Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 131 Binny Tiger's Bizarre Preferences

Liang Kun and Han Bin walked out of Juyi Hall, neither of them glancing at Xi B lying on the ground.

The two men completely disregarded Jiang Tiansheng's dog.

If these two dare to provoke the two of them, they shouldn't blame them for taking drastic measures.

Neither Liang Kun nor Han Bin are soft-hearted people.

Han Bin glanced at the Hall of Righteousness behind him, somewhat surprised:
"Ah Kun, no one came out with us."

Liang Kun shrugs:

"That's normal."

"You're too famous. Even if they wanted to befriend you, they wouldn't show up at this time."

Han Bin said in astonishment:
"Am I too famous?"

Liang Kun rolled his eyes in a very unladylike manner:
"Binny Tiger of Hetu, the underworld boss who was originally recognized as the next leader, do you think your reputation is insignificant?"

“Hung Hing was just a medium to large-sized triad before. It’s normal that they didn’t want to associate with you because they were intimidated by your reputation.”

Han Bin sighed:

"So your plan is doomed?"

Liang Kun was stunned:

"What's my plan?"

Han Bin laughed and said:

"So it's money laundering through movies?"

Liang Kun suddenly realized:

"Binny, so you thought this was the big deal I was talking about earlier?"

Now it was Han Bin's turn to be stunned:

"Is not it?"

Liang Kun shrugs:

"This stuff doesn't need any advertising at all. As soon as you make it, it will spread immediately."

"Besides, when it comes to money laundering through movies, of course you have to squeeze yourself out first."

"I have a considerable amount of money to launder."

Han Bin nodded repeatedly:

"Makes sense."

"Every man for himself" – such a good thing should naturally be enjoyed by one's own side first.

"So what's this big deal you were talking about?"

Handsome Kun turned his head and shouted:

"Adao!"

Wang Dao stepped forward with a smile and asked:
"Brother Bin, since you're in the arms business, do you have any clients in Sicily?"

Han Bin shrugged:

"It's not just in Sicily, it's all over the world."

Wang Dao's smile grew even brighter:

“Sicily is a stronghold of the French, and the big deal I want to discuss with you is the Château Lafite Rothschild winery in France. The wines they are producing this year are of exceptionally high quality.”

"We want to buy it all." "Brother Bin, would you be interested in investing?"

Han Bin was taken aback:
"Buy the entire Château Lafite Rothschild winery?"

Wang Dao speaks the truth:

"I've received intelligence that Château Lafite Rothschild has had a bumper harvest of grapes this year, with exceptionally high quality. It's said that the resulting wine will rival the 54 vintage!"

Han Bin exclaimed in astonishment:
"true and false?"

Of course it is fake!
However, the 1981 Lafite was also of good quality.

The 1983 vintage is the best.

Han Bin thought for a moment and said:

"Buying out all their drinks would be quite expensive."

"You might as well just buy their winery."

Wang Dao's eyes lit up. Han Bin was indeed Han Bin; his business acumen was beyond question.

"Is it expensive?"

Han Bin nodded:
"It is indeed very expensive, costing several million US dollars."

The king was overjoyed:

"Then could you please find out the specific price for me, Brother Bin?"

Han Bin's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets:
"I'm talking about millions of US dollars, not millions of Hong Kong dollars."

Wang Dao shrugged:

"No problem, Brother Kun's assets can withstand it."

Han Bin looked at Liang Kun with admiration:

"Ah Kun, you're really hiding your true abilities."

Even Jiang Tiansheng probably doesn't have the ability to casually produce millions of US dollars.

Liang Kun thought to himself, "I don't have a damn bit of money," but on the surface he remained calm and composed.

"Small-scale businesses can't compare to Binni!"

Han Bin laughed heartily, pointing at Liang Kun and shaking his head.

This person is so low-key!
Wang Dao seized the opportunity to say:

"Gentlemen, we must have a proper celebration today."

"How about we go have some fun on Brother Qiang's turf?"

Upon hearing this, Sha Qiang glanced gratefully at Wang Dao. This was giving him a chance to impress his boss, so he immediately said:

"Brother Kun, Brother Binni, how about I make the arrangements?"

Liang Kun put his arm around Han Bin's neck and said:
"Binny, from now on we'll be making a living in the same club. Shall I throw you a celebration?"

