Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 73 "73" Minor Conflict
Thinking of this, Lin Yao walked directly to Gao Gang's side and patted him on the shoulder.

At the same time, the charismatic and arrogant acting skills given by the system were applied to Gao Gang.

Surprisingly, it actually worked.

Lin Yao said to Gao Gang, "Shall we try this line?"

Gao Gang looked at the script and read it aloud: "Being stubborn is useless. Anyone who stands in my way of wealth and glory will be killed!"

After muttering a few words, Gao Gang seemed to get into the zone.

Both his demeanor and tone were extremely arrogant and conceited, and he exuded an air of evil.

Although it's completely different from the version of Chin Siu-ho that Lin Yao remembers, it has to be said that it has a unique charm as a villain.

Director Wang's eyes lit up when he saw it: "Great! Great! Well done! That's exactly the feeling I wanted for Dong Tianbao! But your eyes are still too straight, you need to adjust them."

Lin Yao suddenly remembered a suggestion from the director about an actor who didn't know how to act, so he said to Gao Gang, "Here's what you do, look at people sideways, and then recite this line again!"

Gao Gang nodded and did as instructed, and sure enough, the results this time were much better than before.

Director Wang looked at Lin Yao with surprise and said, "Boss, you can also act! This effect is great!"

Aaron smiled and said, "I was just repeating what others had said!"

Now that the most important villain has been dealt with, things become much simpler.

After the two switched roles, their progress was incredibly fast.

Although neither of them has much acting experience, the film suits their personalities quite well, so acting in it was not difficult at all.

Xiao Fu seems to have become addicted to acting. He no longer has that reluctant feeling from before, and has instead started to study acting skills.

This left Lin Yao both amused and exasperated; it seemed he would have to find a new bodyguard.

However, the best thing about having Xiao Fu and Gao Gang act is that it eliminates the need for action choreography.

Both of them are martial arts experts. Gao Gang, needless to say, came from the Beijing Martial Arts Team. It can be said that because of his studies, he knows a little bit of the moves of various schools, and he performs them very well.

Xiao Fu goes without saying. He came from the military and is incredibly skilled. After coming to Hong Kong, he followed Lin Yao around. Besides accompanying Lin Yao on his travels and gossiping, he spent his time in martial arts schools, which allowed him to learn about various combat techniques and martial arts from around the world.

Practicing Tai Chi is no problem at all; one can even execute moves that combine power and technique.

Regardless of its power, it's at least quite beautiful.

This unexpected surprise made Director Wang very happy.

Since both male leads are so good at fighting, there's nothing more to say, let's just start filming.

Lin Yao also participated in the opening ceremony and the blessing ceremony.

Hong Kong people are quite superstitious, so even if Lin Yao doesn't believe in these things, he will still follow local customs.

After the filming officially started, Lin Yao discovered that Yue Huizhen had somehow brought that idiot Li over.

Lin Yao asked curiously, "How did you all get here?"

Lok Hye-ching said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do. Since we couldn't catch that guy Lung Wai, we've come here to beg for his money! Looks like you guys are already getting ready to start filming?"

Lin Yao nodded: "Everything is almost ready. Apart from filming and the actors acting, everything else is up to you!"

Lok Wai-ching rolled her eyes: "Do you think I'm new to this world?"

"Who taught you to talk like that!" Lin Yao said irritably, pinching Le Huizhen's cheek.

Seeing Lin Yao and Le Huizhen flirting, Idiot Li had long since become immune to it.

Moreover, after being taught a lesson by Lin Yao twice, he usually avoided Lin Yao.

He wouldn't have come here if there hadn't been absolutely no news.

Lok Wai-ching abused her position as the "eldest sister-in-law" and acted like a tyrant on set.

When the crew finished filming a scene and took a break, this girl went around asking people to interview her.

Of course, the most important person is the director, after all, Director Wong is quite well-known in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

So Lok Wai-ching went directly to Director Wong.

After learning about Lok Wai-ching's identity, Director Wong was both amused and exasperated, but still agreed to the interview.

However, when faced with the questions raised by Yue Huizhen, Director Wang felt speechless.

"Director Wang, what made you decide to direct this movie, 'Tai Chi Master'?" Yue Huizhen asked with a curious look.

Director Wang looked at Yue Huizhen with a strange expression and said, "Are you sure you want me to say it?"

"Huh?" Yue Huizhen was a little confused.

Director Wang said irritably, "I was brought here by your man, tied up with knives and guns!"

"Ha, cough cough cough!" Yue Huizhen almost choked on her own saliva and quickly said to the photographer Xiao Pang next to her, "Cut this part out!"

Then, Yue Huizhen looked at Lin Yao with a strange expression, as if to say, "Are you sure?" Lin Yao did not refute, but spread his hands and said, "There's been some misunderstanding, but Director Wang, don't be so blunt. We're going to be on TV, so let's use official language!"

