Chapter 1080 Awkward Request
Sitting in the living room of Zhao Yazhi's villa, Di Long looked around.
"The house is not big, and the children often act up and make it a bit messy. Brother Long, don't mind." Zhao Yazhi brought him a cup of coffee and apologized with a smile.
"No, this house is much better than mine." Di Long came over and said with a coffee cup: "My wife has been forcing me to buy a small villa like this recently, but the problem is that the house price is so high. I’m afraid I’ll buy it on the top of the mountain.”
"Well, I heard that the current housing prices are indeed too high, and it is right not to buy it for the time being." Zhao Yazhi said smoothly.
"Who did you hear that from?" Di Long also pretended to be smooth and said, "Is the news reliable? My wife has taken a fancy to the villa over there in Repulse Bay and wants to borrow 5 million to buy it!"
"Ah?" Zhao Yazhi opened her eyes and thought for a while before replying: "Brother Long, don't be so impulsive. The house prices will definitely fall this year. Although I don't know how much they will fall, but this news, I am... ...I heard it from Yin Jun, there’s no way he could lie to me!”
When he thought that Di Long would spend seven to eight million dollars to buy a high-priced villa, Zhao Yazhi couldn't care about anything else and quickly said Yin Jun's name to prove where his judgment came from.
Yin Jun has long said in interviews that housing prices in Xiangjiang are already very irrational and are likely to collapse in the next year or two. He calls on everyone not to invest too much money in real estate, especially those who buy houses with loans. , must be steady.
Everyone believed what Yin Jun said was right.
Hong Kong people are not crazy. Of course they know that there can be no stock or property market that keeps rising. There must be times when it reaches its peak and suddenly falls.
Everyone is guessing what this time point is, but they keep wanting to be the highest and feel confident that they will avoid it before reaching the highest point.
Now Zhao Ya subconsciously told the most accurate time point, so Di Long, who was looking for a topic to talk about, secretly remembered it in his heart and nodded, "Okay, I remembered it, I will seriously consider it, thank you You tell me, Yazhi. Don't worry, I won't reveal it to others."
After Zhao Yazhi told the truth, he felt a little regretful to be honest, because if the news was leaked, it would definitely cause trouble for Yin Jun.
Now seeing Di Long's understanding, she smiled slightly and said nothing more.
As the former top star of Shaw Brothers, Di Long, a good man, has also made a lot of money in recent years.
These celebrities in Xiangjiang have never been very fond of financial management. To be precise, they don't know how to allocate investments reasonably, but these people definitely do not include Di Long.
Especially Mrs. Di, once she has saved enough money, she will buy a house, and once she has saved enough money, she will buy a house again.
After more than ten years, Di Long has a total of 8 properties in Xiangjiang. The smallest one has an area of 600 square feet, and the largest one has a luxury apartment of 2,000 square feet. He also has two cars. He is considered the richest among a group of brothers. one of.
Of course, the reason why Di Long is so rich is because he has the highest salary in Shaw Brothers, even higher than Jiang Dawei.
Following Chuck in the past few years, and Chu Yuan in the past few years, Di Long has been jumping left and right, and the pay is naturally getting higher and higher. He can actually get a salary of about 500,000 plus dividends for a movie.
You know, before his master left Shaw Brothers, he only had 200,000 yuan per movie. The same was true for Chu Yuan. Neither of them combined had as much as Di Long.
But Di Long didn't get the money for nothing. If he wanted to get such a high salary and dividend from Shao Jingmen, Di Long's contribution must be great.
In fact, Shaw Brothers' movies are still making money now, thanks to Di Long, Jiang Dawei and other Kung Fu superstars who are well-known throughout Asia. If it weren't for the support of several of their movies every year, just relying on Shaw Brothers' poor productions , has already lost money.
Even cutting-edge directors like Du Qifeng often have to rely on the power of Di Long and Jiang Dawei. One can imagine Di Long's influence in Shaw Brothers.
However, these few years are different from previous years.
On the one hand, film companies such as Golden Harvest, New Art City, and Kirin continue to emerge, severely squeezing Shaw Brothers' status and market share.
On the other hand, film companies such as Golden Harvest, New Art City, and Kirin offer higher film salaries than the previous ones. Too many people from Shaw Brothers, whether they are behind-the-scenes staff or actors and stars, have fled to these companies.
Just like when Jiashi was first established, people from TVB defected.
Seeing that a fledgling boy could get a sky-high salary of 20 million Hong Kong dollars plus dividends for "Speed", he is still proud of being able to get 500,000 Hong Kong dollars in salary plus dividends at Shaw Brothers. The difference is really huge!
yes.
If you want to talk about "Speed of Life", Fei Xiang was absolutely stunning in his performance. Di Long also admitted this, but when he was young, he was no worse than him!
That is to say, the era is different. I am now 35 years old and can no longer play the roles of those young people.
However, if I played the role of Zhou Runfa in "Prison" by Zhou Runfa, how could I be worse than him?
Zhou Runfa is not old enough, and the sense of vicissitudes and loneliness of being in prison is not enough. If the script was not well written and the director's atmosphere was not well rendered, points would be deducted based on this alone!
Yin Jun is really a genius!
You can write young characters, you can write older characters, you can write comedies, you can also write dramas...
I really can't think of any other category of scripts that he can't write.
It is precisely because he knows that Yin Jun can write any script that Di Long has recently started to think about whether he can cooperate with Yin Jun.
After all, I have been a banner of the Hong Kong film industry for the past ten years!
