Chapter 687 Chapter 686, You have to help me with something

I thought it was over!
Director Liu Weiqiang invited Jiang Feng to star in the sequel of "Infernal Affairs", but Jiang Feng didn't have time, so everyone parted ways amicably.

But what Jiang Feng didn't expect was that the next morning, when he came out of the house for a run, he actually "accidentally" met Liu Weiqiang on the sidewalk of Repulse Bay Road.

Not only did he "accidentally meet" Liu Weiqiang, but he also "accidentally met" the King of Pop Liu, Lin Jianyue from Media Asia Films, and the tall and beautiful Li Jiaxin.

These people are dressed similarly to Jiang Feng.

She wore a sports vest on the upper body, sports shorts on the lower body, and sports shoes on her feet. Well, even the assistant that the beautiful Li brought with her was holding a huge water bottle in his hand.

It seems that people are afraid of sweating too much after exercising for a long time, so they want to replenish water at any time.

Jiang Feng saw them, and they also saw Jiang Feng.

"Hi, Brother Feng, what a coincidence, I didn't expect you to come out for a run as well."

Liu Weiqiang's acting was poor. When he raised his hand to greet Jiang Feng, his eyes were wandering around with guilt.

Ha ha…

Jiang Feng wanted to laugh.

You live in Causeway Bay, and this is Repulse Bay Road, the two places are 8 kilometers apart. You come to my doorstep for a run in the morning and you tell me what a coincidence.

Of course, everyone is a friend, and Jiang Feng did not embarrass director Liu Weiqiang. Instead, he spoke directly while running.

"Boss Lin, Brother Hua, Director Wei Qiang, I have no objection to you shooting a sequel to the movie Infernal Affairs, and I give you my blessing, but I really don't have time to participate."

"Jiang Feng, you are a movie star. Whether you are a director or an actor, you are well-known in the world. Why do you insist on starring in a TV series produced in the mainland?

I think it’s called “Emperor Wu of Han”!

The person who said this was Peter Lam, the boss of Media Asia Films. The movie "Infernal Affairs", which no one was optimistic about, made him earn a lot of money and gained both fame and fortune.

Moreover, as soon as this movie was released, the remake rights were immediately sold to Japan, South Korea, India and the United Kingdom. After all, everyone has seen the power of "The Departed", which was filmed with the help of Hollywood's remake rights.

At present, the global box office of this movie has exceeded 9 million US dollars.

But who could have thought that just when everyone wanted to use the original cast to press on with the success, the lead actor Jiang Feng quit. He wanted to act in a TV series, and this TV series would take half a year to star in.

"Boss Lin, that's right. The TV series I'm going to act in is "The Emperor Wu of Han" directed by Hu Mei. The reason I took on this TV series is mainly because I have seen Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, with my own eyes, and I want to truly reproduce the life of this great emperor in front of the public..."

"Pfft..."

Before Jiang Feng finished speaking, Li Jiaxin laughed out loud.

Similarly, Andy Lau, Peter Lam, Liu Wei Qiang and others also failed in their expression management.

I feel confused, want to laugh, but feel helpless...

As if to say, Brother, do you think we are fools? Even if you want to fool us, you can't do it like this. Have you ever seen Emperor Wu of Han?
If I have seen Emperor Wu of Han, do you believe that I have seen God? !

However, no matter how much we complain, since we are here, we still have to do our business.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Ok?"

"Qinglong is making movies in Hong Kong Island, and the highest salary he has ever received is 2200 million Hong Kong dollars. Now Andy Lau and director Wei Qiang are here. As the boss of Media Asia Film Company and the producer of the movie "Infernal Affairs", I promise you that as long as you take on the sequel to "Infernal Affairs", I will give you a movie salary of 2400 million Hong Kong dollars, and it's an advance payment." Lin Jianyue gritted his teeth and made an offer that Jiang Feng could not refuse.

How outrageous is this offer.

According to statistics from relevant departments, the average housing price in Beijing in 2002 was 4764 yuan per square meter. For example, the average price in Tongzhou was only 1800 yuan per square meter. If Jiang Feng took this salary and went back to Tongzhou, Beijing to buy a house, he could buy a property of 1.4 square meters.

But faced with such temptation, Jiang Feng still chose to refuse.

"Boss Lin, this is not about money."

"I can also help you get some leeway with the crew of the TV series 'Emperor Wu of Han'?"

"It's not the TV crew's business."

"What's that?"

"Didn't I just say that? I have personally seen Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, and I want to recreate his eventful life in a TV series."

wipe…

Lin Jianyue, Liu Weiqiang and King Liu cursed in their hearts at the same time, and there was no way they could talk about this matter anymore.

In Hong Kong Island, there are several well-known areas where wealthy people live, such as the Peak loved by Stephen Chow, Deep Water Bay Road loved by Li Chaoren and his son, and Repulse Bay Road at the feet of the Ho, Pao and Fok families.

