Chapter 164: Pick-up
Leung Ka-fai is a powerful actor in Hong Kong, which is recognized in the circle, as early as a few years ago, he won the Best Actor at the 3rd Hong Kong Film Awards for "Listening to Politics" directed by Li Hanxiang. However, it was also because of this movie that he was banned by the Taiwan authorities, you must know that Taiwan is a traditional overseas market for Hong Kong films, in order to ensure the box office of the movie, there are not many film companies in Hong Kong looking for him to film, or it should be said that there are very few, even if he occasionally accepts a film contract, the salary will be extremely low, which is not commensurate with his title of actor at all. When he was at his worst, he even went to the Causeway Bay area to make unlicensed small editions and sell leather accessories and other accessories on the street.
It can be said that the current Leung Jiahui is a very cost-effective actor, and as for Taiwan's banning order, it has gradually loosened in the past year, as long as it is not political, there should be no problem with the review. The most important thing is that Leung Ka-fai's image conforms to the setting of the male protagonist in the script, that is, he is neither handsome nor ugly, has a unique male charm, and has a certain comedy gene, so Leung Ka-fai plays the male protagonist Zeng Zhiwei fully agrees.
Needless to say, the choice of the heroine, no matter whether Zeng Zhiwei has an opinion in his heart or not, he must have no opinion, and directly ignore it without commenting.
But the most reluctant, Gu Chen's decision to let Liu Zhenwei direct this obviously unusual film made Zeng Zhiwei have to object: "Although I admit that Liu Zhenwei is very talented and has his own set of theories about movies, he has never directed any films before this, and he has no experience to talk about at all, don't you think your decision is a bit hasty, I think this film directed by Wang Jing should be a little safer." ”
Gu Chen shook his head slightly, and said: "It's not the first day you met Wang Jing, he is the best at, pee, and fart, and it is more difficult to really let him make some in-depth movies than to ascend to the sky." Besides, didn't I let you be the producer myself, you wouldn't be pretty-looking, would you? ”
Seeing that Zeng Zhiwei wanted to say more, Gu Chen directly interrupted: "Okay, this matter is decided." Then he opened the drawer of his desk, took out the remaining scripts from it and threw them in front of Zeng Zhiwei: "There are three more scripts here, enough for you to toss for a while." ”
Zeng Zhiwei picked up the script a little helplessly, the three scripts are called "The Judge of the Dead", "The East is Undefeated in the Proud Rivers and Lakes", "East Becomes West", just by looking at the name, you can know that at least two of the three scripts are costume dramas, as usual, he habitually turned the three scripts to the bottom: "The Judge of the Dead" director To Qifeng, starring Zhou Xingchi, Wu Mengda, the best comedy combination and Anita Mui.
Cheng Xiaodong, director of "Smiling Proud Jianghu: Undefeated in the East", starring Li Lianjie, Lin Qingxia, Guan Zhilin; "East Becomes West" director Wang Jing, starring Zhang Guorong, Liang Jiahui, Wu Zhenyu, Zhang Xueyou, Lin Qingxia, Guan Zhilin, Zhang Manyu. Also as always, in addition to the main characters, there are some minor characters that are available. After reading it, Zeng Zhiwei closed the script and said: "There should be no problem with the list of main creators of the three scripts, among them, "The Judge of the Dead" can start filming in the near future as long as Du Qifeng's schedule is fine. ”
Not to mention that the Tang Dynasty cinema chain controls two-thirds of Hong Kong's cinema resources, and how many film companies have to rely on Gu Chen for their jobs, let's just say that Tang Dynasty movies are also a golden signboard, I don't know how many directors and actors want to direct or star in Tang Dynasty movies, because this has become the fastest way for Hong Kong directors and actors to improve their popularity and salary, as long as you look at Wu Yusen, Zhou Xingchi, Wang Guxian and others, you will know that as long as Tang Dynasty movies are about to be released, there are many people who will come to the door by themselves.
At this time, Gu Chen raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and then said, "You can handle these things, I will leave first if I still have something to do." ”
After leaving the company, Gu Chen came directly to the airport, and as soon as the car stopped at the exit of the airport, he saw a large number of gathered fans, saying that the fans were because some of these young people were holding Zhou Comin's posters in their hands, some were holding various slogans, and there were many reporters.
Gu Chen looked at his watch again, the time was almost up, and Zhou Comin's plane back to Hong Kong should have landed. That's right, today is the day when Zhou Comin returns to Hong Kong from the promotional trip of the "First Dream" album, and as a rumored boyfriend, he naturally has to rush over to pick him up.
It may be that the two high-end BMW cars were parked on the side of the road too conspicuously, and after a while, a reporter immediately found out, and suddenly all the reporters gathered like cats that smelled fishy, but unfortunately Gu Chen was just waiting in the car and did not mean to get out of the car.
