Hong Kong variety show: Why do you say I'm crazy?

A diner at the next table, whose ancestral home was in Shandong, chuckled. The two were making quite a laugh.

"Oh!"

Tony delivered a knee strike that sent Ah Hu flying. This time he really didn't hold back; it was too embarrassing.

Chapter 38 The Pure Entertainment Industry

"Card!"

A chubby little boy was shouting into a megaphone on a film set.

"Boss, what do you think of my filming?"

Wang Taiyi lay leisurely on a deck chair, watching others make movies.

When this guy heard Jimmy say that 40% of his previous 8 million would be taken in fees, he got upset. Why should he do that? So he racked his brains to figure out how to wash his money, and then he thought of making movies, because that's a quick way to wash your money.

He took over the adult film company owned by his good friend, Liang Kun, renamed it "NB Film and Entertainment Company," and then recruited staff to make a small effort to reorganize the entertainment industry.

Little Fatty Wang Jing didn't even need Old Wang to deliberately look for him; he just came to him on his own initiative.

At this time, Wang Jing had not yet shown his talent for making movies. He would spend his days churning out lousy scripts and then go around trying to get investment. He was willing to take any amount of money as long as it would be invested in making a movie.

Upon seeing the news of Wang Taiyi's film and entertainment company opening in the newspaper, he immediately volunteered. Unexpectedly, he was noticed by the big boss, who funded him to make a movie as a trial, and the script was even written by the boss himself.

What is this? This is a great favor! Although he had heard that the big boss had a triad background, so what? Which film company doesn't have a triad background these days? To repay the big boss's trust, he vowed that even if the big boss's script was garbage, he would still take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, the script the big boss gave him turned out to be utter garbage.

Just look at this title—"The Pure Entertainment Circle"

"Purity" and "Entertainment Industry"—do these two words go well together?

Let's take a look at the plot.

It tells the story of a film actor training class, where more than a dozen art school students from different family backgrounds, with different life experiences and personalities persevere in their dreams, and experience the bittersweet growth process in the complex society and entertainment industry.

The film is filled with various magical elements, such as female students being supported by male bosses, male students being supported by female bosses, and various infidelity and other scandals.

You call that pure?

This is such a ridiculous story, yet the big boss claims it's complex and requires a multi-narrative approach to filming.

Are you serious? This story has multiple storylines? Does it even have a plot?

Wang Jing certainly didn't dare tell the boss. He would just do whatever the boss told him. The main reason was that he was interested in the stories the big boss had told him during their casual chat.

Old Wang ate the grapes Jia Hui handed him and said:

"Ah Jing, in your opinion, could this film win Best Film at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards?"

"puff...."

Wang Jing nearly choked to death on a mouthful of water.

"Haha, boss, you're so funny."

Old Wang is angry. Fatty, are you making fun of me?

Seeing that his boss was angry, Wang Jing quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Actually, boss, your movie does have its highlights, for example... for example, the actresses' performances are quite shocking!"

"You're only interested in the bad stuff, aren't you? What about the plot?"

"Boss, does it really have a storyline?"

"You can have this!"

"No... we really don't have any!"

"..."

Well, it seems that this masterpiece from back then was indeed "divine" enough; no matter the era or region, it would be considered garbage.

"Alright, Jing, I'll give you three days to finish filming. Didn't you say you had connections? We'd make a quick buck from it. That was the plan all along. Sigh! I overestimated it."

Wang Jing immediately perked up.

"I can get it done in a day, not three days. Boss, can I film the story you mentioned?"

"You mean God of Gamblers?"

"Yes, yes, that's it! God of Gamblers? Great name!"

Wang Jing said excitedly, "Boss, as long as you hand it over to me, I guarantee this film will be a huge hit, and winning an award will be no problem at all!"

"So confident?" Although Old Wang knew the God of Gamblers series could be successful, he still asked, since Wang Jing didn't have any successful experience at this time.

