Against the Current Hong Kong 1979

Chapter 94 Empress, please help me choose beauties for the harem (2nd update, please subscribe)

Studying is a very energy-consuming activity, such as doing problems, especially the more challenging ones.

At this point, one must be fully focused and concentrate all one's energy to overcome each and every difficulty.

Zhang Shuai'an used to be a good student who loved doing problems. He even privately asked his teachers for help, and he was so obsessed with it that he couldn't extricate himself.

That's why his grades have always been pretty good.

This time, while solving the difficult problem, he also discovered another wonderful use for his "innate superhuman strength".

He knew the extent and scope of his [innate divine power], which meant that his control over the power had reached an exquisite level.

When he writes, he can control the pen freely, making the handwriting varied and the colors deep and shallow.

Sometimes, with a strong pen stroke, the characters written are vigorous and powerful, penetrating the back of the paper;

Sometimes it is as light as a feather, like scratching an itch through a boot; the handwriting is ethereal, as if falling from the clouds, with no idea where it came from or where it is going.

What the answer is, it doesn't really matter anymore.

Both of them have grown significantly during the learning process and gained something worthy of this exchange.

Zhang Shuai'an looked at Chung Chu-hung with some lingering interest: "Would you like to solve another bonus question?"

"What came from here?"

Chung Chu-hung looked completely bewildered: "Don't say things I don't understand. The food isn't even ready yet."

"Let's just order takeout from the restaurant."

Zhang Shuai'an held her in his arms, "We have more important things to do."

"That's enough, are you going to do it again?"

Chung Chu-hung frowned and slapped him: "What do you take me for?"

Zhang Shuai'an kissed her forehead and whispered, "You're my girlfriend."

"That's more like it." Chung Chor-hung smiled shyly.

It was almost midnight when the two finally stopped making love, but they were too exhausted to cook.

Zhang Shuai'an, however, was still full of energy. He picked up the landline and called a nearby restaurant to order a table of delicious food.

The two took a shower together. Chung Chor-hung didn't have many clothes to wear, so she could only put on Cheung Shuai-an's white shirt.

Right now, I'm in the living room, watching TV and waiting for my takeout to arrive.

Zhang Shuai'an is over 1.8 meters tall, so his clothes are naturally loose. When he wore this shirt on Chung Chu-hung, the hem covered her thighs, making it look like a dress.

It looks rather tempting.

"Stop looking!" Chung Chu-hung noticed Zhang Shuai-an's strange gaze and immediately held up two fingers: "If you look again, I'll poke your eyes out."

Zhang Shuai'an said with a smile, "What part of you haven't I seen before? What's wrong with looking at you like this?"

"No way." Chung Chu-hung rolled her eyes and huffed, "You're probably thinking about those lewd things again. Those are made of flesh, do you think I'm made of iron?"

Zhang Shuai'an said speechlessly, "Do you think I'm a born pervert?"

"Isn't that right?" Chung Chu-hung chuckled. "When you first met me, your eyes were darting around like a sly fox. Were you already eyeing me then?"

Zhang Shuai'an didn't expect that Chung Chu-hung had noticed it back then. At that time, he was simply thinking about how to get close to her so that he could legitimately extract star points from her.

Chung Chor-hung's face showed a slightly smug expression: "I told you so, didn't I?"

"6

"So what if I guessed right? Watch out, or I'll execute you on the spot!"

Zhang Shuai'an stepped forward, picked her up in his arms, and carried her directly into the bedroom.

Chung Chor-hung's face turned pale instantly, and she struggled frantically, crying, "No, no! That's enough, really enough!"

"Snapped!"

Zhang Shuai'an slapped her on her pert buttocks. "Don't move. I just need you to help me look at the script and provide some reference for the actors playing some of the roles."

After landing, Cherie Chung saw the script Zhang Shuai'an handed her: "Is this the movie script you collaborated on with Golden Harvest?"

"Yes." Zhang Shuai'an nodded.

"Chasing girls?" Chung Chor-hung was taken aback when she saw the name, then continued reading.

A moment later, she asked with a judgmental tone, "Ah An, tell me honestly, are you using filming as an excuse to get close to pretty girls?"

"You guessed right!"

Zhang Shuai'an nodded seriously: "I have appointed you as my empress, and I will personally help you determine the candidates for the three palaces, six courtyards, seventy-two concubines, and three thousand beauties for the harem."

"Bah! Three thousand beauties in the harem? You wish!"

When Chung Chor-hung heard this, she didn't take it seriously and laughed, scolding, "Your kidneys are practically beehived from all that use."

"That's impossible!" Zhang Shuai'an struck a bodybuilding pose and retorted, "My strength is indestructible."

After some lighthearted banter, Cherie Chung began to seriously study the script and some of the character descriptions.

"This script is quite interesting."

As Chung Chor-hung watched further, she couldn't help but exclaim, "The perspective is quite unique; I've never seen a film like this before. And the character designs are all so fresh—so many different types of women, where did you learn that from?"

"I rely on my brain, I just fantasize," Zhang Shuai'an replied casually.

Chung Chor-hung scoffed; she didn't believe such nonsense, but she didn't pursue the matter further.

"Is this childhood friend role meant for me?"

She saw the character "锺" written under the character's description.

Despite being childhood sweethearts, the character played by Cherie Chung in the movie is actually several years younger than Roberto, played by Shek Tim.

