"Zhang Sheng, I really want to thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have the opportunity to play the leading role in a movie."
After returning to the room, Bruce Lee sincerely expressed his gratitude to Zhang Zhonghua, because he was so excited, and at the same time he knew very well that without Zhang Zhonghua, he would never have the chance to participate in this movie that is destined to be a global sensation.
"Li Sheng, you don't have to be polite. This is all the result of your own efforts. Your performance in the movie was so wonderful. Without your wonderful performance in previous movies, they would not have agreed to let you play the leading role in the movie."
."
Zhang Zhonghua said to Bruce Lee nonchalantly.
"No matter what, I have to thank you, because you wrote the wonderful script, otherwise it would be useless no matter how good my acting is."
Bruce Lee said sincerely.
"However, the follow-up treasure hunt series of this movie will probably add a lot of comedy elements. If you still want to continue to play the leading role, I'm afraid you will have to change your style.
If you can't adapt to the style of subsequent movies, it is estimated that the protagonist of that series of movies will still be replaced by a white man from an ugly country. There is no way that Hollywood culture is like this, but even if the protagonist is replaced by a white man, you will definitely be the second male lead.
s position."
Bruce Lee also understood what Zhang Zhonghua said. He understood that even if he could adapt to the style of the series of movies, sooner or later he would have to give way, and the best outcome would be to become a double protagonist.
This is because Zhang Sheng is behind him, otherwise no matter how good his performance is, he will be replaced, and then he will be slowly marginalized in this series of movies until he disappears completely.
From the perspective of Ugly people, the final responsibility of saving the world in Hollywood movies must fall on them, white people, so it would be good for them to play the second male lead.
Bruce Lee's previous movies were all supporting roles, or even cameos, and some even appeared for only half a minute. Even if he had secured his position as the second male lead, he would be content now.
"I understand what you said. I will also go to the film school to study hard. It is indeed not easy for us people in the hot summer to get along in Hollywood. I must show my appearance."
Bruce Lee sighed.
"It's best if you understand this. There is a big difference between our Eastern culture and Western culture in Europe and the United States. Hollywood is in Ugly Country, and Ugly Country is also the largest ticket warehouse in the world. Naturally, they want to make movies that cater to Ugly people's tastes.
."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a bitter smile.
There are very few Chinese-language films that will enter Hollywood in the future, and they are basically in a state of failure. Not to mention winning awards at the Oscar and Cannes awards ceremonies, there are only a few that are qualified to accompany them.
Although Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Gong Li, Chow Yun-fat, and Zhang Ziyi have entered Hollywood and are known as international superstars, most of the time they only play male and female leads, with very few opportunities to play leading roles. Hollywood is really hard to get along with!
"By the way, Mr. Zhang, Columbia wants to sign me, and I would like to ask what your opinion is."
After listening to Bruce Lee's words, Zhang Zhonghua frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said: "It's really hard to say. Although there are many independent companies that can cooperate with Hollywood giants, there are only a few who have this qualification. Those people only
You can support a movie by relying on your own fame.
If you want to set up an independent company, I'm afraid it will be more difficult. Everyone is not on the same level, and it will be more difficult to get along in Hollywood.
It’s best to sign a contract first, and try to sign a five-year short-term contract when signing the contract. You can also transform into a director in the future. Of course, there is a risk of being hidden when signing a contract.”
What Zhang Zhonghua was thinking was that if Bruce Lee had a successful career in Hollywood and then became a little distracted or encountered a few studio tyrants and took action against the studio tyrants, the consequences would be...
Tsk tsk tsk, I can’t imagine it.
If Bruce Lee is hidden by Hollywood, he will basically say goodbye to the big screen. There are many super stars who are hidden in Hollywood. Even the best actor and actress who has won the Oscar for Best Actor and Actor cannot escape.
Zhang Zhonghua stayed in Chou Country for more than half a month. After the matter in Chou Country came to an end, he took a flight from Chou Country back to Dongjin, Japan.
Japan was the last stop of his inspection. As for Europe? It would be better not to go there. If he wanted to visit Europe again, it would take another month or two.
After inspecting Japan for several days, Zhang Zhonghua took off from Dongjin International Airport and flew to Kai Tak Airport on Hong Kong Island.
Zhang Zhonghua has been abroad for nearly a month this time. Generally speaking, he is quite satisfied and the harvest is good. Zhang Zhonghua is also quite happy.
