and saying that Hong Kong filmmakers will like this kind of script, a ticket deceived me of 50,000 yuan, it is simply blackmail! ”
Chen Xuanting's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and familiar people should know what wishful thinking he had made again.
"Takashi Miike, maybe you can consider going to Hong Kong for development, your style is more suitable for working with some Hong Kong actors than Ben."
Miike Chongshi frowned: "I know, but I really want to finish filming this drama!" However, it seems that there is no hope. ”
Chen Xuanting smiled, as far as he knew, this Miike Chongshi is the director who likes to cooperate with Hong Kong actors the most, such as Li Liqun in "Extreme Underworld", Edison Chen in "DOA2", Li Jiaxin in "Drifting Street", Sun Jiajun in "Killer Ah Yi", etc.
In addition, when it comes to violent movies, most people will think of Takeshi Kitano, but most cult fans will shout the name of Takashi Miike. Takashi Miike's violence is bloody and perverted, as if the ultimate goal is to stir up your stomach. Some say he looks like his films, not just because his films are full of his unbridled private thoughts and preaching. In his films, there is always indignation, reflection, ridicule and criticism of the society. This is a theme that runs through him, and in a sense, Takashi Miike is simply an alternative "social director" with a conscience.
It is precisely for these reasons that Chen Xuanting wants to bring this alternative director under his command, and it is best to let him go to Hong Kong to make Hong Kong films more diversified.
But now people don't want to go out and want to film, so take your time and stew tofu over a smoldering fire, which will be more delicious.
So Chen Xuanting said to Miike Chongshi: "Mr. Michi, you don't have to be discouraged, I know several company bosses in the film industry, and they may be interested in your works." ”
Michi Chongshi's eyes lit up, and he looked at Chen Xuanting hopefully: "Then, then please help me." Introduce me to them. ”
Chen Xuanting frowned and said: "But if you invest in filming this drama, you just provide the script, and this director ......"
Takashi Miike immediately said: "I can also be a director, and I don't need to be paid." ”
Chen Xuanting smiled in his heart, made a very gentle appearance, and said, "Mr. Sanchi." There is a Chinese proverb that says, "Plant melons and get melons, plant beans and get beans!" For you, as long as you contribute, we will never treat you badly. ”
Miike Takashi was overjoyed and said, "Sir, I didn't expect you to be so benevolent, but I still want to meet the boss first." ”
Chen Xuanting shook his head and said, "Don't be too anxious, we still have a saying in China, which is called that you can't eat hot tofu if you are in a hurry!" ”
Miike Chongshi's face collapsed suddenly: "Sir, you're not joking, are you?" ”
Chen Xuanting frowned and said: "I never like to joke, since you don't believe it, then forget it." ”
Miike Chongshi had no choice for a long time, and hurriedly smiled: "How could I not believe it? I can assure you that as long as this drama can be filmed, I will definitely do my best and let me do whatever I want!! ”
Chen Xuanting smiled in his heart. His face remained silent: "It's better to do this, someone will contact you in the afternoon, and he will say that it was introduced by Mr. Chen." ”
Miike Takashi agreed, saying, "I must stay by the telephone." ”
After the drinking party was over, Chen Xuanting greeted the fat man Wang Jing, told him about the investment in filming, and asked him to act as the boss to envelop that Michi Chongshi. Of course, the fat man guarantees that it will be his duty to achieve the satisfactory effect that Chen Xuanting wants.
Chen Xuanting is happy in his heart, if Miike is willing to be the director to shoot "Skin Love", then the script "Hot Blood University" written by himself can also be considered for him to direct.
With this plan, Chen Xuanting next nested in the room to write the script. Many appointments and banquets were excused
For a whole day, he finally finished writing the outline of the script, and Chen Xuanting saw that the time was almost up, and then he remembered that he should call his mother Qiao Huiru to say hello. After all, she has done a lot for herself.
