Chapter 65 Qingshui Tea House
14K is one of the old associations in Xiangjiang, founded in 49 years, once became the largest community in the whole Xiangjiang, in the 80s, the number of new power associations such as New Ngee An, and Shenghe multiplied, and the status of 14K was constantly challenged.
On the way back from the carnival bar, Wang Zheng and Uncle Jian took a ride in the same car, during which Uncle Jian told him some past events.
In the early 50s, Uncle Jian first came out to work hard, and most young people began to struggle for their ideals, opened a seafood stall in Saigon, the initial business was booming, and the days were very comfortable, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, some associations began to levy protection fees, as more and more fees to be paid, Uncle Jian was unable to make a living and rebelled angrily, organized a group of fishmongers who were persecuted to grab the territory, and after having a little reputation, he was recruited by the triad organization 14K Society, starting from the ordinary members of Sijiu Tsai, all the way from straw sandals, white paper fans, After the 78 years of the "Lisboa Bloody Case", the leading position of the community was vacant, and Uncle Jian refused the position of the leading boss at that time, and since then he has withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, and returned to his hometown in Yuen Long to start the original tea restaurant.
In a moving black car, after listening to Uncle Jian next to him, Wang Zheng felt like watching a wonderful movie, from being oppressed and resisting at the beginning to the heart of letting go of everything at the end.
Uncle Jian sighed and said: "I'm already old, now it's the world of you young people, I heard Da Fei say that you are doing well in the film industry, then work hard, don't worry that Xin Yi'an will trouble you again!"
"Uncle Jian, you are only in your fifties, how can you be old, our Shaw Brothers bosses are in their 70s, and they are still passionate in the broadcasting industry, and they are inseparable from several major film companies and Asia Television, you must not be old!" Wang Zheng said with relief.
Uncle Jian laughed: "I really want to learn more from Boss Shao, and later introduce a brother of mine who knows you, mixed in the film industry like you, is our 14K's most powerful double-flower red stick, won the Southeast Asian boxing championship, and at this year's "World Elite Fighting Championship", it only took 30 seconds to beat the Dongying people down, which is very glorious for us Chinese!"
Wang Zheng was a little surprised, it was impossible for such a powerful character not to know, could it be him?
Sure enough, Uncle Jian then revealed the answer: "His name is Chen Huimin, he is the current marshal of 14K, if there is a club to trouble you in the future, you will find him directly, after all, I have left 14K, people go to tea and cool, and some people may not sell my face after a long time." ”
"Okay, thank you Uncle Jian!"
For Uncle Jian's selfless help, Wang Zheng remembered it closely.
...
After this night, Wang Guojing immediately left Xiangjiang for a vacation abroad, Wang Zheng really didn't want to do anything to him, just his appearance of being a thief, I believe that he will not continue to entangle Guan Zhilin in the future, and this matter is over.
On February 15, the third day of the Lunar New Year, during the Spring Festival holiday, the theater attendance rate increased, and the attendance rate of "Best Partner Shows His Talents" was as high as 85%, with a cumulative box office of 11.8 million Hong Kong dollars. "Crazy Stone" has an attendance rate of 86%, with a cumulative box office of 11 million Hong Kong dollars, closely behind.
It may only be a matter of time before the box office of "Crazy Stone" surpasses the former, and Shao Daheng likes to hear it, and he meets the main creators of the crew for morning tea early in the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year.
In the area of the villa in the middle of Clear Water Bay, there is a teahouse called "Qingshui", which is a very ordinary and simple name.
Although the name of Qingshui Tea House is simple, it has a high popularity among the wealthy class in Xiangjiang, located in a place near the mountains and seas, with beautiful scenery and pleasant air, and the most important thing is that the Hong Kong-style dim sum shrimp dumplings, dry steamed siu mai, barbecued pork buns, egg tarts, etc., the taste is a must.
The private room on the second floor of Qingshui Tea House is decorated with classical elegance, the floor-to-ceiling window is an endless sea horizon, the rising sun on the sea surface sheds a faint golden light, and occasionally a few seabirds cross the sky.
The mahogany table is full of all kinds of breakfast, the steaming black tea wafts out a faint tea fragrance, the first seat on the mahogany round table is Shao Yifu and Fang Yihao, and the next one sits Wang Zheng, Liang Chaowei, Liu Dehao, Zhou Xingchi, Da Fei, Wu Mengda, these crew members, in addition to Wang Tianlin, Du Qifeng, two Shaw Brothers directors, as for Wu Zhenyu, several newcomers are not among the invitation of the tycoon.
