Chapter 244 Zhang Long’s Phone Call

Two days later.

Hong Kong.

Cheng Long took a nanny car to visit the crew of "Ip Man". The lead actor of "Ip Man" Yuan Biao and the director Hong Jinbao are both his fellow apprentices. In this play, Hong Jinbao also called Yuan Hua to play a role, who is also Cheng Long's fellow apprentice.

Usually, Cheng Long is very busy with work and has not seen his fellow apprentices for some time.

This time he came to visit the set not only to reminisce about the past, but also for another purpose: to invite these brothers to join "The Hunger Games".

He felt that in order to ensure the quality of the fighting scenes in "The Hunger Games", it was necessary to call on Hong Jinbao, Yuen Biao and Yuen Hua.

As soon as he showed up on the set of "Ip Man", he was quickly surrounded by reporters.

Microphones were pointed at him and questions were thrown at him.

"Brother! Are you here to visit the studio?"

Cheng Long's face was full of smiles and he was already very adept at dealing with the media.

"Yes! I'm here to visit the set. Look! I've even brought a lot of afternoon tea for everyone."

As he spoke, he pointed to the assistants and others who were distributing afternoon tea to the crew members not far away.

At this time, Hong Jinbao, Yuan Biao, Yuan Hua and others came over with smiles on their faces.

Reporter: "Brother! Is it true that you are going to star in The Hunger Games?"

Cheng Long: "Yes! Haven't you already reported this news?"

Reporter: "Brother Cheng Long! Is this script directly given to you by Zhongyuan Yidianhui?"

Cheng Long, who loves his reputation, heard this and nodded without hesitation: "Yes! He called me and told me that this script was specially tailored for me. I am very satisfied!"

Hong Jinbao on the side couldn't help but look at him.

Because it was different from the version he heard.

Huang Baiming said that this script was first submitted to him by Cao Sheng.

Reporter: "Brother! Do you mean that Zhongyuan Yidianhui is your fan?"

Cheng Long looked at the reporter, "Why? You don't believe it?"

……

Cheng Long's interview with reporters soon made the front pages of major media in Hong Kong.

It was quickly reprinted and reported by media in Taiwan, the Mainland and other places.

If it was just a rumor before that Jackie Chan would star in "The Hunger Games", then as Jackie Chan's positive response to reporters spread, the news became a reality.

Cheng Long's influence today is incomparable to that of Zhongyuan Yidianhui.

Therefore, even if the news about Cheng Long was reprinted, most newspapers would reprint it in a very prominent position on the front page.

The next morning.

Beijing.

While eating breakfast, Little Cannon was flipping through a newspaper.

When he saw in the newspaper that Jackie Chan admitted that he would star in "The Hunger Games" and that Jackie Chan also said that the script was tailor-made for him by Zhongyuan Yidianhui, the little cannon raised his eyebrows slightly, looking quite surprised.

Xu Fan, who married him last year, noticed the change in his expression and asked curiously, "What did you see? Why are you so surprised?"

Little Cannon glanced at her and said with emotion: "Do you still remember the movie "One Man's Martial Arts" that we watched together?"

Xu Fan nodded, "I remember! What's wrong?"

Xiao Gangpao: "The screenwriter of this movie, Zhongyuan Yidianhui, recently tailored a script called "The Hunger Games" for Cheng Long. Have you heard about it?"

Xu Fan nodded again, "I've heard of it. Why? Do you want to ask him to customize a script for him?" Xiao Gangpao nodded slightly, "The news said that Zhongyuan Yidianhui has written four scripts in the past six months. In addition to "One Man's Martial Arts" that we have seen, one of the other three scripts is already being filmed, and the other two should be about to start filming. What does this mean? I think this shows that this young man is good at writing scripts."

Xu Fan smiled, "Of course! If I don't have some talent, how can those people in the Hong Kong film industry appreciate me?"

Little Cannon: "So, I also want to make an appointment with him for a script. Over the years, I have figured out that movies cannot be made by myself behind closed doors. I have to cooperate with celebrities! Starting from the script, I have to find celebrities to cooperate with! Every profession has its own expertise. The scripts we write ourselves cannot compare with those celebrities who make a living by writing."

Xu Fan hummed, "That's right! Just like the "Father and Son" and "Party A and Party B" that you collaborated with Mr. Shuo, right?"

Xiao Gangpao nodded, "Yes! And now Zhongyuan Yidianhui is more famous than Shuoye, and has many more readers. If I can agree on a script with him and make a good movie, the box office will definitely be good."

Xu Fan: "Do you want to make an appointment with him yourself? Or should I make an appointment for you?"

Little Cannon flipped through the newspaper and said casually, "I'll make the appointment myself! For such a talent, we should show some sincerity."

Xu Fan had no objection.

……

Huizhou.

This morning.

Cao Sheng came to the Xitong Internet Cafe which was under renovation to check the progress of the renovation.

Liang Hongfei, who was in charge of supervising the decoration, accompanied them and reported the decoration progress to Cao Sheng in a low voice.

"In a week or so, the floor tiles here should be installed. Then the carpenters will come in to make the cash register and the ceiling. Then the painters will come to paint the whitewash..."

Cao Sheng looked around while listening to Liang Hongfei's report.

"Oh, right! A few days ago, Mr. Huang, who is in charge of technology, came over. He asked me to tell you that we should find a place to order our computers. He asked if you wanted to order from a local computer store or from somewhere else. He also said..."

The sudden ringing of a cell phone interrupted Liang Hongfei's report.

It’s Cao Sheng’s cell phone ringtone.

Cao Sheng took out his cell phone and saw that it was a call from an unfamiliar number, so he habitually clicked "Reject the call".

Seeing this, Liang Hongfei continued his report, "Teacher Huang also said that we need a large number of computers. If we don't place an order in advance, ordinary computer stores may not have so many computers. He suggested that we go to Pengcheng to place an order, saying that the computer parts there are the cheapest in the country and we can save a lot of money. He..."

Cao Sheng's cell phone ringing interrupted Liang Hongfei's words again.

Seeing that the caller ID seemed to be the same number, Cao Sheng answered the call.

"Hello? Who is it?"

"Are you Mr. Cao? I'm Cheng Long! Cheng Long from Hong Kong."

Cheng Long's voice came from the phone.

Although it was their first phone call, Cao Sheng had basically seen all of Jackie Chan's movies, so he immediately recognized Jackie Chan's voice.

He was a little surprised that Cheng Long would call him.

"Oh? Brother Cheng Long? Is there anything in the script that needs to be revised?"

Cao Sheng asked.

Liang Hongfei, who was standing by, heard the words "Cheng Long" and "script", looked at Cao Sheng's phone in surprise, and subconsciously walked a few steps to the side, and then a few more steps.

"No, no! Your script is already very complete. I like it very much and am very satisfied with it. I haven't thought of any parts that need to be revised yet. I called you just to have a chat and invite you to Hong Kong. If you come, I will invite you to go on the fishing boat to eat the seafood that has just been caught. I tell you, if you want to eat the freshest seafood, you must go on the fishing boat. The abalone and oysters that have just been caught are immediately processed by the chef and are the freshest and tenderest! I guess you have never eaten such fresh seafood. Come on over! I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

Go on a fishing boat and eat freshly caught seafood?

This was the first time Cao Sheng heard of this kind of hospitality and he was very surprised.

But after listening to Cheng Long's introduction, he really felt his mouth watering.