"Don't worry, boss, I'm willing to swear a solemn oath: if I don't succeed, I'm willing to not touch a girl for a month, no! A year!"

Is that ruthless? Okay, I believe you.

"Okay, then go ahead and film it well. Money isn't an issue. Find whomever you want. If you can't find anyone, just tell me, and I'll go get them myself."

"If you succeed, I'll hand over all the subsequent 'God of Gamblers,' 'God of Gamblers II,' 'God of Gamblers III,' 'God of Gamblers IV,' and 'God of Gamblers VIII' to you."

"Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss!"

Hmm, something strange seems to have gotten mixed in.

Old Wang looked at the monthly report that Jimmy had sent him in his Mercedes.

Now that "Shuai Tuan" is profitable, with a net profit of around ten million yuan per month, many people have seen the potential of this food delivery model and are imitating it.

Unfortunately, they were a bit too late. The "Shuai Group" had already risen to prominence and was now the leader, and no one could surpass them in the short term.

"Oh, right, the plane,"

Wang Taiyi looked at the plane that was being driven.

"How's things going with Qiu-ge?"

"hey-hey."

He gave a strange smile when the plane was mentioned.

"Brother, as you instructed, we bribed a few of Qiu's men. They got him drunk while they were eating together, then drugged him and threw him into the girl's bed. It's happened more than ten times already. I guess the girl is pregnant by now."

"Didn't he notice anything was wrong?"

"No, it's just that he's been staying home lately and has been to the hospital several times, both times to see a urologist and a specialist in sprains and bruises."

"Won't his underlings let it slip?"

"No, they probably want their eldest brother to have an heir too."

"very good."

Old Wang stretched.

"Once Qiu-ge has a child, I'll see if he still makes a fuss or asks me to pay back the money. I'll use his child to threaten him then... Hmph, then you can tell whether his 12 million was worth it."

"Oh my, my wisdom is so overflowing it's practically bursting out of my ears."

The plane didn't know how to communicate; what kind of wisdom is that? It's incredibly unethical!

"By the way, brother, there's something else I'm not sure if I should say."

"It's not appropriate to say that!"

"..."

"..."

The carriage suddenly fell silent, save for Jia Hui's soft laughter.

The plane is confused again. Why is the boss reacting like this? When someone asks this question on TV, shouldn't the other person say "feel free to speak" or "just say what you want to say"? Didn't the boss understand? Should I be more direct?

Little did he know that this line was among the top ten most hated movie lines in Old Wang's past life.

Do you think it's appropriate to say this or not? If I say it's inappropriate, will you just stop saying it? And that line, "I don't know how to bring it up, but never mind, I'll tell you anyway!", if you're so capable, then never say it at all.

"Brother, I'd better tell you." In the rearview mirror, his brother's eyes were fixed on him; the plane could no longer accommodate such an intellectual.

"I knew it would be like this. If you say something like that again, I'll slap you. Just say what you mean. Your previous brainless image was good enough. Don't change it."

"Oh."

"Big Brother, Chan Ho-nam is out. Hung Hing is having a meeting this afternoon to discuss who will be the boss. Do you want to go?"

Old Wang was taken aback: "Why didn't anyone notify me? Besides, what kind of respectable person holds a meeting in the afternoon?"

"No, brother, you used to have the boss to guide you, so of course you could go to meetings. Now that Liang Kun is gone, and you're not the leader anymore, of course no one will notify you."

"But Hongxing and I have real feelings for each other. This is too much! Damn it, I want to see what Jiang Tiansheng is up to behind my back!"

"Jiahui, I won't be able to film with you this afternoon, but I'll definitely be with you next time."

Wang Taiyi felt a little embarrassed. This girl had been so considerate during their time together, never disobeying him in the slightest. Sometimes, even the shameless Wang felt a little guilty towards her.

"It's okay, Brother Long, you go ahead and do your work. I can manage on my own," Guan Jiahui said with a sweet smile.
