- After ringing the doorbell a few times, Wang Ben let go and stood outside the door leisurely waiting. Wang Bi rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch. The time was now 8:55 in the morning, which was still five minutes before the time he and Zheng Peipei agreed to meet. If there is no special reason at this time, Zheng Peipei should be at home.
Sure enough, after more than ten seconds, there was a burst of brisk footsteps in the room. A crisp English with a hint of Hong Kong flavor came, "Hello, this is Mr. Yuan's home. Who are you looking for?"
The voice is very familiar, very similar to the voice on the phone before. The person standing behind the door must be Zheng Peipei.
Wang Bi pulled up his tie, straightened his clothes, cleared his throat and said loudly: "Hello, I am Wang Bi from Phantom International. I have an appointment with Ms. Zheng Peipei"
Before he finished speaking, the door creaked open, and Zheng Peipei, wearing a beautiful dress, appeared behind the door.
Zheng Peipei said to Wang Bi enthusiastically: "Mr. Wang, please come in quickly! Please come in quickly! When the doorbell rang just now, I guessed that the person who came at this time was you."
Although Wang Bi had already seen Zheng Peipei's photo poster, when he saw the young and beautiful Zheng Peipei with his own eyes, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but admire in his heart. He said in his heart: He is worthy of being selected as a "martial arts champion" by the Hong Kong media. A "movie queen" person! This appearance, this temperament, and this figure are simply so much better than those beauties of later generations!
??Zheng Peipei has long black hair simply tied into a bun, a beautiful oval face, curved eyebrows, starry eyes, a beautiful nose, and a slender figure. Zheng Peipei was just twenty-six years old at this time, which was the most beautiful moment for a woman. The coquettishness of a girl and the mature charm of a young woman are perfectly intertwined in her, coupled with the reveal of her mother's surname as a new mother, it really makes all men fascinated!
¡°If they had to see with their own eyes Zheng Peipei, who is full of youthful and mature charm, no one would have imagined that the crazy and tough messed-up Mrs. Hua in "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" would have such a youthful and beautiful side.
Zheng Peipei led Wang Bi into the living room and smiled enthusiastically: "Mr. Wang, what would you like to drink? Oolong tea, juice, or coffee? Don't be polite when you come here. Please feel free to do it as if you were at your own home. Same."
Wang Ben sat in the spacious and luxurious living room and looked at the furnishings in the living room. He nodded and smiled politely: "Let's have a cup of oolong tea!"
Zheng Peipei and Wang Ben were sitting in the living room drinking tea and talking casually. Although they had become very familiar with each other over the phone, they still felt a bit strange after meeting face to face. When Wang Bi was observing Zheng Peipei, Zheng Peipei was also observing Wang Bi.
Wang Ben was wearing a crisp and well-fitted suit. He was tall and strong without appearing reckless. His face was handsome with a touch of elegance of a scholar. He sat there calmly and exuded a domineering majesty from a superior position.
The first impression was very good, and Zheng Peipei immediately believed what his friend in Xiangjiang said.
After receiving Wang Bi¡¯s phone invitation, Zheng Peipei asked her friends in Xiangjiang for some news about Wang Bi. But the news she got was really too miraculous, so miraculous that she couldn't believe it.
The information stated that Wang Ben was only nineteen years old this year, and he had just smuggled over from the poor and backward mainland. Within half a year of arriving in Hong Kong, he shot three movies, each of which sold tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars at the box office, breaking and creating box office records in Hong Kong and even Asia. He was called the "Ten Million Director" by the Hong Kong media. . Moreover, his ability to make money is very strong. Three movies earned him tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. He even set up his own film company and filmed in the United States
And it seems that Wang Ben is not only great in movies, but also full of legends in other aspects.
The three novels not only created a new novel theme, but also made him the best-selling and highest-paid novelist in Hong Kong. His reputation is even comparable to that of Ni Kuang and Jin Yong, who have been famous in Hong Kong for decades; several songs have broken the reputation of the Hong Kong music scene. The prejudice against Cantonese songs gave Cantonese songs a new life in the Hong Kong music scene, and Wang Ben was also honored as the "Grandmaster of Cantonese Songs" by the Hong Kong music scene.
¡¡
Ten million great directors!
The youngest film company boss!
The best-selling novelist!
The founder of Cantonese singing!
¡¡
It¡¯s almost like a legend!
