Chapter 351 Signing a contract with Zhong Chuhong (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

   This is a slightly messy industrial building, with various family workshops scattered on all floors of the building.

The third floor is a small factory for women's clothing. The boss, Zhong Ji, is both the boss and the employee. At this time, he just walked in with a bag of denim and put it on the ground. Distressed came over.

   "Abba, you are resisting the bag yourself, isn't it Mingzi, let them help you!"

  Zhong Ji rubbed the other party's head, and said with a smile: "Isn't Ming Zai also working?"

   Sitting on the other side and counting the number of denim, Ming Zai is a young man in his twenties, and he said proudly: "Yes, Ah Hong, I am also working!"

  A Hong came to Ming Zai, put his hands on his hips, and said rather vehemently: "You are also called work, and I can do your work!"

  Ming Zai still said with a playful smile: "Ah Hong, who will dare to marry you after you are so hot, be careful that you won't get married in the future!"

  In Xiangjiang, the legal marriage age for girls is 16 years old, so when facing this girl named A Hong, Ming Zai made such a joke and didn't care.

   "Whether someone will marry me, I don't care about your business, hurry up and carry the cloth, or your labor will be deducted!" Ah Hong said loudly.

   "Okay, okay, I'll go, can't I go!" Mingzai got up reluctantly, and went to resist the denim.

In the factory building, the female worker who was weaving also joked with the boss at this time: "Zhong Ji, Ah Hong is so beautiful, let her participate in Miss Xiangjiang in two years, she will definitely win a big prize, and then you won't be so tired !"

  Zhong Ji smiled honestly and said: "My Ah Hong can't do it, she doesn't know how to wear high heels, and she can't participate in Miss Hong Kong!"

  In the history of the selection of Miss Xiangjiang, there is indeed such a beauty, because she doesn't know how to wear high heels, she didn't become Miss Xiangjiang in any year, but she only became the fourth in the end.

   And the first place that year was Zheng Wenya, and it is rumored that the trophy prototype of the Hong Kong Film Awards is her.

   And the fourth place is naturally Zhong Chuhong, who is full of charm in the Hong Kong film industry.

   At this time, the fifteen-year-old girl in Zhongji Women's Clothing Factory is her.

   "Can you learn if you don't know how to wear them? Besides, there are girls who don't know how to wear high heels." The female worker joked.

  Zhong Chuhong said indifferently: "I don't want to learn, wearing high heels is not comfortable at all, and there is no way to help my old man in the factory!"

Zhong's father and Zhong's mother opened a women's clothing factory. Although they are their own bosses, the business is not very good. In addition, Zhong's father is honest and honest and does not know how to read. Therefore, when Zhong Chuhong was 11 years old, he started helping the family. Accounted for.

"If you become Miss Hong Kong, you will be able to make movies. Haven't you seen how popular the first Hong Kong Miss Di Bola is now? The newspapers say that her salary for a film is 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. Down payment for a house!"

  The female worker continued to laugh.

  Mother Zhong, who was also working on the side, heard the news and asked curiously: "Can acting really make so much money?"

"Otherwise, why do you think there are so many young and beautiful girls participating in Miss Hong Kong? And I heard that rich people in Hong Kong like to date Miss Hong Kong. With Ah Hong's looks, it's no problem to help you catch a rich man. !"

   "I don't want a wealthy son-in-law, I want someone who likes me, just a simple one!" Zhong Chuhong has been with these gossip masters for a long time, and has long since ignored such jokes.

  The female worker smiled.

   Seeing that the other party didn't believe what she said, Zhong Chuhong didn't bother to entangle with the other party. She helped Zhong's father to sit aside, and complained in a low voice.

"Abba, you are really serious, I told you before, don't import so much denim, you just don't listen, now it's all right, the clothes you make can't be sold, and no one wants the denim, I think How will you pay next month's rent!"

