Chapter 132: Bad News Lately
After watching the movie, Shen Zhenghui should be invited by his wife to go to Lan Kwai Fong with Andy Lau and Zhu Xinghe.
This kind of bar has never been Shen Zhenghui's favorite type, it is too noisy and noisy, and he is not a person who pursues 419, so he has rarely set foot in it even in Japan.
The place where Mrs. Xiang asked him was a clean bar, not so much a bar as a teahouse-like place to spend quiet time. The whole bar was as quiet as if it wasn't a bar, and that a bar should have a resident singer and band, but this place doesn't have any.
After Shen Zhenghui came in, he immediately had a good impression of this place because of his quietness, and at the same time he was surprised that Mrs. Xiang would choose a place, thinking to himself, isn't this woman actually understanding that I like to be quiet?
Andy Liu Liu Tianwang, who followed in, introduced, "This place is good, very quiet, I often come here, it is to Mrs. Xiang's property." ”
day, no wonder. "Mrs. Xiang is really tasteful."
Shen Zhenghui nodded, and Zhu Xinghe also followed Andy Liu to continue to walk inside, since it is Mrs. Xiang's property, it is best not to come. However, the current entertainment does not seem to be able to be postponed.
Andy Liu continued, "This bar is mainly for wives and friends to talk about things, so it is very quiet, if you like a lively place, I will introduce a few good places to you!" ”
"No, I don't think I'll be able to go to a bar for a long time in the future." Shen Zhenghui politely refused.
Liu Tianwang didn't know whether it was true or not, smiled and took Shen Zhenghui upstairs. At the door of the staircase is a sign that reads, "Private parties, no invitations". One of the hostesses also greeted the Heavenly King, but did not react at all to their move up the stairs, and it seemed that he had been ordered in advance.
Mrs. Xiang stood at the top of the stairs and welcomed Shen Zhenghui with a smile. Shen Zhenghui naturally responded to Mrs. Xiang with a smile, thinking in his heart that he didn't know what it was like to talk to Mrs. Xiang and Stephen Zhou in the past. I felt a little funny for a while, so I really laughed.
Zhang Zhizhi naturally followed Mrs. Xiang's side, and her smile was very charming.
After greeting each other for a while, the two sides sat down and asked Mrs. Zhang Zhizhi to pour wine for Shen Zhenghui, and Zhang Zhizhi sat down next to Shen Zhenghui with a bottle and poured red wine for him. Shen Zhenghui didn't have a good face at the beginning, so he thanked Zhang Zhizhi with a smile and picked up the red wine glass. Anyway, the red wine is tasted slowly. It's not that the leader is being forced to pour down a cup. Shen Zhenghui shook his wine glass. chatted with Mrs. Xiang for a few words, just to ask what new films there are recently. Mrs. Xiang has always liked the producer of famous movies, and asking her about this topic is not out of her ability.
So Shen Zhenghui reaped a basket of nagging.
Mrs. Xiang first complained that Hong Kong's economy was not good, and everyone was not interested in watching movies. The box office on the charts is declining. The previous good films were able to break through 450 million. Now one or two million can be listed on the top ten box office lists of the year. He also said that it is not easy to make movies, there used to be a foreign market, and now he relies on Hong Kong, a small place, to make money. No one watches movies with little investment, and no one can recover the cost of investing in big movies. The actor's value is inflated, and he can't come down, anyway, he is spitting out bitterness.
Shen Zhenghui naturally echoed the voice, and the status quo of these Hong Kong films she said will become more and more strict in the future, so famous actors all value the dà6 market, and they have gone north to pan for gold, and the unfamous continue to stay in Hong Kong, and their prices are low, which naturally reduces the cost of the film, so they continue to survive, constituting a new ecology, and the most important feature of this new ecology is that Hong Kong is becoming less and less important.
Shen Zhenghui really has no interest in giving them lessons again and again, anyway, after you complain, you will say your own requirements. He drank his wine leisurely, casually echoing his wife's complaints, but he just didn't speak.
