1982 Started from Hong Kong

Chapter 163: Good Luck in Gambling
July 1984, 1 in the Gregorian calendar.

A cash van parked outside the Bank of East Asia branch in Central, transporting 1.4 million yen in banknotes, worth about 470 million Hong Kong dollars, was robbed at gunpoint by four gangsters.

Amid the sound of gunfire between the police and the criminals.

The city of Hong Kong ushered in the New Year's Eve of the lunar new year.

Twelve years have passed.

Zhai Yuan doesn't miss it.

Fortunately, I spent New Year’s Eve at home this year.

There was no bloody disaster.

Zhai Yuan was extremely busy this year, but his results were only mediocre.

I worked in the Political Department, experienced a financial crisis, and made two movies.

The newspaper said that his net worth skyrocketed by billions thanks to the movie "The Man from Earth".

But only those who are poor know.

During the Spring Festival, Zhai Yuan did some calculations at home.

"A Better Tomorrow" grossed HK$1024 million in local box office, of which HK$ million came from Cinemas and the four leading cinemas of the Zhao family.

The 12 theaters in the ZuoBian Cinema Chain and the Western Cinema Chain only earned a total of million in box office revenue during the Lunar New Year holiday.

After the box office was diluted, it is still not as good as Li Hanxiang's "The Burning of the Summer Palace" and "The Last Emperor".

After deducting production costs, various commissions and taxes from the box office of 18 million, there is basically not much left.

Especially the war tax for the Falklands War, which was deducted inexplicably.

"I don't see you guys guarding Hong Kong going to war with Argentina, but you've got to take all the money from Hong Kong people. You don't even care about your dignity anymore."

The TV news was still reporting on the Bank of East Asia robbery.

The five gangsters abandoned the money and ran away after committing the crime on New Year's Eve. However, they were found by the police on the fourth day of the New Year. The two sides exchanged more than 60 rounds of gunfire and the robbers were finally caught.

The influence of the Big Circle Gang in Hong Kong is growing.

"Turn off the TV and eat!"

Zhao Meizhen's urging voice rang out.

The dining table was filled with leftovers from New Year's Eve.

Zhai Yao came over to take a look, with a look of disgust on her face: "I want to order takeout."

As he was about to grab the phone to order food, Zhao Meizhen grabbed his ear and pushed him down in front of the table.

"I think you look like a takeaway, sit down!"

"Mom, this dish has been left for a few days and is not fresh anymore."

"Nonsense, I just took it out of the refrigerator, how can it not be fresh? You've had a few full meals and you're being picky. Didn't school teach you not to be picky about food and to cherish food?"

The mother and daughter were arguing fiercely.

Zhai Yuan stretched his neck to take a look at the leftovers on the table. It was quite rich, but he was indeed tired of eating it.

I was thinking about how to politely say that I was not hungry.

The phone at hand suddenly rang.

"Hey, hey! It's me, it's me, okay, I'll come out now."

Zhai Yuan answered the phone immediately. Without even hearing the voice on the other end, he stood up and walked out.

He turned around with a worried look on his face and said to Zhao Meizhen, "Mom, there is something urgent at the company. I have to go out for a while. You guys eat first."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Meizhen said yes repeatedly, fearing that he would delay his work. Her attitude was completely different from when she treated Zhai Yao.

Zhai Yao looked at Zhai Yuan's back as he left, then looked at the food on the table that didn't suit her taste, and sighed with regret: "It's good to be rich..."

The door is closed.

Zhai Yuan stood in the corridor and asked again, "What's the matter, Mrs. Xu?"

The person on the other end of the phone was Xu Jiaqiang’s wife Chen Lan.

"Your aunt is very strict with you, Boss Zhai." Chen Lan laughed and teased after hearing the conversation between him and Zhao Meizhen.

"Yes, thank you for saving me from suffering." Zhai Yuan replied with a smile and said no more.

Chen Lan's voice was still very sweet, and she exchanged a few simple greetings, nothing more than wishing everyone a happy new year.

Finally, she smiled and said, "Boss Zhai, would it be convenient for us to meet and chat for a while?"

"Okay."

Zhai Yuan knew that this woman came for her Sanhe Film Studio.

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Lan immediately said, "My husband Xu Jiaqiang and I are downstairs at Jiuyi Entertainment right now. How long will it take, Boss Zhai?"

