Chapter 356 Those who wish take the bait

"what!"

Everyone in the studio was stunned!

Green light suddenly appeared!

In just a few short sentences, Hongwei and Erguang, Li Hanxiang and Zhang Cuiying, all gained such huge benefits!
How can these be three wives? They are three gods of wealth!

In the blink of an eye, these people transformed into general managers of advertising companies and cinema chains.
Just look at Li Heizi's smiling face and you'll know that the Shouchun lady invested in the four stunning films in his series: "Xi Shi", "Fei Yan", "Zhao Jun" and "Yu Huan". They all have big casts!

Each one costs at least a few million Hong Kong dollars.

Why didn’t Li Heizi call me?
This was the thought on everyone's mind in the studio.

What they didn't expect was that Zhang Cuiying quickly refused: "Mrs. Huairu, I was an actor before, but I've never worked in a theater! And there are five theaters, I can't manage them all. But I can still help you connect with Shaw Brothers to make a movie."

"Sister Cuiying, it's okay!" Qin Huairu now learned to speak softly and slowly: "I'm interested in the theater's plots of land. It would be best if the theater can earn enough to pay the employees' salaries. It's no problem to provide some subsidies every year."

"This"

"Sister Cuiying, please don't refuse. We don't have many friends in Hong Kong, and we hit it off right away."

Zhang Cuiying looked at her husband Li Hanxiang, and Li Heizi nodded, "Since Madam Huairu approves of you, you can give it a try. We have some connections in the film industry, and we know which movies can make money. Haha, 5 theaters! After I make a good movie, I have to serve Madam Li first!"

"Otherwise, wouldn't the box office revenue of the five leading theaters be reduced?"

On the other side, Jin Yuqing also smiled and held Hongwei's hand, "Sister Hongwei, although this is the first time we meet, Deming mentioned you specifically when he came home last time. He said that he ran into you in a restaurant and saw that you educated your two children very well, so he knew that you must be a good person."

"So, I'm not acting rashly."

Hongwei also turned her head to look at her husband Erguang.

Er Guang's face was full of red, and he patted his belly vigorously: "Hong Wei, one of us is a second-rate producer, and the other is a second-rate actor. Maybe we can set up a first-rate advertising company? Anyway, Shaw Brothers doesn't pay much, so why don't we take the business from Great Wall? It's not like we don't have acquaintances there."

"If the advertising company really loses money, we won't take our salary! Now that I'm a big producer, I'm going to ask Li Heizi for a few more cents!"

"Puchi!" Tianjin people's inherent sense of humor immediately made everyone laugh.

"Hey, Third Brother!" Hu Jinquan nudged Li Hanxiang with his elbow. His voice seemed very low, but it was just loud enough for Zhang Shouchun to hear. "Can Madam Shouchun take a look at my notebook?"

"Then why don't you go get it!"

"okay!"

King Hu excitedly went to get the script he had written. Li Hanxiang smiled and said to Zhang Shouchun, "Madam Shouchun, my seventh brother King Hu has worked as an actor, production manager, and assistant director for many years. Now, he and I are working together on this drama, The Love Eterne."

"He has written many good scripts." King Hu came back quickly, glanced at Li Hanxiang, and handed the script in his hand directly to Zhang Shouchun, "Mrs. Shouchun, please help me take a look."

"Children of the Earth?" Zhang Shouchun looked at the four big characters written on the cover, recited them aloud, and then flipped through a few pages. He became more and more interested and read all the way to the end.

Zhang Shouchun slammed the script shut and clapped his hands, "Okay, how much do you want to invest? If Shaw Brothers doesn't give you enough, you can come to me to sign the part! Or I'll invest in all of it and distribute it to Shaw Brothers!"

Zhang Shouchun has also recently learned some knowledge about the Hong Kong film industry. He realized that after a film company makes a movie, it still has to find a distribution company to screen it in cinemas and theaters across the country.

In Southeast Asia, you can either look for Shaw Brothers or Cathay Pacific in Singapore, and in Taiwan, it's China Tai. There are more choices in Hong Kong, but you can't avoid Shaw Brothers.

"But I also have a small suggestion. The part about the anti-Japanese war in the movie should not be made too fake, such as tearing the devils apart with bare hands. Our country relied on constant bloodshed and sacrifice to fight against Japanese imperialism."

"Thank you, Mrs. Shouchun!" King Hu almost cried for joy. It is really not easy to be a director these days. There are not so many suckers or money launderers. If actors, screenwriters, and assistant directors want to become directors, it is not enough to just have someone to pull them in.

Didn’t you see that Li Hanxiang was already a famous film director of Shaw Brothers? His sworn brother King Hu also worked his way up from an actor and screenwriter, but it had been several years since he got the chance to truly become a director? Shout: Open the mic.

These days, we use real film. If a director doesn't understand camerawork, lighting, positioning, or even costumes and props, the resulting movie will be a bad one and a loss for sure. It's not like in the past when all he had to do was sit in the director's seat and shout "action" and then "cut," and everything would be OK.

You don't have to worry about other things like lighting and camera. So if a female star wants to be popular, she can't afford to offend the lighting and camera either. She also needs to pass the level.
Of course, many group heads are the first hurdle for daydreaming pretty girls.

For a while, the studio was filled with joy. The more work, the more money.
On the other side, Wang Deming was also having fun taking his children on a yacht near the waters of Lamma Island to fish and swim.

Lamma Island is far away from Hong Kong Island. It is still a pure land with clear water and blue sky. Only a few fishermen live here. They row wooden fishing boats to cast fishing nets or knock on the side of the boat to cast nets to catch fish. It is a pastoral scene.

Wang Deming's eldest daughter An Ning is already 5 years old. She brought her two 3-year-old brothers and tied lifebuoys around them, playing with her Thunder brothers in the shallow sea. From time to time, pleasant and crisp laughter could be heard.

The children were accompanied by several bodyguards and lifeguards.

Wang Deming and Mr. Huo, shirtless, wearing sunglasses, smoking cigars, drinking whiskey on the rocks, sat on the yacht with two fishing rods hanging in front of them, which they would lift and put down from time to time.

"De Ming, I think your idea of ​​promoting the establishment of a trade union is unlikely to go forward. Hong Kong actually has a trade union, but it's called the Federation of Industry and Commerce."

"Then what? Did they work? Did they really improve the treatment of the lower-class workers?" Wang Deming slowly picked up a fishing rod, put bait on it and put it back down. "In fact, the real name is not important. It can be called a certain charity."

"The key is that if Hong Kong wants to continue to develop well, the current state of purely exploiting the lower-class working people cannot last long. Brother Dong, you are in the real estate business and know better than me. If you hadn't first proposed selling pre-sale properties and making installments, how many people in Hong Kong would be able to afford houses?"

He asked leisurely, "For thousands of years, we Chinese have believed that only a house can be a family, but Hong Kong now has at least 300 million people, right? However, to be able to afford a house, the whole family has to empty out six wallets, so at most it can only be 6/1 or 3/1, right?"

"The ancients said that a successful person should help the world. Money nowadays is all printed on paper. Maybe one day they will start printing it randomly, just like the legal tender and gold yuan before liberation. Besides, how much money can we spend in our lifetime?"

"Nowadays, we have more money than we can spend. It's no problem to leave it to our descendants so that they can enjoy a life of luxury. Why not accumulate more good karma for yourself?"

Mr. Huo frowned, "There are various charities in Hong Kong. We can just spend some money and it can be deducted from taxes."
