After Ling Shirong went home that night, he told his wife Wu Zijuan what happened.

After hearing this, Wu Zijuan said to him: "According to the seventh brother, Asian cinemas may become a well-known international cinema company by then. In particular, his construction plan for Chinatown cinemas in the United States and community cinemas in Southeast Asia is very bright, and many film companies in Hong Kong dream of selling their films to Hollywood, and they have also made a lot of efforts, but they have not succeeded because of the cultural differences between the East and the West.

I always thought that one of our films might occasionally break into Hollywood, and the rest would only go around in the South Seas, and we wanted to break into Hollywood, but our eyes were always on the mainstream theaters, and we never thought about the non-mainstream theaters. Who are the people who go to mainstream theaters to watch movies? Whites, whites are their mainstream, and that's not our home field. This is not the case with Chinatown and other Asian and Southeast Asian communities such as Japan and Korea, where people live there have no cultural barriers to Hong Kong films.

Many of the Orientals there have never left Chinatown in their lives, speaking Chinese, eating Chinese food, behaving and habits, and even using Chinese characters, which are all due to American racial discrimination. ”

Ling Shirong smiled: "You are very optimistic about the seventh brother's plan?" But I don't see it that way. ”

……

"Brother Seven's plan is indeed very good, but don't forget how many film companies in Hong Kong will understand the truth, their eyes will only be on the mainstream cinemas, they look down on the non-mainstream, and they can't attract these small and medium-sized film production companies with this."

"This ...... Alas! Wu Zijuan sighed in disappointment, Ling Shirong was not bad at all, Hong Kong's film production companies, whether it is Shaw Brothers or Golden Harvest, are only staring at the mainstream theaters in the United States, and have never carefully analyzed the box office market in the United States.

Just like the later generations of Shimen Film Company, they never produce and distribute mainstream movies, because Lionsgate knows that mainstream movies are not his thing, it has long been controlled by Hollywood's seven **, DreamWorks wants to kill them to grab meat to eat, and what will happen in the end? It ended up being split and acquired.

And Shimen Company is very smart, and has always focused on very niche horror films or plasma films and low-cost style films, and worked hard to manage niche fans, and after a few decades, it became the eighth largest after the Seven**.

Ling Shizhe adopts the same strategy as Lionsgate and takes a niche route, and they are all released in non-mainstream small theaters, but Lionsgate takes niche films such as plasma fear, while he takes Chinese kung fu movies.

With the memory of his previous life, he knows that there are quite a number of Chinese kung fu fans in North America, and they are quite obsessed with Hong Kong kung fu movies, so although this market is not as big as the mainstream market, as long as it is well managed, the money earned is not worse than the regular mainstream, but it is a pity that Hong Kong in the previous life did not manage this market well, and the quality of the films made was quite inferior and ruined the reputation, and in the end, no one watched Hong Kong films, not only white people did not watch them, but even the Chinese in Chinatown were disgusted with Hong Kong films, and the market was rotten. In the end, no one watched Hong Kong films.

Since Ling Shizhe has been reborn, of course it is impossible to look at this market and turn a blind eye, he hopes to change, so he told Ling Shirong this suggestion, hoping that he will manage this market well, although it is small, it is much fatter than the Hong Kong market.

Wu Zijuan read Ling Shizhe's plan several times, and then picked up the cash check that was put aside, and the many zeros on it were very dazzling.

