Chapter 188 Became a Tool of Revenge
Acting is better than directing, Qi Weizhi has a certain selfishness in persuading Zhang Guorong to be the director himself.

If "Suspect" becomes Zhang Guorong's first self-directed and self-acted film, it will be good for the promotion of Qi Wei's website and the future release of this film.

More importantly, well-known directors generally have their own professional behind-the-scenes team. If they are invited to direct, there will be no chance to make use of it. Let Zhang Guorong be the director himself. If he wants to form a new behind-the-scenes team, Qi Wei can arrange his own company. behind the scenes.

As Qi Wei told him, there are many excellent behind-the-scenes personnel in the mainland, but they lack opportunities, and Qi Wei is willing to give them opportunities.

"How much investment do you think the filming of "Suspect" needs?" Zhang Guorong asked.

"A professional person from my company made a proposal for this project. To turn this novel into a film and television, at least an investment of more than 600 million yuan is required. However, if there are well-known actors participating in the performance, the cost may be much higher. , probably over ten million." Qi Wei found a document from his bag and handed it to Zhang Guorong, then looked at him.

Leslie Cheung looked at Qi Wei and couldn't help laughing, only then did he realize that Qi Wei had come prepared.

I was fished by Jiang Taigong, and those who wish to take the bait.

But no matter what, he really liked this novel and the selfless love in this novel. He took the document handed over by Qi Wei and carefully read the project plan.

After reading it carefully for a few minutes, he nodded and agreed with the project proposal, and then asked Qi Wei: "If I can invite some friends to play at a friendly price and control the cost to less than 1000 million, can you help me?" How much investment do I get?"

"My company can invest 500 million in this movie."

According to the general practice of film investment, Qi Wei invested half of the funds in this film, so he can get the distribution rights of this film in the mainland.

For the rest of the funds, since Zhang Guorong is a Hong Kong resident, he is likely to invest in Hong Kong City, so the distribution rights of Hong Kong City will be handed over to the investors of Hong Kong City.

Other overseas income is divided according to the investment ratio.

Zhang Guorong is one of the Hong Kong stars who has collaborated the most with mainland filmmakers. From "Farewell My Concubine" in the early years to the recently released "Red Lover", he has participated in many mainland movies.

Maybe he and many movie stars in Hong Kong are more famous than box office appeal, but after all, he has participated in so many movies in the mainland, and he is already familiar with the mainland.

No matter how bleak the mainland film market is next year, his films will be able to sell at least 1000 million at the box office in the mainland.

This is a conservative estimate.

If the income from DVDs and other income can be operated effectively, Qi Wei's 500 million investment can be recovered by relying on the mainland market alone.

There is a high probability of being profitable.

Coupled with the fame accumulated in Japan and South Korea through films such as "The True Colors of Heroes" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the early years, and the core of the movie "Suspect" is very suitable for the tastes of Japanese and Korean audiences. Japan and South Korea can also be sold.

This is a project with a high probability of making money or even making a lot of money.

"500 million, that's enough, I'll take care of the rest." Zhang Guorong finally said with satisfaction.

With Zhang Guorong's good reputation in Hong Kong City, it is more than enough to attract 500 million investment.

Besides, he himself is not short of money, and he made a lot of money from the concert just now.

Qi Wei is willing to take the risk of investing 500 million in this self-directed and self-acted film. In fact, he also intends to invest part of it himself.

After Qi Wei and Zhang Guorong chatted about some details about "Suspect", the princess who went to the bathroom for a long time finally returned.

"I don't know what I ate today, and I have indigestion." She said apologetically, but in fact, she went to the toilet to make a long phone call.

She asked again: "You guys chatted so happily, what did you talk about?"

"Are you sure she is suitable for that role?" Qi Wei asked Zhang Guorong with a smile
In "Suspect", there is a heroine who divorced her ex-husband and lives alone with her daughter.

When Qi Wei asked this question, Leslie Cheung couldn't help but look at the princess.

Princess Wang is currently the most popular female singer in China. Although her career is centered on music, she is also very interested in making movies.

As early as 94, she participated in Wang Sunjing's "Chongqing Forest".

She performed very well in this movie. With her reputation, it is very common for Hong Kong stars to live in movies and songs. Logically speaking, she is not short of movie invitations.

But in fact, after filming "Chungking Forest", she has not made any other films so far.

This has nothing to do with the sunset of Hong Kong movies. Not only him, but the frequency of filming by well-known movie stars in a year has also dropped significantly compared to the peak period. Faced with a situation where there is no film to film.

Of course, this is also related to the appearance of the princess. The princess looks pretty good, but she can't stand being too tall.

Her height of 1.7 meters will put a lot of pressure on the actor who plays him.

You must know that when filming "A Chinese Ghost Story", a certain actress surnamed Wang was rejected by the producer because she was too tall.

The actress is too tall and not very good.

