"Well said!" Chen Fei raised his glass to greet Zou Wenhuai.

Zou Wenhuai smiled, took a sip of red wine, and breathed a sigh of relief.

His happy expression slowly turned sad for a while: "What a pity!"

"The road has been paved and the international stage has been set."

"Bruce Lee is gone. He was so young and strong, and he left quietly..."

Zou Wenhuai lowered his head and cut the steak carefully, preventing Chen Fei from seeing his sad expression.

Chen Fei sighed: "Yes, what a pity!"

Zou Wenhuai continued: "Although Jiahe later came to Hong Jinbao, who was also very good, they still could not reach the height of Bruce Lee."

"Fortunately, I was able to see the skills you displayed in Yuyue Izakaya, and I also watched your kung fu comedy movies."

"I think this hope can be placed on you Chen Fei!"

Chen Fei raised his eyebrows and his eyes were blazing.

This was what he wanted to hear from Zou Wenhuai, and wanted to hear him say it himself.

Chen Fei smiled and asked, "Is Zou Wengqian so sure?"

Zou Wenhuai laughed and said: "I have lived for most of my life, worked in movies for 30 years, and met countless people."

He said firmly: "I will never make a mistake."

"The box office of your Drunken Master will definitely not be low, and you will definitely become popular because of it, and fame and fortune will follow."

"So I think it's just the right time to talk to you about this decision."

Zou Wenhuai slowly took out a check from his suit pocket and gently placed it in front of Chen Fei.

"You are welcome to come to Golden Harvest for the next film, this is my salary."

Chen Fei lowered his head and glanced at the check. The amount written on it was a 2 followed by six 0s.

200 million Hong Kong dollars!
This amount of money is enough to buy seven or eight [-]-square-meter luxury homes in the most prosperous areas of Hong Kong Island.

The price is pretty good, and Zou Wenhuai is really generous.

"Thank you Zou Weng!"

Zou Wenhuai looked at Chen Fei thanking him with a smile on his face, and felt very happy.

You must know that an ordinary movie today may not have a total box office of 200 million.

No one could refuse such a large amount of money.

Who would have thought that Zou Wenhuai would immediately see Chen Fei shaking his head firmly at him.

"Huh?" Zou Wenhuai lowered his head and gave Chen Fei a questioning expression gracefully.

"The pay for this film is less?"

Chen Fei nodded: "No, nothing less."

"But for my next movie, it's going to be a lot less," he continued.

Zou Wenhuai showed a surprised expression, that expression was like the first time he saw Chen Fei knocking out a Yamaguchi-gumi killer with one punch.

"There are no outsiders here. You can tell me the price you want."

Chen Fei smiled and stretched out his palm with five fingers: "500 million."

Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and immediately turned into a kind smile.

He said leisurely: "You know that Xu Guanwen's movies are all hits, breaking box office records for several consecutive years, and several of his movies have topped the box office of the year."

"His current salary is only 400 million."

"Chen Fei, you might as well tell me what you think and let me know if it's worth the 500 million."

Chen Fei nodded and said, "I will write, direct and act in my next movie."

"My screenwriting consultants include two top screenwriters, Gu Long and Ni Kuang."

"I will form my own Chenjia class, establish Chenhe Pictures, and incorporate it under your Jiahe banner."

"So the next movie can help Golden Harvest double its profits."

Zou Wenhuai nodded while listening: "Very good!"

He sighed: "You are the first one who dares to talk about such a big idea in front of me, a young man who has no achievements yet." "Back then, Bruce Lee was so arrogant that he couldn't compare to you when we first met. This kind of courage now.”

Zou Wenhuai suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so happily.

Chen Fei looked at him quietly, his eyes burning.

He knew he would hear a satisfactory answer.

Zou Wenhuai said: "Even if you saved my life in front of a gang killer, it would be far more than 500 million."

"I believe you will not let me down."

"make a deal!"

He raised the red wine glass in front of Chen Fei and made a clear sound when it clinked with the glass in Chen Fei's hand.

"Thank you Zou Weng!" Chen Fei thanked him again.

He firmly believes that he will get this result, and he will go all out to create peaks.

In the world's hearts, only trust cannot be let down!

Zou Wenhuai smiled and pointed at the check on the table.

"You collect this money first, as part of the advance payment."

……

The kung fu comedy "Drunken Master" was fully released to the public and immediately caused a sensation.

The occupancy rate exceeded [-]%, and the venue was fully occupied during prime time.

It was a hit at the box office on the first day, and the final premiere revenue was 80 yuan.

It far exceeded the first-day box office record of "The Boxer" and even exceeded its three-day box office combined.

Because although the box office of "Boxer" reached 41 on the first day, its reputation dropped on the second day and the box office dropped sharply.

It was released three days in advance and has a total box office of 73.

Uncle Bo mobilized his contacts in the Teochew Ngee Ann community and called on all gang brothers to come and support him.

It just so happened that during this period, the rival 14K Society and other overseas societies were under police control, and the members of the Chao Nghe On Society were also free, and they happened to go to the cinema to spend money.

Therefore, it also played a role in the subsequent box office performance of the movie.

The next day, the entertainment pages of newspapers and magazines all published the headline entertainment news that "Drunken Master" defeated "Fist".

The huge disparity in the box office on the first day was exaggerated.

Lowe was the first to start the war, and the news media were happy to watch the excitement with the entire Hong Kong audience.

……

At this moment, in the office of Luowei Films.

"Bang!" There was a loud sound.

The glass of the big coffee table in front of Luo Wei was smashed into pieces by a coffee cup.

The coffee cup was smashed from Luo Wei's hand with astonishing force.

Half a cup of hot coffee boiled out and splashed away. Chenglong immediately dodged to avoid it.

Assistant director Chen Ziqiang frowned and said nothing.

The big financier Mr. Lin was standing far away by the window on the other wall, his eyes still looking at the bustling traffic on the street outside the window, his face expressionless.

Luo Wei twisted the "Oriental Daily" into a ball with both hands and threw it to the ground.

He roared angrily: "What the hell is this bird news written about?"

A series of expletives came out to greet parents: "On the first day's box office, can you tell whether you win or lose? It's all a lot of trouble!"

At this time, the phone on the executive desk suddenly rang.

Luo Wei rushed over and picked up the phone angrily, yelling: "I'm Luo Wei, tell me if you have anything to say!"

I just heard someone say: "Director Luo, I am Lao Hu, the person in charge of Golden Princess Cinema."

"The box office and reputation of your movie "Boxer" have been declining. What we, Lei Sheng, mean is that we may have to reduce the number of theaters you have."
