Chapter 327: The Jade Lady Leader
In order to contact Random House more conveniently, Liu Hongmin decided to go to Hong Kong. It was too expensive to make international calls in the mainland, but it was much cheaper in Hong Kong.
Li Lizhen followed with her child. Gong Li was filming in Hong Kong and she missed her son very much.
After arriving in Hong Kong and staying in the Clearwater Bay Villa, Gong Li rushed back to the villa that night and hugged her son and kissed him again and again.
When in Beijing, Gong Li had to avoid suspicion. When there were outsiders, she could only stay in her own yard. Moreover, Liu's father and mother had some misunderstandings about her and did not like her very much.
Gong Li didn't want to fight for anything, she just wanted to be with Liu Hongmin. But in Beijing, even this simple wish of hers couldn't be fulfilled, so she couldn't wait to go out and act.
However, there were no good scripts in Beijing, and she didn't want to be away from home for several months at a time, after all, her child was still young. So, she took on some supporting roles, and the filming location was near Beijing, which could be completed in a few days or ten days.
This time she came to Hong Kong in advance to participate in the filming of Source Code 4. Liu Hongmin arranged a role for her in Source Code 4, a nurse in the peacekeeping force who rescued people in a chaotic neighborhood.
There are not many shots, but they are all highlight shots. As long as she performs well, more people can remember Gong Li.
Although Gong Li is already very famous, relying on the resources of Tomorrow Films, she is already a first-class actress in Hong Kong. In the mainland, her fame is not small. With the title of Hong Kong actress, she can be compared with the first-class actresses in the mainland.
Li Lizhen took Liu Guodong away and winked at her, "Leave the child to me tonight."
Gong Li turned her head to look at Liu Hongmin and smiled shyly.
When Li Lizhen walked out, she bumped into Liu Hongmin.
Liu Hongmin grinned, a little embarrassed. However, after Li Lizhen left, he immediately walked towards Gong Li.
The next morning, Li Lizhen teased the two of them.
"By the way, I asked Brother Wei, Brother Xiaoming, and the sisters-in-law of Lao Zou to come over for a party tonight."
Liu Hongmin smiled and said, "Why? Is this a ladies' club tonight?"
"Do you want to participate too?" Li Lizhen asked with a smile.
"Can't you join us?" Liu Hongmin said, "I want to invite Old Zou and the others to have a family gathering."
"Of course!" Li Lizhen said, "You come and call the people, and I'll make the arrangements."
Liu Hongmin nodded, and then called Zou Shifang, Wang Yaowei, Xu Xiaoming and others. Xu Xiaoming was filming Source Code 4 and had no time to come, but Mai Zishan and Yang Guiren had nothing to do and planned to come and join in the fun.
Gong Li and Li Lizhen were preparing for a family gathering in the evening. Before it got dark, Zou Shifang came with his wife and children. Zou Shifang's wife also brought Zhou Huimin with her. Gong Li was a little surprised to see Zhou Huimin, "Huimin, you are not in the crew?"
Zhou Huimin said: "I didn't have any filming plans these two days, but when I heard my sister-in-law said there was a party, I shamelessly followed her."
Zou Shifang's wife explained: "She has been very upset these past two days! There is a second generation guy who is chasing her like crazy. Whether it is the company or the crew, she is so annoyed."
Li Lizhen frowned, "Who is it? How dare you come to the company to make trouble?"
"It's that kid from the Ni family. He relies on his talent to flirt with other girls everywhere. He even wants to pursue our Hui Min. He can only dream about it!"
Li Lizhen looked at Liu Hongmin, "The Ni family is very powerful?"
Liu Hongmin laughed, "It's just a few writers!" He looked at Zou Shifang, "What's wrong with the company's security?"
Zou Shifang spread his hands, "He made an excuse, saying he was going to discuss something, and went to find Huimin when he entered the company. We can't just throw him out, right?"
"Then throw him out!" Liu Hongmin sneered, "Put him on the company's blacklist and never cooperate with him again. He uses the guise of cooperation to pick up girls, what does he think of our company?"
Zou Shifang nodded, walked to the sofa, picked up the phone and called the company's security department.
"The big boss has said that he will not allow the guy named Ni to enter the company anymore. The reason is that he has lied about cooperation many times, but ended up entering the company to harass our female employees."
The security department had long disliked the second generation of the Ni family, and laughed happily when they received the order.
"Okay, Mr. Zou, we know what to do!"
After hanging up the phone, Zou Shifang said with a smile: "Hui Min, you won't see that guy in the company anymore."
Zhou Huimin smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu."
Liu Hongmin waved his hand and said, "At home, just call me brother."
Then, without waiting for Zhou Huimin to continue thanking him, he said to Zou Shifang, "When will Brother Wei and the others come?"
"It's almost there! We left the company together, and his home is quite far away. We should be there in ten minutes or so."
"Let's play the next game first!"
The two of them went to play chess while talking. Zhou Huimin was speechless as she looked at their backs. She hadn't even finished her words of thanks!
Zhou Huimin has developed very well in the past two years. She is popular with the audience because of her beauty and sweet voice. Moreover, Zhou Huimin also appears pure on the screen, and has never been excessive, so she is called the leader of the jade girls by the media.
After this title became popular, it immediately attracted the attention of many wealthy people and second-generations. Some people really want to marry Zhou Huimin, after all, there are almost no female stars as clean as Zhou Huimin in the entertainment industry. Some people just want to have fun to satisfy their own bad taste.
Zhou Huimin rejected many people, and some gave up. After all, they would not offend Liu Hongmin because of a woman.
Only the second generation of the Ni family did not take Liu Hongmin seriously. His father was a veteran writer who lived in Hong Kong and looked down on mainlanders. When Liu Hongmin published his novel in Ming Pao, Old Ni was very dissatisfied.
After Liu Hongmin's novels performed better than his, Lao Ni became even more dissatisfied. He found Mr. Jin Yong and threatened that if Ming Pao serialized Liu Hongmin's novels, he would go to other newspapers. He did not just talk, but really did it. He went to other newspapers and only returned to Ming Pao after Liu Hongmin stopped serializing his novels in Ming Pao.
After being influenced by Old Ni, how could Little Ni take Liu Hongmin seriously?
But this time he hit a wall. As soon as Liu Hongmin said so, Mingtian Film Company immediately put Xiao Ni on the blacklist. When Xiao Ni came to the door the next day, he was directly turned away.
Xiao Ni wanted to cheat and insisted on rushing into the company, but he was picked up by the security personnel and thrown directly onto the street.
There were reporters squatting outside the Tomorrow Film Company all the time. In less than an hour, the news that Xiao Ni was thrown out by the Tomorrow Film Company spread throughout Hong Kong.
Old Ni was very angry about this, but he and Liu Hongmin had no connection, so he could only denounce the excessive behavior of Tomorrow Film Company in the newspaper.
Wang Yaowei was not a pushover either. He responded directly in the newspaper, saying that Xiao Ni lied about cooperation and entered the company to harass female employees. The two sides fought in the media for half a month, and the more they fought, the worse Xiao Ni's reputation became. This guy has too much black material, and his personality is flamboyant and he doesn't shy away from people. The Hong Kong media has already reported it.
Now, these old news were brought out to make a fresh start, which still boosted newspaper sales. As a result, more and more Hong Kong media joined in publishing negative information about Xiao Ni, and for a while Xiao Ni became a target of criticism in Hong Kong.
