Last year was a peak in Zhou Runfa's career. Since "On the Beach" became popular, he has starred in five TV series and four movies in a year. (Literature Museum) Although these movies are not high in box office, the ratings of TV series are strong, becoming the guarantee of TVB ratings.

Zhou Runfa's pocket suddenly filled up money, and last year he bought a house for his parents. However, Zhou Runfa did not live with his parents, but rented a house outside with his girlfriend Chen Yulian. On the one hand, it was convenient for work and filming, and on the other hand, it also made Chen Yulian less embarrassed.

The price of property has plummeted in the past few days, which made Zhou Runfa very depressed. The house he bought was a huge loss.

However, what makes Zhou Runfa even more depressed is his relationship with TVB. Although he has become a popular TV star in Xiangjiang, he doesn't want to act in TV series all his life, he wants to become a movie star.

Zhou Runfa has also made many movies in the past few years, but most of them are Shaw Brothers films. Those low-cost films really have no future, and Zhou Runfa is not very suitable for playing costume heroes.

Zhou Runfa can also continue to stay on TVB to shoot TV series, and then take out movies in his spare time. But in this case, those who come to him to shoot movies are definitely small companies and small productions, because big companies choose their own contracted actors to shoot movies. Otherwise, a movie will make Zhou Runfa famous, wouldn’t it be a waste of TVB and Shaw Brothers?

This is the case when Kang Jianfei asked Lin Zhengying to film "Mr. Zombie". Lin Zhengying became popular in Southeast Asia with "Mr. Zombie", but Lin Zhengying was willing to continue to follow Hong Jinbao without changing jobs to DreamWorks. Kang Jianfei was purely a wedding dress for others.

After suffering this secret loss, Kang Jianfei had already set a rule for himself that unless he was cooperating in filming or entering a different market, he would never invite actors from his own company to play important roles.

Zhou Runfa wanted to switch to the big screen, but Shaw's decline was a foregone conclusion. Then the contradiction came.

In the parallel space, Zhou Runfa was reluctant to renew his contract with TVB. After filming a TV series in early June this year, he was hiding by TVB for nearly 4 months. The two sides finally reached an agreement.

Although Zhou Runfa was frozen for 4 months and could not film, he actually won the final victory. Because TVB made an exception and promised Zhou Runfa that he could sign a TV contract with other film companies while signing a TV contract with TVB.

From TVB to the 21st century, Zhou Runfa is the only actor who enjoys this kind of treatment.

Later, in order to win the free treatment of external movies, Liu Dehua and other five tiger generals could only bow their heads and compromise with the TV station after being hidden.

It was still mid-July, and Zhou Runfa was still in a state of freezing by the TVB station, or accompanied his girlfriend to go shopping, or went home to have dinner with his parents, and was comfortable doing nothing all day.

After Chen Yulian came back from filming, she saw Zhou Runfa wearing an apron in the kitchen and cooking, and couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Fa, it's not a solution for you to continue like this. Otherwise, I'll ask Ms. Fang to plead with you some other day."

Zhou Runfa waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm free to expire after more than three months. I don't believe that no one will ask me to make a movie."

Chen Yulian remained silent. She dared not tell Zhou Runfa about her secretly asking Fang Yihua today.

Zhou Runfa was cutting the dish and found that Chen Yulian was standing behind her for a long time without saying anything. He thought she was worried about herself. He put down the kitchen knife and smiled and said, "Yes, I'm not in a hurry. The more I dragged it back, the more I was anxious, the more I was anxious, the TV station should be anxious."

Chen Yulian couldn't help but say, "There are so many actors on the TV station. So what if you are very popular? Look at this past month, it's not going to work as usual without you? Brother Fa. We can't stand the TV station, so don't make too much trouble with the station."

Perhaps it was Chen Yulian's words that touched his heart. Zhou Runfa untied the apron on his waist, returned to the living room silently, and nestled on the sofa without saying a word.

"Dingdong, Dingdong..."

Seeing that Zhou Runfa was a little depressed, Chen Yulian wanted to comfort her, but before she could open the doorbell, she rang quickly to open the door.

After the door opened, Wu Mengda's smile appeared, and he asked, "A Lian, is Ah Fa at home?"

"So it's Brother Da, please come in quickly." Chen Yulian finished speaking, and found that there were two men following Wu Mengda.

After the three of them entered the house, Wu Mengda smiled at Zhou Run from afar and said, "Afa, it's really hard for you to invite me. I'm not free of charge when I ask you to have dinner."

"I'm not interested in going out." Zhou Runfa explained.

Compared with last year, Wu Mengda at this time, she seemed to be completely reborn, without any decadence, and she was full of energy.

Although Wu Mengda did not play any important roles after "Three Minutes Hero", he played supporting roles in "Happy Ghost 2" and "Mr. Zombie 2". In addition, he took on some small company scenes and the salary paid by DreamWorks, if he had not had to pay off his debts, his life would be more comfortable than many people.

