A sickly bamboo horse dressed as a villain

As soon as Lu Handong died, Wu Zhunyun was arrested again, and Tengxing fell down and scattered.Originally, Tengxing was the largest film company, with more than a thousand people including Wu Xing and actors under it, all of them had to find new homes at once.Nowadays, the film industry is one of the hottest industries in Hong Kong City. It is just in the ascendant and in full swing. Film companies spring up like bamboo shoots every year, and the competition is fierce.Many companies look at the right time and snatch people at low prices.

Only Wen Nan didn't move at all, and concentrated on preparing for the new movie. Only a month later, he established the first professional brokerage company in Hong Kong and implemented the star brokerage model.In the past, celebrities only signed film contracts, and they did business and packaging promotion by themselves. Big stars can hire professionals to take care of them. It is easy to say that some not-so-famous actors are family workshops, which is very irregular.

The agency is completely new to the entertainment industry, but after Li Xingchen and Su Zhizhi, who announced their severance of ties with their cousin, both signed under their banner, many celebrities extended olive branches to Wennan.

Qiao Wen and Chen Jianan carefully selected a dozen or so and included them under their banner.

Two new films were launched, coupled with the rapid expansion of the company's business, both of them were very busy.Qiao Wen is in charge of the company's business, and Chen Jianan is in charge of filming and production. They work together in a division of labor. They often don't see each other for several days. The dating between the two is completely lonely.

Fortunately, after being busy, the harvest has been quite fruitful. Although Wennan Films has only released the first film of "Bravely Entering the World", after the operation of the brokerage company, within two months, it has signed more than a dozen actors and received several million dollars. Even if they don't make movies, the company and the actors are still making a lot of money, and both parties are very satisfied.

Wennan Films has completely gained a firm foothold in the film industry.

At the end of the year, two films were released at the same time, one was the second part of "Bravely Entering the World", and the other "Random City" was the theme of gangsters and business wars set in Hong Kong.Although the themes of the two films are different, they both sold well at the box office.Especially "Random City", it talks about gangsters colluding with police and rich people, drug trafficking and money laundering, manipulation of stock and property markets, and even the Legislative Council and Parliament.Because of the bold and realistic subject matter, it was almost empty for a while.

This script is still written by Guan Zhenbao, and all the materials are provided by reporter Zhang Da. It's fake, but it's enough to make up a movie.

This kind of theme was not popular before, because there was nothing to shoot because of the black and white family. Now the ICAC is established, the Kowloon Walled City has been swept away, Lu Handong has fallen, and the fallen Inspector Hung has fled to Taiwan. These are all ready-made good subjects.

The gangsters and policemen in the movie all have prototypes, except for a mysterious rich man who was only a behind-the-scenes trader from beginning to end, and did not show up until the end of the movie and was arrested.

The original intention of the movie was just to keep suspense. If the response is good, a second movie can be made.At first, the audience thought so too.It's just that when it was being screened, a lace tabloid reported-"Exclusive Reveal <Who is Mr. Z in Chaos City?"The Mysterious Fifth Lord Surfaces" Mr. Z is also the code name of the mysterious rich businessman in the film.

Guan Zhenbao didn't know what the fifth master was at all. When writing the script, this Mr. Z was just a fictional character without any prototype. In order to get the next one, although Qiao Wen knew that there was a mysterious fifth master in Hong Kong City who only covered him with his hands. God, but it doesn't connect Mr. Z in the film with the fifth master at all.

Although this report was just a gimmick in the title, the real identity of the fifth master was not revealed from the beginning to the end, but the mysterious name of the fifth master is well known.In the next few days, the most popular headline in various tabloids was "Who is the fifth master?"

When Qiao Wen realized that something was wrong, the public opinion was out of control. Even when he went to a restaurant for a meal, he could hear people discussing who the fifth master was.Several top wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong City, from Lin Zihui's father Lin Zhaoming to Jiu Shu Zhou Chaozheng, have all become suspects.

Qiao Wen didn't know who the fifth master was, and he wasn't even sure if he was a rich businessman, but knowing this incident, Wen Nan not only offended a few wealthy businessmen who had been pushed to the forefront, but also offended the real fifth master.

He was resting in the villa that day when he suddenly received a call from Lin Zhaoming.

"Awen, the water in Hong Kong City is very deep. You are just fledglings, so you should pay more attention. If you offend someone you can't offend, you will be in trouble."

Hearing this, Qiao Wen's first thought was—is it possible that Lin Zhaoming is the fifth master?But that's not right, in the original story, Lin Zhaoming belched as soon as he came out, how could he be such a mysterious character.

He tentatively said, "Boss Lin, are you talking about Master Wu?"

Lin Zhaoming laughed: "You don't need to ask me about it. I don't know who the fifth master is. I only know that he is a character who can turn his hand into clouds and his hands into rain. I'm afraid that you have already offended me if your movie has become like this. Hurry up and find a chance to make up for it.”

Qiao Wen smiled wryly: "We really didn't insinuate, and this lace report came out somehow, and it's still fermented so much. Thank you, Boss Lin, for reminding me, I will handle it properly."

Lin Zhaoming smiled: "Awen, since ancient times, heroes have been born as teenagers. You and Anan are the rising stars of Hong Kong City. The speed of rising to the top has never been seen in these years. Do you understand that the big tree attracts the wind? The roots of this city are intertwined. You must act cautiously, otherwise I don’t know when I will become a pawn manipulated by others.”

Qiao Wen said, "Thank you, Boss Lin."

"Okay, I called to remind you because you and Anan are Zihui's friends. I hope you children are doing well. I also hope that if Zihui encounters any difficulties in the future, you can help him."

"Don't worry, it will definitely happen."

