"Hello, are you Mr. Zheng? I am a reporter from Hong Kong's Ming Pao newspaper. Can I do an interview for you?"
"Hello, I am a reporter from Hong Kong's "Wen Wei Po". Regarding your recent popular advertisement, I would like to conduct an interview for you alone!"
These media reporters all have a keen sense of smell and know which reports are valuable and which reports can increase newspaper sales.
Although the big stars of Shaw Brothers are eye-catching, Zheng Shaoqiu is more newsworthy now.
Facing the reporter's question, Zheng Shaoqiu showed an arrogant look on his face and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, please line up and take your time! That gentleman, don't crowd, don't crowd the children!"
"I respect the media and reporters very much! I will answer your questions one by one!"
Shi Zhijian looked at the scene in front of him. He was originally worried that Zheng Shaoqiu wouldn't be able to cope with it, but he didn't expect that Zheng Shaoqiu could handle it with ease. He looked exactly like an old man in the world. He didn't know who he learned it from, so he had to sigh again. Some people are born to eat this.
A mouthful of food.
Just as Shi Zhijian was thinking about it, he heard someone behind him say: "This is really a strong general with no weak soldiers."
Looking back, it was Zou Wenhuai.
Zou Wenhuai changed his dejected look from yesterday tonight. He was also wearing a suit and tie. He was also holding a glass of champagne in his hand. He looked like a boss and looked at Shi Zhijian who was smiling.
Shi Zhijian did not explain that Qiu Zai was self-taught, and although he was a little thick-skinned, he was not so shameless.
"Mr. Zou looks in good spirits tonight."
"You can't put on a bitter face at the Shaw Brothers Feast." Zou Wenhuai said. "And you, I originally thought you wouldn't accept the invitation and would work hard to create that "Myth" script."
"Don't worry, since I want to make a bet with you, I have already made preparations!"
"I'm waiting for good news from you!" Zou Wenhuaicai didn't believe that Shi Zhijian could really write an excellent script. Every line is like a mountain. Making a movie is not that simple!
"There are quite a few guests here tonight!" Shi Zhijian changed the topic and glanced around casually, pausing for a moment on a ghost guy.
The ghost guy was dressed in a very British style. Shi Zhijian inquired and found out that the man's name was "Berryco" and he was a senior adviser to the Water Supplies Department of the British Hong Kong Government.
"There are quite a few. Shaw Brothers are holding activities. How dare you not give me face?" Zou Wenhuai smiled and then pointed in front, "Let's go, I will take you to meet Shao Daheng."
"He wants to see me?"
"What do you think? Shao Daheng's status is extraordinary, and not everyone can see it!"
What Zou Wenhuai said is correct. Although Shao Yifu is a movie maker, he is one of the top celebrity tycoons in Hong Kong. Not only does he have a lot of money and many stars under his banner, but he also controls a large say in Hong Kong.
Therefore, a big shot like him usually meets with some powerful bosses, or some young talents who have caught his eye.
As for Shi Zhijian, it's a bit more subtle.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Shi Zhijian is a handsome young man, but it was he who secretly set Shao Daheng up to make Shao Daheng miss him.
Shao Daheng is arrogant and has always been a master who refuses to suffer losses.
Zou Wenhuai led Shi Zhijian there. Shi Zhijian didn't care about Zheng Shaoqiu. It was unreasonable for him to be so cruel to him.
…
Over there, Shao Daheng was surrounded by a group of people chatting, including some senior executives of Shaw Brothers, as well as some super bosses in Hong Kong, including the head of the Lee family in Hong Kong, Lee Siu-tin, the chairman of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, Su Wenhai, and the Hong Kong Transport Association.
Chairman Lei Juekun and others.
Just one of these people is the most powerful person in Hong Kong.
Seeing Zou Wenhuai coming with Shi Zhijian, Shao Yifu said sorry to everyone, and then motioned to Zou Wenhuai to take Shi Zhijian to the other side.
So Shi Zhijian passed by Li Zhaotian, Su Wenhai, Lei Juekun and others, and walked straight towards Shao Yifu.
Li Zhaotian and others only glanced at Shi Zhijian one more time, and then started talking to each other again. To them, Shi Zhijian was simply an unknown person, so how could he be in their eyes.
…
In a secluded leisure area, there is a tempered glass coffee table. There are two people sitting next to the coffee table.
A man in his thirties, wearing a suit and leather shoes, wearing glasses and behaving in a polite manner, saw Shao Daheng coming and hurriedly stood up to say hello.
Zou Wenhuai followed Shi Zhijian and introduced in a low voice: "Zhou Duwen, now the manager of Shaw Brothers Production Department."
