Chapter 0216: How About It?

In fact, many times, the art of conversation varies from person to person.

Take Andy Lau, for instance. Under normal circumstances, if Zhao Fusheng chatted with him and tried to lead him into a trap, it would be nearly impossible. After all, Lau had navigated the entertainment industry for so many years and built a great reputation. No matter how you looked at it, even if Zhao Fusheng were a reborn man, Lau would have nothing to fear from him.

But unfortunately, today Lau was clearly preoccupied, or rather, not in the right state of mind, which was why he was being led around by the nose by Zhao Fusheng.

Glancing at Zhao Fusheng, Andy Lau smiled and said, “Planner Zhao, it seems you were well prepared.”

Zhao Fusheng nodded. “To be honest, after I wrote it, I felt that this script was perfect for you.”

Andy Lau was silent for a long moment, then finally said with a bitter smile, “I feel like the villain suits me better, don’t you think?”

Zhao Fusheng burst out laughing. Looking seriously at Andy Lau, he said, “Honestly, I didn’t intend to write it that way, but I think you’re more suited for that role, aren’t you?”

“Yeah, at first I wanted to play the undercover cop, but now I feel that maybe the other role fits me better.” Andy Lau looked at Zhao Fusheng and said calmly, “If, I mean if, I gave you some time, could you adapt this ad script into a movie script?”

Zhao Fusheng didn’t speak, just smiled gently, a smile that even left Andy Lau a bit at a loss.

Actually, when he said that, the question on Zhao Fusheng’s mind wasn’t whether he could adapt the ad into a movie. For Zhao Fusheng, that wasn’t a difficult task at all. When he wrote the ad plan, he had already considered the movie aspect.

What worried him now was the issue of Andy Lau’s role.

Simply put, if Andy Lau played the positive role in the ad, then in the movie, how would he play the villainous undercover gangster?

Thinking this over, Zhao Fusheng hesitated.

Little did he know, his hesitation gave Andy Lau the wrong impression, making him think Zhao Fusheng was holding out for a better offer.

With that in mind, Andy Lau gritted his teeth and said to Zhao Fusheng, “Planner Zhao, if you agree, I’m willing to offer you a price for this script that will definitely satisfy you.”

At that time, the Hong Kong film market was much more prosperous than the mainland market, and screenwriters naturally had a better life. Just from script fees, you could see that a top screenwriter’s script could easily sell for a sky-high price of millions of Hong Kong dollars, which was unimaginable in the mainland.

Hearing Andy Lau’s words, Zhao Fusheng chuckled softly and looked at him, saying, “Brother Hua, I’ll say something you might not like to hear. Maybe you think a script fee is a lot, but for me, it’s not that appealing. After all, I’m an ad planner, not a screenwriter.”

Andy Lau was taken aback, then nodded with a wry smile. Zhao Fusheng was right. Although a movie script could make a lot of money, the problem was that Zhao Fusheng was now a top ad planner. With that reputation alone, countless advertisers would be waving checks at his door, hoping to get his Midas touch.

In comparison, Andy Lau thought, Zhao Fusheng probably didn’t need to step into the film industry.

“Brother Hua, actually, what I’m considering isn’t the script issue, but your role problem.” Zhao Fusheng smiled lightly and said to Andy Lau.

Andy Lau was stunned, then listened as Zhao Fusheng explained his concerns, finally saying helplessly, “I didn’t think of this problem at first. You just brought it up, and now I realize it’s quite troublesome.”

Hearing this, Andy Lau laughed. “You’re overthinking it. This isn’t a problem at all. It doesn’t matter. No one will care about that.”

He paused and winked. “Who knows, maybe everyone will love the contrast even more.”

Since he said that, Zhao Fusheng had to nod. But honestly, he hadn’t thought of that point. After all, he wasn’t in the entertainment industry and didn’t know enough about these things.

“How about this: after we finish shooting this ad, we’ll have a good talk.” Andy Lau said sincerely to Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng agreed, and the two of them tentatively set a cooperative intention.

Just then, the director sent someone to call Andy Lau to change clothes. Zhao Fusheng watched the Heavenly King leave, sat there, and smiled contentedly.

“In a good mood?” Zhou Feifei’s voice sounded. Zhao Fusheng turned around and saw her standing not far behind him in casual attire.

“What’s up? Don’t you need to shoot?” Zhao Fusheng smiled and said to Zhou Feifei.

Zhou Feifei nodded. “They’re shooting the male lead’s scenes first. Mine will come later.”

Ad shooting is different from TV or film shooting; it’s just a matter of switching between a few scenes. Moreover, Zhao Fusheng’s script was already in a storyboard format, making it particularly easy to shoot.

In other words, he had already treated this as a rehearsal for the movie.

“Sister Hua didn’t come with you?” Zhao Fusheng looked around but didn’t see Wang Jinghua, finding it a bit strange. After all, she was known as the nanny agent. With two big stars under her, Andy Lau and Zhou Feifei, shooting for him, Wang Jinghua’s absence was quite surprising to Zhao Fusheng.

Zhou Feifei chuckled lightly. “She went to help arrange some commercial events here. You didn’t think Andy Lau and I flew all the way here just to shoot your ad for free, did you?”

Hearing this, Zhao Fusheng felt a bit embarrassed. After all, both Andy Lau and Zhou Feifei were endorsing Aipu phones for free.

Although the reasons were complicated, to a large extent, it was because of his plan.

“Ahem, you can’t say that. Didn’t I also keep your secret?” Zhao Fusheng winked at Zhou Feifei and smiled.

Zhou Feifei was taken aback, then glared at Zhao Fusheng. “You…”

“It’s nothing. Everyone has their own hobbies. It’s normal.” Zhao Fusheng shook his head. “I understand you.”

In his view, Zhou Feifei probably liked drinking because of stress. But her habit of blacking out after drinking too much was quite peculiar.

A woman like that could be a friend, but definitely not a girlfriend. Only a lunatic would like a woman who frequently binges and ends up a mess.

“Alright, you’re a good guy, pretty interesting.” Zhou Feifei paused, then gave Zhao Fusheng a radiant smile. “If you’re free tonight, let’s have a drink together.”

“Ahem…” Zhao Fusheng coughed dryly, then shook his head helplessly. “Sorry, I don’t drink.”

Huh?

This time, it was Zhou Feifei’s turn to be dumbfounded.

“Am I being rejected?” At that moment, only this thought remained in Zhou Feifei’s mind.
