Chapter 365 Infernal Affairs
"That seal is so cute, with a round belly..."
"Yeah, I can also hide things."
The two women in front were chatting excitedly, and two people were following behind.
The four of them walked into the elevator together, and Zhou Huimin issued an invitation:
"Wazai and Sister Liqian, come and have dinner together in the evening. The Bak Kut Teh that Sister Liqian gave you at noon is delicious. I haven't been able to thank you enough."
Liu Dehua paused, knowing that this was the topic.
He laughed and laughed all afternoon and played around in Ocean Park. The harmonious atmosphere made him almost think that the couple really just invited them to play together.
In fact, he was very happy even so, because this attitude showed that Qin Muchu did not misunderstand Zhu Liqian's purpose of contacting Zhou Huimin.
That's good news for him.
It was nice to end it like this, but now that there was another meal, he was a little confused whether he was just being hospitable or if he had something to say.
Subconsciously he glanced at Zhu Liqian, and his wife's encouraging and comforting eyes relieved his anxiety a little.
Finally he agreed with a smile:
"That's disturbing."
The elevator quickly reached the floor, and I walked into the house. I greeted Zhou's mother and was polite for a while.
Zhou's mother was very enthusiastic about the arrival of Liu Dehua and his wife, but she was not surprised, as if she knew about it in advance.
"Brother Hua, come to the study with me."
Hearing Qin Muchu's words, Liu Dehua inevitably became anxious again, but he couldn't refuse.
Then he walked into the study room. It was very empty and there were no books in it. There was only a stack of white paper on the desk.
Qin Muchu poured a cup of tea, and Liu Dehua quickly took it with both hands.
"Brother Hua, sit down. I heard from Huimin that Sister-in-law Hua has been taking good care of her these days." Qin Muchu said with a smile.
Liu Dehua didn't know if he was really thanking him or if there was something in his words, but since Qin Muchu took the initiative, he just responded:
"It's nothing. I have been in Yanjing for the past few days and have had little contact with Lissie. It was only when I came back today that I found out that she and Huimin know each other. What a coincidence."
Qin Muchu understood what Liu Dehua meant.
At first, he also suspected that Zhu Liqian had ulterior motives for contacting Zhou Huimin, but after hearing Zhou Huimin's explanation, he overturned that idea.
And this method of contact is too rough.
It's very easy to steal the chicken but lose the rice. Andy Lau doesn't look like that kind of fool.
It was not for this reason that he called Liu Dehua to the study alone.
"Brother Hua, do you still have a schedule this year?"
Liu Dehua was stunned.
Although it has begun to decline, if it is only in Hong Kong Island and Bay Area, he is still considered to be at the top.
Therefore, the work schedule is quite full.
I subconsciously reviewed my work schedule for this year. I have two variety shows in April, commercials in May, and several commercial performances in June...
These are just what he can remember. The job is definitely more than these, but for more details, he has to ask his agent.
But these are not the key now. The key is why Qin Muchu asked him if he had any schedule.
This is usually asked when discussing cooperation.
And if Qin Muchu wanted to talk about cooperation, what would he talk about?
An incredible idea suddenly appeared in his mind. Liu Dehua felt his breathing quicken, his Adam's apple rolled, and he swallowed hard, trying to suppress his emotions and prevent his eyes from getting too hot.
Just when he was about to reply, "It's available anytime," he was willing to gamble even if it was just a possibility.
Qin Muchu walked to the desk, picked up the pile of papers on it, and walked over again:
"I want to open a new play, probably around June. Here is the script. Brother Hua will take a look at it first. If you are interested, we will discuss it."
"boom!--"
Liu Dehua felt as if he heard the sound of waves hitting the rocks.
Without thinking, he took the script handed over by Qin Muchu in an almost "grabbing" manner. The three big characters on it occupied all the eyes - Infernal Affairs.
……
Zhu Liqian didn't know what was going on with Liu Dehua. After he came out of the study, his whole person changed. His face was red and he looked very excited, but also a little absent-minded.
So in order to prevent my husband from doing anything rude, I hurriedly left after eating.
The aunt took care of the mess, and Qin Muchu and Zhou Huimin returned to their room.
"When will the movie be shot?"
Zhou Huimin asked while changing into home clothes.
Qin Muchu lay directly on the bed, thought for a while and said deliberately:
"I will go to Yanjing to start shooting in May, and it will last until the Chinese New Year."
"what?"
Zhou Huimin exclaimed, opening her mouth and dropping all the clothes in her hands.
He walked to Qin Muchu and sat down next to him in two steps, his eyebrows furrowed:
"No, Mimi said it was a Hong Kong police film. It was filmed on Hong Kong Island. It was very simple and didn't take long to film."
