Reverse Rebirth 1990

Chapter 328 338 [Red Square Flying Dragon]

Inside the Cathedral of Our Lady——
Song Zhichao went in alone, and Chekhov followed him, helping him lead the way.

Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong were waiting outside.

When you walk in, you can see that the church is really big, magnificent and spectacular.Looking at it from a glance, it is resplendent and resplendent, with a kind of Gothic weirdness.

In front of the church, a burly man in a suit and top hat was talking affectionately with a priest.

Chekov asked Song Zhichao to wait for a while, until the man in the suit finished talking with the priest and made a sign of the cross on his chest. Then Chekov stepped forward and said a few words to the man very respectfully.

The burly man turned his back to Song Zhichao, so that from Song Zhichao's perspective, he couldn't see what he looked like at all, but he could roughly see the outline of his side face, four characters with sharp edges and corners.

After a while, the burly man turned around and walked towards Song Zhichao.

Only then did Song Zhichao see the other person's appearance clearly. It was an unusually tough Russian man, with blue eyes, brown hair, a tall Russian nose bridge, and thick lips, but there was a scar on his left cheek , completely destroyed his handsomeness, but instead gave people an inexplicable evil spirit.

This can't help but remind Song Zhichao of a famous movie --- "Scarface".In that play, Al Pacino played a godfather-level character thoroughly, and Mr. Pavlov in front of him is obviously the "Godfather" in reality.

Pavlov walked up to Song Zhichao, stretched out his broad palm, and with a smile on his face opposite to his hideous scar, said, "Welcome, dear friend from Hong Kong."

Song Zhichao shook hands with him, feeling that the other's hand was very broad and heavy.

"You must already know my name, my name is Pavlov." Pavlov said to Song Zhichao very friendly.

Song Zhichao said, "My surname is Song, and my name is Song Zhichao."

Pavlov just laughed, "Actually, your Chinese names are all similar in my opinion, and the pronunciation is so weird--I'm sorry, I don't mean to slander you, but it's really difficult for me to understand your names. Remember, why don't I call you 'Song'!"

Song Zhichao shrugged and said it was okay.

Seeing that Song Zhichao was so talkative, Pavlov was also very happy, so he motioned to discuss things elsewhere.

Song Zhichao also knew that it was inappropriate to discuss business in a place like a church, so he followed Pavlov outside.

……

Squares, open-air cafes—
The brightly colored banners of the cafes fluttered in the wind.

Autumn in Moscow is shiveringly cold - of course, this is only for some people from Hong Kong.

If it wasn't for the importance of business, Song Zhichao would definitely not want to discuss business in this damn open-air cafe.

On the contrary, Pavlov, a local, seemed to be immune to the cold. Under the parasol, with his legs crossed, he was biting a cigar and drinking coffee, looking like he was enjoying himself.

Around, four or five men in black guarded Pavlov's sides very dedicatedly. They were all Pavlov's bodyguards. It was said that they were very sharp, and there were also masters from the KGB.Now that the country is relatively turbulent, it is really not easy for these people to make a living.

Looking at the square above, there is a steady flow of people, and it is very lively.

Not far away, several Russians were performing traditional Russian acrobatics, and some blonde beauties in traditional Russian costumes were selling flowers to tourists.

"Do you know, dear Song, among so many foreign tourists, I like you Hong Kong tourists the most." Pavlov said suddenly, "Because you Hong Kong people are very pragmatic and know how to choose partners—— , I still like your Hong Kong movies very much, I remember well, there was a movie last year that was filmed in the Red Square in Moscow, what's the name..." Tapped his temple with his finger: "By the way, it's called "Red Square" Field of Flying Dragons, I wonder if you have heard of it?"

Seeing that Pavlov suddenly mentioned Hong Kong movies, and Song Zhichao liked the "Red Square Flying Dragon" better, Song Zhichao couldn't help laughing.

"Red Square Flying Dragon" is a Kung Fu movie that was released in Hong Kong directly after it was filmed here in 1990 last year. The starring role is Hong Kong action star Xu Guanjie.

Xu Guanjie originally filmed this movie to fight against the big star Jackie Chan, because at this time Jackie Chan was already in full swing, and he had completely overwhelmed Xu Guanjie in terms of fame.

It's a pity that although this is a very good big production, and it traveled all the way to the Soviet Union to shoot, it turned out to be a disastrous box office failure, which established Jackie Chan's status as the big brother in the film industry.Xu Guanjie also lost his reputation because of this, and even his reputation gradually declined, and he gradually faded out of the film industry.

After Song Zhichao told Pavlov about the release of this film in Hong Kong like a treasure, Pavlov sighed and said: "It's a pity, I think this film is very good. When it was filmed in Red Square, I But they didn't even charge a ruble for the handling fee, and even asked someone to buy flowers for the beautiful lady in the play, but I didn't expect the box office to be so miserable."

The so-called "handling fee" is actually a "protection fee" in a disguised form for filming abroad. The most well-known one is that Jackie Chan filmed "Red Fan District" in the United States and was charged protection fees by American gangsters, which led to conflicts. Almost started a fight.

It's the same here, every place has its own rules, you can't just shoot in the Red Square if you want to shoot, you have to "offer" to a boss like Pavlov.

But Song Zhichao's focus is not on this, but on who is the lady in the play?
If you remember correctly, the heroines of this play are Maggie Cheung, Li Zhi and Li Lizhen, and I don't know which one Pavlov is talking about.

But Song Zhichao also knew that these were not important, what was important was Pavlov's purpose for using these as the opening remarks of the negotiation.

Soon, Pavlov gave Song Zhichao the answer.

"I do business just like I do. If you like it, you can not charge a ruble, and you can also send flowers to you; on the contrary, if I hate it, then you not only have to pay the venue fee, but also persuade me to do it. After finishing speaking, Pavlov looked at Song Zhichao with sharp eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and the scar on his face looked very hideous, "Now, dear Song, you can convince me—" Looking down I checked my watch, "I only give you 5 minutes!"

Song Zhichao smiled. Facing the pressure from Pavlov, he picked up the coffee cup calmly, took a sip slowly, then met Pavlov's eyes, and then said: "No need For 5 minutes, I will only say one sentence - you will share [-]%!"

Pavlov, laughing.
