Chapter twenty nine
Chapter 29: The Cold-faced Laughter
Zhang Weijian and Zhang Yi separated and went home directly instead of going to other karaoke bars to find work as resident singers.
"Ah Jian is back, why so early? Aren't you going to sing in a karaoke hall to gain more singing experience? I say you might as well just sign up for the TV station's singing competition."
As soon as Zhang Weijian entered the house, his mother spoke.
"A woman's advice! Ah Jian, don't listen to your mother. If you want to participate, you must be fully prepared. First go to the singing hall to gain experience. If you participate in the singing competition next year, you will be a blockbuster. My old Zhang family can also make a star!"
His father said coldly.
"Hey, isn't it the preliminary round of the singing competition today? The TV station should be broadcasting it!" Mother Zhang said, switching the channel to the wireless TV station.
In the preliminary round, the TV station will not broadcast the entire song but only some exciting clips. There is no doubt that the song sung by Zhang Yi is the most outstanding.
By coincidence, Zhang Weijian looked at the TV and was stunned. On the TV, a clip of Zhang Yi singing "Existence" was playing.
""Existence" is dedicated to all kind and confused people!"
.....
Who knows where we should go
Who understands what life has become
Do you want to find an excuse to continue living?
Or spread your wings and stay angry
How do I exist
.....
It's him! He composes the music and sings the songs! Is what he said true?
"This song..." After a while, Zhang Weijian's mother spoke, but she didn't know how to describe the song. But his father was still deep in thought, as if he was thinking about something.
Someone who can write such a song should probably write a good script.
The next day, some media in Hong Kong reported about Zhang Yi and Zhou Huimin, but they were all written in small newspapers. The two songs sung by Zhou Huimin and Zhang Yi gradually spread, especially when people paid attention to the singing competition.
Everyone in the music circle knows that two excellent songs came out of this competition.
When Zhang Yi and Zhou Huimin came to school, the eyes of many students in the school changed when they looked at them. Zhang Yi didn't think it was anything, but Zhou Huimin was somewhat used to it.
"Just get used to it from now on! When you become famous, you will attract everyone's attention!" Zhang Yi comforted Zhou Huimin and said.
"Well! Ah Yi, do you think I can be famous? Can I become a big star?" Zhou Huimin nodded and asked a little unsurely.
"With me here, you will definitely become famous! Be popular all over Hong Kong, and even the world! Become a big star." Zhang Yi said confidently.
"Ayi, why are you so nice to me?" Zhou Huimin said with red eyes.
Is this girl so easily moved? Zhang Yi then smiled, scratched Zhou Huimin's nose, and said, "Because you are Xiao Min!"
On Sunday, Zhang Yi did not practice singing with Zhou Huimin, but made an appointment with Xu Guanwen through Hong Jinbao's relationship, hoping to confirm the male lead in "Nightclub".
Xu Guanwen did not release any more works after "Modern Bodyguard" the year before last year. I don't know if he encountered a bottleneck or for other reasons. Zhang Yi also knew that he only released "Teppanyaki" in 1984. Therefore, the schedule
The problem simply doesn't exist.
But Zhang Yi didn't know if Xu Guanwen would refuse because of his age and the fact that he had never made a movie before, fearing that it would damage his reputation.
There is no doubt that Zhang Yi is not a qualified lobbyist, otherwise he would not be suspected of being a lunatic by deceiving Zhang Weijian.
Hong Jinbao has a very high status in the film industry. Even the tycoons Zou Wenhuai and Shao Yifu have to give some face, otherwise they would not be called "Big Brother". Therefore, Xu Guanwen naturally has to give some face. Although his younger brother Xu
TPV is currently in a heated fight with New Art City, but after all, its original success was also due to Golden Harvest, not to mention that this movie is not a Golden Harvest movie.
In a coffee shop, Xu Guanwen walked into a private room under the shadow of the waiter. However, when he saw that there was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in the private room, looking up at him, he immediately said embarrassedly: "Sorry
,went to the wrong room.”
"Mr. Xu? I think you are not wrong!" Zhang Yi took a look and said with a smile.
