Hong Kong General: Hongxing 49 Zai, step on Liang Kun to get a job

"Let's not talk about the film and television industry for now. What price have I paid? What kind of support have I given to get this film approved and to make Hong Kong Island more vibrant?"

Zhou Shengpeng always believed that there would be people who would turn against him, but he didn't expect these guys to turn against him so quickly!

He's acting so shamelessly before the thing in his hand has even warmed up yet. If this continues, what will happen?

If you compromise this time, they will get worse next time!

You will never be able to take the initiative in the future, and any second-rate person can pose a threat to you. It is better not to have such a partner.

The worst that can happen is that both sides will be destroyed and they will have to develop abroad.

Things in the club have just stabilized. If I leave, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble.

"No one knows this better than you. If you're planning to turn your back on me now, I can withdraw all my funds. However, is this really what you want? I advise you to think it over carefully!"

"Mr. Zhou, please don't get excited or anxious. We don't have any other intentions. We are just unsure about the film's quality and some other things, whether it can be released in Hong Kong Island."

"So for you, this may be a breakthrough for a movie, but for us, there are many things to consider. If you insist on saying something, then there's nothing I can do about it!"

The guys had communicated with each other beforehand and knew that if Zhou Shengpeng reacted strongly, the matter would be dropped.

But if Zhou Shengpeng's reaction is average, of course we have to take this opportunity to pry more things out of Zhou Shengpeng.

But it was obvious that their little calculations were not well thought out, and they did not expect Zhou Shengpeng to be so angry.

After all, many people knew before: Even if Zhou Shengpeng did things in an extreme way, he still abided by the rules. It’s just that this time something seemed to be different.

"As long as everything is fine and we cooperate with each other, there will naturally be no problem. But if the opposite happens and you are provoked and we can't live in peace, then this business will fail."

"Without my support for your next big project, infrastructure construction, who do you think will be willing to help?"

It is true that businessmen are indeed afraid of officials, but at present, there are more than one official.

They are eager to snatch away a hot commodity like Zhou Shengpeng and hope that others will not care about him.

In a sense, Zhou Shengpeng is a rare commodity. He has the capital and the need to negotiate terms.

This time, it is impossible to agree to someone casually. Doing so will only bring harm to yourself and no benefit.

In the future, you will leave people with the impression that you are easy to bully, and this impression will be hard to get rid of.

As for the remaining guys, their purpose is very clear, they just want to make a fortune.

It just didn’t work!

Then the matter regarding the new movie must be approved by default. If it is not approved, it will be a huge disaster for the entire film and television industry in Hong Kong Island. This will definitely not be a good thing and will definitely not be an isolated case.

If even Zhou Shengpeng couldn't withstand the suppression from the authorities, it would be even more impossible for others to be soft.

Then more and more vendors will want to stay away from here. At that time, let alone attracting investment, being able to maintain the status quo will be a blessing in disguise.

"Alright, alright, calm down. There's definitely something wrong with this matter. You can't just blame one person."

The Ministry of Finance came out to smooth things over. They certainly knew how much tax Zhou Shengpeng had contributed, and they also understood that if Hong Kong wanted to become better, it would absolutely rely on Zhou Shengpeng's help, and it would be impossible to do without Zhou Shengpeng's construction.

Once Zhou Shengpeng, the spiritual pillar, is gone, not to mention the film industry, commercial real estate, and many other industries will suffer a series of negative impacts.

"Mr. Zhou, we recognize your filmmaking skills and are aware of your popularity."

"But we don't know whether this genre will be accepted by the public, nor do we understand whether it will cause some negative impact once it is released."

"With so many restrictions, you should understand our efforts. We don't want to cause such a big fuss!"

The smell of Northeastern grits almost made Zhou Shengpeng laugh. Although people from that area are very contagious, he didn't expect that they could have such an effect in Hong Kong Island. It was really rare.

However, Zhou Shengpeng didn't care about such trivial matters. In comparison, Zhou Shengpeng was more curious: What conditions did the He family father and son put forward?

"Tell me, what conditions did they offer? Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to me at this critical moment."

The film has been completed, and it has been reported and approved before.

