Hong Kong Variety Show: Me, the Traffic Enforcement and Control Team?

After Lin Zhengyi put his luggage away, Ed returned to the room, carrying several bottles of liquor.

"Look, these are all wines I specially brought back for you from Europe: 1982 Lafite and Romanée-Connie. They're all top-notch wines in the world. Let's drink to our hearts' content today!" Ed said with a smile, waving the wine in his hand.

"Sure, I'll drink with you to your heart's content today!" Lin Zhengyi readily agreed.

For men, everything is in alcohol.

Later!

After ordering some more food from the hotel, the two ate, drank, and chatted.

"Do you remember that year when you and Mandy made a bet in a corner of the school, the one who could pee the farthest, and the one who could pee the shortest would treat everyone to drinks? You both ended up peeing at the same time, just as that old woman, Vice Principal Mary, walked by? You two and the Vice Principal were all stunned on the spot. I was watching the three of you at that moment, and I laughed so hard!"

"I remember, I remember. In the end, we were both publicly criticized throughout the school for exposing ourselves in public!"

"Yes, I remember it so well. After the public reprimand came out, the whole school went crazy laughing. Even now, thinking about it makes me laugh, hahaha~"

The two, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, drank and chatted, reminiscing about the past. The more they talked, the more they enjoyed themselves, and the more they drank.

finally!

Both of them passed out drunk in the room.

-

After a night of heavy drinking.

The next day, after having breakfast, the two of them, Ed, pulled Lin Zhengyi aside and began to discuss serious matters.

"This is the contract for the book signing event. When we signed the contract with you, there was no agreement on any book signing event, so this book signing event is not part of our contract and is considered additional work."

“So when I was talking to the organizer, I negotiated a small appearance fee for you. It’s not much, but converted to Hong Kong dollars, it’s about 100,000. Is that okay? If not, I’ll talk to the organizer again and ask for a little more money!” Ed smiled and handed over a contract.

"It's just a signing event, it doesn't matter." Lin Zhengyi said with a smile, then took the contract and signed his name in a "swish".

Book signings are an activity that helps boost book sales.

This is also beneficial to Lin Zhengyi himself.

The more books he sells, the more he naturally earns.

Under these circumstances, as long as the price offered is reasonable, he is willing to negotiate further.

He could get more money if he talked about it further, but the organizer might give up. If the organizer gives up, he would not only lose his appearance fee, but also reduce book sales. It would be a lose-lose situation. Why bother?

"correct!"

Ed pulled out a new contract and said seriously, "Your Harry Potter 2 has taken over a large part of the popularity of Harry Potter 1, and its quality is also very good, so it's selling like hotcakes. The contract we signed with you before has already sold about 80 or 90 percent of it."

"According to our company's expert assessment, your Harry Potter 2 still has a lot of sales potential, so we need to sign another contract to increase the print run!"

"no problem!"

Lin Zhengyi agreed and then glanced at the contract.

Print another three million copies.

Based on the calculation that he can get three sakura pounds for each book sold, that's another nine million sakura pounds.

If converted to Hong Kong dollars, it would be 72 million.

He already had 90 million left, and now another 72 million has come in, bringing his total savings to 162 million.

Thinking about it!

Lin Zhengyi signed his name on it without hesitation.

After Ed put the contract away, he added, "Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to tell you. The Harry Potter movie is currently in production, and if all goes well, it should be finished by the end of this year or the beginning of next year."

"However, because this type of movie requires a lot of special effects, post-production will take a long time, and it will probably be released at the end of next year!"

Lin Zhengyi listened without surprise.

Although the film contract was signed a long time ago.

However, the bigger the production of a movie, the more time it takes.

While Harry Potter isn't exactly a top-tier blockbuster, it's still a big production, requiring a considerable amount of time to make. Furthermore, films like Harry Potter often need a lot of special effects, making their production time longer than typical movies. Therefore, it's generally difficult to complete a film in less than one or two years.

"I see!"

Lin Zhengyi didn't care about the Dao.

-

After finishing their business, Lin Zhengyi and his long-lost brother Ed spent the next few days eating, drinking, and having fun together in various parts of Taiwan.

And as they played around, the autograph session actually took place as scheduled.

Chapter 351 Autograph Session

"Lin Zhengyi!!!"

"Lin Zhengyi!!!"

"Lin Zhengyi!!!"

On the day of the autograph session, the signing location was densely packed with people, many of whom held up photos and light boards of Lin Zhengyi, shouting excitedly.

Through the gap in the door between the backstage and the front stage, watching this scene, Lin Zhengyi was so embarrassed he almost had a stroke.

As for what?

All he did was write a fairy tale.

This makes him seem like some kind of popular celebrity.

Damn, this is so embarrassing.

He couldn't help but ask Ed, who had come along with him, "Are these really my fans!?"

"Those people outside, quietly waiting with books in their hands, are truly your fans!"

Ed touched his nose and explained, "Those people holding up photos and light boards were hired by the organizers. They weren't sure what would happen if there weren't enough people, so they hired some actors. I heard they paid them 100 yuan a day, including lunch and dinner!"

"However, judging from the current situation, these actors are clearly superfluous."

Lin Zhengyi: "."

He said that he wasn't one of those popular celebrities, so where did all these brainless fans come from?

So it turns out they were the atmosphere team hired by the organizers!

This time!

A staff member walked in.

"Teacher Lin, everything is ready, we can begin!" the staff member said respectfully.

"Row!"

Lin Zhengyi agreed without hesitation.

immediately!

He got up and walked out—

at the same time!

Outside the book signing event.

A young man wearing wooden clogs and a middle-aged man wearing wooden clogs walked along, each with a skewer of grilled sausage.

suddenly!

They heard the commotion at the book signing event.

After glancing subconsciously towards the autograph session, the young man couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the photos being held up by the event organizers, "Damn, how come I keep running into this jerk everywhere I go? He's like a persistent ghost!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man glanced at the book signing area again and asked curiously, "Chicken, what's wrong?"

That's right!

The young man was none other than Chicken, who was being hunted down by the Tung Sing gang and forced to flee Hong Kong.

The middle-aged man next to him was none other than his cousin, Ke Zhihua, the driver of the leader of the Sanlian Gang.

"The person holding the autograph session over there is me. I guess you could call him an enemy!" Chicken didn't know how to describe his relationship with Lin Zhengyi, so he could only describe them as enemies.

"The enemy!?" Ke Zhihua asked curiously.

"That's right, the enemy!"

After answering, Chicken added, "Back in Hong Kong, I had a bit of a falling out with him."

Chicken briefly explained his past conflict with Lin Zhengyi.

of course!

He knew nothing about the past grievances Lin Zhengyi had plotted against him behind his back so many times, so he didn't say anything.

And after listening!

Ke Zhihua, however, felt that this so-called holiday was clearly Shanji's fault!

He harassed someone's female companion and even drugged her. Isn't that Chicken's fault?

Their subsequent retaliation was also reasonable and well-founded.

but!

There's a saying: "Treat your relatives, not those who are right."

Ke Zhihua is that kind of person.

So, without hesitation, he said, "How about this, we'll find a chance later and beat him up to vent your anger?"

Listen!

The pheasant was initially delighted and wanted to agree, but after thinking for a moment, it shook its head and said, "No!"

"what!?"

Ke Zhihua asked, puzzled, "Are you very angry with him?"

"I'm so angry!"
