Evening, Ocean Palace.
In addition to the crew members, Cheung Siu-on also sent invitations to everyone who participated in the filming of "Chasing Girls" and those who provided assistance.
Zhang Shuai'an even called Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai separately.
He knew, of course, that the two people wouldn't come, but he was so happy that his first movie had wrapped up filming that he couldn't help but want to share it with more people.
Shao Yifu was actually quite puzzled. Zhang Shuai'an's "Chasing Girls" had nothing to do with him, and it was even invested in by his enemy, Zou Wenhuai. He was quite unhappy about it.
At the same time, he greatly appreciated Zhang Shuai'an's initiative to call him.
"Uncle Liu is very happy that you were able to call him."
Shaw Yifu replied over the phone, "However, the movie you made was invested in by Golden Harvest, and Uncle Six isn't very happy about it. Perhaps you could help Shaw Brothers make one sometime."
Zhang Shuai didn't call him Uncle Six, but Mr. Shao, and said with a smile, "I also want to film for Shaw Brothers, but I'm afraid Mr. Shao will feel bad when he thinks about my salary."
Shao Yifu knew that Shaw Brothers couldn't afford Zhang Shuai'an's salary anymore, so he could only say, "If you have time, write a few more TV drama scripts. I can buy them at a high price."
Zhang Shuai'an nodded: "The script can be sold, but I won't be acting in TV dramas anytime soon."
"9
"It's alright." Although Shao Yifu felt it was a bit of a pity, TVB had no shortage of promising actors. "I'll give you the highest price in the industry for the scripts, and I'll take as many as you have."
"Let's talk about it after it's written." Zhang Shuai'an didn't agree immediately. He was waiting for people from RTV to contact him after "Shanghai Bund" aired.
After hanging up the phone, he called Zou Wenhuai's office again.
"Hello, this is Zou Wenhuai." Zou Wenhuai's rather calm voice came through the receiver.
Zhang Shuai'an smiled and said, "Mr. Zou, this is Zhang Shuai'an."
"It's you." Zou Wenhuai smiled and asked with concern, "The people downstairs just said you delivered the film reels. Has filming wrapped up?"
"Yes. Filming has wrapped up, and they're having a dinner party at the Ocean Palace."
Zhang Shuai'an formally invited, "Mr. Zou, if you have the time, would you do me the honor of joining the film crew?"
"I'm not going. If I go, will you still be able to eat and drink freely?"
Zou Wenhuai chuckled twice, then said, "You started filming on January 8th and finished it at the end of February. You're pretty fast."
Zhang Shuai'an humbly said, "This is my first time directing, and I still lack experience in some areas, so I made some mistakes. I should have been able to finish it in about a month."
Zou Wenhuai reassured him, "Going too fast isn't a good thing either; some parts still need polishing. Maintaining both quality and quantity is very important. If quality and quantity conflict, then prioritize quality. If the film is good, even if it doesn't do well at the box office, we can still make money from other sources."
Zhang Shuai'an largely agreed: "Mr. Zou is right."
After a few more words of small talk, Zou Wenhuai finally said, "Have fun, the company will reimburse the cost of this dinner."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Zou." Zhang Shuai'an felt quite pleased, having saved himself some money.
Not all the actors were present.
For example, Dibona didn't come. When we called her house, the nanny, Aunt Qing, answered the phone and said that Dibona had bought a plane ticket to Taiwan overnight.
Zhang Shuai'an was a little puzzled. Why was Di Bona in such a hurry to go to Taiwan? Was she really lonely, or had she discovered that Xie Laosi was up to his old tricks again?
Neither Wang Minquan nor Zhao Yazi were included.
Wang Minquan said she was feeling unwell and wanted to rest at home for a few days, declining all invitations.
Zhao Yazhi wanted to stay home to take care of her child, but the real reason was that she was already showing signs of pregnancy and didn't want to appear in public looking like that.
"Little brother, let me toast you!"
Miao Kexiu, holding a wine glass, slowly walked up to Zhang Shuai'an, squeezed out He Jiatong who was sitting next to her, and said with a smile, "A few months ago, when I first met you, you were just an ordinary person who had just come ashore after swimming. I never thought you would have such a career so quickly. It's really not easy."
"I have to thank Miss Miao for her help back then."
As he spoke, Zhang Shuai'an downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.
Miao Kexiu glanced at him, then downed her drink in one gulp, shaking her head and saying, "I wasn't of any help; you're the one who's capable."
Zhang Shuai'an looked back at Miao Kexiu with a serious expression: "No, you really helped me, you just don't even know it yourself."
"Alright." Miao Kexiu smiled sweetly. "Then I'll gladly accept your thanks. Let's have another drink."
After finishing one cup, I drank three more.
"I don't know why, but when I first met you, I felt a strange sense of familiarity."
Miao Kexiu was already a little drunk, and her face got closer and closer to Zhang Shuai'an: "You have an aura that makes me feel very safe. I haven't felt this kind of safety in a long time."
"Sister Xiu, you're drunk!" Zhang Shuai'an said softly when he noticed Miao Kexiu leaning on his shoulder.
Miao Kexiu murmured, "It's good to be drunk, it's so good to be drunk."
Zhang Shuai'an could clearly sense that she had something on her mind, but he didn't know the source of it.
At this moment, Miao Kexiu suddenly asked a line from her film "Chasing Girls": "Do you want to sleep with me?"
