Reborn in Hong Kong: The Kung Fu Movie Star's Additional Training

Chapter 67 If you don’t make money, who will give you face?

"Leisheng?"

Luo Wei was like a furious lion at this time, and he paused suddenly when he heard the name.

Lei Sheng is Lei Juekkun, a famous rich man in Hong Kong, the main representative of the Lei family, and the director of the Kowloon Bus Company.

The main asset of the Lei family comes from the monopoly of the Kowloon Bus Company since the 30s. At that time, such power was indispensable because of the gang background.

Lei Juekun's identity is mainly the major shareholder of real estate companies Kowloon Construction and Kowloon Bus, with a property valuation of more than HK$20 billion.

The movie theater chain is just a fun investment for him, but the theaters owned by Golden Princess Company, including Roxy, Lydia, Kaisheng, and Jin Hongji, are enough to compete with Shaw Brothers Golden Harvest.

This person is exactly the person Luo Wei, who has always been arrogant, does not want to offend.

Luo Wei was originally the main director of Shaw Brothers, but later turned his back and followed Zou Wenhuai to Jiahe, where he became his most effective general.

Therefore, his relationship with Shaw Brothers was very awkward, and he had no say in negotiating theater conditions.

His old club, Jiahe, had actually already distanced himself from Zou Wenhuai due to the quarrel with Bruce Lee. Coupled with the rise of Xu Guanwen's comedies, he had already lost his previous status.

Therefore, Luo Wei pinned all his hopes on the box office of "The Boxer" movie on the Golden Princess Cinemas.

Now the big boss Lei Sheng has spoken, which makes him quite uncomfortable.

Luo Wei stared and said angrily: "Hu Zhicai, Princess Jin doesn't even give me, Luo Wei, face?"

Lao Hu on the other end of the phone replied without mercy: "I'm sorry, Director Luo, this is not a matter of face. We can only listen to the big boss's words."

"Besides, judging from the current box office results, we can't refute Lei Sheng."

Luo Wei was at a loss for words.

Luo Wei didn't know that Lei Juekun was not long after playing golf with his literary friend Jin Yong.

Arty tycoons always feel that everything they say about their literary idols makes sense.

Another important reason is that the Golden Princess Cinemas is only responsible for showing movies and does not have the ability to produce movies. Therefore, the commercial value of the box office market has always been used as a reference.

Poor quality movies are a waste of time, and good quality movies are often a bottleneck.

Lei Juekun has already planned to find young film elites to build his own film production company.

……

"Only when movies make money can you gain face. Otherwise, who will give you face?"

"You think so, Director Luo Da?" Mr. Lin on the side added without saltiness.

He didn't care at all about Rowena's increasingly pale face.

……

With the performance of "Drunken Master", it became popular every day, winning word-of-mouth and popularity.

Major theaters such as Shaw Brothers Golden Harvest and Golden Princess have all released "Drunken Master" simultaneously.

As one goes, the theater schedule of "The Boxer" has been significantly reduced.

Due to Lowe's competitiveness, arrogance and blind confidence, this "Fighter" was released in a hurry and the quality of the film is low.

After a round of fighting with "Drunken Master", his decline was immediately revealed.

……

Headquarters of Golden Harvest Film Company, Ax Hill Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong Island.

Witnessed by the eager eyes of Jiahe Chairman Zou Wenhuai and his partner He Guanchang.

Chen Fei signed a cooperation agreement in the chairman's office.

He signed a film contract with Siyuan Pictures. Now that the cooperation is completed, he has returned to his free agency.

And the box office results of that movie can already predict that it will definitely make money.

Now, with the help of Golden Harvest's strong strength, Chen Fei's second movie will surely reach the top.

"Welcome to Jiahe!" Zou Wenhuai extended his hand to Chen Fei cordially.

Chen Fei stretched out his hands and shook hands with Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang respectfully.

He said confidently: "I will soon show you the plan and script of the new movie." Zou Wenhuai smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, I'll wait for your mature plan."

It was the first time that He Guanchang met Chen Fei face to face, and he secretly admired Zou Wenhuai's discerning eye for people.

Starting from Bruce Lee, Zou Wenhuai's vision of people has never let him down.

This time, there will be no exception.

……

In the next few days, Chen Fei did two things first.

The first thing I did was buy a very low-key Porsche sports car.

It's so low-key that Aguang and Dachuan's eyes are filled with stars and their mouths are watering when they see it.

The second thing is to buy two -square-foot luxury homes in prime locations.

There is a house in Causeway Bay for my parents to live in, and a house in Clear Water Bay for myself to live in, making it convenient to travel to and from the Golden Harvest studio for work.

He drove a Porsche sports car and picked up his parents from Morning Village, Yuen Long, to Causeway Bay to see their new house.

The bright decoration style, fashionable home decoration, and bright natural light illuminate the happy eyes of father and mother Chen.

"Do you like it?" Chen Fei asked the two amiable old people in front of him softly.

"I like it. Both your parents like it." Chen's mother showed a warm smile.

Dad Chen said: "My mother and I are used to living in the suburbs. In fact, it doesn't matter where we live. The most important thing is to see you grow."

He seemed to speak lightly, but his expression was full of relief.

What they want is not a mansion, but their son's determination to achieve self-fulfillment.

Chen Fei smiled and said: "My son has made money, this is the first small gesture."

"After these few days of busy work are over, I will arrange to send my parents to the United States for treatment and recuperation immediately to recover their health."

Dad Chen shook his head repeatedly: "No, you don't have to run so far across the ocean."

Chen Fei said patiently: "The medical technology over there is still much better."

Chen's mother advised Chen's father: "My son is also thinking about your health and wants to get it right in one step."

Chen's father nodded: "That's fine, how about it, first go to the Hong Kong hospital for a comprehensive investigation before making a decision."

Chen Fei nodded obediently.

……

Gu Long stayed in Donghua Hospital for five days. It was more uncomfortable than killing him, and he clamored to be discharged every day.

Later, I went through the formalities and was sent to Ni Kuang's home to stay temporarily.

They only waited for Wang Xu to be discharged from the hospital in two days, and then they met and returned to Treasure Island together.

Gu Long had just recovered from his condition, but he threw all the doctor's orders into the Pacific Ocean. On the first day after being discharged from the hospital, he, Ni Kuang and others started drinking hard again.

As soon as I drank, I thought of the bold and heroic Chen Fei again, and immediately called Chen Fei to invite him to go to the carnival with me.

When Chen Fei arrived, Gu Long and Ni Kuang Huang Zhan were already tipsy.

A few gourmet foodies set up a charcoal stove and grilled oysters on it.

When the oysters are roasted until they are sizzling and smoking, squeeze the lemon juice on them and the aroma will instantly overflow.

Just drink whiskey mixed with orange juice, one bite at a time, and enjoy it.

Five or six bottles of single malt whiskey were consumed in no time.

As soon as Gu Long saw Chen Fei, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Come on, come on, Chen Fei. Let me tell you, I have been in the hospital these days and wrote you into a novel."

He grabbed Chen Fei and shouted happily.

　A guest came today and all plans were disrupted, so I’ll just update one chapter and make up for it tomorrow.
