The struggles of a failed college entrance exam candidate in Hong Kong entertainment

Chapter 101 Skyworth valued at 25 billion? What should I do?

Around 8 a.m. on the 29th, the crew of the film crew in Haojiang (leaving Haojiang) left.

Even though the team hadn't officially started work yet, it was still quite lively with people coming and going. After hanging up a phone call, Liang Jiahui walked towards Wang Zuxian, looking like he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Jia Hui's expression was unusually complicated; today was the second day of filming.

Xiao Xian felt a chill run down his spine. "Brother Hui, what happened?"

Liang Jiahui laughed and said, "It's alright, it has nothing to do with you anyway. If you're curious, just wait until around 10 o'clock when the newspaper is delivered and buy a copy."

Some of these scandals were so big that many people couldn't help but call and share them with those around them.

Leung Ka-fai got too full after talking about gossip over the phone.

Suddenly, he remembered that a certain Young Master Lin had been pursuing Xiao Xian relentlessly for three years? Good heavens, Liang Jiahui didn't dare to think too much about it.

Thank goodness Joey Wong didn't agree, right? Otherwise, it would have been a disaster.

Was his obsessive pursuit of women just a cover for his true love? Was his true love Zeng Zhiwei?

The male lead, deeply immersed in (leaving Macau), was originally Hui-ge, who was depressed and on the verge of death whenever filming started. At this moment, it felt like the world's filter had shattered.

He actually wanted to complain, but the Oriental Daily's headline was just too sensational.

Even if Lin Shao really likes men, or is attracted to both men and women, it's just that his tastes are more flexible.

How could someone like Zhang Zhiwei? That's ridiculous. Even if it's a real photo, it's probably just a slip-up caused by being drunk.

Liang Jiahui changed the subject, "By the way, from Lin Shao wanting to invest 3 million in Skyworth, to hearing that British capital is also willing to invest 5 million."

"Our group is getting more and more powerful, let's say 20% of 5 million."

"Isn't this valued at HK$25 billion? That's one or two times more expensive than ATV."

Although they were filming in Macau, a few days ago countless Hong Kong newspapers collectively hyped up Skyworth's value.

Jia Hui felt honored.

Like Leung Ka-fai, Joey Wong was unaware that this was a deliberate attempt by Lam Kin-yue to flatter and kill her.

Only Ah Hong and Rosamund Kwan knew about this.

However, after seeing some news reports, when Joey Wong called to congratulate Rosamund Kwan, she could tell that Rosamund Kwan had a bad attitude towards Lam Kin-yue.

Therefore, Liang Jiahui felt that Skyworth's valuation was very high and was very excited.

Her mindset was that she suspected there seemed to be something wrong with the financing, but she wasn't sure.

Hong Kong newspapers reported and hyped up Skyworth's valuation. Su Nan's earning power was evident during the Dragon Boat Festival. The day before, Su Nan even called her to ask if Lin Jianyue was pursuing her.

After thinking it over, Xiaoxian spoke up, "I feel there's something fishy about the Lin family wanting to invest in the company, or maybe there's something wrong with me?"

"If I had kept rejecting that young master Lin, he would have gone and tried to invest, and even wanted to harm Brother Nan or the company."

"I'm considering whether or not to do something."

Liang Jiahui was stunned, and then didn't know what to say.

A dozen seconds later, Jia Hui smiled and asked, "What do you plan to do after you've thought about it?"

Xiao Xian complained, "I felt that Brother Nan's popularity in Hong Kong a few days ago was a bit scary. If I need to shift the focus, I can make a statement to guide public opinion."

"For example, if someone asks me again why I didn't agree to Lin Shao's proposal, I'll complain that he's too young."

"Compared to Brother Nan, he's really too small; he should be able to divert a lot of attention."

It took Jia Hui a few seconds to react, and he almost tripped and fell. "You've competed before?"

Joey Wong shrugged. "No, but can't you spread rumors? I heard he's very young, that's fine too."

One day, she received a call from Su Nan. Su Nan didn't say much and told her not to overthink things.

But how could she, an adult, not make any connections?

Those who know Su Nan well know his reputation and character after more than three years in the industry; he won't call you for no reason.

The day after the phone call, the news broke that he had become the hottest topic in the city for several days.

Is this just traditional publicity stunt for (The Outlaws)? People in the industry can't be completely unaware of this.

If it were a genuine publicity campaign, Hong Bao and the others should have been actively involved long ago, joining in to promote it.

After finally regaining his balance, Liang Jiahui rubbed his aching back and sighed, "I'm getting old, and my thinking can't keep up with you 60s and 70s kids anymore."

He thought Xiao Xian was pretty ruthless; if that were the case, Lin Shao would definitely suffer social death.

He couldn't remember when he had heard this word from Brother Nan.

But then I thought about the shocking scandal in today's Oriental Daily News? Is this a closed loop of logic? Did Xiao Xian really say that?

Did Lin Shaocai suddenly fall for Director Zeng after being hit hard? No, Director Zeng must have been an accident.

I guess he drank too much.

What a tragedy! Lin Sheng is probably being besieged by his family right now.

