Chapter 056 What a sin! Do the Su family not give away peanuts?!
Some time later, in an office of Golden Harvest, Joey Wong, Li Jiaxin, and Andy Lau met David together.
Old Luo, who was not young anymore, was impatiently instructing his secretary to make coffee.
After lighting a large cigar, he forced a smile and said to Joey Wong, "Joey, could you ask for me if Mr. Chen is dead or alive?"
"Don't worry, your final payment will be settled today."
Wang Zuxian was stunned. She stood up and pointed to herself, "Me? Who am I supposed to ask?"
Not to mention her, Li Jiaxin and Andy Lau were also very surprised and uncertain.
David Luo took a puff of his cigar and rubbed his temples. "That mad dog guy sent people to Skyworth the day before yesterday to demand protection money from (Kungfu)."
"I don't know what that guy was thinking. Did he lose his mind to be so funny?"
"His henchman, Egg Tart Johnson, swallowed ten peanuts."
"Does the Su family give away peanuts for free? This morning, a mad dog was taken away from its own territory."
"I'm not slandering Nan-ge Ishikyo, I'm just asking you to go and ask him."
Luo Yonghao was speechless. Why was he so angry about such a trivial matter?
Brother Yang from Wanwan, let's arrange for you to try out the RPG directly.
His business partners were originally doing well, such as Andy Lau in "The Emperor's Disciple".
Anyway, we don't need to pay big stars much, so we can just owe them for now.
If you ask me for a debt and keep delaying, who wouldn't become a deadbeat?
In this situation, as long as Mad Dog Chen can get a bunch of celebrities to act in his movies, Hongfa's project will be a sure thing.
In addition to box office revenue in Hong Kong Island, tickets can also be sold to various places in Taiwan.
Luo Yonghao was unaware that Mad Dog had gone to collect protection money from Skyworth, let alone that Mad Dog had any further plans.
I'll definitely try to persuade this fair-weather friend once I find out.
He and Jiahe had always been trying to control Li Lianjie, and they also needed a powerful figure like Old Chen to protect them.
Damn it, Skyworth hasn't signed any of the hottest stars like Andy Lau or Stephen Chow.
Apart from Leung Ka-fai and Rosamund Kwan, there are almost no other people who can make money.
Those two can only make small amounts of money. Are you crazy to go and collect protection money from them?
No matter what follow-up measures you have, being asked to leave directly is unacceptable.
Wang Zuxian and others have finally had their fill of gossip.
Andy Lau and Li Jiaxin have both set their sights on the long-legged Xiaoxian.
Old Wang said weakly, "I'm not familiar with Brother Nan. We discussed business cooperation, but in the end, I wasn't used in the project."
"No matter what, Mr. Luo, your mother is one of the shareholders of Golden Harvest, isn't she?"
Asking her to act as a go-between is a bit of a stretch; you might as well have Lao Luo's mother ask Hong Jinbao.
After his secretary brought him coffee, David Luo took another puff of his cigar and complained, "I'm all grown up, and you expect me to go home and run to my mom when I run into trouble?"
Damn, is she treating him like a mama's boy?
If it weren't for the fact that Li Xin's Lin Jianyue had made public statements, he definitely wouldn't have been so polite.
I still missed it, when Su Nan was working at Golden Harvest for a long time on the post-production of (Kung Fu).
If he had found time to meet, chat, and have a meal, it wouldn't have been so awkward.
At the time, Lao Luo knew that Shi Xiawei Nan Ge was a fierce and ruthless person, and he felt that the other party was too fierce and was known for not following the rules.
This kind of person probably won't live very long.
You offer someone peanuts for every little thing? Do you think people outside the family won't get angry?
Back then, Luo Yonghao had these concerns, which is why he didn't block the door and try to befriend the new big brother. Now, he doesn't dare to disturb him rashly.
What a lunatic! He came to my door and asked if I was going to pay or not, and then he just handed me over a dozen peanuts.
Ten pills are to be swallowed whole, how many are to be taken externally? Seriously?
When Luo Yonghao countered with his question, Joey Wong laughed awkwardly, "Then Mr. Luo, why don't you ask Brother Sanmao?"
For adults, it can be a bit embarrassing to call their parents when something happens.
Luo tapped the table lightly. "That's exactly what I wanted to say. Skyworth and Baoxiang are about to start (the endless cycle)."
