Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 32
After New Year’s Day, time entered 1982.
Suddenly, the number of calls inviting Luo Junyan to attend commercial promotion activities increased. Luo Junyan accepted all kinds of openings, store celebrations, promotions, and banquets.
The income of each platform performance ranged from 10,000 to 20,000. He ran 4 places in a single day at most, and received 60,000 yuan on that day.
And sister Army also became popular with the “Killer Couple File”, even a lot more popular than Luo Junyan, but no one sent an invitation to sister Army for a commercial performance.
In the words of Brother Cheng, the army is a boss with hundreds of thousands of dollars per minute. How much compensation do you think you are embarrassed to talk about?
Sister Army’s social circle has greatly expanded, and she has been invited to attend many rich gatherings, charity events, and political and business dinners. The flowers sent to her office have been piled up like a mountain.
Through frequent appearances in the high-end circle, the army sister is no longer in the same way as those female stars in the eyes of many wealthy dignitaries. Although she was only regarded as a prey waiting to be hunted in a fun field, the prey was after all a purebred nine-tailed fox with white fur.
By mid-January, Luo Junyan’s popularity began to decline, and the number of events invited to attend gradually decreased. There is no strong company behind it, and it is quite difficult for artists to continue to become popular.
Luo Junyan received a call from Fa Ge as soon as he was free, and wanted to invite him out for a late night supper, Luo Junyan gladly accepted.
Fa Ge has made a lot of movies this year, but the box office results are extremely unsatisfactory. It can not be said that they are all on the street, but at least none of them can be called a hit.
That night, the two drank each other in the food stall, and this time Fa Ge drank very generously.
After three drunk tours, Fa Ge said half drunk and half awake: “A Jun, you are an entertainer with a very special identity in the show business circle, and you can talk to you about some of your concerns.”
Luo Junyan nodded and said: “Brother Fa, you just say anything, I’ll listen.”
Brother Fa sighed and said: “The company warned me and asked me to break up with A-Lian. Ajun, are you funny? Being an actor requires the company’s consent even if you like anyone.”
Luo Junyan nodded and listened carefully.
Fa Ge shook his head and said, “A-Lian and I are both from poor families. Even if we are famous as an actor, they are inherently incomparable to some people. A Jun, I really feel tired. I work hard, no matter what. Whether it’s career or life, it’s disappointing everywhere. The company recently arranged for A-Lian to attend a reception for the rich. To be honest, I feel very uncomfortable. Tens of thousands.”
Luo Junyan touched him a cup and asked, “What does Sister Lian mean?”
Fa Ge silently drank the beer and said: “Alian said she will not compromise with the company, but in terms of work, she will obey the company’s arrangements.”
Luo Junyan put his arm on the table, squinted his chin, and said, “Brother Fa, I definitely don’t understand love. I have been thinking these days, what kind of conditions are necessary for two people to be together for a long time? Experience, Concepts, career goals, life attitudes, and even people of what identities, do they have to be so in sync and consistent?”
Luo Junyan took a sip of wine and continued: “Brother Fa, now I think that it’s not love that sets conditions. Two people don’t set conditions. Brother Fa, what kind of fate do you think it takes? Even if it’s bizarre. When you meet it, love is too hard work. If you can avoid it, don’t take the initiative to lean on it.”
Fa Ge wobbly listened, and then asked: “A Jun, since you don’t want to touch love, do you want to date and get married in the future? If you date and get married, then what are you doing?”
Luo Junyan poured wine and said: “Women must be looking for them. Dating and marriage have nothing to do with love. My dad and my old sister are satisfied.”
Fa Ge looked at him helplessly and said: “Can this kind of marriage last? Will your life be happy after marriage? Even if you don’t care, you will harm others forever.”
Luo Junyan said: “I’m a fool, I can act as I write the script, so it’s at least a little easier. I have to be the director to add the drama to me, the ending is probably the same, the whole crew will have to follow the pain.”
Fa Ge was drinking in silence, not knowing what he was thinking.
