Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Although they did not admit that He Yuzhu said those words, Yi Zhonghai and the other two had to admit that those words expressed their true feelings.

In the following days, the people in the courtyard noticed that the three old men were acting like they had gone mad, constantly saying, "I haven't been an old man for a long time."

What others didn't know was that Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui were secretly rummaging through their homes, searching for antiques.

Yan Bugui's family were small business owners; before the liberation of Beijing, they had considerable assets.

Although he was bad at business and squandered his family fortune, he still left behind a considerable amount of wealth.

These things couldn't fetch a good price at the time, so he moved them all to the courtyard house.

In the past few days, Yan Bugui has found all those things and is studying which ones are valuable.

Yi Zhonghai's family fortune before liberation was not as good as Yan Bugui's, but he had an advantage.

When the deaf old lady went to the nursing home, he helped her pack up all her belongings.

Qin Huairu sold some things, but some things were not sold.

When he visited the deaf old lady at the nursing home, she whispered a few words to him, saying that those things were all good things.

At that time, there was a movement going on, and people were smashing and destroying things outside. Yi Zhonghai didn't dare to take them out and could only hide them secretly.

Although they found the items, neither of them knew how much they were worth, so they could only continue to hide them.

Qin Huairu had been having a fight with Yi Zhonghai these past two days and hadn't entered Yi Zhonghai's house, so she was unaware that Yi Zhonghai had started collecting antiques.

In Hong Kong, Ho Yu-chu is preparing a celebration banquet for "A Better Tomorrow".

Thanks to the Sotheby's event, A Better Tomorrow's box office reached HK$50 million.

It's more than ten million Hong Kong dollars more than the original timeline.

Therefore, He Yuzhu was particularly generous this time, giving a large red envelope to everyone in the company.

Inside the meeting room, after discussing the celebration banquet, they began to discuss the second part.

He Yuzhu has already read the script for the second part, and it's basically as good as nonexistent.

Especially in the part about the United States, even a general outline is still ambiguous.

"This is the script you guys came up with?"

Several people also felt a little embarrassed.

He Yuzhu was given money and manpower when he asked for them, but what they offered was something even he himself was not satisfied with.

Director Wu said somewhat apologetically, "Mr. He, we will revise it again carefully."

He Yuzhu flipped through the script and asked, "Do you know how I felt after reading the script?"

Director Wu, and Lao Xu, who had been brought over by Director Wu to help, all looked up and stared at He Yuzhu, wanting to know He Yuzhu's opinion.

He Yuzhu didn't hold back and gave it a terrible review.

This isn't because He Yuzhu is overly demanding; in fact, it is.

The original, A Better Tomorrow 2, is indeed much worse than the first one.

Some believe that this movie is a poor sequel to the first film, intended only to rake in box office revenue.

However, He Yuzhu did not think so.

Judging from the first half of the movie alone, it is indeed a bad film.

It wasn't until Leslie Cheung's character died in the later part of the film and Sung Chi-ho's acting skills began to shine that the movie was elevated to the top tier of Hong Kong films.

At this point, He Yuzhu received the script, but it was only the first half, and it was still an unfinished first half.

He simply couldn't give a better evaluation.

The group was surprised by how low He Yuzhu's evaluation was.

"Mr. He..."

What? You think my assessment is wrong?

They simply couldn't refute He Yuzhu's words.

They knew much more about the script than He Yuzhu did.

He Yuzhu didn't make things difficult for them; instead, he gave them some hints based on the movie.

After giving the suggestion, He Yuzhu said, "This is just a small suggestion of mine."

As you know, the company is newly established. A Better Tomorrow is the company's first film.

I hope the film will promote the company's brand, rather than become a tool for making money.

At this point, the group no longer cared what He Yuzhu was saying.

They all had pens in their hands and were writing and drawing in their notebooks.

He Yuzhu's explanation was simple, but it gave them a lot of ideas and solved the problem that had been bothering them. The two of them took He Yuzhu's hints and figured out the outline of the script.

However, due to their differing views, the two developed different approaches when handling the plot.

The two even argued about it.

He Yuzhu didn't disturb the two of them and left the conference room with the others.

They went to Zhou Zhixiong's office and sat down.

He Yuzhu turned to Zhou Zhixiong and asked, "I heard someone is causing trouble for the company's artists?"

This matter was discussed between Zhu Zhenjun, a security company employee, and He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu knew that the Hong Kong entertainment industry was not clean and did not want the company's artists to be forced.

Of course, He Yuzhu wouldn't interfere with those who did it voluntarily.

A couple of days ago, one of the company's female artists was harassed, and the security company handled the situation.

Zhou Zhixiong quickly explained, "I've already investigated. It was just a few petty thugs who didn't know their place."

No one is deliberately causing trouble.

He Yuzhu was taken aback, somewhat disbelieving the idea.

Although he doesn't handle the day-to-day affairs of the film and television company, the security company is responsible for its safety.

What was Zhu Zhenjun's background, and what were the backgrounds of his subordinates?

The security company conducted a private investigation and discovered that some people were secretly targeting the film and television company.

Now Zhou Zhixiong tells He Yuzhu that it was just a few thugs who did it, how can He Yuzhu believe that?

He Yuzhu trusted Zhu Zhenjun more than Zhou Zhixiong.

"you sure?"

Zhou Zhixiong knew He Yuzhu didn't believe it, and initially he didn't either. He was a veteran in the film industry and knew all too well the tricks and methods used there.

But the truth is, after the incident, someone came to apologize to him.

He investigated and confirmed the matter.

"Originally, Yong Sheng wanted to take action; those thugs were hired by them."

However, after hearing about your activities at the golf course, I stopped.

Those few thugs, they drank too much and ran into people from our company, so they acted recklessly.

Yesterday, they came to me in person, explained the situation, and wanted to apologize to you in person.

I was just about to tell you.

He Yuzhu thought about it for a moment and then understood what was going on.

People in the film industry may seem important to ordinary people, but in front of the truly wealthy, they're nothing but a fart.

He Yuzhu can handle the textile industry; it would be strange if they dared to cause him trouble.

Since they were willing to shake hands and make peace, He Yuzhu didn't bother to argue.

As for meeting, it would be good to meet. The next ten years will be Hong Kong's golden age, with plenty of ways to make money; there's no need to make enemies everywhere.

How many female artists has the company signed?

"The company doesn't have many signed artists, only five in total. They are mainly doing minor roles outside of work right now."

He Yuzhu nodded and took out two scripts from his bag, neither of which had the movie title written on them.

Both of these scripts are destined to become classic American films.

One is Terminator 2, which features a male protagonist, and the other is Tomb Raider, which features a female protagonist.

Hong Kong films are still too limited; they don't make as much money as Hollywood films.

"Take a look at these two scripts."

Zhou Zhixiong took it and looked at it for a few moments, then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Mr. He, this..."

He Yuzhu said, "This is a script I had someone write. Don't ask about anything else. You arrange for someone to improve the script."

Once everything is ready, we can initiate the project.

After thinking about it, He Yuzhu took back the Terminator 2 movie.

The company is not suitable to make this movie. (End of Chapter)
