Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0550: The Lion Descends the Mountain, the Dragon Emerges from the Sea
Wang Li really brought Nan Yi to a "very good" place, which made Nan Yi, who was ready to embarrass himself and turn himself into a bad guy, become bored.
What the hell GIGI and COCO, Nan Yi wasn’t there at all, not even a bunny girl. There was only Xiao Fengjie on the stage wearing a fluffy skirt, holding a microphone and singing "Upstream and Downstream".
Wang Li, a sex-hungry ghost, actually brought Nan Yi to Haicheng Restaurant and Nightclub for church service today.
Haicheng Restaurant Nightclub is a Chinese-style nightclub, similar to the performance bars of later generations. It makes money by performing shows and encouraging the audience to buy flower baskets and sell tickets. Nothing that should be found in a "nightclub" is found here.
Let’s put it this way, Haicheng Restaurant Nightclub is a place where “capable” singers perform on stage. Whether a singer’s singing skills are good or not, and whether he has mastered the art of pitch tuning, can be seen by whether he dares to come to Haicheng to perform on stage.
Being able to perform on stage in Haicheng is a symbol of popularity and audience appeal, and is also a strong proof of one’s singing skills.
Although the Hong Kong Coliseum has been built, the poor box office performance of Teresa Teng's Christmas concert last year has discouraged many singers from performing in Haicheng.
But not everyone can come to Haicheng if they want to. Who are the nine pillars of Haicheng?
Xiao Fengjie, Roman Tam, Zhen Ni, Taiwan's singing king Qingshan, Yao Surong, Jing Ting, Ling Bo, Wu Yingyin, and the new generation of Danny Chan.
Even though the rivalry between Tan and Zhang has already begun, when it comes to making money from singing, Xiao Fengjie has to be the one to win.
Nan Yi sat for a while and found out that Sister Xiao Feng had performed 42 consecutive shows here. Today was an encore show. Her appearance fee was 100,000 yuan per show. Just by performing in Haicheng, she had earned 4.3 million this year.
If we only consider the appearance fees and film remuneration, Xiao Fengjie has firmly secured the top spot on the Hong Kong celebrity income list this year.
Listening to the song, Nan Yi felt that Wang Yan was really a good person. He was able to help him stop at the brink of the abyss and pulled him back, preventing him from becoming someone he hated.
Nan Yi glared at Wang Yan's lecherous face and thought to himself, "I must repay you well."
A performance here in Haicheng lasts 1 hour and 15 minutes. I didn’t expect that today’s extra show would have a little surprise. In the last 15 minutes, Wu Xiaofeng left the stage and Luo Wen came on stage to sing "The Flying Dagger of Xiao Li" and "Under the Lion Rock".
"In the setting sun, one's spirit becomes stronger. When the sun sets, there is no need to panic..."
"Nansheng, a dozen dwarf mules appeared outside the nightclub. I recognize the leader. He is the double-flowered red-stick mountain tiger from Lian Gong Le."
Hearing the school beauty's whisper, Nan Yi stopped patting his thigh, "Xiangkeng is a society ruled by law. If more than three people gather in public places without approval, it can be considered an illegal assembly, not to mention that they are just a few short mules. Call the police station."
The illegal assembly in Hong Kong is similar to the crime of hooliganism in the mainland. Both are pocket crimes, which are very useful for dealing with dwarf mules. It's okay when the police ignore them, but if they want to find fault, they can directly disperse people or take them to the police station.
Even though it is common for dwarf mules to go to the police station, it does not mean that they are willing to go to the police station. As long as the military uniforms come, the dwarf mules outside Haicheng will run away.
"Deng Zhijie really thinks he is the boss of Hong Kong. He sends people to deal with me without even knowing my background?" Nan Yi muttered and continued listening to the song.
"Nansheng, is there something wrong?" Wang Li turned around and asked when he heard the noise.
"Nothing, Deng Zhijie sent a few short mules." Nan Yi said, holding up the wine glass and continued: "I have asked someone to call the police, drink."
"Deng Zhijie is looking for trouble, Nansheng, do you want to find someone?"
"No, we just need to wait and see what Pan Disheng will do. If he asks his girlfriend to make a movie, no matter how good-tempered Pan Disheng is, he won't tolerate this."
