Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 61
This time, Luo Junyan asked Rong to ask for Bai Anni’s help after getting the script of “Flu”.
The two met in the lobby cafe of the Peninsula Hotel, but Luo Junyan met this different female artist in the parking lot.
The reason for the difference is simple. Bo Anni appeared in a Porsche. When two people happened to arrive at the same time, and they happened to park at an adjacent location, Luo Junyan immediately didn’t plan to spend the tea money.
Luo Junyan had seen Bo Anni’s photos in advance. Of course Bo Anni also knew Luo Junyan. After they got out of the car, they greeted each other, and then both looked at each other’s car.
Bai Anni first said: “Mr. Luo, big stars only drive a Toyota. Your life is so simple.”
Luo Junyan smiled and said: “Miss Anne, drive a Porsche to make a movie, you are very persistent about being an actor.”
Bai Anni also smiled and said: “Mr. Luo, being an actor is indeed my interest, not how much money I make. I heard people say that you are very frugal and don’t save too much when making movies. Art cannot be measured by money.”
Luo Junyan gave a thumbs up and said solemnly: “The Golden Statue Award should set up an award for the best artistic pursuit, and Miss Anne promises to win back a trophy every year.”
Bai Anni’s smile disappeared, she stared at him, and said: “Mr. Luo, I have heard people say that you have always been dismissive of the Academy Awards, and you only value the box office when you make movies. I’m curious, because you have no confidence. Or do you really think that the awards won by the actors are worthless?”
Luo Junyan shook his head, sighed, and said: “I have seen many actors, and I always say that what I value is reputation. In fact, I want to win awards for money? Miss Anne, take you as an example, a role If you get an award, don’t you want to be paid for your acting?”
Bai Anni said angrily: “Of course. But who can be sure that she will win the prize?”
Luo Junyan nodded and said, “Okay. You signed the contract and played the leading actress with zero pay. I promise you will win the Golden Image Awards. Miss Anne, do you think it is okay for us to cooperate like this?”
Bai Anni said angrily: “I can sign. But what if I don’t get the award? Nominations don’t count.”
Luo Junyan thought for a while, and solemnly said: “As long as you act in a down-to-earth and serious manner, and if you don’t get the award next year at the Academy Awards, I promise to compensate you for your loss. How about double pay?”
Bai Anni thought about it a bit and said, “That’s not going to work. You compensate me for the latest Lamborghini sports car, and I can promise to sign a contract with you, otherwise I won’t play.”
Luo Junyan’s eyes were firm, he held his breath for a while, and said, “About how much is it?”
Bai Anni laughed out loud, and then quickly sternly said: “2, 3 million Hong Kong dollars.”
Luo Junyan scolded his mother, this girl is too thief, no wonder she is a top university student. Originally, he thought very well, so he fudged and signed the contract first, as long as he agreed to appear on the show, how much can a newcomer double the salary, let alone get the Golden Image Award.
But Bai Anni treated him like this, and for a while, Luo Junyan really didn’t dare to agree to it casually.
Bai Anni shook the key in her hand and said with a smile: “I want to trick me into making a movie for you at a low price. Why don’t you dare to agree to my terms? Or go back and think about it? Then I have to say goodbye.”
Luo Junyan took out the script and said: “Miss Anne, otherwise you will read the script first, and we will drink and chat inside. This role in the script is especially suitable for you. You are a researcher of germs, and you are acting with true colors.”
Bai Anni widened her eyes and said: “Luo Junyan, you are really inexperienced. I don’t read the script. I promise to play the role well. You can give me an answer after you think it through. Can you buy a sports car?”
After she finished speaking, she didn’t give Luo Junyan a chance to continue to fool around, turned around and got in the car and left.
Luo Junyan felt that she had buried herself in a pit. Normally speaking, even if Bai Anni lion speaks loudly, the salary will not exceed one hundred thousand yuan at most. The key is who would have thought that this girl has such a high IQ? The double pay was stunned because she couldn’t get her.
Luo Junyan looked back to Zhong Chuhong again. As expected by Wang Xiaopang, Zhong Chuhong’s agent directly bid for a salary of 600,000 yuan, which was more than double the normal asking price. The remuneration price can be negotiated, but this time it can be set and cannot be lowered much.
Now everyone knows that Luo Junyan is eager to make a film, and the heroine is the key figure in the film. At this time, there is no reason not to slaughter the local tyrants. The video tapes of “Electric Music Magician” are still selling well in various markets.
