Chapter 104 Knowledge
Early the next morning, Zhang Qing, Zhao Qiang and their party welcomed an unexpected guest, Wang Chang.
"Wow, staying at the Peninsula Hotel is on the same level as the Queen of England, and Qingzi is really happy!"
If we were to describe a greasy man, Wang Chang almost meets all the characteristics and is the gold standard.
He put on a smile that looked a little fake at first glance and stretched out his hand to shake Zhang Qing's hand.
Zhang Qing was having breakfast, so he smiled slightly after shaking hands and asked: "Director Wang, have you eaten?"
After Wang Chang was startled, he laughed and waved his hands and said: "It's really a mainland characteristic. When we meet, we ask, 'Have you eaten?'"
The last three words were spoken in Mandarin, which made Zhang Lan laugh next to him.
Zhang Qing sat down and took two more bites, finished the bread and drank the milk before wiping his hands. He stood up and asked Wang Chang to go to the tea room downstairs to talk, but Zhao Qiang followed him.
Seeing his calm acting style, Wang Chang smacked his lips, a flash of amusement flashed in his eyes, and shrugged secretly.
As long as you can make money, no matter who he is.
…
"Invite me to write a script?"
Zhang Qing smiled and said: "Director Wang, you may have misunderstood. I have never thought of becoming a screenwriter."
Wang Chang smiled clearly and said: "I know, what Uncle Six said, you are born to be a boss, how can you be a screenwriter? Well, that's it. As for me, I want to shoot "The Condor", but I don't want to shoot the whole thing, but cut out part of it.
It’s OK if you take the photo.”
Zhang Qing said with a smile: "I wonder which part Director Wang is going to shoot?"
Wang Chang's smile became brighter and he said: "Of course it's the Nine Yin Manual."
"Have a vision."
Zhang Qing smiled, but that was all he said.
After Zhao Qiang poured tea aside, she smiled at Wang Chang and said: "Brother Wang Chang, you may have misunderstood. Apart from writing and composing music, all other related matters for Qingshao, especially copyright matters, are handled by me. Brother Wang Chang wants to film "
"Shooting the Condor", this is a great idea. If you have the opportunity to cooperate with our Dujuan Film and Television Company, we will hire you to be the film director, of course, in one year."
Wang Chang was greatly disappointed when he heard this. A year later, he still made a fool of himself. After "The Condor" became a hit, there will definitely be follow-up movies all over the street.
Shoot eagles, chickens, crows, whatever you can think of, shoot them all.
Hong Kong Island is such a piss-poor. It’s not so much that its talent has been exhausted, it’s more that it’s been hollowed out by those who follow the trend.
After the movie "Thousand Kings" became popular, countless gambling movies were released, leaving him with nothing to shoot.
After making a nonsensical movie that became a hit, the entire Hong Kong city was in a state of shit.
No matter how smart he is, he can't afford to pay like this...
Wang Chang wanted to say something else, but Zhao Qiang was the first to say with a smile: "Brother Wang Chang, it is impossible to make a movie before the TV series "The Condor" is broadcast, and it is impossible for TVB and Uncle Ruo Lin to agree. But if you want to make a movie, you can't
There is no way."
Wang Chang heard the voice and said amusedly: "Aqiang, you look more like an old Jianghu than me. What the hell, do you want me to help you film? My filming is very expensive."
Zhao Qiang smiled and said: "As long as Brother Wang Chang is willing to take pictures with your heart, we can afford it."
Wang Chang said "Hey" when he heard this, waved his hand and said: "You must be careful when shooting, and the rules of the world must be followed."
Zhao Qiang didn't believe it and laughed: "In the Hong Kong film industry, it is the rule from director to actor to work together, right?"
Wang Chang waved his hand and sighed and said with a smile: "Aqiang, you only know one, but you don't know the other. In recent years, Hong Kong movies have been booming, and the box office has been getting higher and higher. It has exceeded 50 million, but in fact, filming
But there are fewer and fewer. Those toads in the Bay Area would rather import blockbusters from the United States than restrict Hong Kong movies, especially after the return to Hong Kong is confirmed. So now there are very few dramas, at least not for me.
