Chapter 29: The Taj Lin Family
At eight o'clock on Monday morning, Lin Weixian, the film manager of Taj Cinemas, walked into his office on time.
Lin Weixian looks dignified, about 40 years old, and he is in the prime of life.
And Lin Zengtai has passed the sixtieth birthday, close to the ancient, and looks a little old.
Sitting behind the large mahogany desk, the old man was concentrating on reading the company's reports, when he heard a knock on the door, asked Lin Weixian to come in, pointed to the chair in front of him, lifted his reading glasses, and said indifferently: "Weixian is here!" Have a seat! How's it going? β
"Uncle, I've done it all, please rest assured." Lin Weixian saluted and sat down politely.
"You kid has always had a vision, this time you are so optimistic about Zhengdong, a second-tier production company?"
"Yes, uncle. First of all, their film is really well made, and it is worth it powerfully. Looking at the leopard, we can see that they at least have a very capable team, directors, screenwriters, directors, artists, special effects, makeup, props, music, etc., are all very good, especially they have a group of outstanding actors, although they are not popular for the time being, but there is hope of becoming popular. β
"Looks like you've investigated it clearly!"
"They are indeed a very effective team, especially their new boss, who is very skilled and is a top superstar seedling of the future."
"In this case, we can cooperate normally, is it worth our strong recommendation to support them? There are a lot of such production companies in the industry! β
Lin Zengtai is well-informed and calculating, and he is not moved by these clichΓ©s at all.
"Uncle is really wise, and he is very right." Lin Weixian nodded.
"What else? Let's talk about it! β
"This company has just been acquired, and the new owner is very young and is said to have a military background."
"What?" Lin Zengtai looked up suddenly.
Even this old Mr. Lin, who had experienced strong winds and waves, was inevitably a little surprised.
Some cloudy eyes seemed to suddenly flash a flash of cold lightning.
The lion is old, but still a lion!
The ambition is still there!
"Uncle, this is true. During the negotiations yesterday, the top management of their company hinted to me. They themselves are very capable, and with the support of the military commanders, they naturally have a very promising future and are very worthy of our wooing. β
"Oh? Have you confirmed this? There are a lot of liars in the circle! "Lin Zengtai is old and fine. Very cautious.
"Uncle, I'm not young, is it so easy to be deceived? I called back last night and inquired with the senior officials and secretaries of the Huaxia Military Command in our office in Thailand. I know that secretary Qian very well. We used to play golf together and watch Muay Thai matches. Secretary Qian has a deep background in China, and working abroad is only gilded, and he knows their internal affairs very well. β
"What did he say?"
According to him, the young boss Zhou Yi. It was personally brought out by Jiang Juzuo, the second commander of the military command, and he is considered the godson of the second, but he has no name. In particular, it should be noted that the second commander of the military has never had an heir, and it is estimated that he is regarded as his own son. β
"Oh? It's true? β
"They all say this internally, it's not a secret, it's just that the outside world doesn't know. If we didn't have the background of relatives of the Thai royal family, if it weren't for the fact that we usually have a very strong relationship, he wouldn't have told me these inside stories at all. Lin Weixian explained.
"Young people have such a hard background? It seems that we have stumbled into the right place. β
"According to Secretary Qian, the second military commander is too busy with work in peacetime. There is no way to take care of the child, and it is necessary to pay attention to the impact, so the child is handed over to the martyr's family to raise on his behalf, but he usually takes care of it secretly. β
"Oh!"
"It is said that the second military commander is very promising to straighten up, and in the future, Boss Zhou will be the status of the prince of the military commander, and he is considered a top ****** in the circle. His Zhengdong Film Company still has shares in the military commander, of course, those shares are not on the surface, they are held by several top families with good relations, such as the Jiang family of the second military commander, and the Zhuo family of the founding father. The Miss Zhuo from their company. Isn't she the princess of the Zhuo family? It's inconspicuous on the surface, but it has deep roots! Say it, it can scare you. β
"The Chinese folk hidden dragon and crouching tiger! I really didn't expect it! Lin Zengtai sighed.
