Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 113

When the mood strikes, there is no choice.

Originally, I hadn't thought about breaking the soil to seal the mortar, but who made Li Zi take the initiative to explain: she and Ma Bozi have not officially confirmed their relationship?

It just so happened that during this period, the Ma family's Dongfang Newspaper Company had been stimulating sales by fabricating news about Zhen Jiecheng.

I'm sorry, Zhen Jiecheng can't suffer in vain!
Zhen Jiecheng had no psychological burden at all as he had penetrated Sister Zi before Ma Bozi did.

This guy was once nicknamed the second generation of lame rich in Hong Kong, of course not just because of his "lame" nature.

As a family that started out selling laundry detergent, his father, his uncle, and Bo Hao were known as the three major laundry detergent tycoons of the Chaozhou Gang.

The Ma family is also one of the four major families described in related film and television dramas!

In 78, his father and uncle were wanted and fled to Taiwan.

However, the Ma family's "legal" industries are still there, and they are busy transforming themselves.

In the same year that Ma Bozi's father passed away, Ma Bozi chose to "actively" resign and start his own business, and Dongfang Newspaper was completely controlled by his brothers.

Since then, Ma Bozi has been extremely low-key in his daily life, but has been extremely "active" in participating in social activities.

At the same time, taking advantage of the trend of "unity", we joined the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan affairs organized by Guangdong Province to support economic development and construction.

Tsk tsk tsk!
As a rich man filled with money that is both black and white, how dare he not be "active"?

But behind the "positivity" is the "low-key" purchase of properties in the Kangaroo Country in preparation for a retreat.

This kind of stuff!

Zhen Jiecheng is not sure whether Li Zi will continue to be with him in the future.

But this does not prevent Zhen Jiecheng from widening the lane first!
"sister!"

"Come up!"

"Come again!"

"Sister, I will return to the capital as soon as I am done with my work!"

"Sister, I am so wronged. It is true that people are despised when they leave their hometown. People in Hong Kong are so bullying!"

"Sister, there are more than 20 old women, some of whom are older than my mother! Do you know how they slandered me? In just a few days, I slept with all of them!"

"I just had afternoon tea with Li Zi yesterday, and today's headline is that I work day and night, and that's based on the premise that I said goodbye to Guan Zhilin yesterday at noon, sent Li Lizhen away yesterday morning, and contacted Li Jiaxin the night before yesterday, etc."

"Fuck! Spreading rumors is totally illogical. Even if I were an iron-clad warrior, I can't produce so much surplus grain!"

Zhen Jiecheng was holding the phone with saliva flying everywhere, his frustration was obvious, and Li Pingbin was stunned.

Damn! Are you talking about Sanxiao?
If Li Pingbin had not seen with his own eyes Li Zi leaving the hotel in a lazy and tired manner, he would have almost believed it!
Sure enough, every good director is a good actor and has the potential to become a movie emperor!

And this guy Zhen Jiecheng is even more amazing. Three points are true, seven points are false, and ninety points are sincere.

No one can find any mistakes in his words!

Even if the "truth" is discovered in the future, looking back and analyzing it carefully, it will be found that it was just my misunderstanding, not that Zhen Jiecheng was lying.

By North!

Is this too strong?

Li Pingbin was amazed.

For a moment, I actually felt quite regretful that I was born too early. I couldn't meet Zhen Jiecheng at an age full of motivation and learn these profound and easy-to-understand skills and principles.

"Sister, I've come to terms with it now!"

"Anyway, no matter how eloquent I am, I can't defend myself."

"Just love it!"

"It is nothing more than making the moral foundation, which already has no white spots, even darker. It is not even making the situation worse."

"Don't worry, sister. I'm just a little upset, but I'm not feeling too bad now."

"I don't want to chat with you anymore. I'm going to eat. Bye, sis."

After the call ended, Zhen Jiecheng raised his head.

I was surprised to see Li Pingbin bending down with his head down, listening attentively, and his fifty-year-old face was full of admiration.

"Teacher Li, what's that expression on your face?"

"Ah? No, nothing!" Li Pingbin hurriedly shook his head, stood up straight, and quickly adjusted his expression.

"I just think that there is a sequence in learning and there are specializations in skills, that's all."

