Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 54 Recommended Sissi
Zhang Min stood aside, feeling relieved. Her long-cherished wish had finally come true.

She has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and every time she sees Cheng Long's big nose, she wants to punch him.

Since her debut, Zhang Min has worked with many big names in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Her first film after entering the industry, "The Devil's Jade", was a collaboration with Andy Lau and Max Mok.

The following year, he collaborated with Chow Yun-fat, Zeng Zhiwei, and Maggie Cheung in "Pretending to Chase Girls", with Cherie Chung and Paul Chun in "Dancing with the Wind", and with Stephen Chow in "The Best Son-in-law", "God of Gamblers", "Casino Tycoon", "Fist of Fury 1991", "Once Upon a Time in China", "Fight Back to School", "The Deer and the Cauldron", etc.

In addition to these few, she has also worked with Li Lianjie, Jacky Cheung, Aaron Kwok, Leon Lai, Brigitte Lin, Gong Li, Joey Wong, Gigi Lai, Shu Qi, Michelle Reis, Vivian Chow and others.

But among all the big names she has collaborated with, the only one she hasn't collaborated with is Jackie Chan.

Although the two have never worked together, they are not without friendship.

In 1993, Jackie Chan held a charity racing event and invited more than a dozen female stars to attend.

Maggie Cheung, Yau Shu-ching, Christy Chung, Anita Mui, Michelle Reis, Joey Wong, Sandra Ng, Sally Yeh, Ka Ling Lau, Jacklyn Wu, Kumiko Goto…

Naturally, this also includes Zhang Min, with her neat short hair and a red headband. The gathering of so many beauties is very dazzling.

This time Cheng Long came to see Liu Jing not because of Yongsheng's relationship.

He had some unpleasantness with Yongsheng, so he went directly to Zhang Min.

Everyone in the Hong Kong circle knows that Zhang Min’s brother who is not her biological brother has now made it into Hollywood.

Liu Jing took a deep breath and said, "I'll stand still, you fight back."

Cheng Long wanted to cry again. Can I fight back? You think I'm a three-year-old kid.

He didn't come alone. There were many people following him. They all turned their backs to him and it was very hard for them to hold back their laughter.

"Ahem, hello, I'm Cheng Long." Cheng Long stretched out his hand and acknowledged Liu Jing's skills.

For an ordinary child, even if he is completely unprepared, unless he is asleep, this punch cannot escape his physical instinct.

"Hello, I'm Liu Jing. I've heard a lot about you." Liu Jing stretched out her little hand and held it tightly.

Cheng Long scratched his head and wanted to ask whether he should say "Nice to meet you".

"Xixi, come and move the stools." Sister Li called out. There were outdoor stools in the trunk of the car.

After a short while, a table was set up and several people sat around it.

As for the people led by Cheng Long, they scattered around and stayed away.

"Haha, the environment is really nice, with vast sea and mist. Is that the Yellow Crane Tower over there?" Cheng Long first gave an opening speech and did not get to the point right away.

Sister Li made tea, aunt cut watermelon, and the trunk was fully stocked.

"Look at Chu Tianshu as far as the eye can see." Liu Jing looked leisurely.

"Ahem, it is indeed the Yellow Crane Tower. Have you been there, brother? It is the symbol of our Jiangcheng." Sister Li coughed dryly. You are either distracted or engrossed, so how can you have the time to look far ahead?

She didn't know Cheng Long was coming in advance. Mobile phones were not very popular yet, so she didn't bring any communication tools with her.

The aunt found out from grandma how many people were here and took Cheng Long directly to the riverside.

"Let's go and take a look tomorrow, little Liu Jing. I wonder if I'd be lucky enough to invite you to be our tour guide?" Cheng Long said with a smile.

"Actually, I haven't been there either." Liu Jing was quite regretful. This is quite magical, the Yellow Crane Tower is right there, but for some reason, I just can't remember to visit it.

"I'll treat you tomorrow." Cheng Long didn't hesitate at all. He picked up the watermelon and started to eat it. "Wow, the watermelon is so sweet. It's sweeter than the one in Hong Kong."

"No need. As a landlord, it doesn't make sense for me to let the guests treat me." Liu Jing shook his head.

Cheng Long had a strange look on his face. He really was a magical child, even more magical than the legend said.

He muttered in his heart, what was I doing when I was eight or nine years old? Oh, it seems to be more amazing than him. So Cheng Long threw the watermelon rind into the bag, and sighed, "In fact, I also debuted as a child star. I became Yu Zhanyuan's apprentice at the age of seven, and played minor roles in various crews at the age of eight."

"I started earlier than you. I started playing minor roles when I was four years old, and was almost tricked by Stephen Chow to become his apprentice." Liu Jing also sighed, five or six years have passed in a flash. He hasn't grown up yet, but Zhang Min is getting old.

