Chapter 014 The mute girl was really overwhelmed by who to choose.

Kai Tak Airport, afternoon of the 18th.

As Su Nan led the team outside, he smiled at his ten bodyguards and said, "The social order on Hong Kong Island is currently quite poor."

"There are so many lawless thugs here, and you guys are coming here with work visas."

"As long as you don't use guns when something happens, just use a tactical knife and don't kill anyone."

"No one will die; leave the minor matters to the lawyers."

Skyworth's No. 40 bodyguards are all elites; we even talked about them on the way to Moscow.

We've really arrived in Hong Kong Island? The bodyguards exchanged glances, then nodded firmly.

Su Nan laughed again, "When dealing with gangsters, don't listen to how much they brag."

"Their actual combat strength is similar to, or even less than, that of the big shots who run arcades in mainland cities and counties."

"A tactical knife is basically enough. If you need to use a gun, come to me for your weapon."

He communicated with his bodyguard and Chen Hong in Mandarin, but Da Pao Hui couldn't understand.

No problem. After leaving the airport, Su Nan arranged for everyone to take taxis in turns.

His cell phone went off.

This was the last time I bought it in Hong Kong after my income skyrocketed; it's available both in mainland China and Hong Kong Island.

Su Nan answered the phone and heard Rosamund Kwan's laughter on the other end, "Brother Nan, you've arrived? I've come to pick you up from the airport."

"I wasn't at the exit gate because it's inconvenient for me to appear in public."

After chatting for a few minutes, Su Nan arranged for Da Pao Hui to receive 10 bodyguards and let them stay in rented rooms first.

He and Chen Hong then found Rosamund Kwan's car and got in.

Sister Guan was a little confused when she saw Chen Hong, mainly because Chen Hong was walking with her arm linked with Su Nan's, as if she wanted to hang on him.

She quickly came to her senses, mentally grumbling a couple of times before smiling sweetly and saying, "Drive!"

It would be untrue to say that Rosamund Kwan had no feelings for Su Nan a few months ago, given that he was tall, handsome, and had a great physique.

He has the money to be a boss, a high social standing, and considerable influence; his overall conditions are truly exceptional.

But she has never really tried to pursue a man; she has always been the passive one since she grew up.

Aside from discussing normal matters within and outside the entertainment industry and career development with her, Su Nan never pursued her.

Upon suddenly seeing Chen Hong, such a young and beautiful woman, Sister Guan began to curse inwardly.

Of course, even if Rosamund Kwan had feelings for Su Nan, she was still a fan.

She never thought about becoming the official girlfriend. Since her divorce, none of the men she's met have treated her like a real girlfriend.

As Sister Guan drove along, she asked with a smile, "Brother Nan, how's her Cantonese?"

Su Nan shook his head, "She has to learn slowly. I've decided on her for the lead role in my kung fu project, and she'll sign a ten-year contract with Skyworth."

"She had at least three opportunities to play a supporting or leading role, and in addition to speaking Cantonese, she also had to be very active on set."

When Rosamund Kwan saw the two start talking, Chen Hong was listening intently.

She couldn't help but chuckle, "I thought you were going to pursue Vivian Chow."

"Wang Zuxian and Li Jiaxin are also good choices, but the mainland sisters beat them to it."

"You've spent a lot of money to pick up girls, haven't you? Using two backup versions for a film in Taiwan?"

If the girl with the small waist doesn't understand Cantonese, then it's easy to talk nonsense.

Su Nan was speechless. "So, the money laundering operation has officially begun?"

He didn't realize that the dual-version was just a temporary abandonment of the Taiwanese market, and that things would be fine in a couple of years.

Sister Guan nodded, "It's open, and we're waiting for you to come back and join the crew."

"The recent pace has mainly focused on the action choreography team designing the fight scenes, and filming the action sequences first."

Su Nan laughed and said, "Then my return is just in time; the script for Kung Fu is already half finished."

"I'll show it to you another day. The female lead is Ah Hong. Ah Hong was a child star when she was young and she was the third female lead."

"If you were to guest star as the fourth female lead at most, would you mind a drastic change in your image? Becoming less attractive?"

He first encountered the script in real life in March.

I spent half a month on the film set in April, traveling between China and Maoming by train for six or seven days at a time.

On the way, he flipped through many classic film scripts that had already been released.

Following the clues, translating the complete kung fu movie into a script is not difficult.

Once the story outline and synopsis are done, the details are filled in step by step.

Rosamund Kwan exclaimed in surprise, "Play an ugly character? I'll think about it. Whether it works or not, I definitely won't accept any payment and will only do it as a cameo."

