Chapter 56 Moving

After Zhang Aijia finished filming the scene in South Korea, she went to Japan to dubb the movie. She was not in Taipei, and she didn't want to get into trouble, so she didn't go to visit Wei Jingmeng. The next day she slept until she woke up naturally. After lunch, she boarded a plane and quietly returned to Hong Kong.

As expected, Shaw did not renew the contract for screening, but chose to release his own "Darewell Family".

So May 18 is the last day of the release of "Crazy Calamity".

Chen Chong was at Kai Tak Airport, called Jiang Zhiqiang and asked about the box office situation.

"Crazy Job" has a cumulative box office of 9.37 million. According to the box office statistics, it can earn about 300,000 on the last day. In this way, after Shaw Brothers theaters offline, the final box office will be around 9.7 million, which is one step away.

After two more weeks of screening in the Jiang family's theater, it should be no problem to break through.

"Crazy Calamity" made Oriental Charming Film Company famous in one battle, and its popularity was no less than Jiahe's "Tangshan Brother". As early as a few days ago, when the box office broke the record of "Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half-

Chen Chongfu smiled at this kind of remarks. He is still very weak now. He has no set and no theaters. In the Hong Kong film industry, he is just a small follower around big players.

After "Crazy Job" had a box office of more than 9 million yuan and shared the account with Shaw Brothers, Chen Chong only got about 3 million yuan. After deducting the production and marketing costs, the profit was only more than 200,000 yuan, which was considered a drizzle for him.

In the craze of "Crazy Calamity", the most profitable ones were Anh Hui and Chen Yunwen.

Ann Hsu was just starting out. In just two weeks, she became the hottest director in Hong Kong. The popularity was close to Xu Guanwen. If Chen Chong had not signed a new drama contract in advance and sent her to Japan, he would probably have been flooded with a check.

When Chen Chong was promoting the film, he deliberately highlighted the status of screenwriters, which made Chen Yunwen rise higher. She was originally a TVB ace screenwriter and wrote classic dramas such as "Crazy" and "Family Change". Now she has gone to the next level and has the momentum of becoming the top female screenwriter in Hong Kong after becoming Zhang Ailing.

Like Anh Hui, Chen Yunwen was signed by Chen Chong in advance before the release of "Crazy Calamity", and then she was asked to run around Southeast Asia to collect and organize the life information of Shisanlang of Nanhai, and was very busy.

The leading actors in the movie are already in the rising period of their careers, and "Crazy Job" is just the icing on the cake. Therefore, Zhao Yazhi was scheduled to star in "Heroes Without Tears", Wan Ziliang went to "The Great Insider", and Xu Shaoqiang received "The Legend of the Silkworm Transformation", which was a natural thing.

After asking about the box office, Chen Chong called his secretary Xiaoyu again. After confirming that the company had no important matters, he decided to take a break from his busy schedule and go back to his old house in Kwun Tong for dinner.

After Chen Chong borrowed 500,000 yuan to Great Wall Film Company, Li Tang became a celebrity in the eyes of the company's leaders. He became more and more busy and had not been home for several days, and tonight was no exception.

"Aunt Liu." Chen Chong served a spoonful of soup, took a sip, and said, "Use lotus root, eyebrows, bean bone soup as the soup base, and rinse vegetables and meatballs. It's really creative. Is this a modified Sichuan spicy hot pot?"

"Yes." Aunt Liu stood aside with an apron and said, "No Hong Kong people can eat spicy food. I tried several soup bases and thought this was the best. How did it taste?"

"Very good." Chen Chong said after taking a bite of hot vegetables: "The soup is clear, delicious and delicious."

"I'll feel relieved when I say this to you." Aunt Liu said with a smile: "If you put this in the store, you will definitely sell it well."

"Mom, my brother-in-law said it's delicious," Tianbao interrupted, "He is flattering you, so you can't take it seriously."

Chen Chong raised his hand and tried to beat him. Tian Bao jumped away like a little rabbit, then pinched his ear and stuck out his tongue, making faces at him.

After Chen Chong and Li Kaiyuan confirmed their relationship, Tianbao shouted at his brother-in-law and brother-in-law, and no longer called him "Brother Chong", but the relationship became more and more intimate.

"Mom, A Chong and my dad will go to the mainland next week." Li Kaiyuan ate a piece of lotus root, then put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said, "When will you and Tianbao move to my place?"

"Oh, moving is so troublesome." Aunt Liu hesitated and rubbed her apron and said, "I still have a store to manage. It's so inconvenient to go back to Kowloon from Hong Kong Island every day."

"Why is it inconvenient!" Li Kaiyuan glared and his voice became louder, "I drive you every morning, which is more convenient than taking a minibus? I think you are just lazy and don't want to move."

"How do you girl say?" Aunt Liu was not outdone and said loudly in a tit-for-tat way: "Look at it yourself. There are things everywhere in the room. Now that we move over, in a few months, the house on He Wentian has been delivered, and we have to move back again. Is it troublesome to go back and forth? Is it troublesome?"

"Take useful things over there, don't want anything useless." Li Kaiyuan said indifferently: "There is nothing missing over there. All these pots, pans, and other things can be given to neighbors."

"It's all bought back with hard work. If you say you give it to someone, you'll give it to someone." Aunt Liu glared at her and said, "I've said it many times. Making money is not easy. You have to save some money. Don't be too busy. That's not the way to live at home."

