Chapter 326 Sleepless All Night
It’s December in Beijing, and it’s chilly.
The few people who came over from Xiangjiang overnight were still a bit unable to adapt for a while.
Standing downstairs in the hotel, Liu Yongzhe wrapped his woolen coat around himself, muttered another curse, and then followed Cheng Guangzu inside.
Upon entering, ample heating dissipates the cold.
What's more powerful than the heating is Liu Yongzhe's rapidly changing smile. Because right in the hall, they saw Xu Xiyu who came to pick someone up.
It was already early in the morning, and they thought the two parties would not see each other until tomorrow.
They never expected that Xu Xiyu would come to the hotel to pick them up.
This made Cheng Guangzu feel more comfortable, and Liu Yongzhe and others naturally felt that they were very dignified, so they stepped forward and greeted Mr. Xu politely to the left and Mr. Xu to the right.
Be a human being.
Still have to be realistic.
If you say weird things behind your back, no one will care. But if you still go crazy in front of someone, it means you feel too comfortable. This person named Xu is not a good person.
Just like that, a group of people, with "realistic" smiles, led by Shan Xinbao, entered the suite booked for Cheng Guangzu.
After coming in, there was naturally another round of small talk.
However, as I just said, it is already early in the morning, and Xu Xiyu can pick them up here purely because he respects the character of his partners.
So, after chatting for a few words, he planned to leave.
But how could Cheng Guangzu let him leave like this? He quickly asked tentatively: "Xu Sheng, please read that script..."
When Xu Xiyu heard this, he deliberately turned to Shan Xinbao and said, "Xinbao, have you brought the script?"
"I brought it, but I only printed two copies. It's so late, I thought Mr. Cheng planned to take a rest and go to the company tomorrow." Shan Xinbao replied with a smile.
"Mr. Cheng, it's so late, why don't you have a good rest?" Xu Xiyu turned to look at Cheng Guangzu again.
"I usually don't sleep very much. It's still early for me at this point. Miss Shan, since you printed two copies, why don't you leave one for me to look at?" How could Cheng Guangzu be able to sleep without taking a look at the script.
Shan Xinbao did not reply when he heard this, but looked at Xu Xiyu.
Xu Xiyu nodded and said, "Keep both copies."
After saying that, he turned to Cheng Guangzu and smiled: "Mr. Cheng, I will show you this script right now."
The meaning of these words is actually telling Cheng Guangzu to keep confidentiality.
Cheng Guangzu naturally understood. After all, everyone now knew that Xu Xiyu's ideas had been copied, and the company that copied his ideas was now in trouble.
Although these troubles are obviously internal problems of the East China Sea.
But both his peers and the general public who are paying attention to this matter all agree that this is Xu Xiyu's revenge.
It should be said or not, but the deterrent effect of this point is still very strong.
A company that had a bunch of financial backers and was about to be listed was just like this. Under such circumstances, if you want to violate his taboo, you really have to consider whether your head is strong enough.
Cheng Guangzu felt that his head was not hard enough yet, so he quickly expressed his position: "Don't worry, we will also participate in this project, and we will naturally ensure its safety."
When Xu Xiyu heard this, he smiled and nodded, and then left with the single core treasure.
After the door closed, Liu Yongzhe estimated that Xu Xiyu had gone far and lay down on the sofa.
While looking at the furnishings in the room, he said boredly: "Hey, this Xu Sheng is so romantic, and he doesn't know how to arrange some programs for us. Why don't he sleep after traveling so far?"
"I heard that Hua Qing has many beautiful newcomers. He just said that he will entertain us for dinner tomorrow. I don't know if he will bring them with him." The person next to him added.
When Cheng Guangzu heard this, he frowned and reprimanded: "Let me tell you, Xu Xiyu is very taboo about this. You should pay more attention to it in the future."
"Taboo? What is taboo?" Liu Yongzhe asked puzzledly.
He's not pretending not to understand, but he really doesn't understand.
If domestic entertainment harbors filth and evil, then Hong Kong entertainment is even more heavyweight.
What's the point of having a drink with a newlywed woman?
During the chaos, there were many male and female artists who were forced to make Category III films.
Seeing their expressions, Cheng Guangzu pointed at a few people and said sadly: "You guys, it's really...I can't say it, I can't say it. Can you open your eyes and see the world more when you have time?
Let’s find out what kind of personalities the current rising stars have. If your thinking is still stuck in the same old way, then we are really doomed. ”
"Hey, okay, okay, brother Zu, calm down and read the script. Don't talk about this, let's read the script." Liu Yongzhe saw that Cheng Guangzu seemed really a little angry, so he quickly got up and started to coax him.
Cheng Guangzu was too lazy to talk to them any more, so he found a place to sit down and read the script on his own.
When the four people who followed saw this, they looked at me and I looked at you, with helpless expressions in their eyes.
They really wanted to go to the Workers' Stadium, but seeing Cheng Guangzu reading the script here, it was definitely hard for them to leave.
Out of boredom, a few people were playing with their mobile phones in a daze.
As for Liu Yongzhe, he lay down on the sofa and picked up another script on the coffee table.
Looking at the three characters "Infernal Affairs" written on the cover of the first page, he couldn't help but think of the "Queen's Road" he said a few hours ago.
In an instant, he burst into laughter as if he had been struck by a smile.
This movement naturally aroused Cheng Guangzu's dissatisfaction. He glared, and Liu Yongzhe shrank his neck in response to the glare, raising his hand slightly to indicate that he was wrong.
After finishing these things, he turned his attention to the script of "Infernal Affairs".
