Chapter 641: Chapter 640 Wu Dakang
“Speaking of which, in ‘War Wolf 2’, all the main actors are incredibly important. Right now, we’ve got the director, producer, screenwriter, and a few assistant directors who can be found anywhere. We have Zhuo Bufen for the male secondary lead, and the lead actress Richael will arrive soon, but we’re still missing the key character of the veteran He Jianguo.”
“This character carries half of the movie, and if we can’t find him, I reckon the film’s going to have a tough ti.”
“Brother Hao,” Zhao Zhenhao stroked his chin and asked, “There’s no problem with anyone else, and you can play the male lead. But this veteran He Jianguo… should we keep looking?”
“Yeah,” Fang Wenbin nodded, “Right now, we’re only missing a heavy hitter like him. Oh right, there’s also the navy admiral, he’s a pivotal character too. What should we do?”
Ren Xing’s mind was always straightforward: “If all else fails, let’s just go all out and smash so cash at it! ‘Great rewards bring brave n,’ I think if we offer a bit more for the role, we still should be able to find soone.”
“Well…” Wang Hao rubbed his chin. “Everyone, don’t panic, I need to go to the restroom first.”
Everyone looked at each other… Damn, Brother Hao must be so anxious he can’t even hold it in!
“Go on, Brother Hao, you better hurry, don’t hurt yourself holding it,” Fang Wenbin said with a smile. “You’re the backbone here, if you burst your bladder, we’re all done for!”
“Go to hell,” Wang Hao laughed and cursed, then got up to head for the restroom.
After Wang Hao left, everyone whispered among themselves—
“It seems Brother Hao is all laughs on the surface but he’s actually under a lot of pressure.”
“Yeah, who else would go to the restroom at a ti like this? Eighty percent of the ti, it’s nervousness that makes people go!”
“Sigh, I think we still need to stand firm for Brother Hao. He’s reluctant to spend money, but if it cos to it, we should throw so money at a couple of well-known actors, that would also be sowhat reassuring, right?”
“That makes sense. Let’s wait for Brother Hao to co back and see what he says. Let’s not rush it.”
“Right, Brother Wang shouldn’t have any problems. Besides, making a movie is not sothing we haste into. Let’s take it step by step…”
The group buzzed with discussion, while at that mont, Wang Hao was in the restroom…
“Co on, Dice Bro, I need your strength at this crucial ti!” Wang Hao looked around, saw nobody, and decisively pulled out his lucky dice: “Whatever cos, please don’t hit in the face!”
Go, lucky dice!
Rattle rattle…
The dice spun dizzyingly on the washbasin and quickly ca to a stop.
Wang Hao burst into laughter when he saw the result—Hahaha, jackpot, a sure thing!
These days, you can’t rely on much, but the Dice Bro is a sure bet. Good luck ans getting whatever you wish for!
Humming a tune, he returned to the conference room. Everyone looked at Wang Hao and chid in with smiles: “Eh, Brother Hao seems in a good mood.” “Yeah, Brother Hao, did you make a new discovery?” “Could it be that you’ve already found a suitable candidate?”
“How should I put it,” Wang Hao said cheerfully, “I have a feeling sothing good is about to fall into my lap. Everyone, don’t rush, let’s just wait a bit longer. Hey, by the way, we’ve been eting for quite a while now, let’s take a break, have so water.”
Everyone glanced at each other—Brother Hao is so confident today?
“Brother Hao, did you cast a fortune for yourself?” Zhao Zhenhao looked at Wang Hao, “Did it say you’re going to have good luck today?”
“Of course,” Wang Hao nodded vigorously, “When have I ever made stuff up?”
Ay, with Brother Hao’s words, it’s settled!
Everyone imdiately felt at ease. Putting other things aside, Brother Hao generally wouldn’t joke about this sort of thing.
“Let’s go, let’s hurry and take a break,” Ren Xing was the most anxious. “We’ve been tense all morning and this sounds like good news. With Brother Hao’s word, I’m relieved.”
Fang Wenbin also quickly got up and stretched: “Sitting all morning has been tiring.”
Everyone relaxed, while Bai Ze, not aware of Wang Hao’s prowess, watched in astonishnt as they all said, “You guys really trust Brother Wang that much… What was it, luck?”
“Brother Bai, you just don’t get it,” Zhao Zhenhao chuckled, “Brother Hao is no ordinary person; his words are generally reliable, and he never leads people astray.”
Bai Ze: “…”
All these mystical talks, don’t pull one over on since I’m not well-read…
Just as everyone was starting to relax, a young assistant rushed in, speaking softly as he entered, “Mr. Bai, gentlen, we just had a call from an actor asking for help—he can’t find anyone and hopes Mr. Bai… and everyone can go help him out.”
Hmm? What’s this situation?
An actor asking for help?
