Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

The bus stopped in front of the hotel, and Zhou Zhixiong and his men came to greet them.

Before he could speak, Lou Xingcheng's shouts came from the side.

"Xiao'e, tell the security guards to let us go."

He Yuzhu turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with a large belly waving his hand incessantly.

Beside him were several other people, some of whom bore a resemblance to him.

Lou Xingcheng saw He Yuzhu and Xu Damao and immediately shouted, "Zhuzi, Damao, it's me!"

Back in Beijing, both He Yuzhu and Xu Damao had met Lou Xingcheng.

Lou Xiao'e whispered, "The person next to him is my brother in Hong Kong. You don't need to pay attention to them."

I'll handle it.

He Yuzhu knew he couldn't interfere in this matter: "Then you take the security guards. Zhenjun, you protect Xiao'e."

Zhu Zhenjun nodded and, accompanied by several security guards, followed Lou Xiao'e.

Zhu Zhenjun was the person in charge of He Yuzhu's security company in Hong Kong.

Zhou Zhixiong, the head of the film company, had heard of He Yuzhu's name but had never met him.

He had followed Lou Xiao'e for a long time and knew some things about He Yuzhu.

Zhou Zhixiong was quite nervous about He Yuzhu, this mysterious big boss.

"Mr. He."

He Yuzhu noticed his nervousness and said with a smile, "I've heard Xiao'e say that you're very capable. You deserve a lot of credit for the successful filming of the movie."

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Zhou Zhixiong felt much more at ease.

"Mr. He, you flatter me. Let me introduce you to these gentlemen..."

He Yuzhu interrupted him with a smile: "Don't say anything yet. Let me guess. This is Director Wu Dao, right?"

John Woo quickly stepped forward to shake hands with Ho Yu-chu. He didn't know much about Ho Yu-chu, but he knew that Ho Yu-chu had recommended him, which was why Lou's Film Company had approached him.

The next few actors need no introduction. They haven't reached their peak of fame yet, but they are already quite well-known actors in Hong Kong.

He Yuzhu also indulged in his past life's obsession with idol worship. However, no one could tell that.

He's the boss now, but he still needs to maintain a certain level of mystery.

Xu Damao was much more excited than He Yuzhu. Film was his forte, and he had a great interest in it.

Xu Damao held the actress's hand and asked her about the details of filming the movie.

In the end, Xu Zhenbao pulled him aside.

Lou Xiao'e also drove away the Lou family members. After she returned, the party officially began.

Before starting, He Yuzhu said a few words, mostly polite remarks.

When it came to the movie, He Yuzhu only said a few words of substance: "I've read the movie script and also learned some things about the filming from your General Manager Lou."

I have high hopes for this movie. I think it has the potential to become the highest-grossing film in Hong Kong this year.

He Yuzhu's assertion truly startled everyone present.

It's worth noting that the film's main actors are currently in difficult circumstances.

Ti Lung was laid off and hadn't had any films to shoot for a long time; Chow Yun-fat was a notorious box office poison, and Wing Gor was just a newcomer.

They're not the worst off; the worst off is director John Woo.

In 1983, when making a movie, I took Da Congming's idea and used real guns and bullets to shoot the movie.

As a result, an accident occurred, and he was fired immediately.

Even now, there are still quite a few people who don't have a high opinion of the movie they made.

During the introductions, the group looked nervous and didn't dare to say more than a few words to He Yuzhu.

Several people showed excitement in their eyes when they heard He Yuzhu's affirmation.

He Yuzhu himself was a newcomer in the film industry. He knew that no matter how much he said, no one would believe him.

He said directly, "I know you don't believe me, but let's wait until the movie is released and then everyone can verify whether what I said is true or false."

Everyone gave He Yuzhu, the boss, face and smiled.

He Yuzhu wasn't familiar with the people here, and they were all hesitant to be around.

So after staying there for a while, He Yuzhu went to the room next door.

Zhou Zhixiong led Director Wu in, both of them looking hesitant. "Mr. He, why don't you watch a movie?"

He Yuzhu asked with a smile, "What, you don't have confidence in the movie you made?"

Director Wu was indeed not very confident. It is said that during the test screening of the film, he secretly went to the back of the audience and watched the whole thing before he was completely reassured.

He's probably still feeling uneasy since there hasn't been a test screening yet.

"Mr. He, I heard that the company has spent a lot of money to release the film directly."

I think we should have a test screening and see how it goes before making a decision.

He Yuzhu shook his head: "You don't need to think about it. Everything is according to my plan."

I've already prepared the bonuses for the celebration banquet, so what are you afraid of?

It doesn't matter if this movie flops, we'll just make another one.

I have high hopes for people like you.

It was clear that the group still lacked confidence.

He Yuzhu was too lazy to explain to them; everything would be resolved once the movie was released.

After the two left, Lou Xiao'e and the others came in.

Lou Xiao'e said, "You shouldn't have said that. If the movie fails, you'll become a laughing stock in Hong Kong."

He Yuzhu laughed: "There's a saying that goes, 'The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.'"

You need to understand that we are newcomers to the film industry.

You should know better than I what newcomers go through.

To gain a foothold in the film industry, you can't use those conventional methods.

I did it on purpose today.

"Once the movie becomes a box office hit, we'll be able to establish ourselves in the film industry."

Lou Xiao'e said thoughtfully, "That's true, but you haven't even read the movie script, and you don't know what it's about. Where do you get your confidence?"

Xu Damao was taken aback: "Didn't you just say you had read the movie script?"

"Are you crazy? You only know the name and you dare to say the movie will top the Hong Kong box office?"

He Yuzhu said confidently, "If I say I can, then I definitely can."

He thought it was confidence, but others thought it was arrogance.

I've never heard of anyone predicting a movie will be a box office champion just because they know its title.

He Yuzhu was too lazy to explain and told them to wait and see.

Lou Xiao'e was worried, so the next day she brought the movie to the villa and let He Yuzhu watch it there.

He Yuzhu said directly, "I don't want to watch it. If I want to watch it, I'll go to the cinema."

He genuinely didn't watch it; he planned to watch it in the cinema.

However, Xu Damao and the others did take a look.

Xu Damao personally showed the movie to everyone.

He Yuzhu strongly suspected that he was trying to show off Xu Zhenbao's film-making skills.

Xu Damao has always regretted that he was unable to show his daughter a movie.

Now that he finally had the chance, how could he possibly miss it?

A few people just watched for fun, and after they finished watching, no one dared to guarantee the box office.

On the day the movie was released, He Yuzhu went to one of the cinemas.

Xu Damao pointed to a person whose face was covered and said, "Isn't that Director Wu?"

He Yuzhu took one look and sure enough, it was him. The group then went up to him.

Director Wu looked somewhat embarrassed when he saw He Yuzhu: "Mr. He."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "You're here too. Since you're here, let's go take a look together."

Director Wu wanted to buy the last tickets, but He Yuzhu refused and bought the best seats instead.

"I believe this movie will be a huge hit. You should start thinking about how to make a sequel." (End of Chapter)
