"Axing, it's rare that you take the initiative to come to me. What do you need my help for?"
"I couldn't explain clearly on the phone. Are you insisting on asking me to come out to meet you this late at night?"
Looking at Zhou Xingxing, who looked a little reserved when he just arrived, Li Qingxia asked with suspicion on her face.
Both of them are public figures. Although the hotel room is quiet, it is not suitable for them to meet.
After all, it's night now.
At this time, Zhou Xingxing was about to run to Li Qingxia's room. This scene fell into the eyes of interested people. Tomorrow's entertainment tabloids may not know what outrageous news they will compile.
"Sister Qingxia, I heard that you came to Xiangjiang this time to help a mainland wine company shoot an advertisement?"
Sitting down opposite Li Qingxia, Zhou Xingxing deliberately kept a little distance from her. He hesitated and spoke.
In the movie, the characters portrayed by Zhou Xingxing are vivid and vivid.
A small, inadvertent gesture can make people laugh.
His movies, if watched several times and thought about carefully, can make people laugh and cry, and feel some humility and sadness from them.
But in reality, he is not good at words and has an introverted personality.
Li Qingxia had cooperated with him before, and the cooperation was relatively pleasant. She had already had a certain understanding of his temperament.
"I have never really liked shooting commercials. The movie I just took on was shot in Taiwan. It was well shot, but I was only halfway through it."
"Brother Xiang Shi called me personally and even threatened me. How dare I not come over?"
"I'm not like you, Ah Xing. I dare to fall out with him without any scruples."
"As Brother Sanmao said, you are the only one who really showed some dignity when facing Yongsheng Company..."
Li Qingxia curled her lips and sighed.
When she talked about coming to Xiangjiang this time to help shoot an advertisement for an unknown liquor brand, she felt a little bad again.
"Sister Qingxia, please stop laughing at me. I actually don't want to fall out with them!"
"Since they posted their words in the circle, look at how many people are now accusing me and saying something wrong with me."
"I raise my own funds to make a movie, but how many people are afraid to cooperate with me because they are worried about them?"
"I gambled almost all of my net worth on my new Journey to the West movie, which has been completed for a while."
"But until now, the theater chain has not reached an agreement, and there is no way to successfully release it..."
With a bitter look on his face, Zhou Xingxing let out a long sigh.
His wry smile has an indescribable taste, as if it is filled with endless sadness, which can touch people's heartstrings unconsciously.
"Isn't that right, Ah Xing? There are very few of your movies that are not blockbuster hits."
"The new movie you shot cannot be released in theaters because of disagreements?"
Li Qingxia said with a surprised look on her face.
As an insider, she naturally knew that Zhou Xingxing in front of her, despite her humble appearance, had a high status in the industry.
Especially the year before last, he alone accounted for most of the top ten box office movies in Hong Kong.
Many people jokingly called that year the Year of the Stars.
The theaters were unwilling to release the new movie he was filming, which Li Qingxia really couldn't imagine.
"This is the fact. In this world, there are few people who help when times are right, but there are many who add insult to injury!"
"The theater chain is not unwilling to release it, but they are deliberately suppressing it. I can't accept the reduction in the share ratio."
"I even doubt that if I really accept the conditions of the theater chain, they will deliberately conceal the box office. The original box office of 10 million will directly turn into 1 million when they reach their mouth."
"There's nothing I can do. My arms can't twist my thighs. There's no one behind me. If they want to do something, they won't have any scruples."
With a bitter look on his face, Zhou Xingxing sighed and said with emotion: "Actually, I'm just an actor. I just want to make my own movie quietly..."
After hearing his words, Li Qingxia couldn't help but fell silent.
Even if she herself, no matter how beautiful she is in front of others, she still can't help herself most of the time.
As an insider, she understood Zhou Xingxing's mood very well, and was also deeply touched by his words.
"Axing, then you come to me this time and ask me out to meet..." With a complex expression, Li Qingxia hesitated to speak. She stopped mid-sentence.
"It's like this, Sister Qingxia, the boss behind the advertisement you are going to shoot this time is said to be very powerful!"
"If he supports me, Yongsheng will definitely not dare to continue to embarrass me."
"If there is a suitable opportunity, I hope you can help me introduce him. I would like to meet him..."
After hesitating for a while, Zhou Xingxing tentatively spoke and requested.
"This..." After being stunned, Li Qingxia did not reply immediately.
She didn't doubt Zhou Xingxing's words.
For the liquor commercial she was going to shoot, if the boss behind it didn't have much energy, Brother Xiang wouldn't show up in person or call her.
