Chapter 152: The Lower Woman and the Upper Man
"Hey, where the hell are you?"

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean you can't come back?"

"Hey, hello!"

Director Li Huizhu was anxious and angry, and her forehead was covered in sweat early in the morning.

beep, beep, beep...

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Director Li became furious and threw the phone to the ground.

With a click, the back cover of the phone popped open, and the black outer shell and the square battery flew several meters away, rolling and landing in an empty place.

Li Huizhu put one hand on her waist and the other on her forehead, and slapped her forehead hard. It took her a long time to recover. She bent down to pick up the "mobile phone fragments", put them together, and pressed the power button.

After a few seconds, she dialed the number again, as if asking for help.

That was the Nokia that everyone used in those days. If you change to the smart phones of later generations, if they are hit so hard, it will probably take a lot of effort to repair them, let alone use them again.

Zhang Yuan, Wu Jing and a few others were hiding aside.

The director is obviously angry, so don't be tactless and interrupt him to avoid getting humiliated.

"Change your costume, it's very hot." Zhang Yuan patted Wu Jing on the shoulder.

"Why? You have to put it on again after taking it off for a while."

"Impossible, I don't think it will get better in a short time." Zhang Yuan was sure that the crew was in big trouble this time after seeing this.

"Okay, then give me some more melon seeds." Wu Jing reached out to take them.

"Don't eat yet. It's not appropriate to eat melon seeds at this time if the director sees you."

Wu Jing glanced at Li Huizhu who was furious not far away and nodded slightly.

"He's really thoughtful."

The crew was in chaos for several hours, and Li Huizhu slumped in a folding chair with a look of despair on her face.

Beside him, screenwriter Chen Shisan also had a melancholy look on his face.

"How to do?"

"If not, let's go find Mr. Yang." Chen Shisan said helplessly.

"You can ask him, but I don't think Mr. Yang can necessarily solve it. After all, this matter is very complicated, and it's not just Xiaodong's problem." Li Huizhu was worried and pale, looking exhausted.

"At least we have to get our leading man back first."

"Alas, beauty is a disaster!"

The two of them lamented for a long time, and Chen Shisan suddenly had an idea.

"Do you think that boy can find a way?"

"After all, whenever there is a problem on the set, he always finds a solution."

"Who?" Li Huizhu asked, her forehead wrinkled. "You mean Zhang Yuan? He's just a little actor..."

Director Li stopped talking halfway.

"Well, let's try it out. Let's find him and ask him."

On this side, Zhang Yuan was rehearsing with Wu Jing, Zhu Yan, Shen Xiaohai and others with the script.

Chen Shisan stepped forward and was relieved to see that the young actors in the crew not only did not take the opportunity to slack off, but instead took time to practice.

Glancing around again, there was no sign of the leading actress Xu Xiyuan. I had no idea where she had gone.

Comparing the two, I feel that this group of mainland actors have superior professional qualities.

"Zhang Yuan, come here for a moment. Director Li and I have something to talk to you about."

"Okay." He stood up without saying anything.

After Chen Shisan and Zhang Yuan left, the remaining people put down the scripts and expressed their relief.

"He is right. Looking at the look in Director Chen's eyes just now, he is obviously very satisfied with us."

"It's just that we should be more alert at this time and do the work at hand well."

"But why do you want to send him away?"

"God knows."

At this time, Zhu Yan smiled and smoothed her soft and shiny hair: "Maybe the director wants him to help deal with Xiaodong's matter."

"Impossible." Shen Xiaohai smiled and waved his hands.

"You overestimate him." Wu Jing also shook his head vigorously.

On the other side, Zhang Yuan and Chen Shisan sat in front of Director Li.

"Something happened on the crew before, and you acted very rationally."

"We also treat you as one of our own. There was a small problem on the crew this time, and we would like to hear your opinion." Li Huizhu forced a smile and spoke as kindly as possible.

Director Li then explained in detail what had happened.

Last night, Chen Xiaodong received a call.

It was the call he received when Zhang Yuan wanted to talk to him.

It was precisely because of this phone call that Xiaodong had no time to deal with him. He went straight back to the hotel, changed his clothes, took a taxi and headed straight to the nearest airport, boarding a flight to the imperial capital.

Then why was he in such a hurry that he didn't even bother to say hello to the crew or take care of his own work before embarking on the journey?