"I kept an eye on him yesterday, but he was very low-key. He is not very involved in the activities of the company's top management, and currently only works as an actor and screenwriter. β
"It's normal. Young people should keep a low profile. Alas! If Wen Ji's son is still here, it is estimated that it will be so big! β
"Sister Huiyin...... Alas! The matter of that year involved the queen, we can't help it, so let's not mention it. It's all to blame on the whim of Wang Shang back then, what to give King Wen of Zhou for his birthday. Xia Shang Zhou! Send Wen Wang Pei. Do you want to play Zhou Dai Shang? What does the queen think? β
"Actually, Wang Shang didn't mean that at all, Shang was a family name, just a coincidence. This is just the future title of King Taiwen promised the child by the king, and it is not King Zhou Wen. The old gentleman snorted coldly.
"Your Sister Huiyin is still Tai Wenji!"
"The titles are all passed down in the same vein, which is normal."
"It is the tradition of our Chinese to love our young sons, but it is also the tradition of our Chinese to grow up and not to stand young, I really don't understand why the crazy woman's reaction is so big? It's crazy! The prince is older, and he is not the king of Shang, so he can't understand what she is afraid of? β
Mr. Lin's eyes flickered coldly, and he seemed to be more and more angry the more he spoke.
Although he looks old, the old gentleman has the strong demeanor of King Lionheart, and he must be a generation of handsome when he is young.
"But the queen doesn't see it that way! Maybe it's been seduced by some monks or villains! Lin Weixian could only smile bitterly, "But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very good, he has been painstakingly searching for many years, and he has visited China several times on behalf of his father, and he has done his best, and he has taken care of our Lin family a lot over the years." The queen has been a monk all these years, confessing her sins in the temple, and she also regrets what happened back then, but it is irreparable. β
"If it weren't for that, how could I bear it? In fact, she is just fake compassion! It was as if someone was going to grab her place. If it weren't for being in the Lin family, I would have had a lot of scruples, I really wanted to do it back then, and I would not stop ......"
"My uncle was right back then, and the family inheritance is the most important. Sister Huiyin didn't want her uncle to die. We must be more careful of what the king thinks. Now it's all in the past. The man died unexpectedly back then, and all the clues were broken! Their entire family was executed by Ling Chi. β
"Humph! And it's not the mastermind, what's the use? Kill a few dogs, and for whom? The old gentleman was still not angry.
"Weixian, do you remember the palace dog murder case back then?" Lin Zengtai asked with a gloomy expression.
"Of course I do. That man is also innocent! In order to relieve the queen's heart disease, he dared to slander the queen, wanting to emulate King Wen's old story. Of course. The child is still young, and it is impossible to repeat King Wen's eating son, there is no son to kill, but they want to kill the future King Taiwen's most beloved pet dog. Chop into meat sauce, make steamed buns, and give dog meat buns to children. Lin Weixian smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"That crazy woman really thinks of herself as Su Daji!" The old gentleman snorted angrily.
"If that kid really ate dog meat buns, it means that he is the same as King Wen of Zhou back then, and he has a forbearant temperament. There is the appearance of a bright monarch, and it must not be kept. If he does not eat, and is angry with joy, and has no city in his heart, then there is nothing to be afraid of. β
"It's all excuses!" Lin Zengtai said angrily, "Even if you don't eat it, that person has something to say." In ancient times, Daji killed Bo Yi Kao and gave King Wen of Zhou the eldest son's human meat barbecued pork buns, what did he say at that time? If Ji Chang eats it, it means that he is a mediocre person. No worries. If Ji Chang doesn't eat it, it means that he is a capable person who is proficient in divination and hexagrams, and he will definitely be killed to prevent future troubles. How to say, not by them? β
"Humph! The result is the same left and right! It's more than innocent! β
"Alas! Uncle, this kind of thing is really resentful! What could a child understand back then? Some eat, and he really eats. β
"If that kid hadn't died by luck back then, I really hope he can completely forget these things, otherwise I'm afraid I will be uncomfortable for the rest of my life! Think about these things, if you don't forget them. How does it feel in your heart? After eating my own dog that accompanied me in the past, I am afraid that I will have nausea and vomiting for the rest of my life! β
Mr. Lin sighed and leaned lazily on the back of his chair, as if he was recalling something. The sentiment is a little melancholy.
