Run Run Shaw invited Wang Zijun to his granddaughter's birthday party, just to ease the relationship between them. Who knew that Wang Zijun, who had no roots in Hong Kong, actually took the opportunity to catch up with the ghost.

The foreigners who were invited to the party were the most powerful people in Hong Kong. Fortunately, the Hong Kong Governor left ahead of schedule because of something, otherwise with Wang Zijun's mouth, maybe even the Hong Kong Governor would have been stunned by him.

After Wang Zijun went back, he received many letters from foreign ladies the next day. Nima, these ladies are so powerful, they are simply love letters, and they are full of hot words such as admiration, inviting him to say which room is so-and-so...... If this kind of thing is known by their husbands, Wang Zijun will not have to mix in Hong Kong in the future.

It's better to go early!

However, before leaving, you have to get a few people to go, which is also one of the purposes of Wang Zijun's visit to Hong Kong.

If he wants to film "Shanghai Tang", the first thing he needs to find is Liu Dan. This person used to be filming in Taiwan's Cathay Pacific Company, and Cathay Pacific went bankrupt last year, so he followed Li Hanxiang to Hong Kong to invest in Shaw Brothers. After he entered Shaw Brothers, although he acted in several plays a year, they were all not very important roles.

Just last month, he resigned from Shaw Brothers and began working as a freelance actor, along the way with dubbing for some films.

The reason why Wang Zijun wanted to find him was because the original version of "Shanghai Tang" was played by him Feng Jingyao, the father of Feng Chengcheng, and he played an old fox on Shanghai Tang very well. A few years later, he joined TVB, and TVB has been looking for him to play Hong Qigong whenever he has filmed "Shooting the Condor" and "Condor" for decades.

Yes, it was Weng Meiling who pestered him to teach Huang Yuehua "Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon", that Hong Qigong.

Wang Zijun had seen his performance in his previous life, and this is an old actor whose acting skills are not inferior to Chow Yun-fat.

Liu Dan rented a house near the Shaw Brothers studio in Clear Water Bay at this time, and he was a little surprised that the famous Wang Zijun came to him in person, to be honest. He is now the protagonist of a not-so-famous movie a few years ago, and it can be said that he is not famous, and he will not leave until Shaw Brothers has no ambition.

"Please be seated, please be seated!" Liu Dan beckoned Wang Zijun to sit down, hurriedly packed up the clothes piled up everywhere, and then went to pour water, picked up the kettle and remembered that he hadn't boiled water for several days.

"Wang, Mr. Wang," Liu Dan said embarrassedly, "you wait first, I'll go down and get a bottle of boiling water." ”

"Don't be busy." Wang Zijun smiled, "I'm not here to drink water. ”

Liu Dan sat down awkwardly and said, "Mr. Wang's visit to the humble house is really brilliant. ”

Wang Zijun said: "I came to invite Brother Liu to participate in the filming of a TV series today. ”

"TV series?" Liu Dan was a little disappointed when he heard that it was not a movie.

Wang Zijun said with a smile: "I will shoot this TV series myself, and I believe that it will be popular throughout Southeast Asia by then." At that time, Brother Liu's name was well known. ”

Hearing that Wang Zijun personally filmed, Liu Dan was a little moved, Wang Zijun is now holding Zhao Yazhi red and purple in Hong Kong.

Wang Zijun added: "However, I asked Brother Liu to play the villain. This name, most likely, is notoriety. ”

"The villain?" Liu Dan's heart goes up and down, but as long as he can be famous, what about the villain? It's better than the way he looks now. And Liu Dan is confident in his acting skills, as long as he becomes famous, he can successfully transform by playing two more positive roles.

Liu Dan said: "Mr. Wang, can you briefly explain the plot." ”

Wang Zijun said: "The name of this TV series is "Shanghai Tang", which tells the story of two young people who become big hooligans step by step, and Brother Liu plays the underground overlord of Shanghai Tang. is also the father of the heroine, and his role in it is very heavy, and it can be said that he has surpassed the second male lead to a certain extent. ”

"The heroine's father?" Liu Dan exclaimed that he was only 28 years old this year, and he actually asked him to play the heroine's father.

"Yes." Wang Zijun said, "The age is about 40 or 50 years old, and the beard and white sideburns can be made up, but the acting requirements are very high." I have watched "Little Apple" starring Brother Liu, and I think Brother Liu is enough to take on this big responsibility. ”

"Let me think about it." Liu Dan's thoughts are rolling, remembering his various encounters in Cathay and Shaw Brothers over the years, he has only been in the entertainment industry for four years. Li Hanxiang treated him very well, only two years after graduating from the Cathay Pacific actor training class, he made him the leading actor, and later took him from Taiwan to Hong Kong Shaw Brothers, but unfortunately now Li Hanxiang himself is difficult to protect, let alone promote him.

As for Shaw Brothers, Liu Dan didn't have a good impression. Li Hanxiang's Cathay Pacific is very generous to employees, in sharp contrast to this, after arriving at Shaw Brothers, Shaw was extremely harsh on employees, which is the main reason for him to leave Shaw Brothers. This is the difference between some entrepreneurs in Taiwan and entrepreneurs in Hong Kong, in the cultural atmosphere of Taiwan, there are many Confucian businessmen.

And Wang Zijun, as the owner of a film company, was able to personally invite himself to his residence to film, which shows that he attaches great importance to himself.

Either way, it's better to try than to stay in Hong Kong and eat at home.

"Okay, I promise." Liu Dan finally nodded.

