Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 171 "171" Autobiographical Film Craze

To be honest, the life story of Broken Tooth Giant is not easy to film.

It's even harder to take a standout shot.

However, Director Wang's student is quite capable. Combining Lin Yao's previous interview with Broken Tooth Giant, he created a story structure based on a follow-up interview, which is quite innovative.

However, this is ultimately a biographical film, and the real-life person who inspired it is still alive.

The director didn't have much room to maneuver; if he tried to add any plot elements, he would easily be killed by the Broken Tooth Giant. The overall plot was rather straightforward, with no fresh plot designs.

However, the movie's hype overshadowed these shortcomings.

In Lin Yao's opinion, it was just barely passing.

This has nothing to do with the director; it's purely due to other reasons.

However, it's definitely enough to fool laymen like Broken Tooth Giant.

Anyway, Broken Tooth Giant was watching very seriously, as if he was recalling his glorious past.

The actor chosen by Director Wong is quite good. Although he doesn't resemble Broken Tooth Giant at all, he portrayed a gang leader very well, at least above the professional level.

In short, Broken Tooth Giant was quite satisfied with this autobiographical film.

"How is it, Brother Ju?" Lin Yao asked with a smile.

Broken Tooth Giant nodded: "Well done! Help me send the director a big red envelope! I really admire him!"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "Don't worry, with such a big hype surrounding the movie, it should be able to break even, and maybe even make a small profit!"

Broken Tooth Giant laughed loudly: "Then I'm already very satisfied!"

Broken Tooth Giant never intended to make money from movies, so it didn't matter if it lost money.

However, he was naturally very happy to be able to make money.

After watching the movie, the two found a quiet place to talk.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yao took the Broken Tooth Giant to a bar.

This bar was nothing like the chaotic places Lin Yao had been to before; in fact, the decor was understated, sophisticated, and quite artistic.

Even the music played in the bars was soft, light music or piano pieces.

Looking at Lin Yao's bar, Broken Tooth Giant said with some surprise, "When did you start liking this kind of vibe? It's strangely quiet!"

Lin Yao's bar is the kind that caters specifically to white-collar workers and the petit bourgeoisie, and the prices are quite expensive.

It's impossible for it to be as chaotic as those nightclubs and discos.

"We're targeting different customers, so we can't all have the same style!" Lin Yao said with a smile. "If you're interested, you could open a bar like this to cater to some high-end clients!"

Broken Tooth Giant waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'm just a roughneck, I can't handle this kind of thing!"

"The Twins Hotel is all set up. Have you figured out how you plan to run it?"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "I've had this idea for a while, otherwise I wouldn't have taken it on!"

The Broken Tooth Giant asked curiously, "Tell me about it?"

"Cashmall!" Lin Yao said with a smile.

Broken Tooth Giant frowned and said, "Cashmall, can we really manage with them?"

The junket operator system actually appeared quite early; some people were doing it even in the 1980s.

However, it didn't achieve significant scale, since this industry can be considered a service industry.

You need connections, money, and the ability to protect yourself.

Lin Yao happens to have all three of these qualities, and he also has a wide network of connections in Hong Kong.

They even have a hand in the media, so while they can't promote on a large scale, they can at least get close to it.

I believe the Hong Kong government wouldn't bother itself with such a trivial matter.

Moreover, Lin Yao plans to bring his fruit machine to Macau as a gimmick for the twin casinos.

I believe the first wave should attract quite a few people to come and play.

With great interest, Broken Tooth Giant said to Lin Yao, "If this can really be accomplished, there will be quite a few large water pipes in Hong Kong and Taiwan!"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "That's right, I'm aiming for the wallets of these big water taps!"

Broken Tooth Giant nodded: "But how did you bring these people to Macau? After all, Hong Kong has quite a few underground casinos, right?"

Lin Yao thought for a moment and said, "I'm planning to set up a travel company. Taking people to sightsee in Macau shouldn't be illegal, right? The next step is to compete on service!"

Broken Tooth laughed loudly: "Truly astute! At this age, only Mr. He could be so shrewd!"

"Sigh, I wouldn't dare compare myself to the gambling king!" Lin Yao waved his hand and said.

After chatting with Broken Tooth Giant for a while, he prepared to take his leave.

As for the cooperation, the two of them simply made the decision and had their subordinates handle the contacts. They didn't need to worry about the details at all. Lin Yao's planned tourism company was acquired by Bengya Ju, who bought 30% of the shares.

And they bought it with the money from "Casino Tycoon" quite decisively.

He originally invested in movies just to show off, not to make money.

Buying 30% of a shell company for over 20 million is something only a giant like Broken Tooth would do.

