Chapter 169: Uncle Da
"Knock knock."
Early in the morning, there was a knock on Qin Muchu's door.
"Here we are."
With a shout, Qin Muchu walked out of the bedroom and opened the door.
There was Zhang Min standing outside the door with a smile on her face, she waved her hand,
"Good morning."
"Good morning."
Qin Muchu replied, letting go of his body,
"Come in."
The two walked to the living room, the living room was very large, Qin Muchu had just cleaned up and moved the tables and chairs to the side, vacating a space.
Zhang Min himself stood on the vacant field, didn't speak, and let Qin Muchu's gaze sweep over his body.
She's here to audition today.
Qin Muchu said last night that there was a role that might suit her, so let her try it today.
Although Zhang Min didn't know what the role was, because Qin Muchu didn't send her the script, Qin Muchu said that it was the heroine of a big series production, and Zhang Min naturally wouldn't let it go.
Qin Muchu's gaze moved away from Zhang Min's face and shifted to his body.
Not a pervert.
It's a comparison with the image of Shirley Young.
Zhang Min is wearing sportswear today, full of vitality.
Her back is straight and she looks very straight.
Just looking at the appearance, playing Shirley Yang is completely in line with the image.
"Can you shoot action scenes?" Qin Muchu asked.
Shirley Yang has quite a lot of fighting scenes, and it is easier for actors to shoot if they have a background in dance or martial arts.
"Of course, I play a female bodyguard in "The Saint of Gambling", and I can fight and shoot."
Zhang Min said, reaching out and waving two fists into the air, followed by a whip leg with a high leg.
Then he put his foot on the ground, exerted force at his waist, and made a "ha" sound in his mouth, and rotated his body 180 degrees to make a roundhouse kick.
The whole movement is very smooth, clean and neat, without the slightest mud and water, very beautiful.
Qin Muchu also remembered that Zhang Min did have a lot of action scenes in "The Saint of Gambling", and there were also gunfight scenes, and her performance was very good.
Nodding with satisfaction, Shirley Yang's role is settled.
"How? Do you need to play a segment? Zhang Min asked.
The roles she has filmed on Hong Kong Island over the years have been directly determined, and she has never tried the scenes, so she doesn't know much about the auditions.
"It's okay, there's no need to do it again."
Qin Muchu waved his hand,
"I'll give you a copy of the script in a moment, you can take it back and read it, and call me back if you want."
"No, I can get back to you right now, I promise."
Zhang Min did not hesitate at all.
didn't read the script, and didn't even know who the character was, so he agreed to Qin Muchu's invitation,
"However, I have one condition."
"You said."
She smiled,
"You've got to sign me into your company."
……
At night, Hong Kong Island is brilliantly lit, here is the sea of lights, the world of light, thousands of lights, colorful, illuminating the night sky, dressing up the buildings.
A constant stream of vehicles passing along every glittering road is a city that never sleeps, and the night brings not rest and sleep, but more unbridled indulgence.
The Peninsula Hotel, Hong Kong Island's long-established upscale hotel.
The three buildings are surrounded by three sides, each of which looks golden in the bright yellow light, and the arched doors are like Western castles, revealing the aisles of the first floor, and the main building in the middle is dozens of stories high.
Qin Muchu stepped out of the car, and immediately the hotel's parking brother came to help park.
Zhang Min also got out of the car from the other side of the car door, wearing a black slim dress, the skirt had no zipper, and two clothes belts were tied at the back of the neck from the chest, revealing most of the white back, highlighting the proud plumpness.
She stepped on high heels, walked two quick steps to Qin Muchu's side, and held his arm.
Feeling the soft touch coming from his arm, Qin Muchu subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but was grabbed by Zhang Min hard.
"There are paparazzi secretly filming." Zhang Min whispered.
Hearing this, Qin Muchu glanced around, and soon noticed several suspicious cars across the road.
There are all kinds of luxury cars parked around the hotel, either horses or letters with small wings, or little golden figures, those vans are too conspicuous.
Seeing Qin Muchu looking over, the paparazzi in the car simply stopped hiding, poked their heads out of the window directly, and took pictures with a telephoto lens camera "click, click".
After being flashed a few times by the flashing light, Qin Muchu withdrew his gaze and walked towards the hotel with Zhang Min.
"Are the paparazzi on Hong Kong Island so arrogant?"
He couldn't help but ask, the paparazzi on the mainland were discovered by him like this, and his first reaction was to run, or pretend to be dead and shrink up.
"The paparazzi on Hong Kong Island are very fierce, very difficult to mess with, they dare to do anything, dare to write anything." Zhang Min looked accustomed to it.
"Haven't been beaten?"
