"Chang Yun, how is your filming going now? It must be hard to get along out there." The master walked into the rental house. Because it was a partition, the lights in the corridor were very dim.
"Master, be careful." Wu Changyun helped his master over the threshold.
"You guys are living here, is the environment okay?" The master looked around the old decoration of the house.
"It's okay, Fushun and I don't care about this too much."
"Alas, what a pity! Why don't you go back to the courtyard?" The master hesitated, waved his hand and said, "Well, you made the choice yourself, so you should have thought about these issues.
"Yes, I understand." Wu Changyun squatted beside his master out of filial piety. Fu Shun beside him laughed foolishly and couldn't help saying, "What's the point of going back? What's the future of acting with you?"
Upon hearing this, the master glared at Fushun fiercely and cursed, "You two are crammed into a place like this, and you insist on filming a foreign movie. Do you think you have a future? They're treating you like monkeys."
"Master, I'm doing this for your and my fellow apprentices' good. Movies aren't what you think they are now. Besides, Brother Yun is not only an actor, he's also a director, making movies with a team." Fushun was also anxious. Why would he give up such a good career as making movies and choose to act in a drama?
"Evil man, tell me, how much money have you made since filming that movie?" The master knew that Wu Changyun was the backbone, so he turned to him and said.
Considering the actor's salary Zhuyouzai offered him, and considering that he was now also a director, it must have been a figure that his master would find unbelievable. Wu Changyun awkwardly tried to smooth things over, saying, "I haven't received a penny yet."
The master spread his hands and said, "That's it. I didn't even get a penny."
Fushun wanted to continue arguing, but Wu Changyun gave him a look and told him to speak less.
The master was in no mood now, so the two men had to see him out. Just as they sent the master downstairs, they turned around and ran into a group of people arguing with the landlady.
"What are you so arrogant about? Property management fees, grandma? You don't have to pay for living here?" The leader was a middle-aged fat man named Chang Sihu, who had been roaming around with three or two younger brothers for years.
"All the property management staff have run away, and we still have to pay the property management fees?"
"Grandma, don't think I'm afraid of you. I came last time because there were so many of you. This time everyone has gone to work, so I'll start with your household." Chang Sihu knocked hard on the door frame with his hand.
Wu Changyun glanced up and saw four people in total. Two of them looked skinny and would be knocked down by one punch.
"What's the matter, grandma?" Wu Changyun asked.
"It's none of your business. Don't get involved, or you'll get beaten." Chang Sihu saw that the two men were young and strong, so he wanted to scare them and get the matter over with.
Wu Changyun originally wanted to wait until the explanation was clear before speaking, but since the other party had started the attack in advance, there was no reason to escape.
"I'm telling you, I'm a gangster around here. Be careful or I'll get someone to chop you up at night." Chang Sihu pointed at Wu Changyun and said menacingly.
Although Fushun had never encountered these local tyrants, he stepped forward to stop Wu Changyun. People like them are like dog-skin plasters. If you drive them away, they will come back again tomorrow. If you encounter a vicious one, there is no need to fight with such social scum.
"Hit me? Who do you think I am?"
Wu Changyun didn't say anything. He pushed Fu Shun aside and shot a cannon at Chang Sihu's face. The other party staggered for a second and then fell down.
When Fushun saw Wu Changyun taking action, he didn't say anything. After just two gestures, the three thugs in front of him all ran away in panic.
Wu Changyun and Fushun carried Chang Sihu to the rooftop, and Wu Changyun sat on the rooftop, waiting for Chang Sihu to wake up.
After a while, Chang Sihu opened his eyes dazedly. The first thing he saw was his feet dangling in the air and the corridor below the building, which was more than ten meters high. Chang Sihu staggered in shock, but fortunately Fu Shun grabbed him from behind and helped him steady himself.
"Don't panic, as long as you don't act weird, neither of us will fall." Wu Changyun sat next to Chang Sihu, and the two were almost body to body.
"Okay, okay!" Chang Sihu wanted to pull his legs back, but Wu Changyun put his arm around his shoulders and stopped him.
"Boss, what do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything, but I know you all very well. I drive you away today, but you will come back tomorrow. There will always be a time when both of us are not together."
"Do you see the people down there? There are at least a thousand residents in this building right below us. If I give you ten dollars per person, that would be ten thousand dollars. Ten thousand dollars can do a lot of things. Sometimes it can even save a whole family." Wu Changyun stood up, and Fushun continued to force Chang Sihu to sit on the edge of the rooftop with his feet.
"You have to pay for what you have done, and today is the day. There is a saying called reincarnation. If there is a next life, what do you plan to do?" Wu Changyun stood behind Chang Sihu, looking at his back which was trembling with fear.
"No, no!" Chang Sihu shouted as Fushun kicked him down.
"I want to be a good person, a good person!" Chang Sihu was still flapping in the air, and Fushun grabbed the rope and pulled him back again.
The three of them sat on the rooftop again. Wu Changyun and Fushun found it funny and laughed non-stop. Chang Sihu was frightened by what had just happened and broke out in a cold sweat. The two people in front of him were definitely not the soft persimmons he had met before. At this moment, Chang Sihu had a feeling that as long as these two people wanted, they could throw him off the rooftop again anytime and anywhere.
"Brother, big brother." Chang Sihu also smiled foolishly along with the two of them.
This method was thought up by Wu Changyun on the spur of the moment. Many stunts on the set require ropes, and Wu Changyun knows how to use ropes well, so there will naturally be no accidents.
"With the help of us two brothers, you have died once. Have you ever thought about what to do next?" Wu Changyun saw Chang Sihu's final reaction and knew that he was not a vicious person. After all, teaching people to be good is a good thing.
"I was too confused before, too confused." Chang Sihu slapped his thigh and touched his forehead, as if he understood everything.
Wu Changyun didn't know whether he was pretending or had really had an epiphany, but he knew very well that if he didn't quit those bad habits, Chang Sihu would go back to his old ways after he ran out of money. It's not easy for people to change.
"You should have received some money. I will show you a way forward and guarantee that you will open stores all over Hong Kong. Do you want to do it?"
"What business?"
“Selling fried chicken, French fries, and burgers.”
"What is it?" Chang Sihu asked in confusion.
"It's not too late to open an American self-service fast food restaurant now, and it's considered early, so you will definitely make a lot of money." Wu Changyun said with a smile. McDonald's only entered Hong Kong in 1975.
"My father used to run a tea restaurant, and my cooking skills are pretty good." Chang Sihu answered quickly. Chang Sihu also noticed the popularity of American fast food, but he had never regarded it as an opportunity to make money. He just followed the trend and thought fried chicken burgers were delicious. When Wu Changyun mentioned this, it was like he was suddenly enlightened.
"Tea restaurants will be out of business in the future, but fried chicken and hamburger shops will be very popular. Do you want to try it?"
"Do it! American stuff is promising, this is promising." Chang Sihu clapped his hands and cheered.