Chen Xuanting dialed Qiao Huiru's phone, and when he heard Chen Xuanting's voice, Qiao Huiru sighed: "Ah Ting, are you in this book?" Or is there something wrong with my number? ”
Chen Xuanting smiled: "I'm in the book." ”
"Huh?" Qiao Huiru was stunned for a moment, and then shouted in surprise: "Where are you?" Where is it? I'm going to pick you up, quick, tell me where you are? ”
Listening to her excited shouting, Chen Xuanting's throat was a little sour, but he still smiled and said, "Keep a low profile, pay attention to a low profile." I don't want to make headlines in newspapers and magazines yet. ”
Qiao Huiru's every move has attracted a lot of attention, it turns out that when she came to Yueben to pave the way, in addition to the huge tens of billions of funds of the Thunder Group, she even brought her own six billion US dollars, and as soon as she came to Yueben, she launched a series of large acquisitions, such as Yueben's electronics industry, real estate industry, hotel industry, etc., all became the objects of her acquisition. For this Chinese woman from Hong Kong, this media uses "Wu Zetian" to describe her domineering.
Many celebrities in the upper class of society can't wait to get on good terms with her. Many big conglomerates, such as Panasonic and Sony, also jointly invited her to participate in various banquets, and in less than half a year, Qiao Huiru has become one of the most famous rich women.
It's because Chen Xuanting doesn't want her to come to see him with a lot of fanfare. If you attract the attention of the media, you will inevitably be tracked by those gossips.
Despite this, Qiao Huiru couldn't hide her excitement, and said in a trembling voice: "Then, then when will you come to see me, I, where will I go to see you!" ”
Chen Xuanting pondered for a moment and said, "I came with a friend, and I have already negotiated several projects. Where are you now, I'll see you! ”
"I'm not in Tokyo, I'm in Osaka, and I'm buying a big hotel!" Qiao Huiru said.
"Well, I'll fly to Osaka tomorrow morning. As for where to meet, it's up to you. ”
Qiao Huiru sneered dissatisfiedly: "You heartless fool, you can still be so calm now!" ”
Chen Xuanting smiled: "This may be the factor inherited from you and your father." ”
There was an obvious pause on the other end of the phone, and Chen Xuanting realized that he had said the wrong thing, and Qiao Huiru was the most reluctant for her son to mention the past. After all, she and Chen Darong are no longer involved.
On the other end of the phone, Qiao Huiru pondered for a few seconds and said, "That's it, you come to the Shangri-La Hotel in Fudao, room 6208." Around two o'clock in the afternoon, someone will be waiting for you in front of the hotel. ”
Chen Xuanting was slightly stunned, Fukushima? I seem to have the impression that this is not the place where the nuclear leak occurred in the previous life?
Chen Xuanting was shocked. It's been more than 20 years since the catastrophe, but it would have been terrible if my mother had actually bought a hotel there.
Thinking of this, Chen Xuanting hurriedly asked: "Mom, did you buy the Shangri-La Hotel?" ”
Qiao Huiru laughed: "This stupid boy, how do you know the ground?" I didn't tell you about that. I just wanted to surprise you. ”
Chen Xuanting said in his heart that this is not a surprise but bad news, do you want your son to live in this hotel with excessive nuclear radiation in the future?!
But think about it again, Qiao Huiru is also doing this for her own good, although Osaka is not as famous as Tokyo, but the land price here is more expensive than Tokyo, because this is a famous ancient city and tourist resort. Many foreign tourists come to Yomoto, and their favorite place to visit is Osaka. Compared to the modern metropolis of Tokyo, Osaka has a more flavorful and cultural atmosphere, and the connotation is richer.
Qiao Huiru valued this point and invested heavily in the acquisition of tourist hotels here. After Chen Xuanting understood this, he also had a plan, after all, the Fukushima disaster still has more than 20 years to come, and it will be OK as long as he sells all the industries in this area in advance. Not only will you not lose money, but you may be able to make a lot of money.
Thinking of this, Chen Xuanting was relieved.
Then again, the economy of Osaka is the best it was in the 90s, and Osaka's economy is thriving as a tourist metropolis. After all, the current housing prices in Osaka are far less terrifying than in the future, and they will definitely double several times dozens of times in the future, and there are nine of the world's largest ten resort hotels in Osaka, and Fukushima is known as the "Kingdom of Fruits", which is fruitful and beautiful all year round!
Mom has undoubtedly made a good big business.
Qiao Huiru said with a smile: "Originally, this hotel was built by the Americans, but the company had financial difficulties and wanted to transfer it, so I invested 200 million US dollars to acquire it, you can see if you like it or not." ”
Chen Xuanting sighed in his heart, 200 million US dollars, a hotel of the same scale in a few years, I am afraid that it will be no less than one billion US dollars.
"You bought it, how could I not like it?" Chen Xuanting said with a smile.
