So what if I work with celebrities?

Two days later, Wang Yu came to the door, insisting on inviting Xu Zan to have some fun.

He recently traveled to Southeast Asia to promote the movie "One-Armed Heroes".

Ever since "The One-Armed Swordsman" became a hit, this guy has been obsessed with this subject matter.

This year alone, two installments of the One-Armed Boxer series were released, and audiences were quite receptive, resulting in profits from box office settlements in multiple locations.

"One-Armed Heroes" was released in Hong Kong this time, but it was a box office flop with a mere HK$22 loss. However, it still managed to make a profit in Southeast Asia and Taiwan.

Otherwise, where would Wang Yu get the money to live a carefree life?

Xu Zan originally wanted to take a girl out, but Wang Yu stopped him. He winked and said:

"Would your brother really leave you lonely in an empty bed?"

He recently bought a first-generation Cadillac Seville, a new model released this year, which retails for NT$270 million in Taiwan.

This car has removed the rocket tail fin that was popular on American luxury cars before.

It sells for $12479 in the US, which should be about one million New Taiwan Dollars, but dealers mark it up to 270 million, making an astonishing profit.

Don't complain about the price; you'll have to wait several months to buy one. Of course, Wang Yu isn't the type to wait in line, so he bought one without hesitation.

It has to be said that this car is very cool. Xu Zan saw many girls stopping and looking around. He probably only needed to wave his hand and these girls would get on the car and have some fun.

However, he didn't expect Wang Yu to bring him to the Peach Blossom Pavilion Restaurant. This was where the kid's glorious exploits were displayed.

As soon as the Seville stopped at the entrance, a valet ran over to open the door.

"Mr. Wang, welcome to Peach Blossom Pavilion!" The valet said sweetly, "Wow, your car is so impressive! Just like the chivalrous hero you play! I wish I could be like you someday."

"Ha, good job!" Wang Yu handed the keys to the valet, gave him a two-hundred-yuan tip, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Clean it up properly!"

Xu Zan had to admit that being a star wasn't easy; one had to maintain a good image. From the moment Wang Yu got out of the car until he entered the door, he kept handing out money, at least a hundred yuan to each person.

According to him, the money must be given, even if you are so poor that you only have 10,000 yuan left, you still have to take it out and give it out, so that others will not look down on you.

Directors and producers also take the initiative to approach them for roles.

When they entered the private room, there were already quite a few people inside, all of whom were members of the Lianzhuhui (Bamboo Association).

Xu Zan had met them before; they were probably from Qing Tang. He hadn't expected them to be so close to Wang Yu.

"Oh my, isn't this Director Xu? Please take a seat!" Hua Rong said with a smile.

"Oh, it's Brother Hua Rong. How's your older brother 'Rat'?" Xu Zan's current position in the gang is considered to be in the middle to upper ranks.

Hua Rong is also a nickname, which is very common among people in the martial arts world, especially among the heroes in "Water Margin".

Just like how people in Guangdong like to call someone Jiahao, there must be at least five hundred, if not a thousand, people in Taipei who call someone Hua Rong.

"Brother Tanuki, you'll have to protect us from now on!"

Hua Rong was not tall, had short hair, wore glasses, and had a faint scar on the corner of his mouth. He chuckled.

"From now on, we'll have to rely on Brother Xu Zan," Wang Yu chimed in. "He's the emperor's favorite, so we have to serve him well tonight!"

"Of course, Sister Manny, Sister Manny!" Hua Rong called out.

In the past, the people at Qingtang would most likely have treated Xu Zan as a "sucker." You're a big director, you own a company, you should pay him!

However, during this major robbery incident, Xu Zan was detained and then came under the scrutiny of higher-ups. Now, rumors circulate that he has cleaned up his act and been granted amnesty by the current emperor.

This is something the Lianzhuhui (United Bamboo Association) has been working hard on. Ever since the landlubber was released from prison, he has been thinking about how to whitewash the Lianzhuhui so that he can openly "do business" in Taiwan.

"My little Li Guang is here! What are your orders?" Manny's voice came from outside the door before she even arrived.

Pushing open the door, there was a middle-aged beauty in a tight-fitting cheongsam, exuding charm. Hua Rong went up to her, put his arm around her waist, and teased her for a while.