Xu Guanwen was about to turn around and leave. Hearing Zhang Yi's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then turned to look at Zhang Yi, a little unbelievable. Hong Jinbao said that a friend of his was going to make a movie and wanted him to be the protagonist, so he made an appointment.
It’s a good time to talk. I didn’t expect that the other party was just a teenager?
Is this young man the friend Hong Jinbao said? Or is this person simply arranged by his friends to talk to him? If it is the former, Xu Guanwen feels a little unbelievable. If it is the latter, the other party is too disrespectful.
"Mr. Xu, please take a seat." Zhang Yi smiled and said.
Xu Guanwen looked at Zhang Yi but did not leave. After all, he was here, so he would take a look before talking. So he sat opposite Zhang Yi.
"Mr. Xu, what would you like to drink?" Zhang Yi asked politely.
"Just regular coffee." Xu Guanwen said.
Zhang Yi nodded, asked the waiter to serve coffee, and then said to Xu Guanwen: "My name is Zhang Yi, Mr. Xu can call me A Yi! I think Brother Sanmao has already told Mr. Xu. I will go straight to the point.
.I want to make a movie and I would like to ask Mr. Xu to be the protagonist of this movie."
"Mr. Hong did say that! Who is the director of this movie?" Xu Guanwen nodded and asked.
Zhang Yi glanced at Xu Guanwen. He knew that the other party was knowing the old name, and then smiled and said: "I will be the director!"
"Are you going to be a director?" Although Xu Guanwen already knew this, he was still a little shocked when he heard the other party say it himself.
"Yes! I wrote, directed and even invested in this movie myself." Zhang Yi said simply.
"Forgive me for asking, have you ever made a movie before? Or have you ever been exposed to movies?" Xu Guanwen frowned and said after hearing this.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi gave a wry smile and said, "I've never done any filming, and I've only been exposed to movies for a few months. But..."
"So you majored in film?" Zhang Yi was interrupted by Xu Guanwen before he finished speaking. Although his tone of voice was polite, it revealed some anger.
"Haha! No. I'm still in Form 5 now!" Zhang Yi smiled when he heard this. He knew that this time he was probably in doubt. It seemed that he was really not a qualified lobbyist.
"Still in Form Five?" Xu Guanwen was a little surprised when he heard this, and his voice was a little louder. He suddenly felt that it was a mistake to come here today. He could not imagine that Hong Jinbao would actually make such a joke with him.
A Form 5 student wrote a script and wanted to make it into a movie. He actually dared to invest in it himself! When did movies become a house? Could it be that he had too much money and no place to spend it?
Oh? I remembered it. I heard that Hong Jinbao said that the heroine of this movie is Zhong Chuhong. I am afraid this person is making a movie, but just playing. Picking up girls!
He has no interest in playing with these rich second-generation ancestors! It doesn't matter to him that the movie was ruined by her, but he is afraid that the reputation he has finally accumulated will be ruined.
The whole of Hong Kong will probably say that Xu Guanwen has not acted for more than a year, and whenever he does act, he stars in a bad movie.
"Yeah, I'm still in Form 5! Of course, if I hadn't been downgraded, I should be in Form 6 now!" Zhang Yi said with a smile. He knew that Xu Guanwen, the role of He Sanshui, would probably not be cast.
"If you invest in this movie yourself, why don't you find an experienced director?" Xu Guanwen looked at Zhang Yi and said. It's just fun to pick up girls, but there's no need to be so thorough.
"I promised others that I would make a movie myself!" Zhang Yi said honestly.
"Sorry, I won't accept this movie! You can have fun with the movie, but I can't!" Xu Guanwen said decisively. If it weren't for Hong Jinbao's face, he would have walked away long ago.
In his opinion, it was just nonsense.
"Mr. Xu, don't you want to read the script first before making a decision?" Zhang Yi said suddenly. He felt that his script should be able to attract Xu Guanwen.
"I don't think it's necessary! I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!" Xu Guanwen said, then stood up and left.
Looking at Xu Guanwen's leaving figure, Zhang Yi did not hold back. There are too many excellent actors in Hong Kong. Without Xu Guanwen, no one can play He Sanshui? Although he may be the most suitable, it does not mean that no one can play the role?
Is there no one who can act well?