Just like the heroine in the movie "The Suspect", she must be relatively weak in appearance, otherwise she would not have been bullied by her ex-father all the time. The princess is so tall, it doesn't fit her.

For Zhang Guorong, who wanted to make "Suspect" perfect, he directly rejected Qi Wei's suggestion after a little consideration.

He has a very good candidate in his mind, and Mei Yanfang, who has cooperated with him many times and has a good relationship, is very good.

Of course, Qi Wei will also recommend a few people when Zhang Guorong establishes the "Suspect" project and begins to select actors.

For example, Xu Qing and Yu Feihong are two senior sisters, their age is actually quite suitable.

Especially Yu Feihong, with her abstinence-like appearance, she seemed a little submissive and wanted to be bullied.

Qi Wei also misses her a lot.

With Zhang Guorong's character, he definitely wouldn't say some words of refusal in person. He immediately changed the topic and said with a smile: "What else can we talk about. Girl, you and Qi Wei have known each other for so long, so you should know what he is Character, he asked me to introduce the goddess."

"Oh? Whom does Qi Wei want to introduce to you?" Sure enough, the princess' attention was attracted, and she asked curiously.

"Who else, you, you are his goddess." Zhang Guorong looked at Qi Wei and asked with a smile: "Isn't it?"

From the perspective of singing, Qi Wei really likes the singing voice of the princess, and it would be nice to say that she is a goddess.

But in that respect, Qi Wei really has no idea about her.

Qi Wei coughed twice, with an embarrassing smile on his face, and quickly said, "Brother, don't talk nonsense."

In the past, the married princess might have taken this as a joke.

But this time is different.

She already has a natural affection for talented musicians, and she was able to show love and courtesy before, but now she doesn't care about these anymore, and she still has a revenge mentality.

She took a sip of her afternoon tea, peeked at Qi Wei with desire, and then said with a smile: "My brother invited you before, and you kept letting me go in the capital, and today I managed to catch you , I won't let you go so easily."

Qi Wei instantly understood what was going on, and it seemed that he couldn't escape tonight.

"Then I will risk my life to accompany the gentleman tonight." Qi Wei said helplessly.

"Haha, tonight I'm going to kill the Quartet!"

"It's okay, but you have to make up for what you owe me tonight."

"I know, I will definitely make it up, don't worry."

After calling her teacher Zhou to explain the situation, she kindly agreed with Qi Wei and Zhang Guorong to play mahjong.

It's just playing mahjong, can something else happen?

Besides, although Zheng Donghan promised to handle Mr. Zhou's affairs well, no matter how strong the public relations ability is, it will take time for the matter to cool down. During this time, there are still many reporters and paparazzi outside Mr. Zhou's house.

It's not easy for Qi Wei to go to her place either.

They had a meal together and gathered at Zhang Guorong's single-family mansion in Kadoorie Hill in the evening.

Leslie Cheung called Mei Yanfang, one of his partners, over, and the relationship between the two of them was really good, and they were really on call.

Then everyone started rubbing mahjong lively.

Qi Wei, who had played a few games of mahjong with them, was already familiar with the Guangdong mahjong routines. Although he was not as good as those masters, he still wasn't unable to deal with the rookies in front of him.

But at the mahjong table, Qi Wei didn't have such a high desire to win.

So Qi Wei still chooses to play poker with worldly sophistication.

I don't know how many rounds he played, Zhang Guorong's fingers kept rubbing against the mahjong, his whole body was so nervous that he was shaking, and even the cigarette in his hand began to smoke frequently.

With this appearance, the other three people on the poker table looked at each other, they all knew that Zhang Guorong had caught a good card this time, they exchanged winks, and they knew each other.

In addition, Zhang Guorong didn't play Yaojiu and wind in this round, and anyone with a discerning eye knows what he is going to play.

Thirteen!

There were nine cards in the starting hand, and he was drawn after only a few cards. He hadn't drawn such a smooth thirteen-yao card for several months.

Originally, Qi Wei was playing the card of human feelings and sophistication, so he wanted to fulfill him.

But it shouldn't be too obvious.

After a few laps, seeing that Zhang Guorong was unable to play cards for a long time, Qi Wei saw that the time was ripe.

"Ten thousand!"

As soon as Qi Wei played this card, Zhang Guorong, who was extremely nervous, took a deep breath, and the end of the cigarette in his mouth was also lit up.

He directly threw half of the cigarettes into the ashtray, and shouted: "I'm crazy! Thirteen!"

Then hurriedly reversed.

But the concubine in front of him laughed, and said with a proud face: "Haha, I'm messed up too, stop it!"

Zhang Guorong's joy turned into sadness in an instant.

Not reconciled, he began to check the fallen cards of the princess, and he found a problem.

"You are a two-four-five barrel, not a straight, you are a fried beard!"

When everyone saw it, it really was fried.

