Hong Kong Entertainment’s Life Simulator

Rain on May 12th.

Near noon, Zhao Donghuai put away the script filled with many sheets of A4 paper, rubbed his wrists and sighed, "I knew I would buy a printer, but I couldn't afford it at first... Besides, I may not know how to use typewriters of this era. If you use it, you probably have to learn it again after buying it.”

"I bought it now, but it's not my money, it's the investors' money."

When he opened the drawer to organize the scripts, he saw hundreds of thousands of cash in the drawer. After thinking about it again, he decided to deposit it in the bank.

The money is increasing day by day, and the number of investment agreements or IOUs is also increasing. Yes, there will be more now. On what day did Zhao Donghuai borrow so-and-so tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands? The contract was drafted to be interest-free. The IOU, which will be returned in full next year, is in his hands.

Investors came to his door and wanted to support him in starting a business and pursuing his dream.

Night after night, the money has increased a lot, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands at every turn...

There was a phone ringing in the living room. Zhao Donghuai had not made any movement yet. He was staring blankly at the big hundreds of thousands, and the slightly swollen Ah Zha quickly came over and said weakly, "Brother Huai? I'm looking for you."

"What do you mean by Wu Zhenyu? Do you want me to get rid of him?"

Zhao Donghuai's eyes lit up, "Wait for me."

When he locked the drawer and went to answer the phone, Lao Wu's voice quickly rang, "Brother Huai? You asked me to help you make an appointment with Brother Fa. I waited for a few days and finally made an appointment. At noon..."

Zhao Donghuai happily communicated with Lao Wu for a while, agreed on a location, and then clapped his hands to celebrate, "With Fa Zai, the role of Ah Cheng has been established."

His New World script has been completed. Not only the overall script, but also the separate protagonist's script has also been copyrighted. In terms of the current Hong Kong entertainment industry, the younger generation can play Li Zicheng, an undercover agent who becomes a super club boss. Dude, kill all your opponents, police bosses, colleagues, etc. in one go.

There really aren't many choices for the leading actor who has risen to become a super boss.

His first impression was of Liang Jiahui, the actor with a thousand faces. The image he created was very strong whether he was with Lian Sheng Big D or Songlin Gang Zhou Chaoxian.

But Ah Fai was filming the burning of the Old Summer Palace.

Fortunately, Fa Ge is not bad either. How can he say that his portrayal of Xu Wenqiang from Shanghai Beach is bad?

"Originally I wanted Fa Ge to play Ding Qing, but now I have to re-screen. The key is that it's cheap... Now it's a box-office poison. But then I read A Better Tomorrow and liked the script so much that I joined without any pay."

"Of course, he meant that he didn't need any salary, but the crew still gave him 200,000 yuan. After the box office hit, he also gave him a big red envelope. That was still three years later in 1986. I can just imitate it now. I have to save the upfront money. .”

"There is a rumor in the grapevine that he followed the director for as long as the filming took. He cooperated throughout the whole process without any complaints, and that's why he was constantly added to the role from a supporting role to one of the protagonists. I don't know if this is true or not."

The more he thought about it, the happier he became. Zhao Donghuai packed up and went out with his backpack on his back. In order to prevent Ah Zha, the street boy from causing trouble, he took hundreds of thousands with him when he left.

The backpacks are very big, the ones that cost a thousand Hong Kong dollars each, and the ones that cost hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars don’t take up much space.

When he arrived at the appointed restaurant, as soon as he walked to the door of the private room, he saw Wu Zhenyu who was pouring tea for Fa Ge and another man. He quickly ran over and greeted with a smile, "Brother Huai."

Zhao Donghuai walked in with a smile and said enthusiastically, "Brother Fa, thank you for the favor. You must eat and drink well today."

Zhou Runfa, who was as tall as Zhao Donghuai, smiled and stood up to shake hands, "I don't dare to take it seriously. Mr. Zhao is too polite. This is my good friend A Wei..."

Zhao Donghuai laughed and stretched out his hand, "Shanghai Tang Dingli, I have admired you for a long time."

He was very warm and polite, and with Wu Zhenyu, a younger brother who had become a big brother, working in a low position, the atmosphere between the two of them quickly became familiar, and of course, it was also on the surface.

After sitting down and taking a few sips of tea, Zhao Donghuai took out the script of "The Actor Li Zicheng" in the New World from his backpack, "Brother Fa, I asked Ayu to please help me. There is a film I want you to film. Please take a look first." script?"

Zhou Runfa asked curiously, "Movie?"

His TV appointments have always been with TVB, and outsiders have nothing to do with him other than movies. It's just that he has been a box office poison for several years, and outsiders are looking for him less and less to make movies.

The next moment, he took the script with both hands and said with a smile, "I'll take a look first."

When he entered the reading mode, Wu Zhenyu was shocked and curious, "Brother Huai, do you really want to start a play? A movie? What kind of play?"

Lu Liangwei also looked curious.

