"Ah Fa, Ah Hua, what a coincidence."
Xu Jiajun walked forward with a smile.
"Xu Sheng, you are here too." Zhou Runfa was a little surprised, and then he quickly stood up and asked him to take a seat.
Chen Meiqi looked at Xu Jiajun with some doubts. She quit filming after marrying Ma Qingwei and worked as a full-time housewife at home, so she didn't know Xu Jiajun.
Chen Yulian saw this, held her hand and introduced with a smile: "This is Xu Sheng, a model policeman who has made countless contributions to the police force. Happy Ghost, which has a box office of over 10 million, is his company's first film."
"Hello Xu Sheng, nice to meet you." Chen Meiqi had heard about Happy Ghost. She forced a smile on her face and stretched out her delicate hand.
Xu Jiajun smiled and held it. It felt cold and delicate to the touch, and said: "The strong man that Ms. Chen and Ah Fa collaborated with was wonderful. It's a pity that I heard that you will no longer take roles after marriage. Otherwise, I would look forward to working with you."
For example, get the new white lady out in advance.
Get her out by the way.
After all, Young Master Ma is busy outside with his busy schedule, so he will definitely not be able to take care of her.
"Maybe there will be a chance in the future." Chen Meiqi was not very interested, so she forced her hand back with a smile.
She was feeling depressed today because Ma Qingwei was out having fun again and got angry at her when he came back, so she made an appointment with Zhou Runfa and the others to drink and talk.
Chen Meiqi acted with Zhou Runfa when she was 16 years old, and Zhou Runfa also took care of her as his little sister during filming, so she and Zhou Runfa had a good relationship.
But now there is an unfamiliar Xu Jiajun. She has a lot to say, and the atmosphere is a bit stiff for a while.
Ren Dahua noticed this and quickly changed the subject: "Xu Sheng, when will the filming of A Hero Become a Hero start? I can't wait."
The company he is currently working for is called Binbin Film Company. The boss is Ye Zhiming. Last year he made several good films, but this year had a bad start. It looked like it was going to go downhill, and he couldn't get any of it.
What kind of resources are there? Just hope that the hero’s true nature will make him popular.
If the true character of a hero is really popular, then he will change his career and directly sign with Oriental Pictures.
Xu Jiajun and his eldest brother went through life and death.
Could he still treat himself badly?
"The filming will start in the middle of the month at the latest, just before Ah Fat finishes filming Shanghai Beach and has some free time." Hui Jiajun and Simon Yam clinked glasses and said with their legs crossed.
This time Dongying not only wants to film the true colors of heroes.
At the same time, we have to start shooting Wen Bixia's debut film "Pretty Girl" in the original time and space. This film cost 1.2 million to shoot, but it was able to win 10 million at the box office in 1982. It is also a small-scale film.
This project was given to Gao Zhisen and Liu Weiqiang.
Xu Jiajun just came over to say hello, and left after chatting for a few words, because he saw that his presence made Chen Meiqi unable to say what she wanted to say.
The next day, March 7, Fa Yuen Street, Mongkok.
Four new stores of Hui Jiajun opened.
They all sell OEM products. His original intention is to imitate the most expensive products at the lowest price so that ordinary people can satisfy their vanity and use famous brands.
In the early stage, they imitate clothing, and when the funds are withdrawn, later on, shoes, bags, etc. can be sold as fakes.
Only by staying true to your original intention can you gain money!
Dragon and lion dances were performed in front of the shop, and the gongs and drums were noisy.
It soon attracted a large number of passers-by.
"Wow, look, look, they are all famous brands. They are sold so cheaply. Are they real or fake?"
"Madam, of course it's true. We cooperate directly with the manufacturer, so we have discounts..."
Business was extremely hot on the opening day, and all four shops were packed with people. It can be expected that other shops on the street will soon follow Xu Jiajun's example.
Xu Jiajun was happy to see this, and formed a sales team with a young man named La Jiang to recommend his factory to them and let them purchase goods from him, otherwise they would not be able to get a piece of the market.
After all, there is no end to business. As long as he controls the source, he can make a profit as a supplier.
As the real boss, Xu Jiajun did not attend the opening ceremony because he had more important things to do.
He had just been summoned by Li Junxia, who had authorized him to communicate with the mainland regarding the placement of the female victims of the "Lek Fook Tea House" case.
After all, he was involved in this case, and he was a model policeman trained by the Xiangjiang Police Force, and not many people were willing to do such a thankless job.
So it naturally fell on him.
After the case broke out, people there also took the initiative to seek communication with the British Hong Kong authorities on the matter. The person in charge of the matter was President Wang of the Xiangjiang Branch of Xinhua News Agency.
When Xu Jiajun came to Xinhua Club, he was informed by President Wang's secretary that President Wang was in a meeting and placed him in the reception room before rushing to inform President Wang.
He had some impression of President Wang as a big shot and had deep connections with the Hong Kong and Macao offices.
Therefore, his unwavering patriotic attitude can be conveyed most directly through his mouth.