  Facing Zhong Chuhong’s accusation, Father Zhong was not annoyed. He just smiled and said, “Isn’t it cheap at that time? It’s already dropped by 15 percentage points. I just want to stock up more!”

  Zhong Chuhong said: "The result?"

  Father Zhong sneered, "As a result, they dropped by 21 percentage points, and the women's clothing made in our factory did not sell!"

This is how people see it. In "Charlotte's Annoyance", the reborn Charlotte told Dachun that the housing prices in Xihong City would rise, and Dachun urged his mother and relatives to buy a house. After selling it, I ended up in a situation where I couldn't contact my relatives in the future.

The same is true of Zhong’s father now. When Jiahu Textile was engaged in a price war with other textile factories, Zhong’s father thought that the 15% drop was the lowest and could not be lowered, so he immediately gave up everything in the family. Stocked up on some denim.

  I want to be able to make women's jeans and sell them in the future.

result

  The price of denim clothing dropped by 21% in the end, and the low-end brands of Qingjin clothing impacted the global denim clothing market including Xiangjiang.

   As a result, the women's clothing made by Father Zhong's factory has no price advantage at all.

   Then we ended up in the current situation.

   "These textile factories are all to blame for this matter. If they hadn't insisted on a price war with Jiahu Textile, they wouldn't have ended up like this!" Zhong Chuhong said angrily, "We've even been implicated!"

  Hearing Zhong Chuhong's complaint, Zhong's father just smiled wryly, but he agreed with Zhong Chuhong's statement that those textile factories were all to blame.

   "What's the use of talking about it? They have Chu Huan and Huifeng to rescue them. Who can we rescue? If this batch of ready-made clothes can't be sold, I think we should close down next month!"

  Mother Zhong also walked over helplessly and said.

  Father Zhong carefully said: "I let you suffer with me!"

  Mother Zhong said nonchalantly: "I'm fine, just these few children in the family, they are all at school age now, what will they do in the future!"

  Zhong's father and Zhong's mother have four children. Zhong Chuhong is the eldest. Under Zhong Chuhong, there are two younger sisters and a younger brother. Although Zhong's father and Zhong's mother are very good, they are a bit patriarchal, so they must have a son.

   So after giving birth to three daughters, they still had to continue to have children. Fortunately, their fourth child was a boy!

   "Papa, Mama, why don't I drop out of school and find a job?" Zhong Chuhong said.

  Father Zhong and Mother Zhong immediately objected: "No, what do girls go out so early, no matter what, they have to finish middle school!"

  Zhong Chuhong's academic performance is not good, and it is indeed almost the same after finishing middle school!

   "That's not as good as this. Anyway, the price of denim has returned to normal now. I think you might as well lower the price, Dad, and sell some of the denim you have hoarded, so that you can solve the rent problem for next month!"

  Father Zhong sighed: "If this is the case, then we will have no price advantage in our clothes after the denim market returns to normal in the future!"

  Zhong Chuhong said: "That's a matter of the future, no matter what, we have to get through the present first!"

   Just as the three members of Zhong's family were discussing the issue of next month's rent, a chubby and round man came to Zhongji Women's Clothing Factory.

Not only a man, but also a girl with a ponytail, a white thin down jacket, light blue jeans, and black and white sneakers, beside the man, but this girl covered her appearance with a big sunglasses, outsiders You can't see the other person's appearance at first glance, but judging from her bumpy but slender figure, she must be a beauty!

  When Zhong Ji saw someone coming, he immediately thought it was business, and hurried forward to inquire.

   "Hi sir, what do you need?"

  The chubby fat man looked at him curiously, and asked, "Are you the boss of Zhongji?"

  Zhong Ji said with a smile, "That's right."

  The mellow fat man immediately smiled and said, "I am Liu Pingkui, the director of the black and white video, and I have come here to invite your daughter to join our black and white video as the lead actor in my new movie "Happy Ghost 3"!"

