Chapter 030: The Billionaire Sounds Really Exciting
After a while, Leung Ka-fai, Stephen Chow, and Joey Wong went to the outer conference room to look at the script.
Su Nan gave them half an hour to rehearse one by one.
Rosamund Kwan refilled Su Nan's teacup. "Brother Nan, I think Ah Fai and Ah Xing behaved quite normally."
"Xiaoxian seems a little nervous and unnatural. Isn't that strange?"
Su Nan glanced at Lao Hong and complained to Sister Guan, "There are some things I don't tell you, so you're unaware of them, which means you didn't participate in the crime."
"I didn't cover anything up, so don't ask any more questions about these things."
At this moment, Su Nan was glad that he had transmigrated into the household of Shixiawei Anan.
Without this household registration, some things would be a different matter altogether.
Rosamund Kwan, "..."
After a couple of seconds of blankness, Sister Guan excitedly pulled Chen Hong aside to whisper to each other.
Hong Jinbao chuckled, "It seems Chen Ziqiang's agent hasn't told anyone."
"Jia Hui came to audition, probably because he heard somewhere that this script was excellent."
Joey Wong? Given Lin Jianyue's daily enthusiasm for pursuing her, it's normal for him to have a wide range of information channels.
Lin Jianyue is not only the tycoon of Lai Sun Garment and Lai Sun Real Estate, but two years ago, the Lin family also took over ATV together with Shark-Bold Tung.
On the surface, Lam Pak-yan is the head of ATV, but it's normal for this 76-year-old Lam to hand over many of his businesses to Lam Kin-yue.
Su Nan took a sip of tea. "It's better if they don't know. It would be better if they were scared into coming for an interview."
"Then aren't I the same as the person who gave Ah-Hua bullets to force him to take on roles?"
"I'm not trying to make excuses. If we can develop peacefully, who would want to cross the line so easily?"
"Becoming a billionaire and amassing a fortune of billions without any effort is just a pipe dream."
"There are too many things in reality that we have no choice but to do."
Old Hong almost spat out his tea when he heard this. Good heavens, how could he talk about hundreds of millions and billions in such a calm tone?
However, the thought that a movie could earn millions a few years ago still shocked him.
Now his three companies can invest tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars a year? Even if the majority of it comes from Golden Harvest and Pan's money.
Hong Jinbao has seen a lot of money before; hundreds of millions? It's not out of reach for him.
The investment in trade between mainland China and Moscow can be recouped in one or two years, followed by an annual profit of 2000 million.
Thinking about it this way, in a few years, Sanmao might also have the opportunity to become someone who controls hundreds of millions of net assets.
That sounds so exciting!
After trying to calm himself down with a cigarette, Hung Kam-po laughed and said, "Mr. Su, it's not easy for a generation to accumulate a billion."
Su Nan nodded and didn't say anything more, casually chatting about other film and television productions such as Baoxiang and Debao.
Half an hour later, they began rehearsing the scenes with Leung Ka-fai and Stephen Chow in the office.
First, Hung Kin-po made a cameo appearance as the unscrupulous boss in (remote control) and acted opposite the two of them.
Subsequently, the two male lead candidates began to act alongside Joey Wong in leading roles.
Several different segments were performed.
Su Nan smiled and shook hands with Wang Zuxian, "Xiaoxian, although we have sent film offers to many people, you arrived the earliest. You have a good image and good acting skills."
"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, you will be tentatively cast as the female lead, and your salary will be based on market rates."
"Let's sign a letter of intent, and hopefully we can coordinate the schedule for next year. If we don't end up using you, we'll pay you a penalty for breach of contract."
Joey Wong was in her most prolific period, but her acting skills were still weaker compared to Cherie Chung and Maggie Cheung.
But in a commercial family-friendly tragicomedy, her acting skills are sufficient, and most importantly, she is beautiful enough.
That's not a big problem.
Wang Zuxian quickly smiled politely and said she would definitely try her best to perform well.
Su Nan looked at Liang Jiahui and Zhou Xingchi, "Brother Hui, Xingchi, it's hard to divide you two up right now."
"The comedic performance of Ah Xing is more exaggerated but not annoying or embarrassing."
"But Hui-ge, your performance is much more powerful in everyday and tragic scenes."
After exchanging a few polite words, Liang Jiahui smiled and said, "Mr. Su, Brother Sanmao, this project has a really good idea."
"Give Ah Xing and me another week to try again? I'll definitely bring a different attitude to the competition."
Leung Ka-fai really liked the story after reading the script.