After seeing ARPANET, the prototype of the future Internet, Zhang Zhonghua also submitted relevant software that needed to be adjusted to the National Computer Association.
And there is also an unexpected gain, that is, the successful investment in Korn Ferry International. With Korn Ferry International, it will provide a huge boost to the talent recruitment of Yuhuang Group in the future.
As for the several literary awards, although they are not bad, they are actually of little use. The Nebula Award and Pulitzer Prize for Literature trophies can only be placed in the office on the top floor of the Jade Emperor Building for decoration.
Bruce Lee's movies have also been released around the world, and the weekend box office of "Ugly Country" was as high as four million US dollars. It was a huge box office hit, and the total box office in the future will definitely be a lot.
Not long after Zhang Zhonghua returned to Yuhuang Building, the general manager of Yuhuang Securities came to the office to report to Zhang Zhonghua.
The stock market should be doing well now. What happened now? Zhang Zhonghua was very curious. He had specifically told him not to come to him if there was no big deal.
"Boss, the first Yanxiaren Stock Exchange on Hong Kong Island was established. It was Li Zhaofu who founded the Far East Stock Exchange. This matter has been aroused recently and the city is full of uproar."
Hearing the big news brought by the general manager of Yuhuang Securities, Zhang Zhonghua also understood what he meant by coming to him. The first Yanxia stock exchange is of great significance, and it will be more convenient for local companies to go public in Yanxia.
, it’s definitely a big deal.
The previous Hong Kong Stock Exchange was established by the British. The people who speculated in stocks on the stock exchange were basically hot money from Southeast Asia. The locals on Hong Kong Island who could trade stocks were the upper class. The entire stock market was all in English.
Although English education on Hong Kong Island is relatively popular, it still mainly covers the elite class. It is too difficult for ordinary investors to invest in stocks.
"This is indeed not a matter of looking for trouble. What is the specific situation?"
Zhang Zhonghua said that he really didn’t know much about the stock market. What he knew was about big things, such as the U.S. forcing Japan to sign the Plaza Accord, Soros sweeping Southeast Asia, etc. He didn’t know anything about the establishment of a stock exchange on Hong Kong Island.
You know the devil.
"The Far East Stock Exchange must have been established some time ago, maybe even last year. It is located at the Yanxia Pedestrian Building on Queen's Road in Central. However, before that, transactions were conducted privately and secretly, until hundreds of phone lines were opened.
was exposed.
Li Siu Fook is a descendant of the famous Li Pui Chai family in Hong Kong. The Li Pui Chai family, the Ho Tung family, the Lee Hysan family, and the Law Man Kam family are also known as the "four major families" on Hong Kong Island, with tentacles all over Hong Kong Island.
The marriage alliance of the Li Peicai family on Hong Kong Island is even more complicated. There are many descendants who are engaged in politics and business, but few can afford to offend them. It can be said that they are deep-rooted and intricate.
After graduating from the University of Hong Kong, Li Siu-fu studied abroad in China, received an MBA from the University of Pennsylvania, and then entered the family business to conduct research in the financial field.
This time, Li Siu Fook joined hands with the Robert Ho Tung family, the Luo Man Kam family and various famous wealthy families in Hong Kong to establish it. Although the Hong Kong government is powerful, there is no way to resist the alliance of so many families at the same time.
In the end, the Hong Kong Governor's Government had no choice but to approve its establishment, and the current situation on Hong Kong Island indeed requires the establishment of a second exchange to serve the businesses of the hot summer people."
Ren Guibin briefed Zhang Zhonghua on the relevant situation.
After listening, Zhang Zhonghua nodded and said: "Yes, Hong Kong Island's economy is continuing to recover. It turns out that the Hong Kong Island Stock Exchange is indeed difficult to meet people's needs. It is all in English and it is not convenient for the development of the stock market. We should indeed establish our Hot Summer Stock Exchange
People’s own stock exchange.”
At this time, there were not many people participating in securities trading on Hong Kong Island.
Except for a very small number of elites and people with high cultural levels, most ordinary citizens don't know much about what the stock exchange does. They don't have a few cents left in their monthly salary, so they don't have the time to pay attention to financial stocks.
But things will be different after the establishment of the Far East Stock Exchange. Zhang Zhonghua estimates that the Far East will successfully list dozens of Yanxiaren companies, expand the scale of the stock market, and make the pool bigger.
