Chapter 23: Guest-starred tabloid reporter

"Exclusive report from this newspaper: There is new news from the Hong Kong Film Company, which is currently in a sensation in Hong Kong. There is news that the company has opened up all three studios on its studio and rebuilt a three-story studio that is estimated to be more than 10,000 feet. The company has invited Mr. Yuan Chen, who was once responsible for art and props in "The World", to be fully responsible.

Mr. Yuan Chen has confirmed to this newspaper that he signed a contract with Xiangjiang Film Company seven days ago. He was not convenient to disclose the specific content of the film script because of an agreement. However, he only revealed that the set was the background of the Tang Dynasty, which was quite challenging. If it could be recognized by the audience, it would be a great improvement for him.

According to a person from Xiangjiang Film Company who did not want to be named, the mysterious director from the mainland has done everything himself, making detailed analysis and research on character styling, set props, costume design and creation, and even drawing sketches by himself. All staff were quite amazed by this. Mr. Yuan Chen also said that the director of the film is very young, but it gave him a lot of inspiration. He was happy that he had the opportunity to take on the heavy responsibility behind the scenes in this big investment film.

However, our newspaper also observed that Xiangjiang Film Company has not responded to any adverse rumors in the outside world so far. Some industry insiders said that they are not optimistic about the big investment of Xiangjiang Film Company because from the record, the company has never made a profit of more than 500,000 yuan. Moreover, it is said that the director is from the mainland, and they are very skeptical about whether the mainland director is familiar with Hong Kong's local culture and the tastes of the audience!

'Why don't you give young directors a chance? Just wait and see!' The deputy director of the film surnamed Liu retorted the reporter's suspicion. He himself was very optimistic about the film and believed that it would be a major breakthrough in martial arts films. But when the reporter asked about the details, he said it was inconvenient to talk in detail and left in a hurry. This person had made several films, but the response was mediocre. Our newspaper will follow the report."

——"Hong Kong Daily News" November 23

Li Siming has entered a working state, and this is two people like the idle Li Siming in normal times. Xiaodao has a deep understanding of this. He seems to have seen the captain who is obeying orders in the army again.

The first thing Li Siming did was a salary increase. A contradiction in the early 1980s of Hong Kong movies was that the salary of the staff behind the scenes was too low. From director to running errands, it greatly suppressed the enthusiasm of this person. The actors' pay was rising. On one side, there were film sales and on the other side, there were complaints from the staff's cheap labor, which was also the fundamental reason for many disputes. Li Siming was the boss, so of course he didn't have to receive a salary. It was considered "voluntary labor", and it was the one with the highest and most active style.

"Long live the director!" The salary increase to the staff naturally aroused everyone's cheers, and no one would think that the salary increase was high. Of course, Li Siming pointed out in time that the salary increase was because of his strong suggestion, so Boss Zeng happily accepted it for his sake. Zeng Zhi hated Li Siming's favorable behavior.

Because Director Liu once told Li Siming that a united and mutually helpful crew is the first. Li Siming deeply agrees.

Li Siming is busy these days, and all the schedules are already full. The first thing he decided was the artist. For this reason, he invited Mr. Yuan Chen, who was famous for creating the style and fineness of a former Beijing official in a small Hong Kong. Li Siming knew that there was such a character because of films such as "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "On the State of the Curtain". When Li Siming conveyed his creativity, Yuan Chen was deeply attracted. The Tang Dynasty was a vanguard and wasted dynasty, which was too long apart from today. There were few films involved in the past, and even if there were, the stage setting was very rough. This was a big challenge for Yuan Chen. If it succeeded, it would naturally be a fame and fortune. Moreover, the other party gave a good salary, so he agreed happily.

Zeng Zhi is also famous in Hong Kong. Isn’t he still known as the “Prince Prince”? Although it doesn’t fit the facts, he has to ask people everywhere at this time. Li Siming gave him a task and asked a composer. This man named Tang Jiaren, who is a classical musician and is known as a genius. A considerable number of people of this type of people are disgusted with the entertainment industry, think they are self-righteous and white snow, look down on Liba people, and have a kind of noble character of elegant and cultural people.

"Sorry, Mr. Zeng, I dare not be interested in movies. Please order Gao Ming?" Tang Jiaren refused without thinking about it.

"Mr. Tang, please think carefully. We are very sincere!" Zeng Zhi said sincerely. He hates begging others the most.

"Aren, who is it?" There was a woman's voice inside, probably his wife.

"No need to think about it, please go back!" Tang Jiaren slammed the door. If Zeng Zhi hadn't been avoided quickly, he would have been suffering from blood.

"Damn it, you won't even let the door in!" Zeng Zhi couldn't help cursing, "If I catch your handle, you'll be done!"

Zeng Zhi walked down the apartment building cursingly and thought that he didn't look at the calendar today. It was not good for travel. This gentleman didn't even give him time to persuade him. He originally promised Li Siming that he would do his best to ten.

