Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At 8:30 in the morning, all the streets in Hong Kong are busy with traffic. It is the rush hour for work. Buses, taxis, and private cars are driving back and forth. Looking up at the whole Prince Edward Street  The avenue was slightly congested because of the busy traffic.  Although the road conditions were not very good, it was still early, so Zhong Yanhong did not seem anxious. She was thinking lightly about the upcoming meeting in her mind, while driving slowly forward with the traffic.  Last night, she was bored at home watching TV when she received a call from Zhou Runfa who was busy filming "A Better Tomorrow".  After everyone had a familiar chat, Zhou Runfa conveyed Director Su Mucheng¡¯s invitation to meet her.  It probably meant that Director Su wanted to invite her to participate in a new movie. He also wrote the script himself. Because he knew that Fa Ge had a good relationship with her, he asked Fa Ge to convey the invitation to meet tomorrow morning.  Zhong Yanhong naturally knew about Director Su. She and Fa Ge had attended the premiere of his first movie. She could only say that the experience was good, but they didn't have much communication with each other.  The deepest impression that Su Mucheng left on her was not his extraordinary talent and appearance, but his faintly calm temperament and his bright and deep eyes.  I still remember the first time the two met, when she was invited to participate in the movie "Chasing Girls", starring Fa Ge, directed by Wang Jing, and also written by Su Mucheng himself.  The way he looked at her at that time, apart from the surprise at first sight, was followed by pure appreciation.  Not sure if it was an illusion, but Zhong Jihong could faintly feel the faint joy and nostalgia hidden in her eyes.  After receiving a call from Fa Ge last night, she leaned on the sofa and thought quietly, and couldn't help but think of the strange feeling she felt from the other person's eyes.  It's a pity that I can't figure it out even after thinking about it. However, she has a calm personality. Since she can't figure it out, she just doesn't want to think about it. If she contacts her again in the future, she might get the answer.  After a long while, we finally arrived at the meeting place. After Zhong Haohong parked the car, he walked into the teahouse calmly.  When she arrived at the service desk, Zhong Yanhong raised her head and was about to speak. The waiter opposite had already looked at her and said with a smile: "Hello, Miss Zhong, Mr. Su has booked Tea House No. 6, and he is already inside."  , please follow me." After saying that, he politely extended his hand to let him lead the way.  Zhong Yanhong also said politely, "Thank you" and followed the waiter to the No. 6 Tea House where Su Mucheng was located.  The so-called Tea House No. 6 is just the name given to the private rooms in this teahouse. Tea House is the private room, and the number is the number of the private room.  Arriving at the door of Tea House No. 6, the waiter turned to Zhong Haohong and politely motioned her to wait a moment, then raised her hand and knocked on the door gently. Zhong Haohong, who was standing behind, had already left the hidden room.  Through the crack of the door, I saw Su Mucheng holding a tea cup with his eyes closed and meditating.  Mu Cheng was just savoring the West Lake Longjing tea that the owner of the teahouse in front of him specially sent to him.  Although I don¡¯t know much about tea ceremony, I can still appreciate the fresh and mellow tea aroma and delicate and silky taste in Makujo.  At this time, a "dong dong" knock on the door sounded, interrupting Makuro's faint thoughts just now.  "Please come in," Makuro put down his tea cup and said calmly.  "With a bang, the waiter opened the door, turned around and said to Zhong Yanhong: "Miss Zhong, please.  " Zhong Xinghong smiled and nodded to express his gratitude to the waiter, and then walked into the room. When Mu Cheng saw Zhong Xinghong walking in, he quickly stood up to welcome him and nodded to the waiter to express his gratitude. The waiter also smiled at  Mu Cheng bent down, then retreated, and closed the door to the room. Mu Cheng opened the chair next to him, smiled and said to Zhong Yanhong, "Aunt Hong is here, sit down first.  " "Thank you," Zhong Haohong responded politely and sat down on the chair. After seeing Zhong Haohong sit down, Mu Cheng also walked back to his seat and sat down. "I'm sorry to disturb you so early.  Come and have some snacks first!  "It's only nine o'clock now, it's breakfast time. Mu Cheng guessed that the other party hadn't had breakfast yet, so he took the chopsticks and put a small steamed bun in the bowl in front of Zhong Hong, and pointed to the one on the table.  Those snacks, smiled and said to Zhong Haohong, "Um, okay, thank you." Unexpectedly, Zhong Haohong was stunned for a moment, but Mu Cheng didn't notice Zhong Haohong.  Shocked, he picked up a steamed bun and started eating it. He looked up and saw Zhong Yanhong looking at him blankly. He raised the half of the steamed bun held in the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Eat, you're welcome."  " After Zhong Yanhong saw his signal, she also picked up the buns in the bowl, brought it to her mouth gently, and took a bite. As soon as the delicious buns entered her mouth, Zhong Yanhong wasHis eyes lit up, "Well, it tastes really good."  It¡¯s been a long time since she¡¯s eaten such on-point steamed dumplings. Zhong Jinghong couldn¡¯t help but eat more. After a while, Zhong Jinghong realized that there was another person.  