Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 99 Talent Plus One
The chubby boy was so upset:

"Handsome guy, you're pretending to be weak to take advantage of others!"

Wang Dao asked in bewilderment:
"I wasn't faking it."

Wang Jingjing was filled with grief and indignation:
"If you had just said you were Lok Wai-chun's boyfriend, would I have misunderstood like this?"

The way of the king is even stranger:

"Didn't I say from the beginning that I was coming to find Ah Zhen?"

The chubby boy lost his temper.

He thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed true. Wang Dao had misunderstood him by saying he wanted to find Le Huizhen as soon as he opened his mouth.

Wang Jingjing chuckled awkwardly:

"Boss, wait a moment, I'll call her for you."

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"Where did you find out I'm a big shot in the underworld?"

Wang Jingjing hesitated and refused to speak.

Wang Dao stared at him with a half-smile and said:

"You'd better think this through..."

Wang Jingjing got scared and quickly said:

"I heard it from my dad."

Wang Dao asked in bewilderment:
"Uncle Dalin?"

"I don't remember inviting him when the business opened."

Wang Jingjing quickly pulled Wang Dao aside before explaining everything in detail:

"Didn't Sixth Uncle attend the opening of Qiankun Film and Television?"

"Sixth Uncle usually doesn't participate in such mundane matters. My father is his confidant, so he asked."

"Sixth Uncle said that Liang Kun... Mr. Li is not simple."

"The fact that the Five Tigers of Tung Sing were able to take down three of them at once and send them all to the hospital is beyond explanation; it can't be explained by just ordinary ability."

"Most importantly, Dongxing suffered such a huge loss, yet they didn't react at all."

"Li Sheng is a rising big shot in the martial arts world."

The Way of the King does not understand the Way:
"What does this have to do with me?"

Wang Jingjing looked at him nervously:
"Sixth Uncle said you are even more extraordinary."

Wang Dao pointed to himself:

"I?"

"Isn't Sixth Uncle too kind?"

Wang Jingjing shook her head:

"A man as capable as Li Sheng must have a knack for selecting his subordinates."

"You're not even twenty years old yet, and you've already become Li Sheng's top lieutenant. How capable must you be?"

"Unfortunately, no information about your deeds has been found in the martial arts world."

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Perhaps Brother Kun is out of his mind, that's why he's willing to let me be the leader."

Wang Jingjing complained:

"Brother Dao, don't treat people like idiots, okay?"

"There are shrewd people everywhere in this society."

"The fact that Mr. Li made you his leader means that your talent far surpasses that of his subordinates."

"Which of the 'Silly Qiang' and 'Ah Niu' from Mong Kok didn't follow Mr. Li for a long time?"

"But you came from behind and surpassed them, while those two didn't have the slightest objection."

"This shows that you are very skilled."

Wang Dao thought to himself, "Of course those two have no objections; they've been beaten into submission."

Never underestimate anyone.

He asked how to send an invitation to Uncle Liu, and this person actually came!

It was thanks to Uncle Liu's arrival that the people above and below stopped talking.

Given Sixth Uncle's status, neither Jiang Tiansheng, Sha Qiang, nor even the police would dare to cause trouble at the opening ceremony of Qiankun Film and Television.

Who do you think you are to sit at the same table as Uncle Liu?

That's how things are, but that's not how it should be described.

"Brother Kun, you're too kind!"

Wang Jingjing complained:

"Now I've finally met a true big shot in the underworld, someone who's completely detached from worldly affairs."

"No wonder the sister-in-law is even more shrewish at the station."

Wang Dao was taken aback and said:
"pungent?"

Wang Jingjing nodded:

"Sister-in-law is so beautiful, she has a lot of suitors, but she scolded them all away."

"It's just gotten even fiercer these past two days."

"So this confidence came from you."

Wang Dao remained silent.

He knew Lok Wai-chun's personality; she always presented herself as a fiery person to the outside world.

For a pretty girl with no connections, the best way to avoid being bullied is to be a little spicy.

Wang Jingjing rubbed her hands together and said:
"Brother Dao, you'll have to look after me from now on."

Wang Dao nodded slightly.

"No problem!"

Wang Jingjing said earnestly:

"I am not kidding."

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"I didn't say it was fake."

"You yourself said I'm a big shot in the underworld, so I don't make promises lightly."