When people are old, they like to think about the past.
"Alas! No way! Uncle, Jiren has his own natural appearance. Didn't you personally visit our Thai monk Luang Po Bixuan? I heard that the monk lived to be more than 500 years old! What he said must have worked. Lin Weixian whispered comfortingly.
"But that holy monk has always been a god, and it is difficult for me to understand what he says." Lin Zengtai was helpless.
"Didn't he say the child was still alive?"
"Who knows what he means by saying that he is still alive and dead, and what is the awakening of destiny? Probably not dead! He always talked to me about destiny. Talking about numerology, talking about mysteries, I don't understand what he means at all. He didn't give me a word of truth, and I always gave so many offerings in vain. β
"That kind of thing is inherently mysterious and indescribable, how can you explain it clearly?" Lin Weixian smiled helplessly.
"However, a female disciple adopted by this high monk since he was a child is indeed very effective, and her speech is not so mysterious, but the fee is extremely high." Lin Zengtai said again.
"Uncle, did you say that the adopted daughter of the dragon woman Bixuan monk, the goddess Bixiuxin? She's said to be effective, but who knows? Some people rumored that her head-lowering technique is very evil and extremely talented, and no one in Thailand or even Southeast Asia dares to offend her, but outsiders don't understand the mystery. Especially since she has the support of her adoptive father, the monk Longpo Bixuan, who has lived for more than 500 years, no one dares to mess with her. β
"I heard that among the elders in China, there are still people who hear her preaching Zen!" Lin Weixian said a word of grapevine.
"These are all rumors, how can you be gullible? Besides, even if it's true, it's normal! Lin Zengtai said dissatisfied.
"Pity the front seat in the middle of the night, don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods!" Lin Weixian sighed.
"Weixian, what are you talking about? People are very effective. Lin Zengtai didn't want to listen to it, the old man believed it very much.
"Uncle, I know, she is a Thai goddess! Who can afford to serve God? β
"You!" Lin Zengtai was speechless.
"But let's talk about it privately, uncle, although that woman is very beautiful, she is very vulgar in her heart, she is too greedy for money, and she always says that the secret of heaven should not be leaked, and she must give money for leaking the secret of heaven. It's so cheap! β
"Weixian!" The old man shook his head repeatedly, but did not speak to refute it.
How can this kind of thing be refuted? There is no reason to talk about it. To believe is to believe, and not to believe is to not believe!
"It's easy for her to make money like this, and as soon as her upper lip touches her lower lip, she can make a lot of money. Is there an easier way to make a lot of money in this world? Everyone else is working hard to make money and support their families! How much did my uncle spend? Don't give up hope. β
Lin Weixian is obviously very uninterested in the goddess, and he doesn't believe in it at all.
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, you can't give up!" Lin Zengtai shook his head and smiled bitterly, and finally sighed.
"Besides, the goddess is psychic, Weixian, you can't talk nonsense." The old gentleman warned his nephew very strictly.
"Uncle. I know! I'm not young, how dare I say these words? It's all privately said to the uncle. Hey! The goddess Miss Bi didn't speak mysteriously, and pointed directly at Huaxia and asked her uncle to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors. Come back and open a movie theater. The uncle immediately rushed back to invest and set up the Taj Cinemas. What do I think about this matter, how outrageous! Isn't it enough to engage in real estate in Thailand? I have to go back to Huaxia to build a building. Lin Weixian couldn't cry or laugh.
