"Brother! Are you really not going home with me to celebrate the New Year?"
In the waiting hall of Shenzhen Airport, Xiao Ma looked at Zhang Chu expectantly.
The day "Infernal Affairs" was finalized, it was already the twelfth lunar month. Zhang Chu was persuaded by Xiang Huaqiang and his wife to stay in Xiangjiang for two more days. Now there are not many days left before the Chinese New Year.
Before the Chinese New Year, Zhang Chu didn't want to do anything, so he gave Xiao Ma a long vacation.
"No!"
Zhang Chu agreed to Zhang Jingchu's return to the capital for the New Year, so naturally he could no longer go back to the Northeast with Xiao Ma.
"But you're alone, so it's strangely deserted during the New Year."
Zhang Chu smiled when he heard this: "I'm not as pitiful as you think. Okay, don't worry about me, just go in."
The announcement in the hall is already announcing the security check.
Seeing that Zhang Chu had made up his mind, Xiao Ma said nothing more.
"Okay, brother, if anything happens, call me."
Zhang Chu waved his hand, signaling Xiao Ma to leave quickly.
After watching Xiao Ma enter the security check channel, Zhang Chu left the airport and then took a bus to the train station.
Although the distance from Shenzhen to Beijing is a bit long, Zhang Chu still plans to take the train back.
Four tickets per person, the door is closed, you can read the script in peace and quiet.
When leaving Xiangjiang yesterday, Chen Lan had already informed Zhang Chu that the start time of the second part of "Hurricane Rescue" was set at the end of the first month. At that time, he would come over in advance to finish filming the Xiangjiang part, and then he would have to work with the crew. Depart for Japan.
This time the rescue mission is more complicated than the first one.
It was precisely because of the success of the first part that Xiang Huaqiang made up his mind to invest more in the second part.
Although it has not been decided yet, according to Xiang Huaqiang, the investment this time will be at least over 100 million.
When the sequel to "Operation Blade" is completed, it will be followed by "Night Stalker" in cooperation with Warner Bros.
The main filming locations of this drama are all in the United States. Although the plot involves Colombia, anyone with a little bit of brains knows that you cannot go to that place.
Big D Owl in Black Colombia, if you dare to go there to film a scene like this, I'm afraid you will go there but not come back.
Just like that, there was basically no idle time in the first half of the year.
"You just got on the train and you didn't go to class?"
As soon as they finished packing, Zhang Jingchu called.
"get out of class has just ended and the holiday is about to begin. Are you coming back by train?"
Zhang Jingchu's previous drama has been completed and she just returned to school recently.
"Um!"
Every time he takes a plane, Zhang Chu feels as if he has gone through hell. Unless he has no choice, he will never take a plane.
"What time do you arrive in the capital? I... will pick you up!"
"No, it's midnight when I arrive in the capital, and Sister Hua has arranged for someone."
"That's okay."
There was silence for a moment.
"You have agreed with your parents that you won't go home during the Chinese New Year!"
"I told you! I'll go back after the seventh day of the lunar month!"
In order to stay in the capital to celebrate the New Year with Zhang Chu, Zhang Jingchu lied to her parents and said she was still filming here.
After chatting for a few more words, Zhang Jingchu still had to go to class, so she hung up the phone.
The school is about to have a holiday.
Taking a train from Shenzhen back to Beijing can take more than ten hours at the fastest, with a "bang bang" all the way, from day to night, and finally arrived at the destination in the middle of the night.
Zhang Chu was awakened by the broadcast, quickly packed his things, wrapped himself tightly, and got off the train with the crowd.
I called the person arranged by Wang Jinghua and the two quickly met in the parking lot.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Zhang Chu said and directly handed over a cigarette. This is called human nature. He was waiting here in the middle of the night just to send him home. He couldn't do it without a little expression.
The driver didn't expect Zhang Chu to be so polite, so he accepted the offer after rejecting it.
As soon as he got in the car and leaned back in his chair, Zhang Chu fell asleep.
The weather in Beijing is completely different from that in Xiangjiang. It is dry and cold. When I came out just now, I saw that there was still some snow in the flower beds.
It's another cold winter.
When the car arrived at the door of his house, Zhang Chu was woken up by the driver and dragged his luggage in.
During the day, Wang Jinghua had someone come and clean the house. The inside and outside of the house were very clean, and it didn't look like it had been idle for a long time.
It's just too deserted and lacks some fireworks.
Zhang Chu was very tired. After a simple wash, he went to bed.
I don’t know how long I slept for, but I was woken up by the ringing of the phone. I picked it up and saw that there were more than a dozen missed calls on it.
They were all called by Zhang Jingchu.
"Hello!"
"You are at home?"
"Um!"
Having just been woken up, Zhang Chu is still a little confused.
His time on the set of "Infernal Affairs" was not easy.
Filmmakers in Xiangjiang pay attention to high efficiency. The shooting cycle of a film is three months, which is very common in the mainland, but in Xiangjiang, it seems a bit delayed.
Liu Weiqiang also slowed down the filming process in order to strive for excellence and ensure the quality of the finished film. Otherwise, Zhang Chu would have to see what Xiangjiang speed is.
"Why didn't you call me when you arrived?"
Zhang Jingchu's tone was filled with complaints.
Yesterday, she didn't sleep well all night. She got up from time to time to check the time. Zhang Chu never called. She was really worried. She wanted to call Zhang Chu, but she was afraid that he had already fallen asleep and disturbed him to rest.
It took a lot of effort to stay up until dawn, and it took more than a dozen phone calls to wake Zhang Chu up.
"It was past two o'clock when we arrived at the station yesterday. I was afraid of disturbing you."
