Chapter 1065: Double Soaring
Zhao Mingyang didn't want to offend Zhao Hongtu easily, after all, you don't know if he is a madman or not, but he can't cooperate with him, so he gave him a planning suggestion.
Zhao Hongtu is now at a crossroads, and Zhao Mingyang just pointed him in the direction, which is very important to Zhao Hongtu.
He has been wandering at this intersection for a long time, he is constantly asking for directions, some people skip it directly and do not answer, some people point him in the wrong direction, Zhao Mingyang is equivalent to telling him how to go, which way to go straight, turn left and it is almost there.
This is what Zhao Hongtu wants, and Zhao Mingyang tells him how to do it. Zhao Mingyang went back to the room and went to sleep directly, he actually saw through it, this is a competition for use value, there is nothing mysterious, it is nothing more than a division of more concentrated power.
At six o'clock the next day, Zhao Mingyang got up and took a shower, changed into the clothes they issued, combed his big back, put on glasses and went out to the restaurant for breakfast.
Yesterday, it was said that the ancestor worship ceremony started at seven o'clock in the morning, and when Zhao Mingyang arrived at about seven o'clock, there were still people who did not come one after another, in fact, it started at about eight o'clock, but he asked his family to come early, don't be late.
Of course, there are still many people who will be late or can't get up the next day, and these people are basically irrelevant.
As soon as the important core layer arrived, Zhao Mingyang and Zhao Hongtu stood on the edge on the left and right, a middle-aged man on the stage gave a speech, and the old man who sat in the seat for a while yesterday was also there, but he didn't speak much, and he was in a wheelchair today.
After the speech, the old man was pushed away by his juniors, and Zhao Mingyang also came to the stage to introduce himself, a simple introduction, no nonsense, the people in the audience just remembered Zhao Mingyang's information, Mr. Fuda, the rest was not revealed.
Zhao Mingyang was also invited to write a blessing for the new year, after all, in the eyes of many people, the teacher is equal to good writing, just like those who learn computers will repair computers.
Zhao Mingyang also understood why Wu Zhonghua asked him to practice writing at this time, just to give everyone a correct understanding.
If Zhao Mingyang is asked to mention words, Zhao Mingyang writes a bad hand, then it will disappoint everyone, and if people think that Zhao Mingyang is a university teacher, then the writing must be good.
This is also why Zhao Mingyang is asked to mention words, there may be those present who write better than Zhao Mingyang, but without the identity of a teacher, Zhao Mingyang is mixed with the identity of a scholar.
There are also scholars here, but they have not entered the inner circle, and those who have entered the inner circle are too old, so they show up and leave early, to put it bluntly, the possibility of delirium is greater.
There are also people who want to give Zhao Mingyang a chance to perform, if Zhao Mingyang writes bad words, it will be a big shame and a big shame.
Fortunately, Zhao Mingyang practiced, anyway, there is no problem in writing the words "peace and health", Zhao Mingyang wrote these four words on brush paper, because many people here pursue peace and health.
The ancestor worship ceremony lasted for more than three hours, and Zhao Hongtu had been following Zhao Mingyang for various ceremonies, which made Zhao Mingyang speechless, as if they were very familiar, and Zhao Hongtu followed Zhao Mingyang.
Zhao Hongtu's enthusiasm and performance have already made people see at a glance that he is Zhao Mingyang's person. When the ancestor worship ceremony ended, it was eating and drinking again, but this time the one sitting on the main seat was replaced by another person, and the old man before did not come because of physical reasons.
There is also a rule here, that is, if the children of the Zhao family have a wedding or funeral, everyone who can be present will try to be present as much as possible, just to have a closer relationship.
Zhao Mingyang calculated, good guy, if you play a part this year, you will get a million, which is still a little, it depends on whether others invite it or not, although they have to be present, but everyone knows that there is a sense of boundary, and they will not invite someone who has no contact.
And the money here starts at 10,000, and Zhao Mingyang's circle of people starts with 100,000, which Zhao Hongtu told Zhao Mingyang.
Sometimes a million is not enough in a year, and it may reach the level of tens of millions, so that everyone has a fixed amount of money circulating every year, so few people ask people to borrow money, which is also a potential guarantee.
How can ordinary people have so many relatives and friends to follow them, and receive gifts from others, if the other party has not had anything to do with weddings and funerals, then this gift money is a kind of relationship maintenance fee, and it is not good to do things with you, right?