Upon hearing this, everyone imdiately stopped in their tracks, but Bai Ze frowned and said, “Such nuisance calls occur by the thousands every day, haven’t I told you to just hang up?”
“Alright,” following the boss’s command, although the assistant hesitated visibly, he still prepared to go back and hang up.
“Wait,” seeing the assistant was about to leave, Wang Hao hurriedly called out: “Did that person say where he was?”
“Ah?” The assistant saw that Wang Hao was asking, he knew that Wang Hao was Mr. Bai’s favorite and quickly replied: “In an apartnt complex at the North Fifth Ring, a second-rate actor, quite old already…”
Upon hearing this information from the assistant, people exchanged looks of realization with each other.
Second-rate actor, quite old…
That sounds about right!
“Let’s go, let’s go check it out!” Today Brother Hao is on a lucky streak, and when you’re lucky, you’ve got to be unbeatable! Wang Hao’s eyes lit up: “Hurry, hurry, let’s go and see! Even if it’s not him, we can just take it as a walk!”
The crowd bustled in preparation to leave, Bai Ze watched with his jaw nearly hitting the floor as everyone bustled with energy: “Are you serious, guys?! It’s just a minor second-rate actor and you’re actually going personally? I co across at least eighty of these guys a day if not a hundred… Hey, wait for !”
The group of them headed straight to the underground parking garage, got their cars, and followed the navigation there.
The small-ti actor who made the distress call was in a comparatively low-end apartnt complex at the North Fifth Ring.
The surrounding buildings were already dilapidated. As their luxury cars drove in, they imdiately attracted the attention of countless onlookers.
“Look, so big shot has arrived, what’s going on?!”
“Yeah, what’s happening today? None of these cars are cheap, look at those license plates, so impressive!”
“Amazing, who could have invited all these heavyweight guests over?”
The crowd of onlookers gathered at a distance and buzzed with speculation while Wang Hao and the others got out of the cars and started to survey the surroundings.
“This place really is quite run-down,” Wang Hao sniffed and muttered: “There are places like this in Zhonghai?”
“There must be sothing going on,” Zhao Zhenhao nodded and said, “Let’s go upstairs and take a look, Brother Hao. We need to see what’s happening that made them call for help.”
A few of them followed the address given on the phone and went upstairs.
But as soon they ca out of the elevator, they were stunned!
They saw that on the door of one of the apartnts on the nineteenth floor, the walls were covered in scrawled graffiti, and the door splattered with red paint, giving it a particularly ominous and terrifying appearance.
“What on earth is going on here?” Ren Xing exclaid in surprise: “Is this about loan sharks pressing for debts?”
Everyone exchanged glances; Wang Hao took the lead and knocked on the door: “Is anyone there?”
The door creaked open a crack: “You’ve co? Quickly, please co inside and sit!”
To Zhao Zhenhao and others, the man seed nothing special, a rather ordinary middle-aged man, slightly thin, with the only distinctive feature being his thin double eyelids.
But as soon as Wang Hao saw this man, he imdiately burst into laughter!
“Hahahaha! Hahahaha! It really is a case of ‘finding it without looking’ as the saying goes!” Wang Hao excitedly rushed through the door, examining the man closely from head to toe: “Brother, how may I address you?”
“Ah?” The young man was clearly confounded by Wang Hao: “Hello, my na is Wu Dakang, and may I know who you are…”
Wu Dakang! Hahaha, what a strong na!
“Oh hello, hello,” Wang Hao grabbed Wu Dakang’s hand, unable to stop smiling: “My na is Wang Hao, nice to et you for the first ti. So, Secretary Dakang… oh no, Brother Dakang, shall we go inside to talk?”
“Wang Hao?! Are you the Wang Hao Mr. Wang, who turned the entire film industry upside down?!” Wu Dakang was also stunned; he could never have dread that he would manage to invite this big shot over: “Oh hello, hello, it’s good that you’ve co, everything is finally good now, please co inside!”
Zhao Zhenhao, Fang Wenbin, and the others looked at each other in disbelief—what’s happening today? Why is Brother Hao so happy?
There didn’t seem to be anything special about this Wu Dakang…
Regardless, since they were there, naturally they began by asking what exactly was going on; the group went into the apartnt.
As soon as they entered, they saw that Wu Dakang’s place could be said to be a bare ho, without even a TV, the only piece of furniture being a tattered sofa. At that mont, in the room, a young man around twenty was sitting there dejectedly crying.
“Sigh, have a seat first,” Wu Dakang looked at the young man, sighed, and then invited Wang Hao and the others to sit.
Seeing the state of things, Wang Hao had a clear understanding in his heart and asked: “Brother Dakang, what exactly happened here? I see that your ho’s current conditions are really not so good…”
“It’s more than ‘not so good,'” Wu Dakang nearly broke down as he talked about it. He sighed and said, “It’s all because of my good-for-nothing son causing trouble. Sigh, you all have co, otherwise, I really wouldn’t know what to do…”
