Chapter 459: Mei Yanfang
After resting for one night, Zhang Chu returned to Xiangjiang with the crew of "Infernal Affairs" the next day.
For the next period of time, Zhang Chu will stay here, first "Hurricane Rescue 3" will be released, and "Ultimate Infernal" will be launched next month.
There was a gap of almost a month between the two films, and the hard steel on the front was avoided.
As soon as he got off the plane, Zhang Chu was sent to Yongsheng Company by someone arranged by Chen Lan and accepted an exclusive interview.
The release time of "Hurricane Rescue 3" is the night after tomorrow, and Zhang Chu, as the leading actor, only came to participate in the promotion at this time, which is already very late.
However, this time he returned with the momentum of the Golden Horse actor, and he could also burn a fire in advance for the release of "Hurricane Rescue 3".
"Double actor, among the new generation of actors, Achu, you are also the first!"
Chen Lan's praise, Zhang Chu did not take it to heart.
What is the first person of the new generation, if you want to be the first person in the world film industry, this title is worthy of Master Zhang.
"Do you need to be sent home to rest at a banquet in the evening?"
"No need!"
It takes less than an hour to fly from Baodao to Xiangjiang.
Zhang Chu is indeed much stronger now than before, and the reaction to airsickness is not so great.
"What is the name of the banquet in the evening?"
"It's nothing special, organized by the Xiangjiang Artists Association."
And such an organization?
"I'm not a member, do I need to participate?"
"Who says you're not?"
Belch......
Zhang Chu didn't know when he joined the club.
"I asked you to fill out a registration form before, and you forgot?"
Registration form?
Zhang Chu thought for a while, and finally remembered that Chen Lan had indeed asked her assistant to bring a document before, but he was busy filming at that time and didn't care about watching it, and when he saw that it was not an important thing, he asked Xiaoma to help fill it out.
I didn't expect it to be such a thing.
"Okay! Just eating, nothing else. ”
"Don't worry! I don't mean anything else, I want to say something......"
The expression that was still smiling suddenly became a little lost.
"That's what happened to Ame!"
Who?
"Mei Yanfang! You wouldn't even know about her, would you? ”
Hehe!
"Of course I do!"
When filming "Ambush on All Sides" before, Zhang Yimou talked to Zhang Chu many times about the eldest sister in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry.
Originally, Zhang Yimou planned to invite Mei Yanfang for the role of the eldest sister played by Song Dan in "Ambush on All Sides", but when the movie was about to start, Mei Yanfang's condition suddenly worsened, and the two missed the opportunity to cooperate.
She ...... What's wrong? ”
Chen Lan's mood was very low: "I just went to the hospital some time ago, and her current condition ...... Very bad. ”
Worst?
Although Zhang Chu had never met Mei Yanfang, he often heard people mention it, and now he suddenly learned that her situation was "very bad", and he couldn't help frowning.
"It doesn't mean to discuss her afterlife, right?"
"What nonsense!"
Chen Lan hurriedly stopped Zhang Chu.
"Of course not, this time it's for her concert."
What? What? What?
It's all mess.
Just now I was saying that Mei Yanfang's situation is very bad, listening to it is just these days, why are you talking about it again?
"Sister Lan, didn't you just say ......?"
"The situation is very bad, and there is no need for treatment, but she ...... Still obstinate and wanting to say a final goodbye to the fans who like her, so ......"
Zhang Chu probably understood, but he really couldn't understand Mei Yanfang's decision.
The body has reached the point where the oil has run out, and he is still thinking about the fans?
But this perseverance is admirable.
"When is the concert?"
"Tomorrow!"
cough cough cough ......
Are you sure you just visited Mei Yanfang in the hospital not long ago?
Was her condition really "very bad" at the time?
"So tonight's banquet is ......"
"Ah Mei wants to get together with friends in the circle before the concert starts."
Zhang Chu felt as if he was listening to a mythical story.
A terminally ill star who died soon, in order not to leave regrets before leaving, insisted on holding a concert for fans who liked her, and before again, she had to say goodbye to her friends in the circle in person.
"Me and her...... Haven't seen it before. ”
"But Amei specially asked me that day, do you have time, she wants to meet you."
It sounds a little scary.
"Okay!"
If this is also a deathbed wish, of course Zhang Chu is fine, although he doesn't know why Mei Yanfang wants to see him.
In the afternoon, Zhang Chu was sent to take a set of promotional photos, about his peripherals, in fact, he has not authorized anyone or the company, and now Yongsheng has no opinion on the use of it in order to promote the movie.
After taking the promotional photos, Zhang Chu followed and went to the Victoria Hotel, today's banquet was nominally organized by the Xiangjiang Artists Association, but it was sponsored by its own funder.
So, it was supposed to be a private gathering, but even the media were alarmed, and when Zhang Chu came over, there were at least hundreds of reporters guarding the door.
