Hong Kong Comprehensive: Captured by Brother Kun to make a film

Du Sheng shook his head and put down the newspaper. These newspaper editors would be humbled if they didn't become entertainment reporters.

At first, he never thought that Su Yan could take the blame, but these people actually came up with a theory that was well-founded.

Upon closer inspection, it turns out to be quite reasonable.

It can only be said that fun people are everywhere.

However, he was busy today and had no time to chat with the crowd.

TVB's "Rising Star Singing Competition" will determine the top three winners tomorrow night, and Du Sheng has to accompany Little Jude to record and sing.

Many high-level officials from all walks of life will be present to participate in this final, and it is said that Uncle Liu, who has not been seen for a long time, will also appear.

And Du Sheng was also invited.

Thanks to last night's big event, television, newspapers and other media have received unprecedented attention. TVB will hold the final tomorrow night, which is an indirect wave of popularity.

"This dress is very beautiful, it perfectly brings out your temperament."

Du Sheng looked at Pingting's beautiful little Jew and said with a smile.

The girl is wearing a sweet and elegant western-style dress today. Her beautiful and dignified temperament is completely outstanding.

"Brother Sheng, you bought this, don't you remember?"

The little Jew has experienced many big scenes in the spotlight and is no longer an ignorant girl. However, she was still a little happy when she heard the man's praise. She smiled and held his arm:
"You're going to be late, you have to go."

She has already gained exposure by reaching the semi-finals, and she has also gained some popularity with a few songs. Now she is going out in disguise.

Du Sheng knew that this was probably suggested by her record agent, so she smiled and ignored it.

As soon as I arrived at the recording studio of Huaxing Company, Liu Yan, the person in charge of the "Rising Star Competition" suddenly came over:
"Hello Mr. Du, I wonder if you are free at noon?"

Du Sheng looked at the other party, said a few polite words, and asked:
"I have some free time, what's the matter?"

"I heard that you are interested in Shaw Brothers Cinemas. Uncle Six would like to talk to you."

Liu Yan was just a messenger and went straight to the point.

"Okay, I'll come on time."

Du Sheng was deep in thought. When he saw Little Jude looking over, he smiled and motioned for her to record and sing first.

He does have some thoughts about theater chains, and he also knows that Shaw Brothers Cinemas has been losing money for years and wants to sell it.

Shao's Pictures is reducing production year by year, and next year it will stop filming movies and focus on TV stations. We can indeed talk about it.

And if he guessed correctly, this might still be a deal involving the "Rising Star Singing Contest".

The players who make it to the finals are all very talented, and the final competition is just about connections, background, and price.

As for amateurs winning the championship in one fell swoop based on their abilities, they may have happened before, but they were just gimmicks.

At noon that day, Du Sheng met the leader of the Shao family.

Shao Yifu looked a little old, but he was in good spirits and said with a smile:
"Please take a seat. By the way, I haven't congratulated Mr. Du for his two films in a row with a box office of over [-] million. He is really a formidable person."

"Sixth Uncle is overly praised. Compared with your old achievements, they are not worth mentioning."

Du Sheng smiled and exchanged a few words with the other party before getting straight to the point:

"We are going to make a new movie recently, with an investment of about 800 million, and we plan to borrow Fa Ge. I wonder if Uncle Six can part with me?"

"Brother Fa said it's no problem, but I have to ask Uncle Liu for details."

Fang Yihua explained a few words to Shao Yifu in a low voice, and the latter pondered:
"Since Ah Fa has an idea, his play will not be blocked for no reason. We can discuss the details later.

I heard that Mr. Du intends to join the theater chain. I wonder how you plan to cooperate? "

Two years ago, none of its actors would be loaned out even if there was no filming for Shaw Brothers. But now, due to the impact of Jia He and Princess Jin, even the Shaw Brothers brand can hardly hang on.

As for the theater chain, if Du Sheng doesn't hold his hand, he will be swallowed up by Xinbao and Princess Jin in the future.

In fact, the three parties have already been in contact, but because the latter two are concerned about the rights to Shaw Brothers movies and want to package and buy them together, they have been unable to reach an agreement.

Du Sheng had no idea about this for the time being and knew that Shao Yifu would not give in and only needed 16 theaters under Shaw Brothers.

