Originally, we had agreed to have a different kind of New Year’s Eve dinner today.
But until now, Da Fei has not appeared, so Chu Tianyao can naturally see that they still don't give up on him.
Chu Tianyao could only continue to act stupid and bewildered, pretending not to know that someone else was trying to set them up.
But halfway through the meal, Chu Tianyao received a call from Zou Wenhuai.
"Boss Zou, Happy New Year!"
"Hey, I can't be happy today."
Upon hearing this, Chu Tianyao naturally knew that something had happened, so he quickly smiled back and turned to leave.
He found a relatively secluded place, away from everyone's sight.
"Boss Zou, what exactly happened? Keep talking."
"I have just been notified that more than half of the Hong Kong movie stars who previously collaborated with Golden Harvest Film Company have chosen to terminate their cooperation."
"Now I'm worried about this!"
When Chu Tianyao heard this, he thought about it carefully and thought that he might also be implicated.
"If this scenario continues, if Golden Harvest Film Company cannot restore its cooperation with these movie stars."
"Wouldn't we be in the embarrassing situation of having no movies to shoot in the future?"
"Yes, so I am worried!"
Zou Wenhuai sighed, he was obviously drinking alone.
Chu Tianyao felt that something was fishy, so he spoke.
"Don't worry, Boss Zou, I have nothing to do anyway, I will help you investigate and ask about the situation!"
"Thank you, but let me take care of my own affairs. I'm just here to complain to you today."
The call was hung up, and it was clear that Zou Wenhuai had not yet noticed the deeper impact.
Chu Tianyao has always been a person with a sense of crisis, thanks to the memories of his past life.
He believed that if he were to live another life and still have the same sense of crisis as before, it would be a failure.
Just like after receiving the call from Zou Wenhuai, Chu Tianyao was keenly aware of it immediately.
Those who intervene in these matters may not just want to deal with Zou Wenhuai and Jiahe Film Company.
So Chu Tianyao immediately contacted several small film companies that he had cooperated with before.
Not long ago, the bosses of these film companies were constantly praising Chu Tianyao and vowed to follow him to the death.
As a result, when Chu Tianyao called today to mention the film copyright issue, the other party's attitude became hesitant.
Finally, under Chu Tianyao's questioning, one person couldn't help but tell the truth.
"Boss Chu, don't blame us for your sudden change of heart. We didn't expect you to offend that person!"
"Yes, whether small companies like us can survive in today's Hong Kong city depends on others. I'm afraid our cooperation will not be able to continue in the future."
After hearing these words, a figure gradually emerged in Chu Tianyao's heart.
If we want to say who else has such great energy in Hong Kong's film industry today, it must be Xiang Huaming.
Xiang Huaming is ostensibly trying to deal with Zou Wenhuai, so that the only famous movie star he can rely on from next year is Jackie Chan.
In fact, this is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone.
He first blocked the possibility of Golden Harvest Film Company starting to make new films next year, and then blocked the possibility of Chu Tianyao looking for film sources elsewhere.
With the two-pronged approach, tomorrow can be regarded as the biggest crisis year for both Chu Tianyao and Zou Wenhuai.
"This Xiang Huaming, I didn't expect his methods to be so vicious."
"But I don't have any evidence now, so I'm afraid I can't do anything to him."
Chu Tianyao murmured to himself, and the answer suddenly came to his mind.
Those small bosses who worked with Chu Tianyao before were probably just a bunch of losers.
There is no distinction between right and wrong in their hearts. There is only one truth in these people's hearts: whoever wins will help whom!
If Chu Tianyao wants to win, he must get hard evidence.
"It seems like I won't be able to survive the New Year today."
Chu Tianyao then returned to the dining table and found that Xu Chuxia had disappeared.
"Excuse me, where is the lady sitting there just now?"
Chu Tianyao could only go to the front desk of the restaurant to ask, and the other party immediately took out a note.
"Sir, this lady has just left. This is what she left for you."
Chu Tianyao took it and opened it, and he could feel Xu Chuxia's anger just from the scrawled words.
"Let's live in your business for the rest of our lives!"
Chu Tianyao couldn't help but reveal a helpless smile on his face when he saw the anger that almost appeared on the page.
"Hey, now you don't even have a chance to reason with me. It's really embarrassing."
Although Chu Tianyao was unintentionally angry, he did not dwell too much on this matter.
This just gave me a reason to take action tonight.
He first contacted Long Si and then found Da Fei.
"You're such a busy person, you won't be able to stop on New Year's Eve, right?"
When he found Da Fei, he kept looking towards the back seat of the car.
When Chu Tianyao saw this, he naturally understood what he was thinking and spoke directly.
"Don't look, there are only two people left in the car, Long Si and me."
"Two people?
Then where did my sister go?"
"I guess you've either gone back to sleep by now, or you're hiding in bed scolding me, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Tianyao couldn't help but sneeze and said with an embarrassed smile.
"Look, retribution comes so quickly."
How come Da Fei doesn't know that another date he carefully arranged has been messed up again.
