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

Chapter 69 The older I get, the more I look like a child
"Old guy Luo Wei, he looks so angry right now. It makes me upset just to see him."

At this moment, Chenglong sat in front of Wang Xu and spoke freely.

Wang Xu lay weakly on the hospital bed, his face pale, and listened carefully to Chenglong's words.

At that time, Chenglong signed an eight-year long-term contract with Luo Wei, and received only a fixed monthly salary of 3000 yuan. Wang Xu also supported it.

Wang Xu also believed that Director Luo Wei had succeeded in bringing out kung fu superstar Bruce Lee, and with his influence, Cheng Long could become famous quickly.

Who knew that after three consecutive years of filming Kung Fu movies, all of them were at a loss.

Even the martial arts film co-produced by Wang Xu and Cheng Long could not attract Cheng Long as his teammate.

This time, although Luo Wei ambitiously started filming "The Boxer", he also promised that if the movie became a box office hit, Chenglong could get 50.

But judging from the current box office and audience reputation trends, there is little hope.

"Now I know what the problem is!" Chenglong gritted his teeth.

"Luo Wei is old, his thinking is aging, and he has long been abandoned by the market."

"And he himself still relies on his old age to act like he is old, and he is self-righteous."

Wang Xu nodded and said: "That's true. The market is changing so fast now that even Luo Wei's generation can no longer adapt."

"You see, my master Zhang Che, who was once so awesome, has now retreated to Treasure Island to run Longbow Pictures."

"Two great directors, Zhang Xinyan and Chu Yuan, have also seen their box office plummet, and they are no longer as brave as they once were."

"To put it bluntly, this generation is getting older and the market has completely changed."

Chenglong frowned and said angrily: "What makes me most angry is that Luo Wei secretly changed the contract himself!"

"Change the contract?" Wang Xu was stunned.

"Luo Wei added a zero to the number of liquidated damages, and 100 million has become 1000 million. Do you think it's out of the question?"

Chenglong gritted his teeth with hatred when he talked about this.

"Is there such a thing?" Wang Xu couldn't help laughing.

"This Luo Wei is really getting older and more like a child, nonsense!"

He laughed louder and louder, until he touched the wound on his back and stopped.

Chenglong asked: "Brother, stop laughing. What do you think I should do now? I'm so upset."

Wang Xu pondered for a moment and said, "I'll give you two suggestions."

"That morning you called me and told me that Chen Fei was the one who took Qingxia away. I later had a fight with him."

Chenglong nodded and said, "Well, I know about this. It was on the TV news."

Wang Xu said: "This person is very good, with good character and ability. I suggest you find him to cooperate."

Chenglong smiled bitterly and said, "But the two of us just had a movie opposite each other."

"Chen Fei is an open-minded person. When I am discharged from the hospital, I can introduce you to each other."

Wang Xu continued: "The second suggestion is for Luo Wei's contract. I suggest you learn from what I did back then."

At that time, Wang Xu sneaked into the Shaw Brothers archives in the middle of the night and burned all 120 actor contracts in a fire, in exchange for his free agency, and transferred to Golden Harvest.

Chenglong has always admired this courage.

"Brother suggested that I burn the contract like you did?" Chenglong looked into Wang Xu's eyes with burning eyes.

Wang Xu nodded slowly: "To deal with gangsterism, we must use extraordinary measures."

"Okay!" Chenglong pursed his lips.

His expression became more and more determined, and his eyes shone like iron.

……

Chen Fei returned home happily from Ni Kuang's house.

This time I was completely happy.

The four of them drank from afternoon to evening and drank up all the wine in Ni Kuang's house.Gu Long and Ni Kuang were also very drunk and fell asleep.

After settling them, Chen Fei went downstairs alone and took a taxi home.

I returned to the nearby house in Causeway Bay where my parents lived.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Chen's father and Chen's mother had just moved to a new house and were watching TV series in the living room with great interest.

The two old men were obviously very happy when they saw Chen Fei coming in.

"Oh, you smell like alcohol." Chen's mother covered her nose and frowned.

"Are you going to socialize with your friends again? You should drink less alcohol from now on."

Although he said disgusting words, he actually felt very happy to see his son come home.

"It's okay. I just had two drinks with Gu Long Ni Kuang. Don't worry." Chen Fei sat down on the sofa.

He took off his designer suit and unbuttoned two shirt buttons to get some air.

Mother Chen asked with concern: "A Fei, have you eaten? I'll get you a bowl of soup."

Chen Fei drank for a long time, and his stomach was indeed a little empty, so he responded: "No, I will go to the kitchen to fill the soup myself."

When he stood up, he asked again: "Mom, why is the floor so clean today? Did you mop it yourself?"

"You are not in good health. Don't be so tired. Just wait until I hire a nanny in the next two days and let her do the heavy work."

Mother Chen shook her head and said, "I didn't mop the floor."

Chen Fei had already reached the kitchen door when he suddenly heard the sound of running water and washing coming from inside.

"Is there anyone else in the kitchen?" Chen Fei was stunned.

"Isn't it the fat guy from Chen Guang who comes here to help with the meal? Is this guy so good at washing dishes?"

While muttering to himself, he reached out and opened the sliding door of the kitchen.

It happened that the people in the kitchen also walked to the door and stretched out their hands to open the door.

Without any precautions, the two of them suddenly came face to face, and the man was so frightened that he screamed.

Chen Fei took a closer look and said in surprise: "Sister Cui'er, why are you here?"

There is water in the sink in the kitchen, and the people in the kitchen are washing the dishes and chopsticks.

It turned out to be Ye Cui'er, the daughter of Lao Ye from the Cui Fong Yuen tea restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui.

"Brother Chenfei, you scared me to death, scared me to death."

Ye Cuier's face turned red, like a plump and juicy red apple.

He kept patting his chest with his hands and panting.

It turned out that she was afraid of disturbing the two old people, so she closed the kitchen door and put water inside to wash the dishes. The water was so noisy that she couldn't hear Chen Fei coming home and entering.

Chen's mother and Chen's father heard the two people screaming and hurried over.

"Silly girl, are you scared?" Chen's mother showed a loving smile to Ye Cuier and asked with concern.

Chen's father explained to Chen Fei: "Tonight, Cui'er helped us cook and make soup. After dinner, she scrubbed the whole house and helped wash the dishes. It was so hard for her."

Chen Fei smiled and said to Ye Cui'er: "Thank you sister! I'm sorry to scare you."

Ye Cuier blushed and stuck out her tongue.

It turned out that this evening, Chen's father and Chen's mother went to the wet market near their new home to buy vegetables, and happened to meet Ye Cui'er who was shopping in Causeway Bay.

Ye Cuier recognized Father Chen from afar and happily ran over to say hello.

Knowing that the new house Chen Fei bought was nearby, he immediately took the initiative and enthusiastically helped the two old people carry meat and vegetables.

We returned to Mama Chen’s new home together.
