Chapter 90: Worship the Buddha

The annual Christmas is coming, and the annual Christmas war between Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers has also begun.

Golden Harvest made the first effort and released Hong Jingbao's "Lin Shirong" on December 19, and Hong Jingbao, who returned to kung fu comedy, had good stamina, and the box office in the first week got 2.41 million, and the performance was very eye-catching. And Shaw Brothers released the Fengyue film "**Jade" directed by Li Hanxiang on the 22nd, and only got 720,000 box office in three days of full release.

In this way, Shaw Brothers' Christmas stalls this year are again defeated.

As for Wang Jin's "King of a Thousand Kings", after being swept by the tail of "Alien" in the first week of release, the box office came to a reverse growth in the second week, and it received another 2.25 million box office. In the end, the movie was released for 18 days, and the total box office in Hong Kong was 4.26 million, which was barely recovered.

Li Xuan was very satisfied with this result, but Wang Jin's face was not good-looking. His first film was seven million, and the second one was only four million, a difference of more than three million, which in his opinion was a bit of a failure.

However, Li Xuan didn't care what Wang Jin's mood was at this time, as long as he was in a good mood.

Christmas in Hong Kong, except for some political axe departments that do not have holidays, everyone else will have holidays. Li Xuan, who is doing the post-production of "The King of Killers", will not treat himself badly, anyway, this film will not be released a year ago, so he is not in a hurry, and he has given himself two days off in a row.

On Christmas Eve on the 24th, Li Xuan and Zhong Chuhong had a good rest at home for a day, and they also went to watch a movie in the evening. Of course, it is not Hong Jingbao's "Lin Shirong", but "**Jade". After watching a Fengyue movie, Zhong Chuhong's face was flushed, and Li Xuan's index finger moved.

A cool breeze blew in from the windowsill, and Li Xuan, who felt a little cold, pulled the thin quilt on his body in a daze, and then stretched out his right hand, intending to hold Zhong Chuhong next to him and sleep beautifully for a while.

How do you know that your right hand actually fluttered into the air and touched the sheet with your hand, but no one?

Li Xuan opened his eyes and half-sat up, his confused eyes swept the bedroom, the door was open, but there was no one else in the bedroom. There was a sound of water in the bathroom, and it seemed that Zhong Xiaoniu was taking a bath.

So early?

Li Xuan looked out the window, the sun had just risen, and there was still a thin layer of mist in the Lion Rock Park in the distance. I picked up the alarm clock on the bedside table, and it was just after half past seven.

"Whoa—"

With a soft sound, the bathroom door opened, and Zhong Chuhong walked out of it wrapped in a bath towel.

Beauty out of the bath!

Li Xuan's eyes straightened suddenly, and he watched Zhong Chuhong walk towards the bedroom, and hurriedly asked, "Little girl, what are you doing so early?" It's Christmas! He patted the bed next to him and continued, "Come on, sleep a little longer." ”

Zhong Chuhong, who understood what Li Xuan was thinking, rolled his eyes, opened the closet and began to look for clothes, and said by the way: "You get up quickly, Sister Pei will come to pick us up." ”

Depend on!

Li Xuan stood up naked, put on his nightgown, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's a big joke in the world, I actually went to worship Buddha at Christmas!" ”

Zhong Chuhong, who had found her clothes, turned around and said with a smile: "Who told Sister Pei to only believe in Buddhism, but people don't believe in Jesus." ”

"Hey-" Li Xuan sighed, took out his clothes from the closet, and asked suspiciously, "What do you say she wants to do when she asks the two of us to worship the Buddha?" It's okay if you have a good relationship with her, and you deliberately asked me to go with you. ”

"I don't know." Zhong Chuhong also shook his head suspiciously: "It is estimated that it has something to do with the movie, let's see what Sister Pei says when the time comes." ”

"Well, that's all there is to it." Li Xuan took his clothes and nodded in response.

But......

Zhong Chuhong wrinkled his nose, looked at Li Xuan and said, "Why don't you go to take a bath?" ”

"Aren't you going to change your clothes?" Li Xuan took a pile of clothes and said as a matter of course.

"Hooligans!"

Zhong Chuhong took a sip and pushed Li Xuan out of the bedroom.

"Bang!"

The door was slammed shut, Li Xuan touched his nose, smiled proudly, and turned around and walked towards the bathroom.

You can go to Wong Tai Sin Temple in Hong Kong to worship God, but the first choice for worshipping Buddha is Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island.

Po Lin Monastery is the most famous ten-way monastery in Hong Kong, founded in 1906 and located on the Ngong Ping Plateau on Lantau Island, between Phoenix Mountain and Maitreya Mountain. In front of the mountain gate, there are Muyu Peak and Fahua Pagoda on the left; On the right, there are Lotus Mountain and Lion Rock, which can be called the scenic spot of Lantau Island.

Li Xuan is also familiar with this place, and he has been here several times when filming "Kunlun" and "Mr. Zombie". In fact, compared to those high-ranking monks here, the empty Muyu Peak on the left was more attractive to Li Xuan. Because Baolian Temple is preparing to build a 30-meter-high Buddha statue on Muyu Peak, if it is completed, it will definitely look spectacular.

