On the other side.
After leaving HSBC, Chen Dong got into a Bentley.
As Wolong drove, he asked, "Boss, are we going back to Hidden Dragon Residence, or somewhere else?"
Chen Dong pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to Huaxia Star first."
"Okay, boss."
Wolong turned around and headed towards Huaxia Star Film Company.
It is now October.
October is a window of opportunity for the film and television industry.
Most of the movies filmed this month will be released around Christmas and during the Spring Festival.
The period around these two holidays is the most intense time for box office competition and a crucial time for major film companies.
Films invested in by Huaxia Star Film Company will also be released during this period.
Wolong: "Boss, Huaxia Star has arrived."
Chen Dong nodded, signaling Wolong to park the car first, and then he got out of the car and went straight into the company.
The two young ladies at the front desk both looked surprised when they saw Chen Dong.
Chen Dong asked with a faint smile, "President Zhou, do you have any guests right now?"
A young woman hurriedly said, "No, no. However, the president is not in the company. She went to the film set early this morning with the company's senior executives."
I see!
After asking for the address, Chen Dong smiled politely at the two receptionists.
Afterwards, Chen Dong didn't go up, but instead had Wolong drive straight to the film set.
The receptionist covered her mouth, still reeling from the shock.
"Oh my god, I actually saw the legendary Chen Sheng! He's so young and handsome!"
...
One of the filming locations for Huaxia Star Film Company, it's bustling with people coming and going.
The director stared at the camera, his brow furrowed.
The executive director held the script in one hand and a megaphone in the other, constantly urging the progress of various tasks.
At this moment, only two actors are filming shots involving them.
The other actors rested on the sidelines.
Because of the limited space on the sidelines, these people must try to avoid being in the camera's field of view when they are resting.
In this situation, big-name celebrities, some minor actors, as well as artist assistants, makeup artists, and so on, all gathered together.
A minor celebrity looked enviously at the direction the camera was shooting and muttered, "The male lead is so handsome. If my boyfriend were as handsome as him, I would be laughing in my dreams."
At this moment, the female celebrity next to her mocked, "Look at you, so unsophisticated. Little girl, you've never met Mr. Chen, the big boss of Huaxia Star."
"Really? I've heard that Mr. Chen is a very handsome man! It's just a pity that he doesn't seem to show his face much. I haven't seen him in newspapers, magazines, or on TV."
Most of these media outlets in Hong Kong are under Chen Dong's control.
Chen Dong doesn't want to show his face, so who would dare to deliberately create news reports about him?
The actors chatted idly, and the topic intentionally or unintentionally drifted to Chen Dong. Who doesn't love gossip? Especially gossip among the sons of the wealthy, which is a common topic of conversation among Hong Kong people.
At this point, Andy Lau finished filming and went to rest at the makeshift workbench.
Andy Lau, who has always been approachable, remains down-to-earth even after becoming a big star.
The supporting actors all have good relationships with Andy Lau in private.
At this moment, seeing Andy Lau come over to rest, she pulled him into the chat.
"Wah Jai, you must have met our big boss, Mr. Chen. What kind of person is he?"
Everyone turned to look at Andy Lau.
After a moment's thought, Andy Lau said with a determined look, "Mr. Chan is a very profound person with unique insight and a kind heart. He has earned the recognition of many people in Hong Kong and does very well in any business he does. In short, Mr. Chan is truly remarkable."
At this moment, someone in the crowd said, "But recently there have been rumors in Hong Kong that Hidden Dragon Residence is in trouble. It seems that they have financial problems, and Mr. Chen doesn't have much money left. I wonder if this will affect the release of our movie."
It's important to understand that in Hong Kong, if you don't have enough capital, even if you manage to make a film, you won't have the opportunity or the qualifications to be included in the Lunar New Year release window.
Everyone reacted differently when this was mentioned.
The executive director picked up a megaphone and started urging everyone to hurry up.
The next scene featured Andy Lau, who left in a hurry, leaving the minor stars to discuss amongst themselves.
Just then, a car drove up.
When Chen Dong and Wolong got out of the car, the minor celebrities couldn't help but get excited.
"My goodness! That looks like Mr. Chen!"
“What do you mean ‘seems like’? It’s exactly like that. I’ve seen the photos in Sister Amin’s office.”
"He's so handsome! It's a shame he's not making movies."
Chen Dong got out of the car and began looking for people.
At this moment, Zhou Huimin, accompanied by senior management from Huaxia Star, was inspecting the film set.
Upon seeing Zhou Huimin's location, Chen Dong quickly walked over.
Wolong followed behind, carrying a lot of Ovaltine in his hands: "There's still a lot in the car, Mr. Chen treated everyone to drinks."
Several production crew members were assigned to unload the Ovaltine from the vehicle.
Ovaltine was created in Switzerland in 1904 and was once the official drink for sports.
Ovaltine was introduced to Hong Kong in the 1940s and gained recognition there.
At this moment, Chen Dong was also holding a cup of Ovaltine.
Everyone's attention was drawn to it.
Chen Dong walked in front of Zhou Huimin and handed her Ovaltine.
Zhou Huimin looked at Chen Dong and exclaimed, "Brother Dong, what brings you here?"
Chen Dong smiled faintly: "I heard that a certain beautiful CEO came over early this morning with her senior executives to supervise the construction. Did she not even have breakfast?"
