Yuen Long is the northwesternmost of the eight administrative regions of Hong Kong, located in the northwest of the New Territories, surrounded by mountains on three sides, the terrain is flat, Yuen Long is a plain, originally this is a continuous farmland. In mountainous Hong Kong, there is only this flat and vast plain.

Shen Zhong, the 14k behind-the-scenes veteran, chose to live in the remote and secluded Yuen Long, in Wang Xiaohu's opinion, it seems too petty bourgeoisie, and he has to drive here every day to practice martial arts, which is really hard, after all, the traffic in the countryside is not very convenient, and many roads are potholes, not to mention, they are particularly narrow, and sometimes only one car can be passed.

"Uncle Zhong, when did you move to Kowloon City to live, this place is too remote, not to mention, it's not convenient to pick up Yan Tsai to school every day." In order to reduce the time he wasted on the road, Wang Xiaohu could only persuade Shen Zhong to move his nest.

Shen Zhong smiled: "It's not too late to wait for Yanzai to start school in a few days." ”

After Shen Zhong finished speaking, he paced in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, looked at the grass and trees in the courtyard, sighed with emotion and said: "Xiaohu, you don't know how many memories this land in Yuen Long bears me, after following Ah Wen to Hong Kong, Ah Wen taught Wing Chun in Kowloon, I worked hard with a brother of 14k in Yuen Long, and then my brother became a 14k word pile of words, and I also followed him to dip the light, and then later, we worked hard together to live a good life, and then later, he went, leaving me to support 14k, This yard was my brother's property, and for decades I lived here for a while. ”

Wang Xiaohu quietly listened to this bigwig-level figure who once commanded Xiangjiang tell the past events, some things he was very interested in, and although he didn't dare to agree with some things, he would not disappoint the old man's interest.

Shen Zhong said something about 14k and the club, and after being silent for a long time, he sighed and said, "Maybe it's because of your age, I've always recalled the past in the past year, so it's better if you don't laugh at it." ”

Wang Xiaohu shook his head and said, "It's too late to envy some things, how can you laugh at them." ”

Shen Zhong is a person with a story, in fact, every Hong Kong person of the same age as Shen Zhong will have a story of their own, maybe they are not as vigorous as Shen Zhong and other community bosses, but they also have their own tastes, Wang Xiaohu has imagined the scene when he is old in his spare time, I don't know if he will be the same as Shen Zhong, he likes to tell his sons and grandsons the stories of his youth, but one thing is for sure, his story is definitely more exciting than Shen Zhong, and it is legendary.

Shen Zhong sat on the bluestone slab, looked at Wang Xiaohu with a smile and asked, "Boy, I heard that you drummed up a large film and television base last year, why haven't you seen any movement recently?" ”

Wang Xiaohu didn't care whether there was dust on the bluestone slab, sat down, turned his head sideways and said: "A few years ago, I asked Uncle Sixth to help find a venue, but I was told that at present, Hong Kong British political axe can't find a suitable territory, after all, the film and television city I planned is a behemoth in their eyes. ”

"Hehe, your current financial resources are quite appalling in Hong Kong, don't you feel very depressed when you have money and no place to spend it?" Shen Zhong smiled and squeezed Wang Xiaohu and said.

Wang Xiaohu nodded helplessly: "Sometimes it's like this, but I don't like to deal with those so-called upper classes, otherwise this matter would have been done a long time ago." ”

"Would you like to give you a chance to spend money?" Shen Zhong suddenly said mysteriously.

Wang Xiaohu frowned, looked at Shen Zhong and said with some puzzlement: "What did Uncle Zhong say about this?" ”

Shen Zhong didn't answer him directly, but stood up, led Wang Xiaohu out of the courtyard gate, pointed to a field in front of him and said: "There is nothing else in Yuen Long, there are still a lot of large crops like this, if you are not afraid of trouble, you can try to build your film and television city here." ”

"It's all in the countryside, so your investment cost will be reduced a lot, but as a price, you have to repair several of the main roads from Yuen Long to Kowloon City."

Wang Xiaohu's eyes lit up, to be honest, Shen Zhong's words were not unreasonable, the land in Yuen Long was indeed open enough, so he nodded and said: "This place is really good, if you can move the residents to relocate, it should be the best location for the film and television city." And the road in Yuen Long is indeed time to be repaired. ”

Wang Xiaohu has long suffered from the consequences of inconvenient transportation, as Shen Zhong said, if you want to build a film and television city in Yuen Long, the first problem to solve is the road. At that time, there was such a popular propaganda slogan in many rural areas in China: to get rich, first build roads, which fully shows that traffic is directly linked to the degree of empowerment of villages and towns, and I don't know who summed up this slogan, in short, it is very real and vivid.

"Heartbeat, huh?" Shen Zhong said as he walked with his hands behind his back, "How much land do you plan to occupy?" ”

"Not much, the first phase of the project covers an area of more than 200 acres, mainly to build the studio of the Republic of China to the present." Wang Xiaohu said.