The mellow fat man is naturally Liu Pingkui. Liu Pingkui is naturally very happy to find Chen Yulian to participate in "Happy Ghost 3". The average face value line of the movie.

   Now it is not so easy to find a girl who is at Chen Yulian's age and looks as good as her.

Why did the first part of "Happy Ghost" be more successful than the second part? In fact, in Liu Pingkui's opinion, the content of the two films is similar, and with the bonus of the first part, the second part should be better than the first part. The department wanted to have more box office, but it ended up being slapped in the face.

  Finally, a unified answer was obtained through the questionnaires for movie viewers. The appearance of the two heroines in the second part cannot keep up with that of Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia.

   Moreover, the looks of the two heroines in the second part are no longer evenly matched, but there are ups and downs, and the two sides do not match, so the audience will naturally not buy it.

  In fact, every "Happy Ghost" is in the form of three heroines, but the third heroine is a clown, so naturally it doesn't attract everyone's attention!

  During this time, Liu Pingkui and Huang Boming were polishing the script while looking for a suitable heroine, but the result was always unsuccessful.

   Just today, Liu Pingkui received a call from Ma Jizu, and when he heard that Chu Huan had helped him find another heroine, he rushed over immediately.

   Nothing but.

  Hearing that Liu Pingkui was the director, Zhong Ji was not only not happy, but looked at Liu Pingkui warily, but Father Zhong's character was too honest after all, even if he had some thoughts in his heart, he didn't feel embarrassed to say them out.

   Seeing that Mrs. Zhong didn't have so many taboos, she said directly: "The director is so fat?"

   Still restrained, otherwise what should be said is 'the director is so wretched? '

   Liu Pingkui was very hurt. Although he was used to such a way of greeting strangers, he was still very hurt.

   Helpless, Liu Pingkui had no choice but to say to the girl next to him: "Ah Zhi, I'm counting on you this time!"

   It was Zhao Yazhi who came here with Liu Pingkui. It turned out that Liu Pingkui knew that his image was difficult to be convincing, so he wanted to bring a persuasive person here.

   And the most convincing one is naturally Zhao Yazhi who participated in "Happy Ghost 1".

  Zhao Yazhi took off the sunglasses on her face, revealing her delicate oval face, Zhong's father and Zhong's mother were still a little suspicious, but Zhong Chuhong at the side had already recognized Zhao Yazhi.

   "Zhao Yazhi, are you Zhao Yazhi?" Zhong Chuhong said excitedly.

  Zhao Yazhi nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, I am Zhao Yazhi!"

Now that Zhong Chuhong knows Zhao Yazhi, the next thing will be much easier. Zhao Yazhi said that the fat man next to her is indeed Liu Pingkui, a well-known commercial film director in Xiangjiang, and they really hope to invite Zhong Chuhong to join them this time. black and white images.

  From the first time Liu Pingkui and Zhao Yazhi met Zhong Chuhong, they had already determined that there would be absolutely no problem with this girl's appearance and Chen Yulian starring in "Happy Ghost 3"!

Zhong's father and Zhong's mother both showed complicated expressions. Just now they were joking about letting Zhong Chuhong participate in the Miss Hong Kong election in two years, but within an hour, someone from the film company came to them and wanted Zhong Chuhong has been invited to join the film company.

   Not only joined the film company, but also starred in "Happy Ghost"!

   "But, but, our Ah Hong is still in school!" Mrs. Zhong said without knowing why.

  Zhao Yazhi glanced at Liu Pingkui, and Liu Pingkui signaled that you should speak.

  Zhao Yazhi pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Auntie, you don't need to worry about this. The girl who plays with Ling Ai this time is also a middle school student, and she is also in school now. Our play is"

  Zhao Yazhi told Mother Zhong about the company's conditions for Chen Yulian. After hearing this, Mother Zhong showed a surprised expression.

  Being a star is indeed making money!

