The grand plan of the international architectural exhibition, the ten-mile ocean field is embedded in the history book. The tide of the Huangpu River covers the old site, and the Lujiazui bank opens up a new road.

Leaving only one year, the Huangpu River has been replaced by another scene, the Oriental Pearl Signal Tower is not only included in the construction plan, the opposite Bund river bank is also under construction, although the high tide river water appears to burst the embankment and spread, but can not cover the magnificent scenery of the Huangpu River, not far away a cross-river bridge is also under construction, all the scenes are in the construction of reform and opening up.

"Tower Bridge towers over the Tay River, and the waterfowl shake Big Ben. Huangpu cable-stayed string music, cruise ship Guangxia West Langhong. Mr. Smith, how does the Huangpu River in China compare to the Thames in your country?"

On the edge of the Bund on the banks of the Huangpu River, Wang Zheng asked Smith, a British engineer beside him, in Cantonese.

Smith is a construction engineer who has lived in Xiangjiang for a long time, not only can speak fluent Cantonese, but is also very familiar with Chinese culture, in the face of Wang Zheng's inquiry, he looked at the river water that was slightly turbid due to the high tide, and said with a slight smile: "Mr. Wang, with all due respect, compared with the clear Thames River in Britain, although the Huangpu River is vast, it has no environmental protection, and the beauty of the two cannot be compared." ”

Wang Zheng nodded lightly and did not refute, compared with the proud British, the Chinese people did lack environmental awareness, and by the mid-90s, a large amount of factory sewage was discharged into the Yangtze River, and the river water was even more polluted at that time.

No longer talking about the Huangpu River, Wang Zheng turned his gaze to No. 18 Bund in front of him, and said: "Mr. Smith, what do you think of the building in front of you, speaking of which, this building is still the hand of your architect, and it used to be the headquarters of your Standard Chartered Bank in China, and the four stone pillars you see are said to have been dismantled from an abandoned church in Italy and have a history of 400 years. ”

Seeing No. 18 on the Bund, Smith immediately became obsessed, caressed the marble pillars with both hands, and said: "I have heard of this building for a long time, but I didn't expect that Mr. Wang asked me to repair this building, and now I don't know what this building is for?"

Wang Zheng explained: "I bought the ownership of this building last year, and now it is the office space of a steamship company, and I will take back this building this time, and the restoration work will have to worry Mr. Smith!"

Smith nodded, bypassed the marble column, pushed open the carved bronze door, came to the hall on the first floor of No. 18, looked at the two red glass chandeliers above the hall, and said: "This building carries too many historical traces, we will be careful and patient in the restoration work, Mr. Wang don't worry, before the restoration, I want to know what Mr. Wang will use this building for?"

What to do Wang Zheng had a plan, and he did not hide it at the moment, explaining: "Mr. Smith knows that I am a director, and I will convert the highest two floors of this building into an exhibition hall, and place all my works in his place through the method of restoring the scene, and all film lovers will visit it, and the remaining four floors will be transformed into top luxury stores or top restaurants." ”

Smith nodded and said, "The idea of the exhibition hall is very good, but I don't know if those top luxury brands are willing to open branches in China." ”

Wang Zheng smiled faintly and said: "Don't worry about this Mr. Smith, although China is still in the stage of poverty and backwardness, it will not take a few years for China's economic leap to surprise the world." ”

Smith shrugged, obviously not believing Wang Zheng's confident words, and changed the subject: "The restoration of this building is huge, I need to go back to Britain to gather a team of 20 people, and the restoration project is expected to take about three months." ”

Wang Zheng didn't care whether the arrogant Briton believed it or not, nodded and said, "No problem, when I return to Britain, I will ask Mr. Smith to help me go to France!"

"France?" Smith was stunned and said, "Mr. Wang is not polite, if you need my service, just ask." ”

Wang Zheng said: "The construction of the exhibition hall needs to use wax figures, and Madame Tussauds's wax figure technology is world-renowned, I hope that Mr. Smith will make a trip to France for me, so that Madame Tussauds's wax figure team can come to Shanghai, and the cost of wax figures is not a problem." ”

"It's just a gesture and I'm willing to serve!"

Smith readily agreed, and then inspected the interior of No. 18 with Wang Zheng, and couldn't help but sigh with pity when he saw the mottled walls. Several companies were changed around the 18th, and it was inevitable that the wall would be damaged, but fortunately, there was no damage to the foundation of the entire building.