On the eve of the Spring Festival, Princess Jin transferred the box office into a special account under Luo Junyan’s name as a share of 12.31 million Hong Kong dollars in accordance with the agreement.
Among all the film company bosses in Hong Kong, Lei Juekun is definitely the one with the most contractual spirit.
Luo Junyan also adjusted the accounts with the accountant assigned by Shaw Brothers, and happily transferred the investment of “Killer Couple File” to 14.055 million Hong Kong dollars. Because the original remaining funds have been spent, the balance of funds in the special account is also 14.055 million Hong Kong dollars.
Brother Cheng returned to Xiangjiang from Taiwan only recently.
With this time Cheng Ge went out in person, Yang Dengkui was overwhelmed by the various advanced ideas he had developed in depth and the goodidea he brought in, which led to the larger and larger Sapphire Big Cabaret project.
The core positioning of the project has been upgraded to the first show in the Asian entertainment industry. Cheng Cheng was appointed as the chief planning consultant for the first show, and Cheng felt that he was a stubborn talent.
In Brother Cheng’s office, Luo Junyan just wanted to look through the new script handed over, and Brother Cheng quickly held it down.
Brother Cheng said: “A Jun, I have driven the script out for you. As for the tragedy or the happy reunion? You can change the ending at will. But if you want to watch the content, you have to pay 100,000 yuan in remuneration.”
Luo Junyan asked: “Master, you don’t have confidence in your script?”
Brother Cheng said: “According to your request, completely deviating from the mainstream thinking of this era, I really have no confidence. I am not responsible for filming or not. Anyway, if you want to see it, you have to check out first. Anyway, you are rich now and are willing. It’s up to you how misfortune comes.”
Luo Junyan looked at the title “My Savage Girlfriend” on the cover of the script, thought about it, and said, “Okay.”
So after the 100,000 yuan check was put into the bag, Cheng Ge cheerfully handed him a cigar, and said: “Order it and taste it, the pure Cuban cigar, Lao Yang gave it to me.”
Luo Junyan was not in a hurry to read the script. Instead, he said, “Master, Yang Dengkui is very powerful in Taiwan. You must be careful when working with him.”
Brother Cheng said: “A Jun, after more than a year of in-depth understanding, I basically know what the Hong Kong and Taiwan underworld is like.”
Brother Cheng thought for a while and said, “By the way, let’s make an appointment here. It is a temporary hire for 150 yuan. Good guys, how to dress, how to stand, how to shout slogans when you arrive at the scene, professional Sexuality can’t keep up with professional group performances. You can’t do it right away. Whenever you have a casualty, you have to pay for life-saving, care for your family members, and you can bankrupt the big brother of society.”
Luo Junyan said: “Master, don’t be careless, there are still ruthless roles in the club.”
Brother Cheng nodded and said, “Strategic contempt, and tactics, pay attention. Since there are not many desperadoes and stunners who do not understand, then there is a way to suppress it. The relationship between the police and the media is being established. Let me give some small favors to the people who talk about things here. The basic problem is not big. As for Lao Yang, I win the trust with wisdom and persuade people with morality. It is all serious business operations. This has also been made clear in advance.”
Luo Junyan nodded and asked: “My sister is not in the company?”
Brother Cheng glanced at him and said, “Are you asking Azi or the army? But it’s the same. Someone came over and said that they wanted to take action in the writing room, and they went to meet the property owner.”
While talking, sister army and Luo Meizi knocked on the door and came in.
Both of them were sinking, and did not say hello to Luo Junyan. They sat on the sofa without saying a word.
Brother Cheng got up and asked, “Azi, how did the talk go? Did the other party really sell the property?”
Luo Meizi glanced at sister army, and said angrily: “The boss of this Tianyuan Industry is too shameless. He acted on sister army in front of me, and what he said was disgusting.”
Brother Cheng widened his eyes and said, “Can you get used to him? Call the police. If you can’t tell him, you will have to make him stink.”