But who can blame him when he's called the local tyrant of Haojiang?
Rich and willful!
After the departure of Broken Tooth Giant, "Casino Tycoon" was still showing in theaters. It was the best biopic among the dwarfs at the time, and it only lost its box office champion position after Hong Ye's new action movie was released.

However, this result is indeed quite good; at least they made a small profit. Following Broken Tooth Giant's instructions, they gave Director Li, Director Wang's apprentice, a large red envelope.

In conclusion, both parties were quite satisfied.

Director Li, perhaps enlightened by the biopic, went straight to Lin Yao and said, "Boss, I feel like this biopic approach has potential!"

Lin Yao said with amusement, "Looks like you have an idea?"

“That’s right. There are so many legendary figures in Hong Kong. We could totally make a film about them, like Crippled Ho, or the Four Great Detectives!” Director Li became more and more excited as he spoke.

Lin Yao was speechless. How did things still develop to this point? Even if there were no celebrities in this world, there were still people eyeing the biopic route.

However, Lin Yao still advised the other party: "When filming this type of character, I advise you to first establish a good relationship with the real person. But Limpy Ho should be a good choice, since he's already dead!"

Director Li immediately said, "Then let's film Crippled Ho first. I feel that his story will definitely be very interesting to film!"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "That's fine. If you want to know any information, you can ask Su Xingbo. That guy knows a lot about this kind of thing!"

"I understand, boss!" Director Li said with a smile.

……

Feng Hua International has changed hands, and it was Lin Yao who took it over.

This left the police force quite frustrated.

The Commercial Crime Investigation Department wanted to continue to cause trouble for Lin Yao, but they were stopped by their superiors.

After all, they had just reconciled with Lin Yao, and they didn't want to provoke such a troublesome guy.

Even the Englishmen were somewhat at a loss with Lin Yao.

The Commercial Crime Investigation Department was even more helpless.

However, there was one person who was quite stubborn, and that was Huang Zhicheng.

Huang Zhicheng had lost patience with his undercover agents, who were not making any moves.

They even suspected that they had defected, so they came to the Wong Chuk Hang Police Academy again to find the undercover agent.

The principal of Huangzhukeng was speechless: "What do you take this place for? A training base for your undercover agents?"

The principal was already quite unhappy that two excellent students had been taken from him.

Ultimately, it was because of the English people behind Huang Zhicheng.

But if this is done repeatedly, even Buddha will get angry.

Huang Zhicheng quickly said, "Old Tan, please help me this one last time!"

"Who have you set your sights on this time?" the principal said, rolling his eyes.

Huang Zhicheng took out the documents and said with a smile, "These two."

"Chen Yongren and Wang Zhicheng?" The principal nodded after seeing their files. "You really know how to pick people!"

"Of course!" Huang Zhicheng said with a smile.

"What the hell is this a compliment?" The principal was shocked. Huang Zhicheng's shamelessness was truly speechless.

"Just this once, I promise I won't come looking for you again!" Huang Zhicheng said quickly.

The principal sighed and said, "You said it yourself, if you come again, don't blame me for turning against you!"

Huang Zhicheng immediately smiled with satisfaction. He was certain that these two undercover agents would no longer be detected.

Little did he know that even if Lin Yao didn't have the system's help, knowing the two people's names would ruin his plans.

……

On Monday morning, Lin Yao arrived at his magazine office... no, it should now be called a media company.

Because the magazine acquired Imamura Newspaper Group, it has now been renamed Star Shine Newspaper Group.

The two companies merged into one and moved into an office building in Central.

Lin Yao's media company alone occupies two floors of the building.

"Good morning, boss!" The receptionist greeted Lin Yao with a sweet smile as he arrived at work.

"Luna, you're getting more and more beautiful!" Lin Yao said with a smile.

Even though he's a big boss now, Lin Yao still hasn't changed his habit of teasing his colleagues.

He often flirts with the company's beautiful female employees until they blush, yet he never falls for them.

This made the female employees always look at him with resentment.

"You're a big boss now, how come you're still not doing your job properly!" A gentle voice rang in Lin Yao's ear at this moment.

Lin Yao turned his head and saw that it was Fang Siwei.

"Looks like you've made up your mind?" Lin Yao said to Fang Siwei with a smile.

Fang Siwei said somewhat helplessly, "It's already gotten this bad, it would be undignified if we didn't leave! Besides, didn't you tell me you needed a capable on-site reporter?"

"And Zhenzhen asked me to keep an eye on you, so you won't mess around with the female employees!"

Lin Yao chuckled mischievously and said, "You told me not to mess around with female employees, so you can do whatever you want with them?"

Fang Siwei was already immune to Lin Yao's thuggish behavior. After rolling her eyes at him, she said irritably, "You scoundrel, hurry up and get me a job. I've been sitting on the sidelines at ATV for months!"
