Chapter 171: Class Visits and Benefits
Although neither Zhou Xingchi nor Tang Dynasty Films made any response, Hong Kong media reporters still got the latest news that Zhou Xingchi was beaten by gangsters through their own channels, among which "Oriental Daily" even broke the news that Zhou Xingchi was beaten because he was fighting with a certain gangster for Zhang Mian, so that he was jealous and incurred revenge, as for who this gangster is, it seems that he has scruples, and the newspaper does not say it clearly, but as long as he knows something about the Hong Kong entertainment industry, he can basically guess it.
Seeing that things are getting worse, Zhou Xingchi and Tang Dynasty movies as the parties still have no response, but Zhang Meng, who was portrayed by the media as the cause of the incident, first issued a statement through his agent, claiming that he and Zhou Xingchi are just ordinary friends, not boyfriend and girlfriend as imagined by the outside world.
In the current situation, no matter what Zhang Mian's thoughts are, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate to say this in the face of the public, but Zhou Xingchi preconceived that Zhang Mian wanted to use the statement to clear up the relationship with him, and he immediately hated it in his heart, and his already aggrieved and depressed mood because of being beaten suddenly exploded, if it wasn't for Wu Mengda, he really wanted to come to the door to ask Zhang Meng for an explanation.
"I said, can you calm down, when have you been so impulsive, don't you see that Zhang Mianwei wants to draw a line with you? You really went to Zhang Meng to discuss the explanation, not to mention if you can get a satisfactory answer, if you let Xiang Huaqiang know that he will definitely not spare you, if the company is willing to come forward, it will be fine, but now Chen Shao and Zeng are obviously very dissatisfied with you, if you cause something again, it will be really troublesome. The most important thing you should do now is to recuperate at home, wait for the injury on your face to heal in a few days, and then go to the company to apologize to Mr. Zeng in person, as long as you are sincere, there should be no problem. Director Zhang is right, you have to know how to put yourself in the right position, after all, no boss likes to disobey and always play big name employees. β
Zhou Xingchi sat on the sofa, supported his forehead with his hands, looked at the ground with his eyes, and was silent for a long time, seeing this, Wu Mengda couldn't help but sigh, this is the first time he has sighed in the past two days, since the incident the night before yesterday, Zhou Xingchi's mood has been extremely low, and he has completely lost his full vitality in the past, this situation has lasted for two days, and the whole person is so haggard that he has deformed.
As Zhou Xingchi's best partner and good friend in his career, he is anxious, but he has no choice but to try to enlighten him about this kind of thing.
After a while, Zhou Xingchi glanced at Zhang Mian's statement in the newspaper again, and finally raised his head and said: "Okay, I won't joke with my life and future, what I'm most worried about now is whether "The Judge of the Dead" can be on time and whether it will change the starring role." β
Wu Mengda hesitated and said: "It shouldn't be enough, the script of "The Judge of the Dead" can be seen at a glance that Lu Dao is written according to your performance style, if the actor is temporarily replaced, the script will definitely be greatly changed, I think Chen Shao should not have that leisure, don't think about it." β
Zhou Xingchi was still not at ease: "Then do you think it will be postponed?" β
At this time, the doorbell just rang, Wu Mengda thought that it was a reporter who had mixed into the community again, so he ignored it and said: "Isn't there still a few days before the official start of filming, and the bruises on your face should disappear by then, and then you will personally apologize to Mr. Zeng, and all the problems will be solved." β
The doorbell rang incistently, Wu Mengda got up with doubts and walked to the back of the door to look out of the door through the cat's eye, and then quickly opened the door, only to see Liang Chaowei standing outside with an anxious face.
Seeing the door open, Liang Chaowei opened the door and Wu Mengda said hello: "Uncle Da, you are also there." β
Wu Mengda shrugged his shoulders and said, "I've been living here for two days. β
"Wei Zai is here." Zhou Xingchi's weak voice sounded in the living room. Liang Chaowei walked over and complained first: "I said that you don't treat me as a friend anymore, and you don't tell me if such a big thing happens, and you don't answer the phone, you look at what you have become now, you have made yourself like this after only a few days of not seeing you, people are not ghosts, at most they are lovelorns, what's the big deal, it's worth giving up on yourself like this." I've also fallen out of love, you see I'm not living a good life now. β
A few days ago, Zhou Xingchi moved and they just got together, and Zhou Xingchi told him Zhang Meng during dinner, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen in just a few days.
