Chapter 284 [Come to your door]

"I wasn't hurt, they were just here to warn me."

Near a construction site, Bai Wei was explaining the situation at the time, "We didn't make a decision before. When we were constructing here, we rented a piece of land here to surround a wall for shooting, and restored it to them after the shooting."

"But the current situation is that two and a half sides of the wall have been built, and there is only half a side left to start shooting. However, the people in the construction team suddenly said that they would not work anymore. They disliked that the salary we gave was too low, but we are The wages are based on the current highest price in the market.”

"The owner of this land also hesitantly asked us to tear down these walls as soon as possible. I didn't know the reason at first. I thought that when you come back, I would contact President Matsubasuke to understand the situation. Let's go. We went through the traps, and it wasn’t until people from the Daochuan Society came to collect the protection money that we realized that someone was deliberately trying to mess with us..."

Now, in this area dominated by dust and cement, there is an open space with two towering walls abruptly built.

The two walls were about ten meters apart, standing there empty, and in the middle, half of the wall was still unfinished.

According to the plan of the script, there is another wall that connects the two separated walls to form an incomplete rectangle, just like a square chimney.

In the middle, of course, is Kayako's house.

In the ending plot of The Grudge 2, the Japanese side realized that this room was special, but they were afraid that destroying the house would make the situation worse, so the planning department proposed a special plan.

Completely abandon this area, build a high wall to completely separate this house from the country, so that people cannot enter the high wall, and bring out the resentment and resentment inside.

Of course, they couldn't actually arrange for a construction team to build the wall in this scene next to Kayako's house, so they found a construction site, paid a large sum of money to rent an area, and temporarily built a wall for filming. , and promised to help dismantle it after the end.

But just as the filming location was about to be completed, some trouble arose.

"One billion and yuan, they said that if they can pay the protection fee of one billion and yuan, they can help us solve the current troubles." Bai Wei continued, "And they promised that no matter what kind of filming the crew will do in the future, They will all be supportive and they want to be our friends, not our enemies.”

Now, in addition to the two of them at the construction site, there are also some Chinese workers squatting in the corner, pointing in this direction, but not coming over.

As for the rest of the crew, things like this cannot be solved with more people present, so they are all resting in the hotel for the time being.

"Being friends in such a threatening way? It's really special."

Lu Zhengyi smiled cheerfully, "It's not that we can't afford one billion yuan, but it's not necessary. Anyway, Chairman Matsuzuke has given us the right words. As investors, they will always stand by our side." , with Hebao’s size, although what it can do is very limited, it is enough.”

As a partner, Hebao Company has indeed tried its best.

In the absence of judicial favor, formal companies are limited to various terms and conditions, and generally cannot win against such violent associations.

After all, the former is just a businessman, while the latter, in addition to running business, also has a lot of 'housekeeping and nursing homes. ’

If you mess with this kind of group that will do whatever it takes to get out, you may be involved in a car accident, fall off a building, or... just driving an ordinary car on the way to get off work.

Of course, this is only for regular companies.

It just so happens that the Mei Tanuki crew is outside of this general specification.

Lu Zhengyi and his wife had anticipated similar situations before.

Many foreign companies come to Tang to do business, and some domestic companies will also do similar things. The more common ones are in the entertainment industry, such as catering, games, automobiles...

However, they really did not expect that the other party would use such a simple way to block it.

But if you think about it carefully, sometimes the simplest violence is actually the best solution.

Rather than plotting all kinds of public opinion wars and spending a lot of money on public relations and manipulating the direction of public opinion in order to suppress Lu Zhengyi and his crew, they are a local force. This approach is indeed very confident and also Easier.

"I took a look. If the construction continues, filming can start probably next week."

But then, Lu Zhengyi did not continue on this topic. Instead, he looked at Bai Wei and said, "As for the shooting, you can start making arrangements one after another, such as props, costumes, and extras. Are you ready?"

"These construction workers here, would you like to be on camera and act as extras for us?"

"If you don't want to, you may have to recruit someone else."