"Beaten? Wouldn't they have news? And beating one is equivalent to stabbing the whole paparazzi, they are very united, and when the time comes, they will overwhelmingly report negative news......"
Zhang Min paused, and then said:
"Today is okay, the party is held by the family, they don't dare to mess around, otherwise there will definitely be people from them in the hotel who sneak in and secretly take pictures and listen."
Qin Muchu nodded, he understood it.
The paparazzi on the mainland are at most small milk dogs, while on the Hong Kong Island side, they are hyenas.
The two walked all the way into the hotel, and the second floor of the hotel was completely wrapped up, and it was arranged like a celebrity banquet.
Champagne, buffet food stations, wine glass towers, and a wide open stage.
"Qin Sheng, you're here, hurry up, please inside."
When the Xiang family and his wife saw Qin Muchu coming, they both smiled.
With the vigorous development of the entertainment industry in the mainland, Hong Kong Island is gradually declining, and everyone is seeking development in the mainland.
Tonight's party is to announce their cooperation between Xiang Jia and Qin Muchu or the mainland in "Journey to the West", which can be regarded as a "project establishment public meeting", and Xiang Jia also has the meaning of showing strength.
"Mr. Xiang, Xiang is too polite." Qin Muchu greeted with a smile.
Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Tai glanced at Zhang Min who was holding his hand next to Qin Muchu, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in their eyes.
This move is the right move.
Xiang Hua Qiang turned sideways, stretched his arms straight, and led in front:
"Come in, it's all insiders tonight, the artists and stars who can come from Hong Kong Island are here, they all admire Qin Sheng, I know each other today, if Qin Sheng has an eye-catching actor, we will definitely invite him to the crew of "Journey to the West".
In a word, it vaguely reveals the status of Xiang's family on Hong Kong Island.
Qin Muchu just smiled and waved his hand:
"I'm just an executive producer, and I have to refer to the director's opinion for casting...... By the way, is Zhou Xingxing here? ”
Hearing Qin Muchu mention Zhou Xingxing, Xiang and his wife smiled.
Xiang Tai smiled and said:
"Xingzi is here, and he has just arrived for a while. Now ......"
She searched and pointed in one direction:
"Sit there."
Qin Muchu followed the direction she pointed, and sure enough, he saw Zhou Xingxing sitting on the sofa in the corner.
The sofa was very long, but only Zhou Xingxing was sitting there, and there was no one around, as if everyone was deliberately avoiding it.
Zhou Xingxing didn't speak, and drank the drink on the coffee table by himself, which was incompatible with the atmosphere of the party.
"Mr. Xiang, Mrs. Xiang, then you can greet others first, I'll go sit over there for a while, and talk to him about the movie." Qin Muchu said.
He saw a lot of familiar faces at tonight's party, but he had seen them all in Hong Kong films, but he didn't know any of them in reality, and he was not the kind of person who was talkative and would take the initiative to make friends with others.
It's better to chat with Zhou Xingxing for a while.
"Okay, Qin Sheng, you are free."
Xiang Tai nodded, smiled and left with Xiang Huaqiang.
The conversation of several people was watched by the stars who came in the hall, especially when they saw Zhang Min holding Qin Muchu's arm, their pupils shrank.
Hong Kong Island is such a big place, and everyone knows what the news is.
For example, Zhang Min is Xiang Huasheng's woman.
They made eye contact, not understanding what was going on.
Xiang Huasheng was also at the hotel scene, hugging his female companion and surrounded by a circle of people.
Xiang Huasheng glanced at Zhang Min who was holding Qin Muchu's arm, not angry but happy.
But he quickly restrained himself, waved his hand, and pretended to be generous:
"Amin and I have broken up a long time ago, it doesn't matter who she is with, and I can't stop her from pursuing happiness, can I?"
Listening to Xiang Huasheng's words, a group of people looked at each other, and one of the little men was the first to react, and laughed:
"Haha, yes, everyone can pursue happiness, Brother Sheng is really pitiful, haha, haha."
The rest of the people, inspired by the little man, also reacted and followed suit.
Qin Muchu sat next to Zhou Xingxing, and Zhou Xingxing, who had been bowing his head and being silent, also showed a smile when he saw Qin Muchu.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhang Min sitting next to Qin Muchu again, he was slightly stunned, and soon his smile expanded, and his eyes became playful.
didn't speak, he pushed Qin Muchu with his arm, raised his eyebrows, and everything was silent.
"Lewd."
Qin Muchu made a pertinent evaluation of Zhou Xingxing's expression.
Zhou Xingxing didn't care about being scolded, and joked:
"It's not shallow—"
The last "oh" is long and the tone is euphemistic.
Qin Muchu had the urge to scold him with the lines in "Journey to the West", but thinking that he was a quality person, he still held back.
