Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 243 Can this kind of phone really be manufactured?
Just as Wang Jing had predicted, Rumble in the Bronx became a hit in the United States, reminding many people of the conflict between Wang Jing and Cao Jian.

To many, Qiu Shuzhen's decision to leave Wang Jing for Cao Jian was a wise one.

Cao Jian's influence in the film industry has increased once again.

But how could Wang Jing accept such a thing?

"You stole my woman, so I'll steal yours!"

Cao Jian has filmed quite a few movies recently, including "Rumble in the Bronx" which has already been released, as well as "Young and Dangerous" and "Forensic Heroes".

Wang Jing has just written a screenplay called "High Risk".

This movie is meant to satirize Jackie Chan, with whom I have a history of conflict, and also to undermine the reputation of "Rumble in the Bronx".

In this movie, the female lead is a sexy female reporter, a role that would have been most suitable for Chingmy Yau.

But now, Qiu Shuzhen has been snatched away by Cao Jian.

In that case, let's find Vivian Chow.

Perhaps, he could also snatch this woman who had been rumored to have had some affairs with Cao Jian.

Wang Jing believes that Zhou Huimin would find it difficult to refuse the leading lady role due to its allure.

If we can make a move on set, that would be best. Even if we can't, we can still create some rumors with her to make Cao Jian lose face.

Even if Zhou Huimin refuses, there are still Wang Zuxian, Zhu Yin, and Wang Fei.
Although Wang Fei has not been rumored to have a romantic relationship with Cao Jian, Cao Jian wrote all of her best songs. It would be strange if the two of them had no connection.

Even if there isn't one, we'll make it up bit by bit.

Are all these people going to reject me?

That's completely impossible.

Thinking of this, a smug expression appeared on Wang Jing's chubby face.

……

"Ah Zhen, many newspapers are saying that you made a good choice by marrying me. What do you think?"

Before leaving Hong Kong, Cao Jian naturally wanted to spend time with all the women.

Qiu Shuzhen, covered in fragrant sweat, clung to Cao Jian like a smooth, beautiful snake: "I was deceived by you. I thought you would marry me, but now it seems I'm just a mistress."

"you are not willing?"

"I'm willing, as long as I can have your child."

Of course, Chiu Shu-chen couldn't bear to part with Tsao Chien. In fact, she didn't care about being his mistress, as long as he loved her.

After exchanging sweet nothings for a while, she asked, "Honey, how much box office do you think a movie like 'Young and Dangerous' can make?"

"Rumble in the Bronx is generating a lot of buzz right now. Given this level of popularity, Young and Dangerous should gross around 40 million."

"So you knew all along that 'Rumble in the Bronx' would be a success in the US, and deliberately postponed its release by two days. You're so cunning."

"If I am a fox, then you are a fox spirit."

Cao Jian, realizing his little scheme had been seen through, laughed and said, "Come on, you vixen, give me a flirtatious look."

The Spring Festival in 1995 was on January 30th.

On January 25, "Rumble in the Bronx" finished its run with HK$57.8 million, becoming the highest-grossing film of the year in Hong Kong, surpassing Wong Jing's "God of Gamblers II".

Meanwhile, it has already grossed $20 million at the box office in the United States.

On the same day, another of Cao Jian's works, "Young and Dangerous," was released.

Some film industry experts were not optimistic about this work, feeling that the comic was too violent and contained too much profanity.

However, after its release, influenced by "Rumble in the Bronx", it earned 2.9 million on its first day alone.

This result far exceeded Cao Jian's expectations.

Moreover, viewers found the film very interesting, especially the relationship between brothers like Ho-nam and Chicken, which is talked about by many young people.

This has once again stirred up Hong Kong's entertainment industry.

The previous movie was a hit, and now this movie is a hit too. It's just outrageous.

Aren't you encouraging young people to become gangsters?
Cao Jian ignored these comments and, after learning about the box office results for the first day, took two women and prepared to return to the mainland.

But as soon as he stepped out of his house, he was surrounded by reporters.

"Mr. Cao, the newspapers say that the movie 'Young and Dangerous' should be pulled from theaters, otherwise it will corrupt young people. What do you think?"

"Even without this movie, are there few gangsters in Hong Kong?"