Sister Army also had her chest ups and downs, and she inadvertently glanced at Luo Junyan and said, “Forget it, it’s not a shame for a woman to spread this kind of thing. Brother Cheng, I just came in and said, don’t talk to any company under Tianyuan Industry in the future. Negotiate business.”
Luo Meizi stood up and said, “Sister Army, I’ll pour you a cup of tea.” Then he said to Luo Junyan: “Xiaojun, haven’t you finished talking with Brother Cheng?”
Luo Junyan quickly got up, held up the script, and said, “The talk is over, I will go home now.”
After saying goodbye to the three, Luo Junyan did not go home directly, but found a private detective agency.
He commissioned an investigation of the detailed information of Tianyuan Industrial at a price of 50,000 yuan, and tracked and recorded the daily activities of Tianyuan Industrial Chairman Ma Weiming. The tracking period was tentatively set for 2 months.
Then Luo Junyan returned home like an okay child and began to read the script of “My Savage Girlfriend” carefully.
After watching it, Luo Junyan’s first feeling was that “The Next Stop, Queen of the Day” was a fairy tale, and “My Savage Girlfriend” was a myth when filmed. Is there anything that people can believe in the characters and plot of this film?
Luo Junyan tried his best to recall his request, a romance film, and the actor should be mediocre, weak, and humble. In short, he made a mess of his career, life, and communication. He had no thoughts and was willing to be mediocre. Straw man.
There is really no reason to ask Cheng to reject the manuscript, and I feel that it meets his requirements.
Luo Junyan took out the cigar he brought back and lit it. He really liked “My Savage Girlfriend”, but the probability of hitting the street after it was released was as high as 90%.
This film is too out of touch with the social reality of Xiangjiang. Although many girls on the street have been shopping with their thighs exposed, it does not mean that they will identify with such a domineering woman and such a weak man.
Especially the male protagonist is also very important, and now girls are still obsessed with Taiwanese mature gentleman brand milk products. Those who dare not talk back after being bullied, don’t know if it will work.
While he was thinking, Lomezi opened the door and came in. So scared that Luo Junyan almost dropped the cigar on the key position of his pants.
Luo Meizi frowned, helped him open the window, and said, “Just take a few puffs and let it go. Don’t learn that Brother Cheng can’t leave your hand.”
Luo Junyan cut the cigarette **** and said with a smile: “Sister, you came back early today.”
Luo Meizi sat on the side of the bed and said, “If there are few things today, I will get off work early. Why? Is the script inappropriate?”
Luo Junyan handed her the script, and Luo Meizi went through it from beginning to end and said, “I think it’s very exciting, and it will look good when it comes out.”
Luo Junyan looked at her with his chin and said, “Then shoot?”
Luo Meizi replied decisively: “Take it.”
Luo Junyan ran over, sat down with Luo Meizi, and said, “Sister, don’t fall in love in this life.”
Luo Meizi gave him a white look and said, “What are you talking about? You want me to serve you forever?”
Luo Junyan lay on the bed and said, “I found that there are not many good men in Xiangjiang, including me. If you marry someone in the future and get wronged, I will definitely stay with that man, so I might as well treat you stay with me.”
Luo Meizi snorted and said, “It’s actually nice to be alone. Just like sister army, she goes to do aerobics, swim and go after get off work every day. Otherwise, she’ll have a chat with friends. She took me to the fitness club two days ago. It feels very comfortable after the jump.”
Luo Junyan immediately sat up and said: “Where is it? Someday I will cheer for you.”
Luo Meizi slapped him down and said, “Girls’ fitness club, do you want to peep? Pervert.”
On the contrary, Luo Junyan was complacent and asked: “Sister, why don’t you say Sister Army doesn’t find a boyfriend?”
Luo Meizi thought for a while, and said: “Sister Army has a very sensitive feeling, but her heart is actually very sensitive. It is completely different from what she usually shows. I think the love she expects is almost perfect, so she must be careful in terms of feelings. Because I really can’t afford to hurt it once.”
Luo Junyan nodded and said, “Then bless her with perfect love.”
