Chapter 798
"Liu Chen, did you see that Laibao Tea Restaurant? That tea restaurant has a history of more than 50 years. It opened here before I was born! And it was just a small restaurant with less than ten square meters, but now it has opened many branches in Hong Kong."
"Some day ago, I met the third uncle, the owner of the tea restaurant. He also told me that he would drive the tea restaurant to the mainland!"
After saying that, Director Zhou excitedly pointed to another ice room and said, "Look at that ice room, it was opened by Aunt Liu, and it has a history of more than 20 years! Before I became famous, I often ate fast food at her."
Listening to Director Zhou's introduction, Liu Chen couldn't help but smile and said, "Director Zhou, are you born here? Why are you familiar with the things here?"
When Director Zhou heard Liu Chen’s inquiry, he was silent for a while before sighing and said, “Yes, decades have passed in a blink of an eye!
Director Zhou's eyes were swaying, as if he had thought of the ups and downs he had experienced over the past few decades. After a long time, he sighed leisurely and said, "I'm really sorry, the old sayings of one person will increase! Liu Chen, in the future, this film industry will be the world of you young people!"
"Director Zhou is too famous. In my heart, you are still the same Director Zhou who can bring laughter to Chinese people!"
In fact, Liu Chen had another sentence in his heart that he had not said - you are the director Zhou who can bring laughter to Chinese people, but you have never really laughed!
Every time Liu Chen saw Director Zhou's gray-haired appearance on TV screens, he always felt sad! Yes, he brought joy to countless people, but he never laughed happily.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Director Zhou calmed down and turned around.
What Director Zhou mentioned in Hutchison is the most famous tea restaurant in the local area, with a history of decades.
Moreover, the most famous place in this tea restaurant is because it was jointly established by several celebrities.
It is also quite famous throughout Hong Kong.
Director Zhou seemed to come here often. When the staff of the tea restaurant saw Director Zhou, they were not as excited as ordinary people. Instead, they came up with a smile and took Director Zhou and Liu Chen to a private room on the second floor of the tea restaurant.
This private room is close to the street, and through the windows, you can see the crowds coming and going on the street. After Director Zhou sat down, he skillfully began to wash the tea sets.
Liu Chen was attracted by his actions and said softly: "Director Zhou, do you still know how to have a tea ceremony?"
Director Zhou smiled indifferently and explained: "Tea culture has been circulating in our China for a long time. Even the little Japanese absorbed some of our tea ceremony and dared to claim that they have tea ceremony culture. As Chinese people, we cannot be compared by the little Japanese."
After hearing Director Zhou say this, Liu Chen nodded in admiration.
While the two were talking, Director Zhou's agent knocked in.
The agent smiled friendly at Liu Chen, and then said to Director Zhou: "Director Zhou, the person is here!"
When Liu Chen heard this, he was stunned and said to himself: Could there be someone else who comes to have breakfast tea together?
However, before Liu Chen thought for too long, someone pushed the private room door.
A woman with excellent temperament and appearance came in outside the door.
Liu Chen looked up and was stunned. She was Huang Yiyi who hadn't seen for a long time.
Huang Yiyi was also stunned when she saw Liu Chen. She still remembered the man who had freed her siege.
However, after only a short while, Huang Yiyi reacted and nodded politely to Liu Chen.
Then she sat next to him and Director Zhou.
Director Zhou looked at Huang Yiyi and his eyebrows were beating unnaturally. After a long time, he said lightly: "You are late!"
Huang Yiyi's body trembled, she bit her lower lip tightly, and after a while, she lowered her voice and carefully apologized to Director Zhou.
"Director Zhou, I'm sorry, I..."
Who knew that before she could finish her words, Director Zhou waved his hand impatiently, turned cold and said, "I don't want to listen to the explanation. You have to know, what I hate the most is someone who has no concept of time! You are ten minutes late! And..."
Speaking of this, Director Zhou's voice was even colder, just like the ice in the twelfth month of winter.
"And why didn't you come to the promotional activities of Yanjing Film Academy?"
Director Zhou's tone was aggravated when he said this, and a sense of majesty of the superior was unconsciously emitted.
Huang Yiyi on the other side just felt like she was back on the set, facing the serious director!
Her lips trembled slightly, she wanted to speak but didn't know what to say. After a while, tears were already faintly in her eyes.
Liu Chen felt a little embarrassed when he saw it. He was about to speak, but the private room approached another person!
The man had a big back and was wearing a straight suit.
When Liu Chen knew this person, he was Huang Yiyi's former agent, Zhang Qiang.
Huang Yiyi's agency contract was signed very strangely. The movie was held in Director Zhou's company, but other performances were indeed other companies, which also laid hidden dangers for the subsequent conflicts.
After Zhang Qiang came in, he saw the tense atmosphere inside, and immediately ran to Huang Yiyi in shock and said to Director Zhou with a sharp voice: "What are you doing? What are you doing? I'm just being late! I asked my Yiyi to dress up for a while."
When Director Zhou heard this, the darkness on his eyebrows became even deeper. Then, he slapped the table hard and cursed angrily: "It's not true! Do you think you are a big star now and don't need to be punctual?"
Zhang Qiang was obviously startled by Director Zhou's momentum, but he still tried to calm down and fired back: "It's only a few minutes. Can you make such a big deal?"
"How many minutes?" Director Zhou was so angry that his veins swelled up, and his anger suddenly surged up, and he said, "Okay, let me ask you, where were you when the film school was promoting? As the main creators, the publicity was not available. You really disappointed me!"
When Zhang Qiang heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. He also said in a low voice: "Didn't the contract say that you don't have to participate in all publicity activities?!"
"And, what main creator is just a small supporting role with only a few shots. It's a good thing that my family is working hard and trying to figure out the role every day. From what I see, there is no need to do that!"
At this time, Huang Yiyi, who was sitting on the side trembling, suddenly raised her face full of tears and shouted to Zhang Qiang: "Enough, stop talking!"
Then, she stood up and bowed to Director Zhou and said, "Director Zhou, it's my fault. When I received the notice, I was shooting commercials in other cities. This is our dereliction of duty. I promise you that there will be no next time!"
Director Zhou had a dark face and said lightly after a long time, "It's better not to have a next time!"
At this time, Liu Chen also hurriedly said to him, "Okay, okay, don't talk about work anymore, just use breakfast."
As he said that, he turned to look at Huang Yiyi and asked with a smile: "Miss Huang should be like me. This is the first time I have come to Hong Kong to have authentic breakfast tea, right?"
Huang Yiyi knew that Liu Chen was helping him to help him get the situation. She nodded slightly to him, and then replied in a low voice: "No, Director Zhou brought the crew here to have a meal before."
