Chapter XXXVII: A New Mission
As night falls, the streets of Xiangjiang are filled with cars and crowds, and a less conspicuous food stall sits around the corner of the brightly lit street.
It was just night, the business of the food stalls had not yet begun, only a sporadic table of guests was eating and drinking, and in the center of the canopy, there was a big TV, which was replaying the football match of Serie A, and Wang Zheng, Liang Chaowei, Zhou Xingchi and Da Fei were sitting at the table next to them, and they did not put their minds on the wonderful football game, and the four of them were concentrating on dealing with the delicious seafood on the table.
Since the start of filming of the ghost blowing lantern movie, the four of them have not had a private gathering for half a year, and today Wang Zheng specially invited everyone to come here, one is for everyone to get together privately, and the other is to discuss something with a few people.
Seeing that several people had almost eaten, Wang Zheng picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth, took out three envelopes from his pocket and handed them to the three of them:
"Ah Xing, Ah Wei, and Brother Fei, you have been busy with me in making movies for half a year, and you have suffered a lot, this 100,000 check is what I took out from my own dividends, don't be idle, don't be idle, I know that the Shaw Brothers give you a salary of only a few thousand yuan per person, but my dividends are a lot, I can't make money alone, but you only get your salary. β
Distribute 100,000 yuan per person, Wang Zheng is also a deliberate decision, give less can not show their sincerity, give more may make them misunderstand that it is their own charity, 100,000 Hong Kong dollars in this era is not much, but it is also a lot, everything involves money matters, will involve conflicts of interest, there are too many examples of future generations for money against the purpose, so Wang Zheng did not tell them the number of dividends he took 6 million, not to be wary of the three of them, and the world has jealousy, although Wang Zheng does not believe that the three of them will have, but for the sake of long-term friendship, it is still necessary to prevent these things from happeningγ
"Ah Zheng, what do you mean by this, do you look down on your brothers? Da Fei was a little unsettled, and felt that Wang Zheng didn't regard him as a friend.
"Yes, Ah Zheng, we can be the protagonist of the movie, and it's all your credit, how can we still receive your dividends. Stephen Chow was also a little unhappy, and Liang Chaowei, who was sitting on the side, also echoed.
Seeing that the three people were a little dissatisfied after seeing the check, Wang Zheng was a little moved in his heart, and when he got acquainted with them, there was a certain component because they would become big stars in the future, and now Wang Zheng feels sincere friendship, and he and they can be true friends and true brothers.
"Don't refuse, your salary in this movie is not high, this is not proportional to your pay, and I get a lot of shares in the movie, I can't be the only one to make money, and you only take a few thousand yuan of salary, everyone earns money together, and when you become a big star in the future, don't forget me, if you don't accept it, you just don't treat me as a friend." β
Wang Zheng finished speaking very sincerely, and finally ended in a joking way, and the three of them listened to Wang Zheng's explanation, and then their faces softened, and they were a little moved in their hearts.
"But that's too much!"
Zhou Xingchi was still a little hesitant, 100,000 yuan was a huge amount of money for his current family conditions.
"Ah Xing, you are a star now, when you finish acting in my new movie, let alone a mere 100,000 yuan, there will be a large group of producers waving large checks and asking you to film. β
Wang Zheng said with an arrogant face, to let a few people strengthen their self-confidence, no matter whether they will expand in the future, the current self-confidence is indispensable.
"Ah Zheng, are we going to make a new movie again?"
Liang Chaowei asked with a look of surprise, since he played Hu Bayi, he became a star overnight from a trick that no one could recognize, and now he has to be fully armed on the street, otherwise he will be watched, which makes him very grateful to Wang Zheng, he likes the feeling of acting as another person very much.
"Yes, there are more people in the new movie, and you will all be the protagonists. β
Wang Zheng's goal is to make a few people become big stars as soon as possible, and then the producers will not cry and shout for them to film.
"But I just signed a 5-year contract with Shaw Brothers, and the producer you said waved a check and invited us to film, and we are afraid that we will not see it in a short time. β
Da Fei felt a little regretful after speaking, and signed a contract with Shaw Brothers, so he didn't think that he could take on other film companies' films.
Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei also looked pity after listening to Da Fei's words, they all signed a 5-year long contract.
"You don't have to think about this, if you really wait until then, I will persuade Uncle Six, let's talk about the new movie. β
If you want to make the Shaw Brothers movie last for a long time, it is difficult to achieve it without a few big stars, Wang Zheng believes that Shao Tycoon will understand this simple truth.
"What type of subject is the new movie, Ah Zheng, tell me quickly!"
When the three of them heard the new movie, they didn't regret or regret it, and they couldn't wait to ask.
"Urban comedy, there are a few roles that are very suitable for you, I will sort out the script as soon as possible in the next few days, you first familiarize yourself with your respective roles, this movie is going to be released in the Chinese New Year, the time is a little tight, and the new role is also a challenge for you, if you want to become a big star as soon as possible, you can't do without enough acting skills. β
Wang Zheng knew that he was a little bit of a seedling, so he could only tell them to practice their acting skills all the time.
"Brother Fei, you will play the boss of a gang of thieves in the new drama, my requirement is that this character must have the momentum of the boss of the club, and also have a funny and funny personality. β
Wang Zheng directly explained the characters and personalities that Da Fei will play.
Da Fei looked confident after hearing this: "Don't worry, I can't guarantee if it's funny, the boss's momentum is something I was born with." β
Wang Zheng rolled his eyes at it, and then said the next role: "Ah Wei, your role is more difficult, you will play a mature and somewhat decadent man, this role is very challenging, but I have confidence in you and will control this role." β
Liang Chaowei nodded heavily after listening, there is a challenge when it is difficult, he likes this feeling.
Wang Zheng then turned his gaze to Zhou Xingchi: "Ah Xing, the role you play is a characteristic character in this play, it is very difficult for you, this character has the atmosphere of hooliganism, helplessness, gangsterism, and most importantly, it will be funny, in short, this is a charismatic role, full of possibilities, if you can play this character well, then your road to stardom will start from this role." β
"Ah Zheng, I will try. β
Although Wang Zheng said that it was very difficult, Zhou Xingchi replied very confidently, for his dream, he must play this role alive and perform all the charm of the role.
Wang Zheng saw that the three of them were all confident, and the worries and hesitations in his heart were all thrown aside, although each character in this play is full of personality and labels, but Wang Zheng no longer considers whether it is suitable or not. Give them a stage to express themselves, and maybe they will receive a different surprise.
Wang Zheng doesn't remember much of the complete script, and this play was forced to come out in desperation, whether it is good or bad can only be commented on after the performance.
