Chapter 658: Tang Bohu points autumn incense
After Wu Mengda developed, he had already moved out of the dilapidated house on Temple Street, he was not like Zhou Xingchi who spent a lot of money and bought a three-bedroom and two-living apartment, he was not so generous, he could only rent a two-bedroom house, or live in a community with Zhou Xingchi.
The family that should be happy has been full of contradictions recently.
There is a way that we can only share weal and sorrow, not weal and woe! Mai Lili completely agreed with this old saying, when Wu Mengda was in debt, although the two lived in poverty, and they couldn't even eat in order to repay the money, but the husband and wife were affectionate, the family was harmonious, and they never had any awkwardness.
"Dad, Mommy asked us to call you to dinner." The twin daughters pulled Wu Mengda left and right, their big eyes were very praying, and the quarrels at home were awkward, they were the most sad, and they often stood aside with tears in their eyes.
Wu Mengda wanted to refuse, but looked at his daughter's hopeful gaze and smiled with difficulty: "Dad will accompany you to dinner!" ”
When Mai Lili saw Wu Mengda coming out of the room, she said with a cold face: "Serve your own meal." ”
Wu Mengda snorted angrily and picked up the dishes and chopsticks, walked to the rice pot, and mocked: "Your current shelf is getting bigger and bigger, and you can't ride on me one day." ”
Not to be outdone, Mai Lili sneered: "If you have the ability, you can let that little vixen cook for you." ”
"I've already said it, I have nothing to do with her, I just met when I was filming, can't I say a few words!" Wu Mengda was annoyed and angry, and put the bowl on the table.
"Mom, Dad, don't argue."
Mai Lili held back her tears, bowed her head and said, "Mom doesn't quarrel, be good, you eat quickly." ”
Wu Mengda smiled reluctantly at his daughter, then raised his head and said, "Just look at the information in the newspaper, how can you take it seriously!" ”
"In front of my daughter. I don't quarrel with you! Mai Lili picked up a few pieces of lean meat for her two daughters, and said kindly: "Eat more meat, you are growing now, and you used to be hungry, because your mother is not good." ”
Thinking of the previous days, Wu Mengda almost burst into tears, and said softly: "Wife, in order to take care of this family, you are busy like a nanny, especially in those days." I'm sorry for you, no matter what, I never thought of leaving you and the child alone, even if I have a woman outside, I will raise you. ”
The softness of Mai Lili's heart was touched, and she said in a low voice: "If you want a divorce, I won't pester you." ”
Wu Mengda said seriously: "I won't get divorced!" I, Wu Mengda, am not an ungrateful person, you are good to me, I remember it in my heart. In the future, half of the money I earn will be handed over to you. ”
Mai Lili said: "You don't want to mess with flowers and grass outside, I don't want your money." ”
Wu Mengda breathed a sigh of relief, this difficulty was over. smiled: "It's all about acting outside, you know, I'm a little handsome, and some girls can't walk when they see me." If I ignore them, people say that I am a big name, and I have today's status all thanks to the support of Mr. Wang. I can't let him down. ”
Mai Lili said brokenly: "You are making excuses again, what does it have to do with Mr. Wang, did he call you this?" ”
Wu Mengda sneered: "In terms of the kung fu of picking up girls, ten Wu Mengda can't catch up with a President Wang, and everyone says that Mr. Wang's confidantes can form a reinforced platoon, gather them, and divide them into various ways to shoot a scene." ”
Mai Lili sneered: "It's going to talk nonsense, are those women all fools?" What if he had money? ”
"You don't understand, woman now!" Wu Mengda shook his head, in Tengfei Entertainment, it is no secret that Wang Zichuan is a good woman, I don't know who deliberately spreads it, as long as the female artists in the company have a little looks, they can't escape this kind of scandal.
Mai Lili said: "I see, this king is always a good person!" ”
Wu Mengda echoed: "Mr. Wang is generous, righteous and squandering money, when I knew that I owed usury, the salary I gave me was 300,000, for this, I will always be grateful and admire him, and follow him all my life!" ”
Mai Lili added some rice to the two daughters and explained: "I didn't mean that, the company circulated this kind of scandal, isn't it a disguised protection of female artists, who has the courage to threaten Mr. Wang's woman?" ”
"You have a point!" Wu Mengda hesitated for a moment, and the image in his mind became even taller.
"Knock knock!"
"Knock knock!"
Mai Lili said gently: "I'll open the door." ”
As soon as the mother left, the twin daughters gave a thumbs up and praised: "Dad, it's amazing!" ”
Wu Mengda said proudly: "Of course, is Dad handsome?" ”
"Handsome!"
Mai Lili led Zhou Xingchi in and said with a smile: "You tease the child to say some compliments!" ”
Wu Mengda invited: "Ah Xing, do you want to eat some together." ”
Zhou Xingchi looked at the leftover rice plate on the table, shook his head and said, "No need, I've eaten outside." ”
Wu Mengda put down the dishes and chopsticks, touched her daughter's forehead and said, "Dad accompanies uncle to talk about very important things, you two are not allowed to come in to disturb, and you are not allowed to pester your mother, I really don't know?" ”
"Yes!"