Zhai Yuan was stunned for a moment, thinking that the couple was quite sincere. They couldn't help but visit them before the Spring Festival was over. It seemed that the box office champion "A Better Tomorrow" was indeed of high quality.

…………

Half an hour later, in the conference room of Jiuyi Entertainment.

Zhai Yuan saw Xu Jiaqiang and Chen Lan, a couple, sitting on the sofa and talking in low voices through the glass door.

When she was young, Chen Lan was also the top dancer in Taiwan. She looked bright and beautiful when she dressed up carefully.

It would be a bit embarrassing to say that Xu Jiaqiang was handsome when he was young, as he looked quite young.

"Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xu."

"Boss Zhai."

Zhai Yuan pushed the door open and walked in. The couple immediately stood up to greet them.

Since Xu Jiaqiang and Zhai Yuan last parted at the Academy Awards ceremony, they have basically lost contact, and it was all up to his wife to act as a go-between.

When we met again this time, the gap in my heart was even greater than before.

This handsome teenage boy in front of me has only been in the film industry for two years, but his career has been more brilliant than my own in more than ten years.

Even though his twelfth brother, who had run away, had established Yongsheng Film Company in Taiwan early on with the help of the Xu family's background, it was still not on the same level as the current Jiuyi Entertainment.

It started out as a business of second-run video halls and third-level films, and in just over a year it grew to the point of forming a cinema chain, and even won the box office championship. This speed is faster than riding a rocket.

"Boss Zhai, this is the business license of our Sanhe Film Studio."

After chatting for a while and congratulating "A Better Tomorrow" on its outstanding performance, Chen Lan poked Xu Jiaqiang, who then reacted and handed the materials he had prepared in advance to Zhai Yuan.

The name of the studio is Sanhe, which is said to be derived from the harmony of heaven, earth and man.

As for whether it had any triad implications, Zhai Yuan didn't care.

He briefly looked through the relevant documents of Sanhe Film Studio and found that the registered address was actually in an office building on Jordan Valley North Road, Ngau Tau Kok.

It is not far from the office of Jiuyi Entertainment.

He smiled and looked up and asked, "Not bad, what are your plans next?"

"Well, I plan to..."

Just as Xu Jiaqiang was about to speak, Chen Lan gently patted the back of his hand.

The woman smiled and looked at Zhai Yuan: "We just came to Hong Kong and don't know the situation here. Why don't you give us some advice, Mr. Zhai?"

"Okay." Zhai Yuan smiled and said, "I have plans with United, Columbia, Far East, and B&Q to discuss the release of A Better Tomorrow later. So I won't hide anything and will just say whatever I want to say."

The four companies he mentioned are Universal, Paramount, Columbia, MGM, and Disney... These overseas film companies have set up joint offices in Hong Kong.

At that time, overseas film companies followed the "Film Law" of their respective countries, and the number of imported films each year was limited. Such institutions were required to search for high-quality films for local distribution to avoid wasting quotas.

The annual local box office champions in Hong Kong and Taiwan are undoubtedly the most popular and can be bought almost with your eyes closed.

It is also one of the few means for Hong Kong film companies to establish relationships with overseas theaters every year.

As for whether it can make a comeback and get a share of the foreign market, it does not only depend on local performance, the subject matter is equally important.

For example, New One City's "Best Partner" series, or several of Stephen Chow's later movies that won championships in the local market, all received mediocre responses in foreign markets.

The gap between comedy films and action films is thus revealed.

But no matter what, winning the box office championship means a guaranteed ticket to enter foreign markets this year.

Chen Lan knew that he mentioned these four film companies for no reason because he was going to ask for a huge sum of money. She kept smiling but sat up straight unconsciously.

She gathered her courage and said, "It doesn't matter, Boss Zhai, just go ahead and tell me."

Zhai Yuan hummed and said bluntly: "I see that the registration cost of Sanhe Film Studio is 60 Hong Kong dollars. I will invest another sum of money and take % of your shares."

Xu Jiaqiang and Chen Lan held each other's hands with a little force, but neither of them spoke, waiting for what he was to say next.

"After Sanhe is established, priority must be given to filming the scripts provided by Jiuyi. The selection of directors and actors must be approved by me. I have the final say on what can and cannot be filmed..."

The next period of time was basically a matter of bargaining between the two sides.

Eventually reach a result acceptable to both parties.

In terms of equity distribution, Jiuyi Entertainment accounts for 51% and Sanhe accounts for 49%.