Wang Jingjing was overjoyed:
"Thank you, Brother Dao."

The Way of the King:

Have you planned your career?

The chubby boy scratched his head:

"I used to want to learn skills slowly under my dad's tutelage and then try to become a director. After all, I couldn't ruin my dad's reputation."

The Way of the King:

"now what?"

The chubby boy was a bit arrogant:
"After Brother Dao explained it to me, I finally understood that all my dad's hard work was for me."

"If I don't make good use of his reputation, who will?"

"He only has one son, after all!"

Wang Dao gives a thumbs up:
"Well done."

The chubby boy chuckled to himself.

Wang Dao said softly:
"Sixth Uncle has a high position, but isn't he a bit harsh on his subordinates?"

"Look, isn't Ah Zhen famous enough now?"

"Diesel can't even afford to maintain a sports car."

The chubby boy complained:

"Most people can't afford to maintain that car of yours."

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"I can afford to raise them."

The chubby boy choked half to death and shouted:

I'm talking about ordinary people.

"If you can afford a sports car, you're no ordinary person."

Wang Dao shook his head:
"I didn't buy that car."

"It was a gift from Brother Kun, but I didn't like it, so I gave it to Ah Zhen."

The chubby boy's eyes were red with envy:

"When the hell will I be able to afford a luxury car?"

Wang Dao speaks the truth:

"If you continue working at TVB Jade, you'll be able to afford it in twenty or thirty years."

The chubby boy's mouth gaped open:

"When that time really comes, will it be me who enjoys it or my child?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"It's up to you."

The chubby boy was quick-witted; he suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Wang Dao suspiciously.

"Brother Dao, are you planning to poach my girlfriend?"

Wang Dao grinned and said:

"Yes!"

The chubby boy smiled wryly:

"I'm just a small-time screenwriter, is it really worth making such a fuss about?"

The Way of Kings is straightforward:
“I didn’t make a big fuss. I came here today to see Ah Zhen. Meeting you was an accident, and what’s even more unexpected is… that you took the initiative to come to me.”

The chubby boy's eyes widened in amazement.

Wang Dao slowly said:

"As you know, Brother Kun founded Qiankun Film and Television Company."

"We have a large film series to shoot."

"We have the script now, but we don't have the production crew."

The chubby boy was a little unwilling:

"You're conscripting men."

"Alright, I have to give Brother Dao face. I'll take the camera for you."

Wang Dao looked at him strangely:
"Why would I need you to be a photographer?"

The chubby boy was stunned:

"Then what do you want me to do?"

Wang Dao put his arm around her shoulder and said:
"Of course we want you to direct!"

The chubby boy stood there dumbfounded, his voice becoming stammering:
"Guide...guide...guide tube?"

You're asking me to be a director?

Wang Dao pointed to the notebook he was holding:
"Haven't you always wanted the director's chair?"

"I've read that book. Although it's a bit rough around the edges, to be honest, it's quite good."

"Although there are some minor shortcomings, the merits outweigh the flaws."

"That's good enough."

Even a chubby kid knows where to put his hands:
"But I have never directed a film."

The kingly way disagrees:

"Your father is Uncle Lin, a famous director in Hong Kong."

"A family with a long tradition of learning."

"Besides, even if you mess things up, it's okay, your dad will cover for you!"

The chubby boy was at a loss:
"So you've been eyeing my dad all along."

Wang Dao shook his head and said very seriously:

"I value you, not Uncle Lin."

"He's a master at directing TV dramas, but he's a little less skilled at directing movies."

“You are different; you have considerable potential.”

Wang Jingjing hesitated:
"Can I think about it?"

Wang Dao casually remarked:
"Of course!"

"However, Qiankun Films already has a series of five scripts that they plan to finish filming this year." "We are a legitimate company, and we must have products."

"Time waits for no one, and you never know when a new work might appear."

"Regarding your salary."

"Either you take a fixed total salary of 400,000 per year."

"Either a salary of 200,000 yuan a year, plus 50,000 yuan for the production of a film..."

He was about to continue speaking when Wang Jingjing's eyes widened in disbelief.

Annual salary of 400,000?
What the hell do you need a bicycle for?
He quickly interrupted Wang Dao:

"Brother Dao, don't say anything, I'll do it!"

Wang Dao asked in bewilderment:
"We haven't finished introducing our benefits yet!"

The chubby boy quickly said:

"I agreed."

