Chapter 188 Charity Auction
After negotiating with Liao Mingzhi about the co-production of "Journey to the West" and "Dream of Red Mansions", Gu Weiqi handed over the follow-up details to Yang Yipan to deal with the other party, and she will also be responsible for the follow-up of these two TV series in the future.
Speaking of which, this is also Gu Weiqi's aim to train her to be able to take on great responsibilities in the future, after all, Gu Weiqi's eyes are on the whole world, and it is impossible to just stare at a place as big as Xiangjiang, so someone needs to share a huge workload for him. This arrangement can be regarded as well-intentioned.
In fact, in his heart, he has already set up a chessboard, with the gully in his chest as the chessboard, the entertainment empire as the main general, and commerce, finance and mercenaries as the carts and horses, and the next game of chess that lives up to his life.
After arranging these, Gu Weiqi found Shao Tycoon with the script of "Eight Star Annunciation" non-stop, after all, the two sides had to continue to cooperate. It's been delayed for so long, and now it's time to take the time to talk to Shao Tycoon about co-producing a new film. In fact, the tycoon has been waiting for a long time.
In fact, if you really want to talk about it, the "Oriental Charm International Film Company" newly invested by Shao tycoon is said to be a shell company. But at this time, the Shao family and wireless under his name are still full of talents, and the screenwriters are even more talented. But no one dares to guarantee that the script will be a big hit.
Now seeing the script that Gu Weiqi brought, Shao Daheng immediately realized that this was a good film after roughly browsing it. In fact, this film is produced by Xin Yicheng in 1988 and directed by Du Qifeng, starring Zhou Yanfa, Zhang Xueyou, Huang Baiming, Zhong Chuhong, Feng Baobao, Yuan Jieying and other big-name stars, and it got a box office of 37 million Hong Kong dollars as soon as it was released, which was the highest-grossing film of the year.
The style of the film is a typical comedy of three brothers pickling girls. Among them, the sissy love prodigal son played by Zhou Yunfa is the most commercial gimmick, and it can also arouse the audience's emotional reaction the most. Director Du Qifeng's task is to smoothly advance the plot, and the funny task is mainly completed by Zhou Runfa, who uses a slightly exaggerated whimsy to interpret the great love saint who must be chased by every woman.
The film is also a typical Chinese New Year comedy, and Huang Baiming has been remade many times since then, and basically achieved a relatively good box office.
After reading the script, the two discussed a series of issues such as the specific investment budget amount, director, and actors.
The amount of investment Gu Weiqi's company's accounting department has already been made, and the budget of 8 million is nothing to say. As for the actors, Gu Weiqi proposed to use Zhou Yanfa, Zhong Chuhong, Liang Weihui, Guan Zhilin, Wang Mingquan, Zheng Shaohao, Chen Xiuzhu and Lu Yanwei. The first four are now all artists of China Entertainment International Superstar Entertainment Agency, and the last four are wireless artists. It can be said that both sides have been taken care of.
There is no opinion on the first four Shao tycoons proposed by Gu Weiqi, but Lu Liwei of wireless was replaced by Ren Dahua by him. As for the director's words, Shao Tycoon sent Wei Jiahui of Wireless, and Donglai Company asked Zhong Zhiwen, the executive director of several films, to go up. However, this time, the tycoon insisted on taking the lead.
Gu Weiqi also readily agreed, anyway, as long as he makes a blockbuster film, it doesn't hurt to hand over the leadership to the other party.
On May 22, the "Eight-Star Annunciation", which had been prepared for a week, was officially launched.
But just a week after the start of filming, on May 29, the Xiangjiang River fell heavily and there was a serious aftermath, second only to the June 15 rain disaster in 1959, causing 29 deaths and 50 injuries, and more than 3,000 people were left homeless. In the face of this natural disaster, the crew of "Eight Star Annunciation" had to suspend filming.