For films produced by Sanhe, half of the production costs are borne by Jiuyi. After the film is released, it will be shown in 1024 theaters and only a 40% share will be taken. Jiuyi will provide support for overseas distribution and promotion to reduce the impact of the ban in Taiwan.

These are the main conditions for negotiation between the two parties, and the others are just miscellaneous clauses.

This kind of business model is very common in Golden Harvest or Silver Princess. For example, the initial equity distribution of New One City, a subsidiary of Silver Princess, was that Silver Princess held 51% of the shares, and Mecca held the remaining 49%. The two veterans, Huang Baiming and Shi Tian, were purely employees.

Later, the company was restructured and the equity was changed. Huang Baiming and Shi Tiancai held 9% and 19% of the shares respectively in their personal names, and the remaining shares were jointly held by Silver Princess and Mecca.

No matter how things change, Princess Silver has the controlling stake in Cinema City and is the major shareholder who can dominate the company's decision-making and operations.

Just like what 91 Entertainment is to Sanhe Film Studio at this moment.

Xu Jiaqiang and Chen Lan are of one mind, so it is impossible for these equity changes to happen.

But without Zhai Yuan, they really wouldn't be able to survive in the film industry.

The main reason is that after the Yiqing case, the ban on Taiwan’s films had too much of an impact.

Moreover, even if a company funded by a community family is engaged in independent production, people in the industry dare not come to help.

Although Zhai Yuan was also banned, his Jiuyi is now in its heyday, and has regained some of the momentum that Xinyicheng had when it single-handedly fought against the two major companies, Zhaoshi and Jiahe. He is not worried about these small problems at all.

Just after the end of this year, the number of resumes submitted to Jiuyi Entertainment increased compared to the previous year.

Zhai Yuan's recruitment of troops and investment in Sanhe Film Studio was only the first step in his expedition.

“A pleasure to work with~”

With lawyers from both sides present, Zhai Yuan and the Xu couple performed a simple notarization.

In addition to the Jiuyi, there is now a Sanhe under the 1024 cinema chain.

"I know that Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu joined my company to bet on me to win."

Before leaving, Zhai Yuan took out a script from a pile of script papers in the office.

Handing the script to the couple, Zhai Yuan smiled and said, "So I prepared a script for Sanhe. The name of this movie is "God of Gamblers". It may be the first movie of your studio. I wish you good luck in gambling."

…………

Mid-February, Valentine's Day.

There is another day, which is Zhai Yuan’s birthday.

"It's so fast."

At this time last year, he could only lie on the hospital bed, staring at Zhou Haimei and Deng Leling but unable to eat.

This year the duo has come into their own.

Zhai Yuan was not very interested in birthday parties. Such things were nothing more than a group of people getting together for a meal. Maybe people didn't want to come, but they just pretended to be enthusiastic for their own sake or for the sake of money.

When I was a small fry, no one except my family would remember these miserable days.

However, if you have a little bit of success, many people will circle your birthday on the almanac and add a note.

"No free meal today, red envelopes will be given after work starts after the New Year, so go away!"

Chan Ka Lok and Leung Chi Chiu lived nearby and were the first visitors to Bili Garden, bringing cakes and gifts.

The two refused to leave, and Liang Zhichao even squeezed into the room under the pretext of helping Zhai Yao with her homework, and sat down on the sofa.

Then came the second group of people from the film industry, from the director to the actors of A Better Tomorrow. "Boss, happy new year and happy birthday."

Wu Yusen, Di Long, Wan Ziliang and Zhang Guorong came in one after another, followed by a Japanese girl, Nishixie Michiko.

When Zhai Yao saw Zhang Guorong, she screamed with excitement and came up to him like a crazy fan, which made Zhai Yuan shake his head.

Give up, sister, you have no chance.

Secret Garden sent a representative, voice actor He Jinhua.

As soon as He Jinhua entered the door, he greeted Zhai Yuan on behalf of all the employees.

Then she changed the subject and asked in a sweet voice, "Boss, the sisters in the company asked me to ask you. You have been talking about it for a year. When will you raise their salaries? Many of them stayed in the company to work during the Chinese New Year. It was very hard."

"Increase, increase, increase! I was too busy last year to put it on the agenda, but after the new year, everyone's bonuses, commissions, and base salaries will all double."

"Okay, I'll tell everyone the good news now, so they don't have to ask you for sex every day."

