After w and Ellie talked about business, they lingered all night. It was not until the next day that Chen Zheng returned to the hotel.
After a night of just having fun, Chen Zheng naturally didn't get enough sleep, so Chen Zheng had a good sleep and it was already noon when he woke up.
Chen Zheng couldn't help but lament that after coming to the city, his life had indeed become degenerate and irregular.
The service of the five-star hotel is very good. After getting up, I just made a phone call and a waiter pushed the lunch cart to Chen Zheng's room.
While eating lunch, I read today¡¯s newspaper that came with me.
And now, one night later, there has been an uproar.
There are naturally a lot of slanderous words against Chen Zheng, and many media quoted them out of context and distorted Chen Zheng¡¯s speeches in lectures or when answering reporters. In particular, there are many people who claim to be scientific people. Whether it is Chinese medicine or Feng Shui, they all label Chen Zheng as feudal and superstitious.
However, there are many people who speak up for Chen Zheng. At least in many newspapers, there are full-page advertisements promoting Chen Zheng¡¯s opening of the Yili Guoxue Institute in Xianggang.
Although Chen Zheng didn¡¯t know the specific price, he also knew that a full-page advertisement in these high-selling newspapers must be expensive.
I was still wondering who did these things for me. After taking a closer look, I discovered that the payers were all Xianggang Rongchang Catering Group.
It turned out to be Peng Zhenzhen. Chen Zheng smiled slightly.
There are not only genuine advertisements, but also Peng Zhenzhen¡¯s interviews with reporters.
Originally, Peng Zhenzhen was not in Xianggang. She came back from Taiwan specifically after hearing the news that some media in Xianggang had slandered Chen Zheng. In the subsequent interview, Peng Zhenzhen did not hesitate to praise Chen Zheng.
It¡¯s not just Peng Zhenzhen. There are also many customers of the Xianggang Yiliguo Society who are completely on Chen Zheng's side, not only saying that he is not a superstitious liar. He was also said to have helped countless people and had immeasurable virtue.
Of course, these are the people who praise Chen Zheng. Most of them are businessmen.
As a result, the fragrant society has evolved a big debate between intellectuals and businessmen. You said and me in the newspaper.
It is conceivable that the citizens of Xianggang would have a lot of fun watching these elites quarrel.
Chen Zheng was still thinking, when there was a knock on the door, and Chen Zheng called out: "Please come in."
The door opened, and the person who walked in was Feng Guoan.
"Master Chen, have you also seen these reports?" Feng Guoan came here precisely because of this matter. Said: "I saw the news yesterday and wanted to find you, but I never saw you."
"Looking for me? What are you looking for for?"
"Hey, these reports have completely distorted your original intention, Master Chen. I'm not afraid that Master Chen will make you angry when you see it" Feng Guoan comforted him: "Master Chen, you are now considered a celebrity. Which celebrity is not? Some negative news? So don¡¯t take it to heart, Master Chen.¡±
Chen Zheng had an indifferent expression: "What should I take to heart about this? Others have their mouths, so they can say whatever they like."
"Yes, go your own way and let others decide." Feng Guoan nodded in agreement: "And these news are exposed at this time. It is not a bad thing."
"Oh? A good thing? How do you say it?" Chen Zheng asked.
"Master Chen, think about it, the current situation is not one-sided scolding you, you also have many supporters, and the two sides are giving you free publicity." Feng Guoan said with a smile: "So many How much would it cost to sell advertisements on the page? And we are going to participate in the Academy Awards, so of course the more opportunities we have to show up, the better.¡±
Chen Zheng thought about it and realized that this was really the case. No wonder so many celebrities were trying to create scandals and gain publicity.
Why didn¡¯t I think of this at first? It¡¯s Feng Guoan who always hangs out in this circle, and he has become shrewd.
"Producer Feng, you came to me not just for these, right?" Chen Zheng pointed to the newspapers and asked.
