I become a big star after I sleep

Chapter 165 Night Banquet (1)

When Deputy Director Ma came in with Xiang Huasheng who had only met him once, Qin Muchu felt guilty like a ghost.

"Director Qin, I'm taking the liberty to come here, I hope I didn't disturb you."

Xiang Huasheng smiled and was very polite.

Qin Muchu also stood up and shook hands with Xiang Huasheng.

"Don't bother me, I just have a friend who came to visit the class."

"Director Qin's friend? Are you from Hong Kong Island? Then maybe I still recognize..."

Without saying the word "knowledge", Xiang Huasheng's eyes froze, and the smile on his face became visibly stiff.

Zhou Xingxing had no expression on his face, nor did he greet Xiang Huasheng, as if he saw a stranger.

"Ah, haha, so it's Xingzi."

Xiang Huasheng quickly adjusted, looked at Zhou Xingxing, narrowed his eyes slightly:

"I didn't expect you and Qin Sheng to be friends."

There seemed to be some sarcasm in the tone.

Then he looked at Qin Muchu again, and said with a smile as if joking:
"Xingzi is not bad as an actor. Many people think that he is just the joking and funny look in the movie. In fact, he has a very weird temper in real life, and he doesn't have many friends."

Zhou Xingxing raised his eyebrows and was about to speak when a hand suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

Qin Muchu hugged Zhou Xingxing's shoulder, laughed and said:
"Really? That's really rare. Xingzai and I get along well. Speaking of which, I'm afraid I have a weird temper."

Xiang Huasheng twitched with a smile.

If he follows these words,
"Yes, your temper is indeed strange."

That is to offend people.

Thinking of the importance that his brother and sister-in-law attached to Qin Muchu, he emphasized again and again that even if they couldn't get along well, they must never offend him.

He immediately waved his hand:
"What kind of temper is it? This is... personality. If an artist is like ordinary people and has no personality, how can he make achievements?"

When Qin Muchu heard this, he neither agreed nor opposed.

It's just that the smile became wider, and he let go of Zhou Xingxing's shoulder, and said to Deputy Director Ma:
"Get a seat for Mr. Xiang, and the crew will rest for a while. Mr. Xiang and I want to chat for a while."

……

Kowloon Bay, inside a luxury villa.

On the coffee table in the living room, three cups of tea were steaming.

"That's all he said?"

"Well, it's just chatting, but this time he invited him to dinner, he didn't refuse, but...he has a good relationship with Zhou Xingxing."

Talking to Huasheng, he looked at his elder brother and sister-in-law, mainly sister-in-law.

In the entertainment circle of Hong Kong Island, the Xiang family brothers can be said to be one and the same, and the scenery is infinite.

The scenery is also inseparable from the contribution of a woman, his sister-in-law—Xiang Tai.

The two brothers seldom take care of operational matters, and Mrs. Xiang takes care of the company and the relationships in the circle.

The Xiang family's affairs with the outside world are basically Xiang Tai's face.

Seeing that the two brothers were looking at him, Xiang Tai snorted coldly:
"Although that white-eyed wolf annoys me, in the end it's just a deadbeat, if it was done before, it would have been trampled to death.

He knows how to hold his thighs, he is a villain in his bones, Hong Kong Island can't get along and he wants to go to the mainland to develop..."

Regarding Xiang Tai's cursing, the two brothers of the Xiang family didn't say anything, they knew Xiang Tai's temper very well.

Although the mouth is poisonous, it involves business and never makes irrational decisions out of anger.

Sure enough, after a while, Xiang Tai's scolding gradually stopped.

Panting heavily, he said to Xiang Huasheng:

"This time, that white-eyed wolf is lucky to sell Qin Sheng's face. If you speak out, we will settle the grievances between Xiang Jia and Zhou Xingxing. If directors, investors, and actors on Hong Kong Island are willing to cooperate with him, we Xiang Jia It doesn't matter."

"Got it, sister-in-law, I'll have someone do it tomorrow." Xiang Huasheng said immediately.

He didn't expect Mrs. Xiang to attach so much importance to Qin Muchu.

The "face" in Xiang Tai's mouth is not small. After Xiang Jia and Zhou Xingxing fell out, Xiang Taike said, "Whoever dares to cooperate with Zhou Xingxing is against Xiang Jia."

These words directly made Zhou Xingxing unable to film for two years. No one dared to cooperate with him whether he was an actor or a director.

And the company he founded after he left the Xiang family has become a joke—a film company with no film production.

"It's not tomorrow, it's right away. Let Qin Sheng know the news before the dinner."

Emphasize too much.

Suddenly she sighed again and said:
"Forget it, you are good at investing in movies, so let me do this kind of thing."

After all, she stood up and prepared to go to the other side to make a call.

"Thanks for your hard work."

He kept talking to Hua Qiang in silence, with a smile on his serious face.

"Work hard."

Xiang Tai replied, turned and walked away.