While he was thinking about it, the door of the office was pushed open, and an energetic middle-aged man in a gray suit walked in with a smile, and extended his hand enthusiastically: "Officer Xu, I have admired you for a long time, thank you
It was only by destroying the devil's nest of Liufu Tea House that so many girls escaped from its clutches."
"President Wang, you are too polite. Just call me Ah Jun. These are what I should do as a policeman." Xu Jiajun stood up quickly, stepped forward to shake hands with President Wang, and replied in standard Mandarin.
President Wang's eyes lit up, he looked at Xu Jiajun with some surprise and said, "Ajun, can you speak Mandarin?"
Judging from the information they have, although Xu Jiajun's father is a veteran of the Kuomintang, Xu Jiajun was indeed born and raised in Xiangjiang.
And now he can actually speak Mandarin.
This is undoubtedly a surprising discovery.
"My ancestral home is Sichuan Province. My father was captured by the Kuomintang and was forced into adulthood... and finally settled in Xiangjiang. He taught me to speak Mandarin since I was a child, and he always thought about returning to his hometown one day." Although Xu Jiajun loves to talk about trains, this is
I didn't lie this time.
President Wang's attitude suddenly became more enthusiastic.
The two chatted in the office for an hour, and finally President Wang personally escorted Xu Jiajun out of the door.
"call--"
Standing at the door of Xinhua Club, Xu Jiajun exhaled heavily, with a smile on his lips.
After getting in the car, I called Li Junxia.
"Director Li, the matter has been settled."
………………
March 8.
Happy Ghost was officially released last night and took in 12.3 million box office in 23 days of release, breaking the local box office record in Hong Kong and becoming the highest-grossing movie in history.
"Happy Ghost's 12 million box office is astonishing!"
"New company, new director, new actors, new producers, the grass-roots team set a box office record!"
"Ajun! You are so awesome!" At home, Zhao Yazhi, who had just finished filming Shanghai Beach, was even happier than Xu Jiajun.
I dropped the newspaper and threw it into his arms.
Xu Jiajun laughed, hugged her and kissed her hard, then said: "Sister, don't forget the bet."
Zhao Ya, who was still excited at first, blushed immediately when she heard this and felt extremely shy. When she made the bet with Xu Jiajun, she really didn't expect that a small production with a cost of less than one million could win 12 million at the box office.
That's why I agreed to that ridiculous bet.
I really feel like crying now.
"Ajun, how about changing to another one..."
"Sister, I'm willing to admit defeat." Xu Jiajun interrupted her, hugged her and walked out: "There happened to be a box office to add to the fun, I will collect the bets now."
"Ah! No, I'm not prepared."
Half an hour later, a car parked on the roadside emitted bursts of subdued nasal noise that sounded like crying, making passers-by blush.
It was Xu Jiajun and Zhao Yazhi. Zhao Yazhi was frightened, ashamed and angry, and almost cried.
"Dingle bell! Dingle bell!"
Big Brother suddenly rang.
"Hello." Xu Jiajun answered the phone, doing two things at once without missing a beat.
"Hahahaha, Ah Jun, congratulations, you have made a movie called Happy Ghost. You are now famous in the entire Hong Kong film industry." Lei Juekun's hearty laughter came.
Xu Jiajun chuckled: "Boss Lei is happy with me, I make money, isn't it you who make money?"
"Hahaha, let's make a fortune together, Ajun. Now that the movie has been drawn, shouldn't our contract be officially finalized?" Lei Juekun is now afraid that Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest will steal people from him.
Xu Jiajun agreed: "Okay, I'll come over when I finish my work. Where can we meet?"
"My office." Lei Juekun replied.
Then the two ended the call.
After Xu Jiajun and Zhao Yazhi finished, they took her with them to discuss the contract with Lei Juekun. Sister Xu was indeed a good actress. Although there was nothing under her skirt, she had no stage fright and was calm and relaxed in front of Lei Juekun.
After negotiations, the contract was finally finalized.
From now on, films from Oriental Pictures will only be released in Lydia Cinemas, with Lydia being responsible for overseas distribution. Lydia will give priority to films from Oriental Films.
Of course, if the attendance rate of a certain film is not good, Li Sheng also has the right to reduce the number of screens allocated to it in order to stop losses, or even cancel the film in advance.
The split is the same as that of Happy Ghost. After deducting entertainment tax and publicity and distribution costs, the final box office is 50% to 50%.
Audio tapes and other peripherals are from Guidong Film.
Lei Juekun originally wanted to become a shareholder of Film and Television, but after Xu Jiajun proposed a share swap between East Film and Lydia Cinema, he stopped mentioning the matter. After all, in his eyes, East Film's shares were not as good as Lydia Cinema Line's.
High value.
He wouldn't change it unless he was stupid.
Anyway, now that Lisheng Cinemas has been revitalized, he can still invest in other film companies to support other film companies to compete with East Film, and there is no need to become a shareholder.
