Chapter 191: An agreement with Gong Li

Shen Zhenghui is very cautious and knows what may happen next, but the female stars who came up to toast are all smiling like flowers, pure and lovely. Of course, some people can't bear the requirements of their bosses, so they come to walk around, thinking that they can put this girl over a few times, and show up and leave. Of course, there are also people who plan to count on being able to climb the high branches and become a female star in Asia.

Of course, the rumors in the circle that Shen Zhenghui is not a good man, in the Hong Kong and Japanese entertainment circles, this guy is rumored to like to support actresses, not to mention that he is still unclear with the proprietress of Kasuga, and anyone who knows a little bit about the industry insider is spread like this. has come and gone, Shen Zhenghui is naturally not a guy who is out of the mud in the eyes of the bigwigs, plus this guy made his fortune in Japan, the mention of the name Japan gives people the impression that he must be a person with very Japanese characteristics.

So although these bosses are polite on the surface, if their subordinates are likely to have something to do with Shen Zhenghui, they should be one of the happiest people. Of course, in front of everyone, it is not easy for everyone to express themselves too obviously, especially when there are big names like Gong Li, many female stars come forward to toast the wine of their predecessors.

Shen Zhenghui felt that he was careless, the two rounds of bigwigs didn't pour their own wine, and they didn't expect that in the end, a group of cannon fodder came up, and there were too many of these cannon fodder, and there was a posture of ants biting elephants to death, all of them relied on the advantage that they were women, and they wanted to drink with themselves for various reasons such as worship and respect, and even a female star surnamed Yuan came up to say. "Director Shen, hello, I have worked with Mr. Shen in the same crew, and I am like a thunderbolt to you, I'll have a toast first, you are free."

"That Mr. Shen?" Shen Zhenghui felt that he had a headache, and Aunt Gong Li next to him looked at her desperate juniors with a smile.

"It's your father, we've been on a crew." Actress Yuan heartily drank before explaining, "Teacher Zhang, Teacher Wang and your father are also very familiar, but they didn't come tonight. ”

These two won't pour me wine when they come. Shen Zhenghui said in his heart. Carrying the cup, he said. "No, I know my father, I don't know my mother, I resolutely don't drink it."

"I also know Mr. Liang." Ms. Yuan said hurriedly. "Mr. Liang also stayed in the crew for a while. I also cooked for us to eat. ”

Mom, you're pretty hard, give you a thumbs up. Shen Zhenghu laughed twice. After drinking all the wine in the glass, his feet shook a little, he turned around and leaned into Gong Li's ear and said, "I can't do it tonight, or let's go first." ”

"Oh." Gong Li was a little embarrassed, "I'll help you call your bodyguard in." ”

Shen Zhenghui leaned back on the sofa, "Excuse me, where are you going?" I told them to send you. ”

"You don't have to worry about me, I'll have a way to go by myself in a while." Gong Li replied in a low voice.

Seeing the two of them biting their ears, the female star on one side couldn't help but feel sour in their hearts, although many people felt that their appearance was comparable to Aunt Gong, but they couldn't stand the aura of others, and it had a bonus effect. So a few more people came up and pulled the relationship with seven, seven, eight, and eight, saying that they wanted to drink with Shen Zhenghui.

Shen Zhenghui began to look stupid as if he had drunk too much, shrinking on the sofa, no matter who came up, he looked dizzy and incomprehensible. After Gong Li walked to the corridor and called in the black suits who were standing outside as sentry, Shen Zhenghui's heart was relieved.

Two black suits came over and set up Shen Zhenghui left and right, and in the shocked eyes of a room of female stars, the black suit who took the lead said in Chinese with a strange emphasis, "I'm sorry, everyone, we have to send Mr. Shen back to a safe place." ”

A group of people acted very quickly and professionally, looking like bodyguards protecting national dignitaries, Shen Zhenghui was helped downstairs and stuffed into the car, two bodyguards sat in one left and one right, and looked around to protect the bodyguards to maintain the ban, one by one to get into the car, in the eyes of these female stars, it was like a blockbuster.

