Chapter 320: Unite Her
That night, call it a day.
Zhong Chuhong took off her makeup, put on the most comfortable jeans and sneakers, and walked out with her bag.
The Clear Water Bay studio is remote, and there are no minibuses if it's too late. There are accommodations in the factory area with simple conditions for employees filming night scenes. Those who don’t have a car usually stay here overnight or take a car back.
Zhong Chuhong has someone to take care of her and arrange a vehicle for every night scene.
It's the same today. The driver from the past drove the car over happily. He has been very happy for more than a month. He often sends beautiful women off to get off work. Although he is not pretentious about himself, she is also a beautiful woman.
"Miss Zhong!"
The driver greeted him and opened the door diligently, thinking that Zhong Chuhong would get in the car as usual, but he didn't move and said, "I won't bother you today, I'll go by myself."
"Did you call a cab?"
"Anyway, I won't bother you anymore. Thank you very much for this."
"..."
The driver felt sad that he had been NTRed, so he had no choice but to walk away.
Zhong Chuhong was waiting on the set, seeing off one partner after another. Half an hour passed before he knew it, and he was inevitably a little angry. Suddenly he heard two beeps, and a familiar Gundam slowly drove over.
"Hey, why haven't you left yet?"
"I'm waiting for someone!"
Zhong Chuhong carried her bag with one hand and walked forward without looking at him. Gundam followed slowly.
"Who are you waiting for so late?"
"Waiting for Andy!"
"Hua Zai and Jiahui took off in the car."
"Then I'll wait for Director Xu!"
"Director Xu drove away long ago."
"Then can't I stay overnight? Can't I experience the leftist dormitory?"
Qingshui Bay was quietly empty, and the car lights shook the night. Chen Qi pointed to the door in front with a smile and said: "If you don't come up, Xiao Geng will step on the accelerator and go out."
The car stopped and he opened the back seat door.
Zhong Chuhong also stopped and looked at the seat: "You want to see me off?"
"Yeah, give it a chance."
"It's hard to do it!"
She got into the car with a smile, and said as she came up: "Hey, you let me go, and you ran away quietly that day?"
"I didn't expect it to be so urgent. I booked a flight and had to leave on the same day. Didn't I arrange for someone to see you off?"
"So are you done with your work on the mainland?"
"For now, I have to go back later."
"What exactly are you doing there? You look so busy and mysterious." Zhong Chuhong asked curiously.
"Didi!"
Xiao Geng honked the horn twice at the right time, and Xiao Mo glanced in the rearview mirror. The car drove to the Tsim Sha Tsui area on a familiar road, but he had already imagined a spy scene.
There are differences between the two places. Zhong Chuhong is from Shaw Brothers and cannot reveal information casually.
Chen Qi knew that this was a reminder to himself, and he had a sense of propriety, so he said: "I tell you, you must not tell anyone."
"Yeah! I will keep it a secret!"
Zhong Chuhong opened his eyes wide and was extremely interested.
"Have you ever heard of some rumors that I can pinch, count, or have special powers or something like that?"
"I've heard it before. Even Director Xu told it."
"Then let me tell you, this is true!"
"Wow--"
Zhong Chuhong covered her mouth.
After all, the craze for qigong and supernormal abilities has risen in the mainland, and the buzz has spread to Hong Kong. Many mainlanders in Hong Kong movies have this setting. For example, the character Stephen Chow in "The Gambler" is from mainland China. people.
There are also the army in "The Gambler", Zhang Baocheng in "The Gambler 2"...
"I belong to the Chinese Dragon Group and specialize in handling mysterious events. My ability is to predict the future. I came to Hong Kong to fight against evil aliens, prevent them from invading the earth, and maintain world peace!"
Xiao Mo was very nervous at first, but now he relaxed and muttered in his heart: Damn you, you are bragging! However, the Chinese Dragon Group sounds pretty good, much better than the 749 game.
Zhong Chuhong listened carefully at first, and then shouted: "Forget it if you don't tell me, you're lying!"
"I told you and you didn't believe me."
"Do you think I'm an idiot? I graduated from Form 5 after all."
Zhong Chuhong noticed his cover-up and didn't want to stalk him, but she was even more curious in her heart.
Because she didn't know anything about the mainland, this natural barrier caused Chen Qi to always be covered with a thin veil. Even though the two of them were quite familiar now, she couldn't see through it.
"Since you're interested, why not come to the mainland in person and I'll be your tour guide." Chen Qi said with a smile.
"Stop! Don't talk about this!"
She made a crossed gesture and said: "I have read your newspaper recently and I know that your behavior is called united front... I said I don't think about it now, and I don't understand it at all. I will go back to Shaw Brothers after filming. Yes, I just want to make money safely.”
"Shao? I don't necessarily want you!"
"We have a contract for several years. It was Manager Fang's permission for me to film for you. She only said to film this film, but she didn't say to drive me away."
"Okay, just believe it."
Chen Qi pouted.
The capitalists in Hong Kong don't treat celebrities as human beings, let alone a new star. Their value is even lower and they can be thrown away at any time. But if you don’t want to believe this kind of thing, you have to hit the wall once to understand it.
Zhong Chuhong expressed joy at his return and expressed avoidance of joining the left.
"The Love of Ghosts" was completed at the end of May, and she would return to Shaw Brothers at that time, but her carefree temperament did not allow her to be sentimental. In her opinion, as long as Chen Qi is often in Hong Kong, they can meet each other, and it doesn't matter what faction he belongs to.
The car arrived at the downstairs of Chungking Tower.
Cherry Chung got out of the car and said with a smile: "Thank you for your trouble today! And this driver, thank you for your hard work, and this bodyguard, wow, you are still so cool..."
She greeted Xiao Mo and Xiao Geng enthusiastically.
The two nodded indifferently.
She waved her hand and turned around with her bag. Chen Qi teased her again and shouted: "Hey! I really can predict the future. You will be very popular this year and will join us!"
"Don't always think about uniting me!"
Cherry Chung stamped her feet: "I'm leaving!"
…………
Returned to the Great Wall dormitory.
It was already late, and Chen Qi was not sleepy at all.
"Ghost" was about to be completed, and the Cannes Film Festival was about to be held. He had to prepare many things.
He took a bath and sat at the table to write a report. This is the work summary of the East Factory in the first half of the year. I will write a little bit first and send it to the higher-ups together with Fu Qi's application after returning from Cannes.
Fu Qi's application was still about the merger of the left. The general managers of Great Wall, Phoenix, Xinlian, and the cinema chain had reached a consensus that they could no longer be separated and it would be better to be united.
This application had been written several times, but the superiors had never approved it.
And his work summary, the first part was a routine report, the key was the last part.
Chen Qi put forward three requirements:
First, the East Factory must have a formal office space, it cannot just get a room in the Beijing Film Studio, it must also have its own compound.
Second, more staffing is needed, the East Factory must expand!
Third, he wanted to set up a branch in Hong Kong, and asked for a more relaxed operating environment, such as investment projects, such as the establishment of a music department.
He earned foreign exchange for the country, and if he earned it back, of course he had to get benefits. The first year of the start-up can be rough and simple, but it would be unreasonable if it was still the same in the second and third years.
(No more...
I will make it up tomorrow!)
