Chapter 81 New Techniques: Cast of "Kill the Wolf"
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Zuxian slowly woke up.
She found herself no longer on the sofa, but lying in bed.
Her body was clearly wiped clean, and she was even put on pajamas.
A moment later, she saw Tang Long walk in carrying a plate of fruit.
"Sister Zuxian, you're awake."
As soon as Tang Long entered the room, he saw Wang Zuxian staring straight at him, and he said happily, "I just ordered some fruit, it's quite fresh, let's have some together."
After saying that, he climbed onto the bed and lay down next to her, then picked up a piece of apple and held it to Wang Zuxian's lips.
Wang Zuxian took a small bite, while Tang Long stuffed the rest of the large piece directly into his mouth.
"Ah Long, am I really useless?"
"Huh? What?"
"Am I really useless? I can't even stay with you until the end."
Wang Zuxian did feel quite guilty about this. Every time she was so happy she would faint, Tang Long could only suffer in silence.
Tang Long was taken aback upon hearing this, then smiled and comforted him, "It's alright, you'll get used to it."
Seeing her still looking dejected, Tang Long continued, "If you really want to persevere, there's actually another place that can help?"
"Where?"
Tang Long didn't answer directly, but picked up a segment of navel orange and put it into her mouth.
"Are the navel oranges sweet?"
"sweet."
"Sweet is just right."
Wang Zuxian immediately realized what place it was and slapped his arm in an annoyance.
"That's absolutely unacceptable, it's too dirty."
"Where is it dirty? I wash it every day."
"No, it just won't work."
"If you can't do it, then you'll have to hold on longer in the future, so you don't faint again."
Whether you can do it or not is not up to you; sooner or later you'll have to comply.
Wang Zuxian thought about her sensitive constitution and couldn't help but feel troubled. If things continued like this, it wouldn't be a good thing.
But the thought of using her mouth made her stop chewing the apple.
"Did Liu Jialing also use this to help you?"
"What?"
Tang Long was so startled by this abrupt remark that he almost dropped the fruit plate.
"I know about your relationship with her, so what's there to hide?"
When we were filming "Reign of Assassins," she looked at you with such hostility that she was practically drooling. She would become hostile whenever I got close to you.
Anyone could tell that the relationship between the two of you is not simple.
Actually, she didn't need to look; many people in the industry knew about their relationship, and she wasn't deaf, so she naturally heard the relevant news.
She felt that since the two of them had gotten together in a daze and hadn't clearly defined their relationship, she had no right to interfere.
Wang Zuxian does not deny that their relationship began because of her fascination with Tang Long's powerful abilities.
That was a feeling he and she had never experienced before.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to meet him again; it was this feeling that made her somewhat unable to resist.
Over the past two weeks, Tang Long has proven to be not only highly capable but also gentle and considerate, able to solve her problems and making her feel extremely safe.
Before she knew it, Wang Zuxian had developed feelings for Tang Long.
Therefore, she became increasingly jealous of Liu Jialing's existence.
But she doesn't seem to have the right to be jealous, because she's the one who came later.
Afterwards, as she fainted repeatedly, her desire to possess Tang Long became increasingly weak.
She couldn't handle it all by herself.
He still couldn't help but get emotional when Liu Jialing was mentioned.
Seeing that Wang Zuxian had gone this far, Tang Long hugged her and explained, "She's just like you, a good older sister to me."
"I knew your relationship wasn't simple. You can't mention her in front of me anymore."
"You were the one who brought it up first, weren't you?"
"I don't care, you just can't mention her in front of me anymore."
Seeing that she was about to make a scene, Tang Long quickly reassured her, "Okay, okay, I promise I won't mention her in front of you again."
"That's more like it."
However, when Liu Jialing was mentioned, Tang Long realized that he seemed to have neglected her a bit these days.
"You still haven't answered my question?"
"What's the problem?" Tang Long's thoughts were interrupted.
"So, did Liu Jialing use that to help you?"
"Didn't we say we wouldn't mention her?"
"I can bring it up, but you can't. Did it happen or not?"
"have."
"She's willing to do all this?"
"This is intimate pleasure in the bedroom, why would I be unwilling?"
Seeing Wang Zuxian's silent and conflicted expression, Tang Long gently stroked her hair and said softly, "Sister Zuxian, this kind of thing should be joyful and happy. There's no need to force yourself. I can just be more patient when I'm with you."
Upon hearing Tang Long's words, Wang Zuxian's eyes shone with love, and the hesitation on her face was completely replaced by determination.
She looked up at Tang Long, then her body gradually slid down.
"How would I know? I've never done this job before."
Upon hearing this, Tang Long could only teach her step by step.
"I'm going to rest for a bit, I'm exhausted."
She rested like this, asking two or three times, just as she was about to lose her patience.
"Is the reaction really that strong?"
Wang Zuxian rolled her eyes at him and didn't want to talk to him.