"Yeah, as a man, I can't stand it." Wang Li nodded and said.
"As for the cinema chain, if you want to participate, then do so. It's just leasing, not selling, so it doesn't make much sense. We shouldn't invest too much money. Donglaiwu can invest as much money as it can. I won't take out any more money."
"Nansheng, you don't need to take any more money. You just need to become a shareholder of the cinema chain and ensure that Donglaiwu's films are released smoothly. Now that Uncle Six has withdrawn, it will be a problem for us to distribute the films in other places."
"As for the overseas areas, you have to find the relationship between Taiwan and South Korea by yourself. You don't have to worry about Japan and Southeast Asia. I will have someone to connect them.
The Fang Group has invested in building multi-functional shopping malls in Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok, which have cinema halls. They will be completed soon and the theaters will definitely be rented to the cinema chains there. We can take this opportunity to establish good relationships with them.
In fact, in Taiwan, you can try to find a powerful Taiwanese film company to become a shareholder in Laiwu. The momentum of Hong Kong films is on the rise now. As long as you release the news, I think many big players will rush to invest. "
"Nansheng, since you know the momentum is good, why are you still willing to distribute the shares?" Wang Li said in surprise.
"You can't make enough money. It's impossible to keep every penny in your own pocket. Instead of holding on to it, it's better to invite powerful allies to make the pie bigger together."
Nan Yi is now considering finding a buyer for Donglaiwu in the future. He will first bring in a new shareholder from Taicun to improve Donglaiwu's performance.
In the 1990s, they arranged for Donglaiwu to be listed, and after the thawing period, they sold all the shares, cashing out before the golden period reached its peak, without making a single penny.
Xiangkeng is born with deficiencies. The dream of an Eastern Hollywood is nothing but self-satisfaction and a mirage. No one can realize this dream, let alone Nan Yi, a time traveler who has little enthusiasm for movies. Even if there are tens of thousands of time travelers who regard movies as their life, there is no hope.
The idea of relying on the mainland and looking towards East Asia is totally unrealistic. Who has ever seen an aunt who only feeds her nephew instead of her own son?
According to Nan Yi, if Hong Kong movies want to recreate the glory of the 1990s which has not yet arrived, they need to wait until after 2067 , when the nephew will call his aunt "Mom", abandon the special treatment as a guest, get along well with his cousins, and become a member of his aunt's family. Then it will be possible.
If only there had been a generational shortage of film talent in Hong Kong at that time!
It is precisely because the ceiling of the film and television industry is too low to bear his expectations that Nan Yi did not spend too much energy in Hollywood; it is precisely because the future of Hong Kong films is confusing and destined to decline that he is ready to be a deserter as soon as he joins.
The film and television industry is just like the manual work that Nan Yi does in his spare time, earning a little money to supplement the family income, but he never expects to support his family with it.
Wang Ming said, "Since Nansheng is thinking this way, then it is not possible to find a powerful shareholder. Recently, many Taiwanese film producers have come to Hong Kong to develop. I have some friendship with a Taiwanese film producer named Wu Xing. He was born in the Bamboo Union Gang and is very powerful in Taiwanese."
"Well, you can try, but you have to make it clear to him first that we in Donglaiwu only do legitimate business. I don't want his past identity to have any negative impact on Donglaiwu."
"learn."
Nan Yi was thinking whether he should find another South Korean shareholder. The South Korean film industry is not doing well right now, but the economy is booming, and there are many people with money in their pockets. Finding a shareholder who is rich and passionate about movies can also build a bridge of communication for him to enter the South Korean entertainment industry in the future.
The Finance Group of the Intelligence and Policy Committee has already deduced the trajectory of South Korea's economic development and concluded that South Korea's economic development model is simply building a tall building on a cone, with an unstable foundation. At some point in the future, with just a slight push, their economy will collapse.
Shorting South Korea is the plan that the South has set out to do.
In recent years, Nan Yi would also take time to go to Seoul for a while to knit Nan's South Korean gloves, and by the way, meet the beautiful woman who looks very similar to Liu Zhen.
Nan Yi is thinking about the Xing Group very much...