However, they grew up together after all. According to the character's backstory, Chung's character was Shih Tien's little shadow when they were children.

Zhang Shuai'an nodded and said, "Yes, Empress, are you satisfied with my arrangements?"

"You 'I' my foot!" Chung Chu-hung glared at him irritably, then quickly noticed a hand groping her body and immediately snapped, "Don't mess around, I haven't finished reading yet."

"It's alright, you can look at yours, it's none of my business." Zhang Shuai'an's hands didn't stop, and he continued to tease, "Give me some advice, which of these beauties should I choose?"

Chung Chu-hung retorted angrily, "Didn't you already write that above? Why are you asking me?"

Zhang Shuai'an rested his head on her lap and said with a smile, "There are some that haven't been written down yet, and their names haven't been decided either."

He then asked, "For example, what would be a good name for the character you're playing?"

"Let's call her Ah Hong then." Chung Chu-hung was too lazy to argue and said directly, "The surname Chung, Chu, or Zhang are all fine."

"Let's keep the surname Chu, Chu Hong, Hong as in rainbow."

Zhang Shuai'an then reminded Chung Chu-hung, "In the early stages, you need to play a boy and act a bit ugly. Then, in the finale, when you put on a wedding dress, you'll make the audience gasp in amazement in the theater."

"You're always coming up with all sorts of tricks." Chung Chu-hung knew that would achieve a good dramatic effect.

Zhang Shuai'an pointed to the "white moonlight" character: "This character is the epitome of perfection in men's eyes, the type they dream of sleeping with at least once. What do you think of Debona?"

"Do you want to sleep with her once?" Chung Chu-hung asked with a grin.

Zhang Shuai'an wouldn't be foolish at this moment, and resolutely shook his head: "She's an old woman, why would I be interested? Besides, she's already married."

Chung Chor-hung retorted, "Zhao Yazhi got married too, didn't you let her go?"

Zhang Shuai'an stared straight at her: "Huh, are you trying to settle scores with me today?"

"Hmph!" Chung Chor-hung didn't respond, but changed the subject, saying, "Sister La is indeed the dream girl of many men because of 'Hong Kong Emmanuelle,' not to mention that her love story with Mr. Patrick Tse is in the newspapers every day, so she's very popular. However, her salary may be a bit high."

Zhang Shuai'an had an expectation in mind. He knew that in this era, the film salaries of Hong Kong female stars were basically below 100,000.

Zhao Yazi became the highest-paid actress in 1983 with a film fee of HK$25 per film, thanks to her roles in "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" and "Shanghai Bund".

Chung Chor-hung raised another concern: "Moreover, since getting married, Lala hasn't been taking on many jobs, so it might be difficult to get her to act in a film."

Zhang Shuai knew all too well the character of Di Bona and Xie Xian; they were incapable of staying quiet.

Back in 1977, Deborah said she wanted to retire from acting, but later, in order to afford that big villa for her wedding and the lavish wedding, she still took on quite a few films.

The same applies now. With their expenses, they simply can't make ends meet by carrying bags for big shots or acting as companions for wealthy women.

In fact, Deborah announced her comeback less than two months after giving birth in 1980.

Chung Chor-hung asked, "Who do you plan to cast as that pretty girl in the back?"

"I haven't decided yet." Zhang Shuai'an skipped this option. "But if it's the role of the young lady, I've found someone who's quite suitable."

"What about this next corporate executive?" Chung Chu-hung thought for a moment and suggested, "I think TVB's Cheng Yuk-ling would be more suitable?"

Zhang Shuai'an was indeed taken aback. Zheng Yuling is truly adept at playing this kind of harsh female executive. Her role as the annoying archaeologist in "Project Eagle" was almost exactly like that.

Zhang Shuai'an nodded: "You can write it down first. Next."

Chung Chor-hung read aloud, "What's next? What do you mean? You want to find a hot actress? Isn't this a bit of a repetition of 'white moonlight'?"

"They're different. The 'white moonlight' type is goddess-like, while this hot girl is a very energetic woman."

Zhang Shuai'an elaborated on the character's personality: "She travels around, gets pregnant, has no idea who the father is, and then tries to find the male lead to take the baby. She's the type who would sleep with someone on the very first day they meet."

Chung Chu-hung asked疑惑地问道, "What does 'taking over' mean?"

"It means becoming a father unexpectedly," Zhang Shuai'an replied.

Chung Chor-hung was even more confused: "Then what does 'surprisingly becoming a father' mean?"

Zhang Shuai'an casually explained, "It's when a man wins the heart of the woman he loves, only to discover she's pregnant with another man's child. This phenomenon is called 'unexpected fatherhood.'"

Chung Chu-hung pondered Zhang Shuai-an's answer for a moment, then shook her head and said, "You have quite a sharp tongue; how could you even think of such a word?"

Chung Chor-hung suddenly said, "I've thought of someone who might be suitable for this role."

"Who?"

Chung Chor-hung replied, "Cheng Man-nga, our Miss Hong Kong winner and Miss Photogenic this year, she has a great figure. She's also very open and enthusiastic."

Zhang Shuai'an had a slight impression of this woman.

Before he transmigrated, he seemed to have heard someone say that the goddess statue at the Hong Kong Film Awards was based on the figure of Cheng Man-ya.

This woman seems to have a famous saying: "You can marry me, but I won't have children or cook."
