Chapter 136 is too humble.
Everyone was at least five-tenths drunk. As for whether anyone was faking it, Ji Qingxu estimated that there were probably one or two, such as Ji Qingxu himself, who was pretending to be drunk.
However, judging from Ji Qingxu's skills at the dinner table, he might only have one or two.
Thinking back to the scene of eating and drinking just now, Ji Qingxu scratched his brow. Just from one dinner party, you could see how complicated the situation on set was. Thinking of the mainland actors with more roles in the crew, Ji Qingxu took a puff of his cigarette and sighed softly. It was too humiliating.
Aside from Mr. Ma Jingwu, who was born in the 30s, he was a senior and experienced man. Moreover, Mr. Ma Jingwu held a lot of titles, so no one in the crew dared to disrespect him. Even someone as arrogant as Donnie Yen and as famous as Michael Li had taken the initiative to toast him at the dinner table.
The other two mainland actors, Lu Yi and Zhang Jingchu, are quite different. Lu Yi is now one of the most well-known young male actors in mainland China, much more famous than Ji Qing. However, he was very cautious at the dinner table, seemingly afraid to say much. He kept toasting others and didn't dare to refuse their toasts. By the end of the dinner, he was probably at least seven or eight tenths drunk, and his assistant had to help him back to his room.
Thinking of Zhang Jingchu's words, Ji Qingxu raised an eyebrow. Sure enough, a woman who could make it in the entertainment industry was not simple, let alone a female artist from the mainland who went to Hong Kong to make it. Like Lu Yi, Zhang Jingchu had also accepted all drinks at the table. However, this woman was better at drinking than Lu Yi. Lu Yi had drunk less than two jin, while this woman had drunk at least two and a half jin. She walked steadily when she got off the table.
As for Ji Qingxu himself, he smiled, took a puff of his cigarette, and drank about three jin of liquor. The price he paid was that apart from Li Ming, Zhen Zidan, and Yang Caini, who were at least five-tenths drunk, all the other Hong Kong and Taiwan actors at the table were completely drunk and unconscious.
Thinking of this, Ji Qingxu sighed regretfully. It was a pity it wasn't a martial arts competition, otherwise he could have handled them all by himself.
After checking the time, Ji Qingxu extinguished his cigarette and headed to the bathroom.
"call!"
After taking a shower, Zhen Zidan patted her cheeks to clear her head.
He glanced across the street and caught a glimpse of the large, dark purple patch on his shoulder in the mirror, and his eye twitched.
Where did Teacher Wu find this monster? It's one thing to be skilled, after all, there are rare but exceptionally talented martial artists, but to be skilled in both martial arts and have such a high alcohol tolerance is truly eye-opening. He's just like those chivalrous heroes in novels and stories.
Thinking about the dinner party that evening, Zhen Zidan shook his head with a smile. These people should know how powerful they are now.
At the same time, Zhen Zidan was also a little excited. It was worth all her enthusiasm; Teacher Wu Bin's judgment was impeccable.
After stroking his chin and thinking for a while, Zhen Zidan smiled, walked to the bedside, turned off the light, and lay down.
"vomit!"
"Ahem!"
Looking at her disheveled appearance in the mirror, Zhang Jingchu silently rinsed her face with water, then picked up the toiletries and began to wash herself.
After washing up, Zhang Jingchu took off her clothes and went into the bathroom.
As the hot water washed over him, Zhang Jingchu closed his eyes, thought about the scene at dinner that evening, and sighed softly.
However, when Zhang Jingchu thought of Ji Qingxu, whom he had just met today, his expression became somewhat strange.
Who exactly is he?
At the dinner table that evening, Ji Qingxu, like himself and Lu Yi, accepted all the toasts offered by everyone. However, compared to himself and Lu Yi, Ji Qingxu was more assertive. Whoever toasted him, he had to return the toast, and no one was allowed to cheat. He drank as much as everyone else, and he treated even the big-name actors at the table the same.
By the time the dinner party ended, most of the Hong Kong and Taiwanese celebrities at the table, except for a few, were completely drunk and unconscious.
