As Gu Chen expected, although the first day of the release of "Truant Dragon" received rave reviews, the box office was not high, only more than 1.2 million, less than the 1.5 million of "Zombie Family" released by Golden Harvest on the same day, this result hit Zhou Xingchi, who was originally fantasizing that he would become a big star, but this situation did not last long, after the word of mouth of the moviegoers and media reports, the situation changed from the second day, and the box office first rose to 1.8 million all at once, and then 2.2 million, And then 2.3 million...... Until 2.8 million on the seventh day, and this situation is still continuing, the most discussed on the entertainment pages of various media is the nonsensical comedy of Zhou's who has just debuted, and Zhou Xingchi suddenly changed from a nobody to a big star.

There is no doubt that Zhou Xingchi has become a rising star in the Hong Kong film industry, and many of them immediately saw the business opportunities, in just a few days, a total of seven or eight film companies came to the door to find Zhou Xingchi to make movies, but under Gu Chen's instructions, Zeng Zhiwei refused.

As Zhou Xingchi's contracted company, Zeng Zhiwei has every right to do so. But Zhou Xingchi didn't think so, thinking that the company was worried that he was too popular to control, when he heard that the company had rejected a film company again, he couldn't help it, and brought up the courage to come to Zeng Zhiwei's office, but what he didn't expect, in addition to Zeng Zhiwei in the office, Gu Chen, who hadn't seen him for a few days, was also there, stunned, hurriedly said hello, and then sat on the sofa under Zeng Zhiwei's greeting.

"I heard the secretary say, you have something to do with me?" Zeng Zhiwei had an indifferent expression on his face, as if he didn't know what Zhou Xingchi was looking for him for.

Zhou Xingchi glanced at Gu Chen, and couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart, he can have his current fame entirely because of Gu Chen, otherwise he is still the nobody who hosts children's programs, and now he has just become famous and questioned the company's decision, and in front of Gu Chen, he was a little apprehensive and timid in his heart, but he didn't turn back when he opened the bow, he shook his teeth secretly, and said cautiously: "That's the case, I heard that many film companies want to ask me to film recently, but ...... But they were all rejected by the company. ”

Zeng Zhiwei looked at Gu Chen without a trace, and the expression on his face seemed to be saying that it was really this matter, but when he faced Zhou Xingchi, his face was gloomy, and he said expressionlessly: "Yes, is this matter, are you questioning the company's decision?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhou Xingchi suddenly panicked, if Zeng Zhiwei hid him in a fit of anger, then he would be instantly beaten back to his original form: "No...... No...... No, I ......" He said no, but I couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

"Ahem......" A cough helped Zhou Xingchi relieve the siege, and Gu Chen, who had not spoken, spoke at this time: "Okay Xingzai, you don't have to explain why you came here today, the reason why the company will reject those film companies is what I mean, and the purpose is also for your good." ”

"I can understand your feelings, but to be a star, especially a star like you who has just become famous, you must have a bottom line in choosing scripts, you must know how to cherish your feathers, you can't take any film, too many bad movies will not only not improve your fame, but will damage your fame."

"These film companies see that you are famous, and they all want to make a lot of money with you, but "Truant Dragon" has only been released for two weeks, how many levels of scripts can they take out in a hurry, if you take over the movie here, you can indeed get a fortune that you couldn't think of before, but your star journey ends here, no audience will like an actor who often makes bad movies."

