"I'm sorry, Xu Sheng. I've really been feeling a bit of discomfort in my back lately and would like to rest for a few days......"

Li Lianjie hung up the phone with a bitter face, looked at the man sitting on the sofa next to him, put his shoes on the coffee table in front of him, and said to him angrily: "David, you have made me miserable this time."

The movie "Chinese Heroes" directed and acted by RU in the year hit the street at the box office, and he was almost disabled because of filming, and Li Lianjie, who was devastated, once had the idea of leaving the showbiz. It wasn't until 89 that Luo Wei first invited him to star in "Dragon in the World", but the movie was only released for two weeks before it was painted, and it only won a box office of more than 6 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong.

The successive blows made Li Lianjie begin to doubt whether he could act and whether he could act. If Xu Ke hadn't found him again and spent a few days persuading him to return to Hong Kong to continue filming, I believe there would be no him today.

Therefore, in private, Li Lianjie not only regards Xu Ke as a close friend, but also is very grateful to him in his heart.

But this time, my friend Xu Ke got a good script from Media Asia, and it was a big production with an investment of 50 million, and he immediately thought of keeping the role of the protagonist to himself, but when he came to the door, he was a closed door here, and no one would be a little reluctant to go, let alone him.

The man in his thirties who put his feet on the coffee table was a young man in his thirties, and there was no neglected beard on his white face, but there was a frivolity floating between his eyebrows, and his feet were still shaking between his words: "Isn't it just a movie script?" And it's still modern, Ajay, have you forgotten the box office of several modern movies you've shot in the past few years? ”

This person is Luo David, the son of Luo Wei, and he is also Li Lianjie's agent.

After speaking, David Luo stood up on the sofa, his body shape was very similar to his father Luo Wei was a little fat, but the short sleeves of the upper body revealed two thick and strong arms, and there were two hovering green dragons tattooed on the muscles, but it was not like an ordinary fat man, adding a bit of fierce atmosphere.

His words caused Li Lianjie to be silent for a while, indeed...... Although his personal relationship with David Luo is good, he will not be completely swayed by his agent, and he is hesitant to take over the filming of "Black Man", because as David Luo said, in order to broaden his acting career a few years ago, he took on several urban movies, but after taking off his ancient costumes and changing into modern clothes, he Li Lianjie immediately changed from box office guarantee to box office poison, and was once so embarrassed and depressed that he doubted whether he had the ability to film.

It can only be said that in his early years, he made a series of costume movies such as "Shaolin Temple", "Shaolin Kid", "North and South Shaolin", which left too deep an impression on the audience, so much so that he later wanted to transform into an urban type movie to broaden his acting path.

Luo David looked at Li Lianjie, who was still frowning in front of him, but his face had eased a lot, his mouth blinked and lit a cigarette for himself, but his eyes bent out a crescent moon.

He knew that this matter was mostly prevaricated.

Lin Xiaozhi didn't guess wrong, this time Li Lianjie finally failed to star in Huanya's "Black Man", behind which he and Golden Harvest were making trouble

Why would Golden Harvest do this, in fact, it is not difficult to explain. Shaw Brothers stopped production, Princess Jin and Xinyicheng were still in the recovery period after the internal friction of the past few years, although the junior Yongsheng has developed rapidly in the past two years, but compared with the annexation of Debao and Meiya, and the rapid expansion of the market into a giant after the listing, the threat of the former opponent is far less than the more ferocious Huanya. With this level of competition, there is a chance to stumble on the other party quietly, whether it is Zou Minhuai or He Guanchang, this kind of thing has never been less in the past.

As for why he Luo David wants to participate, this matter has to start with Xu Ke's "Huang Feihong: Top Gun" that was just completed not long ago.

When Xu Ke went to the United States, he met Li Lianjie and intended to invite him back to Hong Kong to film, and soon after he had a script "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun" written for him.

Different from the feature-length movie "Wong Fei Hung" in Hong Kong in the 60s and 70s, Xu Ke is ready to boldly use Li Lianjie to play the youth version of Wong Fei Hung, changing the image of the 50 or 60-year-old respected grandmasters created by Kwan Tak-hing on the screen, which is refreshing. The new version not only retains many characters in the original story, such as: Aunt Thirteen, Liang Kuan, Lin Shirong, but also adds the clue of Huang Feihong and Aunt Thirteen's love.

As soon as this script came out, not only Li Lianjie was very moved, and directly agreed to star in this movie, as his agent David Luo is also qualified to access the script, although his reputation in the industry is not as good as that father, but he still has some vision. After discovering the business opportunity, he immediately thought of contacting Golden Harvest and encouraging Golden Harvest to invest in this movie.

In this way, he can not only share Li Lianjie's remuneration commission, but also get a considerable benefit fee from Golden Harvest (this kind of thing was very common in the Hong Kong film industry in the 80s, when the film was highly prosperous), and even once the film is made in the future, Li Lianjie's salary will rise with the tide, and he will receive more dividends.