At the same time, after Luo Junyan met Bai Anni, she always felt that she was the best candidate for the heroine. From appearance, demeanor, behavior to temperament, they all fit the heroine’s settings. This is how you choose a role in a movie. Once you meet someone who fits the role, you are always unwilling to abandon it, and you want to play it all the time.
Luo Junyan talked to sister army on the phone and told her stupid things.
Sister Army laughed so hard that she finally persuaded Luo Junyan to agree to Bo Anni. Now that I know it in my heart, I don’t need to worry about it anymore. It doesn’t matter if I don’t get the Golden Image Award in the end. After all, making a good movie is the most important thing.
And sister army believes that betting on giving away Lamborghini can also be used as a gimmick for publicity, which can save a lot of publicity costs. After delivering the car, I can establish a good reputation in the circle of talking about credit, and 3 million Hong Kong dollars is worth spending.
Luo Junyan then called Bai Anni, agreed to her terms, and appended the terms of the bet to the contract.
Bai Anni felt surprised herself, and her opinion of Luo Junyan had changed a lot, and she was not a stingy guy. She didn’t really want a Lamborghini sports car, and the family couldn’t afford it. When she couldn’t get the Golden Award, she would just quit.
Both Zhige and Chang were recruited by Luo Junyan to play important supporting roles this time, the pair of snakehead brothers who went to the container to investigate the situation at the beginning. If you don’t have a chance, you can only hit the side drum, and if you have a chance, you still have to pave the way for your own people.
In the film, the heroine’s daughter is starred by the 9-year-old Huang Yushi. This is Huang Zhan’s biological daughter. Uncle Zhan recommended it to let her have fun. Although Huang Zhan has been divorced, he still has a close relationship with his daughter. Luo Junyan always feels that Uncle Zhan’s ability to write good words has a lot to do with his rich inner feelings.
In addition, before filming “Influenza”, we have to communicate with government officials. After all, the subject matter is a bit sensitive, and you can’t wait to be executed by an electrical inspection after it’s taken out. At that time, it would be too late to think of a solution.
For this reason, Cheng has made a relatively large modification to the plot, sharing the role of the president among several roles of legislative councillors. Anything left is a matter, so put on all top hats.
Heung Kong only released the “White Paper on Representative Government” at the end of last year. Members of the Legislative Council were elected indirectly and were no longer directly appointed by the Governor. At this time, the elected members urgently need to establish a positive image.
As a result, the plot turned into an international pressure on the Hong Kong government to carry out humanitarian destruction. The lawmakers asked the people for their orders and worked together to resist humanitarian destruction. In the end, the governor complied with the persuasion of the parliamentarians and withstood international pressure.
If this were not for those in power who tried to beautify the Hong Kong River, the Royal Auxiliary Air Force’s Dolphin helicopters would not be available for loan. If you want to block the road and stage a group show of big scenes, don’t count on it.
The budget of “Influenza” is 5.5 million Hong Kong dollars. Because the scale of group performances is too large and there are so many scenes in group performances, even if one person talks about 45 yuan a day, it is a very expensive expense.
Moreover, every congressman actually has to personally interview candidates for the role of congressman in the play, forcing Luo Junyan to find Hu Feng and Liu Zhaoming, who are more elegant and gentleman seniors, to play the congressman. This cost a lot of money again, and it was originally possible to find a few tricks and distribute it to a few people, without a few lines.
Luo Junyan began to grow a beard, and this image appeared mature. And he ran to the Hong Kong Fire Services Department to observe every day, trying to interpret the real image of a firefighter.
The requirement for Bo Anni is to experience motherhood. Make-up can raise your age, but the feeling of being a mother must be experienced and figured out by the actors themselves. In short, the emotional feeling must be acted out.
Wang Jing didn’t expect Luo Junyan to make such a big formation. Just forming the crew, preparing the props and finalizing the group performance would make him miserable. This movie looks simple, but in fact, many scenes are very complicated, and the director’s comprehensive ability is very high.
At this time, Wang Xiaopang came to understand why Luo Junyan so happily agreed to give him a 3% box office share. While he greeted Luo Junyan’s uncle in his heart, he had to work against time.
On April 18th, the crew of “Influenza” held a ceremony to worship.
This time the shooting requirements are fast and good. The protagonist often turns on the axis, but troubles continue at this time.
First of all, ATV is in trouble. Luo Junyan has no problem in making a movie. The key is his own company investment, and he doesn’t need to pay himself the starring role. Doesn’t that mean ATV is using money to support Luo Junyan for private work?
Luo Junyan was personally recalled by Qiu Degen to the company for interview, and finally the two parties reached an agreement. Luo Junyan needs to make another popular TV series before the contract expires, and at the same time cooperate with the promotional activities of the first Miss Asia pageant this year, and the salary will be suspended immediately.