"Huh! Really, it's impossible." After checking several times, the princess also looked puzzled.

"Did you do it on purpose!" Zhang Guorong asked anxiously.

"Of course not, I'm just a little dazzled."

"You've drank so much, it's normal that your eyes are dazzled, and it's understandable. Everyone said it's right, we'll give you a chance."

Although Wang Hao can drink well, she has been drinking since she first entered the poker table. A few hours have passed, her face has already been smudged red, and she looks drunk.

"I have no objection." Qi Wei smiled and gave up.

The same is true for Mei Yanfang.

"I don't want it, I will blow it up, I will lose money, anyway, I won so much today." But the princess disagreed.

Then Zhang Guorong deliberately said angrily: "Anyway, I'm a little Hu, and I won't let you do what I want if I lose as much money as Thirteen."

As she spoke, she began to take out the money.

"You! You! We can do more than this, let's wait and see!"

The concubine playing mahjong is the best of the best. If it wasn't for Qi Wei's intentional shooting of the favor card, she wouldn't be able to win.

Now she really drank a little too much, and she made frequent mistakes when she was drunk.

The winners were quickly lost, and a lot was lost.

At the beginning, Zhang Guorong still had the pleasure of "revenge and revenge", but soon felt boring.

Seeing that the time is past two o'clock in the morning, it's almost the same.

So Zhang Guorong said: "Let's end here for tonight."

But the concubine disagreed, she yelled loudly: "Didn't you say it's a good night's sleep? You've won and you want to run away!"

"As far as you are in this state, I am just afraid that you will lose more."

"How would you know if you didn't hit me?"

"I don't want to take advantage of others' danger and win without fighting."

Although the princess was unwilling, but under everyone's persuasion, the game ended.

But she made a request.

She didn't want to stay with Zhang Guorong for one night, she insisted on going home, and asked Qi Wei to see her off.

"It's okay, her house is not far from you, I'll go back as soon as I go." Qi Wei agreed to her request.

In the car, she chatted with Qi Wei to find a topic, but soon, she fell asleep under the influence of drunkenness.

Even when she got home, she wouldn't wake up no matter how Qi Wei called her.

As a last resort, Qi Wei could only support her.

"key!"

Seeing that she didn't respond, Qi Wei found the key from her bag and opened the door of her house, then helped her into the bedroom.

After taking care of her for a while and covering her with the quilt, Qi Wei was about to leave, but she held her hand.

She looked at Qi Wei with wide eyes.

"Are you so relieved that a drunk woman is alone at home?" she asked.

"Aren't you awake? The consciousness is still so clear, there should be no problem."

Qi Wei even suspected that she had pretended to be asleep before.

"You can't leave!" she said unwillingly to let go.

"Ok?"

"Am I not good-looking?" she asked suddenly.

"That's not true, where is this going!" Qi Wei already understood what he meant.

"So you should also have feelings for me." She looked at Qi Wei and asked again: "Do you have any concerns?"

"You are a married woman." Qi Wei only said one sentence.

"Isn't that teacher Zhou of yours?" She actually knew the relationship between Qi Wei and Zhou Huimin very well.

"She's not like you."

"What's the difference? The relationship between her and the previous few years is just an extra piece of paper for us."

She smiled wryly and continued: "Besides, I have decided to divorce him."

"Huh?" Although it was reported in the news that they had some discord, and even cooperated with her because of his bad reputation in this area, and involved himself, Qi Wei was still a little shocked when she said it himself.

"nothing dealing with you."

There was more hatred on her face and she continued: "You know how much I gave up for him and gave birth to him for him, but he treated me like that, you know when I opened the door of his bedroom and looked at him and others Am I so mad at the woman who is doing mediocre things on the bed?"

Marrying him and having a child when he was in full bloom was really courageous and sacrificed a lot.

"Well, he just made a mistake that a man should make. You see, Big Brother Long is still not like this. In fact, I am not much better."

Qi Wei didn't excuse him, but just wanted to persuade the princess to be rational.

"Anyway, I won't forgive him. I'm divorced from this marriage."

Speaking of which, she got up and hugged Qi Wei's waist, then looked at Qi Wei's face and said: "I want to take revenge on him, and I also want to make his mistakes."

"I don't want to be your tool to take revenge on her."

"No, actually I have a good impression of you. I just hid this affection before, but now I have no scruples. I want to release my desire for you!"

"But."

"Don't you want to invite me to sing with you again in your new album? Please ask Zheng Donghan, I won't necessarily give him face."

She had already got up and stood up, looking at Qi Wei close at hand.

"You have to convince me yourself, you know what I mean."

Seeing that Qi Wei was still a little hesitant, she yelled at Qi Wei without bothering.

"Are you still a man?"

Well, this sentence successfully "irritated" Qi Wei.

Qi Wei threw her on the bed without saying a word.

"Haha! That's it"

Slowly she fell into obsession.