Looking up, he saw that Su Mucheng had put down his chopsticks and was looking at him with a smile. Then he looked at the empty plates on the table. Zhong Hao couldn't help but blush, and he put down his chopsticks in embarrassment.  Seeing Zhong Yanhong suddenly stop using his chopsticks, Mu Cheng looked at her doubtfully and said, "What's wrong? If it's not enough, I'll ask the waiter to bring some more." "No, no, I'm full." Zhong Yanhong  He quickly shook his hands, looked at Makuro with a slight blush and said with a little satisfaction, "I haven't had such a decent breakfast for a long time. I accidentally ate more, and now my stomach is a bit full." He said and rubbed it in a gesture.  He rubbed his belly.  Mu Cheng couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhong Jihong's appearance. Zhong Jihong realized that the action he had just made was not very elegant, so he quickly put down the hand that was rubbing his stomach and lowered his head, not daring to look at Su Mucheng.  Zhong Yanhong also felt strange in her heart at this time. How could she appear so casual and natural in front of him? In fact, she was not very familiar with him!  After thinking about it for a while, she couldn¡¯t figure it out. Zhong Yanhong didn¡¯t bother to think about it anymore, so she raised her head and looked at Mu Cheng.  Mu Cheng happened to be looking at Zhong Jihong, and their eyes immediately collided. Seeing the calmness and smile on Mu Cheng's face, Zhong Jihong now knew that it was the other person's calm and casual attitude that made him  Feel comfortable and relaxed.  After the two looked at each other for a while, Mu Cheng took the lead to break the silence and said: "Honggu, I asked you to come here today. Actually, I have two things I want to talk to you about." Zhong Jinghong was also a little confused, "No.  We're talking about his new movie, why is there another thing?" He couldn't help but look at Makuro curiously, looking forward to his next words.  Seeing Zhong Yanhong's slightly doubtful eyes, Mu Cheng didn't hesitate and said with a smile: "Let's talk about the first thing first, which is what Brother Fa told you before about making a movie. I wrote  I have written a script called "Daoma Dan", and will next collaborate with director Xu Ke, who will direct it. It mainly tells the story of three women of different identities who accidentally came together to perform a patriotic legend during the Republic of China.  Story. We hope you can participate in one of the female roles. By the way, although the other two actresses have not been confirmed, they should basically be fine. I might as well reveal to you first. One is Lin  Miss Qingxia, and the other one is Miss Ye Qianwen." After Mu Cheng finished speaking these words, he smiled and nodded to Zhong Jihong, who was thinking about it. He picked up the tea cup and took a big sip. He was really thirsty.  .  This fine Longjing was like boiled water at this moment, being drank like a mucheng cow chewing peonies.  Zhong Yanhong can be said to be a wiser person. From what Mu Cheng said just now, she grasped several important pieces of information.  One is that the script of this movie was indeed written by Makuro himself, but he did not direct and shoot it himself, but chose to cooperate with director Xu Ke.  The other is to listen to his simple description. This is a patriotic story during the Republic of China. It should not be a comedy but probably an art film.  There are also two other actors he mentioned, one is Lin Qingxia, a famous senior in the film industry and a popular movie star, and the other is Ye Qianwen, an equally outstanding artist who spans both singing and film.  It can be seen that this drama is quite important.  After a while, Zhong Yanhong looked at Mu Cheng, who still looked calm and casual, and said, "Director Su, can I read the script first?" "Oh, okay, no problem, it was my negligence." Mu Cheng listened.  After hearing what the other party said, he also reacted and said it himself without giving the script to them to read first.  She turned around and took the briefcase that was lying there quietly from the chair next to her. She opened it and took out two manuscripts. One was the outline of the script, and the other was the script of the role she was going to play.  After putting the briefcase back to its original place, Makuro stood up with a smile and handed the two manuscripts to Zhong Yanhong. He nodded and told her to look at it first, then sat back, picked up the teapot next to him, poured a cup of tea and put it on the clock.  In front of Zhong Hong, he then refilled his cup, held the tea cup, drank tea, and sat quietly, waiting for Zhong Hong's reply after reading the script.  After Zhong Yanhong took the script, he nodded to Mu Cheng, then lowered his head and read it in detail.  As Mucheng said, this is a story that took place during the Republic of China. The main characters are three women with different identities and personalities. This script is through the intertwining lives of these three protagonists, and they jointly compose a patriotic legend.  .  After reading the outline of the script, Zhong Yanhong knew in her mind what role the other party invited her to play.  Then he opened the character script and read it. As he expected, it was the character of the money-grubbing singer Xiang Hong in this drama.    From the script alone, Zhong Yanhong felt the literary and artistic atmosphere contained in the period. Literary films are a test of acting skills, and Zhong Yanhong was indeed interested in participating in this role.  