Anyway, this is a very large relationship network, what Zhao Mingyang wants is this relationship network, Zhao Mingyang will try his best to do it in the future, no one will receive the gift money, who has something to do, Zhao Mingyang will contribute some money at most, if they all go to participate, 365 days a year will not be enough.
There are so many people, as long as they participate in the housework of a few core characters, but other people's, Zhao Mingyang also went to the ceremony, with a molecule, he is not short of this money, just take it as maintenance, no one can say which person has what ability tomorrow.
At the end of the ancestor worship ceremony, there was a family meeting, which talked about some family rules, family culture, and what not to do, and everyone should unite to help each other and so on.
At the end of another day, Zhao Mingyang gave a speech on stage three times, and what he said was fake and empty, he himself knew it, and the people in the audience also knew it, but the signal released was that Zhao Mingyang was in the inner circle.
A large number of people surrounded Zhao Mingyang and added WeChat, remembering Zhao Mingyang's mobile phone number, Zhao Mingyang did not refuse to come, and after adding, Zhao Hongtu invited Zhao Mingyang to dinner.
Zhao Mingyang can also see it, except for the group of people in the inner circle, the rest of the people are very taboo and awe of Zhao Hongtu, it is estimated that everyone knows what he does, so with Zhao Hongtu on the side, Zhao Mingyang is exempted from a lot of unnecessary politeness.
is also because of Zhao Hongtu, Zhao Mingyang's status here is higher, everyone knows that Zhao Mingyang is absolutely extraordinary, otherwise Zhao Hongtu would not behave like this.
Zhao Mingyang knew that Zhao Hongtu was clearly cashing in for others to see, and during the dinner party in the evening, Zhao Mingyang said directly: "Hongtu, this is boring, I have said everything I can say, and it is useless for you to follow me."
’
"Uncle Mingyang, I don't really think you have great wisdom and ability, I appreciate you, by the way, I want to ask you something, my kid and that girl are in middle school this year. I'm going to high school again, I'm trying to find a way out for my child, you can help, how can I leave a way out for the two of them, don't worry, I will do what you say. But everything, there is a case, I want to ask you one thing with a thick face, the future, I mean the future, if something happens to me, please Uncle Mingyang can you protect my family, just once. When Zhao Mingyang heard this, he knew that Zhao Hongtu was still afraid of some things, mainly because he was afraid that he would be beaten before the ten-year plan was completed.
And he has a lot of enemies, and he can't sit in this position and chat with people.
Zhao Hongtu definitely didn't say this with Zhao Mingyang alone, he must have said this to many people, he was betting on a promise, if something really happened in the future, someone would really protect his family once?
He's betting on this, what if there's someone who keeps his promise?
"I can't promise you, I don't know what will happen tomorrow, I don't want myself to go to the Hades Palace with my dishonesty, if you really want to give your child a guarantee, then you can set up a charitable fund in the name of your child to help some people in need." You must really do charity, to help the people who should be helped, it will be more effective than you ask anyone else. You are so afraid, it's just that you have too many enemies, this is an inexplicable one, unless you are always strong, unless you can make people change their opinion of you a little, but this is impossible, because what you have done, you can't fix it. Life is not a game, there is really no chance to start over, there is no right or wrong in your life, you have to start with your father, that is not necessary, it is all in the past. The only thing you have now is to let those who can easily deal with you not deal with you, you have the experience and time to protect what you can protect, this cup of tea is good, thank you for your hospitality, farewell. Zhao Mingyang got up and left, Zhao Hongtu didn't speak, Zhao Mingyang always gave him some real advice.
"Thank you, Uncle Mingyang, you will be able to use my place in the future, you speak, and I, Zhao Hongtu, will do my best to help you after all."
"Don't talk about that, at this point, if something happens, no one can help anyone, it's almost a rank, you and I can say at most that it's good to be able to protect yourself, give you one last advice." Dispel your unrealistic idea, you and I can't participate in the so-called great changes, you can live long if you don't participate, if you are still a Chinese, you have a heart to dedicate to the country, which is stronger than what you do. Zhao Hongtu looked at the back of Zhao Mingyang's departure, pondering Zhao Mingyang's words, what did they mean?
The last sentence, Zhao Hongtu was figuring out, he seemed to understand something, Zhao Mingyang was really a wise person in Zhao Hongtu's eyes, he dispelled some of his previous thoughts, it was really unrealistic, he was just a drop in the ocean in the big changes, and he really thought too much before.
Zhao Mingyang didn't want to get too close to Zhao Hongtu, Zhao Hongtu's fear was the fear accumulated by what he had done over time.