Without exception, these places have excellent feng shui and beautiful environments. When you play here, you can even feel that the air is sweet.

The rich have money and they also pay great attention to the environment around their homes, like building roads, repairing mountain trails, and building pavilions on the mountains for pedestrians to rest.

Near Villa No. 2, Repulse Bay Road, there is a small path leading up the mountain. The path is made of stones. Not far up there is a pavilion. Although the pavilion hidden in the woods is not big, it has a beautiful environment.

As long as he lived in Hong Kong Island, Jiang Feng would always use this pavilion as his resting place whenever he went out for a morning run. He would come here for a morning run and do some boxing in the pavilion, and he would feel extremely happy.

Today, five people went jogging and chose this pavilion as their resting place.

However, the pavilion had changed its appearance at this time. Usually no one came here in the early morning, but today, there were two people who looked like chefs. At this moment, they were making a fire and cooking in the pavilion.

"Jiang Feng, Director Wei Qiang, and Hua Zai, these two are the chefs in my family. They have been serving my family since my father started to expand his business. It has been 30 years now.

Today, I arranged for them to wait for us here, just to let you taste what authentic cart noodles taste like? "

Look, invisible pretense is the most deadly.

We already had a family cook 30 years ago, and we had two of them.

what is this?
This is the foundation of a wealthy family!
King Andy Lau, Stephen Chow and Li Jiaxin were all very happy. They didn't expect that the pot-bellied Peter Lam could have such a considerate side. Everyone was tired from running, so they sat down to rest for a while and had some steaming cart noodles.

Jiang Feng was a little unhappy.

This disrupted my morning exercise rhythm. According to my previous habit, I should run here, do a few rounds of boxing, and then run back for breakfast.

But there was no other way. Since Boss Lin was so hospitable, Jiang Feng had no choice but to accept his kindness reluctantly.

The two chefs from the Lin family not only brought delicious cart noodles, but also brought wash basins and warm water. Jiang Feng followed Li Jiaxin to wash his hands and sat in the pavilion.

The cart noodles were still being cooked, and because they tasted better now, the five people who had just sat in the pavilion started chatting while waiting for their meals.

We didn’t talk about Infernal Affairs anymore.

They didn't even talk about movies, it was just Lin Jianyue, Liu Weiqiang, King Liu and Jiang Feng chatting about stocks.

When the mainland website NetEase was at its worst, its stock price in the U.S. was only 0.5 U.S. dollars, but now it has risen to 45 U.S. dollars. Jiang Feng, you have a good vision. You bought it for 800 million U.S. dollars at that time, and now it is worth 7 million U.S. dollars.

In response, Jiang Feng just smiled.

These are all paper values, with no real meaning, and I can't throw them away now. There is an old saying in China that money is yours only when it is in your pocket!
After chatting for about 5 minutes, the delicious cart noodles were ready.

Cart noodles first appeared in the 50s, when the living standards of Hong Kong residents were relatively low. Mobile vendors emerged on the streets of Hong Kong Island, most of whom set up cart noodle stalls to sell cooked food such as curry fish balls and cart noodles.

The wooden cart used to sell cart noodles is equipped with a metal "cooking box" which contains soup, noodles and side dishes. The side dishes usually include fish balls, beef balls, pork skin, pork blood, radish and other affordable dishes.

Customers can freely choose the ingredients for their noodles, and usually they can have a full meal for just over ten yuan.

Of course, the Lin family is a multi-billionaire family, and their cart noodles are different from those on the market. At least the ingredients are very noble and rich, including beef brisket, prawns, and something that looks like sea cucumber in the soup.

After taking a small sip, the delicious flavor immediately hit Jiang Feng's taste buds.

When Jiang Feng looked up and was about to say "delicious", he saw Lin Jianyue, Liu Weiqiang, Li Jiaxin and King Liu who had recently announced that he wanted to be a vegetarian were already busy eating.

...

After having breakfast in the pavilion and coming down the hill, it was already 7:30.

Lin Jianyue, Liu Weiqiang and King Liu were all picked up by cars. On the roadside in Repulse Bay, they got in the car, waved goodbye, and left.

After eating, he definitely couldn’t run anymore, so Jiang Feng had to walk back.

It's actually quite nice to stroll around and enjoy the scenery along the way.

It's just a little annoying.

Li Jiaxin was actually following beside him.

"Aren't you going back? I see your kettle assistant has already left in the car."

"My mission hasn't started yet, so I can't go back."

To be honest, Li Jiaxin looks a little sexy today, wearing red sneakers, red sports pants, and a red tight vest.

Even though the rabbits were not too big, they still looked plump against the tight vest, and looked very pleasing from the side.

"What is your mission?"

Jiang Feng smiled and walked forward with his long legs.