To be precise, it's movie theater land.

So this discussion was quite pleasant.

However, given that some cinemas are relatively remote, some are still open in other people's shopping malls, and some are old and dilapidated, the specifics need to be discussed by experts.

After Du Sheng left Shaw Brothers, he went to Qiankun Entertainment again.

Just the day before yesterday, "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" had already opened with a box office of 1582 million, setting another good result.

At the same time, the filming of "The Lame Man" has been completed, and only post-production is needed. The schedule has been negotiated, and the publicity process is in order.

Du Sheng came today to deal with the launch of "God of Gamblers" and is expected to prepare for its release next month.

He plans to film part of "God of Gamblers" on a cruise ship to better promote it.

Although the ship hasn't come back yet, it's only a few days away and other plots can be filmed first.

At the same time, Qiankun Entertainment also began to enter the expansion stage. Since the funds were still sufficient, it began to poach people aggressively.

Some third- and fourth-tier actors and screenwriters who saw no hope switched over from time to time.

Even the veteran actor Lu Xunwei, who played "The Lame Man", who had fallen into the second tier, was also brought in.

Speaking of which, Lu Xunwei became famous when he played the role of Ding Li in "Shanghai Bund" not long after his debut. However, this role was too classic, and his acting career was restricted for the next ten years.

Just like Zou Shaolong, if Du Sheng hadn't taken the risk to use him this time, he would have been in decline for a while.

However, Du Sheng did not force them to sign exclusive contracts like Shaw Brothers and Jiahe did. Actors were not prohibited from starring in other companies' movies or TV series as long as it did not delay the company's filming schedule.

Anyway, if they take the film, the company will also get a share.

The next day, the finals of the "Rising Star Singing Contest" kicked off.

Not surprisingly, Little Jew entered the top three.

When she got into the car, she was still immersed in the joy of winning the award and felt a little dizzy.

It was as if those eyes of surprise and envy were still shining in front of my eyes, and those words of praise and praise were still echoing in my ears.
Du Sheng knew that this situation would have a huge impact on ordinary people, so he smiled and patted her shoulder:

"What, you haven't woken up yet?"

The little Jew whined, turned around and wanted to throw herself into Du Sheng's arms. However, he noticed that his manager was in the passenger seat and there were many fans outside. He straightened his body and regained his ladylike image, and said sincerely:

"Brother Sheng, thank you!"

She knew that her ability to fulfill her dreams and achieve what she has today was absolutely inseparable from the man beside her.

To put it even further, if it hadn't been for the care and attention of the other party, I'm afraid I would still be fighting the disease, let alone become a brilliant artist.

"For example, how can I thank the Fa?"

Du Sheng smiled and whispered in the little Jew's ear, causing the latter to roll his cheeks and roll his eyes at him.

Today she put on light makeup, wore a long purple chiffon dress, long hair shawl, picturesque eyebrows, elegant and elegant temperament, which is pleasing to the eye at first glance.

Du Sheng is also in a good mood. Women should be happy with themselves.

If it weren't for the image of this girl, I would have held her in my arms like crazy...

"The "Lame Man" that the company just finished filming is missing a few interludes. The song "The Favorite" that you won the AFC Champions League with is quite suitable."

Du Sheng took great pains to pave the way for his own woman, saying:
"Let's talk to Huaxing Records later. The other party should know what to do."

The vehicle had already started moving, and the little Jew couldn't hold back his joy any longer. He Xizizi leaned next to Du Sheng and kissed him:
"Well, I know."

Xu Yan, the manager arranged by Huaxing Records for Little Jude, saw the intimate scene in the rearview mirror. Quan pretended not to see it and instead wrote down what Du Sheng mentioned.

At this time, she suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked:

"Mr. Du, I wonder if you have any suggestions for the 'pure jade girl' image proposed by our company?"

When the little Jew heard this suggestion, he blushed and let go of his hand, returning to his ladylike image.

Du Sheng looked amused, shook his head and said:

"It's up to Amei to decide, as long as she's happy."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Xu Yan:
“Also, I don’t want her to be manipulated and become a tool that only makes money.

If Huaxing Records can't do this, then I will consider helping her terminate her contract and change companies. "

If someone else said this, Xu Yan would probably sneer or retort.