In fact, not to mention the crew of the "Eight Star Annunciation", even many students and workers have stopped working after class, after all, the rain disaster is too big. Gu Weiqi, who has always liked to keep a low profile, took the lead in speaking on Phoenix TV this time, calling on all those who have the ability and caring people from all walks of life in Hong Kong to donate money and materials to help the homeless victims.
At the same time, Shao Daheng, who is an artist in his own company but is extremely enthusiastic about charity, also stood up and spoke on television at the same time, and in addition to calling on the general public to lend a helping hand and donate money and materials to help those affected by the disaster, he also organized a grand charity auction.
On the evening of May 29, the auction was held at the large-scale flagship store of "Jade Shan Fang International Restaurant" in Mong Kok, where celebrities from the political and business circles of Hong Kong, celebrities and celebrities from the cultural and entertainment circles braved the wind and rain to compete with each other.
But to put it bluntly, charity auctions have always been well-known Vanity Fair, you are in the limelight, he pulls sponsorship, comparable to generous, competing for fame, and it is a gathering of wind and clouds, and the tycoons from all over the world show their powers. Outside the hotel, there is a long queue of luxury cars, and if it weren't for the torrential rain, it would be like holding a famous car exhibition.
When Gu Weiqi walked into the auction hall that had already been arranged, holding hands and holding hands with Chen Yulian and Zhao Yuzhi, it was already full of people. The men were all dressed in suits and leather shoes, and all of them behaved like gentlemen; The women were dressed up in fancy clothes, some wore expensive cheongsams, some wore expensive evening dresses, in short, the warblers and swallows were as if they were holding a beauty pageant.
However, when Zhao Yuzhi and Chen Yulian appeared in the hall together, they immediately overshadowed many women, and of course, it also attracted the peeping eyes of countless men.
Zhao Yuzhi is wearing a black suit tonight, tightly wrapping her delicate and convex body, with undulating mountains and beautiful lines. The hair is full of green silk and a bun, neat and dignified, looking noble and elegant, full of mature and intellectual taste. In particular, the skin is as white as snow, the plump spirit is like jade, the eyebrows are picturesque, and the round lips are a little red, which looks beautiful and incomprehensible, just like a fairy dripping into the world.
As for Chen Yulian, she is not bad, she is wearing a white dress tonight and a pair of black high heels on her feet. A light red belt is tightly wrapped around the waist, giving people the feeling of being held in a good hand. A layer of light makeup is put on the delicate and delicate face, and combined with the innate cold temperament, it constitutes an elegant and dusty beauty. People can only look up, and they can't afford to have a trace of blasphemy.
These two beauties, ordinary people have to come to the world once, but Gu Weiqi actually got the favor of the two at the same time. It immediately made many men envious and jealous, but looking at Gu Weiqi's sculptural and well-defined facial features and heroic temperament, standing with the two peerless beauties is like a golden boy and a girl, which makes people feel a little ashamed of themselves while being jealous.
Tonight's hall was set up in the form of a buffet, with long tables filled with delicacies and fruits. Tuxedo-clad waiters weave their way through the crowd with trays of fine wine and juice on top. People were drinking drinks and talking about tonight's auction.
At this moment, Shao Tycoon walked slowly to Gu Weiqi's side and said, "Come Boss Gu, come on, I'll introduce you to a few old friends." ”
As soon as Gu Weiqi heard this, he became interested, and the people who could be called old friends by Shao Tycoon were definitely big people with a lot of energy, so he took Chen Yulian and Zhao Yuzhi by the hand with great interest and followed Shao Tycoon over. However, after taking two steps, Zhao Yuzhi let go of his hand and said, Shao Tycoon is introducing you to an old friend, so Sister Lian and I don't want to go over.
Gu Weiqi nodded and said, "It's okay, then you can just drink something first, and I'll come over later." With that, he followed Shao Tycoon to the three of them.
