"I haven't seen you since you came here."
Hua An was very enthusiastic. It was indeed Zhang Jin that he recommended to Liu Che. The reason was very simple. It was rare to find a villain as handsome as Zhang Jin in a Category III film, so it would be a good idea to use him as an actor.
"Have we met before?"
Hua An shook his head. This "Hua An" was actually a pseudonym, and he hardly ever told anyone his real name.
"I've seen the works you've filmed. Are those images of you real?" Hua An asked.
The word "real" is a bit ambiguous because there are no realistic character images.
After all, everything on the screen is fake.
But what Hua An really cares about is whether Zhang Jin is pretending deliberately. You know, some actors are born to be suitable for certain images. The experiences and mentality of these actors are also different from ordinary people, and they have unusual experiences.
"It might be a bit of an exaggeration to say this, but I think you are really suitable for those roles. I can even say that those roles were originally arranged for you."
When Hua An said this, Liu Che was shocked.
Thinking about Zhang Jin’s actions when he came in just now, is this guy really planning to use that hammer to attack him?
The more Liu Che thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he decided to go out.
Just as Liu Che was about to stand up, Hua An asked, "What's wrong? We haven't finished discussing our business yet."
"I'm going to the bathroom."
Liu Che thought that no one would question this reason.
"This is inappropriate." Hua An suddenly said unexpectedly.
Liu Che was a little angry. He had always disliked Zhang Jin, and now Hua An was also making trouble. He even stopped him from going to the toilet. He must be crazy.
"What's inappropriate about this?"
"I'm doing this for your own good."
Hua An said in a low voice.
The other two also realized that Hua An was extraordinary. Liu Che only knew that Hua An was a very talented screenwriter, and many of his works were big sellers.
But this was also what his superiors told him, but he had never heard anyone mention what Hua An had done.
"What kind of work are you doing now?"
"Doing odd jobs, being a stagehand, and being an assistant." Zhang Jin said without hesitation, because he felt that Liu Che in front of him would help him.
Hua An glared at Liu Che, the meaning of which naturally needed no explanation.
"What's wrong? If you have any opinions, you can tell your boss. I'm just following the procedures."
Hua An ignored Liu Che and turned to Zhang Jin and said, "Just follow me from now on. I will definitely make you famous."
After saying that, Hua An took Liu Che out of the office.
"You're still popular. You're crazy. A crazy person is looking for a crazy person." Liu Che cursed.
Cursing behind his mother's back was already a very mild offense. Judging from his performance just now, he could even fire Zhang Jin on the spot. He did have the right to do so, but considering Hua An's attitude just now, he was afraid that he would obstruct him.
"What a damn guy, it's better to stay away from me."
Liu Che breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Jin followed Hua An all the way in a daze, not knowing exactly where they were going.
"You were about to hit him, right? Put that down."
Hua An brought Zhang Jin to a storage room where they were the only two people and the room was filled with various props.
Zhang Jin glanced at the hammer in his hand. He knew that the guy in front of him was not afraid of him. The hammer didn't even seem to be a useful self-defense tool, so Zhang Jin put down the hammer.
This was the first time Zhang Jin had encountered such a person. When ordinary people encountered violence or threats, they would either scream for help or call the police immediately.
Zhang Jin and Hua An had never met each other before. Not only did the other party help him divert attention from Liu Che, he also almost covered up the entire incident.
When he returned to Hong Kong this time, Zhang Jin became different from before, and he also met a series of strange people he had never seen before.
The previous Zhu Ti was enough to make him puzzled, and now there is Hua An.
"Why are you helping me?"
"Help you? I'm not that kind. You're being foolish. People here are either in it for money or for fame. No one would help a stranger for no reason. Of course, they think it's profitable."
"I?"
"Well, I can see that you might be the same type of guy as the one I met earlier."
"You met him before?"
"That's right, but you're even more destitute and inferior than them. But I can see that you're even more ruthless than them. I need someone who's brave enough to be ruthless to help me."
Hua An's words made Zhang Jin very interested. Could it be that the other party wanted to find a thug? Then he really chose the wrong person.
Although Zhang Jin has changed his appearance, at least he will not become someone else's thug.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you one day?"
"Did it?"
Hua An was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that Zhang Jin was a rather fierce guy, but hearing what he said sounded like the tone that only a man with several lives on his hands could say.
Indeed, Zhang Jin is a desperado, and a very vicious one at that.
He still remembered the fight with the monster-like guy in the airport bathroom, the female reporter who was tortured to death by them, and the wealth he once had.
All of this was lost because he acted on impulse.
So this time, Zhang Jin became much more restrained than before. At least he would not openly do those shady businesses, although making third-level films was not a good business.
But at least, many people did it.
Hua An felt that he had really found a treasure. Of course, it was also possible that it was not a treasure, but a time bomb.
"So what can I gain?"
"I can make you money and become a star."
"Can you do it?" Zhang Jin didn't quite believe the guy in front of him. Not only was his brain a little bit off, but he also talked nonsense.
"Of course I can. I wouldn't fool anyone but a dangerous guy like you. You may not have heard of me, but you may have seen my work."
But no matter how Zhang Jin questioned Hua An, he refused to tell who he was or what his so-called works were.
Because this is Hua An's biggest secret. According to him, he offended a very powerful guy, which prevented him from working outside under his own name, let alone signing his new work.
Zhang Jin nodded, but he didn't think the guy in front of him was someone worth cooperating with. He simply thought what he said was a joke.
But in his current situation, as long as he doesn't go back there to be an assistant, it would be considered a good choice.
Moreover, it seems that Hua An has some status in the Shao family, at least he can be on par with Liu Che.
