Chapter 494 Clearly
In the eyes of later generations, this meeting basically became another key turning point in the development of Hong Kong's entertainment industry.
It can even be said that this was a key turning point for the film industry, which finally allowed it to find a ray of hope to escape from the impact of the piracy wave.
Although this glimmer of hope seems very slim at this moment, a spark can eventually start a prairie fire. Once you can find an accurate and useful direction, the rest of the road will undoubtedly be much easier.
Of course, this seven-hour meeting was just the beginning. Even with the support headed by the Ho family of Macau, it only received about half of the votes in favor until the end of the meeting. For those who still needed time to consider, Su Yun also "generously" gave them time to seriously consider.
"Thank you, Pingsi." After the meeting, Su Yun returned to the office and looked at He Pingsi gratefully.
He Pingsi smiled and said, "Why would I discuss this with you? Rather, when I help you, I am also helping myself."
Hearing He Pingsi's response, Su Yun smiled helplessly, and then gently held her hand: Recently, there are rumors that the He family's business has some problems, so the gambling king He plans to match his daughter with the son of the shipping king Xu, in order to overcome this difficulty through marriage...
Previously, Hui Chun-keng joined the recording of the "Millionaire" program not only to show off in front of the Hong Kong citizens, but also because the elders of the two families who have the final say hoped that the young couple could "communicate" more.
Unfortunately, He Pingsi did not fall in love with Xu Junkeng, who was of the same age and family background, but instead developed a mutual affection for Yang Qilong, who was a few years younger than her. As far as Su Yun knew, the two had already started a private relationship.
Of course, they suppressed the news and did not let the media make it public, but this news was no longer a secret in their circle.
Compared to the Xu family, with whom he had many business partners, King of Gamblers He was of course dissatisfied with Yang Qilong and the Yang family: not to mention that the Yang family was inferior to the Xu family in level, just look at Yang Qilong's past deeds as a second-generation rich man, and his "unfavored" behavior at home that made him completely unable to compete with his stepmother's family, and ultimately he had to start his own modeling company... Is it worth sacrificing his most promising daughter?
How can it match!
"So, what are you and him going to do?" Su Yun asked concernedly.
"I made a bet with my dad to give us a little more time. If our cooperation is successful, even if the business of Macau Entertainment and Shun Tak changes, we can still have new business." He Pingsi explained, "My dad wanted to join the film and television industry in his early years, but it was a pity that he didn't succeed."
"The film and television industry is developing so well now, and you and I have a close enough relationship. If I can get in touch with you, he said he would give me a chance to choose for myself." He Pingsi sighed again when he said this, "Sometimes, while enjoying the benefits of the family, you also need to shoulder the responsibilities that you should bear."
What's more, even though her older brother and sister had met with accidents, she still had many younger brothers. The reason why she was so "favored" now was mainly because her gambling king father was using her as a whetstone and a temporary backup.
Thanks to her good luck, the film and television industry has flourished in recent years, and the public relations company she cooperated with Su Yun has also been thriving, which has given her father, a gambling king, some other ideas and he has not fully revealed his mentality of getting rid of her sooner or later.
Moreover, although Yang Qilong was a well-known second-generation rich man in Hong Kong, after being with her, he restrained his former playboy nature, bravely fought against his stepmother at home, apologized to Yang's father, and decided to start from the bottom of his family's entertainment company.
As for his comments on people's "prodigal son's return", he said very seriously: "I work so hard not for the sake of whether I am worthy or not, but purely to prove one thing - Pingsi's vision and choice are correct."
Hearing this story of two-way efforts, Su Yun smiled from the bottom of her heart: "I wish you success."
"Thank you, but the key to whether this can succeed still depends on you as the leader." He Pingsi waved his hands, "I have staked my entire life on you, I hope you, the 'wealthy woman', can bless me."
"Working so hard? There's always a chance of something happening. What if something doesn't go well?" Su Yun raised her eyebrows.
"Anything is possible. I can afford to lose..." He Pingsi's tone was serious, but also a little joking. "The worst that can happen is that I will be kicked out of the house by my own father like my boyfriend. Anyway, I have you as my old friend. Even if I am no longer a rich lady, I won't end up wandering the streets."
"Don't worry, I will always be your last trump card." Su Yun said following her words.
He Pingsi made a sound of "tsk". Then she came over and pinched Su Yun's cheek rudely: "Sometimes I really wonder if you rely on your overly sweet mouth to play with those people..."