You can get paid as an extra just for showing your face. It's quite a deal. No one would refuse it, right?

Moreover, these construction workers are originally engaged in this field, so when they appear in the mirror, their behavior will be more natural.

"Let's talk, let's talk."

The topic changed so quickly that Bai Wei didn't react at once, "We had an agreement before and they were all willing to make a guest appearance, but that's not necessarily the case now. Director Lu, do we have to... pay?"

After all, with just one word from Daochuanshe, their entire construction team immediately went on strike.

Whether out of fear or simply obeying their superiors, it is unlikely that they will continue to cooperate with the crew.

If you think about it carefully, it is actually quite cost-effective for one billion yuan to cooperate with a company with a local community background.

After all, converted into Tang Yuan dollars, it's about 60 million yuan. Based on the money Director Lu has earned over the years, it should be considered a drop in the bucket, right?

What's more, there will be subsequent cooperation and profits, and this transaction will definitely not be a loss.

"You don't have to worry about that."

Lu Zhengyi waved his hand, "Okay, then you go back to the hotel first, and I'll go talk to them."

Pay? Of course it's impossible.

If the Daochuan Club had come to them through formal channels before filming and contacted them to seek cooperation and investment, the money would be used as construction labor and site fees, material fees, and investment dividends and given to them, there might still be room for negotiation.

But it is obviously impossible in this way now.

"what?"

Bai Wei is a little confused. Let’s talk?

How to talk?

……

……

Sitting and talking, of course.

As a country where associations are legal, Lu Zhengyi can even search for their office building on the map. ’

"Sir, you..."

Shinjuku area,

It says it's an office building, but it's actually a nightclub.

Although it was daytime, the door of this nightclub was still open, and from time to time, men laughing happily would walk in with women in their arms.

It is worth mentioning that just standing on the street, the rich smell of various perfumes seems to have become the air here. Lu Zhengyi just smelled it lightly, and there were osmanthus and jasmine. , rose, citrus...or perfumes made from flowers, or perfumes with spices extracted from fruits as ingredients.

As he approached the door, the doorman quickly came up to him. In addition to a flattering smile on his face, there was also some fear.

The reason to please Lu Zhengyi is because of Lu Zhengyi’s appearance.

To outsiders, he was wearing a tailored suit at this moment and holding a black cane like a sleeping snake in his hand. It was really intimidating, a bit like a gentleman from the last century. déjà vu.

The fear was of course due to Lu Zhengyi's ferocious appearance and tall and strong body.

"Hello."

Lu Zhengyi spoke to him skillfully using harmonious language, "I am not a guest for fun, I am... invited here by the president of Dachuan Society. I have a business to discuss."

"My name is Lu Zhengyi. I am a director. You can use the inside line to verify the specific situation. By the way, help me lead the way."

He was very polite and courteous. He also informed me of his name and purpose of visit, and came to the door openly.     “Okay, okay.”

The doorman quickly replied in a low voice, but he still welcomed Lu Zhengyi into the room first, and then used the headset to talk quietly to the steward inside.

"Yes, he said his name is Lu Zhengyi and he is a director."

"Well, he looks tall and big, a bit fierce, I mean, powerful."

"OK……"

The doorman followed the steward and reported the situation, and also described Lu Zhengyi's appearance.

But Lu Zhengyi was nearby, but he received a lot of attention.

He didn't do anything, just stood near the front desk, but both the guests and the staff inside would unconsciously raise their heads and cast their eyes on him.

The adjective "mighty" is indeed a bit too vivid.

Some people even began to chat in a low voice, wondering if these were thugs from other societies, and if they were of mixed blood. After all, in their memories, it was often those who were of mixed blood with the West who could have such burly bodies and edges. Distinctive appearance.

"You, hello!"

Soon, a panting middle-aged man hurriedly came down from the elevator and ran towards this side in a hurry, "Hello, Director Lu, I kept you waiting for a long time. Please come with me."

After the middle-aged man appeared, all the whispers nearby disappeared, replaced by fear and panic.

