“I feel this especially deeply from what President Lu said. When I first met him a month ago, I didn’t believe it! To be honest, even if you have the ability, he wouldn’t trust you with such a big company.” Du Guoying said seriously, “But President Lu believed in me. He told me back then, ‘Little Du, just go for it, I’ll back you up.’ To be honest, when brothers can reach this level, I’m truly moved.”
Andy Lau was still holding on, a smile on his face, but his manager was starting to give out.
“I think we should consider this. If you cooperate with other companies, they might rip you off. You should know that a celebrity's popularity only lasts a few years. What if they're not popular anymore? I don't mind taking a loss, brother. I'll sign you for ten years for concerts and advertising in the mainland market. Even if you're not popular next year, I'll support you for the next nine years!” Lu Feng patted his chest and said generously, “I'll take care of you!”
It has to be said that the contract offered by Lu Feng was very tempting. The agent was afraid that Andy Lau would be tempted, so he said, "Mr. Lu, we know who you are. Jiaming Foods is also your company, right? We even had a lawsuit against you in 1990."
"Huh? Really? Oh dear, I don't remember that. Maybe I remembered it wrong." Lu Feng chuckled and brushed it off.
In 1990, Lu Feng used photos of the Four Heavenly Kings to advertise Jiaming Foods, hanging posters everywhere. After losing the lawsuit, he had to pay the other party more than 100,000 yuan. However, because of the celebrity endorsement, Jiaming Foods developed and grew rapidly.
After dinner, filming resumed immediately. Two hours later, Andy Lau finished filming. Lu Feng took a photo with him, escorted him downstairs, and implied that he wanted to sign him for the mainland China adaptation rights for ten years.
"We'll be leaving now. Please take care of us if there's anything you need, Mr. Lu. If you're going to Hong Kong, you can also let us know. Our company's CEO really wants to see you," the agent said politely.
"Okay, drive carefully!" Lu Feng said politely.
After getting into the van, it sped away. Hua Zai leaned back in his seat, looking tired. His manager, worried he might still be thinking about the offer Lu Feng had made, reminded him, "You can find out who Mr. Lu is with just a little research. He's offering a ten-year contract. If you can't make him money, he won't acknowledge you the following year. Don't even think about it; you'll definitely be the one who suffers. Even a huge conglomerate like Chen's Capital has collapsed, hasn't it?"
"I know!"

The main shots had been filmed, and Director Wang sat in front of the monitor watching the sample footage. The more he watched, the more he felt that what he had filmed was terrible. Such a handsome star had been ruined by Lu Feng, especially against the various brightly colored backgrounds, the dancers looked like they were having a seizure.
Lu Feng walked over and asked, "How's it going? Can it be edited out? Do we need to do any reshoots?"
"We just need to shoot a few more close-ups of the dancers, but how do we edit this?" Director Wang looked at Lu Feng, his voice full of helplessness.
"It's simple. First, set up a wide, open scene to show everyone and highlight the vibrant colors of the background to create a sense of spaciousness. Then, cut to a close-up and find a tall, stylish girl. Have her make a phone call gesture as she walks forward. Then, switch the camera to Andy Lau, who is making the phone call gesture as he walks forward. Cut to a medium shot where the people behind him are doing a horse-riding dance with steps completely opposite to his. Then, have Andy Lau turn around and add a close-up of him with a pager hanging on his hand."
"The camera then switches to the dancers, five or six girls scattered around, a wide shot, switching back and forth between close-ups of the models' faces, finally cutting to a close-up of Andy Lau's face, and continuing to walk forward. Remember one thing, when quickly switching between shots of the dancers' faces, you have to time it with the background music, understand?"
"The last shot is a half-body shot of Andy Lau, standing in front with one hand in his pocket, looking cool and aloof. All the actors behind him are completely still. Then a white screen appears with the advertising slogan: 'No waiting, now! Jiaxun Pager.' The voice-over should be male, with a more international voice."
Lu Feng finished speaking in one breath, then patted Director Wang on the shoulder and said, "No problem, right? I've taught you this much. If you still can't get it, then let's find someone else!"
