Chapter 306: Teasing Zhou Xingchi
"Master Xing, long time no see!"
As soon as they got off the plane, Menjie and Yang Mi found that they were not far away, and Zhou Xingchi was waiting for them, and hurriedly greeted them, with a smile on their faces.
The last time Menjie and Zhou Xingchi met, it was when "Kung Fu" was released, and Menjie and Yang Mi came to Xiangjiang together for the premiere promotion, and they really haven't seen each other for a while.
And last time, because the movie was about to be released, at the time of pick-up, Menjie didn't see Zhou Xingchi, and he didn't even chat with Zhou Xingchi much after that.
After all, Zhou Xingchi at that time was full of the situation of his movie "Kung Fu", and he didn't have much leisure to chat with Menjie.
But now......
With the movie "Kung Fu" has achieved a lot of success, with a box office of 160 million, it has become the most popular Chinese movie in 2004, which has calmed Zhou Xingchi's worried heart, and not long ago, after receiving the notice of nomination for the Xiangjiang Film Awards, the mood was extremely happy.
You must know that at each session of the Hong Kong Film Awards, the films that can receive more than 10 nominations at one time can already be called the 'hottest crew of the annual awards ceremony of the Hong Kong Film Awards'!
And this time at the Hong Kong Film Awards, the movies "2046" and "Mong Kok Night" have won more than ten nominations at the same time, which is already a very incredible thing, but after that, ......
The movie "Kung Fu", directed and acted by Stephen Chow, won 16 nominations in one fell swoop, and Stephen Chow himself was nominated for all the most important film awards, which can be said to be both at the box office and word of mouth. Or in the awards, they have achieved indescribable success.
The most successful filmmaker in 2004 put this name on Zhou Xingchi's body, which is definitely not an exaggeration!
Although he has billions of assets by virtue of his success in the business circle, he is not very keen on the wealth brought to him by the success of "Kung Fu", but it is indeed a very happy thing to be able to have such an aura, even Zhou Xingchi is no exception!
In a good mood. Zhou Xingchi naturally behaved extremely friendly, and even when Menjie and Yang Mi were about to arrive, they were already waiting for them in the VIP waiting room of the airport.
"It's pretty early!"
Seeing the arrival of Menjie and the others, Zhou Xingchi showed a faint smile on his face without a trace, and walked towards the two.
Know the way. Zhou Xingchi in life is not as funny as in the movie. Most of the time there is still some serious feeling. can get Zhou Xingchi's smile, either in front of the camera, or he has really been regarded as a friend by Zhou Xingchi.
The unsociable Yang Mi naturally can't enjoy such treatment, but for Menjie, this is not a strange thing. After all, it is called the number one by the media as the 'affinity halo', not in vain!
"Master Xing, why did you come to pick up the airport in person?"
With a smile on his face, Menjie also knew it. Being able to be picked up by Zhou Xingchi in person was a very long-faced thing, and he hurriedly trotted over.
After all, the other party is a senior and predator in the entertainment industry, and Menjie, who has only debuted for one year and can only be regarded as a top first-line star in terms of popularity, really can't be too arrogant and humble, which is always an important virtue when treating his predecessors.
"I'll come over if I'm idle!"
chuckled, and Zhou Xingchi's gaze at Menjie was also full of satisfaction, "What's more, as the hero of our "Kung Fu" crew, and the hero who won two nominations for the 'Xiangjiang Film Awards' at once, why should I stutter?!" ”
"Master Xing, you can kill me if you say that, I can get these two nominations, isn't it still Master Xing who gave me this opportunity!"
With a wry smile, Menjie couldn't stand such a heavy praise, so he hurriedly said helplessly.
In Menjie's view, although he fully showed a 'majestic temperament' when he played "Kung Fu", which added a lot to the role of Da Gangchen , but he was able to win the nomination for Best Newcomer and Best Supporting Actor at the 24th Xiangjiang Film Awards with his C-level acting skills, and it was the role of Da Gangchen who made himself.
For his predecessors who have achieved himself and helped him, Menjie is full of gratitude, and when facing Zhou Xingchi, his heart is naturally full of respect.
"The main thing is that you play well, if you change someone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to play this role well!"
With a wave of his hand, Zhou Xingchi didn't seem to want to make too many disputes over 'whose credit is it', and directly let the two of them get into his car, a Mercedes-Benz that Menjie couldn't recognize, looked very luxurious.
