Chapter 84 Life is far more exciting than fiction
Dear brothers and sisters, please collect and recommend!
While speaking, Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhenzhen had already come to Wang Ben.
Zhang Zheng heard Wang Ben's surprised words and smiled and introduced to Wang Ben: "That's right, boss. This is Qiu Zai and his girlfriend Zhenzhen. Qiu Zai, Zhenzhen, this is..."
Zhang Zheng was not surprised that Wang Ben knew Zheng Shaoqiu. This year, Zheng Shaoqiu's development on TVB was very smooth. He hosted the music program "Stand Rhyme and Heart" and performed in the variety show "Happy Tonight", and starred in his first TV series "Hot Cold and Cold", and had just won the TVB "Most Promising Newcomer Award".
Zheng Shaoqiu's development on TVB was very smooth and his exposure rate was extremely high. It was not surprising that Wang Ben knew him.
Zheng Shaoqiu shook hands with Wang Ben and smiled and said, "Zhengzai, you don't need to introduce him! No one knows Mr. Wang's name now. Mr. Wang, I am Zheng Chuangshi, and the stage name is Zheng Shaoqiu. Just call me Qiuzai. This is my girlfriend Zhenzhen. Please take care of Mr. Wang in the future!"
Zhenzhen looked at Wang Ben curiously. Although Wang Ben is tall, he has a handsome and elegant temperament, and is quiet and does not look like a person who has eaten night porridge and practiced Kung Fu. How could Brother Xiaolong say that he is better than him?
In Zhenzhen's impression, Li Xiaolong never praised anyone like this. Li Xiaolong once said: "I will never say that I am the number one in the world, but I will never admit that I am the number one."
Will Brother Xiaolong admit that he is not as good as Wang Ben? I don’t believe it! Humph! Let me try how powerful you are!
Zhenzhen took advantage of Wang Ben's handshake and Zheng Shaoqiu, and kicked Wang Ben's waist and abdomen with a side kick.
"oh?"
Wang Ben was a little surprised, and his waist and abdomen were closed, and he turned sideways and dodged Zhenzhen's sneak attack.
"Miss Li, what's going on?"
"Zhenzhen stops! Mr. Wang is embarrassed!"
Zheng Shaoqiu hurriedly hugged Zhenzhen and apologized to Wang Ben with apologies.
Wang Ben waved his hand, not caring. Zhenzhen's fists and feet were loose, and he seemed to have never practiced much. How could she have touched Wang Ben with such skills? Wang Ben thought he had never offended her, but why did Zhenzhen, a girl who looked very gentle, suddenly attack her?
Before Wang Ben could express his doubts, Zheng Shaoqiu asked Zhenzhen: "Zhenzhen, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly attack Mr. Wang?"
Zhenzhen felt a little regretful when she saw that her sudden attack did not hit Wang Ben, but this also proved that Wang Ben did have some skills. However, Zhenzhen still didn't believe that Wang Ben was better than Li Xiaolong.
"Brother Xiaolong said that Mr. Wang's kung fu is better than him. I don't believe it, so I just want to give it a try!"
"ah?"
Wang Ben and Zheng Shaoqiu were both surprised.
At this time, Li Xiaolong's "Jingwumen" is being screened. In addition to Li Xiaolong's previous performances in movies and "Happy Tonight", people in Hong Kong think that Li Xiaolong's kung fu is invincible in the world. Now it is hard to accept that Zhenzhen says this.
Just like Ren Woxing and Dongfang Bubai, the leader of the martial arts world, suddenly said one day: My skills are not good, and I can't compare to XXX. I guess there are not many people who believe it.
"Li Xiaolong really said that?"
Zhenzhen nodded.
Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhang Zheng looked at Wang Ben in disbelief and said to himself: Could it be that what Zhenzhen said is really not true? I didn’t expect that Mr. Wang was a gentle man, but he was actually a master of kung fu!
Wang Ben smiled bitterly. Is this a shot even though he was lying down! He didn't expect Li Xiaolong to spread this matter. However, what made Wang Ben even more curious was: How could Zhenzhen know Li Xiaolong?
In fact, what Wang Ben didn't know was that the Zhenzhen family and the Li Xiaolong family were family friends. Li Xiaolong once gave advice on Zhenzhen Jeet Kune Do, and after Zhenzhen broke up with Zheng Shaoqiu, he married Li Xiaolong's younger brother Li Zhenghui.
Looking at the stunned Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhang Zheng, Wang Ben touched his nose and smiled, "That's Brother Long who has raised me. How can I compete with Brother Long for my three-legged kung fu? Come on, don't stand stupidly, sit here and rest."
Zhenzhen rolled her eyes, "I just said, how could anyone be better than Brother Xiaolong!"
Wang Ben felt that Zhenzhen's temper was so cute that he was not afraid of offending others if he spoke quickly.
