The Forty-Third Chapter

Seeing Qian Wenqi's expression, Wang Xuan felt it was about time. He then withdrew his imposing aura, becoming gentle again. He opened a nearby drawer, pulled out ten bundles of cash, and placed them on the table. He continued, "Words are cheap. Here's a hundred thousand. You can take it later; it's your first month's salary. Use the rest of the money to find people for me. Your first month's salary is an advance. I'll give you five days to establish a film crew."

Seeing the money on the table, Qian Wenqi realized Wang Xuan was a man of his word. He breathed a heavy sigh of relief. He wasn't afraid of working for Wang Xuan; he was afraid of working and not getting paid, which would leave his family to starve.

However, he felt a bit uncertain. After all, he didn't have much filming experience. He had only shot a few adult films, which had little to no plot. He was afraid he wouldn't do a good job and anger the boss by losing money.

Wang Xuan saw that he had something to say and gestured for him to speak. Qian Wenqi took a deep breath and mustered his courage, saying, "Boss, I don't have much experience, and I'm afraid I won't be able to do a good job!"

"It's fine, then we'll start with videotapes to gain some experience."

"This..." Qian Wenqi hesitated. Filming those things was truly embarrassing. How would he be able to face anyone afterward!

Wang Xuan saw his difficulty and smiled, saying, "I'm not asking you to put your name as director, so what's there to hesitate about? This is a nightclub, and we have actors. You don't need to worry. Alright, it's settled. Call me if you run into any trouble. Come back to see me with the team in five days. Go get to work!"

Qian Wenqi took the money from the table and left, his heart filled with unease. Ten thousand was a lot of money, more than double his current salary, and the boss had also promised a commission, which didn't seem fake. But... he was still working for a gang boss, and he couldn't help but feel unsettled.

This was the good thing about gangs; many things didn't need discussion, they could just use force. As long as they weren't shortchanged on money, the subordinates would be grateful.

After all, how polite could you expect a gang to be? It was good enough that they weren't shouting threats. They weren't good people.

Four days later, a team was established. The thugs were mobilized twice more. Qian Wenqi didn't know the two people involved. He felt he couldn't hire them himself, so he directly told Wang Xuan. Wang Xuan employed the same tactic, forcibly bringing the men back. A few glares were all it took for the two men to 'happily' agree.

In four days, Zhu Libo had also registered the company. The film company was named Star Brilliance, and its address was set in a building near Tsim Sha Tsui. The location was a bit remote, but the rent was cheap. Wang Xuan decisively rented two floors.

To celebrate the establishment of the film company, Wang Xuan arranged for the entire team to have fun at Star Brilliance for a night. Each person was assigned a beautiful woman to accompany them. Two of them were Star Brilliance's hottest prostitutes, and they would also be the future leading ladies of the films.

At the same time, Wang Xuan also decided on the theme for the films.

To make the films have depth, charm, and become instant hits, Wang Xuan also hired two screenwriters. They were the reporters who had previously collaborated on the 'police gay theme' incident. He commissioned one story from each of them for five thousand yuan per story to test the waters.

Wang Xuan also gave them specific pointers.

After listening to Wang Xuan's in-depth explanation, all the team members expressed their sincere admiration for their boss. This was an innovative path that would surely bring great glory.

At the same time, Qian Wenqi stated that with the leader's guidance, he could also write good screenplays, though he still expected the five thousand yuan.

None of that mattered. After the explanation, Wang Xuan left directly. His presence made everyone too self-conscious.

Ah Wai, who had been observing the entire time, became very interested in the film company. Wang Xuan indulged him, letting him oversee things. As a result, the lecher decided to personally step in and audition for the male lead.

The script was relatively simple and was completed in less than two days. After Wang Xuan made a few minor revisions, they began filming. They simply found a room in the building and made some simple modifications. Thus, three days after the company's establishment, the first film began shooting.

There was no grand opening ceremony. Wang Xuan felt a bit embarrassed to make a big fuss. However, he personally visited the set of the first film, mainly wanting to see how these adult films were actually made.

Qian Wenqi had filmed a few adult films before, so he was quite adept at handling films that could be shot in a single location.

Since everyone was a beginner, to save costs, before filming began, they had everyone rehearse their lines and go through the motions to avoid unnecessary complications and wasted film during the actual shoot.

Watching a few of the thugs, who were reasonably good-looking, sitting in the classroom, and one of the prostitutes from the establishment dressed in a uniform, holding a teaching pointer, and standing at the podium, Qian Wenqi explained the lines to each of them.

However, there were still some mistakes during the actual filming. Fortunately, the quality requirements for this type of film were not high, and it could be fixed in post-production editing.

Under the camera, Wang Xuan was amused to the point of laughter.

Especially when he saw Ah Wai's flabby body.

Only then did he understand.

Just thinking about it was disgusting!
