Chapter Fifty-Six: Moving

After Zhang Aijia finished filming in South Korea, she went to Japan to dub the movie, she was not in Taipei, and Shen Chong didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so she didn't go to visit Wei Jingmeng, and slept until she woke up naturally the next day, and after lunch, she got on the plane and quietly returned to Hong Kong.

Sure enough, as Luo Weiming predicted, Shaw Brothers did not renew the screening contract, but chose to release its own "The Great Destiny Fisherman".

So May 18 is the last day of the release of "Crazy Robbery".

Shen Chong was at Kai Tak Airport and made a phone call to Jiang Zhiqiang and asked about the box office.

The current cumulative box office of "Crazy Robbery" is 9.37 million, and according to the box office statistics trend chart, it will probably be able to collect 3o yuan on the last day, so that after the Shaw Brothers theater is released, the final box office is about 97o million, which is one step away from 10 million.

Two weeks after the Jiang family's theater was screened, it should not be a problem to break through 10 million.

As early as a few days ago, when the box office broke the record of "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", someone declared in the media that the Hong Kong film industry is about to transition from the two tigers of Shaw Brothers Golden Harvest to a new era of Shaw Brothers Golden Harvest Oriental Charm Three Kingdoms.

Shen Chongfu laughed at this kind of remarks, now he is still very weak, one has no set, and the other has no theater, in the Hong Kong film industry, he is just a small follower around the big players.

The box office of "Crazy Robbery" is more than 9oo, and after sharing the account with Shaw Brothers, Shen Chong only got about 3oo yuan, excluding the production and marketing costs, the profit is only more than 200,000 yuan, which is a drizzle for him.

In the frenzy of "Crazy Robbery", the most profitable ones are Xu Anhua and Chen Yunwen.

Xu Anhua is just starting out, and in just two weeks, she has become the hottest director in Hong Kong, and the limelight is close to Xu Guanwen, if Shen Chong hadn't signed a new drama contract in advance and sent her to Japan, it is estimated that the film company that will find her will be able to drown her with a check.

Shen Chong deliberately highlighted the status of the screenwriter when promoting the movie, so that Chen Yunwen also rose with the tide, she was originally the ace screenwriter of TVB, and wrote classic dramas such as "Crazy Tide" and "Home Change", and now she has reached a higher level, and has the momentum of becoming the top female screenwriter in Hong Kong after Zhang Ailing.

Chen Yunwen, like Xu Anhua, was signed by Shen Chong in advance before the release of "Crazy Robbery", and then let her run around Southeast Asia, collecting and sorting out the life information of Nanhai Shisanlang, and she was very busy.

And the leading actors in the movie were already in the rising period of their careers, and "Crazy Robbery" was just the icing on the cake, so Zhao Yazhi was originally scheduled by Chu to star in "Heroes Without Tears", Wan Ziliang went to "The Heroes of the Great Interior", and Xu Shaoqiang received "Silkworm Transformation", all of which came naturally.

After asking about the box office, Shen Chong called his secretary Xiaoyu again, and after confirming that the company had no important affairs, he decided to take a break and go back to the old house in Kwun Tong for dinner.

After Shen Chong lent 5o yuan to the Great Wall Film Company, Li Tang became a celebrity in the eyes of the company's leaders, and the more busy he was, he hadn't gone home for several days, and tonight was no exception.

"Aunt Liu." Shen Chong took a spoonful of soup, took a sip, and said: "Using lotus root eyebrow pea bone broth to make the soup base, shabu vegetables and meatballs, it's really creative, this is an improved Sichuan spicy tang, right?" ”

"yes." Aunt Liu tied an apron, stood aside, and said: "Hong Kong people can't eat spicy, I tried several soup bases, and I think this is the best." How does it taste? ”

"That's good." Shen Chong sandwiched the blanched small green vegetables, and after taking a bite, he said: "The soup is clear in color, delicious and delicious." ”

"This Ah Chong said that it was delicious, and I was relieved." Aunt Liu said with a smile: "Put this in the store, it will definitely sell well." ”

"Mom, what kind of dishes you make, my brother-in-law says it's delicious." Tianbao interjected on the side: "He's slapping your ass, you can't take it seriously." ”

As soon as Shen Chong raised his hand, he was about to fight, Tianbao jumped away like a rabbit, and then pinched his ears and stuck out his tongue, grimacing at him.