He will only grow more and more afraid, because his children are getting older, and every danger he is in danger represents the danger of his family.
Back in Shencheng, Zhao Mingyang and Ning Dongsheng had a private meal, and Ning Dongsheng and Zhao Mingyang talked about the current situation of the company.
At present, the company needs a good work to prove, because the entertainment company must eventually have the confidence to negotiate cooperation with others, and at present, their company has no good film and television works, no good music works, and the company must have some money to invest in the work.
But now it's hard to find good works, and I'm afraid that it will become a bad movie. Zhao Mingyang probably understands what Ning Dongsheng means, that is, Ning Dongsheng wants to make Daotian Entertainment listed, but he has been unable to raise the stock price by relying on traffic, and only with the guarantee of works, such as shooting several good works in a row, shareholders will have confidence in Daotian Entertainment.
After the entertainment company goes public, it relies on the blessing of stars and works, and they have stars, but they don't have works.
Zhao Mingyang suddenly thought of something, and thought of a TV series he watched in his previous life, that TV series was a hit, and the reason why it was a hit was that many people may not know one thing, that work has a team of Hong Kong Entertainment, such as camera, soundtrack, etc.
Therefore, many scenes and plots are cool for everyone to watch, the reason is that there is the shadow of Hong Kong films, and Hong Kong film directors have rarely made movies on Hong Kong Island in recent years, and they have all gone to the mainland to shoot.
But there is one thing that cannot be avoided, Hong Kong Island films have a classification system, so the scale of creation will be larger, and there is currently no classification system for domestic films, so the scale of creation must be biased towards family carnival, suitable for all ages.
Therefore, when many Hong Kong Island directors go to the mainland to shoot films, it is easy to hit the streets, and the review may be very sad, and the filming is nondescript.
If you make a pure Hong Kong film, it is difficult to have a mainland market, this is no joke, because everyone used to watch the pirated version of the uncut version or the genuine version bought by the platform, and I didn't think about these at that time, but later Hong Kong films encountered this problem, the Hong Kong version was uncut, and it was edited when it was released in the mainland, which made people confused, but the plot was not right.
Now many platforms can't watch all the previous Hong Kong films, and many of them have been deleted. So a group of Hong Kong film directors filmed directly in the mainland, according to the mainland's review standards, and gave up the Hong Kong island market, the main Hong Kong island market is indeed too small, a movie has a good box office of tens of millions, and the domestic market is billions of dollars, so they want a larger market to get more income.
But there is a big problem with this, that is, the probability of bad movies is very high, the story is not good enough, and the director cannot judge the preferences of mainland audiences and the review scale.
And the mainland market still needs mainland directors to make relatively good works. is mainly the growth background, this is the innate advantage, which can exclude movies that are more likely to resonate with mainlanders, and know more about the scale of review.
Therefore, Ning Dongsheng is stuck in this link, and the directorships that can be ranked in the mainland are full, usually three or five years later.
Zhao Mingyang thought about it and felt that he was fine, so it was better to do something interesting.
"You wait for me, I'm going to get a script out and give me a few days." Zhao Mingyang left after speaking.
After he went back, he really went to polish the script of a movie, a three-hour movie, which can make more than three movies.
Zhao Mingyang named this script [Shuangbiao], and a few days later, he showed the first draft of this script to Ning Dongsheng.
Ning Dongsheng thought at first that Zhao Mingyang was joking, or a whim, but he didn't really expect anything.
But when he saw the script, he was completely immersed in the plot after reading it for a while, and the plot was so good.
Shuangbiao tells the story of Hong Kong Island in the late 80s of the last century, when Hong Kong Island had not yet returned, which can be more suitable for the mainland's audit standards.
The main story tells the story of how Liu Huaqiang, a small man who made a living selling fish on Hong Kong Island in the last century, became the emperor of Kowloon on Hong Kong Island step by step.
Ning Dongsheng likes this story too much, there are too many highlights on Liu Huaqiang, such as how he was forced to change step by step, he was originally a fish stall seller, and he relied on selling fish to support his younger brothers and sisters to study, and his younger brothers and sisters are also angry, his younger brother Liu Huasheng was admitted to Hong Kong University, and his sister Liu Hualan was also admitted to City University.
Originally, the family's life was running towards the rising sun, but on Chinese New Year's Eve in 88, all this changed.
At the end of 88, Zhang Xiaolong, the administrator of the Kowloon vegetable market, and Zhang Xiaohu, the brothers, led a group of people to inspect the vegetable market as usual, and told Liu Huaqiang that they would re-draw lots to allocate stalls after the year.
