my gilded age

Chapter 161 Two Literary Young Men, One Young Woman, and Several Delinquent Young Men

From another perspective, Taiwan has a somewhat laid-back feel.

The pace here is not that fast, especially in downtown Taipei. Except for the small motorcycles speeding away on the road, it makes people feel that time is a bit slow.

Going west from Regent, there are many cafes. The buildings here seem to be out of place with Regent. A big hotel in Regent is quite tall, but the downstairs is similar to many five-star hotels with big luxury brands. There are many shops, and everyone knows the decoration of this kind of shop.

But here, they are all old buildings, quite low.Fortunately, the small shops are quite unique, and Bai Shiqiu followed Zhang Zhen, so it was up to Brother Zhen to choose any one. He didn't have any special requirements.

"Just this one."

"As long as you're familiar with it."

"Unfamiliar."

"That's fine too."

The two looked at each other and smiled, then found a place to sit down.

To be honest, from the perspective of Bai Shiqiu, a Northeasterner, it is a bit weird for two Northeastern men to drink coffee. If two men cook together, there should be some hard vegetables on the table, such as cucumbers, rice noodles, and hot peppers to protect the heart. The meat and chicken racks are grilled or stir-fried as you like, and then you get a box of Laoxue or a bottle of Laolongkou or Erguotou. When you get drunk, you take off your shirt, revealing two big piercings. , there is a layer of oil and sweat on it, and it is shiny. It is not about comparing who is plumper, nor is it about drinking more when you look at this thing, but this momentum is very important, it is called openness.

It's a pity that it can't be done now. Even if Zhang Zhen said that he is half Northeastern, he is still half missing. Moreover, Bai Shiqiu is still a literary young man, at least on the surface.

The two of them are half-Northeasterners, and they are two literary and artistic young people. Naturally, they have to talk about literature and art.

"Brother Lao Bai, why did you come to the Golden Horse Awards this time? Didn't I see your show?"

"Oh, "The Piano of Steel"."

"Is this this one? Why didn't I see you starring in it?"

"This one……"

"Is there something unspeakable?"

"Because I'm a producer."

In line with the core principle of not pretending to be a covert person, Bai Shiqiu could only do this when faced with Zhang Zhen's problem.

Zhang Zhen saw Bai Shiqiu, and actually wanted to ask about his situation. At first, he really thought something had happened to Bai Shiqiu, but he came to the Golden Horse Awards, but in the end he didn't win any awards, and he couldn't even see his works. , but it turned out to be like this.

A little embarrassed, but Zhang Zhen had other purposes, "It turned out to be a movie you invested in. I didn't expect that Brother Lao Bai was so embarrassed. Actually, I wanted to talk to you this time to say something else. I've seen it before You acted in a horror movie that was pretty good, that..."

"Ah, Brother Zhen has also watched the movie "Cat Face"?" Bai Shiqiu never expected that Brother Zhen would secretly observe it.

"I've seen it, it's very good. In fact, I really like Northeastern themes, and this horror movie is really scary." Zhang Zhen said with excitement.

The two then chatted about some horror stories in the Northeast, which was quite interesting, as if they were going to change from literary youths to Northeast old men.

But not long after, Zhang Zhen said something.

"Actually, a friend of mine wants to make a horror film. He has been planning this film for a long time. I just want to be a matchmaker this time. I feel that you, Brother Bai, might be interested in this film."

"What movie is it?" Bai Shiqiu was indeed interested.

Zhang Zhen’s horror movie, how could it not be interesting?

Immediately, Zhang Zhen started talking.

It turns out that this movie is called "Crisis" and it is a script written by Su Zhaobin, a well-known Taiwanese filmmaker. Su Zhaobin has a good background. He has a good relationship with Chen Guofu and Zhang Zhen's agent.

Zhang Zhen is planning to shoot this movie, and other actors are also being prepared, but Zhang Zhen just thinks, why not come and find Bai Shiqiu, his brother Bai.

Although there is a certain competitive relationship with Brother Bai, they are acquaintances after all, and this kind of competition is benign. In addition, "The Old Lady with a Cat Face" is indeed a very successful horror film. After Zhang Zhen heard about it, he bought the genuine disc to watch it. He was alone in his room at that time and was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

"The Thread" will be Zhang Zhen's first horror film, so on the one hand, he had the idea of ​​asking Brother Lao Bai for advice... This idea has just disappeared... On the other hand, he really hopes that Bai Shiqiu can join in.

So what kind of horror movie is this?
It's really innovative. There are a lot of science fiction elements added to this film. That is to say, a research team has developed a new material, something that looks like a Rubik's Cube, but it can be used Catching ghosts.

To put it simply, it traps a soul, and this group trapped the soul of a child. This child is quite terrifying. It seems relatively... Anyway, one person after another will die. This According to Taiwanese, the group is relatively sad, with many strange deaths.

This seems to have nothing to do with silk, but in fact, this child ghost has a silk body, and this silk is connected to her mother, and his mother is an evil ghost.

In the end, the case was solved because his mother, a devil, had done all kinds of bad things in order to protect the child, because the child died because of school bullying.

In addition, large financial groups are coveting this high technology and want to get their hands on it.