However, Zhang Min faced Zhou Xingxing's ridicule, as if he had no opinion, and leaned on Qin Muchu with a smile, quietly watching the two talk.
Xiang Tai said that night that a woman can't just be beautiful, but also smart, and she listened to it in her heart.
During this time, she had been learning what a wise woman should do.
She has a certain experience of when to speak in front of men, when to be silent, when to show herself, and when to hide.
Qin Muchu also knew that his current relationship with Zhang Min was indeed easy to misunderstand, but the more he explained this kind of thing, the more unclear it became, so he simply didn't explain it and got down to business.
"How was the casting of "Journey to the West" considered?"
Speaking of movies, Zhou Xingxing turned into a serious face in a second.
"Several main characters have considered, the second master of the cottage in "Moonlight Treasure Box", Wu Mengda is used, I have cooperated with him many times, and I have a very tacit understanding."
Listening to Zhou Xingxing talk about Uncle Da, Qin Muchu fell into memories.
If you want to say who Zhou Xingxing's golden partner is, there is no doubt that it is Wu Mengda.
Each of the movies the two collaborated on is a classic, and Uncle Da is the only actor in Zhou Xingxing's movies whose brilliance is not inferior to Zhou Xingxing.
Although Uncle Da played a supporting role, he left a deep impression no less than Zhou Xingxing who played the leading role.
But he didn't steal the limelight from Zhou Xingxing, on the contrary, the wonderful reaction between the two together will make each other's performances go to the next level.
If Zhou Xingxing's solo performance score is "10", and Uncle Da is also "10", then when the two cooperate, Zhou Xingxing will become "20", and the same is true for Uncle Da.
Seeing that Qin Muchu didn't speak, Zhou Xingxing thought that Qin Muchu had other ideas, but Wu Mengda was an actor he wanted to use, so he thought about how to convince Qin Muchu.
After a while, he spoke slowly, talking about something that happened a long time ago:
"When I first debuted, I filmed TV series and cooperated with Wu Mengda.
During the break, we were going to have coffee, and he sat on the ground, haha, I don't know why, there was a chair that didn't sit, he had to sit on the ground, and he kept holding a page, which was from the script, and kept reading.
More than an hour later, we came back from coffee, and he was still reading the page.
Ask him, what's in a page? It turned out that he had three lines of dialogue. ”
Zhou Xingxing raised the middle three fingers, and his expression didn't know whether he was speechless or emotional,
"And the dialogue is all 'hello', 'goodbye', I don't understand, it's just three sentences, is it necessary to watch it for so long?
He told me that it was necessary because there were only three lines of dialogue, and it was very simple dialogue, and because of this, he wanted to do everything in his power to make these three simple lines of dialogue three very simple lines of dialogue.
It took him a long time to think about it, and as a result, the director cut it. ”
Zhou Xingxing shook his head with a smile, as if he still felt funny when he remembered the scene at that time, but he felt pathetic.
He finally concluded, with some emotion:
"It inspired me a lot, he really taught me a lot."
Qin Muchu listened to Zhou Xingxing's experience of Uncle Da, and didn't know why he felt very familiar.
Suddenly, he remembered:
"You have a clip in 'The King of Comedy', is that where you got the inspiration?"
Zhou Xingxing smiled:
"yes, you've seen it."
"Of course."
Qin Muchu nodded.
There is a passage in the King of Comedy where the director tells Yin Tianqiu about the play, three lines, the first sentence is "scared", the second sentence is "Oh", and the third sentence is "You better go".
Yin Tianqiu took the script and said that he wanted to go back and memorize the words, but was stopped by the director and asked him "can I return the script".
And the script that Yin Tianqiu took out was full of markings.
"Wu Mengda is very good, you can use it." Zhou Xingxing emphasized.
"Hmm."
Seeing Qin Muchu nodding, Zhou Xingxing relieved himself.
Wu Mengda is the only good friend in the circle who understands him except for Qin Muchu, and he resonates with him very much.
Teacher and friend.
As long as it is possible, Zhou Xingxing wants to cooperate with him.
However, his thoughts were completely in vain, Qin Muchu didn't disagree at first, he was just wandering.
"Didn't Uncle Da come?"
Qin Muchu looked at the hotel lobby and didn't find Wu Mengda.
"Here, just sit where you sat and go to the bathroom." Zhou Xingxing replied.
As he was talking, suddenly a voice came from the side:
"Xingzai, the Peninsula Hotel is different, the toilets are much more luxurious than ordinary hotels, but it's too difficult to find......"
A middle-aged man sighed as he walked with his waist hunched.
With a small flat head, a plaid shirt, and a mustache on the upper lip, it looks a little obscene.
It was Wu Mengda.