"Hey, I don't even know what to say to you."
"Okay, let's get down to business. What do you want from me today?"
"I want to ask you if you know the real addresses or contact information of these people."
Chu Tianyao took out a list he had prepared in advance, Da Fei took a look at it and asked.
"Why are you now starting to become a paparazzi instead of running a good business?"
Every name on the list was familiar to Da Fei. They were all major movie stars and singers active in the Hong Kong entertainment circle.
"What? I'm really useful. These people are very important to me and Boss Zou."
Chu Tianyao briefly explained the difficulties faced by Jiahe Film Company, and then Da Fei understood.
"I see, you want to talk to the people on the list in person?"
"Yes, can you find their information?"
"Of course there is, there is no one in the whole port city that I can't find!"
"Hold on."
Da Fei immediately distributed the news about finding the person, and Chu Tianyao waited for almost an hour for a reply.
"These people are very rich and they protect their privacy very well."
"In such a short period of time, I cannot accurately find everyone's address and contact information."
"There are only so many, do you see enough?"
Da Fei then brought over a thick stack of intelligence materials. Chu Tianyao took a look at it and nodded.
"That's enough. I'll treat you to dinner and thank you after I'm done with this."
"Okay, if you have this spare time, you might as well treat my sister to a meal to let her calm down."
Da Fei waved Chu Tianyao away, and Long Si followed the order and drove the car slowly to a deserted neighborhood.
"Mr. Chu, where should we go next?"
Chu Tianyao was busy checking the information at hand and did not answer for a long time because it was difficult to come to a conclusion at the moment.
Based on the comparison of the two copies of information in his hand, Chu Tianyao made a clear direction.
The list previously provided by Zou Wenhuai coincides with the information provided by Da Fei now.
More than half of the movie stars on the list have made it clear that they will terminate their cooperation with Golden Harvest.
Chu Tianyao could only think of ways to win from the remaining half of the list.
“First stop, go to Lion Rock!”
Chu Tianyao waved his hand, and soon Long Si started the car and continued moving forward.
The port city is still extremely prosperous on New Year's Eve, even more lively than before.
But Chu Tianyao had no time to rest, and instead seemed even busier tonight than before.
Together with Long Si, he ran for several hours based on the information given by Da Fei, but ultimately found nothing.
Of the remaining half of the people on the list, it was either difficult to contact them or they refused to meet after being found.
Even if Chu Tianyao tried his best, he still had no chance to enter the house.
"Mr. Chu, it's already three o'clock in the morning, why don't we go back and take a rest first?"
Long Si looked through the rearview mirror and saw Chu Tianyao who had begun to doze slightly behind him.
Chu Tianyao was indeed a little tired from running around until now.
But when Chu Tianyao heard this, he suddenly became energetic again.
"Um?
No...it's not time to sleep yet."
"There are still about ten people on the list, let's continue!"
"By the way, where is this?"
Chu Tianyao looked around, and it seemed that it was rare to see a dark area in Hong Kong City.
"Mr. Chu, we have arrived at the airport just now to chase the people on the list."
"Return now?"
Chu Tianyao nodded and looked at the information at hand again in a blink of an eye.
Long Si continued to drive, taking Chu Tianyao to the next destination.
However, before the car had driven very far this time, Chu Tianyao felt a sudden brake.
The brakes were so fierce that Chu Tianyao almost hit his head on the front seat.
"what happened?"
Chu Tianyao was shocked, because Long Si had always been very steady since he started driving for him.
To be able to make Long Si drive the car like this means something is wrong.
"Mr. Chu, I seemed to have bumped into someone just now!"
Hearing this, Chu Tianyao's heart skipped a beat, and then he hurriedly waved to get out of the car.
"Don't be stunned. Hurry down and see if that person is alright."
"If you can still be saved, send him to the hospital immediately!"
Chu Tianyao knew in his heart that even if he drove away at this time, there was a high probability that he would not be discovered.
After all, this is a suburban section of road from the airport back to the city, and there are no surveillance cameras or lights on the road.
But Chu Tianyao didn't want to be condemned by his inner conscience, so he decided to go down and have a look.
After Chu Tianyao and Long Si went down, Long Si professionally stretched out his hand to detect the other person's breath.
"Mr. Chu, this man is not dead and his breathing is normal."
"There were no obvious external injuries on the body, maybe he was knocked unconscious."
As a professional killer, Long Si also has some first aid knowledge.
Chu Tianyao nodded and quickly opened the car door.
"Then get this person into the car first, and let's take him to the nearest hospital first."
After all, they are not doctors and cannot make casual conclusions.
Furthermore, if the person in front of you is hit and suffers internal injuries, it will be very dangerous if you don't get treatment in time.
Chu Tianyao and Long Si helped each other and quickly lifted the man into the car.
Although the clothes on this person look a little wrinkled and dirty.
But at this time, Chu Tianyao naturally couldn't take too much care of his car. Saving people was more important.
Then Chu Tianyao changed to the passenger seat, and Long Si drove quickly towards the nearest hospital.