After a while, Mrs. Xiang probably felt that it would be a waste tonight if this continued, so she changed the topic, "I heard that the recently released "World Air Battle Story" was invested and filmed by Mr. Shen?" ”
"Well, this film was shot by Kasuga Investment, of course, I only have a small part of Kasuga's shares, you say that, I will put gold on my face."
"Mr. Shen, you are too modest," Mrs. Xiang said with a smile, giving Zhang Zhizhi a look in the middle, "Your gaze is famous." ”
"I can't brag about this." Shen Zhenghui smiled, "The projects I do are more attentive, of course, the projects invested by our company are also losses and profits, and in general, it is okay, otherwise I would have been anxious." Shen Zhenghui looked at Zhuxing Kazuya, "Of course, this is also thanks to the work of such an excellent talent as Zhuxing Manager, otherwise I wouldn't be able to achieve anything by myself." ”
Zhu Xinghe also raised his glass to express his gratitude to Shen Zhenghui for his compliment.
Liu Tianwang chimed in, "We just went to see this film tonight, and it feels very good," he said, "The picture is so good, the music is great, and I believe the sequel is just as good." ”
"Oh? Is there a sequel? Mrs. Xiang asked in surprise, "When will you come out?" My husband and I have seen this film, it is really shocking, Zhizhi has also seen it, and she said that she is quite a female pilot. ”
There are no female pilots in the Japanese and American versions, but the Chinese version does, but it has not been released. Shen Zhenghui didn't say anything, and raised his glass again, "Then I really want to thank you good fans on behalf of the company!" ”
Zhang Zhizhi diligently poured another glass of wine.
Everyone toasted together.
Mrs. Xiang intends to hold Zhang Zhizhi. When she debuted in Stephen Zhou's "The King of Comedy", Zhang Zhizhi's appearance made her a celebrity in the entertainment industry as soon as she debuted, and it was because of her that Star Girl gradually became a brand, and in terms of commercial value, it was even far better than Mou Girl. How to turn high popularity into real benefits, this is something that agents and celebrities have been pursuing. While Mr. Xiang and Mrs. Xiang are trying to seek the layout of the big 6, they put the treasure on Shen Zhenghui's body, and even these two aspects can be said to be one, Mr. Xiang probably also talked to his wife about Shen Zhenghui's deep background in the big 6, otherwise. How can a film produced in Japan be released in the Big 6? You must know that 386 was the first to make the decision, and the big 6 only introduced ten blockbusters from Hollywood every year, and the Japanese have always wanted to enter the Chinese market, but they have never been able to get it, and now their ideas have been realized in the hands of Shen Zhenghui, doesn't this show that Shen Zhenghui has a very good background? That's why Mr. Xiang is particularly concerned about this line, hoping to catch this line, not only with the big 6 market, but also with the Japanese market.
Hong Kong films are in the most difficult transition period, and the previously open markets have been closed. New markets are to be reopened. It's not that easy to do. After the handover, many Hong Kong filmmakers thought that the backward big 6 market could not stop the pace of Hong Kong films' attack, and the result can be seen from the number of films in Hong Kong that have been decreasing.
Mrs. Xiang deliberately introduced the topic to Shen Zhenghui's new film. "Mr. Shen. I've heard you're looking for several actresses. I'm going to say it here, what kind of actor do you want, you tell me," she looked enthusiastic. "Look at Zhizhi, how is she? As long as you speak, Zhizhi has absolutely no words. ”
"Uh, this, my protagonist is full, and now it's all supporting characters."
"The supporting role is nothing, it's good to run a trick." Mrs. Xiang hurriedly said, "Andy is all tricks, and Zhizhi can too." ”
Shen Zhenghui licked his lips, "The key is that this is a demanding action movie, and all the actors participating in the performance are required to have a martial arts foundation." ”
"There is absolutely no problem with this Zhizhi." Mrs. Xiang immediately said, "They are all Hong Kong actors, and the action scenes are all small ca, Zhizhi, do you say, if you don't hang a Weiya and make a fight, what else is a Hong Kong actor?" ”
Mrs. Xiang turned her head to Andy Liu, "Andy, are you right?" ”
Liu Tianwang was a little embarrassed, "This scene is really hard," he said, "The people who participated in the performance were all martial arts champions or something, and the worst Daniel Wu was also an actor under Jack Cheng." The implication is probably that this is a real filming scene, and it is not something that can be easily fooled.
