1982 Started from Hong Kong

Chapter 342 Banning Zhong Chuhong

Later, Chen Shilon took the initiative to publicize in a program interview the thrilling scene in which he used three guns and six grenades to confront gang members.

As soon as the program was broadcast, before the public could react, the Hong Kong Police Department was in an uproar from top to bottom.

Is Hong Kong's record of zero gun cases for so many years going to be broken?
So they immediately began investigating where his guns and ammunition came from.

At that time, a police spokesman bluntly stated that if the situation was true, according to the Hong Kong Firearms and Ammunition Ordinance, Chen Shilong could be sentenced to life imprisonment.

Chen-I Love to Tell Little Lies-Slon nearly went to jail for these remarks.

As a result, the police made a big fuss and sent out arms experts to look for witnesses, but after a lot of work, they found neither physical evidence nor witnesses, and the case was left unresolved.

But this time, Brother Long is very powerful!
"Two pineapples stood up to the Bamboo Union, and there are precious video records. You are brave and resourceful, my nephew!"

In a private room of a restaurant in the city, a dinner party was held for the filming of "Hiroshima Monster".

The three main actors, Chan Shih-lung, Leung Ka-fai and Chung Chung-hung, were present, surrounded by a circle of martial artists and stagehands.

Zhai Yuan raised his glass and clinked it with Chen Shilong's. He said proudly, "Based on this short film, after the filming of Hiroshima Monster is finished, you will definitely be an international superstar. I guarantee it!"

It's a pity that even the most popular artist Wan Ziliang is not big enough to cause a sensation.

Otherwise, Zhai Yuan would really be reluctant to give away such a good star-making hotspot to Jiahe’s people.

No matter how many celebrities have been hyped for their entire lives, they cannot get such a hot topic. In just three or two days, the photos and videos of Chen Shilong holding a pineapple have swept across East Asia. If there is a hot search list at this time, this news will definitely top the list.

"With perfect publicity and promotion, Mr. Zhai's script, your popularity, and my limited directing skills, he will definitely become an international superstar!"

The fat on Wang Jin's face was curled up into a ball with a smile. He had a premonition that this play would be the peak of his career, so he took the initiative to come over and flatter the actor.

Although it was a bit like popping champagne at halftime, the atmosphere was so high that Chen Shilong couldn't help but look forward to the performance of "Hiroshima Monster" when it was released.

Nowadays, almost no one in Hong Kong can afford to hire me, so I can only rely on the international market to enter North America. The difference between earning US dollars and earning Hong Kong dollars is still quite big.

Chen Shilong rubbed his nose and joked, "If I had known that I would have to cooperate with the publicity and promotion, I should have charged you an extra 100 million yuan."

"Forget about money in a win-win situation like this~" Zhai Yuan said with a smile, "Besides, I bring you to Japan to film, which is better than going to a barren place like Yugoslavia to film that stupid movie 'Dragon Brothers', right?"

From Chen Shilong's short hair style at that time, Zhai Yuan guessed the project he was originally going to take.

The movie "Dragon Brothers" which is said to have almost caused Chen Shilong to die in Yugoslavia.

Now that I've brought you back from the brink of death, you still want more money? Pick! I didn't think twice before speaking. Is 60 million a lot for me saving your life?
……

After the party at the restaurant, Chen Shilong led his martial artists to the second half to continue having fun.

Brother Long is a righteous and generous man, and the martial artists of the Chen family are also famous for their good treatment in Hong Kong.

A certain female star once revealed that when they were filming in Hong Kong in the past, the Chen family would even prepare a room specifically for the martial artists and find beautiful girls to help them relieve their sexual desires. There was even a famous scene where a martial artist's wife came to the set to catch him cheating.

Otherwise, people would call me big brother.

Now that they have arrived in Japan, these guys are bound to bomb Tokyo again tonight with continuous artillery fire.

After all, martial arts is a short-lived profession, injuries are common, and enjoying life while you can is an unspoken rule of the industry.

"Bah! You don't have male ethics!"

Zhai Yuan looked at the backs of a group of people leaving in a mighty stream, raised the moral stick high and spat.

He leaned on Zhong Chuhong's shoulder and said, "Hey, Sister Hong, you can't handle the alcohol."

Zhong Chuhong had no interest in this kind of socializing, and was in low spirits at the dinner table. She finally made it to the end, only to be stuck with a piece of taffy.

"Your head is so heavy!"

Zhong Chuhong shrugged in disdain, but failed to shake off the sticky candy, and sighed helplessly: "Can you call your Japanese girlfriend named Michiko to pick you up?"

"She's just my translator, don't think too much about it."

"...I miss you so much, you big-headed ghost!"