I don't know how long it took, Ling Shirong broke the silence and said, "Ajuan, what do you think? I originally planned to sell the theater, but now the seventh brother is mixing ...... I can see that he has put a lot of thought into us! My relationship with Lao Qi has not been very good since I was a child, and he has never been willing to see my second brother, but today he helped me like this, I can see that he is sincere, what do you say I should do? ”

……

After being silent for a while, Wu Zijuan said: "Although the two of you are brothers, the age difference between the two of you is so big, and our children are only one or two years younger than the seventh brother, how can you have a conflict?" ”

"Hey! Speaking of this, it's a long ......" Ling Shirong shook his head and sighed: "Zijuan, do you know, before I met you, I pursued Zhang Yuzhen, the mother of the seventh child. ”

Wu Zijuan stood up and asked loudly: "What's the matter, ...... age difference between you and Zhang Yuzhen" He suddenly remembered that Zhang Yuzhen was about the same age as Ling Shirong: "What's the matter with you and her?" ”

"Zhang Yuzhen's age is only three years older than me." Ling Shirong explained: "At that time, our Ling family had just moved to Hong Kong, and Lao Dou was doing smuggling business for his mentor He Yingqin, and the eldest brother was the eldest son who wanted to run the goods himself, and he was often not by Lao Dou's side, so I became Lao Dou's assistant. Our Ling family is doing smuggling, **, arms, Western medicines do everything, the money is not coming from the right way to launder, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority at that time is not as strict as the current black gold monitoring, so at that time, Hong Kong banks had money laundering services for gangs/gangs, and even set up a special money laundering department - special service department.

We found Standard Chartered Bank to launder money for us, and we were not at ease with other banks, Zhang Yuzhen was the manager of the special service department of Standard Chartered Bank. Due to business needs, I met Zhang Yuzhen with Lao Dou, I liked Zhang Yuzhen when I first met her, she was very beautiful when she was young, I was crazy to pursue her, but she was not interested in me at all, saying that I was just a child who had not grown up. Ling Shirong shook his head with a wry smile.

"And then?"

Ling Shirong recalled: "Under my constant pursuit, she began to accept me slowly, and we dated for a while. ”

Wu Zijuan asked in surprise, "Have you dating...... How long have you been dating? ”

"More than three months."

"More than three months, haha, more than three months......" Wu Zijuan suddenly remembered something, pointed at him and asked: "You have been dating for more than three months, so should Ling Shizhe, this child, ...... Could it be ......?"

Ling Shirong knew what she was referring to, and quickly denied it: "What are you guessing blindly, your imagination is too rich, I have nothing with Zhang Yuzhen, I have been dating her for three months, and I haven't even held my hand." ”

"Humph! I haven't even held hands, I don't believe it, your Ling family is all **, I don't believe you haven't touched her after three months of dating. ”

"Oh, old woman! I've convinced you, and you don't want to think about what era we were when we were young? At that time, it was all the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. Although there is free love, but like today's young people, they all go to bed before they get married, although I had a relationship with her at that time, but I can't touch her before I get married, just that gossip doesn't drown me! Don't talk about her, let's just talk about the two of us, we have been dating for two years before we got married, and I haven't touched you in those two years, and I haven't pulled my hand a few times, right? ”

Wu Zijuan thought about it, at that time, it was not as good as now, not to mention that men and women would not even pull their hands when they fell in love, because once they were discovered, they would be accused of indiscretion by the people around them.

I believed most of Ling Shirong's words, but she was still a little uneasy and asked, "You really have nothing to do with her?" ”

Ling Shirong said loudly: "There is no ......! If Lao Qi is my child, I still don't want to see him like this, you should believe him now, right? ”

Wu Zijuan would believe it, if Ling Shizhe was his illegitimate child, he would not treat him badly, but he never had a good impression of Ling Shizhe, this is a fact that cannot be changed.

"Since Zhang Yuzhen was your ** when you were young, why did she become your little mother?"

"Hey, when the party-state and the Communist Party failed to fight for the world and retreated to Taiwan/Bay, I stayed in Taiwan/Bay for nearly a year to find out the news of my father's career before coming back, I originally planned to marry her, but when I came to Hong Kong, she became my little mother and her belly was big." Thinking of the events of that year, Ling Shirong sighed, and recalled: "My girlfriend became my little mother and gave birth to Lao Dou, I think this woman is very cheap, and she can do anything to enter the Ling family, so I hate her and her child, that is, Lao Qi." I have always been bad to him when I was a child, and I even deliberately found fault and beat him a few times, and I was very afraid of me when I was a child, and I hated me even more. Because of my obstruction, Zhang Yuzhen's mother and son have not had a good time over the years, she has never come to me to ask for my forgiveness, I have never looked for her, and I have not even gone to the door. Later, when he developed, we didn't even see each other, I avoided him when he was there, and he avoided him when I was there. I didn't expect this time...... Lao Qi actually took the initiative to come to me and help me like this...... Hey......"

