Huayu 1995

Chapter 242 Why are you washing my feet?! (Seeking monthly votes)

Su Chao was very proud that he had brought Lin Zhimeng to be the producer.

This decision gave him and Lin Zhimeng many opportunities to be alone together.

After returning, he was mostly sober. Su Chao went to Lin Zhimeng's room, and they went out for dinner together that evening.

They called it a discussion about work.

He did indeed discuss work, talking about production and distribution.

Lin Zhimeng was initially worried that he would take advantage of her.

In fact, Su Chao's eyes remained pure and innocent from beginning to end.

This surprised her greatly.

"Where did the principal and Miss Lin go today?"

Dao Ye was very curious.

He and the monk were bodyguards, but they were actually idle most of the time.

What are they supposed to do for 600 yuan a month?

"I went to meet your parents."

Lu Bu is still debating whether to get an endorsement deal in Hong Kong.

Su Chao gained popularity in Hong Kong, which attracted many invitations for commercial performances and endorsements.

However, most of them are rather outrageous.

For example, performing at nightclubs and endorsing aphrodisiacs...

In particular, he is seeking endorsements for aphrodisiac drugs. Several brands are looking for him, and the endorsement fees they are offering are astonishing. One brand even offered a million dollars.

The giant cannon is no joke.

This kind of endorsement is definitely not acceptable; Su Chao is a respectable person, after all.

Commercial performances in Hong Kong are generally more expensive than those in mainland China.

However, the area is small and opportunities are limited. Endorsements are hard to come by, as it often requires entertaining guests with drinks and entertainment. Therefore, big-name celebrities simply don't do commercial performances.

Neither is as good as directly accompanying rich women and men.

"Oh my, our principal's wife is really stunning. The principal is so lucky."

The fake Taoist priest offered a flattering remark.

"Teacher Lin is indeed a good teacher, but don't look at him carelessly. The principal is very petty and likes to take revenge. He might challenge you to a match one day. He's ruthless and might kick you in the groin."

Lu Bu gave a warning.

He had no competitive relationship with the monks or Taoist priests.

In fact, the three of them get along exceptionally well; they're practically brothers.

We've already agreed to go get a foot massage together sometime.

To stand out in public, you must get a back massage with essential oils!
After visiting this foot massage parlor, the future of the three brothers became immeasurable.

"Um, does our principal usually get into fights?"

The Taoist priest simply couldn't imagine it.

"Go ahead and hit him. He punched someone, then complained that the person had bruised his little finger and demanded compensation for his medicine. When the person didn't have the money, he stole the copy of 'Jin Ping Mei' from them..."

Lu Bu gave a random example.

It's basically a combination of several cases.

"grass!"

The fake Taoist priest was stunned.

"We've boarded the pirate ship."

The monk also sighed, saying that he had thought he had married into a good family.

It turned out he was a treacherous villain.

"You thief ship, do you even know how much money our principal donated?"

Lu Bu rolled his eyes at them.

"The news didn't mention a specific number, is it ten thousand?"

The fake Taoist priest and the monk became curious.

Outsiders have no way of knowing about this, but logically speaking, there certainly won't be many.

But ten thousand is still money.

If anyone thinks 10,000 isn't much, then donate 100,000 and see.

"Four hundred and seventy thousand, do you call him a traitor?"

Lu Bu chuckled.

"He is Buddha!"

The monk was filled with awe. Only those who have experienced life truly understand how difficult it is to earn 470,000 yuan.

These days, 4,700 is not a small amount of money.

The monk's mother had surgery a few years ago, which cost five thousand yuan.

He can't produce it.

I kept slapping myself, hating my own incompetence.

Dao Ye found a few friends, and together they raised enough money for the surgery.

It takes several people to pool together five thousand yuan.

What does 470,000 mean?

The monk sincerely wanted to pay his respects to Su Chao.

"That's Cao Cao!"

The fake Taoist priest also sighed, "Four hundred and seventy thousand. What would he do if he had four hundred and seventy thousand?"

It definitely wasn't donated.

"Cao Cao, what does that mean?"

The monk didn't understand; he knew that Cao Cao was a character from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, as was Lü Bu.

"He's saying the principal is a treacherous villain."

Lu Bu snorted.

How can you say that about the principal? Do you think you deserve the job he gave you? Don't you have any conscience at all?

However, there's nothing wrong with saying that.

Our principal even has a taste for women that's a bit like Cao Cao's.

Seventeen or eighteen-year-olds don't like it.

For example, Fan Xuexue, Yuan Quan, Zhang Tong, Gao Yuanyuan... these pretty girls in the training class all looked at the principal with a sense of admiration and respect.

The principal was eighteen years old, and he was a good match for them.

Having a romantic relationship is no problem at all; she could even juggle two relationships and still manage to please both.

However, the principal was not interested in seventeen or eighteen-year-olds.

He relentlessly pursued Lin Zhimeng, who was three years older than him.

In ancient times, girls who were fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, or eighteen could be called young girls, while those over twenty were considered wives and young women.
Of course, Lin Zhimeng is not anyone's wife.