Manny laughed and wriggled out of his arms, "Oh dear, I've neglected Master Wang, please don't brandish your swords and staffs anymore, we can't stand it."

Wang Yu chuckled and said, "Tonight..." He glanced around, "How can we not wield six big sticks?"

Through his introduction, Manny learned that the banquet was hosted by the famous director Xu Zan. Her fiery gaze made Xu Zan feel that she was aroused. He guessed that if it weren't for Wang Yu and Hua Rong being there, she would definitely have come over.

Wang Yu asked Manny to bring over the best girls so his brothers could choose.

Before long, rows of girls filed in, lined up, and struck alluring poses.

"Brother, you choose first," Wang Yu said with a smile.

Xu Zan didn't find anything he liked at first glance, and remained silent.

Wang Yu, a seasoned veteran, immediately appointed the top courtesan, "Summon the Imperial Concubine to keep my brother company!"

Manny dared not delay and immediately brought the person over. The imperial concubine had a charming air about her; she was voluptuous and had skin as white as snow.

"No wonder Emperor Li Longji had three thousand concubines in his harem, and all his favor was bestowed upon one of them."

Who can withstand such a test?

……

With her long hair flowing freely, the imperial concubine nestled in Xu Zan's arms, her breath sweet as orchids. "I was so scared today. I thought Wang Yu was coming to cause me trouble. If I had known it was a handsome young man like you, I wouldn't have run away."

Xu Zan lit a cigarette, finding the girl interesting. She was a hostess, and although she loved money, she was selective about who she slept with; she wouldn't accept anyone who wasn't handsome enough.

"I'm planning to make a movie, would you like to give it a try?"

The imperial concubine's eyes lit up, but she immediately shook her head. "How could I act? I have no education or skills."

"Ha, your technique was pretty good just now!" Xu Zan laughed.

The imperial concubine blushed, spat, and said, "You want to make that kind of movie? No way! I'm already embarrassed enough. If it's shown in theaters, I'll die."

"I'm a legitimate director, so of course I won't make the lewd movies you're thinking of." Xu Zan stubbed out his cigarette and picked her up.

After all, a moment of blissful intimacy is worth a fortune.

In its opening week, "The Eight Hundred Heroes" achieved a staggering box office performance. Thanks to the support of Taiwanese citizens, the film grossed a total of ten million.

This data breaks the record for the highest opening week box office for a Taiwanese Chinese-language film.

All the rumors about Xu Zan were disproven. There was no need for him to use connections; he was simply a genius.

When one rumor is debunked, another one will emerge.

Rumors are circulating in Taipei: Who did Hsu Tsan offend to be arrested? Is someone persecuting a loyal and upright person?

Based on the turmoil and movement of several years ago, the citizens firmly believe this.

What Xu Zan found most amusing was that Ryusuke Takeda actually came to him, hoping to acquire the screening rights for "The Eight Hundred Heroes".

"No, Mr. Ryusuke Takeda, are you sure you didn't mispronounce the movie title? Are you sure it's not 'Destiny'?"

"No, Mr. Xu, our company wants to import this movie, please!" Ryusuke Takeda said earnestly.

Xu Zan pondered for a moment and said, "We've known each other for a long time. How about this, I'll sell it to you for fifteen million New Taiwan Dollars."

Surprisingly, Takeda Ryusuke didn't haggle; he nodded repeatedly in agreement, even seeming relieved.

Xu Zan found it a bit strange, but didn't say anything. After all, it would be a fool not to make money.

He only regretted not asking for more money, thinking that the film's box office performance in Japan would not be very good, so he simply decided not to share the revenue.

Ryusuke Takeda also bought the distribution rights to "Serendipity," this time for 500 million plus a 10% share of the revenue.

After seeing off this patron, Xu Zan received a call from Zhang Aijia.

"What? You've invited me to your dinner party? Is that appropriate?"

"Of course it's suitable! How could it not be suitable? We hit it off immediately, fell in love at first sight, were instantly smitten, clicked instantly, and shared a passionate kiss..."

Zhang Aijia's words made Xu Zan's heart itch. He didn't know if it was a side effect of time travel, but he found that his desires were very strong.