Even the showtimes at the cinema had been arranged, but suddenly this happened. Zhou Shengpeng didn't believe that this was their own idea!

"They promised that if you delay the release of your film for a while, they will introduce new films, and all the profits will be used to invest in infrastructure."

"They made this promise in front of us, so we thought about giving it a try."

"This isn't a bad thing. You only need to project your image at night for one day and you can achieve a win-win situation. Isn't that great?"

This is indeed a good thing, it's a win-win situation, but Zhou Shengpeng himself will definitely lose money.

He had reason to suspect that the type of film he was going to shoot must have been leaked, and what they were looking for was a Hollywood-produced film full of religious mythology.

Only in this way can they seize the market first, and then they will only need to criticize the works they have shot as plagiarism.

How can the uninformed audience understand why this happened?

"I will not compromise on this matter, and you should all have seen the efforts I have made in the entire infrastructure construction."

"There's no point pretending not to see it. If you really want to do this, the worst that can happen is that both sides will perish. Do you really want to see this happen?"

A fight to the death not only means that Zhou Shengpeng will not get any benefits, but also will not get what the He family father and son promised.

None of these can be obtained.

At that time, they will be the only ones who will be embarrassed. The promises they made with great difficulty will eventually make themselves look like clowns. This kind of thing is purely thankless.

Instead of torturing yourself, you might as well give yourself a little step to relax.

Coincidentally, the He family father and son also came to the dinner at this time.

Looking at Zhou Shengpeng sitting in front of him, he probably understood what was about to happen.

The father and son said nothing.

However, the actions are enough to prove that the authorities like to play both sides.

Although this is the current situation, it is also a fact that I am in a bad mood.

Of course they hope to take the initiative, but now they are too frustrated.

However, the situation is now completely reversed. This is different from what was agreed upon. Zhou Shengpeng inexplicably gained the advantage.

The remaining group of people looks like a clown. Are these officials so shameless?

"My dear ministers, why is this different from what we agreed on? I remember that the business we discussed before was not like this!"

"Mr. He, I know you definitely want to invest a large sum of money. We are also aware of this matter!"

"But think about it, is this so easy to do and solve? You should know better than us~!"

"If possible, I also hope that we can resolve this misunderstanding!"

The three ministers spoke vividly, but their real purpose had been completely exposed.

It's just that you feel like you haven't got the things in your hands yet. In comparison, Zhou Shengpeng's results are immediate.

They have already received a round of investment, so they dare to act so unscrupulously.

As for the father and son of the He family, we can only say that they are really clowns.

"I know you've all been upset and think I'm breaking the rules, but aren't you the ones who've gone too far?"

"Like right now, what's going on? Are they planning to poach everyone? Relying on something like this to get to the top is a bit too shameless!"

What Zhou Shengpeng said was like one slap after another, slapping them hard in the face.

They didn't expect Zhou Shengpeng's counterattack to be so quick and his words to be so sharp that they were unable to fight back.

They had thought of everything before, but they didn't expect that as soon as they gave the suggestions, these officials immediately turned against them!

"You had a good idea about importing foreign films, but I don't think the deal was done."

Zhou Shengpeng stood up, walked behind the father and son with a smile, and patted the backs of their chairs.

The expression and tone are difficult to understand.

"Let me guess what you want to introduce, Evil Dead? Do you really think that kind of movie is something that people can accept aesthetically now?"

"How could you!?"

"How would I know, right? It's simple, because their director found me and hoped that I could hold a promotion event for them in mainland China, and even more so, hoped to reach a cooperation with me for further filming. So now you understand where the gap between us is!"

This made He Zhe'nan confused. How could it be possible?

He is a big Hollywood director, how could he possibly be hanging out with Zhou Shengpeng, even though Zhou Shengpeng is indeed very influential in Hong Kong Island.

But isn't his overseas fame solely due to his heroic qualities? Is he really that famous?

"Ministers, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. I still have a lot of things to attend to, and the press conference is about to start. I have to hurry over, otherwise it would be terrible if I miss out on important matters!"

"It's okay, Mr. Zhou. Just go ahead and leave the rest to us!"