Out of boredom, he felt that he needed to see what kind of Hong Kong movie scripts a man who had created a movie with a box office of 4.77 billion was. It would be fun if it made people laugh.
With this mindset, he flipped the script.
Preface:
"Nirvana Sutra Volume 19": The most of the eight hells is called the endless hell, which means suffering great suffering without interruption, so it has this name.
Seeing this paragraph, Liu Yongzhe's mouth began to tighten.
He is suppressing a laugh.
If it weren't for Cheng Guangzu, he would have laughed out loud.
Who writes scripts and writes such a thing?
This is too nonsense. With this mood and a suppressed smile on his face, he lowered his gaze and looked at the official script part.
Scene 1, temple, day, outside. (1991) [Han Chen, Liu Jianming, younger brother 1/2/3/4/5/6]
In the main hall, incense was burning brightly, and there was a loud roar. Han Chen, the gangster triad boss, clasped his hands together and raised them to his head, worshiping in front of the Buddha.
Han Chen (turned around to face the seven younger brothers): [Five years ago, in Tai Hing Estate, Tuen Mun, the parking stall of the Palace Restaurant opened with great success.
My brothers and I were very ambitious, but who knew that less than half a month after opening, we were raided an average of 1.3 times a day, and within a year, 6 brothers died. 】
Han Chen (turned around and clasped his hands to worship Buddha again): [Buddha bless you! 】
Han Chen (turns around): [My life is called one general’s success and ten thousand bones withered, but I don’t agree. I think it is up to you to decide whether you want to live or die.
Your days with me are the shortest and your wealth is the cleanest. It is up to you to decide which way to go. 】
Share tea.
The boys picked up the teacups.
Han Chen (raising a glass): [Okay, I wish you all the best in the Police Investigation Department. Cheers, Sir! 】
Seeing this, Liu Yongzhe muttered in his heart.
Okay.
Is Daqing a story about a gangster undercover?
This is too cliché.
Will the next step be to send someone inside to catch the mole?
Sure enough, no matter how good a creator is, there are areas where he or she cannot handle things well.
Thinking of this, he, who originally had a negative attitude, lost the intention to continue reading. His eyes began to glance towards Cheng Guangzu instinctively.
He originally thought that Cheng Guangzu would frown more deeply as he looked at it.
But the reality surprised him. Cheng Guangzu did frown, but his expression was more than just a frown.
In the few minutes Liu Yongzhe peeked, he could see Cheng Guangzu frowning, spreading his brows, being serious, and happy. Apparently, he was immersed in the script.
This instantly piqued Liu Yongzhe's curiosity.
Brother Zu, is he having a seizure?
Is this script that good?
With this doubt, his eyes returned to the script and continued reading.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it's really scary when you look at it.
The main film of "Infernal Affairs" lasts more than 100 minutes when played, but reading the text is much faster than watching the movie. If it does, it won't take 100 minutes at all.
50 minutes later...
Lying on the sofa, Liu Yongzhe covered the script on his chest.
He stared blankly at the ceiling, with a tone of doubt about life and an expression of disbelief, and muttered to himself: "I'm talking about it? Street boy, is it true or not? Is he really so talented that he is starting to overflow? ?”
"What's real or fake?" The person playing with his mobile phone next to him asked in confusion when he saw his sudden words.
Liu Yongzhe did not reply. Instead, he held the script on his chest in front of his eyes again, flipped to the first page, and started reading again.
This time, he looked much slower than before.
The same goes for Cheng Guangzu on the other side. He looked at it and stopped to think about it from time to time, as if he was constructing a picture in his mind.
Seeing such abnormal behavior of the two people, the other three people playing on their mobile phones really couldn't play anymore.
They didn't dare to disturb Cheng Guangzu, so they moved closer to Liu Yongzhe and asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhe, how do you think of this script?"
"Shut up, don't make any noise, aren't you watching?" Liu Yongzhe waved his hand dissatisfied.
"Didn't you just finish reading it? Show it to me."
"What can I show you? I haven't finished reading it yet. Okay, okay, stay here for a while, or you can go back to sleep." Liu Yongzhe's tone became more and more impatient.
Although he has various problems, as an old filmmaker, his appreciation of scripts is still online.
At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind.
This is really a fucking exaggeration. Is it possible that God is really chasing people who feed people in this world?
How could he, a mainlander, write such a good script with such a Hong Kong flavor?
Is this reasonable?
Is there any fucking royal law for this?
"Infernal Affairs" is really Infernal Affairs. How did you come up with this name? How did it get so good?
No wonder he can take the first place in the box office in film history. No wonder he dared to say he wanted to make a Hong Kong movie when Brother Zu came to visit.
Is Ganqing really capable of this?
Found a treasure.
Now Jiahe may have really found a treasure.
wrong.
No, no, I still can’t believe it. I have to read it a few more times, slowly and slowly, to make sure it’s not an illusion.
"Brother Zhe, turn the page, why are you always staring at this one?" Just when Liu Yongzhe's mind was full of random thoughts, the person next to him urged him to read the script with his head.
These words brought Liu Yongzhe back to his senses immediately.
The three flies buzzing around me were so noisy that it affected my way of judging the script.
So, he simply stood up and said to Cheng Guangzu: "Brother Zu, I'm going back to my room first. I'll study this script later."
When Cheng Guangzu heard this, he waved his hand without raising his head, indicating that he could leave.
Liu Yongzhe got the agreement, took the script and walked out.
When the three of them saw this, their hearts felt as if they had been scratched by a cat, and they were extremely itchy.
What's going on.
What's going on?
If you two act like this, we really won't be able to sleep.
Of course, not only were they unable to sleep, Cheng Guangzu and Liu Yongzhe were also in no mood to sleep.
