The Sick and Weak Horse Dressed As a Villain - Chapter 111

As soon as Lu Handong died, Wu Zhunyun was arrested again, and Tengxing fell away. Originally, Tengxing was the largest film company. There were more than a thousand people from all walks of life, including martial arts and actors, and they all had to find another home for a while. Nowadays, the film industry is one of the hottest industries in Hong Kong. It is in the ascendant period. Film companies are springing up like bamboo shoots every year, and the competition is fierce. Many companies look at the timing and grab people at low prices.

Only Wennan remained unmoved and concentrated on preparing new movies. Only a month later, he established the first professional brokerage company in Hong Kong to implement the celebrity brokerage model. In the past, celebrities only signed film contracts, business and packaging promotion were all done by themselves. Big celebrities could hire specialists to take care of them. It’s also easy to say that some of the less famous actors are family workshops and they are very irregular.

The agency is completely new to the showbiz, but after Li Xingchen and Su Zhizhi, who issued a statement that they had severed ties with their cousin, were double-signed by them, many celebrities have extended their olive branches to Wennan.

Qiao Wen and Chen Jianan carefully selected a dozen of them and included them under their banners.

The launch of the two new films and the rapid expansion of the company’s business made them both very busy. Qiao Wen was in charge of the company’s business, and Chen Jianan was in charge of filming and production, and the division of labor and coordination, often for several days, could not see each other. The dating between the two of them was completely lonely.

Fortunately, I got busy and gained a lot. Although Wennan Films only released the first film of “Breaking the World”, after the operation of the agency, within two months, it signed a dozen actors and received millions. The company and the actors have made a lot of money even if they don’t film the business contract, and both parties are very satisfied.

Wennan Pictures is completely firmly established in the film industry.

At the end of the year, two films were released at the same time, one is “Brave the World” and the other “Chaotic City” is based on the theme of gang and business war in Hong Kong. Although the themes of the two films are different, they both sell well at the box office. Especially in “Chaotic City”, it is about the collusion of gangsters, police and wealthy people, drug trafficking and money laundering, manipulation of the stock market and property market, and even the Legislative Council and Parliament. Because the subject matter is bold and realistic, it is almost empty for a time.

This script is still written by Guan Zhenbao, and all the materials are provided by reporter Zhang Da. As a paparazzi with investigative ability as a CIA agent, he has collected a lot of black and white and the secrets of rich circles in the past two years, although it is true. Fake, but it’s enough to make up a movie’s information.

This theme was not popular before, because the black and white family had nothing to shoot. Now the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established, the Kowloon Walled City was swept, Lu Handong fell, and the sacked Inspector Hong fled to Taiwan. These are all ready-made good themes.

The gangster police in the movie all have prototypes, but there is only a mysterious rich man who will only be a behind-the-scenes trader from the beginning to the end, and he did not show up until the end of the movie.

The original intention of the film is just to leave a suspense, if the response is good, you can make the second one. At the beginning, the audience thought so too. It was just a report in a lace tabloid at the time of the show-“Exclusive Secret < Who is Mr. Z in the City of Chaos?” “Mysterious Five Lords Come to the Surface” Mr. Z is the code name of the mysterious wealthy businessman in the film.

Guan Zhenbao didn’t even know what the fifth master was. When writing the script, Mr. Z was just a fictional character without any prototype at all. In order to get the next one, Qiao Wen knew that there was a mysterious fifth master in Hong Kong. God, but he didn’t connect Mr. Z and Wu Ye in the film at all.

Although this report was just a gimmick in the title, the true identity of Wu Ye never surfaced from beginning to end, but the mysterious name of Wu Ye is well known. In the next few days, the most popular headline in various tabloids was “Who is Wu Ye?”

When Qiao Wen realized that something was wrong, public opinion could no longer control. Even when he went to a teahouse for a meal, he could hear people discussing who Wu Ye was. Several top wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong, from Lin Zihui’s father Lin Zhaoming to Jiushu Zhou Chaozheng, have all become suspects.

Qiao Wen didn’t know who Wu Ye was, and he was not even sure if he was a wealthy businessman. But knowing the trouble, Wen Nan not only offended a few wealthy businessmen who were pushed to the forefront, but also offended the real Wu Ye.

When he was resting in the villa that day, he suddenly received a call from Lin Zhaoming.

“Awen, the water in Hong Kong City is very deep. You are newcomers, so you must pay more attention. If you offend someone who can’t be offended, it will be in trouble.”

Hearing this, Qiao Wen’s first thought-Could Lin Zhaoming be the fifth master? But it’s not right. In the original story, Lin Zhaoming belched as soon as he came out. How could he be such a mysterious character.

He tentatively said, “Boss Lin, are you talking about the fifth master?”

Lin Zhaoming laughed: “You don’t need to ask me. I don’t know who the fifth master is. I only know that he is a character who can turn his hands for the cloud and cover his hands for the rain. Your movie is like this now, I’m afraid it has been offended. I don’t want to find a chance to make up for it.”

Qiao Wen smiled bitterly: “We really didn’t insinuate, and somehow came up with this lace report, and it was so big. Thank you, Boss Lin, for reminding me. I will take care of it.”

Lin Zhaoming smiled: “Awen, since ancient times, heroes were born in youth. You and Anan are rising stars in Hong Kong city. The speed of their heads has never been seen in these years. The big tree attracts the wind, don’t you understand? The city is intricately rooted, you must be cautious in your actions, otherwise I don’t know when it becomes a **** manipulated by others.”

Qiao Wen said: “Thank you, boss Lin.”

“Okay, I just called to remind you that you and Anan are friends with Zihui. I hope you children are well. I also hope that if Zihui encounters any difficulties in the future, you can help him.”