Zhai Yuan didn't dare to offend the women in Secret Garden, not only because she was his current biggest source of cash flow, but also because he couldn't afford to offend those gossipy women.

Peng Jiayan didn't come this year, but she called to say hello and her voice still sounded optimistic.

"Zhai Yuan, guess where I am now?"

"What? Are you going to America?"

"How do you know? I just finished visiting the Hollywood studios and am now back at the hotel to rest. Let me tell you, I learned a lot of new things this time. When you return to Hong Kong, come up with a better script and we can work together to make a movie that is more popular than A Better Tomorrow. Let's make it bigger and stronger and create more glory!"

"Okay, take a rest."

Zhai Yuan joked with her for a while, and suddenly thought of something, so he stopped Peng Jiayan who was about to hang up the phone and said, "If you are not in a hurry to come back, I will send you a copy of the tape of A Better Tomorrow, and ask you to ask the distribution company over there for me."

"Wow! You're really stealing the show."

Peng Jiayan said with a smile: "Okay, I'll give you an address, but I'm not familiar with this place, so don't hold your hopes too high."

Not long after, Zhou Haimei also jumped and rushed into Zhai Yuan's house.

I was shocked when I walked in and saw a bunch of people in the room.

Zhai Yuan introduced her to everyone again. Although he only called her his cousin, their ambiguous behavior caught everyone's eyes and everyone still called her "Auntie".

Zhou Haimei has been bullied by Zhai Yuan a lot recently. There is now a hint of charm in her immature eyes and eyebrows. It is the time of deep love. Whenever she has the chance, she will run to Biliyuan and stick to Zhai Yuan like a piece of taffy.

Deng Leling didn't come, but she called Zhai Yuan and said, "Happy birthday~"

Zhai Yuan took the phone and walked away a few steps, smiling, "I'll go to Kowloon Tong to see you tonight."

Deng Leling said: "Okay, I have a gift for you too."

The way they get along is now relatively simple. Deng Leling wanted to hook up with Zhai Yuan and keep him by her side at the beginning, but seeing that Zhai Yuan was climbing higher and higher, that little thought had long since disappeared.

I also received a series of congratulatory calls from well-known directors and stars in the film industry. After wishing him a happy birthday, they couldn't help but mention the achievements of "A Better Tomorrow" and somewhat revealed their desire to work together in the future.

Vanity Fair, why were all of you so silent when I was banned last year?

"Boss, let's have a chat."

This birthday party was a family dinner. Zhao Meizhen didn't expect so many people to come in a hurry, so it would definitely be too late to cook. So she ordered takeout from the restaurant downstairs.

A group of shoe shiners also went into the kitchen and pretended to show off their cooking skills.

The cake-cutting and embarrassing birthday song process were indispensable. Amid the jeers of the crowd, Zhai Yuan gritted his teeth and blew out the candles.

"Yuanzi, you are 19 years old now, you should be more sensible~"

Zhang Guorong's nonchalant teasing caused a burst of laughter.

Zhai Yuan rolled his eyes, thinking that he was usually not serious enough. If I were to transform into Zhao Yifu or Zou Wenhuai, who among you would dare to laugh?

The food tastes delicious.

One after another, people stood up and said goodbye.

"Boss, can we have a chat?"

Wu Yusen opened his mouth at the right moment, acting as if he was about to discuss serious matters.

"It just so happens that I have something to tell you, let's go into the study and talk."

Zhai Yuan led Wu Yusen into the room, and they both sat down. He lit a cigarette, leaned back in his chair, and raised his eyebrows at Wu Yusen.

"It's like this. After the company became famous recently, many friends in the film industry came to me and hoped to join Jiuyi to work."

Wu Yusen paused, then smiled and said, "There are also bosses in the film industry who have approached me and want me to come over and help them make films."

When Zhai Yuan heard his second sentence, he asked curiously, "Jia He or Princess Yin?"

Wu Yusen said, "Princess Yin. Lei Juekun asked Xu Ke to be his lobbyist and wanted me to help New One City film the sequel to A Better Tomorrow."

Zhai Yuan was surprised and asked, "Old Deng... is the old man's illness cured?"

Wu Yusen said: "He is no longer in danger of death and is still in the hospital for observation."

Zhai Yuan sighed with regret and smiled: "Why would I let you make a sequel to A Better Tomorrow? Aren't you afraid that I will sue them for copyright infringement?"