Zhou Xingchi smiled bitterly and said, "Is it just a simple lovelorn?" How would you feel if you found out that Ah Qian was lying to you from the beginning? It's been almost two days since the night before yesterday, Ah Mian hasn't called me, and she doesn't answer when she calls, and this morning she made another statement, and it can be seen that she has been playing tricks on me from beginning to end, and it is only a fool like me who will be tricked around. β
Hearing this, Liang Chaowei was speechless for a moment, was silent for a while, and asked, "Is your injury okay, do you want me to go to the hospital with you again?" β
"I can't die, I'll have nothing to do after a few days of rest, alas, don't talk about me, what about you, how are you and Ah Qian?" It seemed that he didn't want to say more about his own affairs, and Zhou Xingchi diverted the topic after saying two sentences, but his casual question made Liang Chaowei's face darken.
Wu Mengda walked out of the kitchen, handed a bottle of drink to Liang Chaowei in his hand, and then said to Zhou Xingchi: "I have something to deal with, you can talk first, and I'll come back later." β
After speaking, he opened the door and left, listening to the sound of the door closing, Liang Chaowei put the drink on the table, sighed, and said: "Since she jumped to ATV, we have been in contact less and less, and there has been almost no contact recently, maybe the fate of the two of us is really over." β
Zhou Xingchi's voice immediately raised: "What nonsense, Ah Qian is such a good girl, she is beautiful, don't you think it's a pity to give up like this?" I can see that Ah Qian still has feelings for you, if you can talk about it well, I believe there will be a turnaround. β
"I'm not here today to talk about my business, I saw a lot of reporters outside the community when I came just now, and there are a few suspicious people in the corridor who should be reporters, you have a wound on your face, it's best not to go out these days, otherwise being photographed by reporters will only make things worse."
"I know this way, alas, after this incident I finally realized the sinister nature of the human heart and the world, I was still too naΓ―ve before."
"It's just a little longer in the future."
β¦β¦
After staying in Zhou Xingchi's apartment for more than an hour, Liang Chaowei left, and as soon as he got out of the elevator, several people immediately surrounded him, and they were the few suspicious people he met when he came.
"Wei Zai, are you here to visit Xingzai, how is his injury?"
"Is Xingzi really beaten because he is jealous of the gangsters?"
"Are Xingzi and Zhang Meng procrastinating? As Xingzai's hair boy, what do you think of Zhang Meng's public statement denying his relationship with Xingzai when Xingzai incurred the gangster's revenge? β
ββ¦β¦β
"I'm sorry, I have nothing to say, Xie Luxie, please let me go." Liang Chaowei squeezed through the encirclement of several reporters, walked quickly to the parking lot, and drove away from the community.
The car drove back towards the road he came, and the destination was the set of the TV series "Grand Canal" he was filming, he took a half-day off today in order to see Stephen Chow, and went back early to save overtime at night, but he drove halfway to the speed gradually slowed down, and his face gradually showed a look of thought and hesitation.
β¦β¦
"I Have a Date with a Zombie" has a total of three, because it is filmed and broadcast at the same time, so the filming is particularly tense, the vast majority of the crew from the director to the protagonist, down to the ordinary drama, since the day they entered the crew, they have hardly taken a day off, and they have to shoot from 7 o'clock in the morning to 11 o'clock in the evening every day, and they have never stopped, even if it is windy and rainy.
It can be said that everyone is overloaded for this drama, and even those who fainted on the set on the spot have happened, but fortunately, ATV has done a very good job in logistics this time, especially in terms of food and accommodation, which are much better than before, which has reduced the complaints of employees.
