Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 427 The sky-high asking price

The lobby of Guan Zhiling's villa is as high as three floors. The crystal chandeliers inlaid on the ceiling look like stars dotted with stars when viewed from below.

Even though Zhang Weijian was already a well-informed person, he still felt insignificant while sitting on the sofa in the hall. He restrainedly picked up the tea cup on the coffee table in front of him, his hands trembling.

"Jianzi, why are you nervous? Haven't you met Mr. Li?"

The man sitting next to Zhang Weijian is young, broad and fat. When he smiles, his mung bean eyes narrow into a slit. With his beard and glasses, he is the legendary fat mantis!

This man looks harmless, but in fact he is Wang Jing, the top commercial film director in Hong Kong Island today.

Upon hearing Wang Jing's inquiry, Zhang Weijian suppressed his inner excitement and pretended to be nonchalant: "I...I'm not nervous!"

However, his trembling hands had already betrayed his heart!

Wang Jing couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you are recommended by me. You are the leading actor in this movie. Mr. Li will never object!"

"Against what?"

Wang Jing originally wanted to say something more, but a soft voice suddenly floated from upstairs, making Wang Jing sit up straight. At this time, Wang Jing looked more nervous than Zhang Weijian beside him.

As for Zhang Weijian, he stared at the stairs and swallowed involuntarily.

Almost a moment later, the two of them saw a man wearing a long gray silk nightgown walking down the stairs. It was Li Wannian.

"No...no...ha...hahaha!"

The two of them didn't bother about why Li Wannian was so weird about wearing a nightgown. Wang Jing smiled awkwardly, and Zhang Weijian on the side even laughed with him.

"Why did you come to me so late?"

Hearing Li Wannian's words, Wang Jing couldn't help but glance at the time. It wasn't even time for dinner at this time. Is it very late?

However, Wang Jing also knew that now was not the time to dwell on this. With a somewhat flattering smile, he said to Li Wannian: "Mr. Li, this is Zhang Weijian, the male protagonist of "Super School Bully", which will be released soon. "Parasite" was filmed by him!"

Wang Jing introduced Zhang Weijian to Li Wannian, and Li Wannian's reaction was beyond Wang Jing's expectation.

"Jianzi, are you getting more and more successful now?"

"It's all thanks to Mr. Li that you gave me the opportunity!"

"Oh, opportunities are all earned by yourself. If you are not capable, even if I give you a chance, you won't be able to grasp it!"

The conversation between Li Wannian and Zhang Weijian seemed very familiar, which made Wang Jing on the side more curious.

"Mr. Li, do you know Jianzi?"

"Of course, in fact, I knew him ten years ago! I remember there was a kid who had his Pokémon card stolen by a senior student, and it even made the news!"

Li Wannian also fell into memories at this time. He didn't expect that so many years had passed in such a flash!

The child he once was has grown up and become an artist under his own banner.

"Yes, thanks to the help of Mr. Li and you, our family was able to survive. To be honest, our family was almost unable to open the pot at that time. I didn't expect Mr. Li that you would still remember this incident!"

The two recalled the past, which surprised Wang Jing on the side. However, this guy was a shrewd man after all. After being surprised, he quickly came to his senses and began to calculate the benefits that this matter could bring to him. "The shooting styles of Director Tsui Hark and Director Wang Jing are different, and "Parasite" and "Super School Bully" are also two different movies. You need to adapt to this. However, you are a good actor, I believe in you It can be done!”

"Thank you, Mr. Li, I will definitely work hard and will not let down your work!"

Li Wannian's words made Zhang Weijian very motivated and wanted to go filming now.

Looking at Zhang Weijian's state, Wang Jing sighed in his heart: This guy is still a young man, and he actually drank such an obvious bowl of chicken soup so easily!

In fact, Wang Jing obviously miscalculated a bit. The reason why Zhang Weijian is so useful is not only the chicken soup itself, but more importantly, the person who feeds you the chicken soup!

For a person as high as Li Wannian, one sentence from him is more effective than 10,000 sentences from an ordinary person!

If nothing else, as long as word spreads about Li Wannian's praise of Zhang Weijian, it will be much easier for him to take on roles in the future than it is now!

"Boss, speaking of movies, I have some small ideas for this movie that I want to report to you!"

Seeing that Li Wannian was in a good mood at this time, Wang Jing took the opportunity to talk to Li Wannian.

This guy is really good at life. Obviously his movies have little to do with Li Wannian, and he is not a subordinate of Li Wannian, but a subordinate of Li Wanshan, but in front of Li Wannian, his attitude is always very low.

"what idea?"

Although Li Wannian knew that Wang Jing was changing the topic and benefiting himself by doing this, he didn't care about it. As long as Wang Jing could make the movie well, he didn't care about anything else.

"That's right, because this movie needs to recruit a lot of stars, and their looks and images need to be re-adjusted. Therefore, we may also need some images of your other comic characters!"

"Like which characters?"

Li Wannian asked with a somewhat cold smile on his face.

"Ichigo, Gundam, Naruto, just give me any number!"

"Do you want me to give you Luffy too?"

"Oh, that's not necessary, that character is not very popular right now..."

Halfway through, Wang Jing noticed the vague smile on Li Wannian's face, and immediately came back to his senses. He quickly said with a smile: "Oh, I just said this casually, but please don't take it seriously. !”

"Damn fat man, I told you before, right? Don't be like a hamster, trying to take over whatever good thing you see. All your actions must be based on the quality of the movie!"

"Yes, yes, you taught me a lesson!"

Wang Jing responded repeatedly.

But Li Wannian knew that this guy didn't listen at all and was just coping, so he continued.

"Don't even think about those comic characters. I can give you the portrait rights of "Street Fighter" and Wukong this time. It's already a great honor for you. If you want anything else, come and trade with me for your movie results!"

Capcom finally launched the game "Street Fighter" last year. Although the gameplay is very similar to "2D Brawl", it still attracted a large number of players and became popular throughout Asia.

"Yes! Mr. Li, don't worry, I will do a good job!"

After hearing what Li Wannian said, Wang Jing showed a bright smile.

In fact, this is the real purpose of his trip. He also knows that it is unrealistic to ask Li Wannian for so many copyrights. He is just asking for high prices and paying back the money!

Not to mention, everything seems to be going well on this trip!