The other person was a little older, in his forties, with a slicked back hair. When Shao Daheng came over, he just nodded slightly, and his posture was very conspicuous.
Zou Wenhuai introduced this person with only four words: "This person's surname is Qiu."
Arriving at the coffee table, Shao Daheng sat down directly next to the man named Qiu. Zhou Duwen, who was originally talking to Mr. Qiu, naturally moved his seat and sat on the other side of Shao Daheng.
Shi Zhijian and Zou Wenhuai sat across from the three of them.
"Is it Mr. Shi? I wonder what you like to drink?" Shao Yifu asked.
Shi Zhijian smiled: "Whatever you want to drink, I'll drink whatever you like."
"Okay, let me bring you a bottle of red wine." Shao Yifu told the waiter waiting next to him.
The waiter bowed and went to prepare the drinks.
Here, Shi Zhijian naturally leaned forward slightly, about ten centimeters from the edge of the coffee table, as if he was ready to listen carefully.
Shao Yifu was very satisfied with Shi Zhijian's gesture. With a distance of ten centimeters, he neither seemed flattering nor aloof. This young man was very good at it.
"May I ask Mr. Shi Gui Geng?"
"eighteen."
"You are so young, you really are a hero from a young age." Shao Yifu praised.
"Where to graduate?"
"Huangren Academy."
"Good school!" Shao Yifu praised again.
Queen's College is the earliest government secondary school in Hong Kong and teaches in English. Anyone who graduates from this college will basically have a bright future.
Huo Daheng, who is now quite successful in the shipping industry and real estate industry, graduated from Queen's College.
At this time, the red wine was brought up, and the waiters poured the wine in turn. First it was Mr. Qiu, who must be a distinguished guest of Shao Daheng, then Shao Daheng himself, and then Shi Zhijian, Zou Wenhuai and Zhou Duwen.
Guest relationships are clear at a glance.
Shao Yifu held up the red wine glass with his right hand and shook it. The red wine swirled in the glass.
“Italy’s authentic cellared red wine from Monte Osto, please give it a try.”
Everyone raised their glasses together.
Shi Zhijian was neither humble nor arrogant. He took a sip gracefully and savored the taste of the red wine. It was good.
Shao Daheng observed Shi Zhijian's behavior and compared and analyzed it with the tips he received.
Shi Zhijian was born in Shek Kip Mei. He once served as a military policeman. He was dismissed from his post for some reason. His family environment was poor!
Is this like a child from a poor family?
Shao Daheng was confused about the information he received.
"Mr. Shi, why did I invite you here this time?" Shao Yifu asked again.
Shi Zhijian put down his wine glass, took a tissue and dipped it in the corner of his mouth very politely, and then said: "Shouldn't we celebrate the box office of "The One-Armed Sword" breaking one million?"
Shao Yifu smiled but said nothing.
Next to him, Zhou Duwen started to take the lead: "I'm sorry, Mr. Shi, but we are actually very curious about you."
"Curious, what are you curious about?"
"I wonder why you thought of buying out the show "One-Armed Sword" at such a young age."
Others also looked at Shi Zhijian and waited for his answer. After all, Shaw Brothers had filmed so many movies, why Shi Zhijian chose this one was a bit too weird.
Shi Zhijian knew it well and had already guessed that people would ask this question, so he smiled slightly and said, "You may not know that my father is a shoemaker."
"So what?"
"He passed away."
"So what?"
"Not long ago, he gave me a dream and told me that "One-Armed Sword" was going to explode!"
Zhou Duwen shut up.
Lao Dou is dreaming?
This works too?!
Shao Yifu smiled.
Mr. Qiu next to him also laughed.
Zou Wenhuai glanced at Shi Zhijian and secretly praised: "Sharp!"
Shi Zhijian was very grateful to that dead ghost father who he had never met before, and he didn't know how many times he had helped him. Every time he just asked for a dream, he passed the test directly.
"Now, Mr. Shi, I am a materialist and I still disagree with your answer." Zhou Duwen said again.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou? I guess you and your father must have a very bad relationship."
"Why?"
"Because your father has never entrusted you with dreams!"
Zhou Duwen lost his temper and was about to continue to fight back against Shi Zhijian. At this time, Shao Yifu said: "This dream is a good one! You will get more than half of the one million box office! You are a good father!"
Uh, why does this sentence sound so familiar?
Shi Zhijian thought for a while and remembered that it was Lei Luo who said it.
"But did your father tell you when he was dreaming about whether you could really take away these box office tickets?"
Shao Daheng made an understatement and then took a sip of red wine.
What's the meaning?
Could it be that the famous Shao Daheng is planning to play dirty?!
