Chapter 31: I Only Sing the Songs You Write (Ask for Collection, Follow-up)
The next two days.
"True Colors of Heroes" not only continues to lead the films released in the same period at the box office.
The streets and alleys of Xiangjiang are also full of topics related to "The True Colors of Heroes".
"Little Pony" has become a new generation of idols of Xiangjiang youth.
The fifth day of the film's release.
"Famous Daily" published a news that the two H gangs were fighting, and as a result, both sides were wearing windbreakers, white scarves, and toothpicks in their mouths, and machetes to cut each other.
It is a street spectacle.
Windbreakers and sunglasses have become the most fashionable dress in Xiangjiang.
Even the boys in middle school held toothpicks in their mouths at every turn and yelled at the teacher: "I've been up for three years, three whole years, do you know how I got through these three years?" ”
Phenomena such as these have swept across the Xiangjiang River.
A subculture has been formed.
Walking casually on the street, among the ten trendy men I meet, at least five are wearing windbreakers, and five are wearing windbreakers and sunglasses!
It can be seen from this how popular "The True Colors of Heroes" has become in Xiangjiang.
With Luo Song in charge of the company's daily operations, Li Xingchen's usual work is much easier.
On this day, he went to Xinyibao Records to visit Zou Huimin.
Since Zou Huimin prepared to release Cantonese singles and Chinese albums, he hadn't seen her for five or six days.
Every day she rehearses until 11 or 2 p.m.
In order to avoid misfire, Li Xingchen had to control his thoughts about her and let his female secretary Selina be responsible for the morning and evening pick-up and drop-off.
If he goes to pick him up, there is a high probability that Zou Huimin will not be able to stick to the rehearsal the next day.
"Sing very well!"
After Zou Huimin came out of the recording studio, Li Xingchen stepped forward, handed her a rose, and whispered in her ear.
Zou Huimin gave him a blank look and did not speak.
Just lightly knocked off his dishonest right hand.
"Li Sheng!"
Zhang Guorong walked out of another recording studio and greeted him warmly.
Recently, he has been practicing day and night to prepare for the concert.
Being a superstar in the music world is not an easy task.
One minute on stage, ten years off stage.
"Recently, I have received a lot of letters from fans, and they all like my role as Song Zijie, and they also like the movie "The True Color of Heroes"."
Zhang Guorong also said hello to Zou Huimin, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Li Sheng." ”
Li Xingchen was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood.
Zhang Guorong has been at the top of the music scene for two years, but he has actually not had a good time.
In this era when singers like to act in movies, there is no masterpiece of movies, which is his biggest regret.
Now that he finally has "The True Color of Heroes", I think his ideological pressure will be reduced.
Li Xingchen smiled and did not speak.
"Last time you said you had a new movie, and you wanted to talk to me about it?"
Zhang Guorong is a grateful person, Li Xingchen gave him such a big gift, and he is willing to repay the favor.
"Leslie, let's have a cup of coffee?"
Shinyibo Records is not a good place to get down to business.
The trio found a café nearby.
Zhang Guorong asked the bodyguard and assistant to sit in the distance, and went to buy three cups of coffee himself, and brought them over on a plate.
"Li Sheng, this is your favorite black coffee, Vivian, I remember you like to drink cappuccino, right?"
Sure enough, it is Zhang Guorong, who is as careful as a hair, and the more you get in touch with him, the more you can feel his inner charm.
At all times, you can feel his heartfelt respect for others.
Such a person, if he doesn't become a superstar, is simply unreasonable.
"Thank you, Leslie, Vivian is already very troublesome to you, between us, there is really no need to be so polite!"
Li Xingchen hurriedly stood up and took the coffee.
"Simon, the movie you're going to ask Leslie to make can't be a small-budget production." Zou Huimin said with a smile.
Zhang Guorong waved his hand: "Li Sheng, no matter what kind of movie it is, as long as the schedule can be scheduled, I will accept it." ”
"I am writing the script, and it will be completed in a few days," Li Xingchen explained, "The estimated investment is about 6 million, which is higher than 'The True Color of Heroes'." ”
"No problem, I'll ask Sister Fen to come over tomorrow to sign the contract."
Zhang Guorong didn't even ask about the script, so he agreed.
