I'm unbeatable at extracting skills from celebrities!

"What does Wang Jing want with you?"

Having worked in the Hong Kong entertainment industry for many years, Faye Wong knew that fat guy; he was greedy and lecherous, but undeniably talented.

As a director, he can manage three film crews simultaneously: filming Andy Lau in the morning, Stephen Chow in the afternoon, and Chow Yun-fat in the evening.

If it were any other director, they would have collapsed long ago, but this fat guy handled it with ease, and when the three movies were released, they were all box office hits.

Hmm... that's nothing short of a miracle!

Wang Fei didn't like Jiang Nan hanging out with him at all, because... because this guy was the typical example of "keeping the home fires burning while having affairs outside".

Just like Qiu Shuzhen, who is by his side, the two have been living together for seven or eight years, but the fat man still refuses to divorce his wife.

"I didn't agree to be Jet Li's stunt double."

As Jiangnan sat down at the dining table to have dinner with Wang Fei, Li Naiwen, Tang Xu, and Zhu Yuanyuan, he casually offered an explanation.

"To be a stand-in... I'm not going!"

Before Jiangnan's official girlfriend, Wang Fei, could speak, Li Naiwen said indignantly, "Xu Ke invited you to play Wong Fei-hung, the absolute male lead, and this fat guy actually asked you to be his stunt double, it's an insult to you."

"Mmm!!!"

While eating, Zhu Yuanyuan observed the proprietress and agreed with Li Naiwen's point of view.

"The actor who plays Wong Fei-hung will be paid HK$12; the actor who is Jet Li's stunt double will be paid HK$20," Jiang Nan said unhurriedly.

"Wow, so much money?" Tang Xu was stunned.

"The price difference is 8 yuan. Jiangnan, I think you should consider this fat director." Zhu Yuanyuan felt that she should make more money while she was young.

Compared to the other two, Li Naiwen was the most direct. He put down his chopsticks, got up, and headed out of the restaurant.

"Where are you going?" Tang Xu reached out and grabbed him.

"I'll go ask the fat director, is it alright if you insult me? Actually, I used to practice Mantis Boxing when I was a kid."

As he was talking, this guy struck what he thought was a very cool pose in the restaurant, but no matter how you looked at it, it looked like a cockroach.

  

"Haha..." Everyone burst into laughter.

"puff…"

Seeing this, Wang Fei also laughed out loud.

But as she was laughing, the beautiful woman frowned, put her hand under the table, and gently patted Jiangnan's leg.

Jiangnan understood and immediately tilted his head towards her.

"Jiangnan, I think you're losing out by only getting 12 for starring as Wong Fei-hung. You should know that Rosamund Kwan gets 80 HKD for starring as Aunt Thirteen."

Yes, and also, several of your songs have topped the charts in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even Japan.

"Single Love Song" has been ranked number one on the Chinese Music Chart for three consecutive weeks. By the time the movie "Once Upon a Time in China" is released, you might already be famous.

"So?" Jiangnan asked.

"So, how about I introduce you to my agents, Chen Jiaying and Qiu Likuan? Even if they're unwilling to sign you, they can probably help you negotiate a better price with Xu Ke this time," Wang Fei said.

"good!"

Jiang Nan readily agreed to Wang Fei's suggestion.

It's not that Jiangnan has to sign with the same company as his girlfriend, but rather that he really likes Chen Jiaying's way of managing artists, whether it's Chen Baiqiang before, Wang Fei now, or Chen Yixun in the future.

She adopts a free-range approach, giving artists maximum freedom. "Do whatever you want, do whatever you want. If we don't make money this time, we can make it next time."

Unlike the current Wing Shing, which treats artists as cash cows, such as the famous Stephen Chow, whose market value is already over ten million Hong Kong dollars, they are only willing to give him 70.

Just then, Li Naiwen suddenly took out a pager from his waist, glanced at it, and handed it to Jiang Nan.

"Jiangnan, our homeroom teacher paged you."

[Jiangnan, play well! 〕

[Tonight, not only will Dean Xu be coming, but Dean Xu's friend Lang Kun will also be coming.]

※※※※※※※※※※※

Lang Kun is here!

