Chapter 168: The Abyss
Nietzsche once said, "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares at you." ”
Shen Zhenghui also remembered another sentence: Whoever walks by, will leave traces.
So at the moment when he got Fujido Xiangcheng's reaction, Shen Zhenghui suddenly understood that the temptation he tried to make to Fukuda Mitsumi had no result for him, and on the contrary, for Fukuda Mitsumi, it became a source of information, if this kind of temptation was fed back to Fukuda Mitsumi from Fujido Xiangcheng, Fukuda Mitsumi would easily understand that Shen Zhenghui was a straight man, and he was a man before the crossing.
Why am I so stupid, Shen Zhenghui blamed himself, I should be quiet after I got the news from Liu Xin, and continuing to use Liu Xin to talk about the news is the way to fight, impulsively expanding new sources of intelligence, and the result is this, falling into the trap of others - of course, I am not sure that this must be a trap.
Shen Zhenghui immediately stood up, reached out and pressed Fujitang Xiangcheng's shoulder, and said to her seriously, "Don't tell Fukuda Mitsumi about tonight's matter." ”
"Huh?" Fujitang Xiangcheng was a little confused by Shen Zhenghui's sudden move, and when he saw Shen Zhenghui standing up and holding down his shoulder, he naturally reacted, and he raised his knee and hit Shen Zhenghui's lower abdomen.
"Oh......" Shen Zhenghui let out a miserable scream, and then his nose hit his knee again, his whole head was dizzy, and he felt dizzy, and then he collapsed on the sofa, not knowing anything.
And at this moment, Fujido Xiangcheng was apologizing to Shen Zhenghui, who had passed out, "I'm sorry." You rushed over suddenly, I wasn't mentally prepared, this, in fact, I was mentally prepared, but it was too sudden......" This girl didn't hear what Shen Zhenghui said before she was knocked unconscious, she babbled for a long time, and saw that Shen Zhenghui had no reaction, so she tentatively touched the other party's pulse, and after touching it, she breathed a sigh of relief - still alive.
Seeing this person who had fainted, it was not easy for Fujido Xiangcheng to send him to the hospital for a while. At this time, she had calmed down, and she had realized from experience that the other party had just fainted. With a sigh of relief, he dragged him to the bed and laid him flat, and out of Japanese custom, he helped him take off his coat again. After bowing deeply to Shen Zhenghui, who was lying down, he apologized. Fujido Xiangcheng put away his anxiety. Change clothes, take a shower and lie down.
This is a single queen room with only one bed. So Fujitang Xiangcheng, who had finished taking a bath, unceremoniously slept next to Shen Zhenghui.
In a sense, she can be regarded as having achieved her wish.
The next morning, when Shen Zhenghui woke up from the nightmare, he was shocked to find such a reality, Fujido Xiangcheng slept next to him in pajamas, and reached out to put his arm around her waist, which was probably the reason why he had nightmares because of the compression of his heart, two slender thighs sandwiched himself, and Fujitang Xiangcheng's young face was close at hand.
What's going on? Shen Zhenghui tried hard to remember for a long time, and finally remembered that he had been beaten twice last night because of the sore nose.
He reached out and touched his abdomen, where the muscles were sore.
Then, almost subconsciously, Shen Zhenghui touched his pants, but fortunately they were still intact. Then it means that he didn't do anything last night, and he breathed a deep sigh of relief.
"Ah, Shen Jun, are you awake?" Fujitang Xiangcheng was also woken up by Shen Zhenghui's deep breathing, she immediately bounced up from the bed and almost knelt on the edge of the bed, "I'm really sorry last night, your actions were too sudden, I knocked you out out of instinctive reaction, are you better now?" ”
Shen Zhenghui felt that he had nothing to say, "How can you sleep in the same bed with me?" ”
"There's only one bed in this room, and the sofa is too small to sleep on." Fujido Kazuki replied as a matter of course.
"You can open another room for me."
"I'm sorry, there are no empty rooms in this hotel all year round, and this time it was Mr. Hong who helped book a private room." Fujido Xiangcheng said.