Director Wang rolled his eyes and repeated the official jargon.

After a few days of getting to know each other, Director Wang found that Lin Yao was actually quite easy to talk to.

Aside from when he first invited him, Lin Yao displayed some characteristics of a gangster.

At other times, he was more like a professional media worker. Even among the crew members, apart from a few gangsters among the extras, everyone else was a professional.

So Director Wang no longer felt the same fear as before, and after a few days of work, he was even able to joke around with Lin Yao.

After interviewing Director Wang, Yue Huizhen interviewed Gao Gang and Xiao Fu again.

Only then did he leave with his team, completely satisfied.

Lin Yao himself also had a lot of things to do. Deng Weng, who he had played cards with yesterday, called and agreed to let Lin Yao buy the plot of land in Sheung Shui Wai from him.

Deng Weng wasn't an idiot. He had someone calculate that even if this piece of land could be transformed from something rotten into something magical, the profit wouldn't be very high.

After weighing the pros and cons, Deng Weng decided to sell the land in Shangshui to Lin Yao, which would also solve one of his problems.

They arranged to meet at a law firm, and the two parties quickly and directly completed the transaction.

One million was enough for Deng Weng to break even, and he was already very satisfied.

It was only after both parties signed the contract and walked out chatting and laughing that they did so.

A short, stout real estate manager ran over: "Uncle Deng, Uncle Deng, please wait!"

Seeing the real estate manager's disgusted look, Deng said, "It's you again? I've already sold that piece of land you mentioned. Don't bother me anymore!"

With that, Deng Weng got into the car, leaving the real estate manager completely bewildered.

Lin Yao smiled and said to the real estate manager, "I'm sorry, I've already bought this plot of land for one million. It belongs to me now. You can talk to me!"

"One million?" The real estate manager's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

They had been planning for so long, driving the price of Deng Weng's land to rock bottom, and it seemed like they were about to reap the rewards, but unexpectedly, someone else snatched it away.

Lin Yao smiled and said, "Of course I can't sell this piece of land for one million! If you can raise the price a little, maybe I can consider it! If you can't make the decision, you can go back and ask your boss!"

After leaving his business card with the real estate manager, Lin Yao got into the car with Jimmy.

Jimmy looked at the contract in his hand and said to Lin Yao, "Since Mingda Group can suppress Deng Weng, it can suppress you just as easily. You can't use gang tactics to deal with Mingda Group, can you?"

"Of course not, I'm a legitimate businessman!" Lin Yao said with a smile. "But I have plenty of ways to deal with Mingda! Just you wait and see!"

……

In the period that followed, the real estate manager who had previously helped Mingda Group purchase the land in Sheung Shui approached Lin Yao multiple times.

They wanted to buy the land for 1.3 million, but there was just a lot of entanglement involved.

They've even resorted to coercion and bribery.

However, using coercion and bribery in front of a gang leader like Lin Yao would naturally not end well.

The real estate manager was beaten black and blue and sent back, making Ye Xiaoli, the head of Mingda Group, and Ye Rongjin, who was in charge of the land, look very bad.

Ye Xiaoli said to Ye Rongjin with dissatisfaction, "How could you let this guy buy this piece of land?"

Ye Rongjin took the initiative to admit his mistake: "I neglected Daddy in this matter, I will handle it!"

"That Lin Yao made a little money selling a few houses and got arrogant and overconfident! He somehow found out we wanted that land and is clearly targeting us!"

"But I also know what he wants to do; he just wants to make money off the opportunity!"

Ye Xiaoli frowned and said, "This Lin Yao seems to have some gang connections. Be careful in your actions, and make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen again!"

Seeing the real estate manager covered in bruises, Ye Xiaoli gave him a large sum of money to prevent him from spreading rumors.

Ye Rongjin was clearly unconvinced. After all, in their eyes, Lin Yao was just a gangster, a businessman's black glove, a used and discarded chamber pot. What right did he have to oppose their Mingda Group?
You know, which big company doing business in Hong Kong hasn't dealt with a few triads?

Ye Rongjin even wanted to find another gang to teach Lin Yao a lesson.

Mingda University has a pretty good relationship with some gang leaders.

However, since Ye Xiaoli had said so, Ye Rongjin had no choice but to give up.

You should know that his father is still alive, and Ye Rongjin is not the only one who can inherit the family business.

Although the brothers had a good relationship, Ye Rongjin was still very careful about matters of inheritance.

So she nodded and said obediently to Ye Xiaoli, "I will handle this properly, Daddy!"

Ye Xiaoli nodded: "We are legitimate businessmen. We shouldn't do anything too outrageous, as that wouldn't be good for Mingda's reputation!"

"I'm going to the United States for a meeting soon. I need to get this sorted out before I get back. If that's not possible, I'll just have to cut my losses for now!"
