Before leaving the hospital, Marcia handed Chen Xia a check for $100 million.
Even if it didn't get the equipment, Pfizer was willing to pay in advance. Cooperating with such a ruthless villain could earn the greatest profit, but also incur the greatest risk.
So they didn't want to offend Chen Xia over some small things,
Even... a little bit of flattery towards this mysterious oriental boy and the mysterious organization behind him...
Chen Xia was very worried because the speed at which he spent money was far behind the speed at which he earned money.
When other people’s husbands are rich, their wives like to buy them bags.
But apart from being particularly interested in food, Gu Lin has no interest in brand-name bags, high-end clothes, or beautiful jewelry.
My dressing style is more Japanese, focusing on cleanliness, neatness and comfort. I don’t like fancy dressing.
The eldest wife is not a spendthrift, and the second wife hides on the farm all day and doesn't spend money at all. This is really a case of one dying of drought or flooding.
By August, Chen Xia's injury had almost recovered.
In 1990, the film and television industry in Hong Kong was highly developed, and the box office was dominated by the "two-week 10%" trend. Chen Xia was happily watching the newly released videotape of "God of Gamblers" in the hospital ward.
This movie stars Stephen Chow, Ng Man-tat, Sandra Ng and others, and its nonsensical style is very obvious.
Chen Xia had seen it in his previous life, and when he was reborn and watched it again, he still laughed so hard that he fell over.
At this time, the phone in the ward rang, and Chen Shuqin's voice was heard.
"Xiao Xia, I have a guest here who wants to ask you for a favor."
"Guest? Help?"
Chen Xia was a little puzzled. His influence was mainly in the mainland. If he wanted to find someone for help in Hong Kong, he should look for Chen Shuqin, not him.
"Aunt, who is that? What can I do for you? I'm completely confused."
"It's the movie star Wang Lianjie."
The name Wang Lianjie is well-known. He made his debut with the movie "Shaolin Temple" and reached the peak of his career as soon as he debuted.
He later created screen characters such as Wong Fei-hung, Fong Sai-yuk, Ling Gu Chong, and Zhang Wuji, and was one of the most famous action stars in the 1980s and 1990s.
Although he did many controversial things after retirement and converted to Tibetan Buddhism, he was keen on charity and founded the "One Foundation". He is also a good person.
Oh, Jet Wang is not from Hong Kong.
When Chen Xia heard that the man was a fellow countryman from the mainland and a star he had personally liked very much in his previous life, he readily agreed to meet him.
Wang Lianjie came very quickly.
In the ward, Chen Xia looked at this young and handsome action star and was full of curiosity. But for some reason, looking at Wang Lianjie's frown, he didn't look like the tough guy on the screen at all.
"Hello, Mr. Wang, you're a big star. I finally met you in person today, haha."
Chen Xia wanted to make a few jokes, but Wang Lianjie knelt down as soon as he entered the ward.
"Mr. Chen, please help me. I know this is very presumptuous of me, but I have no relatives in Hong Kong. I can only ask you, a fellow countryman, for help."
Chen Xia was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to describe his shock at the moment. His childhood idol "Huang Feihong" suddenly knelt in front of him. This feeling was like a dream.
At this time, Hu Jianfeng hurried forward and helped Wang Lianjie up.
"This, this, this, that, that, Mr. Wang, why are you doing this? I, I, I..."
Chen Xia was so frightened that he became incoherent and couldn't even speak clearly.
Hu Jianfeng had been in Hong Kong for a long time and was obviously very familiar with some of the rumors: "Boss, if my guess is correct, it must be because of the murder of Mr. Wang's agent."
Wang Lianjie had just stood up, but upon hearing this, he immediately knelt down again:
"Mr. Chen, I've been forced into a corner. I don't even dare to appear in public now. These people are so unruly. They want to kill me. Mr. Chen, please save my life for the sake of being a mainlander."
Chen Xia finally remembered that something like this happened in his previous life, but he couldn't remember the exact year. He was reborn in this life, and many things had changed slightly.
But whether it is worth it for him to get involved in this mess is something he really needs to think about carefully.
He is brainless, but he doesn't want to be used as a tool.
After listening to Wang Lianjie's story, he finally understood the whole story.
Wang Lianjie was originally a contracted actor of "Jiahe". Due to disputes over pay and other issues, he decided not to renew his contract with Jiahe and hired a new agent to help him handle matters related to filming.
This was the golden age of Hong Kong movies, and making movies was very profitable. Even Jet Wong's fame, coupled with his status as a martial arts star, was very suitable for the most popular and profitable martial arts films.
Jiahe regards him as a cash cow, and since he is a mainlander, he is almost semi-controlled in Hong Kong.
When Wang Lianjie proposed not to renew the contract and asked for his previous film remuneration, Jiahe turned hostile and his agent Mr. Cai was killed in the street. This was a naked warning.
Maybe next time, it will be Wang Lianjie who will be shot twice, die in the streets, and die in a foreign land.
He had already accepted several acting offers, but now all of them have fallen through. Not only is his acting career likely to end, but now even his life is in danger.
He begged all the famous figures in Hong Kong's film and television circles.
When he was in his prime, he was praised everywhere he went. But now that he has fallen on hard times, all he hears is ridicule, or his secretary saying, "Sorry, the boss is not here."
Even Ni Kuang, who used to be his brother and a fellow mainlander, avoided him and pretended not to know him.
Isn’t there a saying that goes, “Since ancient times, cousins are disloyal and actors are heartless”? It’s really realistic.
Wang Lianjie was also desperate, and suddenly remembered that the boss of the newly emerging Four Seasons Group in recent years was also a mainlander, so he came to the door for help with the mentality of last straw.
After hearing what happened, Chen Xia scratched his head.
Jiahe is a very important company in the Hong Kong film and television industry, and has no business conflicts with the Four Seasons Group. If he intervenes rashly, will it cause resentment and confrontation from local capital?
Is it worth it for a movie star?
Seeing Chen Xia thinking, Wang Lianjie sat on the sofa on pins and needles, and suddenly seemed to have made up his mind.
"Mr. Chen, I know you own a Four Seasons Film and Television Company in mainland China. If you can help me through this difficult time, I'd like to sign a contract with your company and become an artist under your name. I can sign for 5 years, no, 10 years, and I'll just take the lowest commission."
Wang Lianjie had no choice but to sign a contract to sell himself.
He never dreamed that someone could kill someone in the street just because of a contract termination dispute. How could it be so barbaric?
The key point is that although someone was killed, Jiahe was not in any trouble and was not even listed as a suspect. The local police only said that agent Cai died in a business dispute with a Dutchman.
Is the case closed just like that?