Gong Li was a little helpless to find that she was completely ignored, but she didn't care anymore, she called, and after a while, an assistant drove over to pick her up, and then the female stars also dispersed one by one, and those with special tasks also began to report to the boss about tonight's situation. Anyway, Shen Zhenghui's table tonight shows that he has a good temper and is not very good at rejecting people, which is good news for both the boss and the female star; Besides, he doesn't seem to be drinking well, which is also good news; Finally, the appearance of his bodyguard shows that he is very strict, which does not know if it is good news, looking at the posture, his bodyguard does not seem to be Chinese, maybe it was sent by his Japanese mistress. It's a head-scratching one.

While many people were scratching their heads, Shen Zhenghui sat in his car and swept away the drunken cowardice just now, "These people are crazy to drink," he twisted his neck, "Next time it's better for me to bring champagne to this kind of event, what kind of messy things to drink, the taste is too bad, and I drink so hard." He rested his head on the back and pressed his head.

"Mr. Shen, you are too willful." Ando, the head of the bodyguards, said, "According to President Fukuda's orders, we should keep you safe and secure." ”

"Don't be so nervous, Ando." Shen Zhenghui waved his hand, "After all, this is China, it's very safe, and if those people see the nervousness of me bringing so many of your bodyguards tonight, they will probably think I'm a coward." ”

"I think that's understandable for someone who has been shot." Ando replied, "And I used to think that Japan was safe. ”

"Ha, there is no absolutely safe place, only a relatively safe place, China and Japan are safe enough compared to Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc., you Japan have also smoked poison gas in the subway, haven't you?"

Ando's face darkened suddenly.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little out of my mind." Shen Zhenghui patted his head, "Although these wines haven't made me drunk yet, they seem to make me think that things are a little unbright." Let's go back to the hotel early to rest, tomorrow we will go to Yuhang, and we will be able to go back when we meet Wang Anran. If you go back to Japan, you should be happy, right? ”

"I think China is very good," Ando said, wittily not mentioning the previous topic, "the people are very good, and the things are cheap." And there is no excise tax. ”

Shen Zhenghui blinked, and was finally amused by Ando's cold joke, "It's actually inclusive of consumption tax," he said. "It's just that it's never marked."

"Even so. It is also much cheaper than in Japan. Ando replied earnestly.

Shen Zhenghui returned to his hotel, he lived in a suite, and at night there were two bodyguards who lived in one outside, and he himself lived in one inside. Maybe it's because of the effects of alcohol. Maybe it's because I see too many beautiful women at night and I'm in a happier mood. Shen Zhenghui easily fell asleep. Until you wake up in the morning.

Ando came and knocked on the door, "Miss Gong Li came to visit you," he said. "I heard you haven't gotten up yet, so she's going to have breakfast first."

"Oh?" Shen Zhenghui was a little surprised by Gong Li's visit, because he couldn't think of a reason for the time being, he quickly tidied up, and went to the restaurant after washing.

Miss Gong Li was eating slowly in front of a glass of milk.

"Yo," Shen Zhenghui said hello, "Thank you so much last night, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to get out." Shen Zhenghui sat down across from her.

"I just called your bodyguard, it's not a big deal." Gong Li replied.

Shen Zhenghui read what she wanted to express from the other party's eyes, "Something? ”

Gong Li lowered her head and smiled, "Is it so easy to be seen?" ”

"The heart of the charming lady is so easy to see." Ando took the food and put it in front of Shen Zhenghui, Shen Zhenghui thanked him, and then Ando and his colleagues sat down on the edge of the table around Shen Zhenghui's table, still looking vigilant.

"Then why do you bother me?"

"Career?" Shen Zhenghui asked.

"Why a career?" The other party smiled.

"Because if it's love, your expression should be more charming." Shen Zhenghui stretched out his hands, and the contact with real people was completely different from the performance of the people on the screen, "Is there anything I can help with?" ”

"It's just my personal confusion." Gong Li replied, "I am very confused about my future. ”

"This shouldn't be, you should be at the top of your game, Berlin invited you last year, and this year it should be Venice if it's not Cannes."

"So I can't be confused?"