"I often got into fights and made trouble when I was a kid, and I dropped out of school after the first grade," Cheng Long regretted.

"I'm better than you. After I beat up the welfare home, I went on to beat up all the kindergartens. But I was very honest in elementary school and I always convinced people with reason. Unfortunately, the principal was stubborn and Sister Li didn't give me a chance to reason." Liu Jing also felt sorry.

Sister Li opened her mouth to speak. Why are we still talking about this? Isn't it inappropriate for you, a person in your forties or fifties, to talk about this with a nine-year-old child?
Cheng Long didn't care, as if he had entered a certain state, and then he sighed, "Later, I studied at the drama school run by my master. At that time, I was not called Cheng Long. The teacher gave me a stage name Yuan Lou. I was fortunate to become one of the Seven Little Fortunes along with Yuan Long, Yuen Biao, Yuen Kwai, Yuen Wah, Yuen Wu, and Yuen Tai. By the way, Yuan Long is Brother Hong Jinbao. He praised you very much and always regretted that he was a step late and didn't bring you into the Hong Family Class."

"Yes! I know about this. You changed your name several times. Later, you played in "The New Fist of Fury" and changed it to your current name." Liu Jing nodded and glanced at Xixi. "The name has been changed. It is indeed like adding wings to a tiger. My ugly... well, Xixi's name is not very nice. Next time I meet Bailong... uh... "

"Eat your watermelon, you're talking too much nonsense." Xixi picked up a piece of watermelon and stuffed it into Liu Jing's mouth.

Cheng Long laughed dryly. The little guy was really straightforward and talked about changing his name right in front of him.

Liu Jing laughed dryly. The ugly girl was really disrespectful to him by doing this in front of him.

My aunt took a deep breath and decided not to let the two of them continue chatting. These two weirdos, one big and one small, were not in a good mood.

"Mu Tou, big brother wants to invite you to act in a movie, and it's a movie produced by Hollywood New Line Cinema." The aunt went straight to the point and didn't want to listen to the two of them chattering.

Liu Jing took the tissue from Xixi and wiped his face while wondering, "It seems like we have no say in what kind of movie I should shoot."

Yongsheng transferred the fifth-year signing fee of 1600 million yuan into the account as promised.

I heard that the two brothers had a dispute when it came to paying the money. Except for the youngest brother, no one was willing to pay the money.

Everyone else, including the youngest brother's new girlfriend, wanted to find an excuse to terminate their contract with Liu Jing.

In 1997, Hong Kong films fell from their peak, and many filmmakers left, watching the building collapse and the glory fade away. Artists signed by Yongsheng also left, dispersed, retired, and became independent.

Fatty Wang teamed up with Andrew Lau and Man Chun to form the Best Partner Film Company and also left Yongsheng.

The youngest member insisted on fulfilling the contract, and Liu Jing eventually received the money, as well as a large amount of business and endorsements.

He will be very busy in the next year.

"The company said, depending on your opinion, they won't interfere." The aunt sighed. The company didn't arrange any movies for them and just wanted Liu Jing to take on more business in the end.

Liu Jing could have refused, but he didn't because he was very short of money.

Before he could even feel the 1600 million in his hands, he collected 1800 million and returned it to Zhang Min. He used the remaining money to buy a big house in Jiangcheng and a car.

The money in the account was once again less than one million, and Liu Jing lost his sense of security again.

If I stop accepting business calls, the internet bill at home will become a problem.

"Take it." Liu Jing agreed without hesitation, without even asking what play it was. If someone sent money, why would he ask so many questions?

"Okay! Straightforward, let me tell you the general plot first. When the Chief Executive of Hong Kong went to the United States on diplomatic duty, his child was kidnapped by an arms dealer in Los Angeles..." Cheng Long told the story while looking at Liu Jing writing and drawing in surprise, "I play the role of Detective Li, Chris Tucker plays the role of a Los Angeles policeman, and you play the kidnapped child. Originally, the person kidnapped in the script was a girl, but the director heard that the Kung Fu Kid had made it into Hollywood, so he changed the script."

"It looks like an action movie. Do I have any martial arts scenes?" Liu Jing asked.

"Of course, you had the opportunity to help when someone was kidnapped and when someone was rescued." Cheng Long explained, then changed the subject, "But you don't have many scenes, so your pay isn't much."

When Liu Jing heard that the pay was not much, he lost a lot of motivation, "Yes! She is also skilled, why don't you use her. Her pay is not expensive, and you don't have to change the script."

Xixi was very happy at first, thinking that the rotten wood would think of me when there was something good. But the more she listened, the darker her face became. She thought that I was being cheap, and she made another note in her notebook.

Cheng Long took a look at her and said, "I'm afraid not. She's quite tall and doesn't look like a child."

"What does that mean?" Liu Jing wondered why there was an age requirement for being kidnapped.

"What I mean is that you are short and look like a five or six-year-old kid." Xixi said coldly.
