Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 1858 Commentary
Lou Xiao'e and the others were still at home discussing the strange events at the auction.

This incident has been making headlines for several days and has become the biggest news in Hong Kong.

News media from all countries sent reporters to cover the event.

As the instigator of this incident, He Yuzhu turned his attention elsewhere.

The official newspapers were all reporting on this event, even some entertainment newspapers were covering it.

He Yuzhu is worried that this will affect the box office of "A Better Tomorrow".

It's not just about money, it's also about winning awards. If he remembers correctly, the movie "A Better Tomorrow" won several awards.

The phone rang; it was Zhou Zhixiong calling. He Yuzhu pressed the speakerphone button.

"Mr. Zhou, how's the movie's box office performance?"

Zhou Zhixiong has been monitoring this matter for the past two days.

A Better Tomorrow was the first film produced by the film company.

The movie is doing very well and is a box office hit.

Zhou Zhixiong hates Sotheby's even more than He Yuzhu for suddenly stealing his headline.

After investigating and learning about the box office situation, Zhou Zhixiong began to feel grateful to Sotheby's again.

This incident involving Sotheby's has become widely known.

Many people became interested in this kind of exciting thing.

Then many people watched the movie A Better Tomorrow two or even three times.

The screenings of the movie "A Better Tomorrow" have now increased by another 5%.

Movie tickets are still in short supply.

Many cinemas are making adjustments in order to continue increasing box office revenue.

"Mr. He, there's no problem with the film's box office performance. I'm confident that this film will become the highest-grossing film of the year."

He Yuzhu was relieved. As long as it didn't interfere with his earning money, that was fine.

This also served as a reminder to him that he shouldn't make such a big fuss in the future.

He wasn't afraid of being found out; if things got out of hand, these things would just have to stay in his space forever.

Next time, he'll sneak into the village, without firing a shot.

"Great! Once the box office results are in, the company will definitely give you a big bonus."

Zhou Zhixiong also became happy. As a working-class person, isn't the most basic thought to earn more money?

"Mr. He, many film companies are now approaching our actors to star in movies."

You see…

He Yuzhu didn't care about any of that and simply said, "You can handle these things yourself."

Professional matters should be left to professionals.

Although He Yuzhu knew the works that made his actors famous, he did not force them to pursue their careers.

The film industry is rife with conflicts of interest. Lou's Films' entry into the film industry is bound to encroach on the interests of other companies.

Some scripts might not be given to these few actors.

This is inevitable.

What He Yuzhu can guarantee is that the signature works of a few of his artists won't be stolen. Beyond that, he can't guarantee anything else.

He couldn't possibly rely on his memories from his past life to snatch all the good scripts.

If he were to do that, he would become a public enemy.

He Yuzhu instructed Zhou Zhixiong: "I have only one request: ensure that the artists under our management are not bullied."

We don't provoke trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either.

Zhou Zhixiong readily agreed. He had the confidence to do so.

With connections in the legitimate world and Jing'an Security Company in the underworld, no one dares to easily target the actors under Lou's Film Company.

In the beginning, some people did want to test the limits of Lou's Film Company.

However, the people from Jing'an Company took action and swiftly eliminated those people. Although everyone knows who did it, the Hong Kong police have yet to find any evidence.

This incident served as a warning to others, deterring them from resorting to underhanded tactics.

Without these threats, the company's artists felt much more at ease. The female artists, in particular, felt an even stronger sense of belonging to the company.

After hanging up the phone, Lou Xiao'e said, "Zhou Zhixiong just asked you what movie you're going to film next, and you just made excuses."

"Didn't I say? Leave professional matters to professionals."

I only know a few people in the Hong Kong film industry, what am I supposed to say?

Lou Xiao'e pouted: "I think you're just hiding it."

"I don't care. The film company is running according to your ideas; you can't just wash your hands of it."

He Yuzhu was speechless: "What do you mean by doing it my way? I just mentioned it briefly, but you insisted on doing it."

Lou Xiao'e turned to look at Lin Jinghan: "Listen to what he's saying."

If he hadn't said that making movies could make money, would I have been able to start this film company?

"Jinghan, you be the judge."

BJ
Tang Yanling also approached her two daughters, asking them to help judge the matter.

The two best friends felt much better after hearing Tang Yanling's words.

The thought of Tang Yanling marrying Bang Geng and getting a job at Chaoyang Hotel filled them with envy.

The two even secretly plotted to steal Tang Yanling's boyfriend and marry Bang Geng themselves.

Unfortunately, Bang Geng was like a simpleton, fixated on Tang Yanling.

Hearing that Tang Yanling had been deceived, the two of them felt a secret sense of smug satisfaction.

"Yanling, I've actually wanted to tell you this for a while. The owner of Chaoyang Restaurant has such a big business. If Banggeng had a good relationship with his family, they would have arranged a job for him long ago."

"Yes, I had that same suspicion at the time."

Tang Yanling glared at her two best friends with displeasure. These two hadn't said that before she got married.

Ever since that day when I went to Chaoyang Restaurant for dinner, I heard that Banggeng knew the owner of Chaoyang Restaurant.

These two people said a lot of nice things about Bang Geng. They even flirted with Bang Geng behind her back.

"Are you two playing the hindsight game here? If you had doubts, why didn't you say so before my wedding?"

"Now that you've told me, I can ask Bang Geng properly."

The two exchanged a glance, unsure how to explain. When they heard that Bang Geng knew wealthy people, their minds were filled with thoughts of how to take advantage of him.

If Bang Geng hadn't been so determined to marry Tang Yanling, the two of them might have already slept together.

At this moment, the two were also glad that Bang Geng's thoughts were on Tang Yanling, otherwise they would have been the ones to be laughed at.

"It's not really our fault. Who would have thought that Bang Geng's family would be so bad at interpersonal relationships and end up having such a bad relationship with their neighbors?"

"Who says otherwise? It's normal to have conflicts with your neighbors. But it's rare for it to escalate to this level. You visited a few times before you got married, and didn't you notice anything at all?"

Tang Yanling thought back and realized that it wasn't that she hadn't noticed, but rather that she hadn't paid attention to it at the time.

She visited the Jia family a few times, but most of the neighbors in the courtyard simply greeted her and said nothing else.

Every time he entered the courtyard house, he would be stopped by Yan Bugui and his wife, and then taken to the Jia family.

It seems she doesn't have the opportunity to chat with her neighbors alone.

At the time, she thought the Jia family valued her and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Upon closer examination, it becomes clear that there are significant problems involved.

It seems she hasn't had much contact with the MCA members. Those MCA members usually have to work and aren't in the compound, so it's normal that they don't have much contact or conversation.

But Li Dagen and his wife were different. They lived in the courtyard house, but they weren't very enthusiastic when they saw her.

Unlike her second and third aunts, who would surround her and ask her all sorts of questions whenever they saw her.

Thinking about this, Tang Yanling regretted it. She should have asked around more and shouldn't have believed what her second and third aunts said.
