Zou Wenhuai, who originally said he would leave after sitting for a while, insisted on staying for more than an hour.
At this time, because he drank too much alcohol, his face was red and his eyes were bloodshot.
Shi Zhijian knew the time was ripe, so he winked at Zheng Shaoqiu.
Zheng Shaoqiu was the main person accompanying the drink today. When he saw Shi Zhijian winking, he raised his glass and toasted again. This time Zou Wenhuai refused, saying that he couldn't do it because he was too drunk.
Shi Zhijian no longer forced and asked Zheng Shaoqiu to sit down.
Zheng Shaoqiu just had meat foam stuck in his teeth after eating vegetables, so he found a toothpick and said he had to pee, so he secretly found a place to pick his teeth while avoiding the crowd.
Shi Zhijian poured a cup of tea for Zou Wenhuai, and then said: "Mr. Zou, don't be sad. In fact, I have heard about your story."
"What? Did it spread so quickly?" Zou Wenhuai was stunned.
Shi Zhijian did not explain, but just said: "Now that you are on holiday, even if you come back to work in the future, the positions of production manager and purchasing manager may not be guaranteed. These two positions are the lifeblood of Shaw Brothers, and Shaw Tycoon will definitely use some obedient people of his own.
How can he be at ease with a rebellious and talented person like you, Mr. Zou?"
This sentence spoke to Zou Wenhuai's heart. In addition, Shi Zhijian's analysis once again proved that the embarrassing incident of him being treated coldly by Shao Daheng had really spread. Otherwise, how could Shi Zhijian know so much?
Everyone cares about face, especially "literati" like them.
Immediately, Zou Wenhuai glumly drank the tea that Shi Zhijian had just poured out in one gulp and put down the tea cup with a "pop".
"Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles! This time I, Zou, am really embarrassed!"
"Mr. Zou, you can't say this. Instead, this is an opportunity."
"What do you mean?" Zou Wenhuai looked at Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian took a slow sip of tea and said, "Now, it's Shao Daheng who has taken the initiative to decentralize you and let you take a long vacation. It's not that you are sorry for Shaw Brothers, so why don't you just break away from Shaw Brothers and do something big?"
The four words "do something big" are like thunderbolts, deafening.
Zou Wenhuai, who was originally drunk, immediately sobered up.
Shi Zhijian seemed unaware and continued: "The world is so big, you should go out and have a look, you will definitely find something wonderful!"
Zou Wenhuai looked uncertain.
It's not that he doesn't want to go out, but what should he do if he goes out?
Now that Shaw Brothers is at its peak, who dares to go against Shao Daheng?
Without strong capital support, making movies will only lead to a dead end!
At this moment, Shi Zhijian said, "Actually, I'm also very interested in making movies!"
Zou Wenhuai was not a fool. As soon as Shi Zhijian said these words, he immediately understood.
"So Mr. Shi is also interested in making movies? Do you intend to open a movie company?"
Shi Zhijian secretly rejoiced: "If possible, I would also like to try it."
Zou Wenhuai smiled, a contemptuous smile.
"Try? Mr. Shi seems to take filmmaking too superficially! Do you know that filmmaking is a business and an art, and you can't just try and succeed! Even if you are a genius like Shao Daheng,
, and it was only after working in this industry for most of my life that I achieved what I have achieved today.”
"Mr. Zou, you misunderstood! I'm not saying that filmmaking is an easy business, I'm just reminding you not to belittle yourself! I know it takes a lot of courage to leave Shaw Brothers. As long as you are willing, I will always support you behind the scenes!
"
"Support me? Let me turn around and work for you?" Zou Wenhuai sneered, thinking that he had already seen through Shi Zhijian's mind.
"Wrong! We are partners! I am not like Shao Daheng, who is micromanaging everything and monopolizing all the power. I am relatively lazy. If I really set up a film company, I am afraid I will have to rely more on you, Mr. Zou!"
"No matter how much you say, it's useless! You are just a small businessman now, how can you compete with Shaw Brothers?"
"A small businessman is also a businessman! Just like an ant can kill an elephant, how will you know if you don't try?"
At this time, Zheng Shaoqiu came back from picking his teeth. Seeing that Shi Zhijian and Zou Wenhuai were talking "in full swing", he couldn't help but said: "Why are you two talking so happily?"
Zou Wenhuai ignored him.
Shi Zhijian didn't say anything either.
Zheng Shaoqiu looked embarrassed and thought to himself that just now the two of them were talking and laughing with him, but they turned against each other but did not recognize each other.
Zheng Shaoqiu returned to his seat and sat down.
Shi Zhijian picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water for Zou Wenhuai opposite him, and said to him with a smile: "Think about it?!"
Zou Wenhuai said nothing, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Zheng Shaoqiu was beside him: "What are you considering?"
Zou Wenhuai said: "How can I trust you?" He looked at Shi Zhijian with burning eyes.
"Simple! I recently established a company called 'Mythology', so I plan to write a script to promote my company, and the name of this script is - "Mythology"! I have even thought of the theme song
, the name is also called----"Myth"!"
Zou Wenhuai was a little stunned. He didn't expect that Shi Zhijian was really prepared instead of just talking nonsense.
But Shi Zhijian was ashamed. In order to express his sincerity, he had no choice but to feel sorry for Jackie Chan.
"Then why don't we make a bet," Zou Wenhuai said suddenly, "If you can really write an excellent script, it won't be too late for us to discuss today's matter!"
Shi Zhijian smiled, knowing that he had moved Zou Wenhuai, or at least moved his heart.
"Okay! Mr. Zou speaks quickly, and we will high-five as an oath!"
Snap!
Shi Zhijian and Zou Wenhuai high-fived each other.
Zheng Shaoqiu looked on with confusion, "What are you doing? I know what you're saying!"
Shi Zhijian picked up the teacup again and said, "Mr. Zou, please have some tea!"
Zou Wenhuai was aroused by Shi Zhijian, so he stopped being secretive and happily picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp: "Good tea!"
Next to Zheng Shaoqiu, I always felt like I had missed something.
…
After Shi Zhijian broke up with Zou Wenhuai and Zheng Shaoqiu, he took a taxi back to his home in Causeway Bay.
Taxis in this era were very scarce because they were expensive and required very high standards for drivers, especially those who knew foreign languages, so there were not many of them.
Shi Zhijian also got lucky and stopped a car.
After getting out of the car and paying the fare, Shi Zhijian walked up the stairs.
When he arrived at the third floor and passed by Nie Yongqin's door, Shi Zhijian paused for a moment, then tiptoed over.
He knew he came back too late and was afraid of waking others.
When I came to my house, I turned on the light, took a bowl of tea and drank a few more sips. I felt that the smell of alcohol had not dissipated from my body, so I tiptoed out of the door again, preparing to go to the balcony on the fifth floor to enjoy some fresh air and drink away the wine.
gas.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came to the balcony, he saw his female neighbor Nie Yongqin also on it, with her back to him and her arms folded as if she was thinking about something.
Seeing that something was wrong, Shi Zhijian was about to turn around and sneak away. He really couldn't satisfy this "artistic young woman"'s appetite for pursuing art.
But before he could turn around and take a step forward, he heard Nie Yongqin say from behind: "Am I that scary? You run away as soon as you see me?!"
