Chapter Ninety-Eight: Reaction

The place where Shen Chong invited guests was the newly opened flagship store of "Scaring People" in Kowloon, the decoration was low-key and luxurious, the ingredients were rich and valuable, mainly private rooms, the positioning was relatively high-end, and it was close to Kai Tak Airport

On the way, Shen Chong saw that Zhang Aijia was a little distracted, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Nothing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhang Aijia smiled reluctantly and said, "It's just a little tired." ”

"Don't think about it, I'll take you to eat hot pot, I don't mean anything else." Shen Chong slowed down the car, drove into the undersea tunnel, and said: "I just want you to know how you lived in Hong Kong before, and how you still live now, just like in Taipei, free and easy, and don't have a psychological burden." ”

"That's so simple." Zhang Aijia glanced at him, and said angrily: "I'm not as cheeky as you."

"The face is all practiced." Shen Chong smiled and said, "You and her are comfortable living the days you like, and I will take care of the rest." ”

"What a big breath, do you think you're Superman?"

"In this world, God is the greatest, and after God, I am the most powerful." After Shen Chong copied the famous words of the football madman in his previous life, he said with a smile: "If you still can't think about it, why don't I find a few more women, and if you don't blame the public, you won't feel awkward at that time." ”

"Think beautifully" Zhang Aijia raised her hand, stared at her big black eyes, and said viciously: "You can try again"

Shen Chong shrunk his neck and said, "Aren't I thinking about you?" You see that you have been hiding in your room for the past few days, as if you have walked into a minefield. ”

"I'm memorizing lines, you think it's easy to be a host? Besides, I've been all over Hong Kong, and there's nothing fun to do. Zhang Aijia argued forcefully and warned: "Anyway, you are not allowed to find other women"

"Okay, don't look for it." Shen Chong surrendered and said, "Why be so fierce, I have always been very determined." ”

"I don't think you've found a target yet." Zhang Aijia glanced at him and said, "Actually, the purpose of your Academy Awards is to gather all the beauties of China together, and then catch them all, right?" ”

Shen Chong held the steering wheel with one hand and gave her a thumbs up with the other.

After such a gag, Zhang Aijia's mood that has been relatively low since last night finally improved, and after a while, she said with a smile: "It's better like this, every time you help me win an Academy Award, I will allow you to find another woman." ”

"Trophies and women can't be forced, they have to rely on chance, if you say take it, it's not interesting." Shen Chong laughed and said, "Don't you have more than a dozen scripts in your hands?" Pick a first performance and try it, and hit the chance. ”

"Didn't you let me act in the morning?"

"I'm against you acting in vulgar plays, not against you acting." After Shen Chong defended, he looked at her and said, "Otherwise, you will go and shoot "Love Before Dawn and Dawn". ”

"I haven't studied it yet." Zhang Aijia hugged her arms and said a little weakly: "I haven't been a director before, and I haven't gone to school like Sister AUU, and the thought of going to Los Angeles to shoot on location alone is a bit bottomless, and Lin Qingxia hasn't agreed to act in this drama yet." ”

"What is there to look into." Shen Chong cheered her up and said, "I can help you find a good producer and get the entire crew together in Los Angeles, you just need to find a male lead actor and bring a familiar photographer over." Lin Qingxia has been reading this script for a few months, why hasn't she decided to act or not? ”

"She has been hesitating, I think it may be that many lines in the script can be attached to her love life, and she is afraid that she will be talked about after acting."

"If she doesn't act, you can act by yourself, and then hang the name of a screenwriter, write, direct and act by yourself, how majestic she is, the first talented woman in Hong Kong and Taiwan."

"Who dares to talk about talent in front of you, the number one talent in Asia." Zhang Aijia choked him with a smile and asked, "Didn't you write this script to her?" ”

"Damn, it's stuck in traffic again." Shen Chong slapped the steering wheel in annoyance, stopped the car, and said: "The script was written after I chatted with her, so I showed it to her at the time, and now it has been changed beyond recognition by you, she doesn't act, if you think it's too tiring to hold two positions, just find someone else to play it, anyway, you know so many people." ”

"I didn't change my face beyond recognition, I just changed my lines a little bit." After Zhang Aijia defended herself a few words, she asked: "You said that this kind of movie where two people chat, from beginning to end, will anyone watch it?"

"Didn't I say last time, if no one is watching, then the two of us will go and see it." Shen Chong said while moving forward with the traffic: "You are a director for the first time, why bother with the box office, it is good to be able to shoot it." ”

Zhang Aijia sneered and said, "Is this how you comfort yourself? It's been half a year since you made your first movie, and you're still lying in the warehouse. ”

"My "Buried Alive" was really buried alive, and I was going to make it out before this year's Hong Kong International Film Festival, but I still didn't have the time to do it." Shen Chong laughed awkwardly twice and said: ""Buried Alive" is a one-man show, "Love Before Dawn" is a two-person show, and the handsome guys and beautiful women chatting around in the tourist resort are better than being alone in the coffin talking to themselves. ”

"Why don't you wait for me to make "Love Before Dawn" out, and then we will release it together?"