After hanging up the phone, he called Chen Jianan who was practicing boxing on the balcony.

"what happened?"

Qiao Wen said: "Gang Zihui's father called to remind us to be careful."

Chen Jianan: "What about Fifth Lord?"

Qiao Wen nodded: "Just imagine, if you have been mysterious for many years, even the boss of the gang who worked for you would only know your name, but not your identity. But suddenly one day, because of a movie, you were arrested by the whole city. I know, although I don't know who it is, but everyone is guessing and discussing. Are you worried about anger?"

Chen Jianan pondered for a moment, and said: "It will indeed. I don't know who this fifth master is. Seeing how powerful he is, if he is really angry at us, he is secretly while we are open. Wouldn't we be in danger?"

Qiao Wendao: "He has cooperation with the Vietnamese military when it comes to arms, and has a lot of connections with Southeast Asian drug kings when it comes to drugs. An arrogant person like Lu Handong is just his white glove. As for Inspector Hong, he is probably a head shorter than him. And For so many years, his identity has not been revealed, one can imagine how powerful he is. If we really mess with him, it may be very difficult for us to deal with."

Chen Jianan took it easy, and said indifferently: "Whatever, we didn't do it on purpose, at worst we should make a statement."

Qiao Wen shook his head: "It's a bit of an understatement to post at this time. I can only let Zhenbao spoil the identity of Mr. Z first, so that it seems that this identity has nothing to do with Fifth Master."

Chen Jianan nodded: "This is a solution, Xiao Qiao, you are smart."

As soon as the voice fell, the phone rang again, and Qiao Wen reached out to take it.

"Mr. Qiao Wen?" There was a strange and polite male voice on the other end of the phone.

"Yes, who are you?"

"I am the messenger of the fifth master."

Qiao Wen's pupils shrank: "Fifth Lord?"

"Yes."

Qiao Wen hurriedly said: "That's just right, please tell Fifth Lord that Mr. Z in our movie definitely does not reflect him. Later, the screenwriter will reveal the character design in advance, so that the audience will know that he has nothing to do with Fifth Lord .”

The man said: "Mr. Qiao, now that the fifth master's name is known all over the city, do you think it's still useful to mend a dead sheep?"

Qiao Wen said: "But it's really a misunderstanding, we never insinuated."

"Mr. Qiao, I'm not going to beat around the bush here. The sums in your movie must have been obtained from Lu Handong's account book, right? They were filmed just to show the fifth master, right? The fifth master has already seen it." Now, you can ask what you want. The fifth master is very optimistic about you. As long as you are willing, he can support you and entrust you with all the big business in the future. If you have any other plans, the fifth master advises you to cancel it as soon as possible thoughts, or you will be the next Lu Handong."

After the other party's words, Qiao Wen, who has always been thinking fast, was confused. He subconsciously said, "Lu Handong?"

"Yes, Lu Handong was too ambitious and wanted to find out the real identity of the fifth master, so he was regarded as an abandoned son by the fifth master. The reason why Lu Handong died was not because of any grudges with you, but because the fifth master wanted him to die. Let me borrow your money It's just a hand."

Qiao Wen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and suddenly thought of Lin Zhaoming's "manipulated pawns" just now. It turned out that they had already become someone else's pawns.He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and asked, "What account book did you just say?"

"Lu Handong's account book has been missing since his death. The fifth master has been looking for it. Since it is confirmed to be in your hands, you are just trying to use it as a bargaining chip. You can talk about whatever you want to talk about now."

Qiao Wen said: "Sir, please tell Fifth Lord that we don't know what account book he is talking about, and it is not in our hands. You have found the wrong person."

The other party laughed lightly: "Several amounts in the movie are exactly the same as those in the ledger, you wouldn't call it a coincidence, would you?"

Qiao Wen was silent for a moment, then said: "...What if I say it is indeed a coincidence?"

"Mr. Qiao, I'm just a messenger, so I won't talk nonsense. Since the fifth master took the initiative to contact you, he is giving you a chance. You should think about it carefully, and I will call you again later."

After speaking, I hung up.

Qiao Wen heard the beeping sound coming from the opposite side, thought for a moment, and quickly dialed Guan Zhenbao's phone number: "Zhenbao, I want to ask you something."

Guan Zhenbao: "What's the matter, Ah Wen?"

Qiao Wen said: "Did you fabricate the various amounts in the script of "Random City" by yourself or refer to the information Zhang Jiaming gave you?"

Guan Zhenbao: "I don't have any idea about money, I just took it from the materials."

"Okay, I see."

Qiao Wen hurriedly dialed Zhang Jiaming's number again. He was lucky. This big reporter with a lot of work is rarely at home at this time.

"Reporter Zhang, good evening."

"Awen? Is there something wrong?"

"It's a little bit of a problem. You made materials for Zhenbao's "Chaotic City" script earlier. Where did the figures and money in it come from?"

Reporter Zhang said: "Oh, this is some anonymous revelations that the newspaper received before, and I directly gave it to Zhenbao."

"Okay, I see."

"Any questions?"

"It's okay, you are busy."

Qiao Wen hung up the phone, his handsome eyebrows furrowed deeply.

"Little Qiao, what's going on?" Chen Jianan just pricked up his ears and listened to the phone calls clearly. Although he was at a loss, he knew that things had become complicated.

Qiao Wen raised his head and met his eyes, and said word by word: "Brother Nan, someone took Lu Handong's account book and let Fifth Lord misunderstand that it is in our hands. It is very likely that he wants to use Fifth Lord to mess with us."

"Revenge for Lu Handong?"

Qiao Wen shook his head: "I don't know, but we have to find a way, either find the ledger, or find out the identity of Fifth Master."
