Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

As the sister-in-law of Hongxing, Fang Ting is like the emperor on the set. Lu Yongqiang doesn't want to give any role to this kind of woman who cannot be offended.

But now that she's here, and Fang Ting doesn't care about the pay, Lu Yongqiang has no reason to refuse, so he can only ask Liu Wei to arrange a role for her.

After Chen Yao and Fang Ting left, Lu Yongqiang called Liu Wei and told him what had happened, asking him to think about what role he should assign to Fang Ting.

Liu Wei pondered for a moment and said, "Lu Sheng, there are only three named female characters in the entire drama. The third female character has too few scenes, while the second female character has more, but the role's positioning is not pleasing. If I assign it to Miss Fang, I'm afraid she won't agree. As for the first female character, I originally wanted to find the leader of the Jade Maidens, Zhou Hui, but now it seems I can only give it to Miss Fang Ting. However, Miss Fang Ting is very different from the character's image. The effect may not be good when filming, and I'm afraid it will affect the box office."

This guy has learned from his mistakes and actually knew to lay the groundwork in advance. He was really afraid that the box office would not be ideal and Lu Yongqiang would give him trouble.

After Liu Wei finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang recalled the content of the script, then thought for a while and said, "I remember that the female lead and the male lead had quite a few intimate scenes, and even a bed scene. Although a double could be used during filming, Fang Ting's identity is special. Even if a double was used, it would still be a hassle afterward. You dare to assign Fang Ting the female lead role? Aren't you afraid that Jiang Tiansheng will send someone to kill you afterwards?

You can let Fang Ting choose the second or third female lead. If she chooses the third female lead, you can give her more roles, but the premise is that it cannot affect the quality of the entire film. "

As soon as Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Liu Wei was already sweating profusely. He was so focused on satisfying Fang Ting that he forgot about Jiang Tiansheng.

Now that Lu Yongqiang had made this analysis, Liu Wei felt like he had been to the gates of hell. When he thought of Jiang Tiansheng seeing Fang Ting being intimate with another man in the plot, Liu Wei broke out in a cold sweat.

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Liu Wei hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Lu, the third female lead and the second male lead also have a kissing scene, and there's also a nude scene. Will this have an impact?"

Lu Yongqiang's brow furrowed even more when he heard this. He rubbed his temples irritably and said, "Then we can only give her the second female lead. As for the issue of her character being unlikable, you can talk to Fang Ting first and see what her attitude is. If she doesn't mind, then everyone will be happy."

After hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Liu Wei could only nod in agreement.

After Liu Wei left Lu Yongqiang, he immediately contacted Fang Ting and made an appointment to meet at a cafe.

After the meeting, Liu Wei carefully explained the roles of the second and third female characters to Fang Ting.

After hearing this, Fang Ting curled up the corners of her mouth with a playful smile, and then she said, "The role of the second female lead is not pleasing. After the movie is released, I'm afraid that many people will criticize me. Although the role of the third female lead doesn't have many scenes, her character and positioning are very outstanding. If possible, I would like to choose the third female lead. As for kissing scenes and nudity, our old Jiang won't mind."

Liu Wei didn't dare to believe Fang Ting's words. Men can understand men's psychology better. If he thought about his wife kissing someone else, he would probably have the urge to kill her.

Seeing Liu Wei's silence and an awkward expression, Chen Yao, standing nearby, said directly, "Director Liu, our Mr. Jiang has always been very broad-minded. He's just acting, and he won't take a few intimate scenes to heart."

Since Chen Yaodu said so, Liu Wei couldn't refuse and could only nod in agreement.

After leaving the coffee shop, Liu Wei was still worried, so he went to Lu Yongqiang again.

Liu Wei said with an embarrassed look on his face, "Mr. Lu, Miss Fang Ting has designated the role of the third female lead, and Chen Yao is also supporting her. I can only accept it. This should be fine, right?"

After Liu Wei finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang rubbed his brows.

Fang Ting debuted as a porn star, and after she followed Jiang Tiansheng, she was constantly surrounded by rumors and gossip. Jiang Tiansheng claimed to be indifferent to the gossip, but in reality, he had been involved in numerous incidents. If someone was gossiping behind their back, Jiang Tiansheng would be fine if he didn't know about it. But if he knew, he would secretly cause trouble for them. At the very least, he would have someone beat them up, and at the worst, he would just break their arms and legs.

In the past two years, Fang Ting has been going out to act from time to time. If any male actor in the crew gets close to Fang Ting, some small accident might happen.

Although Fang Ting debuted as a porn star, her acting skills are pretty good. She is also pretty. In addition, Fang Ting was very famous before, so she showed signs of becoming popular again last year.

Logically, even if Jiang Tiansheng didn't give her resources, there would still be many people outside asking her to act. Wouldn't she have fallen to the point where she has no films to film? I'm afraid Jiang Tiansheng has done a lot to make things worse...

Before Fang Ting was with Jiang Tiansheng, she was already a big star. After she was with Jiang Tiansheng, she retired from the entertainment industry and no longer appeared in public.

