Chapter 029 Nan-ge from Shixiawei is too ruthless
November 5th, Skyworth headquarters in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Su Nan received Hong Jinbao's call at 8 a.m. Today was the day the crew of "(Remote Control)" was interviewing Leung Ka-fai and Stephen Chow.
The leading actress sent offers to Brigitte Lin, Maggie Cheung, Joey Wong, and Cherie Chung.
The others either lack popularity or their acting skills are not up to par.
However, only Joey Wong came for the interview today.
On the 1st, Hung Kin-po sent invitations to the agents or assistants of these celebrities through a joint production model between Skyworth and Baoxiang.
Old Hong received a reply quickly, but he said that the filming started in 1991, and the exact month was not yet fixed.
The initial responses from male and female celebrities on the 2nd and 3rd were basically about coordinating schedules and seeing how things go.
Only Stephen Chow received an invitation from Lee Hsiu-yin's side, and they immediately replied that they would arrange for Stephen to audition at any time.
Last night, Leung Ka-fai and Joey Wong said they would come to audition this morning.
Su Nan arranged for Stephen Chow's audition to be held in the morning.
When he invited Lao Hong to have tea in his office, Lao Hong asked curiously, "Mr. Su, how much did Li Xiuxian get for selling Stephen Chow's film contracts?"
Rosamund Kwan laughed and said, "The asking price is 70, and I estimate Mr. Li will have to pay out of his own pocket."
Last time it was 100 million, let alone after the God of Gamblers' super big win.
When Su Nan ordered a cigar, he said, "He quoted 70 yuan, but I couldn't be too rude, so I decided to give him 100 million yuan, the same as last time."
Chen Hong said in broken Cantonese, "Yeah, I don't know what happened to Director Li, his approval rating suddenly dropped so much."
Hong Jinbao, "???"
He understood. In the four months since Ah Hong came to Hong Kong, besides her daily studies, she also practiced her Cantonese with Su Nan and Rosamund Kwan at home.
I can't say I speak very fluently now, but I can manage to communicate with people if I speak slowly.
Furthermore, Hong Jinbao and his fellow disciples all learned Mandarin from a young age.
Old Hong was speechless; silence was the Cambridge of today.
After refilling Nan Ge's and Lao Hong's tea, Rosamund Kwan smiled and said, "We (Kung Fu) only paid a deposit."
"I heard that Ah Xing's schedule isn't going smoothly either, it's very tight."
"However, Ah Xing's film offer was proactively offered by Mr. Li, so he probably took the day off to audition today."
"Nan-ge didn't do anything, did he?"
Old Hong wanted to thank Rosamund Kwan when he served her tea.
Fortunately, he remembered that this was his niece whom he had helped up, so he could only awkwardly drink his tea and steal a glance at Su Nan.
A man named Ma's villa suddenly exploded, and he explained that it was because he wanted to put on a fireworks display to create a romantic atmosphere for someone he was pursuing.
Then, the mismanagement of the fireworks storage led to a massive explosion.
Regardless of whether the police believed it or not, and regardless of whether the explosion at the time frightened the neighbors.
So far, aside from an accidental explosion and the Oriental Daily News' one-day suspension of publication the day before yesterday, there has been no other significant news.
Not many people outside the area know the truth.
He knew some of the truth and could still remain calm because he had seen a lot of big things in Moscow.
So even Rosamund Kwan and Chen Hong don't know?
Actually, there's nothing wrong with it. Ultimately, this kind of thing is a crime, so there's no need to say more.
Theoretically, if they are unaware of the truth, they are law-abiding citizens who are untainted by any shady dealings.
Su Nan changed the subject, "Ah Xing is on leave from the (God of Gamblers) film crew."
"Is Ah-Wing still busy? Has he finished filming 'Days of Being Wild'?"
When this was mentioned, Hung Kin-po couldn't help but laugh, "Days of Being Wild really wore Ah-wing out, he even went to Canada to recuperate for a while."
"We were called back for reshoots, but thankfully we're finally close to wrapping up filming."
"However, after filming Ah Fei, filming for (Once a Thief) has also started."
Hong Kong Island has become increasingly chaotic in the past two years.
But the transformation into Shixiawei Nan Ge is far too ruthless.
When Lao Hong was drinking tea and chatting, he could only suspect Zhang Guorong and Xu Guanwen.
Furthermore, Lin Qingxia, Chung Chuh-hung, and Zhang Manyu were unaware of the Ma family villa bombing.
Knowing this, they will most likely react the same way as Leung Ka-fai and Joey Wong!
Something's not quite right, because Leung Ka-fai, Brigitte Lin, Cherie Chung, and Joey Wong all have Chan Tze-keung as their current manager.
Old Chen was a sworn brother of Deng Guangrong, Qin Xianglin and others in the 70s.
