Lu Wen Dong’s work style was all about efficiency.
Three days later,
the Diamond Mountain set was officially open!
Director Keng Zheng, in a state of mental breakdown, led a group of crew members in a ritual to appease the gods.
Lu Wen Dong stood with Boss B, Han Bin, and Thirteen Sister, watching the proceedings.
“Wen Dong.”
Boss B and the other two couldn’t help but express their amazement: “This is way too fast.”
Indeed,
they had never seen anyone work as efficiently as Lu Wen Dong.
Three days ago,
they had just finalized the investment.
Now, three days later,
the company was registered,
the crew was assembled,
and today,
filming was about to begin.
It was simply unbelievable how fast it all happened!
Han Bin said, “Wen Dong, Du Yao Fa, he's been through so much, suicide, divorce, and then a flash marriage. Is he even reliable?”
Over the past few years,
Du Yao Fa’s life had been a rollercoaster.
Thirteen Sister commented, “This punk used his charm to become the most sought-after gigolo in Hong Kong, attracting wealthy women who wanted to take him as their sugar daddy. He thought he was Xu Wenqiang, so he ended up sleeping with a powerful woman.”
“Now his manhood is gone.”
Lu Wen Dong was stunned.
Was the history in this world this wild?
“You don’t know?”
Lu Wen Dong shook his head.
Thirteen Sister leaned in and whispered, “The powerful woman sent people to kidnap Du Yao Fa and gave him two choices: eat shit in front of them or take a bullet.”
Du Yao Fa was right there,
so it was clear what he had chosen.
Lu Wen Dong was blown away.
No wonder he had sent a bullet to Du Yao Fa,
and the man had come running over immediately.
His attitude,
bowing and scraping,
was as respectful as it could be.
“Don’t believe me?”
Lu Wen Dong said, “If Thirteen Sister says it, then I believe it.”
“Of course it's true.”
Boss B couldn't resist the gossip, “He was caught sleeping with another man’s wife and forced to eat shit, and then they made him drink a stomach-washing solution.”
“But this kid is damn impressive, he actually told everyone that he attempted suicide for love, and he even married his new wife again.”
Boss B clicked his tongue, “Handsome guys, they’re so lucky.”
Lu Wen Dong nodded in agreement.
This world was truly explosive.
He said to the three, “We’re making a movie, not evaluating people's character.”
“The role of Xiao Ma is similar to Du Yao Fa’s actual experience.”
“He has explosive potential.”
That was one reason.
Another was that Du Yao Fa was currently in a downward spiral, with every film he made losing money.
His salary was very low.
“It’s fine, it’s fine.”
Thirteen Sister said, “The money is already invested, you call the shots.”
“Speaking of which,”
Thirteen Sister continued, “Wen Dong, you’re generous. You didn’t even try to cut up the profit.”
Lu Wen Dong smiled slightly, “This is a film set, it’s more reliable to have the director in charge.”
Keng Zheng had already divided the profits,
and he personally brought a share over, “Boss.”
“You worked hard.”
Lu Wen Dong casually handed a share to Boss B and the others,
and then said to Keng Zheng, “You’re the director, control the set. Don’t worry about us.”
“Understood.”
Keng Zheng let out a sigh of relief.
At the beginning,
he was forced to join the project.
But after reading the script,
Keng Zheng declared that he would direct the film even if it meant working for free.
There was no other reason.
He was in a similar situation to Du Yao Fa.
Du Yao Fa made one flop after another,
and Keng Zheng directed one failure after another.
He desperately needed a film to prove himself.
With the outstanding quality of the script for A Better Tomorrow,
Keng Zheng could see the potential,
and he was willing to take a gamble.
Since he was willing to work for free,
Lu Wen Dong naturally didn't hesitate.
He signed him immediately,
and also signed Du Yao Fa into his newly registered Dong Huang Film Production Company.
“All you bigwigs, let's head over there, don’t hold them up.”
“No problem.”
Boss B and the others were just there to join in the festivities.
Now that the ritual was over,
they didn’t mind.
Once they were a little further away,
Lu Wen Dong said to Boss B, “B Ge, you now have 1 million clean dollars.”
As soon as he said that,
Boss B and the other two were dumbfounded.
“What?”
Lu Wen Dong explained, “You’re the supervisor on set, your salary is 500,000.”
“At the same time, you’re also a consultant on set, your salary is 300,000.”
“Furthermore, you also took on the role of foreman and martial arts instructor, those two positions combined will bring you 200,000.”
“This 1 million is the payment the film set will give you, it’s all clean. Even if the ICAC comes to investigate, they won’t find anything!”
The moment he said that,
Boss B and the other two’s eyes bulged.
They looked at each other,
feeling a bit like they were losing their minds.
Was money laundering this easy now?
Boss B swallowed,
his expression slightly dazed.
Then he timidly asked, “You mean, I can spend 1 million without any worries?”
“Yes!”
Lu Wen Dong said confidently, “If you want to buy a house, buy a house, if you want to buy a car, buy a car.”
“Spend it however you want! Nobody will find out!”
He needed to let Boss B and the others taste the sweetness first.
He also needed to prove his skills!
“Choose!”
