Chapter 21 Smart People Go Further "I can pay you according to the market price, so don't worry." Lin Zehao would never do such a tasteless thing as hiring someone to film a movie without paying them. What's more, he still has enough money. Zhou Runfa shook his head and said sincerely, "Mr. Lin, just give me a friendship price. When I act in a friend's play, I always charge a friendship price." "From now on, as long as you need a play, I will definitely come whenever you call, but next time, please don't bother Brother Qiang to pick me up, I can come by myself..." Lin Zehao was a little surprised, and the smile on his lips was meaningful. If anyone says that Zhou Runfa’s acting is bad in the future, he will definitely criticize the person to death. At least at this moment, Chow Yun-fat's acting skills are definitely worthy of a little golden man! No wonder Zhou Runfa’s career path was so smooth in his previous life, he really had some extraordinary qualities.
However, Lin Zehao has always liked dealing with smart people, so even if it's a bit deliberate, it's harmless. "Okay, Ah Fa, can I call you that?" Zhou Runfa nodded repeatedly. "Since you treat me as a friend, I will treat you as a friend too. I will write you a check for the pay for this film. You can fill in any amount you want." At this point, Lin Zehao took out his checkbook, signed his name, handed it to the other party, and continued: "If you encounter any difficult problems in the future, you can come to me." Zhou Runfa quickly stood up, straightened his clothes very formally, took the check with both hands, and bowed respectfully to Lin Zehao. "Mr. Lin, thank you for your care. Thank you." After this series of events, Zhou Runfa realized that if he wanted to achieve long-term and healthy development in the entertainment industry, he must have a social background. And the background must be strong enough! This time I can use Black Star to "invite" him to film, and next time I can use someone else to use Bullet to pull him into the crew. "A Better Tomorrow" is a serious drama, and Lin Zehao is also an open-minded and rule-abiding boss. Zhou Runfa is lucky. If I meet a despicable guy next time and he takes a spray gun and asks me to shoot an exposed erotic film, would you do it or not? You know, in the entertainment industry, it's easy to take off clothes and expose yourself. But putting clothes on again is extremely difficult. So, now that he has the opportunity, Chow Yun-fat chose to hold on to Lin Zehao's thigh without hesitation! Compared with the protection of Hesheng and Longtou, this amount of remuneration is probably not worth mentioning. "Afa, you don't have to be polite to one another." "I want to ask Zhang Fazong and Tan Fulong to play these two supporting male roles. What do you think?" Lin Zehao really appreciated Zhou Runfa's behavior of just thanking him but not making any grand ambitions. Having lived for two lifetimes, what kind of people has he not seen? Most of the time, people who make all kinds of promises in normal times fail to accomplish anything when the critical moment comes. Zhou Runfa thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Lin, these two people fit the roles very well in terms of their appearance."
"I know Zhang Fazong, a new artist from Polydor Records. He has sung many episodes for TV dramas, but has never acted before. Now he has the opportunity to appear on the big screen. He is so happy that he will definitely agree." "Tan Fulong is not easy to deal with. After all, he has been famous for many years and may not be interested in this kind of role." After thinking for a while, Zhou Runfa continued: "But since he stopped working with Chang Cheh, he rarely plays the role of a hero, and his popularity is not as high as before." "And I know some inside information. I heard from others that he seems to be losing some hair now. It is said that the senior management of Shaw Brothers has leaked that they will not renew his contract." "Hair loss? This is a big blow to a guy who is known for his good looks." Lin Zehao knew about Tan Fulun’s hair loss, but at that time, he was looking at it from the perspective of a spectator. Now that I am personally involved in it, I feel a special sense of satisfaction. "That's right, Mr. Lin has a very good eye." Chow Yun-fat first flattered him a little, and continued: "This almost cuts off his way to play handsome roles in the future. If this rumor is true, I am sure I can convince Tan Fulong to take on the role of Song Zihao." Strictly speaking, Chow Yun-fat also pursues the appearance route, so he knows the consequences of hair loss best. Stars who pursue good looks mostly attract fans of the opposite sex. Let me ask you, are there any girls who like boys with Mediterranean hair and kiss the heroine passionately on the screen? After substituting it in, you will get the answer immediately. "Well, that's all for you." This is also one of the reasons why Lin Zehao asked Zhou Runfa to curry favor with him. He always needs an insider in the entertainment industry to handle similar things. You can't just hire someone with the Black Star every time you shoot a movie in the future, right? Having someone like Zhou Runfa acting as a lobbyist is the best choice. On the other side, Li Wenbin also called Wu Yusen over. After a brief chat, the other party happily took over the director's job. Wu Yusen was not happy in Golden Harvest in recent years as the company forced him to shoot comedies that he did not like. Now if I have the opportunity to shoot a gun battle movie, I know what to choose with my eyes closed. As for the company's community background, Wu Yusen doesn't care, or he is already accustomed to it. Nowadays, no matter what you do in Hong Kong Island, you have to get involved with community groups. From council elections to valet parking, community groups are involved in everything. Wu Yusen is just a director and makes movies, it’s no big deal. A few days later, good news came from Zhou Runfa. Zhang Fazong took the role almost without thinking twice, and although Tan Fulong put in some effort, he signed the contract. Once the main actors are cast, just leave the remaining minor roles to the director. For Lin Zehao, the purpose of establishing Hutchison Entertainment was nothing more than making money while expanding his social influence. He doesn't have time to waste on such trivial matters.
What's more, the younger brother who had been keeping an eye on Feilong's movements also sent in the news. …… Parkes Street, Yau Ma Tei. Wo Shing Wo Yau Tsim Mong Main Hall. A thin young man was pacing back and forth, muttering something, but his voice was too soft to be heard clearly. "Ah Le, don't be too nervous. Brother Hao is very easy to talk to and very approachable." "If you walk a few more laps, I'll feel dizzy." Yang Chengrong sat on a chair, drinking tea, and said comforting words. "Brother Rong, this is the leader! And Brother Hao is the youngest leader in the history of Heshenghe. How can I not be nervous?" Although Lin Huaile stopped spinning, his legs were still trembling slightly. For a guy like him, a member of a big gang, he might never have the chance to meet the leader in his lifetime. It's like being a slave in a Fortune 500 company and being summoned for a private meeting by the chairman. This is an almost impossible dream. But now, the dream is about to become reality. "Don't worry, as long as you work hard, Brother Hao will give you a chance." (End of this chapter)