Zheng Shaoqiu looked at Wang Ben awkwardly. He didn't know what happened to Zhenzhen today, and why did he speak so carelessly.
"Mr. Wang, I'm so embarrassed! Zhenzhen today..." Zheng Shaoqiu hurriedly apologized to Wang Ben for his girlfriend.
Wang Ben waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, Miss Zhenzhen speaks quickly and has a straightforward temper. I like to make friends like this."
Zhang Zheng looked at the watch and it was almost time to start construction. He reminded Wang Ben, "Boss, it's almost time to start construction. Do you think you should go to put on makeup first, otherwise it will be too late."
Wang Ben nodded, then smiled and said to Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhenzhen: "Qiuzi, sorry, I have to go put on makeup. You can sit down first! I'll treat you to dinner tonight, let's have a good chat."
Zheng Shaoqiu did not expect that Wang Ben was so generous. Not only did he not care about his girlfriend's rudeness, but he also planned to invite them to dinner. Zheng Shaoqiu quickly smiled and said, "Why are you embarrassed to let Mr. Wang spend money? Let me treat this meal! This is also my apology to Mr. Wang for Zhenzhen's rudeness just now."
Wang Ben patted Zheng Shaoqiu on the shoulder, saying that Zheng Shaoqiu is good at doing things and is a gentleman with a graceful gentleman. It seems to be true now. If a person like Zheng Shaoqiu who is diligent, studious, talented, and able to handle interpersonal relationships cannot become popular, it is really unreasonable. When Wang Ben heard Zheng Shaoqiu say this, he did not insist. Anyway, Wang Ben had already made up his mind to help Zheng Shaoqiu and not let him repeat the same mistakes.
"Okay! I won't argue with you anymore. I'll let Qiuzai treat you tonight, but you won't be able to compete with me next time!"
Zheng Shaoqiu smiled and replied, "Okay, Mr. Wang, please please next time."

"Thank you all for your hard work, I'll be here today. The work is over!" Wang Ben stood up from the canvas chair and stretched his waist.
Hearing the signal of finishing work, the crew packed up their equipment much faster than usual. They rushed to carry things and ran quickly. They were thinking about finishing work all afternoon, so they could find familiar entertainment friends to introduce them to Wang Ben and then receive commissions.
Looking at their anxious appearance, Wang Ben nodded proudly, which was quite like the feeling of Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin when he saw the new Jinshi in front of Duanmen: Heroes of the world have entered my destiny!
However, Wang Ben did not expect them to find big directors like Xu Ke and Wang Jiawei, and at most they would find some basic behind-the-scenes staff. However, in Wang Ben's view, big directors and screenwriters are important, but the basic staff below are also very important. Without these bottom-the-scenes staff, the movie would not be able to be shot.
Wang Ben looked at Zhang Zheng who was packing up the negatives and nodded with satisfaction. These kings obviously felt that Zhang Zheng was more diligent and serious than when he filmed "Half-Top" last time. It seemed that he really wanted to join Phantom International.
"Assistant Zhang, you can go to dinner with me after you finish cleaning up!"
Zhang Zheng raised his head and smiled, "Boss, no need. I have to lock the negatives in the warehouse safe and hand them over to others. If something goes wrong with the negatives, today's hard work will be in vain."
Wang Ben admired Zhang Zheng's work attitude very much. He patted Zhang Zheng on the shoulder and smiled: "Okay, then we'll have fun after the movie is finished!"
Zhang Zheng also smiled meaningfully, "Boss, we have many opportunities to drink in the future, not only the chance to finish the filming."
When Wang Ben heard the legend, he knew the elegant meaning and immediately understood what Zhang Zheng meant. In fact, since Zhang Zheng called Wang Ben, Wang Ben knew that he was surrendering to him. But for the sake of the Sixth Uncle's face, everyone pretended not to know.
Wang Ben laughed and said, "Yes, there are many opportunities in the future, so don't worry this time. Okay, you're busy first, Qiuzai and the others will have a drink."
Just as he was talking, Zheng Shaoqiu walked into the house to find Wang Ben. Zheng Shaoqiu saw that Zhang Zheng was still busy and said, "Zhengzai, hurry up and clean up, let's go to have a drink together."
Zhang Zheng waved his hand and smiled and said, "No, I have something to do, you and the boss!"
Wang Ben held Zheng Shaoqiu's shoulder and smiled, "Let's go, let's go! There are many opportunities to drink in the future, so don't care about this time. Zhenzhen, why didn't he come with you?"
Zheng Shaoqiu smiled embarrassedly and said, "Zhenzhen will have a performance in Jinhan Nightclub tonight, so... Mr. Wang, I'm sorry!"
"Oh? Then we'll go and support her! Let's go!"
