"Sister Ting, how many days are you going to take pictures in the building? Several of my colleagues are still thinking about bringing a camera to take a photo with Brother Fa tomorrow!" A girl beside Zhang Wanting pointed to the very popular Zhou Runfa not far away and said . ○

"There are not many shots in the Oriental Building, and they will all be shot today! More shots will be shot at the Oriental Experimental Building, which is moved to Shatin! And the shooting time there will be coordinated until evenings or weekends. When you go to work, try not to affect the daily order of the company!" Zhang Wanting said with a smile, completely different from the serious face she usually has in the crew.

"In the Oriental Experimental Building, there is basically no normal vacation schedule. Staying up late at night and working overtime on weekends is a normal thing! When you go to shoot, the staff there will definitely approve with their hands, and they can finally enjoy a few hours. A normal nine-to-five life!" Li Ying said with a smile.

"Oh, so it is! No wonder the manager Cai, who is in charge of coordinating with the crew, said that when we go is similar to them, I thought it was a polite word! It seems that the scientific research staff of the Oriental Company, although the salary is high , The welfare is good, but the pressure behind it is not ordinary!" Zhang Wanting said as if empathizing.

In the eyes of outsiders, she is definitely one of the rare characters in the Hong Kong film circle who is taken care of by the **** of luck and is proud of her all the way. With just one graduation work "Illegal Immigrants", Zhang Wanting successfully won the favor of the Asian film industry and was given the opportunity to direct the romantic film "The Love of People and Ghosts".

After the release of "Ghost Love", it became an instant hit. It received a box office of 20 million Hong Kong dollars in the local market alone, ranking fifth in Hong Kong's box office list last year. This work has been praised by film critics. It is the most touching love movie in Hong Kong in the past ten years.

Relying on a "Ghost Love", Zhang Wanting quickly gained a firm foothold in the Hong Kong film industry. The idea of ​​this movie. It is said that it comes from the "God of Wealth Li". The reason why the original Asian Film Company chose her, a fledgling rookie director, to direct. It was because of the recommendation of the girl in front of me.

"My brother is very concerned about your new movie now. He just talked about this movie at home yesterday! My brother also joked to his sister-in-law, let her play the heroine and work with Brother Fa again!" Li Ying paused, and then revealed an anecdote to Zhang Wanting.

Only then did Zhang Wanting remember Li Sheng's wife, Miss Zhong, who used to be an actress. It's just that Zhong Chuhong has only made three films in total, and the first film she took on was also the debut film directed by Du Qifeng, called "Bishui Cold Mountain Killing Gold". It's just that the movie didn't make much waves after its release. It was soon drawn down by the theater because of the unsatisfactory box office.

Zhong Chuhong's second film is the pioneering work of the Asian film industry - "Five Lucky Stars at the End of the Period". It is rumored that this script was written by Li Sheng for Miss Zhong. But as long as anyone who has seen this movie knows, the role played by Miss Zhong can only be regarded as one of the protagonists in the movie, and her role is not outstanding. So Zhang Wanting doubts this statement.

And Zhong Chuhong's last film was "The Story of Hu Yue" with Zhou Runfa. This work directed by Xu Anhua made Miss Zhong's acting skills recognized by film critics for the first time. Unfortunately, after that, Zhong Chuhong married into the Li family and was officially attracted.

The idea of ​​having Zhong Chuhong as the heroine quickly flashed in Zhang Wanting's mind, but the miss only stayed in her mind for a second. She was denied. With Zhong Chuhong's current status, it is naturally impossible to really come back to make movies, this is just a joke at home by Li Sheng.

"Li Sheng attaches so much importance to "Sleepless in Hong Kong", which makes me feel a lot of pressure all of a sudden!" Zhang Wanting shook her head at Li Ying with a wry smile.

since taking over the script. She can clearly feel that the company attaches more importance to this movie than the previous "Ghost Love". "The Ghost Story" may just be a simple movie. And this "Sleepless in Hong Kong" even involves the strategy of the entire Oriental Group.

