Island Tycoon

Chapter 9
"Huang Tianlin! I know, I know, it's the great director of TVB." Mother Zhong became more and more excited as she spoke, shaking Ye Jingcheng's hand constantly.Question: "Then have you...discussed how much to pay my daughter?"

He was also thinking about these two invitations in his heart. Ye Jingcheng had already stated that the filming of this drama would start in a few days, and that "Clear Water and Cold Mountain Killing Gold" had to go through the program of the wireless station, so he didn't know when it would be able to start filming.

"The preliminarily negotiated salary for Ms. Zhong is [-] yuan. Of course, there is still room for negotiation. In addition, if the film is a hit, the actors can also get the corresponding dividends."

Ye Jingcheng knew that Liu Songren would never be able to make such a condition. After all, Zhong Chuhong was still a newcomer, and the salary of [-] yuan for a movie was already the highest price.Ye Jingcheng directly offered a sky-high price of [-] yuan, with the purpose of making Liu Songren retreat.

"Ten thousand!!!"

Today, the average income on Hong Kong Island is only about 800 yuan, and the monthly consumption of housing and food is about [-] yuan per person.

1 yuan is worth half a year's income of this clothing store, how could Mother Zhong raise the price with Ye Jingcheng, she nodded in agreement.And he kept blinking at his daughter, telling her to agree quickly.

"This brother is really generous, I wonder if I can reveal the title of the film?" Liu Songren behaved very gentlemanly, and outsiders could not guess his thoughts at all.

In fact, he is more envious now. He has played supporting roles in two film and television works in TVB, and he has also shot one or two movies. He can barely be regarded as a little popular.

In his situation, the remuneration for filming TV dramas is only [-] per episode, and the asking price for movies is only around [-]. Ye Jingcheng's remuneration somewhat makes him feel jealous.

Thinking back, he was just here as a lobbyist this time, and it would not be of any real benefit for Zhong Chuhong to agree to him or not.It's better to get acquainted with someone like Ye Jingcheng first, maybe it will help him in his future.

"I'm not afraid of my brother's jokes. I came up with the title of the film on the spur of the moment. It's called "Human Meat Roasting Meat Shop". Isn't it a bit corny?" Ye Jingcheng laughed at himself.

"A bloody horror movie?"

Everyone present immediately had an association, and this subject is not very attractive at the moment.In other words, no one has been able to really capture the essence of this type of film.

"It seems that Uncle Tianlin is ready to wipe his son's ass this time." Liu Songren secretly smiled.

But knowing the truth, Liu Songren politely handed a card to Ye Jingcheng, and said with a sneer, "Ye Sheng, this is my private number. If there is any good role in the future, I need Mr. Ye to take care of it."

After speaking, he left a number for Zhong's mother, and left the clothing store wisely.

As for Zhong's mother, she didn't think too much about it. It doesn't matter if it's a bad movie or not, as long as the salary is attractive enough.Of course, she doesn't take on all kinds of dramas, so she can't really cheat her daughter, can she?

So he reminded: "Ye Sheng, you know that my Ah Hong is a young girl. Although she lacks a chance now, she won't accept dubious movies."

"Mother Zhong, you don't have to worry about this. I value reputation more than you. There are absolutely no unbearable scenes in it."

The original version of "Human Meat Char Siew Buns" did have the element of selling meat, but given the economic situation at the time, it would definitely not work without this condiment.Among them, the plot of selling meat must be revised, and Ye Jingcheng doesn't want others to think of Fengyue movies when they mention him.

Of course, at this time, there was no such thing as a romantic movie, but an erotic movie.

"That's good, Ye Sheng, let's see if the salary is..." Seeing that Zhong's mother was more realistic, she touched the back of the other hand with her hand, and then rubbed her thumb and index finger.

"Mom! Let me decide for myself, okay?"

Seeing that Mother Zhong had agreed, Zhong Chuhong stomped aside.As for Zhong's father, he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. If he didn't pay attention, he would be ignored.

"Hong, you are such an adult now, can you think about it for your younger siblings, do you think they have no books to study? Ye Sheng sincerely asked you to be the heroine, and you are still playing your temper here."

Zhong's mother played both soft and hard ways, leaving Zhong Chuhong with nothing to do.

"Ye Sheng, we can sign a contract at any time, but can the salary be approved within a few days?"

It was also a helpless move for Zhong's mother to do this. Zhong Chuhong still has two younger sisters and a younger brother. The tuition fees for the three of them are a lot of money. The tuition fees have been raised now, but the living expenses have not yet been settled.

It is undeniable that Zhong's mother is a bit obsessed with money, but it is not enough to sell her daughter for money. At most, she is asking her to do something she doesn't like.

"That's not a problem. Why don't Ms. Zhong go for an audition with me, it will help her adapt to the role. As for the salary and contract, how about I bring them here tomorrow?"

Seeing Zhong Chuhong's displeasure, Ye Jingcheng excused her, and at the same time created a chance for himself to be alone.

