Feng Shui Secrets of the Entertainment Industry
Chapter 644 Mahan's Request 2
In this day and age, 100 million yuan is not yet jokingly referred to as a small goal, and housing prices have not skyrocketed, so having 100 million yuan in the family is really a lot!
Not everyone is like Gambling King Lu, who doesn't care about money.
If we hadn't become Lui's health care doctor, we wouldn't have earned so much.
Back in the capital, it was Aunt Xiao and Third Master who helped us raise the price.
In Hong Kong Island, our medical expenses have skyrocketed again, thanks to the actions of gambling tycoon Lui.
Under normal circumstances, even a charlatan in the entertainment industry wouldn't earn that much.
For example, the famous Wang Sanmu didn't earn as much as we do.
Of course, we donate as much as we earn.
Wang Sanmu, on the other hand, was extremely stingy, spending all his earnings on his own enjoyment.
"They didn't react much to my being blacklisted and are still living a carefree life. They colluded with my agent to set a trap for me!"
Mahan continued.
"What trap?" I asked.
"Back then, I still wanted to be famous. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have entered the entertainment industry. One day, my agent told me they'd gotten me a role in a movie. I thought the matter was over, so I didn't think much of it and went to meet the director and sign the contract. But it turned out that the contract was a 'dual contract,' with many unreasonable clauses!"
Mahan's teeth clenched as he recounted the experience, "They used this to trick me into going to a hotel to film a sexually explicit scene. I was the lead, and the supporting roles were played by two other men, one of whom was a foreigner!"
As the character "人" (person) fell, Ma Han picked up his wine and downed it in one gulp.
The three of us exchanged a glance and then drank our wine.
While waiting for Ma Han to pick us up, we followed Long Nier's instructions and searched for related news.
It can only be said that the content described there is different from what Mahan said.
Although the content differs, the overall situation is largely the same. The only difference is that in the previous exposé, Ma Han actively begged, while now Ma Han says he was forced.
After I drank the wine, I looked at Ma Han with a hint of sympathy in my eyes.
This is the first time I've ever looked at someone like this.
The main point is that Mahan was not truly acting voluntarily.
"After filming that drama, I was completely disheartened and didn't want to stay in Hong Kong anymore. I wanted to leave, but my contract hadn't expired yet. In order to terminate the contract, I sued the company and ended up having to pay compensation!"
After catching his breath, Ma Han continued, "I thought that was the end of it, but I didn't expect that my company would still target me, posting online to smear me, saying that I slept with the director to get ahead!"
As he spoke, Mahan became agitated, "I'm not that kind of person at all. If I were doing this willingly, why would I come back? I could have easily sold myself out to get resources!"
"Brother Han, Brother Han, don't get excited, please don't get excited!" Fatty Lin and I tried to persuade him at the same time.
"Um!"
Ma Han took a couple of deep breaths to calm himself down and said, "I can accept everything else, but what I can't accept is that they keep coming out to disgust me every now and then. It's been almost seven years since I filed the lawsuit, seven years! Why won't they let me go?"
"Brother Han, your company's two CEOs, Mr. Wang, also have connections in Hong Kong. Didn't you ask them to help you?" Fatty Lin said meaningfully.
"It's no use telling me!"
Ma Han gave a bitter smile and said, "I'm done with the big shot I punched. Now, the guy messing with me is my former boss!"
"He hates that I'm in court with him, hates that I'm out of his control, and can't stand to see me do well. Every time I do something outstanding, he sends people to smear me!"
"What's your company boss's name?" Fatty Lin asked after thinking for a moment.
"Zhou Shilong!" Ma Han said.
"Old Zhou!" Fatty Lin exclaimed, suddenly realizing something. "Leave this to me, I guarantee I'll handle it perfectly!"
"Master Lin, I won't say much more in thanks. If things between me and President Zhou can be put behind us, just watch my future performance!" Ma Han immediately toasted us with a glass of wine.
The way he spoke had a strong Beijing accent; if you didn't know better, you'd think he was a native of Beijing!
"Brother Han, just wait for my good news!" Fatty Lin clinked glasses with Ma Han and drank his wine in one gulp.
After leaving the restaurant, Mahan drove us back to the hotel.
Back in his room, Fatty Lin chuckled and said, "This job is easy, just one phone call!"
"Fatty, if I remember correctly, Zhou Shilong is one of your cronies, right?" I said.
"Yes, that's him!" Fatty Lin nodded and said, "Old Zhou is a rich second-generation, a playboy. He's been used to everything going his way since he was a child, and he hates it when his subordinates go against him. Ma Han sued him and tried to terminate his contract back then, which probably offended him. I'll call him right now!"
As he spoke, Fatty Lin took out his phone and called Zhou Shilong.
Fatty Lin has a bunch of friends in Hong Kong, and Chow Sai-lung is one of them.
Zhou Shilong's company now mainly promotes models.
Zhou Shilong's family is in the clothing business and has a lot of fashion resources. In particular, he can connect with international fashion weeks overseas and send his models abroad in batches.
Lin Pangzi and Zhou Shilong became friends for two reasons: first, Zhou Shilong had bought a lot of tonics from us; second, Zhou Shilong had his most famous mixed-race model, Ma Lin Q, accompany Lin Pangzi for two days.
Who is Ma Lin Q?
The movie she starred in, "Naked Agent," is very famous in mainland China and Hong Kong.
"Jingzi, every time you call me, you call at the perfect time!"
The call was quickly connected, and Zhou Shilong's slightly helpless voice and a woman's coquettish laughter came through.
"Running errands again? Are your kidneys up to the task?" Fatty Lin joked.
"If you can't handle it, there's something wrong with your medication!"
Zhou Shilong stopped moving, his breathing became steady, and we could even hear the sound of a lighter striking.
"Old Zhou, if you say that, I won't sell you my medicine anymore!" Fatty Lin said.
"Jing-ge, I was wrong!"
Zhou Shilong immediately apologized and said, "Brother Jing, you must have something to say to call me right now, right?"
"There's something I need to take care of!"
Fatty Lin grunted and said, "You know Ma Han, right?"
"He contacted you?" Zhou Shilong immediately realized.
"I've looked for him, hoping you'll be magnanimous and let him off the hook!" Fatty Lin said.
"Jing-ge, let me tell you, it's only because you came to me that I'm willing to let him go. I wouldn't have agreed to let anyone else off the hook. In all these years, he's the first person to sue me and fight me for contract termination. He thinks he's so capable? I'll play along and see who can outmaneuver whom!"
Zhou Shilong burst out in a thick Northeastern accent mixed with Cantonese-accented Mandarin.
It's clear that he harbors a great deal of resentment towards Mahan.
