Lao Qi's rise to fame is inseparable from Chu Yu. This year, Madam Hua called Chu Yu, wanting her martial arts school brothers to go to Hong Kong to work as martial arts instructors and stunt doubles. Chu Yu agreed to her request, allowing the martial arts school disciples to appear in movies.
The martial arts school's students are skilled in martial arts and willing to endure hardship, so Zhong Buyi is generous in giving them screen time.
After several films, two people have stood out and become what you'd call top-notch supporting actors.
Mrs. Hua's demands were not high; she just wanted everyone to have food to eat, money to earn, a house to buy, and a wife to get married.
This year, Chu Yu plans to put all the newcomers she signed with reality shows into movies and TV series and launch them to the market together.
She gave them all the same resources: good songs, good roles, and good promotion. If they wanted to make it big, they had to rely on their own efforts and abilities.
Those who can make it big will get better resources. These young people work very hard, spending every day at the company learning acting, singing, physical fitness, and culture.
The artists who survive the competition in reality shows, even if they are from ordinary backgrounds, are indeed different in ability. They can act as soon as they are sent to the film crew and sing as soon as they are sent to the stage. They don't need much training at all, and their professional skills are very strong.
Chu Yu was quite satisfied with this group of young people.
She recognized a familiar face in the group.
"Jiang Lai!" Chu Yu looked at his assistant beside him, "Who is this young man?"
The assistant flipped through Jiang Lai's information. "She also came from a reality show. Her family wasn't well-off, and she wasn't the most outstanding in appearance, but she was hardworking and managed to carve out her own path through hard work. Many viewers support her and think Jiang Lai is a very positive person and an idol for all young people."
“This young man is indeed quite good, and he looks rather fashionable. Give him some resources and let him give it a try.”
In her previous life, Jiang Lai also ventured beyond Asia.
However, Asian stars as a whole are not making a splash in Hollywood, and Jiang Lai is no exception. She acted in a few movies in Hollywood, but ultimately did not make much of a splash.
But this at least proves that Jiang Lai has the potential to go global, and Chu Yu, as a capital entity, needs such an influential star.
"Contact the top composers in Hong Kong more often, buy more songs for them to sing. If acting doesn't work, try singing; if singing doesn't work, try acting; if neither works, try shooting commercials or being a model. In short, give them more opportunities, and whether they succeed or not is up to them."
After dealing with Hua Lai's matter, Chu Yu took some time to meet with Zhang Ying.
Zhang Ying hadn't seen Chu Yu for a long time. Chu Yu was even more dazzling and beautiful than before. Every time Zhang Ying saw her, she felt delighted and wished she could pluck the stars and moon from the sky and give them to Chu Yu.
"Hey you, it's been so long since I've seen you, you've almost forgotten about me, haven't you?"
Chu Yu smiled, "How could I forget you? I finally came back, so I contacted you, didn't I? By the way, what have you and your man been busy with lately?"
At Chu Yu's suggestion, Zhang Ying and her husband decided to go out and do some other work. They set their sights on import and export trade. They heard that some countries were in short supply of their small commodities, so they wanted to ship small commodities from China to foreign countries.
Her husband spent several months abroad trying to make connections, and now their monthly trade volume is very stable.
“Last month I went to Africa to sell things and made some money. Things are expensive there, and our second-hand clothes are very popular there.”
“I went to Russia again this month. They also lack light industrial products there. My husband travels back and forth between the two countries. Every time he goes, he brings back a lot of things and exchanges them for money. He makes quite a bit of money.”
Chu Yu never expected that the two of them would choose to work in foreign trade.
However, foreign trade has indeed been very profitable in recent years.
"Then why don't you stick to one place? If you're selling secondhand clothes, then stick to that. There aren't many secondhand clothing buyers in China right now. If you can grow your business, you'll definitely make money."
Zhang Ying also thought secondhand clothes were a good option. In fact, they didn't necessarily have to be secondhand. After many factories went bankrupt, their goods couldn't be sold. Zhang Ying could buy the goods at the lowest price and then sell them abroad at a higher price.
However, most people in China are not well-off, and there are not many second-hand clothes available, so Zhang Ying could not acquire a large supply of goods.
Zhang Ying wore a platinum necklace and a large diamond ring, indicating that she had earned a considerable amount of money.
She's increasingly exuding the aura of a strong, independent woman.
"Don't you run any business yourself?" Chu Yu asked.
Zhang Ying was taken aback. "Me?"
"Yes, you are from the Computer Science Department of Tsinghua University. Your husband works in foreign trade and can hire a few employees to help him. You don't need to follow him around in everything. With such a high level of education, I always feel it's a pity that you don't start your own business."
If Chu Yu hadn't said anything, Zhang Ying wouldn't have realized it. But seeing Chu Yu and Li Miao getting along better and better, Zhang Ying was quite envious. However, she really didn't know what she could do.
"I can't exactly go into the computer field, can I?"
Chu Yu glanced at her, "Why not?"
Zhang Ying was stunned. The domestic computer industry hadn't even started yet. How could someone like her possibly develop the computer industry?
Chu Yu had said all she could say; she couldn't very well teach someone how to do business step by step, could she?
Besides, Zhang Ying has children to take care of, and if she doesn't want to do it, no one can force her to.
Chu Yu had another important task during her trip to Beijing: to investigate the city's real estate market.
It was now mid-1989, and Chu Yu's real estate sales in Shenzhen and Nanhai were booming. Unfortunately, this trend had not yet reached Shanghai and Beijing. At that time, the real estate market price in Shanghai and Beijing was between 1,600 and 2,200 yuan per square meter, and several companies were developing real estate in these cities.
