Chapter 1068 A Generous Gift
At the end of December, Xiangjiang was already very lively.
Christmas has gradually become a very favorite holiday for the younger generation. The streets are full of lights and colorful lights, and many shops play Christmas songs, making it look cheerful and lively.
At this time, Jet Li and Huang Qiuyan, who had completed their filming and were a little tired of staying in Xiangjiang, left Xiangjiang with full harvest.
In addition to buying five boxes of various gifts, the young couple also had 50,000 yuan in their pockets.
Xiang Huasheng gave Li Lianjie a salary of HK$100,000 for his role in "October Siege".
As time has passed, the official exchange rate of the RMB against the Hong Kong dollar has reached an incredible deviation from the market price - 1:4.8.
It takes 4.8 Hong Kong dollars to exchange for 1 RMB.
But the fact is that the purchasing power of 1 Hong Kong dollar is very strong. According to the exchange rate of 2:1, there are many people to exchange it.
So after getting the pay, Wen Jun asked his friends in Guangdong to convert it directly into 50,000 RMB, and also issued a certificate proving that the crew directly gave him RMB as the pay.
Don't underestimate this proof. In today's society, if Li Lianjie wants to spend money generously, there must be a reason for the money, otherwise the relevant departments will come to ask him to sit down in a blink of an eye.
As Yin Jun's plenipotentiary representative, Wen Jun was originally thinking about giving Li Lianjie some money, such as signing bonus for him to switch to Kirin Culture in the future.
But after thinking about it, Wen Jun gave up.
It's too early to say this, and it feels a bit threatening, which is not in line with Yin Jun's approach of "moving people with emotion".
Wen Jun could also see that although Li Lianjie was full of yearning for a wealthy life, he was still a very simple and grateful person in essence. He could remember any kindness in his heart, instead of being like many people. Thinking that "you should be nice to me".
From this, he also admired Yin Jun's accuracy in judging people, and he actually played the emotional card from the beginning instead of using money to throw it away.
Wen Jun didn't know that Yin Jun actually didn't like Li Lianjie very much in his previous life. The main reason was that he was a bit pretentious, plus he was vain and indifferent to women.
Needless to say, the foundation he founded turned into a mess.
As for women, his senior sister Huang Qiuyan, who had sacrificed everything for him and even gave birth to a daughter, was simply abandoned by him and married Li Zhi, whom he thought they had more common ground with.
To put it bluntly, Huang Qiuyan is old and pearly, and relatively rustic, but Lizhi is just the opposite. She is beautiful and has a good figure, and she also knows how to be cool and discharge, and is full of fashionable atmosphere, so of course Li Lianjie likes her.
But then again, in terms of being a person and doing things, Li Lianjie is still qualified.
The foundation has good intentions and wants to help more people, which is for sure.
Then he would remember whoever helped him and repay them regardless of gain or loss.
Needless to say, Xiang Huaqiang and his wife helped Lizhi pay off a huge debt of 50 million yuan. Although there was also a need to film a movie to compensate for this, they did not ask for any collateral and directly gave you 50 million yuan in cash. A little bit, it's still very generous.
Therefore, Li Lianjie remembered this favor. He would not refuse anything that Xiang Huaqiang did. The most famous one was the bad movie Xiang Huaqiang made to praise his son. Li Lianjie knew it was a trap, so he could only He gritted his teeth and jumped down.
Then, there was another person who was also like this.
She is Li Lianjie's bole and benefactor-Cui Baozhu.
Everyone knows that "Once Upon a Time" is Jet Li's comeback, but not many people know that in the first film, Liang Kuan's role was more outstanding than his.
Who plays Liang Kuan?
Yuan Biao!
The younger brother of Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long, he is also one of Jiahe's big stars!
It would be strange not to assign a good role to such a person!
But even so, Jiahe didn't pay much attention to it, and the production cost given was very low, and it was on the verge of bankruptcy at one point.
At this time, it was Cui Baozhu who took the initiative to come to the door and helped Li Lianjie collect the production costs, so that Xu Laoguai and Li Lianjie teamed up to make this classic among classics, and this was the beginning of Li Lianjie's future.
Later, Cui Baozhu and Li Lianjie founded Zhengdong Film Company, and produced "Fang Shiyu", "The Bodyguard of Zhongnanhai", "Fist of Heroes" and other popular films that were sold all over Asia in one go, which completely established Li Lianjie's superstar status. status.
When encountering such a person, for the sake of his son, he asked Jet Li to play the role of Fahai in "The Legend of White Snake". What do you think Jet Li should do?
Isn't it just a matter of biting the bullet and starring in it, and then letting Cui Baozhu's son desperately use his fame to promote it, and finally make money?
Judging from the affairs between these two people, Yin Jun already knew that Li Lianjie was scheming and ruthless, but he remembered gratitude and had the bottom line of kindness and hatred in his heart, so he was not a bad person.
