Chapter 042 Leave a good impression on each other

 In a restaurant in Kowloon Tong, Zhao Donghuai, A Guang, and A Yong arrived on the second floor, opened the door of a large private room, and saw ten or twenty people sitting inside.

As soon as these people saw Director Zhao, they stood up and cheered, their eyes...

Zhao Donghuai smiled and waved, "Brother Overlord, long time no see!"

In mid-July, I invited Brother Xiaobawang to bring a group of boys and Red Scorpion to the Clear Water Bay set as guest teachers. It has been more than two months.

The little bully Li Huaijin grabbed the beer in front of the table and drank one glass in one gulp before putting down the glass. His eyes were deep and he asked, "Director Zhao, you have called us here this time. Do you have any advice?"

Zhao Donghuai laughed and stepped forward, "Look at what Brother Bawang said, we are all good friends. We can't get together if nothing happens. I'm treating you today. You can eat and drink."

Little Overlord, "..."

The Little Overlord’s group of younger brothers, as well as some people belonging to the Little Overlord’s friends, were all speechless.

Zhao Donghuai took off his shoulder bag and opened the zipper, and the pile of money dazzled the crowd.

Director Zhao ignored so much and took out an investment agreement, "Brother Bawang, you invested 223,000 yuan in me three or four months ago, and now I will return the principal to you with interest."

"Let me do the math for you. Now the annual interest rate for HSBC's current term is less than 0.5%. This interest rate is worrying. One million one-year current term is less than 5,000 yuan in interest."

"I borrowed more than 220,000 yuan for three or four months, and now I will directly give you 10,000 yuan in interest, which is enough for a friend!"

While talking, he also handed the investment agreement to Xiao Bawang and quickly counted out 233,000 yuan.

Little Overlord Li Huaijin, "..."

He grabbed the investment agreement in confusion and looked at the money in Director Zhao's hand. Are you really going to pay me back? The sun comes out from the west today?

Damn it, if he hadn't had so many unscientific photos in the other party's hands, as well as other messy contracts and IOUs, he would have fought with this bastard, okay?

Until Zhao Donghuai stuffed the money into the little overlord's arms and said again, "Don't you count?", the little overlord hurriedly woke up and looked at Director Zhao, then at A Guang and A Yong with an incomprehensible expression.

People.

He shook his head and said, "No need to count. Are you really here to pay back the money today??"

Zhao Donghuai patted the little bully on the shoulder and said, "Look at what you said, we are all good citizens and outstanding young people in the new era. Can I still lie to you?"

"I also brought your friend's money, otherwise why would you have shouted everyone in such unison?"

It is appropriate to pay back the money. After all, he has money and is not a robber.

The money in the investment agreement and the terms owed should be paid back. If you borrow something, you must pay it back. Isn’t it difficult to borrow again?

Now he no longer needs to raise funds from Xiaobawang and others, but the future is so long, who knows, it is necessary to leave a good impression on each other.

Director Zhao currently has more than 3 million in cash after buying the garage. The initial 700,000 plus interest will not be difficult to give away.

After he started distributing the money one by one, and after he finished distributing the money, he put away the investment agreement and the IOUs he owed to others, and burned them in front of his face.

I won’t come back when I’m drunk!”

Many people cried with joy.

Then everyone cheered and started calling the waiter. When the waiter came over and ordered a bunch of good dishes and good wine, Zhao Donghuai raised his glass and clinked a drink with everyone, "Okay, you go on, I'm leaving, I'll treat you a little

The Overlord pays the bill, remember not to eat the Overlord’s meal.”

Little Overlord Li Huaijin, "..."

A group of younger brothers and Ah Jin’s friends also looked at each other a little bit.

After watching Director Zhao lead the people away in confusion, the Little Bully quickly chased after him, "Wait a minute."

Seeing Zhao Donghuai stop, the little bully stepped forward with a smile, "Director Zhao, Brother Huai? Those photos of me?"

"Also, it's easy to say whether the money will be repaid or not. I don't need it for the time being. The key thing is the IOU I left with you?"

Zhao Donghuai smiled and patted him, "These are two different things. Let's talk about it later."

