Chen Zheng stayed at Jin Shengshui's house for another night.
On the one hand, Jin Shengshui's mother has just been rescued and her condition is not very stable. She needs Chen Zheng to monitor her condition and rescue her at any time. On the other hand, Chen Zheng said that the disaster star of Jin Shengshui would not pass until the early morning of the next day.
???????????????????????????????????????? From the beginning, this was simply an excuse for Chen Zheng to defraud him of money and water in order to get close to him. Now that Jin Shengshui was willing to cooperate, Chen Zheng spent half a day and one night discussing with him how to plot against Deng Zikun.
Of course, it also includes how Jin Shengshui should seize Deng Zikun's dock business in various places in Xianggang after Jin Shengshui is finished, and give him some benefits.
Finally, when Chen Zheng left early the next morning, the two parties had reached a consensus and the plan had taken shape. They just waited for a suitable time to start taking action.
After returning to the hotel, I rested for another day, and the next day, it was finally the day of the Academy Awards ceremony.
It turns out that the two rounds of voting by the jury have been completed, but only the results have not been made public. That night, the awards ceremony was held at the Xianggang Cultural Center, and the red carpet was brightly lit with stars.
Of course, the level of starlight is not as good as the Hollywood Oscars, and the number of films is also smaller.
With fewer films, the awards are naturally more concentrated. Take Chen Zheng's "Tai Chi" as an example, it received a total of 11 nominations, and in the end, it actually included Best Film, Best Actor, Best Actress, Seven awards including Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Action Design, and Best Visual Effects!
Feng Guoan was already grinning from ear to ear. This movie has achieved good results both overseas and in China, on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and it can be described as very successful.
After the award ceremony, there was a celebratory cocktail party at midnight. All crew members, including Chen Zheng, Mei Xi, Feng Guoan, etc., all participated.
Everyone can see Chen Zheng¡¯s dazzling stardom. At the reception, countless celebrities, producers, and directors took the initiative to chat with Chen Zheng.
For example, the middle-aged man in front of you is holding a goblet. He stepped forward very gentlemanly and said: "Hello, Mr. Chen Zheng, I am the production director of Xianggang Emperor Film. My surname is Liu."
After sending the business card, the man said: "We, Emperor Films, are one of the most well-known film companies in Hong Kong. We have a plan for an action film recently, and we are interested in cooperating with you, Mr. Chen Zheng. Please take the lead in this film." As for the male lead in the movie, the salary is less than 10 million. Is Mr. Chen Zheng interested? "
"Only tens of millions?" Before Chen Zheng could say anything, Mei Xi said first, "You must not be able to hire our big names."
"Miss Mei Xi's previous salary has reached more than 10 million, I know this. But Mr. Chen Zheng has just become famous, and the movie is just this one. I'm afraid the salary for this movie is not high, right? Now it will go up. At the level of tens of millions, is Mr. Chen Zheng still not satisfied?" the producer guessed.
Mei Xi smiled: "I'm afraid you don't know, Director Liu, that just for the movie "Tai Chi", my salary was much worse than Mr. Chen Zheng."
"Miss Mei Xi is joking." Director Liu didn't believe it.
¡°Actually, Mei Xi didn¡¯t lie. You must know the contract that Chen Zheng signed with Feng Guoan. It¡¯s a 5% theater dividend.
The film "Tai Chi" has a global box office revenue of at least one billion US dollars to this day. Five percent of a billion, that is, 50 million, 50 million, is also US dollars.
Then convert it through the exchange rate. Equivalent to nearly 320 million yuan.
After briefly describing these, Producer Liu was stunned for a while.
"This is based on the current situation. Based on experience, it will increase by one liter. After all, there are not so many pirated copies abroad. In the future, the DVD rental and sales business will still be worth at least tens of millions of yuan." Mei Xi Smiling slightly: "Director Liu, your film company wants to cooperate with Mr. Chen Zheng, can you afford such a high price?"
"This" Director Liu hesitated for a long time.
Five percent of the box office share is indeed not a small amount.
