Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 424 Parting ways

"Sister Zhou, we're here!"

In the car, a voice woke up Zhou Wenji, who had just fallen asleep.

Since she drank a lot of wine at the party, when she got into the car, she quickly fell asleep due to the alcohol.

When I woke up at this time, I realized that I was already home.

"Xiao Xu, thank you for your hard work!"

"Sister Zhou, do you need me to help you back?"

Xiao Xu, who guest-starred as a driver, was Zhou Xingxing's assistant. She was temporarily pulled over by Zhou Wenji today. At this moment, her face was full of worry.

"No need, I'm not so drunk that I can't walk!"

Zhou Wenji declined Xiao Xu's kindness, opened the car door and got out of the car.

Not to mention, Hong Kong Island is still a bit cold at night, especially when the cold wind blows, which immediately makes Zhou Wenji's head clearer.

"Sister Zhou, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, drive slower and be careful on the road!"

After watching Xiao Xu drive away, Zhou Wenji turned and walked home.

I wandered to the door of my house, staggered open the door, and found that the house was brightly lit.

Zhou Xingxing, who was supposed to be filming on the set, was actually sitting on the sofa in the lobby reading comics.

"Why didn't you go to the filming?"

Zhou Wenji frowned.

"Today, my scene was filmed ahead of schedule. Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Xingxing put down the comics, looked up at Zhou Wenji, and found that the eldest sister was a little unsteady when walking, so he quickly stood up and came to help her.

"I'm fine, I just drank a little too much!"

With Zhou Xingxing's support, Zhou Wenji slumped down on the sofa, his whole face flushed under the light.

"Sister, drink some water!"

After Zhou Xingxing helped Zhou Wenji sit down, he quickly went to pour a glass of water for his eldest sister.

"Gudong Gudong..."

Zhou Wenji, who was already a little thirsty, quickly drank a glass of water, and his overall condition improved a lot.

"I'll pour you another glass!" Zhou Xingxing stood up again, poured a glass of water for his sister, put it on the coffee table, and then continued to ask: "What happened today? Why did you drink so much wine?"

"Isn't it because you are so famous now and everyone is vying to please you?"

Zhou Wenji looked really much better, and he was even interested in joking with Zhou Xingxing.

"Sister, please stop making fun of me!"

As he gets older, Zhou Xingxing's character becomes quieter and quieter. Even when facing his family, he doesn't talk that much.

"What are you reading? Comic magazines?"

Zhou Wenji casually picked up the comic magazine Zhou Xingxing was reading just now, took a closer look and found that it was "Second Dimension Youth Weekly".

She had heard about this comic a long time ago, and her brother also liked to read it, so he bought a lot of it. Even now, there are a lot of them at home.

However, she was not interested in those cartoons about fighting and killing, so she had never read them until now.

When she was young, she read "2D Girls Weekly", and it was to follow "Hong Kong Island Love Story"!

On the contrary, I was surprised that my younger brother, who is so old and has become a popular star in Hong Kong, is still reading comics like this for children.

"How old are you and are you still reading comics?"

"You really have grown up saying this from novels!" Zhou Xingxing rolled his eyes at his eldest sister, and then sat next to her.

"It's no use now, is it?"

"What else do you mean?"

"I..." After saying that, Zhou Wenji wanted to take action, which scared Zhou Xingxing into shrinking his neck.

The bloodline suppression between siblings is vividly reflected at this moment.

"How was your recent filming on the set?"

"That's right. They are all familiar people and it is a pleasure to work with them!"

"What about Director Wang's new play? Do you have a chance?"

When it comes to who is the most popular director in Hong Kong, there may be many candidates, but when it comes to the most popular director among bosses, it must be Wang Jing.

Since his emergence, no matter whether the movie is good or not, he has basically lost money.

In contrast, another director surnamed Wang, who won awards but was able to force his boss to pay and was hospitalized, is obviously unlikely to be welcomed by movie bosses!

Hearing his sister ask about this matter again, Zhou Xingxing shook his head impatiently, "There's no way he will choose me this time, sister, don't worry about it!"

"Why? Would he not want you, the king of comedy?"

"The male protagonist of the movie he is going to shoot this time is not very suitable for me, so I have no chance!"

Zhou Xingxing seemed unwilling to bring up this topic, so he simply replied.

"Come on, how can any Hong Kong movie follow the script properly?"

Sure enough, Zhou Wenji obviously didn't believe Zhou Xingxing's words and exposed him without hesitation.

In fact, just as Zhou Wenji thought, this was indeed Zhou Xingxing's excuse.

In the past two years, Zhou Xingxing and Wang Jing have collaborated in several dramas. From the outside, the two are simply a match made in heaven!

However, in fact, the relationship between Zhou Xingxing and Wang Jing is not good, at least, the current relationship is not good.

The two of them don't actually have many conflicts, but they still have many differences regarding the shooting and creative ideas of the movie.

Especially over the years, as Zhou Xingxing has made more and more movies, he has learned more and more about movies, so his understanding of movies has become deeper and deeper.

Therefore, from the beginning of this cooperation, Zhou Xingxing had differences with Wang Jing on many aspects of film shooting.

Wang Jing himself also had other ideas. He did not want to tie his success to one person, so he also came up with the idea of ​​​​looking for Zhou Xingxing's replacement.

Even whether it's "The Gambler" that was filmed before or "The Tricky Expert" that is currently being filmed, the real leading actor is actually Andy Lau. Unfortunately, Hua Zi is not good enough, and the limelight in the movie was taken away by Zhou Xingxing. , causing many subsequent viewers to think that Zhou Xingxing was the protagonist.

Therefore, the two of them had a tacit understanding of going their separate ways.

Zhou Wenji didn't know about this situation. She also wanted Zhou Xingxing to star in Wang Jing's new drama. After all, this drama included Li Wannian's comics and it was a hit movie no matter how you looked at it.

"Sister, let's not talk about this, okay?"

Seeing Zhou Xingxing and not wanting to talk about it, Zhou Wenji also decided not to persuade him today but to talk about it later.

At this time, she had already turned the magazine to the page of "Rurouni Kenshin" and found that this was the first episode, so she read on.

Needless to say, this narrated comic was very much in line with Zhou Wenji’s taste, so before she knew it, she had finished reading it!

"Sister, what do you think about us opening our own film company?"

"Well, that's good!"

At this moment, Zhou Wenji, who was reading comics, heard Zhou Xingxing asking herself and answered casually, but she quickly reacted.

She quickly put down the comic book in her hand, looked at Zhou Xingxing in confusion and asked, "Wait, what did you just say?"