Shen Zhenghui sat up, this action made him a little dizzy, and Fujitang Xiangcheng hurriedly went to help him. Shen Zhenghui came back to his senses and said to her, "Do you remember what I said to you last night?" ”
"What?"
"It's Mitsumi Fukuda......"
It was at this time that the doorbell rang.
"Who is it?" Shen Zhenghui was taken aback, a bit like he was caught raped in bed.
"Probably the crew." Fujido Xiangcheng said, and got out of bed and went directly to open the door.
"I ......" Before Shen Zhenghui could speak, Fujitang Xiangcheng had already opened the door.
Shen Zhenghui pricked up his ears and knocked on the local drama of the crew at the door, Shen Zhenghui heard him say at the door that the ticket had been booked, Miss Fujitang could directly use her passport to take a plane at the airport or something, Fujitang Xiangcheng spoke awkward Cantonese and said words of thanks to the other party, probably because Fujitang Xiangcheng's attitude was too soft, or the bathrobe she was wearing was too tempting, this local drama in Hong Kong probably thought that this was a Japanese actor who was very easy to get started, so he asked in a flirtatious tone, "Miss Fujitang, can I go in and sit down?" ”
"Huh?" Fujido Kazuki didn't react for a while, and when she started to say "I'm sorry", the other party had already walked in.
Then Shen Zhenghui sat on the bed very embarrassed and made eye contact with the drama gentleman who was stunned after coming in.
The Hong Kong people shuddered and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know anyone." After saying that, he turned around and ran, and Fujido Xiangcheng also couldn't react.
Waiting for Fujitang Xiangcheng to close the door and walk in again, Shen Zhenghui looked at her with a bitter expression, "Why did you react so quickly when you faced me last night?" ”
Fujido Xiangcheng had no choice but to stick out her tongue.
This is definitely not under control, maybe in a few days, no, even a few hours later, the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry will know. Shen Zhenghui thought of this depressedly, and looked at Fujitang Xiangcheng a little annoyed: If I really eat this orange, it will be fine, but it is ......
"Mr. Shen?" Fujido asked, "Are you going back to Japan?" ”
"Nope. I'm going back to the mainland. Shen Zhenghui stood up and began to get dressed,
"Back to the mainland?"
"Yes."
"You didn't even say that."
"Now that I've said it, remember!" Shen Zhenghui got dressed and walked to the door, "Remember what I said last night." ”
"Which one?"
"It's about President Fukuda, don't tell Mitsumi Fukuda what I'm asking."
"Ah, those words!" Fujido Xiangcheng touched her hair, looking like it depends on your appearance, "If people can play the heroine of Shen Jun's movie, maybe they will forget what you told me last night." ”
This is completely wrong, it was clear that I suffered last night. They were all knocked unconscious. How can it be blackmailed instead? Shen Zhenghui squeezed out a smile, "Miss Fujitang, I will remember you." ”
He reached for the doorknob.
"Shen Jun, don't you wash your face and brush your teeth?" Fujido asked.
"Forget it, I don't want to stay in this room any longer." Shen Zhenghui replied. Unscrew the door and walk out. Just walked a few steps. saw director Lu Yang walking towards him, and he seemed very embarrassed after seeing himself.
At this time, Shen Zhenghui had already seen it, "Director Lu." What's the matter? Shen Zhenghui asked.
Lu Yang coughed and said embarrassedly, "I just came back." ”
Shen Zhenghui glanced at his dark circles, nodded, and said, "Understood." ”
Just as he was about to continue walking, Lu Yangque reached out and grabbed Shen Zhenghui's sleeve, "President," he shouted, "I want to talk to you about something." ”
"What's the matter?" Shen Zhenghui asked.
Lu Yang looked at the corridor, and at this time, Fujitang Xiangcheng walked out, "Shen Jun, your wallet fell in my room." ”
Shen Zhenghui and Lu Yang felt an inexplicable embarrassment at the same time.