When Nan Yi and Wang Li walked out of the Haicheng Restaurant and Nightclub, they could no longer see any dwarf mules at the gate. Instead, there were many food trucks parked there doing midnight snacks, some selling boat porridge, chicken wings and braised pork.
"Going for a midnight snack?"
Wang Yan asked, "Where are we going?"
"Go ahead."
Wang Yan thought for a moment and said, "Nansheng, do you know about the High Street Haunted House?"
"Nonsense, how could I not know such a famous place?" Nan Yi spat.
"There's a mass grave in front of the mental hospital on High Street. There are a lot of food stalls there. It's very cool at night. Do you want to give it a try?"
"Are you trying to scare me? What the hell is this mass grave? Everyone knows that the George V Park used to be a mass grave."
Nan Yi can't be scared by ghosts and spirits. If there really are female ghosts in this world and they are beautiful, Nan Yi wouldn't mind having a "ghost story".
They drove quickly to the high street in Sai Wan. When the car passed the mental hospital, Nan Yi listened attentively.
In the 1970s, there were many ghost stories about this place. It was said that when people drove past here, they would hear screams coming from inside. However, in the 1970s, the building was actually vacant and there was no one inside. So the sounds heard by drivers became the subject of various versions of ghost stories.
"Did you hear any screams?"
Nan Yi listened for a while and only heard the noise of a running car, so he turned around and asked Wang Li.
"No."
"There is a DV in the car. Why don't you go in and take some pictures? Maybe you can get some good footage." Nan Yi said playfully.
Wang Yan trembled all over and said, "Nansheng, don't tease me. If I really take pictures of something I shouldn't take pictures of, it will scare people to death."
"Haha, let's see if you dare to play a prank on me next time. If I get angry, I'll have someone throw you in there, lock you up overnight and then let you out." Nan Yi pointed at the mental hospital and spat.
"Haha, I'm afraid of seeing ghosts. Male ghosts are okay, at most they can go three circles together, but if it's a female ghost, it will be troublesome. I'm afraid my small body can't handle it."
"You still want to see a female ghost? I think a female psychopath is more like that."
Nan Yi and the other person chatted along the way, and the car soon arrived at George V Park.
"Where are we going?" After getting out of the car, Nan Yi looked around and asked.
"Deji hit the cold."
"Chaozhou cuisine is fine too."
Nan Yi glanced ahead and saw De Ji’s light box.
Glancing through the light box toward where the table was set, a familiar figure came into view.
"It's so late, why is Ruan Mei here? Doesn't her family live in a squatter's house in Sham Shui Po?" Nan Yi thought to himself, and walked up to Ruan Mei and said, "Teacher Ruan, why are you here?"
Hearing the voice, Ruan Mei, who was eating ginkgo sweet taro paste, raised her head and saw that it was Nan Yi. A sweet smile immediately appeared on her face, "Nan Sheng, why are you here?"
"Of course we're here for a midnight snack. What about you? Why are you running all the way from Sham Shui Po to eat here in the middle of the night?"
"No, Mommy and I have moved to High Street. I was studying at home and got hungry, so I came downstairs to get something to eat."
"Oh, it's too late for a girl to go out alone next time. This is a high street."
"Hehe, Nansheng, do you believe those rumors?" Ruan Mei covered her mouth and laughed.
"Whether you believe it or not, you'd better be careful. Are you full? If not, come and eat more with us." Nan Yi pointed at Wang Li and said, "Director Wang Li, he's a movie director. If you want to be an actor in the future, you can look for him."
"Yes, miss, you are so beautiful. If you want to make a movie, call me." Wang Ming said, taking out a business card and handing it to Ruan Mei.
"This is Ruan Mei, Miss Ruan."
Nan Yi deliberately emphasized the two words "Ruan Mei".
Wang Ming nodded to show that he understood. He knew that the girl in front of him was Miss Yi, not Miss Ming whom he could not even think about touching.
Ruan Mei took Wang Ming's business card in her hand, looked at it, and then put it in the front pocket of her shorts.
Ruan Mei was just eating something at the doorstep, so she was dressed casually, with a long, loose T-shirt on the upper body and white shorts on the lower body, which was a popular way of dressing for girls in summer.
"Teacher Ruan, what else do you want to eat? Just give it some." Nan Yi said after sitting down next to Ruan Mei.