Zhao Donghuai explained with a smile, "The gang drama is different from Shanghai Tang. It is a modern fashion gang. It tells the story of a super fierce man who appeared in big clubs such as Xinji, 14th Dui, and Hutchison in the 1980s and unified all the forces in Hong Kong Island. , not only became the only big leader, but also transformed the group into a pan-Asian group covering industries such as construction, logistics, entertainment, finance, and international trade.”

"Before that, a senior police inspector sent an undercover agent inside. Undercover Ah Cheng worked hard for many years and has become one of the directors of Pan Asia Group."

"At the time of the great changes in the society, Da Longtou was killed. In order to compete for the new throne, the original directors, such as Xinji, 14 Dui, and Hutchison, fought and killed each other. Hundreds of people hacked each other, shot at each other, and competed with Hutchison. The selection of a new leader is even more chaotic, and the police also want to take this opportunity to promote Ah Cheng as the chairman and leader."

"Then you can control the entire Pan-Asia Group by controlling undercover Ah Cheng."

"A Cheng has experienced various oppressions and manipulations by his police superiors, the death of his brother, the betrayal of his subordinates and his wife and friends, being chased by his opponents, and other great changes. In the end, he wanted to be a good person, so he killed all his opponents and all the police officers who knew about it. , became the new chairman who controls Pan Asia Group and suppresses the black and white factions in Hong Kong."

On the South Korean side of the New World, the Beidamen Sect, the Jaehu Sect, the Imperial Sun Sect, and other large groups all over South Korea formed the Kinmen Society, with presidents, directors and other representatives as leading talkers.

There is no difficulty in changing it to a Hong Kong film. Just replace it with Hong Hing, East Star, and Lian Sheng to form the Pan Asia International Group.

The second male lead, Ding Qing, the first brother of Beidamen, is the most powerful competitor for the new leader after the death of the old president Longtou. Li Zicheng’s good brother and big brother...it was clearly found out that Li Zicheng was a police undercover, and he was beheaded to death. He also doesn’t want to mess with Ah Cheng, and is willing to transfer the leading position to Ah Cheng after his death, and advises him to be less kind and cruel in the future.

This is also a good big brother full of sparkle.

Originally he wanted to find Ah Fa, but now that Ah Fa was cast as Li Zicheng, he thought he could ask Wan Ziliang to try out Ding Qing.

As for Li Zhongjiu, the boss of the Tiger Sect after the death of the old leader Elder Toulong? Isn’t Lu Liangwei a choice now? ?

Just change your name to Director Li Zhongjiu... There is no need to change the names of Li Zicheng and Ding Qing.

After briefly explaining the main line of the story, Zhao Donghuai once again took out Li Zhongjiu's script, "Awei, it's better to arrive early than to arrive late. This is the first time I've negotiated with an actor since the script was finalized and the copyright was registered. Can you take a look?"

Zhou Runfa, Wan Ziliang, and Lu Liangwei will play the roles. As long as they show their strength, they will not be worse than the South Korean version.

Lu Liangwei was flattered and hurriedly stood up and took it with both hands, feeling a little overwhelmed with excitement.

Don't blame him for his lack of determination. After Shanghai Tang became popular, he was still under the suppression of Fa Ge, Qiu Guan and others in the TV industry. He also had to cooperate with TVB to promote Huang Rihua, Liu Dehua, Liang Chaowei and other newcomers.

In the TV world, he is an embarrassing middle wave. He is still far away from the front wave, and a group of back wave is about to crush him to death.

Film industry? That's a pure one-man trick.

Lian Fa Ge has been a box office poison for many years, and he even committed suicide for love at the end of last year.

Lu Liangwei did not usher in the spring of the post-Fab Five era until 1985, when Andy Lau was frozen out by TVB in order to fight against the Overlord contract.

Now in May 1983, someone was looking for him to act in a movie, or was it an important role? It was so exciting. If it were anyone else, he might not have much confidence, hearing this kind of gangster movie? Ding Li, who became famous for his work in Shanghai, is also the eldest brother of the society.

When Lu Liangwei thanked him excitedly, drank two glasses of beer and started reading the script, Wu Zhenyu also poured wine for Zhao Donghuai excitedly, "Brother Huai, I... look... I..."

Zhao Donghuai was speechless, "You can't do it now, your acting skills are too young."

Fa Ge is a member of the 73rd training class and has been in the industry for ten years. Counting his minor roles, he has appeared in more than 60 TV series and nearly 20 movies.

Even though the movie was basically a box office hit, many of it received good reviews, and his acting skills have been proven for a long time. Lu Liangwei's acting skills may be a bit young, but he has a lot of experience playing the role of a club boss.

None of them can be compared to the current Lao Wu.

Seeing Wu Zhenyu's disappointed and depressed expression, he said helplessly, "Okay, who makes me a good person? I have a small supporting role, you can try it."

Being a good person in this day and age means it is easy to have many friends.