"Leslie, don't you think about it?" Li Xingchen was surprised by the other party's cheerfulness, "You haven't read the script, what if it's not your favorite role?" ”
"This is what I owe you, Li Sheng!" Zhang Guorong laughed, "I don't like to owe favors, as long as I can pay it back, I will pay it back immediately." ”
"Simon, you can't fool Leslie, a good guy."
Zou Huimin, who was leaning on Li Xingchen's shoulder, stuck out her tongue and said playfully.
With her boyfriend on one side and her brother on the other, she doesn't want either party to suffer.
Besides, all Xiangjiang knows that the female stars who cooperate with Leslie Cheung will not have scandals, whether active or passive.
Because, no one will believe it!
"Before you marry me, your arm turned out," Li Xingchen scratched her nose and smiled dotingly, "Don't worry, I won't cheat your senior brother." ”
"This movie is called "A Chinese Ghost Story", and it is a costume film......"
When Zhang Guorong heard that it was a costume film, he showed a surprised expression on his face: "Li Sheng, ten years ago, I made a costume movie, but my costume appearance is not very outstanding. ”
In the Xiangjiang movies of the 70s, the costumes were generally chivalrous and needed to be heroic.
But Zhang Guorong's ancient costume looks like a weak scholar at first glance.
The kind that has no power to restrain the chicken, can't act in costume martial arts films.
"Actually, this costume film is a love story, more than 20 years ago, director Li Hanxiang made a movie of the same name," Li Xingchen briefly introduced the story of "A Chinese Ghost Story", and said with a smile, "Nowadays, there are few movies that show the romantic feelings between men and women, and I want to use this movie to break the ice." ”
At that time, the content of the film was popular in kung fu and comedy, and there were not many expressions of romantic emotions between men and women.
There is no one that is very famous.
"But ......"
Zhang Guorong is still very worried about his ancient costumes.
"Leslie, what do you think of Zhang Shuoping's image design skills?" Li Xingchen hurriedly interrupted him.
"Very good!"
Zhang Guorong told the truth, Zhang Shuoping's performance in "The True Color of Heroes" is indeed worthy of his title of the first beauty finger and the first clothing design in Hong Kong.
"Do you remember his chubby apprentice with glasses?"
"Xi Chinese?"
"Yes, he has actually been out of school a long time ago, and he has also acted as the beauty finger of many movies, and he has also given us a lot of good ideas in the cooperation of "The True Color of Heroes".
Li Xingchen said with a smile, "He is very good at ancient costumes, I decided to invite the two of them to create an image for you together!" ”
Zhang Shuoping and Xi Chinese are currently the top two American fingers and clothing designers in Xiangjiang.
Zhang Guorong thought about it and gritted his teeth: "Okay, then I'll try, if you don't look good, Li Sheng, I hope you still find another suitable actor." ”
"Believe me, this movie is more suitable for you than "Heroes"!"
After making an appointment with Leslie Cheung to sign the contract, Li Xingchen left the café with Zou Huimin.
"Where are we going?"
Zou Huimin had just gotten into the Mercedes-Benz and asked shyly.
In fact, she already knew it in her heart.
After all, the two hadn't seen each other for several days, and it was his female secretary who was in charge of picking her up.
"Of course, go back to the apartment to rest!"
Li Xingchen smiled, "Give yourself a holiday today!" ”
"You bad guy!"
Zou Huimin lowered her head shyly.
When he arrived at the apartment, Li Xingchen put the bath water, and then the two of them (1,000 words).
"I asked Luo Song to go to see the villa," after Yu Wen, Li Xingchen hugged Zou Huimin from behind, sat in the bathtub, and said gently, "After your album is completed, I will propose to your mother, well, what is Xiangjiang's marriage process like?" ”
Zou Huimin slapped him gently: "Who is going to marry you?" ”
After a while, she said: "I don't need to care about those processes, as long as it's you, I don't need anything, I don't want a villa, it's good to live in this apartment." ”
Li Xingchen smiled, didn't speak, but kissed the back of her neck, looked at her, and asked seriously: "Wei Wei'an, do you really want to be an independent woman and don't want to be a little wife at home?" ”
Zou Huimin was stunned for a moment before nodding: "Well, I want to have my own life, Simon, I love you, but in my life, I can't be the only you, just like in your life, it won't be just me." ”
"Well, then I'll make you a new generation of divas!"
Li Xingchen hugged her tightly in his arms, "In the future, I will write all your songs." ”
"Well, I only sing the songs you wrote."
Zou Huimin turned her head, kissed him on the lips, and hugged him tightly.