Han Bin glanced at everyone and immediately nodded:
"Then thank you for your help!"

Silly and powerful are overjoyed:

"Everyone, please!"

So the group headed straight to Nathan Road for Night Shanghai.

Sha Qiang returned first and brought Fat Ma:
"Fat Mama, the boss has some important guests to entertain. Find a few beautiful women to keep them company while they drink."

Fat Mama was taken aback:
"Brother Qiang, please don't get me into trouble!"

Silly Qiang can't figure it out:
"What do you mean I hurt you?"

Fat Mama smiled wryly:
"Bozi is my sister-in-law, and she is good friends with Xiaofuxing and the others."

"These are the few girls I can offer."

"You let them... Brother Kun..."

"Isn't this going to kill me?"

Sha Qiang stared at her speechlessly:
What nonsense are you thinking about?

"I already told you, we're accompanying the important guests brought by the boss!"

Fat Mama's eyes widened:
"Not accompanying Brother Kun?"

Sha Qiang growled in a low voice:

"You're afraid of your sister-in-law, but don't you think I'm not?"

"Crazy line!"

Having received Sha Qiang's assurance, Fat Mama quickly said:
"Don't worry, Brother Qiang, I will definitely take good care of your brother."

Sha Qiang was furious:
"Am I stupid Qiang, or are you stupid Qiang?"

"I already said that we're here to entertain the boss's distinguished guests."

"If it weren't for your good relationship with your sister-in-law, I would have drowned you in the pond today."

"Gan!"

However, even though he says that, he would never actually do it.

In any case, the current customer traffic in Shanghai's nightlife district owes a great deal to Fat Mama's skillful management!

Han Bin arrived in Shanghai at night and immediately fell in love with it:
"It still has to be Yau Tsim Mong."

"This level of foot traffic is unmatched by Kwai Ting."

Liang Kun pointed at Han Bin and said,

"Does your business still need foot traffic?"

Han Bin spoke the truth:

"Business is not so good these days."

“If it were three or four years ago, any ship that went out to sea, without even going far, could make twenty times the profit just by going around Southeast Asia.”

"Now, we have to go to the Middle East or the Americas."

In the 1970s, there were wars all over Southeast Asia.

The demand for weapons is enormous.

As long as there are weapons, regardless of which country they belong to, they will be looted.

It's completely different now.

"I have a feeling that this wave of quick money business is coming to an end."

"I need to find a relatively stable business."

Liang Kun looked at Han Bin in surprise:

"There aren't many people in the community with your vision."

Han Bin shrugged:

"We're just ordinary folks, working at the police station on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and the funeral home on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Who knows, maybe one day I'll be at the funeral home too?"

“I am different from you; I try my best to abide by the law in this city.”

"Otherwise, we would have been buried somewhere long ago."

Handsome Kun also smiled:
“You’re wrong about that. I’m different from them. Right now, I just want to make movies in peace.”

"I am a legitimate businessman."

The two smiled at each other and clinked glasses.

I had just put down my wine glass when Fat Mama burst in like a whirlwind:
"Kun, Binni, I've brought you some girls."

When Liang Kun looked up, his face almost turned green:
"Miao Ying? Little Lucky Star? Van Boy?"

"You're here?"

These are all my wife's best friends.

Shuying smiled and said:

"We usually come here to drink when we have nothing else to do."

Han Bin asked:

"What's happening here?"

Liang Kun beckoned the three of them to sit next to the Han brothers.

"Hey, these three beauties aren't selling themselves."

"A real goldfish."

"If you want to get close to her, then you'll have to see what you're capable of."

"Let me state this first: we absolutely cannot use force."

"Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to my wife."

Han Bin asked in bewilderment:
"Are they your sister-in-law's?"

Liang Kun shrugs:

"Bestie!"

Han Bin suddenly realized:

"I see."

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"These two are employees of our Qiankun Film and Television."

"The movie they starred in is about to be released."

"He will become our go-to actor for Qiankun Film and Television in the future."

"Maybe he'll become a big star."

Han Bin sized up the women, and when he saw Van, his eyes lit up immediately:
"Beautiful lady, come and sit down."

