Not far away.
Zheng Peipei, Chen Baixiang, Huang Zhan and the others looked in Chen Dong's direction and spoke in hushed tones.
Cheng Pei-pei said with a smile, "It seems that the boss wants to give Ah-Xing some acting pointers."
Chen Baixiang made an exaggerated expression, curled his lips and said, "I would believe a million times that the boss taught Ah Xing how to make money, but I would never believe that he taught Ah Xing how to act, even if you beat me to death."
Chen Baixiang is a well-known supporting actor in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia. In his words, "Supporting roles don't involve as much scheming and infighting, so why not play supporting roles? Besides, the appearance fees for the supporting roles I play are not low."
With this mindset, his network of connections in the entertainment industry is second to none, because he will never compete with others for the lead role.
Zheng Peipei nodded: "I also heard this from someone else. It is said that our other boss, Xiang Huaqiang's younger brother, Xiang Huasheng, is no longer working for this big boss. His current wealth is almost surpassing that of his brother Xiang Huaqiang."
"Really?" Chen Baixiang was somewhat surprised; he was more interested in investing than acting.
Many people invested in Hong Kong during that era.
For example, Andy Lau, a famous actor, is well-known in the investment world. However, being well-known here doesn't mean he's particularly capable.
on the contrary!
Andy Lau loses money on everything he invests in.
It is a well-known beacon of light.
The meaning of "bright lamp" is self-evident: a guiding light.
Therefore, Andy Lau is often cited as a negative example.
But given the environment, if you just do a job in Hong Kong, you'll be laughed at by your neighbors. Even the vegetable vendors will invest their earnings.
Stocks, horse racing, and funds have become an indispensable part of life for Hong Kong people.
Huang Zhan, who hadn't said much until now, spoke up: "I've also heard about what Sister Zheng mentioned, but I also know another piece of gossip."
As he finished speaking, Huang Zhan's voice grew lower and lower, as if he were whispering in their ears, and it was almost impossible to hear unless you listened carefully.
“I heard that Li Ka-shing of Hong Kong has suffered losses in front of this boss, and more than once.”
"No way?"
"How is that possible?"
Cheng Pei-pei and Chen Po-hsiang both had exaggerated expressions, showing extreme surprise.
Li Ka-shing is known as Asia's richest man, and his Cheung Kong Holdings is a household name in Hong Kong.
Such a person actually suffered a loss in front of Chen Dong, and more than once.
Anyone who hears such a thing will be incredulous.
Huang Zhan spoke with absolute certainty, as if he had heard it with his own ears. He whispered again, "Don't spread rumors outside. I don't want to be suppressed by these big capitalists."
“Let me tell you, a distant relative of mine works for the Li family. She came to visit during the Spring Festival and told me herself that she learned about this by overhearing a conversation between the Li father and son.”
"Think about it carefully. Why did that entertainment company that caused such a stir not long ago go out of business? Did the Li family run out of money? Not at all! Let me tell you, our boss is not only incredibly shrewd, but also has a sharp eye for business."
"Every script he chooses achieves good box office results. Just last year, Huaxia Star won so many awards. Don't you have any idea?"
The two of them suddenly realized what had happened, and everything that had puzzled them before now made sense.
Huang Zhan offered him a very low salary. At the time, two other films also approached him, but he chose "Flirting Scholar" without hesitation, without even considering it.
This was something the group had been trying to understand, and now that they heard him say it, Zheng Peipei and Chen Baixiang felt a chill run down their spines, but also felt extremely fortunate.
Chen Baixiang smiled somewhat awkwardly and asked, "If that's the case, then the movie we're making now could also win a major award, and maybe our value will increase a bit in the future."
Cheng Pei-pei seemed very happy, while Huang Zhan solemnly said, "That's right. Although the movie isn't even halfway done, I have a feeling that this movie will definitely become a classic."
As he spoke, he gestured towards Vivian Chow, indicating that the two of them should look at her. "See? President Chow is personally involved. Think about it carefully. President Chow manages such a large company as Huaxia Star, why would she come to make this movie?"
Just then.
Ah Xing's performance began not far away.
He placed the stool, the small wooden table, and the gong and drum used in ancient times for night watchmen in specific positions, and then struck them intermittently.
Of course! The so-called knocking is just a gesture, not actual contact.
If you actually hit a material like a candle, there's only one outcome: it will break in two on the spot.
"I live on the outskirts of SZ, with a house and fields, and I live a very happy life."
"......"
As Ah Xing performed, Chen Dong would occasionally offer pointers, "Ah Xing, the rhythm is wrong, you should say it like this."
"I, a humble man, live on the outskirts of Shenzhen. I have a house and fields, and my life is filled with boundless joy."
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom."
"At this pace, you do it again."
Ah Xing did as instructed, though she was a little resentful. The man in front of her was Chen Dong, who had been kind to her. But to her surprise, as soon as Ah Xing recited the lines according to Chen Dong's instructions, she felt a sudden change in her mind.
He looked up at Chen Dong blankly, "Boss, I think I'm starting to get the hang of it."
Chen Dong smiled and said, "Yes, let's follow this rhythm and try again."