After Xiang Tai left, the two brothers picked up their teacups and took a sip of the cold tea.

"Brother, is that Qin Muchu worth our effort?" Xiang Huasheng asked.

Xiang Huaqiang put down the teacup:
"It depends on what you think. If you are satisfied like this and guard the territory of Hong Kong Island, then naturally you don't have to please anyone.

If we want to go further, Xiangjia has already done well in the entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island, so we can only develop in the mainland. "

He paused and sighed:
"The mainland is very xenophobic, and it is impossible for the company to go to the mainland, and even films wholly owned by Hong Kong Island cannot be released in the mainland.

The market on Hong Kong Island is only so big. In the future, actors will become more and more expensive, and the box office will only be so much. If the movie cannot be released in the mainland, it will be guaranteed.

You have to get online with the mainland, otherwise you will have to change careers in the future. "

Xiang Huasheng also knew the current predicament of the Hong Kong Island entertainment industry.

Big-name actors are paid millions or even tens of millions of dollars. If you invite two of them, the cost of the movie will exceed tens of millions.

Only relying on the local box office on Hong Kong Island can barely make up for it, and can't make much money.

As the producer of Yongsheng Film Company, he is very clear about this.

The series of "Gambler" and "Play Back to School" that he produced were very popular in the mainland, but the profits he got were pitifully small.

I only earned some DVD copyright fees.

The copyright fee is not much, because piracy is the mainstream.

"Qin Muchu has a great background in mainland China. If you can make friends with him, cooperate with him, and invest in his movies and TV shows, how much money can you make? Isn't Yang Shoucheng an example?

Moreover, we can also use this to enter the circle of the mainland, and the benefits will be even greater at that time. "

Xiang Huaqiang closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose to relieve his fatigue and stress.

The decline of the entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island is a foregone conclusion, which is something everyone knows well.

All people in the entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island are looking for opportunities to "go north" and shift their work focus to the mainland.

The earlier you go, the more benefits you will get; and the later you go, it doesn't matter whether you can drink the soup.

Maybe, I can't get through.

"Brother, in fact, I have a very useful way to make friends with Qin Muchu."

"any solution?"

Xiang Huaqiang opened his eyes instantly and looked at Xiang Huasheng.

Xiang Huasheng smiled:
"A 20-year-old young man with a strong body, what do you think he is most interested in?"

"You mean... yes, this method is good."

Xiang Huaqiang smiled, but quickly frowned again:

"Who are you sending it to? All of them belong to the owner, and he even took one away."

The actresses on Hong Kong Island are basically related to some rich men, many of whom Xiang Jia can't afford to provoke.

After all, he is only good in the entertainment industry, and the real top of Hong Kong Island is the capital of those business circles.

"Brother, at Yang Sheng's banquet that night, Qin Sheng seemed very interested in Ah Min."

While Xiang Huaqiang was thinking, Xiang Huasheng spoke.

"Zhang Min?"

Xiang Huaqiang froze for a moment, then looked at Xiang Huasheng.

"I don't care, it's just a woman, and I'm tired of it."

Xiang Huasheng shrugged, Zhang Min was spotted by Xiang Tai at the age of 19, signed a contract with Yongsheng, and has been with him for four years now.

The novelty has long since passed, and he is not only Zhang Min's lover outside.

But possessiveness is causing trouble, even if he doesn't like it, he won't allow others to touch it.

But it can be used to exchange benefits now, that is another matter.

"Okay, Ah Sheng, I will make it up to you."

Xiang Huaqiang was very satisfied with his younger brother's profound sense of righteousness, and picked up the teacup:
"Brother, I would like to offer you a glass of tea instead of wine."

……

hotel.

After the day's filming, Qin Muchu went back to the hotel to rest and get ready for the dinner at Xiang's house.

But he is not alone in his room now.

Zhou Xingxing sat at the desk, completely immersed in the script.

He had already read the script with tens of thousands of words all afternoon.

"How about it, are you interested?"

Qin Muchu handed over a bottle of soda, opened the bottle for himself, and drank with his head raised.

"It's a good book, and you also said that Supreme Treasure is a friend of yours."

Zhou Xingxing reluctantly put down the script, feeling a little sad.

The Supreme Treasure in the script is simply himself, and his love with Zixia ended in tragedy, and he regretted it in the end, which is more like hinting at his love.

Shaking his head, he smiled wryly and took a sip of soda:
"Love for 1 years turns out to be the meaning of it. Only after losing it do I want to love for 1 years..."

"Excellent, I can drink soda like wine."

Qin Muchu laughed.

"A Chinese Journey to the West" can be regarded as Zhou Xingxing's most representative work.

The status in Qin Muchu's heart even surpasses "Kung Fu" and other works of Star Master.

Many lines and famous scenes in the movie are still remembered decades later, and many movies and TV shows pay tribute to it.

"I want to shoot, Chu Tsai."

