Lin Zuhui came to the set of "A Comic to the End of the World" and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Boss, you're here!" Pan Cheng greeted him with a smile.
"Well, let me come to visit!" Lin Zuhui nodded and said.
In fact, he wanted to watch Zhou Xingchi act!
It's not that he still has a tendency to chase stars. Now Lin Zuhui has long regarded people in the entertainment industry as "actors". Of course, it doesn't mean that he looks down on them, after all, everyone is "equal"; but he feels that there is no need to be friends, or even
There is too much communication required, and he has no desire for the entertainment industry. He simply regards the women in the entertainment industry as his harem and famous actors as his money-making machine.
Zhou Xingchi will be DreamWorks' second money-making machine, the first being Chow Yun-wah.
"Boss, let me introduce you!"
"Um"
Pan Cheng knew that Lin Zuhui was interested in the actor Zhou Xingchi, and he wanted to ask DreamWorks to create a "nonsense" comedian to succeed Xu Guanwen and become the second generation comedy king in Hong Kong.
"This is director Liang Jiaren, he is also a well-known actor!"
Lin Zuhui's first reaction was, isn't this the top martial arts scholar in Washington?
Seeing Lin Zuhui extend his hand, Liang Jiaren quickly extended his hand and said with a smile: "Hello Lin Sheng, thank you DreamWorks for giving me a chance to be a director!"
Lin Zuhui smiled and said: "You're welcome, Manager Pan's recommendation will definitely be right!"
In fact, it was recommended by Lin Zuhui. Lin Zuhui is extremely familiar with every movie of Zhou Xingchi and most of the clips are in his mind.
However, he has only seen "A Comic to the End of the World" once or twice. In fact, he only knows the outline, but he does not value the box office of this movie.
He only cares about whether Zhou Xingchi can confirm his comedy style in this movie, so that he can film "The Gambler" in the second half of this year.
Next, Pan Cheng and Lin Zuhui introduced Zhou Xingchi.
"Boss, this is the 'nonsensical' comedian Zhou Xingchi our company is currently cultivating - Xingzi. He usually works very hard!"
Zhou Xingchi was very shy and even a little nervous. Lin Zuhui held his hand and fully felt that he was Xingchi!
"Boss, I'm Xingzi, please take care of me!"
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "I heard from Manager Pan that you are his apprentice, so I believe that sooner or later you will become 'Master Xing' one day, haha, work hard!"
"Thank you boss, thank you boss, I will work hard!" Zhou Xingchi said flattered.
Pan Cheng thought on the side that the boss planned a big way for this star boy. Fortunately, he was smart and signed a four-year contract for star boy. If he was really as popular as Chow Yun-wa, he would make seven or eight movies a year and make a lot of money for DreamWorks.
It’s so profitable, and I get a lot of commissions.
The next cast members are all the same cast, but the heroine is changed from Bai Anni to Zhang Min.
It's not that DreamWorks doesn't respect the original work, it's that Bai Anni has signed a contract with New Art City and has no schedule.
Moreover, except for the main actors and some supporting roles, Lin Zuhui did not force his return.
"Boss, I don't have any scenes today, so I am working as a staff member on the set!" Zhang Min said proactively again.
Last time at the "God of Gamblers" celebration party, Zhang Min also took the initiative to say hello.
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "I know you. I heard from Manager Pan that you usually work as an employee in the company when you are not filming. You work very hard!"
Zhang Min is not taken seriously at ATV, not to mention that ATV has also been acquired by Lin Zuhui. It is better to work as a clerk at DreamWorks than as a "flyer girl" at ATV.
"I just want to learn more, thank you DreamWorks for giving me this opportunity!" Zhang Min said.
"This is a good thing. The company has always had film appointments for you. Don't worry, the company will support you!"
Hearing Lin Zuhui say this, Zhang Min was immediately happy. The boss was definitely right when he said this!
Soon, the filming will continue!
Lam Cho-fai did not direct Zhou Xingchi in filming, this movie was just to test the waters!
Of course, if Chow Sing-chi still can't get into the state of "nonsensical comedy" when "The Gambler" starts filming, Lam Cho-fai will scold him bloody on the set.
The scene we were shooting today was a bar scene. Zhou Xingchi was still a waiter in the hotel, and the scene between him and the hotel manager was already a little bit nonsensical and funny.
After watching for a while, Lin Zuhui turned and left, leaving a group of people watching.
...
In the ATV conference room, Shuyi Zhou officially took office.
Zheng Yutong was the first to speak, and said to Shuyi Zhou: "You are more familiar with people in the TV and entertainment circles than I am. If you like anyone, feel free to hire them!"
Zhou Liangshuyi immediately accepted the task happily and said: "Well, Chairman. I will try my best to extend an olive branch to the talents of TVB. The people in front of and behind the scenes will work hard to give ATV a new look as soon as possible. I once served as a senior executive at TVB,
I am very familiar with the old staff of Wireless and have always had contacts with them. I know that some people at Wireless are not very satisfied with their stay. Once the contract is over, their work will be divided."
