Zhang Zhengrong laughed, "A month is enough. I once tried to shoot a movie in a week!"

Ye Qingqing's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "Shoot a movie every week? And what kind of movie will it even be watchable?"

"Why not? The box office is pretty good, the boss and the audience are very satisfied, and I'm very satisfied too," Zhang Zhengrong said with a smile.

Back then, it was common to be filming five or six movies at the same time, and he wasn't the only one. Ten years ago, many Hong Kong actors were filming seven or eight movies at the same time. It was a miracle they didn't develop mental illness.

Although the workload was heavy back then, he lived a fulfilling life and earned a lot of money. Most of his wealth came from that period. He used the money to buy houses and shops, and didn't spend much on other things. Over time, he accumulated a considerable fortune, and even now that he's retired, he can still live a comfortable life.

However, he truly loves acting. If he could, he would be willing to act until he is a hundred years old, and to die on the stage he loves would be the greatest fulfillment for him.

Madam Zou was behind the screen. Since acupuncture required exposing some skin, the lady had to keep a distance. Ye Qingqing quickly inserted the needles for her. After hearing Zhang Zhengrong's words, she couldn't help but say, "No wonder everyone wants to be a star. It's too easy to make money like this."

A movie can easily earn you a million or so, and a million in a week is faster than gold falling from the sky.

"Xiao Ye, do you want to act? You're so pretty, you could become famous even if you had a wooden face. I'll introduce you to someone!" Zhang Zhengrong joked with a smile, but there was also a hint of sincerity in his words.

There's a famous "wooden beauty" in Hong Kong. She's really beautiful, but her acting skills are really bad. Yet, she still thrives in the entertainment industry and is the darling of many wealthy men, who all spend a lot of money to support her.

For the first time, wealthy wives in Hong Kong united to condemn this beauty, because she was a professional mistress who loved to steal other women's husbands, and nine out of ten men who were stolen from her would fall for her. The wealthy wives regarded this beauty as a thorn in their side.

Unfortunately, no matter how much they attacked, it was useless. The wooden beauty had so many wealthy people supporting her and lived a very carefree life.

Ye Qingqing shook her head firmly, "No, I'm too sensitive to handle the pressure in this industry. I'd rather just earn my meager living peacefully."

Madam Zou smiled gently, "Xiao Ye, you're doing very well now. Very few pretty girls in that circle end up well. Sigh... And although they seem glamorous and make a lot of money, they also face a lot of pressure. I remember one month when Hanqiu was filming seven movies at the same time, she could only sleep two or three hours a day on average, and she even walked with her eyes closed."

Her tone was full of heartache. She did want her husband to stop taking so many roles, but in the entertainment industry, one often has no choice. Many roles were to repay favors. Those directors had helped him in the past, and if he refused their invitations, there would definitely be nasty rumors circulating, saying he was ungrateful and arrogant after gaining power...

Hong Kong is a small city, and you're bound to run into people all the time. Zou Hanqiu learned his lesson the hard way, and after that, he would rather work hard than refuse again. Besides, there are some movies that you simply can't refuse because the power behind them is too great. If you want to live a peaceful life, you can only obediently listen to them.

Ye Qingqing swallowed hard. Filming seven movies at the same time...tsk...is her brain capable of that?

"This money is really hard to earn. I get overwhelmed even when I'm seeing three patients at the same time."

Ye Qingqing looked at Zou Hanqiu and Zhang Zhengrong with admiration. Sure enough, no matter what circle you're in, it's not easy to climb to the top of the pyramid. Those who can climb up are extraordinary people. For an ordinary person like her with no great ambitions, it's better to just make a little money halfway up the mountain.