The main reason he came was because Xu Xiaozhong, the president of the Central Academy of Drama, had bragged a lot at a drinking party last night.

"Lang Kun, haven't you already become the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala? As a friend, let me recommend a program to you?"

This skit has ghosts in it, it's not funny at all, but if you watch it and don't want it to be performed on the Spring Festival Gala stage, I'll turn my head down and let you kick it like a ball.

擦…

At that moment, Lang Kun swore.

The presence of ghosts is a major taboo on the Spring Festival Gala stage. Not only would it be disapproved by the higher-ups, but it would also be unacceptable to the performers themselves.

If it's not funny at all, how can it be a skit? Regarding the Spring Festival Gala, the higher-ups had already given instructions that it should be joyful and peaceful.

Therefore, the sketches performed on the Spring Festival Gala are generally works by many comedy stars such as Chen Peisi, Zhu Shimao, and Zhao Benshan.

Even so, Lang Kun still came.

Not for any other reason than to have a chance to trip up Xu Xiaozhong next time they drink together: "You have to drink an extra glass tonight, because you bragged a bit too much last time."

After getting off the bus at the entrance of Dongmianhua Hutong, Lang Kun strolled leisurely, as if taking a walk after a meal, wanting only a relaxed and comfortable experience.

However, when he stepped into the gates of the Central Academy of Drama, his expression immediately became serious.

Hong Kong's famous film director Wong Jing has arrived, accompanied by three beautiful women: Chang Min, Li Zi, and Chingmy Yau. Judging from their destination, they should be heading to the Central Academy of Drama's Black Box Theater.

Hong Kong's famous film director Tsui Hark arrived, accompanied by his girlfriend and business partner, Shi Nansheng. From the moment they entered, the two of them kept arguing about something.

Because of the distance, even though Lang Kun had good hearing, he could only hear the words "Jiangnan".

Are they going to film a martial arts movie in Jiangnan?

Just as Lang Kun was thinking this, he suddenly felt someone touch him. He turned around and saw a very beautiful woman.

Short hair, neat appearance, big eyes…

"I'm so sorry, Coach Lang. My brother had a performance today, so he was walking in a hurry and didn't expect to bump into you."

"Who are you…"

Lang Kun wasn't interested in who the beautiful woman's brother was; what interested him was that this beautiful woman actually knew who he was.

"My name is Zhou Tao, and I am a program host at Beijing TV. Currently, I host two programs at the station: a news program and an entertainment gossip program called 'Film and Television Circle'."

"Oh, I know who you are?"

"Is your husband Yao Ke, a host at China National Radio?" Lang Kun said, a little disappointed.

If it were a beautiful, unmarried woman, she might have had a wonderful encounter; but she's already married, and her husband is in the same profession…

Okay, then forget it.

"Yes, it's him."

Zhou Tao was a little happy.

It seems that this famous director from the national television station has some connection with her husband. So, if she could get her job transferred to the national television station through him, would it be easier for her?

Just then, Zhou Tao saw a tall, beautiful woman standing at the entrance of the East Teaching Building, waving at him.

"Sister Tao, over here, over here!"

Jiangnan and his classmate found two seats for us in the front row.

"Okay, Fei."

After agreeing, Zhou Tao turned to Lang Kun, apologized, and hurriedly left.

Watching her retreating figure, Lang Kun belatedly realized that the Jiangnan that Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng were talking about was a person's name, not a place.

"Jiangnan... Jiangnan..."

Lang Kun repeated the name several times, and then immediately took out his phone from his bag and dialed the number.

"Li Xiu, I am Lang Kun."

Yesterday you told a joke in the office, saying that a mainland musician wrote a song called "Walking Zhongxiao East Road Nine Times".

As a result, he was mistaken for a local in Taiwan, and his five songs dominated the top 5 spots on the China Broadcasting Corporation's Pop Music Chart.

Is this singer named Jiangnan?

"Yes, Coach Lang!"

I heard from my colleagues in Taiwan that PolyGram Records initially only distributed 10 units in Taiwan, but now they've increased that number to 40.

"Okay, I understand."

Lang Kun was slightly tempted. He hung up the phone and followed the flow of people into the Black Box Theater. As soon as he sat down, the theater lights went out.