That person who was running so fast back in '93 was way ahead of their time.

Joey Wong laughed and said, "Filming for (Raging Fire) wraps up tonight, should we rush back for the wrap party?"

Jia Hui readily agreed, "If we start construction in Macau, living on Hong Kong Island is no problem. My precious daughter is still so young and can't be without me."

As they talked, the crew officially began working.

It wasn't until around 10 a.m., when the major newspapers published on Hong Kong Island arrived in Macau, that the surrounding staff started watching the drama unfold.

The entire production crew was blown up afterwards; of course, this wasn't a newspaper specifically delivered to the crew.

Oriental Daily News, Ming Pao, Sing Pao, and other newspapers regularly cross the sea to sell their products in Macau.

The daily sales of the (Ho Kong Daily) newspaper are 50,000 to 60,000 copies, while major newspapers on Hong Kong Island can also sell 10,000 to 20,000 copies per day.

During filming, Wang Zuxian could be heard exclaiming in surprise, because she dared not multitask until the filming was finished.

After she finished making it, her assistant rushed over to deliver the newspaper. Even the tall, handsome Lao Wang was completely stunned. It was like a bolt from the blue.

She never dreamed that the Second Young Master Lin would be like this.

Forgive her for opening her eyes to the world in the wrong way today.

At 7 p.m. on the 29th, the crew of (Rescue) finished filming the last scene.

When Su Nan announced the wrap-up of filming, the entire team went wild.

Hong Bao, who was also on set, quickly came over to offer his congratulations before asking curiously, "Brother Nan, you mean the photo of Young Master Lin and Ah Wei today?"

"Is it possible that it's fake?"

"I think (Jurassic Park) can bring inanimate dinosaur models to life on the big screen, making them indistinguishable from real ones."

"So even ordinary still photos can be faked?"

Su Nan nodded with a smile, "That's a possibility. Even US dollars can be faked to look real, so what about this thing?"

Now that things have escalated to this point, verifying the truth is the Lin family's business.

Those in the industry who know the special effects capabilities of (Jurassic Park) can also make some guesses.

-

But what about the countless citizens of Hong Kong Island? Computers hadn't even reached every household with Windows 95 yet.

Old Hong handed over a cigar with a sigh, "Poor Wei, I didn't know he was drunk while trying to attract investment and went into the wrong place."

"It seems like they set it up. It doesn't look fake."

Sanmao and Zeng Zhi have collaborated less on the big screen in recent years because they are both bosses and have their own paths, but their relationship is still okay.

He showed up at the film set today specifically to attend the wrap party, not because he was craving the meal, but to continue building relationships.

Su Nan laughed and said, "Post-production will take about ten days, and the publicity for (Rescue Rage) can also be promoted by taking advantage of my popularity."

"Releasing on the 14th or 15th is also a good screening period."

We'll soon find out just how high this drama will elevate Jiao Enjun.

Hong Bao laughed, "Brother Nan, your new movie is sure to be a huge hit. I occasionally visit the set, and I think that child star Xiao Chen is quite good at acting."

"She and the character played by Jiao Enjun developed a certain father-daughter relationship over time."

"This warm and healing style is very heartwarming. The acting is good and the image is also good. It will be a hit this summer."

After all, the film "Raging Rescue" laid the groundwork with many heartwarming scenes between the male lead and the female lead, Chen.

The first half of the film, "Man on Fire," with its submissive fatherly love and heartwarming companionship, healed the protagonist's PTSD.

The character's father, Leung Ka-fai, is a Hong Kong tycoon who is very busy with work.

She was often absent during her daughter's upbringing, so she hired a bodyguard who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He would often drive her to and from school and attend school events in place of her as a parent.

Unconsciously, it filled the void of fatherly love that the female protagonist lacked.

In his daily life, he would casually pick a small flower from the garden in front of his house and pin it to the shirt worn by Jiao Enjun's character.

From innocent conversations that amused the seemingly cold bodyguard to presenting him with a Buddha pendant as a wish for a lifetime of peace and prosperity in his career, and so on.

The girl's character diary also contains more and more content about Jiao Enjun.

The story spends a lot of time building up the emotional bond between the father and daughter, who are also friends. At the end, Lao Jiao learns that the female lead's parents have paid the ransom, but the kidnappers refuse to release her.

Zhou Huimin's character appears to investigate and expose the villainous team, only to discover that they also have a business of drawing blood from hostages for blood typing and matching.

Once matched, which real tycoons will need the hostages' organs for transplant surgery?

Zhou Huimin's character delves into police and medical databases in Hong Kong Island, Tokyo, Seoul, and Singapore, providing an educational description of the number of missing persons each year.

Or perhaps someone is a big shot on one side, and they were waiting in line for a matching test at the hospital.

Suddenly, she underwent surgery and went through a post-operative recovery period, and once again became a force to be reckoned with in the public eye.

The more these films juxtapose warmth and cruelty, and intersperse flashbacks, the more exhilarating it is for Jiao Enjun to unleash his fury and mow down enemies.

After years of settling down and playing around, Chen and Xiao Jiao's acting skills in dramatic scenes can't be considered particularly outstanding.