In this case, Yin Jun particularly liked his "Shaolin Temple" and "Once Upon a Time in China", so Yin Jun decided to support Jet Li. The reason was not just what others thought. Jet Li and Yin Jun were both from the mainland.
Now Li Lianjie doesn't know Yin Jun's plan.
He was in a state of elation right now.
On the one hand, he has seen the production of the best film crews in Hong Kong, and he has longed to come to Hong Kong, participate in more such movies, and then become the leading actor himself, truly become famous all over the world, and become a big star that attracts worldwide attention.
The second time I went to Xiangjiang, the relationship between Li Lianjie and his senior sister Huang Qiuyan grew day by day. In this place where no one restrained them, they lived in the same room every day. Huang Qiuyan doted on Li Lianjie, which naturally gave him all the blessings.
The third is that he has made such a large amount of money from acting. When he returns to Huajing, he can build two new houses for himself and Huang Qiuyan's home, which can be regarded as repaying his parents in advance.
The 5 big boxes of gifts were not paid for by him, but were gifts given to him by Yin Jun. They totaled 10,000 to 20,000 Hong Kong dollars. Compared to his salary, the money was not too much, and there was nothing too expensive. Yin Jun insisted on entrusting Wen Jun to deliver the things, but he could only accept them gratefully.
Next, he finally met Yin Jun, who had been famous for a long time, and Yin Jun enthusiastically invited him to join Qilin Film Company, which made Jet Li quite flattered.
He is not yet a rich man with a net worth of billions in the future, nor is he the world-famous Kung Fu Emperor of China. He is just an 18-year-old young man. At this age, he is only one year older than himself, but he has created such a grand situation. Of course, he admires the talented young man very much.
And Yin Jun's unstinting enthusiasm and sincerity also made him feel very warm in his heart. He decided that if he came to Xiangjiang, he would definitely join Yin Jun's side. He could not trust anyone else.
Finally, there is even greater good news, which is directly related to the cause he cares about most.
The day before leaving Xiangjiang, when Wen Jun went to his room, he quietly told him that Yin Jun was already discussing with people from Zhongyuan Film Company and was planning to cooperate with them to sign two more movies about Shaolin martial arts. With the current model, the capital investment is even greater, and it is initially estimated that each unit will cost 10 million Hong Kong dollars!
The director is still Zhang Xingyan of "Shaolin Temple". As Yin Jun's most admired martial arts actor, Jet Li is of course the number one leading actor. At the same time, Huang Qiuyan will also play the heroine in the two new movies, allowing them to perform together.
Such news really made Li Lianjie so happy that he couldn't sleep all night.
After filming "Shaolin Temple", his interest in movies has greatly increased, and he also likes the way movies are made in Hong Kong.
But this does not mean that he can come to Xiangjiang and start directly as a leading actor.
Li Lianjie is not stupid. He is just a newcomer with no qualifications or achievements. How could he beat so many big stars and become the leading actor in a movie?
Cheng Long, Zhou Yunfa, Huang Yuanshen, Hong Jinbao, Xu Guanjie... these superstars are all beyond his reach now.
He has only filmed one "Shaolin Temple" so far, and it was filmed in mainland China, which is enough to convince everyone.
Therefore, Li Lianjie was still a little hesitant about Yin Jun's invitation. He was afraid that he would not be able to adapt well and develop rapidly after coming to Xiangjiang.
Li Lianjie actually intends to train in China for two more years. When he is famous in Hong Kong and his movie shooting increases, then it will be the best time to come to Hong Kong.
After all, in the Mainland, with the level of sophistication in the production of "Shaolin Temple", he will definitely become famous.
In a place and era where there is a shortage of kung fu actors in the Mainland, if he continues to make movies, he should be able to find a leading role.
But what he didn't expect was that Yin Jun had already arranged it for him before he went back to the mainland to look for it!
Two consecutive super-large productions, both of which focus on Kung Fu Shaolin martial arts. Isn’t this tailor-made for you?
The film production fee is 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Jet Li, who has stayed in Hong Kong for so long, certainly understands what kind of price this is - it is purely aimed at the level of blockbusters!
Yin Jun took so much money and promoted himself as the leading actor. There was a lot of favor involved!
But Yin Jun didn't want anything from him, and he never even mentioned the contract company except for the first invitation.
When Jet Li and Huang Qiuyan chatted in the evening, Huang Qiuyan said that if Wen Jun used the starring roles in these two movies as a condition and asked Jet Li to join Qilin Film Company after choosing two movies, then it is very likely that he would give in.
But they didn't say anything, they just asked Jet Li to prepare well and perform well.
Look!
This is the atmosphere, this is the righteousness!
This is true appreciation for yourself!
With this kind of love, if I don’t join Qilin Movies in the future, I’ll be sorry for my conscience! !