After Shen Chong and Li Kaiyuan confirmed their relationship, Tianbao screamed at his brother-in-law and brother-in-law, and no longer shouted "Brother Chong", but the relationship became more intimate.

"Mom, Ah Chong and my dad are going to the mainland next week." Li Kaiyuan ate a piece of lotus root, then put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "When will you and Tianbao move to live with me?" ”

"Gee, it's a hassle to move." Aunt Liu hesitated, rubbed her apron and said, "I still have a shop to take care of, and it is inconvenient to return to Kowloon from Hong Kong Island every day." ”

"How inconvenient!" Li Kaiyuan glared, and his voice became louder, "I drive you every morning, it's more convenient than you taking a minibus, right?" I think you're just lazy and don't want to move. ”

"You girl, how do you talk?" Aunt Liu did not show weakness, and said loudly-for-tat: "Look for yourself, this house is full of things, now move over, in a few months, the house over there of He Wentian will be delivered, and you have to move back and forth, the toss of coming and going, you say that it is not troublesome!" ”

"Bring the useful ones with you, and don't want the useless ones." Li Kaiyuan said indifferently: "There is nothing missing over there, these pots and pans and other things are all given to the neighbors." ”

"It's all bought back with hard work, and if you say give it away, you will give it away." Aunt Liu glared at her and said, "How many times have I said it, it's not easy to make money, you have to save some flowers, don't be extravagant, that's not the way to live at home." ”

Aunt Liu and Li Kaiyuan, the mother and daughter, are probably the reincarnation of enemies, and they are born incompatible, obviously mothers love their daughters and filial piety, all for the good of each other, but every time they can't say a few words, the smell of gunpowder is splashed.

"Don't make a noise, don't make a noise." Shen Chong saw that Li Kaiyuan was leaning up his neck, and he was about to top the cow, so he hurriedly put down his chopsticks, raised his hand to mediate, and said: "Aunt Liu, Uncle Li and I are going to stay in the mainland for a month or two, Sister Yuanyuan has been busy recently, she goes out early and returns late every day, you see that everyone has lost weight, how lonely it is to live there alone, you and Tianbao have been with her for a while." ”

"Sister Yuan Yuan, this room full of things is all earned by Aunt Liu and Uncle Li, and they have been used to support you and Tianbao for so many years, if you have feelings, how can you say don't want it." Shen Chong played a round at both ends, and finally said: "I think it's good, take the daily necessities over, large and unimportant things, pack them here, and it will be convenient to move to a new house when the time comes." ”

"It's still Ah Chong who is sensible." Aunt Liu turned her anger into joy and said, "Then let's do it, I'll move over with Tianbao in a few days." ”

Li Kaiyuan snorted, although he was not angry, he didn't speak anymore, and Tianbao secretly gave Shen Chong a thumbs up while feasting.

"Aunt Liu, I think I'll move over tomorrow." Shen Chong struck while the iron was hot and persuaded: "Tomorrow is Saturday, Uncle Li and I are not going to work, we are fully staffed, and we are just moving." ”

"Tomorrow...... Too much of a hurry, right? Aunt Liu hesitated, she looked around the house and said, "There are too many things, and I haven't cleaned them up yet." ”

"This room is full of things, which ones need to be taken away and which ones need to be kept, Aunt Liu hasn't already figured it out." Shen Chong said with a smile: "Just clean it up tomorrow morning and move it in the afternoon." ”

"Yes." Li Kaiyuan replied angrily: "Find a moving company, finish moving in one trip, and save yourself from running again." ”

"The moving company is not good, those people are very careless, they are bumpy in moving things, what should I do if I break these things......"