   It is true that being a star in this era really has no way to compare with those stars in the later generations, who are so happy every day, but the stars of this era still make more money than ordinary people.

  Especially on Chu Huan's side, the treatment of some celebrities has been raised.

To say that Xiangjiang stars are not as good as cleaners is purely referring to those TVB actors under the rule of Yifu Shao and the post-Yifu era, but this is only compared to ordinary actors and extras. TVB star artists are still better than ordinary Xiangjiang clerks. White-collar workers earn more!

  Seeing that Mother Zhong was a little moved, Zhao Yazhi continued: "If you two have anything to worry about, you can visit our studio."

   This is the person Chu Huan appointed. If it were someone else, Liu Pingkui and Zhao Yazhi would definitely not be so dedicated!

  Mother Zhong glanced at Father Zhong, and then said: "Well, can we think about it all night?"

  Zhao Yazhi smiled and said, "Of course!"

   At this time, Liu Pingkui also took out his business card from his pocket and handed it to Mrs. Zhong, which made Mr. Zhong, who reached out to take the business card, look at Liu Pingkui resentfully.

   "There are my home phone number and the company office phone number here. If you think about it tomorrow, you can contact me anytime!"

  After Liu Pingkui and Zhao Yazhi left, the three members of the Zhong family looked at each other.

   "Ah Hong, what do you think?" Father Zhong asked Zhong Chuhong.

   "What else can I think? Naturally, black and white images are added. Didn't you hear just now that the black and white images give Ah Hong a month's labor, which is enough to meet the rent on your side!"

  The female workers of Zhongji Women's Clothing Factory just listened to what Zhao Yazhi said to the Zhong family.

  The efficiency of the factory is not good now, not only the rent is almost unaffordable, but also the labor of these people is almost unaffordable.

  Mother Zhong glared at the other party, then looked at Zhong Chuhong, and asked, "Ah Hong, don't listen to them, tell me what you think?"

  Zhong Chuhong thought for a while and said: "I think I should go and have a look. If I can really sign the contract, I have no problem. Anyway, you know my achievements!"

  Actually, Zhong Chuhong doesn't care about becoming a star or not, but the remuneration given by the black and white video can indeed help their family overcome this difficulty, so Zhong Chuhong is tempted.

  Father Zhong, Mother Zhong naturally understood Zhong Chuhong's worry, and looked at Zhong Chuhong apologetically.

Zhong Chuhong smiled freely, and said: "Abba, Ama, don't think too much, anyway, you know my grades, I must have no hope of going to college, and didn't the black and white images also say that in When I was in school, the company also focused on my studies, and every year I film during the holidays, I think it's pretty good."

  Hearing what Zhong Chuhong said, Zhong's father and Zhong's mother felt a little sorry for Zhong Chuhong, but they also understood that this method is the best one.

  In the end, the three of them decided to wait until tomorrow when they went to the crew to watch it.

  The next morning, Liu Pingkui received a call from Zhong's father, and soon the three of Zhong's family came to the Tseung Kwan O studio.

   Still the same sentence, Zhong Chuhong is the person Chu Huan casually said, after the meeting yesterday, he was sure that Zhong Chuhong was the actor he was looking for, so he paid so much attention to it.

   As for acting or something!

  Does "Happy Ghost" need acting skills? Just act in your true colors!

  Liu Pingkui first took his family of three to two film crews to see what it was like to be filming on the spot, and then took his family of three to a black and white video artist training class.

   "A-Lian, come out!"

  At the door, Liu Pingkui called out Chen Yulian who was listening to the class.

   "Brother Kui!"

   Chen Yulian greeted Liu Pingkui with a smile.

  Liu Pingkui smiled and said: "This is the other leading actor of "Happy Ghost 3". He is also in middle school now, and he is the same age as Ah Hong. You two can keep in touch frequently in the future!"

  Chen Yulian is now much more lively than when she first came to Black and White Shadow Line.