Zhou Xingxing spoke suddenly, holding the script tightly with his hands, with a serious expression on his face.

He really wanted to make this movie, to say to someone what he couldn't say.

"It was originally your script."

Except for Zhou Xingxing, no one can grasp this nonsensical performance style.

After a long silence, Zhou Xingxing looked at Qin Muchu, murmured in a low voice:

"Thank you, really thank you."

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, Qin Muchu went to the banquet alone.

The location is in a well-known restaurant on Hong Kong Island. It is said that the chef has the title of "God of Chef" on Hong Kong Island.

Xiang Jia booked the best box in the restaurant tonight.

It overlooks the beautiful scenery of Hong Kong Island, and at night, it is lit up with neon lights.

Qin Muchu walked into the box led by the waiter.

"Sorry, I'm late."

The box is very large, a large round table is enough to accommodate 20 people, but at this time there are only four people sitting.

He knew both Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng. Qin Muchu also guessed that the woman sitting next to Xiang Huaqiang was Mrs. Xiang, who was well-known in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. As for the last one...

With a sexy figure and a charming appearance, she was looking at him with a smile.

Why is Zhang Min here?
Qin Muchu glanced at Hua Sheng, then at Zhang Min.

Is this a success?

It's... so inspiring!
Seeing Qin Muchu walk in, all four people in the private room stood up.

As the inviter, Xiang Huasheng walked up to Qin Muchu and introduced him:
"This is my brother Xiang Huaqiang, and this is my sister-in-law."

When Zhang Min was introduced at the end, his tone changed, not only did he smile strangely, but also what he said made Qin Muchu very puzzled:
"Zhang Min knows Qin Sheng. He is an artist of our company. He admires Qin Sheng too much. He wants to get in touch with Qin Sheng more and get acquainted with him."

Admiration, more contact, familiarity.

Qin Muchu felt that there was something in Xiang Huasheng's words, but he didn't understand what it meant.

Isn't Zhang Min one of his people?

Let her get in touch with other men and get acquainted...

Thinking of the boss and rich wives he met at Boss Yang's villa that night, Qin Muchu became indifferent.

Hong Kong Island is indeed open.

Several people exchanged polite greetings and sat down.

"Qin Sheng, sit here."

Xiang Huasheng pulled out a chair for Qin Muchu and arranged for him to sit down.

The face is enough.

"Mr. Xiang is too polite."

Qin Muchu smiled and sat down.

Courtesy to people, there must be something to ask for.

What Xiang Jia could ask of him was nothing more than movies.

For this, he has already prepared a "gift in return", so he feels at ease to accept this "gift"...

However, in the next second, Qin Muchu became restless:

"You sit here?"

He looked at Zhang Min who was sitting next to him.

This woman is so brave, dare to do this in front of her lover?

"Can't you just sit here?"

The corners of Zhang Min's mouth curled into a touching curve, his eyes stared at Qin Muchu, and he blinked coquettishly.

Qin Muchu looked at Huasheng.

I said that she and I are innocent, do you believe it or not?
"Haha, Qin Sheng, Ah Min admires you very much, you must sit closer."

Xiang Huasheng laughed, then looked at Zhang Min:
"Ah Min, you sit close, you have to take good care of Qin Sheng tonight."

Zhang Min looked at Hua Sheng, the light in his eyes changed, and he said slowly:
"Don't worry, I will take good care of Qin Sheng."

Qin Muchu glanced across the faces of the two of them, wanting to make sure if they were speaking ironically in a fit of anger.

Finally came to a conclusion - not too angry.

Are the rich people on Hong Kong Island so generous?
"Is Qin Sheng coming to Hong Kong Island for the first time?"

Xiang Tai's voice brought Qin Muchu back to his senses.

"No, it's the second time. I visited here once last year."

"At that time, it would be great if we knew each other, and we could do our best as landlords. There are many really interesting places on Hong Kong Island, and people who are not familiar with them will not know."

Xiang Tai looked very sorry, but smiled again the next moment:

"But now that we know each other, when Qin Sheng's film is finished, we will definitely give us a chance."

Actually, I just want to know if Fenglou is real.

Qin Muchu was thinking in his heart, but there was a smile on his face:
"There is a chance."

In the private room, the three members of the Xiang family and Qin Muchu kept chatting, talking about a lot of interesting things about the entertainment circle on Hong Kong Island, and the atmosphere was very active.

Even Xiang Huaqiang, who has always been taciturn, said a lot.

But no one said anything serious, it seemed that today's banquet was really just to get to know each other and make friends.

Looking at the three members of the Xiang family who were extremely kind, Zhang Min's charming eyes shone brightly.

She turned her head to look at Qin Muchu, it seems that this young man's background is bigger than she imagined, otherwise Xiang Jia, the emperor of Hong Kong Island's entertainment industry, would not be so polite.

No wonder Xiang Huasheng sent himself out to please him.

but.

This is exactly what I want...