Although Zhong Hanhong made her debut in 1979, it was a literary and artistic film that really made her famous, that is, "The Story of Hu Yue", which she collaborated with Zhou Runfa in 1981. With the Vietnamese girl she played in the film  Shen Qing's role can be said to be an instant hit and completely established her popularity.  After making a decision in her heart, Zhong Yanhong put the script back on the table, showed her charming smile and looked at Makuro who was waiting quietly opposite, nodded and said: "The script is very good, I am willing to participate in this role."  After hearing Zhong Haohong's affirmative reply, Mu Cheng also smiled and nodded, stood up, stretched out his right hand, looked at Zhong Haohong and said, "I believe that the addition of Hong Gu will make this movie a lot better." Zhong Haohong  Hong also stood up with a smile and shook hands with Mu Cheng, "Director Su, thank you for the award. I should be the one thanking you for giving me this opportunity." Mu Cheng shook his hand and looked at Zhong Yanhong calmly and said, "Aunt Hong.  , you see that¡¯s what I call you, don¡¯t call me Director Su, Director Su. If you don¡¯t mind, just call me Ah Cheng like Brother Fa and others. We are all young people, there is no need to be so restrained.¡±  Looking at the other party's calm expression and listening to the other party's words, it was true that we were all young people, and she felt very relaxed and natural facing Mucheng. Zhong Yanhong also showed a sincere smile and nodded.  After the two of them sat down, Zhong Yanhong felt relieved and looked at Mu Cheng with a smile and said, "Acheng, now you can tell me about the second thing you asked me to come over today." Mu Cheng  Cheng nodded and said with a smile: "The second thing is that I want to invite Hong Gu to join my company. You should know that Glory is my own industry, but unfortunately there are no outstanding artists under the company.  , so I hope you will join. Of course, you can rest assured that the company¡¯s conditions are very generous and will not impose too many restrictions on you, and will help you get more opportunities to participate in the company and make you a brand of the company.¡±  When he said this, Mu Cheng glanced at Zhong Yanhong and saw that there was no big reaction on her face. He paused and put away the smile on her face. Instead, he put on a serious and serious expression and continued:  "The things I said before are all basic things. I will only say the next words once. I hope you can think about it seriously." After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhong Yanhong seriously.  When Zhong Yanhong saw Mu Cheng¡¯s serious expression, she knew that what was coming next would be the highlight, and she nodded with a serious look on her face, signaling Mu Cheng to continue speaking.  Mu Cheng looked at Zhong Hong's eyes seriously and said word by word: "I don't lack script funds, nor money, but I don't have good actors. If you are willing to join, I will tailor it for you  To create several classic movies, the investment for each one will be greater than that of "The Legend of the New Shushan Swordsman" produced by Jiahe, and I am confident that it will succeed and that it will break through to the other side of the Pacific and you will become famous because of it.  In my eyes, Hong Kong and even the whole of Southeast Asia are still too small. What I want is to go further and wider, to Asia, Europe, America, and maybe even you.  You may think that I am wishful thinking or too ambitious, but this is my goal and ideal. I don¡¯t care what others think. I will keep going until I can¡¯t walk any more. Following Makiro¡¯s words.  , you will find that his eyes are so hot, his expression is so solemn, and he exudes a majestic momentum of overcoming thorns and thorns, riding the wind and waves to conquer all the bumps on the road under his feet, and his whole person is full of extremely domineering self-confidence.  After Mu Cheng finished speaking, he returned to his original state, as if his domineering and confident aura had never appeared before, and now he had turned into his original calm, confident and smiling expression.  Looking at Mu Cheng with wide eyes, she was shocked, shocked by his lofty ideals, shocked by the domineering and majestic momentum he unintentionally exuded, although she still felt that what Mu Cheng said was true.  The words were a little too ambitious, but when he thought about the fleeting momentum and the other party's extremely domineering self-confidence, he felt a little bit of recognition in his heart. Maybe the other party could really do it. Makiro looked at the still calm mood with a smile.  Zhong Yanhong, who looked at her with wide eyes in confusion, said: "I hope Aunt Hong will consider my invitation carefully when she goes back. Not only you, I also extended an invitation to Brother Fa.  I hope that you, the on-screen pair, can join us and create glory together.  " Zhong Yanhong received too much stimulation today, and it took her a while to come back to her senses. She just nodded when she heard Mu Cheng's words. It will take a long time for her to digest the good things today. " NextThe two of them continued chatting in the room like old friends. Neither party mentioned the topic again, as if it had never happened before, but both of them clearly remembered that conversation in their hearts.  Time passed unknowingly, and when it was almost noon, Zhong Yanhong said goodbye. She needed to go back and sort out today's conversation, and Mu Cheng did not hold back too much.  Shortly after Zhong Yanhong left, he also walked out of the teahouse.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Sorry, the update is a little late, phew!
