Inside the Cathedral of Our Lady---

Song Zhichao walked in alone, and Chekov followed him and helped him guide the way.

Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong were waiting outside.

When you walk in, you can see that the church is really big, grand and spectacular. At first glance, it is resplendent and has a kind of gothic weirdness.

In front of the church, a burly man, dressed in a suit and a top hat, was cordially conversing with a priest.

Chekov asked Song Zhichao to wait for a while, until the man in the suit finished talking with the priest and drew a cross on his chest, and then Chekov stepped forward and said a few words to the man very respectfully.

The burly man turned his back to Song Zhichao, so that from Song Zhichao's angle, he couldn't see what he looked like at all, but he could roughly see the outline of the side face, four words, with sharp edges and corners.

Suddenly, the burly man turned around and walked towards Song Zhichao.

Song Zhichao saw the other party's appearance clearly, it was an unusually tough Russian man, with blue eyes, brown hair, a tall Russian nose, and thick lips, but on his left cheek, there was a scar, which completely destroyed his handsomeness, but gave people an inexplicable evil aura.

This can't help but remind Song Zhichao of a very famous movie --- "Scarface". In that play, Al Pacino played a godfather-level character into three points, and the Mr. Pavlov in front of him is obviously the "godfather" in reality.

Pavlov walked up to Song Zhichao, stretched out his broad palm, and with a smile on his face that was opposite to his hideous scar, he said, "Welcome, dear Hong Kong friend. ”

Song Zhichao shook hands with him, feeling that the other party's hand was very wide and heavy.

"You already know my name, my name is Paplov. Pavlov said to Song Zhichao very kindly.

Song Zhichao said: "My surname is Song, and my name is Song Zhichao." ”

Pavlov laughed, "Actually, your Chinese names are similar to me, the pronunciation is so weird--- I'm sorry, I don't have any intention of slandering, it's just that it's really hard for me to remember your name, so why don't I call you 'Song'!"

Song Zhichao shrugged and said it didn't matter.

Pavlov was also very happy to see Song Zhichao talking so well, so he motioned to discuss things and go somewhere else.

Song Zhichao also knew that it was inappropriate to talk about business in a place like the church, so he followed Pavlov outside.

......

Square, open-air café---

The café's brightly colored flag flutters in the wind.

It's shivering cold in Moscow in the autumn--- of course, only for some people from Hong Kong.

If it weren't for the importance of business, Song Zhichao would definitely not want to talk about business in this kind of damn open-air café.

Paplov, on the other hand, seemed to be immune to the cold, and under the umbrella, crossed his legs, chewed on a cigar, drank coffee, and looked like he was enjoying himself.

Around, four or five men in black guarded Pavlov's side very dedicatedly, they were all Pavlov's bodyguards, and they were said to be very sharp, and there were also masters from the KGB. Nowadays, the country is relatively turbulent, and it is really not easy for these people to make a living.

Looking at the square again, the flow of people is very lively.

Not far away, several Russians are performing traditional Russian acrobatics, and some blonde beauties in traditional Russian costumes are selling flowers to tourists.

"You know, dear Song, among so many foreign tourists, I like you Hong Kong tourists the most. Pavlov suddenly said, "Because you Hong Kong people are very pragmatic and know how to choose the object of cooperation--- in addition, I also like your Hong Kong movies very much, I remember well, last year there was a drama that was filmed in Red Square in Moscow, what is the name......" tapped his temple with his finger: "By the way, it's called "Red Square Flying Dragon", I don't know if you have heard of it?"

Seeing that Paplov suddenly mentioned Hong Kong movies, or Song Zhichao preferred the "Flying Dragon in Red Square", Song Zhichao couldn't help laughing.

The drama "Flying Dragon in Red Square" is a kung fu film released directly in Hong Kong after being filmed here last year, that is, in 1990, starring Hong Kong action star Xu Guanjie, and his representative work is the "Best Partner" series.

Originally, Xu Guanjie filmed this drama to confront the big star Jackie Chan, because Jackie Chan was already in full swing at this time, and he had completely overpowered Xu Guanjie in terms of fame.

It's a pity that although this is a very good big production, and it came all the way to the Soviet Union to shoot, it turned out to be a box office fiasco, which also established Jackie Chan's status as a big brother in the film industry. Xu Guanjie was also absent because of this, and even his fame gradually declined, and he slowly faded out of the film industry.

After Song Zhichao told Paplov about the release of this drama in Hong Kong like a few treasures, Pavlov sighed and said: "It's a pity, I think this drama is very good, when it was filmed in Red Square, I didn't even confiscate a ruble for the handling fee, and I specially asked people to buy flowers for the beautiful lady in the play, but I didn't expect the box office to be so miserable." ”

The so-called "handling fee" is actually filming abroad and being charged "protection fee" in disguise, the most well-known of which is that Jackie Chan filmed "Red Fan Zone" in the United States, and was charged protection money by American ruffians, and then there was a conflict, which almost led to a fight.

It's the same here, everywhere has its own rules, it's not that you can shoot if you want to shoot on Red Square, you have to "confess" to a big guy like Pavlov.

But Song Zhichao's focus is not on this, but on who is the lady in that play?

If you remember correctly, the heroines of this play are Maggie Cheung, Li Zhi and Li Lizhen, and I don't know which one Paplov is talking about.

However, Song Zhichao also knows that none of this is important, what matters is what Pavlov's purpose is to use these as the opening remarks of the negotiations.

Soon, Pavlov gave Song Zhichao's answer.

"I do business just like my own, I can give you flowers if I like it, I don't charge a rouble, but if I dislike it, then you have to convince me not only to pay for the venue. After speaking, Paplov looked at Song Zhichao with sharp eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the scar on his face looked very hideous, "Then now, dear Song, you can convince me---" looked down at his watch, "It's only for you five minutes!"

Song Zhichao smiled, and in the face of the pressure given by Pavlov, he picked up the coffee cup unhurriedly, took a sip slowly, and then met Pavlov's gaze, and then said: "In less than five minutes, I will only say one word--- you will be divided!"

Pavlov, laughed.
