Chapter 42: The Memorial Service

The two had just finished breakfast at the small round table in the courtyard when they received a call from Zhou Kezhi, telling him to wait for him on the auxiliary road of the Third Ring Road for half an hour.

"Brother Tong, I'll have breakfast today, and you'll clean up these things." Zhou Cheng was accustomed to his father's commanding notice, so he didn't get angry, but asked Gu Xintong to dispose of the leftovers between the two.

Gu Xintong muttered dissatisfiedly: "Cut, the two of you are only ten yuan, and you are embarrassed to say that you have a treat." ”

"Otherwise, tomorrow you please, I'll clean it up."

"No, that's fine." Zhou Cheng's proposal was not approved by Gu Xintong, and she quickly cleaned up all the leftover garbage: "Brother Cheng, let's keep the status quo and continue tomorrow, I can clean up every day, nothing else." ”

Zhou Cheng smiled and shook his head, Gu Xintong's smooth personality is definitely suitable for being an agent, and he will definitely be able to succeed in this industry in the future.

Zhou Cheng returned to the room and changed into a solemn dark dress. After Gu Xintong saw it, he also understood that the other party should be going to participate in the white affair, so instead of laughing, he waved his hand at him, returned to his room, and prepared to pack up his things and go to work.

There is no concept of weekends in the entertainment industry, this is a sentence that Gu Xintong took one of her eldest sisters to explain to her on the first day of employment.

Zhou Cheng rushed to the West Third Ring Road, and within a few minutes, Zhou Kezhi's vehicle arrived. Zhao Chenan did not follow today, the vehicle is Zhou Kezhi's bus, and the driver who is also the driver assigned to him by the unit, Zhou Cheng is not very familiar, it seems that Zhou Kezhi is condoling to Mr. Hou on behalf of the Propaganda Department today.

The death of Mr. Hou is a major event in the literary and artistic world during this time, and Zhou Cheng grew up listening to Mr. Hou's works since he was a child, but he did not associate himself with this incident. Mr. Hou belongs to the seniors in the quyi industry, and all his best friends and teachers are mostly people in the quyi industry. Zhou Cheng in the other world only regretted that there was another master in the music industry in China after knowing about it, and then mourned in his heart like an ordinary fan. I didn't expect that in this world, I would follow my father to attend this memorial service.

"Dad, haven't you been resting well lately? I feel like my hair is a lot grayer. After Zhou Cheng got into the car, he did not sit in the back with Zhou Kezhi, but sat in the co-pilot, acting as a secretary.

"It's a bit of insomnia, probably because the weather has been too hot lately." Zhou Kezhi touched his sideburns, and he was very pleased with his son's concern.

Since the last time he heard Zhou Cheng's reminder, Zhou Kezhi has recently been investigating certain educational institutions and social groups visiting Japan, which may be to surprise the snake or touch the interests of some people, Zhou Kezhi feels pressure from all sides, which makes him a little haggard.

"It's hot, so find a cooler place to hide." Zhou Cheng also learned some insider information through Zhao Chen'an, and he could guess the roughly. Since my father has encountered great resistance, it is better to persuade him to take a detour: "Didn't you often teach me in the past that rigidity is easy to break, soft and easy to bend, and it is better to seek in the song than to take it in the straight." ”

"Hehe, I'm here to teach you."

"I'm just worried that when you're hot, you'll heat my mom too."

Zhou Kezhi heard the meaning of Zhou Cheng's words, and also understood that he was persuading himself to find some foreign aid in a different way, and not to be too radical so as not to hurt his family, and these words should have been hinted at by Zhou Cheng when he saw that he had changed drivers. This made Zhou Kezhi a little moved, and at the same time a little surprised.

When did Zhou Cheng become so politically sensitive? Could it really be that I was negligent before?

Thinking of this, Zhou Kezhi once again put forward his thoughts: "Xiaocheng, don't do your little broken company, go and take the civil service exam." When the time comes, you can also let Chen An take care of you. ”

"Don't mind, I'm doing a good job with this company. Don't look inconspicuous now, this time next year, it should impress you. ”

"Hehe, yes. Then I'll just wait and see. Hearing Zhou Cheng's words, Zhou Kezhi couldn't help laughing, this should be the first time in the past few years that he is full of confidence in Zhou Cheng's career.

The memorial service started at 9 o'clock, and Zhou Kezhi's vehicle rushed to Babaoshan Cemetery at 8:40. In terms of Mr. Hou's family background and status in the literary and artistic circles, there will be many people who come to mourn at this memorial service. Relatives and friends, government and association officials, colleagues in the literary and artistic circles and opera circles, stars in the film and television industry, plus some spontaneous fans and reporters have surrounded the Babaoshan Cemetery.

