Chapter 167 #0166 】
"Hello, Mr. Cheng? I'm a reporter from Hong Kong Ming Pao. Can I do an interview for you?"
"Hi, I'm a reporter from Hong Kong's Wen Wei Po, and I want to do an exclusive interview with you for your recently popular advertisement!"
These media reporters all have a keen sense of smell and know which reports are valuable and which reports can increase newspaper sales.
Although Shaw's big stars are eye-catching, Zheng Shaoqiu is more newsworthy now.
Facing the reporter's question, Zheng Shaoqiu showed a proud face, "I'm sorry, everyone line up and take your time! That gentleman, don't squeeze, don't squeeze the children!"
"I respect the media and reporters! I will answer your questions one by one!"
Shi Zhijian looked at the scene in front of him. He was afraid that Zheng Shaoqiu would not be able to handle it, but he didn't expect him to be able to handle it with ease. food.
Just as Shi Zhijian was thinking, he heard someone behind him say: "This is really a strong general with no weak soldiers."
Looking back, it was Zou Wenhuai.
Zou Wenhuai changed from yesterday's downcast appearance tonight, he was also wearing a suit and tie, holding a glass of champagne in his hand, looking like a boss, looking at Shi Zhijian smiling.
Shi Zhijian didn't bother to explain, Qiu Zai was self-taught, and although he had a thick skin, he wasn't shameless yet.
"Mr. Zou seems to be in good spirits tonight."
"Shaw's feast, you can't put on a bitter face." Zou Wenhuai said. "And you, I originally thought that you would not accept the invitation and would work hard to create that script of "Mythology"."
"Don't worry, since I want to bet with you, I'm already prepared!"
"I'll wait for good news from you!" Zou Wenhuai didn't believe that Shi Zhijian could really write a high-quality script. It's not so easy to make a movie!
"There are quite a lot of guests here tonight!" Shi Zhijian changed the topic, glanced around inadvertently, and paused for a while on a ghost.
That ghost was dressed in a very British style. Shi Zhijian had inquired about him, and his name was "Perico", and he was a senior advisor to the Water Supplies Department of the British Hong Kong Government.
"It's quite a lot. Shaw's engaged in activities, who dare not give face?" Zou Wenhuai smiled, then pointed to the front, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet Shao Daheng."
"He wants to see me?"
"What do you think? Shao Daheng's status is extraordinary, not everyone can see it!"
Zou Wenhuai's words are not wrong. Although Yifu Shao is a filmmaker, he is one of the top celebrity tycoons in Hong Kong. He not only has a lot of money, but also has many stars under his banner, and he also controls a lot of voice in Hong Kong.
Therefore, a big man like him usually interviews some bigwigs with extraordinary wrists, or some young handsome people who have caught his eye.
As for Shi Zhijian, it's a little more subtle.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Shi Zhijian is a handsome young man, but it was he who secretly made Shao Daheng think of him.
Shao Daheng is proud and arrogant, and has always been a master who refuses to suffer.
Zou Wenhuai led Shi Zhijian there, Shi Zhijian didn't miss Zheng Shaoqiu either, he could be so cruel to himself, it's unreasonable not to be popular.
...
Over there, Daheng Shao was surrounded by a group of chatterers, including some high-level executives of the Shaw Group, and some super bigwigs in Hong Kong, including Li Zhaotian, the head of the Hong Kong Li family, Su Wenhai, the chairman of the Hong Kong Jockey Association, and the Hong Kong Traffic Association. Chairman Lei Juekun and so on.
These people are all big shots in Hong Kong just one by one.
Seeing Zou Wenhuai bring Shi Zhijian over, Shao Yifu said sorry to everyone, and then signaled Zou Wenhuai to take Shi Zhijian to the other side.
So Shi Zhijian passed Li Zhaotian, Su Wenhai, Lei Juekun and others, and walked straight to Shao Yifu.
Li Zhaotian and the others just took one more look at Shi Zhijian, and then started talking with each other again. To them, Shi Zhijian was basically an unknown person, so how could he fall into their eyes.
...
In a secluded leisure place, there is a tempered glass coffee table, and there are two people sitting beside the coffee table.
One was in his thirties, dressed in suits and leather shoes, wearing glasses and behaved politely. When he saw Daheng Shao coming, he hurriedly got up to say hello.
Zou Wenhuai followed Shi Zhijian and introduced in a low voice: "Zhou Duwen, now the manager of the Shaw Brothers production department."
The other person was slightly older, in his forties, with a big back, and when Shao Daheng came over, he just nodded slightly, with a very well-balanced posture.