Seeing Zhou Huimin's anxious look, Qin Muchu snickered in his heart, but with a serious look on his face, he turned over:
"Am I the director or is Yang Mi the director? Does a Hong Kong police film have to be filmed in Hong Kong?"
Zhou Huimin did not expect that he would shoot himself in the foot.
She had heard Yang Mi talk about Liu Dehua's meeting with them in Yanjing during their previous chat. During this period, Yang Mi also mentioned that Qin Muchu had a script suitable for Liu Dehua.
It was just a small talk, but soon forgotten.
But I happened to meet Zhu Liqian in the past two days and became friends again.
Zhou Huimin then remembered Liu Dehua's rejection in Yanjing. She felt guilty that his wife was so kind to her.
Then I asked Yang Mi in detail about the script that was suitable for Andy Lau.
What she asked Qin Muchu to promise today was not to stop filming the movie just because she was pregnant.
After all, the movie was filmed on Hong Kong Island. In such a big place, we can see each other every day.
But I didn't expect that Qin Muchu actually said that he would go to Yanjing to film, and the filming took so long.
Pouting her lips, she suddenly noticed that Qin Muchu's body was shaking when his back was turned. She understood instantly:
"You lied to me, right?"
She stretched out her hand to pull Qin Muchu over, and sure enough she saw a smiling face.
He immediately gritted his teeth and punched like raindrops:
"You are so evil. I said you were serious and you lied to me again."
……
Early the next morning, Qin Muchu received Liu Dehua's response.
And it wasn't a phone call, he showed up at the door.
Seeing the fatigue and shine on Liu Dehua's face, Qin Muchu was a little surprised:
"Brother Hua, you didn't sleep all night, did you?"
Liu Dehua has sharp eyes and holds a script and a small book in his hand:
"I read the script last night. This is some information and ideas I found. Director Qin, I think I can perform this play well."
He handed over the small book in his hand.
Qin Muchu looked at the notebook in shock.
He said that even if he read the script, he wouldn't have spent the whole night reading it. After all, it was only tens of thousands of words. It turned out that he had also checked the information.
He took the small book and did not read it immediately. Instead, he led Liu Dehua to the dining table:
"Brother Hua, you haven't eaten yet, so it's time to have a meal first."
Without giving Liu Dehua a chance to refuse, he asked Aunt Zhang to add breakfast.
They were the only ones at the dining table. Zhou's mother got up early and went for a walk after dinner, while Zhou Huimin was still asleep.
A breakfast was a good way to calm down Liu Dehua who had been excited all night. After the adrenaline faded, exhaustion came in like a tide. He yawned all day long after sitting on the sofa, and his eyes kept secreting tears to moisten the dryness.
Qin Muchu originally wanted Liu Dehua to go back and rest first, and then contact him after reading the notebook, but he thought that Liu Dehua might not be able to sleep well if he didn't give a reply, so he gave up.
Opened the small book and started reading.
Liu Dehua didn't write much in his notebook, but you can see traces of repeated revisions and deletions of large sections.
It can be seen that he put a lot of effort into it, and it is already very good to be able to do this overnight.Infinite Hell, the most painful hell in Buddhist scriptures. If you fall into this hell, you will be tortured forever and will not be able to escape...
After reading the last paragraph, the sound of "snoring" next to it also reached my ears.
Looking at Liu Dehua who had fallen asleep with his head up on the sofa, Qin Muchu originally wanted to ask him about his understanding of the role, but now he had to give up.
I took a blanket to cover him and let him sleep there.
When Liu Dehua woke up, it was almost eleven o'clock noon.
He opened his eyes drowsily and saw Zhu Liqian beside him. He thought he was at home, so he leaned over and hugged her and kissed her.
Zhu Liqian was startled by the sudden attack. When she reacted, she blushed and hit Andy Lau:
"What are you doing? Are you crazy?"
"Hey, what are you sorry for..."
Liu Dehua didn't care. When he turned around, he saw Zhou Huimin staring at him strangely.
The smile froze instantly.
"Huimin, why are you here..."
Before he finished speaking, memories of before going to bed flooded into his mind. Looking at the surrounding decoration, it was completely different from his own home.
Only then was it confirmed that he was still at Qin Muchu's house. Even though he had been in the entertainment industry for many years, it was inevitable that he would blush:
"Sorry, I fell asleep here. Where is Director Qin?"
Zhou Huimin's eyes flickered between Liu Dehua and Zhu Liqian, with a teasing smile in her eyes. When she heard Liu Dehua's words, she said:
"He went outside and seemed to be looking for Boss Yang."
Among the people in Hong Kong's entertainment circle who can be called Boss Yang, Andy Lau immediately knew who he was.
So "Infernal Affairs" is really on the agenda.
My heart couldn't help but feel hot.
At this time, Zhou Huimin handed over another thing:
"This is what Qin Muchu gave you."
Liu Dehua took it and read it. It was still a script.