"Master Chen, you are indeed a master. I do have other things to do." Feng Guoan smiled slightly and said, "I am not satisfied with you saying that Miss Mei Xi has come to Xianggang today. She called me last night to talk about her After my trip, I wanted to talk to you about this, but unfortunately I didn¡¯t see you even after I came twice.¡±
"Oh? Mei Xi has come to Xianggang?" Chen Zheng asked: "??Is she staying in this hotel too? "
"We also live here." Feng Guoan saw that Chen Zheng had finished his lunch and stood up immediately, obviously going to see Mei Xi. He quickly continued: "But Miss Mei Xi is not in the hotel now."
"Then where is she?" Chen Zheng asked.
"Isn't this the second round of voting for the Academy Awards? The results are about to come out. Before the awards, the Xianggang Performing Arts Association and the Directors Association co-sponsored a gathering, and this event was arranged on This afternoon, Miss Mei Xi got off the plane in the morning, rested for a few hours, and went to the party. "
"Oh, that's it." Chen Zheng didn't take it to heart.
"Speaking of which, it is a tradition that there are two parties before and after the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony every year. Needless to say, there is a party after the award ceremony, but it is for celebrating the winners. The party before the award ceremony , the main purpose is to let people in the circle get to know each other, expand the social circle, and have more cooperation opportunities in the future. Directors and actors will all participate." Feng Guoan added: "Master Chen, I am here today. I came to see you, just to ask you, would you like to join me?"
If it were normal times, Chen Zheng would hate this kind of gathering.
You must know that when I was in the United States, Chinese people in the United States also held similar gatherings and invited Chen Zheng, but Chen Zheng turned them down.
Feng Guoan knew Chen Zheng¡¯s character, so he did not make his own decisions. Instead, he planned to ask Chen Zheng for his opinion first.
But this time Chen Zheng nodded: "Since Mei Xi has gone, well, I'll go and have a look too."
"That's great. Master Chen, you are very popular now. If you go, you will definitely become the focus of the audience. Those big directors and stars in Xianggang are all eager to cooperate with you!" Feng Guoan shouted excitedly.
After finishing speaking, he waited for Chen Zheng to change into his dress. Feng Guoan drove Chen Zheng all the way to the downstairs of another club in Wan Chai District. The gathering place jointly organized by the Xianggang Performing Arts Association and the Directors Association is also here. And the venue was reserved.
Logically speaking, if there is such a party, the media will naturally be present. However, entertainment reporters have become more and more exaggerated recently, so all reporters are rejected at the party. Everyone must enter with an invitation letter, otherwise they will not even be able to enter the parking lot.
Sure enough, Chen Zheng only saw the reporters surrounding him at the door of the club, but like most celebrities, Chen Zheng did not get off the car at the door at all. Instead, he drove directly into the underground parking lot of the club.
¡°Then we took the elevator directly from the underground parking lot to the upstairs.
It is very different from the previous gatherings that Chen Zheng attended. The main theme of the gatherings that Chen Zheng attended before was nothing more than eating and drinking.
??To put it more simply, it is a hall with dozens of large round tables. Everyone took their seats and exchanged cups for cups. The more elegant thing is to remove dozens of large round tables and put in a few long tables to provide buffet-style Western food and have waiters in tuxedos. Carrying red wine back and forth in the field.
But today¡¯s gathering has no dining table at all, and there is no hall either.
This club does not occupy a large area, only a few hundred square meters, with only three floors upstairs and downstairs, but it is very stylish. The decoration is not luxurious but elegant, and there is not a banquet hall-like hall, but all Divided into many small rooms.
There were not too many people gathered in each small room. There were seven or eight in the most and only two or three in the few. They were all sitting on the sofa and having a long conversation.
There were cups on the coffee table in front of the table, but no one was drinking. It was just tea or coffee.
It seems that Feng Guoan introduced it well before. This kind of occasion is provided for people in the industry to get to know each other and expand the scope of communication. No matter who you are, as long as you are qualified to receive invitations, you can meet the directors or celebrities you admire. , you can go up and have a chat generously to seek cooperation opportunities.
Along the way, Feng Guoan also introduced many people to Chen Zheng, some were big directors, some were producers, and many were beautiful and famous stars.