"Of course you can," Shen Zhenghui replied, "It's not just you, your old partner Director Zhang, I think he is also very confused." ”

Gong Li smiled reluctantly, "I'm different from him." ”

"You two should have achieved the apex of Chinese filmmakers."

"After the apex, it falls."

"Not necessarily, maybe it's going to keep going up."

"If even I am wondering, then it is doubtful whether the road I took was the way to rise!"

Shen Zhenghui stuffed an egg into his mouth.

"Director Shen, have you seen my movie?"

"I've watched all the films I cooperated with Zhou Xingxing, including "Tianlong Babu: Tianshan Tong Ma", I especially like that one, it is very powerful. The pinnacle of two Chinese actresses will be difficult to surpass in the future. ”

"That's what you're seeing?" Gong Li tilted her head, and her expression seemed to be a little playful.

"Other films, well, I've also watched "Alive", but I think Uncle Ge's performance is overwhelming." He smiled.

"Uncle Ge is indeed there." Gong Li nodded. Uncle Ge won the Cannes Best Actor Award for "Alive", and is the first Chinese to win this award. So even if Shen Zhenghui said that he was not as brilliant as Uncle Ge in performance, Gong Li didn't care about it.

"It seems that you don't like to watch literary films." Gong Li said.

"Yes," Shen Zhenghui nodded, """Alive" was still shown to us by our university's teacher Mao Xuan during class, otherwise I really wouldn't have watched it." ”

"Can I watch "Alive" in school?" Gong Li was a little surprised.

"Well, I think I saw it in school, I can't even remember." Shen Zhenghui knew that his memory was confused, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "So your confusion is that you don't know what path you should take?" Literary and artistic, or commercial. ”

Gong Li smiled, "Of course, ambitious people like to choose two paths together." ”

"It's not for nothing that there are fools who can't go either way." Shen Zhenghui took a sip of milk, "Of course, it's not impossible to go hand in hand. ”

"There aren't many actors who can do that alone." Gong Li said meaningfully, "More often than not, the director plays a role. ”

"Yes, you have an example in front of you." Shen Zhenghui said.

"You don't win many awards for your films, do you?" Gong Li was a little surprised by Shen Zhenghui's cheekiness.

"I'm not talking about me, it's Zhou Xingxing." Shen Zhenghui pursed his lips, "He has not been treated by the award committee for a long time, but now that Hong Kong movies are not good, he can resist the flag." You look at the best new director in the last session, and the next time you may really be able to win the Academy Awards, and the Golden Horse Awards are not far away. And can you say his movies are terrible? I think "Journey to the West" is enough to establish his status. ”

"That's why you value him?" Gong Li asked.

"Fundamentally, I value him because he can make money." Shen Zhenghui replied, "Good news, his "Green Hornet" Christmas file should be released, just look at the box office table when the time comes." ”

Gong Li held her chin with her hand, looking full of manners, "Do you think I ......"

"Absolutely." Shen Zhenghui said directly.

"I haven't said it yet!"

"You want to ask yourself if you can achieve a commercial transformation, but I still have to remind you that an actor who has reached the peak should indeed transform into a director, and only on this road can he really consider whether it is business or art."

Shen Zhenghui didn't start Aunt Gong Li's idea on a whim, but a long-standing idea suddenly occupied his heart at this time, making him feel that Aunt Gong Li was a good candidate.

"Are you interested in commercial films?" Shen Zhenghui asked.

"Of course." Gong Li replied very bluntly at this time.

"If you really have the heart, why don't we agree that within three years, how about I ask you to make a movie?" Shen Zhenghui said with interest, "The conditions must be the best. ”

"Can it be released in North America?" Gong Li asked.

"Of course." Shen Zhenghui replied.

"Good!" Gong Li stretched out her palm and high-fived Shen Zhenghui at the dining table to indicate that an agreement had been reached, "Then I will wait for your summons, Director Shen." May I ask, is it still a partner with Zhou Xingxing? ”

"He's in charge now," Shen Zhenghui pursed his lips and smiled, "My idea is quite special!" (To be continued......)
