"Hello, hello."
Zhang Jin sat respectfully on a small stool. Opposite him, Liu Che wore a black baseball cap and looked worried.
"Okay, have you been waiting?"
Liu Che flipped through the contract he had just signed, casually placed it on a small stool beside him, and asked, "Do you have any special skills?"
Zhang Jin was speechless for a moment and wanted to ask him what his specialty was.
This question seems very normal at first glance. Asking an actor what he is good at is not easy to answer.
Liu Che indeed thought so. He had just spent almost the entire day discussing business, and he had been interviewing actors almost non-stop.
Some of them were invited, some had no experience at all, and some were recommended by directors or screenwriters of certain departments.
The job that Liu Che did was a very messy one.
He has a wife and children, and he can't relax at home right away because he still has a lot of things to do in life.
"Is that a difficult question to answer?"
Liu Che was a little surprised that such a person could not answer the question. What could be the reason?
Zhang Jin still maintained his awkward smile. Although he was a thug at heart, he was not a complete rage machine. When he was in a weak position, he would compromise.
It's human nature, not personality.
"My appearance still has an advantage in the industry, and my acting skills are also pretty good."
"Oh, I see."
Liu Che didn't expect that the person in front of him was actually a guy with acting experience.
Only then did he realize it and quickly asked his secretary to bring Zhang Jin's information for inspection. Just as the secretary was about to go out, Liu Che looked at his watch and called the secretary back.
"I'm really sorry, time is tight, let's just get to know each other first."
"I remember you were the one who made the Category III movie." Liu Che did not shy away from the topic at all.
"Yes."
"Indeed, as you said, you are not bad looking, of course in your circle."
If compared with today's first-line actors, Zhang Jin can only be considered qualified, not excellent.
"Acting, what roles have you played?"
"I've played a stalker, a murderer, and a creepy student."
"Dirty student?"
Liu Che covered his mouth and couldn't help laughing twice, and Zhang Jin also laughed along.
The conversation between the two did not last long, and Liu Che ended it hastily because Shaw Brothers really needed a leading actor for erotic films, but the company's existing actors could fill this gap.
In other words, Zhang Jin can be used, but it is not important.
A decision like this depends on the interviewer's mood. If the conversation is pleasant, the other party is motivated and eager for the job, Liu Che may consider it more actively.
"Go back and wait for news."
After Liu Che said this, he began to tidy up his clothes.
Zhang Jin didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, so he asked, "How long will it take?"
Liu Che looked up at the other person and couldn't help but wonder if this guy was not very smart or was a little stubborn.
"It will take at most three days. In any case, you will be notified of the news."
After Liu Che finished speaking, he thought about it again. Considering Zhang Jin's performance today, it would not take three days at all.
"I'll give you news tomorrow."
"good."
Zhang Jin nodded and politely left Shaw Brothers. He returned to the somewhat dilapidated little house, where a woman was already sitting. She was Zhang Jin's lover, Zhu Ti, who worked as a dancer in a nearby nightclub.
The two people's acquaintance was also somewhat dramatic. At that time, Liu Che made some money from his first movie, and then people from the company invited him to go to a nightclub to have fun.
Speaking of nightclubs, that was a place Zhang Jin often visited before, and he immediately became excited.
So he made a bet and boasted to his companions on the spot that he could handle the dancer in minutes, and then Zhang Jin was half-heartedly pushed into chatting up the dancer.
This dancer is Zhu Ti. A woman like Zhu Ti can calculate the value of a man's clothing with just one glance. And if the man is dressed poorly but wears some brand-name jewelry, he is most likely a fool who is pretending to be big and great.
Zhang Jin didn't even have a layer of disguise on him, so Zhu Ti naturally didn't like him.
At first, Zhang Jin was very confident in himself, but after seeing Zhu Ti's lukewarm attitude, he changed his mind.
Zhang Jin handed over a few banknotes, hoping that the other party would accompany him to finish the play.
"Why are you pretending to be a master with just this little bit of experience? Why don't you look in the mirror?"
After hearing this, Zhang Jin frowned. He had even thought about where the other party would be buried, and planned to humiliate the dancer when no one was around.
So after the drinking party ended, Zhang Jin sneaked back to the back door of the nightclub, where the staff left. He saw Zhu Ti going backstage to change clothes, so he planned to ambush there.
After waiting for a long time, there was finally movement.
"You are sick, you don't need to touch me!"
Hearing that the voice was indeed coming from Zhu Ti, Zhang Jin, wearing his hat, tilted his head to look into the alley. In addition to Zhu Ti, there were three gangster-looking guys pushing Zhu Ti against the wall.
One of them had his hand inside Zhu Ti's skirt, rubbing it back and forth on her thighs.
Zhang Jin was so surprised that he stood there in a daze. He was not frightened by the scene in front of him. This scene was just a small scene to him, but when he saw that arrogant and domineering woman being treated like this, Zhang Jin couldn't help laughing.
But before he could laugh for long, Zhu Ti spotted him and shouted, "Husband, save me!"
"Um?"
The three little hooligans were startled and turned their attention to Zhang Jin.
"Who are you?"
"Mad, what are you looking at, XXXX."
One of the hooligans came over with a baseball bat, and it seemed that he had no intention of giving Zhang Jin a chance to explain.
Zhang Jin considered himself a man who had seen a lot of storms, so there was no need for him to show weakness in front of these little hooligans.
Based on the principle that killing one is killing, killing three is also killing, Zhang Jin took out the small dagger he had prepared for Zhu Ti and skillfully stabbed it into the neck of the man in front of him.
The man covered his neck and blood continued to flow out from between his fingers.
"Ah, ah!! I was stabbed."
One of them was so frightened by the bloody scene that he retreated on the spot, while another person stepped forward and planned to fight with Zhang Jin.
The man hit Zhang Jin hard with two sticks, but the blows were not fatal. Zhang Jin used brute force to stab the man in the leg, then in the side abdomen and chest.
Zhang Jin stabbed the man four or five times in a row horizontally. The man vomited blood and fell to the ground, spitting out blood foam with every breath.
