Chapter 268: Big Brother Cheng Lang Appoints a Play (Ch 268)

“Why are you here too?”

When people get old, they have to urinate frequently and urgently.

Cheng Long, who had drunk two too many glasses of wine, had just come out of the bathroom when he unexpectedly ran into Qi Jia.

“Director Qiu is organizing a meeting with the investors.”

Qi Jia reached out to support Cheng Long, who was walking unsteadily, and explained,

“You’ve come just in time. Come over to my place first. I’ll introduce you to a friend.”

After saying that, he pulled Qi Jia into a private room next door.

There were two men sitting in the box. When they saw Cheng Long went to the toilet and brought someone back with him, they put down their glasses out of curiosity.

“Come, let me introduce you. This is Qi Jia, a young man with great kung fu skills.”

“Qi Jia, this is Tang Jili, this is Chen Desen,

They are my favorite directors and old friends for many years, so you can just call them Uncle Tang and Uncle Chen. “

Qi Jia didn’t feel comfortable shouting directly, so he reminded him,

“Brother, this is not good. If I call the two directors uncles and you brother, wouldn’t that mess up the generations?”

Upon hearing this, Tang Jili and Chen Desen thought at the same time, hey, this kid is not very old, but I didn’t expect he is so knowledgeable about the ways of the world.

Fortunately, he took the initiative to bring it up, otherwise even if Qi Jia dared to shout, they wouldn’t dare to agree.

You have to know that the eldest brother was the little overlord of Golden Harvest back then, and even the boss had to listen to him. Now he is old and a shareholder, and has become the old overlord of Golden Harvest.

Who here is brave enough to be his uncle?

Tang Jili didn’t dare, and Chen Desen was even less so. Now he thought back to when he was young and hot-headed and asked his elder brother to resign,

As a result, he was ignored by his elder brother for more than ten years. It was not until the filming of “The Spy” that the two reconciled. Whenever he thought back to those ten years, he felt depressed to death.

“Well, what you said makes sense, then just call me brother.” Cheng Long patted his drunken head and said,

After a brief episode, under Cheng Long’s introduction, Qi Jia and the two famous directors quickly became familiar with each other, and the three added each other on WeChat.

“Qi Jia, Lao Tang and I are currently planning a script about international rescue. We plan to start filming next year. Do you have time to come and play?”

Before Cheng Long made the invitation, he also thought it over carefully.

First of all, Qi Jia is young enough, his skills also meet his requirements, and Liu Dehua and others have verified his character.

Secondly, Qi Jia is now quite popular in mainland China. His previous starring works, Better Days and Little Red Flower, also proved that he has box office appeal.

Cheng Long also knew that although he had a high status in the entertainment industry, he could not perform many difficult moves in recent years due to physical reasons.

The new actors couldn’t handle it and had to use stand-ins at every turn, resulting in the movies he starred in getting worse and worse.

If this continues, not only will he be unable to explain himself to shareholders and investors, but his own influence will also be weakened.

So after learning about Qi Jia’s skills and his box office appeal in the mainland, Cheng Long had the idea of ​​inviting him to film a movie together to restore his reputation.

“I have to make time for the opportunity to film with Big Brother and learn from Director Tang.”

Qi Jia agreed without even thinking about it.

This is a great opportunity for him. After all, Big Brother is getting older and older. In a few years, he will probably announce his retirement.

Like Stephen Chow, he turned to working behind the scenes, so this is why, although the quality of his movies is getting worse and worse, the box office is still guaranteed.

Many fans of the film are worried that this will be Big Brother’s last movie, so they are willing to pay to support it even if it is bad.

Qi Jia was able to film a movie with his elder brother before he retired from the entertainment industry. If this gets out, I wonder how many people will be envious.

Besides, the eldest brother has already asked for it himself. If Qi Jia says he is busy, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face of the eldest brother? Do you still want to get along happily in the future?

“Hahaha, I knew you wouldn’t refuse. Old Tang, please take the trouble to revise the script. The character of Lei Zhenyu should be designed based on Qi Jia’s image.”

Tang Jili had no objection. After hearing this, he immediately nodded and agreed.

“Thank you Director Tang, I’m sorry to have caused you trouble.”

Qi Jia didn’t expect that his elder brother’s style of doing things was so simple and rough, and he quickly apologized to Tang Jili.

Although it was just a superficial move, doing so would at least make Tang Jili feel better.

After all, he is not the eldest brother. Although he is indeed very popular, Tang Jili will not be spoiled with his connections and status.

If he dared to ask Tang Jili to change the script, believe it or not, Tang Jili would hang him up and beat him with the script.

“We are all family, no need to be so polite. After all, the script is not finished yet.”

Tang Jili was also very satisfied with Qi Jia’s attitude. After saying something with a smile, he asked him a few more questions carefully to facilitate the subsequent revision of the script.

More than half an hour passed like this, until Director Qiu called and Qi Jia remembered that he had a banquet next door.

“Did you fall into a trap, or did we go to the wrong room? Where is you?!”

As soon as the call was connected, Director Qiu was like a poisonous snake, spitting venom.

“Sorry, Director. I just happened to run into Big Brother and chatted with him for a while. I’ll be right over now.”

“I don’t care what your mobile phone is. Come here quickly. President Meng will be here soon.”

“Okay, okay Director, I’ll be right there.”

Qi Jia stuck out his tongue in his heart, thinking that Director Qiu had such a hot temper that he even dared to scold his eldest brother when he got angry.

I didn’t dare to delay any longer, so I quickly put away my phone, stood up, drank a glass of wine, and said,

“Sorry, big brother, the two directors are rushing me over there, I have to go over there quickly.”

After he finished speaking, Cheng Long stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said to Tang Jili and the others,

“You guys go back first. We’ll meet again next time. Qi Jia and I will go over and say hello to Hua Zai and the others.”

…

On the other side, in Box 7,

Andy Lau, Liu Qingyun and Ni Ni were chatting about gossip.

Qiu Litao did not join in, but looked at his mobile phone anxiously from time to time, worried that investors would arrive before Qi Jia.

He wasn’t angry just now, but as a director, he was used to it. When something urgent happened, his voice would unconsciously get louder.

He was worried that Qi Jia’s lateness would leave a bad impression on the cat farm investors, who would think he was showing off, which would affect his future career.

Just as I was thinking about it, the door of the box opened.

The four of them stopped their actions at the same time and looked up at the door. When they saw that it was Qi Jia who came in, Qiu Litao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He stood up and was about to curse a few words, but he saw Cheng Long coming in right behind him, and Meng Ju, the cat farm investor, who was chatting happily with Cheng Long.

Without time to think, Qiu Litao and the other three quickly stood up and greeted them, and then invited the two to sit down at the main seat.

Qiu Litao then pulled Qi Jia over and asked in a low voice,

“Why did Big Brother come here with President Meng?”

“I was just chatting with my eldest brother. After receiving your call, he said he would come over to say hello. On the way, he met Mr. Meng and started chatting with him.” Qi Jia shrugged and said casually,

“You said you were chatting with Big Brother, not Big Mobile?”

Qiu Litao seemed to understand something and tried to confirm. When Qi Jia nodded, he looked as if he had seen a ghost and threatened in a low voice,

“Don’t tell Big Brother that I just scolded him about Big Brother on the phone, otherwise I will increase the intensity on you and Ruonan tomorrow.”