Shen Chong made a gesture and signaled Li Kaiyuan not to speak, and waited for Aunt Liu to finish nagging before saying: "Aunt Liu, the last time I moved the office, I knew a moving company, very professional, everything was registered and shipped after the book, and it was sent to be checked again, if there is damage, double compensation on the spot, tomorrow the valuable things, we will move them ourselves, those sundries, let this company move them." ”

"Really?"

"It's true." While eating Malatang, Shen Chong gave an example: "I remember that there was a missing pen at that time, and they immediately lost it. ”

"If that's the case, that's not bad." Aunt Liu sat down on the table, picked up the chopsticks and said, "Let's eat first, I'll start cleaning up after eating." ”

Aunt Liu's improved spicy tang tastes really good, Shen Chong is very happy to eat, after eating, he is covered with sweat, but there is a hearty pleasure.

"Aunt Liu, do you have a name for this thing?"

"What's the name for this?" Aunt Liu said while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks: "It's called Malatang." ”

"This thing isn't spicy." Shen Chong said: "It's called Malatang, it's easy for people to misunderstand and dare not eat it, so it's better to have a new name." ”

"You've got the most ideas, so let's give it a name." Li Kaiyuan picked up the soup pot and said, "Look at you, sweating profusely, go wash your face and wipe it." ”

"Tianbao, such an important task as choosing a name will be handed over to you." Shen Chong grabbed Tianbao's ponytail casually, and then walked towards the bathroom, saying as he walked: "If I come out after washing my face, you will think of a name, and I will give you a big reward." ”

After Shen Chong wiped his face, he looked in the mirror, feeling a little lost inexplicably - only more than 5 months have passed, and he can't remember what he looked like before.

Patting his cheek, Shen Chong shook off his senseless thoughts and walked out.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I thought about it." As soon as Tianbao saw Shen Chong coming out, he said loudly: "This dish is called frightening, do you say it's good?" ”

"That's the name of the tea, right?"

"Bah." Tianbao stared at his round eyes, and his expression of surprise was extremely cute, "Brother-in-law, you know it too!" ”

"Your brother-in-law and I are wise and martial, I know astronomy and geography, I know five hundred years before, and five hundred years later." Shen Chong casually bragged and said: "A fairy-like character, how can you not know the name of a little tea." ”

"Bragging again." Tianbao scratched a few times on the white and tender face with his little green hand, made embarrassing movements, and said disdainfully: "Brother-in-law, you only know after watching "Dragon Babu", right?" ”

Tianbao's delicate and lovely movements, pleasing to the eye, Shen Chong sat idly on the sand, smiled and said: "The scaring incense is the Chinese dialect of Wuzhong, which means the scary incense, produced in Dongting Mountain, Taihu Lake, Jiangsu, because the brown color is green, the shape is like a snail, and it is worth picking in early spring, so it was renamed Biluochun by the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and it is one of the top ten famous teas in China. These "Dragon Babu" are not written, right? ”

"Che, you're older than me, you've read more than me, and you know what's so great about this." Tianbao was disdainful, she shook Shen Chong's arm and said, "You just say this name, okay?" ”

"Okay." Shen Chong was faintly perfunctory on the surface, but in his heart he felt that the name was really good, the soup base that Aunt Liu made, I don't know what ingredients were added, the aroma was tangy, and smelling it could make people have a great appetite, which was in line with the literal meaning of "scaring people".

"Then, brother-in-law." Tianbao stretched out his little hand in front of Shen Chong with a look of anticipation, "What's the reward?" ”

"What do you want?"

"Whatever my brother-in-law gives me, I want."

"Little slippery." Shen Chong laughed, touched her head, and said, "How about I let you be on TV?" ”
