Chapter 2 Two years
"A month later, the charity cruise ship Fugui Pill is in its maiden flight."
Seeing that there was finally news of Fuguiwan in the newspaper, Zuo Xiaoyou breathed a long sigh of relief.
It has been two years since he came to this world, and he finally waited for news about the plot.
This time Zuo Xiaoyou was miserable by Xiao Heik. Although he did come to the world of "City Hunter", he was sent to two years ago when the plot took place.
Two years ago, he was teleported to the bathroom of a casino, and then met the prodigal son Gundam, who had outstanding gambling skills in the casino.
Yes, it is the character Li Tianwang played guest role.
That day, Gundam was a big killer in the casino and left after winning a lot of money. On the way, he encountered a group of robbers. Although Gundam had a flying card technique, he was outnumbered. When he was about to be arrested, Zuo Xiaoyou, who had been following him, took action.
Hong Zhennan's martial arts ability is not a joke. Ordinary dozens of strong men are unable to get close to him. Zuo Xiaoyou has a certain foundation in Wing Chun. Combined, his strength is even a little stronger than Hong Zhennan.
As soon as he took action, he took away more than a dozen robbers in less than a long time. Then he followed Gundam to his place in Xiangjiang.
That year was 1990, and there were seven years before Xiangjiang's return.
Zuo Xiaoyou has no identity in this world. Fortunately, Gundam has many networks of relationships to help him get the legal household registration in Xiangjiang. From then on, Zuo Xiaoyou lived in Xiangjiang.
In the past two years, he has been learning gambling and flying cards with Gundam.
Maybe he doesn't have the talent in this area. In two years, he only learned up to three or four things.
But there are also reasons why Zuo Xiaoyou devotes most of his time and energy to script creation.
In 1990, Xiangjiang was the last golden period of the entertainment industry. How could Zuo Xiaoyou, a Hengdiao who had been in more than ten years, not seize the opportunity to meet some superstars and goddesses?
The best way to get to know these superstars and goddesses is to enter the entertainment industry. How can ordinary people enter the entertainment industry the fastest? Of course, it is to write a movie script.
Although the Xiangjiang entertainment industry does not attach great importance to the role of editors, it cannot resist the many scripts given by Zuo Xiaoyou, which is too good.
Zuo Xiaoyou has been a Hengdiao for more than ten years in his previous life. Although he has been playing a supporting role, he is also learning to create scripts by himself, so he is very familiar with script creation.
Although the world of "City Hunter" is illusory, the background is connected with reality. Zuo Xiaoyou has watched high-box movies after the 1990s. So when he took out two scripts and threw them into Jiahe and Yongsheng, the two companies quickly got in touch with him. But because the two companies gave too little money, Zuo Xiaoyou signed a bet agreement with them.
If the box office is less than 10 million, you will not be given any penny; if the box office exceeds 10 million, you will be divided by 1% of the box office; if the box office exceeds 20 million, you will be divided by 5% of the box office; if the box office exceeds 30 million, you will be divided by 10% of the box office; if the box office exceeds 40 million, you will be divided by 15%.
Then that year, Jiahe's "Flying Eagle Plan" won 39 million box office, ranking second in the annual box office list; Yongsheng's "Falling Veyron" won 44 million box office, ranking first in the annual box office list.
Then it was simple. Zuo Xiaoyou got 3.9 million from Jiahe and 6 million from Yongsheng.
Of course, it was not so satisfying for the two companies to pay the money, but it was because Zuo Xiaoyou took out a high-level script and asked the two companies to pay the bills with great pleasure.
This time both companies learned their lessons. The agreement signed is no longer a bet, but a script that is bought at a high price of one million yuan.
The entertainment industry is the most secret field. In addition, the two companies did not deliberately conceal it. Zuo Xiaoyou's million-dollar screenwriter's reputation resounded throughout Xiangjiang in just a few days, attracting the attention of countless industry insiders.
After that, the box office of each movie made by Zuo Xiaoyou was not less than 30 million. Within two years, Zuo Xiaoyou sold ten scripts, occupying the top two annual box office rankings in 1990s and 1991s, and the rest ranked in the top five of the year.
Including the two movies released at the beginning of this year, the box office exceeded 40 million. They were named one of the top four young talents in Xiangjiang by Xiangjiang Entertainment Media.
As for the other three young talents... it doesn't matter who they are.
Relying on scripts to enter the entertainment industry, Zuo Xiaoyou finally met many celebrities in the entertainment industry and goddesses who were recognized twenty years later.
I don’t know if it’s because this is an illusory world after all. There is no Jackie Chan in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, nor Joey Wong and Li Ming, as well as everyone who has appeared in the movie “City Hunter”.
Fortunately, Jackie Chan is not the only superstar in Hong Kong. Chow Yun-fat and Stephen Chow are both guaranteed to have box offices, and they have a good relationship with Zuo Xiaoyou; Zhao Yazhi, Chung Chuhong and other goddesses are also there, which makes Zuo Xiaoyou enjoy a lot of fun.
As for what kind of addiction is it? It can only be said that it is the dream of all poor people - an ulterior motive.
