Chapter 292: A Bullet, a Contract, and an Industry (Part II)
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass!
Black Camry slowly stopped at the Chinese restaurant of Hotel Nikko Tsim Sha Tsui East.
Wu Xiaozu, Luo Dong, and Su Liyao squeezed down from the back row, and then watched Fat Cheng walk down from the front row with a grin.
Science has proved that the biggest advantage of the fat house is that you can sit in the front row in the car, and at the same time, no one will scold you for being ugly in the first sentence, but will only scold you for being fat first!
"Boss, Sir Wu is here. The ponytail man dodged away and let go of Wu Xiaozu and his party.
"Director Wuβ"
The man turned around and showed a smile like a spring breeze, "Contemptible Cai Zhiming, I have heard Director Wu's name from the Netherlands.
During this time, I had just returned to Hong Kong, and I happened to be very interested in movies and founded a film company. Today, I am overjoyed and have to abruptly invite Director Wu to have a supper together, I hope you don't blame it. β
"Boss Cai is polite. β
Wu Xiaozu smiled and looked at the man with a capable face in front of him, "Boss Cai asked me to come just for supper, right?"
"No way, Director Wu, your reputation is too great, I asked someone to hand you a drama contract, but you refused. All, I can only hand over the script in person-" Cai Zhiming looked directly at Wu Xiaozu and handed over the brown paper bag in his hand.
Rodon reached for it.
The brown paper bag in Cai Zhiming's hand was dodged to the side, with a smile, and he shook his head slightly, "NONONO-that's not how things go. β
The pony-tailed man stepped forward and blocked Luo Dong. In the dining room, three or four dark-skinned men and two tall stood up at the moment of brushing, and their eyes were full of wild and untamable lean men and two tall.
"Thai?" Fei Cheng squinted his eyes and his lips did not move in a soft reminder.
Luo Dong's cold face did not change at all, and his feet moved back and forth slightly, making a defensive gesture.
"Director Wu?
The corners of Cai Zhiming's mouth were crooked, his hand was handed to Wu Xiaozu, and he raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Wu Xiaozu pressed Luo Dong's arm with his hand, and reached out to take the brown paper bag with a smile.
"A good show. β
Cai Zhiming said with a smile: "Boss Wu might as well take a closer look at the script." β
"Dang Changβ"
A yellow bullet suddenly fell from the brown paper bag, and a play contract and a cheque with a denomination of 2 million Hong Kong dollars floated out.
"I know Director Wu, you have a brother who has been kidnapped-"
Cai Zhiming glanced at Fei Cheng with a smile and continued: "It's a coincidence or not, I happen to know some inside stories. Think about it, there is a bad guy named Qian Jiahao, as well as the Number Gang, Lianle Tang, and Miss Di's husband, Fourth Brother Xie...... People can play several tables of mahjong. β
looked at Ma Tsai on the left and right, "My friends are very angry on Hong Kong Island, if Director Wu, you are willing to make me a friend." I thoughtβ"
Cai Zhiming rolled up his sleeves and showed his white teeth, "Your kidnapped guy may be able to catch up with us for supper."
What does he like to eat, why don't you let the kitchen prepare it for him first?"
Wu Xiaozu didn't like Cai Zhiming in front of him very much.
Because he is too pretending to be B, and he is too rough in his work, he is completely in the posture of crossing the river and poisoning the dragon, this kind of person is called a fearless river crossing raptor, and if it is not good, it is an unscrupulous outlaw.
The evil spirit of these Thais around him is definitely not comparable to those old boys on Hong Kong Island. Coupled with his Dutch background, there is no need to guess that it is the poisonous demolition of the Dutch side.
This kind of person, Wu Xiaozu, an honest and pure person, doesn't want to deal with him very much.
But the problem, bullets and checks, it's not easy to take!
With the other party's unscrupulous appearance, Wu Xiaozu was not surprised that the other party would put a gun to his head to make his own decisions.
This kind of person doesn't follow the rules!
Wu Xiaozu sneered bitterly, isn't his golden finger "doing things"? These cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods are all. Is it really because he was born with a crazy boy personality?
Even if you change your life against the sky, you still can't avoid dealing with these street fights?
Wu Xiaozu didn't know that in fact, even without him, the Hong Kong island entertainment industry in the 80s and 90s would still be invaded by underworld groups.
In the future generations, the Dutch demolition family in front of him used a gun to hire someone to film, the script caught bullets, and kidnapped for ransom was simply infuriating.
Counting the Hong Kong Island filmmakers who came over from the 80s and 90s, which one has not been threatened by the triad group?
If you don't report it, it doesn't mean that it didn't happen, Uncle Long was charged protection money for bringing a crew from Hollywood to film, you can imagine how erosive and dark the entertainment industry was at that time.
Long DuangDuang, Tata and others called on the guild of interpreters to be more necessary! You can scold them for selling their reputations, but you must look at the distinction between private morality and public morality.
Maybe they are for money, fame, and for one reason or another, but they have always brought a little freshness and change to the entertainment industry.
Sometimes, the process and purpose are really not very important, but the result.
Isn't it a good deed that I donated money to help others for the sake of fame?
Sometimes, this is more benevolent than those who recite Amitabha in their hearts, scold others for selling fame and reputation, and knock on the bar on the keyboard, but don't donate a penny!
Love is not spoken, it is done!
"Boss Cai, the business you have made is so big, I'm afraid I won't be able to play it. β
Wu Xiaozu smiled helplessly and looked directly at Cai Zhiming, "I have a meager ability, I'm afraid I can't wash this pool of water, how much money ...... it?"
What is the purpose of the other party's film? Fools know it!
"Rest assured, I'm really optimistic about the film market on Hong Kong Island. Cai Zhiming said untrue and untrue.
However, Wu Xiaozu didn't want to listen to it untruthfully.
He glanced at Fei Cheng, Luo Dong and Su Liyao, his eyes were forbearing, and his eyes rolled, "Boss Cai, in fact, I have a profitable business." β
"Oh??"
"The film market is growing very fast these days. The British government in Hong Kong was forced to have no choice but to promulgate a trial draft of film classification, I believe Boss Cai, you won't know it, right?" Wu Xiaozu asked with a smile.
"Before Hong Kong films, the electrical inspection office has always been the grass on the wall, and when the little devil was back then, the Hong Kong British government naturally faced each other.
In the 50s, leftist workers gathered because of the fire in Tung Tau Village, Kowloon, which allowed the British government in Hong Kong to seize the opportunity, and the electrical inspection department became more and more strict, and leftist filmmakers were constantly expelled.
And because of the avoidance of suspicion in the north, Hong Kong Island films began the melody of 'market first, political risk avoidance'. β
Watching Cai Zhiming listen, Wu Xiaozu continued.
"...... '67"
Wu Xiaozu paused and mentioned vaguely, "In order to divert the hormones of young people, the British government in Hong Kong has 'tied' more young people to the theater and relaxed the censorship......
Li Hanxiang, who was good at stripping people's shirts at that time, also started his Fengyue film. And this trend is getting heavier and heavier. β
What Wu Xiaozu said was indeed the truth at that time. At that time, Fengyue films could not satisfy the audience's curiosity, and even many heavy-tasting movies appeared.
Li Hanxiang shouted out, "Mao opera, Mao opera, Mao is only liked by the audience." Lewd words. (Not to mention that the 111-level film is not forced, Director Li's works will definitely make you realize after watching it that you understand the beauty of women!)
"Fengyue films have always been a popular genre on Hong Kong Island. Now that there is a ...... in the movie classification," Wu Xiaozu smiled lightly and said no more.
Cai Zhiming's eyes lit up.
