Chapter 006 Brother Nan, you really went out to make a living?
March 21, the Spring Equinox.
On the set of Xinbao Entertainment's (Curry and Chili) film, Su Nan was still helping out as a temporary worker alongside Da Pao Hui.
I also took the opportunity to observe and learn from the film crew's experience.
The production of this drama was also very efficient. It's said that if Bai Anni continues to be active for another two years, she will have to retire.
Now 27 years old, Sister Bai is at the peak of her charm, much more elegant and sophisticated than she was a few years ago.
What Su Nan didn't expect was that after the new round of filming began...
Zeng Aizi suddenly walked over along the route outside the filming area.
Old Zeng sized Su Nan up and down, then smiled and offered him a cigarette. "Handsome, are you free tonight?"
"I've been asked by someone to invite you to dinner and drinks so we can have a chat."
"Don't worry, I, Awei, will definitely not rip you off at the dinner party."
"If you're interested, I can also help you find a job as an assistant director."
Da Pao Hui, who was standing to the side, looked shocked when he heard this.
Zeng Aizi often appears in comedic roles, but he has also directed several blockbuster films.
He's even played leading roles before; you can tell how outrageous it is that someone with his looks could be the male lead.
His connections within the industry are extensive.
A year later, at the lavish banquet, almost the entire Hong Kong entertainment circle was present, with Tsang as the leading man.
He currently holds a very strong position in the industry.
Su Nan smiled. "Director Zeng invited me to dinner. What kind of conversation did you have?"
Zeng the Shorty said with a smile, "The way to make friends in the martial arts world is to organize gatherings."
"Some of the younger generation have offended Brother Nan, so I'm just testing the waters beforehand, apologizing, and trying to smooth things over."
"Of course, if Brother Nan doesn't like this fat guy, I don't care. I'm just running errands for him."
Hutchison boxing champion Qing has been posing for photos to keep warm for over four days.
There have certainly been other related developments as well.
Two years later, Jackie Chan and others launched a large-scale street protest, arguing that the scoundrels like Hutchison Whampoa, Sun Kee, and Shui Fong were doing things that had no bottom line.
To be frank, Ni Zhen is nothing special, just a playboy, but his father has a good relationship with Jin Yong and Lao Huang.
Su Nan nodded, "Okay, Director Zeng will have to spend money tonight."
He had a so-so impression of Zeng Aizi, but he wanted to successfully film various big movies.
Building a network of contacts early on makes it easier to spend money and build a group later.
In the early stages of development, attending dinners and drinking parties was a basic form of socializing.
After agreeing on a place and time, Lao Zeng left.
Da Pao Hui was stunned. "Holy crap, Brother Nan, you really went out into the world of gangsters?"
"You're so handsome and smart, don't commit a crime and get a criminal record that could restrict your career."
"If you have a poor foundation, it will be very difficult to immigrate in the future."
Southern Jiangsu, "..."
Why would he immigrate? To become a waste of talent in Europe and America?
……
Night fell as scheduled at a restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Su Nan arrived with Da Pao Hui, while Zeng Aizi was already waiting in the lobby on the first floor.
As he led the two upstairs to a private room, he laughed and said, "Brother Nan, truly a young hero."
"Today I'm not asking for any agreement or compromise, I just want to get to know this young hero."
"Let's make a good connection."
He also had a good relationship with another older brother, Rong, and they entered the private room while chatting and laughing.
To Su Nan and Da Pao Hui's great surprise, a beautiful woman named Rosamund Kwan was already sitting inside.
28-year-old Sister Guan lives up to her nickname, "Porcelain Doll".
She's now a tall, fair-skinned, and beautiful woman; her stunning looks are far more impactful than anything seen on the big screen.
As Lao Zeng closed the door, he greeted her with a smile, "Brother Nan, please sit down. I invited Zhizhi out to liven things up a bit."
"A hero paired with a beautiful woman, a handsome man and a beautiful woman make for a delightful meal."
Rosamund Kwan stood up to greet him, "Director Tsang, you're joking. And who is this Brother Nan?"
28-year-old Ms. Guan participated in "Tonight No Taboos" last year.
He responded very generously to most questions, saying he had tried everything.
Even after her divorce and being the mistress of a real estate and banking mogul, she still used her father's past connections to maintain her social circle.
Her fame and radio appearance fees were decent, and she didn't sign with any agency; she just worked independently.
Before the role of Aunt Thirteen in "Once Upon a Time in China" boosted her career, she didn't care whether the film contracts were good or bad, or whether the productions were shoddy.