“Don’t worry, I will.”

Hanging up the phone, he called Chen Canan who was practicing boxing on the balcony.

“What’s wrong?”

Qiao Wen said: “A dad Gangzihui called to remind us to be careful.”

Chen Jianan: “Fifth Lord’s matter?”

Qiao Wen nodded: “Imagine if you had been mysterious for many years, even if you were a gang boss who worked for you, you only know your name, but you don’t know who you are. But one day, because of a movie, you are all over the city. I know, although I don’t know who it is, everyone is speculating and discussing. Are you worried about anger?”

Chen Jianan pondered for a moment, and said: “It is true. The five masters don’t know who it is. Seeing that he is so capable, if he really angers us, he is secretly revealing us, wouldn’t we be in danger?”

Qiao Wendao: “He is involved in arms and has cooperation with the Vietnamese military. When involved in drugs, he has a great relationship with the Southeast Asian drug king. An arrogant person like Lu Handong is nothing more than his white glove. As for Inspector Hong, it is estimated that he is a bit shorter than him. For so many years, his identity has not been revealed, and one can imagine how powerful he is. If he really provokes him, it may be difficult for us to deal with.”

Chen Jianan looked open, and said indifferently: “Why don’t you care about it, we didn’t mean it, it’s a big deal to make a statement.”

Qiao Wen shook his head: “At this time, I was a little bit trying to cover up. I can only let Zhenbao spoil the identity of Mr. Z first, so that this identity does not seem to have anything to do with the fifth master.”

Chen Jianan nodded: “This is a way, or Xiao Qiao, you are smart.”

As soon as the voice fell, the phone rang again, and Qiao Wen reached out to take it.

“Mr. Qiao Wen?” There was an unfamiliar and polite male voice on the other end of the phone.

“Yes, who are you?”

“I am the messenger of the fifth master.”

Qiao Wen’s pupils shrank: “Fifth Lord?”

“Yes.”

Qiao Wen hurriedly said: “That’s right, can you tell Wu Ye, Mr. Z in our movie absolutely did not map him, the screenwriter will spoil the character in advance, and let the audience know that it has nothing to do with Wu Ye. .”

The man said: “Mr. Qiao, now the name of the fifth master is known throughout the city, do you think it is useful to make up for it?”

Qiao Wen said: “But this is really a misunderstanding, and we have never insinuated it.”

“Mr. Qiao, I won’t be circumspect with you here. The amount in your movie must be derived from Lu Handong’s account book, right? It was shot for the fifth master, right? The fifth master has already seen it. When it’s there, you can speak directly what you want. The fifth master is very optimistic about you. If you are willing, he can support you and leave the big business to you in the future. If you have any other plans, the fifth master advises you to get rid of it as soon as possible Thought, otherwise it will be the next Lu Handong.”

After the other party’s words came down, Qiao Wen, whose mind had always been turning fast, was confused. He subconsciously said, “Lu Handong?”

“Yes, Lu Handong was too ambitious and wanted to find out the true identity of the fifth master, so he was regarded as an abandoned son by the fifth master. Lu Handong died not because he had a grudge with you, but because the fifth master wanted him to die and borrowed yours. It’s just a hand.”

Qiao Wen suddenly broke into a cold sweat, and suddenly thought of Lin Zhaoming’s “manipulated pawns” just now. It turned out that they had already become other people’s pawns. He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and asked, “What ledger did you just say?”

“Lu Handong’s account book has been unknown since his death. Wu Ye has been looking for it. Since it is in your hands, you just want to use it as a bargaining chip. Now you can talk about what you want to talk about.”

Qiao Wen said: “Sir, please tell Wu Ye, we don’t know what ledger he said, let alone in our hands. You found the wrong person.”

The other party chuckled, “The amount in the movie is exactly the same as in the ledger. You wouldn’t say it was a coincidence?”

Qiao Wen was silent for a moment and said: “…What if I say it is indeed a coincidence?”

“Mr. Qiao, I’m just a messenger, so I won’t talk too much nonsense. Since Lord Wu takes the initiative to contact you, he is to give you a chance. You guys think about it. I will call you again later.”

After speaking, I hung up.

Qiao Wen heard the beep from the opposite side, thought for a moment, and quickly dialed Guan Zhenbao’s phone: “Zhenbao, let me ask you something.”

Guan Zhenbao: “What’s the matter, Awen?”

Qiao Wen said: “Did you fabricate the various amounts in the script of “Chaotic City” or refer to the information given to you by Zhang Jiaming?”

Guan Zhenbao: “I don’t have any idea about money, so I took it directly from the information.”

“Okay, I see.”

Qiao Wen hurriedly dialed Zhang Jiaming’s phone. He was lucky. This veteran journalist is rarely at home at this time.

“Reporter Zhang Da, good evening.”

“Awen? Is something wrong?”

“It’s a bit of a problem. You used Zhenbao to make the “Chaotic City” script data. Where did the figures come from?”

Reporter Zhang said: “Oh, this, it was a somewhat anonymous revelation that the newspaper received before, and I gave it to Zhenbao directly.”

“Okay, I see.”

“Any questions?”

“It’s okay, are you busy.”

Qiao Wen hung up the phone, frowning his handsome eyebrows.

“Xiao Qiao, what’s the matter?” Chen Jianan had just listened to a few calls with his ears erected. Although confused, he knew that things had become complicated.

Qiao Wen raised his head to meet his eyes, and said word by word: “Brother Nan, someone took Lu Handong’s account book and made the fifth master misunderstand us. It is likely that he wants to use the fifth master to engage us.”

“Avenging for Lu Handong?”

Qiao Wen shook his head: “I don’t know, but we have to find a way to either find the ledger or find out the identity of the fifth master.”
