Feng Shui Secrets of the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 122 Participating in the Talent Show, Feng Shui Consultant

"Fatty, you're a good person, kind and principled, but someone like you wouldn't survive a month in our village before being devoured by the Gu worms!"

Long Nier looked at Fatty Lin seriously for a moment and said.

"Yes, yes, yes, the Gu worms devour the heart!" I couldn't stop laughing.

"Damn it, you've made it so vivid in my mind!" Fatty Lin scratched his chest, sighed, and fell silent.

"Brother, I'll say it again, I can forgive and forget what happened before, but my only request is that you can't be like Fatty!" Long Nier gripped my hand tightly and said earnestly.

"Nier, that's enough! You're making me a negative example every day!" Fatty Lin was completely speechless.

"You always have been!" Long Nier muttered, gripping my hand even tighter.

Back at the clinic, before I could even settle in, Jack Feng called, saying he wanted to come over and visit the clinic later.

I was a little surprised, but I didn't refuse.

Half an hour later, Jack arrived.

"Mr. Feng, what brings you to visit my little clinic?"

I was a little confused about Jack Feng's intentions for a moment.

"Brother Feng, I haven't thanked Xiao Yuan for his help yet!" Jack Feng said with a smile.

"Boss Feng, most people in our line of work have their own rules. Our rules are simple: don't harm anyone. That's the most basic principle. As for the rest, you pay us and we'll do the work!"

Fatty Lin answered before I could.

"Mr. Feng, Master Lin's intention is also my intention. What you did was your own choice, and you will bear the consequences yourself. We won't interfere, and you don't need to worry about what we two brothers will do to you!"

Seeing that Fatty Lin had brought it up, I saw no need to play along and told the truth.

"Okay, I like your straightforward personality!"

Jack paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Brother Feng, Daoist Lin, I've come here for two reasons: first, to express my gratitude regarding Xiao Yuan's matter; and second, to ask you for a favor!"

Jack Feng added.

"Mr. Feng, what's the matter?" I said.

"As you all know, I've invested in Huayi!"

Jack Feng pondered for a moment, then said, "To tell you the truth, I intend to transform Huayi into China's version of Warner Music!"

"Boss Feng, we two brothers can't help with this!" Fatty Lin said.

"We can definitely help!"

Jack Feng chuckled and said, "You guys know that undercover movie that was a huge hit in Hong Kong a couple of years ago, right?"

"Is it the one starring Mary, Leung Wing-yan, and Chan Kwok-chai?" I asked.

"Yes, that's the one!" Jack Feng nodded.

"That movie was a huge hit!" I said.

I don't quite understand. One moment Jack Feng said he wanted to turn Huayi Brothers into the Chinese version of Warner Bros., and the next moment he's talking about a movie from Hong Kong.

"Things kept going wrong during the filming of that movie. It was only after the White Dragon King stepped in and changed the movie's name that things started to go smoothly for them!" Jack Feng said meaningfully.

"Boss Feng, do you want the two of us to be the White Dragon Kings of Huayi?" I immediately realized.

"That's right!"

Jack nodded.

"Boss Feng, we two brothers are willing to do this, but Boss Wang might not be!" I said.

"If they're not willing, they can forget about getting my investment!" Jack Feng said coldly.

That's quite a powerful statement.

The one who pays is the boss; that's exactly the situation.

"In Hong Kong Island, almost every big-budget film consults a feng shui master to choose an auspicious day for filming before production begins!"

"Not only that, they also invite feng shui masters to survey the feng shui of the filming locations to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"Praying to gods when turning on the computer is an even more common practice!"

At this point, Jack paused, glanced at the two of us, and said, "I want to entrust Huayi's major productions for the next few years to you two. You'll be in charge of choosing the start dates and scouting the feng shui of the filming locations!"

"Boss Feng, this is a big deal!" Fatty Lin said in a deep voice.

"I wouldn't come to you if it wasn't a big deal!" Jack Feng said.

Fatty Lin and I exchanged a glance. Jack Feng had come to deliver a bribe.

It was obvious that he didn't believe us and wanted to use our interests to bind us together.

I have no objection to this.

I have no reason to turn down a good offer like money delivered to my door.

If we don't make this money, someone else will.

"Mr. Feng, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"

Lin the Fat and I both reached out our hands at the same time.

"It's a pleasure to work with you!" Jack shook hands with me and Fatty Lin in turn.

"By the way, Mr. Wang and I started discussing cooperation last year. Talent shows have been quite popular these past two years, and we wanted to create one too. At the beginning of the year, we co-organized a talent show, which is about to end. I'll give you both an advisory title. You two can help me take a look at the girls who were selected and see if any of them have any special birth charts!"

Jack Feng added.

"no problem!"

Before I could speak, Fatty Lin readily agreed.

This is a good thing!

"Let's set the consulting fee at 500,000. You guys need to put in extra effort and keep a close eye on things!" Jack Feng said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Feng, I'll keep an eye on this!" Fatty Lin's chubby face glistened with oil.

As soon as I saw him like that, I knew what he was up to!

After settling the matter and chatting for a bit, Jack bought some more nourishing medicine from me before taking his leave.

Less than twenty minutes after he left, Mr. Wang, the general manager of Huayi, called me and invited me to dinner that evening to talk about the talent show.

We agreed on a time to meet, and I hung up the phone.

"You madman, your chance has come!"

After I hung up the phone, Fatty Lin rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"Hey Fatty, take it easy!"

Long Nier poured a bucket of cold water on her.

"Ni'er, this isn't about whether I'm taking it easy or not, it's about living up to the title of consultant!" Fatty Lin said righteously.

"Fatty, I don't care whether you've wronged me or not, but you can't lead my brother astray!" Long Nier warned.

"Are you coming to dinner tonight?" Fatty Lin asked.

"Of course I'll go!"

"Long Nier said."

"What are you afraid of? With you here, even if your brother had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to do anything reckless!" Fatty Lin glanced at me and said irritably.

"Also, I know about this talent show organized by Huayi. Let me tell you, don't be fooled by its big name, there's a lot more to it than meets the eye!" Fatty Lin chuckled.

"Tell me, what's the story?" I asked, intrigued.

"hehe!"

Fatty Lin chuckled slyly and said, "I've been hanging around with Boss Yang and his crew lately, so I know all too well about these shady dealings. The worst thing about talent shows is this kind of selection process that's neither about choosing singers or hosts nor about choosing a particular role—it's all about confusing the concepts!"

"The reason is simple: there's no standard!"

"To select a singer, you have to sing well; to select a host, you have to have excellent professional knowledge; to select an actor, you have to fit the character's traits!"

"These kinds of talent shows, without clear standards, are the easiest to manipulate behind the scenes!"