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation." Wang Zijun shook hands with him and said, "Brother Liu, see when you can finish the things in hand, and we will go back to Taiwan together." ”

Liu Dan said: "The day after tomorrow, I will complete part of the accompaniment to a play tomorrow." ”

"Okay, I'll send someone to pick you up the day after tomorrow." Wang Zijun said.

After getting Liu Dan, Wang Zijun went to find Qin Xianglin, who was playing tricks on the Hong Kong martial arts set.

Wang Zijun wanted to find Chow Yun-fat, but Fa Ge is only 17 years old this year, just dropped out of school, and his jobs range from waiter to salesman and taxi driver, where can he find it?

Liu Dan is at least an actor, and if you can find a place to live, finding Chow Yun-fat is purely looking for a needle in a haystack.

It's much better to invite Qin Xianglin than to invite Liu Dan, as soon as I heard that Wang Zijun was looking for him to film, he patted his chest and said okay without saying a word.

Before leaving Hong Kong, Wang Zijun went to Vandersen's house for a meal, and talked nonsense with him and his wife. In addition to talking about art, history and current affairs, he only made a slight gesture about the TV license.

Vandersen is also a smart person, and immediately understood that Wang Zijun was interested in the TV license, and he muttered: "At present, six entrepreneurs have come to me to inquire about the news. King Mister, you know, this is probably the last TV license in Hong Kong, and the competition is so fierce that it is impossible for a family to eat it. I suggest you find someone else to work with. ”

"That's what I thought too." Wang Zijun nodded.

"King Mister is a wise man, and he knows a little bit." Vandersen said, "You are the Chinese I admire the most since I came to the East." Wait a minute, I'll give you the contact information of those six people, and you can talk privately about which one you are interested in. That's all I can help you with. ”

"Thank you, Misterfan." Wang Zijun raised his glass and said, "Cheers to our friendship." ”

When Wang Zijun left Vandersen's house, his wife Catherine, who was fifteen years younger than Vandersen, personally sent her out of the door, gave Wang Zijun a flying kiss behind her husband's back, and said, "King Mister, you are welcome to come as a guest often." ”

Vandersen also came over and said regretfully: "It's a pity that King Mister is about to return to Taiwan." ”

Wang Zijun said: "I will come here often, because Hong Kong has two good friends. ”

Catherine happily stretched out her hand, and Wang Zijun bent down and kissed her finger before waving away.

…… Wang Zijun asked Zhang Renyong to pick up Liu Dan and leave, but when he arrived at the airport, there were two more people in the car.

"Hello Mr. Wang, I'm Cheng Gang, and this is my son Cheng Xiaodong." Cheng Gang took the initiative to greet Wang Zijun after getting out of the car.

"Hello!" Wang Zijun greeted with some confusion, "What are you?" ”

"Oh, that's right, Brother Cheng is going to Taiwan to have a look." Liu Dan hurriedly explained.

It turns out that since the final box office of "Fourteen Heroines" is 2 million, it is enough to rank in the top five of the annual box office, but it is too far from the investment of 4 million. Even if the box office in Southeast Asia and Taiwan is added, at most it will return to its original cost.

Cheng Gang, the director, was unsurprisingly beaten into the cold palace by Run Run Shaw.

The disheartened Cheng Gang was reluctant to join Shaw's rival Golden Harvest because Run Run Shaw had promoted him in the past.

Yesterday, when Liu Dan went to dub the movie, he happened to meet Cheng Gang. The two are also familiar with each other, and Liu Dan mentioned his trip to Taiwan by the way, which made Cheng Gang's heart move.

Since Run Run Shaw invited Wang Zijun to his party, the enmity between the two can be regarded as resolved, and he has nothing to do in Hong Kong, so it is better to go to Taiwan to have a look. So he took his son Cheng Xiaodong to follow Liu Dan to Taiwan.

Wang Zijun was overjoyed when he heard this, Cheng Xiaodong was a famous person, and immediately said: "Welcome two to Taiwan, I, the host, should greet you well." ”

The two didn't say that they went to Taiwan to join the Wang family, and Wang Zijun didn't dare to invite rashly, so they only talked about it first.

Cheng Xiaodong saw Wang Zijun and said excitedly: "Director Wang, the action design in your "Bloody Lonely City" is fantastic, especially the hand-to-hand fight between the Yuejun death squad and [***]. It makes my blood boil! ”

Wang Zijun sweated profusely, thinking to himself, my action designs are just picking up your old man's teeth, but don't worship me.

"I heard you're going to make a gang TV series about Shanghai Beach soon?" Cheng Xiaodong asked.

"Yes." Wang Zijun nodded.

"There must be a lot of martial arts footage, right?" Cheng Xiaodong asked.

"Of course." Wang Zijun said, "There are also some shootouts and explosion shots. ”

Cheng Xiaodong said happily: "That's great, can I go and have a look?" ”

You delivered it yourself! Wang Zijun seized the opportunity and said: "Of course, if you are interested, you can also join the crew." ”

Cheng Xiaodong said: "When I watched "Bloody Lonely City", I had a question, how did the gun hit a person and splash blood? Could it be that a blood bag was stuffed into a person's clothes and shot with an empty shell bullet? ”

Wang Zijun smiled: "Of course not. First tie several layers of protective plates to people's clothes, and then put blood bags and a small amount of explosives outside the protective plates, and as soon as the explosives burst, blood will splash out. ”

"So that's it." Cheng Xiaodong suddenly realized.