Out of this idea of killing three birds with one stone, David Luo privately gave the script part of "Once Upon a Time" to Golden Harvest, and sure enough, Golden Harvest had the idea of investing when he saw it. But before he Luo David took the lead in the middle and contacted Xu Ke to co-produce "Once Upon a Time" for Golden Harvest, he heard the news from Xu Ke, only to know that Lin Xiaozhi took the initiative to come to the door and invested heavily in this movie.

The envisioned Golden Harvest benefits are gone, and I don't know if there will be a follow-up after the Lu Dao movie, although Xu Ke is cautious and prefers to share the risk with others, it does not mean that he is a saint who sacrifices himself for others.

After knocking on the side several times, he learned that after Xu Laowei introduced Huanya, a powerful investor, he no longer had the intention of giving a share of the small profits in his hand to Jiahe, he was angry and annoyed, and he hated Huanya.

There has never been love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason. To say that he Luo David, for a third-rate star who is not very famous and has nothing but his face and figure, he dared to find someone to break a leg of a wealthy Macau businessman whose financial resources are more than ten times that of him, which shows the ruthlessness in his bones and his temperament

Seeing that Li Lianjie was still worried about annoying Huanya, the current leader of the Hong Kong film industry, he couldn't help but be unhappy: "Ajie, it seems that you have left the film industry for a few years to do business (Li Lianjie has opened the "International Martial Arts Development Company" and a commercial martial arts gym), and even his eyes have begun to move closer to those businessmen. Do you say it's Huan Yaqiang or Jiahe Qiang? What is the stock thing, Cao Jianchun (a well-known securities analyst in Hong Kong) didn't say everything, it was all dirty water. Can the strength of his Huanya relying on speculation and those stockholders in the stock market be compared with the decades of Golden Harvest? The movie is a circle that pays attention to connections and influence, with Zou Daheng's status and identity in the industry, can he be replaced by Lin Xiaozhi? Earlier, Kowloon tycoon Lei Juekun and famous brand king Pan Disheng all clamored to become the industry leader, but what was the final result? A down-and-out one sold the company and ran away, and the other hasn't been out for a long time, on the other hand, Shao Tycoon's Jiahe is getting stronger and stronger...... Golden Harvest will also be listed next month, and the only advantage of Media Asia over Golden Harvest will be gone. It's rare that Zou Daheng values you very much, and asked Ms. Liu Lianghua and Mr. He Guanchang to personally attract you to join Golden Harvest several times, and you said that you want to consider whether you are willing to sign a long-term contract with Golden Harvest, but people not only did not pursue it, but also signed a contract with you for two years, four movies, and three million salaries. What is called bearing, this is the bearing of great things......"

has the name of his father Luo Wei, and he also has a three-inch tongue, David Luo's own agency has also signed seven or eight stars. It's just that he has a penchant for women, and most of the people signed under his name are third-tier female vase artists, and the value together is not as good as Li Lianjie.

David Luo saw it very clearly, he did not hesitate to pull down his face and signed a ten-year brokerage contract with Li Lianjie, and he could take a cut of three or five from Li Lianjie's salary and endorsement, although it was half lower than the five or six percent of those black-hearted agents in the industry, but Li Lianjie had the potential to become a superstar, and once he became popular, he would be the scenery for half his life.

After his personal vendetta in this communiqué ruined an opportunity for Li Lianjie, he was also worried that Li Lianjie would complain in his heart, so he had a so-called analysis, but in fact it was just a defense for himself.

Sure enough, when Li Lianjie heard this, he remembered Jiahe's attitude towards him again, and his brows finally relaxed, and he was no longer worried that he would be retaliated against by Huanya. It's just that he still thinks about Xu Ke's side, "What you said is also reasonable, it's just that Xu Sheng has hated him this time, and he has a great kindness to me." Hey, David, I hope you're right."

understood that Jiahe had stumbled himself again, although he understood that he couldn't help himself in the shopping mall, but Lin Xiaozhi couldn't help but crook his mouth afterwards, and began to think about whether to give Jiahe some eye medicine.

The asymmetry of mastering resources not only allowed the reborn to see farther than others, but also allowed Lin Xiaozhi to quickly finalize two means of counterattack.

Cheng Long and Sammo Hung are undoubtedly the two pillars of Golden Harvest, and one of Lin Xiaozhi's counterattacks is to cut from the two. Of course, both of them have too many interests entangled with Golden Harvest, and he knows very well that even if he offers a sky-high contract, it will be difficult to poach the two, but if he can't dig the two, it doesn't mean that he can't dig the others, this time Lin Xiaozhi paid attention to it, and waved the banknote to attack the people around Cheng Long and Sammo Hung .