No. 18 has a construction area of more than 10,000 square meters, reinforced concrete structure, and the appearance is in the Renaissance architectural style. The exterior wall is a three-section façade, the ground floor is clad in neat granite, and the center is a large carved bronze door with two doors. The middle section of the 2-4 storey façade is relatively simple, and the middle is supported and decorated with 2 huge Ionic columns. The third section is formed above the 5th floor, and the middle part is decorated with 2 small stone pillars in front of each window, echoing the 2 large pillars below, and there is a large terrace on the roof. The overall structure is atmospheric and firm, which is why it has been standing on the Bund for 62 years without damage, and the restoration project is only to scrub the surface wall and clean out the original color, which will not hurt the roots.

After inspecting the overall structure of No. 18, Smith flew back to Britain on the same day, and will return after collecting the team, while Wang Zheng also left Shanghai after completing the handover procedures at the Huangpu Housing Management Bureau, and the restoration project was handed over to the Housing Authority.

"Zheng, can the exhibition hall really restore my role in the movie with wax figures?"

On the plane to Yanjing, Guan Zhilin heard that Wang Zheng was going to build a film exhibition hall, so he kept pulling him to ask.

Wang Zheng said with a smile: "Of course, wax technology can not only restore your role in the movie, but also copy all the expressions of your clothes at that time." ”

The idea of building a film exhibition hall was born when Wang Zheng bought No. 18, and unlike Madame Tussauds, what he wanted to build was to restore the most classic scene in the movie, which can not only achieve the effect of the wax museum, but also allow movie lovers to feel the scene in the movie, which can be said to be much more advanced than the cold wax figure.

Wang Zheng is preparing to apply for a patent for the idea of a wax exhibition hall for films, which will become an exclusive wax museum for Wang Zheng's films, which will be opened in all corners of the world, which can not only promote Chinese films, but also leave eternal moments for the film.

Hearing Wang Zheng's affirmative reply, Guan Zhilin looked very yearning, and hurriedly asked: "Is the wax figure made similar to me?" Don't make people ugly!"

Wang Zheng didn't know what the current wax figure technology was, and said with a smile: "It will definitely be a little different from me, but the difference will not be much, and when the restoration work is completed on the 18th, the first exhibition hall will place the movie wax figure of "Exquisite Ancient City", and you will know when you see the effect!"

"Well, it's a bit of a pity that this movie wax museum is in Shanghai, and when you come back to see yourself, you have to change planes a few times. ”

Wang Zheng smiled and said: "Don't be a pity, if the effect of the wax figures here in Shanghai can achieve the expectations, the Xiangjiang Movie Wax Museum will start construction immediately!"

Guan Zhilin was overjoyed after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Hehe, if that's the case, I don't know how many actors want to rush to participate in your director Wang Da's play, not only can he win awards at the box office, but now he has one more benefit of a permanent wax figure, and if the wax figure comes out, if it is as beautiful as others, then I will participate in your future movies!"

Wang Zheng was stunned, he didn't expect what she said, and rolled his eyes at her last unreasonable request.

After a three-hour flight, the plane landed safely at Yenching International Airport.

Wang Zheng came to Yanjing for three purposes, one is to hand in the script for co-production with China Film Co-production Company, after more than half a year of creation, the script of "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" has been completed, and it will be submitted to Radio and Television for review as soon as possible, and it will be able to start shooting as soon as possible.

The second is to come to Yanjing Film Factory to recruit actors, in addition to Liang Chaowei, Wang Guxian and other leading actors, the supporting roles are only Xie Xian, Tang Zhenye, Huang Yifei, and other roles, Wang Zheng is ready to use mainland actors.

Finally, and most importantly, the reason why Gu Jiahui can become the chief soundtrack master of Shaw Brothers, and even the chief master of the entire Xiangjiang movie, is because the character who is better than him has not immigrated to Xiangjiang. When this bull arrives in Xiangjiang, although Gu Jiahui will not lose his position, he will never be judged by the chief again.

Wang Zheng's trip is for this master-level soundtrack, if "The Sword of the Third Young Master" doesn't want to serve the street, it really can't be done without this master to join, this master is Hu Weili, who plays the elements of Chinese-style music to the point of being superb.