Zhou Xingchi said enviously: "Brother Da, your twin daughters are so cute. ”
Wu Mengda smiled: "You can also give birth to one." ”
Zhou Xingchi's expression was complicated, a shadow appeared in his mind, and he sneered: "Where am I a woman." ”
Wu Mengda invited Zhou Xingchi into the living room and said with a smile: "Your post-processing is finished?" ”
Zhou Xingchi said: "The post-production of "Truant Dragon" was completed yesterday, and the director asked me to tell you that a reshoot will be arranged in a few days, so pay attention to the schedule." ”
"I see." Wu Mengda's face was embarrassed, and explained: "I took over a drama the day before yesterday, but I will adjust the schedule." ”
Zhou Xingchi persuaded with a smile: "Brother Da, don't work so hard, the company has arranged enough film appointments for you, you are still outside to pick up films, and you make twenty movies a year, you are not afraid of being tired!" ”
"It's all some supporting roles, I can handle it."
Wu Mengda has experienced the pain of not having money, what he is most interested in now is to make money, making films is fast, he is desperate to make films, who knows when Hong Kong movies will decline, if you don't work hard now, you won't have a chance to work hard in the future.
Zhou Xingchi laughed at himself: "It's up to you, anyway, my principle is to rather lack than excess." ”
Wu Mengda smiled: "You have something else to do with me today, right?" ”
Zhou Xingchi immediately took out a script and explained: "This is a script I inadvertently received, I want to ask you to see if I can shoot it, if I can, I will hand the script to Chuan Ye, and we will invest together!" ”
Wu Mengda was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhou Xingchi's reaction, feeling strange in his heart, he knew Zhou Xingchi's character, he was good at taking advantage of him, and he never spit out the slightest bit of the benefits that he could swallow, and now he actually pulled him to invest together.
Zhou Xingchi urged: "Take a look, I think the script is good!" ”
"Tang Bohu points autumn fragrance"? What kind of script is this? Wu Mengda looked at the script in surprise and asked, "Ah Xing, where did you get this script from?" ”
Zhou Xingchi said: "Last week, two people blocked me, and I received this script, and I didn't care about it, but I read it a few times when I went back to the toilet, which was very interesting." ”
Wu Mengda groaned: "The title of the script is good, Tang Bohu's story is widely circulated, and it is often performed on the stage. ”
Zhou Xingchi worried: "I'm worried about the box office of costume films, and now the box office is high fashion films." ”
Wu Mengda shook his head slowly and explained: "What you said also makes sense, but I think there is also a market for costume films, but they have not been developed." ”
"Tell me about it!" Zhou Xingchi's interest increased greatly, and he was most afraid that he would not have a box office and lose money in the end.
Wu Mengda said with a smile: "Now TV dramas are all in the world of costume films, which shows that Hong Kong people have no resistance to costume films, and when the Zong family dominated the film industry, the best thing was costume films." ”
Zhou Xingchi said: "You mean that the audience is tired of watching it, so the latest popular thing is fashion films." ”
"Ah Xing, you believe me, this film can be made, even if it doesn't make money, it won't lose money."
"I only have 3 million funds now, which is more than enough to invest in a small-budget film, and a film like "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" will cost at least 10 million Hong Kong dollars." Zhou Xingchi pondered for a moment and asked, "Brother Da, how much do you plan to invest?" ”
Wu Mengda laughed at himself: "You also know my situation, I only saved 500,000 Hong Kong dollars after fighting for a year, and this money is ready to buy this house." ”
Zhou Xingchi shook his head slightly, I don't know how to cherish such a good opportunity, movies make money, and I can't buy any house.
Wu Mengda said: "Ah Xing." ”
Zhou Xingchi said to himself: "Then I still have to discuss it with Master Chuan." ”
Wu Mengda echoed: "This is as it should be, Mr. Wang attaches great importance to this kind of comedy." ”
After a pause, Wu Mengda tentatively said, "Ah Xing, is there any role for me in the film?" ”
Zhou Xingchi was embarrassed: "Brother Da, it's not that I don't help you, it depends on what Chuan Ye means, don't talk about you, if he doesn't look down on me, the role of Tang Bohu will definitely let others play it." ”
Wu Mengda said disappointedly: "Forget it, this film is very interesting." ”
Zhou Xingchi soothed: "Next time, I will definitely cooperate with you if I have the opportunity, how to say, we are also old partners." ”
"Partner?" Wu Mengda smiled very bitterly, he met Zhou Xingchi two years ago, and Zhou Xingchi was not as good as him at that time, because the performance of "Nightclub" was too self-conscious, and he was often criticized, and he said good things on the side.
Now Zhou Xingchi has become a hot star, a "Gambling Saint" is popular all over Southeast Asia, won the A/level contract of Tengfei Entertainment, and now starred in "Truant Weilong", after the release, his value must have skyrocketed, and he Wu Mengda is still a B-level contract, because the film appointment does not refuse, the salary is getting lower and lower, and the difference between the two is more than ten times.
Zhou Xingchi also saw Wu Mengda's frustration, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Da, I'll go back first, you can come to Building B to find me when you are free." ”
Wu Mengda said: "I'll send you." (To be continued......)
