Don't Be My Old Man [Entertainment]

"So are you trying to persuade me not to get too involved?" Zheng Wushu didn't quite understand why Uncle Zhou Long wanted to tell him this all of a sudden.

But Zhou Long also watched him grow up, and it's normal to see through the delicate relationship between him and Yang Li.Besides, Zhou Long is also considered a veteran in the field of love, and he has a lot of experience. Maybe he really wants to warn him as someone who has experienced it?

"You misunderstood me." Zhou Long laughed, "On the contrary, what I want to say is, if you are so devoted, don't withdraw easily."

Because in this circle, there are a lot of hypocrisy, and there are also a lot of acting on the spot.Many excellent entertainers, especially those actors, sometimes put too much emotion into it, and can deceive themselves.

This is also the reason why many couples "love each other because of drama".

In addition to the so-called "promo couples", there are also many because they can't get out of the role, or because they have invested too much emotion and can't get it back.

It's not that there is no real love in the entertainment industry, but if there is something wrong with these loves, it will cause great harm to both parties in the love.It is common for artists who have been in serious love with outsiders to have their privacy exposed.Gradually, everyone will learn to behave.

Zheng Wushu has never had any problems in this area, and has always handled it well.

But now, the relationship between him and Yang Li has changed.

Zheng Wushu, even if he didn't intentionally provoke others, is very capable of attracting others, often giving people the illusion that "this person may be chasing me".In fact, Zheng Wushu is just habitually treating people around him better. After all, he has climbed to this position, and his words and deeds are under the attention of others, so naturally he can't make any mistakes.

But it is precisely because of this that Zheng Wushu has gradually become the "Flower of Gaoling", and he has no interest in finding others to talk about a love that may not bear fruit.It's really surprising to see him caring so much about Yang Li now.

Although Zhou Long was surprised, he didn't think there was anything strange about it.He is already an old man, so he cares about the world and who he is dating?

I just want to remind Zheng Wushu.

If Zheng Wushu and Yang Li were really together, there wouldn’t be much of a problem. The crux of the problem was, if one day Zheng Wushu or Yang Li wanted to withdraw suddenly, what would the other one do?

"I see, Uncle Long, thank you for your reminder." Zheng Wushu replied, "But for now, I am also on the sidelines, so you don't have to worry."

Until he hung up the phone, Zhou Long still couldn't laugh or cry.

I hope that Wu Shu really understands.

Now they are just "waiting and watching", and they are already so focused. If they really come together, what will it be like?

After Zheng Wushu talked with Zhou Long, he felt a little anxious.

It stands to reason that such emotions rarely appear in Zheng Wushu.But for some reason, he always cared a little bit.

Is he fully committed to a relationship now?

No, probably not yet.

He and Yang Li didn't seem to have said anything yet.

Zhou Cheng soon announced some of Yang Li's upcoming itineraries in Hong Kong.

For example, I participated in some program recordings, or some magazine shoots, etc. Of course, it was also announced that Yang Li will participate in the "Half Century" movie.

Regarding this, fans of Yang Li's mud group were both shocked and helpless.

Wait, why did the good guy suddenly run to Hong Kong?They can't make it to Hong Kong to pick up the plane or something.

"Half a Century" and so on, the mainland has not received any news at all, and they only went to the forum in Hong Kong to find out what the production team is and what it is about.

After watching it, the hearts of fans are quite complicated.

In the past, although Yang Li's performances were all low-cost things, but now it seems that the response is very good.For example, the previous "You Long Mention the Criminal Officer", "Seven People Talking about Ghosts", and "Civil Servant", which has already been completed, can all be called good books, with a small fight for a big one, and what you play is heartbeat!

But just when the fans were ready to accept Yang Li's next resource, which could be used to slap face at a small cost, Yang Li was on the right track again, taking over a big production from a big director and obviously aiming for awards. films.

It's not easy for them either, they finally accepted the routine of playing cards that did not follow common sense before, but turned back at this moment.

All in all, they just guessed right.

... This routine is a little tricky, and fans feel that they may need to make up lessons.

Generally speaking, a traffic artist like Yang Li needs to accumulate some box office for himself at the beginning, and then act in this kind of award-winning film after his status is completely stable.But Yang Li skipped this step and went directly to act, and it was obviously a supporting role.

But in this way, fans can also comfort themselves, Xiao Lili really wants to be a good actor, which is different from other artists outside!

At any rate, it is also a film directed by Fan Chu!

"I didn't get hung up this time, why am I still a little bit disappointed?" Zhou Cheng saw the "concern words" on his Weibo telling him to take a good rest and take good care of Xiaoliba, and he felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. lost.

If he hung up on him again, he would be able to blackmail Yang Li again.

