Hong Kong films: Starting from Shaolin Temple

Long Yan signed his name and pressed his fingerprint in the designated spot.

"Little Master, this is a betting agreement; you don't need to sign it," Xu Ke reminded him.

So-called performance-based agreement,

It's a business agreement.

If the total box office of A Chinese Ghost Story 3 exceeds 15 million, Longyan will receive an additional 10% of the box office revenue.

However, if the total box office is less than 15 million, Long Yan's 1 million salary will be reduced to zero, and he will not receive a single penny.

This is an agreement designed to scam people!

Get actors for free!

It's a routine.

Therefore, actors generally do not sign performance-based agreements, as the risk is too great.

But Long Yan still signed!

"Director Xu, my junior brother signed the wrong contract. This one is invalid. Could you please give him another one?" Uncle Da was afraid that Long Yan would fall into a trap.

“No, I voluntarily sign the betting agreement.” Long Yan had thought it through carefully.

Because he knew very well,

The total box office of A Chinese Ghost Story 3 was 1501 million, exceeding 15 million.

Although it only exceeded the limit by 10,000, it still exceeded it.

Therefore, signing this performance-based agreement greatly increases the probability of winning.

Moreover, since Long Yan himself is playing the male lead, he naturally has even more confidence.

"Little Master, have you thought this through?" Xu Ke urged Long Yan to think it through and provided box office information for the first two films of A Chinese Ghost Story.

A Chinese Ghost Story, 1883 million views.

A Chinese Ghost Story 2: The Human Path, 2078 million views.

As for the third installment, it's a poor sequel, and the probability of it breaking 15 million views is not high.

The production team wasn't stupid. The 15 million yuan box office figure in the betting agreement was a result they derived from data analysis, which of course benefited the investors.

This is a huge pitfall.

But Long Yan saw an opportunity.

Without hesitation, I signed the document, pressed my fingerprint, and the contract was signed, thus making the agreement effective.

He is the male protagonist of A Chinese Ghost Story 3.

.......

030 Master Long Eyebrows VS Red Lemon! This hidden weapon is terrifying!

"Young master, it's a pleasure to work with you."

After signing the contract, Xu Ke took out the script for A Chinese Ghost Story 3 and handed it to Long Yan, saying:

"Preparations for the film are complete, and filming could begin at any time. Could you please leave your phone number, young master, so we can let you know?"

Long Yan looked at Uncle Da.

Uncle Da immediately handed over the Oolong Temple's exclusive business card, which had a phone number on it.

"Director Xu, if you need any rituals, services to help the souls of the dead find peace, or exorcise demons, you can contact us. We are professionals."

I also took the opportunity to promote Wulong Temple's "business," since so many of the monks in Wulong Temple need to eat and are self-reliant.

Xu Ke accepted the business card, smiled, and said:

"The police department needs talents like you. There have been a lot of paranormal events in Hong Kong recently, and it is said that zombies have also appeared."

However, for Xu Ke, filming is still the most important thing.

I talked to Long Yan about the script.

Long Yan was very familiar with the plot, which saved him a lot of trouble.

They even offered some suggestions for revisions, just waiting for the film to officially begin shooting.

Uncle Da continued to play minor roles.

Although he could play the Tree Demon Granny in A Chinese Ghost Story 3

However, before filming officially begins, one cannot receive the 100,000 yuan payment.

Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.

Before Xiao Hong leaves Wulong Temple, she only has two days left to earn 100,000 yuan.

For love, Uncle Da continued to risk his life as an extra to earn money.

Jumping off buildings, car accidents, fires... Uncle Da never refused any dangerous scenario as long as it could make money.

As dusk fell,

Long Yan bid farewell to Xu Ke and Cheng Xiaodong, and returned to Wulongyuan with the arrogant Wen.

"Senior Brother, aren't you going back tonight?" Long Yan asked.

"I'm still short 30,000 yuan. I'm filming a night scene tonight, and I'll go back tomorrow morning." Uncle Da was already acting like a madman, covered in bruises, but he still refused to go back.

"Senior Brother, perhaps Xiao Hong isn't worth all this trouble," Long Yan wanted to say, trying to persuade him.

But Uncle Da was deeply in love and wouldn't listen, saying:

"No matter what kind of person Xiaohong is, I like her!"

Left with no other option, Long Yan had to give up.

And it's rare that Uncle Da worked so hard today and earned so much money.

That's a good thing!

While love may not be real, the money earned is tangible and real.

Therefore, Long Yan did not stop Uncle Da from continuing to play minor roles.

"Director Xu, where does this monk Long Yan get the confidence to sign a gambling agreement with us?" Cheng Xiaodong looked at the contract, still feeling puzzled.

They can't even guarantee a box office of 15 million.

“That’s courage!”

"And maybe the little master really has opened his third eye and can predict the future," Xu Ke joked.

“Then he should go to the casino and challenge the God of Gamblers, wouldn’t that be more profitable than making movies?” Cheng Xiaodong joked.

"Maybe in the future. I feel that the young master is no ordinary person." Xu Ke had a premonition.

"Then let's wait and see." Cheng Xiaodong, as the chief director, began preparations for filming, striving to start shooting A Chinese Ghost Story 3 as soon as possible.

He was also very interested to see what kind of sparks would fly between a real monk and the female ghost played by actress Wang Xian'er.

……

Before morning classes,

Long Yan and Chou Pi Wen returned to Wulong Courtyard.

But we didn't see the Master with Long Eyebrows.

"Little Dragon, have you seen Master Long Eyebrows?" Long Yan asked.

The reason he rushed back to Wulong Temple was that he guessed Master Longbrow would encounter danger that night.

"It seems Master went to the forbidden area in the back mountain. No one but him can go there," Xiaolong replied. He had been at Wulong Temple all day and knew the situation better.

"What about Little Red Girl?" Long Yan asked again.

Xiao Long shook his head and said:

"I don't know either. I haven't seen Little Red since the sun went down. She doesn't seem to be in the room either."

Long Yan immediately understood.

Red Lemon must have been impatient and trespassed into the forbidden area behind Wulong Temple.

Master Long Eyebrows was definitely going to stop her.

"I'm going to the back mountain."

Long Yan set off immediately, not even bothering to eat dinner.

This concerns the safety of Master Long Eyebrow!

According to the plot, Master Longbrow will be kidnapped and abducted by Red Lemon, and will lose all his martial arts skills.

Therefore, Long Yan wanted to prevent this event from happening.

The area behind Wulong Temple is very large.

It includes the Pagoda Forest, the Stele Forest, the Ancestral Temple, the Bodhidharma Cave, the Repentance Cave, etc.

There are also many caves where one can retreat into seclusion and meditate.

The Cave of Repentance is where the martial uncle meditates and reflects on his mistakes; it is a forbidden area.

This is something every martial monk in Wulong Temple knows.

Longyang had just reached the back of the mountain when he headed straight for the Cave of Repentance.

As soon as they arrived at the cave entrance, they bumped into Master Long Eyebrows.

"Shh!"

Master Longmei led Long Yan to a secluded spot and asked in surprise:

"Long Yan, what brings you here? This is a forbidden area."

“Master, I suspect that Xiao Hong was sent by the Demonic Sect to take over the meditating master in the back mountain, so I came to ambush her,” Long Yan said truthfully.

"Good lad, you're thinking the same thing as your master!" Master Longbrow said, "Then let's lie in wait together for Little Red to appear."