After Wang Jin and Liang Jiahui finished peeing, they also walked out of the restaurant.

Liang Jiahui was as tactless as ever. Seeing Zhai Yuandong staggering, he quickly came over to help him up.

"Mr. Zhai, are you feeling unwell? I'll take you back to the hotel to rest."

Zhai Yuan leaned on Zhong Chuhong's shoulder and glanced at him.

I doubt that you were banned because you went to the mainland to film.

"Ah Hui, come over and have a chat."

At the critical moment, Fatty Wang had to come to the rescue. He pulled Liang Jiahui aside without saying anything and scolded him in a low voice: "Damn you! Can't you see that Mr. Zhai is picking up girls?"

Liang Jiahui looked back with wide eyes: "No way, Mr. Zhai is younger than Sister Hong."

"Girls who are three years older than you are already rich, so why should you care?"

Wang Jin said unhappily, then smiled and waved at Zhai Yuan, saying loudly: "Boss, Ah Hui and I still need to discuss a few scenes in the script, so I'll leave first~"

Without waiting for a response, he quickly pulled Liang Jiahui into the car and started the engine in one go.

Seeing this, Zhong Chuhong's pretty face changed color and she rushed over: "Wait, I haven't gotten in the car yet!"

The fat guy ignored him, stepped on the accelerator, and the black Toyota rushed out of the intersection.

Only Zhong Chuhong was left standing on the side of the road, stamping her feet anxiously.

"It's over. I won't be able to get a taxi this late."

Seeing the car lights going away, Zhai Yuan looked at Zhong Chuhong with regret, and sighed faintly: "It seems that we can only find a hotel to stay temporarily and go back tomorrow."

Zhong Chuhong narrowed her eyes: "Despicable!"

"Baby? You want a baby?" Zhai Yuan was surprised, then he rubbed his hands and laughed: "Isn't the progress too fast?"

As the old saying goes, the late emperor did not think his subjects were humble. It just means that the old emperor was unwilling to give me a child.
President Zhai understood the deep meaning and hurriedly took Zhong Chuhong to the nearest hotel to book a room.

Sister Hong is also a passionate person. She flirted with Mr. Zhai with her seductive eyes and said that she wanted to have a glass of red wine first to liven up the mood.

When Mr. Zhai returned to the hotel with a bottle of extremely expensive LePin, full of confidence.

As expected, the door of the room was locked from the inside.

"This is really too much!" Zhai Yuan had never been humiliated like this since his debut, and he immediately called Fatty Wang: "Banned! Must ban! Must ban actors like Zhong Chuhong who do not abide by the spirit of the contract..."

…………

Hiroshima, Oriental.

A city where the temperature reached 6000 degrees Celsius forty years ago.

In October, the weather gradually turns cooler.

This year, the filming of the company's two dramas in Japan, "Lost in Translation", has been completed halfway, but it has basically received little attention.

"Hiroshima Monster" was completely different. It caused quite a stir in the local area as soon as it started filming.

It also once again allowed Zhai Yuan to witness Chen Shilon's popularity in Japan.

When my brother was filming a movie, all the major TV stations in Japan would actually send reporters to follow and film the entire process, and the scene was even bigger than when he was in Hong Kong.

"As expected of a half-Japanese."

Zhai Yuan took Fatty Wang's seat, leaning back in the director's chair and glancing at the monitor from time to time.

Since the iteration of filming equipment, he has gradually found some of the feeling he had when he was a director, and started to give instructions on the set.

When the producer staggered to the set, he happened to catch the end of filming a scene.

"CUT!"

As Wang Jin shouted, Liu Wei Qiang turned off the camera, the sound engineer put away the microphone, Deng Ye put away the lighting board, and the actors on the set withdrew from their states.

Wang Jin praised: "Not bad, everyone performed very well in this scene."

Today's scene is about Chen Shilong's family of four escaping from the quarantine area, searching for their daughter in vain, and having a dinner together in an abandoned warehouse at night.

The cramped warehouse creates a dark and messy atmosphere.

Chan Shih-lung, Chung Fok-hung, Leung Ka-fai and Paul Chun huddled together, creating a scene of sadness and helplessness.

The shooting was over and the director and actors stretched their muscles and relaxed.

"Is Mr. Zhai here?"

"Ah."

Zhai Yuan responded casually, then sat down in the director's chair and replayed the images on the monitor.

After looking at it for a few times and frowning slightly, Zhai Yuan raised his hand to the crew members who were exchanging ideas nearby and shouted, "Hey, I think this scene is inappropriate."

Wang Jin looked at Zhai Yuan in surprise, then turned his gaze to Zhong Chuhong's face.

Did you see that? You offended him, and now the whole crew is in trouble!