Yang Li is not poor now, he is rich.It's definitely not a small amount like [-] to [-], at least add a zero.

Zhou Cheng's heart was bleeding, and he felt that he had missed a lot of money.

In the past few days, Zhou Cheng basically went shopping with Yang Li.It’s just that the paparazzi in Hong Kong are a bit too powerful, especially those gossip magazines, they chase after them so hard, they can even disguise themselves as passers-by, and the cameras are hidden in various places, it’s hard to guard against!

Fortunately, Yang Li's private life is really clean. After these paparazzi have been chasing him for so many days, they can make up random things, write false scandals and so on.

Originally thought that their days would be over like this before they entered the crew of "Half Century", but Zhou Cheng suddenly received a call from an unexpected person.

It was Pei Rong's manager calling.

The other party said that Pei Rong might also make a special guest appearance in "Half a Century", so he hoped to meet Yang Li in advance.

Zhou Cheng didn't know what the other party meant for a while, so he asked tentatively: "I remember that Zhang Wen and Zhang Tianhou will invite the leading actors of "Half Century" to a private banquet hosted by her in a few days, and we will meet at the banquet at that time It's the same."

The atmosphere in Hong Kong is relatively traditional, and senior artists here also like to use private banquets and other methods to meet new people.Of course, there will be no paparazzi entering indiscriminately.

Yang Li naturally also received such an invitation.

Yang Li has already made plans to follow Mr. Zhou Long the whole time, so as not to offend someone and not know it.

After all... After all, there used to be various gangsters in Hong Kong's entertainment industry.It must be much better now, but what if!

Zhou Cheng also remembered that Pei Rong had co-produced "Chasing the Deer" with the capital of Hong Kong and Taiwan before, and he should have a good relationship with the people here. It is not surprising that the other party also came to participate in the performance of "Half Century".Of course, Pei Rong would definitely not miss Zhang Tianhou's banquet.

It's just that Pei Rong's schedule is very tight, and his current status and reputation are higher than Yang Li's. He already has some works in the film industry, so naturally he doesn't need to waste so much time like Yang Li on this "Half a Century" " is up.

"A banquet is a banquet, and everyone is just talking about the scene, that is, they are familiar." Pei Rong's manager pointed it out bluntly, "Please rest assured, there is no embarrassment on our side." It's just that my family, Arong, thinks that Yang Li is really powerful. Rather than tearing his head apart when he doesn't know it later, it's better to know about it in advance."

"You're overthinking, I didn't mean that." Seeing the other party being so straightforward, Zhou Cheng was a little relieved, but he said hypocritically, "Okay, I will tell Yang Li about your visit. Please wait For half an hour, can I discuss the itinerary with him?"

"of course."

"Thank you."

Zhou Cheng hung up the phone, touched his face, and felt that this manager was not very easy to deal with. He was pulling him to talk about it before, and only finally revealed his future intentions. It is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

And it was strange that the other party chose this time to meet Yang Li.

If you really want to see Yang Li, isn't it more convenient to be in the mainland?Make a phone call and meet anytime.As a result, I didn't mention that I wanted to meet when I was in mainland China, but I waited until they both arrived in Hong Kong and participated in the same work before bringing it up. It really makes people have to pay more attention.

What's more, "Seven People Talking About Ghosts" took the limelight of Pei Rong's "Chasing the Deer" completely, and the box office even surpassed it."Chasing the Deer", which could have been a big hit at the box office of 14 billion, didn't make much splash. Everyone's discussion has shifted to "Seven People Tell Ghosts".

What if, what if Pei Rong couldn't suppress his anger and deliberately picked Hong Kong, which they had no foundation, to look good to Yang Li?

No, the other party's magnanimity should be more than that, and Pei Rong's main work is not "Chasing the Deer". I heard that Pei Rong and the team of "Chasing the Deer" are still a little stiff.

Zheng Wushu called Yang Li to come to Hong Kong, and asked Mr. Zhou Long to match up for the reason. Wang Chuhong had already told Zhou Cheng.Zhou Cheng also thinks this is a good idea. After all, Hong Kong and Taiwan have a lot of film crews and resources, but they are not available. In addition, some ambitious young artists have all gone to the mainland to develop. Their local young artists can carry it. almost none.

In addition, Li Jiyang has been stabbing Lou Zi, and the capital who wants to come here doesn't want to continue to praise him.But it's not that easy to find a new artist who can replace Li Jiyang. Other artists have a corresponding background, so it's not easy for you to poach someone.If it is re-cultivated, God knows how long and how much effort it will take to get it out?In this way, Yang Li, who has no obvious background and is in good condition in all aspects, is a pretty good candidate.