Before the filming started, even Mr. Du Wenqiang, the president of Dongfang Game Company. Also came to attend the final finalization workshop. Although the filming budget of "Sleepless in Hong Kong" is only 8 million Hong Kong dollars, Asian Films has even prepared tens of millions of funds in advance. It will be used for PR for the Best Foreign Language Film award at the Oscars in the United States, as well as for the three major film festivals in Europe.

Now even Mr. Li Xuan is secretly paying attention to the situation of this movie, Zhang Wanting is indeed under a lot of pressure.

"Pressure is also motivation. I am optimistic about Sister Ting's strength, come on!" Li Ying encouraged Zhang Wanting.

"Aying, I remember that you should graduate next year. Have you thought about what to do after college?" Zhang Wanting asked in a different topic.

"I don't know what I can do?" the girl said with some distress.

"I think there are too many choices?" Zhang Wanting smiled.

"Hey, let's talk about it after graduation next year. The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. My second brother said that no matter what I like to do, he will support my choice!" Li Ying smiled sweetly.

"Aying, we are waiting for your coffee, and the flowers are all gone. You are hiding here and being lazy!" Someone suddenly patted Li Ying on the shoulder and said.

"Ah!" Li Ying was taken aback, turned her head subconsciously, and found that it was a colleague in her office. She then remembered her task of coming to the third floor, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

Zhang Wanting couldn't help but feel a little surprised, asking Li Sheng's own sister to come downstairs to run errands to get coffee, these people can really bear it! It's just that she saw that Li Ying was dressed as a simple girl next door, so she probably didn't show her true identity to her colleagues.

Is this the plot of the eldest lady who often plays private visits in idol dramas? Zhang Wanting thought hilariously, if according to the plot of the fairy tale, there should be a frog prince, and finally a lover will be married!

Zhang Wanting looked at the male colleague who came to look for Li Ying, and seemed to please her, and shook her head slightly. Li Ying was born in the richest family in the world, and has a kind of extravagance that ordinary girls don't have at all. This extravagance does not mean how expensive a luxury sports car to drive or how luxurious to wear!

But she has seen all kinds of scenes. The kind of natural atmosphere that has been cultivated. Even if the Governor of Hong Kong suddenly appeared here, I believe Li Ying would still be able to keep his face intact. Her family gave her enough confidence. Unless it is a very good boy, it is difficult to impress such a girl. Because he already has a reference in his mind, that is her brother!

Zhang Wanting turned her head and just met Li Ying's eyes. The other party gave her a look, indicating that she should keep her identity secret, Zhang Wanting smiled and nodded.

The reason why she concealed her identity and came to the Oriental Group for an internship was more because she was bored at home. Before graduating from university, Li Xuan did not want his sister to be exposed to the spotlight of the Hong Kong media prematurely, so he seldom even took her to participate in the activities of the upper class in Hong Kong.

Of course, Li Ying has seen a lot of the world. After Zhong Chuhong had a child, she put more energy on the pair of children, and was not very keen to accompany Li Xuan to travel abroad. And Li Ying happened to be studying at university in the United States, so on many grand occasions, Li Xuan simply made his sister as his female companion.

After several cups of coffee and sweets, Li Ying asked Zhang Wanting not to leave.

"Aying, are you familiar with director Zhang Wanting? It is said that he is a famous iceberg talent in the crew!" The male colleague who came to Li Ying began to actively look for topics to chat.

"Sister Ting is also an alumnus of New York University. Thanks to Sister Ting's help when I first went to study in New York, I was able to quickly get acquainted with life in the United States!" Li Ying explained kindly.

A production crew is like a small society, and there are inevitably various disputes, which often test the director's ability to control the overall situation. Before Zhang Wanting went to the United States for further studies, she also worked as a director of Radio Television Hong Kong. But he has no qualifications in the Hong Kong film industry. Female directors are inherently weaker than male directors. In order to deter all the bulls, ghosts and snakes in the crew, Zhang Wanting simply pretended to be cold and difficult to serve.

"Aying, you originally went to college in the United States!" The male colleague's attention was obviously not on Zhang Wanting. "Today is just Friday. I have an appointment with Ah Hua and the others in the office. Let's go to sing together after get off work, and you can play together!"

"Brother Rui. Thank you for taking care of you for more than a month. I will not come to the company for an internship after today. I will be leaving for the United States tomorrow, so I won't go out with you tonight!" Li Ying declined with a smile. You can feel that the other person has some good feelings for you.