"I know there's always been a lot of criticism in the family." The old gentleman is not unreasonable.
"What's the whisper? That's not going to be. Uncle, don't think about it, everyone understands it very well. Sister Huiyin has been a monk and worships the Buddha, asking God to bless her. Maybe it really works! I don't think there's much hope though. But as a father, my uncle always did his best and his father's responsibilities. Isn't it all like this when we do our best and obey the destiny of God? Lin Weixian persuaded.
"Weixian, it's good that you can think so." The old gentleman was very pleased.
"Besides, Miss Bi, the goddess of the family, is not the spokesperson of the Chinese real estate developer, how can she fool me casually?" The old gentleman didn't believe it, "Huaxia doesn't lack my money." Let's enter this big market to make money! β
"Yes! Be! Uncle, you have a point! "What else can Lin Weixian say? Is it bad to run a rubber industrial park in Thailand?
Returning to Huaxia to make money is obviously secondary. Just don't lose money, anyway, the purpose of the old man is definitely not to make money.
It's really hard to stay at home!
"Uncle, let's not talk about that. Do you have any comments on the screening schedule for this film? β
"Just do as you say! It's up to you to take care of these things. β
Mr. Lin pointed to the report on the table again and said, "I have read all the statistical results you sent. There are 276 fans who participated in the test screening, and all of them gave ratings, with an average score of 9.3, and the curve is steep and soaring, which is indeed a good test screening result. Our company has always relied on numbers. The number jΓΉ will not be faked. The audience reputation of this test screening is indeed super high, no wonder you are so confident. β
"Uncle is satisfied." Lin Weixian said with a smile.
"There is also this newly released film review of Tomato Network, which is very interesting: although the five poisons are poisonous, they are not poisonous to the enemy's heart. Put aside the dazzling masculine fight scenes in the film. All that remains is a thick darkness and a deep depression, even so oppressive that it is breathless. The whole film explains to the audience from various angles what it means to be 'non-toxic and not husband'. β
"The boss is vicious, the second is vicious, the third is vicious, and the county is greedy. The viciousness of catching fast is all vividly displayed. Even the tortures in the film, such as 10,000 needle clothes, red back stalks, throat hooks, brain stabbing needles, and thousand-layer wet paper smothering methods, are just frightening and terrifying, but they can't compare to the poison of people's hearts, which makes people shudder and chill their hearts. β
"Uncle, it's true. The film does give people this kind of heart-warming feeling. β
"It's hard to imagine how that young man made up such a cult script? Haven't you experienced anything before? Lin Zengtai was very emotional, but he just said it casually, sighed in his heart, and didn't think deeply.
"This can probably only be regarded as a genius!" Lin Weixian smiled, and also didn't think much about it.
"And this film review, which is equally representative: I'm not interested in the dark elements that pervade the whole film, because that's not my thing. I'm not a fan of cult films, and I'm not interested in the grotesque plots, but the fight scenes in the film are so exciting that I can't stop it, the action design is very creative, and the gut fights highlight the ultimate in violent aesthetics. β
"Especially the ten-minute peak fight scene at the end of the Armageddon, it was simply wild and suffocating, from head to toe, completely inextricable. Compared with the wonderful fighting scenes of this film, several action movies and martial arts films released earlier this year can be scrapped. At the time, I thought it was good, but now I can't bear to see it. They should be glad they were released early. β
"This movie review is really good. The fight scenes in this film are indeed so wonderful that people are speechless. β
For this one, Lin Weixian also praised again and again.
Next, the uncle and nephew had a brief discussion.
After the deliberations were over, Lin Weixian asked his uncle to recuperate, not to be busy with work, too tired, and then leave to deal with his own work, after all, the screening of Zhengdong Pictures' film still needs to be arranged by him personally, and he cannot be negligent. (To be continued.) )