"Han Changli is not lying to me. He is a man who never stops learning!"

As he spoke, he shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and walked away.

Looking at Li Pingbin's back, Zhen Jiecheng curled his lips.

Did you hear that it is salty? Did you hear that the infusion is drilling? Did you hear that it is just wet?

This old guy keeps spouting one little rhyme after another. Do you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination?
But for Zhen Jiecheng, the latter is fine, and hearing the truth is fine.

Not everyone is as confident as Milk Tea, who can sing affectionately in "Later": I lowered my head and smelled a fragrance.

Let Mr. Huang handle the task of referring to salty food as fragrant; Zhen Jiecheng can’t learn it!
Li Zi didn't leave for too long.

I said goodbye hurriedly in the morning, and returned to the hotel carefully avoiding the paparazzi in the evening.

I spent too much time last night.
He is also very eloquent and his tricks come from his mouth.

He sat and discussed the truth, and moved his stocks to find a way.

He was servile and submissive again, trying to bring people in.

After three hours of work, I didn't get much sleep. After a good nap during the day, I felt refreshed.

"Jiecheng, it's only been a day, why are you..." Lizi blinked her big eyes, looking very touching, "Jiecheng, listen to my advice."

"Although you are young, you can't be too willful."

"Can you let your sister take a break?"

"Ahem! Sister, please don't wrongly accuse me. I asked you to come here for something serious!"

"Serious business? You're just fooling me!" Li Zi rolled her eyes. "It was yesterday! At the beginning you were very serious and talked about serious topics. But as we were talking, you led me astray. By the time I realized what was happening, you were already trying to teach me how to sing."

"Pah! Are you singing seriously?"

"I even listened to Evening Breeze on purpose when I went back home during the day."

"You've ruined all of Mr. Wubai's music!"

Speaking of this, even though Li Zi is already 33 years old, her pretty face can't help but blush.

"Ahem! Nonsense! Teacher Wu Bai's "Evening Breeze" is art. Sister Zi, you don't have to do anything! Just standing there is art in itself!" Zhen Jiecheng argued confidently.

"How can you describe art as a waste?"

"Oh? I and Evening Breeze are art, then what about you? What are you?"

"Hehehe, I'm a director, so of course I'm an artist!" Zhen Jiecheng grinned, and held down the immediately furious Li Zi, trying to comfort her, "Okay, sister Zi, I was wrong!"

"Come on, come on, sit down first and have some tea to calm down!"

"I asked you to come here tonight because I really have something important to tell you!"

Hearing this, Li Zi finally calmed down.

But before she could ask curiously, she heard the doorbell ring.

"Sister, hurry up and put your clothes in order. I'll go open the door!"

"Ah? Oh!" Li Zi hurriedly took action, including but not limited to smoothing out wrinkles and fastening buttons.

Soon, three familiar faces came into view.

Brother Chen Long, Jaycee Chan, and the recently popular Anthony Wong.

"Hahaha! Jiecheng, good evening!" Chen Long's hearty laughter froze at the corners of his mouth, and Li Zi's figure made his voice pause.

"Brother, Zu Ming, A-Zu! You should be very familiar with Sister Zi, so there is no need for me to introduce her in detail!"

Zhen Jiecheng said as he led the three people to their seats. He ignored the winks from Big Brother Chen Long and the admiration from Prince Long and sat down next to Li Zi.

"Azu, we have finished filming Crazy Stone. What do you think?"

"Yes! Yes, Director Zhen!" Wu Yanzu nodded.

"The professionalism of actors is not just talk. My colleagues in the crew set a good example for me!"

"Oh! You speak Mandarin quite well!" Zhen Jiecheng was stunned when he heard this, "Did you learn it during this period?"

"Yes, Director Zhen! I found a teacher and learned from him during the breaks between filming."

"Not bad, not bad! Keep it up!" Zhen Jiecheng praised A-Zubi generously, giving him a thumbs up. "Practicing Mandarin well will not only broaden your acting range, but also improve your lines."

"In addition to the lines, you'd better find a professional acting teacher to strengthen your basic skills."

"It's easy to be an actor, but it's not easy to be a good actor. It's very difficult to climb high and walk far on this mountain road!"

After a pause, he pointed at Chen Long.