You must know that most of the box office share of domestic movies now has to be divided by the theaters, and then each investor will get another share. There is not much left. Sometimes the film company can only get a share of more than ten percent. Even lower.
If it¡¯s only 5% for the male protagonist, the probability of the film losing money is much greater.
Director Liu couldn¡¯t help but admire Feng Guoan from One Vision Film Company for being so generous and daring to betAt least he didn't dare to take this risk alone.
It would be easier if the risks were shared. Director Liu thought for a long time and then said: "I didn't expect that the value of Mr. Chen Zheng's first movie would be so high, so I really didn't dare to invite him rashly. But Chen Zheng Sir, your movie has such good momentum, you will definitely follow up and make another movie, right?"
Chen Zheng nodded: "That's right, Kung Fu movies, I think I will continue to make them, but I think I will still cooperate with Univision Pictures."
"Oh my, it's such a pity that I can't cooperate directly with you, Mr. Chen Zheng." Director Liu said this and moved his eyes to Feng Guoan on the other side of Chen Zheng: "I didn't know that Mr. Feng, you have already cooperated with Mr. Chen Zheng. After signing the agreement, I took the liberty of poaching. Please forgive me, Mr. Feng. Although I cannot directly cooperate with Mr. Chen Zheng, I am interested in investing in your new film. What do you think, Mr. Feng? "
Feng Guoan smiled and said: "To be honest, Director Liu, we do have plans for a new film. If a big company like Emperor is interested in investing, that would be great. But I can't make the decision on this matter, you I¡¯d also like to ask Mr. Chen Zheng.¡±
"Oh?" Director Liu did not respond: "Although Mr. Chen Zheng has extraordinary box office appeal, shouldn't it be the senior management of the film company who talks about investment?"
"That's right. I'm afraid you don't know, Director Liu, that Mr. Chen Zheng is not only the leading actor in our film, but he is also the largest shareholder of our only Vision Film Company. He only authorized it to me. He is also the largest shareholder of our company. To manage.¡±
Feng Guoan is right to say this. You must know that since returning to Canghai City after the Oscars in the United States, Chen Zheng began to acquire the One Vision Pictures Company.
After defeating Liu Dahai, the richest man in Canghai City, Chen Zheng has become the only boss of Vision Film Company worthy of the name.
It¡¯s just that he doesn¡¯t care about anything and still lets Feng Guoan run the company. But in the final analysis, the company belongs to Chen Zheng at this time.
I heard these inside stories. Director Liu was amazed again and again.
At first, he thought that no matter how powerful Chen Zheng was, it was just a matter of effort and chance. I became very popular all of a sudden, but as an actor, I don¡¯t know who will have such an opportunity. But no matter how much he earns, it can't compare to what the movie company earns.
It was only then that I realized that Chen Zheng was so powerful and was already the big boss of the film company. No wonder his new film would be cooperating with Univision Pictures.
"Mr. Chen Zheng, I'm sorry! Why don't we talk about future investment and cooperation plans?" Director Liu became more enthusiastic.
"We can't talk about cooperation, but I don't want to pay attention to it. I'll give you a number. You can call her." After that, Chen Zheng told Director Liu Bai Rou's phone number: "This is my As my assistant, all my business is coordinated and arranged by her.¡±
Then Chen Zheng said: "In addition, I have one more thing. I want to remind Director Liu."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"I will make a new kung fu movie, but I don't know when, because my time is very busy. I may go to Africa next month to rescue African refugees. As for when I will be free When it comes to making a movie, you really can¡¯t tell. If Director Liu wants to invest, he must think clearly first, so as not to be unable to finish the film in a short while, which will affect the capital flow of your company," Chen Zheng said.
To rescue refugees in Africa? Can you make money from this? It seems that not only is it not making money, but it is also losing money, right? Director Liu feels increasingly confused about what the rich and powerful think today.
¡¡
In fact, Chen Zheng didn't like gatherings like this, so although the celebration party didn't last too long, he left Feng Guoan and other crew members behind, while he took Mei Xi back to the hotel.
