At almost ten o'clock in the evening, a fat man wearing sunglasses pushed open the glass door of the restaurant and walked in.

A waiter who was mopping the floor next to him stopped his way:

"I'm sorry, sir, but our side is closed."

The fat man took off his sunglasses, looked left and right at the restaurant, and then explained that he was not here to eat, but to find someone.

"Are you looking for Chen Gangsheng?" The waiter looked the fat man up and down, "Our kitchen here is not allowed to enter, what do you have to do with him?" ”

"I'm his big brother!" The fat man glanced at the good guy in front of him with some impatience, and was ready to rush in.

The waiter originally wanted to go up and stop him, but when he compared his own body with the five big and three thick bodies of others, he finally dispelled this idea.

"Wait a minute, I'll help you call someone."

Not long after the waiter entered, he saw Cheng Long running out in a white chef's suit, and when he saw this fat man, he was very polite, saying hello and greeting.

The fat man patted Cheng Long on the shoulder and joked: "Okay, Yuanlou, there are chefs here, is it possible that our senior brothers can eat here for free in the future?" ”

"Senior brother, don't laugh at me, I'm just eating casually." Cheng Long took off his chef's uniform as he spoke, threw it into the hand of the waiter next to him, and asked the other party to help him get his clothes back, and continued to greet the fat man and said, "The kitchen has ceased fire here, let's go outside and find a place to sit for a while?" ”

The fat man puts on his sunglasses and looks a little cool again.

"You called me over today, of course, I will listen to your arrangement."

This fat man is none other than Hong Jinbao, who studied under Zhanyuan with Cheng Long, because he is five years older than Cheng Long and left the school early, Cheng Long entered the film and television industry to do martial arts before because of Hong Jinbao's carrying road.

Cheng Long has a big heart, and after a few years of martial arts, he felt hopeless, so he simply changed his career to become a chef when he was disheartened.

Hong Jinbao's situation is better than Cheng Long, and he is already a well-known action director at this time, but because in Hong Kong, everyone only buys Bruce Lee's account in action movies, so he is not very happy.

Today, Cheng Long called Hong Jinbao and said that he wanted to invite him out for a get-together.

Hong Jinbao knew that his junior brother had always been in the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and most of the time he wanted to ask him for help when he went out, but for the sake of studying art together for so many years, as a senior brother, he naturally couldn't refuse.

After coming out of the restaurant, the two found a food stall specializing in late-night snacks and sat down, ordered food, asked for a few bottles of beer and ate and drank.

"Senior brother, there's something I want you to help me come up with!" Cheng Long took the wine bottle to help Hong Jinbao pour the wine, and casually mentioned his purpose of asking Hong Jinbao to come out to meet today.

Hong Jinbao waved his hand very arrogantly, "If you have something, just say it, as long as I can help, I will definitely not be ambiguous!" ”

"Here's the thing, I met a guy in a restaurant some time ago, and yesterday he called and asked if I wanted to go back to being an actor again, and he could recommend me to be the actor in a TV series......"

Hong Jinbao was raising his head and drinking wine, and when he heard this, he directly put the wine glass on the table, and said loudly with a mouthful of wine: "Okay, Yuan Lou, this is going to play the leading role, it seems that being a chef is still very promising, and you can actually meet such a nobleman!" ”

Just after congratulating Cheng Long here, Hong Jinbao suddenly calmed down again.

"What's the reason for that guy of yours? Is it reliable? ”

Without waiting for Cheng Long to speak, Hong Jinbao followed and said: "It's not that I'm too careful, it's mainly because this industry is mixed now, many of them are liars, and there are many people around me who have been fooled, I said this to you when you are a brother!" ”

Cheng Long picked up the wine bottle, nodded and filled Hong Jinbao's cup again, and then explained: "Speaking of this person, he has a very good reputation recently, and you should have heard of it, senior brother, it is Lin Xi who established his own film and television company to help ATV shoot "Chu Liuxiang"! ”

"Lin Xi? It's the Lin Xi who can write novels and shoot commercials! Hong Jinbao's eyes widened, and he almost thought he had heard it wrong.

