Chapter 109 Fatal Call

Chapter 109 Fatal Call

Chapter 109 Fatal Call (1)

This scene at the beginning of "Fatal Call" can be said to have cost Wang Hao and Xinghe Special Effects Studio a lot of energy, and it also shows the successful development of their company in the past six months.

From being penniless college graduates to being able to create such stunning special effects, Wang Hao and his partners are indeed moving step by step towards the path of Chinese science fiction films.

At this moment, as the camera on the movie screen gave a close-up of the countless pedestrians who were making phone calls, the "ding-ling-ling" sound of cell phones began to ring throughout the theater.

A small number of viewers who were enjoying the movie even subconsciously touched their pockets until they found something wrong, and then they realized that it was the phone ringing sound in the movie.

As the ringing sounds became more frequent, the movie screen began to shrink and combine into grids, each of which contained a person making a phone call.

In the end, these grids were pieced together to form four big words, and from a distance, it was "Fatal Call"!
At this point, the opening credits end and the story gets to the point.

As the cheerful ringtone rang, one of the countless grids suddenly enlarged and occupied the entire big screen.

The male protagonist of our movie, Ma Chenggong, an elite returnee in the financial circle played by Xu Zheng, also officially appeared in front of the audience.

Of course, he would rather be called by his English name, Jack.

At this moment, he was wearing a high-end custom-made suit, leather shoes, a tie, a valuable watch on his wrist, gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, and his long hair was combed to be shiny.

This image alone, combined with Xu Zheng's own shrewd temperament, completely establishes the image of the entire character.

Therefore, the casting of a movie is crucial. With Xu Zheng, the audience has a general impression of Ma Chenggong without even saying a line.

That impression is different from the awe and rejection people have for the highly educated elites in other movies. After all, no matter how Xu Zheng dresses up, people always have an inexplicable liking for him.

A not-so-nasty bad guy!
This is the first thought that comes to the audience's mind after seeing Ma Chenggong played by Xu Zheng.

And the subsequent development of the story seems to confirm this.

In a spacious and bright conference room on a certain floor of a skyscraper that was tall enough to overlook the entire Magic City, Ma Chenggong was harshly reprimanding his subordinates.

"I've told you so many times, kindness doesn't make you a good commander of an army, and righteousness doesn't make you a good manager of finances. You must keep a close eye on the startups you're responsible for investing in, and you can't trust any of those entrepreneurs."

"When something goes wrong, the first thing we should pay attention to is to protect our own interests and minimize the losses."

"There is nothing that cannot be done in this industry. How many times do I have to tell you this before you understand?"

"It's risky, it's risky, don't do this job if it's risky!"

Ma Chenggong was shouting angrily in the front, and the employees below kept their heads down and remained silent. His aura was so overwhelming that it shocked the whole audience, showing his domineering demeanor.

Just as he was scolding his subordinates, the ringtone sounded again.

Ma Chenggong raised his eyebrows, slammed the table hard, and shouted, "Whose phone is this? Didn't I tell you to turn it off during the meeting?"

The subordinates looked at each other, and finally realized that the ringing sound actually came from Ma Chenggong's body.

There was no trace of embarrassment on Ma Chenggong's face. He glanced at the incoming call on his mobile phone screen, then calmly said, "Let's adjourn the meeting."

Some viewers here noticed that there were no buttons on the front of the phone, only a whole screen. The design was very novel, full of fashion and technology.

But before they could say anything, the camera turned and Ma Chenggong walked out of the elevator and walked straight through the magnificent lobby on the first floor.

A few people he met along the way greeted him enthusiastically, but he just nodded slightly and reservedly, with a condescending attitude. When he walked out of the hall, the camera gradually pulled away and tilted up, and the skyscraper behind him appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"Wow!"

In the screening room, someone couldn't help but scream out in surprise.

Because a skyscraper that is towering into the clouds and has a slightly twisted shape is shining brightly in the sun, like a pillar reaching the sky. No matter how far you look, you cannot see the top.

And as the camera began to rotate with Ma Chenggong as the center, two other skyscrapers around it also appeared in front of the audience.

Three super-tall skyscrapers stand in the shape of a Chinese character "品" in an important area of ​​Shanghai, forming a three-legged tripod.

Many of the audience here have been to Shanghai before, and they all recognized the Jinmao Tower among the three skyscrapers.

But why had they never seen the other two skyscrapers before?
Before they could continue to wonder, the camera followed Ma Chenggong's back as he made a phone call.

As the call sounded, the audience realized that this guy was having an affair outside his wife's back, and the call that interrupted the meeting was from the person he was having an affair with.

While the two were flirting, another unfamiliar number called Ma Chenggong's cell phone.

Ma Chenggong glanced at his phone, casually swiped it, and rejected the call, then continued flirting with his lover.

But before he could say a few words, the phone rang again.

Ma Chenggong impatiently rejected the call again, but the third call followed.

This time Ma Chenggong couldn't help himself and answered the phone. Just as he was about to speak, the other party asked first, "Ma Chenggong?"

Ma Chenggong was stunned for a moment, then he looked at the phone number again and confirmed that he didn't know the number. Then he asked calmly, "Who are you?"

Just as he did not answer the other party, the other party did not answer him.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that you are in trouble."

"It's incomprehensible." Ma Chenggong looked at the phone speechlessly, then hung up.

But the next second the phone rang again, and this time he didn't need to press the answer button, the call was automatically connected.

“I’m watching you.”

"who are you?"

There was a hint of anger in Ma Chenggong's tone this time. Anyone who was teased like this repeatedly would feel angry.

"You're funny, aren't you?" the person on the other end of the phone continued to provoke him, "But who would have thought that the financial elites who look glamorous on the outside are actually so dirty and ugly on the inside."

"Are you Lao Hu?!" Ma Chenggong revealed the name of a business partner. "I'm sorry about what happened to you, but the problem is not my fault. We are all acting in accordance with the contract."

"No, no, no! You guessed wrong." The voice on the other end of the phone was full of teasing, "I just want to play with you."

However, it was these frivolous words that brought a nightmare to Ma Chenggong.