"Brother Chen Long is an example! Outsiders only know that he is an action star and only admire his thrilling martial arts scenes, but few people pay attention to the fact that his literary acting skills have been gradually improving over the years."

"Not only Brother Chen Long, but also Kung Fu Emperor Jet Li!"

"Walking on two legs is more stable, isn't it?"

"That's right! A-Zu, remember what Jie Cheng said, keep it in mind, and execute it well!" Before A-Zu could respond, Chen Long said with emotion, "When I was young, I didn't pay attention to these things. I just thought that I could fight, and that was enough!"

"But no matter how good you are at fighting, no matter how hard you fight, you will still get old!"

"Although I can still fight now, I am becoming less and less able to fight."

"As for my acting skills, I have improved a lot through the experience I have accumulated over the years and the deliberate learning that came after I realized it."

"But it's not enough!"

"It's not enough to support my successful transformation!" Chen Long looked straight at Zhen Jiecheng.

"Jie Cheng, I've always wanted to find a chance to talk to you alone."

"Do you have any opinions or ideas about my transformation?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Zhen Jiecheng was in deep thought and Chen Long was waiting.

Jaycee Chan, Anthony Wu and Li Zi were so careful with their breathing that they left a quiet environment for the two to communicate.

"Brother! I don't want to tell lies, your transformation is very difficult!"

"The audience's expectations are gradually increasing. If you continue to implement the original plan, you must perform more thrilling actions and create more exciting scenes!"

"But even if you work hard to make it, you will inevitably face some criticism."

"After all, you've been making action comedies one after another, and the routine has already formed a fixed format. From this point of view, the 'surprises' brought by the continuous breakthroughs in action scenes are no longer enough to make up for the 'aesthetic fatigue' caused by the overall plot!"

After a pause, Zhen Jiecheng continued,
"If you make a transition, you not only have to consider the quality of the transitional work, but also worry about whether it will be accepted by loyal fans."

"It's like some actresses acting in special films. Once they take off their clothes, they may never be able to put them back on again because the audience will always look at them with tinted glasses."

"The same goes for you! Loyal fans have already formed a fixed perception of you!"

"Yes, yes, yes! That's it!" Chen Long said quickly. His brows were furrowed, and his troubled expression made his nose look bigger and more prominent. "Jiecheng, do you have any suggestions?"

"Or rather, let's cooperate!"

“You write your ideas into a script and you direct it!”

Chen Long is not just trying to do it without thinking, he really has this idea.

Although both of Zhen Jiecheng's films have nothing to do with action movies, this does not mean that Zhen Jiecheng is only good at comedy movies.

"Parasite" is the proof!
There is also Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises" and another work that he plans to officially direct after the ban is lifted.

Zhen Jiecheng participated in the script writing and made considerable contributions.

Not only that, Jiecheng Studio is also preparing for an idol drama project, and the script is also written by Zhen Jiecheng.

Sun Yanzi's "Little Lucky", which has not yet been released publicly, is said to be created for a youth romance film.

Given the breadth of his interests, Chen Long couldn't help but have hope for it.

"Suggestions, yes!"

Chen Long's eyes lit up.

"Cooperation is no problem!"

Chen Long was delighted.

“Even if I don’t write the script alone, I will be involved in it.”

"But the director said." Zhen Jiecheng smiled and shook his head.
"Brother, you know me!"

"Brother, I understand you too!"

"Just like Jiang Wen was afraid that I would visit the set of The Sun Also Rises, there is no room for two drama tyrants in one crew!"

"It's okay for supporting roles, but if it's the director and the protagonist, the conflict is really irreconcilable."

Hearing this, Chen Long touched his nose awkwardly.

"Jiecheng, you think too much! As an actor, I am very dedicated to my work, not a drama tyrant."

"Haha, big brother! Don't argue. The fact is that no matter who the director is, your works always maintain the style of 'Chen Long'."

"Just say it or not!"

"Yes!" Chen Long gritted his teeth, "But I promise, as long as there is no problem with the script! I will..."

"I guarantee that the entertainment tabloids are fabricating nonsense, but who would believe it?" Zhen Jiecheng interrupted Chen Long with a smile, while he put his arm around Li Zi's waist.

"Brother, do you believe it?"