On the way, Mei Xi drove and said, "Actually, the celebration banquet tonight was quite good. Why are you in such a hurry to go back? At least Deng Zikun didn't show up."
Mei Xi¡¯s character is greedy and loves to drink and have fun. She must prefer this kind of occasion, which is completely different from Chen Zheng.
¡°That is to say, Mei Xi is beautiful, and she must have a lot of money, otherwise, the two of them definitely belong to different worlds and will not come together.
In fact, there are very few common topics. Apart from talking about male and female topics, and then talking about movies, the only intersection is Deng Zikun.
Seeing Mei Xi mention Deng Zikun, Chen Zheng asked, "Has Deng Zikun harassed you again these days?"
"Why not? That old pervert has been sending me text messages these days. Some of them are disgusting and some are threatening."? meaning. "Mei Xi said: "In addition, these days, I have received a lot of anonymous threatening text messages. Although they did not say it was Deng Zikun, I can tell with my toes that it was Deng Zikun who did it. "
Chen Zheng also believes this.
Deng Zikun sent text messages anonymously not because he was afraid that Mei Xi would know. You know what Deng Zikun is like. If he fails to achieve his goal, he will naturally use threats. The only thing he worries about is that if he passes by the police, it will cause him trouble. That's why the anonymous threat was used. Mei Xi must know that the person threatening was him, but there was no real evidence pointing to him.
"This Deng Zikun has really lived to the end." Chen Zheng smiled: "Don't worry, you don't pay attention to these text messages. Now that the Academy Awards are over, you should go back to the United States as soon as possible to continue filming. As for the past In the past few days, Deng Zikun has tried to intimidate you, but he will never get another chance."
Mei Xi guessed the hidden meaning in Chen Zheng's words and nodded: "Then I will leave as soon as possible tomorrow to avoid them using me to blackmail you. But you must be extremely careful."
"Don't worry, have you forgotten that I can figure it out?" Chen Zheng said with a smile.
Soon, the two returned to the hotel and had another night of fun.
Early the next morning, Mei Xi made a phone reservation for the day's flight, and was taken to the airport by Chen Zheng, who flew directly out of Xianggang.
Seeing Mei Xi getting on the plane, Chen Zheng felt relieved and was just waiting for the best opportunity to send Deng Zikun to hell.
¡¡
It¡¯s a coincidence. The day when the Hong Kong Academy Awards was presented was originally the date that Deng Zikun agreed to make a deal with the Japanese. The Xianggang police originally planned to round them up on this day, but it was later canceled due to Chen Zheng being a divination thief. of this operation.
When Mei Xi flew away the next day, Chen Zheng returned to the hotel. He then received a call from eason.
"Master Chen, you are really good at predicting things! Fortunately, you asked me to cancel the action, otherwise something big would have happened." Eason said on the other side of the phone.
"What happened? What news did you get?" Chen Zheng asked.
eason said slowly.
The result was not what Chen Zheng expected. The last news that the undercover agent sent by Interpol to the Japanese organization came back was false news.
It turns out that since the time when Huang Sir and others died in the line of duty. Disrupting their trading arrangements, the Japanese already suspected that there was an insider inside them.
After a period of investigation, the suspicion has been locked on the undercover Interpol agent, but we are not sure yet.
Therefore, their second transaction was actually to verify their speculation, deliberately release the news to let the undercover know, and then lay an ambush to see if the police would come.
If the Xianggang police really went there, the result would be needless to say. Not only would they not be able to catch them trading, they would also be ambushed, and even the undercover would definitely die in a random bombardment.
"Master Chen. The hexagram you mentioned last time was that the guide was not trustworthy. Now it seems that it is indeed a divination!" Eason asked again: "But now for the Japanese, the suspicion of undercover agents has been eliminated. Is the news from him credible?"
"Now that they have suspected the undercover agent, it will be difficult for them to trust him again. Therefore, the news he sent can be used as a reference, but it should never be trusted." Chen Zheng thought for a while and said cautiously.