However, Li Xuan immediately discovered that the Buddha believed in Ding Pei was likely to be Guanyin Bodhisattva. After this Xiang Tai led everyone to the Baolian Temple, he only hurriedly bowed to the Daxiong Treasure Hall and the Tianwang Palace, and then ran to the Guanyin Hall and knelt down. At this time, she was closing her eyes and clasping her hands together, kneeling while muttering sutras in her mouth.

After tossing like this for five or six minutes, Ding Pei opened his eyes and bowed to the Guanyin statue three times before standing up.

As soon as everyone came out of the Guanyin Palace, Ding Pei said to Li Xuan with a smile: "Ah Xuan, you won't laugh at me, my sister is cultivating the Guanyin Bodhisattva method." ”

"No, it won't." Li Xuan waved his hand and replied casually: "I have always believed that a person with true faith is a person worthy of respect. ”

"Faith?" Ding Pei suddenly looked at the mountains in the distance lonely, and muttered, "I'm just trying to have peace of mind for a lifetime." ”

Peace?

Li Xuan was stunned, what did she ask for peace of mind? Is it for Xiang Huaqiang? Or Li Xiaolong?

However, Ding Pei was obviously not interested in talking about this, and then asked with a smile on his face: "Ha, Ah Xuan, are you interested in doing things in Yongsheng?" ”

Depend on!

Li Xuan was stunned for a while, and knew that it was not good for this woman to find herself, but she didn't need to dig the foot of the wall and dig up directly from the other party's head, right?

"This, Sister Pei......" Li Xuan gritted his teeth and prepared to refuse.

"Huh." Ding Pei chuckled again: "Tease you, how can you be someone else's subordinate and be your own boss, it makes you nervous." ”

"Huh——, Sister Pei, you're scared to death of me." Li Xuan patted his chest and said.

"What's scary?" Ding Pei glared at Li Xuan and continued: "Don't look at Brother Qiang as the eldest brother of Xin Yi'an, but he really likes the movie industry, so he won't do anything to break the rules, don't worry." ”

"Hehe......" Li Xuan smiled awkwardly.

"Forget it, you don't believe it, you'll know later." Ding Pei said helplessly: "However, there are really two things to find you this time. ”

"Sister Pei, if there is anything I can help, just say it!" Li Xuan patted ** and said.

Ding Pei nodded, and then said: "This is the first, that is, if this Yongsheng is really done, you, as a younger brother, will have to help the two elder brothers." ”

"It's no problem, if you want someone to have something, you want something to have, just say it when the time comes." Li Xuan nodded and replied.

Ding Pei glanced at Li Xuan in surprise and said, "You promised happily, don't worry, we will come according to the rules when the time comes, and the money will not be given to you less." ”

Li Xuan secretly pursed his mouth, just knowing that you would not lose other people's money, he agreed so happily.

Looking at those gossip materials in later generations, Yongsheng didn't remember much of the other gossip, but he knew that this company had a great feature, and he was very generous in spending money! Sometimes even millions of Hong Kong dollars are given away without blinking an eye. At this time, if you find someone to borrow something from yourself, Yongsheng will definitely be embarrassed to borrow it for free, and you don't have to pay for it.

"Okay!" Li Xuan nodded and asked, "Then what's the second thing?" ”

"The second thing ......" Ding Pei paused and asked rhetorically, "Ah Xuan, are you preparing to make the next movie?" ”

Is this another plan to buy shares? Li Xuan's head was black and sweaty, gritted his teeth and nodded and replied, "Hmm! is preparing, and it is estimated that filming will start after the New Year. ”

"That's right, I want to arrange someone to learn how to be a director from you, that guy admires you very much." Ding Pei didn't seem to see Li Xuan's expression, and said indifferently.

Hearing this, Li Xuan was stunned, it didn't seem that he wanted to buy shares, so he hurriedly replied: "Yes, but who are you talking about, Sister Pei?" ”

"You know."

"I know?" Li Xuan thought about it suspiciously, Yongsheng is a shell company at all, where did he come from.

"Zeng Zhiwei, don't you know?" Ding Pei said with a smile.

Li Xuan only felt a twitch in the corners of his eyes, how could Zeng Zhiwei run to Yongsheng? According to history, he will be one of the seven monsters of Xinyi City after a while......

After pondering for a while, Li Xuan asked curiously, "Isn't he in Luo Wei's film company?" ”

"They didn't sign a brokerage contract, it's just a partnership, and it's not like they want to leave." Ding Pei explained casually, and then smiled: "Those of us who are elders want him to come, can he still come?" ”

Sweat! Li Xuan secretly mourned for Zeng Zhiwei for a while, Zeng Fat was suffering from his seniority now.

"Alright, we're done talking. I'll take you two to the dining hall to try the food here, this is a must here. Ding Pei still laughed to herself. After speaking, he didn't wait for Li Xuan and the two to speak, turned around and walked down the stone steps.

Li Xuan also took Zhong Chuhong's hand and followed behind.

Today, I really worshiped the Buddha! (To be continued.) )