Wang Dao couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Liang Kun sat beside him, and Wang Dao's expression was clearly visible. He asked in surprise:
"What's your expression?"

Wang Dao said in a low voice:
“I heard that Binney’s views on choosing a partner are different from ordinary people, but I never expected to see it for myself.”

"He likes tomboys."

what?
Liang Kun stared in surprise at Han Bin, who was chatting animatedly with Van, his head full of question marks. Han Bin looked so handsome and manly, why did he like tomboys?
It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.

After what happened with Brother Hongyi, Van had long since lost her naivety, but the wildness in her bones still made her unforgettable.

But Han Bin just happens to like that.

"These people are absolutely insane."

"Kun likes Bozi, and Hanbin likes Van."

"They could have chosen a better woman with their qualifications."

"So you have to go after these rebellious girls?"

"Can one's experiences in their youth really influence their views on choosing a partner?"

Wang Dao pondered for a long time without finding a solution, then his thoughts wandered further.

"What will happen to Cui Xiaoxiao if Han Bin and Vanzi get together?"

"Damn, even Liang Kun might not be able to recruit Chui Shui Da as his underling, so what does Cui Xiao Xiao have to do with me!"

Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt at ease.

Later, when everyone was having a pleasant chat, Liang Kun simply called his wife Bo Zi and invited her over, and then Wang Dao's wife Le Huizhen also came.

Goodness, this private room is now a gathering of handsome men and beautiful women.

The atmosphere became even more lively.

As they chatted, Bozi sighed:

"You don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household; renovating a house can empty your savings."

Le Huizhen nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, yes, I'm afraid to buy anything casually now."

Han Bin said speechlessly:
"Two ladies, with your renovation methods, everyone's pockets will be emptied, right?"

"A house worth five million, and you insist on spending six million on renovations..."

"They're really rich!"

Van blinked:

"I actually think their renovation is very nice."

Han Bin complained:
"How could it not be good?"

"What do you think they decorated it according to?"

"The palace!"

Van exclaimed in surprise:

"Then isn't the one living in the palace the Empress?"

Bozi was very proud:

"That's what Ah Kun told me."

Le Huizhen chuckled:
"It could also be the residence of a princess and her husband."

Van, Miao Ying, and Xiao Fuxing were extremely envious.

"Kun-ge and Dao-ge really spoil you guys."

"We will never have the chance to live in such a big house."

Han Bin's heart skipped a beat, but he pretended to be nonchalant and said:

"It's not necessarily impossible."

Van shook his head:

"It's practically impossible."

"It's not just about having money to live in the luxury residential area of ​​Repulse Bay."

"You need to have a pretty good reputation."

"That house is full of celebrities."

"Besides, I don't have much money."

At this point, Han Bin found it difficult to speak.

Wang Dao laughed and said:

“The three of you are all going to pursue acting careers in the future. I’ll have the chubby guy tailor-make a few scripts for you. Who knows, you might actually become big stars.”

Little Lucky Star shook his head and said:
“Ah Zhen told us that the stars on TVB Jade only earn three thousand dollars a month for firewood and water... which is less than what we earn as hostesses in nightclubs.”

Wang Dao laughed heartily:

“Ah Zhen is talking about TV stars; movie stars are completely different.”

"You have a good relationship with your sister-in-law. If she whispers in your ear, she might just make you big stars."

"Let me tell you, Longwei's salary for one movie is as high as four million."

Everyone was shocked.

Miao Ying and Xiao Fuxing covered their mouths.

Van is still very rational:

"Among so many male celebrities, I know that he is one of them who has reached this number."

"The others only get one or two million."

"Female celebrities naturally earn less than male celebrities, and therefore earn less."

Miao Ying's eyes lit up:

"If one film's salary isn't enough, then just make a few more."

"I don't ask for a million-dollar salary for a single film."

"As long as I can earn over a million a year, that's fine."

Little Lucky Star exclaimed in surprise:

"Are you that greedy?"

Miao Ying said dejectedly:
"I know I was a bit greedy."

Bozi nudged Liangkun:
"Ah Kun, can you help my best friend?"

Liang Kun asked Wang Dao:
"Ado, what do you think?"

Wang Dao laughed heartily:
"Is your ideal income a million a year?"

The three of them nodded in unison.

