Zhang Qiurui smiled and shook his head, saying, "I can't help it. I asked you to buy them, but you were reluctant. So I had to go through the trouble to buy them for you myself. Besides, these aren't expensive things."
Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei heard the noise, stopped the car, and came over to help move things.
"Here, these are for Sister Mei, these are for Sister Hong, this is for Yimou, this is for Xiaojin, this is for Changwei, and the rest are for Second Brother." After Zhang Qiurui moved the things out of the taxi, she distributed them one by one to Li Shaohong, Hu Mei and others.
Li Shaohong, Hu Mei, Zhang Yimou and others were really moved.
Not only was Zhang Qiurui generous, he also took care of their emotions and even gave them shares in the company, which really touched them.
I wish I could die for Zhang Qiurui.
This also laid the foundation for their unbreakable relationship.
Later, some people spent a lot of money to poach Zhang Yimou, Li Shaohong and others, but they remained unshakable and stood firmly on Zhang Qiurui's side. This is a story for later.

“Today, in addition to shopping in the department store, I also went to see a movie.
I found that among Hong Kong movies, martial arts, comedy and thriller are the most popular types. It seems that Hong Kong movies have been in a slump since the death of Li Xiaolong.
"Have you thought about making a movie?" Zhang Qiurui, Li Shaohong, Hu Mei and others asked during dinner.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei, Xie Xiaojin, Hu Mei, and Li Shaohong paused in their eating and all looked at Zhang Qiurui.
They listened to Zhang Qiurui's words, which meant that he wanted them to make a movie.
Originally, they thought that among the five of them, the earliest they could shoot a movie would be next year.
"Qiu Rui, what you mean is..." Zhang Yimou said a little excitedly.
"My plan is very simple. After I finish filming the movie 'Love', I will let you try your hand at filming.
We have also accumulated filming experience. If the script is good and there is sufficient funding, we can divide ourselves into two or three groups to shoot two or three films.
Among us who study directing and photography, who doesn’t want to make a movie?
Now the question is, do you have any thoughts about your first film?
Or, you can write a script yourself, and if I think it is feasible, I will adopt your script.
If you can't write a script, you can also adapt the novel into a movie. "After Zhang Qiurui finished her last bite of rice, she put down her chopsticks and said seriously to Zhang Yimou and others.
"Qiu Rui, from what I heard from you, do you have any ideas about the movie we are shooting?" Hu Mei was more thoughtful and seemed to have sensed some clues from Zhang Qiu Rui's words, so she asked.
“Yes, I do have some initial thoughts.
Although Hong Kong films have experienced a downturn since Bruce Lee, I think this is our chance to make a name for ourselves.
I want to start with thrillers. No, not really thrillers, but ghost movies and zombie movies.
I found that this type of movie has a broad mass base in Hong Kong, appealing to men, women, young and old, especially young people, and has a huge potential market.
I have watched the zombie movies shot in Hong Kong over the years and the plots are too old-fashioned and the stories are not original.
I think we can combine Taoist priests, spells, zombie jumping, etc., and incorporate some modern elements and innovative storylines to create a work that is both fresh and scary.
In fact, zombie movies and ghost movies are not difficult to shoot. They only require tense music, unexpected plot twists, and profound psychological portrayals to enhance the film's viewing and artistic quality.
When choosing actors, we can consider some newcomers with potential, who may bring us unexpected surprises.
Now the question is, what do you think? Are you afraid of filming this type of movie? Zhang Qiurui nodded, his eyes gleaming.
She thought of Uncle Jiu, Taoist Qianhe, and Partridge.
These characters are the soul characters of classic Hong Kong films and the memories of a generation of children.
"Qiu Rui, can you write the script for us?" Li Shaohong asked with her eyes slightly shining.
"Yes, I will do it myself." Zhang Qiurui glanced at Li Shaohong and nodded.
Later on, Li Shaohong's first independent film was a horror film, so she was not opposed to shooting horror films. Otherwise, she would not have shot her first horror film and achieved great success.
"I'll take the picture. I'm not afraid." Li Shaohong was the first to agree when he heard it.
She knew Zhang Qiurui's ability to write scripts. From his first film "The Fault in Our Stars" which won him the Best Director Award at Cannes, to the script of "Love", the quality of his work was obvious to all.
As long as Qiu Rui writes a good script, she has the confidence to make the film well.
"That's fine with me." Hu Mei thought about it and felt there was no reason to refuse.
"What about you guys? Yimou, do you want to make an art film? Win an award?" Zhang Qiurui saw Zhang Yimou's mouth moving, as if there were some words he didn't say.
Thinking about the future, Zhang Yimou had extremely high pursuit of film art, especially art films, which won numerous awards at home and abroad. His works often explored profound social and human issues.
Zhang Yimou was slightly stunned, and then a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"Yes! I want to make an art film that will win awards." Zhang Yimou nodded eagerly.
Ever since he saw Qiu Rui standing on the stage in Cannes, holding the trophy, a seed of dream was planted in Zhang Yimou's heart - he longed to stand on such a stage one day, touch people's hearts with his own films, and win the world's recognition.