Aunt Liu and Li Kaiyuan, the mother and daughter, were probably reincarnated by their enemies and were born with disagreements in their horoscopes. Although the mother loved her daughter and was filial to each other, they were always for the sake of the other party's good, but they would always have a few words, and the smell of gunpowder would splash everywhere.

"Don't make a noise." Chen Chong saw Li Kaiyuan tilting his neck and was about to push the cow. He quickly put down his chopsticks, raised his hand to mediate, and said, "Aunt Liu, Uncle Li and I are going to the mainland for a month or two. Sister Yuanyuan has been busy recently. She goes out early and comes back late every day. You see, people are losing weight. It's so lonely to live there alone. You and Tianbao go and spend time with her for a while."

"Sister Yuanyuan, this room full of things is earned by Aunt Liu and Uncle Li for so many years. It has been used to support you and Tianbao for so many years. How can you say no if you don't?" Chen Chong made a smooth move at both ends and finally said: "I think this is better. Take the daily necessities over, pack the big and insignificant things here, so it will be convenient to move a new home at that time."

"It's still A Chong who is sensible." Aunt Liu turned angry and said, "Then do it like this. I'll take Tianbao there in a few days."

Li Kaiyuan snorted, but he didn't say anything even though he was angry. Tian Bao was feasting and secretly gave Chen Chong a thumbs up.

"Aunt Liu, I think I'll move in tomorrow." Chen Chong struck while the iron was hot and persuaded: "Tomorrow is Saturday. Uncle Li and I are not at work, and we are all in full, so we just move."

"Tomorrow... is it too urgent?" Aunt Liu hesitated. She looked around the house and said, "There are too many things, I haven't cleaned it up yet."

"Aunt Liu has long known what the whole house needs to be taken away and what needs to be kept." Chen Chong smiled and said, "Just keep it tomorrow morning and move it in the afternoon."

"That's it." Li Kaiyuan continued angrily: "Find a moving company, and after moving it, you can avoid running again."

"The moving company is not good. Those people are very careless. They are bumpy in moving things. What should I do if I break these things..."

Chen Chong made a gesture and signaled Li Kaiyuan not to speak. After Aunt Liu finished nagging, he said, "Aunt Liu, I moved my office last time and knew a moving company. I was very professional. Everything was registered and shipped before I was shipped. I sent it to the forex inspection. Once it was damaged, I would pay double compensation on the spot. We will move the valuable things tomorrow ourselves, and let the company move the miscellaneous items."

"real?"

"It's true." Chen Chong gave an example while eating spicy hot pot, "I remember missing a pen at that time, and they immediately compensated. Later, I found out that I put it in my pocket and forgot to take it out."

"If this is the case, that's not bad." Aunt Liu sat on the table, picked up the chopsticks and said, "Let's have dinner first, I'll start cleaning up after dinner."

Aunt Liu's modified spicy hot pot tastes good, and Chen Chong enjoys eating it. After eating, she was covered in sweat, but she felt a sense of refreshing pleasure.

"Aunt Liu, did you name this thing?"

"What's the name for this?" Aunt Liu said while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks: "Just call it Malatang."

"This thing is not spicy." Chen Chong said: "It's called Malatang, which is easy to misunderstand. If you dare not eat it, it's better to have a new name."

"You have the most ideas, just give it a name." Li Kaiyuan picked up the soup pot and said, "Look at you, you are sweating profusely. Go and wash your face and wipe it."

"Tianbao, such an important task of naming a name, I will leave it to you." Chen Chong grabbed Tianbao's ponytail casually, then walked towards the bathroom, and said as he walked: "If I wash my face, you will think of your name and I will give you a big reward."

After Chen Chong wiped his face, he looked at the mirror, feeling a little disappointed in his heart - he had only been traveling for more than 5 months and could not remember what he looked like before.

He patted his cheek, shook off his meaningless thoughts and walked out.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I thought of it." Tianbao saw Chen Chong out and said loudly: "This dish is so scary. Do you think it's okay?"

"Is this the name of tea?"

"Ye." Tianbao stared at his round eyes, with an extremely cute expression on his surprise, "Brother-in-law, you know too!"

"Your brother-in-law, I am wise and powerful. I know astronomy and geography. I know five hundred years before and five hundred years later." Chen Chong said casually, "How can I not know the name of a little tea leaf like a god?"

"Brave again." Tianbao scratched his white and tender face with his green hands a few times, made a shameful move, and said contemptuously: "Brother-in-law, you only know about it after watching "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?"

Tianbao's cute and charming movements were pleasing to the eye. He sat leisurely on the sofa and smiled and showed off: "Scaring fragrance is the dialect of Wuzhong, which means it is scary. It is produced in Dongting Mountain, Taihu Lake, Jiangsu. Because the tea is green, the shape is curved like a snail, and it is picked in early spring, it was renamed Biluochun by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. It is one of the top ten famous teas in China. These are not written in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?

"Tsk, you are older than me and read more than me. You know what's so great about this." Tianbao disdained. She shook her Chong's arm and said, "Is it okay to just say this name?"

"It's okay." Chen Chong was lightly perfunctory on the surface, but he felt that the name was really good in his heart. The soup base that Aunt Liu made was added, and the aroma was so strong that it would make people feel appetite strong when smelled, which was exactly in line with the literal meaning of "scareful and fragrant".

"Then, brother-in-law." Tianbao reached out his little hand in front of Chen Chong, looking expectant, "What is the reward?"

"What do you want?"

"I'll want whatever my brother-in-law gives me."