After waiting like this for about ten minutes, the fans who had gathered at the exit suddenly became commotion, and the reporters around the car immediately rushed towards the exit. Seeing this, Gu Chen ordered Ouyang Lan beside him, and then the latter got out of the car with the four bodyguards.
Gu Chen watched through the window glass as Ouyang Lan and the four bodyguards squeezed away the fans and reporters into the airport hall, and after a while, he saw Zhou Comin squeezing out with difficulty under the escort of a group of bodyguards (most of whom were bodyguards arranged by the company to go abroad together) and staff.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, but he saw Ni Zhen holding flowers in the place where there were two bodyguards on Zhou Comin's left side, but Zhou Comin didn't pay attention to him at this time, and followed Ouyang Lan straight to the BMW car parked on the side of the road, and when Zhou Comin was about to walk to the car, he opened the car door and got out of the car, smiled at Zhou Comin, and said: "I've been out of the car for so long, it's hard work, get in the car." ”
Before getting into the car, he looked back at Ni Zhen, who was holding the flowers that had been squeezed by the crowd, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his face: "Mr. Ni should have waited for a long time, do you want to give you a ride by the way." ”
Ni Zhen was blocking a bodyguard in front of him, and he couldn't get close at all, after listening to Gu Chen's words, his already unsightly face instantly became worse, and he glanced at Zhou Comin in the BMW again, snorted coldly and turned away, and the flowers in his hand were also thrown to the ground when he turned around.
Smiling at Ni Zhen's back, Gu Chen lowered his head and sat in the car, this kind of small role was really not worth mentioning to him. As Ouyang Lan sat in the passenger seat, the car started slowly, and a group of fans and reporters gradually left behind, and soon drove out of the airport. As for the staff members who went abroad with Zhou Yimin, they naturally had a vehicle sent by the company to greet them, so they didn't have to worry about Gu Chen.
Zhou Comin's eyes swept over Ouyang Lan, who was sitting in front, and said with some hesitation: "There are so many fans and reporters today, isn't it a little bad for you to pick me up." ”
Since the album release, she has deliberately avoided Gu Chen, not because of what He Chaoqiong said, but because she felt like a thief who was stealing other people's things, and this person also included her best friend, originally she thought she had the courage to face it, but as the relationship with Gu Chen got closer and closer, the uneasiness in her heart became deeper and deeper, and the most reluctance made her retreat.
Gu Chen held Zhou Comin's hand, and the other party wanted to retract it, but he immediately tightened it hard, then looked at Zhou Comin with both eyes, and said softly: "I know what you are thinking, don't worry, everything is with me." He didn't tell Zhou Comin in advance when he came to pick up the airport today, it was a sudden attack, even because Zhou Comin was inconvenient to contact abroad, and he also expected that if Zhou Comin knew that he was going to pick up the airport, he would probably refuse.
"But ......"
"Don't." Gu Chen thought about Zhou Comin's words and said, "I'll go to dinner with you first, and then you go home and rest for a few days, you must be tired when you go abroad this time, you see that your face has lost weight." As he spoke, he gently stroked Zhou Min's cheek with his hand, and immediately made the latter blush, twisted his face to the side, and said softly: "I was like this." ”
The smile on Gu Chen's face became stronger, and he said the name of a restaurant to the driver, but he stopped talking, thinking about how to take down the beautiful lady next to him as soon as possible.
The reason why Zhou Comin ignored Ni Zhen just now is probably just because there are too many people around, if the two of them are alone, the bundle of words in Ni Zhen's hand Zhou Comin is estimated to have taken it a long time ago, so having Ni Zhen, a big-eyed wolf by his side, is always a threat to Gu Chen. And if you want to put an end to this threat, the only and best way is to let Zhou Comin take the initiative to stop thinking about anything else.
The place of the meal was chosen in a French restaurant, and as soon as Gu Chen and Zhou Comin got out of the car, they saw several reporters also getting out of the car behind, apparently following here from the airport. Gu Chen directly ignored this, if he was afraid of being photographed, he would not go to the airport to pick up the plane in person, if he wanted Zhou Comin to obediently obey his arrangement, he first had to make a clear gesture, at least not timid, otherwise it would only make Zhou Comin, who was already guilty and uneasy, even more unconfident and uncertain.
"Ignore them." Gu Chen took Zhou Comin's hand and walked into the restaurant, and walked to the innermost corner under the leadership of the restaurant waiter, and the accompanying bodyguards immediately blocked this corner and the two tables next to it, blocking the reporters who wanted to get closer.
It seems that under the influence of Gu Chen, Zhou Comin was in a much better mood at this time than just now, took the menu handed over by Gu Chen and ordered a few things he liked to eat, then glanced at the reporter not far away, and said, "They are estimated to be scribbling in the newspaper tomorrow." ”
