Chapter 657: Opening the altar(1/2)
'Crack crack crack...'
Located on Austin Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, firecrackers went off for five minutes for the opening of a new company. The company is an independent office building and had just gone through the unveiling and cutting ceremony.
The colorful four characters "Rainbow Pictures" on the office building really stole the attention of all the guests.
After the excitement, high-end cars drove up one after another. As one of the shareholders, the Xiang brothers warmly greeted everyone to get in the car and go to the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong to attend the opening reception of ‘Rainbow Pictures’.
‘Rainbow Business’ was co-founded by Huang Shaohong and the Xiang brothers.
One billion U.S. dollars from the Chenghu family has been received. Huang Shaohong took advantage of the downturn in the Hong Kong real estate market to purchase various properties, shops, and high-end apartments.
Villas and mansions, high-end office buildings and other high-end properties in Mid-Levels and Repulse Bay, and took the opportunity to establish their own scientific research studio.
In addition, he also established the company "Rainbow Pictures" with the Xiang brothers, and he purchased the company's office building at a low price.
At this time, this guy was smoking a cigar in the corner and staring at the celebrities that the guests knew.
Fa Ge, Hua Tsai, Sing Ye, Chao Wei, Guorong, the fourth brother Xie Xian and his wife, three brothers Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, Yuan Biao, Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanying and Xu Guanjie.
Qingxia, Manyu, Zhizhi, Mi Hu, Wang Mingquan, Zhao Yazhi, Wireless Kowloon Girl, and other female stars...
If this true appearance were to impress future generations, even the Academy Awards would not be able to gather so many big-name stars, which made Huang Shaohong, who grew up watching Hong Kong movies, feel a certain sense of excitement and unreality.
Huang Shaohong exhaled a puff of smoke, but it felt like someone was missing!
Zilong suddenly came over: "Master, I saw my wife..."
"Where?"
Huang Shaohong, who originally looked lazy, immediately became energetic.
Zilong pointed towards the crowd on the other side and saw Hong Gu, dressed in black dress, in the corner on the other side of the crowd, staring blankly ahead in a daze.
Next to her, a gentle male friend wearing glasses was asking her something with a concerned look on his face, but received no response.
Huang Shaohong felt a little guilty. He naturally knew the reason why Honggu was so unhappy. Just when he was thinking about whether to go forward and meet him, Xiang Qiang walked up to him:
"Mr. Huang, please get in the car. The driver is already waiting over there!"
Originally, he was called Big Brother Huang Shaohong, but the latter thought that calling him "Big Brother" sounded like a black man, so he asked him to change his name in public.
Huang Shaohong glanced at Hong Gu who was in a daze in the distance. After thinking for a while, he was not ready to face the 'victim' directly, so he sighed softly, nodded to Xiang Qiang, and then directly took Zilong and Ma Dongfang with him.
Get in the car.
As for Hong Gu, Huang Shaohong planned to organize his speech in the car first, and then wait until he got to the Peninsula Hotel to find an opportunity to say a few words to her.
Huang Shaohong and the other three got into Xiang Qiang's Rolls-Royce, and the car started and drove them straight to the Peninsula Hotel.
Little did he know that after the vehicle drove away, Honggu turned her head and glanced at the back of the vehicle, with mixed emotions in her eyes.
At this time, Manyu took Qingxia and walked to Honggu: "Ahong, why are you here? We have been looking for you for a long time. Come on, get in the car and go to the hotel. I'm hungry!"
Honggu forced a smile: "You go ahead, I feel a little unwell, so I'm going back first!"
Seeing that her best friend seemed to be uncomfortable, Manyu said very loyally: "Then I won't go either. What happened last time made everyone unhappy. To be honest, I don't even want to come... ..”
When she said this, both Qingxia and Honggu beside her changed their colors at the same time. You must know that this is the opening of Xiangjia's company, and they are surrounded by people from Xiangjia. If these words are heard and spread to Xiang Qiang's ears, Manyu I’m afraid I won’t hang out on Hong Kong Island anymore.
Qingxia hurriedly pulled her: "Stop talking, be careful to make people listen!"