As long as there are roles to play and money to be made, that's fine.
After leaving Lao Ma, she still doesn't know Fan Da Liu.
Liu was completely infatuated with Li Jiaxin during that period.
Last year, real estate mogul Ma married Siu Chi-lun after she became pregnant, almost making Rosamund Kwan the biggest joke in Hong Kong.
Even after Lao Ma remarried, he still frequently flirted with her, which made Rosamund Kwan furious.
Of course, she wasn't short of money, and not just anyone could join her; Old Zeng called her out to organize the gathering.
She was saying she'd introduce a really handsome and amazing guy; whether they'd have a simple meal together or develop into friends was entirely up to her.
As long as she attends social events, Lao Zeng will recommend projects to her in the future.
Rosamund Kwan's network of connections was cultivated by Hung Kam-po.
From Lucky Stars in Summer, The Millionaires Express, and The Brothers to Project A sequel.
She had already built a network of connections within the industry.
When Rosamund Kwan met Su Nan in person at the dinner party, she was quite surprised by his good looks.
But he's too young. Is this the formidable person Zeng the shorty was talking about?
Zeng the Shorty chuckled and pulled out a chair for him to sit down. "Zhizhi, don't underestimate Brother Nan. I heard he also wants to get into the industry and become a director?"
"There might be opportunities to cooperate in the future."
"Given Brother Nan's abilities, he shouldn't lack investment background."
Su Nan smiled and shook hands with Rosamund Kwan as she approached. "Director Zeng is exaggerating. I've only been on set two or three times and I don't know anything. I'm just starting to learn."
The four people took their seats one after another, and the food and drinks were served.
Zeng Aizi acted as the warm-up artist, keeping the conversation flowing, mainly about the film crew projects that are currently under construction and those that are about to start.
Then there are industry matters such as box office revenue and selling copyrights.
This includes mentioning that Rosamund Kwan will soon be starring in a project involving money laundering.
To put it bluntly, if Su Nan wanted to learn directing experience, he could arrange a dinner party for Yuan Heping.
Assistant directors are just errand runners for the director and assistant directors.
Rosamund Kwan enthusiastically chimed in, "Brother Nan, you're so beautiful and have such a great figure. I'd definitely love to work with you in the same group someday."
She had tried everything.
She is not promiscuous; the 28-year-old woman still possesses captivating charm.
She wouldn't even look at someone like Zeng Aizi, who was scammed by a real estate and banking company a few years ago.
Right now, she's simply curious about just how powerful and influential Su Nan really is.
Su Nan chuckled, "Director Zeng, Sister Zhi, please stop praising me. I'm just an ordinary citizen who's just gotten to the edge of the industry."
"It takes two or three years of study before I have the opportunity to direct my first film."
Afterwards, we ate, chatted, and then went to sing karaoke.
After the event ended around 11 p.m., Su Nan and Da Pao Hui left together.
Outside a nightclub, Rosamund Kwan looked bewildered. "Wait, they took a taxi and left? Director Zeng, this Brother Nan?"
Zeng Aizi shook his head speechlessly, "I don't know the specifics, I only know that Ni Zhen from the Ni family offended him and is now quite devastated."
"Old Ni asked me to pull some strings, and once the relationship is established, I'll ask him to buy some things."
"The four talented scholars have a good relationship; they'll give up on the Ni family for Jin Huang's sake."
Anyway, this isn't something that Brother Da Rong can easily resolve by force.
Otherwise, why would Lao Zeng organize a dinner party?
Rosamund Kwan looked disheveled in the night wind. Ni Zhen? Bought something back?
Let her sort it out: male celebrities are being forced to take on roles and film movies, but what about female celebrities?
The guy from the Ni family wasn't really in the industry; he just used his connections to pick up girls.
They're far from being qualified to give you several book contracts and force you to play the lead role to make money.
Andy Lau is the kind of actor who can make millions in box office revenue no matter how good or bad his work is, as long as he plays the lead role.
Zeng Aizi sighed again, "Last year he was a top student in Form 7 who got all A's, and now he's suddenly the eldest brother? I'm quite curious too."
Rosamund Kwan was flustered again, gave a casual greeting, and got into a taxi and left.
A student with top grades in all subjects is indeed a talented individual; instead of becoming a lawyer, he could have gone to police academy and directly become an inspector.
The triad can mess with celebrities and actors at will, but they dare not easily offend police inspectors.