Zheng Peipei looked at the majestic Wang Bi and couldn't help but secretly doubted: "Is he really only nineteen years old? Isn't this impossible?! Oh my God! This is even more outrageous than the novel! Is there really such a genius in the world? ? If my friends in Xiangjiang hadn't proven it to me over and over again, I wouldn't have believed it! But ordinary young people don't have such a calm and dignified aura!Son-in-law, I feel like I¡¯m seeing Uncle Six"
Wang Ben drank oolong tea and chatted casually with Zheng Peipei, "Ms. Zheng, have you had a good life since coming to Los Angeles? Can you still adapt to life in Los Angeles?"
Zheng Peipei, who was still distracted, had no reaction to Wang Bi's words and was still in a daze.
Wang Ben smiled and said: "Ms. ZhengMs. ZhengMs. Zheng, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Huh? WhatMr. Wang, I'm sorry, I was distracted just nowI didn't hear what you said."
Zheng Peipei was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing, and he felt a little embarrassed.
Wang Ben didn¡¯t expect that Zheng Peipei would be lost in thought at this time, which was a little funny for a moment. He had no choice but to smile and repeat the question, "I just asked you, are you still adapting to life in Los Angeles?"
Wang Bi¡¯s question almost instantly made Zheng Peipei burst into tears.
? Adapting to life in Los Angeles?
It¡¯s simply too uncomfortable!
??????????????????????????????????What do you think it would be like)) Zheng Peipei, a girl with a cheerful and outgoing personality, would feel like going from the familiar and friendly Xiangjiang to Los Angeles where she doesn't understand the language and is not accustomed to the local environment? After arriving here, there was almost no one to talk to except my husband. Apart from potatoes, beef, milk and bread, there was almost no Chinese food to eat
The language barrier and the acclimatization are simply a kind of torture!
Zheng Peipei immediately started chatting and started pouring bitter words to Wang Bi, "Mr. Wang, you don't know my pain! Ever since I immigrated to Los Angeles, almost no one has come to visit me There are some ghosts around, and most of the Chinese compatriots live in Chinatown, which is far away from this community Hey, it's hard to find someone to talk to all day long! English and Spanish are such a headache!¡±
"Besides, the food we eat every day is unbearable. It's just milk, bread, potatoes, beef, and nothing else. If you want to eat Cantonese or Shanghainese food, you have to drive a long way. The key is the food in these restaurants. Cantonese food and Shanghai food are completely different from domestic food. They are sour or sweet, which is simply disgusting"
It seems that Zheng Peipei is really depressed in Los Angeles, but this cannot be blamed on Zheng Peipei. At this time, there were still very few Chinese in Los Angeles. Unlike decades later, when the wave of Chinese immigrants rose, especially after the wave of overseas students and immigrants from mainland China after the reform and opening up, tens of millions of Chinese people gathered in Los Angeles, directly forming a a Chinese community.
At that time, it didn¡¯t matter even if you didn¡¯t speak English, you could still live a good life in Los Angeles. Because at that time, Chinese supermarkets and Chinese stores in Chinese communities sold everything. Whatever is sold in the country can be found in supermarkets. There are all kinds of special Chinese foods such as stinky tofu, salted duck eggs, tofu, and various condiments. Whatever dish you want to cook, whether it is spicy Sichuan cuisine or rich Cantonese cuisine, you can buy the ingredients and seasonings for these dishes in the supermarket. It¡¯s simply more convenient than at home.
And it doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t understand those ghost TV shows. There are various Chinese radio stations, TV stations, and newspapers in Los Angeles and even the United States. The movies and TV series broadcast are almost synchronized with those in China
Everything is almost the same as in China, just like a high-end community in China. It's just that I see more ghost neighbors.
"Heheheyes, yes! There is no convenience like Xiangjiang here!"
Listening to Zheng Peipei exclaiming that it was Chi Guoguo¡¯s complaint, Wang Ben didn¡¯t know what to say, so he could only laugh a few times to deal with Zheng Peipei.
However, after Zheng Peipei complained for a while, he also realized that he had said some nonsense. After looking at the embarrassed smile on Wang Ben's face, Zheng Peipei ended her complaint appropriately, and then awkwardly said to Wang Ben: "Mr. Wang, I'm really sorry! I made you listen to so many complaints"
Wang Ben also smiled and comforted her, "It doesn't matter! Ms. Zheng, you don't have any relatives here except Mr. Yuan. It is inevitable that you are unfamiliar with the place. But as long as you get used to it, you will be fine."
