When Liu Qingshan received the call, his mouth was stuffed with a poached egg that Taylor brought over, so the emphasis of his reply was a bit unclear.
But when he heard that Luo Yuhuan's grandfather actually asked about the Zhang family, he immediately paid attention: "Yes, that family is indeed named Zhang. How come your ancestors still know the Zhang family?"
"It's not the Zhang family. My grandpa said there might be an old friend of his in that family!"
"Old friend? May I ask if your grandpa will live a long life this year?"
"It will be a hundred years old this June!"
Liu Qingshan's heart beat inexplicably. Bian Lianxi, who lived in the Zhang family, was in his nineties. It seemed possible that he was an old acquaintance of the old man.
More importantly, Bian Lianxi has been brooding over the murder of his former sect as a whole, and when he sneaked back to the sect's old site for a secret investigation, he mentioned that it was very possible that someone in the sect had survived and knew the enemy's clue.
"Okay, Director Luo," his tone immediately became serious, "Tell me your grandfather's phone number, and I will call the Zhang family immediately. If there is the person in their family, let him call you directly. How about family-ancestor relations?”
At this time, Luo Yuhuan still didn't realize anything, so he happily gave the phone number of his hometown.
Of course Wang Hongwei, who is already a hundred years old, does not have a mobile phone, but he has disciples around him, and there are many disciples, with dozens of them living there all the time.
While waiting to call the Zhang family, Liu Qingshan walked to the bedroom, turned around and closed the door.
This move was not to avoid something, but to pay special attention to it completely subconsciously, and involuntarily made myself cautious.
The person who answered the phone was Zhang Jinghua, the head of the Zhang family. He is also 70 years old this year. I have not met him yet.
Fortunately, Bian Lianxi was by his side at the time. After hearing Liu Qingshan's call, he became excited as expected: "Since that person's surname is Wang, I can probably guess who it is! But how did he know that I was hiding in the Zhang family? No, this matter must be cleared up as soon as possible!"
There were only these two sentences in the conversation between the two. After Liu Qingshan turned off the phone, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, or it would be more accurate to say he was a little anxious.
He had been looking for the legendary Hidden Sect forces, and when he suddenly heard that someone actually knew Bian Lianxi, he began to look forward to what was going to happen next.
But after more than half an hour, he still didn't wait for a reply, and he became a little restless.
At this time, Zhen Zijian and other people from Xiangjiang came to visit his room, so he ignored it for the time being.
Accompanied by Hong Dabao, Chen Zuming and Kunal, Zhen Zijian said as soon as he entered the door: "Our "The Fuse" will also be released after the Spring Festival. Do you have time to attend the premiere then?"
Liu Qingshan asked a few people to sit down, shook his head and said with a smile, "It may be a bit late because I won't be able to return to the Cold Country until March!"
"The premiere is scheduled for February 25th. You do your best, but I also know that it is your first time to meet your mother-in-law. There are some things that are not too troublesome for you, but you have to leave Kunal and the others with me. !”
"What? They only have a few figures from behind in the film, and most of the shots are stand-ins. Does it make sense to have them take the stand?"
"I'm not inviting them to the platform, but there is a live martial arts performance, which requires a lot of capable people to participate! In fact, I value Sheng Yang and Xiang Ling more. Unfortunately, they are master-level figures, and I don't dare to invite them even if they are willing to come. Ah, how could a great master get involved in such a trivial matter!"
"Actually, they are brother and sister. There are other reasons why they are not suitable to appear in public. Rejecting you is not their original intention. It has nothing to do with whether they are Grandmasters or not!"
In the past two days, Zhen Zijian and others have been sparring with the pair of senior brothers and sisters, or it is more true to say that they were beaten, especially Fan Shengyang, who is a true master who is about to enter the innate realm with one foot.
Zhen Zijian's strength is not higher than that of Zou Zhaolong, who plays Tony in "The Fuse", and the latter is only at the fourth level of the acquired world.
In the sparring session between them and Fan Shengyang, there was no chance for a fight. Even if the brother and sister were just passively defending, an accidental kick or punch could injure each other.
Therefore, Zhen Zijian and the others usually had only Kunale and a few other Tianzhu people as their targets for sparring. They were the two brothers Zhang Guodong and Zhang Guofu, who were also masters of the acquired fifth level. They had no great interest in fighting against these Xiangjiang martial arts practitioners.
Hong Dabao talked about another thing: "Sanyou Pictures sent someone to find me some time ago, saying that they wanted to come to you to apologize, but I found a reason to refuse!"
Liu Qingshan burst into laughter, "They have tasted the feeling of being ostracized. Today's Xiangjiang Kung Fu movies are gaining momentum. Because of me, both investors and producers will only choose to bypass Sanyou Pictures to establish projects. Seeing the great success It’s strange that I’m not anxious when I have a chance to make money but I’m struggling to get actors and scripts!”
Chen Zuming nodded, "Mao Lao and Fei Hua also came to my dad and said something about asking you to apologize, but they got scolded severely!"