Yes, Zuo Xiaoyou indulged in this world. Or, because he contacted women in this world, he indulged himself once.
Women in the entertainment industry... Everyone understands it. So Zuo Xiaoyou has no psychological burden. Just dreaming of midnight, he will inevitably think of his eldest sister. He can never find that innocent relationship again.
Fortunately, although Zuo Xiaoyou was indulgent, it was not overwhelming. His indulgence was only relative to him. If it were those playboys, Zuo Xiaoyou would be a clear and sage, a contemporary saint.
I only got three female stars in two years, but the female stars took the initiative to pay back. Is this also called indulgence?
Even Gundam had ridiculed Zuo Xiaoyou: "Brother, you are too pure. How can those vixen who want to curry favor with you live?"
Zuo Xiaoyou disagreed. He would already blame himself if he had sex with two women. If he had sex with more women, what would he become? Are he a breed?
He should not be a bad guy who only knows how to indulge in lust and has no spiritual or spiritual pursuit.
Although he is doing well in the entertainment industry, Zuo Xiaoyou is still thinking about the mission. If the Fugui Pill does not appear, if he cannot meet Meng Bo and the terrorists, he will not be able to leave this world.
Although this world is no different from the real world, and he is much better in this world than in the real world. But with the shuttle in the movie world, his future is full of infinite possibilities. If you are satisfied with this and die in this world, wouldn’t you feel regretful?
But one thing made him feel a little worried, that is, whether in the real world or in the movie world, the time he experienced would directly affect his body.
Simply put, Zuo Xiaoyou found that he had signs of aging.
In Ip Man's world, he stayed for four months; in reality one month; in "City Hunter" two years. In nearly two and a half years, he found that he was no longer as sensual as he was at the beginning. From the comparison of photos two years ago, he was really aging year by year. This made him very worried, and he would die of old age without feeling too much of the movie world.
"Xiao Hei, will I die of old age?" The worry in my heart finally blurted out, and Zuo Xiaoyou asked Xiao Hei.
"If you can obtain immortal objects or techniques in the movie world, the user will not die of old age."
Xiao Hei's answer made Zuo Xiaoyou's eyes move, and he asked: "Then when will I enter a world with immortal objects or martial arts? What if I can't meet them until I die?"
"No." Xiao**: "After the user's ability reaches the standard, he will naturally be teleported to those magical worlds. But whether he can obtain immortal things depends on the host's ability and luck."
"So that's it." Zuo Xiaoyou thought for a moment and asked, "How should my ability be considered to meet the standards?"
“Self-protect.”
"……Understood."
Let go of your worries for the time being, Zuo Xiaoyou began to pay attention to the information of Fuguimaru and Mengbo. Fortunately, the information of Fuguimaru and Mengbo is not difficult to find. Fuguimaru has been confirmed to set sail on time in a month, and Mengbo's reputation is also very famous in this world. He will get relevant information every day for analysis.
"Brother, why have you always collected news about Fugui Wan and Meng Bo recently?" Half a month later, Gundam, who had been to Las Vegas for a while, returned to Xiangjiang.
Because Gundam often wanders around the world, the house is often empty, and Zuo Xiaoyou is not married, the two have been living together. It is discovered that Zuo Xiaoyou has been collecting information on these two aspects during this period, Gundam is a little curious.
"I want to play on Fuguiwan for two days." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly, leaned against the wide sofa, and said, "As for Meng Bo, I heard that he is one of the best private detectives in the world. I want to see what he has to do?"
"After all, he is a life-long man." Gundam seemed to look down on Meng Bo: "I am not handsome, have no money, and have a dangerous job. This kind of man is simply a failure."
"As you say that, Meng Bo is really a bit miserable." Zuo Xiaoyou chuckled: "But you are not much better. You are lingering in the casino all day long and will be shot in the dark sooner or later."
"I've been beaten many times." Gundam lit a cigarette indifferently, pulled the ashtray, and asked, "You seem to be very idle lately and don't write scripts?"
"Writing scripts is a waste of brain cells. I am tired, so I want to go to Fugui Wan for two days." Zuo Xiaoyou pointed to Meng Bo's photo on the coffee table and said, "The lower script wants to write a story about a private detective and a cruise ship."
"No wonder you have collected news from these two aspects recently." Gundam suddenly realized, and put the ash in the ashtray and said, "Those who can get on the Fugui Pill are either rich or noble. I'll go up and play with you for a few!"
"Gambling again?" Zuo Xiaoyou was helpless: "You can't spend all your money in ten lives, just play around with it, don't cause trouble."
"I'm going to the gambling table to win money, so there's no reason to lose intentionally." Gundam shook his head and said, "You have learned gambling with me for two years, but they are not even as good as newcomers. Don't say you have learned from me in the future."
"Don't worry! I'm just learning gambling for entertainment, not as dangerous as you." Zuo Xiaoyou still refused to forget to persuade him.
Gundam smiled, got up and left.
"Where are you going?"
"Why do you get on board without a boarding card?" Gundam went out.
Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly and picked up the newspaper on the coffee table.
Half a month left, the plot is about to begin.
