Hong Kong variety show: The tycoon who emerged from Portland Street

Is two million a high price? No!

Long Wei's current film salary is normally around two million.

Even if Longbo brought his apprentices to be martial arts instructors, it would still cost several hundred thousand.

Now that the two are being packaged together, Chen Mo is only offering a price of two million, which is already considered a very favorable price.

However, since Chen Mo first said that he was unfamiliar with the market and had done them a favor, they had no choice but to agree.

However, this small favor was hardly a repayment; they still owed Chen Mo a debt of gratitude.

Long Bo, whose plans had fallen through, gave a faint, bitter smile and nodded in agreement: "Let's go with the price Mr. Chen mentioned. My son and I are ready to start work anytime."

Chen Mo smiled faintly: "That's good. I'll have someone come and sign the contract with you later."

After leaving Longwei's house, Chen Mo contacted Li Yaofu that same day and told him that Longwei and his son had agreed to participate in the movie.

A few days later, good news kept coming in.

Robinson eventually acquired TNS Security for 58 million and renamed it Galaxy Security.

Meanwhile, all of TNS's employees in that floor of office building in Central were relocated to Tsim Sha Tsui, and that floor of office space was put up for sale.

That office building had a great location and nice decor; it was sold for 22 million in less than a day after it was put on the market.

Following Xian Shihui's instructions, Li Yaofu spent several days wandering around the tenement buildings in Sham Shui Po, constantly inquiring about whether there were any Big Circle Boys who knew kung fu.

The tenement buildings in Sham Shui Po used to be for laborers.

Now, because the environment is so bad but the rent is so low, it has become a gathering place for some migrant workers who have just come from the mainland.

Li Yaofu spent several days finding a few Big Circle Boys who had studied kung fu and were reasonably good-looking.

With the addition of Yin Tianchou, Liu Piaopiao, Tian Yangen, and Long Wei and his son, the production team officially started work.

On the first day of filming, Chen Mo also brought a few of his underlings to the set.

Apart from the action choreography team brought by Lung Wai and his son, most of the other crew members were former employees of Qiankun Film Company.

Director Li Yaofu is actually an outsider.

Chen Mo came mainly to help Li Yaofu maintain order.

By the way, give Li Yaofu a heads-up and tell him to give Long Wei a little more screen time.

We can't really treat Longwei as just an ordinary supporting character!

Fortunately, Lung Wai already had quite a few scenes, so adding a little more wouldn't be difficult.

Li Yaofu and Long Wei were old acquaintances, so he readily agreed.

"Brother Mo, other people's roles are so small, could you ask the director to give me a little more screen time?"

When Liu Piaopiao saw that Chen Mo had Li Yaofu add more scenes for Long Wei, she started to act coquettishly towards Chen Mo.

Unfortunately, her role was that of the policeman's girlfriend who died at the explosion site, and she only had a few minutes of screen time at the beginning.

In total, he had fewer scenes than Tian Yangen.

Director Li Yaofu, worried that Chen Mo might agree, quickly said, "Sister Piao, you're so beautiful, it doesn't matter if you have a small role. I guarantee I'll make you look absolutely stunning and make you an overnight sensation!"

It's not a big problem if the main characters have a few more shots than usual.

The character played by Liu Piaopiao is just a pretty face; there's no need to film more of her.

As long as those few scenes are filmed beautifully enough, that's fine.

Adding too much might affect the later plot.

Chen Mo also refused Liu Piaopiao's request.

"This movie is all about action scenes, but you can't fight, so why do you need so many scenes?"

"If you're so keen on this, why not cultivate a better relationship with Chin and have her write a script that suits you next time?"

The script has already been finalized; how can we add anything arbitrarily?

The reason Long Wei was given more screen time is because of his star power; Liu Piaopiao doesn't have that kind of star power.

Seeing that Chen Mo did not agree to Liu Piaopiao's request, Li Yaofu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After a few minutes in the theater, Chen Mo suddenly saw a somewhat familiar face.

Chen Mo pointed to a man with a buzz cut on set and asked, "Li Yaofu, who is that guy?"

Li Yaofu looked in the direction Chen Mo was pointing and said, "You mean that kid? His name is Gao Gang. He just came from the mainland a few days ago. I found him to act in a play."

A few days ago you asked me to find a martial arts expert with a star-like appearance, right? He's the best martial artist among the few I found. I heard he won some national championship in mainland China.

Chen Mo's lips twitched; it was Gao Gang.

When Chen Mo first came out of Stanley, he also thought about looking for Gao Gang.

However, after inquiring around several underground boxing rings on Hong Kong Island, I couldn't find anyone named Gao Gang.

Later, when Chen Mo no longer needed people, he stopped looking.

I never expected to run into you here today.

"Boss, should I call that kid over so he can say hello to you?"

Before Chen Mo could react, Li Yaofu shouted at Gao Gang.

"Gao Gang, come here for a second!"

"They're here!"

Upon hearing the sound, Gao Gang immediately jogged over.

"This is our boss. You can call him Boss or Brother Mo, it's up to you."

"Hello, boss." Gao Gang quickly bowed to Chen Mo, his face showing a hint of shyness and nervousness.

Chen Mo looked Gao Gang up and down.

"I heard from Old Li that you know kung fu and even won a national championship. Which style or school did you study?"

"I'm not affiliated with any particular school," Gao Gang explained. "I graduated from a martial arts school, and I know a little bit of various kung fu styles. I'm best at Tai Chi and Tongbei Quan. I also know a bit about swordsmanship and spear techniques."

"How about this, you perform a set of punches first, let me see."

Gao Gang glanced nervously at Li Yaofu beside him, and after seeing Li Yaofu nod slightly, he agreed.

Gao Gang took two steps back and stood still, assuming a fighting stance.

Chen Mo and Liu Piaopiao also took a few steps back to give Gao Gang some space.

Gao Gang then began to practice his boxing. First, he performed a slow and leisurely set of Yang-style Tai Chi, and then he performed a set of Tongbei Quan.

It must be said that Gao Gang truly deserves his title as a martial arts champion; his movements are clean, crisp, and incredibly elegant.

The commotion caused by Gao Gang's boxing attracted many members of the film crew, who gathered around him and applauded.

After Gao Gang finished his stance and stood up, Chen Mo nodded and took two steps forward.

"You played well. Let's have a match."

"Huh? Isn't that a bad idea?" Gao Gang said, somewhat embarrassed.

Upon hearing that Chen Mo had Gao Gang fight him, Li Yaofu also stepped forward to stop him, saying, "Brother Mo, why don't we just let it go? He's just a kid; it wouldn't be good if he hurt you."

Chen Mo glared at Li Yaofu. "Get out of my way. What's it to you?"

After being glared at by Chen Mo, Li Yaofu could only retreat to the side in a huff.

Chen Mo then looked at Gao Gang and said, "I am also a martial artist. Let's just have a simple spar. Come on."

As he spoke, Chen Mo took off his suit jacket and tossed it to Liu Piaopiao, then rolled up his sleeves, revealing the muscles on his forearms.

Gao Gang could tell that Chen Mo was a skilled fighter, and knew that he had no choice but to fight, so he clasped his hands in a salute.

"I'm sorry."
