Chapter 11: The First Pot of Gold
Shen Chong got into a taxi and left.
Shu Qi and the three walked along the street, chatting and walking.
"I've always had the belief that I'm not a genius, but I've never thought that anyone else is smarter than me." Shu Qi first sighed: "But after meeting Ah Chong, I always feel ashamed. β
"yes." Chen Baisheng smoked a cigarette and said: "I have never seen a person with such a huge amount of knowledge, think about what I just talked about, teenage pop culture, criminal psychology, movie style, marketing, etc., each of them is not simple, but each of them can say a truth, which is thought-provoking and heartbreaking." β
"Family history, didn't Ah Chong say that his parents are cultural people, and he went to the Chinese Department of Hong Kong University, diligent enough, smart enough, read a lot of books, know a lot, nothing unusual." Yan Hao didn't care about this, he said another question, "When you were with Ah Chong, did you feel weird?" β
"Weird?" Shu Qi asked, "What do you mean by weird?" β
"I can't say it, it's just a feeling." Yan Hao thought for a while, but didn't think of how to express it, just at this time passing by a fresh seafood restaurant, Yan Hao had a flash of inspiration, pointed to the seafood swimming in the glass tank, and said: "I feel that Ah Chong looks at us, just like we look at the fish in this tank." β
"You mean......" Chen Baisheng deliberately dragged out his voice, and before he finished speaking, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it, and then said: "Ah Chong is an ogre? Ready to steam us? β
His words caused a burst of laughter from the two.
"You think too much, I mean ......" After laughing, Yan Hao organized his language and said: "When we look at the fish in the tank, we naturally have a sense of superiority, because we can control their fate, I feel that Ah Chong also has this sense of superiority, and when he looks at me, he seems to be able to see my future." β
"Come on." Chen Baisheng didn't believe it, and said: "If he can really see the future, will he still have the kung fu to mess with us?" Wrapped around his waist early, and Bao Yugang and Li Ka-shing went to drink coffee. β
β¦β¦
If Shen Chong was present, he would definitely admire Yan Hao's acumen very much.
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally refused to take the experience of participating in Yan Hao's new film as a test result, because he knew Yan Hao's future exhibition journey.
Film is a very wide-ranging and complex industry, and it is impossible to achieve assembly-line standard production like other commodities, except for a very few geniuses, the vast majority of directors, the quality is unstable.
Shen Chong didn't remember what movies Yan Hao had made with a good reputation after "Solabeine" and before "Like Water", and he joined the crew as a newcomer and friend, his influence was too weak, the quality was not guaranteed, and the participation was low, so after thinking about it, he gave up this opportunity.
When he got home, he saw that the lights were on inside, and Li Kaiyuan was really waiting for him.
knocked on the door, and it was Li Kaiyuan who opened the door, she put her hands behind her back, smiled, and shouted loudly as soon as she met: "Ah Chong, guess how many Rubik's cubes were sold today?" β
Li Kaiyuan had a faint smell of wine, Shen Chong looked at the room, the coffee table was full of leftovers, and there were a few empty beer bottles, it seemed that after the investigation, Huang Xin and they also had dinner here.
"Your eyes are full of gold coin symbols." Shen Chong smiled and said, "Now you are relieved?" β
"Guess, guess how many were sold." Li Kaiyuan jumped up and down, as if the little girl had gotten her beloved doll, which made Shen Chong stunned, and his heart beat more.
Li Kaiyuan is not a beauty in the traditional sense, she has thick eyebrows, a straight nose, thin lips, and very delicate facial features, but the lines are clear, not soft enough, plus she has short hair, and she doesn't like to dress up, Shen Chong usually ignores her gender, at this time, under the orange light, seeing her delicate appearance, I suddenly realized that there is such a big beauty by my side.
This kind of neutral beauty does not conform to the aesthetics of the current era, and in the future, this beauty with the temperament of a queen is the favorite of the majority of otaku.
