Superstars start as villains

Chapter 141 Return to Hong Kong.

There are no airtight walls in the entertainment industry.

Soon, the news that Zhou Xing accepted the filming of Brother Feng's new film with 500 million yuan spread in the circle. As for the 2000 million yuan investment?Don't make trouble, with Brother Feng's personality, there is a high probability that this film will not pass the review. Without the mainland market, do you still expect it to make money?

For a while, some people said that Zhou Xing was loyal and did not forget the old friendship, and some said he was stupid, and some people still talked about loyalty to others these days.

Of course, everyone praised Zhou Xing on the scene. Sometimes, reputation is such a shit that people don't want to step on it, but sometimes, reputation is a priceless treasure, and no amount of money can buy it.

Zhou Xing is now at a juncture. The popularity of "Huo Yuanjia" has made him a new Kung Fu superstar in Chinese movies.

However, after this news broke out, those who want to play tricks behind their backs will have to weigh it carefully, especially on the surface. If someone says something bad about him, they will definitely be disgusted by their peers. After all, morally speaking, Zhou The behavior has been beyond reproach, and even such a person can arrange, this person's character must not be very good.

This is the so-called righteousness.

In March, Zhou Xing took a flight to Xiangjiang. Speaking of which, he hadn't been here for several years.

However, as soon as he showed up, he was surrounded by fans and the media who came here to pick him up from the airport. At that scene, even the airport security, who was used to seeing big scenes, was shocked.

"Zhou Xing, this is your first visit to Xiangjiang in three years. How do you feel?" A reporter desperately handed the microphone out of the crowd.

Zhou Xing smiled: "Well, after three years, this place still feels familiar, which is good."

These words can also be interpreted in two aspects, one is the literal meaning, and the other is that three years have passed, and Xiangjiang seems to have not changed much, and cannot keep up with the development of the times.

"Excuse me, for so many years, you haven't returned to Hong Kong to make a film. Why did you take this film at a lower price this time? Is it to win an award? Since your debut, you have never won any award." Hong Kong reporter, as always Difficult.

Zhou Xing shrugged: "Do you think I need to prove myself with awards now?"

All Xiangjiang reporters were at a loss for words. Yes, ordinary stars need to rely on awards to be gilded, but Kung Fu stars are an exception. They rarely win awards, but this does not hinder their social status.

It's as if Jackie Chan hasn't won the Best Actor Award at the Academy Awards until now, he is still the face of Chinese Kung Fu movies, and Li Lianjie also hasn't won the Best Actor Award at the Academy Awards, does this affect his becoming an international Kung Fu superstar?
Afterwards, Zhou Xing never answered any questions. The Xiangjiang paparazzi still behaved as before, and some questions were clearly just digging holes for him to jump in, so he didn't bother to answer them.

"Ah Xing, okay, long time no see." A bloated figure appeared in front of his eyes.

Zhou Xing rushed forward and hugged the fat man: "Brother Xue."

This fat man was his first friend in Xiangjiang. He vaguely remembered that year's New Year's Eve, when this guy left his family behind and packed a meal to accompany him.
"Get in the car first, and we'll talk after getting in the car." Jiang Xue resisted tears.

The commercial vehicle drove all the way, and Zhou Xing and Jiang Xue also recovered from the emotion of reunion after a long absence, chatting about the changes in the past few years.

In fact, Zhou Xing was mainly talking about what Jiang Xue had experienced in Xiangjiang.

Jiang Xue couldn't help being envious and regretful. In the past three years in Xiangjiang, he saw the film market gradually sluggish, and many former friends went north to find a way out, but he wasted three years here. If you go out and go to the mainland with Zhou Xing, will it be another scene?
Not long after, the business car parked downstairs at Yinhe Yinghua. Zhou Xing looked at some old signs and couldn't help but feel emotional. However, in three years, things seemed to be different. Compared with the rapid changes in the mainland, the city of Xiangjiang , as if falling asleep, three years as one day.

"Brother Feng." I haven't seen you for three years, Brother Feng still looks cool, but this time Brother Feng gave Zhou Xing a rare hug.

"Thank you this time." Brother Feng said a rare word of thanks.

But Zhou Xing took off his sunglasses and exaggerated: "Wow, Brother Xue, do you think Brother Feng was hijacked by a UFO? He actually said thank you to me."

"Really? Let me see."

"roll."

"Haha~~~"

After the laughter, Brother Feng asked the driver to take Zhou Xing to the hotel to rest, and specially gathered several leading actors of the film crew for dinner at night.

Wu Zhengyu, Zhang Yaoyang, Zha Zhahui, Ren Dahua, Ren Xianqi, the scene is quite luxurious. In Xiangjiang, only Brother Feng can gather these people in one crew.

Zha Zhahui, Ren Dahua, Wu Zhengyu and Zhou Xing were old acquaintances, so it was inevitable to have a drink with Zhou Xing.

"Brother Xing, you can just call me Ayang, let's do it first." Zhang Yaoyang also toasted a glass of wine under Brother Feng's introduction.