Wu Yusen said: "It doesn't matter. When the time comes, the director can use my name, invite the original crew, and produce it with New One City. The movie can be renamed "New A Better Tomorrow" or "A Better Tomorrow: The End of Color"."

"Oh, so that's how you play."

Zhai Yuan nodded as if he had been taught a lesson, and said to him with a smile: "Then why don't you go quickly? If they are willing to poach you, they must have offered a very high price."

Wu Yusen smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, please stop teasing me. Let me use a popular line nowadays: 'I have my own principles.'"

This is a line from Mark Siu, and it is also a dialogue that has become popular in Hong Kong recently.

Of course, Wu Yusen would not be poached easily. Not to mention that he still had a contract with Jiuyi, he also learned about the current filming style of New One City from his old friend Xu Ke.

Even in "The Queen's Secret Order" directed by Xu Ke, the director is just a name, and the content is still a big patchwork under the collective creation system.

Moreover, the biggest problem of New One City is that it only shoots comedies, which is obviously seriously at odds with Wu Yusen's radical style. It goes without saying that "A Better Tomorrow" will flop if it is shot as a comedy.

Zhai Yuan smiled and said, "You are unwilling to change jobs and you are still dawdling here. Do you want me to raise your salary?"

Wu Yusen rubbed his hands and smiled, "It would be best if it could go up."

"Next time, next time for sure."

Zhai Yuan made another promise, then diverted his attention and continued, "Also, I have finished the script for the second part of A Better Tomorrow. I will give it to you when I return to the company tomorrow. You can start filming anytime."

This topic really attracted Wu Yusen. He didn't even wait until tomorrow to read the script and directly asked Zhai Yuan about the direction of the plot.

Zhai Yuan told him the general outline of the story.

"After Tan Cheng's criminal group was destroyed, a new batch of US dollars flowed into the market, and the counterfeiting technology was even better than before. The police re-employed the two brothers Song Zijie and Song Zihao. Through investigation, they found that a counterfeit artist named Li Wen was arrested in Thailand. A series of counterfeit cases and murders were related to him. The police then extradited Li Wen back to Hong Kong, and the case was handed over to Song Zijie for trial."

"Song Zijie learned from Li Wen that there was a mastermind named 'Painter' behind the scenes. From the portrait he provided, it turned out that this 'Painter' looked exactly like the deceased Xiao Ma Ge. In order to find out the truth of the case, Song Zijie and Li Wen reached an agreement. As long as Li Wen revealed the identity and criminal history of the painter, he could enter the witness protection program and be released. So, with Li Wen's narration, the whole story began to unfold to the audience..."

That’s right, the script that Zhai Yuan told Wu Yusen was derived from a well-known film called “Wushuang” in later generations.

In terms of plot, this movie imitated the 1995 film "The Usual Suspects", absorbing the narrative framework of its predecessor with twists and turns, adding some of its own original counterfeit money plots, as well as the sentimental blessing of "A Better Tomorrow", making this culmination of a film achieve quite good results in later generations.

Zhai Yuan is now more straightforward in integrating the characters of "A Better Tomorrow" into "Wushuang", turning it into a truly orthodox sequel.

Not only did he want to snatch up these two films in the 1980s, he also planned to take advantage of the masterpiece "The Usual Suspects", determined to kill two birds with one stone.

More than ten minutes later, Zhai Yuan expressed the whole story as clearly as possible.

Because he wanted to ride on the popularity of "A Better Tomorrow" and force the show into his role, the relationships between the characters became a bit confusing, and he himself was confused a few times.

After explaining the plot, Zhai Yuan thought to himself that this script still needed to be polished.

Wu Yusen was confused after hearing this. He was stunned for a long time before saying, "Boss, this story doesn't seem to have much to do with the previous work?"

"It doesn't matter."

Zhai Yuan answered as a matter of course.

There are three parts in total of "A Better Tomorrow". In the later generations of this series, the quality of each sequel has been visibly declining. In the second part, Zhai Yuan could still remember Xiao Ma Ge's brother A Ken, but after Xu Qi took over as the director of the third part, he could no longer remember what the story was about.

This is also the fate that most sequels cannot escape.

The market response to a movie is unknown before it is planned to be shot, but once the movie becomes a hit, the big bosses will of course ask the director to shoot a sequel driven by profit, so all kinds of far-fetched logical lines and thin story content appear.

Knowing that copying the original film would result in a decline in both film quality and box office, Zhai Yuan of course had to make some changes.