In order not to affect the normal order, the funeral committee also specially organized some personnel to notify the relatives and friends who came to participate in the chase at various intersections, and tried to streamline the entourage, the memorial service is not a social place, please leave as soon as possible after attending the memorial service, please do not linger, etc......

Under the command of the staff, Zhou Kezhi's vehicle smoothly squeezed through the traffic into the already somewhat crowded parking lot. Two staff members of the District Civil Affairs Bureau, who were in charge of coordinating the order, immediately ran over.

"Minister Zhou, your car can be parked in the special parking space of our Civil Affairs Bureau, just behind Hall 1."

"No need, there are a lot of artists here today, you can guide them well, it's hot today, do a good job of pacifying them, and try to make it as convenient as possible."

Zhou Kezhi's refusal was admired by the two staff members, who hurriedly stepped forward to help open the door and guide the way.

On behalf of the Yanjing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, Zhou Kezhi, the government official present today, expressed his condolences to Mr. Hou's family.

Zhou Cheng followed behind his father, without saying a word, and completed the entire condolence process with a solemn expression.

When condolences to the family, Mr. Hou's second brother expressed his gratitude to Zhou Kezhi on behalf of the family, but Zhou Cheng shook hands with the little black fat man next to him.

Zhou Cheng followed his father out of the memorial venue, and saw many celebrities in the circle who came to mourn, although these people and Zhou Kezhi only nodded in greeting, but when they saw Zhou Cheng following behind, they still left some thoughts.

In addition, Zhou Cheng was very surprised that he actually saw last night's bed partner, Li Jiaqi, who should still be resting in the hotel at this time, she was following behind Li Xiaowan, the boss of Rong Zhixin Company, and slowly walked to the memorial service site.

Li Jiaqi, who was also dressed in a dark skirt and had a solemn expression, saw Zhou Cheng, and a smile flashed in her eyes that she had succeeded in her prank. When no one was paying attention, he naughtily stretched out his tongue at Zhou Cheng, licked it on his dark red lips, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of charm.

Li Jiaqi also got up very early today.

She was also called up by Zeng Jing at six o'clock, and changed into this body and followed Li Xiaowan to attend the memorial service.

As a veteran film and television company in Yanjing, Rong Zhixin has cultivated many celebrities. Chen Kun and Zhou Xun were all brought out by Li Shaohong and Li Xiaowan.

Even though the company has been going downhill now, the resources in the hands of the two Mr. Li are still beyond the reach of other new film and television companies. This is also the reason why Li Jiaqi signed a contract with Rong Zhixin before she graduated, because here she can get a shortcut to success.

The situation is as she expected, she has won good roles in three film and television dramas, and even through her outstanding performance in the drama "Struggle", she has made herself famous and invited.

However, the company seems to have some lack of stamina, and what can help them get is only an important female partner.

Take the play "Who Calls the Shots of My Youth" that she is taking on now.

Originally, Director Zhao promised to let Li Jiaqi carry the beam and serve as the female number one after the fire of "Struggle". However, when she actually got the script, she changed from the first female to the second female. Originally, her eldest cousin was not as good as her in the three sisters, but her role was increased to more than her, a proper female number one.

After she learned about the situation with the company, she learned that because the boyfriend of the actor in the role of the eldest sister is the CEO of a cultural company, the other party added an additional investment of 5 million in this play, which is to ask for his girlfriend's role to be aggravated. And Director Zhao, who swore to Li Jiaqi to guarantee the role, really arranged for the screenwriter to change the script and adjust the original second female to the first female.

This incident made Li Jiaqi, who has been smooth sailing since she went to school, realize the power of capital for the first time; also realized that if you want to get ahead in the entertainment industry, you must have a solid backstage; At the same time, he realized the fact that Rong Zhixin's voice in this circle is getting weaker and weaker.

It's just that Li Jiaqi has no idea of leaving Rong Zhixin at present, because she understands that the company has been preparing for several years of new projects and is preparing to put the classic "Dream of Red Mansions" on the screen again. Although she is not very optimistic about the project, she still needs to get some benefits from the project before leaving.

After all, there are not many artists who Rong Zhixin can get his hands on now, except for Li Jiaqi, there is only the school sister Yan Mi who is hotter than herself, Li Jiaqi believes that she will definitely become Rong Zhixin's first sister, so that after leaving, she will also be valued by the new owner, so as to get more resources.

So last night, after Zhou Cheng left, Li Jiaqi called his agent Zeng Jing and asked about Mr. Hou's memorial service. Li Jiaqi learned through Zeng Jing that when Mr. Li of his company was ready to go to the memorial service by himself, he moved his mind. specially called Li Xiaowan to ask for this opportunity.

Now it seems that it is not bad, I really saw Zhou Cheng at the memorial service, although he didn't say hello to himself, Li Jiaqi still found an opportunity to talk to him.
