In Kowloon Walled City, unfinished buildings abutted each other. Looking up, one gazed not at the sky but at scattered clothes drying racks. Sometimes, dirty water splashed from the upper floors landed in the corridor below, drawing a barrage of abuse from children playing with glass marbles. In the open lobby of a house, several unusual figures gathered, led by none other than the Chinese Chief Inspector Lei Luo.
After a meeting, everyone left in a bad mood. The main conflict was that Lei Luo advocated doing business in a law-abiding manner. Many big men from the old times were used to doing shady business. They dared not speak out because of Lei Luo's popularity, and secretly did some small things to make Lei Luo furious.
"What's wrong, Brother Luo? Today is not like your usual style." Zhuyouzai took the cigarette handed to him by Lei Luo.
"How did you handle Henry's incident on the set causing trouble?"
"The English are easy to get rid of if you pay them."
"I'm thinking about one thing. If you just invest in movies, the risk is too great. Nowadays, moviemakers only think about making money. I give them three million, but they only use 300,000 to make a movie." Lei Luo said with a smile.
Zhuyouzai smiled knowingly and said nothing more.
"How about we train our own actors and start a film company?"
"That's a good idea, Luo Ge, but we don't have the resources."
"If there is no one, then help one out. Look at me, I have helped so many big brothers over the years." Lei Luo said meaningfully.
"Okay, I'll help you find one." Zhuyouzai actually already had a suitable candidate in mind, but he still needed some research.
Over at the Wuxing compound, Wu Changyun, who had just woken up, looked at the dazzling light coming in through the window. Fu Shun's chubby face beside him was half covered with drool, and his rumbling snoring echoed in Wu Changyun's ears.
If it weren't for Fushun's snoring, I could probably sleep for another two or three hours.
"Hey, wake up." Wu Changyun patted Fushun's round face.
"Stop it!" Fushun said unhappily, scratching around with his hands.
"Okay, since you won't get up, I'll go to the set by myself."
"What set?"
Fushun sat up with a thud, wiped the drool from his face and said, "Come on, I'll go with you to take a look."
After saying that, he stood on the ground neatly, looked at his clothes, and urged: "Let's go, Brother Yun, what are you dawdling for?"
"Good fellow, he is really a man who will not do anything without profit."
Upon hearing this, Wu Changyun put his coat on his shoulders, and the two of them quietly slipped out of the compound.
"We're slipping away like this again. Will the master be angry if he finds out?" Fushun started muttering on the way.
"Do you think the master doesn't know? The old people just don't say it out loud." Wu Changyun also imitated a profound look and started to sell the lawsuit. He felt that the master's attitude should also change. The things of the older generation are the essence and cannot be forgotten, but new things will be the mainstream in the future.
"Is it possible? Why do I feel like Master doesn't know?"
Wu Changyun brought Fushun to the shooting site. The staff outside stopped them. Wu Changyun explained that they were both extras and gave Aliang's name before letting them in. Today's shooting site did not look as grand as yesterday. Wu Changyun had expected this in his heart. There must not be live performances every day.
Wu Changyun avoided the staff and looked around. He noticed that there were some martial arts characters in white shirts and black pants at the scene, but they all looked sad.
At the teahouse yesterday, the two found Aliang on the first floor. Aliang was busy communicating with the staff, and it seemed that there was something important.
"Brother Liang, do you have any work today?" Wu Changyun waited until A Liang turned his head naturally before speaking.
"I thought it was you who came here, Wu Changyun?" Aliang's eyes lit up when he saw Wu Changyun. Wu Changyun's amazing performance yesterday also earned Aliang a lot of face. Not only was he skilled and brave, but he also dared to confront the British. The news spread throughout the entire crew.
"Aliang, this is my senior brother. He came here today to ask for food."
"You're welcome." A Liang sighed, patted Wu Changyun on the shoulder and said, "It's not that I don't want to help, but we're all really stumped today. The team has installed a piece of equipment, and the martial arts people can't figure it out."
"Oh? What kind of equipment is this? So amazing?" Wu Changyun pretended to be interested. In fact, he had seen all kinds of equipment. Even if he had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs run.
"Oh, don't mention it. Just wait over there for a while. I'll call you later."
"Okay, Brother Liang." Wu Changyun agreed and took Fushun to the group of candidates.
"Brother Yun, I see that you have a good relationship with them. You've made a name for yourself just one day after going there. You're really talented. Tell me the truth, was your brain struck by lightning and suddenly became smart?" Fu Shun said nervously.
"You were struck by lightning. I relied on my strength."
"Yo yo yo, it all depends on strength. How much worse are we brothers than each other?"
"Well, it's okay, you can do it too." Wu Changyun saw that this was Fu Shun's first time on the set, and he felt a little nervous.
When the time came, Aliang stood in the crowd with a loud speaker and shouted, "We're going to be hanging on a tightrope soon. If you're afraid of heights, please let me know in advance and you can get a free lunch. If you're not afraid of heights and have good balance, please stand forward."
"Damn, I thought it was something else, it turns out to be a wire hanging." Wu Changyun was curious for nothing, it was just wearing a wire suit and performing some high-altitude actions, which was a common occurrence for Wu Changyun.
"What is wire hanging?" Fushun asked Wu Changyun with admiration.
"Have you ever seen a tightrope walker in a circus?"
"Are you going to play it that hard? Can you handle it?" Fushun asked a little guiltily.