Speaking of which, you have to think clearly about one thing. You all have mainland backgrounds, and the movies you make will definitely not be screened in Wanwan. Nanyang is not easy to get movies now... Forget it, Ah Qiang, you guys don't
This is a trip in troubled waters. Why don't you sell the script to me, and I'll take it to the port city to fish for it, and if there's meat, we can all eat it together, what do you think?"
Zhao Qiang smiled and said: "You have been calculating over and over again, but you just refuse to include the mainland?"
Wang Chang laughed and said: "It's such a large market, and Hong Kong people are not blind, how can they not see it? But so many people were sent out, and when they came back, they all shook their heads, saying what kind of crazy people would put their hope there.
It's too poor, too poor to imagine. And various data show that there is really no hope there. Qiang, Qingzi's books are so popular in Hong Kong Island. I heard that Zhong Sheng has sold the books to Nanyang.
The sales there are also very popular. Why don't you come to Hong Kong Island to develop together? Uncle Six thinks so highly of Qingzi, he will definitely have good luck and make a lot of money in the future."
Zhao Qiang wanted to say something else, but Zhang Qing stood up, stretched out his hand and said: "Director Wang, although I regret that I can't cooperate, I have always admired Director Wang's works and think that Director Wang has brought commercial films in Hong Kong to an artistic level.
A master. I hope to have the opportunity to see Director Wang’s masterpiece again in the future.”
Seeing him showing off his guests, Wang Changdeng was a little dumbfounded and wanted to speak. It was obvious that Zhang Qing was so talented that he didn't know how to speak at the moment.
Fortunately, seeing Zhang Qing about to leave without looking back, Wang Chang suddenly called out: "Qingzi, my father asked you to come to my house at night. He has found a house for you to rent."
"Okay, I will visit you in the evening."
…
"Damn, what are you dragging! Damn mainland guy, he stinks..."
All the way back home, Wang Chang was still cursing.
But he didn't expect that Wang Ruolin didn't go to the set today, but was at home.
Before he finished cursing, Wang Chang saw Wang Ruolin staring at him coldly, Wang Chang smiled and said: "Hey, Dad, why haven't you gone to work yet?"
Wang Ruolin glared and said, "What were you scolding just now?"
Wang Chang knew that Wang Ruolin had disliked him recently and knew that he was worried about him, so he didn't hide anything. He told everything about what happened in the morning and finally complained: "Dad, you are exaggerating, aren't you? A continent."
Zai, this is the end of the script, what does he know about movies?"
"Snapped!"
A newspaper was thrown away, and Wang Ruolin scolded: "Are you better at judging people than Uncle Liu? Even if he doesn't understand now, he won't learn? He writes so well and composes the most beautiful music. Such a person,
Why can't you write a movie? Also, I want you to learn from Qingzi how to do things down-to-earth and be a down-to-earth person. You are much older than him, and you are a little smart, but why have you gotten to this point? Still not convinced?
!Is it because Uncle Six admires him so much because he can write books?"
Seeing that Wang Chang just lowered his head, but obviously couldn't listen, Wang Ruolin shook his head and said: "It's useless to talk more. Don't go anywhere in the past two months, and don't make any more dirty movies. Follow me on the set."
Wang Chang was very anxious after hearing this. Although he had earned a lot over the years, he had spent more. Picking up girls and frequently going to Haojing to gamble a few hands. Not only did he not accumulate any savings, he also fell into debt. If not for this, with him,
With my current status, I won’t make salty movies.
If he really has to stop working for two months, he is not afraid of starving to death, but is afraid of being killed by loan sharks.
It's just that he didn't dare to talk about these bad things to Wang Ruolin. He only said: "Dad, the filming of "The Condor" has been completed, what else do you want to film? Why don't you let Qingzi follow me, watch me act, and let him be a
Director’s assistants should learn more.”
Wang Ruolin laughed angrily after hearing this, and said: "Going to make a salty and wet movie with you? You have been in the world for more than ten years. I think you have been in the world for nothing. What kind of person is the most popular in the world?