Wang Dao shrugged:

“If that’s the case, I’ll make the decision. We’ll agree to five movies a year, with a fee of 200,000 per movie.”

"A ten-year contract."

"We can sign now."

"how?"

Everyone fell silent.

Miao Ying could hardly believe her ears:

"Brother Dao, are you telling the truth?"

Wang Dao's smile faded, and he said with utmost seriousness:
"I never joke about serious matters."

Miao Ying and Xiao Fuxing exchanged a glance, both of them stunned.

Van managed to remain rational, but was still shocked:

"If it really goes as you say, we can make ten million in ten years?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Indeed."

Van smiled wryly:

Won't you lose money?

Wang Dao chuckled and said:

"Then you don't need to worry about it."

Van steadied himself and suddenly asked:
"If we follow the established procedures and sign a contract with Qiankun Film and Television, how much money can we make in ten years?"

Wang Dao gives a thumbs up:
"Van, not bad, you thought of that."

He said bluntly,

“You are all my sister-in-law’s good friends, and I won’t cheat my friends. I’ll tell you the truth.”

"As long as you are affiliated with Qiankun Film and Television, your film remuneration will increase rapidly over the next ten years."

"That depends on your maximum limit."

"If I can maintain my position as a second-tier actress, I may have the opportunity to earn a million for a single film in the future."

"If it's a first-tier city, then several million is no problem."

"But even if it's only second-tier, it won't be a loss."

"Anyway, with your sister-in-law's influence here, the film company still needs to hire people, so it doesn't matter who they hire?"

"Whether you sign or not, it concerns your future."

"There's no need to make a decision right now. Think about it carefully."

Van, Miao Ying, Xiao Fuxing, and the others exchanged glances and decided to think it over carefully before making a decision.

Wang Dao also said:

"I need to make this clear to you beforehand."

"The movie 'Hooking Up Girls' is about to be released."

"This is a groundbreaking film, and you will definitely become known to the public by then."

"For the sake of our company's image, we can't make these goldfish."

"If you sign with our company, you will undergo a series of training sessions."

Van was shocked:
"More training is needed?"

Wang Dao said solemnly:
"Of course, you will receive standardized training in physical fitness, dance, tea ceremony, media image, and even your speech and behavior."

"Since we've signed you, we need to mold you into high-quality idols who fit the public's perception."

Van and the others were speechless.

Once Wang Dao gets serious, his strong professionalism leaves no room for argument.

Lok Wai-chun touched the marbles:

How much is your salary?

Bozi was confused:
"I do not know!"

“Ah Kun said there was a movie that was suitable for me to play the female lead, so I went.”

"He didn't tell me about the pay."

Han Bin laughed and said:

"Of course, a husband-and-wife business doesn't need to pay actors' fees."

Leung Kwan smiled but remained silent.

Han Bin was taken aback:
"Ah Kun, did I say something wrong?"

Wang Dao laughed and said:

“Binnige, our Qiankun Film and Television is a legitimate film company.”

"The woman is playing the lead role; it's not a cameo."

"It's a genuine contract."

"Kun and I discussed it, and the total investment for this film is one million, and Ah Sao's salary will be one hundred thousand."

"However, this 100,000 is counted as an investment."

"In other words, she is also one of the investors and will share the box office profits."

Han Bin gave a thumbs up:
"Ah Kun, you really know how to have fun!"

Bozi asked blankly:
"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

Le Huizhen quickly said:

"Of course it's a good thing. Only someone like you, as the sister-in-law, would have such an opportunity."

"If we told the chubby guy about this good news, he would rather give up the director's salary and take a share of the box office revenue."

"This is an investment!"

"His status changed instantly."

"If Brother Kun is willing, he'll give you the title of producer directly, and you'll be an investor."

Even so, Bozi only vaguely understood.

After thinking for a moment, Yue Huizhen explained,
"Your salary for this film is a fixed 100,000 yuan, but after you invest in this film, you will receive a share based on the box office revenue."

"If the box office is low, your share might not even be 100,000, then you'll lose money."

"But if this film's box office reaches more than two million, your share will easily exceed one hundred thousand."

Han Bin laughed and said:

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, Qiankun Films' first movie is sure to be a huge hit!"

"My sister-in-law is about to make a fortune!"

Let's fill our cups!