Today's Wang Tianlin is almost 60, since he started to be a director at the age of 22, it has been almost 30 years, during which he has also been a screenwriter and actor, and has become popular with countless stars, from the beginning of the 70s to TVB, he has made great contributions to the rise of wireless for more than ten years, and is one of the most famous directors in Xiangjiang today.
When everyone was eating and drinking, Shao Daheng put down the teacup in his hand and began to speak.
"There are two main things to bring everyone together today, one is to celebrate the new movie breaking through the 10 million box office during the Lunar New Year, successfully bringing a threat to the new art city, judging from the current trend of box office growth, it is very promising to win the championship of this year's Chinese New Year!"
"The second is about TVB's program production, since the Far Eastern Group's Qiu Degen acquired Li's TV and changed its name to Asia Television, it has competed with our TVB everywhere, this year to hold a Kia TV artist training class, and now it is applying to the Hong Kong government for the "Miss Asia" election competition, and we "Miss Hong Kong" competition, such a blatant provocation, we wireless will not sit idly by, the company has been authorized by Mr. Zha Liangyong, ready to remake his novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!
After listening to Shao Tycoon's words, Wang Tianlin and Du Qifeng's faces did not change, indicating that the two had already known the news. On the other hand, Liang Chaowei, Zhou Xingchi, and Wu Mengda on the side were all full of excitement, obviously looking forward to this TV series, and hoped to participate in the production. And Wang Zheng, Da Fei, and Liu Dehao are very indifferent, Da Fei's character of the middle two has no reaction to understand, Liu Dehao's indifference makes Wang Zheng a little puzzled, there should be few actors in this era who are not interested in the protagonist in Jin Yong's novel.
Seeing everyone's mixed reactions, Shao Daheng then spoke: "Tianlin and Ah Feng will be the producers and directors of this play, gather everyone here today, I hope that Ah Zheng and Ah Feng will jointly direct this play, Ah Wei, Ah Xing, and you can also participate in the roles!"
Shao Tycoon's words made Zhou Xingchi and a few people very surprised, Wang Zheng was a little surprised, the 83 version of the Legend of the Condor Heroes is definitely a classic among the classics, and it will cause thousands of empty ratings scenes in later generations, and he is honored to be able to participate in the production of it, but even if he directs this drama, if he doesn't make it good, the classics may be lost in his own hands.
"Sixth uncle, I think it's better to let Brother Feng take the lead, when filming the ghost blowing the lantern, I admired Brother Feng's directing ability very much, he is fully capable of filming this drama alone, and with Uncle Tianlin supervising it, this drama will definitely break the wireless ratings record!"
Wang Tianlin raised his eyelids, he was very surprised by Wang Zheng's refusal, when Shao Tycoon asked Wang Zheng and Du Qifeng to guide together, he didn't agree, but he was helpless about the tycoon's strong decision, and finally he could only reluctantly agree!
Today's Shao tycoon attaches great importance to Wang Zheng, and he was not annoyed by Wang Zheng's refusal, but asked him: "Then what do you mean?"
"I can't participate in the drama "Shooting the Condor", I also can't learn much, I want to be the executive director of the crew, and take this opportunity to learn more from Uncle Tianlin!" Wang Zheng turned his eyes to Wang Tianlin and said with a smile, Wang Tianlin just nodded lightly in response.
"Since Ah Zheng said so, then do what you want. Shao Tycoon agreed
Seeing that several people had finished discussing, Fang Yihua continued: "There is another "Condor Heroes" filming this year, Andy will play the leading role in the play, Ah Wei, Ah Xing, and Ada can participate in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!"
Zhou Xingchi and the others cast envious glances at Liu Dehao, no wonder he was so indifferent to "Shooting the Condor", it turned out that Meiyu was behind.
Wang Zheng thought about it a little, but still said: "Manager Fang, Ah Xing's acting skills are not mature enough, as for the choice of the protagonist, I think it is still the casting of the entire Shaw Brothers, so as to find the most suitable candidate, and also make the company's artists more motivated, and at the same time drive the enthusiasm of the entire crew." ”
"I support casting!" Wang Tianlin raised his hand in agreement with Wang Zheng's proposal.
Zhou Xingchi, Liang Chaowei, and Wu Mengda looked at Wang Zheng in disbelief, but they didn't expect him to open his mouth to deny him.