The reason why she hesitated at this moment was simply because she knew nothing about the big boss.
It seemed inappropriate for her to accept Zhou Xingxing's request without even knowing whether the other party was a boy or a girl.
She didn't ask why Zhou Xingxing came to her instead of Fatty Wang for help.
Zhou Xingxing, no one would think it too much to say that he is a talented actor, but he is a bit paranoid, and his popularity in the industry is not average.
When he was with Yongsheng, he did collaborate with Fatty Wang several times.
However, since he and Yong Sheng fell out, he and Fatty Wang have also parted ways, and their relationship is not harmonious.
"Sister Qingxia, please help me just this once!"
"We have worked together before, so you should have some understanding of my temperament."
"You must know that unless I have no choice but to do something else, I will never ask for help easily..."
Zhou Xingxing smiled very reluctantly. Seeing that Li Qingxia was reluctant to respond, he gritted his teeth and spoke again, begging.
When he said these words, he looked so humble and sad.
Seeing his appearance, Li Qingxia couldn't help but feel an inexplicable heartache and felt some compassion.
"Okay, Axing, if the opportunity is right and I meet the boss, I will mention your matter to him."
"Of course, I can't guarantee anything."
"Whether they want to see you or not depends on their own wishes!"
After hesitating for a moment, Li Qingxia finally relented and promised.
"Thank you, Sister Qingxia, thank you, Sister Qingxia..." Zhou Xingxing responded quickly with gratitude on his face.
After rushing from Taiwan to Xiangjiang, Li Qingxia didn't get a good rest the whole day.
It was a great honor for her to come out and meet Zhou Xingxing this late at night.
And Zhou Xingxing is not the kind of person who is good at socializing and dancing.
Now that the matter was settled, the two of them only stayed in the coffee shop for less than ten minutes before they dispersed.
…
The next day, at noon, around 11 o'clock, we were in front of the HSBC Bank.
Chen Hai and others, who had just completed the account opening and transfer matters, walked out of the bank lobby unhurriedly.
With hundreds of millions of funds involved, they are undoubtedly big customers in the eyes of banks.
The account manager of the bank, with a face full of enthusiasm, took them to the door of the bank and left each of them a business card before returning to the bank lobby.
The group of people, including Chen Hai himself, were in a very good mood.
"Boss, would you like to find a place to have some fun and celebrate!" With a smile on his face, Bai Xiaohang tentatively asked.
"It's broad daylight, what's there to celebrate?"
"Didn't I say yesterday that I would go to the place where Miss Qingxia shoots the commercial and have a look at the scene?"
After thinking for a moment, Chen Hai looked at Xiangdong and asked, "Yesterday, you contacted Fatty Wang. What did he say?"
"Where in Xiangjiang was the commercial shot?"
In the past two days, taking advantage of his free time, he re-watched Dongfang Invincible, starring Miss Qingxia, from beginning to end.
For this reason, he also bought a video recorder and video tapes.
When he was in China, he rarely watched TV, let alone movies.
Even he had to admit that the movie shot by Miss Qingxia was really beautiful.
Compared to the movies he had watched before, such as Yellow Earth, which made him want to doze off after just a few minutes, he didn't know how much better it was.
It was just a copy of Eastern Invincible, but he was not satisfied with it.
In his mind, he had the strange idea of watching all the films Qingxia had taken.
He is naturally very interested in how Li Qingxia shoots movies.
Of course, he was just appreciating it and had no other evil intentions.
"Boss, Fatty Wang and Miss Qingxia are over there on Lantau Island."
“When they left for there early in the morning, they even called me on the phone and asked when we were going there!”
"Now, shall we go to their side?"
Xiangdong on the other side responded cheerfully.
"Lantau Island? If you go there, you have to take a ferry to cross the sea. Doesn't it take a long time?" Chen Hai frowned and asked.
"Yeah!" Xiang Dong nodded and added: "The commercials we shoot need to be in places with water."
"On Lantau Island, we are surrounded by the sea. It is easier to find a beautiful beach to take pictures."
Xiangdong naturally doesn't know how to shoot commercials. What he said should have been told to him by Fatty Wang.
"It's almost noon now. Let's find a place and eat something first. After we finish eating, we will go directly to Lantau Island!"
After looking at the time displayed on his watch, Chen Hai said.
"Um!"
"OK!"
…
Since he has spoken, others will naturally not have any objections.
A group of people were chatting and laughing, and strode towards a place called Longfeng Restaurant not far away.
