Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 891 Shaolin Temple

Everything was settled, and Chen Changan continued to stroll around the major shopping malls in Hong Kong Island.

What I buy the most are actually all kinds of clothes. Clothes from the mainland are still too conservative.

Although given Chen Changan and Zhu Ling's positions, it is not appropriate for them to wear overly exaggerated clothes.

But the children are still young, so it’s okay for them to wear some cute clothes.

Especially the youngest daughter, who is the apple of Chen Changan’s eye.

Besides, Li Chenglin was not able to come with Chen Changan this time. If I don’t bring some gifts for Li Chenglin after returning, I don’t know how many days he will nag me.

After shopping around for a few days, Chen Changan discovered that electronic watches and calculators were small products that sold very well in Hong Kong Island.

According to Chen Changan, there are thousands of small factories producing electronic watches in Hong Kong Island alone.

These two things basically have no technical content. After I go back, I will see if I should set up a branch factory. Even if I can't make money overseas, at least I can monopolize the domestic market.

A few days later, Mr. Huo came to the hotel and found Chen Changan.

"Zhang Mingmin has already been contacted, and he is very willing to participate in the recording of the Spring Festival Gala. But there are some problems with Miss Deng."

“The government on the other side won’t release people?”

"That's not the case. Miss Deng herself is very willing to go. But she has some reservations.

The main thing is the attitude of the other government. After all, it is impossible for Miss Deng to never go back.

Once Ms. Deng goes to the mainland, I wonder what the attitude of the government there will be.

If Ms. Deng is banned, her future acting career will probably be over.”

Chen Changan nodded to show his understanding.

"We can't just think about ourselves in this matter. So, talk to Miss Deng.

I respect any choice she makes. If she is under pressure and cannot go to the mainland to record the program, she can choose to give the recorded videotapes to me.

If you still have concerns, you can consider developing in Hong Kong Island. Our partner Liaoyuan Entertainment can accept Ms. Deng.

I can also write a few songs suitable for Miss Deng.

If they still don’t want to, we won’t force them and can only choose to change players.”

After Mr. Huo understood what Chen Changan meant, he turned and left.

Then Chen Changan thought that since the entertainment company had been registered, there couldn’t be no movement at all, so he returned to his room and began to prepare to write the script for the movie.

I chose movies because the popularity of televisions in the country is still not high.

There are no companies willing to sponsor it, so it would be extremely difficult to make a profit.

But it’s different for movies. There are many cinemas in both Hong Kong Island and mainland China.

Ah Chao, who was standing aside, thought that he would go shopping with Chen Changan today.

I didn't expect that Chen Changan would choose to go back to the hotel and start writing.

Achao took a curious look and saw three big words "Shaolin Temple" written on the white paper.

Mr. Huo was very efficient. Chen Changan had just made the request at noon, but he returned to the hotel in the evening.

"I've already talked to Miss Deng. She will send over the videotapes of the three songs."

Chen Changan was a little disappointed. In fact, he would have liked to have signed the other party to his own entertainment company.

If you write a few more songs that are more suitable for her voice, the entertainment company's reputation will immediately become famous.

Maybe the other party also felt that a so-called shell company was not reliable at all, and did not think that Chen Changan had the ability to write songs.

"Okay, that's it, I hope Miss Deng can send the videotape over as soon as possible.

This trip to Hong Kong Island can be regarded as completing the task assigned by my superiors.

The rest is up to our entertainment company."

As Chen Changan spoke, he handed the manuscript paper in his hand to Mr. Huo.

Mr. Huo was a little confused at first, but after taking the manuscript paper handed to him by Chen Changan and looking at the three big words "Shaolin Temple", he asked in surprise.

"movie script?"

Seeing Chen Changan nodding with a smile, Mr. Huo began to read the specific contents on the manuscript paper carefully.

Time passed little by little, and Chen Changan did not disturb him, waiting patiently for Mr. Huo to finish reading.

“What a great story.”

"How's it going? Not bad, right? Now that this entertainment company is established, it's impossible for me to do nothing, right? Otherwise, why would I establish an entertainment company?

Otherwise, when I return to the mainland, I don’t know when I will come to Hong Kong Island again, so I might as well write the script first.”

Although the Huo family's business does not involve the entertainment industry, they know a little about movies.

"Basically, the protagonist needs to be very good at kung fu.

Hong Kong does have some martial arts stars, but I don’t know if they meet the requirements.”

Chen Changan already had a candidate in mind for the leading role, and even had a candidate for the director.

“Don’t worry, the script is not yet complete, let’s talk about it after I finish writing it.

There is no rush to select candidates, as the most important thing at the moment is to build a professional team.

As for the selection of actors, it is naturally left to the director to do. As for the director, I think my sister is a good choice.”

At this time, Mr. Huo was already stunned. He really didn't expect that Chen Changan had this plan.

"The director is your sister? Ms. Chen Xiujuan? The registered person of our company?"

"Yes."

At this time, Mr. Huo really didn't know what to say.

He regretted it a little bit. The investment in making a movie was not a small amount. If no one watched it, then all the money would be gone.

Even professional entertainment companies are extremely cautious when launching a film project.

Although the Huo family is optimistic about Chen Changan's future development, the entire Liaoyuan Entertainment Company is just an empty shell at the moment.

Even if a team was formed, so what? A half-baked team, plus a director who was still in school.

Such a combination looks like a makeshift team no matter how you look at it, and it doesn't look like they can make money at all.

If he had known that Chen Changan was planning to make a movie, he should not have said anything about the Huo family providing the funding.

Originally, it was thought that Chen Changan only had some talent in writing songs, so the company signed a few newcomers casually, and Chen Changan wrote songs for these newcomers to release albums.

In this way, the Huo family can just invest some money and it will be enough for Chen Changan to play for a long time.

But now, the big talk has been made, and Chen Changan has even written the script. This doesn't seem like a casual joke.

Mr. Huo asked, stuttering a little.

"Then, how much do you estimate the investment for this film will be?"

Chen Changan thought for a moment and said.

"It will cost about HK$200 million. After all, the story is mainly about the Shaolin Temple.

Most of the time is spent in mainland China, and several of the main actors are newcomers, so 200 million Hong Kong dollars is enough."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Huo first breathed a sigh of relief, at least Chen Changan did not ask for an exorbitant amount of money.

However, even 200 million Hong Kong dollars is still a considerable sum of money.

The Huo family can take out this money, but they cannot let Chen Changan do whatever he wants.
