Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 304 Who is Little Dragon Girl?

Since Hong Kong's return to China, it has become much easier for mainlanders to travel to Hong Kong Island.

This is also due to the fact that people's living standards have improved again.

In the early 1990s, people had just started to have enough to eat, and a monthly salary of a little over one hundred yuan was considered quite good after a month of hard work.

But the average wage in Hong Kong is already four or five thousand.

Currently, the salary of mainlanders has reached around 800, while that figure remains the same in Hong Kong.

With the improvement of living standards, things are changing every day in China, especially in the southeastern coastal cities.

Cao Jian returned to Guangzhou. Although he had only been away for a while, the city had changed dramatically.

"The mainland is developing really fast."

Even Jackie Chan, when he visited Guangzhou, expressed such sentiments.

"The country's development will be even better in the future, which is why I started to focus my work on the mainland."

Cao Jian, who has been full of confidence for more than ten years, said with a smile: "I have nothing to do today, so I'll go and take a look at my factory first."

"That's what I meant."

Jackie Chan knew that Cao Jian owned a VCD manufacturer, but he had never visited it and was always curious about the factory's capabilities.

Upon arriving at the industrial zone, the kung fu star was astonished by the scale of the factories before him.

Now, after several years of development, Mr. Cao's factory covers an area of ​​over a thousand acres and has more than five thousand employees. The factory is equipped with all kinds of supporting facilities, just like a large community.

"What a huge factory."

Jackie Chan clicked his tongue in praise and said, "I never expected that someone who makes movies would be even more capable than I imagined."

Cao Jian laughed and said, "Making movies is a hobby, but running a company is just to make a living."

"Makes sense."

Jackie Chan wanted to be like Boss Cao, but he knew he wasn't cut out for it.

"Hi boss."

At this moment, a white-collar woman in business attire walked over, greeted Cao Jian first, and then said to Jackie Chan, "Brother Jackie Chan, welcome to visit."

"You...you're not."

Jackie Chan's eyes widened in surprise when he saw the beautiful woman before him. "Aren't you the Miss Hong Kong winner from a few years ago? What are you doing here?"

"Being a Miss Hong Kong is a thing of the past; I am now Mr. Cao's employee."

Guo Aiming smiled politely and invited the two into the office building.

"Awesome, truly amazing!"

Jackie Chan looked at the former Miss Hong Kong, now a white-collar worker under Cao Jian, and his admiration was beyond words.

"Such a small mobile phone?"

But when the three of them went upstairs and saw the latest mobile phone in the product display area, Jackie Chan was stunned once again.

Modern mobile phones are not only bulky, but also very large.

The phone in front of me not only had no cover, but was also small and exquisite, with a silver-white casing that looked very beautiful and dazzling under the light.

"How about it? This is our latest mobile phone, which we just developed. It will be available in three months."

Cao Jian arranged the audition in Guangzhou so that he could come back and check out the latest mobile phone model.

The VCD market is basically only five or six years away from survival; mobile phones are his future strategy, and he also plans to build the company into a true technology company.

Technology equals money. With money, you won't have to be subservient to others in the entertainment industry.

"It weighs only a little over ninety grams."

Looking at this phone that had never been seen before on the market, Jackie Chan excitedly said, "Brother Cao, can I endorse this phone for you?"

"you?"

Cao Jian almost laughed.

Jackie Chan is indeed an international superstar and has endorsed many brands, but 90% of the products he endorsed either disappeared or became infamous.

How could I dare to let him endorse my products?

To avoid embarrassing Jackie Chan, he smiled and said, "I will personally endorse this phone."

"Well, your reputation is indeed greater than mine now."

Mr. Cao himself is endorsing his own product, so Jackie Chan has nothing to say.

He himself is an international kung fu superstar, but Boss Cao is no less impressive.

Especially since they will be playing in the World Cup next year.

But Mr. Cao knew that he didn't even need to wait for the World Cup; as long as "Titanic" was released, his name would spread all over the world.

After touring the place, on the way back, Jackie Chan said, "Brother Cao, you have such a large business, why do you still work so hard making movies?"

"If you don't act, it's not easy to date a celebrity."

"It makes sense."

Jackie Chan laughed and said, "You're really straightforward, unlike some people who want women but pretend to be too shy to say it. I like that about you." "Don't like me, I'm only interested in beautiful women."

