Volume I, Chapter 32, party
"Come on, Ah Xing, cheers!"
"Xingzai, congratulations on the big sale of your "Thunderbolt Pioneer"!"
"Xingzai, come on, come on, there's no reason why you shouldn't drink this glass of wine!"
"Ah Xing, I don't think your movie is cool enough, you should learn from Zhou Runfa, his little brother is called a cool, handsome!"
The fresh sea breeze was blowing, the cups were staggered on a yacht in Victoria Bay, and Zhou Xingchi was surrounded by a crowd with a smile on his face, and his smiling face was as bright as a flower. Just yesterday, his movie "Thunderbolt Pioneer" released on May 1 was painted in Hong Kong, and the box office of the whole movie approached 10 million Hong Kong dollars, compared to its production cost of less than 2 million, only in Hong Kong, Li Xiuxian's film not only recovered the cost but also turned a sum, and so on sold Taiwan and Southeast Asian films, Universal Pictures can be said to be crazy this time. With the big hit of the movie, the after-the-fact celebration banquet is definitely going to be held.
However, Magnum Pictures' celebration banquet will not be held until this evening, and it just so happened that at this time, Zhou Xingchi accepted the invitation of several friends outside the circle, boarded the private luxury yacht docked in Victoria Bay, and held a small private celebration banquet for him on the yacht.
On the yacht, there are both men and women. Most of the men are gorgeously dressed and rich, the women are all young and beautiful, there are a few second- and third-tier actresses and newspaper models with good looks, but more of them are the children of the rich.
For a while, it was noisy, loud, pretentious, and extravagant.
Seeing two young women who had reached the high level, you pushed me and yelled at each other, and as soon as I took off my shirt, I showed my bra frankly with the smell of alcohol, and twisted the waist of the water snake in the center of the crowd with the sound of music. Zhou Xingchi also put down his glass, he knew in his heart that except for a few second- and third-tier actresses who were not very famous, all of them were wealthy second-generation people. Today's celebration banquet is not so much for him, but rather a carnival party under this signboard.
It is not the first time that Zhou Xingchi has participated in this kind of gathering made by the rich second generation of wealthy families, but compared to these wealthy gentlemen, he was born in a civilian family and has been wandering in the ranks of second- and third-tier movie stars for many years, and his financial resources and status are far inferior to these rich second generations, Zhou Xingchi himself knows this very well, so don't look at the usual times when they talk happily together, but he knows very well that he is a little inferior in front of others.
Two young women who are dancing vigorously one is from the Kowloon Lei family, the other is the only daughter of Hong Kong lime king Xue Chengen, several onlookers coaxed the young man with colorful hair, one is the youngest grandson of the boat king surnamed Zhao, the other is the son of the director of the Kowloon MTR, and the other is from the department store giant Qiu Jia. None of them are good-looking existences, if there is no relationship, he Zhou Xingchi is unknown in the entertainment industry, and if he sharpens his head, he may not be able to squeeze into the circle of this so-called 'high society'.
"How's it going, Ah Xing. Am I satisfied with this party? ”
A slightly drunken shrill voice woke up Zhou Xingchi, he looked back and hurriedly put a smile on his face, and got up to salute: "I haven't had time to say thank you to Luo Sheng yet, I'm honored to celebrate my movie box office success with Luo Sheng!" ”
It was a young man, although his appearance was ordinary, but his figure was also burly, with a square face and a hint of rebelliousness between his eyebrows, and a high-priced Burberry casual suit set off him extraordinarily.
When greeting Zhou Xingchi, he held a wine glass in one hand, but the other hand was holding a tall and plump woman, Zhou Xingchi glanced at the woman who was more delicate than flowers, this woman named 'Qiu Yueqing' He had some impressions, it was said that she was the champion of last year's 'Miss Asia'. It's a pity that ATV thought she was too proud after signing her, so she didn't arrange a drama for her for almost a year. I heard that this sister has had a hard time in the past year, and she had to pick up her former identity as a 'photography model' again, taking pictures and endorsing magazines and periodicals everywhere to make money to support herself.
Stephen Chow once heard the master in front of him proudly mention that a few days ago when he went to the Lisboa Hotel in Macau, he took a fancy to this Asian sister, and now he was going to have a party, and he also went to Macau to pick her up who was shooting advertisements for the Lisboa Hotel. Needless to say, Qiu Yueqing has become the prey of this 'big player'.
Qiu Yueqing was indeed born with a beautiful and beautiful country, but Zhou Xingchi only glanced at it a few times before retracting his gaze. He was worried about offending the person in front of him, this person's name was Luo Zhaohui, a famous real estate prodigy in Hong Kong. Don't look at Luo Zhaohui's age is two years younger than him, but looking at the entire Hong Kong high society, he is also an amazing existence.
