Chapter Eighty-Seven: This Assassin Isn't Very Cold-Blooded

  "Haha, Zhāo Jiě, no need to be so polite, let me guess who these people are." Sòng Táng declined Zhāo Yǎzhī's kindness and walked up to the group with a smile. He said with a laugh: "Hello, big stars! I'm Sòng Táng. If I'm not mistaken, you're Liú Déhuá, Wú Mèngdá, Lǐ Liánjié, and Zhāng Mànyù, right, Jiě?"

  At this time, with Zhao Yazi's conversation with Song Tang and others, several people's attention has already focused on Song Tang and Ni Rui. Although they haven't met Ni Rui before, they still know a bit about him, after all, he had been in Xin Yi City for a while, although not long, but Hong Kong is just that small. However, regarding Song Tang's arrival, several people obviously didn't expect it, although they are well-known in Hong Kong and the mainland, but compared to Song Tang who is now a famous director in Europe and America, there is still some difference. For a moment, several people were surprised by Song Tang's arrival in Hong Kong.

  "Haha, not bad little Song, really surprising!" Zhao Yazhi was apparently surprised that Song Tang knew so much about Hong Kong's entertainment stars.

  "Not bad, not bad! Mr. Song is great! I'm Ah Hua!"

  "Hello Mr. Song, I'm Ng Man Tat!"

  Jet Li!

  "Maggie Cheung!"

  。。。。。。

  "Haha, it's really surprising, I didn't expect Mr. Song to have arrived in Hong Kong already, and we had no idea at all. It seems that some of our paparazzi in Hong Kong are too focused on the private lives of our celebrities like me." Maggie Cheung clearly has a low opinion of some reporters, her expression turning icy when mentioning them.

  "Looks like Miss Cheung Man-yuk dislikes reporters?" Song Tang and the others followed Zhao Yajie to a few people in the middle, looking at Zhang Manyu who was speaking with some gnashing of teeth, and for a moment felt somewhat amused.

  "It wasn't long ago that Man Yu and Ah Hua became a couple!" Zhao Ya Zhi said with a smile, as if she had discovered something very interesting, and couldn't help but cover her mouth to stifle a laugh.

  "Hmph, Xī Jiě, you're still smiling, is this something to laugh about? Let ā Huá say something, didn't we just act in two movies together? And then you go and set us up as a couple, if we acted in a few more, wouldn't we have directly become husband and wife?" Zhāng Màn Yù said with a huff.

  "Isn't that great, Ah Wah is Hong Kong's famous good man." At this time, Ng Man Tat also joined in the teasing of Maggie Cheung, only Li Lianjie on the side remained unmoved, with a heroic demeanor.

  "Alright, is this funny? Look at Ah Jie (Andy Lau), how heroic he is!" Liu Dehua heard a few people gradually shifting the attention to himself and hastily spoke out to stop them.

  "Hmph, do you think we're all from Shaolin Temple? We don't have Ajie's skills!" Zhao Yazi coldly snorted, then continued: "Alright, let's not discuss Man Yu's affairs anymore. Don't forget our purpose tonight - we're here to talk about whether Ah Hua should continue acting in movies this year."

  "Of course, it's a must!" "If Ah Hua doesn't accept, many people will be heartbroken. If someone were to jump off a building in desperation, it would be Ah Hua's fault!" "I think Ah Hua should continue acting in martial arts films!" As Zhao Yaqi finished speaking, the others began to express their opinions again.

  Song Tang listened to the conversation of several people on the side, and did not interrupt. Although several people knew each other before, this was just a godly connection after all. Several people met for the first time, even Zhao Yazhi, who was relatively familiar, had only met twice. However, when Song Tang heard what they were talking about, he was moved in his heart and asked Liu Dehua: "Hua-zi, aren't you taking on any film roles this year?"

  "Ah, yes! This idea of mine." Liu Dehua took a sip of water and stretched his waist.

  "Why?" Song Tang was somewhat puzzled, why did Andy Lau suddenly not want to take on any roles this year? In Song Tang's memory, it seemed that in 1993, Andy Lau didn't have any particularly outstanding contributions.

  "Hehe, in recent years I've also taken on a lot of roles. Within a year, the number of TV dramas and movies I've filmed can add up to several dozen. It's too tiring." Liu Dehua glanced at the people around him, his expression somewhat gloomy.

  "Really, in the West, it's already not bad for an ordinary actor to get one or two decent films, let alone a superstar like you, who can churn out as many works in a year as others do in decades. But does Huazai have any interest in developing his career in the US? With your acting skills, I think you won't lack fans." Song Tang also knew something about the situation in Hong Kong, not just Liu Dehua, but generally speaking, well-known superstars would take on a lot of roles every year. After all, Hong Kong's high film output is well-known.

