On the twenty-first day of the release of "Best Partner" in New Arts City, the box office performance has reached more than 21 million, but compared with "God of Gamblers" released at the same time, the box office is 5 million short.

A cadre of shareholders in Xinyicheng clearly knows that if the attendance rate of Shaw Brothers' "God of Gamblers" is not less than 50% and continues to be screened, it is likely to reach a high box office of 30 million.

Zeng Zhiwei's heart smelled of vinegar, because an hour ago, Wang Jin asked him out and asked him if he was willing to come to Xu Ziming's film company. Xu Ziming's film company has not yet officially opened, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the film can be filmed.

Zeng Zhiwei's mind has been wavering, he and Xu Ziming are a little estranged from the original group of people, and after Lin Jianming became a shareholder in Xinyicheng, he began to worry about his status in Xinyicheng, and the money he made was not as much as a fraction of that of Huang Baiming and other shareholders.

Now that Wang Jinlai invited himself, he must have received Xu Ziming's consent, Xu Ziming is more generous, he also knows it, and the scripts he wrote are all big sellers, I heard Huang Baiming say in private, Xu Ziming gave him some unfinished semi-finished comedy scripts.

So when this meeting was over, I hurriedly thought of finding someone.

Hong Jinbao is well-known in the film industry for his morality and reliability, and even before he became popular, he wanted to form the Hong family class, and countless people came to take refuge with just one greeting.

Zeng Zhiwei was the one who took refuge in Hong Jinbao at that time, and he was originally a member of Liu's class.

When Zeng Zhiwei changed his career to become a screenwriter, he received the support of Hong Jinbao.

Now Zeng Zhiwei can't make up his mind about something, so he subconsciously wants to ask Hong Jinbao to help solve his doubts.

Zeng Zhiwei waited for four or five hours at Hong Jinbao's house before Hong Jinbao came back from the set. As soon as he saw Zeng Zhiwei, he joked: "Yo, what kind of wind brought the new art city here today?"

"The wind is blowing in the northwest, my mind is blowing out of my mind right now. Zeng Zhiwei sighed.

Hong Jin Baole said hehehe: "The audience's banknotes have entered the New Art City, why do you still look unsatisfactory when you are mixing in the New Art City?"

Zeng Zhiwei changed the topic and asked: "Brother Sanmao, when will your "Five Lucky Stars" start filming?"

Hung Jinbao said: "In a few days, I plan to invite Taiwan's Qin Xianglin to come and participate in this movie, not only to get a good box office in Hong Kong, but also to win the box office in Taiwan." ”

After Zeng Zhiwei's greetings, he suddenly said: "Brother Sanmao, Xu Ziming's film company wants to recruit me, should I go?"

"Xu Ziming is looking for you?" asked Hong Jinbao a little incredulous.

"Xu Ziming is not, it is Xu Ziming's follower Wang Jin. While Zeng Zhiwei explained, he was a little tempted in his heart.

Hong Jinbao pondered for a while, he had heard others say that the relationship between Wang Jin and Xu Ziming, a rich man, was iron, and he could wear a pair of pants if he was good, Wang Jin's meaning must also be Xu Ziming's meaning.

"What do you think of it yourself?" Hong Jinbao slightly meaningfully lifted the ball to think about Zeng Zhiwei.

Zeng Zhiwei smiled bitterly: "It's not that I can't make up my mind, that's why I want Brother Sanmao to help me make up my mind." ”

Hong Jinbao hummed and said, "Drink a glass of water first, I'll help you think about this matter." ”

Zeng Zhiwei begged for himself, Hong Jinbao naturally didn't dare to make any decisions indiscriminately, and he was also thinking about Xu Ziming's affairs now.

It stands to reason that although Xu Ziming's ability is good, the film company he has established now is not as good as the new art city that is in the limelight. Zeng Zhiwei is also not bad in Xinyi City, although he is not a shareholder, but when he changes to Xu Ziming's film company, Zeng Zhiwei cannot be a shareholder.