In terms of debuting sooner or later, Zhang Yaoyang must have crushed Zhou Xing, but the Huaxia entertainment industry is talking about celebrity status, and Zhou Xing at this time is naturally crushing Zhang Yaoyang in this regard.

"You're welcome. I've heard of the crow's name for a long time. Don't overturn the table later." Zhou Xing also drank his glass and teased him a bit.

"Haha~~~" Everyone couldn't help laughing, Zhang Yaoyang scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Brother Qi, I offer you a toast."

In the film industry, Ren Xianqi naturally cannot be compared with Zhou Xing, but in the entire entertainment industry, Ren Xianqi can definitely be regarded as a legend.

"You are welcome. I still have a lot of shortcomings in acting. I will ask Brother Xing to take care of me in the future." Ren Xianqi spoke Mandarin, although he had a bit of a Baodao accent, but to be reasonable, he was much better than the others .

The atmosphere at the wine table was quite harmonious, Zhou Xing and Jiang Xue both drank a little too much, and in the end Anli asked them to send them to the hotel to rest.

A few days later, it was already noon when Zhou Xing woke up. He turned his head and saw that Jiang Xue was lying on the bed, almost pushing him out of the bed, so he patted him angrily.

Jiang Xue woke up in a daze, stood up and yawned: "Starting work? It will be ready soon, wait for me."

Well, this guy obviously didn't get over it, he thought it was three years ago.

At noon, Jiang Xue took Zhou Xing to the tea restaurant they used to eat for lunch.

"Boss, two servings of roast goose rice, and two servings of good soup." Jiang Xue is familiar with it.

The boss also knew him, and he didn't regard him as a star at all, so he greeted him familiarly: "Come right away, you guys find a place to sit first."

"Do you remember the roast goose here? Wow, that goose leg is nothing to talk about." Jiang Xue said so much that her saliva almost flowed out.

Zhou Xing was about to tease him when he suddenly heard two people chatting in Mandarin at the next table, so he subconsciously listened for a while.

"Hey, brother Hao, no one has been optimistic about our script for so many days, what if we can't get the investment? Just go back in such a desperate way?"

Brother Hao replied helplessly: "What else can we do? It doesn't matter who made us not famous. Is it true that I sold the house to make a movie? If I lose money, my whole family will sleep on the main road?"

"However, this is not a solution. If our little money is spent, there will not be enough air tickets to go back."

"Then wait one more day at the end, no, let's talk about it, bah, what kind of international film festival, once they heard that we are mainland directors, they didn't even give us a chance to talk!"

While chatting, Zhou Xing's boss had already brought roast goose rice over.

After Zhou Xing finished eating, he turned his head and saw that the two people had disappeared just now, but their conversation aroused Zhou Xing's interest.

"Sister Anli, is there an international film festival in Xiangjiang recently?"

Anli thought for a while: "It seems that there is such a film festival, but it's an international film festival, but it's just like that. Compared with the influence of the Academy Awards, why do you suddenly ask this?"

Then Zhou Xing roughly talked about the conversation between the two mainland directors in the tea restaurant, and Anli's eyes lit up when he heard it: "This is an opportunity, why don't we try our luck too?"

Anli is definitely a man of action, and immediately got two invitations. The Hong Kong International Film Festival set up an Asian Film Investment Association. In fact, it is to give young directors from all over Asia an opportunity to promote themselves, just like an exhibition , each of them is given a room, as to whether they can win the favor of investors, it all depends on themselves.

Zhou Xing and Anli took a look at it all the way, and there were very few that really interested them, and this investment meeting was almost over, and the more reliable ones were also attracted for investment, and the rest were basically They are all student works, and most of them are not from majors.

"Why don't you stop here today? It hurts my feet."

Zhou Xing couldn't help laughing: "Who told you to wear high heels?"

However, looking around, he found the two people he met at the tea restaurant at noon, and Zhou Xing was moved in his heart: "Let's see one last."

"Just take a look." A short-haired man about Zhou Xing's age said directly without raising his head.

Zhou Xing laughed to himself, his attitude was similar to that of a shop selling pirated discs at Tianqiao.

"Red racing car?" Zhou Xing picked up a script and read it.

The two saw that Zhou Xing had been there for a while, but they hadn't left yet, so they started to pay attention and promoted their other scripts to Anli by the way.

"None of you can speak Cantonese?" Zhou Xing put down the script and asked with great interest.

"No." The two replied very freely.

Zhou Xing couldn't help laughing. The so-called Xiangjiang International Film Festival actually had very limited influence. It was basically just for self-entertainment in the Hong Kong film circle. These two don't even know Cantonese. How can they introduce their ideas to others?
As soon as Zhou Xing finished speaking, both of them slapped their foreheads with remorse.

"I'm also from the mainland. After talking for so long, I still don't know what to call you. Why don't we chat in another place?" Zhou Xingdao.

"My name is Liu Wei."

"Ning Hao."