Zheng Peipei¡¯s complaints let out the depression he had accumulated over the past year, and he felt relieved. At this time, she felt even more intimate when looking at Wang Ben.
Zheng Peipei laughed and said: "Mr. Wang, don't call me Ms. Zheng so politely, and I won't call you Mr. Wang. I will treat you as my mother-in-law from Xiangjiang, and we will treat each other as brother and sister." .what do you think?"
"Hahaha¡¡"
Wang Ben laughed heartily and said in his heart: I can't ask for such a thing! It seems that Zheng Peipei is very concerned about participating in "New Dragon Gate Inn".I no longer have any worries!
"Then I'll call you Sister Peipei! Sister Peipei, you can call me Ahu, or you can call me my English name Vincent. You can call me whatever you feel comfortable with."
Zheng Peipei also said proudly: "Okay! Then I'll call you Vincent! By the way, I'll call your brother-in-law and ask him to go to Chinatown to buy some food at noon. Let's get together. Have a few drinks.¡±
"drink wine?!"
Listening to drinking, Wang Ben suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead. Now he knows how sensitive his body is to alcohol. It can be said that he almost gets drunk when he touches alcohol! The key is that after being drunk, you will lose control of your body and do many ridiculous things involuntarily.
What happened the night before yesterday really left Wang Ben with lingering fears! Although the final outcome is that Wang Ben not only got an astronomical windfall, but also returned home with the most famous beauty in Hollywood. But everyone knows this is just a fluke! If it had been anyone else, or if Martin and Taylor had changed their bet, Wang Ben might have been lying in a corner waiting to die. Is there any scenery left to speak of?
Who knows what Wang Ben will do next time he gets drunk?
"Hehehehe Sister Peipei, you don't have to drink! My brother, my drinking capacity is really small. It can be said that I get drunk when I touch alcohol, and I will act crazy when I am drunk"
Wang Ben begged Zheng Peipei for mercy with a grimace and embarrassment. For a moment, the majestic and domineering look on his body disappeared without a trace, leaving only a wry smile on his face.
Zheng Peipei said in surprise: "No way? Vincent. I see you are tall and strong, how could you not know how to drink? You are not looking down on my sister and don't want to drink with me, are you?" "
Wang Ben really couldn't laugh or cry. In order to make Zheng Peipei believe what he said, he had to expose himself and said: "Sister Peipei, didn't you read the newspaper yesterday? If you had read the newspaper, you would definitely believe what I said. The night before yesterday Li Xiaolong and I were drinking in the bar, and I got drunk. Then I became drunk and went crazy Oh, and it was published on the front page of the newspaper. The page reported it.¡±
"Oh, there is such a thing?! You were so drunk that you got published in the newspaper! Which newspaper? Is it some tabloid? What on earth did you do? It was published in the newspaper! And it was a full-page report on the front page !¡±
Zheng Peipei¡¯s eyes were full of gossip, and he couldn¡¯t help but burst out a series of questions. You must know that the United States is a typical white supremacist society. If the Chinese want to get some limelight in the United States, and the limelight is so big that it can be published on a full page of a newspaper, that is simply a fantasy! Maybe not once in a hundred years.
How could this not make Zheng Peipei curious?
If there was no bet with Taylor later, Wang Ben would definitely tell the story proudly and proudly. However, the newspaper clearly revealed his affair with Taylor and their explicit love affair with Taylor one night.
How embarrassed is Wang Ben to say this!
Wang Bi covered his face in shame, embarrassed to look at Zheng Peipei, let alone answer her questions.
Zheng Peipei looked at Wang Bi with even more curiosity, and quickly asked: "Which newspaper is it? It has been reported in the newspapers, and you are still embarrassed to say it?"
Wang Ben coughed dryly and smiled awkwardly: "Heheheit was reported in all the newspapers in Los Angeles."
"ah?"
Zheng Peipei stared at Wang Bi with wide eyes in disbelief, and murmured repeatedly: "It was reported in all the newspapers in Los Angeles?!"
"What on earth did you do? Did you go to assassinate the President of the United States, or set fire to the White House? Otherwise, what earth-shattering thing could you have done in the bar? No, tell me what happened in detail Once again!¡±
The fire of gossip in Zheng Peipei's heart was burning brightly, and her curiosity and exploration made her feel itchy. Zheng Peipei immediately sat down next to Wang Ben and grabbed Wang Ben's arm tightly, with almost fire in his eyes as he stared at Wang Ben closely, "Vincent, please speak quickly!"