Zhang Zhizhi made a simple appearance in "Tokyo Raiders" before, and also played it, and the table can only be said to be decent, but the level of "Tokyo Raiders" is definitely not what Shen Zhenghui wants.
Shen Zhenghui thought in his heart about how to get out beautifully, and Mrs. Xiang had already started pimping the red fruit fruit, she first gave Liu Tianwang a look, Liu Tianwang hesitated, or found an excuse to leave. Then Mrs. Xiang began to attack Zhuxing Kazuya again, insisting on inviting him to play, although he was talking about business. Zhu Xinghe really can't stand this kind of passionate woman, and he doesn't know how to deal with it for a while.
"Zhizhi, help me entertain Mr. Shen, and I'll talk to Mr. Zhuxing about the co-production."
Smart, knowing that you can't talk to me, take the opportunity to pull away the light bulb.
Seeing that for a while, only himself and Shen Zhenghui were left upstairs, and Zhang Zhizhi was a little shy - I don't know if it was a performance. She poured herself a glass of wine, "Mr. Shen, I toast you." He said.
Shen Zhenghui raised his glass and took a sip, and Zhang Zhizhi swallowed the entire glass of wine in one gulp. made Shen Zhenghui a little stunned, as if he saw that she was possessed by his former leader.
"Mr. Shen, do you look down on me?"
You can see a city like me? Shen Zhenghui's smile became more and more kind, "How could it be?" ”
"You don't want to look at me with straight eyes, even if you look at me, it's a contemptuous look."
No, I can't be really obvious, you're still pretty good-looking, quite eye-catching! Shen Zhenghui smiled, "You are Mr. Xiang's person." ”
While speaking, Zhang Zhizhi drank two glasses of red wine in a row, and for a while, two red clouds flew on his cheeks, "You must look down on a girl like me, and you are willing to do anything in order to become famous." She actually came over and threw herself into Shen Zhenghui's arms, "Mr. Shen, what are Japanese girls like?" ”
It's really embarrassing, I can't imagine that she is ready to pretend to be drunk and come hard. Shen Zhenghui felt that he had miscalculated, "Miss Zhang, please sit down, let's have a good talk." ”
"Uh-huh......" dragged out the tail note, with a coquettish reprimand, "I'm just an ordinary girl, and I'll be scared." Zhang Zhizhi hugged Shen Zhenghui's waist.
It's not good to turn against Xiang Jia for the time being, I'm just too young. Shen Zhenghui thought to himself.
Zhang Zhizhi's chest pressed against Shen Zhenghui's vital point, and for a while, thinking of what happened in the future, Shen Zhenghui actually felt excited.
"Mr. Shen," Zhang Zhizhi raised his face. With tears all over his face, "I'm so uncomfortable......"
Isn't this just a hard fit without technical content? Shen Zhenghui, do you want to be knocked down by the same move for the second time? Shen Zhenghui said to himself, but Zhang Zhizhi's placket was already messed up, and he could see it from the opening of the placket......
The sudden ringing of the phone "Jingle Bell ......" startled both of them, and both of them cursed in their hearts at the same time.
Shen Zhenghui took out the phone and looked at the number, and it was now a foreign number that he didn't know, and it seemed to be Japanese.
It's also midnight in Japan. Who will call me? Shen Zhenghui had already stood up. Answering the phone with his back to Zhang Zhizhi, "Moxi Moxi? ”
"Is it convenient to speak?" Over there, Mitsumi Fukuda's voice.
"So what are you going to say? There's someone next to me. Shen Zhenghui replied.
"Women?"
"Hmm." Shen Zhenghui turned around, and Zhang Zhizhi sat on the sand and teased his head.
Springtime.
"What's important? It shouldn't matter if you say it in Japanese. ”
"Bad news."
"Your master's true cause of death has been exposed?"
