Rebirth of Hong Kong Island: The Kung Fu Movie King's Extra Practice

Chapter 34 No, no, not Zhao Yazhi

Luo Wei stretched out his hand and motioned Chenglong to sit down.

He gently picked up the cigar placed on the ashtray on the coffee table and took two hissing puffs.

As the dark red cigarette butt burned slightly, Luo Wei blew out a large smoke ring and suppressed his anger.

His eyes stared at Chenglong through the diffuse smoke.

Like a cunning hunter watching his hound.

"Are you angry that you can't make any money here?"

Cheng Long was taken aback, and quickly shook his head in denial: "No way, no way, Master Luo, where did you go?"

Chenglong signed an eight-year contract under Luo Wei, with a monthly fixed salary of only 3000 yuan.

The purpose is to rely on the influence of director Luo Wei, who promoted the superstar Bruce Lee, so that he can become famous quickly.

Who knew that after shooting three or four kung fu movies in a row, all of them lost money and became a well-known box office poison in the circle.

Whether Chenglong has any resentment in his heart, a person like Luo Wei will naturally know it clearly.

But in fact, Luo Wei's resentment was even greater than Chenglong's.

Let me ask, who wouldn’t have a headache if he raised a loser with real money?
Luo Wei continued to ask reluctantly.

"Do you think that snake-shaped villains seem to be popular now, but someone like me has delayed your fortune?"

The burning arrogance in his eyes made Chenglong panic.

"No, no, no." Chenglong quickly shook his head and waved his hands: "I believe Mr. Luo, you have your own arrangements."

Chenglong's contract is in Luo Wei's hands and there is still some time before it expires, so there is nothing he can do if Luo Wei doesn't let him go to film "Drunken Master".

Even if you really have some ideas, you don't dare to say anything, otherwise you will offend Luo Wei and your personal reputation in the entire Hong Kong film industry will probably collapse.

Luo Wei felt that his power now had some effect, and nodded with satisfaction.

"I will give you a chance to make a fortune right now."

"We will start shooting a kung fu movie soon, and you will star in it."

"Just think of it as a birthday gift from the company!"

"Really, such a good thing?" Chenglong smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Luo!"

Luo Wei smiled slightly, and waved his hand to the well-dressed young man beside him.

"The person you want to thank is here."

He introduced in a solemn tone: "This is Mr. Lin from the Lin family of the top ten richest people in Xiangjiang!"

Mr. Lin turned his face sideways, looked at Luo Wei, shook his head and stretched out four fingers.

Luo Wei raised his eyebrows, and quickly changed his words: "Yes, the four richest people in Xiangjiang! Four!"

Mr. Lin nodded in satisfaction, with a smug look on his face.

"Master Lin invested 100 million to create this new movie." Luo Wei added.

At that time, there was a budget of 60 million yuan, which was able to make decent movies. This budget was regarded as a boutique level.

Mr. Lin said calmly: "Money and other things are just small things. If it is not enough, you can invest more."

"But this is my first time investing in a movie, and the box office will definitely be a hit!"

Mr. Lin pointed at Chenglong's big nose and said word by word:

"As long as the box office of this movie can exceed 300 million, I will give you Chenglong 50."

When Chenglong heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.

What Luo Wei just said is right, it is indeed a good opportunity to make a fortune!

Luo Wei laughed loudly: "Snake-shaped Trickster only has a box office of 270 million. Wu Siyuan is so proud that his tail is raised to the sky."

"As long as you surpass them, everything will be easy!"

Chenglong clapped his hands and said, "Okay, overtake them!"

Luo Wei said: "Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping are not the only ones who can make Kung Fu comedies. We can do them too."

"We will make a story about a boxing spirit, add more funny colors of gods and monsters, and make him bigger." Chenglong agreed, "Yes, Mr. Luo's idea is good."

He blinked: "Of course we can also add some beauty scenes, for example, invite someone like Zhao Yazhi to join the show. Nowadays the audience likes to see it."

As soon as Mr. Lin heard the name Zhao Yazhi, his expression immediately changed.

The image of that early morning reappeared in his mind. He prepared carefully early in the morning and went to Shaw Brothers Studios to make an appointment with Zhao Yazhi.

As soon as the door was opened, a young man came out of the room!
The good cabbage was eaten by the pig first?
Mr. Lin was so angry that he felt like his lungs were being cut with a knife.

Later, Mr. Lin inquired and found out that the man was from the crew of "Drunken Master".

It just so happens that I had the idea of ​​investing in a movie, so why not just make a blockbuster movie to defeat them and let out a sigh of relief!
However, Mr. Lin said that he would not take the cabbage that the pig had passed over.

"No, no, we don't want Zhao Yazhi, let's look for a better beauty." Mr. Lin flatly refused.

Luo Wei also shook his head: "No, we don't even need beautiful women. The right way is to save this money and do more special effects."

Mr. Lin nodded: "Alright, the details of filming are all at the discretion of Director Luo, and I will not interfere."

Chenglong was a little disappointed when he heard that there were no beauties.

But when he thought of the 50 bonus, his face lit up with excitement.

Luo Wei said: "Don't worry, I have arranged for someone to write the script today and it will be out in three days."

"We'll strike while the iron is hot. We'll finish filming it in a month and directly compete with Wu Siyuan's drunken brawl scene!"

He clenched his fist, brow confidently.

"Okay, happy!" Mr. Lin laughed.

……

Shaw Brothers Studios, the set of "Drunken Master".

"How, how did the filming go?"

Yuan Heping got behind the camera and carefully watched the clip of the competition between Chen Fei and Lin Zhengying just now.

The photographer adjusted his glasses and sounded apologetic.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ba, the action just now was too fast, and all the afterimages were left in the photo..."

"Alas..." Yuan Heping said, "It's okay. It's not your fault, nor is it the camera's fault. The three of us are really too strong."

The photographer said: "I'll try to slow down the playback speed, maybe it will be better."

Chen Fei reached out to help Lin Zhengying and Yuan Hua, who were sitting on the ground panting.

Unexpectedly, he was thrown away by two people.

At this time, Wu Siyuan came over with a smile and said to Lin Zhengying and Yuan Hua: "All three of them are amazing, so wonderful!"

"Chen Fei, you are young and strong, so you have an advantage." He quickly found a step for the two of them to get off.

"You must know that when two masters A Ying and Yuan Hua were making movies with Bruce Lee, you were still playing in the mud."

Chen Fei said sincerely: "Yes, yes."

Yuan Hua rolled her eyes and was about to speak when she suddenly heard Hong Jinbao's hearty voice from beside her.

"Hahaha, Chen Fei is indeed very skilled, Si Yuan and Ba Ye, you are indeed very discerning."

It turned out that Hong Jinbao had slowly walked to the center of the field.

He has handsome features and a clear expression, and looks very approachable.

But as soon as these words came out, the expressions of Lin Zhengying and Yuan Hua became even more gloomy.

"Sanmao, you are also a knowledgeable person." Wu Siyuan turned around and saw Hong Jinbao and laughed.

Chen Fei smiled modestly and said, "I don't dare to take it seriously. Big brother has given me the reward."

However, Hong Jinbao tilted his head and said loudly: "However, somersaults and the like are just basic skills and not worth mentioning."

"How about you and I have a fight?"