Cheng Long enjoyed this moment Hong Jinbao looked at him with all kinds of jealousy and envy, he was the only one who looked at Hong Jinbao with this kind of gaze before, but now the status of the two sides has suddenly reversed, and it feels very cool.

Of course, Cheng Long only dared to feel refreshed in his heart, on the surface, he still had to pretend to respect Hong Jinbao very much, and he couldn't let himself appear too proud.

After digesting the shock brought to him by Cheng Long's words, Hong Jinbao still felt that this matter was a little unacceptable all of a sudden.

"You and Lin Xi really met in the restaurant, the one before?"

Cheng Long nodded honestly.

"Lin Xi and his father Lin Shu used to be frequent customers of that restaurant, and then Lin Shu didn't love it very much, but Lin Xi also went often, once forgot to bring his wallet and was detained there to wash dishes and pay off debts, I chatted with him a few words, and each other was still a relationship, when he asked me to borrow money to 'redeem myself', because the amount was not large, I lent it to him, but I didn't want to have a good relationship because of this."

Cheng Long only said how he and Lin Xi met, but he didn't say how he planned to call the other party to recommend himself during this time.

Hong Jinbao didn't completely believe Cheng Long's words, but he could at least be sure of one thing - Cheng Long just said that Lin Xi was looking for him to film should be true.

"With such a noble person, you kid is afraid that he is really going to soar this time, come, I salute you, if it is really developed in the future, don't forget our brothers!"

Hong Jinbao picked up his wine glass, this was the first time he took the initiative to toast to Cheng Long today.

Cheng Long said that he didn't dare to take it seriously, but he still had a drink with Hong Jinbao.

Putting down the wine glass and wiping his mouth, Cheng Long said the real reason why he was looking for Hong Jinbao.

"Senior brother, don't be in a hurry to congratulate me, this matter is really not as simple as you think, Lin Xi is willing to give me this opportunity, but he is conditional, if I want to play that role, I must first sign a twenty-year contract with Oriental Film and Television Company, if I want to terminate the contract halfway, the liquidated damages will be fifty times the value I was worth when I proposed to terminate the contract."

"Damn!"

Hong Jinbao slammed the wine glass on the table again, but last time because he was surprised, this time because he was angry.

"What's the difference between such a contract and a deed of sale?"

Seeing that Hong Jinbao was really angry, Cheng Long hurriedly persuaded him and explained: "At the beginning, when I saw the contract, my reaction was similar to that of you just now, senior brother, but then I calmed down and thought about it, and it is estimated that I was afraid that after spending a lot of effort to make me popular, I patted my ass and left, so I set such a clause, but if I don't change jobs, the conditions on the contract are also very generous, as long as I can perform famously, you can support me to make my own movies and set up my own film company, You can even participate in the box office share of each movie according to a certain percentage. ”

"It's just a big pie, if you want them to fulfill these terms, you don't say that you can surpass Bruce Lee now, but at least you have to reach the level he was five or six years ago, right?"

Hong Jinbao snorted coldly, this was actually what he said because he couldn't wipe his face, after all, he just slapped the table just now to persuade Cheng Long not to accept it, and he couldn't listen to the favorable conditions offered by the other side and immediately change his attitude.

"I think Lin Xi should be a person who does big things, which can be seen from the fact that he dared to shout at Bruce Lee when he just filmed his first TV series, and judging from everyone's reactions before and after the broadcast of "Chu Liuxiang", he really has this capital, follow him, I don't think it should be too bad!" Cheng Long drained the wine in his cup in one go, and said fiercely: "No matter how poor you are, you will never come out if you don't die!" Instead of being obscure for a lifetime like now, it's better to go out and fight! ”