"Huh!" Qiao Huiru was relieved when she heard her son say this.
"Mom, I'm hanging up, it's not early, see you tomorrow!" Chen Xuanting looked at the time and hung up the phone.
On the afternoon of the next day, Chen Xuanting stood outside the giant glass revolving door of Shangri-La Hotel, Osaka, looked up, and looked at this behemoth that reached into the sky.
"Chen Xuantingjun." A soft and crisp voice sounded beside him, Chen Xuanting turned around, and he didn't know when, there was a delicate girl standing beside him, with a black suit, shiny leather shoes, and short hair bangs, making the girl look elegant and quiet.
"Please follow me." The beautiful girl made a gesture of invitation without being humble or arrogant, and helped Chen Xuanting push open the glass door.
followed the girl into the VIP elevator, looking at this quiet girl, Chen Xuanting guessed who she was, the lobby manager here, or Qiao Huiru's personal assistant.
"Hey, what's your name," the elevator swayed up, Chen Xuanting was bored and found a topic.
The quiet girl said indifferently: "My name is Liu Sheng Piaoxue." ”
"Then are you from the Yagyu family?" Chen Xuanting is also mixed in the entertainment industry, and many kung fu movies and martial arts films in Hong Kong will mention the Liu Sheng family of Yuben, which seems to be very bullish. In particular, Yanagi's slash seems to be quite famous.
The girl was a little surprised, although she didn't answer, Chen Xuanting knew that she had guessed correctly.
It turns out that in this book attaches great importance to gate valves and family glory.
In the martial arts world, there are four major families, namely Iga, Koga, Yagyu, and Miyamoto. Although these families mostly appear in novels and television, they also exist in reality. For example, Miyamoto Musashi of the Miyamoto family is said to be a sword saint admired by himself. And the Yanagi Shibei in the Yagyu family is also a generation of swordsmanship masters with the same name as He Miyamoto Musashi.
It's just that with the development of the times, cold weapons have gradually withdrawn from the stage. Like these, everyone in swordsmanship is no longer bright and dazzling, on the contrary, many people even open kendo schools to make a living in order to make a living.
A girl like Yanagi Piaoxue has inherited the family's martial arts since she was a child, so she can only come out to work as a female bodyguard. And this is also the sorrow of the warriors.
After Qiao Huiru came to Yueben, she became famous in a short period of time, especially with hundreds of millions of wealth, which will inevitably attract the attention of some bandits, and in addition, she is coveted by the underworld, so Qiao Huiru spent money to hire a girl like Liu Sheng Piaoxue to be her personal bodyguard.
"Since you are a member of the Yanagi family, will you be a slasher?" Chen Xuanting said curiously.
Yanagi Piaoxue glanced at him, but did not speak.
Chen Xuanting felt bored, so he didn't say more.
As soon as the elevator rang, the door opened, Liu Sheng Piaoxue walked out first, Chen Xuanting followed behind her, looking at her gently twisting waist, and an impulse arose, that is, how would she react if she knocked her head herself? Thinking about it, I felt funny, Chen Xuanting, like ordinary people, was a little curious about these mysterious bodyguards.
After turning a few corners in the corridor, Chen Xuanting was stunned to find that two sturdy female black men were standing on both sides of the corridor, looking at him fiercely, they were both wearing black military uniforms, tall and burly, and they looked full of explosive power.
Liu Sheng Piaoxue walked over indifferently, and the two sides did not communicate at all, but when Liu Sheng Piaoxue passed by them, both of them bowed their heads slightly, revealing a respectful look.
Walking through the narrow corridor, the front suddenly opened up, the red carpet was paved, the lights hung on the four walls, Yanagi Piaoxue walked over, pushed open the magnificent brown patterned wooden door, and made a gesture of please.
Chen Xuanting suppressed his excitement and slowly walked into the room.
The luxurious and huge living room is resplendent and splendid, and the display decoration is dignified and elegant, and there is an indescribable luxury atmosphere.
Qiao Huiru was dressed in a black dress and showed grace and luxury, standing in front of the glass curtain, looking at Chen Xuanting with a smile, her eyes suddenly turned red.
Chen Xuanting walked over slowly, pursed his lips vigorously, suppressed the tumbling emotions in his heart, and called softly: "Mom." Qiao Huiru nodded vigorously, and suddenly hugged Chen Xuanting into her arms, hugging her very tightly.