But the person in front of her was a stickler. She didn’t even dare to offend her boss Liu Yan, so she quickly said:

"Mr. Du, please rest assured that our company always respects artists' choices, and our starting point is for their own good, and we will not kill the goose to obtain the eggs."

Du Sheng didn't say anything else. He gave a few words to the little Jew, then got out of the car and met Master Su.

After two rounds of negotiations, Qiankun Entertainment fought its way out of Xinbao and Jinzhuzhu and successfully won the Shao's Cinema Line.

For this reason, Du Sheng not only gave up the film copyright of Shao's Pictures, but also agreed to the condition that the other party finish the release of the new film and delay the delivery for one month.

The theaters he acquired include three central business floors with independent land titles and three joint bids, as well as five drama theaters. The others are old or remote areas with not too high value, and the package price is 9200 million.

Considering that it will be delivered next month, Du Sheng paid [-]% as a deposit first to avoid being intercepted.

At this point, the film industry has finally found its footing.

In the next few years, Xiangjiang Film will still be in its prime years. With Du Sheng's ability, this investment can be fully earned, and it is not difficult to even double the profit.

If the trend is irreversible in the future, even if the theater land is not in good condition, it can be sold or a shopping mall built, and there will definitely be a profit.

"Jingle Bell!"

Early that morning, Du Sheng was woken up by a phone call.

I drank a little too much at the celebration party for "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" last night. I was confused and pulled the little Jew off my body. I reached out and grabbed my phone a few times before I managed to grab my phone.

Shui Ling's extremely joyful voice came from the phone:

"A Sheng, our ship is back!"

"what!"

Du Sheng suddenly woke up and sat up:
"Where have you been?"

"Victoria Harbor!"

Shui Ling seemed to have arrived there and said excitedly:

"A Sheng, it's so big, there are many people watching at the scene!"

Du Sheng didn't bother to correct the other party's wrong statement. After all, it was also true.

He put down the little Jew who was still sleeping like a little pig and subconsciously hugged him, covered him with a quilt and went out.In order to repay him last night, this girl put aside her previous reserve and shyness and bent down to cook venison soup for more than an hour. She was sweating profusely and was really exhausted, so it was hard to wake her up.

Du Sheng simply washed up, ate a few bites of bread, and then asked Wei Jixiang to drive straight to Victoria Harbor.

After a few days of calm, the public opinions about 'the Eagle warship was bombed' and 'the senior officials of the Governor's Office were all in trouble' have calmed down.

But today another Big Mac sailed into Victoria Harbor, sparking heated debate among citizens.

Because this 2.2-ton cruise ship is 148 meters long and dozens of meters high. It is all white and shows luxury and elegance. It is really eye-catching.

Although many people in Hong Kong have seen cruise ships, cruise ships, oil tankers and the like, such big ones are rare.

If you really want to calculate it, in recent years, only the frigate Daying can compete with each other.

However, the Leander has been in service for more than 20 years and has not been maintained for a long time. Its appearance is covered with oil and stains, and it has been bombarded. Its overall image cannot be compared with the ship in front of you.

For a time, not only the citizens watched enthusiastically, but also many reporters with keen sense of smell rushed over.

Just a little comparison with the Leander, and the following news headlines will definitely be indispensable.

When Du Sheng arrived at Victoria Harbor, both sides of the strait were already crowded with people eating melons.

Looking at their excited and lively discussion, it seemed like he was even more excited than the owner of the cruise ship.

"A Sheng, come up quickly. This boat is exaggerated. It's bigger than the Intercontinental Hotel next to it!"

When Shui Ling saw Du Sheng boarding the boat, she excitedly took him for a stroll.

Although she has seen a lot, she has never been on a ship of this size.

What's more, this cruise ship is unique to them, and to a certain extent, they are proud of it.

"As you can see, this ship integrates shopping, dining and entertainment."

Du Sheng walked on the deck, pointing to a place with rich supporting facilities not far away, and introduced with a smile:

“There are restaurants, bars, swimming pools, casinos, amusement parks, cinemas, etc., absolutely meeting all needs.