As expected by Feng Guoan, these people all expressed their willingness to cooperate with Chen Zheng. After all, Chen Zheng's movie "Tai Chi" has created a box office miracle in China and North America, and it will spread even more in the future. To all regions of the world, it is a good box office guarantee.
Someone even directly proposed the idea of ??investing huge sums of money to shoot a sequel to "Tai Chi".
But these were all answered by Feng Guoan, and Chen Zheng didn¡¯t even remember each of their names.
Dealing with the chatters along the way, we walked all the way, and after a while, we reached the second floor.
It was in a room on the second floor that Chen Zheng met Mei Xi.
Mei Xi's style remains the same, especially under the elegant lighting in the room, she is so beautiful that it is unbelievable.
At this time, she was sitting on the sofa, chatting and laughing with a director next to her.
She and the director were not the only ones on the sofa, there were five or six other people. Before Chen Zheng had time to take a closer look, Mei Xi had also noticed him, stood up, and gave Chen Zheng a warm hug.
"Chen Zheng, you're here," Mei Xi smiled brightly. While smiling, she also thought that Chen Zheng was making a mistake: "Didn't you invite me to dinner tonight? Have you thought about where to eat?"
Chen Zheng was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, "You just came to Xianggang. I didn't know before noon. When did I invite you?"
However, Chen Zheng was smart. When Mei Xi winked at him at the beginning, he knew in his heart that since she said that, there must be a reason, so he smiled and replied: "I haven't thought about anything yet, but Xianggang is so big, it's not like there are two people in it." There¡¯s no place to eat, right? So don¡¯t worry.¡±
"Yes~" Mei Xi smiled and then turned around: "Godfather, I just said that I had already booked a time and I was really not free, but you still don't believe me. Look, I really didn't lie to you. "
Chen Zheng followed Mei Xi's gaze and discovered that there was another person sitting on the same sofa as her. It was Deng Zikun who he and Chief Inspector Eason of the Crime Unit had mentioned yesterday!
Chen Zheng immediately understood Mei Xi¡¯s intention.
Deng Zikun has been coveting Mei Xi's beauty for more than a day or two. The last time I came to Xianggang, wasn't it because of Mei Xi that I had a conflict with Deng Zikun?
It¡¯s not unusual for Deng Zikun to attend today¡¯s party. After all, he is still a giant in Xianggang Film and Television. He has single-handedly supported many movie stars.
It must be Deng Zikun who is obsessed with sex. After seeing Mei Xi at the party, he came to seduce her again. After all, Mei Xi wanted to get the heroine of the movie "Red Whisper Girl". After humiliating himself, he accepted that he had become his godfather, so it seemed difficult to refuse him directly, so he brought Chen Zheng out.
Chen Zheng smiled bitterly in his heart. Made a shield again.
But it doesn¡¯t matter, the only one who can frighten Deng Zikun is Chen Zheng.
That¡¯s right, because of what happened to Chen Zheng before, especially when Deng Zikun sent more than a hundred gangsters to chase Chen Zheng, but failed to do anything to him, Deng Zikun really didn¡¯t dare to act rashly.
"It turns out to be Mr. Chen Zhengchen. You're fine." Deng Zikun is old and cunning, but still has a smile on his face.
But Chen Zheng could see it under his smile. Hidden with deep hatred.
Chen Zheng smiled slightly and nodded in greeting, but did not speak.
"Chen Zheng, let me introduce you," Mei Xi then pulled Chen Zheng. Deliberately ignoring Deng Zikun, he faced the other people on the sofa and said: "This one is our national treasure director, Director Du and this one is a senior leader of tb. This year tb is also on the first level. A Lunar New Year comedy"
A moment later. After introducing these people one by one, he turned to introduce Chen Zheng and said: "This person is the male protagonist who filmed the movie "Tai Chi" with me, Mr. Chen Zheng."
Chen Zheng¡¯s name no longer needed introduction by others. Those people stood up one after another and shook hands with Chen Zheng.
When he finally shook hands with Director Du, Deng Zikun was unwilling to be left alone. He snorted coldly and said with a smile: "Director Du, this Mr. Chen Zheng is not simple. He has real Kung Fu. And it's not just a real Kung Fu that puts on airs, he can Real skill in beating people. Did Director Du hear about the armed fight at the gate of Xianggang Wireless Film and Television City last year? Mr. Chen Zheng beat more than a hundred people by himself."