"Hey, what's the, guess!" Li Kaiyuan put his left hand behind his back, and his right hand shook in front of Shen Chong, interrupting his reverie.
"Two thousand?" Shen Chong casually reported the number jΓΉ.
"No, guess again."
"Three thousand?"
"Three thousand seven hundred and eighty-six!" Li Kaiyuan couldn't hide it, and soon revealed the answer, she stretched out her left hand that had been hidden behind her back, handed Shen Chong a form, and shouted: "Look, this is the number we counted." β
After taking the form and hurriedly browsing it, Shen Chong couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
There are 3786 Rubik's cubes, of which nearly 2ooo are mirror Rubik's cubes, no wonder Li Kaiyuan is so happy.
Because of the tight time, this batch of Rubik's cubes is only encapsulated with ordinary dust-proof film, and there is no outer packaging such as boxes, so the cost is very low, but it is not cheap to sell, an ordinary third-order Rubik's cube can earn about 3o yuan, and the profit of the mirror Rubik's Cube is higher, Shen Chong set the price at 128 yuan, and one can earn more than 1oo.
In this way, on the first day of listing, it earned nearly 3o yuan, and most of the capital invested was recovered, and only one-eighth of it was sold, and the rest was almost all profits, according to this sales degree, it only took a few days to sell out 30,000 Rubik's cubes.
No wonder Li Kaiyuan is so excited, in less than a month, he made one or two million, which is more than what she earned by working hard for four or five years!
Shen Chong no longer maintained his usual calmness, he habitually clenched his fists, made a few boxing movements into the air, and shouted: "Yes! β
Then something unexpected happened, Li Kaiyuan suddenly pounced, hugged Shen Chong, and kissed him on the cheek.
"Ah Chong, you ......"
She might just be too excited and wanted to express her gratitude to Shen Chong.
Although Shen Chong is not a prodigal son in love, he is not a junior brother, so he naturally will not let go of such an opportunity, he hugged Li Kaiyuan tightly and directly sealed her tongue with his mouth......
It is said that women have no resistance to forced kissing, and in later generations, there were robbers who forcibly kissed women and robbed money when she lost her body control.
Shen Chong didn't know if it was true or not, in short, when he kissed, Li Kaiyuan's body stiffened for a while, and then quickly softened, if it wasn't for Shen Chong's hugging tightly, she would have collapsed to the ground.
Shen Chong is not a nymphomaniac with a sperm worm on his brain, he thinks that it is better to watch a small movie and have pleasure in watching a small movie, you love me, and doing something inappropriate for children in a warm atmosphere of affection and love is really a joy in the world.
So he didn't take advantage of the situation, just hugged Li Kaiyuan's soft body and enjoyed the warm feeling.
The two hugged like this, and I don't know how long it took, Li Kaiyuan pushed Shen Chong away and said in a low voice: "I'll go back, otherwise my mother will find me." β
"Okay." Shen Chong helped open the door, "Good night." β
"Hmm." Li Kaiyuan walked a few steps, turned back, looked at Shen Chong with big bright eyes, and said thoughtlessly: "I will follow you for the rest of my life." β
After saying that, he walked away, and Shen Chong stood at the top of the stairs until he couldn't hear the footsteps downstairs, then he returned to the room and closed the door.
Although rolling the sheets is very beautiful, Shen Chong enjoys the process of interacting with girls more, especially girls with connotation and personality, there will always be unexpected surprises and life experiences.
β¦β¦
The next day, Shen Chong observed, and now Li Kaiyuan is normal except for a little dodging his gaze, and there is no ordinary girl's pretension at all, what to say, what to do.
Yesterday, because it was late, the bank had been closed, Li Kaiyuan only investigated the number of jΓΉ, did not collect the accounts, this morning, Shen Chong led the army, circled around Hong Kong again, collected the consignment money, and signed a contract with the convenience store owner who wanted to buy goods, and collected the advance payment.