"Five hundred million!" Zeng Zhi had a beautiful dream in his heart.

"I will be playing with you from today!" Zeng Zhi walked straight to the cafe opposite the apartment, sat in a seat under the floor-to-ceiling glass facing outward, holding coffee and staring at the apartment opposite.

Don’t think that Zeng Zhi has given up. If you think that way, you are very wrong. You may not have heard of the story of grinding an iron rod into a needle, but the story of "Yugong Moving Mountain" has also been memorized like a stream. In the era when the atmosphere of "only learning the third chapter, memorizing only the third chapter, and talking only the third chapter" spread across the country, who has not read it?

Just as he thought about it and couldn't find a way to let the other party submit, he occasionally glanced out and saw Tang Jiaren hurried out from the apartment, and got in with a move of his hand. Zeng Zhi was very suspicious and quickly threw down the banknotes and called Uncle Cheng who had parked the car outside and waited, and followed him.

The taxi went to a residential area, where a woman was waiting, and the two hugged each other intimately as soon as they met.

Zeng Zhi had already inquired about Tang's two or three things when he came, all of which were related to women. According to the mainland, this man had problems with his "lifestyle" and was a relatively romantic one. The only one who was kept in the dark was his wife. His wife was a strong woman, maybe because her wife was too controlled, so she had a rebellious mentality and looked for comfort outside, so she had too close relationships with a female colleague, but outsiders only heard it occasionally. This was very in line with the man's heart. The flowers in the house did not have the fragrance of wild flowers!

"His grandma's, I've gained a lot today." Zeng Zhi was overjoyed. He told Uncle Cheng to park the car around the corner. There was a Japanese camera next to him. He rushed in, but he didn't pick it. He just swiped the card and left as quickly as possible. The shopping guide was secretly happy. He was so lucky today that he came to a happy landlord.

"Uncle Cheng, follow behind, don't get too close, don't lose it!" Zeng Zhi ordered. Zeng Zhi fiddled with the camera and took a photo with a telephoto lens. The couple got into another taxi.

"San Young Master! This is not very good." Uncle Cheng said with a bitter face. Zeng Zhi ranked third among the younger generation of the family. "If someone secretly photographs others intimate, if outsiders find out, where will the elders put their face?"

"Uncle Cheng, you have been following me over the past few years. Am I the one who is that? I endured humiliation for my career." Zeng Zhi thanked him for his kindness, but he was not grateful. "Besides, there is no tabloid reporter driving a Rolls-Royce and secretly photographing someone having an affair. If I can let me take action in person, it is to give him face."

"Okay." Uncle Cheng shook his head. His car was driving very well. He had been driving for more than thirty years. His wide body had become spiritual under his control. He bit the taxi from afar, but he would not let it be flooded by the traffic. Often when the other party was about to disappear, Rolls-Royce nimbled through the cracks in the traffic and followed closely behind.

"Uncle Cheng, your car is driving well! He is so strong!" Zeng Zhi said complimented.

"Of course, I was also the number one driver on the streets of Kowloon back then! In Beijing dialect, it's gone!" Uncle Cheng boasted.

"Hi! I admire you!" Zeng Zhi said complimentingly, feeling chilled in his heart.

The target who followed him hugged her shoulders and entered a French restaurant. It seemed that he wanted to have a romantic candlelight dinner. Zeng Zhi rolled down the car window and patted him hard at his back. Zeng Zhi followed him in, bribed the waiter with a sum of money, and came to the box that Tang Jiaren had booked. He gently pushed the door open a crack, and the couple who had a crush on him were chewing inside. Zeng Zhi secretly called Tianzhu, turned off the flash, and gently pressed the shutter. The couple was too involved and knew nothing about what was happening outside.

Zeng Zhi didn't dare to fight, so he quietly stepped out. By the way, he bought some takeaway at the door and returned to the car to taste it with Uncle Cheng.

"Uncle Cheng, if I... become a pauper one day, I... can still rely on digging for other people's privacy... to support myself!" Zeng Zhi was stuffed with food in his mouth, very proud.

"You kid, stop talking crazy. Even if you become a pauper, your friends from Beijing will not ignore it." Uncle Cheng smiled.

"You're right." Zeng Zhi stared at the French restaurant opposite, "I've been in Hong Kong for a few years, and I really don't have any friends!"

After the target had a French meal, it took two hours. Zeng Zhi was so energetic that he was already in a daze. After finally waiting for the target to come out, Zeng Zhi cheered up and followed behind again. He was full of food and lust. This made sense. Tang Jiaren took his lover to a hotel. He could imagine what he would do.

After taking a lot of visually impactful shots, Zeng Zhi rubbed his slightly sore eyes and ordered Uncle Cheng to go home.

"Little girl, fighting with me will pay the price!" Zeng Zhi said to the camera in his hand.