As the saying goes, a man will risk his life for a beautiful woman, and it is also said that beautiful women have always been the cause of trouble.

There are generally only two reasons why a man would be so obsessed.

Women and children.

Just like the male protagonist in "Titanic" died for a woman, or the male protagonist in "Taken" went crazy for his daughter.

If we have to add one more thing that can make a man fight for his life, it might be the dog in "John Wick".

Of course, for John Wick, the dog is also a memory left by his deceased wife, which can also be extended to the longing for a woman and an emotion similar to that for a child.

The same is true for Chen Xiaodong.

Of course, the only person who can make a grown man so crazy is a woman...but the grown man Hu Jun is an exception. Only Liu Ye can make him so crazy.

And this woman is a generation of virgin and lustful woman in Hong Kong. She is the goddess of male fans and the idol of partners.

The most photogenic female star in Hong Kong Island, Ms. Cheung Bo Chi.

In 01, Chen Xiaodong had a relationship with this girl, but it ended in failure.

This is not surprising, after all, Miss Zhang is a famous female sea queen in the Hong Kong circle.

This is a small boat that crosses the sea without a sail, relying entirely on the waves!
Regarding this relationship, both parties did not clarify who was the first to break up.

But Xiaodong once mentioned in an interview that Zhang Bozhi did cheat.

The person she cheated with at that time was her future husband and ex-husband, Nicholas Tse.

Zhang Bozhi called Chen Xiaolong because he was in trouble in the capital and needed help.

The specific reason was that Zhang Bozhi was invited to go to the capital to participate in a star-studded concert.

As a guest, she will sing five songs including "Stars and Wishes", and the organizer has promised to pay her 30 yuan for each song.

That’s right, a song only takes a few minutes to earn 30 yuan, which is equivalent to Zhang Yuan’s current film pay.

For a concert, she only needs to show up for half an hour to get paid 150 million, which also includes first-class air tickets and accommodation in a five-star hotel.

Why do you all want to be a star?

It’s because once you become famous, money comes too quickly and easily.

But these treatments that are difficult for ordinary people to dream of are nothing special in Zhang Bozhi's eyes.

She didn't even prepare well.

I don't know if it was because he smoked too much, drank too much, or had too much fun and hurt his throat. Anyway, he went on stage with a hoarse voice, which made his already mediocre singing skills even worse.

Do you think that's the end of it?
No, don't underestimate this person's character.

She actually used the excuse of feeling unwell and left the stage early after singing two songs.

Zhang Bozhi's "artistic ethics" have long been well-known in later generations.

When filming "Big Guys, Big Wisdom", Hua Ge was hanging on the wire and acting opposite her, but this girl took out her cell phone to talk on the phone and buy bags, completely ignoring the fact that the superstar was hanging in the air on the wire.

The two protagonists of this film, Brother Hua and Bai Zhi, both came to film because they owed favors to the Xiang family.

But the performances of the two are as different as heaven and earth. Brother Hua has been bankrupt for years but he always makes a comeback. The secret lies in his work attitude and popularity.

Zhang Bozhi is just the opposite. No wonder the Xiang family would publicly ban this popular actress whom they had brought up.

Of course, the Xiang family has always been overbearing and has done many things to harm others.

Let’s get back to the imperial capital.

Zhang Bozhi's behavior immediately angered the organizers of the Imperial Capital.

You don't treat us as human beings at all!

Who can accept that after paying so much money, things still turn out like this?
If I don't show you some of my power, you really don't know how many eyes the Horse King has!

The person was detained on the spot. There was no way he could leave!

At this time, Zhang Bozhi had not yet fallen out with the Xiang family, so he immediately contacted his backers.

Previously, Andy Lau was invited to go to Shenyang for a concert tour.

Just like Cecilia Cheung this time, she sang fewer songs and was suppressed by the organizer.

Brother Hua also contacted the Xiang family, but to no avail.

The legend goes that Brother Hua contacted Simon Yam, who then found Zhao Benshan to calm the situation.

If it were an ordinary performer, given Lao Zhao's status and position in the Northeast, his words would indeed be effective.

It was Ren Dahua who contacted his brother, and after several rounds of negotiations, he got the information from the person behind Liu Yong, and only then was Brother Hua able to get out of this situation unscathed. Of course, it was impossible to get the full performance fee.

Baizhi's request for help was in vain. Seeing that her throat would not get better in the short term, the organizer offered some conditions.

