Looking at the introduction on the business card, the man's name was Cai Xiaodong, a director from Shaw Brothers. Li Yiqiang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and glanced at the fat man opposite him.
At this time, the film and television industry was not as popular as it would be in later generations, and it felt quite mysterious and high-end.
"Assistant director, assistant director, little brother smoking a cigarette." Cai Xiaodong smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, sat down and handed Li Yiqiang a cigarette, looked at his tough image, and said: "If you are interested, you can come to our place to act
I’m playing a small role for a while, it just so happens that we recently opened a new movie and need people.”
"Can I also act in a movie?" Li Yiqiang pointed at himself in surprise, thinking he was joking. Can he be an actor so casually?
"Others may not necessarily do it, but if you want to act, you can definitely do it." Cai Xiaodong said complacently: "Don't think I'm just the assistant director, but I'm in charge of everything in the crew. I definitely can't decide the protagonist, but some minor
You still have the final say in the role, and you are such a handsome guy, wouldn’t it be easy to get a role?”
"Do you have the money?" Li Yiqiang, who didn't know what to do, his eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Um?"
Cai Xiaodong looked at him carefully. His body was sweating and his face looked tired. He thought of the agency companies nearby and suddenly understood: "Little brother, are you looking for a job?"
"yes."
Li Yiqiang smiled calmly.
When Cai Xiaodong heard this, he was immediately touched in his heart. A young man who didn't even have a job certainly didn't have much money, but he still helped him pay for his meals. This brother was indeed worth making friends with.
So he became even more enthusiastic, patted his chest and said: "Brother, why don't you come and hang out with me? I can't guarantee anything else. You can definitely make money. Although it won't be too much, it's better than working in a factory."
"I won't trouble you, brother, will you?" Li Yiqiang was quite moved and quickly took out a lighter and lit a cigarette.
"It's not troublesome. You have to find someone to work anyway, so who can't be used?" Cai Xiaodong asked with a smile: "How about it? Are you interested? If so, come with me. Let's go do something with me first, and then
Let’s go to the Clear Water Bay studio together.”
"Okay, please wait for me." Li Yi quickly lowered his head and quickly plucked the barbecued pork rice on the plate a few times. It went into his stomach within a few mouthfuls. Then he wiped his mouth with grease, took out his wallet and paid, and joined Cai Xiaodong.
Come out of the restaurant.
The two of them first met with a composer, negotiated an invitation to play the title song, then went to Tsim Sha Tsui to pick up some costumes and props, and then took a bus to the Clear Water Bay studio.
After arriving at the place to send the props to the warehouse, Cai Xiaodong took Li Yiqiang to a studio and talked to the director about the situation.
Upon hearing this, the other party thought that this guy was a good guy. After getting to know him in detail, he found that he actually knew how to punch and kick. In addition, he was quite photogenic. Just because of Cai Xiaodong's face, he changed the script on the spot and added a "not light" character.
An important minor supporting role, the bandit has half an ear in it.
In this way, Li Yiqiang entered the entertainment industry in Hong Kong in a daze. He worked part-time and did odd jobs when he didn't. He didn't earn much, but he could still make ends meet.
…………
The week flies by.
Preparations for Chu Heng's new company are still in full swing. Under Martin's planning, the company is changing rapidly.
Now the company's office has moved out of the Mandarin Hotel and officially settled in the Golden Horse Building. The number of employees has also surged to more than 200. Recruitment has been closed and we are working overtime to prepare the balance sheets and property lists of each subsidiary and customize them.
Equity incentive system, etc.
But these have nothing to do with Chu Heng. People like Martin and Johnny are busy.
In the past few days, he has been either fishing or playing mahjong, which can be said to be relaxed and comfortable.
This morning.
As he had done a few days ago, Chu Heng came out of home alone with his fishing gear before dawn and went to the beach to catch his morning catch.
After a while, he followed the path to the beach, found the rock where he sat, set up his fishing chair, made a nest, hung his ears, swung the rod, and then waited leisurely for the fish to take the bait.
He has been fishing at this location for several days and has kept the nest for some days, so fish often gather here to look for food. Not long after Chu Heng swung the fishing rod, he started to catch fish one after another. When the sun set,
When we came out, we had already caught half a bucket.
"Hey, Uncle Six?"
At around five o'clock, Chu Henggang happily took off a small piece of grouper and threw it into the bucket. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Shao Yifu, who was slowly walking over with fishing gear. He grinned and said, "Why haven't you been fishing these days?"
Come? Are you avoiding me because you are afraid that I will go to your set to make a living?"
"The heart of a villain." Shao Yifu rolled his eyes at him and said, "I earn tens of millions a year, so I am afraid that you will take advantage of me?"
"Then why did you go?"
"Go to Thailand to discuss a business deal."
"Did it go well?"
"It's not bad."
"Then when can you take me to Clear Water Bay?"
"You can go later if you have time."
"OK."
While talking, Shao Yifu came and sat down not far from him. After tinkering for a while, he also sat down and started fishing.
The two of them chatted and caught fish, and before they knew it, it was past eight o'clock.
Chu Heng harvested so much that the bucket he brought could no longer hold it, so he decided to hang the largest grouper weighing more than six kilograms on his waist.
Shao Yifu, who only caught a few small fish weighing one or two kilograms, was envious, so he came over and said, "Boy, let's discuss it with you."
"What?" Chu Heng asked curiously.
"Give me your grouper, and when we get to Qingshui Bay, I will introduce you to two female stars." Shao Yifu said with a shrewd look.
Chu Heng's eyes lit up, and then he said warily: "Then I don't want Zheng Peipei."
"Zheng Peipei is such a beautiful woman, why don't you like her?" Shao Yifu was surprised.
"Don't worry about it."
"Okay, no Zheng Peipei."
"Okay, then this fish is for you." Chu Heng quickly took off the grouper that was just hung on his waist and handed it to him. He also agreed on where to meet later and packed up his things with great anticipation.
Return home in a hurry.
After arriving home, he put away the fish and fishing gear, ate a simple meal, changed his clothes, and set off from home with Cen Hao and other bodyguards.
The Mercedes-Benz in front was driving the road, and the one in the back was behind. He was sitting in the extended car in the middle, and he was full of cards.
Soon the convoy went down the mountain and waited on the side of the road for a short while. A Rolls-Royce drove slowly from another intersection, and it was Shao Yifu's car.
"Uncle Six."
Chu Heng immediately stretched out his hand from inside and waved it gently, with a harmless smile on his face, as warm and gentle as the spring breeze.
When Shao Yifu saw the crowd of people shouting and swarming, he was stunned for a moment and realized that this guy's identity might not be simple. He immediately became more polite and waved with a smile: "Follow me."
"OK."
Chu Heng made an OK gesture, and then Shao Yifu's car drove to the front to lead the way, and the three of them followed closely.
After arriving at the port, they drove onto the ship, disembarked at Sanjiacun Pier half an hour later, and drove for another 20 minutes before arriving at the Clear Water Bay studio.
Chu Heng sat in the car and looked at the studio and office building on the set, his eyes shining brightly.