Su Aman couldn't very well ask her to marry someone first and then snatch him away, could he? "Hey, Abu, can I ask you something? How much do you usually earn as an agent?"

The fake Taoist priest was very curious.

"When I first started working with the principal, I earned about 300 yuan a month, but the bonuses were substantial. Currently, I can earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a month, but it's not very stable. The base salary is 2,000 yuan."

Lü Bu was the agent.

If the commercial performances and endorsements are approached by him, he can get a small bonus. If he contacts the commercial performances and endorsements himself, he can get a 5% commission.

In addition, there is a basic salary of two thousand yuan.

"Fuck!"

The Taoist priest and the monk were both stunned.

If you make 10,000 to 20,000 a month, you'd make over 100,000 a year.

"Even if your salary increases later, it won't exceed two thousand yuan as bodyguards. After all, the average monthly salary in Beijing this year is only four or five hundred yuan."

Lu Bu reminded them of something.

Actually, the 600 yuan trial period fee was an extra amount Su Chao offered because of Ni Zengzhao's influence.

The profession of bodyguard is actually the same as security guard.

Unless you're a bodyguard in Zhongnanhai, protecting important figures.

"Abu, no, Brother Bu, please give me some pointers."

Let's just call him Brother Bu. Although Lu Bu is a few years younger than them, there's always a first-come, first-served order, isn't there?

Moreover, they even promised to take them to get a foot massage.

"If you want a high salary, you have to work harder. You two can read, right?"

Lu Bu began to train these two guys.

"I know him, I can read the entire Daoist Canon..."

The fake Taoist priest nodded repeatedly.

"Literacy is taught in the temple!"

The monk also got excited. He was a man of few words, but he wasn't incapable of speaking; he was also intelligent when he was learning to read and write.

Money is like meat; he doesn't want to miss any opportunity to make money.

"Anyway, the principal didn't assign you any work. Just watch what I'm doing now and learn from me. You can become an agent someday."

Lu Bu was genuinely thinking of the two brothers' best interests.

"how about you?"

Dao Ye didn't doubt Lü Bu's sincerity; he was too embarrassed to take Lü Bu's job.

"The principal is a man who will do great things. I am his confidant and will definitely become a president or something in the future. Being an agent is just a temporary job."

Lü Bu was perfectly justified.

"..."

Both the Buddha and the Taoist priest were somewhat bewildered.

But they were actually a little tempted.

Damn it, I need to find some books and start studying.

Why bother washing your feet!
Don't say things like "even if I'm penniless, I'll still appreciate the pretty girls in the alley." If you really have no money, then that's rape.

Anyway, Su Chao didn't assign them too much work.

They'd be better off studying.

On the day filming officially began, they all brought books to the film set.

The film crew held a lively blessing ceremony.

Andy Lau and Leslie Cheung are still filming in mainland China. Only Su Chao's scenes in "New Shanghai Bund" have finished filming; the others still have to continue.

So none of them were able to attend.

However, Wakin Chau and Jacky Cheung were very accommodating and attended the celebration.

Jacky Cheung even brought his fiancée.

This scene was very grand.

Normally, Jacky Cheung wouldn't give people that kind of face.

When his career was at a low point, he worked hard to act in any role. Now that his career is at its peak, he naturally won't be so casual with people.

I originally thought it was just a small film crew.

The arrival of these two powerful figures has left people somewhat puzzled.

Adding to the excitement was the fact that Wang Zuxian, who had almost been forced to "retire from the entertainment industry," had been brought to the attention of the media invited by the production team.

Are there still people who dare to use Joey Wong these days?
Does she have a bad reputation?

Look how badly "Green Snake" lost money.

Now that he has left Lin Jianyue, he has been publicly insulted by Lin's mother, making it even less likely that he will receive any good opportunities.

The crew of "My Sassy Girl" is truly brave.

In addition, there's Kelly Chen, the little princess of a jewelry tycoon's family.

She came very discreetly.

However, he was very polite to Su Chao.

After bringing the songs back, the company was shocked and could hardly believe that they had bought such good songs so casually.

She didn't get any roles.

However, she made it clear that she would never refuse to help if needed.

Princess Lin gained popularity from the moment she entered the entertainment circle due to her family background.

She is also a darling of the media.

Of course, Su Chao is also a hot topic for Hong Kong media.

Unfortunately, Chen Peihua had already spoken with the newspaper's senior management and refused to be interviewed about Su Chao's gossip this time.

At least before the movie is released, they are unwilling to engage in unnecessary hype.

In addition, there was a woman standing next to Su Chao.

She looks quite young, around twenty years old.

With a temperament even more outstanding than that of celebrities, Wang Zuxian, who doesn't seem to be in good spirits, looks a bit like a maid standing next to her.

However, she was wearing a hat and sunglasses.

They didn't give the media a chance to take photos from the front at all.

In Hong Kong, starting a film requires praying to the gods.

Some worship Guan Yu, some worship the God of Wealth, and some worship Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Su Chao's side is worshipping the God of Wealth.

This time it's a commercial film, everything is for making money.

Chen Peihua and Chen Musheng led everyone in offering incense and worshipping the gods.

Then, with a loud cannon salute, the filming of "My Sassy Girl" officially began.