Di Long is a smart man. He did not ask his junior sister Hui Yinghong for help, even though he knew that Hui Yinghong had a good relationship with Yin Jun and Wei Xiaofan, and Yin Jun also gave Hui Yinghong a favor for Hui Yinghong's sake. Master Chuck's classic "The Guard".
Well, Di Long also participated in "The Guardian" as one of the protagonists, but to be honest, he was tired of such movies and did not want to repeat the role of martial arts, so he did not join "The Guardian 2" which started filming in the second half of last year.
The reason why Di Long didn't look for Hui Yinghong was that he switched jobs from Chuck a few years ago to Chu Yuan to make movies. Although Chuck didn't say it, he continued to treat him well, and "Jinyiwei" also made him He took the photo, but Di Long knew that Hui Yinghong didn't agree with him at all.
Besides, Hui Yinghong is just Yin Jun's friend, and he has a better candidate for lobbying, and that is Yin Jun's woman.
who?
Isn't it Zhao Yazhi who is sitting opposite him now?
After Zhao Yazhi first debuted in the wireless beauty pageant, she has been filming movies and TV series.
Di Long was a good man. Seeing that the little girl was cute and weak, he took care of her when they were working together. Even when there was no movie that he participated in, he asked others to take care of Zhao Yazhi.
In this way, Zhao Yazhi and Di Long became good friends, and their friendship has continued to this day.
Yin Jun's sexual behavior is well known to everyone.
Not only does he care about Zhilin, his childhood sweetheart girlfriend, but he also has a fashionable and beautiful girlfriend-Zhong Chuhong, both of whom he has acquiesced to.
In addition, many people have heard that Yin Jun also likes older women, such as Baodaoyu x Lin Qingxia, international queen Deng Lijun, and the beautiful girl Zhao Yazhi.
Oh, by the way, Lizhi, the devil-shaped beauty who recently appeared on the Kylin TV channel, is also said to be in Yin Jun's room.
Di Long didn't know about the others, but Di Long knew that Zhao Yazhi must have had an affair with Yin Jun.
During several meals, Di Long noticed that Zhao Yazhi, who had been divorced and lived alone, had a radiant face, as if he had been nourished by men.
In addition, Zhao Yazhi's casual and natural attitude when he accidentally mentioned Yin Jun made it even less like an ordinary relationship.
Since Di Long has such a good friend relationship with Zhao Yazhi, it would be a waste not to make good use of it.
Therefore, Di Long specially chose today to visit Zhao Yazhi's home.
Zhao Yazhi didn't know what his purpose was, but he knew that if Di Long was fine, he would definitely not come to his house. Talking about real estate was definitely not the real purpose.
The two chatted for a while, and then Zhao Yazhi asked, "Brother Long, you came to my place today, do you need any help from me?"
Di Long didn't expect Zhao Yazhi to be so direct, but he immediately responded: "There is something... I want you to introduce me to Yazhi. I want to cooperate with Mr. Jun."
cooperate?
Zhao Yazhi actually had some speculation in this regard, so it was not too surprising to hear this.
She knew Di Long, and she never wanted to trouble her friends. However, recently, Shaw Brothers movies were getting worse and worse, and Di Long had gradually changed from Hong Kong's number one martial arts star to a second-rate one, and she also knew it.
"Ajun's side..."
Di Long gave her a lot of help when she first entered the industry, and he didn't ask for anything in return, so Zhao Yazhi remembered this favor.
Therefore, Zhao Yazhi just hesitated for a moment and then asked: "In what aspect do you want to cooperate with Arjun? Should you ask Arjun to write a script for Shaw Brothers, or will you join Arjun in his movie?"
"Master Jun and Uncle Six have a good relationship, but he has never been willing to write movie scripts for Shaw Brothers, and I don't want to make it difficult for him." Di Long said: "But if possible... my contract with Shaw Brothers will be up soon. , I hope that as a Shaw Brothers actor, I can work for Shaw Brothers one last time..."
Di Long's words were a little hesitant and contradictory, but Zhao Yazhi clearly grasped his thoughts.
Di Long no longer wants to renew his contract with Shaw Brothers, but he still has deep feelings for Shaw Brothers Films, the company that trained him to become a Southeast Asian superstar, so Di Long hopes that he will be the protagonist of this movie, and then Shaw Brothers and Qilin will Movies are made together.
Logically speaking, he, Di Long, is not a senior executive of Shaw Brothers Movies, he is just a star. How can he be qualified to talk about such a cooperation?
But both Zhao Yazhi and Di Long understand that as long as the movie is written by Yin Jun and takes the lead, then Shaw Brothers Films will definitely come to ask for cooperation.
The crux of the problem now naturally lies with Yin Jun.
Although Zhao Yazhi didn't know why Yin Jun had such a good relationship with Shao Yifu, but she just couldn't get used to Shaw Brothers movies, she certainly understood that there must be a reason why her man did this.
Zhao Yazhi is a smart woman, so she will not take over everything she cannot do.
"Brother Long, if you want to star in Qilin Films' film, Ajun will definitely welcome it... But it involves cooperation between two companies... I'm afraid I can't guarantee it for you." Zhao Yazhi looked at Di with some apologies. Long, "Let's do this. I'll tell Ajun as soon as possible. Whatever the outcome is, I'll give you feedback in a timely manner, okay?"
"good!"
Di Long nodded, "Ya Zhi, I know I'm embarrassing you. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, Brother Long will thank you!"
He was telling the truth. Such a request was too abrupt. It was normal for Yin Jun to refuse.