As soon as he appeared, the reporters immediately rushed up and slapped Zhang Chu with a click.
Fortunately, Chen Lan arranged two bodyguards for him, and under the escort of the bodyguards and ponies, he finally squeezed into the door of the hotel.
If I had known, I wouldn't have come!
Take the elevator upstairs, and in the banquet hall, there are already many people arriving.
"Achu!"
Liu Dehua walked over to Zhang Chu, he also deliberately wore a suit with sequins today, looking particularly sassy.
"This dress is good!"
Liu Dehua said, and helped Zhang Chu tidy up the neckline of the windbreaker, and whispered.
"Wait a minute, be happy."
What does it mean?
I don't have any trouble!
Wait a minute!
Zhang Chu looked at Liu Dehua for a while, and instantly understood why he was dressed like this today.
Mei Yanfang's health situation, her friends should already know, and at the same time, they also know that today is probably the last party, and everyone hopes that Mei Yanfang can be happy.
"Understood!"
Subsequently, Liu Dehua took Zhang Chu to greet some insiders he didn't know, although he won himself twice in a row, but Liu Dehua has always spared no effort in promoting newcomers.
Especially the newcomers he is very optimistic about.
This is a good opportunity to expand contacts, and Zhang Chu is not exclusive to this, and everyone greets each other, pretending to be very familiar.
waited until seven o'clock, Mei Yanfang arrived.
Seeing Mei Yanfang for the first time, Zhang Chu couldn't believe that this would be a patient who was about to die.
Although he is very thin, he is in good spirits, and when he greets his friends, he is no different from a normal person.
"Zhang Chu!"
Mei Yanfang walked up to Zhang Chu and looked at him with a smile.
"My brother was ...... Have a heart! ”
Zhang Chu knew that Mei Yanfang's "brother" was referring to Zhang Guorong, when Zhang Chu got the news, he rushed to the hospital as soon as possible and sent a bouquet of flowers, and later Zhang Guorong's funeral, although Zhang Chu did not attend, but also sent wreaths and elegiac couplets.
Because he was going to attend this party today, Zhang Chu deliberately asked Xiaoma to get to know Mei Yanfang.
Naturally, I know that Mei Yanfang and Zhang Guorong's 40-year-old agreement, the two of them said that if they reach the age of 40, the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, and the two of them will spend their lives together.
It's just that no one thought that Zhang Guorong would choose to jump from the upper floor at the beginning of the year and end his life.
And Mei Yanfang will also die soon because of cancer.
Speaking of which, it's really a trick to make people.
The two only said a few words, as if Mei Yanfang specially invited Zhang Chu to participate in this banquet just to thank him.
Mei Yanfang only stayed for an hour, and left the hotel under the escort of the staff, and when she left, Zhang Chu finally realized that she was indeed very sick, and in just one hour, she was exhausted.
In such a physical state, there will be a concert tomorrow.
It's just a joke with your own life.
"You're not going to persuade her?"
As soon as Mei Yanfang left, Liu Dehua's eyes were red, and he shook his head with a wry smile when he heard the words.
"Why haven't I persuaded her, familiar friends have persuaded her to take care of her health, but ...... The person who can really persuade her is gone! ”
Zhang Chu was stunned when he heard this, and immediately reacted, the person Liu Dehua said was also Zhang Guorong.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the banquet hall was so oppressive that it was breathless, and everyone looked sad.
Zhang Chu looked at it and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it is not in vain for a person to get so much friendship.
I really don't know if someone will shed a few tears for him after he disappears from the previous world.
After saying hello to Liu Dehua, Zhang Chu left early.
The next night, Zhang Chu attended Mei Yanfang's farewell concert, and for an hour and a half, Mei Yanfang always beat her spirits, hoping to leave her best side for fans who like her.
At the end of the concert, Mei Yanfang also changed into a wedding dress prepared for herself, and Pony said that Mei Yanfang had also experienced several relationships before, but all of them ended in failure.
At the end of her life, she chose to marry herself off.
On the stage, Mei Yanfang sang "Song of the Sunset" for the last time, Zhang Chu's position was all insiders, and Mei Yanfang's friends had already cried.
While singing, she walked up the stairs, and the moment she stepped into the door, Mei Yanfang suddenly turned around and faced the stage.
She smiled, then waved her hand.
"Bye-bye!"
The lights went out and the audience fell silent, and after a full ten seconds, there was a round of applause.
It's worth it!
Zhang Chu also applauded, although he was not familiar with Mei Yanfang, and it was only the first time they met yesterday, but at this moment, he really admired this woman from the bottom of his heart.
Although her life is only 40 years in a hurry, she was born for the stage and died for the stage, and since then she has ridden the wind, and she has also left endless thoughts for those who like her, and she has truly achieved no regrets.