Most importantly, when toasting, Ji Qingxu didn't care at all about Li Ming and Zhen Zidan on the table. Zhang Jingchu remembered that a Hong Kong celebrity wanted to drink less, and Ji Qingxu stared at him with a smile. Zhang Jingchu felt a little creeped out by that look.
What surprised Zhang Jingchu even more was that the Hong Kong celebrity at the time wanted to use the names of Li Ming and Donnie Yen to suppress Ji Qingxu, but the two of them completely ignored it, and Donnie Yen even defended Ji Qingxu.
Compared to Lu Yi at the same table, who was more famous and experienced than Ji Qingxu, their behavior at the table was quite different, if not drastically so.
Thinking of Ji Qingxu's domineering and forceful demeanor at the table, Zhang Jingchu breathed a sigh of relief. Truly impressive.
The next day, the crew of "The Little Fish and the Flower Without Flaws" arrived.
"Sis, sis, big news!"
Seeing his assistant, Xiaoli, running over with a shocked expression, Fan Xiaopang asked curiously, "What happened?"
"Sister, look."
Taking the newspaper from his assistant, Fan Xiaopang chuckled, "Could it be... Oh my god!"
Looking at the news report in the newspaper, Fan Xiaopang couldn't help but swear.
Recently, director Tsui Hark's martial arts epic "Seven Swords," with an investment of over 7 million yuan, welcomed another mysterious actor. This actor's name is Ji Qingxu... It is reported that he plays an important role in the film, alongside actors such as Li Ming and Donnie Yen.
.
After staring at the words and pictures in the newspaper for a while, Fan Xiaopang expressionlessly reached out his hand and said, "Give me my phone."
Seeing Fan Xiaopang's unfriendly expression, Xiaoli stuck out her tongue and quickly handed over her phone.
"beep.....
'
"Oh, the big star Ji answered the phone... Hehe, how could he dare to mock you? You're such a... bastard, you didn't even tell me about something this big, and I've been so devoted to you... Don't give me that nonsense, what kind of role are you playing..."
Seeing Fan Xiaopang's wide-eyed, shocked expression, his assistant Xiaoli quietly took a step back.
"You...you've gone too far...I've been in the industry for so many years and I've never played a role like this before, you...waaaaah..."
Watching Fan Xiaopang start to wail in a fake manner as he spoke, his assistant Xiaoli's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but cover her face. "Sister, this is too fake."
"I don't care, you have to compensate me... You bastard, I'll bite you to death... I'm serious... You said it yourself, if you go back on your word, see how I deal with you... Humph, you..."
'
"Beep beep beep!"
Hearing the busy tone from his phone, Fan Xiaopang spat out a curse, then pursed his lips and continued flipping through the newspaper.
Although he was just being coquettish with that jerk, looking at the news in the newspaper and thinking about the information Ji Qingxu had revealed, Fan Xiaopang felt a pang of jealousy. That jerk is too lucky. He's only been in the industry for a few years and he's already playing the villain in a movie with an investment of over 100 million yuan. It's just too enviable.
However, Fan Xiaopang felt a little proud that this bastard was so amazing. He thought, "No wonder he's the one I've chosen." She subconsciously glanced outside the dressing room, paused, and her expression became somewhat inexplicable. Did this Fatty Wang already know that Qing Xu would be starring in director Xu Ke's work?
No, he definitely knew that Qingxu would be starring in Tsui Hark's film. Otherwise, given how shrewd that fatso is, how could he so easily hand over the male lead role to Qingxu?
Thinking of this, Fan Xiaopang became angry again. This bastard kept it a secret from me. I'll bite him to death next time we meet.
"sister!"
"What are you doing?"
"Um...it's time."
Upon hearing his assistant's reminder, Fan Xiaopang handed her his phone and newspaper with a helpless expression. Thinking about his role in "The Little Fish and the Flower Without Flaws" and then about Ji Qingxu's upcoming role in a movie with an investment of over 100 million yuan, he suddenly felt a bit bored.