Zhong Chuhong also frowned. It was common for female stars to be targeted and treated badly for refusing to accept the unspoken rules, but she didn't expect Zhai Yuan to do the same. She couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

When the other actors saw that the director and the producer had different opinions, they were stunned and stopped where they were waiting.

Wang Jin quickly came up and smiled apologetically: "Mr. Zhai, what's wrong? I think it's good."

After hearing this, Zhong Chuhong felt more and more that it was because of the incident in the hotel. She quickly stepped forward without saying a word and looked at Zhai Yuan with a questioning look.

"Sister Hong, even though you made me stand in the cold wind on the street for half an hour in the middle of the night, I am not a petty person."

Zhai Yuan laughed and shook his head, beckoning her to come over to the monitor, then turned to Wang Jin and said, "Nowadays, we are shooting a monster disaster movie, not a family drama like the one in Hong Kong. With the background lighting so dim, the performance style should be more gloomy. Hey, why do the four members of this family pick up food for each other during the dinner, and show encouraging smiles to show warmth? And then Chen Shilong..."

Zhai Yuan asked Brother Long to come over again and said with a stern face, "You changed the play, sir? You dare to change my script? We were all eating peacefully, smiling and encouraging each other, so I didn't care. But you suddenly slammed the table and got mad. What do you mean?"

"I have discussed this scene with the director."

Chen Shilong pointed at Wang Jin, gesticulating and explaining with a bit of pride: "In the play, my daughter was abducted by a monster and her life or death is unknown. I was also locked up in a quarantine area for a period of time, so my sudden outburst was because the character couldn't suppress his anger. In such a calm atmosphere, a sudden boom and an outburst, isn't it very feel-good?"

Zhai Yuan listened to him patiently and exhaled, "You are too emotional. It is not logical and does not fit the character of Oriental people."

One of the reasons why most Hong Kong actors are not good at making art films is that their emotions are too expressive, and it seems that their acting skills cannot be seen unless they add some small movements during filming.

Normally, this style of performance is acceptable in surreal and romanticized gangster and police films, but it is somewhat inappropriate in this scene in "The Host".

Seeing the big picture from the small, later South Korea learned this from Hong Kong films, and it became more and more intense, habitually piling up elements, with characters yelling like crazy. It might seem exciting when you first watch it, but after a long time it will inevitably become superficial and aesthetically fatigued.

"In a word, no smiling, no encouragement, no getting mad, no anything."

Zhai Yuan called the actors together and acted like a tyrant on the set: "Your family of four just escaped the quarantine area. You've been running from day to night in the play. You're tired and hungry. You don't even have the energy to talk. How can you have the energy to do other small actions? Just eat with big mouthfuls. The more delicious the food, the greater the contrast. But don't do that kind of low-level performance where you look delicious and enjoy it after taking a bite, OK?"

Zhong Chuhong's cheeks turned red. Although the last sentence did not mention anyone by name, it was obviously referring to her.

In the surveillance camera playback, Zhong Chuhong picked up the bowl of instant noodles and drank the soup. The picture was frozen on her face, which was covered in dust but full of satisfaction.

In the warm situation just now, this performance was barely acceptable, but it was indeed out of place in the helpless and desperate style that Zhai Yuan required.

The others seemed to be thinking about something, but did not dare to interrupt.

Chen Shilong, who was the most famous, coughed and said, "I think..."

Zhai Yuan said dissatisfiedly: "Nephew, I don't care what you think, I care what I think. Just shoot it according to what I say."

As he spoke, he pointed at Wang Jin, Liang Jiahui and Qin Pei in a seemingly unreasonable manner: "Do you have any objections? Do you have any objections? Do you have any objections?"

Several workers laughed and shook their heads.

"Boss, can you please listen to me?" Chen Shilong said helplessly: "I mean, can we take a break during the intermission? I ate three buckets of instant noodles in the previous scene, and I can't stand it anymore..."

During the intermission, the crew did not even pack up their equipment and disbanded.

The actors strolled around to digest their food and free up space for the next shoot.

"Do you think I'm bossing you around? Or do you still think I'm targeting you?"

Zhai Yuan saw that Zhong Chuhong was still staying next to the monitor and asked with a smile.

Zhong Chuhong looked at Zhai Yuan with curiosity and said half-jokingly, "It's just a little unexpected. I thought you only knew how to pay directors to do things, but I didn't expect you to have some insights into filming."

"I see. You are attracted by my talent. Is the next step to pledge your love to me?"

"Ha~" Zhong Chuhong raised the corner of his mouth and said jokingly, "I have paparazzi following me now, aren't you afraid of causing a scandal and being seen by your girlfriends in Hong Kong?"

This word "we" seems so spiritual~
