Chapter 169: Jealousy
Zhou Xingchi became famous in one fell swoop for "Truant Dragon" and became a new comedy star in the Hong Kong film industry, which attracted wide attention from the media before the release of "Jiupin Sesame Official", and immediately attracted a large number of audiences when it was officially released.
The box office reached 2.85 million on the first day, which can be described as a good start, and the box office on the second day hit another good result, and by the third day, the single-day box office had exceeded 3 million. Such an achievement, whether it is Tang Dynasty Films and Yongsheng Films as investors, or movie starring Zhou Xingchi and others should be happy, and it is true, Xiang Huaqiang was planning a celebration party after the box office results came out on the first day.
But on the fourth day of the movie's release, something unexpected happened to everyone -
In the morning, the sun shined into the room through the glass, and the little Barbara on the bed rubbed her eyes with her little hands, opened her sleepy eyes, and then saw her sit up and stretch her waist, suddenly her eyes lit up, and she quickly turned over the quilt, got up and picked up the red stockings that were hung at the end of the bed before going to bed last night.
After a while, a peach-colored red box about ten centimeters wide and about twenty centimeters wide appeared in her hand, she slowly opened the lid of the box, and suddenly a beautiful music came into her ears, this is a music box, the bottom of the lid is a mirror, the middle of the box is also a small mirror, there is a groove on both sides of the small mirror, and there is a glass man dancing in the form of a ballet and two glass swans in it, she picked up the glass man and put it on the small mirror in the middle, and the glass man immediately rotated with the music.
When one piece of music was over and another music played, she put the glass man back into the groove, picked up the two glass swans in the other groove and placed them on the mirror, watching the two lifelike swans spin on the mirror with the music, her eyes were full of love.
At this time, the closed door was gently pushed open, Gu Chen appeared at the door, and saw little Barbara sitting on the bed playing with the music box, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and said: "Merry Christmas, do you like this gift, this gift is specially ordered for you, and it is unique in the world." ”
Today is Christmas, in order to prepare gifts for little Barbara and little Jenner, Gu Chen really spent a lot of brains, and finally found a jewelry store to order two things, one is the music box in the hand of little Barbara, the whole music box is made by hand, even the glass man and glass swan inside are hand-carved from the best natural crystal, which is quite expensive, and the other gift to little Jenner is a white gold small crown, which is inlaid with more than 100 diamonds, which is also worth a lot.
"I like it, Xie Lu, thank you for your care." Little Barbara said happily, and then saw her get up and wrap her arms around Gu Chen's neck, who had already walked to the bedside, and kissed Gu Chen heavily on the face: "This is my first kiss other than Daddy Mommy, thank you for the gift." ”
Gu Chen felt like he was going to faint, and a little kid who hadn't grown his teeth yet knew what a first kiss was: "Get up and have breakfast, Jenner has already gotten up." ”
Little Barbara nodded, and said with a serious expression: "Oh, then you should go out of the house quickly, Mommy said that girls are not allowed to change clothes and boys are not allowed to look." ”
The smile on Gu Chen's face instantly froze, and then he shook his head and smiled bitterly that the American child was really precocious, shrugged helplessly, and said, "Okay, I'll let Maria help you." He didn't think that little Barbara could get dressed alone, just like little Jenner, who got up a little earlier, and when he got out of the room, he asked the nanny who had come to Hong Kong with little Barbara and little Jenner to go in and help little Barbara get dressed.
……
Came to the restaurant first, and saw Xiao Jenner sitting on a chair, wearing a white princess dress and a small crown on his head, Gu Chen asked with a smile: "Jenner, are you going to play there today?" ”
Little Jenner's beautiful big eyes blinked a few times, as if he was thinking, and after a while he said, "I haven't thought about it yet, I'll ask my sister later." ”
Compared with little Barbara's lively and outgoing, little Jenner is obviously the kind of little girl who is quiet and well-behaved and doesn't have too many opinions, and most of the time she follows her sister. When I first met, Gu Chen was a little curious, because most of the female twins are quiet sisters and lively sisters.
He Chaoqiong, who was next to her, said: "There are several interesting places in Hong Kong, such as botanical gardens, amusement parks, and of course, we can also go to sea on a yacht to play......
