Chapter 95 Fatty Wang Returns to His Position (3rd Update, Please Subscribe)

A short while later, the doorbell rang.

The restaurant's delivery service arrived, and Zhang Shuai'an went to pick up the food.

The two enjoyed dinner together.

After finishing their meal, they continued discussing the remaining roles in "Chasing Girls".

One of the characters is a recently divorced wealthy woman who wants to find a reliable man, but she loves dogs dearly, while the male protagonist, Roberto, is allergic to dog hair.

Also, for comedic effect, Zhang Shuai'an took the character Jian Guo, played by Feng Yuanzheng in "If You Are the One," and made some modifications.

"Why is this character so strange?"

Chung Chu-hung stared at the character's name, lost in thought: "His name is Shi Zhigang, but his personality is like a woman's, and he likes men. Isn't that just gay?"

Zhang Shuai'an replied, "It's not that serious. He's been timid since childhood, so he's often bullied. The reason is that Robert once stood up for him and saved him from a group of thugs. That's why he only likes Robert and doesn't like any other men."

Chung Chor-hung pressed further, "So, your note that you wanted a tall, imposing male actor—was that meant to create a sense of contrast?"

"Yes." Zhang Shuai'an nodded: "These kinds of roles are just for variety."

Just like "Ru Hua" who often appears in Stephen Chow's movies.

After the two finished their discussion, they watched TV for a while. TVB was showing "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang".

After watching TV, the two exchanged a strange glance, and then went into the room together in tacit agreement.

For the next two days, Cherie Chung spent all her time with Zhang Shuai'an.

Playing together, cleaning together, writing together —

I had a pretty comfortable time, and the room was inexplicably filled with a sweet, sour smell, like that of a couple in love.

On the third day, Cherie Chung left because she had other work to do and couldn't let Zhang Shuai'an keep bothering her.

Once Zhang Shuai'an's "Chasing Girls" production team is assembled, she will naturally join the crew.

During this period, Zhang Shuai'an went through the lines and scenes of "Chasing Girls" again, and even called Wang Pangzi to invite him to join the scriptwriting and directing team of "Chasing Girls".

Fatty Wang was actually a little hesitant, and after receiving Zhang Shuai'an's call, he became somewhat uneasy.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Wang Tianlin couldn't help but slap his son when he saw his son's expression. "Are you out of your mind? Did you go steal chickens or pet dogs last night?"

Fatty Wang gave a wry smile: "Dad, stop teasing me. There's something I'm having trouble with."

"What is it?" Wang Tianlin asked directly, "Tell me about it."

Fatty Wang pondered for two or three seconds, then said, "It's Anzai. He started his own company, and he said he needed more people. If I go there, I'll be the vice president, and I can work independently."

He then revealed his dilemma: "But Mr. Shao values ​​me so much, I feel bad about just leaving. Besides, I don't know if Anzai's company will be able to continue operating."

After listening, Wang Tianlin cursed speechlessly, "Damn it, how could someone as smart as me have given birth to such a stupid brat like you?"

"Huh?" Fatty Wang clearly hadn't expected his father to scold him like that: "Dad, you can say whatever you want, but why are you yelling at me?"

Wang Tianlin said irritably, "You've been growing up in Shao's Changtian, don't you even see what this place looks like?"

His words became increasingly blunt: "Decades have passed, and Shaw Brothers has produced superstars and great directors—but you should have seen what became of these people."

"Your father isn't very capable, and I didn't dare leave Shaw Brothers before. Now that I'm getting old, I can't leave Shaw Brothers."

He concluded with a probing question: "How old are you? Are you already thinking of staying at Shaw Brothers forever, until you're old?"

"But Anzai's company might not be reliable," Fatty Wang said with some worry. "If his company goes bankrupt and I come back in disgrace, Mr. Shao might not be willing to take me in again."

"That's why you're so stupid." Wang Tianlin was so angry he wanted to hit him. "With your dad here, when do you think you'll come back? You'll be eating!"

Fatty Wang was stunned for a moment, then finally came to his senses: "That's right, with you here, Dad, I can come back anytime."

"Young people should go out and explore more."

Wang Tianlin said earnestly, "No matter how afraid you are of failure, experiencing more things may not be a bad thing. Besides, your talent is no less than that of Zhang Shuai'an."

"This one should be a little lower." Fatty Wang really didn't dare to compare himself to Zhang Shuai'an. This kid was too monstrous. One "Young Detective Bao Qingtian" and another "Shanghai Bund" had completely convinced him.

"Okay, then I'll go talk to Shao Sheng," Fatty Wang said seriously.

Wang Tianlin said, "Let me take you there."

The father and son went to Shao Yifu's office together.

After hearing Wang Tianlin's words, Shao Yifu frowned slightly: "What do you mean? You think the Shao family's pond is too small to support a dragon like you?"

"Shao Sheng, I absolutely didn't mean that." Fatty Wang was startled and quickly explained, "It's my own idea to go out and try my luck. My dad has tried to persuade me to go out and try my luck several times."

But I'm still young, and I don't want people to say I only stayed at Shaw Brothers because of my father. I want to try to make a name for myself and prove that I'm not the kind of good-for-nothing second-generation rich kid.

Wang Tianlin licked his lips and said slowly, "Shao Sheng, I've thought about it too. Since Jingzai wants to go out and try his luck, why not let him go out and give it a try? If he doesn't experience some trials and tribulations outside, he won't know his own limitations, and he might ruin your big plans one day."

After pondering for a couple of seconds, Shao Yifu said calmly, "Going out to try your luck isn't necessarily a bad thing. However, let's finish the script assignment for Shaw Brothers first."

Fatty Wang quickly replied, "I've already prepared for this. I have three completed scripts, which I've given to my dad."

Shao Yifu didn't make things difficult for Fatty Wang, waving his hand and saying, "Alright, go ahead. If you get bullied outside someday, just come back."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Shao." Fatty Wang was extremely grateful.

After leaving Shao Yifu's office, Fatty Wang immediately went to get his car and drove straight to Zhang Shuai'an's residence.

"Anzai, Anzai, open the door!"

When he arrived at Zhang Shuai'an's residence, he rang the doorbell.

A short while later, the door opened.

He Jiatong opened the door: "Brother Jing, what brings you here?"

Fatty Wang replied, "Of course we're here to see Anzai. Where is he?"

He Jiatong stepped aside to let Wang Pangzi in: "He's in the living room, writing a script."

While eating the breakfast He Jiatong bought, Zhang Shuai'an picked up a pen and scribbled on the script, revising some lines.

"Anzai, I've come to stay with you!"

Fatty Wang immediately slid down to his knees and said with great emotion, "Wang Jing has wandered for half his life, only regretting that he has not met a wise ruler. If you do not abandon me, I am willing to become your sworn brother—"

"Stop, stop!" Zhang Shuai'an was so startled that he almost dropped his chopsticks. He stepped forward and helped Wang Pangzi up: "Good heavens, I almost became Dong Zhuo."