He served as a senior executive at Golden Harvest in the 80s and has always been Jackie Chan's most trusted partner.
By establishing a film and television agency, he managed to acquire almost all the stars except for those who were their own bosses, as well as a few superstars such as Cheung Kwok-wing and Rosamund Kwan.
Old Chen must have heard the news; the other party will either not make any arrangements or make all of them.
What does it mean to only invite Leung Ka-fai and Joey Wong for the interview?
Su Nan took a puff of his cigar. "Liang Jiahui is a very good actor, and he can also look handsome if he's serious."
"And he's still the cheapest among these male stars, right?"
Leung Ka-fai is now cheaper than Stephen Chow.
Su Nan also remembered that a few months later, Ahui was filming (The Lover) when he was kidnapped and taken away to film (Fire Island).
These things are outrageous.
Old Hong nodded. "Jia Hui is cheap. As for image, Stephen Chow is the most likable right now, but he's a bit too young to look at.
The claim that Leung Ka-fai is cheaper than Stephen Chow is that most people can't buy a film contract from Lee Sau-yin for less than 100 million.
Remote Control isn't just a comedy; it also has plenty of heartwarming and tear-jerking moments for the whole family.
In particular, the male protagonist discovers that he is bound by a remote control, and in a flash, many years have passed, and his wife has married someone else.
In the blink of an eye, several years have passed, and his children have suddenly grown up, while he has become an old man.
Even Hung Kam-po couldn't say which of these actors would give the best performance in this kind of semi-serious drama.
The two companies split the profits 60/40.
Su Nan was unsure whether to become a director, and Sanmao's own work was also quite flexible.
Before 8:30, Liang Jiahui, Zhou Xingchi, and then Wang Zuxian arrived one after another while they were chatting and laughing.
Wang Zuxian called Rosamund Kwan to get some information before coming over.
The entire Skyworth building is 200 square meters, but the boss's office is a full 50 square meters.
The rest area can seat multiple people. In addition to the complete script, Rosamund Kwan also distributes individual scripts for the male and female leads.
Before reading the script, a confidentiality agreement must be signed, and the script's ideas must not be disclosed.
Hong Jinbao greeted Ah Hui and Ah Xing with jokes and laughter.
On the other side, Rosamund Kwan greeted Joey Wong, but after a few words, the atmosphere felt a bit strange.
She seized an opportunity to pull Wang Zuxian aside and asked with a smile, "Xiaoxian, what's wrong with you? Are you too nervous?"
"We were quite relaxed when we met with Director Xu last time, so let's keep it the same as last time."
Xiao Xian was speechless, feeling a little guilty and hesitant to even glance at Sister Bai Guan.
In August, Ah Shun was surrounded and provoked by more than a dozen thugs from Wo Kee, but he easily killed them all with a small knife.
You wouldn't have known unless Cheng Xiaodong mentioned it, and now it's happening again?!
This is the first agent's standard response after receiving a contract offer from Hung Kim Po.
I thought this project wouldn't be discussed again in the short term, since the start date in 91 was still uncertain.
But then that unlucky old man, Lin Jianyue, suddenly told Wang Zuxian that someone had used an RPG to blow up Ma's villa, according to the Oriental Daily News.
It appears to have published gossip and rumors about Su Nan, and even used sarcasm and veiled criticism against him.
Oriental Daily News: Is Ma, a media mogul, able to publish a news article that doesn't quite fit his taste and get directly banned?
This wasn't said by Chen Ziqiang, but by Lin Jianyue.
Old Lin also said that even the police didn't know whether they should investigate or not, and that if they did, Oriental Daily would deny that such a thing happened.
Tracking down RPG thieves is too dangerous, and there are internal disagreements.
You, Shixiawei Nan-ge, suddenly decide to treat someone to peanuts without warning? Now, RPGs?
The tall and handsome Xiaoxian wants to complain that Rosamund Kwan can really sleep soundly with a man like that?
On the other hand, she encountered Leung Ka-fai on her way here? Brother Fai looked completely unaware of the situation, as if he was there for a serious audition.
Joey Wong's mindset is somewhat complicated.
She wasn't even sure if her agent, Chan Tze-keung, knew about the bombing of Boss Ma's villa.
Joey Wong gave an awkward but polite smile. "Sister Zhi, will you make a cameo appearance? We don't think we've worked together much before."
Rosamund Kwan laughed, "The female lead has a best friend who's obsessed with plastic surgery, and I don't think that's a good image for her."
The project is good and can promote people. If Hung Kam-po directs and stars in it, she definitely won't get to play the lead role.
Sanmao wants to play a married couple with Gao Lihong on the big screen.
If Su Nan were to direct, Rosamund Kwan's acting skills would still be somewhat lacking.