When faced with a reporter's question, Cao Jian casually retorted, then said, "Actually, I made this movie to tell young people in Hong Kong that gangsters aren't as glamorous as they seem. Therefore, this is actually an anti-gangster movie."

"really?"

"Of course, the 'Young and Dangerous' series I made is a three-part film series. You'll see when you watch it."

In his heart, Cao Jian had already revised the ending of the Young and Dangerous series. In the third installment, Chan Ho-nam and Chicken, tired of the fighting and killing, wanted to retire from the underworld, but the people in the gang wouldn't allow it.

In the end, his brothers died tragically, leaving only Chan Ho-nam.

After avenging his brother, he killed his opponent but was also seriously injured. In the end, he tried to leave Hong Kong, but a bomb was planted on his ship.

As for whether he's dead or not, that's left for the audience to guess.

He felt that this would not only be enjoyable, but also allow the audience to see the cruelty of the martial arts world.

As for whether he can prevent young people from imitating him, he really has no control over that. Just like he said, without this movie, where would the gangs in Hong Kong still be?

"This person is really arrogant."

"There's nothing we can do; talented people are all like that."

With reporters watching, Cao Jian, along with Chen Hong and Li Xiaoran, returned to the mainland.

Wang Fei originally wanted to go back home for the Lunar New Year, but unfortunately her father was in Hong Kong, so she had to stay.

Upon returning to the mainland, Cao Jian's first action was to visit a VCD factory.

In the past two years, as people's incomes have increased, the average person's salary has risen from two or three hundred in the early 1990s to four or five hundred.

In the south, some can even earn eight hundred or a thousand.

As people's lives gradually improve, color TVs and VCD players are becoming more and more common.

Therefore, Feiyan VCDs have sold very well in the past two years.

With strong financial support, the communications sector, under Guo Aiming's leadership, has made progress, and the company has successfully developed a mobile phone prototype.

"The phone is not bad, it's just a bit big."

Upon arriving at the company, Cao Jian's first task was to visit the R&D center, but he was not satisfied with the first mobile phone, which was still larger than his palm.

"This is small enough."

Guo Aiming was a little unconvinced; she had spent countless days and nights on this one phone.

"It needs to be even smaller."

Cao Jian was also aware that future Motorola and Nokia phones would be much smaller than this one.

"too difficult."

Guo Aiming felt that this man didn't care about her at all.

"Try to overcome it as I ask."

Cao Jian put down the phone he was working on and said, "Also, it doesn't have to be a flip phone; a flat-screen phone would look better."

After stating his request, he said to Guo Aiming, "Come with me."

"what?"

Although Guo Aiming was unhappy, she still followed Cao Jian to her office.

"Thank you for your hard work during this time."

Upon entering the room, undisturbed by anyone else, Cao Jian embraced Guo Aiming tightly and said softly, "Actually, I know you've worked very hard."

"Humph!"

Upon hearing the man's words, Guo Aiming's heart softened immediately, and her previous displeasure quickly dissipated, though she still retained a touch of pride.

"There's no other way. Mobile phones are the future trend, and I want to launch a mobile phone that can amaze the world before the millennium."

Cao Jian sat in a chair, put his arm around Guo Aiming, picked up a piece of paper, and casually drew the shape of his ideal cell phone.

"Flips up? The screen is on the flip cover?"

When Guo Aiming saw Cao Jian's design drawings, she couldn't believe that mobile phones could be made like this.
But her shock had only just begun when she saw Cao Jian draw on the paper the Nokia 8250 that Dao Ming Si gave to Shan Cai in "Meteor Garden".

Because of this TV series, this phone became the king of phones that year, and nearly 200 million units were sold that year.

This phone was released around the turn of the millennium.

Cao Jian's goal was to launch this phone before 97 or 98, thus making it a leader in the telecommunications industry.

When filming "Meteor Garden" or other dramas, this phone can also be integrated into the story.

"Can this kind of phone really be manufactured?"

Guo Aiming stared blankly at the phone on the paper, completely stunned.

How did her man come up with these designs?

After a long pause, she murmured, "Husband, you're a genius."

"Come on, let your genius husband love you a little."

Without saying a word, Cao Jian lifted up Guo Aiming's clothes.