This master went to work hard in the society before graduating from middle school, and learned to do real estate sales from others. At the age of 18, he earned his first million, and at the age of 23, he was already among the billionaires in Hong Kong, and now he is even more successful. It is rumored that his net worth has exceeded one billion, and Zhou Xingchi has a good personal relationship with him, but he knows slightly more than others. He knows very well that even if Luo Zhaohui does not have a net worth of one billion, he has a huge amount of seven or eight billion, and he is the most famous among the young generation of rich people in Hong Kong.
Luo Zhao raised his eyebrows, his voice was not high but slightly shrivelled, he had developed a habit of selling houses in his early years, and whenever he spoke, his facial expression was exaggerated and rich. Xu is a self-made teenager, and between his demeanor and words, there is an indelible rebelliousness, "How is it, Ah Xing." Do you have any fancy and need me to introduce you? ”
"No need, Rason!"
Zhou Xingchi does have a few that he likes, but several rich second generations are worth hundreds of millions, although he Zhou Xingchi has also debuted for a few years, but he has always been mixed at the bottom, and he has only saved one or two million pieces of furniture, so although he sharpened his head and wanted to drill into the 'high society', he still has some inferiority complex and lack of confidence in his bones.
can start from scratch in just ten years, and lay a billion-dollar industry before it can be established, Luo Zhao's vision is extraordinary. In the past two years, his pockets have gradually swelled, and he is preparing to change his previous strategy of engaging in real estate agency, selling and buying to engage in large-scale real estate sales. There are too many real estate companies in Hong Kong, and this industry still needs advertising and celebrity endorsements, and big-name celebrities are too high, and they mostly cooperate with real estate giants. Looking at the Hong Kong entertainment industry, Luo Zhao waved for a long time before finally finding a few stars who he thought had the potential to become emperor superstars, and Zhou Xingchi, who had just filmed "Thunderbolt Pioneer" and was famous, was the one he was most optimistic about.
In his opinion, Zhou Xingchi is only two years older than him, and like him, he entered the society early, and he has been working hard in the entertainment industry for some years. In this artist who never let go of a chance to climb up, Luo Zhaohui seemed to see his former self, which is why he looked at Zhou Xingchi, who had not yet become famous, differently.
The big hit of "Thunderbolt Pioneer" also proves that his vision is right, and the person he fancies only needs one chance to get up.
"Don't be so restrained, Ah Xing!"
Luo Zhaohua glanced at Qiu Yueqing, and gave her the empty wine glass, Qiu Yueqing got up to help him pour the wine. Luo Zhaohua sat comfortably on the sofa next to him, playing with a brand-new custom Rolex diamond-encrusted gold watch in his hand, "This circle seems to have a high threshold, but in fact, it is just like that." Getting used to it early will help your career, and there are not many of these people who are short of money. How about it, I am satisfied with the yacht I ordered at the shipyard in Hamburg, Germany, today I am here to hold a celebration banquet for you, and secondly, it is also my yacht trial. I'm going to have a more formal party next month. How about it, when the time comes, I'll introduce you to a big guy! ”
Zhou Xingchi was stunned for a moment, not knowing if it was an illusion, and for a moment he saw a respectful look on the face of Luo Zhaohua, who had always been unruly, which made him curious, what kind of big man could make Luo Zhaohui, who had always been unruly, so respectful.
However, although he was curious, he was a little embarrassed and said, "I really want to participate, but Luo Sheng, I may really have no time next month." You also know that if Li Sheng hadn't given me the opportunity to shoot "Thunderbolt Pioneer" at the beginning of the year, I might still be mixed at the bottom. His Universal Pictures has now invested in another film, "The Man Who Catches the Wind", and wants to invite me to continue working together, and I have to give him this face for anything. ”
"Okay, righteous enough, I like a righteous person like you!" Luo Zhao waved a thumbs up, and his two eyebrows danced up and down, "It's okay, there will be opportunities in the future." You are busy with your affairs first, if there are a few more blockbuster movies, the next Cheng Long and Zhou Yanfa will be you! ”
At this moment, Xu didn't even think of himself. His casual words will become a reality in a few years.
"Roger, what are you going to drink?"
The two were chatting happily, when they suddenly heard someone calling his English name not far away, Luo Zhaohua turned around, and saw Qiu Yueqing shouting with her hands together in a trumpet shape.
"Give me a glass of Rémy Martin!"
