Chapter 021: Meeting Shao Yifu
"Actually, I only came from Bao'an in July this year."
Wow!
As soon as Ye Jingcheng's words came out, everyone immediately gave him the title of a mainland boy, but he did not mean to reject it. In addition to the fact that Ye Jingcheng is the owner of their rice class, it is also because of the delicate relationship between Hong Kong people and mainlanders.
In fact, there are very few local residents on Hong Kong Island who were born and raised in their ancestors. Most of them are old Hong Kong crossers, among which the Teochew people and Hakka people are the most. The people in both places belong to Cantonese, so they do not exclude people from Guangdong.
But for the northerners, you can clearly feel the disgust in their bones. Moreover, most Hong Kong people have a narrow definition of northerners, and in their eyes, as long as the place north of Guangdong belongs to northerners.
The good thing is that they have something to be proud of, and the bad thing is that they feel too good about themselves.
"The first job I got when I came to Hong Kong Island was working as a black worker on a construction site, working 12 hours a day and earning $30 a day."
The more the listener the audience, the more surprised they were at how it sounded like a story. When Ye Jingcheng said that he was engaged in futures trading, he couldn't even hear the sound of chopsticks moving at the dinner table, and everyone's attention was attracted by him.
Is this still personal? From an initial capital of 600 yuan to a daily income of 600 yuan, and then to a daily income of tens of thousands of yuan. In less than three months, the funds have increased by 700 times, where is this person, it is simply a god.
It is not difficult to verify Ye Jingcheng's words, go to the household registration office to check the processing time of his household registration book, if he really came to Hong Kong in July, then the rest of the matter is basically true, unless the money is given up by him to rob his family.
"Brother Ye, you will be my idol from today onwards, if you need manpower, you can just say it." The staff member said on the spot that he would leave Shaw Brothers and join Ye Jingcheng's company.
"Ye Sheng, I will toast you."
In fact, Ye Jingcheng told his experience, not to express how capable he is, but to make some staff who are likely to join the company and hesitate to make up their minds.
Counting the staff that Huang Jing borrowed from Shaw Brothers, sixty percent of them were transferred to Ye Jingcheng's subordinates. is Huang Jing, who is already crying and mourning for embarrassment, he will not be beaten to death by Huang Tianlin when he goes back, but taking off a few layers of skin is the least.
Zhong Chuhong knew that Ye Jingcheng had set up a stall, but he didn't expect such a tortuous experience. A good man who can make money and is considerate, shouldn't she have caught it earlier? Also thinking about it is Zheng Wenya on the side.
At one's leisure.
As soon as Ye Jingcheng came out of the toilet, a figure appeared on the left and right, and said at the same time: "Ah Cheng, I have something to say to you." ”
At first glance, aren't they Zhong Chuhong and Zheng Wenya? Hearing the other party's words with herself, the two women glanced at each other, and for a moment the atmosphere became solemn, like the eve of a storm.
At this time, Huang Jing walked out of the toilet, originally he wanted to talk to Ye Jingcheng about seeing Shao Yifu tomorrow, but when he found that the situation was not good, he hurriedly slipped away from the side, and said gloating before leaving: "Ah Cheng, if you have something to talk about, I won't bother." ”
"You speak first."
The two women spoke in unison again, they both wanted to know what the other party and Ye Jingcheng said, and they didn't want the other party to know what they said to Ye Jingcheng.
Seeing that the two of them were on the same page, Ye Jingcheng had no choice but to open his voice and say, "Aya, why don't you say it first?" ”
Zheng Wenya was obviously unconvinced, but Ye Jingcheng kept glancing at her, and she didn't want to embarrass Ye Jingcheng. So he said: "It's nothing, it's just that my mother treated you like that last time, and I never had a chance to apologize to you." ”
After speaking, Zheng Wenya bowed down to apologize to Ye Jingcheng, Ye Jingcheng secretly said why this woman is so brainless, he has expressed his mind several times, and looked at the other party as if he still had something to say.
"Aya, I'll talk about it later." Ye Jingcheng quickly cut through the mess, hurriedly comforted the other party with a few words, and sent her to a taxi parked on the side of the road.
Just wiped a handful of cold sweat, Zhong Chuhong, who was following the two of them, rushed out from the side, and asked in a very bad tone: "You have gone to someone else's house, are you very familiar with her mother?" ”
"You think too much, the truth is that Aya's family doesn't like her filming, so when I went to ask her to sign a contract, her mother drove me out with a broom." Ye Jingcheng turned his face sideways, trying to avoid Zhong Chuhong's cannibalistic eyes.
"It's as simple as that?" Zhong Chuhong was suspicious.
Ye Jingcheng pretended to be strong and asked, "Otherwise, what else?" ”
"Okay, you've passed it." Zhong Chuhong was like a wife interrogating her husband if he had stolen food at the moment, and then threw a difficult question to Ye Jingcheng, pestering: "Then why did you call her Wenya a few days ago, and you changed your name to Aya these days?" ”
"Is this kind of trivial problem so careful?" Ye Jingcheng stopped a taxi again, intending to solve the problem in the same way. Zhong Chuhong was not as good-tempered as Zheng Wenya, so he stopped him directly, and said in a loud voice: "It's a small problem for you, but it's a big problem for me." ”
"I really don't have anything to do with her, can you trust me?" Ye Jingcheng spread his hands helplessly.
