Chapter 109: Making a pornographic film?
Zhou Runfa said quickly: "Brother Hao, it's all my fault for not explaining it clearly. He called me recently not to borrow money, but to ask me to find him some crews to work with."
"Ever since he became in debt to loan sharks, TVB has put him on ice. No production crew dared to use him. The only ones willing to give him a chance were those producing pornographic films. One of the most outrageous ones was a bestiality-themed one..."
Man-animal?
As soon as these words were spoken, a picture emerged in Lin Zehao's mind. It was a fat man with a red face and a black and white mare beside him.
"You know, you have three poisons all working together, and I don't have any antidote. If you don't get on the horse, you will bleed from all seven orifices. I'll leave this mare to you..."
"Why so fast?"
"It's a beast, it has no feelings. How long are you going to let me do this?"
"Just finish it as soon as possible and release the poison, what else do you want?"
After thinking of this scene, Lin Zehao suddenly felt a chill and quickly threw the thought out of his mind.
"I have to go to England recently, so I'm afraid I don't have time to deal with Wu Mengda's affairs personally."
"I can ask my men to go to Taiwan, or after I return from England, I will go to Taiwan to deal with some things, and I can help you solve this matter while I'm there."
"Two paths, choose for yourself."
Lin Zehao has sent people to collect information about the British Rediffusion Voice. After learning that the other party has begun to intend to sell shares, a trip to the UK needs to be put on the agenda.
Only after becoming a major shareholder of Radisson was Lin Zehao able to take over Rediffusion Television, one of the only two free television stations in Hong Kong.
And this step will play a crucial role in his future development!
Not only can it achieve diversified development of its industries, but the most important thing is to gain the high ground of public opinion and have a voice to speak out!
You have to know that in this era when even mobile phones were not popular, let alone the Internet, there were only two channels for the public to express their opinions: one was paper media such as newspapers and magazines, and the other was television media such as TV stations.
Of the two, television stations definitely have greater influence, especially free-to-air television stations.
Because there is always a certain threshold for reading print media, at least you need to be able to read, but there is no such concern when watching TV, even illiterate people can sit there and have fun.
The social influence of free TV stations is indispensable to Lin Zehao's transformation!
Compared with this, Wu Mengda’s affairs naturally have to be put on the back burner.
"Brother Hao, do you think this will work? Isn't our company going to start a few new projects?"
"If there is a suitable role, can Mengda come to play it? If there is no suitable role, you can also let him come to the crew to do odd jobs, such as stage management."
"I think that Hutchison Entertainment has your reputation as a shield, and those loan sharks will definitely not dare to cause trouble. It will be enough to wait until you return from the UK."
After weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Runfa finally chose the second path.
For an outsider like him, he subconsciously feels that this kind of thing should be handled by a big shot with a bigger name and a more famous reputation, as the effect will be better.
Moreover, both publicly and privately, Chow Yun-fat believed that Ng Man-tat still had unique qualities in acting, and he also wanted to bring him to the company.
But given Wu Mengda's current situation, it was not easy for him to ask Lin Zehao for help. As his boss, he had helped him so much without saying a word. If he made any more requests, it would be really ungrateful.
"No need to go through so much trouble. Take Wu Mengda to Nansheng and get an artist contract."
"Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. It's okay to give him a chance. I'll deal with the rest after I come back from England."
"But remember, you only have this one chance. If he can't change his gambling habit, I will never care about him again." Lin Zehao patted Zhou Runfa on the shoulder and said.
Lin Zehao is quite optimistic about Wu Mengda. He is a golden supporting actor with good acting skills. Especially after he met a specific partner, the combination of the two created an era.
In addition, Chow Yun-fat resolutely joined Hutchison Entertainment despite Shaw Brothers' repeated attempts to retain him, so Lin Zehao certainly could not stand by and watch him fail.
"Thank you, Brother Hao."
Zhou Runfa's eyes were moist, his voice even trembled slightly, and his heart was filled with emotion.
He knew that according to market value, Wu Mengda was not qualified to join Hutchison Entertainment. It was almost the same when he was popular. According to the businessman's thinking, Lin Zehao was losing money by doing this.
In this regard, Zhou Runfa could only sigh that the rumors in the underworld were true, and Shenghe Weilong was indeed a man of affection and righteousness.
After getting Lin Zehao's promise, Zhou Runfa got off the car halfway, immediately found a roadside telephone booth, and called Wu Mengda.
After dialing the number, the call was connected after just one ring.
"Afa? How's it going?"
At this moment, Wu Mengda was in Taiwan, hiding in a shabby room, holding a microphone in his hand, trying to lower his voice, his face full of anxiety and pain.
During this period, he was in a very difficult situation because of the debt collectors from the society, and he had to hide everywhere.
He wanted to buy a boat ticket back to Hong Kong Island, but the other party refused to let him go and insisted on forcing him to shoot a pornographic film.
"Don't worry, Brother Hao agreed."
"And Brother Hao also specifically told you that you can join Hutchison Entertainment."
Zhou Runfa first said a few words of comfort, and then recounted Lin Zehao's words.
In an instant, Wu Mengda on the other end of the phone was in tears. He covered his mouth tightly, his shoulders shaking constantly, and he was crying silently.
When he had just graduated from the wireless training class, he successfully got a contract with TVB. There were only seven people in that class who received such treatment.
Not long after his debut, he got the second male lead in "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", "Drunk Cat" Hu Tiehua.
After the show was broadcast, Wu Mengda became an instant hit and began to become addicted to the thrill brought by gambling.
In just a few years, Wu Mengda experienced great ups and downs in his life.
When he became famous, a bunch of people surrounded him and served him well.
When I was feeling lonely, I looked around in confusion and found that all my former friends had left me, and I couldn’t find anyone I could rely on.
Only Zhou Runfa extended a helping hand to him.
Of course, there is also Lin Zehao who saved his life.
For Wu Mengda, joining Hutchison Entertainment not only means a job and money, but also a life-saving talisman.
With the reputation of Yousheng and Weilong, the guys from Taiwan didn't dare to come to collect the debt.
For Lin Zehao, it may be just a matter of words, but for Wu Mengda, it is no less than the grace of rebirth!
Wu Mengda's fate has reached a turning point at this moment!
At this time, Zhou Runfa's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Mengda, are you okay?"
Wu Mengda took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, put aside all the thoughts, and said with confidence: "Afa, thank you."
"Also, please thank Brother Hao for me. From now on, my life belongs to Brother Hao. I will work hard in filming and making money for the company."
"I will never gamble again, I swear to God."
Only when people are at their lowest point can they truly see the value of friendship and family.
After this incident, Wu Mengda learned a lot and is about to usher in a new life.
"Okay, you still have a chance to tell Brother Hao in person if you want to thank him."
"When are you going back to Hong Kong Island? I'll drive to pick you up."
At this time, Wu Mengda heard some rustling sounds, as if they came from the door.