At the same time, the Guan family.
Guan Shan was sitting on the sofa, staring blankly at the news in the newspaper in front of him that the box office of Happy Ghost exceeded 10 million.
I have mixed feelings in my heart, thinking that when he won the Best Actor, the box office was only a few dollars, but now it has exceeded 10 million, which is really scary.
"Dad, I have something to tell you." Guan Jiahui ran to Guan Shan in a suspender skirt, pointed at Xu Jiajun in the newspaper and said, "I'm dating him."
She is a woman who knows how to find opportunities.
"In a dream?" Guan Shan thought she was joking.
"Really!" Guan Jiahui snorted with a proud look on her face: "Brother Jun really likes me."
Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, Guan Shan's face gradually became serious: "How did you two meet?"
"That's it..." Guan Jiahui recounted the acquaintance process, and took the initiative to brush up her father's favorability for Xu Jiajun: "Brother Jun has wanted to visit you for a long time after we started dating, but I never told you, for fear that you would know.
Then I got angry, so I didn’t allow him to come.”
"Invite him to come to our house for dinner when you have time." Guan Shan is not opposed to his daughter having a boyfriend, let alone such an outstanding potential stock as Xu Jiajun, so he couldn't help but praise: "My taste is not bad, just follow me."
"Hehe, of course, it's hereditary." Guan Jiahui hugged his arm coquettishly, paying attention to his expression from the corner of her eye, pursed her lips and said: "Dad, I have something to ask you, Brother Jun is filming a new movie
He's short of money, I promised to help him, but you can't ignore me."
"Are you kidding? He is short of money?" Guan Shan clicked on the bold font of 12.3 million in the newspaper.
If Xu Jiajun hadn't been short of money, he would have suspected that the other party was trying to defraud his daughter of money and sex.
"Oh, Dad, Brother Jun said it's very slow for theaters to receive their share of the money." Guan Jiahui pouted and leaned her head in his arms: "Brother Jun borrowed it but didn't ask for it. Are you still worried that he can't repay it? I
What if I can’t help you and he dumps me.”
"You also said that I have good vision. It will not be easy to find a good son-in-law for you. Brother Jun also said that he would let you become a manager in his company and give you double your salary."
Guan Shan had a strange expression and felt something was wrong.
You spend the money I have saved so hard to sleep with my daughter who is as beautiful as a flower, and you still want me to work hard for you. You want to eat up both my father and daughter!
But then I felt like I was overthinking it.
How can the young man have any bad intentions? He just wants to borrow money. Anyway, just have an IOU. Giving him double his salary and letting him become the manager shows that he trusts himself and that he loves Jiahui.
As a father himself, he has to help his daughter keep up his reputation: "I only have a family fortune of around two million..."
"It's okay, Dad, it's fine as long as it comes to your mind. Brother Jun won't be too little." Guan Jiahui smiled.
Guan Shan: “…………”
Sure enough, girls are outgoing.

At noon on March 8, Da Touhua summoned three of his confidants to his home for a meeting.
"At 11 o'clock tonight, the shipment will be shipped from Kwai Chung Pier." After finishing his words, Da Touhua looked at Shan Renhui: "Ah Fai, go and prepare the guy now, just in case."
"No problem, boss." Lan Renhui was loyal to Da Touhua. He did whatever he said. He put down the wine glass in his hand, got up and walked out of the villa.
Watching Lan Renhui go out, Da Touhua sneered, just to give him the opportunity to report the news, and said to Mad Cow and Taishan on the left and right: "You follow me to the warehouse to get the goods, and we will trade at Sansheng Palace in Fanling at 11 o'clock."
Mad Cow and Taishan were stunned at the same time, because Datouhua would never take them to the warehouse before.
"Boss, Ah Hui..." Taishan said tentatively. He was the undercover agent assigned by Dai Liqin, so he knew what happened, but he pretended not to know.
"Yes, he is an undercover agent!" A look of ridicule appeared on Da Touhua's face, and he said in a triumphant tone: "The police officer wants to use the undercover agent to mess with me, so I will use the undercover agent to mess with them in turn, and see who can play with whom."
"Damn! This bastard, I have always regarded him as a brother, but I didn't expect him to be a pawn!" Mad Cow lowered his head and cursed fiercely, looked up at Da Touhua and said: "Big brother, wait until you finish using him.
When the time comes, let me kill him with my own hands and let him vent his anger."
"Okay, no problem." After finishing speaking, Da Touhua looked at Taishan and said gently: "I won't get off the bus tonight. You are responsible for the transaction. Don't let me down."
Mad Cow is brave and foolhardy, explosive and angry, so he has always been most optimistic about Taishan taking over from him in the future.
Taishan had been with him for several years, but he had only been promoted to his side in recent years, so when he first knew there was an undercover agent, he was the first to suspect Taishan.
And now that his suspicion has been cleared, he can continue with his training plan.
"Yes, boss." Taishan nodded, took out the cigarette butt from his mouth, and put it out in the ashtray.