Zou Wenhuai only had four words to introduce this person: "This person's surname is Qiu."
Before arriving at the tea table, Shao Daheng sat down directly beside the man surnamed Qiu. Zhou Duwen, who had been talking to that Mr. Qiu, moved his seat naturally and sat on the other side of Shao Daheng.
Shi Zhijian and Zou Wenhuai sat opposite the three of them.
"Mr. Shi, I wonder what you like to drink?" Shao Yifu asked.
Shi Zhijian smiled: "Whatever you like to drink, I will do it together."
"Okay, let's have a bottle of red wine." Shao Yifu told the waiter who was waiting next to him.
The waiter bowed and hurriedly prepared drinks.
Here, Shi Zhijian naturally leaned forward slightly, about ten centimeters away from the edge of the coffee table, pretending to be ready to listen carefully.
Shao Yifu was very satisfied with Shi Zhijian's posture, ten centimeters away, neither flattering nor aloof, this young man is very good.
"Dare to ask Mr. Shi Guigeng?"
"eighteen."
"You are so young, you are truly a hero." Shao Yifu praised him.
"Where did you graduate?"
"Emperor's College."
"Good school!" Yifu Shao praised again.
Queen's College is the earliest government secondary school in Hong Kong, and it teaches in English. Anyone who graduates from this college basically has a bright future.
Huo Daheng, who is now quite successful in the shipping industry and real estate industry, graduated from Queen's College.
At this time, the red wine was brought up, and the waiters poured the wine one by one, first Mr. Qiu, who must be Shao Daheng's distinguished guest, then Shao Daheng himself, then Shi Zhijian, Zou Wenhuai and Zhou Duwen.
Guest relations are clear at a glance.
Shao Yifu shook the red wine glass with his right hand, and the red wine swirled in the glass.
"Authentic cellar red wine from Osto Villa in Italy, please try it."
Everyone raised their glasses together.
Neither humble nor overbearing, Shi Zhijian took a sip gracefully and savored the taste of the red wine, it was good.
Shao Daheng saw Shi Zhijian's behavior in his eyes, and compared and analyzed it with the tips he received.
Shi Zhijian was born in Shek Kip Mei. He used to be a military police officer, but he was dismissed for some reason. His family background is poor!
Does this look like a child from a poor family?
Daheng Shao was puzzled by the informant he had obtained.
"Mr. Shi, why did I invite you this time?" Yifu Shao asked again.
Shi Zhijian put down his wine glass, took a tissue to dab the corner of his mouth very politely, and then said, "Shouldn't we celebrate "The One-Armed Swordsman" breaking the million mark at the box office together?"
Shao Yifu smiled, but did not speak.
Next to him, Zhou Duwen started to take the lead: "I'm sorry, Mr. Shi, but we are actually very curious about you."
"Curious, curious about what?"
"I'm curious how you thought of buying out the movie "The One-Armed Swordsman" at such a young age."
The others also looked at Shi Zhijian and waited for his answer. After all, Shaw Brothers has filmed so many scenes, why Shi Zhijian chose this one is a bit too weird.
Shi Zhijian knew it well, he had already guessed that everyone would ask this question, so he smiled slightly, "Maybe you don't know, my old man is a shoemaker."
"So what?"
"He passed away."
"so what?"
"Not long ago, he entrusted me with a dream and told me that "The One-Armed Swordsman" is going to explode!"
Zhou Duwen shut up.
Do you have a dream?
That's okay too? !
Shao Yifu smiled.
The Mr. Qiu next to him also laughed.
Zou Wenhuai glanced at Shi Zhijian and secretly praised: "Sharp!"
Shi Zhijian was very grateful to that dead ghost old man who had never met, and he did not know how many times he helped him.
"Hey, Mr. Shi, I'm a materialist, and I disagree with your answer." Zhou Duwen said again.
"Excuse me, Mr. Zhou? I guess you must have a bad relationship with your old man."
"Why?"
"Because your old man has never entrusted you with dreams!"
Zhou Duwen lost his composure, and was about to continue to fight back against Shi Zhijian. At this moment, Shao Yifu said, "This is a good dream! You will get more than half of the million box office! You are a good old man!"
Uh, why is this sentence so familiar?
Shi Zhijian thought for a while and remembered that it was Lei Luo who said it.
"But did your old man tell you when you dreamed about it, can you really take away the box office?"
Shao Daheng downplayed it, and then took a sip of the red wine.
What's the meaning?
Could it be that the famous Shao Daheng is going to play tricks? !