In addition, since the start of the broadcast for more than a month, the ratings have been high, and there was originally a wireless "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" to compete with it, but since the end of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", the ratings of "I Have a Date with a Zombie" have dominated the same period, and the ratings of the episode at the end of the first part even set a super high record of 52 points, which undoubtedly provided a strong impetus for the entire crew to persevere.
It's been more than a month since it started broadcasting, and the second part has been broadcast for almost one-third, and the third part has also begun to be filmed, and it is expected to be completed in another half a month.
has been working without vacation for nearly two months, and Zeng Daqian is still the heroine, the weight of the scene can be imagined, the physical load has long been to the limit, if it weren't for the crew taking special care of their leading actors, her body may not be able to hold on for a long time, no, just after filming a rival scene with He Jiajin, she didn't even take off her makeup, she walked into the dressing room and lay directly on the table, last night she tossed and turned in bed until almost three o'clock before she fell asleep, and got up at six o'clock in the morning, she was already sleepy, just take advantage of the time to make up for sleep.
In a daze, she felt that someone was shaking her, and as soon as she raised her head, she heard the agent say: "Ah Qian, Chen Shao is here, you should get out of the house quickly." β
"Everyone has worked hard for more than a month, "I Have a Date with a Zombie" can achieve the current results all thanks to everyone's efforts, I hereby promise that when the play is finished, I will distribute red envelopes to everyone present, and today I came over and brought some soup by the way, which can be regarded as adding vegetables to everyone at night."
"Good ......"
"Xie Lu, Xie Chen."
ββ¦β¦β
Gu Chen pressed his hand, stopped everyone's cheers, and continued: "I heard the director just now that the scene will be completed in about half a month, I hope everyone can make persistent efforts in the remaining half a month to draw a perfect end to the filming of "I Have a Date with a Zombie". Well, that's all I have to say, so I won't delay everyone's work. "When he came, the crew was filming, and it was only temporarily stopped because of his arrival, and now the filming task is tense, so he naturally doesn't want to delay everyone's work too much.
After chatting with the director for a few words, Gu Chen asked the other party to be busy, and when he turned around and saw Zeng Haoqian walking towards him, he couldn't help but smile slightly: "Didn't disturb Miss Zeng to rest." β
Zeng Yuqian smiled embarrassedly and said, "Chen Shao said that he was funny, he didn't sleep well last night, so he took advantage of his free time to catch up on sleep." β
Gu Chen nodded and said: "The filming of this drama is indeed a little tight, and when the filming is over, I will let the company give you a few days off." β
"Then I'll thank you first."
At this time, a staff member led a person over, and when he saw that person, Zeng Yuqian was stunned for a moment, and then his face immediately became a little unnatural, but Gu Chen showed a smile on his face, and said first: "I didn't expect to meet the five tiger generals of wireless here, hello." β
Compared with the 'unexpected' in Gu Chen's words, Liang Chaowei obviously didn't expect to meet Gu Chen, so he hurriedly shook hands with Gu Chen and said, "How dare I call myself a Five Tiger General in front of Chen Shao. Although he doesn't like to socialize, he has to force a smile at this time.
Gu Chen smiled noncommittally and said, "You should have come to find Miss Zeng, I won't bother you." After speaking, he nodded to Zeng Haoqian, then turned around and walked towards Wei, he came to the crew today just by the way, just sent little Barbara and little Jenner to board the flight back to the United States at noon, and when he returned from the airport, he thought that he hadn't been to the crew for a while, so he stopped by to have a look.
Just after walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, turned back to Liang Chaowei and said, "I wonder if Mr. Liang will have time to have a coffee together?" β
Liang Chaowei didn't know what Gu Chen was looking for, but he couldn't refuse in person, so he had to nod a little hesitantly.
Seeing this, Gu Chen said, "Okay, I'll see you at the Rand Cafe in an hour." β
It wasn't until Gu Chen's back disappeared from sight that Liang Chaowei withdrew his gaze and looked at Zeng Haoqian, who had been silent: "Do you have time?" Let's find a quiet place to talk. β
Zeng Yuqian didn't speak, glanced at Liang Chaowei, and walked towards a corner of the set first.