This new middle-aged man seems to be of high status, and also looks fierce.

But compared to Yu Lu Zhengyi, his ferocity is entirely reflected in the scars on his face.

"It's troublesome."

Lu Zhengyi glanced at him briefly, but did not ask his name or let him introduce himself.

The scar-faced man didn't say much and led him upstairs.

During the whole process, he didn't say a word except for looking at people with his eyes from time to time.

Even when we first met, he was very polite, as if he was here to welcome some distinguished guest.

But it is indeed a distinguished guest.

Distinguished guests worth up to one billion yuan.

"Ding-dong-"

When the elevator reached the top floor, the elevator doors slowly opened from both sides.

What greeted Lu Zhengyi was a long corridor, and on both sides of the corridor stood well-trained men in black suits who looked like dogs.

At the end of the corridor, a white-haired old man who looked a little old, probably in his sixties, was looking at him with burning eyes.

And when he saw himself, his eyes showed a little surprise.

"The layout and arrangement of this decoration are quite interesting."

With a smile on his face and a cane in his hand, Lu Zhengyi slowly walked through the corridor and came to the white-haired old man under the gazes of everyone, "Hello, you should be the president of Daochuan Society, right?" ?”

As a host, as long as you watch your guests walking down this long corridor under the gaze of these eyes, you can probably judge their courage.

Whether in movies, TV shows or in reality, this kind of decoration pattern is common.

"Speak with dignity..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person standing nearest, probably the old man's right-hand man, shouted loudly.

The tone of his speech was strange, sounding a bit like a big tongue.

"Hey, be polite to our guests!"

However, before the left and right hands showed off their power, the white-haired old man frowned, stopped his men in dissatisfaction, and then asked kindly, "Director Lu, you are so courageous. Did you participate in any armed training when you were young? "

What was more surprising was that when he spoke to Lu Zhengyi, he used Tang dialect.

Although he is not very skilled, it can be seen that there is no problem with basic communication.

"When you were young?"

Lu Zhengyi looked at him funny, "I'm only in my twenties, old man. No matter how young I am, do you plan to listen to me talk about things that happened when I was a teenager? Sorry, I was there at that time go to school."

"If not, Director Lu is really talented. Maybe he was a general in his previous life." The white-haired old man took the initiative to extend his skinny palm, "I, Aso Kuichigo, am temporarily in charge of the Inagawashe family."

"Lu Zhengyi is a director."

Lu Zhengyi also stretched out his hand, "General? Many people like to describe me like this. It's probably because I look too fierce and strong."

"Director Lu has really trained his body very well."

Aso Kuichigo stepped out and said, "Please come in."

Behind him, the open door was so dark that nothing could be seen clearly.

As people get older, they always like to do things that are mysterious and mysterious so that they can easily identify other people's personalities.

But now that he had spoken, Lu Zhengyi did not hesitate and walked in casually without saying a single polite word.

Although the visibility in the dark room was not high, it made no difference to him.

In the room, there were many antique-looking and expensive ornaments, as well as some firearms and knives that looked like they were regularly maintained. But compared to these, Lu Zhengyi was more concerned about where the sofa was.

"Puch."

But soon, when Lu Zhengyi sat down on the sofa and the door of the room was closed, he couldn't help but smile.

This laughter that did not conceal the sense of ridicule made the three people present stunned.

Then, before they could get angry, Lu Zhengyi spoke first.

"President Aso, you just created such a huge battle outside."

He looked at Aso Kuichigo who was sitting across from him in a funny way, and the men standing behind him like two guards, "But you don't even have the courage to talk to me alone now, isn't this a little bit... It’s too… self-deceiving.”

He could understand that a gray-haired old man over sixty years old would have some concerns about such a strong man like him. This was normal.

But combined with the actions outside just now, it was really too funny.

"You guy!"

As soon as Lu Zhengyi finished speaking, not only did Aso Kuichigo's expression turn cold, but even the two men standing behind him took out firearms from their arms and pointed them straight at him!