After a circle, the company received nearly 5o yuan, and with money, things are easy to do.
The sales of the mirror Rubik's Cube are so good, which shows that it is very popular in the white-collar class. So before Li Kaiyuan went out to the factory to continue placing orders, Shen Chong instructed her to order a new Rubik's Cube: make the current mirror Rubik's Cube one size bigger, and replace the stickers with gold - the cost will not rise much, but the price will increase a lot...... Gold is more expensive than silver, and the golden Rubik's Cube is naturally more expensive than silver.
At present, the company's boss and employees, a total of four people, Li Kaiyuan is responsible for the production business, Huang Xin is in charge of office logistics, part-time finance, A worm is responsible for transportation, the three of them went to the factory together, and Shen Chong stayed in the office.
With the current sales of the Rubik's Cube, after the Spring Festival, Shen Chong will have enough money to invest in a movie.
Now that the first pot of gold is in hand, it's time to plan how to complete the trial mission.
After inquiring with Li Tang a few times, "The Legend of the White Witch" has no signs of starting work at present, Zhang Xinyan is still changing the script, and a leftist film company like the Great Wall has a rigid decision-making mechanism, low efficiency, complex personnel, and conservative thinking.
Yan Hao's new film has been vetoed, so naturally he will not consider it again.
After thinking for a while, Shen Chong picked up a pen and wrote down the names of several directors and movies in his notebook.
Tsui Hark, "Butterfly Transformation".
Zhang Guoming, "Pointing Soldiers".
Ann Hui, "Crazy Robbery".
These three are classics that no book about the New Wave of Hong Kong cinema cannot fail to mention, and if you invest in filming one of them as a trial, you will definitely get the best rewards.
Knocking on the table with a pen, Shen Chong struggled for a while, and then crossed out Tsui Hark and "Butterfly Change".
Tsui Hark was Shen Chong's idol as a teenager, and it would be a great honor to invest in his debut film.
However, according to Cai Jiguang's narration, Tsui Hark is already preparing to shoot this drama, Wu Siyuan is a movie boss, and Tsui Hark is notoriously stubborn and has a strong desire to control, and now that he has joined in, the participation is a little low.
So after struggling for a long time, Shen Chong still gave up "Butterfly Change", and there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future, so there is no need to rush for a while.
"Pointing Soldiers", known as the founder of Hong Kong police and gangster films, the quality of the film and its status in film history are in line with Shen Chong's requirements, but at the last symposium, I didn't see Zhang Guoming, and I don't know if he has started filming this movie now.
Picking up the phone, Shen Chong called Shu Qi, and when he asked, he found out that Zhang Guoming was currently mixed with Teddy Robin, preparing to shoot a movie about young people playing music. (Note 1)
Hanging up the phone, Shen Chong searched his memory and looked for Hong Kong movies about music, "New Love", "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", ...... There are classic movies, but none of them are Zhang Guoming's works, it seems that his play is either too bad or not filmed at all.
As a result, only Xu Anhua's "Crazy Robbery" remains.
"Crazy Robbery" is recognized as one of the masterpieces of the New Wave of Hong Kong cinema, and the starring roles are Zhang Aijia and Zhao Yazhi, two legendary actresses, who are very attractive to Shen Chong.
I asked Fang Yuping, who had filmed dramas with Xu Anhua in the TVB film department, and he said that Xu Anhua was also a director in the TV department of Radio Television Hong Kong, and he didn't hear that she had plans to make movies.
Shen Chong drew a heavy line under the names of Xu Anhua and "Crazy Robbery".
After the Spring Festival, after the first pot of gold is in place, I will find Xu Anhua and invest in her "Crazy Robbery"!
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Note 1: Teddy Robin is a famous musician in Hong Kong in the early days, he once wanted to go abroad to study movies, so he asked Zhang Guoming to make a short film for him as an application material, but the result was unsuccessful, but Zhang Guoming's talent was revealed, so he entered the TV station, and finally embarked on the road of directing.