Hong Gu also advised: "I'm really uncomfortable. It would be too obvious if you don't go too!"
After being persuaded by the two good sisters, Manyu reluctantly nodded: "Okay!"
She turned to the gentle man with glasses beside Hong Gu and said, "Mr. Zhu, please, as the flower protector, please send our Ah Hong back safely!"
The gentle and bespectacled man known as Mr. Zhu is an upstart in the advertising industry. Recently, Zhu Jiading is chasing after Hong Gu. In the real world, a talented man and a beautiful woman will become a good couple, but in this 'saint' In Fighter World', things have gone a little awry.
Mr. Zhu smiled heartily when he heard this: "Of course, of course, Miss Manyu, don't worry, I will send Miss Zhong home safely!"
In the car returning home, Honggu sat in the passenger seat, staring blankly out of the car window with no focus. Zhu Jiading was always observing her expression and had long since discovered that the big star was not in a good mood today. , asked with concern:
"Ms. Zhong, are you okay?"
Honggu looked back, forced a smile, shook her head, indicating that she was fine.
Zhu Jiading continued: "If Miss Zhong encounters something, you might as well tell her. As long as Zhu can help, I will do it without any hesitation!"
Honggu felt a little moved. Impulsively, she suddenly asked: "Zhu Sheng, do you really want to chase me?"
Zhu Jiading's eyes were blank and he felt a little uneasy, but he still said seriously: "Yes, I hope Miss Zhong can give me this opportunity. If you can't accept it for the time being, then we can start as friends and slowly get to know each other. "
Honggu wanted to cry loudly. Although she had no feelings for Zhu Sheng at the moment, but thinking about that incident and that person, she felt that maybe she should give herself an excuse to forget everything.
She turned her head silently and continued to look out the window. After a while, she suddenly said: "We can try to date!"
Zhu Jiading was overjoyed. Sincerity leads to gold and stone. The ancients never deceived me. He pursued me sincerely, and finally got a response today.
He quickly struck while the iron was hot: "A...A Hong, can I call you that?"
Honggu frowned and said, "How about...you should call me Miss Zhong. I'm not used to it if you call me Ah Hong."
Zhu Jiading looked grim and said again: "Okay, okay, I understand this is too fast. Miss Zhong hasn't eaten yet. How about I book a restaurant and let's go eat French food?"
Honggu shook her head again: "I'm sorry Zhu Sheng, I'm a little uncomfortable today."
Zhu Jiading smiled bitterly in his heart, he couldn't even ask for a kissing spot, and he wouldn't even invite him to dinner. What kind of socializing is this?
At the Peninsula Hotel, Xiangjia arranged a Chinese-style banquet. The guests were seated at banquets on both sides. On the stage in front, there were performances by the most popular artists in Hong Kong Island.
Even Fa Ge came on stage to sing a song with Qiu Guan, his sister Wang Mingquan, and Zhao Yazhi, Qiu Guan's sister's version of "Gong Xi Fa Cai" to wish the opening of Rainbow Pictures. The atmosphere was very lively for a while.
Huang Shaohong and Xiang's brothers were sitting at the same table. At the same table were a certain councilor from Hong Kong Island and a certain director. He didn't know any of these. He only knew Shao Liushu from TVB and Zou Wenhuai, the boss of Jiahe.
In accordance with Huang Shaohong's wishes, the Xiang brothers did not introduce him much. During the introduction, they only said that he was one of the shareholders of 'Rainbow Pictures'. This made the others just nodded to him and did not pay too much attention to him.
I thought he was just an unimportant minority shareholder.
During the dinner, Huang Shaohong swept his eyes around the venue and saw Qingxia, Manyu and other familiar actresses sitting at a table together, but he did not see the person he wanted to see the most.
Looking for an opportunity, Huang Shaohong approached Qingxia and Manyu's table with a wine glass in hand.
Several female stars who had experienced that day immediately cooled down when they saw it was him. Qingxia, Manyu, Zhizhi and other female stars all stood up and walked around awkwardly saying, "Mr. Huang!"
