1097
Despite facing a meritorious figure from the mainland, Tang Ping'an still felt both apprehensive and envious.
Although he was in Hong Kong, Tang Ping'an always had a deeper understanding of issues than others, and he had already sensed the complex feelings Hong Kong had towards the mainland after the handover date was set.
Meanwhile, the mainland has a population of one billion and a huge market.
Especially now that economic reforms are underway and people's living standards are improving, their spiritual lives will inevitably become more important. That will be the time for those in the entertainment industry to showcase their talents.
This is also one of the reasons why Tang Ping'an came in person.
"I dare not presume to offer my corrections, but I will certainly come to pay my respects when the time comes," Tang Ping'an said politely.
"Okay, I'll definitely come then," Tang Qian said. "By the way, did Li Ming give you any trouble because of the change of director?"
Li Ming is the Hong Kong director we invited earlier.
Previously, their company had invited a director from Hong Kong through Tang Ping'an, who was quite famous in the fragrance industry.
Because that director wanted to sleep with Qin Shuang.
Qin Shuang is a director, and a very talented one at that. He hasn't even graduated from university yet; he's never seen anything like this before.
Qin Shuang was harassed repeatedly, but she endured it so as not to delay the filming. However, the snake king Li Xian saw this and gave the director a good beating. Afterwards, the director left, claiming that his life was threatened, leaving the filming site less than halfway done.
Tang Ping'an had heard about it before, and inwardly cursed the director for being ungrateful and not appreciating such a good opportunity!
"Although Li Ming is famous in Hong Kong, he can't make things difficult for me. After all, I'm in the publishing and film and television industry, and I don't have much contact with him. It's because of my improper introduction that I've caused you trouble, and I'm very sorry," Tang Ping'an said solemnly. Even if Tang Qian hadn't said it, he would have apologized to his face today.
Tang Qian waved his hand and smiled, "At first, Li Ming's departure did cause us some trouble, but we united as one and worked together to create a lot of innovations. The resulting film was even better than the first half. So we completely abandoned Li Ming's earlier filming and used our own ideas. After a week of release in China, we've already grossed 23 million yuan. It may not be as good as 'Shaolin Temple,' but it's definitely a well-made and excellent film."
Upon hearing this, Tang Ping'an became interested and no longer maintained his previous polite attitude.
"Definitely, I will definitely watch the film carefully." Tang Ping'an's attitude changed somewhat, becoming more serious.
Although Tang Qian had studied Hong Kong's entertainment industry before, he was far inferior to Tang Ping'an, who had been working in Hong Kong for several years.
Tang Qian wanted to develop his entertainment company, so he was willing to get some information from Tang Ping'an, or some future trends.
"Brother Ping An, tell me, is it possible for the mainland entertainment industry to emulate Hong Kong?" Tang Qian said. Hong Kong has now become the entertainment center of Asia, with many works achieving high box office returns across Asia, and some stars and singers enjoying great fame.
Tang Ping'an was taken aback, but after thinking about Mr. Tang's ambitions, he smiled and said, "Imitation is not feasible. First of all, the systems in the mainland and Hong Kong are different, and the direction of cultural control is also different, which is the most fundamental point. Secondly, the entertainment industry in the mainland should first serve the mainland audience, so it is more appropriate to produce TV dramas, films and songs that cater to the tastes of the mainland people."
"Has the entertainment industry in mainland China developed to the same level as Hong Kong?" Tang Qian asked. He was truly envious of the dazzling stars and numerous works in Hong Kong!
“Hehe, maybe in the future,” Tang Ping’an said. “The entertainment industry in mainland China is very backward right now, but this backwardness is not without its advantages. It allows for leapfrog development in advance, embracing and integrating various elements, making it much richer. Given the vast territory of mainland China, one CCTV is absolutely not enough to meet the needs of the people in the future. So when local TV stations develop, that will be the era of booming development for the entertainment industry in mainland China.”
Tang Qian was taken aback. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that what Tang Ping'an said was very insightful!
“Well said, very insightful,” Tang Qian said. “I have gained some inspiration from you, thank you very much.”
Tang Ping'an smiled and said, "No need to thank me, these are just my humble opinions. As you just said, perhaps we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."
“Okay, we’ll definitely have opportunities to cooperate in the future,” Tang Qian said, trying his best to persuade Tang Ping’an to stay for dinner.
We hit it off immediately!
Despite their different personalities, the two shared a common interest in the entertainment industry and enjoyed a pleasant conversation.
Tang Ping'an finally got up to say goodbye at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Qi Zhengmin came out of the room and said softly, "You value Tang Ping'an a lot!"
"Hehe, he's a talent," Tang Qian said. "Moreover, Tang Ping'an has the copyrights to several works, so there might be opportunities for collaboration in the future. I've also gained some insights from Tang Ping'an."
“This is Sister Tian’s student. Sister Tian even has his books at home,” Qi Zhengmin said. “They are indeed quite good. I like them very much.”
“Yes, he is a very talented person,” Tang Qian said. “From Tang Ping’an’s respectful tone, you can tell that he is very respectful to He Tiantian and has not forgotten Tiantian’s promotion of him.”
Qi Zhengmin nodded and said, "Sister Tian is just that kind of person. She hopes that the people around her can give full play to their talents. She is naturally the kind of person who is happy to help others."
"You're absolutely right," Tang Qian said. "You don't need to say anything more. Tian Tian made things difficult for me a lot in order to marry you. And Qi Xiaoyan, Yuan Hua, Jiang Wenwen, Wang Ying, she did her best to help anyone who was close to her. Now that you've all achieved great success in your respective fields, it's all thanks to Tian Tian's silent contributions."
"Oh, what a good person!" Qi Zhengmin couldn't help but give He Tiantian a "good person" card. "Such a good woman, if I were a man, I definitely wouldn't have a chance with Huo Yingjie."
"Hey, hey, hey, your husband is right here, how can you say such things?" Tang Qian said unhappily. "And besides, you can only say these things to me, don't say them in front of Huo Yingjie. If he hears you, he will definitely give you a hard time."
"Haha, that's just how my brother-in-law is. He's always especially serious when it comes to Sister Tian Tian." Qi Zhengmin laughed, but he was also happy that Sister Tian Tian had such a devoted husband.
Sweetie and Yingjie are a match made in heaven.
Tang Qian pinched his wife's nose and laughed, "I'm very serious too. I don't want anyone to covet you. I understand how men feel."
"Hmph, then you'd better behave yourself." Qi Zhengmin rolled her eyes cutely. Her husband was in the entertainment industry, so she had to remind him often.