With Zheng Wushu as the guarantor and Zhou Long's face, it is not impossible for Yang Li to take the position. "Half a Century" is a pretty good entry point. It not only allows Yang Li to hone his acting skills, but also allows Yang Li to build a good relationship with these old artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan.After all, if you really get the resources from Hong Kong and Taiwan, you will definitely have to cooperate with old artists in the future if you have nothing to do. If you don't get along well, it will be embarrassing.

Could it be that Pei Rong also had this idea?

No no no, it shouldn't be.

Pei Rong is obviously from the Beijing area, and he has no plans to change jobs now.

He came to Hong Kong to make films, basically co-productions and the like.After all, there are exchanges between different capitals. Films filmed in Hong Kong will be screened in the mainland, and films filmed in the mainland will also be screened in Hong Kong. After all, they will gradually integrate.It is impossible for an artist to make his own films, but needs to build a good relationship in a variety of ways.

So……

Could it be that Pei Rong also saw Yang Li's plan, so he deliberately chose Hong Kong to meet Yang Li?

Zhou Cheng thought about it and felt that the possibility was higher.

At least for now, there is still a gap between Yang Li and Pei Rong, and their positions are also temporarily different. They should not have the posture to fight in the ring.

After clearing his mind, Zhou Chengcheng relaxed a lot, and soon he pulled Yang Li for a chat.

"Okay, let's go." Yang Li didn't think so much at all, "Isn't it just a meeting, can he still eat me? Brother Zhou, don't worry, I will try my best to get him drunk."

"what?"

"Before I went to deliver wine to Mr. Zhou Long, he returned this bottle of Fenjiu with the highest alcohol content to me. He refused to accept it, saying that he wanted to preserve his health." Yang Li held the bottle of wine in his arms, "I will bring it back to me." Take it to see Pei Rong, and treat it as a greeting gift. When the time comes to get him drunk, it's easy to talk, what do you think?"

Isn't this plan a little too simple?

But sometimes the simpler the plan, the more feasible it may be!

"Okay, let's do it like this." Zhou Cheng patted Yang Li on the shoulder, "It's up to you. I can't understand Pei Rong, and his public relations team is also a business elite. He failed to come down, he is the most stable one, you should be careful."

"He's more popular than me now, so he should be on guard against me." Yang Li showed his white teeth, "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

Yang Li stuffed Zhou Cheng's worries back into his stomach, so he could only resign himself to his fate and go back and call Pei Rong's manager, asking them to arrange an appropriate time and place.

Of course, there is no need to be so secretive, just meet upright, otherwise these all-pervasive Hong Kong entertainment journalists don't know what the hell they are going to write.

Just ask a few of them to take a picture and forget it.

The reason is also very easy to find. If you are both mainland artists and participate in the same movie in Hong Kong, it is normal to meet each other.

After Zhou Cheng and Pei Rong's managers confirmed their itineraries, they secretly arranged the news in the itinerary, but they didn't mention each other's names.

They secretly followed each other's official accounts of Yang Li and Pei Rong.

On the day of the real meeting, the hot search drafts and so on must be arranged.

A veteran trafficker, a newcomer trafficker, this historic meeting scene, if it doesn't occupy a few trending searches, wouldn't it be someone who lost them?

Pei Rong chose a private restaurant with a particularly good rating. It is famous for its safety and taste, and it is the first choice for many artists to meet.

Both Yang Li and Pei Rong have already notified several entertainment reporters. When they got off the car, they smiled professionally. They first hugged once when they met, and then smiled at the reporter's camera with their shoulders crossed.

It's like a friend who has known each other for many years, and it can't be seen that this is the first official meeting.

The reporters also asked a few questions appropriately, not too sharply.

At any rate, they were paid, and they were specially hired to take pictures. No matter what, they had to save face.

"I watched Yang Li's "Seven People Tell Ghosts", and it was really good. At that time, I was thinking that it would be great if I could act with him. I didn't expect that we would all participate in "Half a Century" this time. But it's a pity that I'm only a cameo, and I can't have a rivalry with Yang Li. If I had known this, I should have fought hard with the director."

Pei Rong smiled very gently, and praised Yang Li inside and out, fully releasing his kindness.Of course, there is also some meaning of showing off in the words.

"Where, I also like Brother Pei's play very much, and I have always wanted Brother Pei's autograph. Now, I have brought dozens of postcards here, and I am waiting for Brother Pei to sign for me. My assistants They're all Brother Pei's fans." Yang Li was also hypocritical, spitting out Brother Pei one by one, with a very upright posture.

Pei Rong had a smile on his face, secretly wondering what Yang Li's "Brother Pei" meant?Do you really respect him or just call him old?

He remembered that he was only two years older than Yang Li, not too old.

