Chapter 444 Beautify
Although the organizers and the Hong Kong government tried hard to conceal the matter of the international jewelry exhibition and the transaction between thieves, the news still spread everywhere like wildfire.
Liang Jiafeng was struggling to come up with the third installment of "The Queen of Treasures" and had been running out of material and inspiration. Upon learning of this, he slapped his thigh and immediately approached Hu Xiaoxiao to inquire about the details of the international jewelry exhibition.
"Do you want to write the script for the third part based on what happened at the International Jewelry Exhibition?" Hu Xiaoxiao wondered if it was feasible.
Liang Jiafeng shared his idea with Hu Xiaoxiao: "The protagonist, Yunxiao, borrows from Sister Xiao's image. It's about a thief sneaking into a jewelry exhibition and stealing jewelry. Madam Yunxiao is called upon to take charge, disguised as a model, and enter the jewelry exhibition, engaging in a series of exciting battles of wits and courage with the thieves. To facilitate the participation of our own artists, I'm considering changing the International Jewelry Exhibition to the Baogang Jewelry Exhibition to reduce the presence of foreign characters..."
Liang Jiafeng's ideas flowed like a spring, and he became more and more excited as he spoke. This theme, coupled with the rumors about the jewelry exhibition, was bound to be another box office hit.
There's so much crime in Hong Kong and Taiwan, so as long as you're making a police film, you don't have to worry about running out of material or an audience. With the first two installments being such a hit, the third installment should have a solid base.
Hu Xiaoxiao thought it was feasible, but Jingfang had made a major mistake during the International Jewelry Exhibition, even infiltrating the ICPO. It was a scandal. "Give me a few days to think about it."
Although he said he was considering it, Hu Xiaoxiao actually planned to ask Steven for his opinion. The security of the jewelry exhibition was presided over by Steven, and as a friend, he must say hello to him first.
Another reason was that she was a legislator and had finally helped restore the reputation of Baogang at an international jewelry exhibition. How could this film be made to maximize the benefits? It would not only add a glorious chapter to her legislative resume, but also enhance Baogang's image through the film, and at the very least, increase the confidence of Baogang residents.
The election for the Legislative Council is about to begin. Hu Xiaoxiao is ambitious and is determined to win the first term of Legislative Council members of the new Hong Kong government.
It just so happened that Steven's affairs had finally come to an end, and he called to invite Hu Xiaoxiao to dinner.
The two met at the old place, ordered some dishes, and after tea was served, they talked about the finishing work after the International Jewelry Exhibition.
"I heard a lot of inside stories about the jewelry exhibition," Hu Xiaoxiao said. "The mistakes weren't your fault at all, but I didn't expect you would have to bear the consequences in the end."
As a participant in the jewelry show and familiar with the people at Quanfu Jewelry, Hu Xiaoxiao knew more inside information than others.
Hu Xiaoxiao felt sorry for Steven. Those White people's meddling allowed the ICPO insiders to exploit the situation. Not only did they steal the defense map, but they also locked the command center. The ICPO insiders colluded with various thief gangs to create such a huge blunder, but the White people who messed up the operation were not punished at all, and Steven took the blame.
Steven had calmed down and said, "Thankfully, with your help, we were able to recover a lot of the losses, which can be considered as making amends."
The top management of Baogang is basically managed by foreigners. No matter how high Steven's position is, he has to obey their orders. Even if he is dissatisfied, Steven can only endure it for a while.
"Just wait until those foreigners leave." Hu Xiaoxiao took a sip of tea and said to Steven, "Steven, work harder and become the first leader of the new Hong Kong government. Then you will be the one calling the shots."
"Thank you for your kind words." Steven was naturally ambitious, and his abilities were among the best among his colleagues. "You helped me this time, and I'll report your contribution."
Hu Xiaoxiao smiled as she heard this. With Jingfang's records as proof, her resume would look even better.
Steven also laughed. He could tell that Hu Xiaoxiao was quite ambitious. "I know someone in the Legislative Council. If you want to run for a seat, I can help you get votes."
Hu Xiaoxiao is not a polite person. She didn't say anything like "I'm so sorry" or "Is it too much trouble for you?" She just said, "Then it's settled."
Every vote she could muster was a sure win. Why was she being polite? Aren't friends and relationships meant for this kind of situation? Isn't this the time to bother them?
Steven nodded with a smile, but did not tell Hu Xiaoxiao that when he knew she was running for district councilor, he knew her ambition and had been keeping an eye on her connections there.
After dinner, Hu Xiaoxiao talked to Steven about the filming of the third part of "The Queen of Hong Kong".
"...Jing Fang will definitely feel bad about it and be unwilling to cooperate, but that's okay. The movie will be artistically processed and beautify some aspects. For example, if it was originally their negligence that allowed the thieves to exploit the loophole, our script will be changed to make it so that Jing Fang took the initiative and deliberately fell for it to lure the thieves out..."
In short, all the loopholes they exposed were glorified as Jing Fang's strategic planning and everything being under control.
Steven was drinking tea. When he heard this, he accidentally choked on his tea and said, "Don't be so exaggerated. Everyone knows what's going on."
Hu Xiaoxiao disagreed, saying, "When you say everyone, I'm referring to a small number of people who know about this. Most people don't know. Movies are a form of media and have a huge impact on publicity. Even if there are some negative reports, they still need positive guidance. Once the public loses confidence in the Hong Kong government, your future public security management will face great challenges. Moreover, in the case of the International Jewelry Exhibition, you were fighting against several forces. Baogang is a small place, so achieving this result is already remarkable. Otherwise, ICPO would not have specially awarded you, and Baogang's reputation in the international community would not have suffered any damage."
A warm feeling welled up in Steven's heart. He knew full well that Hu Xiaoxiao was trying to help him. "Have the screenwriter bring the script outline over. If there are no problems, then have Jing Fang cooperate with you in filming."
Hu Xiaoxiao was overjoyed, "The screenwriter is already writing it and will give it to you in a few days."
If Jingfang cooperates, the scene will be bigger and the effect of the filming will be better.
With Steven's help, the film quickly gained support and Hu Xiaoxiao immediately began preparations.
The background of this movie is a jewelry exhibition, and a lot of jewelry will be shown in the movie, but the international jewelry exhibition has ended, many jewelers have left, and no jewelry materials can be found.
If you want to show the effect of a jewelry exhibition, you must find a way to build a jewelry exhibition hall for the shooting. Fortunately, the background was changed to the Baogang Jewelry Exhibition instead of the International Jewelry Exhibition, so it didn't matter if the jewelry was a little lower quality.
Hu Xiaoxiao first thought of the jewelry she had collected over the years. After going back and counting them, she was shocked. She had so many jewelry that she could set up an independent exhibition hall.
