Chapter 30: Chasing the Dream of Showbiz



"Jinxing Film Investment Co., Ltd. is your current investor, but I know that this company was established recently and its qualifications are far inferior to Golden Harvest." Chen Sisi raised her foot and tapped the ground with the heel of her high heels.

"Indeed, but fortunately the sponsor is quite generous."

"Really? It would be much more convenient if you have money. If you join us, you will get full support, considering your talent."

"I don't want to consider joining any film company yet. What's the matter? Are you sent by the Great Wall to seduce me?"

"Me? Do you think it looks like me?" Chen Sisi asked back.

"I hope so." Wu Changyun replied with a smile.

There was a knock on the door. Chen Sisi subconsciously stood up and leaned towards the wardrobe. Sammo Hung poked his head out of the door and saw Wu Changyun inside. He walked in and waved, "Where have you been? I have a dinner party soon. Do you want to come? Everyone here is a big shot in the industry, with plenty of resources."

Wu Changyun nodded and was about to go forward to stop Sammo Hung from going any further inside, but then Chen Sisi showed his face from the side and whispered, "Azhi, it was you who reported him, wasn't it?"

"Ah? It's not me." Zhao Yazhi, who was only 19 years old, hid behind Sammo Hung and shook her head.

"Who is this?" Wu Changyun was a little curious. This little girl who looked as delicate as a doll could have a good relationship with Sammo Hung and Chen Sisi.

"She is a rising star of this year's pageant, just like you. Although she is young, she almost won the Miss Hong Kong title this year." Chen Sisi replied.

"This must be Brother Wu Changyun, I saw your movie, it was awesome!" Zhao Yazhi gave Wu Changyun a thumbs up.

"Little girl, you usually walk so close to me, but now you follow behind Brother Jinbao."

"Sister, I'm not looking for you."

Zhao Yazhi answered with a smile, exuding the feeling of a young girl who had just entered the society, as if these big names in the film industry in front of her were all big brothers and big sisters in her eyes.

Wu Changyun accompanied the others to the cocktail party. Besides the three well-known giants of Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, and Great Wall, there were also many forces Wu Changyun hadn't previously known. Wu Changyun also had the good fortune to meet Wong Pak-ming, who worked at a television station, and the two of them exchanged many interesting ideas. The cocktail party lasted until after ten o'clock, and the tables were still full of drunken gurus. Although Wu Changyun hadn't drunk much, he pretended to be drunk.

Wu Changyun politely declined everyone's pleas to stay and took the tram home. If he was any later, he would miss the last bus. He had received a large film salary today, and in this glamorous city of Hong Kong, money can change many things. On this journey home, Wu Changyun wanted to continue his usual habit and not take a taxi.

It was already past eleven o'clock when they arrived at the community. Seeing the lights on in the windows on the first floor, Wu Changyun guessed that Fushun was still waiting for him.

He had just climbed onto the first-floor platform when he saw Wen Jing's small, delicate face at the corner. She had bangs and dark eye makeup, staring at him intently. This scene was really creepy.

Wu Changyun walked past her, and the other person's eyes were fixed on him. Wu Changyun couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

"I didn't expect it was really you. This is you." Wen Jing held up a corner of a portrait torn from a poster. It was the one with Wu Changyun's face on the poster of "New Wusheng".

"Uh, not me."

Wu Changyun left quickly. He had long felt that there was something wrong with this girl.

"Wait, it's you. Judging by your reaction, I'm sure."

Wen Jing grabbed Wu Changyun and stopped him from going back to the house because she knew Fu Shun was waiting there.

"What do you think of me?"

"What? How are you? Don't act like a hooligan, or I'll call the police to arrest you."

Wu Changyun struggled to escape from the other party, and Wen Jing held his arm tightly, and they argued for a while. Thinking of the 800,000 Hong Kong dollars in cash under the bed in the room, Wu Changyun felt his head buzzing. Could this guy be stalling for time?

“Get out of the way!”

"What's wrong with me? Is it that I'm not good-looking or my figure is not as good as the girl next to you." Wen Jing asked angrily.

It was the first time that Wu Changyun had seen such a snobbish woman, but in terms of appearance and figure, apart from Wen Jing's height of only 163 cm, her facial features were also very delicate, with the right curvy parts being curvy and the right thin parts being thin.

"I like you, can I be your girlfriend?"

"Give it away for free?" Wu Changyun complained in his heart. For now, he could only lock Wen Jing outside. Coincidentally, when he closed the door, the old lady was there too. She turned away with some embarrassment and didn't look at Wu Changyun. Wu Changyun returned to the room and quickly felt under the bed. When he opened the suitcase, the cash was still there.

"Fuck, you hid so much money at home? Where did it come from?" Fushun said while brushing his teeth with a mouth full of toothpaste foam.

"Movie pay."

"What? All this money?"

"There's also a check for three million." Wu Changyun pointed to his arms.

"Our buddies are taking off. Am I dreaming?" Fushun put his face into the suitcase and breathed the air inside.

The old lady knocked on the door. Wu Changyun closed the door and stepped out to ask, "What's wrong, grandma?"

"Don't be surprised by what happened to Wenjing. That girl was unlucky. She had to deal with my son. My son Wenhua is a gambler and he is not ambitious. It has brought her so much suffering." The old lady became more and more sad as she spoke, and she even seemed to be unable to stand steadily.

Judging from the old lady's age, Wenhua should be Wenjing's father. At this time, Wenjing, who was leaning against the door and eavesdropping, shouted: "Old woman, you don't need to pity me. It was you who always refused to let Mom get a divorce. You are the one who caused all this. Now you are eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures. What were you doing before?"

Wen Jing smashed the glass with a rock outside and then disappeared. This community was kind to Wu Changyun, and the old lady took good care of them, often cooking for them. For this reason alone, Wu Changyun should do something for her.

"The last time I heard, Wenjing's mother seemed to be in the hospital."

"Yes, her mother couldn't bear the blow." The old lady wiped the tears from her face.

Wu Changyun asked about the hospital where Wen Jing's mother was staying. The next morning, he and Fu Shun went straight to the hospital to settle Wen Jing's mother's medical expenses. Then Wu Changyun called out Zhou Huiting. The girl was still wearing the same simple white dress, and she always had a silly smile on her face every time they met.

"We haven't been in touch for so long. I thought you'd lose interest in me now that you've become famous."

"Well said." Wu Changyun smiled.

"Don't worry, Chang Yun is not that kind of person, right?" Fu Shun leaned against Wu Changyun.

Wu Changyun brought the two of them to the Ford dealership, where some of the best-selling models were on display. The dealership clerk came over enthusiastically. Wu Changyun did not stay here for long and went straight to a Ford bridge car on display at the back. This was the original version of the Ford Falcon GT series. It was an extremely domineering model. The sports car with a fourth gear speed of over 7,500 rpm was not only a performance beast, but also extremely collectible.