Seeing He Chaoqiong and Xiao Jenner discussing where to go to play, Gu Chen picked up the newspaper on the side and opened it and read it, his brows furrowed as soon as he saw the second edition, the second edition is the entertainment version, the above report is naturally a matter of the entertainment industry, there is news and gossip, and the hot release of "Jiupin Sesame Official" occupies a lot of space, but this report of "Jiupin Sesame Official" really involves only one or two hundred words, which only accounts for less than one-tenth of the space, and the rest is a gossip about Zhou Xingchi.
Zhou Xingchi sought medical treatment late at night and was suspected of being beaten by several gangsters!! There are also photos of the man suspected of Zhou Xingchi entering and leaving the hospital, he hurriedly opened other newspapers, and found that there were similar reports in several newspapers, he was silent for a moment, picked up the big brother and dialed Zeng Zhiwei's phone, and it was connected as soon as it rang, and then Zeng Zhiwei's voice was a little hurried: "I was about to call you, you should have read today's newspaper, I can't tell you about this matter on the phone, you come to the company and talk about it." ”
Listening to Zeng Zhiwei's tone, what was reported in the newspaper seemed to be true, his brows suddenly wrinkled deeper, He Chaoqiong, who was sitting next to him, saw it, looked at the newspaper that was still spread out on the table, and after a while, his brows furrowed slightly, and then said: "If you have something, you can go and get busy, there is nothing important about the record company, I will accompany Barbara and Jenner out to play." ”
Gu Chen nodded, didn't speak, and after breakfast, he said to the two little girls: "Uncle has something to do in the company, you go out to play with Aunty and Grandma first, Uncle will go to you as soon as he is done, Uncle promises that it won't be long, how about it?" ”
Little Barbara immediately pouted unhappily when she heard this, but she still said very sensibly: "Okay, you have to talk about it." ”
……
As soon as Gu Chen walked into the office with his front foot, Zeng Zhiwei came with his back foot, and he didn't ink, and asked directly, "What's going on?" ”
Zeng Zhiwei immediately told what he had learned, as Gu Chen guessed, the newspaper reported that there was indeed something, just at 10 o'clock last night, Zhou Xingchi was beaten by several suspected underworld elements downstairs in his house, several underworld elements seemed to just want to teach him a lesson, and did not take a heavy hand, beat him and left, but despite this, he was still a little thin and weak, and it was difficult to even walk, so he had to call Wu Mengda to accompany him to the hospital for examination.
"As for why he will be beaten, I haven't asked Xingzai, but if I guess correctly, it should be because of Zhang Mian, as early as the filming of "Truant Weilong", I saw that there was some ** between Xingzi and Zhang Mian, and during the filming of "Jiupin Sesame Official", the two went further and directly developed into boyfriend and girlfriend, which is almost an open secret in the crew, but Zhang Mian dug into Huaqiang, if there is nothing between the two, it would be really strange, in this way, With Xiang Huaqiang's character, he naturally can't tolerate others robbing women with him. ”
"You mean that Xingzi was beaten by Xiang Huaqiang and found someone to do it?"
"It should be eight or nine and ten, so it's probably still on your face, otherwise it will never be as simple as just a beating."
Gu Chen was noncommittal, groaned and asked, "What do you think should be done with this matter now?" ”
"What else can I do, although Xingzai is a contracted actor of the company, but this is a personal matter, it is not good for the company to interfere too much, and after making two blockbuster movies in a row, Xingzai is a little too self-confident, Wang Jing mentioned to me several times that Xingzai is often late for no reason in the crew and plays big names, if it weren't for the script written by you, maybe he even wanted to change the script, just take this opportunity to teach him a lesson, save him more and more self-aggrandizement, and can't find his own position, which is also good for his future development."
Late? Playing big? Gu Chen's brows furrowed when he heard this, what he hated most was this kind of actor, to be honest, if it wasn't for Zhou Xingchi who was destined to become the king of comedy in Hong Kong, he really didn't want to praise him, there is a sentence called what, Dezhi is rampant, and he is talking about people like Zhou Xingchi.
"Has Xingzi taken the initiative to contact you since last night?"
"No, maybe he thinks he can handle it." Perhaps the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became, and after a pause, Zeng Zhiwei then said in a muffled voice: "He really regards himself as a character, he doesn't even have any rules, and he doesn't report such a big matter to the company." ”
Gu Chen nodded, made a decision in his heart, and said: "Just do as you say, you don't know anything in the past few days, let's take a look at the situation first, and then you will deny everything the media asks, but you have to keep an eye on the development of the situation, I don't want things to be too big." ”