Li Jiaxin hurriedly followed.

"Last night, when I was about to go to bed, I received a call from the middleman, saying that Boss Lin wanted to invite you to star in the sequel of his movie Infernal Affairs, but you were arrogant and didn't want to accept.

So Boss Lin issued a bounty, saying that if anyone could persuade you to star in the sequel of "Infernal Affairs", he would reward that person with 50 Hong Kong dollars.

Well..., the first person the middleman found was Liu Jialing. Liu Jialing said, you are a donkey. You won’t move forward even if you lead you, and you will move backward even if you hit you. Except for yourself, no one else can convince you, not even your girlfriend Wang Fei.

The second person I found was Guan Yulin. Guan Yulin was a little arrogant. She said she was currently trading futures and could make a million dollars a day when things were going well. "I don't have time to play with you guys."

"So you took it?" Jiang Feng asked with a smile.

Hong Kong is a highly developed capitalist society where money can solve any problem. Otherwise, there would not be many terms such as bounty, bonus, thank-you money, etc. that are not often seen in the mainland appearing frequently in Hong Kong media.

In addition, there are often reports in the Hong Kong media that a certain wealthy man gave a certain female star a luxury house and a luxury car. In fact, these luxury houses and luxury cars are not a testimony of their love, nor are they gifts given to the female star only after the two have a substantial relationship.

Instead, the actress helped the rich man sign a contract at some business event and facilitated some business, and then the rich man paid the actress a thank-you fee.

Regarding this point, it was said by Guan Xiulin herself, and Wang Fei, Wang Zuxian and Liu Jialing have all confirmed it.

In fact, it’s right to think about it.

It is true that the rich have a lot of money, but they are not stupid. How could they give away a mansion worth tens of millions just because two people spent one night together?

Like now, Lin Jianyue issued a bounty through an intermediary. Whoever can persuade Jiang Feng to star in "Infernal Affairs" will be given 50 Hong Kong dollars in cash.

Jiang Feng was just thinking about it when Li Jiaxin smiled brightly and spoke.

"Yes, I'm short of money now, and since I know you, I came over to give it a try."

"Haha..." Jiang Feng laughed.

"So, how are you going to try?"

"Um…"

Li Jiaxin was silent for a long time before she turned around and looked at Jiang Feng.

"I will go home with you now. From now until tomorrow morning, you can do whatever you want as long as you sign the contract for the sequel to Infernal Affairs when you take the plane to Seoul, South Korea tomorrow morning."

"Are you so short of money?"

After Li Jiaxin finished speaking, Jiang Feng asked an irrelevant question.

"Then what should I say?
Compared with ordinary people, I live a good life. I have money, a house and a car. No matter where I go, there are still some bad men shouting: Li Jiaxin, I love you!

But if we want my sister, my mother and I to live the life we ​​aspire to, it’s still a long way off.” Because they had met several times before, Li Jiaxin is now much more honest in front of Jiang Feng.

Basically, I say whatever I think and I'm not afraid of losing face.

"Ms. Li..."

As they walked and talked, the two soon arrived near Villa No. 89 Repulse Bay Road. Seeing that they were almost home, Jiang Feng stopped at the side of the road. There was a red BMW X5 on the side of the road. It was obvious that this car was driven by Li Jiaxin.

Because when she was running, she was the only one without a driver to follow her, and now Li Jiaxin also drove away the assistant who was holding the water bottle.

"Ms. Li, I keep my word. Regarding the sequel to the movie Infernal Affairs, I have no chance of taking part in it.

However, since you have said so much, I have to help you. Well, how about this?

I recommend you to Samsung Electronics of South Korea to be their mobile phone spokesperson. Anyway, the spokesperson for Samsung mobile phones in Greater China is going to be changed.

If you can really become their image spokesperson, I can’t say how much the endorsement fee will be, but it will be around two to three million Hong Kong dollars a year.”

"Really?"

Li Jiaxin was happy.

This time, I came here to make some money. 50 a day, and I can play with a handsome guy like Jiang Feng. It’s worth it anyway.

But I didn't expect that Jiang Feng was so awesome that he could recommend himself to Samsung as its spokesperson, although it was only for the Greater China region, but this kind of endorsement was not something he could get with his status.

"Of course it's true."

"Then why don't you recommend your girlfriends to Samsung?" Although Li Jiaxin is beautiful, she is not a brainless beauty. She was just happy for a moment and immediately raised the question.

Like Guan Yulin, Wang Zuxian, Wang Fei, Yu Feihong, Liu Jialing, etc., each of them is more famous than Jiang Feng in the entertainment industry. When something good happens, why doesn't Jiang Feng take care of them? !
"Well, it's very simple." Jiang Feng smiled.

"When my movie The Yellow Sea is released, as the spokesperson for Samsung mobile phones, you have to help me do something!"
