The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 616 Zhang Wanting

Although Zhong Chuhong's popularity has greatly increased in the past year, she has not made much money in Shaw Brothers. On the contrary, she needs to buy her own clothes every time she attends an event, so as not to be too shabby, and therefore spends a lot of clothing.In addition, a sum of money has to be handed over to the family every month, so her financial situation has not been very good.

In addition, after falling out with Shaw Brothers, her salary was gone, so now she can really be said to be struggling and destitute, probably the poorest artist in Hong Kong.

Seeing Ah SAM's album now, she originally wanted to buy it, but after the impulse passed, she suddenly realized that she had no money, and couldn't help but blush on the spot.

Seeing her embarrassed face, Xu Guanwu immediately realized her difficulty, couldn't help smiling, opened the door and walked in.After a while, he came out with Ah SAM's album.

"Here is a small gift for you." Xu Guanwu smiled, "You are also a fan of Ah SAM. If you feel homesick in the future, just listen to his songs. This album happens to have that song "Iron Tower Lingyun", I can comfort your homesickness."

When Zhong Chuhong heard what Xu Guanwu said, she couldn't help being moved and almost shed tears.

"Okay, actually, you don't have to worry too much. The United States is not as scary as you imagined." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Just think about it. After half a year, you can return to Hong Kong. And it's not like this time, Run away from Hong Kong like a bereaved dog, and return to Hong Kong in a happy and prosperous manner. At that time, all the men in Hong Kong will bow down under your pomegranate skirt."

When Zhong Chuhong heard what he said, she couldn't help but groan, "How could it be so exaggerated?"

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Although exaggeration is a little exaggeration, but if you study hard, you may not have such a day."

"Really?" Zhong Chuhong asked in doubt.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "I assure you, it will be true."

After hearing Xu Guanwu's words, Zhong Chuhong couldn't help but look forward to her life in the next six months.

"Okay, let's go for a walk." Xu Guanwu said to her with a smile, "Hey, someone seems to be shooting a movie in front." He suddenly pointed to the distance and said.

Out of the relationship between curiosity and profession, Xu Guanwu and Zhong Chuhong ran forward at the same time. After running two steps, they looked at each other again. They couldn't help but smiled at each other. Followed by another person.

"Let's go and have a look together." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

Zhong Chuhong nodded, and rushed forward with Xu Guanwu, and sure enough, she saw a lady carrying a video camera to shoot, but it seemed that she was not filming a movie, but just collecting folk songs, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but feel a little nervous. disappointment.

The woman noticed Zhong Chuhong, but her eyes lit up, and she immediately pointed the camera at her and took a picture.Out of professional habits, Zhong Chuhong immediately put on a Qiaoxiaoqianxi pose, and faced the camera with a smile.

Xu Guanwu frowned, took a step forward, and stood in front of the camera.

The lady froze for a moment, then turned off the camera and lowered it from her shoulders, "Sir, I'm sorry, I mean no harm." She said.

Xu Guanwu heard that she was speaking in Cantonese, and couldn't help but look at her differently, "Hong Kong people?!"

"Yes, you are also from Hong Kong?" The lady was taken aback and couldn't help asking with a smile.

Zhong Chuhong and Xu Guanwu nodded together.

The lady became more and more happy, "That's it, sir, I'm majoring in film, and I'm about to shoot a short film, but I don't have a heroine, can I borrow it from your girlfriend?"

"You misunderstood, she is not my girlfriend," Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "If you need help, just ask her yourself."

The lady couldn't help smiling, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood. Then, miss, can you do me a favor?"

"Okay, but how can I help?" Zhong Chuhong asked with a smile. She didn't pay much attention to being misunderstood as Xu Guanwu's girlfriend, because her personality is more free and easy, with a clear distinction between love and hate, yes or no, Nothing to tangle with.

"It's like this, you just need to be more natural and do your own thing later, just pretend that I don't exist." The lady said, "My homework topic is to photograph a person's daily life, but I am in the street. It took a long time to shoot, and when people find that the camera is pointing at them, they will always behave deliberately, which is not very natural."

Zhong Chuhong nodded, "Okay, I'll try my best, but if it doesn't work, then I'm really sorry."

But the lady laid out the book, "It's okay, I'm grateful for your willingness to help."

Zhong Chuhong smiled, "Then what should I do, just like shopping in the usual way?"

The lady nodded, "Yes, you can do it as you get used to it, and you can do it naturally, just don't act deliberately."

Zhong Chuhong nodded, "Mr. Xu, let's go then."

Xu Guanwu smiled. He didn't expect to encounter such a thing while shopping. He was also surprised that this lady's homework was really weird enough. It turned out to be to shoot people's daily life.It's not about making a documentary, why do you want to make this?
While wondering, Xu Guanwu walked forward with Zhong Chuhong.At the beginning, Xu Guanwu noticed that Zhong Chuhong still had acting elements, such as brushing her hair from time to time, exaggerating her walking posture, and becoming more cautious in her movements...

The lady didn't deliberately point out, but just followed behind with the camera on her shoulder without saying a word, really like a cloud of air.

Zhong Chuhong performed for a long time, but she received neither applause nor criticism. She couldn't help but feel puzzled, and she began to relax after being somewhat in control.

At this time, Xu Guanwu saw that the lady lightly pressed the switch, and the red light of the camera started to light up. He suddenly realized that the lady hadn't turned on the camera just now, and he just waited for Zhong Chuhong to get used to the camera and show a natural side. At that time, she began to officially record.