   "Hi, I'm Chen Yulian!"

  Facing Chen Yulian's jade hand, Zhong Chuhong also extended his hand with a smile, and said, "Hi, I'm Zhong Chuhong, take care of me from now on!"

  At this time, Zhong Chuhong's family has decided to let Zhong Chuhong join the black and white video.

   Afterwards, the two parties exchanged details and signed the contract in the coffee shop on the set.

   "Welcome to black and white video!"

   Liu Pingkui said with a smile.

   "Please take care of Director Liu in the future!" Father Zhong begged.

Then the three members of Zhong's family left the studio and went to pack up Zhong Chuhong's luggage. It was a little inconvenient for the six of them to live in a house of several hundred square feet. Now that black and white images provide artist apartments, they also decided to let Zhong Chuhong Moved to the artist apartment.

  However, unlike Chen Yulian, Zhong's mother couldn't live with Zhong Chuhong because she had to take care of the work at the women's clothing factory.

  But Zhong Chuhong has been very independent since she was a child, so she doesn't need anyone to accompany her.

  After Zhong Chuhong's family left, Lin Qingxia, who was resting in the coffee shop, came over and spoke to Liu Pingkui with a smile.

   "Brother Kui, that girl just now is Brother Huan's new heroine for "Happy Ghost 3"?"

  Liu Pingkui nodded and asked, "Why did you come to the set? I remember you didn't have a filming job today?"

  Lin Qingxia said a little bored: "Yes, but it's boring to be alone at home. Ah Zhi went to Shaw Brothers to film, and Brother Huan went to Japan with Brother Haichao, so I came to the set for a walk!"

  Zhao Yazhi is still helping Shao Brothers in filming, and this film is the one that Shao Yifu personally borrowed.

   "Brother Huan really went to Japan with Hai Chao and the others?" Liu Pingkui said excitedly and enviously.

Lin Qingxia said helplessly: "Yes, brother Huan said that there is nothing to do during this time anyway, and other people are responsible for the affairs of the textile factory. He happened to go to Japan to relax, so he went with Brother Hai Chao Already!"

   "Bastard, why don't you take me with you for such a good thing, and I have nothing to do!" Liu Pingkui said angrily.

  Lin Qingxia looked at Liu Pingkui speechlessly.

Liu Pingkui naturally knew about the relationship between Lin Qingxia, Zhao Yazhi and Chu Huan, and said with a sneer: "Don't worry, Brother Huan is not that kind of person, those vulgar fans in Japan must not look down on Brother Huan." Eye-catching, besides, how can they compare with you!"

  Lin Qingxia chuckled.

   Liu Pingkui hurriedly changed the subject and said, "I heard that Director Li is preparing for "Dream of Red Mansions" and is looking for you to play Jia Baoyu?"

Lin Qingxia nodded and said: "Well, Director Li has always wanted to shoot "A Dream of Red Mansions". Now that you, Cheng Long, and Xu Guanwen are so good at fighting, Director Li must be under some pressure, so I am going to shoot It's the movie!"

At the beginning of the establishment of black and white video, Li Hanxiang was the well-deserved magic needle of black and white video, but with the strong rise of Hong Jinbao, Liu Pingkui, Cheng Long, Xu Guanwen and others in the past two years, only the movie "Big J Valve" broke Li Hanxiang. Xiangjiang's box office record, and as the number one director of black and white images, so far there has not been a movie with a box office of over 10 million.

   This naturally made Li Hanxiang a little hard to accept, so this time Li Hanxiang took out his own script "A Dream of Red Mansions", which was under the box, and wanted to make a good turnaround for himself.

   For this reason, Lin Qingxia and Zhao Yazhi, two of the most popular girl stars in black and white video, are starring.

  Lin Qingxia plays Jia Baoyu in reverse, and Zhao Yazhi plays Lin Daiyu.