As soon as the ATV matter was settled, Bian Sicong returned to Xiangjiang from Taiwan with a black face. He went to Taiwan to contact a new video tape distributor, but was beaten by someone inexplicably fat, and threatened him to leave Taiwan immediately.
Brother Cheng feels that this is not easy. As expected, a young and Dangerous boy came to him within two days.
Huang Jun from the East Tsim Sha Tsui makes an appointment with Luo Junyan. This is a famous figure on the underworld of Xiangjiang, the double-flower red stick of Xinyi’an, which belongs to the kind of martial arts with brains.
Luo Junyan thought about it all night, and decided to go to the meeting alone despite Brother Gu Cheng’s persuasion.
Luo Junyan and Huang Jun met in a restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui, and the boss of the videotape partner was also brought over. This is basically clear.
Huang Jun is not at all polite to Luo Junyan, and he is about to buy the copyright of “Electronic Music Magician”.
The boss of the videotape partner looked sad, and whispered to Luo Junyan: “A Jun, most of my shares are sold to Brother Jun. We are doing the right thing and can’t afford to provoke these bosses.”
Huang Jun ate the food without raising his head, and said: “1 million. You are a big star, I have to give some face.”
Luo Junyan was extremely upset because of Bian Sicong’s beating, and said coldly: “Brother Jun, you are now a major shareholder of the cooperative company. You must have read the previous accounts. In April, the video tapes were shipped. 430,000 boxes, my copyright income is 2.355 million, and I can’t sell 1 million.”
Luo Junyan paused for a moment, and then said: “I respect you as the big brother of Jianghu. The price is 20 million Hong Kong dollars.”
The thug behind Huang Jun stared, drew a long knife from his back, gestured and said: “Which do you think you are? A stinky actor, shameless, your mother, today I see if you can get out of here. A restaurant.”
Luo Junyan’s heartbeat quickened, but his expression remained unchanged, and said, “I am an actor, but I am a rich actor.”
Luo Junyan stared at the thugs, and said, “I came in today and didn’t plan to go out. Someone will avenge me after I die. If you can’t kill me today, then I would rather not leave the Snowman Times Building. Who will take you with your family? Cut it clean and I will give the mansion to someone. I don’t believe it. In Asia, hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars can’t buy the desperadoes from all walks of life?”
Huang Jun stared at Luo Junyan ferociously, and the thugs who gestured with the knife didn’t dare to attack easily.
The original boss of the partner, with his legs trembling, said quickly: “Everyone has something to say, and something to say. Ajun, the club is also a rule, not to move your family.”
Luo Junyan glanced at him and said, “Which in the entertainment industry doesn’t know that I am the most unruly? If you all have no fathers, no mothers, no children, and no horses. Then I admit it and take it. Did not earn, only one life in exchange for one life.”
Huang Jun stared at Luo Junyan, feeling that his expression was indifferent, really not like a bluff.
That’s hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, let alone hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, that is, only tens of millions, and a large number of people will be killed. Especially if your parents, wives and children are dead, you can’t help how many horses you have.
Huang Jun raised his hand to let the thugs take back the machete, and said, “5 million. If you don’t nod, then I’m going to test how powerful a few hundred million are.”
The former boss next to him took Luo Junyan’s arm with his hands trembling, and said, “A Jun, just accept it when you see it.”
Luo Junyan took a deep breath and said, “5 million, plus you owe me a favor.”
Huang Jun suddenly felt that Luo Junyan was a little bit interesting, and said: “As long as I can do it, I will pay you back.”
Luo Junyan stood up and said, “Brother Jun, I have already paid for this table. It won’t affect your mood for eating anymore. Go ahead.”
After Luo Junyan left the boss, the thugs said: “Big Brother, 5 million is not a small amount.”
Huang Jun said: “We don’t need to worry about money. Has the murderous gesture behind this kid been found?”
The thug lowered his head and said, “Brother, we have checked all the way on the road, it shouldn’t be the power here.”
Huang Junneng sat in the seat of Tsim Sha Tsui’s hall master, but he was not foolish. What he fears most is actually the assassin group hiding in the dark. The master who assassinated Bai Touhua at the time was very impressive in the underworld of Xiangjiang.
Huang Jun shook his head slightly, and decided to act according to the rules this time, and no more extravagances.
In this way, Snowman Century Entertainment finally got 5 million yuan, and had to sell the hen who laid the golden eggs. Even so, the company’s accounts still have more than 16 million in cash, and 5.5 million was transferred away from the filming of “Flu”.