Wu Mengda introduced: "This is Mr. Yu In-tai, the director of Oriental DreamWorks, and Mr. Zhang Guozhong, the agent of DreamWorks."

Only then did Zhou Runfa realize that Wu Mengda was talking about the serious matters when he asked him, so he shook hands with them and said, "Hello Mr. Yu, hello Mr. Zhang."

Chen Yulian asked, "Brother Da, you haven't eaten yet, are you? I'll cook more."

"No, let's go out to eat," Wu Mengda pulled Zhou Run out and turned around and said to Chen Yulian, "A Lian, you can go together too."

The group came to a nearby restaurant to sit down. No one took the initiative to talk about the main business, but talked about some anecdotes in the film and television circles.

After the dishes were served, Wu Mengda poured wine for Zhou Runfa and then took the opportunity to ask: "Afa, I heard you were hidden by TVB?"

Zhou Run laughed and said, "It's nothing, I just want to take a break."

Seeing that he did not admit it, Wu Mengda did not say it out loud, and said in another way: "It would be better to wait until the contract expires, and you can go to DreamWorks with me to make a movie."

Zhang Guozhong also said: "Yes, there are several actresses in DreamWorks now that are very famous, but they lack a male star who can stand up. If Mr. Zhou can come to DreamWorks, it will definitely be the pillar of DreamWorks."

Yu In-tae also said: "I have a script in my hand, and Mr. Kang has also helped me to correct it myself, which is just right for you to play the male lead."

The three of them explained their intentions in words, just to invite Zhou Runfa to join DreamWorks, and then DreamWorks promised to train him as a pillar and to star in a movie immediately.

Zhou Runfa was delighted. He wanted to switch to the big screen. Oriental Dream Factory is now capable, and he doesn't have much impression of Kang Jianfei. The two of them had some relationships. After all, all aspects were in line with Zhou Runfa's wishes and almost agreed.

Just as Zhou Runfa was about to agree, Chen Yulian suddenly kicked him under the table and blinked quietly at him.

Zhou Runfa immediately understood what Chen Yulian meant, and was trying to persuade him to be more cautious.

When a popular TV star goes to film movies, the movies he makes are not necessarily the top spots. This is the case for Zhou Runfa. After becoming popular because of "Going to the Beach", he made four movies in one go last year, but all of them failed without exception.

If Zhou Runfa made a movie after joining Oriental DreamWorks, he would still fail, and he could not go back to TVB to shoot TV, and he would be fucked by then!

Zhou Runfa was reminded by Chen Yulian and calmed down and asked, "Can I read the movie script first?"

Yu In-tae smiled and said, "Of course, I have brought the script."

Zhou Runfa took over the script and couldn't wait to look it through. As soon as he read a page, Zhang Guozhong suddenly said: "Mr. Zhou, I think you don't have to read the script."

Chen Yulian asked, "Why?"

Zhang Guozhong smiled and said, "Because before coming, Mr. Kang asked me to bring a message to Mr. Zhou Runfa. He said it doesn't matter whether this "City Tour Horse" can be sold. He promised to make at least two movies for you in the next three years. The quality is not inferior to that of "Mr. Zombies" and "Senior Sister Royal".

Not to mention Zhou Runfa and Chen Yulian, even Wu Mengda and Yu Rentai were surprised when they heard this.

Especially Wu Mengda, he felt a little uncomfortable. He entered DreamWorks last year and now he can only play supporting roles. However, before Zhou Runfa signed the contract, he had already received the promise of the male lead of Kang Jianfei in the two movies.

After Kang Jianfei broke the Hong Kong box office record in three consecutive movies, except for those capable people like Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, and Xu Guanjie, who other Hong Kong actors don’t want to play the leading role in Kang Jianfei’s movies?

That means gaining both fame and fortune, and becoming a hit!

Chen Yulian asked in disbelief: "Is Mr. Zhang true?"

Zhang Guozhong smiled and said, "Mr. Kang told me that he said that Zhou Runfa is the most potential and capable actor in Hong Kong. He is going to make you a super movie star who is popular in Asia."

If other directors said this, they would probably be considered to be talking big. However, this kind of words came from Kang Jianfei's mouth, which added a bit of convincing power.

Zhou Runfa is a very ambitious person. Before he became famous, he stayed at the elevator entrance of TVB every day in order to impress the senior executives of the TV station and gain the opportunity to play an important role. But now he has become famous in TV, but he is still not satisfied and wants to seek breakthroughs and development in the film industry.

Now Kang Jianfei ran out an olive branch, Zhou Runfa finally let go of his hesitation and closed the script of "City Tour Horse" and said: "I am willing to join Oriental Dream Factory, but I will have to wait three months before I can leave after my appointment with TVB is over."

Yu In-tae smiled and said, "Of course it's okay. I'm going to take the time to prepare for the movie. You can bring this script back with Mr. Zhou. You can get familiar with it in the past few months."
