Chapter 34: Zhong Chuhong's Decision
"Of course you don't take it, not only is the salary not worthy of your worth, but even the story is very average. Qiao Feng shook his head decisively and said.
"I didn't even tell the specific story, how do you know the story?" Zhong Chuhong was a little puzzled and asked in surprise.
Eh, Qiao Feng was stunned for a moment, as if Zhong Chuhong only said that Xu Anhua was looking for her to make a film about Vietnamese Chinese fleeing Hong Kong, but the specific story was indeed not said.
"yes, that's right." Qiao Feng nodded a little stiffly: "But, you, didn't you say that you are telling the story of overseas Chinese in Vietnam who fled Hong Kong, this, I don't listen to the specific story, and I also know that there must be nothing to see." Qiao Feng defended himself and went back to the circle.
Of course, Qiao Feng is pure nonsense, Zhong Chuhong really didn't say what he was talking about, but he not only knew what to say, but also knew what the name of the film that Xu Anhua asked Zhong Chuhong to make.
The story of Hu Yue, one of the masterpieces of Hong Kong New Wave cinema, is also one of the "Vietnam Trilogy" directed by Xu Anhua.
The story is that after the end of the Vietnam War, Hong Kong once became the "first harbor of refuge", receiving a large number of Vietnamese refugees and boat people. After arriving in Hong Kong, these people will be placed in detention camps by the Hong Kong government.
After Hu Yue, a Chinese-Vietnamese who had been lucky enough to save his life during the Vietnam War, fled to Hong Kong with his partner, he met Li Lijun, a pen pal who had never been masked and had broken off contact with later, who was very sympathetic to his plight. When Hu Yue counter-killed him and regarded him as an agent of the Viet Cong, Li Lijun decided to help him get a fake passport to the United States. When applying for a passport, Hu Yue met Shen Qing, who had the same fate as him, and the two talked about living together in the United States.
When Hu Yue, Shen Qing and others were transiting in the Philippines, Shen Qing and several other girls were secretly taken away by the person who helped them apply for passports, in order to find Shen Qing, Hu Yue gave up the opportunity to go to the United States, and coerced the person to come to a song and dance performance venue in Chinatown in the Philippines. In order to fulfill his promise to take care of Shen Qing, Hu Yue promised his boss Zhong Ren to be a killer for him, on the condition that they could not touch Shen Qing.
Later, on the way to kill again, he encountered the police, Hu Yue's companion Ah San had no choice but to shoot, the police died, and the boss Zhong Ren was unwilling to protect the two of them, so he could only hand them over.
The good thing is to pretend to hand it over, and then arrange a vehicle for them to escape, but they were attacked by the police and the boss Zhong Ren, Ah San died on the way to escape, Shen Qing also died, and finally Hu Yue killed the boss Zhong Ren and buried Shen Qing in the sea on the boat that left the Philippines.
The plot is such a plot, it's very simple, and the literary film, in order to reflect the fateful tragedy that people have nowhere to escape under the control of the general environment, the picture is also dark, the story is not very attractive, and the viewing experience is also very bad and depressing.
But this is just Qiao Feng's opinion, in fact, this movie was released in the original time and space for thirteen days, and took a box office of more than 3.8 million, ranking eighteenth on the box office list that year, which is really okay.
The key thing is that the film has a pretty good reputation among critics and many new generation directors.
In the first Academy Awards held the following year, screenwriter Zhang Jianting also won the Best Screenplay Award.
And the actor Zhou Runfa and the heroine Zhong Chuhong have also attracted the attention of the film industry with this film.
If you have to say it, this film can be regarded as the first one of Zhong Chuhong's popularity.
But that's the original plane.
In this time and space, Zhong Chuhong has just become popular with his best friend, and he is still an instant hit, and Zhou Yunfa is even more popular with the God of Gamblers not long ago, and his salary has also risen to millions exponentially.
Although it can't be compared with Cheng Long's salary when he filmed his younger brother, you must know that Cheng Long's salary in that drama is still calculated as the signing fee for him to join Golden Harvest.
At present, in Hong Kong, there is no one who can be equal to Zhou Yanfa's salary except Cheng Long.
Since Xu Anhua can find Zhong Chuhong according to the inertia of history, then he will definitely go back to Zhou Runfa.
According to Zhou Yan's discovery of Zai's fame and salary, it is pitiful that it is unlikely to participate in this story of Hu Yue.
Zhong Chuhong, with Qiao Feng's mixing, there will not even be a possibility.
Qiao Feng disagreed, the salary does not meet the value, the story is generally secondary, the key thing in this movie is that the heroine Shen Qing and the male protagonist have an intimate scene.
This Qiao Feng can't accept it no matter what, and according to the investment in this film, it may be impossible for them to find a stand-in for Zhong Chuhong, and even if they can find it, for the sake of tens of thousands of yuan in salary, Qiao Feng feels that it is not worth the trouble.
"Then, I'll push it." Zhong Chuhong said with some hesitation.
"Pushed." Qiao Feng nodded.
"Okay then." Although he felt that the story was actually okay, he was a little reluctant in his heart, but based on his trust in Qiao Feng, Zhong Chuhong still followed his advice.
"If you want to act in a literary film, I will write you a book in the future." Qiao Feng took Zhong Chuhong's hand and comforted him.
"Okay." Zhong Chuhong had a smile on his face, but then he felt that his hand was being rubbed and caressed by Qiao Feng's big hand.
"Let go, stinky rascal." Zhong Chuhong immediately remembered that he was still in a cold war with Qiao Feng, and he couldn't give him a good face, so his smile disappeared, his willow eyebrows were upside down, and he kicked Qiao Feng's calf fiercely while scolding.
"You're a dog, turn your face when you say it." Looking at Zhong Chuhong's back as she walked away, Qiao Feng covered her calf and shouted in pain.
"Brother Feng, are you okay?" As soon as Zhong Chuhong left, Guan Zhilin was very good at seizing the opportunity to quickly fill the position.
"It's okay, it's okay." Qiao Feng endured the pain and waved his hand.
"It's okay, you see you're in tears." Guan Zhilin wiped the corners of Qiao Feng's eyes with her hand, and then stretched out her white and smooth little hand for Qiao Feng to see, and continued to say: "That woman is too ruthless, how can she kick you so hard, come, Brother Feng, you pull up your pants, I'll help you rub them."
"It's okay, it's really okay, it just started hurting a little, and now it doesn't hurt anymore." Qiao Feng didn't want to let others see Guan Zhilin rubbing his legs in public, not to mention the bad impact, the most important thing would be to stimulate Zhong Chuhong, if Zhong Da Beauty was completely angry, then he would suffer.
Therefore, Qiao Feng hurriedly grabbed Guan Zhilin's hand pulling his pants, then glared at his legs hard, stomped his feet, and signaled that he really didn't need to rub it.
"Oh, well." Guan Zhilin was very disappointed that she couldn't show her intimacy with Qiao Feng in front of everyone in the crew, especially Zhong Chuhong.
"Alright, the break is over, and the next show is ready to shoot."
Just when Qiao Feng was thinking about how to switch Zhilin and not stimulate Zhong Chuhong, Wang Jing's voice came to help him relieve him.