He glanced at the few bottles of brandy on the table over there, replied casually, then turned around and shrugged his shoulders with Zhou Xingchi, "Those wealthy children are really good at playing, what Louis XIII, Golden Age, XO, Napoleon, Remy Martin, when I first went to a wealthy banquet, I thought it was a bunch of foreign wine brands, and there were a lot of troubles about it, and later I learned that this is the French Yankee's rating of wine!" ”
Zhou Xingchi smiled, embarrassment flashed on his face, he didn't understand this, he couldn't answer at all, so he had to look in other directions and pretend to be looking at the scenery. Who knew that Lu Dao looked at it, but his eyes were unconsciously attracted by Qiu Yueqing, who was frolicking around several rich second generations. The towering jade peak, the beautiful and slender legs, and the flawless face, although he knew that Lu Dao was Luo Zhaohua's prey, he still couldn't help but compare her with his girlfriend Luo Huijuan, and soon he had a number in his heart, and he admitted in disappointment that in terms of beauty, temperament and figure, his girlfriend couldn't compare to last year's Asian sister champion.
Luo Zhaohui, who was quite talkative, was talking with relish, and suddenly realized that Zhou Xingchi next to him was not answering, and when he came back to his senses, he found that his mind had already turned to other directions. He also followed Zhou Xingchi's gaze, but saw Qiu Yueqing, who was surrounded by several rich second generations, raised his eyebrows, took off his suit jacket casually, took out a lighter and a pack of Marlboros from his pocket, lit a cigarette and asked, "What, you have taken a fancy to her?" As long as you like, I'll give it to you! ”
Zhou Xingchi smiled awkwardly, he thought Luo Zhaohua was just joking, who expected that the expression on his face was not like a joke, "I mean it, but don't say I didn't remind you, that chick is not so easy to deal with." I haven't played any popular models in magazines and newspapers, and I've tried a few of them, but this chick is the most playful and the most caring. See, no, I brought her here, but I'm the main owner now, I'm afraid she has forgotten happily, and she is still thinking about which Kaizi to pick up, to be her wealthy and broad. ”
He snorted coldly and lowered his voice, "I spent 300,000 yuan on her to get her to bed." In Hong Kong, 300,000 what kind of stars can't play ......"
Zhou Xingchi was silent, after all, he is an insider, how many female stars have sharpened their heads and want to marry into wealthy families, he has seen and heard too much.
'. The child is ruthless, the drama is unrighteous', this sentence is often used by outsiders to slander the entertainment industry, although the words are a little ugly, but 'it is difficult for the entertainment industry to have true feelings' is a big truth.
Maybe it's time to find a girlfriend outside the circle in the future!
In an instant, such a sentence suddenly appeared in Zhou Xingchi's head, and he paused for a moment before shaking his head and throwing this distracting thought to the back of his mind.
Xu was aware that she had been drinking for Luo Zhao for too long, and Qiu Yueqing quickly took small steps, her hips constantly twisting and drawing an arc, and slowly walked over.
"Luo Sheng, your wine!"
Luo Zhao raised his eyebrows, and without thanking him, he directly took it and drank half of it in one go. As he himself said, he doesn't know how to drink, and he really can't drink more than 4,000 remy horses and more than 100 ordinary brandy, what's the difference between this.
Qiu Yueqing saw that his attitude had faded, and her heart sank. She is a smart woman, the real estate prodigy Luo Zhaohui is famous in Xiangjiang, and she has only known each other for a few days, and she has eaten countless benefits from Luo Zhaohui, so she naturally doesn't want the relationship to fade. I saw that her eyes were flooded, and she was about to use a soul-seducing trick to please him, but suddenly she heard a phone ringing. Qiu Yueqing was stunned, and when she looked at the place where the sound came, it turned out to be the eldest brother she had placed in the corner.
In 1973, Martin, an engineer at Motorola in the United States. After Coopa invented the world's first mobile phone, it became popular all over the world in just over a decade. In the early 80s, mobile phones came to Hong Kong, because Hung Jinbao, a big brother in the Hong Kong film industry, was the first to use it, and then the mobile phone was nicknamed Big Brother in Hong Kong. However, this thing is very expensive in Hong Kong, and it costs almost 25,000 Hong Kong dollars for a piece, and many second-tier stars in the entertainment industry may not be able to afford it. Qiu Yueqing's this, she pestered Luo Zhaohui to buy it for her a few days ago, in order to facilitate the two to contact in the future, there are not many people who know her phone now, except for Luo Zhaohui and a few rich second generations over there, only the crew and a few of her friends know it.
Suddenly her mind was clear, and she suddenly remembered that she had talked on the phone with a sister senior this morning, and the former sister senior named Ye Yuqing told her that she had helped her contact a movie shooting, and it was a role with a lot of scenes, Qiu Yueqing was excited, this was the first movie to invite her, so she agreed to meet today. Now that the phone rang, she counted the time and already knew it.