"200 acres is not much?" Shen Zhong gasped, looked left and right for a long time and said, "You at least want to occupy these villages, your ambitions are too big, right?" ”

"So-so, you must know that Shaw Brothers Film and Television City also has 200 acres of land, how can I say that it must be bigger than Shaw Brothers, right?" Wang Xiaohu smiled bitterly and said, "Sixth Uncle, what are you asking these for, is there any way?" ”

"Nonsense!" Shen Zhong scolded with a smile: "If there is no way, what am I doing so much." Shen Zhong continued to walk forward and said: "I'll tell you the truth, I am familiar with the people in these villages, 14k Many people came out of these villages, but those old people left one after another, and the family was broken, and I didn't want their children and grandchildren to embark on this old road, so I wanted to rob you, the rich man." ”

"Uh, Uncle Zhong, don't you say it so directly, it's very shocking." Wang Xiaohu rolled his eyes.

Shen Zhong ignored him, and said to himself: "You repair the road, it can be regarded as helping them solve a big problem, if you occupy their crops, they can also get a lot of compensation, the construction of your film and television city needs a large number of workers, and these people in the village will take advantage of this to solve the employment problem, I believe that after the construction of the film and television city is completed, they will also carry out a series of survival and entrepreneurship around it, I have been thinking about this matter for a long time, and it is still cheap for you kid in the end." ”

"I don't think it's taking advantage." Wang Xiaohu said this in his mouth, but he quickly weighed the pros and cons in his heart, if there was a Hong Kong British political axe to provide the land boundary, the approved site would definitely not meet his original requirements, after all, the most vacant place in Kowloon City now is less than 50 acres of land, and the rent is expensive. If you choose to build in Yuen Long, even if you give some compensation to the villagers, the price will be much less than that given to the political axe.

What makes Wang Xiaohu feel the most comfortable is that there are still many, many crops in Yuen Long, and the second and third phases of his film and television city projects can continue to be carried out later. Compared with the huge amount of money for construction, building a few roads is insignificant, not to mention that he must have a wide road to enter Yuen Long, otherwise the machinery and equipment used to build the building may not be able to drive in.

Another point is very interesting, the construction of the film and television city can drive the economic development of the Yuen Long area, and many related industries will also flourish in the next few years, directly solving the employment problem for the Hong Kong British political axe.

Shen Zhong still wanted to say something, but Wang Xiaohu couldn't wait to go back, he wanted to facilitate the handling at this time as soon as possible, the film and television city started as soon as possible, and his money would be spent quickly, otherwise he only knew how to make money and didn't know how to make money with money, it seemed too sad, didn't it?

As Wang Xiaohu expected, Hong Kong Yingzheng quickly approved the documents, and not only did not block Wang Xiaohu's application, but gave Wang Xiaohu a clear answer at the speed of a green light: That place belongs to you! It has even given some support and support in some policies, such as a 10% reduction in rent, and an extension of the use period from the initial 20 years to 30 years, that is, from now until 2015, Wang Xiaohu can use the land without any worries. (After the return, it is free to say, in short, this is the base of Brother Tiger's dynasty.) When this matter is handled properly, "Seven Little Blessings" was officially launched, and the start-up scene was extremely grand, Yu Zhanyuan brought the main actors such as Seven Little Blessings, New Seven Little Blessings, Lin Zhengying, etc., using the ceremony of apprenticeship that year to start the film, and many peers in the circle rushed to come over to cheer, such as Run Run Shaw, Jin Yong, Liu Jialiang, Shi Jian, Li Hanxiang, etc., and the female stars present were also very eye-catching, a Zhao Yazhi with a high and elegant temperament, the mature and charming Wang Mingquan, Mi Xue, who had missed out on "A Tiger", and Miao Kexiu, the representative of the acting school, Make the boot ceremony look particularly amazing.

Hong Kong media from all walks of life also rushed to the opening ceremony for interviews, "Seven Little Blessings" has become a major event in the Hong Kong film industry at this time, the Seven Little Blessings of the year, the current overlord of the film industry, the biopic of the same name reproduces the growth experience of the Seven Little Blessings, and the big-name stars help, etc., etc., etc., making "Seven Little Blessings" the focus of Hong Kong films in 75 years.

What attracted the attention of reporters at the scene was the "New Seven Little Blessings" standing behind Wang Xiaohu, but this new Seven Little Blessings does not refer to seven people, but is headed by Stephen Chow, Shen Moyan, Andy Lau, Weng Meiling, Huang Yuehua Five male and female teenagers, everyone is familiar with Stephen Chow and Weng Meiling, after all, one of them is Wang Xiaohu's apprentice, and the other is Wang Xiaohu's second daughter, and the two left a deep impression on the Hong Kong audience in "Ip Man" and "Ah Hu" respectively.

And Shen Moyan, Andy Lau, and Huang Yuehua are the three teenagers who appeared in front of the media for the first time, Wang Xiaohu put these three little guys in such an important position so ceremoniously, does it mean that he is going to praise people again?