Wang Dao said solemnly:
"Okay, come with me to the company later to sign an agreement. We'll go over your rights and obligations one by one."

The chubby boy was horrified:
"Do we need to sign an agreement?"

Wang Dao looked at him strangely:
"Isn't that normal?"

"We are a legitimate company, and everything is handled according to procedures."

"You don't want to join a shady company, do you?"

The chubby boy could only manage a wry smile.
"Given Brother Kun's background, how could I refuse an invitation from you?"

The Kingly Way, with its profound meaning, said:
"If we weren't running a legitimate company, do you think Uncle Liu would be so easy to talk to me about?"

The chubby boy was stunned for a moment.

Hmm, that seems to be the case!

Uncle Six's status in the underworld ensures that no one in the underworld will bother him, and at the same time, it allows him to ignore any gang.

However, when Sixth Uncle saw Wang Dao, he took the initiative to greet him. What does this mean?
Wang Dao gently patted the chubby boy's shoulder:

"The next few years will be the golden age of Hong Kong cinema."

"Whether it's actors or directors, their salaries will increase significantly."

"You're a new director, and you'll only earn 400,000 a year."

"If your future films reach five million in box office revenue, then your directing fee for a single film could exceed four hundred thousand!"

The chubby boy was so excited by Wang Dao's rosy promises that his face turned red, but a sliver of reason remained:

"Brother Dao, I need to discuss this with my dad."

Wang Dao casually pulled out a stack of large yellow oxen—yes, it was the 300,000 yuan he had taken from Liang Kun.

"Here, these are the expenses for this year!"

"As you know, several months of this year have already passed, so we certainly won't calculate it for you based on the whole year."

"How about three hundred thousand?"

The chubby boy's breathing suddenly became rapid. At present, Wang Jingjing was just a chubby boy who used Wang Dalin's name to scam food and drink, and had no filming work at all.

So naturally, they had never seen so much money before.

Wang Jingjing's eyes were red, and her hand holding the money trembled uncontrollably.

"Is this for me?"

Wang Dao asked in bewilderment:
"Who else could it be for if not you?"

"However, we need to go to the company later to sign an agreement."

The chubby boy gritted his teeth and said:

"I'll go and process my resignation right away."

The Way of the King and the Way of Kindness:
"Don't rush!"

"You can discuss it with Uncle Lin."

The chubby boy looked longingly at the banknotes in his hand:
"What about this money?"

The kingly way is magnanimous:
"I think Uncle Lin will most likely not object, but who knows?"

"This is our way of showing our sincerity. If you don't want to participate, that's fine too. Just return it to me later."

The chubby boy was extremely excited; he felt something called "trust."

"Brother Dao, wait for me, I'm going to find my dad right now."

Without waiting for Wang Dao's response, he took off running.

Wang Dao was utterly speechless.

"You should at least take me to see Ah Zhen."

However, Wang Jingjing had already disappeared from sight.

Wang Dao shrugged. Actually, he didn't need the little fat boy to lead him. After all, he had the system's mini-map and knew exactly where Le Huizhen was.

But this is Jade Terrace after all, and having someone you know here can save you a lot of trouble.

Wang Dao learned something from Liang Kun these past few days: "rules".

Rules naturally exist for a reason.

A benevolent ruler values ​​rules; with rules, all actions are governed by reasonable norms.

Anyone who breaks the rules will naturally face repercussions from others.

Wang Dao leisurely followed the directions on the mini-map and entered a photography studio.

Le Huizhen was recording a program, and she was talking about "The Haunted Mingxin Hospital". Wang Dao didn't disturb her. He quietly found a seat and watched Le Huizhen talk eloquently.

Surprisingly, Lok Wai-Chun presents a completely different image in front of the camera, appearing dignified and solemn, even exuding a sense of holiness.

"This uniform looks really good."

"How about we let her try on this uniform in bed tonight?"

Unknowingly, Wang Dao's thinking went astray.

It's not entirely his fault. This body is experiencing forbidden fruit for the first time, and it's at the stage where one doesn't yet know the marrow of the flesh. No matter how much one does it, one never gets tired of it.

Young men and women of this age, given the opportunity, would love to do it three times a day.

They could never have imagined that what seems sweet now would become something they would want to avoid at all costs later.

Even the lips of a lover, as sweet as honey, will feel nauseous if kissed again at some point in the future.