With more than [-] cabins and a full passenger capacity of nearly [-], it is not an exaggeration to call it a mobile maritime entertainment city. It is definitely the first in Hong Kong. "

When Shui Ling thought about the scene of the boat sailing and the endless wealth flowing in, she became excited and said:

"Nowadays, it is still unique in Xiangjiang, Haojiang and Wancheng. It only needs to go out to sea a few times a month. I believe that the investment can be recovered in less than half a year, and the subsequent profits will be pure."

Just imagine, every time we go out to sea for at least five days, we guarantee that the winning guests will spend money on the boat and the losing guests will raise money on the boat.
This kind of one-stop service for eating, drinking, and having fun is simply like the banker takes all.

Of course, the premise is that there are no factors such as competition, secret fighting, foreign investment, gambling kings, etc.

But these are not realistic, so getting started as soon as possible is the key.

Du Sheng knew this very well, but he was confident that there would be no major problems within the year and asked:
"Have you recruited enough dealers, waiters, professional managers and other personnel?"

The customs procedures had already been settled at a great expense, so he was not worried about this.

It’s just that with so many people on board, strategies and management must be formulated, so relevant personnel are essential.

On the other hand, in terms of security to maintain order and safety, Union Security can fully meet the needs and ensure that there will be no bad habits such as fighting.

"We have already recruited seven or eight people."

When it came to business, Shuiling calmed down her joy and said:
"However, some waiters, cashiers, dealers, etc. need to be trained more."

Speaking of which, since Du Sheng officially confirmed the purchase of the cruise ship last month, they have arranged these related matters in an orderly manner.

For example, Shuiling is responsible for recruiting waiters, cashiers, etc., and then centrally arranges them for training in the newly built friendship base.

Mo Jiaqi has a number on his side, and there is also a branch in Haojiang, so it is relatively easy to recruit dealers and managers.

As for Ding Yao's Sanlian Yao, he is responsible for personal connections and liaison, opening up the travel network, as well as on-board mortgage loans and other businesses.

Of course, considering that the trip lasts for several days, relaxing places such as footbaths and boneyards are also essential.

Especially the masters and princesses who have special skills, as long as the price is right, they are guaranteed to give guests an emperor-like enjoyment.

And these are naturally provided by Hongxing, Dongxing, Shuoyao, and Sanlianyao.

After all, if you eat meat at home, you have to let others drink some soup, otherwise it won't be justified.

Hong Xing is easy to explain.

Du Sheng directly left it to Liangkun and the other hall leaders. As long as they agreed on the matter of boat gambling, he would be very open to the benefits.

"Then it will open on the [-]st of next month. The most important thing next is publicity and momentum."

Du Sheng thought for a while and finalized the official date for overseas travel.

In terms of publicity, it has actually attracted a lot of attention now.

After all, with the Eagle warship as a comparison, the focus of public opinion will only get higher day by day.

"God of Gamblers" has been filming for some time. According to Liu Zhenwei's speed of shooting a movie (Evil of the West) in half a month, the gambling scene on the ship will be shot the day after tomorrow, and the soundtrack editing will be completed in two days. It will definitely be released before the cruise ship goes to sea.

With its own cinemas, express newspapers and media to promote it in advance, and big stars like Fa Ge joining the cast, the box office of this film is guaranteed.

At that time, a wave of linkages can attract a lot of enthusiasm to the Dream, and there will be no need to worry about guests.

As the largest ticket warehouse, Bay City postponed the release by one week, which just separated the overseas period.

I believe that with Ding Yao's ability and the reputation spread in Xiangjiang, countless distinguished guests will definitely come.

As for Haojiang, Mo Jiaqi, Ding Yao and the other girls all felt that they could take a breather first.

After all, this is He Zhen's base camp, with a population of only a few hundred thousand, so there is no need to face death in the first place.

"It's better to have more time."

Shui Ling will not object. Although opening the business earlier can make money earlier, it will take time for the people recruited by Ding Yao and Mo Jiaqi to gather:
"After those three days, all the personnel recruited by the four companies will be picked up on the ship to familiarize themselves with the operation and environment."

Zhan Mi, who came back from handling the parking matters, added:
"By the way, although the Dream is advertised as a tour around the city, it can't be kept secret for a long time. It needs to be avoided in advance."

"It's natural."

Du Sheng thought for a while and said:
"I will mention it at the Hongtang meeting tomorrow and announce it to the world."

