Chapter XXII

readx;?β€œ Girl, when will your sister and Ning Ning come back? ”

"My sister didn't say anything. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Tianbao squeezed his eyebrows and grimaced, and then took advantage of Aunt Liu's turn, quietly leaned over, took away the dish in front of Shen Chong, and said, "Sister Ning Ning said that it will probably be the end of the month." ”

"How did it take so long?" Aunt Liu picked up the bowl, gave Li Tangsheng soup, and complained: "ShenzhenδΈ¨The conditions are not good, she always runs outside on a hot day, and when she comes back, she must be tanned and thin." ”

"Yuan Yuan is young, what's wrong with enduring more hardship." Li Tang was a little presbyopia, he sat sideways at the dining table, held the newspaper far away, and said while reading: "She is in much better conditions now than we were then, the company has air conditioning, and there is a private car when you go out, what do you care." ”

"The conditions are good, that's because your daughter is more capable than you, when I married you, there was also an air conditioner on the market, can you afford it? You can't even afford a broken fan. Aunt Liu quarreled with him, and then said: "She is now the director of Jardine Matheson, and she has to go to the newspaper often, she is tanned and thin, how can she go out to meet people." Don't look at it, eat Ah Chong, come, drink a bowl of soup first. ”

Shen Chong put away the magazines on the table, took the bowl full of soup, and said with a smile: "I'll go to Shenzhen in two days to have a look, and if I'm not busy with work, I'll bring Yuan Yuan back." ”

"I'm going too"

"If you want to make a TV series, how can you have time to run around." Shen Chong used a spoon to point out Tianbao and said, "Do you know what the first precept is to be a big star?" ”

"What is it?"

"I can't help myself." Shen Chong took a sip of soup and said: "You have to listen to the boss, the director, the agent, and the media reporters. ”

"I'm not a big star now, Mr. Gan said let me play a small role."

"It's even worse if it's not a big star, in addition to listening to the words of the people I just said, you also have to listen to the words of the assistant director, listen to the words of the screenwriter, listen to the words of the drama department, listen to the words of the big star, listen to the words of the supporting role of the little star, listen to the words of the small characters who are older than you, in short, even the time to eat and sleep is not yours."

Tianbao struggled between filming TV and going out to play, looked at Shen Chong with suspicious eyes, and said, "I don't believe it, brother-in-law, you lied to me again." ”

"If you don't believe me, just try it." Shen Chong snickered and said, "If you don't believe it, ask Dad, he has been in the film studio for so many years and knows more than me, I will lie to you, Dad will not lie to you." ”

When Tianbao was born, the Great Wall Film Studio had come to a standstill, and the Li family had also moved to Guantang, so she didn't know movies as well as Li Kaiyuan, so she turned her head sideways and asked Li Tang: "Dad, is what my brother-in-law said true?" ”

"It's true." Li Tang said sullenly: "Acting is very hard, don't go to H, honestly learn your homework at home." ”

"Don't" Tianbao has reached the period of youth rebellion, subconsciously rebelling against the authority of his parents, arguing: "Sister IVIA is also a big star, she doesn't have to listen to others, she can do whatever she wants."

Shen Chong peeked and found that Li Tang and Aunt Liu looked calm, and they didn't react to Tianbao's words, so he was relieved and said, "When you go to H to try, you will know whether it is hard or not." ”

Then he changed the subject and asked Aunt Liu: "Mom, how is the business in the store recently?" ”

"Since the weather got hotter, there have been a lot fewer customers." Aunt Liu threw herself into the hot pot restaurant, after more than a year of operation, it is no longer Wuxia Ameng, she stopped the chopsticks, said: "The hot pot is still too single, I am ready to diversify the operation, Ah He's dumplings are well done, very popular, some customers eat hot pot, but also deliberately buy some to cook and eat at home, please make dumplings manually The efficiency is too low, the cost is high, and it is not hygienic, I am thinking, can I use a machine to do it, make more, take it out and sell it alone, do you think it will work?"

"This idea is good, Sister Zang's dumplings do taste good, you can make them bigger." Shen Chong agreed and said, "Mom, why don't you open a branch office in Yu Crisp and build a fast food factory that specializes in dumplings?" ”

Aunt Liu still maintained a cautious mentality, and when she heard this, she hesitated a little and said, "I just want to make some dumplings to sell in the store, and I don't want to go to a factory." ”

However, she has made a lot of money in the past year, and she has gradually gained confidence, and she trusts Shen Chong again, and asks: "Ah Chong, if you build a factory, how much will it cost?" ”

"It doesn't cost much." Shen Chong didn't study this, and said: "Japan's food machinery is very famous, I know a lot of people over there, why don't you inquire first?" ”

"Then you go and inquire, if it's not expensive, I'll open a factory and try it."

Tianbao rolled his eyes and said: "Mom, you do it well, and then like my sister, you will also get a listed company, when the time comes, I will have a mother of a listed company, and a sister of a listed company, you can do whatever you want."

The audience laughed, and Li Tang said a rare joke: "Your mother and your sister are not chickens, fish, meat and eggs, what kind of market are they going to?" ”

"Dead old man" Aunt Liu patted him lightly, and then said to Tianbao with a smile: "Your sister and I are not as useful as your brother-in-law even if we go on the market ten times, if you want to do whatever you want, slap him up as soon as possible, and listen to him well." ”

"Brother-in-law, come, eat a piece of bergamot ribs." Tianbao diligently served Shen Chong with vegetables and said, "Brother-in-law, I am your half-ass, you have to take good care of me in the future." ”

Shen Chong endured and endured, but he still couldn't hold back, and even squirted out the rice in his mouth when he laughed......

After dinner, Li Tang beckoned Shen Chong to his study, then took an invitation card and said: "Ah Chong, the merger of the Great Wall and Phoenix is done, and the new company intends to be officially listed on August L, this is a post inviting you to cut the ribbon." ”

It's finally done, and it's so inefficient......

Shen Chong took it and opened it to take a look, and saw that the payment on it was "Hong Kong United Pictures Co., Ltd.", so he asked: "The Great Wall and Phoenix are not ready to be used?" ”

"No need." Li Tang sat at the desk, put on reading glasses, and said: "I quarreled for more than ten days about which name to use for the new company, and finally decided to use the new name." ”

Shen Chong shook his head secretly, decades of gold-lettered signboards, say don't want it, brand awareness is too weak

In Beijing last year, Shen Chong participated in the plan to merge the Great Wall and Phoenix, but only put forward some suggestions in the general direction, as for specific matters, he did not participate in any of them, and maintained an attitude of paying attention but never interfering.

"Then who is the general manager, is it Fu Qi or Chen Jingbo?"

"No, it's Wu Zhaodi from the mainland, and Fu Qi and Chen Jingbo are deputy general managers."

Shen Chong was surprised, he was not surprised that Fu Qi and Chen Jingbo failed to become general managers, but that Wu Zhaodi was parachuted into Hong Kong to be the boss of a new film company.

Unlike last year, when he didn't know Taishan in Beijing, Shen Chong now knows the information of mainland filmmakers well, Wu Zhaodi's family history, his parents are scholars in the United States, he was born in Pittsburgh, and only returned to China when he was five years old, and has filmed classic red movies such as "Ice Sisters", "Plains Guerrillas", "Heroes' Children", and after the buzz, he served as the leader of the film review team.

It seems that after some tossing and turning, the mainland attaches much more importance to the Hong Kong film market than in his previous life.