"We're planning to cast you, Xiaoxian, as the female lead, using your popularity to promote the newcomer."
"Ask Sanmao when the time comes. All I need to know is whether she's alive or dead."
"It was Brother Nan who recommended you for this role. His taste is pretty normal. You're single, so what if something happens?"
Even if we don't date and just communicate more, Lin Sheng won't protect you.
"Those shady gangsters outside won't easily mess with you, so at least you won't have to worry about not getting paid after filming."
Joey Wong was stunned again; she knew nothing about this.
Well, it's normal that David Luo is the son of a shareholder of Golden Harvest, so he's better informed than her.
Wang Zuxian automatically ignored what Lao Luo said afterward.
"Mr. Rashomon, is the (Never Ending) project a good idea?"
Lao Luo continued smoking his cigar and nodding, "Before (Kung Fu) achieved results, not many people would care about Brother Nan's screenwriting ability."
With Kung Fu Hustle's box office success, the outside world will no longer overlook his screenwriting abilities.
"This new film is different from traditional fashion action or comedy."
"It's the kind of story that's exhilarating from beginning to end, even more so than the martial arts protagonists in Jin Yong and Gu Long's works."
"As long as the publicity and distribution are sufficient, it's not difficult to achieve a box office of HK$1500 million in Hong Kong Island without being overshadowed by big-budget films."
He was speaking from the heart at that moment. Unfortunately, he couldn't copy the homework and steal the spotlight, unless he also wanted to be chased away like a mad dog.
David Luo also had some doubts about whether demanding protection money was a test, especially if Su Nan's reaction was minimal.
Mad Dog Chen might be eyeing Skyworth's scripts in the film industry, intercepting and copying them, and letting pirated versions be released first to make money.
For example, they could continue to cast Andy Lau as the male lead to frantically promote pirated copies.
Andy Lau, Joey Wong, and Li Jiaxin all took a deep breath.
Reaching 1500 million local residents on Hong Kong Island is a success!
Every year, blockbuster films achieve increasingly phenomenal success, but what about the extremely fierce competition?
In 1990, only 16 films grossed over 1500 million at the box office, and that doesn't even include those involved in money laundering!
As of the end of July 1991, only 10 films, including those with the "Kung Fu" theme, had surpassed 15 million views.
(A Chinese Ghost Story 3) has just been released, but it hasn't really taken off despite being overshadowed by Kung Fu Hustle.
While Luo Yonghao may be considered ruthless in his malice, he still possesses a normal perspective as a second-generation celebrity.
This level of film can be considered one of the representative works of Joey Wong and Andy Lau.
After chatting for a while, when Lao Luo saw Wang Zuxian and the others into the elevator, the long-legged Xiao Xian had already received the final payment check for her film salary.
As the elevator descended, the group looked at each other in bewilderment.
As they approached the first floor, Li Jiaxin remarked, "The big shots in the industry are really much more powerful than the wealthy people outside the industry."
It's a pity, she's still trying to fool Liu into divorcing so she can marry into a wealthy family.
The guy from Shixiawei Nan is so young and handsome, rich and has no shortage of beautiful women throwing themselves at him.
Winning over the other person is even more difficult than persuading Liu to divorce.
However, thinking about some of the things Lao Luo said, Ah Xin thought that it might be okay to give Da Liu a hat in private?
No, that's not right. If you can be taken care of by Brother Nan and become unafraid of trouble or being forced to film without getting paid, then you'll be fine.
You might even encounter situations like Rosamund Kwan's, where her film salary skyrockets.
Old Liu, the fan guy, isn't stupid; he'll definitely suspect she cheated on him.
Moreover, she was even scared by Rosamund Kwan when she chatted with her about gossip in private.
It's easy for Nan Ge to impress someone and turn them into Da Gang Jie, but if she were to become Da Gang Jie herself, it would be too easy for the deception to be exposed.
The group stepped out of the elevator and met up with their assistant.
Wang Zuxian's assistant quickly reported that Hong Jinbao had called, and Xiaoxian hurriedly went to make the call.
Andy Lau, "..."
Ah-Hua is currently considering starting his own company and is already discussing cooperation with a Taiwanese man who is willing to support him.
But today's experience suddenly made him doubt his own ability to run a company.
Which is more carefree: signing with Skyworth and being able to be free, or Liang Jiahui?
This time, Lao Luo gave Wang Zuxian the final payment for her film salary, but still didn't give him Ah Hua.
