Note that this book is a slow-burn novel, and it will become increasingly exciting as the story progresses.
It starts from 2002, beginning at the Beijing Film Academy, and starting with the H...
"Director Zhou, Department Head Zhang, Director Liu, the first reason I called you here today is to let General Manager Yang and Brother Cheng Long meet and get acquainted. Xiao Fang, please tell Director Zhou, Department Head Zhang, and Director Liu about your plan."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "I..."
After rambling on for a while, he gave the three bigwigs a detailed and complete account of the entertainment industry plan he had discussed with Han Sanping that day.
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this. Yu Dong and Wang Zhongjun were dumbfounded when they heard that Shen Fang had actually gone to Hong Kong and bought Golden Harvest Cinemas. "Damn, that's too rich! If you weren't this rich, why would you be in the entertainment industry? Couldn't you just be a big boss?"
However, they were all amazed and full of agreement with Chen Fang's ideas on film and television projects, cultural export, talent development, commercialization, and how to revitalize and expand the domestic entertainment industry. They exclaimed, "So that's how it can be done! Why didn't I think of that?"
Yuanzi can be made in this way.
All three leaders nodded.
Zhang Bu smiled as he looked at Shen Fang.
"Very good, Xiao Shen, your idea is excellent. There aren't many young people like you who have such foresight, ideals, planning, action, and a broad perspective. We will hold a small meeting about this matter, and we will provide some support. Now that the country is prosperous, it is precisely the time to vigorously develop the cultural industry. You can do it with confidence; we are your strong backing."
Shen Fang was quite surprised to receive support and subsidies, but upon reflection, it made perfect sense. What he had done not only boosted the cultural industry economy, but more importantly, promoted Chinese culture and exported it abroad.
"Thank you, Minister Zhang."
Minister Zhang smiled.
"Young people should act like young people. The future belongs to you young people. Keep it up."
Chen Fang smiled.
Everyone toasted and drank merrily. The Bai family's cuisine was quite good, after all, they were imperial chefs. After a satisfying meal, Shen Fang and the others saw off the leaders.
Shen Fang set up another party at the bar. Wang Zhongjun cleverly invited several outgoing female artists from the company, including Huo Siyan, Li Xiaolu, and Ma Baozi, and also invited more than 10 young models.
Shen Fang accompanied Cheng Long, while Yang Shoucheng drank a few cups and then broke off the conversation. He didn't like this kind of thing and they made plans for morning tea the next day.
I just got home.
I saw Shen Lanlan lying on the sofa with a face mask on, watching TV. The house was spotless.
This made Shen Fang very gratified.
"Lanlan, not bad, your uncle is very pleased. You can still be a good girl. Go pour me a cup of tea."
Shen Lanlan, wearing a face mask, walked up to Shen Fang and held out the mask in her hand.
Where is my gift?
Shen Fang slapped Shen Lanlan directly.
"Go make some tea, I'll give it to you in a bit. You money-grubber."
"Lanlan, make me a cup too, make it strong, I drank a bit too much earlier."
"Okay."
Shen Kun slumped on the sofa, his feet on the coffee table, thinking that he should relax at home.
Shen Fang let out a burp.
"Wow, you can really drink! I almost threw up from drinking too much."
Shen Kun nodded: "Third Uncle, the female artists in the company can drink a lot. I almost couldn't handle it. Yueming, the only male artist, even threw up. Third Uncle, our company is lacking in males. You should find more male artists."
Shen Lanlan brought over the tea.
Shen Fang took a sip.
"I'll arrange that later. By the way, could you help me look around for villas in our area, preferably with good renovations, landscaping, and security? Manyu is planning to settle in Beijing. Go take a look and take lots of photos."
Shen Kun nodded: "No problem."
"Uncle, where's my gift?"
Shen Lanlan licked her dog face as she looked at Shen Fang.
Shen Fang smiled and said, "Go cut some fruit. It wouldn't be good to go without fruit after a meal."
Shen Lanlan pouted: "I'm not a nanny, how can you treat me like this?"
Shen Fang grinned mischievously: "Do you still want a gift?"
Shen Lanlan walked into the kitchen in annoyance.
"Add some salad dressing and mix it up, add more apples, I love them, don't add grapes, and add some cherries too."
"Okay, okay!!! You have so many demands!!!"
Shen Lanlan responded reluctantly.
Shen Kun handed Shen Fang a cigarette.
"Third Uncle, please don't upset her. This young lady has quite a temper."
Shen Fang smiled and took out a checkbook from his bag.
"Money makes the world go round, and as long as the little money-grubber is obedient, he'll be fine."
Five minutes later, Shen Lanlan came over with a large bowl of vegetable salad.
"Eat."
Shen Fang handed the prepared check to Shen Lanlan.
"Here's 200,000 yuan, your allowance for this month. You've been doing well lately, keep it up, and your uncle will buy you a supercar at the end of the month."
Shen Lanlan snatched the check and tried to kiss Shen Fang's face, but Shen Fang pushed her away.
"Get out of here, you're so annoying."
Shen Lanlan licked the dog's face.
"Hehehe, thank you, Uncle! I love you to death! You're so handsome!!!"
Shen Fang glanced at Shen Kun.
"See? He's a money-grubber. Money can buy anything."
Shen Kun shook his head and poked his head at Shen Lanlan, saying, "Tsk tsk, the world is so cold, Lanlan. I never thought you were this kind of person. How could you sell your dignity for money? We must fight back!"
Shen Lanlan pouted: "What's the point of talking about dignity if you have money? Besides, it's not someone else's money. What's wrong with me selling a little dignity for my uncle's money? Brother Kun, you're drinking my tea and eating my fruit, so be sensible!!!"
Shen Kun laughed: "Alright, I'm such a smart aleck, I can't resist teasing you."
Shen Lanlan pouted and said, "After you finish eating, you can play with the bowls yourselves. I'm going upstairs to rest."
Shen Fang's phone rang to a Hong Kong number, which he didn't recognize.
I answered the phone.
"Hey, who's there?"
"President Shen, it is I, Li Caihua."
"Oh, Caihua, what's wrong?"
"Mr. Shen, I've made up my mind. I'm going to go back to the mainland with you. You said you would support me, is that true?"
After seeing on TV that Shen Fang had acquired Golden Harvest, actresses like Maggie Cheung and Rosamund Kwan joined Dragon Harvest, Li Caihua saw a bright future for herself. So she contacted her agent. When her agent learned that a mainland tycoon had taken a liking to her and was going to promote her, she immediately urged Li Caihua to agree. Was she out of her mind? Shen Fang's name was now known throughout the Hong Kong entertainment industry; how could she miss such a great opportunity?
You're just an unknown nobody in Hong Kong, what kind of future can you have? If you weren't pretty, you'd have trouble even making ends meet.
"Uh, of course, but I've already gone back to the mainland. Here's a phone number for you. Our company's general manager, Zhong Lifang, is still in Hong Kong. Go and contact her, and you can come back together. I promised to support you, and I will. I keep my word."
"Uh, okay, thank you, Mr. Shen."
"Don't mention it, goodnight."
"good evening."
The call ended.
