Jin Shengwu wanted to give this diamond to Zhao Yazhi. To be honest, everyone present was shocked, because the price of this diamond would most likely exceed the box office of the movie they shot.
Zhao Yazhi didn't dare to accept such an expensive gift easily.
She didn't quite believe that the other party had no ulterior motives, and believed that most people would make the same decision as Zhao Yazhi. However, because of women's greed, Zhao Yazhi also had a paranoid love for this diamond.
It's just that she is a woman who has seen the world, so she can restrain her desire.
Jin Shengwu has seen countless women in his life, and the gifts he gave were all irresistible, including this diamond.
"Don't worry, I have no quid pro quo for this, I just want it to be worn by someone who deserves it."
Jin Shengwu smiled and handed the diamond to Zhao Yazhi personally.
Wu Changyun forced a smile, but he saw clearly in his heart that this old man was indeed a master in the field of love. He knew how to touch a woman's heart and awaken her rational side.
A wealthy, gentlemanly old man who is willing to pay for them, any sensible woman would not refuse such a man.
At first, Wu Changyun also looked at this matter with a critical eye, but later, he realized that it was just a personal choice.
"Old man, you are really generous." Wu Changyun exclaimed.
"Yes, but unfortunately, I can't accept such an expensive gift."
To everyone's surprise, Zhao Yazhi returned the diamond. A second before she put the diamond back into the glass cabinet, everyone was still suspecting that Zhao Yazhi was just being polite.
Until she locked the glass cabinet with her own hands, no one could take the diamond away unless Jin Shengwu opened it with the key again.
"Are you sure?"
Jin Shengwu looked at the beauty in front of him with some confusion, even to the point of disbelief.
Even Brigitte Lin was surprised. Just now she was just envious. If it were her, would she have the courage to return the diamond? Or would she even need to do so?
"What a pity." Brigitte Lin murmured.
In fact, Brigitte Lin was born with a unique temperament, but Mr. Jin Shengwu prefers a sweet style, and he would never do such a low EQ thing as giving her away again.
"It seems that Miss Zhao has very high standards." Jin Shengwu said with a wry smile.
Until they left the house and finished filming, Wu Changyun had very few opportunities to communicate with Zhao Yazhi privately. It was only after she flew back to Hong Kong that Zhao Yazhi became lively again.
"What's wrong? Do you regret it?"
Wu Changyun looked at the company's income in the past few days, including the performance fees brought by Huang Zhengli, Zeng Jiang and Xu Shaoxiong.
Recently, Wu Mengda has started to play guest roles in other film companies, of course, this was with Wu Changyun's approval. Chang Sihu's fried chicken business is so prosperous that it can even surpass McDonald's, which is what surprises Wu Changyun the most.
I heard that this guy hired a master's degree holder who returned from studying in the UK and provided great help in business.
If he had time, Wu Changyun really wanted to meet this college student.
"I don't regret it at all. I was planning to ask you which theaters our movie will be shown in, since things are so bad between you and Golden Harvest."
"I'll take all of them except Golden Harvest."
Zhao Yazhi sighed. She was somewhat skeptical about Wu Changyun's approach. In her opinion, it was not worth it.
Even if there are many cinema chains besides Golden Harvest, it will be difficult for these cinema chains to negotiate prices due to Wu Changyun's unfavorable situation, and they will definitely suffer losses.
"It doesn't matter. The industry standard is only 50%. I can handle it."
Wu Changyun admitted that even if the theaters took a 50% cut, he still had the ability to maintain the company's plans for tomorrow.
The current battle is mainly to win Golden Harvest at the box office, so that the other party will realize that they have to stand on the same level to negotiate with Wu Changyun, so that they have something to talk about.
"Is this really necessary?"
"Well, for the time being, we have no chance of winning in the competition of capital. Even if we are not restricted in the theaters, we will be suppressed in other areas." In this regard, Wu Changyun's thinking has never changed. A blacksmith must be strong himself.
This year is the year with the most uncertainties since Wu Changyun started his business.
Jackie Chan's two films this year will change the future action movie market and make this type of film more popular. The prison film and "The Handmaiden" that Wu Changyun released this year are both relatively novel themes.
Rather than a competition of content, it is more about which subject matter is more attractive to the audience.
It will also lead the direction of Hong Kong films in the next few years. As a hot topic figure, Wu Changyun has recently received frequent interview invitations from TVB.
Of course, Wu Changyun would not miss the opportunity to warm up for the Lunar New Year holiday, so he naturally agreed.
Unexpectedly, in addition to Wu Changyun and Lin Qingxia, the invitees this time also included Lo Wei from Golden Harvest and Chu Yuan from Shaw Brothers.
Among them, Chu Yuan is the most famous, Wu Changyun's title is a new director, and Lo Wei, who is 60 years old this year, can be considered a veteran director. He discovered Bruce Lee and invited Chan Kong-sang back. It's just that he has a lot of negative news.
Everyone must have something to say about their company's new film.
Brigitte Lin became a breath of fresh air in the crowd. Whenever the atmosphere became awkward, the host would make a joke about her.
"Everyone has prepared their best works this year. I wonder who will be the box office champion this year." The host began to speak according to the pre-written topic.
At this time, Luo Wei interrupted and said, "Why ask? Aren't we all sitting here? Isn't the answer obvious?"
As soon as he said this, Chu Yuan's expression next to him instantly turned ugly.
This sounds as if Wu Changyun is the only one present who has the ability. Chu Yuan has also won the first place in the box office, but it was earlier.
"The film industry is like a fashionable thing, with new things coming out every year. Similarly, being able to grasp the trend of the times requires considerable vision and level of expertise."
There was nothing wrong with what Chu Yuan said, and it pulled the situation back from the brink of embarrassment.
"As a senior like Director Chu who has been in the industry for a long time, I hope you can tell us what your attitude is towards the films of your juniors?" asked the host.
This question is more topical and can at least increase the ratings.
"Well." Chu Yuan paused. He actually hadn't watched the entire movie directed by Wu Changyun. He just watched the beginning and felt that he understood the other party's filming style and the general plot, but he didn't know much about the rest.
"Let me ask you first, have you ever seen Director Wu's movies? For example, A Better Tomorrow."
"To be honest, no." Chu Yuan smiled awkwardly.