"I heard, I heard, this is a big event. It's just a pity that I was filming in France at the time and couldn't meet Mr. Chen Zheng in person." Director Du said with a warm handshake.
Others don¡¯t know, but Chen Zheng knows very well that the person who sent more than a hundred people to kill him was none other than Deng Zikun.
He told the story again today, but he didn¡¯t know what the purpose was. In short, it was definitely not a good thing.
As expected, Deng Zikun smiled again and said: "Mr. Chen is really good at kung fu. But I don't know if Mr. Chen can beat a hundred people with such good kung fu. So, can he beat two hundred people? And he can't beat him." How about the one with the gun? I heard that Mr. Chen Zheng was also injured last time, and the injury was not serious, right?"
Chen Zheng could tell that this was a typical threat. Chen Zheng smiled coldly, looked at Deng Zikun, and asked, "Mr. Deng, what do you mean by these?"
"It's not interesting, it's not interesting. I was just curious about how powerful your kung fu is, Mr. Chen, so I asked him later." Deng Zikun patted Chen Zheng on the shoulder: "Besides, how could this kind of thing happen in Xianggang with such good security? you do not know, since the underworld organization He Bisheng was annihilated, the security in Xianggang has become much better. It's just He Bisheng still has a lot of remnants. I'm afraid they will hate you to the core, Mr. Chen Zheng. "
Under the light, Deng Zikun's smile was eerie and terrifying, making Mei Xi feel eerie and terrifying.
But Chen Zheng didn¡¯t care: ¡°A bird that slipped through the net, a fish that escaped the hook, what¡¯s so scary? When they and Bisheng were not destroyed, I wasn¡¯t afraid of them, let alone now?¡±
"Yes, yes." Deng Zikun said with a smile: "Then I wish Mr. Chen Zheng a bright future, and tonight, you and my goddaughter will have dinner together and have an unforgettable night, haha."
At this time, a third-rate female star came forward with a frivolous look on her face, took Deng Zikun's arm, and whispered a few words to him.
Then Deng Zikun smiled hypocritically and said to Chen Zheng: "You see, as your career grows, people are busy. It is rare to see Mr. Chen Zheng, and I wish I could chat with you for a while. But I have other things to do, so excuse me. Sorry."
After that, he hugged the third-rate female star and went out.
¡¡
Feng Guoan is a typical businessman. When he comes to such an occasion, he feels like a duck in water.
In contrast, Chen Zheng was not suitable here. After chatting without saying a word with some people he knew or didn't know for more than an hour, he decided to leave.
Mei Xi originally didn't want to leave so early, but seeing that Chen Zheng was bored, not to mention that the two reunited after a long separation, and really wanted to spend some time together alone, so she left with Chen Zheng, and then drove Chen Zheng back all the way. hotel.
On the way, Mei Xi said worriedly: "I was afraid of meeting Deng Zikun when I came to Xianggang, but I didn't expect to see him on the first day I came here. There was something in what he said at the party today. And I You won¡¯t blame me for pulling you out as a shield, right?¡±
"No, no, no." Chen Zheng shook his head: "You and I just met before, and you said I was your boyfriend, which was a shield. But now that we have had a relationship, you are already my woman, how can you still call me a shield? Woolen cloth?"
"That's true." Mei Xi smiled sweetly: "But aren't you afraid of what Deng Zikun will do to you?"
"What's there to be afraid of? I wasn't afraid when his luck was booming in the past, not to mention that his luck is about to decline now."
Mei Xi thought of this and asked, "By the way, last time you said that Deng Zikun's luck would decline once he passed fifty, so when will he be completely finished?"
"Come on, if nothing unexpected happens, before we leave Xianggang this time, we should see that Deng Zikun's reputation is ruined and he will die a good death." Chen Zheng said.
"Are you so confident?" Mei Xi asked.
"Of course. In fact, if he stops provoking you, he can live longer, otherwise I will be the one who sends him to the guillotine with my own hands!" Chen Zheng said.