Gu Chen's words were really like an empowerment for Zhou Xingchi, understanding that he was too eager for quick success, so he hurriedly got up and bowed deeply to Gu Chen, and said gratefully: "Thank you Chen Shao for your care, it's Xingzi who is not sensible, and please don't blame Chen Shao and Zeng Zong." ”

Gu Chen nodded and said, "It's good if you understand, if you don't have anything else, you can go out first, and think about your acting skills when you are free." ”

Zhou Xingchi bowed again and said, "Yes, I won't let Chen Shao disappoint you, then I will go out first." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the office, and when he saw the door of the office concerned again, Zeng Zhiwei snorted coldly and said: "This kid's burden is really not small, just a little famous began to disobey the company's arrangement, and when he became famous, his eyes didn't grow to the sky." ”

At this time, Gu Chen, who had nothing unusual in his expression before, also frowned, this Zhou Xingchi is really a little too self-righteous and has no one in his eyes, as Zeng Zhiwei said, just a little famous will not obey the company's arrangement, and when he is famous, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to control, he can't help but remember that in his previous life, Zhou Xingchi's reputation in the circle was not good, he acted arrogantly and domineering, was strict and mean to his subordinates, and had a strong desire to control.

Zeng Zhiwei saw the displeasure on Gu Chen's face, and asked tentatively: "Do you want to temporarily suppress the filming plan of "Jiupin Sesame Official" first?" ”

Gu Chen hesitated, shook his head and said: "On the day of the premiere, I promised Xiang Huaqiang to cooperate with Yongsheng again, and now I don't want to suddenly regret it, the filming plan will be carried out as usual, and the starring roles will still use Zhou Xingchi and Zhang Meng, as for the rest, he will not be able to turn the sky over." ”

"By the way, there is an artist named Wu Zhenyu in wireless, and he is not famous yet, but I think this person has a lot of potential, you can find someone to contact him, if he wants, you can sign him to the company and let him play Chang Wei in this film."

Wu Zhenyu is a famous and powerful actor in Hong Kong in his previous life, whether it is a positive character, or a villain, or even a comedy, he can perform excellently, and he has won the Taiwan Golden Horse actor. As for Wu Zhenyu, will he offend Shao Yifu if he becomes famous in the future? Not at all in his consideration.

You must know that more than half of Hong Kong's famous stars in the 80s and 90s came from TVB, and if he was worried about offending Shao Yifu, then he didn't have to do anything. Of course, he can also cooperate with wireless through normal channels, but he has the status of a major shareholder of ATV, not to mention whether wireless will easily cooperate with him, which can be seen from the fact that since he became the executive vice chairman of the board of directors of ATV, Shao Yifu has not called him to invite him to have afternoon tea together, and he does not have the noble sentiment of planting trees for others to enjoy the shade.

Gu Chen said so, Zeng Zhiwei didn't say much, nodded and said, "I'll let someone handle this matter tomorrow, if it's really like you said, it shouldn't be a problem." Then he talked about another thing: "Jackie Chan's schedule has been arranged, the preliminary work of filming has been prepared, "Double Dragon Club" can start filming at any time, and now the heroine is not determined." ”

Hearing Zeng Zhiwei mention this, Gu Chen immediately remembered a phone call he received a few days ago on an afternoon, the call was from Li Zhi, saying that he wanted to invite him to dinner, but he declined politely, on the grounds that there was another date in the evening, "Has Li Zhi come to the company during this time?" ”

"Yes, I've been here several times, and I only came here again yesterday, all to ask if there is a suitable role for her, but ...... Hehe......" Zeng Zhiwei smiled a little obscenely: "Without your permission, I naturally wouldn't tell her that "Double Dragon Club" would have been set to be the heroine a long time ago." ”

He knew the reason why Gu Chen did this, but it was just that Gu Chen's face was not easy to say.

Gu Chen said angrily: "I said that you don't have to laugh so obscenely, is it that you get along with Wang Fatzi a lot and are infected by him." Also, don't use your dirty mind to figure out what other people think, the reason why I don't want to tell her is just because I don't want to affect her to fulfill her obligations as a sister. ”

Zeng Zhiwei's face became even more obscene, and he nodded again and again: "I understand, I understand, you are doing this for her own good, I think she will be grateful to you." ”

Zeng Zhiwei clearly had something to say, how could Gu Chen not hear it, and he didn't continue to explain weakly, rolled his eyes and said, "You can call her later to talk about the script, you shouldn't need me to teach you how to do it." I'll go first. ”