However, Ji Qingxu is both the male lead in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and the main villain in "Seven Swords". After these two movies are released, this little rascal's fame will probably be incomparable. Fan Xiaopang raised an eyebrow, wondering which vixens would flock to him then.
Thinking of Ji Qingxu's playboy personality, Fan Xiaopang couldn't help but roll his eyes. Damn it, I'll drain you dry sooner or later.
"Okay, it's alright. Filming is the priority. She can call me back after she's finished filming. Okay, bye."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Jinghua picked up the newspaper on the table and started reading. When she saw Ji Qingxu's handsome face in the newspaper, she couldn't help but shake her head. "Wow, Bing really found a treasure."
Wang Jinghua stared at Ji Qingxu's photo for a long time, then narrowed her eyes. But thinking of the information Fan Xiaopang had revealed earlier, she smiled regretfully. Oh well, having soldiers is enough. One shouldn't be too greedy. Besides, the two of them are so close now, let's talk about it another time.
"Holy crap! Old Pig, get up!"
Hearing the gasps from below, Zhu Yawen, who was sleeping, sat bolt upright. "What's wrong, Mule?"
"Look, Chicken Bro is awesome!"
Upon hearing Ji Qingxu's name, Zhu Yawen instantly snapped out of her daze. Seeing the newspaper in Luo Jin's hand, she immediately took it.
"Is Chicken Bro in the news again... Holy crap, is it true?"
Seeing Zhu Yawen staring at him with wide eyes, Luo Jin smirked and asked, "Could a newspaper be fake?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Liaowen subconsciously looked at the newspaper. Seeing the familiar photo on the paper, along with the words "Xu Ke," "investment of over 100 million," and "martial arts blockbuster," he felt particularly irritated.
"Damn it, are you trying to kill me, you mule? I want to beat Chicken Bro to death."
"I want to too."
"Where's Lao Lu?"
"Are you out of your mind? He's off filming."
"Damn it, get up, get up! Damn it, Chicken Bro either doesn't move at all, or when he does, it's big news. Holy crap, this guy is really something to be jealous of. I have to call him and give him a piece of my mind, otherwise I'll feel unbalanced."
After watching Zhu Yawen get out of bed and start making a phone call, Luo Jin picked up the newspaper in his hand and stared at it for a while. He was so jealous. A martial arts blockbuster with an investment of over 100 million yuan, it was simply... He really wanted to beat him up. Did he not want anyone else to live?
"Brother Zhou, isn't this the most important reason?"
Seeing Huang Xiaoming looking at him with a bitter expression, Zhou Siwei nodded helplessly at the newspaper in his hand. "It must be one of the most important reasons. Ji Qingxu is able to star in Xu Ke's new film, and Zhang Jizong will not let go of such a good opportunity."
After a pause, Zhou Siwei sighed softly, "We found out too late. Who would have thought they would cover this up so well? If we had known earlier, perhaps we would have had a chance..."
'
Upon hearing these words, Huang Xiaoming's eyes lit up for a moment, then immediately dimmed again. He shook his head bitterly, thinking it was too late to say anything. Besides, he had tried before, but had no chance at all.
"Brother Zhou, how did Director Xu come to take a liking to him?"
Zhou Siwei smiled wryly, "Have you forgotten that Ciwen is also one of the investors in director Xu Ke's new film?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaoming suddenly realized what was going on, and then his expression became uncertain. "Brother Zhou, has President Wang contacted you during this time?"
""
Zhou Siwei sighed softly, "Xiaoming, just bear with it for a little longer, it will only be less than half a year. When you debuted, the company... at least we can't give anyone a reason to criticize us."
Upon hearing Zhou Siwei's reminder, Huang Xiaoming frowned, remained silent for a moment, and then let out a soft sigh. "I'll listen to Brother Zhou."
Glancing at the newspaper in his hand, Huang Xiaoming said with envy and jealousy, "It's really good to have a good company."
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang said that once you get there, he will definitely give you a big boost."
Huang Xiaoming chuckled twice upon hearing this, "I hope so."