The stock market and securities exchange can be considered a new industry. It has officially entered the attention of the people in Hong Kong. You can buy a stock for a few dollars and it will rise to ten dollars in two or three days. What a great thing.
.
Moreover, the stock market is a numbers game that does not require physical labor or much knowledge. Who would not be tempted by such obvious benefits?
If you can easily earn several times the money, who would want to go to work early and come back late every day? With such huge benefits, countless Hong Kong Island citizens will definitely flock to the exchange to buy stock securities.
After the popularity of securities trading, the first person to try something is bound to make huge profits. Then when the people around me see how much money they can make, a large number of people will inevitably flood into the stock market with the money they have saved all their lives.
.
After all, people die for money, and birds die for food. Money and silk move people's hearts.
However, these ordinary citizens who poured into the stock market did not understand stocks and could only blindly follow the recommendations of stock managers, so the stock market was also speculated in this way.
Countless citizens have entered the stock market to drive the development of the stock market. Many people will even quit their jobs to speculate in the stock market full-time. Hong Kong Island will officially enter the so-called era of shark fin fishing. In this way, the third and fourth exchanges will be established one after another.
Then the bubble burst, the stock market crash came, countless people went bankrupt, and many even committed suicide by jumping off buildings.
"However, the establishment of the Far East Exchange is not entirely a good thing. The addition of an additional exchange also adds a lot of trouble. There are currently no listed companies on the Far East Stock Exchange, and stock information must be obtained from the Hong Kong Island Stock Exchange."
Ren Guibin said.
"Don't worry, there will be a listed company soon."
"By the way, boss, our four securities companies have now purchased the brokerage licenses of the Far East Stock Exchange, each paying a deposit of HK$500,000 for HK$80,000."
Ren Guibin said to Zhang Zhonghua.
"This is not a big deal. You must do a good job in the statistical work of the Jade Emperor Index and reserve a fixed position in the financial section of the Jade Emperor Daily.
By the way, how is the index computer system now? Does it need to be modified again? Try to leave it to the computer and then manually calculate it to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Zhang Zhonghua said to Ren Guibin.
“However, it is indeed very troublesome for brokers in exchanges now. In the exchange, they have to answer the phone, read quotations, draw on the blackboard, etc. It is not only troublesome but also prone to errors.
If computer technology could be introduced into Hong Kong Island’s stock exchange, it would be similar to the U.S. stock market and much more convenient.”
Zhang Zhonghua still agreed with Ren Guibin's words, but the interests involved were so great that even the U.S. stock market was shut down.
Just like the classic stock disappearing technique in the American stock market, the stock rose sharply, and then... investors wanted to make a lot of money, and Wall Street simply made the stock disappear, and the code was gone.
The Hong Kong Island Stock Exchange is not far behind. Backed by British capital, there are always ways to attack the development of the Far East Stock Exchange.
"Let's discuss this matter later. Now the Hong Kong Island Stock Exchange may not be willing to share information with the Far East Stock Exchange.
Only when the companies listed on the Far East Stock Exchange reach a certain scale can we do this. We just need to maintain good relations with the two exchanges and don't do anything superfluous."
Zhang Zhonghua thought for a while and said to Ren Guibin.
"Now that you have your input method, boss, it will be much easier for the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to use computer trading. They don't care about the investment cost of the equipment. They will probably have it soon."
"How is our investment in the stock market now?"
"It's very good. Now the stock market is gradually recovering, the daily trading volume is not small, and there are still quite a few goods received."
"Yes, I will buy some stocks of various kinds in the future, but don't affect the circulation of stocks in the stock market. If it doesn't work, you can sell them to yourself."
Ren Guibin was speechless when he heard the saucy operation coming from Zhang Zhonghua's mouth. However, the stocks of some listed companies they acquired had exceeded the number held by shareholders of the listed companies. As an outsider, Yuhuang Group was not suitable to be the first to acquire Ying.
capital company.
"Boss, do we also need to arrange for our company to be listed on Hong Kong Island?"
Ren Guibin asked.
“It will definitely go public, but as for which company will be listed, we will decide later based on the situation.
Nowadays, the various subsidiaries of the group are growing rapidly and are not suitable for listing. Moreover, the company has been established for a relatively short time and cannot meet the requirements for listing.
And even if it is listed, it will be listed in multiple places. Several companies suitable for listing are too big, but the Hong Kong stock market is too small."