"Of course not, huh? But how do you know the cause of his death has an inside story? ”
"I just don't think people who are prescribed that kind of drug will simply die of natural causes. Anyway, how old is your master? ”
"Forget it. Let's not talk about this for now. Mitsumi Fukuda on the other end of the phone didn't seem to treat the issue as a secret, and her tone was rather flat, "Have you watched the news?" ”
"News." Shen Zhenghui looked around the whole room and didn't see the TV, "There is no TV near me, if there is any news, you can tell me." ”
"Well, heavy dà news." Mitsumi Fukuda's tone was quite solemn, "Megumi Obuchi had a cerebral hemorrhage and died in the hospital. ”
Shen Zhenghui had the illusion that he was the leader of China, but then he put this feeling aside, "What does this have to do with me?" ”
"He will be succeeded by Yoshiro Mori."
"So?"
"You probably don't know the position of Yoshiro Mori himself and the position of the forces behind him."
"Oh!" Shen Zhenghui patted his forehead, the so-called 'political cold and economic heat' started with Yoshiro Mori, although the period of ups and downs, occasional recurrence, but since then, the bilateral relations between China and Japan have never been better.
"Are you trying to show that we will have great difficulties in doing business in the future?"
"I think it's quite difficult, 'World War Story' will probably be the last Japanese film to be released in China, and the cultural reciprocity trade agreement signed before will probably be invalidated soon."
"You should be mentally prepared for this."
"I was mentally prepared and tried to change the situation, and to my disappointment, my efforts only delayed the development of things for more than a month."
"Frustrated?"
"Of course," Mitsumi Fukuda said, "that means we'll need new plans soon." ”
Shen Zhenghui didn't know what to say for a while, "You're starting to come back to work?" He asked.
"Come on, let me ask you, I heard that you have set up a new company in Hong Kong?"
"Leather bag company," Shen Zhenghui replied, "mainly for film investment, I don't think there will be less time to deal with Hong Kong in the future." ”
"Very well," said Mitsumi Fukuda, "I think it is also necessary for me to set up a leather bag company in Hong Kong as well, and I need a few local shareholders, and I have already booked a place for you." ”
"Uh, really? It's an honor. ”
"I hope you can recommend a few good people to be my directors, it seems that we will have to wear a sheepskin when we enter the Chinese market in the future."
"You're going to talk to me on the phone about such a complicated issue? Leave it for a face-to-face interview! Shen Zhenghui glanced at Zhang Zhizhi, who was listening carefully with his ears pricked up, and felt that this atmosphere was not suitable for continuing to speak.
"I'm just telling you about my decision, not trying to discuss anything." Mitsumi Fukuda on the other end of the phone said, "Although it's not good for you to be distracted at this time, I can only remind you not to be too immersed in the success of "World Air Battle Story". ”
"This market, which I have prepared for the big 6, is a complete surprise." Shen Zhenghui said, "Natsumi Horiguchi sued me at the box office in Japan, 5.2 billion yen. ”
"That's old news, but the latest statistic is that it's over 6o billion yen."
"Oh, that's amazing."
"Prime Minister Obuchi was accompanied by his daughter to the cinema to watch this movie before, because he felt that this movie could reflect his dream of great power."
"It's delusional."
"Anyway, he passed away, and the Japanese people began to miss him, and gossip reports reported that he accompanied his daughter to watch a movie before he died, so the box office has begun to be high again."
"I didn't expect you, you're amazing."
"That's not what I'm for." Mitsumi Fukuda said on the other end of the phone, and then she suddenly changed to a very strange topic, "The woman next to you is Zhang Zhizhi?" ”
Shen Zhenghui's vigilant gaze swept around, then walked to the window, and looked outside again, "Fujitang Xiangcheng shouldn't be by my side." He said.
"That's a guess!"
"I don't believe it!"
"Have you ever thought about changing his fate?"
"It's too much trouble for me, isn't it?" Shen Zhenghui glanced at it, wiped away his tears, and sat there dignified and looked at his Zhang Zhizhi with a smile.
"Just try to have fun! You don't marry her. ”
"You rascal!" (To be continued!)