After Zeng Zhiwei drank three glasses of boiled water in a row, Hong Jinbao said thoughtfully: "Since Xu Ziming intends to invite you, I think you have a greater prospect for the development of Xu Ziming's film company. In Xinyicheng, Huang Baiming and Mecca and others advocate filming, and you are almost a follower, and you rarely have the opportunity to shoot films alone. ”

Zeng Zhiwei hesitated: "The current situation is indeed the case, but if I leave Xinyi City, will it be unkind to do so." ”

Obviously, Zeng Zhiwei has thought about this before, the key is to worry about the problem of face, although he himself is average in Xinyi City, but the treatment is also okay, I am afraid that after he jumps ship and leaves, what will others think of him.

Hong Jinbao said with a smile: "If Xu Ziming already has a lot of very good directors in his hands, I don't think Wang Jin will ask you to come out to talk alone, now you should be more valuable, and you have to pay attention to time when you sell at a price, now it is Xu Ziming who asks you to talk, and when you miss this opportunity, it is you who cry and beg for help." ”

Zeng Zhiwei was puzzled: "But if I want to go, then the people of Xinyi City won't hate me to death?"

Hong Jinbao helped him analyze: "You and I don't have the ability of Shao Daheng, Mr. Zou and Xu Ziming, we have to rely on human support to mix in the Hong Kong film circle." In addition to his own ability, he also has popularity. ”

Zeng Zhiwei nodded, a small person like him who got up from the bottom really relied on his own efforts, and he also relied on the support of the big people.

Hong Jinbao continued: "So it's not the point to choose which side to choose, the point is not to tear your face with anyone, and it can be regarded as leaving a way back for yourself." ”

Zeng Zhiwei said: "I don't want to fall out with Xinyicheng. ”

Hong Jinbao said with a smile: "If you leave Xinyicheng this time to cooperate with Xu Ziming, you still have to leave alone, as long as you take your subordinates with you, Xinyicheng will definitely treat you as an enemy." ”

Zeng Zhiwei immediately understood what Hong Jinbao wanted to say.

Hong Jinbao took the Hong family class to cooperate with Princess Jin, and now he can leave Princess Jin and return to Jiahe, the most important thing is that he didn't take Jiahe alone.

And now if Zeng Zhiwei leaves Xinyicheng with people, those people are not cultivated by him, and it doesn't matter if he goes with him or not, even if he follows him, the shareholders of Xinyicheng will hate him to the bone.

Hong Jinbao continued: "When Zou Wenhuai left the Shaw Brothers, he took away a group of backbones, and then the Shaw Brothers and Jiahe will not die. Once you take someone away, Xinyicheng will definitely suppress you like Shaw Brothers suppressed Golden Harvest back then. ”

Zeng Zhiwei replied: "Xu Ziming's screenwriter is very good, I read the newspaper today that the box office of "God of Gamblers" has reached 27 million, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it may exceed 30 million. He hissed when he spoke, which was even more terrifying than last year's "Best Partner".

Zeng Zhiwei let out a sigh, he basically had a choice in his heart. He knows that Xu Ziming is not only a very good screenwriter, but also has strong financial strength compared to Xinyicheng, which can indeed satisfy his interest in making films.

After leaving the new art city, you can come to the big platform.

Thinking of this, Zeng Zhiwei's thinking suddenly became clear, and he felt extremely relaxed all over his body, he smiled: "Brother Sanmao can see it clearly, I decided to go to Xu Ziming's film company." How about Brother Sanmao and I go tomorrow?"

Hong Jinbao thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I have something to do with Xu Ziming, so I'll take you on this ride." ”

On the day "Young Master Long" was released, Hong Jinbao looked for this opportunity to find Xu Ziming, and now that Zeng Zhiwei is here, he doesn't need to find any reason.

