Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2286
Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei suddenly received a call from Lin Daoqiu asking them to go over, which made them all feel very strange.

But strange is strange, Lin Daoqiu naturally did not dare to neglect them when he summoned them.

So the two hurriedly set off and went to the coffee shop they had made an appointment with Lin Daoqiu.

Although the Spring Festival is approaching, because most of the people here in Xiangjiang will spend the New Year in Xiangjiang, the atmosphere here is no different from usual, and there are even many more customers who come to visit.

After Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei entered, they found Lin Daoqiu sitting in the corner waiting for them.

The two hurried forward.

"Mr. Lin..."

Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei greeted Lin Daoqiu respectfully.

"sit down."

Lin Daoqiu nodded, and then pointed to the seat opposite him.

Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei sat down quickly, and then the two of them just looked at Lin Daoqiu without speaking.

In fact, they didn't know what to say, because they didn't know what Lin Daoqiu suddenly asked them for.

"How's the progress of "Haunted Police Mansion"? I heard that you seem to have settled on two important roles?"

After being asked by Lin Daoqiu, Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei realized that Lin Daoqiu called them here today because he wanted to know about the progress of the preparations for "The Devil's Office".

Liu Zhenwei quickly replied.

"That's true. We're looking for Jacky Cheung for the lead role, and Xu Guanying for the supporting role. Both of them have already agreed to star in "Ghost in the Police Station."

Hearing what Liu Zhenwei said, Lin Daoqiu suddenly laughed.

Both Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei didn't understand what Lin Daoqiu was laughing at, they all looked confused.

"As far as I know, the combined salary of Xueyou and Xu Guanying is almost 200 million, and besides them, you have to hire other supporting actors, so I want to know how much money you have left for filming?"

Asked by Lin Daoqiu, Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei were speechless. They didn't expect that Lin Daoqiu would find them for this matter today.

If you don't explain this matter to Lin Daoqiu clearly now, then the matter may suddenly become very difficult.

But the problem now is that Jacky Cheung was tricked by Liu Zhenwei using Lin Daoqiu. If Liu Zhenwei and Lin Daoqiu were telling the truth, then he was worried that he would be overwhelmed by then.

Wang Jiawei turned his head and looked at Liu Zhenwei, because Liu Zhenwei was responsible for this matter. Although he knew everything about it, he felt that it had nothing to do with him at all.

Liu Zhenwei smiled awkwardly, and then could only make up an excuse.

"Mr. Lin, it's actually like this. We told Xueyou and Brother Ying about the situation. They were very considerate of our situation and decided to lower their pay to act in our film."

Liu Zhenwei's answer does not sound like a problem, this is also a long-term occurrence in the entertainment industry.

But the problem now is that Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar Wai are not well-known in the film industry at all, why should others give you this face?

If Lau Zhen Wai and Wong Kar Wai are like their descendants, who have already made several famous films and gained a lot of fame in the film circle, then Lin Daoqiu can understand that they can persuade Jacky Cheung and Xu Guanying to lower their salaries.

However, judging from the current situation, Lin Daoqiu can't think of any reason why Jacky Cheung and Xu Guanying would lower their salary to make this "Haunted Police Station".

"Shall I call and check?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at Liu Zhenwei and asked.

Liu Zhenwei was at a loss for words when he heard it, because Lin Daoqiu would know the truth as soon as he called to check.

Seeing Liu Zhenwei's frightened expression, Lin Daoqiu knew that what he just said was a lie.

"I'm giving you one last chance, what is the real situation, tell me honestly right away, otherwise it will be too late to regret it."

Originally, Liu Zhenwei wanted to get away with it, but now it seems impossible.

Wang Jiawei next to him has silently lowered his head, it seems that he has accepted his fate.

"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie, but I really had to. I really don't know how to explain it to you."

When Liu Zhenwei said these words, he looked like he was about to cry, because he didn't know how he would be so bold that he dared to use Lin Daoqiu's name to suppress other people's salary.

"Talk about things, don't cry in front of me, it's useless to me."

Lin Daoqiu looked at Liu Zhenwei with a serious face. The other party wanted to win Lin Daoqiu's sympathy with this method of gaining sympathy.

"Mr. Lin is actually like this. When we first chose the actor, we thought of many people, but their salary was too expensive, and we couldn't afford it, so we finally found Jacky Cheung. ..."

"But even Jacky Cheung's salary is 120 million. If we calculate it this way, we simply can't afford to hire other people, so...so we tried a way to lower his salary to 60."

Liu Zhenwei couldn't tell the truth, so Wang Jiawei took the initiative to do it for him.

Because he has already noticed that Lin Daoqiu's anger value is rising, if he doesn't tell the other party what he wants to know quickly, then not only Liu Zhenwei will be unlucky, but Wang Jiawei will also be implicated.

So Wang Jiawei hurriedly told Lin Daoqiu the whole thing.

After listening to Wang Jiawei's words, Lin Daoqiu finally understood why they could afford to hire these stars and still have money left over for filming.

"How did you lower his salary?"

Lin Daoqiu was very curious, how did Lau Zhenwei and Wong Kar Wai suppress Jacky Cheung's salary by half.

You must know that this is not something that can be easily done. After all, Jacky Cheung's salary is definitely not high among the current male stars.

And as far as Lin Daoqiu knows, Jacky Cheung has just raised his salary not long ago, and suddenly he was asked to reduce his salary by half to star in "The Ghost of the Police". In terms of the abilities of Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai, it is really amazing to be able to do this. It's a bit unbelievable.

When asked by Lin Daoqiu, Wang Jiawei immediately turned his head to Liu Zhenwei, because the other party made this matter, and he was just passively accepting it.

"I... We talked to Jacky Cheung's agent, Chen Ziqiang, about the approval of "The Ghost Police Office", and they agreed."

After Liu Zhenwei spoke, his voice became softer and softer. If you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't be able to hear what he was saying.

But even so, Lin Daoqiu already knew that Liu Zhenwei's ability to lower Jacky Cheung's salary was entirely due to his own reasons.

"The two of you are really bold enough to act recklessly. You already knew the power of a fox and a tiger before the filming started. I really admire you two."