Anyone who acts well in this blockbuster film is above average.

Old Hong also confirmed that regardless of how the new-style action scenes ultimately turned out on the big screen, the dramatic scenes on set were quite good.

Su Nan chuckled, "We'll see."

As he started walking, Wan Ziliang quickly ran over to greet him. After exchanging pleasantries, Wan Ziliang exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Nan, this script is quite frightening."

"Are there really people in real life who kidnap people and steal their kidneys just to prolong the lives of the super-rich and powerful?"

Southern Jiangsu, "??"

He paused for a few seconds and nodded, "Of course, otherwise where would the creative inspiration come from?"

"This is very common in the United States, where there is also a desire to establish a national database, including encouraging all citizens to agree on their driver's licenses that they are willing to donate their organs in the event of a car accident."

"Then, if a wealthy person gets sick and needs a heart, liver, or kidney transplant, we will screen the database to find a good match."

"Take him directly for surgery."

"Our script is about a supercrime organization, and those tycoons are pushing hard to legalize these things."

Wan Ziliang,

Hong Bao was so shocked he was speechless. "Holy crap, is it really that terrifying?"

Originally, Yuan Heping's (money laundering) script changed from having the drug trafficking team as the villains to a smuggling skeleton group.

It has already shocked the citizens of Hong Kong Island, and has shocked East and Southeast Asia.

It has also become one of Donnie Yen's most successful representative works to date.

And then? Many people in the industry already find the villain's setup of selling organs in addition to kidnapping and extortion chilling.

I feel that Nan Ge's script is too cold, icy and devoid of warmth.

So this is supposed to be based on real events? And they're pushing for it to be legalized?

Even though it's getting dark, you can't have such a hellish conversation.

Wan Ziliang was almost scared to death. He played the villain very well, with a super human touch. His expression and posture when looking at hostages like Chen were exactly how humans look at pigs.

But this is a substitution method, such as observing how the slaughterhouse workers view pigs.

Rosamund Kwan, who had just walked in with Amin, was stunned. "We've spent quite a bit of time in the US, and there's still such a dark world?"

Su Nan was speechless. "This is nothing. The fact that the US can push for its legalization shows that these are all minor issues."

Sister Guan fell silent, and Amin, who had been in high spirits, also fell silent.

After all, Amin was aware of the plan to tie the IP together with this series of super Hong Kong police blockbusters.

Chen Hong could debut in other works and become a globally renowned action star by following the hacker trilogy.

In (Rage 1), Amin appears as a rich, beautiful, and supercomputer genius.

This is a very promising role, and she's the third female lead. The project is finished and just waiting to be released. She could also continue to star in the second and third installments of Rage.

Her Mandarin album is also going to be released.

One song after another started charting on the radio – isn't this a sign of a rapidly growing career?

Her good mood was completely ruined by this incredibly gruesome topic.

Ironically, the way these things are told in southern Jiangsu is very understated, which creates a great sense of disconnect.

After a moment of silence, Amin took Nan Ge's arm and said, "It's alright, you're quite warm."

"If anyone tries to trick us into immigrating or anything like that in the future, we'll definitely beat them up."

She wondered if she had gone to a fake America before.

That's true. After she arrived, she was always under the protection of bodyguards, moving in and out of luxury districts and high-end hotels, and had little contact with the real society of the lower and middle classes.

(Anger) The wrap party begins, and everyone eats heartily.

At 10 p.m. on the 29th, Lin Jianyue, with a bruised and swollen face, arrived at a high-end club. He was about to go over and greet Liu when he saw him.

Da Liu hurriedly took several steps back, "Young Master Lin, it's so late, I thought you weren't interested in coming out to play today."

Old Lin cursed under his breath, his face dark, "I've been tricked, damn it, just thinking about Zeng the Shorty's face makes me want to vomit."

"I'm 36 years old, and my dad still beat me with a feather duster, saying I've disgraced the family."

"My eldest son is still laughing at the joke, he's laughing so hard he can barely stand."

He suspected that he had been set up by Su Nan, but he had no proof.

This is a matter of personal judgment. He had just been maliciously praising the other party to the point of ruin, and then he became famous himself, becoming a laughing stock among all the wealthy families in Hong Kong.

If not Brother Nan, then who should we suspect?

After Old Lin finished cursing and lit a cigar, he asked suspiciously, "Big Liu, are you saying that Ah Nan saw through our plan to flatter us to our death?"

"I didn't intend to cause him too much trouble. Praising him to death is just for fun."

Lau nodded, puffing on his cigar. "I consulted experts, and they said that computer technology can completely modify photos to look exactly like those published in today's newspapers, indistinguishable from the real thing."

"Whether Anan did this or not is not important. What's important is that you wanted to scheme against him like this."

"They even make fake photos. Are there any local newspapers or magazines that dare to print and distribute them?"

The traditional wealthy families on Hong Kong Island still maintain a very respectable image.

No matter how much you try to refute the rumors, once a fixed impression is formed among the general public, the black mark of Lin Ershao's ridiculousness will be impossible to shake off.

Even if you like the same sex, why would you date Zeng the Short? That's incredibly tasteless.