Gu Weiqi couldn't help but be slightly taken aback when he saw these three people, these three were Li Jiacheng, who was known as the "superman", Bao Yugang, nicknamed the "World Ship King", and Huo Yingdong, the "red capitalist", all of whom were well-known tycoons.
Before Gu Weiqi was reborn, it could be said that they were all big names who could only look up. And the most legendary of the three has to be said to be Li Superman.
As far as he knows, Li Chaoren first worked in a factory for others, and later saved some money by making plastics from scratch. In 1958, he purchased the first piece of land in North Point and built a 12-storey building, thus officially stepping into the real estate industry. Later, under its unique vision and shrewd development strategy, "Changjiang Group" soon became a major real estate development and investment company in Xiangjiang. In the end, he became the richest man in China.
Before being reborn, Gu Weiqi also saw several of his successful aphorisms on the Internet: when deciding on something, he will carefully study it in advance, and when he decides, he will move forward bravely; Even if I have a hundred strength to succeed, I have to reserve two hundred strength to attack, rather than just gamble; The hard life is the best exercise in my life, especially being a salesman, which has taught me a lot of things and understood a lot of things. All of these are things that I can't buy today with 100 million or 10 billion.
Thinking of this, Gu Weiqi couldn't help but sigh secretly, it seems that anyone's success is not accidental. It's like yourself, if you don't have so much information in your head, you will definitely not be able to earn such a huge net worth in just two years. But now is not the time to sigh, when Shao Tycoon introduced him, he hurriedly shook hands with a few people warmly and greeted him.
And several tycoons don't dare to hold it up, you must know that ordinary people may not know Gu Weiqi's huge net worth now. But for them, the tycoons, nature is no secret. Especially on his face, it was revealed that the TV station, the film company and the China Entertainment Times have become a legendary international music company, and these four companies alone are worth billions, which is not much better than any of them.
Especially Gu Weiqi is still young, if such a young rich man does not have an accident, his future achievements are absolutely limitless. It would also be very beneficial for them to make friends with such a young person. In particular, Chinese people pay attention to the relationship when doing business, and if they are good now, maybe they will be able to use this relationship in the future.
Gu Weiqi greeted them and exchanged phone numbers, and Shao Tycoon went on to introduce him to some other wealthy people in the upper class of Xiangjiang. But most of these people he didn't recognize. But out of politeness, he still greeted with a smile.
At this moment, two well-dressed young men came to Chen Yulian and Zhao Yuzhi, who were whispering on the side, one of them had a white face, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the young man who looked quite sven stared at Zhao Yuzhi and said with a smile: "Hello Miss Zhao, my name is Zhou Dingguang, I am the young owner of Hengguang Jewelry Company, I am your fan, I am so happy to be able to meet the idol here today!" ”
Zhao Yuzhi glanced up at him, and found that this person's gaze hidden behind the lenses was like a wolf looking at her body, she had seen a lot of eyes like this, and her heart was as disgusted as eating a fly, but out of politeness, she still nodded and said, "Hello Mr. Zhou." ”
At that time, another young man in a well-cut black suit was staring at Chen Yulian with burning eyes and accosted: "Hello Miss Chen, my name is Hai Shaorong, I am your loyal fan, it is really rare to meet Miss Chen here, can you meet her?" As he spoke, he held out his hand.
Chen Yulian, who has always been relatively cold, felt uncomfortable when she saw the other party's gaze, so she raised her eyebrows and said bluntly without giving face: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in meeting you!" After that, he stepped forward and took Zhao Yuzhi's hand, intending to stay away from this guy.
How do you know that this person actually stepped forward and stopped in front of Chen Yulian, and scolded in a low voice with a gloomy face: "Stinky bitch, to put it bluntly, you are just a play, what kind of score are you putting in front of this young master?" Ma, what Young Master Ben is most unaccustomed to is a woman like you who pretends to be tall. Believe it or not, Lao Tzu found someone to turn you? ”