"Xing Ye's car, I'm afraid it's more than I earned in two or three years of hard work, right?!"
Sitting in Zhou Xingchi's car, Menjie looked at the luxurious layout in the car with a wry smile and the spacious interior environment, and said helplessly.
It's really more popular than people, Menjie worked hard for a year to earn more than 3 million, but Stephen Chow's car ......
In Menjie's opinion, at least, it also takes seven or eight million soft girl coins, or even higher!
Although he was very envious in his heart, Menjie was not discouraged.
Menjie believes that as long as he starts filming "Wulin Gaiden" and officially releases it, he believes that it will not take long to achieve unparalleled success.
When the time comes, Menjie will also be able to enjoy the feeling of being rich!
Now......
It's better to be an 'debtor' honestly!
"Work hard, you can't afford this kind of car without much need!"
Obviously, in the eyes of Zhou Xingchi, Menjie's potential is very huge, and in more than a year since his debut, he has reached the pinnacle of first-line stars from a newcomer, I am afraid that it will not take two years for Menjie to be able to rank among the top stars, and it will take another year or two to win the title of actor!
At that time, Menjie was probably only twenty-four or five years old, and compared to Zhou Xingchi of the same age, he could be regarded as an extremely successful existence!
"Hopefully!"
Nodding, Menjie responded, and a faint smile appeared on his face, although the voice was very soft, but it contained unparalleled self-confidence, Menjie also believed that even with the wealth earned in the entertainment industry, it would not take long for Menjie to accumulate huge wealth and achieve great success.
"By the way, I haven't thanked you for contributing the song "Tick" to "Kung Fu"!"
Chatting and chatting, something suddenly came to mind, Zhou Xingchi said to Menjie, "If it weren't for the song "Tick" you contributed, I'm afraid I would have to insert a song that I am not very satisfied with, although it has little impact on the film, but it is difficult to express what I want to express, thanks to you!" ”
"It's nothing, after all, I'm also a member of the crew of "Kung Fu", and it is natural for me to contribute some strength to the movie!"
Menjie smiled and said, "And I also took a big advantage, with the movie "Kung Fu", it can be regarded as the song "Tick" in my second solo album, strictly speaking, more fans know my song "Tick" through "Kung Fu"! ”
"Moreover, my second solo album "In My Singing", there are also many people who are aiming for the song "Tick", if Xing Ye did not choose "Tick" as the song in "Kung Fu", my new album may be difficult to get the current results!"
Up to now, the sales volume of Menjie's second solo album "In My Singing" has broken through the threshold of 2 million in the industry competition, although it seems that the sales have gradually shown a state of stagnation recently, and it may be difficult to climb to the total sales of 2.5 million, but the sales of 2 million are also very terrifying.
And among the 2 million sales, although there is a slight reason for it, it is due to the help of the movie "Kung Fu", but at best, it is an album of more than 100,000 copies, whether it is due to the promotion of the movie "Kung Fu", or more, or because of other aspects, it has nothing to do with the movie "Kung Fu".
But even so, in front of Zhou Xingchi, Menjie should still try his best to pick up some good things to say.
"The good sales of your album are completely a manifestation of your own strength, the quality of the album itself is high enough to be able to achieve such results, it has little to do with the promotion of "Kung Fu", one yard is one yard, you can contribute "Tick" as a song of the movie "Kung Fu" without hesitation, I still want to thank you!"
"Master Xing, it's a matter of saying this!"
Menjie grinned, his words were full of ridicule, and said softly, "If you feel really embarrassed, Master Xing, when you have your next movie, you can ask me to come over and shoot it again!" ”
While speaking, Menjie deliberately made a fanciful expression and said softly, "I just played a supporting role in Xing Ye's movie "Kung Fu" some time ago, and I gained so many fans, if Xing Ye's next movie can make me the number one supporting actor, I'm afraid it won't take me long to become a top star, right?!" ”
After speaking, Menjie had a smile on his face, although he knew in his heart that when Zhou Xingchi was casting, he didn't think about human feelings and relationships at all, and completely considered it from the aspect of the movie, but Menjie still teased Zhou Xingchi.
"Since Xing Ye wants to thank me, wouldn't it be better to invite me and give me a role with more scenes when the next movie comes?!" (To be continued.) )