Of course, not at that age.

Wang Dao rested his chin on his hand and quietly gazed at Le Huizhen, momentarily lost in thought.

Lok Wai-chun did her job very well, and the filming went very smoothly. Before she knew it, the filming was completed successfully.

The crew members happily stepped forward to congratulate them:
"Sister Zhen, you've worked so hard!"

Lok Wai-chun's work is highly effective, resulting in high program ratings and improved treatment for everyone on the production team. As the center of the program, Lok Wai-chun naturally receives considerable respect.

Wang Dao smiled and stepped forward, saying:

"Sister Zhen, you've worked so hard!"

Le Huizhen was startled, then suddenly turned around and saw Wang Dao. Ignoring the people around her, she pounced and landed steadily on Wang Dao.

"Ado, what brings you here?"

The crowd erupted in uproar.

Wang Dao gently stroked Le Huizhen's delicate nose:
"Others are watching."

Le Huizhen disagreed:
"The point is to let them see it, so that no one will come closer."

Despite his words, he obediently dismounted from Wang Dao's lap and introduced himself to everyone, his voice unusually proud.

"This is my boyfriend, Wang Dao, who currently works at Qiankun Film and Television."

The crew members quickly greeted them.

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"I just ordered dim sum, everyone has worked hard."

The crowd erupted in cheers.

Le Huizhen, arm in arm with Wang Dao, asked with a smile:
"Why are you here?"

Wang Dao speaks the truth:

"I missed you, so I came to visit."

Le Huizhen said in surprise:
"Don't you have to go to work?"

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"If I were at the company, I'd be finding fault everywhere. How could Brother Kun dare let me come here?"

Le Huizhen is very surprised:
"Is that really true?"

Wang Dao speaks the truth:

"Actually, I was thinking of taking you to meet your aunt, but Brother Kun got scared and bribed me to let me come out and have fun."

Le Huizhen asked, puzzled:

"Why are you afraid, Brother Kun?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Kun is a playboy, so he wouldn't be thinking about finding a woman to settle down with."

"He is also known for his filial piety."

"If I take you to meet your aunt, you know what that means, right?"

Le Huizhen nodded sweetly:

"I know, it's about meeting the parents."

Wang Dao chuckled and said:

"Look, we're so sweet together, Auntie will definitely be happy, and then Brother Kun will be in trouble."

Le Huizhen suddenly realized:
"Your auntie will definitely urge you to get married since you're so young and already have a girlfriend... You're really naughty!"

Wang Dao curled his lip:
"He's the boss, after all."

"Not setting a good example is wrong in itself, isn't it?"

"Listen to me, we'll put pressure on him from time to time."

"He'll definitely offer us benefits to shut us up."

Le Huizhen smiled wryly:

"Brother Kun has been so good to you, how could you scheme against the boss like this?"

The Great Wonder of the King's Way:

"you are not willing?"

Le Huizhen smiled and said:
"Of course I do!"

When should we appear before him?

Wang Dao laughed heartily:

"My dear wife, how about this afternoon?"

Do you still have a job?

Le Huizhen shook her head:

"That concludes today's filming; all that's left is editing."

“A-Chi is handling that; he’s a professional.”

Kingly Way claps hands
"Alright, when the morning tea arrives, I'll take you to get some money."

"As a host, you can't do without a few decent outfits."

Le Huizhen smiled wryly:

"My salary is only so much, where would I get spare money to buy clothes!"

Wang Dao said calmly:
"With me here, why worry about not making money?"

Lok Wai-chun nodded vigorously:

"Okay, from now on I'll have you taking care of me."

Wang Dao didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
"A woman's life revolves around her husband's needs for food and clothing. Get ready, and we'll leave once the morning tea arrives."

The morning tea arrived quickly; Le Huizhen had just finished giving instructions when it was served.

Char siu, shrimp dumplings, roast goose, Chinese sausage, beef... it's quite a feast.

The crew cheered continuously. Yue Huizhen felt that Wang Dao knew how to treat people well. Even this simple morning tea made her feel proud.

Wang Dao chuckled lightly:
"Okay, let's go."

Le Huizhen was radiant:
"Where to go?"

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"Didn't I tell you? I'll show you how to pick up money!"

"If you don't have several hundred thousand yuan to be my wife, I'd be embarrassed to show my face in public."