"Azu, do you believe it?"

"Zu Ming, do you believe it?"

"Oh! I don't believe it myself!"

"Hahaha!" Laughter broke out at the scene.

Li Zi blushed and glared at Zhen Jiecheng.

Chen Long was also very happy and didn't care at all that Zhen Jiecheng had stolen Ma Bozi's girl.

It's nothing if it's exposed. There are many such things in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. It's nothing at all.

Besides, times have changed. Rich people like Ma Bozi, who made their fortune with dirty money, should be thankful if they can clean up their mess. Why do they have the courage to be so arrogant?

As early as the 90s, Hong Kong filmmakers had exposed the bad deeds of his father and uncle on the big screen, and the Ma family never got angry.

"Okay, Jie Cheng, let's put directing aside for now. Can you please share your ideas first?"

"Okay, big brother!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded.

"First of all, the transformation must take into account the fixed fan base, so the subject matter of action movies cannot change."

"Chen Long is one of the business cards of action movies in today's era, and he is the most eye-catching one!"

"If he says goodbye to action movies completely, Chen Long will no longer be Chen Long."

Zhen Jiecheng first set the tone.

The affirmation in the words and the sincere attitude greatly benefited Chen Long.

So he smiled and said, "Jiecheng, please continue."

“But in terms of style, there needs to be a change!”

"On the one hand, the comedy-style action design is aesthetically tiring, and on the other hand, it no longer suits your age and experience."

“My advice is: say goodbye to the bells and whistles!”

"Simple and direct! Clean and neat!"

"For example, you are a father and your daughter is kidnapped by gangsters. When you are tracking the clues, you are obstructed by gangsters."

"like this!"

As he spoke, Zhen Jiecheng's expression changed.

His expression was as calm as a lake and his tone was hoarse and flat.

If it weren't for the slightly trembling eyes and the biting gaze, it would just be like an ordinary chat.

"I'll count to three, will you please move aside?"

"three!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly threw a punch, heading straight for A-Zu's chin!

The fist stopped a few centimeters in front of A-Zu's face, and A-Zu's eyes widened in surprise.

Zhen Jiecheng had already put away his fist and sat back next to Li Zi.

"Brother, what do you think?"

"Although it's a bit unethical," Chen Long smacked his lips, "but it's unexpectedly satisfying!"

"With contrast and twists, the characters immediately become three-dimensional and vivid."

"This is a good idea! We can do it!" Chen Long became more and more excited as he thought about it, and was eager to try it out. "What else? Jiecheng, go on!"

"Besides that, I also want to show your vulnerable side! This will trigger the nostalgia and sadness of fans, and to some extent reduce their resistance to the transformation."

"Chen Long is old! He can no longer jump up and down like he did when he was young. He would fall and get bruised all over, and it would take him a long time to get up."

"But! Chen Long is still Chen Long! He can still be a lone hero!"

"Let's take the hypothetical scenario just now as an example."

In the hotel room, Zhen Jiecheng talked incessantly.

Chen Long sometimes pondered, sometimes nodded, sometimes frowned, and sometimes got excited.

His expression was changing, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

He never expected that Zhen Jiecheng could come up with a general idea for the script in such a short time.

Its style, subject matter, and plot seem to be tailor-made for his transitional work!
Although Chen Long disagrees with some of the opinions and is still struggling with them, this does not prevent Chen Long from concluding that the script will definitely be a high-quality masterpiece after it is written!

He is worthy of being the director of the billion-dollar club who reached the peak as soon as he debuted!

He is worthy of being the genius of Beijing Film Academy that even Jiang Wen is troubled by!

This talent is amazing!

You came to the right place! You asked the right question!
Thinking of this, Chen Long became more and more impatient, and it took him a long time to calm down.

After thinking for a while, he set his gaze on Li Zi.

"Lizi, what's your number? Let's add each other!"

"Ah?" Li Zi was stunned.

"What? Big brother is asking for your phone number!" Zhen Jiecheng reminded with a smile, "Hurry up, it's so rude to keep big brother waiting."

"Oh! Brother, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now." Li Zi said while glancing at Zhen Jiecheng.

She finally understood what the serious matter Zhen Jiecheng was talking about.

She understood even more clearly that she would be busy again tonight.
