Chapter 455 455, Earthquake?

【Snake King Association】

It is a snake shop run by Chow Ka Ling in Sham Shui Po. It specializes in snake soup and also organizes snake banquets. The store decoration retains the characteristics of an old-fashioned restaurant, attracting diners from all over the world.

The wall is densely covered with reports from various media about the store owner "Snake Queen" Zhou Jialing, as well as photos of her with various celebrities, such as Yilong, Zhou Runfa, Zhou Xingchi...

At the end of the shop, there is a wooden cabinet that is as tall as a person. Inside each cabinet door, there is one or several snakes.

Since it was time for dinner, Huo Wenxi parked the car on the side of the road and followed Sun Hao here. While inspecting the filming site of "The Departed", she also had a meal here.

In the food culture of Hong Kong Island, there has been a tradition of eating snake soup in winter for the purpose of nourishing and warming the body. Therefore, even if Huo Wenxi is a beautiful woman, there is no psychological barrier to eating snakes.

"Boss, salt and pepper snake, golden dragon playing with pearls, fried snake shreds with celery and double pepper, and then two more snake soup."

"Okay, Mr. Sun, please wait a moment!"

Zhou Jialing, the female shopkeeper of Snake King Association, stood at the counter and agreed, then turned around and went to the kitchen to get busy.

"Director, it seems that you are a long-time foodie on Hong Kong Island. When did you discover this restaurant?"

Huo Wenxi sat down, a little curious.

Sun Hao will never spend more than 50 days in Hong Kong Island throughout the year, so how did he know about this specialty store? !

"I just came here last time and found it when I was walking around here. It's very unique."

"Discovered it while scouting locations for "The Departed"?"

"right!"

"But you haven't told me yet, how should we deal with the collective strike of Hong Kong extras?" Huo Wenxi asked while helping Sun Hao pour tea.

"Eat first, then I'll show you around after dinner."

"Haha..." Huo Wenxi laughed.

"In Hong Kong Island, I am the landlord. If I let you, a foreigner, take me for a stroll, wouldn't I be laughed to death?!"

However, even so, Huo Wenxi still nodded and agreed, as long as you don't get rid of the trouble of the extras' collective strike.

"director…"

"Um?"

"You don't have any intention of bringing extras from the mainland, do you? If that's the case, "The Departed" really can't be regarded as a purely Hong Kong film."

"Well..." Sun Hao touched his nose habitually.

"Sister Mani, let's not talk about it. I really had this in mind when I first received your call."

"Does that mean you don't plan to use this method now?"

"Yes!" Sun Hao picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

"Well, director, can you tell me specifically what you plan to do? After all, according to the plan, our movie will start filming on October 18th."

"Well... let's keep it a secret for now!" Sun Hao leaned his head over and whispered in Huo Wenxi's ear.

"cut!"

Huo Wenxi was a little angry.

When has it been?

The fire is burning, and you are still making excuses.

Snake King Association is indeed the first snake restaurant on Hong Kong Island. It moves very quickly. While Sun Hao was chatting with Huo Wenxi, the owner of the restaurant, Zhou Jialing, served the dishes herself.

"Mr. Sun, stir-fried shredded snakes with salt and pepper snakes and celery and double peppers!"

"OK, thanks!"

"Need something to drink?"

"Beer bar..." Looking at Huo Wenxi, Sun Hao saw that she had no objection, so he smiled at the shop owner Zhou Jialing:

"Here's a box of shells. I'll make up for the extra."

"OK."

Zhou Jialing bowed and waved to the counter, and immediately a middle-aged man came over carrying a box of beer.

"Mr. Sun, if there is still need, just give me your orders."

"good!"

Huo Wenxi responded, waved her hand, and was about to let her leave, but who knew that Sun Hao smiled and said: "Miss Zhou, I have a small favor, can you help me?"

"Mr. Sun, please speak!"

She originally wanted to go back to the kitchen to see how the other two dishes were going, but after hearing Sun Hao's words, Zhou Jialing immediately stopped.

"You should have a lot of regular customers in your store, right?"

"It's quite a lot. Basically, I have to turn over the table three times for one meal!" Chow Carina has this confidence. Anyone from Hong Kong who likes to eat snakes will generally regard this place as their home.

"Then..., are there any people among them who like to act in movies?"

"Hey... Mr. Sun, what do you mean?" Zhou Jialing was confused.

Huo Wenxi had the same doubt. Could it be that Sun Hao got something and went crazy? Why did he say such unprofessional words?

Actors are actors, even if they are extras; amateurs are amateurs, even if they accidentally show up in a movie...

How can the two be confused? !

At this time, Sun Hao smiled and spoke.

"Don't be nervous, Miss Zhou. What I mean is this. I want to shoot a movie in our [Yao Wang Xie] store. Do you have any difficulties?"

"No, no, I'm willing even if you don't pay me. After all, everyone knows that Mr. Sun, your movie will be a hit once it's made, and it will bring a lot of customer traffic to me."

"Haha... Miss Zhou, you are serious!"

Sun Hao smiled confidently.

At this time, Huo Wenxi suddenly slapped her thigh.

"Director, I understand what you mean.

Do you plan to have all the regular patrons of the Snake King Association appear in the movie, and then we can just omit the extras involved in this scene? "

"Um!"

Seeing that Huo Wenxi guessed what he was thinking, Sun Hao no longer planned to hide it.

"For necessary guest actors, I plan to let the artists signed by Yinghuang Entertainment Company play; and for other non-essential roles, all amateurs will be used, such as the diners in this restaurant, the owner of the audio shop next door, and the street vendors..."

"Hmm..." Huo Wenxi thought for a moment and nodded solemnly. If the shooting time is not considered, this is really a good idea.

"Then..., director, what about the martial arts and stunts?"

"Stunts..., I have asked Ke Shouliang to return to China. If everything goes well, he will arrive tomorrow.

For martial arts, I plan to use Kou Zhanwen and Zhang Jin. When filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" last year, one of them was a martial arts and the other was a stuntman. Both of them have real kung fu skills."

………

Zhu Pi and Gan Bi, the two of them looked like a couple, sitting on a table at the entrance of the Snake King Association, with their backs to Sun Hao and Huo Wenxi.

[Wow, Sun Hao is really thoughtful! ]

Although they were sitting next to each other, out of professional habit, the two of them were very cautious in sending text messages on their mobile phones to communicate.

[Hehe..., Gan Bi, see, this is a great director, otherwise, Sun Hao would have been squeezed out by his mainland counterparts, how could he have the mood to come to Hong Kong Island to shoot a Hong Kong film! ]

[Then, Brother Pi, what should we do now? ]

[Of course, we must send out this explosive news immediately. If it can't be published in print media, we can use the Internet.

I really don't believe that this news will not become the focus of Hong Kong Island? ! ]

After the text message was sent, Zhu Pi, who was already a little anxious, immediately got up and left, and Gan Bi stood up and quickly followed.