Anyway, the story in this movie sounded to Bai Shiqiu...

"Brother Zhen, let me advise you, just don't get involved in this movie."

"Ah? Why?" Zhang Zhen was confused.

"This movie is dead." Bai Shiqiu issued such a medical certificate.

"how can that be?"

By the way, Bai Shiqiu really doesn't know about "The Thread", but from the plot mentioned by Zhang Zhen, Bai Shiqiu can directly judge that this movie is finished and will not have any good box office.

"The reason is very simple. First, I see the desire to play with innovation. But if technology is combined with ghosts, will the people believe in ghosts because they are tech-savvy? Second, the theme is too confusing. What should I say? Is it to expose human nature? Greedy? It's the big conglomerate. Or is it about maternal love? Or is it scary? It's not clear, it's too unclear. If this movie doesn't die, it would be totally unreasonable."

After Zhang Zhen heard this, his expression was not very good, "But this film will star the famous Japanese movie star Eguchi Yosuke. Of course, I am the second male lead, and this... the third male lead, I originally wanted you to be the third male lead. I came to act, but now..."

"Eguchi? Who is he playing?" "A powerful scientist, that thing..."

"..." Bai Shiqiu became a little silent after hearing this.

These days, Japan is really mythologised, as is Taiwan, and the mainland is almost the same. He knew that this kind of myth would collapse later, and even later, one after another fraud incidents completely brought the island country down from the gods. altar.

"Eguchi is a big villain..."

"Brother Zhen, believe me, don't make this movie, it's a waste of time."

Bai Shiqiu had made up his mind not to get involved anyway, but Zhang Zhen still refused to give up, "Brother Bai, I'm filming Director Wang's movie "2046" recently. If you can come to "Creepy Silk", then I will help Please introduce..."

Very tempting.

"Brother Zhen, if a little shrimp like me is in the movie "2046", how many scenes can I have?" Bai Shiqiu is still self-aware.

Zhang Zhen was a little angry, "Why are you so stubborn?"

Bai Shiqiu was helpless, "This is not stubborn." He immediately thought of an interesting thing, "Brother Zhen, otherwise, if this movie is great, the box office is particularly good, and the reputation is good, then there is nothing to say, I Come to apologize, it’s me who is stupid, it’s not a compliment, okay?”

"Here, let's not say that." Zhang Zhen felt uncomfortable.

In fact, I really wanted to talk to Baek Shi Qiu about horror movies at first, but now I feel a little stiff.

But Bai Shiqiu smiled, "What if I'm right?"

Zhang Zhen's expression changed. How could he not understand?But at this time, you must persist.

"Then I'll make a film for Brother Bai for free!"

"it is good!"

The two of them had coffee instead of wine and had a drink.

Then, now that the conversation had reached this point, the two of them broke up. Although they were talking and laughing, it was a bit weird.

Bai Shiqiu was not in a hurry to leave, he was thinking about how to use the free Zhang Zhen to make a movie...

Remember, Zhang Zhen has never made a TV series. Can we force him to make one?

It didn’t say it had to be a movie, right?
Well, that's a good idea.

But at this time, there was another person at Bai Shiqiu's table. She was a girl. She couldn't see anything else, but she could feel that her legs were very long.

"You are too much!"

"..." Bai Shiqiu was speechless when he heard this, and even looked left and right.

"I'm talking about you! It's you!"

"..." Bai Shiqiu pointed to his nose, "Are you talking about me?"

"It's just that you're too much!" The girl frowned.

"What did I do too much?" Bai Shiqiu really didn't understand.

The girl was furious, "That's Zhang Zhen, don't you know him? He just said he wanted to make a movie with you, right? You refused? And you said "Crisis" is a bad movie? It hasn't been made yet. Well, how do you know?"

Bai Shiqiu laughed angrily when he heard it, "What does the matter between me and him have to do with you? Besides, what does "Quiet" have to do with you if it's a bad movie?"

The girl became even more angry, "How come it has nothing to do with me? I might also be in the role."

what?
At this point, Bai Shiqiu finally understood that the girl in love was here to fight against injustice, and ah, she might even act in "Crisis".

But suddenly, Bai Shiqiu discovered something.

"You are……"

This girl is dark, with a standard oval-shaped face, good eyebrows, a small nose that is straight, and a pretty mouth. The natural upturned sides give people a very pure feeling, and she has A pair of incredibly long legs.

Zhang Xiaodai?
It seemed that it was really her, but Bai Shiqiu was a little afraid to recognize her, because this girl was quite dark now, and she was a dark beauty.

But when the girl saw Bai Shiqiu's appearance, she put her hands on her hips and said, "Have you never seen a beautiful woman? Look at you, you are such a pig."

"Hey, hey, let me tell you, have you ever seen such a handsome pig brother?" Bai Shiqiu joked.

"You..." This girl has never met such a person.

Originally, the two of them wanted to fight each other, but four or five people came in this cafe. They were all not good people at first glance, chewing betel nuts in their mouths, and wearing clogs, with large areas on their bodies. tattoo.

"Who is Bai Shiqiu?"

"Bai Shiqiu, come out!"

When Bai Shiqiu heard this, he thought to himself, could it be that we, Lao Bai, are Taiwanese movie fans?