They had a pretty good impression of Huang Shaohong, and they were grateful that he didn't let them drink with him that day.
Of course, the premise is that they don't know what happened in the Mid-Levels Villa later, otherwise Huang Shaohong will probably get yelled at by everyone at this table.
Huang Shaohong asked straight to the point: "Why don't you see Miss Zhong?"
Manyu didn't smile: "A Hong is not feeling well and has gone home before. Why does Mr. Huang like our A Hong? Then you have to work hard. There is a flower protector beside her!"
Huang Shaohong was startled when he heard this: "Miss Zhong has a boyfriend? I wonder which Hong Kong talent he is?"
Qingxia noticed that Huang Shaohong's voice was unnatural, and looked at him in surprise. Thinking of Hong Gu's distraught appearance before, she couldn't help but think deeply.
Manyu was heartless and didn't notice anything unusual at all. She said with a smile: "It's just a pursuit. Our Ah Hong hasn't agreed yet. If you tell me, you may know him, Mr. Zhu, the upstart in the advertising industry.
!”
Huang Shaohong's heart moved. It turned out to be him. He immediately and quietly offered a glass of wine to several beautiful celebrities on the table, then said goodbye in a graceful manner and left.
Qingxia looked at Huang Shaohong's back and whispered to Manyu: "Do you think he is a little strange?"
Manyu said in surprise: "You don't have a crush on him, do you? But he is indeed quite handsome and graceful. No wonder our beauty Qingxia is also interested in him."
"What are you talking about?" When the girl in front of her changed the subject to herself, Qingxia forgot what she wanted to say and reached out to scratch the itchy spot on her waist. The two of them laughed together, making everyone around them laugh.
The man glanced sideways frequently.
The next day at Rainbow Pictures, Xiang Qiang put a dozen scripts on his desk and asked Huang Shaohong, the boss behind the scenes, to choose the company's first drama.
Huang Shaohong looked at the script and asked casually: "How did the thing I asked you to do go?"
Xiang Qiang quickly replied: "In the laboratory, in the name of holding the first 'Hong Kong Island Science Symposium', we invited the world's top scientists to come to Hong Kong Island, but there were very few responders, and even more so for Hawking.
He refused directly, we didn’t even meet him!”
Huang Shaohong nodded and didn't take it seriously. He had expected it a long time ago and just let the Xiang brothers try to make contact first.
Without taking his eyes off the script, he said:
"Everyone has weaknesses. Some love money, some love fame. It depends on whether you can catch them. If you catch their weaknesses, I don't think it will be difficult to invite them. As for Hawking, just tell him that I If his muscular dystrophy can be treated with Chinese medicine, we can first let him come to Hong Kong Island to receive treatment for one day and give it a try!"
Xiang Qiang said quickly: "Okay, boss, I will send someone to contact them later. Don't worry, I will definitely get it done this time!"
Huang Shaohong had already read a dozen scripts, picked out one and threw it on the table: "That's it!"
Xiang Qiang picked up the script and took a look. The words "Magic Jade" were written on the cover of the script.
He frowned and said: "Boss, this book is from Wang Jingtou, the fat little son of TVB Wang Tianlin. He asked to direct it himself, but the boy has no experience. There is a scene in this book that has to be shot on location in Greece. The investment is not small. , so many companies are not optimistic about it!”
Huang Shaohong said funnyly: "Then why don't you buy it!"
"I think that little fat guy is a talent, and I want him to train for two years before filming this scene!"
Huang Shaohong waved his hand and said: "No, that's it. I happen to be going to Greece too, so I can guide him by the way!"
Xiang Qiang did not question it. In his heart, this big guy was the best at everything. He immediately nodded and said, "As for actors, we have also signed a few actors, do you want to train them?"
Huang Shaohong remembered that the original male protagonist of this movie was Hua Zai and the female protagonist was Zhang Min, but the latter seemed to have not made her debut yet.
With a thought in his mind, he remembered what Manyu said at the banquet, and he made the decision: "The male lead will be Hua Zai, and the female lead... Hong Gu will be fine!"
To be continued...
