Chapter 254 I will fulfill my responsibility

Qi Wei always gets a good release from Zhang Tong, and this time is no exception.

But Qi Wei still got up early the next day.

I have no choice but to delay my work. I have already planned to fly to Hong Kong City today.

After leaving Zhang Tong's apartment, Qi Wei drove to the airport. After meeting Lin Xilei and other entourage at the airport, he got on the plane bound for Hong Kong City.

At around one o'clock in the afternoon, Qi Wei arrived at the port city.

At the airport, the pick-up personnel sent by Zheng Donghan had been waiting for a long time. After getting on the vehicle arranged by Universal Music, it didn't take long for Qi Wei to arrive at the Universal Music Port City branch.

Zheng Donghan seemed very happy to see Qi Wei again. After he hugged and shook hands with Qi Wei and exchanged warm greetings, he said with a smile:
"I have already arranged everything you told me. If things go quickly, the production of your new album will be completed by the end of this month."

In fact, so far, Qi Wei's new album has not filmed the MVs for the two songs "Little Dimple" and "Scoundrel".

The Cantonese song "Scoundrel" is one of the main songs promoted by Qi Wei's new album in Hong Kong, so the MV for this song is relatively more complicated than "Little Dimple".

Photography will take more time.

But it only takes a day or two more.
Today is already April 4th, and there are only 26 days left in this month including today. With the high efficiency of the filming crew in Hong Kong City, 5 days are enough to finish filming the MVs of these two songs.

Of course, Qi Wei has not told Zheng Donghan about his decision to add the song "Chi Ling" to the new album. After all, it is not yet May, and that international event has not happened yet.

Qi Wei smiled and thanked: "Without you, Mr. Zheng, my new production would not be so efficient. Thank you very much, Mr. Zheng."

"We are all our own people, you don't have to be so polite." Zheng Donghan laughed.

Whether it was Qi Wei's attitude or his cooperation with him, Zheng Donghan was quite satisfied.

The two walked inside while chatting. When passing by the recording studio, Qi Wei noticed that Zhong Xintong was recording songs inside.

Qi Wei walked in curiously, but did not disturb her. Instead, he listened carefully with headphones in front of the soundproof window.

And it was the song "Little Dimple" that Chung Xintong recorded.

This song is not difficult, but in order not to make mistakes, Zhong Xintong practiced it many times in private, and she also recorded it several times in the studio.

Now, although she has adapted to the rhythm of recording songs and is no longer nervous, she always shows an expression of relief every time she finishes recording.

The same is true now.

After recording the song, Zhong Xintong breathed a long sigh of relief. Perhaps she was so focused on recording the song that she didn't notice Qi Wei's arrival.

But now, Zhong Xintong, who had just calmed down, turned around and saw Qi Wei wearing headphones in front of the soundproof window, looking at him with a smile, and immediately became nervous.

Because Qi Wei is her boss and the person she admires.

Zhong Xintong knew that Qi Wei would come to Hong Kong today, so she specially came to the company to record songs today.

She thought she was ready to meet Qi Wei, but when she actually saw Qi Wei, she still seemed a little at a loss.

Zhong Xintong walked up to Qi Wei with her face red and her head slightly lowered. She was so shy that she didn't know how to strike up a conversation.

It was Qi Wei who said first: "You sing very well. This is the effect I want, and I am very satisfied."

"Thank you." Zhong Xintong was stunned for a moment and then looked happy. She was very happy to be recognized by Qi Wei.

Qi Wei nodded and said: "You have made great progress. I can see that you have been working hard. You are very good."

"After all, you trust me so much, I can't betray your trust." The introverted Zhong Xintong mustered up the courage to say.

Seeing that Qi Wei didn't reply for a long time, Zhong Xintong mustered up the courage to raise her head, and then she realized that Qi Wei's eyes were looking at her.

The eyes were a little unscrupulous and a little hot. The moment they looked at each other, Zhong Xintong suddenly felt the little deer in her heart racing, and then she lowered her head shyly.

"Is there something on my face?" she asked, holding her face in her hands, feeling her face burning.

Qi Wei shook his head slightly, but did not stop looking at her, and said with a smile: "I just feel that you are much more beautiful than before."

"Is it?"

Zhong Xintong thought it was the effect of putting on special makeup today, but in fact, it was because she was already pregnant.

After all, men, no matter what their age, like girls, and Qi Wei is no exception.

Qi Wei nodded with a smile, while the blush on Zhong Xintong's face had reached the roots of her ears.

"Don't forget that we will shoot the MV for this song together tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it."