In fact, in another time and space, this movie did not come out until 1977. It was also Lin Qingxia who played the role of Jia Baoyu, but the actress who played Lin Daiyu was indeed the female star Zhang Aijia from Taiwan. Yes, she was in "The Best Partner" The one who played the male wife in the movie.

  It is because the image of a man-in-law is too classic, which has caused many people to forget that Zhang Aijia is actually a serious goddess of literary films.

   At the same time, she is also a well-deserved big sister in Taiwan's entertainment industry!

   "Director Li is thinking too much. Although Director Li's movie box office is not the highest, but Director Li's movies are very profitable!" Liu Pingkui said with a smile.

Li Hanxiang is also a well-known fast shooter in this era. Last year alone, he shot six movies, each of which had a box office of more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars. Although Xu Guanwen's movie broke the box office record of last year's Hong Kong movie, it is not as good as Comparing Li Hanxiang's overall box office, it's still not enough!

  Lin Qingxia smiled, and said: "Anyway, Director Li held back his energy this time, and whatever he said, he wanted to produce a movie with a box office of tens of millions!"

   Liu Pingkui suddenly asked in a low voice: "Is there any chance for Director Li's movie?"

  Lin Qingxia blushed, and said: "What are you thinking, there will definitely be no such thing. Brother Huan has personally called Director Li to confirm this matter!"

  Liu Pingkui sneered, and said: "That's right, Director Li will definitely not commit such a foolish thing."

  Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!

   While the two were talking about Li Hanxiang, Li Hanxiang walked in with his iconic sunglasses.

   Seeing Lin Qingxia here, she immediately walked over.

   "Axia, it's just right that you are here, and I happen to have something to look for you!"

  When Liu Pingkui saw Li Hanxiang, he stood up respectfully and called him Master!

  Before, Liu Pingkui had been with Li Hanxiang for a while, so it was Li Hanxiang's land.

   "What are you doing here?" Li Hanxiang glanced at Liu Pingkui angrily.

  Liu Pingkui smiled indifferently, and said, "I just signed a contract with a girl to be one of the heroines of "Happy Ghost 3"!"

  Li Hanxiang nodded and said, "Then what are you still doing here?"

   Liu Pingkui smiled awkwardly, "I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now!"

  Li Hanxiang waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, get lost, lose weight day by day, and see how fat you have become. When your head shrinks into your neck, it becomes a ball!"

  Liu Pingkui stretched out his arms and walked out of the coffee shop exaggeratedly.

   Li Hanxiang and Lin Qingxia also smiled when they saw this.

   "Director Li, what do you need from me?" After Liu Pingkui left, Lin Qingxia asked Li Hanxiang.

Li Hanxiang nodded and said: "There are two things. The first one is how long will it take for Ah Zhi's scene at Shaw Brothers to be completed? The costumes here have already been made. I need you two to try it out. Pretending and some mannerisms also need to be trained for a period of time!"

  Lin Qingxia thought for a while, and said: "It should be finished in a week!"

  Li Hanxiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If that's the case, then there's no problem!"

   Then Li Hanxiang asked Lin Qingxia: "By the way, have you memorized the script?"

  Lin Qingxia nodded and said, "I've learned it by heart."

  Li Hanxiang said: "Since you have memorized it by heart, then you should learn the movements first, and I will learn with you after Ah Zhi's finale!"

  Lin Qingxia said that there is no problem.

   Then Li Hanxiang asked Lin Qingxia: "The second thing, I called Huan Shao's villa in Repulse Bay before, and the people there said that Huan Shao is not at home. Do you know where Huan Shao is?"

  Lin Qingxia did not immediately tell Li Hanxiang that Chu Huan had gone to Japan, but asked, "Director Li, what do you want to do with brother Huan?"

  Li Hanxiang said: "I just want to ask Huan Shao if he has any friends in Japan!"

   Not today, thank you everyone, the next chapter is at 12 o'clock in the morning~