The next morning, as soon as Zeng Zhiwei finished the company's meeting, he took Hong Jinbao's car to the place where Wang Jin had agreed yesterday.

"Are you mistaken, the address that Wang Jin gave you yesterday is this place?" After the two got out of the car, they searched for a mansion according to the address, and the area of this mansion is not ordinarily large, and it is definitely qualified to be bought by the rich.

So Hong Jinbao would poke Zeng Zhiwei's clothes with his fingers, with a curious look on his face.

Zeng Zhiwei also looked confused, he thought to himself that it was Wang Jin's home, more or less a low bungalow, but this place was too big.

Hong Jinbao and Zeng Zhiwei have been in this place for an hour and a half, and the two of them have been looking at this mansion outside, and they have been looking at it, only deeply shocked, and they can't help but think in their hearts, how big is this, and the inferiority complex is spontaneously born.

So far, the brothers have bought a house for Hong Jinbao and spent most of their net worth. Zeng Zhiwei is still living in a shared house with others, Hong Jinbao's house is considered a good among ordinary people, three bedrooms and two living rooms, and the north-south transparency is considered a mansion, but compared with the one in front of him, it is completely incomparable.

The area of this mansion is quite impressive.

The two lingered for a while, until Wang Jin's figure appeared behind the car, and Zeng Zhiwei was convinced that this place was right.

Wang Jin saw that Zeng Zhiwei had an acquaintance next to him, and knew that it was Hong Jinbao, the third brother that Zeng Zhiwei said yesterday, and asked, "Why don't you go in, it's the house in front." ”

The three of them went in together, and after Wang Jin knocked on the door a few times, the door was slowly opened by an older woman.

Xu Ziming hung up the phone he had just made to Guan Du, and when he heard the knock on the door, he hurriedly came down from upstairs, and vaguely saw Zeng Zhiwei and others coming in, and now it was almost noon, he said to Fu Bo: "Fu Bo, eat at home at noon, you tell the kitchen to let them cook a few more dishes at noon", although Xu Ziming is now an orphan, there is one that has always been adhered to, that is, ordinary friends never bring it home, and what can be brought back is good, or it is particularly needed.

Fu Bo was accustomed to it, and he was also very happy, "Okay, I'll arrange it", turned around and went to arrange.

Xu Ziming's appearance shocked Zeng Zhiwei, Hong Jinbao's jaw was about to drop, no wonder this house was so luxurious, it turned out to be the home of Xu Ziming, a rich man.

"Mr. Zeng is here, Mr. Hong, why are you here too..." After Wang Jin beckoned the two of them to sit down, Xu Ziming took a windbreaker from the hanger and put it on. Walk in front of everyone's eyes.

Hong Jinbao said with a smile: "Of course, I admire Mr. Xu's talent, and the box office of "God of Gamblers" is a big hit, if I can cooperate with Mr. Xu, it will be absolutely cool." Hong Jinbao has a straightforward personality, Xu Ziming has experienced from the celebration banquet of "Best Partner" last time, and naturally there is no intention of complaining.

When Xu Ziming just wanted to say something, the phone upstairs remembered again, and Xu Ziming said apologetically: "Ah Jin will talk with you first, I've been busy dealing with the theater recently." ”

Zeng Zhiwei, Hong Jinbao can talk about it, of course he nodded in understanding.

Hong Jinbao and Zeng Zhiwei have been chatting with Wang Jin about related things. The two listened to Wang Jin say that this was Xu Ziming's residence, they were very surprised, the three of them chatted for more than an hour, Xu Ziming knew from the phone that after Guan Du finished sorting out the theater, he went downstairs and walked towards the three of them with confidence.

Xu Ziming looked at Wang Jin and said: "How about talking, if you can, it is expected that the company will be able to operate normally next week, and now the matter of the theater has been solved, and the difference is talent." Xu Ziming's eyes deliberately swept from Zeng Zhiwei and Hong Jinbao.