All in all, after the two people fully satisfied the reporters' desire to gossip, they waved their hands and walked into the box with a smile. Yang Li also took out the prepared Fenjiu from his assistant and gave it to Pei Rong in front of the reporters. , Said it was a little bit of my own mind.Not to be outdone, Pei Rong took out a high-end gift box and gave it to Yang Li with a smile.

Of course, based on these two gifts, the reporters made up a series such as "Wealthy Entertainer!"If you meet, you will be given a million gifts! ", "Pei Rong and Yang Li "wept tears of excitement" and gave each other great gifts", "Traffic Artists Embrace Passionately for an Hour" and other sensational headlines.

——God knows how this million-dollar gift and passionate embrace came about?

Of course, this is still the case when the reporters have collected money to save face.

If there is no prior notice, I am afraid there will only be "passionate tears" instead of "exchanging gifts".

In terms of shock, the reporters from Hong Kong and Taiwan are stronger.

After entering the box, the reporters would definitely not be able to come in. Yang Li and Pei Rong immediately put down their hands, the smiles on their faces disappeared, and they sat down facing each other.

Tsk, my face almost froze with laughter.

Yang Li silently sized Pei Rong up.

His eyes are not as good-looking as Mr. Zheng, his skin is not as good as Mr. Zheng, and his smile is not as good-looking as Mr. Zheng. No wonder Mr. Zheng has been oppressed all the time.

But if you don't compare with Mr. Zheng, Pei Rong is still good.

At least as far as face is concerned, Yang Li felt that the other party was obviously more in line with mainstream aesthetics than himself.

This is not to say that Yang Li is not good-looking, it's just that Yang Li's type is relatively more in the entertainment circle, and he doesn't have a unique so-called "advanced face" like Pei Rong.In comparison, Yang Li looked a little weak in appearance.

Yang Li also really wanted to look more masculine!

"It's the first time we meet, I'm Pei Rong."

"Hi, I'm Yang Li."

After the prologue, the scene fell into suspicious silence.

Pei Rong himself is not smooth, and in his current position, he doesn't need to be smooth with many people.Not to mention Yang Li, he certainly didn't have much affection for this guy who had been biting "Zheng Wushu" so hard.

Teacher Zheng's enemy is my enemy.

Cough, now Pei Rong is no longer Zheng Wushu's enemy.

"Thank you for the gift." Although Yang Li hadn't looked at what was in the gift box, Pei Rong's price would certainly not be low.

"The wine you brought is also very good." Pei Rong also praised decently, "Your wine is in short supply right now."

"Thank you." Yang Li put Fenjiu on the table with a smile, "Do you want to try it?"

"I ordered a few dishes, all of which are the signatures and specialties of this place. Let's have a drink when the dishes are served." Pei Rong glanced at Yang Li and smiled, "I heard that you don't get drunk after a thousand cups. I'd better take the wine home and drink it. If we're here, we'll just have a drink or two."

"That's it." Yang Li cursed secretly in his heart. It must be that the managers of the previous theaters couldn't drink him and talked about it. Otherwise, how could his reputation spread so quickly?

It is impossible for Pei Rong to drink too much with Yang Li.

He's not that stupid yet.

The food here was served quickly, and Yang Li was really hungry looking at the delicious food.

He hasn't eaten yet!

"Give it a try. Before the filming starts, this is probably our last big meal." Pei Rong moved his chopsticks first, "Hong Kong stars love sports, and they have strict training, and they are all in good shape. Want to It’s a good way to get into their circle and go hiking and running with them. In addition, we want to be on a diet here, so dieting is the most basic. The box lunch of the crew is also not to your taste. It’s better to ask the assistant to prepare vegetable salad and Bread or something."

This is Pei Rong's experience.

A few simple words, but it seems more sincere than the previous praise.

At least about sports, Yang Li had heard Zhou Long talk about it.

Probably because housing prices in Hong Kong are too high and space is limited, compared to indoor sports, Hong Kong stars prefer outdoor sports, and almost every one of them is an athlete.

Those old-fashioned artists, no matter whether they are popular or not, have their own sports groups.For example, mountain climbing, rock climbing, cycling, etc., the amount of exercise is terrible.

Zhou Long also said that he could take Yang Li with him the next time he went out to climb mountains.Their kind of sports group, if you don't have an introducer to take you there, they won't care about you casually.

At least Pei Rong didn't lie to him on this point, on the contrary he spoke very well.

It seems that the other party should have no malice towards me.

Yang Li was thinking while eating.

The manager and assistants are outside, so he can only cheer up and deal with Pei Rong well.

The two each ate half a bowl of rice and put down their chopsticks restraintly.

This is the real beginning of this meeting.