"That's the best, that's the best." Mother Zhong didn't think in other directions, the sun was shining outside, no matter how rampant Ye Jingcheng was, what bad things could he do?What's more, Zhong Chuhong is not stupid, she will never let someone bully her clearly.

So Mother Zhong told Zhong Chuhong who was still sulking and tossing about her clothes: "Ah Hong, you and Ye Sheng go to try out the mirror. Don't make any excuses for me, it is enough for me and your dad to watch in this store."

Zhong Chuhong just wanted to find an excuse to shirk, but she didn't expect that Zhong's mother would give her a vaccination first, and then reluctantly followed Ye Jingcheng to leave.

After walking out of the shop, Ye Jingcheng took the initiative to create a topic, saying, "Miss Zhong, are you still angry with Auntie?"

"No, I'm angry with you if I want to be angry." Zhong Chuhong glanced at him.Question: "Aren't you selling kebabs? Why did you become a filmmaker again?"

"Ahem, selling kebabs is only a part-time job, and making movies is a full-time job." Ye Jingcheng coughed twice. It is very troublesome to explain, the best way is...not to explain.

Zhong Chuhong asked again: "Then why do so many Hong Kong sisters choose me instead of you?"

After thinking for a while, Ye Jingcheng found a one-size-fits-all excuse.Said: "That's because Miss Zhong, your image is very suitable to be the heroine of this play."

"Okay, call me Ah Hong." After finishing speaking, Zhong Chuhong put on a grimace, and repeated what he said just now in a strange voice.Said: "I think this role is very suitable for you, why do you all have the same lines."

"Haha, that proves that those people have the same vision as me. In fact, Auntie is also thinking about your future. She doesn't want you to toil like them for the rest of your life." The topic further escalated, exactly what Ye Jingcheng thought.

"I know. It's all about money. It would be great if this world could survive without money." Zhong Chuhong sighed.

In fact, she has a very stubborn temper, that's why she obediently listened to Mother Zhong's arrangement.It's not that there is no way to deal with the other party's arrogance, but because of the current situation at home.

"Go, I'll take you to live a happy life without relying on money." Zhong Chuhong was still sighing, but Ye Jingcheng took the opportunity to grab her hand, and pulled her to run in one direction.

"Hey, didn't you say to audition? Where are you taking me, hey—"

Under Ye Jingcheng's pull, Zhong Chuhong had no choice but to run along.Seeing Ye Jingcheng's serious expression, Zhong Chuhong laughed secretly, so this person is a big fool.

Even if there is a life without money, there is no need to prove it to her, right?I am not someone to him.

Along the way, I felt Zhong Chuhong's skin that was not smooth due to lack of maintenance.When the two arrived at their final destination, Zhong Chuhong first looked around and asked, "Why did you bring me to the park?"

"A life of wanton enjoyment is nothing more than eating, drinking, playing, and having fun. Taking you to the park is naturally a pastime, to experience playing and having fun."

From Zhong Chuhong's eager eyes, Ye Jingcheng knew that the boring life was not suitable for her, and now she was just trying to live an ordinary life, and the fact proved that she was just forcing herself to adapt to such a life.

After speaking, Ye Jingcheng let go of Zhong Chuhong's wrist and blended into the crowd. There are not so many pastimes in this era, so the park is a good place for recreation. Men, women, old and young have fun together, some strolling in the park, and some under the shade of trees Those who took a nap, and those who danced in the open space...

On the other end, Ye Jingcheng had already become acquainted with a few young men and women who were playing dance, while Zhong Chuhong still stood there with a bit of shyness.

"What! Can't save face? Or do you think they don't deserve to hang out with you?" Ye Jingcheng showed a playful expression.

"I never said that."

Zhong Chuhong's family background is not good, and it is very rare to come to the park for recreation, so how could he have the idea of ​​disgusting others.But she was a girl anyway, so couldn't this Ye Jingcheng be more considerate of her?
"Come on." Looking at Zhong Chuhong who was embarrassed, Ye Jingcheng simply pulled her up and began to imitate the dance of these people.

Not long after, Zhong Chuhong let go of her movements, but when she saw Ye Jingcheng's dancing skills, she immediately laughed regardless of her appearance, and said mockingly: "Hahaha...you are dancing the toad dance."

As soon as these words came out, the other men and women also laughed, because Ye Jingcheng's movements were too weird, and the same kind of dance was displayed on him, which was completely ridiculous.

Therefore, no one is perfect. In terms of dancing, whether it is in this life or in the previous life, Ye Jingcheng has no talent at all, it can even be said to be negative, and he was often ridiculed in his previous life.

"Yes, yes. Then you have to be more careful in the future." Ye Jingcheng scratched the other person's nose and said roguely. "I'm a bad toad who keeps an eye on the beautiful swan, and I'll eat you when you don't pay attention."

"Tch, eat it if you can."

Zhong Chuhong's face was a little red, and she felt a little deer bumping in her heart.In order not to let other people see her embarrassment, Zhong Chuhong deliberately distracted everyone and said, "Let's dance again."