"Yes, what Master Chen is saying is that those Japanese are too treacherous to be careless." Eason agreed, but then he was embarrassed and said: "But we only have one source of information. If you don't believe his information, How to solve the case?"
"You don't have to worry about this. Since the guide doesn't work, I will help you find a new guide. And I have already found this new guide." Chen Zheng was naturally referring to Jin Shengshui.
"New guide? Is he also Japanese?" eason asked.
"No, he is from Deng Zikun's side." Chen Zheng said with a smile: "Think about it, the Japanese came to Xianggang to trade, not to mention they smuggled a lot of arms. Deng Zikun is not stupid, how can he let them Arranging the transaction location? It is most likely that Deng Zikun will arrange it. At the very least, it must be reached by both parties, so it is the same reason to start from Deng Zikun. "
"Master Chen, you are right, then who is the guide you found?"
Chen Zheng smiled slightly, he had his own plans, and these plans could not be told to the police, otherwise he would be passive.
In his plan, whether it is Deng Zikun, Jin Shengshui, or the Japanese, including the Xianggang police, they are actually just pawns of his.
Therefore, Chen Zheng just said vaguely: "The guide I am looking for has a special status."??I promise he won't tell anyone else unless he catches Deng Zikun. And when the time comes, you must ensure his safety, don't arrest him, and let him change his behavior. "
"It turns out it's for safety, I know that," eason smiled: "Then I won't ask any more questions, it's all up to Master Chen to plan the strategy!"
After saying that, the two hung up the phone.
Logically speaking, after participating in the Hong Kong Film Awards, Chen Zheng will return to the mainland.
But just because of Deng Zikun's matter, Chen Zheng had to wait two more days.
Finally, he received a call from Jin Shengshui and asked him to meet.
Also in the old house where Jin Shengshui¡¯s mother lived, Chen Zheng first reviewed Jin Shengshui¡¯s mother, and then got back to the topic.
Sure enough, it was official from Jin Shengshui that the previous transaction was false news. He just used his dock to set up a trap. Fortunately, the police did not go, otherwise they would not have been able to catch Deng Zikun's evidence.
But after that time, Deng Zikun and the Japanese became bolder. Next, the real deal will be arranged.
And this transaction was still arranged on another dock covered by Jin Shengshui.
"This Deng Zikun is cunning and cunning. If he has such a dangerous thing, he will definitely not be on his own direct dock, lest something goes wrong and he will be implicated." Jin Shengshui spat and said: "Master Chen, This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, are we doing this?¡±
Chen Zheng didn't say a word, he just did some divination, and the divination seemed very auspicious.
"Okay, this time, we will definitely make a great contribution!" Chen Zheng concluded: "I will tell the police in Xianggang this news later, and ask them to make arrangements. This time, not only will Deng Zikun be caught, but also Deng Zikun will be arrested." To catch the thieves and seize the diamonds they smuggled and the cash they traded!¡±
"This should be no problem," Jin Shengshui said: "If they want to make a real deal, Deng Zikun will definitely come forward personally for such a large amount. But what I am worried about is"
"What are you worried about?" Chen Zheng asked.
"They were smuggling. On the territory of Jinshengshui, the Japanese were also worried about being robbed of their money, so they must have made arrangements. And those Japanese were smuggling arms, and their firepower was so powerful that Deng Zikun did not dare not be prepared. Besides, The waterways on the dock extend in all directions" Jin Shengshui said thoughtfully: "Even if the police come and a fight breaks out, it will definitely be a big scene. If the situation is chaotic, it will not be easy to arrest Deng Zikun."
This is indeed true, thanks to Jin Shengshui¡¯s reminder. It seems that we need to explain to Eason from the crime team that not only land police but also large-scale marine police must be dispatched to block the waterway.
????????????????? Whether it¡¯s for your own purpose of flattering Eason, or for other purposes of your plan, it¡¯s best to consume their armed forces before the police arrive. Chen Zheng thought for a while and came up with a plan.