Cao Jian joked, asking, "Jackie Chan, after filming 'Rush Hour,' what's next?"

"The company has arranged a film, which will be shot in Africa soon, called 'Who Am I'."

"Oh."

The movie "Who Am I" is similar to Jackie Chan's previous films, so it doesn't offer much new ideas. Although it did well at the box office, its reputation and ratings were really just average.

However, his later films, "New Police Story" and "The Myth," received good reviews and had a positive impact.

However, the special effects required for the film "The Myth" are very high, and domestic special effects technology cannot meet the requirements. If it is to be filmed, foreign technology will be needed.

After a moment's thought, he realized that this film might help improve the level of special effects in China.

Also, there's a beautiful Korean woman in this movie!
Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "You should know that my hometown has the world-famous Terracotta Army, which suddenly gave me an idea for a script related to the Terracotta Army."

Jackie Chan immediately asked, "A movie script? Can I act in it?"

“We’re brothers, of course we can. I’ll make you the protagonist in this script.”

"Good brother, that's a true friend!"

Jackie Chan almost wanted to become sworn brothers with Cao Jian.

A person who is rich and loyal is a good brother.

Teaching him that kung fu back then was absolutely the right thing to do.

I just don't know which women will be lucky enough to catch his eye.

The next day, casting for the TV series "Spring Bright Pigsy" began in Guangzhou.

Although this drama has caused quite a stir in the entertainment industry recently, after Mr. Cao's screening, not many people were actually able to participate in the audition.

Moreover, the main actors were already in Cao Jian's mind; the auditions were just to see if he could discover some more good actors.

As a result, apart from Gao Yuanyuan who was somewhat famous, the others were all future third-tier or lower-tier stars, and they didn't catch Boss Cao's eye at all.

"Brother Cao, what exactly does the Little Dragon Girl you're talking about look like? Quickly call her out so we can see her."

Xiaolongnu is the female lead in "The Return of the Condor Heroes," a very famous character. The first thing that comes to mind when you hear her name is that she is a great beauty.

Cao Jian's version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes," with Li Ruotong as Xiaolongnu, was even praised by Jin Yong as the best version.

What kind of girl is worthy of this name?

"Is this Little Dragon Girl?"

When the first girl named Zeng Li walked in front of the camera, Jackie Chan's eyes lit up.

This girl is very beautiful and has a great temperament. He thinks she must be Little Dragon Girl.

Unexpectedly, Cao Jian shook his head and said, "No, she is the Second Dragon Girl."

"Wow, even the Second Dragon Girl is this beautiful?"

Jackie Chan's anticipation for Little Dragon Girl grew even stronger.

"Li Zi? You're not going to let her play Little Dragon Girl? She's pretty, but..."

In Jackie Chan's memory, Li Zi is the kind of actress who can be innocent, charming, and ruthless.

With that kind of temperament, she's a bit out of place playing Little Dragon Girl.

"She is a cat demon."

"Cat demon?"

Jackie Chan also felt that Li Zi was indeed quite enchanting, and that she was perfectly suited to play a monster.

If the two supporting characters are so beautiful, just how beautiful is Little Dragon Girl?
Just as he was speculating, an incredibly pure-looking girl slowly walked out.

Although the girl was young, she had snow-white skin and watery eyes, looking as pure as a daffodil.

"This must be Little Dragon Girl? Cao Jian is really good at picking actors!"

Upon seeing the girl, Jackie Chan, who has a penchant for beautiful women, was visibly horrified, but he knew that such a beauty must belong to Boss Cao.

Sure enough, Cao Jian introduced, "This is the actress who plays Xiaolongnu, named Dong Jie."

"I'm convinced, I'm truly convinced."

Jackie Chan never understood why Cao Jian's movies were so popular. It turns out that every actor was carefully selected.

"hehe."

Cao Jian also has a positive view of Dong Jie.

In terms of looks, this girl is in no way inferior to Liu Yifei.

That means you'll end up hurting yourself in the future.

Now that he's signed with his own company, if he's properly trained, he'll definitely be no worse than Liu Yifei in the future.

He would definitely be better than Tao Hong at playing Xiaolongnu.

With those big, watery eyes, it's definitely the perfect match. And if he gently says "Brother Pig," wouldn't it make people's hearts ache?
But I'm so protective of this girl, I don't know if she'll be sensible enough.
