Chapter 221 Family Banquet
"Mother!"
In the evening, Fu Mingxian got off school, dropped his schoolbag and ran to the kitchen, asking, "Is Brother Xiao Chen here?"
"Here you go, come for dinner in a minute."
"Great, how long will he stay?"
"A few months, what do you do when people come?"
"He can play with me when he comes. You usually don''t play with me."
"Then you should tidy up your house. It''s so messy that it makes people laugh."
Shi Hui said while cooking. She thought her daughter was going to say something back. Unexpectedly, she obediently returned to her room and started tidying up in a decent manner. She couldn''t help being extremely surprised and said to Fu Qi who came over:
"Your daughter has grown up, and she can pretend to be in front of outsiders!"
"It''s normal. When we were kids, we had to pretend when guests came to our house... What did you do? Xiao Chen is from the north, and his taste is not like ours. It needs to be saltier."
"I know, I''ve already done it."
Fu Qi was born in Shenyang and grew up in Shanghai, and Shi Hui is from Nanjing. Both of them have southern tastes. Hong Kong food is also sweet, so northern dishes have to be specially prepared.
"Ding dong ding dong!"
Just as he was talking, the doorbell rang, and Fu Qi went to open the door.
"Xiao Chen is here!"
"Hello, uncle! I brought this from the capital. Small gifts are not a sign of respect."
Chen Qi carried a bag, which contained two bottles of Maotai and two bottles of rice wine, specially bought at an overseas Chinese store.
Fu Qilian was polite, and Shi Hui also stuck his head out and said with a smile: "Why are you still taking things? You are so unreasonable! Please sit down for a while, the food will be ready soon... Hey, Zhizhi? Zhizhi?"
She called her daughter, and Fu Mingxian deliberately hid in the bedroom. After hearing this, he slowly opened the door. She was wearing a beautiful little skirt and a pink hairpin on her head. She was quiet and well-behaved, and looked like a lady.
“…”
Shi Hui rolled her eyes. This was not because she was thinking of any relationship between men and women. It was normal for children to like to play with those older than them. She just felt that her daughter was pretentious and deserved a beating.
"Brother Xiao Chen!"
"Zhizhi, long time no see, I brought you a gift too."
Chen Qi handed over another bag, which contained a doll. There is no shortage of such things in Hong Kong, but it comes down to your heart.
"Thank you, brother Xiao Chen!"
Fu Mingxian hugged the baby, feeling sincerely happy, and quickly placed it in his bedroom in a conspicuous position. Chen Qi followed him in and took a look around. It was a typical little girl''s room, full of cute things.
There is a pictorial of "Shanghai Beach" on the wall. It is a fake snow scene. Zhou Runfa is holding an umbrella and walking with Zhao Yazhi.
"Do you like Zhou Runfa?"
"Well, I think he is so handsome and dashing."
"Why don''t you like the stars of the Great Wall?"
"The Great Wall doesn''t even have a decent actor. Why do you want me to like Liu Xuehua? She''s just downstairs. She doesn''t look down when she looks up. What''s there to like about her?"
Fu Mingxian''s quiet temperament was a bit unsatisfactory, so he quickly covered his mouth and continued to smile sweetly. Chen Qiyile hit her on the head and said: "Stop pretending, it''s not like I haven''t seen you yell before. "
"I want you to take care of it!"
"Xiao Chen, Zhi Zhi, it''s time to eat!"
Shi Hui called them out and laid out a table of food. Fu Qi opened a bottle of rice wine and said with a smile: "There are few authentic rice wines in Hong Kong, and they are only sold in state-owned stores. You chose this wine well."
"I don''t understand either. I just bought it casually."
"You picked it up just right. I made a lot of seafood, so it''s suitable to go with rice wine." Shi Hui said. The four of them sat down. There were fish, shrimps, crabs, scallops and conches on the table. The pork and vegetables were pitiful, and there was also a plate of barbecued pork.
The three of them poured some wine, Fu Mingxian drank, and Fu Qi raised a glass. There was no avoidance of the politeness at the wine table. Chen Qi dealt with it skillfully, and then they ate and drank. We won’t talk about work today, it’s purely a private gathering.
However, Chen Qi also understands some of the current situation of the Great Wall.
During the heyday of the left, these three dormitories were not enough to accommodate people. Now they are mostly vacant. Three film companies and one theater chain have only the most basic operating structure left, and there is a serious loss of personnel.
The creative team was even worse. There were three or two kittens, and he only recognized Zhang Xinyan and Liu Xuehua.
"Are there any actor training classes at the Great Wall?"
"We have always had a staff, but we are not recruiting people for the time being. Liu Xuehua and the others were born in 1978, so they are the latest batch. Because we have made too few films, we have hired people, but there are no performances, and everyone is unhappy."
"Liu Xuehua''s contract expired this year, and she originally wanted to leave. Fortunately, "Fatal Turn" and "Dark Invasion" performed well, and she became somewhat famous. I managed to keep her here and signed her for a few more years."
"Then you are in need of male actors?"
"They are all lacking! Actors, actresses, directors, behind the scenes, there is an extreme shortage."
Chen Qi nodded and didn''t say anything for the time being. After all, Great Wall is someone else''s company and it''s not his place to dictate.
The left is isolated in Hong Kong, and those practitioners who have officially debuted are generally kept at a distance. Fu Qi has no cheats and cannot discover any new people. But I have a plug-in!
These days, a large number of celebrities are still amateurs!
After dinner, the couple escorted him to the door. Fu Qi said, "I will take you to the company tomorrow to discuss the co-production in detail."
"Then why don''t you just come down and have breakfast?" Shi Hui said.
"No, no, it''s too troublesome for you. I can''t just eat and drink all the time."
"Hey, if there''s any trouble, just treat this place as your home. It''s so lively with so many people, isn''t it Zhizhi?" Shi Hui teased her daughter.
"snort!"
Fu Mingxian hid behind his mother, embarrassed but looking forward to it. In her heart, Chen Qi was like the handsome and talented big brother next door. Children have a natural tendency to follow.
It was hard to refuse the kindness, so he had no choice but to agree.
Then he went back upstairs.
The room had been cleaned in advance and was very clean. The bedding was also newly replaced. There was also a TV set, which was turned on and TVB''s TV series "Wu Shuang Pu" was being played.
“…”
Chen Qi sat down and watched it for a while. He didn''t feel much about the show, but he was very interested in the two supporting actors in it.
Those were two bandits, they were gesticulating and were quickly killed.
They have young faces and stiff and exaggerated performances. One is named Andy Lau and the other is named Liang Jiahui.
They should now be students in the tenth phase of the TVB artist training class. The tenth phase has the largest number of students. Others who later became famous include Wu Jiali, Qi Meizhen, Xu Jinjiang... yes, Xu Jinjiang.
"It is truly an era when kings of heaven are everywhere!"
"Gululu!"
Chen Qi was watching when he suddenly covered his stomach and made a sound like boiling water. He didn''t like to drink rice wine, so he had a small drink and ate too much seafood, which made his stomach upset.
I hurriedly ran to the toilet and ejaculated.
This toilet is a bit old, but it is also a serious toilet, not a sitting toilet, but a squatting toilet.
"oops!"
He was very moved when he took a shit. Damn it, we have finally returned to modernity, and we can finally use toilet paper again.
