Chapter 105 Borrowing the Actor
After hearing Wen Bixia's words, Du Qi immediately understood. She wanted to return home in glory. But the original salary was also the 10,000 Hong Kong dollars Du Qi gave her some time ago. She gave most of the rest. She spent all the rest, so she felt that it was too shameful to go home now.
Obviously, Wen Bixia's vanity is particularly strong, but Duqi thinks it's nothing. Moreover, Wen Bixia is like this, it's easier for Duqi to control her in the future. He smiled and said, "Yes, Axia is a big star now, so of course she has to go home with a glorious atmosphere. I'll get you another 10,000 yuan later, and you can buy something to go back for your family and neighbors."
"Brother Qi, you are so nice!" Wen Bixia was overjoyed and rushed into Du Qi's arms to act coquettishly. The two little white rabbits on their chest rubbed Du Qi intentionally or unintentionally.
After Wen Bixia got the money, she immediately took Du Qi's hand and said, "Brother Qi, you have nothing to do next. Can you accompany me to buy things?"
"Okay!" Du Qi reached out to put her arm around her slim waist. Wen Bixia naturally held Du Qi's arm, letting Du Qi's hand rest on her little upturn, gently caressing her buttocks, but a bright smile still appeared on her face.
"Brother Qi, do you think this dress looks good?"
“This necklace is very nice!”
"That sister, please bring those silver-white shoes over."
Wen Bixia is very talented in shopping. Ten thousand Hong Kong dollars is still very purchasing power in Hong Kong. After all, many people now have only more than 1,000 yuan in a month. But in just one afternoon, she not only bought things for herself, but also bought gifts for her seven brothers and sisters and parents. In addition, neighbors with better relationships also have a share. These things add up and spent 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. Later, she asked Duqi for 3,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was almost enough.
When he finally went back, he saw Wen Bixia looking unfulfilled. Du Qi knew that if Wen Bixia continued to maintain this state, he would never escape from his control in his life.
...
"Happy Ghost" was a big sale, and Du Qi certainly had to prepare a celebration banquet. According to Wang Jing's suggestion, he set up in Liyuan Restaurant. In addition to Oriental Film and Television, he also invited Phoenix TV and TVB, as well as many people from the Hong Kong film and television circle.
Shao Yifu came very early, and as soon as he came in, he said to Duqi: "Aqi, you are doing a good job."
"I have to thank Uncle Six for his support there." Du Qi smiled.
Today's celebration banquet attracted a lot of people. Du Qi's eyes turned and suddenly found that Sammo Hung was sitting in a corner. He said that he had posted an invitation, but he didn't expect the other party to come. After all, I remember that Sammo Hung and Jiahe are very familiar now. After asking, I realized that Sammo Hung was just screening films in Jiahe Theater. Baoxiang Film Company is his sole proprietorship.
What's more, I heard that Zou Wenhuai took the initiative to make an appointment with him yesterday. I think that Hong Jinbao should have known Zou Wenhuai's attitude, so he would be rude.
In addition to Sammo Hung, many brothers around him also came, and Du Qi also saw several familiar faces, all of whom were from Sammo Hung’s brothers.
"The Happy Ghost" became the first movie in Hong Kong to have a box office of over 10 million yuan, and Director Wang Jing made an indelible contribution. Today, I would like to pay a cup to Director Wang Jing here," Du Qi raised his wine glass and said, "At the same time, I wish "Happy Ghost" a big hit in the overseas market!"
The guests stood up one after another and raised their glasses to wish the "Happy Ghost" a big hit in the foreign market. The restaurant was very lively for a while. As the owner of the film company, Duqi asked him to toast from time to time. However, no matter who Duqi faced, he only took a small sip, and in fact it was the white water prepared by Lin Guan next to him.
Not long after, Hong Jinbao also brought his Yuan family class here, and Yuan Biao and Lin Zhengying were there.
"Mr. Du, congratulations!" Hong Jingong raised his glass and smiled.
Du Qi also smiled and said, "It turns out it's Mr. Hong. I like watching your movies very much. Everyone will work together in the future!"
Sammo Hung is also a well-informed person in Hong Kong. He didn't pay attention before. After the "Happy Ghost" was sold, he also found out some of Duqi's origins through indirect attacks. He knew that the boss of Oriental Film and Television that suddenly appeared was much better than him. Seeing Duqi's politeness, he felt quite helpful and said, "Everyone works hard to do more in the future. When will Mr. Du prepare for a new film? If you need to use me, you can speak."
Du Qi said: "The new film is actually already being conceived, and it will only take one or two months to start shooting. But I want to ask Mr. Hong to do my best."
Hong Jinbao was stunned. He didn't expect that Du Qi was so direct just a few polite words. If Du Qi was just the boss of a film company, he would probably have made a fuss at this time to let the matter go, but when he thought of Du Qi's situation, he said at this moment: "Mr. Du can speak if you have anything to do."
Du Qi said: "My new film lacks a male lead, so I want to borrow an actor from Mr. Hong."
Hong Jinbao originally thought that Du Qi was here to borrow the Yuan family troupe from his subordinates as a martial arts commander. After all, his Hong family troupe is also famous in Hong Kong. Unexpectedly, he would be the actor who was the leading actor when he spoke. If the people who followed him were only the ones who were following him, only Hong Jinbao and Yuanbiao were qualified to play the leading role. Du Qi said that he borrowed it, and he probably thought it was referring to Yuanbiao, and immediately said: "Mr. Du, whoever actor you want, please speak."
Du Qi pointed to Yuanbiao and said, "It's him."
Hong Jinbao was stunned and looked in the direction Du Qi pointed at. After recognizing the person, he suddenly felt that it was too unexpected, which made him unable to help but say, "Mr. Du, I heard it wrong just now, are you planning to invite Lin Zhengying to play the male lead?"
Lin Zhengying carefully calculated that she was also a fellow disciple of Hong Jinbao. She gave Bruce Lee action guidance as soon as she debuted. Later, she was taken to Hollywood to develop by Bruce Lee and was called Bruce Lee's right-hand man.
Unfortunately, as soon as Bruce Lee died, Lin Zhengying had to go back to Hong Kong to make a living. In recent years, she has been a martial arts leader for Sammo Hung, occasionally starring in some small roles, or being a stand-in for others.
Such a person has poor acting skills, is not handsome, and is not young anymore. Hong Jinbaozhen doesn’t know why Du Qi wants to find Lin Zhengying as the male lead!
"Yes, I just want to invite Mr. Lin Zhengying to be the leading actor in my new film." Du Qi said: "I also hope Mr. Hong can give up his love."
Although Hong Jinbao felt strange about why Du Qi asked Lin Zhengying to be the male lead, he quickly agreed: "Since Mr. Du can take a fancy to him, I am naturally happy."