Thus, "A Better Tomorrow" was born in this context.

Wu Yusen rubbed his shiny forehead, not knowing what to say.

He said, "Boss, your story is actually quite attractive, but it feels weird to put it in the shell of A Better Tomorrow."

Zhai Yuan said: "It doesn't matter. It's just that the company is in the early stages of development and needs to take advantage of the fame of the previous film. If the box office performance is good, we can cut out the content related to the previous film and reshoot it when it is released overseas in the future. Isn't your old friend Xu Kui's "New Shushan Swordsman" like this?"

When Xu Ke's "New Shushan Swordsman" was released overseas, he was worried that foreigners would not understand it, so he specially added a long plot that involved traveling back to ancient times from modern times.

"Okay, I'll tell you tomorrow after I've read the full script."

Wu Yusen nodded after careful consideration, and then stopped thinking about it for the time being. He said to Zhai Yuan, "Since we are talking about Xu Qi, I also want to report to you, the boss. He was sent by Lei Juekun to persuade me to join New One City."

Zhai Yuan nodded in surprise and said, "Yes, you just talked about this issue."

Wu Yusen smiled and continued, "But he also told me that he didn't want to stay in Xinyi City anymore. He didn't have the face to go there after paying Jiahe tens of millions. I wonder if there is a place for him in Jiuyi?"

Zhai Yuan was stunned for a moment and frowned: "Of course there is a place, you are welcome at any time. But don't worry, I need to think about it."

What was he thinking about? Of course, he was thinking about making a movie for Xu Qi. Otherwise, if he was allowed to mess around, he would definitely not be able to support this living father with his wealth.

…………

That night, Zhai Yuan came to Kowloon Tong, wanting to see what gift Deng Leling had prepared for him.

"I've been waiting for you for so long that the food is cold. I'll take it to the kitchen to heat it up. You can eat with me later."

Deng Leling prepared some home-cooked dishes. Fortunately, there was no cake, as the cream was a bit greasy today.

The two of them sat on the balcony. She opened a bottle of red wine, which was rare for her, and had a drink with Zhai Yuan, her face flushed.

"Now you can tell me, what's the gift?"

After having a good meal and a good drink, Zhai Yuan stretched out his hand and Deng Leling crawled over the tablecloth on the ground and leaned into his arms.

"Go take a shower first, and I'll tell you then."

"Just finished eating, take a break."

"it is good."

Deng Leling snuggled in his arms and stopped talking. She watched Zhai Yuan light a Hong Wan cigarette, her eyes wandering as she looked out the window.

On his way to Kowloon Tong, Cai Lan called him.

I told Zhai Yuan on the phone that Zhao's film had already been scheduled for screening in theaters in Southeast Asia, and the screening date was set for tomorrow, February 2th.

Foreign cinema chains do not have to pay taxes to the Hong Kong government on their profits, so even if Zhao's family takes away a share of the cinema chains and publicity and promotion, Zhai Yuan can still get 30% to 40% of the profits.

This is also because he can bargain after his company becomes bigger. Otherwise, if it is a low-cost movie produced by a small company, it will not get such a high share.

Zhao Yi-fu also assured him that the screening schedule of "A Better Tomorrow" in Southeast Asian theaters would be based on the 40% blockbuster standard, and if the market effect is good, the screening volume can be further increased.

This is the treatment that only top works can enjoy. Usually, the screening schedule of a movie only fluctuates by about 20%.

Later, there was a movie called "I Am Not Madame Bovary". Because the theater only gave it 10% of the screening time, the director blasted the theater, but it was of no use in the end.

Channels are king, and this has been the case since the birth of theaters.

Once the scheduling in Southeast Asia is settled, we can talk to Japan and South Korea, and then North America, and make some US dollars.

Zhai Yuan was thinking about how to squeeze out the last commercial value of "A Better Tomorrow".

Then he was pushed into the bathroom by Deng Leling.

In the bathroom, Zhai Yuan dragged her in, pushed her against the wall and asked her what the mysterious gift was.

Deng Leling glared at her and said, "Close your eyes first."

Zhai Yuan closed his eyes: "Okay~"

I felt a layer of foam on my body, and then I felt an equally smooth and soft body rubbing against me.

Bubble bath?
Zhai Yuan narrowed his eyes and saw Deng Leling holding the shower head to help him rinse off the foam. His face was troubled for a few seconds, he pushed his hair back, and slowly squatted down.