This stall is the lifeblood of the whole family for Liu Huaqiang, if there is no stall, what will happen to the tuition fees of the younger brothers and sisters?
He can't lose this stall, Zhang Xiaolong's younger brother Zhang Xiaohu gave Liu Huaqiang a hint, Big Brother, that's right, it's Big Brother, listed on Hong Kong Island in 87, that is a symbol of wealth and status, as long as you buy a Big Brother for Zhang Xiaolong, then this stall still belongs to Liu Huaqiang.
Liu Huaqiang understood that this was blackmail, and he was asking him for a benefit fee, these two people still grew up with him, they used to be neighbors, and they usually beat them less, but they are still like this, and for the first time, Liu Huaqiang knows what right to speak at the bottom.
He went to the mall to see the price of Big Brother, which he couldn't afford, he couldn't afford it, it was too expensive, and he might have to throw all the savings he had accumulated for many years into it, and ask someone to borrow money to buy it.
After thinking about it, he finally bought Zhang Xiaolong a BB machine, which was not too expensive, and it was economical to use.
As a result, Liu Huaqiang took the newly bought BB machine and gave it to Zhang Xiaohu, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, Liu Huaqiang bought some watermelons with some seafood and went to Zhang Xiaolong to ask about the stall, and Zhang Xiaolong never replied.
When he arrived at Zhang Xiaolong's house, a room full of people was playing mahjong, Liu Huaqiang saw the eldest brother in front of Zhang Xiaolong, he felt a little wrong, asked about the stall, and was sneered at by the Zhang brothers for a while, and let him die of this heart, and the stall could not be given to him.
Liu Huaqiang wanted to get his BB machine back, Zhang Xiaohu gave it to him, but his hand slipped and accidentally fell, and the machine was directly broken.
Liu Huaqiang's emotions could no longer be suppressed for a moment, he swung his fist at Zhang Xiaohu, and was beaten by a group of people in the house.
This group of people also called the police and said that Liu Huaqiang had burgled and robbed, that is, this night Liu Huaqiang met his noble Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei is an ordinary detective, no money and no background, he came up step by step by himself, when he learned what happened to Liu Huaqiang, he had mixed feelings in his heart, because he knew this feeling, he had been like this, he could have stood taller, but because he refused a girl's pursuit, he was arranged to be a small agent in this place.
Qi Tongwei knew that Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu dared to be lawless by relying on the background of Detective General Xu Liangping, collecting protection money in that area, and finally handing it over to Xu Liangping.
And behind Xu Liangping is the group of Brits, who are simply insatiable, which makes the entire Hong Kong Island people angry.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Liu Huasheng and Liu Hualan were waiting for their eldest brother at the gate of the police station, and this night Qi Tongwei and Liu Huaqiang's family met, making the young and ignorant Liu Hualan fall in love at a glance, and she fell in love with this humane agent Qi Tongwei.
When leaving, Qi Tongwei told Liu Huaqiang to read more, and gave him two books, one on the Art of War and one on Thirty-six Strategies, which eventually made Liu Huaqiang the Emperor of Kowloon.
······ Ning Dongsheng felt that Shuangbiao was better known as the story of Shuangxiong, Liu Huaqiang became the story of the Kowloon Emperor from a small fishmonger, and Qi Tongwei became a story from a small detective to a Chinese detective.
This story is very interesting, very storytelling, and very suitable for adaptation to the big screen, especially the story line of the three brothers and sisters of the Liu family, Liu Hualan eventually became the queen of Mong Kok, Liu Huasheng finally went to self-destruction, even Xiaolong Xiaohu is very vivid, such a script is too good.
Ning Dongsheng especially likes the role of sister-in-law, and the role of Liu Shuting is really difficult not to like.
If this is made into a movie, it can be made into three parts, each of which can be shot for three hours, and it can be said that there are no urine spots in the whole process.
This drama can just show what the situation was like on Hong Kong Island at that time, which is very suitable for filming.
"Mr. Zhao, is it better to change Liu Huaqiang's name?" Ning Dongsheng said.
"Then let's change the name to Gao Huaqiang, how about this script? I think Meng Xiaoxian is suitable for playing Liu Shuting. Everyone else in the company can use it, find Du Qifeng as a director, he is very good at shooting this kind of style. The male protagonist let Wu Zhengyu and Liang Jiahui, they are responsible for acting. Zhao Mingyang said.