"Yes." Shen Chong doesn't care, anyway, he has extinguished his dream of being a director, and he has no heart for gain or loss at all, and said: "I will give up my life to accompany the beauty and be a foil cannon fodder for you." ”

Hong Kong Cross Harbour Tunnel because the design did not predict the future development trend of private cars in advance, only two-way two-lane traffic, opened a few years before entering the saturated state, to 19ru years, is already the busiest in Hong Kong, the highest use of the road, from time to time traffic jams, Shen Chong was delayed in the middle of more than 30 minutes, only to climb out at a turtle speed, and when the Wan Chai Oriental Charm Office Building, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

"You built your office like a garden." After getting out of the elevator, she walked around the seventh floor for half a circle, overlooking the small garden below, and said: "Looking at the sea from the window, watching the flowers by the railing, no wonder some people say that this is the most luxurious and comfortable office in Hong Kong." ”

"The office next door to me is still empty, if you like it, you can use it."

"Forget it, I'm not a manager now, and I have to run around for filming, and what do I have to do in the office."

Shen Chong's office is divided into two rooms, inside is his office, and outside is the office of his personal secretary Qiu Siyu - after the "Shengshi Oriental Weekly" became an instant hit, Shen Chong quickly split the "Asian Weekly" and turned it into the English sister magazine of the "Shengshi Oriental Weekly".

"Mr. Shen, Sister Zhang."

"Xiaoyu, long time no see."

Shen Chong asked, "Is there an important call?" ”

"There were dozens of calls today, some to congratulate last night's awards ceremony on the perfect curtain call, and some to apply for interviews." Qiu Siyu reported: "This is the list of callers. ”

Shen Chong casually browsed and saw that they were all businessmen who had business dealings in Hong Kong, so he put them down and asked, "Is there a phone number in Taipei?" ”

"Not yet."

Shen Chong sighed and frowned slightly, Hong Kong flies to Taipei, it only takes about an hour and a half, and the Taiwan delegation leaves early in the morning.

Although the economy of the mainland has not yet taken off, there are many people in the mainland, full of confidence, and the leaders are also extraordinary, he has been active in Beijing in advance during the Spring Festival, and the communication with Wang Yang at the time of the award is also very smooth, so Shen Chong is not worried that the mainland will have a negative reaction to the Academy Awards.

And Taiwan lost the big backer of the United States last year, and it is not good to be weak-hearted, not only wanting to ease relations with the mainland, but also worried that the mainland will engage in united front, and is suspicious all day long, and is full of mentality, Shen Chong really can't predict the reaction of the authorities to the Academy Awards, and he also brought a special gift to Chiang Ching-kuo through Wang Xiaodi, so he has been waiting for Wei Jingmeng's call all day.

"Mr. Shen." Xiaoyu picked up a stack of newspapers and said, "These are the evening newspapers published this afternoon, and I bought a copy of what is already on the market." ”

"Thank you."

Newspapers are divided into morning and evening, the morning newspaper is generally closed at 4 p.m. on the first day, and after typesetting, it is printed at about 2 a.m. and distributed to various newsstands at about 5 o'clock, while the evening newspaper is generally closed at 12 p.m. and comes out at about 2 p.m.

Last night's awards ceremony ended in the middle of the night, and the morning newspaper could only list some star photos and awards on the reserved page, and the review articles were almost all written while watching the live broadcast.

Zhang Aijia followed behind Shen Chong, walked into the office, and asked, "Do you want me to make a phone call and ask?" ”

"No, you don't." Shen Chong put down the newspaper, waved his hand, and said, "No news, it's good news, don't worry." ”

"Death to save face" Zhang Aijia laughed at him and said: "When I was at the airport, I was obviously in a hurry, but now I pretend to be calm." ”

Coincidentally, as soon as Shen Chong wanted to refute, the phone rang, and Qiu Siyu's voice came out: "Mr. Shen, Mr. Wei in Taipei is calling." ”

Shen Chong snapped his fingers proudly, picked up the microphone in Zhang Aijia's white eyes, and said, "Hey, grandpa."

"Xiao Shen, I just came back from the Presidential Palace, are you free? Find a time to visit Taipei. ”

"I'll book my ticket now, and I'll go over in the evening?"

"Don't worry, you can come tomorrow." Wei Jingmeng's voice was steady, he couldn't hear whether it was good or bad, he paused for a moment, and said again: "By the way, Jiajia is not there?" You ask her to answer the phone. ”

Zhang Aijia took the microphone, hmmmmmm ”

Shen Chong was overjoyed when he heard this, hugged her and picked her up, circled in the air, and laughed.

"What are you?"

"It's a big deal" Shen Chong kissed her and said excitedly: "I, a blind man, can at least ride a blind horse and walk for three or five years without worrying about falling into the water." ”