"By the way, my new play will be released soon. See you at Shaw Brothers Theater during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday on the 22nd!"

When Director Zhao walked away this time and disappeared, the little bully turned around and cursed with gritted teeth, "Push on the street, you are filming a ridiculous scene. If you don't plant cucumbers, you are wasting your talent!"

That is to say, he has suffered several losses and knows that he can't defeat the person named Zhao... And when he thinks about his past, he also feels that he is "a good peace-loving citizen" and should not do bad things, otherwise he will definitely fight with him!
p>

It was decided that he would go see New World on Mid-Autumn Festival night, and if the filming was not good, he would take his boys and throw rice fields together in the theater to vent their anger.

After a while.

In the private room, the bully drank several glasses of wine and expressed his thoughts. A group of friends and younger brothers cheered and cheered each other up.

It wasn't until everyone became more and more enthusiastic that someone said weakly, "Brother Bawang, what about Director Zhao's play? It seems to be showing at Shaw Brothers Theatre. Are we really going to the Shaw Brothers Theater to show the rice field together??"

"What should I do if Shao Daheng has misunderstood? It's okay if you throw sugar cane and other garbage at the theater. The Cane Biting Gang often does it... What if the Yoneden Party members say??"

The little bully Li Huaijin was speechless, "..."

After being speechless, he couldn't help but drink another sip of wine, his mouth full of bitterness.

………………

More than an hour later.

It was still on the Kowloon Tong Broadcasting Channel. When Zhao Donghuai knocked on the door of a residential house with a flower basket and a fruit basket, he saw the light of Ah Zhong walking out and immediately smiled and said, "Uncle Zhong, I came to see you. Are you okay now?"



This is the second day of filming in New World. Uncle Zhong got into a car accident.

He visited Ah Zhong once just after he was hospitalized. The condition was not serious, there were no fractures, just skin injuries.

The New World has been filmed, and the Shaw Brothers lighting engineer recommended by Ah Chung is also very good, at least meeting Director Zhao's requirements. It will be released immediately. Once the box office becomes a hit, it will be inevitable to give red envelopes to the crew members.
p>

This lamp master, who started his business with him but failed halfway through, could also give me a red envelope and come to visit today, which also shows his philanthropic and kind side as a great director.

Speaking of which, the cause of Ah Zhong's car accident has long been investigated. He was too frightened the first night he turned on the phone. He stayed up all night and worked all night. He was in a trance on the way home to rest. He was hit by a car without paying attention. Fortunately, he hit someone.

The speed is slow.

What a surprise.

No one wants to come.

The matter had nothing to do with Director Zhao, and he felt a little unfair.

Little Overlord Li Huaijin has returned the crowdfunding funds. After visiting Ah Zhong, he has a good understanding of everything. He is just waiting for the release.

After all, various advertisements have been launched and trailers have been aired. Everything that needs to be fixed has been fixed, and the rest is just to let nature take its course.

It must also be noted that Director Zhao's publicity campaign is quite satisfactory and not too exaggerated. For example, he did not do that by covering buses and taxi bodies with advertising posters.

No need.

The New World is a gang drama, with bloody violence, cold and domineering tone, and a slightly dark tone. It won't have a bad reputation, but at the box office, it will definitely not be as good as a family comedy.

Let's just say that the 1983 "The Best Partner" showed its magic and had a strong comedy atmosphere. It grossed more than 23 million at the box office. Based on the average ticket price of 15 yuan a ticket, even if many people watched it twice and three times, it basically equaled more than 1.5 million people.

Enter the cinema.

The Five Lucky Stars also has a strong comedy atmosphere, with a box office of 21.9 million, a ticket price of 15 yuan, and more than 1.4 million people watching it.

How many people were there in Hong Kong in 1983? Leaving aside illegal households, there were only 5.3 million illegal workers!

This drama will have a good reputation and will definitely not lose money, but it is not a family comedy, so it will be difficult to set a record at the box office.

Furthermore, even if it broke the records of Show of Magical Powers and Five Lucky Stars... The Queen's Secret Order came in January 1984, with a box office of more than 29 million, and almost 2 million people entered the theater to buy tickets.

This is the reason why Zhao Donghuai is only mediocre in publicity.
