Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Chapter 567 Jet Li comes to ask for help

After Xu Damao, Wang Lin and Cui Dake discussed it.

A Ponzi scheme was hatched.

Xu Damao sighed that he had really found the organization this time.

The three of them had clear division of labor: Xu Damao was responsible for planning, Cui Dake was responsible for building relationships, and Wang Lin was responsible for pretending to be a charlatan.

With the joint efforts of the three, Wang Lin's reputation grew.

Even people from the China Sports Commission came to interview and wanted to study this so-called Qigong.

People from the TV station also came.

Wang Lin had excellent psychological quality and some real skills, so he managed to scare those people.

Finally, Wang Lin and his gang became even more popular in Beijing.

The common people of this era are relatively simple.

In their opinion, since Wang Lin was on TV, it meant that he must have real kung fu skills.

So everyone rushed to become his disciple.

Even many dignitaries came to visit.

For those who wanted to become his apprentices, Xu Damao directly came up with a grading system.

Tuition fees vary according to the level.

He even asked Wang Lin to make some blessed talismans and sell them for money.

No one suspected such a low-level scam.

Several people used these methods to make a lot of money, which was several times more than their previous income.

Just when Xu Damao was committing fraud in full swing.

On the other side, in Hong Kong, an unexpected person suddenly approached Wang Jianjun.

That person was none other than Jet Li, who had collaborated with Wang Jianjun on a movie.

But when Wang Jianjun saw the other person again, he was a little surprised.

At that time, Jet Li was only about 23 or 24 years old.

It is the age when one is full of vigor and vitality.

But now he looked exhausted.

"Lianjie, when did you come to Hong Kong?"

"I've been here for three years now. I've been filming in Hong Kong all these years and haven't had the chance to visit you. I'm here now that I'm free."

Wang Jianjun originally wanted to sign Jet Li, but Jet Li had his own ambitions and rejected him.

Although Wang Jianjun felt a little regretful, he didn't care too much.

He is not making movies just to make money now, the script for the Wong Fei Hung series has already been prepared.

If Jet Li doesn't come, he can wait for a few years.

By then, Vincent Zhao will also come to Hong Kong to develop his career.

In his opinion, Zhao Wenzhuo's screen image is no worse than Jet Li's, and his performance as Wong Fei-hung is also quite classic.

What's more, he also tailored the roles of the Nine Gates Admiral and Fahai for Zhao Wenzhuo.

Wang Jianjun originally thought that Jet Li came to him to reminisce about the past.

However, seeing the frown on his face, he guessed that the other party might need his help with something.

Wang Jianjun smiled and said:

"If there is anything you need my help with, you can just tell me. I still have a say in this little corner of Hong Kong."

Jet Li said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Mr. Wang, I'm so sorry. I really came here to ask you for help today."

Wang Jianjun didn't care either.

After all, I have been watching his movies since I was a child.

Shen Chuxia is still his fan.

Jet Li then told Wang Jianjun about his experiences over the years.

When he first came to Hong Kong alone, he thought he could make a good living with his Shaolin Temple.

You should know that Jet Li is not only famous in Hong Kong, but also in the United States.

Because of the Shaolin Temple movie, there was even a Shaolin Kung Fu fever in the United States.

However, when Jet Li came to Hong Kong, he found that he had thought too simply.

He is indeed very famous in Hong Kong.

But the film investors and directors in Hong Kong looked down on him.

Not only Jet Li, but anyone coming from the mainland is not welcomed by Hong Kong people.

The reason is also very simple.

It’s just that the rich look down on the poor.

Jet Li is no exception. When he first arrived

Director Luo Wei took notice of this.

So under Lo Wei's instigation, Jet Li signed the contract with the other party without thinking.

But to Lo Wei, Jet Li is just a piece of fat meat.

After signing the contract, he asked his son Luo Dawei to be his agent.

At the beginning, Lo Wei introduced a lot of resources in the circle to Jet Li and filmed several movies with him.

But the father and son of the Luo family did not want Jet Li to become famous. They only wanted to exploit and control Jet Li.

Let this Kung Fu Emperor make as much money as possible for himself.

The fledgling Jet Li certainly understood that he was being used, but at that time he had just arrived here and had no power or resources to support him, so he could only swallow his anger.

For the several films made for Lo Wei, the promised remuneration was either delayed or simply not paid.

Jet Li was in such a dilemma that he had no idea what to do.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he kills everyone in the movies.

But in reality he is just an ordinary person.

No matter how good you are at fighting, you can't defeat ten people alone.

It was not until then that Jet Li realized the cruelty of Hong Kong society.

After enduring for a few times, Jet Li finally couldn't help but confront Lo Wei.

But this time, Luo Wei directly broke off relations.

According to them, they can make fun of this so-called "inland guy" to death. No matter how much money Jet Li makes, it will all go into their mouths in the end.

In anger, Jet Li chose to go on strike.

But he didn't just want to strike.

When Jet Li signed the contract with them, Lo Wei pretended to be very convincing and deceived them by making the conditions sound very good.

Jet Li was young and inexperienced and didn't pay much attention and just signed the contract directly.

When I looked back, I realized that the original contract was full of traps.

If he doesn't make movies, the other party will have plenty of ways to control him.

Jet Li was forced into a desperate situation and finally thought of Wang Jianjun.

Wang Jianjun left him a postcard.

He told me that if I asked him to come to Hong Kong, I could ask him for help if I needed anything.

Although Jet Li felt a little embarrassed, he had no other choice but to ask Wang Jianjun for help.

After hearing what Jet Li said, Wang Jianjun also felt a little sympathy for him.

Hong Kong is still quite chaotic in this era.

All those film companies have gang backgrounds.

When he came to Hong Kong, he directly wiped out those gangs in order to ensure that his business would not be affected.

Therefore, those gangs have not been able to gain any momentum in the past decade or so.

But it's impossible to eradicate gangs.

The past decade or so has also allowed those gangs to revive.

Wang Jianjun has been busy with his own affairs in recent years, and those gangs didn't dare to mess with him, so he didn't bother to pay attention to them.

And as society develops, gangs have also begun to change with the times.

Fighting and killing have long become a thing of the past.

Today's bigwigs are all running legitimate businesses.

Especially those film companies, each of them has the shadow of gangs.