"ah?"
Wang Ben couldn¡¯t help but sigh to himself: Why is this woman always so gossipy? I originally thought you were a heroic and heroic heroine, but who knew you couldn¡¯t escape the habit of women gossiping!
But Wang Bi was really embarrassed to talk to Zheng Peipei, so he had to change the subject and said: "Sister Peipei, let's talk about business first! Do you think we should talk about the "New Longmen Inn" agreement first?"
As he spoke, Wang Bi took out the script and agreement for "New Dragon Gate Inn" and waved them in front of Zheng Peipei's eyes.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??Zheng Peipei completely ignored it, but still pulled Wang Bi's sleeve and asked: "The agreement is a trivial matter. Now hurry up and tell me what you did the night before yesterday?"
"Uh! The agreement is a small matter? So what is the big deal?"
Wang Ben looked at Zheng Peipei with black lines on his head, not knowing what to say.
Zheng Peipei snatched the agreement from Wang Ben's hand, flipped through it, picked up the pen and signed her name on it, and then took a picture of Wang Ben's hand without looking at it. Li said angrily: "Isn't it just a matter of signing an agreement? What a simple thing! Don't you think it's already signed? Hurry! Tell me what happened in detail!"
Looking at the agreement in his hand, Wang Ben was immediately dumbfounded. Originally, he thought that Zheng Peipei would take a closer look no matter what, and even waited for Yuan Wentong to come back to discuss it, and then bargained with him before signing the contract. But I didn't expect Zheng Peipei to be so careless, no! It should be said that it was signed in such a straightforward and bold manner.
????????????????? But from here we can also see the boldness and aura of Zheng Peipei, she is worthy of being the queen of martial arts movies!
Wang Ben patted the agreement casually and asked in disbelief: "Sister Peipei, don't you take a closer look? Don't you talk to me about the terms of the contract? If I did something in the agreement, then wouldn't you Is it a big loss?¡±
Zheng Peipei gave Wang Bi a slap in the face affectionately and said with a smile: "Since you have called me sister, I believe you will not lie to me. Besides, I am not a fool about your sister. I have already found out your details. The film industry in Hong Kong praises you as Sai Mengchang! You are very generous to your actors and staff, and you are the first in Hong Kong in terms of salary and bonus Hahaha Vincent, you won't treat me badly. My sister?"
As she spoke, Zheng Peipei's confidence became less and less, and she began to realize that her actions just now were a bit hasty. But the agreement had been signed, and it was useless no matter how much she regretted it.
It feels so good to be trusted by others!
Wang Ben laughed loudly and said: "Sister Peipei, since you trust me so much, then I will not betray your trust. This agreement is a head-to-head contract. It just signed that you, Sister Peipei, will star in "New Dragon Gate"." Inn" Well, the salary is 150,000 Hong Kong dollars. Although it is not comparable to the salary in Hollywood, it is also a top-notch actor's salary in Hong Kong."
"One hundred and fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars?! That's a lot!"
Now Zheng Peipei was surprised.
She has never thought about comparing the salary with Hollywood actors. The salary of Hollywood actors can reach up to one million U.S. dollars. If converted into Hong Kong dollars, that would be 5 to 6 million Hong Kong dollars.
But compared with the salary of actors in Xiangjiang, it is very high.
You must know that Zheng Peipei used to be an actor at Shaw Brothers. Shaw Brothers were famous for being stingy and stingy. They never paid actors a salary, but paid monthly salaries like workers.
For Zheng Peipei, 150,000 Hong Kong dollars is a salary that she has never imagined.
Now Zheng Peipei knew where Wang Ben¡¯s reputation for being bold and generous came from.
Wang Bi saw Zheng Peipei stunned by his words. He quickly took out a check and stuffed it into Zheng Peipei's hand. Then he got up and left. As he walked, he said: "Sister Peipei, the script is on the table. You can do it yourself." Let¡¯s think about it carefully. After the people from Xiangjiang arrive, let¡¯s train hard and then shoot. Hahaha I won¡¯t eat at your house! "
Wang Bi didn¡¯t give Zheng Peipei any time to react, turned around and disappeared from Zheng Peipei¡¯s sight.