"My eldest brother is willing to let them come because he is from the same hometown. I know this. I was at my eldest brother's residence to discuss the matter that day!" Zhen Zijian added.
Liu Qingshan looked at Hong Dabao: "Brother Dabao, if you have anything to say, just say it. If you mention this matter so abruptly, is there something hidden?"
Hong Dabao smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "It seems that nothing can be hidden from you! Then that Xu Xiangdong appeared. Before that, that person had not returned to Xiangjiang for several years!"
"It's someone who asked me to find you, right?" Liu Qingshan raised his eyebrows. He had been thinking about this name for a long time.
"He took the official route. A deputy director of the Administration Department invited me to the banquet in advance. He didn't tell me who else was present! Xu Xiangdong was right there, and he promised me five thousand as soon as he opened his mouth. Wan’s investment was politely rejected by me!”
"What is his request?"
"Just ask me to bring you a sentence, about being merciful and merciful, and saying goodbye in the world, etc. In short, they are some words used in the scene. I was still surprised at the time, because I said those quack words in front of the people of the Chief Secretary It’s not very suitable!”
When Hong Dabao said these words, his expression was slightly unnatural.
"He did it on purpose!" Liu Qingshan shook his head and said with a smile, "Or it is a kind of intimidation. The purpose is to arouse the dissatisfaction of the people in the Department of Government Affairs against me, because people who work in government affairs are most disgusted with unstable factors in society!"
He saw the other person's expression and understood the embarrassment in it. The meaning of shaking his head was more of a wry smile.
"I thought the same thing later, but I didn't react at the time. I was only focused on how to word it!"
"It doesn't matter, Brother Dabao. In fact, when you deal with these people in Xiangjiang, you don't need to consider my attitude at all, because Xiangjiang is the hometown of you and those people. I can understand based on local considerations! Moreover, Xiangjiang has different political opinions. The situation has always been common, don't underestimate the pressure from this aspect, after all, you and your brothers are still hanging around in Hong Kong!"
"That's what I say, but I'm still half a charlatan. I can't slander my friends behind their backs!"
"Brother Dabao, you haven't understood what I mean. Being able to have both sides is not just a derogatory term, but a smarter way to live in the world! I don't want my friends to be manipulated everywhere because of me. It varies from person to person and from place to place. Whatever you say, I will have a clear understanding of it. If Xu Xiangdong comes to you in the future, you must agree to his request. Isn’t it just a message? How could I have any other opinion about you!"
Hong Dabao's expression seemed to be relieved, "It's good that you can understand. I have been hesitant to say it before."
"If something like this happens again in the future, don't be embarrassed. Just do it when it's time to pat your chest, and make a promise when it's time to make a promise. You can even call me on the spot. None of this will affect our friendship!"
Liu Qingshan actually had a headache when he heard that his friend was caught in the middle and it was difficult to be a human being on both ends, but since similar topics were involved, he had to give a decisive attitude.
Otherwise, a vague statement may easily arouse random suspicion among friends.
In order to dispel Hong Dabao's inner uneasiness as soon as possible, he immediately looked at Chen Zuming: "Go back and tell your father that if people from Sanyou come to him in the future, they don't need to consider me if they have any cooperation projects. If you need to tell him, just tell him." There’s no need to hide it, just agree.”
He was obviously giving instructions to Chen Zuming, but in fact, he was giving other people a reminder that in business, there is no need to think too much. Making money is the most important thing.
As for the matter between him, Sanyou, and Xu Xiangdong, he didn't need these people to help avoid it. After all, Xiangjiang is such a big place, and the locals were all old acquaintances who didn't look up when they met, and they were no more than colleagues in the same company.
Hong Dabao obviously understood what he meant, and his attitude immediately relaxed: "Shanzi, please promise me to support the people in the Hong family class. I am getting old before my eyes, and there will not be many opportunities to participate in performances in person in the future. Got it!"
Liu Qingshan laughed loudly: "This is nothing to worry about. Whenever I go to Xiangjiang to film a movie in the future, I will definitely say hello to you first and try to include as many of your people as possible!"
"There's something I need your help with right now! Eason, you know, right? Yes, it's Chen Yixun. Although he is not from my Hong family, he is an old friend of mine. He called me a few days ago and wanted to I want you to help him write a song!"
"Brother Yi Xun, I've wanted to meet him for a long time! It's not a problem, it's just a song! Leave me his phone number and find an opportunity today to ask him what kind of music he wants!"
This was a big deal. Everyone knew that Liu Qingshan rarely wrote songs for people he didn't know. Someone once offered him five million for a song, but he rejected them all.
It's not that he doesn't want to earn this money, but he doesn't want to open this opportunity, because there are many people around him who can sing, and the demand is huge. He constantly helps outsiders to produce works, which can easily lead to various suspicions.
But Chen Yixun is different. Liu Qingshan has always liked this person's songs, and this person is the future biggest star among the new generation of singers, with influence throughout all Chinese-speaking regions.
Moreover, he would plagiarize many other people's future works. For this reason, Liu Qingshan also secretly repaid the favor.