"Hehe, this lady is quite thoughtful." Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing.

I followed Xu Guanwu and Zhong Chuhong to shoot for half an hour. During the period, the two of them were just shopping. I thought this kind of image was too ordinary, but the lady was very satisfied.After the filming, he repeatedly expressed his thanks to Xu Guanwu and Xu Guanwu.

"By the way, you said you majored in film. I don't know which university you are from?" Xu Guanwu asked curiously.

The woman smiled. "I'm from USC Film School."

Xu Guanwu couldn't help being taken aback, "What a coincidence, this young lady will start school tomorrow."

"Huh?! The semester has already passed." The lady said in surprise.

"Oh, she's going to be an auditor." Xu Guanwu explained.

The lady nodded understandingly, "I heard that you must be recommended by someone to be an auditor, and you will also have to pay high tuition fees. I never thought that you are so powerful, with such a strong network, and can afford such an expensive one." money."

Xu Guanwu smiled and didn't say much about the society.

The lady stretched out her hand to Zhong Chuhong again, "Then I should call you a school girl, what's your name?"

"My name is Zhong Chuhong, senior sister, how about you?" Zhong Chuhong asked with a smile.

"My name is Zhang Wanting, you can call me Sister Ting." The lady said with a smile, "I am a student in the master's class of the film department. If you have anything to do, you can come to the film department to find me."

Zhong Chuhong nodded, "Thank you Sister Ting, I will trouble Sister Ting in the future."

"It's okay, don't meet outsiders. Since we all came to the United States from thousands of miles away, and we are single and weak, we need to help each other." Zhang Wanting said with a smile.

Zhong Chuhong nodded, and chatted affectionately with Zhang Wanting, mainly discussing whether the school is good or not, whether there are any special things that need to be careful, etc.

When the two were chatting, Xu Guanwu was a little surprised, because when he heard the name, he immediately thought of Zhang Wanting, a female director with the same name and surname in Hong Kong.

The female director and her husband Luo Qirui are a well-known husband and wife team in the Hong Kong film industry. I Love Twisted Chai", "BJ Le and the Road", "The Thief of Time" and so on.

Among them, "Autumn Fairy Tale" made Zhou Runfa and Zhong Chuhong popular at the time, and "Eight Liang Gold" made Zhang Aijia nominated for the Best Actress at the Academy Awards, and "The Thief of Time" also made Ren Da Won the Academy Award for Best Actor. "Seven Little Fortunes" also made Hong Jingbao win the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actor crown again after many years, proving that he does not know that he is good at kung fu, and his acting skills are also top-notch.

From this part of the awards, it can be seen that Zhang Wanting's films are of such high quality that they are quite rare.Xu Guanwu still remembers watching "Eight Liang Gold" back then, Zhang Wanting's filming of that kind of faint love, which made Zhang Wanting really wonderful, it would be impossible for any other director to shoot it so calmly. .

Xu Guanwu knows that there are two most famous female directors in Hong Kong. One is Xu Anhua, the director of "Crash into the Right", "Mad Robbery", "Day and Night in Tin Shui Wai", and the other is the director of "Seven Little Fortunes". , Zhang Wan of "Autumn Fairy Tale" is gone.

Although both are female directors, their filming styles are much more delicate than those of male directors, but director Xu Anhua's filming style is stronger, compared to Zhang Wanting's style is more graceful. Of course, although the two have different styles, they are both regarded as Very capable director.

Xu Guanwu had been begging Xu Anhua for a long time, but he never thought that today he would meet Zhang Wanting, who was not inferior to her, and might even get Luo Qirui, a famous screenwriter. It was quite a coincidence.

"Director Zhang, why don't we find a place to sit down and have a cup of tea?" Xu Guanwu invited with a smile, seeing such a good director, if we can't get to know him well, then it's really called entering Baoshan and returning empty-handed.

Zhang Wanting had been carrying the camera for more than an hour, half of her body was a little numb, when she heard Xu Guanwu's invitation, she nodded hastily, "I know there is a nice teahouse in front, I'll take you there."

As Zhang Wanting said, she brought Xu Guanwu and Zhong Chuhong to a teahouse not far ahead.The architectural style of this tea house is really a bit of a combination of Chinese and Western styles. The mixed style is even more outrageous than the architectural style of Hong Kong.

Zhang Wanting invited Xu Guanwu, and after Zhong Chuhong sat down, she ordered another pot of tea and three cages of barbecued pork buns, "I'm sorry, I'm just a poor student, so I can't treat you to more expensive food."

Xu Guanwu smiled, "It's okay, I'll take care of you this time."

Zhang Wanting smiled, "Then what a shame, you have helped me so much today, I should treat you to dinner."

Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "It's okay, it's just a little help, but it's nothing more than a little effort. It's true that Ms. Zhong will become your school girl in the future, so she needs you to take good care of her."

"Don't worry, needless to say, I will take good care of her." Zhang Wanting said with a smile, "There are not many Chinese in the University of Southern California, so naturally we should take care of each other."

Zhong Chuhong also smiled, "Then let us treat you to the senior sister, don't be too polite."

Zhang Wanting smiled and said, "Alright then, since you said so, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

"Miss Zhang, how many years are left before you graduate?" Xu Guanwu helped Zhang Wanting pour a cup of tea, and asked with a smile, "After graduation, will you return to Hong Kong?"
