The next morning, they arrived at the porridge shop and ordered some dim sum, including Xu Bing's favorite barbecued pork buns.
Xie Wan took out Li Baihe's photo and asked the boss, "Did you see this woman four days ago?"
Although the boss had no impression of Xie Wan, he recognized Li Baili and nodded, saying, "Remember, this lady comes to eat at my restaurant every once in a while."
Xie Wan asked the boss: "Do you remember when she came four days ago? Was she alone or with a companion?"
The boss said that Li Baili came at around eight in the morning, originally alone, and later a man came who seemed to be very familiar with Li Baili, and the two sat together to have breakfast.
Xie Wan took out a copy of the sketch drawn by the bank staff. The boss looked at it for a while and said, "It's a bit similar. The person in the painting is not clear, but they are both thin."
Xie Wan asked the boss if he had seen that man before?
The boss thought about it for a long time but was not sure. But the boss's wife said, "The man had been here before, also with this woman."
Then ask the boss and the boss lady if they know that this man is from Hong Kong?
The two shook their heads and said they didn't know and hadn't spoken.
Xie Wan felt regretful. It was a pity that even banks didn’t have surveillance cameras installed. The sketch drawn by the bank employee was too abstract.
After the boss and his wife left, Xie Wan and Xu Bing discussed the matter while eating breakfast.
Xu Bing picked up a barbecued pork bun and asked curiously, "Boss, how do you know that Li Baili came to this porridge shop on the day of her death?"
Xie Wan pointed at the barbecued pork bun in Xu Bing's hand and said, "I found the remnants of the barbecued pork bun in her stomach."
Xu Bing looked at the barbecued pork bun in his hand, then glanced at Xie Wan who looked calm, then suddenly stood up and rushed out of the porridge shop...
Xie Wan received a lot of resentment from Xu Bing.
She finished her breakfast and kindly packed some snacks for Xu Bing before leaving the porridge shop.
Xu Bing stood at the street corner waiting for her with a pale face, complaining in a very sad tone:
"Boss, can I make a request? Don't bring up the issue during meals anymore?"
Xie Wan raised an eyebrow and asked back, “Did I ask that?
Didn't you ask me? "
Xu Bing was speechless. How did he know that Li Baili also liked to eat barbecued pork buns?
He swore that he would never eat barbecued pork buns again in his life.
The two returned to the hotel to wash up. Xie Wan said that she didn't want to investigate the case anymore today as she needed to take care of her own things.
Xu Bing hadn't slept the previous night and didn't want to follow Xie Wan for the time being, so the two of them agreed to go their separate ways for a day.
Xie Wan made an appointment with Chen Ziqiang today.
She rented a car from the hotel and had the driver take her to the newly opened film company.
This is her own film company.
Because Xie Wan was generous and gave Chen Ziqiang 5 million as start-up capital, the film company rented a floor as an office.
Chen Ziqiang was waiting for her downstairs and greeted her personally.
"Boss, the script you gave me last time is ready to be filmed. It's a good coincidence that you're here. I'll take you to the studio to have a look later."
Chen Ziqiang pushed open a larger office and said, "Boss, because you said you are not usually in Hong Kong City, I didn't prepare an office for you.
This is where I usually work, you can use it first, I will move out."
Xie Wan shook her head, "No, I told you that you are in charge of this company, I don't need an office.
I just came to take a look.”
Chen Ziqiang took a stack of documents from the desk and handed them to Xie Wan, who sat on the sofa and looked through them.
This is the script of "Shaolin Temple".
"Boss, what you gave me last time was just a story outline. I asked an old colleague to help rewrite it into a script. Take a look. Does it agree with your idea?"
The last time he came to Hong Kong and was preparing to invest in the film industry, Xie Wan agreed to give him a script from Chen Ziqiang.
As a result, she went back and scratched her head for a long time, and only wrote a synopsis of the story of "Shaolin Temple".
Xie Wan roughly knew that action movies were popular in Hong Kong in the 1970s and 1980s, but because of the difference in the year she was born, she had basically never seen one.
She racked her brains and the only thing she could think of was "Shaolin Temple" which was released in Hong Kong in 1982.
It is said that when this movie was released in Hong Kong, it set a box office record of 16 million.
You have to know that movies of the same era that can have a box office of two million can rank in the top three.
"Shaolin Temple" was later released in mainland China, with a ticket price of one cent, and it earned a box office of 160 million yuan.
It was released in Japan and grossed 4 billion yen at the box office, and in South Korea, it grossed 5.1 billion won at the box office.
This film was co-produced by mainland China and Hong Kong. Xie Wan didn't remember any of the directors or actors. He only remembered that the leading actor was Jet Li.
But now Jet Li is only 11 years old and is still studying at Shichahai Sports School. He is obviously not suitable to be the leading actor.
After Xie Wan finished reading the script, she was very surprised to find that the script was rewritten almost exactly like the "Shaolin Temple" she had seen in her previous life.
"Is this screenwriter really good? If he is your old colleague, can you poach him to our company and give him the highest salary?"
Chen Ziqiang said with a smile: "I was just about to tell you, boss, this screenwriter is also a director.
He shot his first film at Shaw Brothers last year, but it hasn't been released yet.
After writing the script, he wanted to shoot it himself, and I agreed, and he has already been brought to our company."
Xie Wan felt that he was not familiar with the directors and screenwriters in Hong Kong in the 1970s, so he did not ask their names.
When we got to the studio, we saw a young man in his twenties directing the film. We also heard Chen Ziqiang calling the young man over, "Asen, come here, this is our boss. She wrote the story outline."