Zhang Chu touched the cigarette, lit one, took a deep breath, and felt that his brain was clearer.
Knowing that Zhang Chu was fine, Zhang Jingchu felt relieved.
"Then... sleep a little longer, and I'll call you again at night!"
Zhang Chu responded and waited for Zhang Jingchu to hang up the phone before putting down the phone.
After smoking, Zhang Chu did not intend to lie down anymore.
After changing clothes, I was about to wash up when I opened the door and realized that it was snowing again.
After coming to this era, Zhang Chu's deepest feeling about winter is that there is not as much snow at this time as before.
In the past, as long as winter entered, there would be another one every three days. The weather was so cold that even in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, people would freeze to death from time to time.
Every day, the soldiers patrolling the city would pull a dozen carts of frozen corpses out of the city.
Only now did Zhang Chu know that it was called the Little Ice Age.
Rather than saying that the Ming Dynasty perished at the hands of rogue bandits and Jianlu, it would be better to say that it was destroyed by the disaster of the Little Ice Age.
After washing up, Zhang Chu went to the breakfast shop at the entrance of the alley to fill his stomach. Some people recognized him, but they were not as crazy as the fans in Xiangjiang. Some people came up and asked for an autograph and a photo, and he was satisfied with them one by one.
If a celebrity takes off that mysterious coat, he will be no different from ordinary people.
Eating the same breakfast, who gets more than the other.
After breakfast, the snow was getting heavier and heavier. Zhang Chu just stayed at home, reading scripts and watching TV. He didn't have to think about the characters. He lived a very comfortable life.
Before noon, Wang Jinghua came to the door, and Wang Zhongjun came with her.
This time "Hurricane Rescue" was a great success, and Huayi Brothers, who participated in the investment, also made a lot of money.
Now preparing to shoot a sequel, Wang Zhongjun will naturally not miss it.
He was even more attentive to the great hero Zhang Chu.
No, he brought mutton with him when he arrived, which made Zhang Chu's lunch a matter of course.
"Where's Li Chengru's copper hot pot last time?"
Wang Jinghua rummaged around for a long time but couldn't find it. Finally, Zhang Chu dug it out from a pile of debris in the ear room.
After washing and burning charcoal, the three of them set up the hot pot in the living room of the main room.
Before sitting down, Wang Jinghua winked at Zhang Chu.
Big Lao Wang has something to do today!
Sure enough, after eating for a while, Wang Zhongjun mentioned the cooperation. It was not "Hurricane Rescue" with Yongsheng, but the cooperation between Huayi and Zhang Chu.
The success of "Hurricane Rescue" has skyrocketed Zhang Chu's popularity in China. How could Huayi miss this opportunity? Naturally, it wants to reap the benefits.
"Big director, big production, all-star cast, now Jiang Wen has been decided, just waiting for your nod!"
Ginger pattern?
When Zhang Chu heard the name, he immediately thought of the bottle of red wine worth tens of thousands of francs.
"What are you talking about?"
Wang Zhongjun briefly introduced the plot of the story.
The background of the story is set in the Tang Dynasty, and the location is in the Western Regions. The main characters are a border guard captain who is wanted because he is unwilling to kill prisoners, and the other is an envoy sent to the Tang Dynasty from Japan who is a policeman.
Without waiting for Zhang Chu to speak, Wang Jinghua rushed to say: "It's better to wait until you read the script before making a decision. It's almost the Chinese New Year, and it won't last for a day or two."
Wang Zhongjun wanted to settle it as soon as possible, but since Wang Jinghua said so, he no longer insisted.
"Okay! Let's go back and ask Sister Hua to bring the script."
Then they talked about the sequel of "Hurricane Rescue". Wang Zhongjun had already contacted Chen Lan, but his attitude towards continued cooperation was not clear, which made Wang Zhongjun a little anxious.
Who wouldn’t want to participate in a project that is sure to make money without losing money? Huayi is not the only one in the mainland. Chen Lan’s attitude is unclear. It is nothing more than a matter of profit distribution.
After all, it is Yongsheng who is the main investor, so naturally it will be divided more. It is obviously impossible to divide the accounts according to the investment ratio like the first part.
Wang Zhongjun hoped that Zhang Chu would help him speak, but Zhang Chu was not stupid. He had no friendship with the Wang brothers. At most, he had Wang Jinghua's face in this.
But obviously Wang Jinghua didn't want the Wang brothers to eat too much.
Once people are full, they tend to think about what they have and what they don’t have.
Between Wang Jinghua and Wang Zhonglei, although Wang Zhongjun acted as a peacemaker and suppressed it last time, the conflict still existed.
A few days ago, because of the cooperation between Zhang Chu and Warner, Wang Zhonglei opened fire on Wang Jinghua without warning.
From what the other party meant, it seemed as if Wang Jinghua was guarding his own interests and seeking benefit for himself under the banner of Huayi.
In the end, they broke up unhappy. Wang Jinghua was obviously not as concerned about Huayi's affairs as before.
Wang Jinghua also complained to Zhang Chu about these things when he was on the phone with him.
Zhang Chu can still tell the difference between closeness and distance.
Wang Jinghua was wronged, so Zhang Chu naturally wanted to side with her.
Therefore, when Wang Zhongjun proposed cooperation with Yongsheng, Zhang Chu simply played dumb and refused to accept the offer, no matter what he said.
Not a single thing he wanted to do was accomplished, and when Big Lao Wang left, his expression was obviously not very good.
After sending the two of them to the car, Zhang Chu just returned to the house and received another call from Tang Wei.
"Can you come to school? Take me to the train station!"