Fujitang Xiangcheng walked over and handed the wallet to Shen Zhenghui unconsciously, and greeted Lu Yang, "Director Lu, you are early!" ”
Lu Yang squeezed out a smile, "You're early." ”
Shen Zhenghui stuffed his wallet into his clothes and said to Lu Yang, "Why don't we find a place to have breakfast." ”
"It's ...... the hotel" Lu Yang saw Shen Zhenghui's expression, and immediately changed his words and said, "There is a good tea restaurant nearby." He was embarrassed to say that he had just come back from breakfast.
Shen Zhenghui couldn't get used to eating morning tea in Hong Kong, but now that he was hungry, he still ordered a few snacks that he didn't hate, and listened to what Lu Yang wanted to say by the way.
Lu Yang's expression looked rather tangled, and he was now regretting his impulsiveness. Last night, as a director, he was entertained by Brother Hong in the Hong Kong film industry to go out to play, Brother Hong is fifty years old this year, he is already the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, two years ago he went to Hollywood to shoot the TV series "Crossing the River Dragon", Hollywood is not easy to mix, he can't stand on his feet, and finally has to return to the Hong Kong film industry. Although he is a big brother-level figure in the Hong Kong film industry, the current Hong Kong film industry is simply a small pond, and he can't raise a big brother-level character, otherwise characters like Jack Cheng, Jett Lee, and Little Brother Ma would not go to Hollywood for development, and see that there are fewer and fewer works of Zhou Xingxing who stay in Hong Kong, and in the future, I will know what the current environment is like by barely putting my mind on making movies.
But Brother Hong still has to put on the big brother's shelf, which is a bit of a crime. After all, he is not like his junior brother, he has enough international appeal.
So this time, Lu Yang's crew came to film, and Brother Hong was keenly aware that this was an opportunity, because the background of this crew is complicated, the boss has Japanese and mainlanders, and the team from Hong Kong is used, it is simply a miscellaneous brand, and the bosses of Japan and the mainland seem to be strong, so Brother Hong realized his advantages, and his foundation in Hong Kong is thick enough. But obviously he is not the first person to realize this, whether it is Huanya or Yongsheng, or even Jiahe, these big bosses have long been dispatched for the market, so this time, when Yuan Xiangren of Lu Yangtong Guò Yuan Jiaban found Brother Hong to film, he not only agreed and received a friendly price, but also took the initiative to help a lot, and also cooperated with the director very much during the filming process, and finally brought the relationship with the director closer, and logically put forward a request for cooperation.
Lu Yang sat in front of Shen Zhenghui and sat a little on wax. He himself is still a working boy at all, and he can't reach the level of decision-making at all, but because he saves face in front of Brother Hong, although he didn't agree to his request. But I also said that I should try to talk about it as much as possible. Lu Yang has long realized that he is not Japanese, and the main direction of filming movies in the future can only be Hong Kong and the mainland, so from the perspective of him as a director, he is not suitable to ignore the requirements of a film boss like Brother Hong.
Now the key is to look at the attitude of the boss. Lu Yang thought to himself, his eyes focused anxiously on Shen Zhenghui's face.
After listening to Lu Yang's words, Shen Zhenghui's feeling is when he has become a fragrant glutton, and after thinking about it carefully, it seems that he has been a fragrant gluttony from the beginning, although Hong Jinbao is also a big man in the Hong Kong film industry. But in terms of status, he is still a step behind several major companies. However, there is no need to deliberately offend him, although he knows what virtues many people in the Hong Kong film industry have, but Shen Zhenghui has no interest in helping the Hong Kong film industry to rectify.
"If you can make money, of course, it doesn't matter how you cooperate. Specific conditions can be discussed. Shen Zhenghui replied. But Director Lu. I think you should focus mainly on the work, if there is no work, what can we do with it? ”
Lu Yang thought that he was beating himself. But Shen Zhenghui continued, "There is no problem with cooperation, the question is who occupies the dominance, we now have too few cards in Hong Kong, we must cooperate, but if there are too many cards by others, it is someone else who occupies the dominance," he glanced at Lu Yang, "This time Director Lu's work is actually a test of the waters, and it can be regarded as cultivating our own team, I hope Director Lu will be aware of this, anyway, I will not always invest money for Hong Kong people to spend, and then I will also help them to do distribution." ”
These words made Lu Yang, who hadn't slept all night, suddenly cheer up.