"Oh!" The male colleague named Rui Ge was a little disappointed, and the two returned to the office in silence.

Li Ying did not lie to the other party, because Li Xuan was going to fly to the United States the next day, so she simply returned to the United States ahead of schedule with each of them.

"Brother, what do you think I should do after graduation? With you, the richest man in the world as my brother, I have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life, and suddenly I feel that my life has lost the direction of struggle!" Li Ying occupied a Changsha area by herself Two-thirds of the area was released, and he stretched out his feet and gently kicked his brother's soft abdomen, and said with some dissatisfaction.

Li Ying just returned to Hong Kong from the United States during the summer vacation, and Li Xuan took out an equity agreement for her to move forward. After the injection of high-quality assets from Li Xuan, 40% of Kunpeng Real Estate's equity was assigned to her name, and the equity was worth at least one billion Hong Kong dollars! A few years ago, Li Xuan set up a trust fund and designated her as the sole beneficiary.

Li Ying now receives $500,000 in pocket money every month from her personal trust fund. In the United States, the average annual income of middle-class families is only $50,000 to $60,000. Even if Li Ying is drunk every day, it is enough for her to splurge!

"If you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are successful, you will help the world! Since you feel that your future life lacks some meaning, then do something meaningful! After your sister-in-law gives birth to her third child next year, she has no time to do other things. Well, it just happened that you took over the charitable fund!" Li Xuan said with a smile.

Zhong Chuhong is pregnant again, and the due date is in May next year. The twins in Li Xuan's family are almost three years old. And a family like the Li family naturally wants more children and more happiness! Therefore, Zhong Chuhong is pregnant with the second child, which can be regarded as satisfying the wishes of the elderly in the family.

"Ah! You said it so suddenly, I wasn't even prepared!"

Li Ying was a little overwhelmed. She remembered that the charity fund under Li Xuan's name invested as much as 200 million US dollars last year, ranking among the top charities in the world. Li Ying was naturally a little nervous when he hit an agency like this and handed it over to her so lightly.

"Can't you start preparing now! I remember that you seem to have participated in volunteer activities in New York. You can take a good look at how the public welfare organizations in the United States work! And I'm not putting all the burden on your small shoulders. , there are a lot of talents in the Haichuan Fund, and they will provide you with professional reference opinions!" Li Xuan said with a smile.

In fact, he flew to the United States this time to donate money for charity. Through Bush's matchmaking, Eastern Group is preparing to cooperate with the American Parent Teacher Association to establish a charitable foundation dedicated to supporting the development of American youth.

The American Parent-Teacher Association is a very powerful organization. If it gets involved with him, it will definitely give every company a headache. The United States has a population of tens of millions of teenagers, and the total number of votes in the hands of their parents must be multiplied by two. If they can be twisted together, it is enough to decide the candidate for the president of the United States.

Of course, there are many factors that affect the votes cast by American voters, but the potential influence of the PTA cannot be ignored by any politician in the United States~www.readwn.com~ In fact, shortly after Bush Jr. took office, he signed the "No. The "Leave a Child Left Behind Act" can be said to have directly changed the basic education of the 21st century in the United States. He signed the bill to please the majority of ordinary parent voters.

The relationship between Bush and the education circle was obviously laid long before he became president. As early as two years ago, he revealed to Li Xuan that he was preparing to run for the next post of Texas Land Commissioner, and the Texas Parent-Teacher Association was obviously one of the important agencies that Bush needed public relations.

The Eastern Group cooperated with the National Parent-Teacher Association to set up a special youth development fund, which is one of the achievements Bush Jr. sent to Texas voters, because the foundation will first launch activities from Texas and California.

Of course, the reason why Li Xuan is willing to pay is not only to build momentum for Bush's political career, but also to include many interests of the Oriental Group itself. For example, the consumers of Oriental Game Company are the youth class.

The negative effects of being addicted to games, such as learning weariness and violent tendencies, are problems that game companies have to face. These pressures come from the parent-teacher association, so it is absolutely beneficial and harmless to the Oriental Group to have a good relationship with it! (To be continued..)