Zhan Mi nodded. Now that the Hongxing family is the only one in power, and the name of his boss is so famous, who dares to step out and cause trouble?

Not to mention, Du Sheng's relationship with the husband is also extraordinary.

For example, now, Fang Jiexia has asked Chen Jin to lead a team to patrol Victoria Harbor, and in the name of preventing another terrorist attack, a Trojan horse has been set up around the Dream.

Faced with this kind of police-civilian cooperation, which social group or entrepreneurial group dares to seek death?

Shui Ling also thought thoughtfully and said:
"I'll also hold an internal meeting here to lay out my position first, so as not to cause any trouble."

There is no shortage of smart people in this society. There must be some who have guessed what this ship is for, and some who want to take advantage.

There are even some people with ulterior motives who want to form cliques and encourage individuals to get a share of the pie.

Even those backers or forces hidden behind the scenes will be jealous.

These must be dealt with in advance.

"Arrange it as soon as possible and don't let anyone take advantage of it."

Du Sheng nodded. The reason why he roped in Dong Xing, Shuo Yao and Sanlian Yao was not only to strengthen the relationship between the two parties, but also for this purpose.

Before leaving, he called Mo Jiaqi and Ding Yao respectively to discuss the relevant matters.

At that time, the statements of the four forces will be put out simultaneously. Not to mention the people in the Jianghu, only those high-ranking officials and powerful people with ideas will have to weigh it.

Even the gambling king from Haojiang who heard the news would not fall out so quickly even if he was dissatisfied.

When the few people left, they could hear many people talking about the Dream.

Since it has not been officially announced, everyone is speculating whether the ship is temporarily docked or what it intends to do.

Du Sheng just smiled. After all, this thing doesn't rip off the poor. It's okay to let the tap water ferment.

However, this cake is currently big enough, and maybe some high-level officials in the Governor's Mansion may have some ideas and get involved and come up with some rules and regulations.

In order to prevent trouble before it happens, he must be busy these days, running around delivering money.

"Jixiang, let's go to Tsim Sha Tsui first."

Du Sheng gave an order, and the first stop was naturally Fang Jiexia.

This time, it is necessary to spend a lot of money to win over the connections and forces behind the opponent, so that it is possible to suppress those bloodthirsty sharks.

Of course, he did not expect these people to take sides, as long as they argued or voted against the resolution.

It was not until the evening of the next day that Du Sheng had some free time.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the Hongtang meeting was held as usual.

"Brother Sheng!"

"A Sheng is here——"

After Du Sheng entered the venue, he found that Luo Tianhong, Chen Weiting, Ekin, Ya Lang, fat guy Li, Harry, Bucky and others were basically there.

The plane stationed in Haojiang and Yang Tian from the country rushed back and said hello one after another.

Du Sheng responded with a smile and took He Guang to his seat.

Except for Kwai Tsing District Hall Master Han Bin and Kwun Tong District Acting Hall Master Chen Yao, who were not present, it can be said that everyone was present.

When Liangkun arrived, the first thing he mentioned was the change of speaker:

“Everyone, be quiet and let’s discuss the first thing tonight.

Han Bin called me the day before yesterday and voluntarily gave up his role as speaker. Kwai Tsing District needs to appoint someone who can handle the situation. "

Liangkun had already discussed this matter with Du Sheng, and tonight was just a matter of going through the process.

Sure enough, Yamashita Tadahide, who was proposed by Luo Tianhong, succeeded in taking over.

Looking at this young man with white hair and a face somewhat similar to Tachibana Masahito, Du Sheng's lips curled up in amusement.

There is no doubt that this is a neon man who was once a member of the Yamaguchi-gumi.

In his early years, he was despised by Tachibana Masahito as a waste because he had no fighting spirit, so he quit the Yamaguchi-gumi in anger and worked hard to improve himself.

After several years of silent training, he is now not only good at Kyokushin karate, but also extremely capable in unarmed and weapon fighting, with a combat power of over six and a half stars, and can also perform the unique skill of combining a human and a sword.

According to the rating of the comic version of "Bewitched Boy", it is more than enough to rank in the top ten of all characters in terms of strength.

The reason why Yamashita Tadahide appeared in Xiangjiang is also a bit funny.