  "It's great, just agree to it quickly, Ah Hua. I think with Mr. Song's reputation, you'll definitely become a big star soon!" After hearing Song Tang's words, Liu Dehua was still in shock and hadn't reacted yet. Zhang Manyu, who was sitting next to Liu Dehua, had a somewhat envious expression on her face. However, she had a heavy workload this year, having received scripts for several films such as "The Eastern Three Heroes" and "Love in Exile" before the new year. Although Zhang Manyu also wanted to develop her career in Hollywood, opportunities don't wait for people. The films she received last year were enough to keep her busy for a while.

  Jet Li also has the idea of developing towards Hollywood, but Jet Li's situation is basically similar to that of Brigitte Lin. The films "Tai Chi Master", "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" and "Fong Sai Yuk" which will start shooting this year also require a lot of effort and time. Richard Ng is similar to Andy Lau this year, as neither of them plans to take on any roles for several years. However, Richard Ng's situation is somewhat special compared to the others. Although Richard Ng has been in the film industry for over a decade, he has never had a leading role, and is typically a supporting actor. But compared to other actors who specialize in supporting roles, Richard Ng is one of the few who have become famous throughout Chinese society by playing supporting roles. Now Richard Ng's main goal is to be able to play leading roles and act in several classic films.

  "Ah, Ah Hua, listen to your sister's words, this opportunity is indeed rare, and Little Song is not an outsider now. If my son wasn't still young, I'd even think about following Little Song to make a big splash in Hollywood, who knows, maybe we could even win a little golden man?" Zhao Yazi saw Liu Dehua not speaking up and also advised from the side, after all they had known each other for over ten years, their relationship was still pretty good, and Zhao Yazi really felt this was a great opportunity, it would be a waste if they didn't seize it.

  Not to mention how many people persuaded Andy Lau, Song Tong actually had his own ideas in mind. When Song Tong was filming and looking for actors, he actually wanted to use Chinese actors as much as possible. Unfortunately, at that time, there were hardly any Chinese people mixed in Hollywood. Like Andy Lau, a superstar with great acting skills, Song Tong didn't worry about it at all. What was lacking was only the opportunity. Song Tong was confident that China had never lacked good actors, but rather good screenwriters.

  "Hua Ge, actually I already have a script here that I think suits you very well, you should give it a try, after all, you don't have any other plans for this year!"

  "Oh, really? Little Song, you still have a script in your hand? Hurry up and introduce it!" Zhao Yazi was surprised to hear Song Tang's words. Just now, she had just heard Ni Rui say that when cooperating with Shaw Brothers, Song Tang took out an excellent script. In the blink of an eye, another script came out. This efficiency is really!!!

  At this time, Song Tang saw that with Zhao Yazhi's words falling, the curious eyes of Liu Dehua and Zhang Manyu also came over. Even Nai Rui, who was beside Song Tang, couldn't help but be secretly shocked after hearing Song Tang's words. Nai Rui knew that his new boss hadn't brought any script when he came back this time.

  "The story is actually quite simple, the script is called "This Hitman Is Not Too Cold", the protagonist is a hitman, and the story takes place in New York City. The professional hitman Leon is hired by a restaurant owner to kill someone. When he appears as a hitman, he is calm and mysterious, his killing skills are thrilling. But when he takes off his hitman mask, he becomes an ordinary citizen again, so simple that he doesn't even have basic identification, bank account, every day he drinks at least one cup of fresh milk, likes watering flowers and carefully wiping the leaves of his favorite potted plants, is a person with a dual identity role."

  In the apartment where Léon lives, a man is secretly trafficking drugs. The father of a young girl named Mathilda is an informant for the police's narcotics unit, but because he was greedy and kept some of the drugs for himself, he is killed by the corrupt and unstable cop Stan, along with his entire family, except for Mathilda. To protect herself, Mathilda hides in Léon's apartment, where she discovers his true identity as a hitman. In order to avenge her family's death and protect herself, Mathilda demands that Léon train her to become a professional killer...

  "After this, Stan also searched for Matilda with all his might in order to silence her..."

  Léon single-handedly infiltrates the police station to rescue Mathilda, who has gone there seeking revenge, and kills several officers. The police are shocked and order a massive manhunt for Léon, with both sides engaging in an intense and thrilling final showdown.

  Léon knocks out a cop, rescues the girl again and has her escape through an airshaft, telling her to get the money he left for her with the restaurant owner. Léon disguises himself as a cop in an attempt to blend in with the surrounding police, but is recognized by Stan. In a last-ditch effort, Léon detonates explosives on his person...

  Although Lyon ultimately sacrificed his life to save Martita, he would never regret falling in love with her. Because of her, he relived the joy of living, felt the sweetness of love, and completed the redemption of his own soul.