Zhong Chuhong showed the girlish spirit and said, "Then you explain." ”
"Okay, good, but you see how embarrassing it is in the streets, why don't you go back to my house and sit down and explain to you slowly?"
It was a good thing to say that she tricked Zhong Meiren home, but she kept asking Zheng Wenya about it. After Zhong Chuhong left, Ye Jingcheng found that he hadn't even touched the other party's little hand.
To say that the only gain is that his relationship with Zhong Chuhong is no longer chasing after being chased, but upgraded to a real boyfriend and girlfriend.
Alas, anyway, I have been a monk for so long, and I am not in a hurry to return to the vulgar in the next day or two.
……
Vertical Day, The Peninsula Hotel.
The Peninsula Hotel is worthy of being the oldest hotel on Hong Kong Island, with luxurious decoration and advanced equipment, which make Ye Jingcheng refreshed, and the cheesy point is that the toilets are hundreds of times better than the apartment he lives in now.
As for why he's here, does it need to be said? If his movie wants to be released at Shaw Brothers, he must at least meet the big boss behind the scenes, and this big boss behind the scenes, Shao Yifu, likes to drink afternoon tea here on weekdays.
It is correct that rich people want to come here for afternoon tea, and the service of the hotel is one thing, and more importantly, this kind of place is a symbol of one's status.
Accompanied by Ye Jingcheng, Huang Jing also arrived, and the two found a more conspicuous position to sit down. Before Shao Yifu, the main owner, arrived, Huang Jing just used the time to tell him about the movies that were released recently.
Don't say you don't know, but be shocked when you say it.
Ye Jingcheng thought that there would be two or three films released at most a month, but he would have thought that just from Huang Jing's mouth, "Kicking the Hall", "Crazy Robbery", "Golden Arm Boy", "Eighty Thousand Intoxicating People", "Pointing Soldiers" and so on, there are nine movies to be released this month.
Except for "Pointing Soldiers" and "Crazy Robbery", Ye Jingcheng's other works can be said to have never heard of them. Ye Jingcheng remembered that it seemed to rank sixth at the annual box office in 1979 with a box office of more than 3 million.
As for "Crazy Robbery", Ye Jingcheng only knows the title of the film, as well as the starring Zhao Yuzhi and Zhang Yijia, it seems that he has won a Golden Horse Award later? It's just that I didn't expect "Human Flesh Roast Shop" to play against "Crazy Robbery".
The most unexpected thing is that both films are classified as thrillers, and they both rely on the plot as the main line. This is clearly to make it clear that the two of them will have a clear fight, and the losing side will not be as simple as a box office failure, and the other will definitely steal most of the customers.
Although Ye Jingcheng is very optimistic about his work, his intuition tells him that he can't take any opponent lightly. In addition, the film "Human Meat Char Siu Bao 2" was produced 20 years later, Ye Jingcheng's vision may not be recognized by the current consumer masses.
According to the filming techniques of the film, the literary and artistic techniques used in "Crazy Robbery" interpret the high-end atmosphere and high-grade, and "Human Flesh Roast Shop" pays attention to the bloody interpretation of low-key luxury and connotation, but I didn't expect the first movie to encounter a big crisis.
At this time, Huang Jing suddenly got up and kicked Ye Jingcheng with his foot, and said, "Ah Cheng, the sixth uncle is here." ”
Shao Yifu was smiling and looked very approachable. However, the female companion next to him had a stinky face, thinking that it was Shao Yifu's concubine Fang Yihua.
"Sixth Uncle." shook hands with Shao Yifu, and turned to greet the woman beside him: "This must be Aunt Six, hello." ”
How do you know that Fang Yihua completely ignored Ye Jingcheng, and turned to Shao Yifu beside him and said, "Sixth brother, I'll help you." ”
Ye Jingcheng took his hand back, and couldn't help but think of the sentence of later generations: "Today you ignore my love, tomorrow I want you to climb high." ”
"Jingzai, your old bean finally hopes to be a Jackie Chan, it seems that it won't be long before you young people are in the world." Shao Yifu said.
"Sixth uncle, don't be joking, Ah Cheng and I are just a little fight." Huang Jing smiled bitterly.
"A little fight? I don't think so. Shao Yifu looked at Ye Jingcheng and continued: "I heard that you even bought a whole set of photographic equipment for filming, aren't you afraid of hundreds of thousands of wastes?" ”
Ye Jingcheng was calm, and said with a smile: "It's a big deal to struggle for another three months." ”
"Three months?"
Shao Yifu's question was immediately answered by Huang Jing, and the dead fat boy deserved to be a good screenwriter, and he simply turned Ye Jingcheng from nothing to more than 400,000 yuan, which was unmatched by no one in the first five hundred years and five hundred years after that.
Shao Yifu took a sip of tea, Ye Jingcheng showed this ability to let him see his shadow back then, it was he who brought the audience into the sound era, can this young man still bring the film industry to a new level? He said slowly: "Cheng Zai, you are more suitable to gain a foothold in the financial world. ”
Ye Jingcheng smiled perfunctorily, he knew how much he was capable of.
Not to mention gaining a foothold in the financial world, relying on his own ability alone, I am afraid that he will have to die without a place to bury after taking a few steps. Then he said: "Sixth uncle, this time I asked Ah Jing to ask you out, in fact, I wanted to discuss the issue of box office sharing with you. ”