"But Brother Nan, you're in charge of selecting people and forming a team. I have a lot of connections and can help you with that."

Su Nan chuckled again, and they chatted for a few more minutes.

He said to Chen Hong in Mandarin, "You can familiarize yourself with the environment in Hong Kong and work with me on set for a month or two."

"Then try setting up an office in Shenzhen to hold auditions for child stars, and you can oversee the selection."

Chen Hong exclaimed in surprise, "I still have this power? Boss, don't worry, I will definitely do my best."

Who played the mute girl in Kung Fu Hustle when she was a child?

There are too many choices, for example, Fat Bing is 9 years old this year.

Da Meiyuan is 11 years old this year, and even the other Ah Zhi is 10 years old.

The mute girl in the original Kung Fu Hustle was 9 years old when she played the role.

There are plenty of promising talents even if you close your eyes; these women born in the 75s and 80s have truly made a mark in acting.

Unlike the 85 season, where each subsequent season's acting skills declined.

They are all potential candidates who can be signed to long-term contracts and nurtured to succeed Hong Kong's post-millennium film queens.

Su Nan is a director who is a "Hong Kong Island graduate who failed the college entrance exam" and has only been to the mainland a few times.

It's impossible to directly name Da Meiyuan and Pang Bing; only open auditions are necessary.

If Ah Zhi had been signed a few years later, she would have ended up in Australia like she did in the original story, becoming a "foreign girl".

The other landlords and landladies are still the original versions, except for the buck-toothed Jane, which was reserved for Rosamund Kwan.

Wearing props to make buck teeth could also become a popular internet meme in the future.

He wasn't joking; the main point is that, aside from the mute girl, Rosamund Kwan's image isn't suitable for the landlady role.

As long as you get paid enough, you're good to go even if you're playing a supporting role.

……

On June 19, Su Nan drove A Hong and two bodyguards, a man and a woman, to the money laundering filming location.

These are Skyworth Group's official vehicles. Buying a few used cars is cheap and durable.

Da Pao Hui, who arrived earlier, ran to pick him up, seamlessly integrating into the role of assistant director.

The other bodyguards were tasked by Su Nan with learning Cantonese, familiarizing themselves with the terrain, and observing Hong Kong society, among other things.

Trains continue to depart from the mainland for Moscow.

This was a train carriage that Su Nan had chartered, and it was also the location of a Mafia shipment deal that he had facilitated.

After dealing with both sides, the A-Guo group with bodyguards can simply shop and settle the payment based on previous experience.

The team from Su Nan just needs to go to Moscow to trade, then fly there to collect a batch of US dollars.

Alternatively, they could save up the dollar quota and keep it in Fedorov's hands.

He goes there once a month and can earn between $150,000 and $200,000. The amount for June has not yet been settled.

My monthly income in mainland China is around three million RMB, which includes various customs expenses, salary, and taxes.

This refers to the total of stable passenger and freight transport and occasional freight transport (one wagon going north).

Today, the crew started filming a scene involving an American mafia underling coming to Hong Kong to make a deal with the main villain, Zhou Weisheng, during a money laundering operation.

Then there's the scene where Zhou Weisheng double-crosses them, involving Rosamund Kwan and Donnie Yen.

Through introductions from Guan Zhilin and Da Pao Hui, Su Nan got to know Yuan Heping and others.

Following the lead of assistant directors Lao Yuan, Lao Mai, and Lao Fang, I began to learn about the affairs of the entire production team.

Ah Hong followed behind him like a little girl, observing everything.

While he was still gathering information, Yuan Heping brought Adan over to offer cigarettes. "Su Sheng, what do you think of this story? Is there a chance it could be made public?"

Su Nan politely accepted the cigarette, saying, "Director Yuan, I think the action choreography is quite brilliant."

"The story is rather ordinary and unremarkable."

The script he saw already included some action choreography shots.

The action scenes in this movie are exciting and entertaining, but there's not much to discuss about the story.

If you insist on pointing out any merits, you can only marvel at how stunning Rosamund Kwan looked at 28.

Yuan Heping sighed helplessly, "I'm really getting old. If I can't keep up with the times, I'll be left behind."

Su Nan thought for a moment, "If you want a good gimmick, it's not that you can't be unconventional and innovative, it just depends on whether you dare to."

"After all, the conflict between the American Mafia and overseas organizations has been brought up."

Yuan Heping's eyes lit up. "What a great gimmick?"

Su Nan sighed, "It's too old-fashioned to have the villain from the Powder Village. You should change it to stealing the private bone business. The main villain also wants to develop the human bone business in Southeast Asia."

This makes it a much bigger selling point when advertising.