However, unlike the full version of the script given to him before, this time the script was much thinner and was about a single character.
Liu Jianming.
Liu Dehua's eyes flashed with joy.
This was also his favorite role when he read the script, and compared to the upright Chen Yongren, Liu Jianming is more complex.
……
Now that we have decided to film "Infernal Affairs" and film on Hong Kong Island, some people will definitely not be able to avoid it.
Qin Muchu actually contacted not only Boss Yang, but also the Xiang family.
The party was held at Boss Yang's big villa. Qin Muchu arrived early, and Xiang had to wait for a while.
"Oh, why did you buy a house if you told me you needed it? I have so many vacant houses, just take one."
Boss Yang complained about Qin Muchu.
When you open your mouth, you will get a suite for free, which is full of arrogance.
But as the saying goes, "What's free is the most expensive." Qin Muchu didn't want to receive this unnecessary favor, and it wasn't like he couldn't afford it.
So he smiled and said:
"Uncle Yang, I won't dare to come here after you say that. Others will think I'm here to rob your property."
"Hahaha, what kind of family property is there?"
Boss Yang was also amused.
"Uncle, I also have a real estate business. This business is very expensive. Selling it is expensive, and the cost is only a few dollars.
It's not comfortable to live on the flat floor. If you choose a villa later, it will be a gift from me to my children. "
Qin Muchu had heard of people who were born with silver spoons in their mouths, but never heard of people who were born with property rights in their mouths, and it was a villa property in Hong Kong Island.
In comparison, how many silver spoons does a villa deserve?
He shook his head and still refused:
"Uncle Yang, what you said is really going to scare me away."
Seeing Qin Muchu's insistence, Boss Yang stopped mentioning the matter and asked instead:
"Huimin is three months pregnant, right? Is it a boy or a girl?"
Qin Muchu was stunned.
Jiang Zhiqiang had asked him this before, but the month hadn't arrived yet and he couldn't find out.
In addition, he himself didn't care about men and women, so he forgot about it.
I didn’t expect Boss Yang to remember it so clearly.
"I haven't checked, but it's the same for boys and girls. It doesn't matter."
"Hey, it's better to be a boy."
Boss Yang shook his head.
Qin Muchu didn't argue with Boss Yang either.
At Boss Yang's age and from a wealthy family, it is normal to have the concept of favoring boys over girls.
But Boss Yang not only favors boys over girls, but more importantly, his granddaughter-in-law has detected that she is pregnant with a girl. If Qin Muchu's baby is a son, wouldn't this be just right?
So he said:
"It's better to check it out. It doesn't take much trouble. It's at the hospital where the pregnancy check-up is done. I'll know for sure."
Qin Muchu's originally indifferent mentality was really disturbed by Boss Yang's provocation.
It feels like opening a blind box.
Moreover, it was only a few days before Zhou Huimin’s next pregnancy test, so she said:
"Okay, let's check it during the next pregnancy test."
"Well, you must inform me later. I have to prepare a gift for the child."
Yang Shoucheng smiled and gave instructions.
"Okay, but please don't give away the house..."
……
Just chatting like this, about an hour later, Xiang's family also arrived.
"Brother Yang, Qin Sheng!"
Xiang Huaqiang walked over quickly, his serious face full of smiles.
"Haha, Qin Sheng is not here today, but Brother Xiang doesn't want to come to my place."
Boss Yang quietly changed his name to Qin Muchu.
"No, I've been thinking about it for a while, so I'm afraid of disturbing you. We only dare to come here today because of Qin Sheng's light. Otherwise, when you want to see us, it's just a matter of words from time to time."
The graceful Xiang Tai opened his mouth and held two people in his arms.
"Haha, my younger siblings are nice to talk to. I can't compare to Brother Xiang in this regard."
Boss Yang also maintains the same respect for Xiang Tai as he does for Xiang Huaqiang. After all, Xiang Tai is also a legendary woman among Hong Kong's wealthy families.
But today it's not just Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Tai who came to the Xiang family, there was another person behind them.
"Zuo is here too, hurry up, come here and let me take a look."
Boss Yang waved.
The boy standing behind the Xiang family couple immediately stepped forward. Although there was a smile on his face, there was still a fierceness between his eyebrows.
"Ang button."
Boss Yang smiled and patted him on the shoulder:
"Okay, I look a lot better. Are you feeling well?"
"Okay, Angkou."
Ah Zuo immediately replied, but was slapped by Xiang Tai:
"It's okay, I just got better, but I still need to take care of myself..."
As she spoke, she suddenly slapped her forehead:
"By the way, Qin Sheng, this is my youngest son, Xiang Zuo. Zuo, call someone."
Xiang Zuo responded very quickly, almost as soon as Xiang Tai finished speaking, he immediately said:
"Brother Qin, hello, just call me Zuo."