Zheng Yutong looked at Lin Zuhui and found that since the acquisition of ATV, Lin Zuhui, the leader, had kept a low profile and rarely made any remarks. Could it be that this guy was dissatisfied with his own power?
This is not a good thing, I still expect him to help!
"Zu Hui, please tell me your thoughts or clever tricks!" Zheng Yutong directly named him.
At this time, Lin Zuhui was appointed as the vice chairman and executive director of ATV, and he obviously wanted to participate in management.
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "It's hard for a good woman to make a meal without rice. Even though I have some ideas, ATV's cast cannot be on the stage now. I support the president's work and hope that you will form a strong team for our ATV as soon as possible. Don't spend money without pain."
Uncle Six is reluctant to let go, so we will make him heartbroken."
Zhou Liang Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief. What she was most worried about was that Lin Zuhui would not support her. But she knew that Lin Zuhui had excellent abilities, so it would be bad if she was left alone.
Zheng Yutong said to Zhou Shuyi: "It seems that Zu Hui is not satisfied with the current ATV, so you should win over the team as soon as possible, and then ask him for more advice. He must have clever strategies and good ideas! Haha!"
But he forced Lin Zuhui to participate more in the work of ATV and not to be a hands-off shopkeeper. To be honest, Zheng Yutong liked Lin Zuhui, and even more so Zhou Liang Shuyi. Who doesn't know how to spend money, but if he has clever plans and good ideas, it has to be Lin Zuhui.
Zhou Liang Shuyi nodded and said: "Vice Chairman Lin is my boss and a media tycoon in Hong Kong. I will definitely ask for your advice!"
Lin Zuhui smiled and nodded, but did not refuse!
He is not in a hurry to take power, nor is he in a hurry to increase his shareholding to a level higher than that of Zheng Yutong. He will take his time later.
However, Lin Zuhui directly suggested: "Gold Channel and Diamond Channel are a bit vulgar, so we should change their names to Hong Kong Channel and International Channel to make it clear at a glance!"
ATV has two channels, one is the Gold Channel (Chinese Channel) and the other is the Diamond Channel (English Channel).
When a new team takes office, it naturally has to come up with new tricks.
Zheng Yutong nodded and said: "That makes sense, I second your opinion!"
The two big bosses agreed, and a group of senior executives naturally seconded the proposal. As for the other two shareholders, none of them came to the meeting, including Qiu Degen, because he is not part of the management team now.
...
Tuesday, February 16, 1988.
Today is New Year's Eve. Lin Zuhui got up early, posted couplets and hung lanterns. The four wives were also doing it, and the family was full of joy.
The only drawback is that the villa is a bit small!
After purchasing eight villas in Huiyuan at one time, Lin Zuhui decided to take it easy and determined that a high-quality super villa would be worth buying. He could no longer afford ordinary small single-family villas.
Super villas are rare properties in Hong Kong. Currently, there are only about 100 units in Hong Kong, and no high-quality ones have been sold yet. Lin Zuhui knew that after May 1989, there were many people selling super villas in Hong Kong, and many of them were foreigners.
'Escape' from Xiangjiang.
"Brother Hui, do you want to help?" Wang Lingyin raised her head and said softly.
Lin Zuhui pasted the couplet in the right direction and said: "No, I can handle it!"
After waiting, Lin Zuhui asked: "Ling Yin! Uncle Wang, are you sure Aunt Sun is not angry? You came to my place to celebrate the New Year before you even walked through the door?"
Wang Lingyin flipped up her hair and said proudly: "No way, I came here after consultation. Why, Brother Hui doesn't welcome me here?" After saying that, he pretended to be sad.
The little girl back then is now 19 years old. Seeing more and more people around Lin Zuhui, she has not been able to obtain a legal status because of her studies. It would be a lie to say she is not anxious.
Therefore, she insisted on coming to Lin's to spend this Spring Festival because she and Lin Zuhui had already held an engagement ceremony.
"No way, you are the hostess here, why don't I welcome you? You know, I am worried that my mother-in-law will cause trouble for me."
Seeing what Lin Zuhui said, Wang Lingyin was immediately happy. His words not only revealed the problem of confirming his identity, but also revealed Lin Zuhui's respect for his parents.
After posting the couplet, Lin Zuhui walked into the villa, looked at Guan Jiahui and Cai Ning who was holding the child, and went up to kiss the two sons.
This is a family. If you don’t have children, how can you be a family?
On the other side, when Wang Zuxian saw Lin Zuhui coming in, he quickly said a few words on the phone, then hung up and greeted him.
"Why, are your parents worried that you won't be able to eat well during the Chinese New Year?"
"Well, let's chat casually!"
The two of them had a wave!
The atmosphere in the villa was good, and Lin Zuhui also enjoyed a perfect Spring Festival.