Are you good enough? Are you rich and able to fight? Let me tell you, you are a brain-eater. You are not lacking in cleverness, but you are not very smart at all. Oh, forget it, I won’t waste my time talking about you.
, you will understand if you follow it for a few more days."
In fact, he was not sure whether Zhang Qing could write a good movie. But Zhang Qing caught the eye of Qiao Beiyan and Li Fangjie, and Qiao Beiyan opened his mouth to support Zhang Qing in making movies. This was the first God-given opportunity.
Wang Chang couldn't even see this opportunity, which shows that he has been wandering around in the world for so many years, bad guy!
…
Central.
When I first arrived on Hong Kong Island, I couldn't see much else except densely packed high-rise buildings.
But when you get to Central and immerse yourself in it, you can truly see what it means to be extremely prosperous.
There are all kinds of luxuriously decorated shops, including gold, silver, antiques and jade, as well as clothing, food, housing and transportation, ranging from cars and yacht showrooms to barbecued pork for breakfast. It seems like everything in the world is available here.
Not to mention that Zhang Lan was dumbfounded, even Zhang Qing found it eye-opening.
Comparing the mainland, even Pingjing is hard to compare with.
However, the humanities are still far behind.
It was obvious that the group of people were from mainland China, and most of the store clerks looked at them condescendingly.
Even if he is not rude, his indifference and defensiveness are chilling.
It seems that if they are allowed to touch it, it will stain things, and they are watching their every move.
So I didn’t have a great time shopping...
"Brother, they look down on people so much."
While sitting on a stone bench at the corner of the street to rest, Zhang Lan said angrily.
Zhang Qing smiled and said: "You care about these things now because our mainland is not rich and powerful. When we become strong, it will only be funny to see them like this."
Zhang Lan couldn't understand and said in frustration: "When can we do this? I think it's impossible."
Zhang Qing smiled and said: "A year ago, do you think you would have come to Hong Kong City to experience this?"
Zhang Lan blurted out: "How is it possible? I couldn't even dream of this at that time..."
After saying that, she understood and started laughing.
"When you go back tomorrow, study hard. Sister Zhao will help you find a tutor to make up for your lessons. In addition to homework, you also need to read more books. There are many books in my study. Sister Hu Quan bought them, but they have not been opened. Of course
You can take it as a decoration and read it. Do you know what the use of reading is?"
On the streets of Central, where the air was filled with the smell of money, Zhang Qing looked at his sister and said with a smile.
Zhang Landao: "Like my brother?"
Zhang Qing said with a smile: "No. If you don't read more books, you can understand a little more truth. Those shop assistants are so rude because they don't read more and don't know the word self-cultivation. If they don't read more, no matter how nice they are,
No matter how high-end the place is, it is just an empty vase."
After Huadie finished drinking the soda, she smiled and said, "You are such a good brother. You never forget to teach your sister."
Zhang Qing smiled and said: "She has a lot of time to play, so I only have this little time to say a few more words."
He always felt a little indebted to this sister.
Not only did he go to the mainland for three years to attend high school, but he also attended junior high school in the county town, so he spent six years outside. During these six years, Zhang Lan fed the chickens, ducks, pigs, and dogs at home.
Speaking of which, his sister provided a large part of his tuition and living expenses.
Six years ago, Zhang Lanxu was less than seven years old...
For Zhang Lan, he would not only enrich her life and educate her, but he was also willing to spend energy and thought on cultivating her to become an excellent person.
Zhao Qiang and Wang Zitong came out of a leather bag shop after visiting a leather bag shop. When they saw Zhang Qing sitting here talking, they stepped forward and said, "The Hong Kong Stock Exchange is in front of you. Let's go and take a look?"
The Hong Kong Stock Exchange is located on the 12th floor of Phase 1 of the International Finance Center at One Harbor View Street in Central, where countless wealth gathers.
Of course Zhang Qing was interested. After letting Wang Zitong and Hua Die take Zhang Lan to eat delicious food, he and Zhao Qiang went there...