Is this a problem of excessive reaction?
Seeing this, Tang Long quickly stepped forward to comfort him, and after a while, his mood finally improved.
"Isn't Liu Jialing tired? How can she work for so long?"
"She's not like you."
Wang Zuxian retorted angrily, "Why didn't you say so sooner?"
"I thought you wanted to try it."
"you!"
Despite her anger, she managed not to faint again and successfully made it to the end.
Seeing Tang Long's relieved expression, she finally felt a weight lifted from her heart. Although she was still panting heavily, a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
The initial encounters were always full of novelty, and Tang Long and Wang Zuxian spent three days and three nights having a blast at the Shangri-La Hotel.
When the two left, one looked energetic and the other looked radiant.
When Tang Long arrived at the company, he saw two documents lying quietly on his desk.
Cui Baozhu was very efficient; the investment contract with Yingzhijie and the actor contract with Hong Jinbao were both signed.
Because he was playing a supporting role this time, Sammo Hung only received a friendly price of two million dollars in salary.
Tang Long, as the male lead, received a salary of three million for his role in "Sha Po Lang".
Three million is also his current asking price.
He received a slightly lower salary for "Swordsman II," a discount, only 0 million.
In addition to serving as the film's screenwriter and producer, Tang Long's total salary for "SPL: Sha Po Lang" is a package deal of 3.5 million.
This time, he doesn't intend to factor his film salary into his investment as he did before.
Now that the company is on the right track, public and private accounts need to be clearly separated.
Therefore, the tentative budget of eight million Hong Kong dollars for "SPL" is definitely not enough.
Now that both contracts have been signed, Tang Long decided to take advantage of the time to finalize the cast for "Sha Po Lang".
Besides Ma Jun and Wang Bao, another popular character in "Sha Po Lang" is undoubtedly Aji.
When it came to choosing an actress, Donnie Yen was the first person that came to Tang Long's mind.
He's still very young. If he dyed his hair blonde, his character wouldn't be any worse than Wu Jing's.
If Donnie Yen had played Ah-Jack, that classic showdown in the alley would definitely have been just as good as the original.
It's just that Donnie Yen isn't as easy to invite as she used to be.
His roles as Cao Shaoqin in "New Dragon Gate Inn" and Nalan Yuanshu in "Once Upon a Time in China II" have earned him considerable fame in the industry. Although "Once Upon a Time in China II" has not yet been released, his abilities have already been recognized by the industry, and many film companies have approached him to act in their films.
Furthermore, Donnie Yen has always been dissatisfied with Tang Lung, and she has asked him to play a supporting role again. It remains to be seen whether he will agree.
Besides these three main characters, there is another character with a significant role in "SPL: Sha Po Lang"—Chen Guozhong, a police officer suffering from brain cancer who is determined to fight Wang Bao.
Simon Yam is not yet famous and can only play villainous roles or lead roles in Category III films.
Therefore, Tang Long's first choice was not him, but Liang Jiahui.
Liang Jiahui doesn't care about status like other celebrities; he won't act in anything but the male lead.
As long as the role is outstanding and the pay is good, he's willing to play a supporting role even if it's for a newcomer.
Even Tang Long admires this, as he himself cannot be so devoted to acting.
He is still somewhat burdened by fame, and he is unwilling to play supporting roles for people of lower status than himself.
Besides Chen Guozhong, Liao Qizhi was naturally indispensable in his police team.
Liu Kai-chi and Ng Man-tat are arguably the two most outstanding supporting actors in Hong Kong films.
His performance in the scene where he learns that Chen Guozhong has brain cancer in the police station cafeteria was textbook-worthy.
Whether it's micro-expressions or the gradual progression of emotions, the performance is outstanding.
As for the other characters, Tang Long doesn't need to worry about them personally.
He wrote down all the actor candidates and handed them to Cui Baozhu, asking her to make the initial negotiations.
Cui Baozhu took the list and glanced at it, then looked up and said, "Ah Long, the others are fine, but Liang Jiahui, it'll be hard to get him to come without a script."
"You can contact the other people first. I'll give you the script before the new year, and then you can invite Liang Jiahui."
"Should we finalize a director yet?"
Tang Long was also struggling with the choice of director.
He considered taking matters into his own hands, but he was also aware of his own limitations, knowing that he was not yet up to the task.
It's not like you can become a director just by making a few movies and following Xu Ke around for a while.
The director needs to coordinate the entire crew and decide the direction and style of the film, which is not a simple task.
In Hong Kong right now, he really couldn't think of anyone suitable for the style of "SPL: Sha Po Lang".
The original director, Yip Wai-shun, is still a production assistant.
"Sister Baozhu, I don't have a suitable candidate yet, let's leave it for now."
"And what about the startup time?"
"Swordsman 2 will be completed before May, and the start date for Sha Po Lang is set for June 1st."