In the first two years, Jiang Tiansheng could not resist Fang Ting's nagging and agreed to let Fang Ting act again. At that time, Jiang Tiansheng certainly did not think that Fang Ting had the possibility of becoming popular again, but when she was about to become popular again, Jiang Tiansheng was unwilling again.

The reason why the relationship between Jiang Tiansheng and Fang Ting has changed so much in the past two years is actually related to Fang Ting's return to acting.

Chen Yao said that Jiang Tiansheng was broad-minded and didn't mind Fang Ting having some intimate scenes, but that was complete nonsense.

Lu Yongqiang thought about it and called Chen Yao directly.

After the call was connected, Lu Yongqiang complained, "Brother Yao, you're being a bit unkind this time. You're simply giving me a hot potato."

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Chen Yao explained, "Last month, Mr. Jiang and Miss Fang had a big fight. Miss Fang has been treating Mr. Jiang badly ever since. She has even been trying to commit suicide, even attempting suicide twice.

Mr. Jiang has no other choice but to let Miss Fang come out to film and relax."

"Mr. Jiang and his wife are fighting, but it makes me feel troubled. Doesn't that make sense?

Brother Yao, I heard that you supported Miss Fang in asking for the third female role today. I heard from Ah Wei that this role has several intimate scenes. If Mr. Jiang is unhappy when the movie is released, who will be held responsible? "

Chen Yao's explanation did not satisfy Lu Yongqiang, and he started complaining again.

Chen Yao smiled bitterly and said, "Aqiang, I think you've heard about Miss Fang's personality. If she gets angry, I can't handle her."

At this point, Chen Yao complained, "You gave her two roles. The second female lead has a lot of screen time, but her character setting is unlikable. The third female lead doesn't have many scenes, but her character setting is very outstanding. You gave her these two roles and let Miss Fang choose. Naturally, she chose the third female lead. Ultimately, this is due to your lack of consideration."

Chen Yao's words made Lu Yongqiang laugh out of anger.

"Brother Yao, you're really good at turning the tables, right? You brought Miss Fang here to ask for the role without even telling me in advance, and you even said it was Mr. Jiang's request.

What should I do? If I just give her an unlikable second female lead, what will Miss Fang think? What will Mr. Jiang think? They'll probably think I'm giving them no respect by giving her such an unlikable role.

Brother Yao, you want to get rid of trouble, but you throw it to me. Isn't this a dishonest act on your part? "

Lu Yongqiang's words left Chen Yao speechless.

Fang Ting tried to commit suicide, and Jiang Tiansheng was scared, so he agreed to let Fang Ting act. However, Jiang Tiansheng was still afraid that Fang Ting would be depressed while acting, so he asked Chen Yao to find a reliable crew for Fang Ting and asked Chen Yao to take good care of Fang Ting.

Chen Yao himself had a lot of things to do and had no time to take care of Fang Ting all the time, but the matter was arranged by Jiang Tiansheng, and Chen Yao did not dare to refuse. Just when Chen Yao was in trouble, Lu Yongqiang happened to have a movie to shoot, so Chen Yao thought of passing the blame to Lu Yongqiang.

As long as Fang Ting joined Lu Yongqiang's crew, if anything happened to Fang Ting, Lu Yongqiang would be implicated.

In fact, Fang Ting was not satisfied with the two roles given by Lu Yongqiang. The reason why she chose the third female role was not because the role was outstanding. It was just a small supporting role. Even if it was outstanding, Fang Ting would not look down on it. She chose this role just to make Lu Yongqiang embarrassed and then reject it.

Chen Yao was only interested in passing on the blame and didn't care whether Lu Yongqiang was embarrassed or not, so he joined in.

At first, Lu Yongqiang didn't think that Chen Yao was trying to pass the blame. He really thought that Jiang Tiansheng heard that he was making a new play and came to ask for a role. It was not until Liu Wei said that Chen Yao was helping him that Lu Yongqiang realized that he was being tricked by Chen Yao.

Chen Yao's little calculations would at most only make Lu Yongqiang feel a little embarrassed. In fact, it did not cause much loss to Lu Yongqiang. Given his current status, Jiang Tiansheng would not dare to offend him easily.

Since there was no loss, Lu Yongqiang would not hold a grudge for it, but Chen Yao had plotted against him, so he had to give an explanation. That's why Lu Yongqiang called to ask for an explanation.

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Chen Yao was silent for a moment, then he said, "Ah Qiang, aren't you thinking about my shop in Mong Kok? Have your lawyer come over tomorrow to sign the contract, and I'll pass it on to you."

After Chen Yao finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang chuckled twice, then said, "Brother Yao, thank you very much."

Chen Yao owns a clothing store in Mong Kok. It’s not that Lu Yongqiang is eyeing it, but Tong Keren is interested in the store. The Tong family is planning to build a shopping mall there.

The demolition compensation for the merchants there has almost been completed, with only a few left to negotiate. The most troublesome of them is Chen Yao's shop.

The location of the shop is very critical. It is in the center of the planned area and there is no way to avoid it. Chen Yao, on his side, got the news from somewhere and asked for a huge amount of compensation.

Chen Yao's huge demand was actually nothing to the wealthy Tong family. The Tong family didn't agree, not because they couldn't afford the money, but because they didn't dare to pay it.
