Rebooting the Peak Years of 1985

Chapter 379 Pan Disheng comes to visit

"Lily...Wang Lili, what's the matter?"

Chen Huajiang picked up Big Brother and blurted out instinctively, but he quickly reacted and said it again.

This made Wang Lili fall silent on the other end of the phone, and made Chen Huajiang almost reach out and slap himself.

This is not a slip of the tongue, but a habit brought from previous lives.

After all, she was the woman he slept with in his previous life, so he couldn't hold back the habitual address.

"Mr. Chen, Boss Pan and Director Wu are looking for you. May I ask if you are free to meet them?" Wang Lili's voice sounded, calm and unaffected.

Chen Huajiang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Are they already in the company now?"

"Yes." Wang Lili replied.

"Okay, you leave them here, I'll rush over right away."

Chen Huajiang said and hung up the phone, then patted Ajie on the shoulder.

Needless to say where he was going, Ajie already understood, turned the car and drove towards Kunlun Trading Company.

Kunlun Trading Company is far away from Kunlun Entertainment Company. The trading company is in the Wan Chai Pier area, while the entertainment company is near Nathan Road.

After driving for about half an hour, the two of them arrived at the trading company.

Arriving at the office, Dickson Pan and John Woo were waiting in the office.

The difference is that John Woo is standing, Dickson Poon is sitting, smoking a cigar with his thighs crossed, and John Woo is holding an ashtray beside him.

"Boss Pan is so arrogant that he wants Director Wu to serve as an ashtray."

Chen Huajiang walked over and said with a smile.

As soon as he said this, John Woo's face was naturally filled with embarrassment, shame and anger.

He was also angry because Pan Disheng treated him like this, but the situation was compelling and he did not dare to lose his temper with Pan Disheng.

Because of the popularity of "A Better Tomorrow", John Woo was recruited by Dickson Poon to film a new movie. The recruiting fee was naturally quite high, with a full 800 million.

But Dickson Poon was not stupid, and he kept his hand. He bet against John Woo that the first film would be an instant hit, not to reach the level of "The True Colors of Heroes", at least it had to win the box office championship.

At that time, John Woo was the most confident, thinking that there was no problem, it was just a trivial matter.

First of all, Dickson Poon is willing to spend money, and the 1000 million budget does not interfere with his selection of actors and filming.

Secondly, "Autumn Fairy Tales" has gathered big names, including Chow Yun-fat, Zhong Chuhong, Leslie Cheung and other popular stars, which are enough to guarantee attendance.

Under such circumstances, he couldn't win the box office championship. John Woo felt that he would never forgive himself, so he naturally patted his chest and pledged his support.

As a result, the development of things caught him off guard, and "Autumn Fairy Tale" was completely defeated by "Young and Dangerous".

Under such circumstances, Dickson Poon would certainly not let John Woo go. He would either pay back the money or sign a contract of sale with him for ten movies.

800 million had already been given to his wife Shi Nanshi by John Woo, and Shi Nanshi was a business-savvy person, so he spent all of it to buy off-the-plan properties.

If you look at it from a long-term perspective, this investment is not wrong.

The property market in Hong Kong is currently at a low ebb, and even the four major families are buying land at the bottom. The timing for Mr. Shi's entry is perfect.

But it was impossible to get the money back immediately after spending it. John Woo had no choice but to sign the contract.

He had already regretted it in his heart, especially when he compared Pan Disheng with Chen Huajiang, he felt very anxious.

Although Dickson Pan is also majestic, he is sinister, or rather powerful.

Once someone is not as he wants, he must humiliate the other party and spread it on the other party.

These days, this isn't the first time such a scene has happened.

"Boss Pan doesn't sell your labeled clothes, so why did you come to me? What's the matter?"

Chen Huajiang sat on the boss's chair, cupped his hands together, looked at Pan Disheng with a smile and asked.

There is something interesting about this person. He entered the entertainment industry firstly to promote his brand, and secondly to chase girls.

When I finally quit the entertainment industry, although I made a lot of money, I failed to achieve both goals.

Although the brand clothes were well promoted, it was reported that a large number of the clothes were OEM. As for the girls, they naturally left him and married other wealthy businessmen.

"Boss Chen, don't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for slander!"

"I, Dickson Poon, nicknamed the King of Famous Brands, how could I get rid of such a self-defeating thing like OEM. It's all fabricated by the third-rate tabloids. They say I can ignore it, but if you slander me, I can't get through it with you."

Pan Disheng put down his crossed legs and stared at Chen Huajiang with a dissatisfied frown.

"Okay, okay, I know a thing or two about your industry, don't act like a little white rabbit."

"And this is my office, I can say whatever I want, you sue me? Hehe."

Chen Huajiang waved his hand, curled his lips and said disdainfully.

Pan Disheng's face darkened, but he was also a calm person, and he quickly regained his indifferent expression.

"I came here this time to acquire the copyright of "A Better Tomorrow" from you. I plan to film the sequel to "A Better Tomorrow"..."

"impossible!"

Pan Disheng opened his mouth to tell the purpose of coming here, but was rejected by Chen Huajiang before he could finish his words.

"Boss Chen, don't you think about it? The director of "A Better Tomorrow" is here. This is a very personal movie."

"Without John Woo's direction, this series of yours would have been rotten, and you would have had the copyright for nothing but no profit."

"I advise you to listen to my offer. It is better to reconcile enemies than to end them."

Pan Disheng said dissatisfiedly that he spoke much faster this time, like a machine gun, apparently because he was afraid that Chen Huajiang would interrupt him again.

Not to mention, it's very useful.

Chen Huajiang had no intention of selling the copyright to "A Better Tomorrow", so of course he had to interrupt him when he was talking. However, he failed to find an entry point and let him finish.

"Haha, you guys are really arrogant. "A Better Tomorrow" does have John Woo's personal style, but if you say that no one at Kunlun Entertainment can make a good sequel, then you are looking down on people."

"I won't sell "A Better Tomorrow" to you. By the way, I plan to start the sequel of "A Better Tomorrow", and you should be able to see it next year. Boss Pan, don't forget to buy tickets to support him. By the way, Let’s see if our Kunlun Entertainment company has the capability to shoot a sequel.”

Chen Huajiang said sarcastically, then raised his hand and looked at his watch, which meant he was about to see off the guests.

"Chen Huajiang, you are so crazy!"

"I, Pan Disheng, have come to discuss with you because I think highly of you. I want to give you face to buy the copyright in your hands. But in the end, you didn't give me any face at all!"

"Okay, okay, remember, don't regret what happened today. Let's go!"

Pan Disheng stood up suddenly, stared at Chen Huajiang with an annoyed look and gritted his teeth.

The other party's attitude did not give him any face, which made him very angry and hated the other party in his heart.

"If you need money, give money, and if you need people, you must give me a better movie than the sequel to "A Better Tomorrow." I want it to be released at the same time!"

As soon as he went out, Pan Disheng said to John Woo angrily.

Obviously, he did it on purpose, deliberately letting Chen Huajiang hear these words.
