Chapter 201 Liu Mingxi in a Desperate Situation
This practice, just like that of the Wang brothers at Huayi, is essentially a way to send us money in disguise.
As for whether other forces in Hong Kong Island will follow this rule in making their films, are the people from Yee On and the Old Union just sitting idly by?
When this decision was made, the bigwig of the water room also expressed his support.
Three of the major triad societies on Hong Kong Island have come forward to support us, which is enough.
These major gangs may not amount to much, but if they want to cause trouble and prevent your movie from being made, that's all too easy.
Whether we can manage or whether we have the time is not the issue.
If we don't have time, we can outsource it!
Hong Kong Island has no shortage of feng shui masters.
To put it another way, there are at least eighty or a hundred feng shui shops on Hong Kong Island, so finding someone to work there is a piece of cake.
From location selection to naming and the ritual of offering sacrifices to the gods before filming begins, it's normal for a low-budget film to charge 100,000 yuan for feng shui, while a big-budget production can cost hundreds of thousands.
Although Hong Kong cinema has declined, fifty films were still produced last year. If each film is worth 100,000, that's five million.
My brother and I are too busy to handle everything, so we outsource half of it, and we still make over three million yuan.
This is giving us money for free.
I think the fact that the Long family agreed was mostly at the behest of Li Guagua, who was behind them. This money was meant to keep them quiet.
"Zixuan, Master Lin doesn't have a female companion, could you keep an eye on him?"
Wang Jingxiang is a very sensible person. When Fatty Lin mentioned a 20% discount, he kept Wang Zixuan with him.
"Um!"
Wang Zixuan nodded sensibly, her face still flushed with shyness.
The last time she was taken to the clinic by Mr. Wu from Tiancheng, it wasn't like this.
In the six months since she arrived in Hong Kong, she hasn't learned anything else, but she has certainly improved her skills in dealing with men.
"Zixuan, when did you come to Hong Kong Island!"
Fatty Lin was no peaceful fellow; he casually put his hand on Wang Zixuan's shoulder and even gave it a couple of squeezes.
"July!" Wang Zixuan whispered.
"Wow, they arrived three months earlier than us!"
Fatty Lin got into a great conversation and started chatting with Wang Zixuan while he put his arm around her.
Long Nier and I exchanged a glance and shook our heads helplessly. Fatty Lin rarely refuses food that's offered to him, so he's probably going to have a hard time tonight.
As expected, Fatty Lin did not return that night.
The following afternoon, Fatty Lin returned with a pigeon-toed gait.
"Feeling better now?"
Looking at Fatty Lin's smug face, I was furious.
"That feels so good!"
Fatty Lin nodded and said, "It's been a while since I've seen Wang Zixuan; her kung fu has improved a lot!"
"Look at you, you pathetic sight!" I didn't dare to say anything too harsh, since Long Nier was right next to me. If I said anything too harsh, she would probably think I was jealous.
"hey-hey!"
Fatty Lin seemed relieved, as he unusually refrained from arguing with me.
"Let's go upstairs and talk!"
I gestured towards the upstairs area with my lip.
"Um!"
Fatty Lin nodded and went upstairs with me.
He was asked to go upstairs because he really had something to do.
"Liu Mingxi has come knocking on our door!"
After going upstairs, I said it directly.
"He came looking for us?"
Fatty Lin frowned and said, "Crazy, we shouldn't meddle in his business. We won't understand it anyway!"
"I know!"
I nodded.
"What does he mean?" Fatty Lin asked.
"He begged the White Dragon King, and the White Dragon King gave him to us!" I said.
"This is not a good situation!"
Fatty Lin thought for a moment and said, "Liu Mingxi has no way out now. Huang Dacheng is targeting him, the Long family is targeting him, both of them are targeting him, what's the point of him continuing to work?"
"That's what I think too, he's out of options!" I said.
"When will he arrive?" Fatty Lin asked.
"What do you mean 'go'? He's a rat in the street now, he doesn't even dare to leave the house. He just made a phone call, and I haven't called back yet!" I said.
"Anyway, since Uncle Nan has spoken, I'll cast a divination for him!" Fatty Lin said after thinking for a moment.
Ten minutes later, Fatty Lin said to me, "Crazy, just like we expected, he can't make it in the entertainment industry!"
"I really can't make it here anymore!"
I nodded. No one else could possibly produce a hexagram of Yin Yin Yin.
"By the way, he contacted me not just about his connections in the underworld, but also because someone has put a kill order on him!" I said.
"Zhang Piaopiao's father, right?" Fatty Lin said.
"Yes!" I laughed.
Zhang Piaopiao's father is called Hu Xuyong, and he's involved in organized crime.
Those who don't know the situation might think her father is very powerful, or even say he's some kind of high-ranking official.
fart!
There is indeed a powerful figure in the underworld named Bearded Brave, but he is not Zhang Piaopiao's father. This Bearded Brave is not the same as that Bearded Brave. Compared to him, Zhang Piaopiao's father is nothing.
"Oh, right, there's another rumor, do you know what it is?" I added.
"What?" I asked.
"Brother Rong said there's another person who's also using tricks to get Liu Mingxi!" I said.
"Who is it?" Fatty Lin asked.
"Yu Yongren!" I said.
"Him?" Fatty Lin was a little surprised.
"Yes, that's him!"
I nodded and said, "Yu Yongren and Liu Mingxi are rivals. He hired people in the underworld to send threatening letters to Liu Mingxi!"
"Brother Rong doesn't think much of Yu Yongren!" Long Nier said.
"Why don't you like him?" Fatty Lin asked curiously.
"Brother Rong said he's too stingy and has no class at all!" Long Nier said with a smile.
"Even Brother Rong says so, how stingy must Yu Yongren be!" Fatty Lin laughed as well.
After laughing, I took out my phone and called Liu Mingxi.
I didn't hide anything and told him the truth directly: the divination results were bad, and his best outcome would be to leave the entertainment industry.
After listening, Liu Mingxi remained silent for a long time before finally saying thank you.
After hanging up, I called the White Dragon King again and told him the result.
"A few years ago, before my magic was broken, I was invited by Lin Sheng to do a fortune telling for him, and the result was not good. I told him to be more restrained in his pursuit of women, but he didn't listen at all!" The White Dragon King said with some emotion.
"Uncle Nan, everyone has their own destiny!" I said.
"Thirteen, Fenglin Hall is opening, and I had someone send you five Great Five Emperors Coins. They should arrive tomorrow, so please keep them safe!" said the White Dragon King.
"Uncle Nan, this gift is too much!" Fatty Lin said hurriedly.
"These Five Emperors' Coins are useless to me; it's only right that you use them!" The White Dragon King smiled and said, "Alright, stop being so modest; I need to get to work!"
After saying that, the White Dragon King hung up the phone before we could say anything more.
What are the Five Emperors Coins?
Qin Banliang, Han Wuzhu, Tang Kaiyuan Tongbao, Song Songyuan Tongbao, Ming Yongle Tongbao.
These five types of copper coins together are called the Five Emperors Coins.
Even disregarding its magical value, the Five Emperors Coins are highly valuable simply for their collectible value.
Not to mention that these Five Emperors Coins must have been offered incense, which makes them even more valuable.
The White Dragon King's gift is no small gesture!