Zheng Shaoqiu drove the car in front and Wang Ben followed behind. Wang Ben looked at the second-hand Nissan and couldn't help but sigh. Although Wang Ben looked down on this car, it's easier to have a car than not. Unfortunately, it will take a few days to shoot the scene of the beach parking lot, and the car will make its final contribution and it will be knocked off gorgeously!
By then, Wang Ben will return to the car-free family and can only take the bus to rent when going out. Fortunately, the two movies have been released for more than half a month, and the box office dividends will soon be reduced. At that time, Wang Ben's funds will soar and he can do a lot of things.
Although the two movies were almost released together, the box office of the two movies did not weaken at all. Nowadays, Hong Kong citizens basically have no entertainment. Apart from reading newspapers during the day, they just watch TV at home at night. If a wonderful movie is released, it will be almost as lively as a festival. Most viewers watched "Half a Tin" at Shaw Brothers and then went to Jiahe to watch "Jingwumen".
The two movies are not of the same type of film, each with their own excitement, and will not prevent the audience from choosing to watch. Moreover, many funny plots in "Half-King Baliang" are obviously imitating Li Xiaolong, which is interesting. For example, the audience can see Li Xiaolong's clean and neat nunchaku performance in "Jingwumen", and the funny sausage nunchaku in "Half-King Baliang". If you have watched both, it will be even more interesting.
These kings have been paying attention to the release of the movie, and they call to find out the amount of the box office every day. Now that they have been released for more than two weeks, the box office battle between the two movies is in a state of anxiety. However, because "Half-jin Baliang" was released earlier than "Jing Wumen", and "Half-jin Baliang" is suitable for both young and old, the box office is slightly ahead of "Jing Wumen".
The box office of "Half-Kim Eight Tails" has nearly 5.8 million Hong Kong dollars, and "Jingwumen" has also reached 5.5 million Hong Kong dollars. It has long broken the record of 3.2 million Hong Kong dollars created by "Brother Tangshan".
"Brother Tangshan" has been released for 23 days, with a box office of 3.2 million Hong Kong dollars. Now the box office potential and market response of these two movies are better than "Brother Tangshan". Coupled with the confrontation between Shaw Brothers and Jiahe, Wang Ben estimated that the movie will be released for at least one month. With this momentum, the box office of both movies is expected to exceed 8 million. If the screening time is extended, it may not be impossible to exceed 10 million.
Moreover, this is only the box office in Hong Kong, and overseas box office has not been calculated yet. Wang Ben’s contract with Shaw Brothers and Jiahe was written about the total box office. If the box office in Shanghai is added, Wang Ben’s box office dividend can easily exceed 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
Think about it five or six years ago, Zhang Che was awarded the title of "Million Director" for a movie "One-Armed Knife", and was very popular for a while. But Wang Ben might not be able to become the first director and screenwriter in Hong Kong with a box office of over 10 million yuan. The title of "Million Director" and "Million Screenwriter" will fall on him. At that time, Wang Ben could reach a peak in both box office revenue and reputation in Hong Kong.
Wang Ben can just use the popularity accumulated by the two movies to gain fame for Phantom International and "Eight Stars" and make "Eight Stars" another movie viewing craze in the schedule of the Spring Festival New Year films.
While driving the car, Wang Ben was fantasizing about his life after he became rich and couldn't help singing.
When we have money, we have to spend it like this
Foreign girls are too lazy and stupid, if you want to marry a mixed race
One floor is too short and two floors are not high, and it needs to be built on three floors.
Three-star four-star hotels are too low to accommodate five-star hotels
BMW and Mercedes-Benz are not of high quality, Lincoln needs to be lengthened
...
The two drove all the way to Hennessy Road in Wan Chai and stopped, and the Kingham Nightclub arrived.
To be continued, please stay tuned, and it will be more exciting later. Please collect, recommend and evaluate!
Finally, I would like to gossip what I saw today. Because of writing books, I have read a lot of news information and gossip on the Internet. I used to know that Shen Jixia and Deng Guangrong were sworn brothers and sisters, and Deng also had a background, but I didn’t expect that Shen Jixia would be so bad. Small gossip incidents like slapping Azhi and finding someone to beat Lin Xiaofeng are no longer strange; what’s even more bizarre and exciting is that someone broke the news that Wen Meiling’s death was directly related to her…
OK! I've already out, this is gossip from several years ago. But this is the first time I've seen it. But the more I know these celebrities, the less interested I am in them.
It’s really...why is that saying, the world is too deep, and life is much more exciting than the novel!
There is also the Tianya Forum that is really an interesting place!
Does anyone say in the comment that the protagonist is a pervert? I also want to reply: Brother Guan Xi is very busy, Brother Zong Rui takes care of himself, entertainment has no limit, and entertainment has no circle. The same sentence: The water in this world is too deep, and life is far more exciting than the novel!
