Hong Kong movies: What era is this? Are you still playing the dwarf mule game?

Chapter 157

At this point, Shen Cheng suddenly thought of something.

"Mr. Lin, we are preparing to shoot a film about Shaolin Temple, which can be regarded as a promotion for the ancient heritage of Shaolin Temple. I wonder if you are interested in cooperation?

In terms of filming, Mr. Lin, your A Better Tomorrow won the Hong Kong box office champion. If Mr. Lin is willing to guide us in filming..."

This can be regarded as Shen Cheng's return of favor.

The integration of the two sides is first reflected in cultural exchange.

Lin Yi gave Shen Cheng an opportunity to promote mainland singers to the world, and Shen Cheng used this to make a movie to repay Lin Yi.

The relationship between the two sides is getting closer step by step.

Lin Yi suddenly had an idea and asked, "Then has the protagonist been confirmed?"

Shen Cheng nodded and said, "Confirmed, his name is Li Jie, a national martial arts champion, and his skills are amazing."

After a pause, he added, "If you have a better candidate, Mr. Lin, you can also come for an audition."

Hearing Brother Jie's name, Lin Yi was secretly happy. It seems that I have to find a way to sign this future superstar to my company.

"That's not necessary. I believe in your casting ability. Can you let me see the script? Perhaps I can make some immature suggestions?"

Lin Yi is not bragging. He didn't know how many times he had watched the movie Shaolin Temple before crossing.

Even if he closed his eyes, he could think of Shaolin and Shaolin's music in his mind.

After listening to Lin Yi's words, Shen Cheng took out a draft from his desk.

Originally, the mainland invited Hong Kong filmmakers to participate in the filming of this play. During this period, Lin Yi's name as a screenwriter worth tens of millions has become popular in Hong Kong.

Although there was a little bit of technical operation in this process.

Lin Yi took the manuscript, read it carefully, and then said something that made Shen Cheng's jaw drop.

"I, Lin Yi, have invested in this play."

Shen Cheng: ...

When this play was filmed, it cost more than 4 million Hong Kong dollars. At that time, such a large amount of foreign exchange was spent, and the importance of the higher-ups can be imagined.

The reason why Shen Cheng had the first draft of this play in his hand was mainly because the higher-ups asked him to see if he could attract a few investors in Hong Kong Island?

After all, such a large amount of expenditure put a lot of financial pressure on the financial side, and it was all foreign exchange.

Hearing Lin Yi say this, Shen Cheng was overjoyed in the play, but he still asked carefully: "I wonder how much money Mr. Lin is going to invest?"

His expectation in his heart was at least 500,000.

Lin Yi stretched out a finger.

Shen Cheng was overjoyed when he saw this.

"Mr. Lin, are you going to invest 1 million Hong Kong dollars?"

Lin Yi shook his head.

Shen Cheng was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, it was indeed the case. He might have thought too much.

A Better Tomorrow is so popular, and the production cost is only about one million.

In order to save money, Lin Yi did not use models of the guns used in the movie, but directly used real ones.

As for the extras who were beaten, Lin Yi didn't pay a penny, and asked them to participate in the performance.

As for the actors' pay, unfortunately, the actors at that time were paid wages and did not participate in the box office share.

For example, Zhou Ruifa only got three to five thousand yuan for a movie.

Hua Zai was even worse. As an intern, he only got one or two thousand a month.

As for Song Zihao, Song Zijie and Xiao Ma Ge, sorry, they were just friendly performances, and Lin Yi didn't even pay a penny.

According to Lin Yi, the boss gave you the opportunity to make a movie, and you still have the nerve to ask the boss for money?

"One hundred thousand?" Shen Cheng felt that this amount was a little too little, and it was not worthy of Lin Yi's status as a big boss.

"Boss Shen, what are you talking about? Be generous. Am I, Lin Yi, that kind of stingy person? I said 10 million."

"Gudong!" Hearing 10 million, Shen Cheng swallowed hard.

"Mr. Lin, is this 10 million the real 10 million?" Shen Cheng asked weakly, thinking of Lin Yi's recent money laundering history.

Lin Yi rolled his eyes at him and said leisurely: "Boss Shen's words are a bit awkward. What's the real or not? What can be unreal about money?"

Shen Cheng understood that Lin Yi gave him dirty money that was not allowed to be seen in the light.

But what does it matter?

Anyway, this money can be converted into US dollars or British pounds. It's just a channel.

Shen Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead. Talking to this gentleman, he was really a little bit cautious.Some can't stand it.

"Mr. Lin, I need to ask the higher-ups about this matter."

"It's up to you." Lin Yi waved his hand indifferently.

Then, Lin Yi said casually: "I heard from a friend in Hong Kong that there is a steel pipe factory called Laiyang in the mainland that produces very good pipes. I wonder if Mr. Shen is involved in this aspect?"

Shen Cheng was a little stunned. Lin Yi's thinking jumps are really big.

He ran from the movie to the steel pipe.

How could Shen Cheng have time to care about a steel pipe factory in a small place?

"Mr. Lin, if you need pipes, in fact, the product quality of these large steel mills such as Wuhan Iron and Steel, Baosteel, Baotou Steel... is more guaranteed."

Lin Yi waved his hand and said: "Don't bother so much, just this Laiyang Steel Pipe Factory. When we have time, we can go and have a look together. Recently, I have contracted some projects in Maine, and I may use some pipes."

When Maine was mentioned, Shen Cheng's heart, which had just been put down, was tightened again.

Is this guy done yet?

He just carried out a rocket land washing in Maine, and this time he wants to buy a large number of pipes?

As for where Lin Yi got those rocket launchers?

Intelligence personnel have already collected intelligence that Lin Yi had a brief contact with Cage, an international arms broker...

I think these rocket launchers are likely to have come from Cage's hands?

"Mr. Lin, can I ask what you want these pipes for? Of course, this is just my personal curiosity. If it is related to company secrets, Mr. Lin, you don't have to say it."

"There is no confidentiality." Lin Yi waved his hand and continued: "I think you have also received the news. Recently, I contracted a piece of mountain land in Maine.

I plan to plant some economic trees there, but the water source has become a problem. So, I plan to lay an underground water network there to irrigate these trees..."

Shen Cheng:...

Fuck, you are fooling a fool!

Rocket land washing for planting trees?

There is so much black soil in the Northeast Plain, why don’t you plant some crops?