At this time, Zhong Xintong was extremely shy. When she just plucked up the courage to look up at Qi Wei and wanted to say "I'm looking forward to it too," she found that Qi Wei had already walked away.

This made her a little regretful.

But thinking about meeting Qi Wei again tomorrow, my mood quickly improved again.

"Brother, I didn't expect to see you here." The reason why Qi Wei didn't chat more with Zhong Xintong was because he saw Zhang Guorong walking towards him.

"This is also my company, okay?" After ending his cooperation with Rolling Stone Records, Leslie Cheung chose to cooperate with Zheng Donghan again and "transferred ownership" with him to Universal Records.

However, Leslie Cheung has temporarily put his music career aside because he has to prepare for "Suspect", so he rarely visits Universal Music Group recently. Today's visit is also because Qi Wei came to Hong Kong.

"From your tone, it sounds like you don't want to see me." Leslie Cheung joked.

"How could it be? I was planning to visit you after talking to Mr. Zheng. You don't know how happy I am to see you here."

Qi Wei replied with a smile, and then said seriously: "Thank you, brother, for agreeing to be my concert guest."

Although Qi Wei's records are selling well in Hong Kong, because of his identity as a mainland singer, Qi Wei's popularity in Hong Kong is still far less than that of Leslie Cheung.

Qi Wei holds a concert in Hong Kong and Leslie Cheung is willing to be a guest, which is definitely an added advantage.

"Do you need to be so polite about our relationship? I treat you like a younger brother, but I didn't expect that you always treat me like an outsider." Zhang Guorong pretended to be displeased.

"Uh"

"Haha, I'm kidding you." Zhang Guorong laughed loudly, patted Qi Wei on the shoulder, and said: "I didn't expect you to be able to hold a concert in the Hong Kong Coliseum, and hold five concerts in a row. Congratulations. ."

After all, no mainland singer has held a solo concert at the Hung Hom Stadium in Hong Kong City before, and Qi Wei is considered the number one in the mainland.

"What does this mean? I still want to break your record of holding a concert in the Coliseum, brother."

Holding a concert at Hung Hom Stadium is difficult for some singers, but easy for others.

For example, Zhang Guorong, he is one of the singers who have given the most concerts at the Hung Hom Stadium, and he has held hundreds of concerts so far.

In the early 90s, when Leslie Cheung held his farewell concert, he even held 33 concerts in a row at the Hung Hom Stadium, directly breaking the record.Qi Wei is still far from it.

"Then I'm looking forward to it." Although he said so, Zhang Guorong didn't think so.

Because they have been together for so long, Zhang Guorong knows Qi Wei quite well.

After all, Qi Wei has no plans to develop in the port city.

As a foreign singer, Qi Wei's popularity in Hong Kong is on the rise, but it is not enough to support him to hold so many concerts.

The two chatted for a while, and after finding a reason to leave the others, they found a quiet place and chatted about other things.

"I've almost finished preparations for "Suspect". If nothing else goes wrong, it will start shooting next month. However, the heroine has not yet been determined. Do you have any suitable candidates?"

At present, Hong Kong films still belong to the category of imported films, but now the number of imported films is limited to ten per year.

The number of imported films is limited, and due to Qi Wei's previous relationship with Han Sanping, "The King of Comedy" has already been released in the mainland, and it is no longer possible to introduce another Hong Kong film to the mainland.

If "Suspect" wants to be released in the mainland, there is only one way, and that is a co-production.

"Suspect" was originally adapted from a novel on Qi Wei's website, and Leslie Cheung himself has been actively cooperating with the mainland, so he didn't care at all if it was changed to a co-production.

But for co-productions, due to local protection policies, a certain proportion of the crew and actors behind the scenes are mainland filmmakers.

In the drama "Suspect", Leslie Cheung had previously invited Qi Wei to play the second male lead, the policeman, but Qi Wei declined.

The reason is not that Qi Wei doesn't want to film this drama or can't squeeze in the schedule. In fact, Qi Wei is thinking about Zhang Guorong.

At this time, Hong Kong filmmakers initiated co-productions. They just wanted to enter the mainland market and get a share of the pie. They actually did not want to use mainland actors.

Even if there are restrictions on co-productions, the most they can do is reluctantly give her a heroine.

Mainland actors are basically not seen as leading actors or important male supporting actors in co-production films.

If Qi Wei agrees to Leslie Cheung to play the second male lead in "The Suspect", this will invisibly break this unspoken rule, which will arouse dissatisfaction and hostility from colleagues in Hong Kong.