Zhang Shuai'an was taken aback. What's wrong with this girl?
"I'm asking you, do you want to sleep with me?" Miao Kexiu asked again solemnly.
Zhang Shuai'an is not Roberto from "Chasing Girls," nor is he Xu Lang from "Love Transfer."
He was the vanguard of the romantic troupe, the flower thief among a sea of beauties, and the king of the vast blue waves.
Zhang Shuai'an replied, "It's not just a thought, it's a must! From the first moment I saw you, I knew I would sleep with you someday."
"Great! That's satisfying!"
Miao Kexiu suddenly came to her senses and looked at Zhang Shuai'an with a grin: "You really are a complete pervert, a big lecher, a stinky bastard."
"You're faking being drunk?" Zhang Shuai'an was genuinely surprised.
"I am Princess Jiahe, and I used to be famous for being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
Miao Kexiu laughed triumphantly, pointing at Zhang Shuai'an and saying, "Hmph, I knew you had ulterior motives. During filming, you kept giving me the eye. Now you've been exposed."
Zhang Shuai'an felt no shame at all and said frankly, "Sister Xiu, you're so beautiful. I'm a normal man, so it's perfectly normal to have feelings for you. If I could sleep with a woman like Sister Xiu even once in my life, then my life would be worthwhile."
"You're disgusting! I'm leaving, it's no fun staying here."
Miao Kexiu's expression changed. She glared fiercely at Zhang Shuai'an, gave him a shove, and then turned and left.
Zhang Shuai'an didn't say anything because Miao Kexiu pushed him and stuffed a note into his arms.
The others had given them space to talk, but when they saw Miao Kexiu leave so angrily, they assumed the two had had a fight.
Chung Chu-hung leaned closer and asked with concern, "What did you do to upset Sister Hsiu?"
"It's nothing." Zhang Shuai'an quickly put the note away and explained to Chung Chu-hung and the others with a smile, "Everyone, continue eating, drinking, and dancing. Sister Xiu had to leave first."
Zhang Shuai'an made an excuse to go to the bathroom, quietly opened the note, which contained a hotel name and room number.
Halfway through, Cherie Chung also said goodbye and left. She had things to do the next day, a charity event required by the Miss Hong Kong pageant, and she couldn't miss it.
Zhang Shuai'an immediately summoned Ling Zhijian and asked him to arrange for someone to send Cherie Chung back to Chungking Mansions.
His heart skipped a beat. Was Miao Kexiu really going to give him a chance?
It can't be a honey trap, right? Miao Kexiu doesn't need to play that trick on him.
No matter what, if it's a trap, he can easily solve it with his [innate superhuman strength].
It was almost late at night when the dinner party ended.
Zhang Shuai'an declined the offers of farewell from others and sent He Jiatong home first. He then took a taxi to the Peninsula Hotel.
They arrived directly at room 0808, which was listed on the note. There were only seven floors, but since there was no fourth floor, the rooms on the seventh floor were numbered starting with 08.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Zhang Shuai'an knocked on the door.
A moment later, Miao Kexiu's voice rang out from inside: "Who is it?"
"Me!" Zhang Shuai'an replied.
The door opened with a click.
Miao Kexiu looked at Zhang Shuai'an with a half-smile: "You lecherous bastard, you actually dared to come?"
Zhang Shuai'an squeezed into the room, hooked the door shut with his left leg, and then picked up Miao Kexiu in his arms.
He laughed and said, "If Sister Xiu dares to extend an invitation, how could I not have the courage to accept?"
Miao Kexiu stared intently at him with her beautiful eyes: "Have you thought this through? Sleeping with me is easy, but how are you going to handle the aftermath?"
"Why end it?
Zhang Shuai'an walked slowly towards the bedside, smiling as he said, "It's normal for men and women to have sex. But I'd like to ask Sister Xiu, do you regret it?"
"What's there to regret?"
Miao Kexiu chuckled lightly and said calmly, "I never regret what I do. We're all adults, doing things that make us happy. It's a willing exchange, so what's there to regret?"
Zhang Shuai'an said, "Sister Xiu, I will take responsibility for you."
"No need!" Miao Kexiu interrupted Zhang Shuai'an directly: "I just want to do it with you a few times and experience what it's like to be a super handsome guy like you. Talking about taking responsibility is like we're dating. Don't tarnish our pure and sacred physical relationship."
"Okay, you're awesome!" Zhang Shuai'an knew he had met his match.
Miao Kexiu nudged him: "Take a shower first."
Zhang Shuai'an said, "Let's go together."
Zhang Shuai'an carried her into the bathroom, followed by the sound of running water and other indistinct noises.
That night, quite a contest ensued.
In the distance, the waves on the sea appeared to be surging.
Before long, the east began to lighten, and sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the blinds.
Miao Kexiu was utterly exhausted: "You're a complete freak!"
Zhang Shuai'an, still not quite finished, laughed and said, "Thank you for the compliment. I didn't expect you to cooperate so well, Sister Xiu. No wonder you come from a martial arts film background."
"I have no idea what you're talking about!"
Miao Kexiu rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "Stop! I'm going to hang up the truce."
Zhang Shuai'an said, "The spring night is too short, so let's make the most of it and not waste it."
""
Miao Kexiu laughed and scolded, "It's dawn already, you dead man, Chunxiao."
