In 1924, Qiu Degen was born in a small merchant family in the mainland, due to the poverty of the family, only a few months of junior high school dropped out of school to work hard, at the age of fifteen to Shanghai Daguang Cinema as a small worker, a few years later, with a sum of money saved, rented a small theater and renamed "Metropolis". In 1950, after he and his wife fled to Xiangjiang, with the livelihood of running a small theater, let him slowly gain a foothold in Xiangjiang, and in 10 years, he reached 14 theaters in Xiangjiang, and he also had a lot of funds on hand, Qiu Degen began to develop into other industries, establish Far Eastern money villages, buy land, invest in other industries, business is becoming more and more prosperous, and more and more industries are involved, such as banking, real estate, securities, tourism, food, flour, hotels, warehouses, theaters, Newspapers also have his investment, in Indonesia, the United States, Canada have his founded enterprises, after the establishment of the Far East Group, the business is booming, in 62 years bought Liyuan amusement park, in 79 years to build Songcheng next to Liyuan, in 82 years to buy Li's TV renamed Asia Television, in Xiangjiang is the same level as Shao Yifu tycoon.

In an inconspicuous teahouse in the corner of Songcheng, in the face of such a heavyweight tycoon, Wang Zheng no longer cowered as when he first arrived in Xiangjiang, and he behaved neither humbly nor hurried to express his intentions in front of Qiu Degen.

"Ah Zheng, what do you think of my Song City?"

The two sat opposite each other at the tea table, and Qiu Degen didn't ask Wang Zheng's intention, but talked about this Song City.

"If there are no high-rise buildings around, from a distance, it is like Bianliang, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, has passed through thousands of years and is located on the Xiangjiang River. ”

Wang Zheng replied sincerely, if it weren't for the poor management of the Far Eastern Group in later generations, which led to the final demolition of Songcheng, it would definitely be a characteristic scenic spot in Xiangjiang.

Wang Zheng's praise made Qiu Degen very happy, and he laughed and said: "Songcheng is still a little smaller, I am ready to invest 500 million Hong Kong dollars in Singapore to build a "Tang City", and restore Chang'an, which came to the dynasty thousands of years ago, one by one." ”

Seeing Qiu Degen talking about Song Cheng, Wang Zheng got straight to the point and said: "I came to meet Boss Qiu today uninvited, because of Song Cheng!"

Qiu Degen, who has seen countless ups and downs, has long guessed Wang Zheng's intention, and the reason why he didn't turn him away because he did things for Shaw Brothers is because Qiu Degen admires Wang Zheng's talent in movies very much, and when he told the reason, Qiu Degen smiled faintly: "I want to hear about it." ”

"Shaw Brothers' Chinese New Year movie this year, filming has come to an end, and I don't think the original design of a Western-style wedding is very suitable, so I want to rent a venue in Songcheng to shoot a Chinese-style wedding!"

After Wang Zheng explained the reason, he stared at Qiu Degen's facial expression, wanting to see his attitude towards this matter.

If other people from the Shaw Brothers make this kind of request to him, Qiu Degen will definitely feel funny, who in Xiangjiang does not know that he and Shao Tycoon are fighting in the film and television industry in the dark, and they have resorted to various means to seize the ratings, although ATV loses more and wins less, but renting Songcheng to Shaw Brothers Films, he will refuse without thinking about it, just because it is Wang Zheng, the latest director of Xiangjiang, who made the request, Qiu Degen does not believe that Wang Zheng does not know the relationship between Far Eastern Group and Shaw Brothers, which makes him a little interested, and asks with a slight smile: " Renting Songcheng for filming, I don't know what your attitude is towards Boss Shao?"

Wang Zheng said bluntly: "I am the chief producer of this drama, and I don't need to ask the sixth uncle for filming in Songcheng!"

"That's interesting, wireless is our ATV's biggest competitor, Ah Zheng, do you think I will agree to lease Songcheng to Shaw Brothers?"

Qiu Degen laughed to himself after speaking, as if he had told a very funny joke.

Qiu Degen's somewhat mocking laughter did not annoy Wang Zheng, he said lightly: "Boss Qiu is a businessman, since he is a businessman, I will come up with enough interest to let Boss Qiu rent Song Cheng to the Shaw Brothers." ”

Qiu Degen stopped laughing and asked with great interest: "I don't know how much rent the Shaw Brothers are going to take? ”

Wang Zheng shook his head and said with a light smile: "Renting Songcheng Shao Clan is not involved, it is just my personal decision, and I am ready to exchange a sentence for Boss Qiu's consent." ”

Qiu Degen was stunned when he heard this, obviously didn't believe Wang Zheng's statement, and laughed: "I only heard that Ah Zheng is a master of storytelling, but I didn't know that your words could be so sharp, if you take out a story like "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in exchange, I will definitely agree." ”

Unexpectedly, Qiu Degen's appetite was quite big, Wang Zheng shook his head and smiled: "Boss Qiu, don't underestimate this sentence, in my opinion, the value of it will not be lower than the value of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"!"

"I don't know what it is?"

Seeing that Wang Zheng didn't seem to be joking, Qiu Degen took this sentence seriously.

"Film and television are the table, tourism is the inside, and culture is the soul!"

Seeing Qiu Degen's thoughtful expression, Wang Zheng explained: "Since the Far Eastern Group bought Liyuan, the focus of its business has begun to bias towards tourism, which can be seen from Boss Qiu's construction of Songcheng and the upcoming Tangcheng. The literal meaning of the phrase "film and television as the table, tourism as the inside, and culture as the soul" is very easy to understand, and now Songcheng has a great reputation in Xiangjiang, which has made Boss Qiu earn a lot, but the concept of only opening the scene to ATV is a big failure. ”

Ignoring Qiu Degen's frowning, Wang Zheng continued: "Nowadays, Xiangjiang produces hundreds of movies and dozens of dramas every year, of which costume dramas account for one-third, and these films are sold all over the world. These ancient buildings and historical culture in Song City will fascinate many ghosts, I wonder if Boss Qiu has thought about it?"

Picking up the slightly cold tea on the table and drinking it dry, Wang Zheng finally said: "If Boss Qiu opens the Song and Tang dynasties to other film companies, he will not only bring rich benefits to the Far Eastern Group, but also make a lot of contributions to the global dissemination of Chinese culture!"

After Wang Zheng finished speaking, he stopped speaking, poured out the slightly cold tea in the teapot, added new tea leaves and added hot water to brew again.

Qiu Degen, who had been frowning and pondering, stretched his brows for a long time, applauded vigorously with his wide palm, and exclaimed: "Ah Zheng, you are not only the youngest and best director in Xiangjiang, but also see things in the business field so thoroughly, I, Qiu Degen, have been in the shopping mall for more than 30 years, and today I feel that I am a little sitting in the well and watching the sky, and I can't see far without you as a descendant, "film and television are the table, tourism is the inside, and culture is the soul" This sentence is definitely higher than the value of a story!"

Wang Zheng said modestly: "Boss Qiu is serious, as the so-called bystanders are clear, Boss Qiu just didn't think of it for a while." ”

Qiu Degen laughed: "Don't call me Boss Qiu so much, call me Uncle Gen in the future, no matter whether you will stay in the Shaw Brothers or not, I have made up your friends who are born after the boy, Song Cheng will be open to your crew from now on, you don't need to pay a penny, you can mention any request to Secretary Wang!"

Qiu Degen's atmosphere made Wang Zheng smile slightly: "Then there is Uncle Laogen!"
