Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0549: Movie industry boss?
The relationship between Nan Yi and Fang Mengyin could not be hidden from anyone who was interested, so from the day Nan Yi pushed Fang Mengyin to the public, he never thought of hiding the relationship between him and Fang Mengyin as granddaughter-in-law.
In fact, what Nan Yi needs is a grandmother who is rich but cannot pass on the family business to him.
You could say he has no money, but he has a very rich grandmother; you could say he has money, but his grandmother's family business will not be passed on to him, so strictly speaking, he is a petty bourgeois with a little wealth and some connections.
He can live a more comfortable life, but don't expect him to accomplish anything great.
It was not difficult for Pan Disheng to know about Nan Yi's relationship, and it was not difficult for him to guess that he was the major shareholder of Donglaiwu.
Outsiders who have no relationship with the company can only determine the ownership of Donglaiwu's shares through the disclosed list of shareholders, but people who have in-depth contacts with the company can fully understand the seemingly true essence from Wang Li's point of view.
Whether Wang Yan has the final say, Wang Yan's attitude towards Nan Yi, etc., can all serve as the basis for Pan Disheng to make certain judgments. It is not necessary to have ironclad evidence to convict someone, and "doubt" is enough to make a subjective judgment.
"Yes, the price is very reasonable. To be honest, I am preparing for an IPO recently, and I am a little short of funds. I wonder if Donglaiwu is interested in cooperating with D&B to take over Shaw Brothers' cinema chain?"
Nan Yi thought for a while and said, "I..."
"Michelle, you are here."
Nan Yi was about to speak when he was interrupted by someone who suddenly appeared.
The man had a Havana cigar in his mouth and walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, like a gang leader.
In fact, Nan Yi knew the visitor. Although he was not a big brother of the society, he was the big man behind the society. He was the boss of Ying Zhijie, the Deng Zhijie who would be cheated by the Sunglasses King in the future.
Looking at Deng Zhijie who was walking over, Nan Yi had a question mark in his mind, "Has Shadow Zhijie been established?"
Deng Zhijie pulled out a chair and sat down with a swagger, exuding a domineering air.
Nan Yi looked at Deng Zhijie and immediately associated him with the big boss in the movie. As soon as he appeared on the stage, he was the most domineering one in the whole show.
However, this kind of role usually does not have a good ending.
"Michelle, we at Dayong Films are going to start a new movie, and there is a role that is very suitable for you, you must agree. As long as you agree to play this role, I can guarantee that you will never encounter any trouble in your future development in Hong Kong."
As soon as Deng Zhijie said this, Nan Yi was stunned.
Zou Wenhuai and Run Run Shaw never said such words, but Deng Zhijie dared to say it? Just because he was the big man behind the society? Just because he was the sixth in the Silver Rat Team?
In the 1970s, many people from Hong Kong formed bands, even if they were just playing around.
One of the bands is called Silver Rat, which was inspired by Hollywood 's Dean Martin. It has a total of seven members and they are sworn brothers and sisters.
Among them, the eldest brother Zhang Chong is a veteran director and a second-generation figure in Hong Kong films;
The second brother, Xie Laosi, needs no introduction. He is nostalgic and loyal, and only likes young girls.
The third brother, Chen Ziqiang, is a famous agent who holds the agent contracts of many big stars;
Fourth brother Chen Hao, a senior screenwriter, one of the behind-the-scenes promoters of the entertainment industry, has a certain amount of power ;
The fifth brother, Qin Xianglin, was one of the two Qins who shocked the world.
The sixth brother is Deng Zhijie;
Seventh sister is fat...
Back then, the seven siblings had a very good relationship. If one of them had a new film or had difficulties, the other six would show up together. They valued loyalty.
These seven people combined do have a certain amount of power in the Hong Kong entertainment circle, but it is far from enough to threaten Pan Disheng's girlfriend.
"How did Mr. Deng know that Michelle and I were having dinner here?" Pan Disheng asked curiously.
Pan Disheng did not think that Deng Zhijie and they met by chance. He invited Michelle to star in Dayong Film's new film right away, and from what he said, it was probably not a good film.
"In Xiangkeng, nothing can be hidden from me as long as I want to know." Deng Zhijie said domineeringly.
"Did the government's deliberate indulgence of the society give him the illusion that he could challenge the rich?" Nan Yi looked at the tall and strong Deng Zhijie. He didn't think that Deng Zhijie would not know Pan Disheng.
Just yesterday, Nan Yi casually flipped through the newspaper and saw a lot of reports about Pan Disheng. Now Pan Disheng is the darling of the media.
Nan Yi picked up the cup and took a sip of water, then sat and watched how Deng Zhijie would end up.
"Mr. Deng, I'm afraid you are not as closed-minded as you think you are. You may not know everything about the Hong Kong entertainment industry." Pan Di said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
Deng Zhijie's face darkened and he said angrily, "Mr. Pan, are you disrespecting me, Mr. Deng?"
"Face is given by everyone, not to be stepped on by others." Deng Zhijie didn't know how to advance or retreat, and Pan Disheng didn't show him any mercy. He shook the wine glass in his hand and continued, " Mr. Deng , I'm having dinner with friends. Please leave and don't disturb our elegance."
Squeak!
Nan Yi's teeth felt sour. Pan Disheng's words sounded normal and were very appropriate at this moment. But such a normal sentence dragged him into the battle.