"What do you mean......" he asked cautiously.
Shen Zhenghui patted Lu Yang on the shoulder, "Director Lu, you have to work hard, let's take a look at the box office of "Slaying the Wolf" first, of course cooperation can be discussed, but cooperation is also slow step by step!" This time, let's test the water and see the results first. Of course, although I have the heart to expand my business in Hong Kong, for now, I still have to rely on Director Lu alone. ”
Lu Yang felt that the sun was shining on him, "Yes, Mr. Shen, I will work hard." ”
"Huanya is going to shoot "Infernal Affairs", you go to talk to Lin Jian on my behalf, join the crew as an assistant director, study hard, I will talk to Zhu Xinghe about this matter. When the time comes, he will take you there. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Shen." Lu Yang's whole person was beaming with joy.
"Infernal Affairs" invested 40 million Hong Kong dollars in the spring, which is a big investor such as Uniasia, and sending an assistant director is not a matter at all, not sending a producer, I'm afraid Lin Jian can't ask for it.
In the afternoon, Shen Zhenghui bid farewell to Hong Kong and returned to Pengcheng through the Luohu port. This time, the itinerary has more tasks, first of all, a meeting in the original power, asking them to set up a Hong Kong comic animation production team, and then arrange to continue to send artists to Japan. For a while, Ah Heng was still stranded in Japan, and he wanted to come back with the painters who were sent back to China to join the newly formed Hong Kong comic animation production team. Everyone was frightened by Shen Zhenghui's generosity, and animated films and TV animation were launched in Japan, and the outsourcing business of domestic animation companies also began to expand. Young animation has never been broken, and with the comic magazines that continue to expand their territory, Shen Zhenghui's animation empire has the momentum of laying the foundation for a while.
Only Shen Zhenghui himself knows how vulnerable this momentum is, and he doesn't need CCTV to come forward, he just needs the local TV station to get a little stuck in the acquisition of animation, the government stops the preferential policies, and the Central Propaganda Department and the Ministry of Culture, or the Copyright Agency send out a few undercover agents to make the same thing as "The King of Picture Books", Shen Zhenghui has no power to resist, and he is about to worry about his subordinates eating. But at the moment, there is no such problem, everyone only sees that Mr. Shen seems to be in a very wild relationship, and there are people everywhere. I don't see that the current painters are all taking the salary of cabbage for Shen Zhenghui to exploit, even cartoonists are no exception, as long as you compare their treatment with people in the same position in Japan, you can see it, so from this perspective now, it is Shen Zhenghui who needs Mitsumi Fukuda instead of the opposite.
After simply dealing with Pengcheng's affairs, he didn't care about going home, of course, there was no one in the family, Shen Zhenghui's father and mother were working hard in the field, and several invested crews had to stare at it with their own eyes to rest assured. Shen Zhenghui first went north to Yuhang, first arranged the affairs of Yuhang Xinghui Animation Company, and repaid attention to the development of the starting point network. The heavy purchase of the right to adapt the script seems to have ignited the false fire of online literature all of a sudden, and the number of registered authors at the starting point has increased significantly, and the number of eunuch works has maintained the same growth ratio. Many authors have been decisively guided by the fact that they have not received the right to adapt and signed a contract from the editor, and the starting point is also very troublesome for these enthusiastic authors.
Shen Zhenghui originally thought about whether he could cultivate a team of screenwriters from writers, but now it seems that the plan is going to be postponed.
Meeting Wang Anran again, mainly to maintain a relationship, Shen Zhenghui brought a lot of small things as gifts, but the next day after meeting Wang Anran, Wang Anping blocked the door, she met and asked not about the preparation and filming of the movie, but asked, "What is going on with the Li family in Hong Kong?" ”
Shen Zhenghui was a little stunned, because he sent a text message to Wang Anping that day, Wang Anping never replied, and Shen Zhenghui thought that for the Wang family, this matter was nothing.
"Li Jiatong guò other channels have sent us a temptation to cooperate," Wang Anping said, "but that's the eldest son of Li, you said that the second son of Li is also interested, what is going on?" Tell me about it. (To be continued......)