Wu Zijuan said: "Since you hate their mother and son, according to your temper, the seventh brother invited you, you should not see him, why did you see him again?" ”

Ling Shirong looked at her right hand and pointed to her gray hair and said sadly: "Look at my hair, I am already over half a hundred years old, to the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, I have experienced too many things and too many ups and downs over the years, the things of the year have long been seen, Zhang Yuzhen is also a poor person, her family is poor, her father and brother died on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, and her mother has been dependent on each other since childhood, if she wants to live a happy second half of her life, she must find a solid family, Lao Dou happens to be the most suitable candidate for her, and although I am the second young master of the Ling family, I am not the most suitable person for her, if I marry her, I can only be a concubine in her capacity, anyway, I am a concubine for others, and it is more cost-effective to marry my Lao Dou. It was just that I saw it, so when Lao Qi took the initiative to find me, I didn't think long before I agreed to see him. ”

Maybe Ling Shirong said too sadly, and after finishing speaking, neither of them spoke, and the room suddenly became quiet.

"When...... While...... When the clock on the ......" wall struck three times, it was already three o'clock in the morning of the next day, Wu Zijuan looked up at Ling Shirong, who was sitting on the chair silently, and said half-loudly: "Shirong, you and I have been married for many years, do you tell me the truth that Lao Qi really has nothing to do with you at all?" ”

"You ......" Ling Shizhe was so angry that he stood up, pointed at her and said, "You...... Why is it here again, didn't I make it very clear, I don't have the kind of relationship you think with him, he's just my half-brother, understand? If your cranky thinking was known to the old man, he wouldn't kill me? Don't chew your tongue there, I really regret telling you this. ”

Wu Zijuan looked at him for a while and said, "I chewed the root of my tongue...... Then why does he look so much like you? "I said you ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Zijuan interrupted: "Okay, I don't bother to care about your affairs with that Zhang Yuzhen, I just want to know how you plan to deal with the affairs of Asian cinemas?" According to Lao Qi, you have to continue to operate? ”

Speaking of the matter of the theater, Ling Shirong temporarily completely threw away what happened just now, after all, the theater was what he cared about the most, sat down again, thought for a long time and said: "I'm old, you know my body bones, I can't do it, I don't have the original spirit anymore...... In addition, several children don't like to run a cinema, they all want to engage in real estate, why do they spend so much effort, and in the end they don't make wedding clothes for others, forget it, I won't toss it, I can't toss it when I'm old, sell the theater, and return the money to the seventh. I know that he lent me this money for another purpose, I don't want my eldest brother to use this money to buy land and build a house, he hates our Ling family for real estate the most. Ay! Hong Kong people don't do real estate what to do, and there is anyone in Hong Kong who can be a monster like him. ”

"It's okay to sell it, your body and bones have collapsed all these years for this theater, and if you sell us to go to Switzerland for the elderly, it's time for you to rest, I'll go to sleep if it's not early, you should go to bed early."

"Well, you go to sleep first, I'll go take a shower and sleep."

After Wu Zijuan went upstairs, Ling Shirong slowly went upstairs, he didn't go to the bathroom, but came to the study, and took out a photo from a book in the bookshelf and looked at it.

In the photo, a little boy smiled very brightly, and Ling Shirong looked at the photo with kindness in his eyes.

He watched intently, not noticing that the door to the study hadn't been closed when he entered, revealing a little gap, and a pair of eyes outside the door were quietly looking at him and the photo in his hand.