Find someone who can sing in your place, sing for us happily and make enough money, then you can leave.

This time we can see the character of this old lady.

Who should be pitted?
This is a problem.

Cecilia Cheung's love history is a mess. At the moment, she is entangled with Nicholas Tse in an on-and-off relationship.

Logically, she should seek help from Master Xie.

After all, Nicholas Tse can sing and play the piano, and he is an impulsive person, so he will definitely come to the rescue.

But Zhang Bozhi was angry and didn't call him.

The fundamental reason why she made such a choice was actually related to Zhang Yuan.

If Zhang Yuan has never met Zhang Bozhi and Tingfeng Xie and doesn't know them, how are they related?

The story begins on April 1st not long ago, the night when Leslie Cheung passed away.

That day, Wang Feiben was too sad and didn't have a plane ticket to go there immediately, so he decided to wait until before the memorial service on the 7th before going to Hong Kong Island.

But Zhang Yuan helped her arrange the flight tickets and itinerary, and he showed up near the Mandarin Oriental Hotel early the next morning to pay his respects.

Of course, she was not the only one present, there were also many celebrities from Hong Kong.

Among them are Zheng Zheng in Hong Kong Island and Nicholas Tse.

This is the first time they have met again since they broke up early last year.

This meeting was not a big deal. This pair of men and women, who were already shrouded in sadness and in need of comfort, were like a bolt from the blue, a tortoise meeting a mung bean, a widow meeting an old man, a priest meeting a young man...

The details of the in-depth communication between the two people and the specific process are enough to write more than 100,000 words, but I will not go into details here.

In short, their old love was rekindled, and it was discovered by Cheung Po-chi, who was on and off with Nicholas Tse.

This is why Zhang Bozhi did not contact Nicholas Tse.

It is also the reason why she contacted Chen Xiaodong!
You have an ex-girlfriend, and I have an ex-boyfriend!
Chen Xiaodong didn't know if it was because of his pride after being cheated on, or his dog-licking nature coming out, or he couldn't let go of the old love and couldn't forget it.

In the end, he resolutely embarked on the road of "saving" Cecilia Cheung.

Let’s just say that those who lick the dog will never have a good ending!

I flew to the capital overnight, and headed to where Bai Zhi was when I landed, and then...

Just like Calabash Brothers saving his grandfather, he and the goddess were detained in the imperial capital together.

Chen Xiaodong is also a well-known singer and has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala.

When the organizers saw what was going on, they realized that Cecilia Cheung really did find someone when they asked her to, which was very considerate.

Well, then, you two can sing together, sing a few more shows, and earn enough money for us before you go home.

After listening to what Li Huizhu said, Zhang Yuan closed his eyes and scratched his head.

"It would take at least ten years for a cerebral thrombosis to reach this level."

"When the golden phoenix and raindrops meet, it is better than countless things in the world... You are really countless, there is no way to count them."

"What do you think? Do you have any ideas?" Seeing that Zhang Yuan, who was usually very calm, was so worried, Li Huizhu glanced at Chen Shisan and shook her head helplessly.

"Don't be nervous, we're just asking. Don't feel psychologically burdened. This is not your business." Chen Shisan hurriedly comforted her.

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"I think all we can do is wait."

"Even if we contact Mr. Yang Dengkui, it will probably be difficult to get him back immediately."

"But the crew still has to send someone to the imperial capital to contact and mediate. After all, Dong Ge is a member of the crew."

The two directors nodded. Zhang Yuan’s idea was similar to theirs.

"Okay, this is the only thing we can do." Li Huizhu rubbed her eyes tiredly.

"Zhang Yuan, please keep this a secret for now."

"clear."

"Go and have a rest, we will handle it." Chen Shisan nodded.

Zhang Yuan stood up and prepared to leave.

"Huizhu, I'm here to contact Mr. Yang."

"Go contact the person in charge of Didu Xi Media."

"Okay, let's do it."

Ok?
Zhang Yuan was about to leave when he suddenly pricked up his ears.

After listening to a few words, he turned around suddenly.

"Director Chen, what's the name of the company you just mentioned?"

"Youxi Media is the organizer of the concert."

Zhang Yuan touched his ear and his expression changed from worry to joy.

"Okay."

"What's wrong?" Seeing his expression change drastically, the two directors looked at him in confusion.

"It's hard to say about other companies." Zhang Yuan smiled: "But if it's this company, I might be able to help..."