Although now is not the time to break this unspoken rule, Qi Wei doesn't care, but Zhang Guorong is different. After all, he is still hanging around in the Hong Kong circle.

After all, Zhang Guorong is Qi Wei's good friend, and Qi Wei has to consider him.

Since Qi Wei will not play the second male lead, the female lead must be a mainland actress.

For the movie "Suspect", Zhang Guorong secured half of the investment through his good reputation in the industry, and Qi Wei helped make up the rest of the investment, so Zhang Guorong handed over the choice of the heroine to Qi Wei. .

Qi Wei thought for a moment and then replied: "My company has several good candidates, all of whom are suitable. I will send you the information when the time comes, and you can choose the most suitable one."

The heroine of "Suspect" is a divorced woman in her 30s, and she has had relationships with several actresses of similar age, Qi Wei.

The first is Xu Qing. She had previously filmed "Song of Qin" and it was released in Hong Kong City. Although this movie failed at the box office in Hong Kong City, at least it was an appearance in Hong Kong City.

Another one is Yu Feihong, who collaborated with Liu Tianwang on a movie "Heaven and Earth" as early as 94, which was also screened in Hong Kong.

Of course, actresses who are not mature enough or young enough can also be recommended. For example, Mei Ting, who is in her 20s, played a couple with Leslie Cheung in "Red Lovers" without any sense of incompatibility.

In fact, there are several women like this around Qi Wei, such as Zuo Xiaoqing and Zhang Tong. They are both majestic and mature women, and Qi Wei also plans to recommend them to Leslie Cheung.

"So do you think one of them is the most suitable?" Zhang Guorong asked.

Among the recommended women, Qi Wei felt that Yu Feihong was the most suitable.

However, the palms and backs of his hands were all flesh, so Qi Wei was not prepared to overstep his authority in deciding the candidate.

He couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said: "Brother, you are the director and the leading actor. It is you who plays with them, not me. Among them, you can choose whoever you think is the best match. You don't have to consider me. I don't opinion.”

"That's it, okay, then please send me their information quickly so that I can decide on the candidate as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll call Beijing later and ask someone from my company to send the information."

That's how it was settled.

Zhang Guorong suddenly thought of something, laughed and said, "I haven't played mahjong with you for a long time. I have already made an appointment with some poker friends. Let's have a good battle tonight."

"Not tonight. I have to shoot the MV tomorrow. I have to get up early tomorrow morning."

"Then let's rub it until one or two o'clock."

But Qi Wei still shook his head, "Someday, I have something else to do tonight."

"What, are you anxious to see Vivian?"

Vivian is Zhou Huimin's English name. Her friends here in Hong Kong like to call her her English name, but Qi Wei prefers to call her Teacher Zhou.

"Well, you know the reason." Qi Wei admitted directly.

In Hong Kong City, the person Qi Wei trusted the most was Zhang Guorong. After Zhou Huimin informed Qi Wei that she was pregnant with the child, Qi Wei called Zhang Guorong and asked him to help take care of him.

Zhang Guorong readily agreed, and was very dedicated.

The paparazzi even photographed Leslie Cheung entering and leaving Zhou Huimin's apartment several times, and even staged a scandal.

At that time, Qi Wei felt dumbfounded when he saw the news, but he didn't care. After all, Leslie Cheung's relationship was very stable.

"I really don't understand how you coaxed Vivian into giving birth to your child willingly."

When Zhang Guorong first heard the news, he couldn't believe his ears.

Zhang Guorong never thought about the possibility of Qi Wei and Zhou Huimin. After all, they are nearly ten years apart, and the age gap is not easy to ignore.

So even if they are together, Leslie Cheung doesn't think they can last long.

I originally thought that the two of them were just playing around. Even if Zhou Huimin was pregnant, Zhang Guorong thought that he had gone too far. However, while helping Qi Wei take care of Zhou Huimin, Zhang Guorong discovered that this was not the case.

Both seemed to expect this child to be of ordinary origin.

"How could it be deception? I am sincere to her."

These words came from the mouth of a playboy. Leslie Cheung didn't believe it at all. He rolled his eyes at Qi Wei and said, "You can deceive yourself by saying this, you don't have to deceive me."

Zhang Guorong then said earnestly: "Vivian is a good woman. I hope you will not let him down or let down the child in her belly."

"Well, I know, I will fulfill my responsibility." Qi Wei promised with a serious look.

After finishing the chat with Leslie Cheung, Qi Wei went to Zhou Huimin's apartment.