A remote control straight out of a science fiction concept, capable of fast-forwarding through routines you find tedious and boring in your daily life.
For example, your wife constantly nagging you until you can't stand it, or the arduous work process of being an architectural designer.
Even the foreplay during the departure of the boat can be fast-forwarded.
Enjoy only the time when you achieve results and are happiest.
Everything fast-forwarded and fast-forwarded, forming a fixed routine, and then suddenly fast-forwarded for many years.
Many things seem boring and frustrating when you face them, but you only realize their value and regret it when you lose them.
Ah Fai had never acted on this kind of theme before; it was a completely new challenge.
Stephen Chow also became polite, stating that he shared the same sentiment as Ah Fai.
Ah Xing's feelings about this movie? The movie is good, but there's no need for him to act in it.
He prefers stories like those in kung fu where a nobody rises to become a great hero.
Stephen Chow, the "God of Gamblers," has no shortage of scripts; he picks and chooses them. He only wants money but is too embarrassed and doesn't dare to ask for them.
Now we can only make a statement like Brother Jia Hui.
Su Nan and Lao Hong chatted and laughed for a few more minutes before seeing the three of them off.
Taking advantage of the situation, Hong Jinbao also bid farewell and left.
With only their own people left in the office, Su Nan smiled and said, "The female lead is tentatively set to be Joey Wong, and the male lead will most likely still be tentatively set to be Ah Hui."
"It's not that his comedic performance is stronger, it's that he's more invested in the role."
Given enough time, Jia Hui, a versatile actor, can unleash a truly satisfying performance.
Ah Hong laughed, "Chen Yi, Zhang Ziyi, Bingbing, and Xiao Tong have all signed."
"There's a daughter character in the remote control too, shall we try it? The little girl has much more screen time than the adult daughter."
Su Nan nodded, "That works too."
Originally, the child stars who were learning to enter the role of a mute girl were given another task along the way.
……
On the afternoon of the 5th, at the filming location of "God of Gamblers" in Tai Po, New Territories.
Xiang Shisan arrived with Zhang Min and brought some tea to the film crew.
Xiang Shisan watched Ah Xing and Ah Hua's performance from the sidelines, and only after the scene was finished did he wave to Stephen Chow.
Ah Xing quickly walked over and greeted him.
Xiang Shisan smiled and offered a cigarette, "Xingzai, did your interview at Skyworth this morning go well?"
Zhou Xingchi nodded, "It went quite smoothly. I had several meetings with Su Sheng, and that person was very nice."
To Thirteen, "..."
He didn't know how to look directly at the words "the person is quite nice".
This was arranged by Mato, a representative of the Oriental Daily News, who wanted to invite him to dinner to have a chat.
Sometimes, there's no need to make a big deal out of something so ordinary and scary.
From tabloid reports of scandalous affairs in southern Jiangsu to allegations that he employed a large number of mainland actors.
It was just a test by some Taiwanese film companies.
Let's test the waters first, step by step. Maybe we can even get our hands on the financial resources of southern Jiangsu in Moscow.
Su Nan has already taken Hong Jinbao on his journey, hasn't he? He's willing to take even a mere Sanmao with him.
According to traditional techniques, since we didn't know each other before, I'll test you by having a couple of ordinary sparring sessions.
When friction arises, a mediator can be brought in to arrange a meeting over tea, and that's how you get to know each other!
You can't be a saint and have fun all you want, but I can introduce you to more actresses and leading ladies.
This includes helping you get your movies screened in Taiwan and selling them overseas.
You want to take me to Moscow? A Hong Kong guy in southern Jiangsu could charter a whole train car.
Taiwanese capital can also charter train cars; that's its nature!
No one expected that the tabloids would be so indifferent to reports from southern Jiangsu, but react so outrageously to the news that it would be published in the Oriental Daily.
After a moment of silence, he smiled at Thirteen and said, "The Ni family sent someone to persuade us to let Win's Entertainment fund Ni Zhen to play the male lead and act as a couple with Vivian Chow, so that they might fall in love on set."
"I had someone refuse."
"But giving Vivian Chow a leading role is no big deal. Ah Xing, could you pass on a message to Mr. Su for me?"
"After filming God of Gamblers, Ah Jing planned a (prank) project and invited Vivian Chow and Rosamund Kwan."
Ni Zhen wanted the original trajectory of Yong Sheng's (Demon Path), and Chen Dezhang officially announced their breakup in January 1991.
After Zhou Huimin finished filming this movie, her relationship with Ni Zhou became public in a high-profile manner.
Stephen Chow, "???"