"This gentleman looks very unfamiliar. I have never seen him before. This meal can be eaten anywhere and at any time. It depends on who you eat with. Don't eat with the wrong person, or you will be affected."
Deng Zhijie shook the cigar ashes onto the table and said something quite learned, but the next sentence seemed a bit redundant, which reduced the weight of his words.
"I'm afraid this gentleman doesn't know my position in Xiangkeng. With just one word from me, Michelle can no longer stay in Xiangkeng."
"Oh, thank you for the reminder." Nan Yi nodded and said, "Mr. Deng's words are very knowledgeable. I am just a small screenwriter. I am writing a new script recently, but I have run out of inspiration and am stuck. But Mr. Deng's words and manners just now gave me new inspiration. I will tell you all about it and let you appreciate it and give me some suggestions.
The hero in my script is a big shot in the film industry. He is very successful in the film industry. He is full of self -confidence and thinks he is the only one who can do anything. Because of his success, his self-confidence is extremely inflated. He gradually becomes arrogant and looks down on everyone.
One day, his company was going to make a new movie, and they had their eyes on a confidante of a famous young man to play a role. He thought, if he had his eye on her, wouldn't she rush to curry his favor?
But who knew that they didn't give him face, and he was very unhappy, so he asked someone to find out, and found out that the young man and his confidante were having dinner in a Sichuan restaurant, so he hurried over to establish his prestige in front of the two of them. "
When Nan Yi said this, Deng Zhijie had already understood clearly that he was talking about him.
"The reason why a famous family can become a famous family is that they not only have status, but also have money. Coincidentally, this young man from a famous family has both. How can he let others trample on his face?
Naturally, the hero in my novel would be dealt with by the noble young master. Not only was he put into a sack and beaten up, but he also lost the kingdom he was so proud of. He was penniless and could only go out to beg for food on the streets.
The plot of my script turns here. During his begging days, he met Long Si, a con man who was once a big shot in Shanghai. From Long Si, he learned the top con skills. From then on, he turned into a dragon when the wind and clouds came, and he became a gambling king who roamed the underground casinos in Sham Shui Po.
The name of my script is "The King of Gamblers - Movie Tycoon Becomes Gambling King". Mr. Deng, what do you think of my story? Is there anything wrong with it?
Or, it can be changed to say that he did not meet Long Si, but met Wang Jiuguang, the top assassin of the Axe Gang, and mastered the top assassination technique, becoming a top killer in Asia that is feared by all?"
Nan Yi's story made Yang Ziliang so amused that she covered her mouth and laughed secretly; Pan Disheng pouted and secretly fell in love with Nan Yi.
"This sir, you speak very sharply and make sarcastic remarks about me, Deng." Deng Zhijie said with a stiff face.
"Mr. Deng, the face is given by everyone, but you lost it yourself. If you want to stay and eat together, then I will ask the waiter to add a pair of chopsticks." After Nan Yi finished speaking, he turned to Pan Disheng and said, "Mr. Pan, I am interested in your proposal. It seems that it is not convenient to discuss it in detail today. Let's make an appointment another day to have a good chat. However, I will not stay in Xiangkeng for a few days before I go on a business trip."
"Nansheng, is tomorrow convenient for you?" Pan Disheng asked.
"It should be possible, but I'm not sure. I'm waiting for an important call. If the call comes, I'll be busy dealing with other things. So, I can't decide the specific time yet. I have to trouble Mr. Pan to wait for my call. I'll make an appointment with you when I'm sure I'm free."
"No problem, I'll wait for your call." Pan Disheng agreed happily.
Nan Yi and Deng Zhijie were talking when he was so angry that his face turned blue. "Ignore, this is blatant disregard, I, Deng Zhijie, was ignored..."
Deng Zhijie really wanted to slam the table and overturn it, but when he thought of the boss's extensive network of contacts, he suppressed his anger.
He stood up, snorted, and walked away angrily.
The incident caused by Deng Zhijie soon passed, and the people present continued to toast each other, and the dinner proceeded in a friendly atmosphere.
Yang Ziliang's alcohol tolerance was indeed very good. Pan Disheng's tongue became hoarse from drinking, and Nan Yi was also a little drunk, but Yang Ziliang's face was just slightly red, and he looked very clear-headed.
In the end, she helped Pan Disheng leave first, and Nan Yi and Wang Li sat for a while longer.
After asking the waiter to make a pot of tea, Nan Yi took a sip and asked Wang Yan, "Do you have any ideas about the cinema chain?"
Wang Li did not tell Nan Yi in advance that Pan Disheng would also attend their dinner, which clearly showed his intention of acting first and asking for permission later in order to guide Nan Yi into the game.
“Yes, if there were no cinemas in Xiangkeng, we would be controlled by others and would have no say,” Wang Li admitted generously.
"Well, if you have something to say, just say it directly next time." Nan Yi took out his wallet and called the waiter to pay the bill. "Let's go. I know you like to go to nightclubs. Today I will go with you to broaden my horizons."
"Hey, let's go, Nansheng, I know a good place. The girls there are very hot. I'm very familiar with the mamasan there. Ask her to introduce some good ones to Nansheng. I don't want Qingxia or Maggie Cheung. I want GIGI and COCO. Foreign girls are good..."
Wang Li stood up with a lewd smile on his face and walked out with Nan Yi.