"Hey, hey, don't think like that. They and I were just destined to meet..." Su Yun raised her hands and pretended to be innocent. Then she sighed again, "But, emotions are really hard to control. I just hope that each of them can get the happiness they want."
"And if you can take this opportunity to make some money, that would be even better." He Pingsi squinted his eyes.
Although Su Yun was indeed very kind to those people in her hands and took great pains to ensure that they had a smooth journey, at the same time, Su Yun also used this to stir up the heat and increase the stock price, and then her wealth soared...
"I'm a businessman too." Su Yun spread out his hands with an increasingly innocent look.
Such obviously scumbag words and deeds are not only used by Su Yun to face good friends like Ru He Ping Si, but also used by Su Yun to face various media people who come to ask her about her "relationships" with various thoughts.
"If someone takes the initiative to do this, I can't control it." Whenever facing this kind of interview, Su Yun basically responds in this calm but impolite way.
In response to her Versailles behavior, people who found this type of interview in the Internet era used it as a basis and changed the caption below to "They took the initiative to like me, how can they say I'm a scumbag?", and then made it into a classic scumbag girl emoticon package, which was prevalent in various topics related to Su Yun, especially CP topics...
Whenever there is a CP war, this classic bad girl emoticon will definitely be used. It has many uses, from instigating discord to calming down a storm to "showing support". In short, it is applicable anytime and anywhere, and can be said to be omnipotent.
Of course, those who "expressed support" were undoubtedly mostly people who just wanted to watch the excitement and not worry about the consequences, as well as stock speculators who hoped that "Marie Sue could spend more time playing with male stars"...
It is only Su Yun's special attribute that allows her to gain good popularity among passers-by every time she becomes the target of a new scandal - people can never be perfect and liked by everyone, but money definitely can.
Apart from those CP fans who have their own choices and will be furious, the attitude of the majority of the public towards Su Yun's new scandal and the new scandal target is mostly positive.
Oh no, Marie Sue has time to play with male stars again, so the stocks I/my family/my relatives/my friends bought recently are expected to "rise"!
Although melon is delicious, money is more real!
Su Yun was also quite amused by this phenomenon, but considering that it basically had only benefits and no harm, she did not hinder it and instead helped to promote it overtly and covertly - just consider it as free publicity and the popularity was worth it.
The only slight trouble is that I need to give some corresponding compensation to some jealous people who got wind of the news. I have to find opportunities to make long-distance calls, surprise visits to the set, thoughtful gifts, etc., to minimize the possibility of jealousy.
However, they are quite self-aware and know that they cannot reach the final result now, so they try to avoid meeting and cooperating as much as possible to save each other's face.
After finishing her long-distance phone calls with Zhuang Long and Zhang Querong who were studying opera in the capital, Su Yun pressed her temples to refresh herself. Then, while drinking water from her thermos, she called Chen Boyang to invite him for afternoon tea tomorrow.
As for Tom, this poor kid who has to work from one film crew to another and can't stop at all, she should wait until she goes to Hollywood to start filming and then find a chance to give him a surprise.
After confirming the next schedule, Su Yun continued to focus on the large pile of documents on her desk: since she finally got enough support and began to integrate the Hong Kong film industry, she received an endless stream of various film plans, development plans, rectification proposals and other related documents every day. They all wanted to get some opinions and replies from her before she left Hong Kong to film again, so that they could make more money from their next actions.
He Pingsi came over with some midnight snacks and saw Su Yun with a messy head biting a pen while reading a document. She couldn't help laughing: "If I take a picture of you like this and post it out, I wonder how many 'new products' I can sell..."
"There's no other way. I go out to make money, and these people make money here. I have to take care of both sides, lest they do anything to me behind my back." Su Yun put down his pen, feeling helpless.
"Thank you for your hard work." He Pingsi opened the insulated lunch box of midnight snack, "Here, bird's nest with rock sugar, it's the best nourishment for you."
Su Yun thanked him, and then naturally enjoyed being fed by He Pingsi.
Looking at the pile of concept scene drawings in Su Yun's hand, He Pingsi sighed as she fed him: "It's hard for you to eat these things."
"It's great. I've been preparing for this for a long, long time." Su Yun looked down at the concept scenes of the "Resident Evil" film series. "I have comedies, action films, romance films, and art films that need to win awards. I have people to help me 'take on' them. It's time for me to let go and try 'horror', a genre that is still quite difficult now - it is a commercial box office artifact that is in no way inferior to comedy and action."
