Chapter 327: The Nobodies and the Future Big Bulls

Looking at Guan Jiahui who appeared at the venue, Li Changhe was a little curious.

Although today's cocktail party is called a celebration party, it is actually not large in scale and no celebrities from Hong Kong Island have been invited.

In essence, it was just a celebration of the cooperation between the two teams, and some media reporters from financial newspapers were invited.

After all, their company is just a newly registered small company. Although Pierre Cardin has some reputation, it is not as famous in the East as in the West.
It would not be an exaggeration to call it an internal celebratory party.

In this situation, it is quite magical that Guan Jiahui appears here.

"How did you come?"

Li Changhe looked at Guan Jiahui and asked curiously.

Guan Jiahui was a little reserved at the moment. After all, this was her first time attending such a business reception, and it was said that her partner was a world-class fashion designer.

"I came here with Director Wang, but when we got here, Richard told us that the company was holding a cocktail party."

"Director Wang thought it would be a good opportunity for me to broaden my horizons, so he applied to Mr. Wei and we were able to get in."

"This is also a way to accumulate experience for future filming."

Guan Jiahui explained to Li Changhe carefully.

Li Changhe nodded upon hearing this.

"It's just in time that you're here."

"This is Mr. Pierre Cardin!"

"Pell, let me introduce you, this is Miss Guan, an actress from my film company!"

"Oh? A movie company?"

"Vic, you still have a film company?"

Pierre Cardin asked in surprise after hearing Li Changhe's introduction.

"Of course, Per, don't you think that movies are actually the best advertisements, especially for our clothes!"

"Think about the clothes we produce. If they wear them and show them to the audience in the movie, I think this will be better than many advertisements!"

Li Changhe said to Pierre Cardin with a smile.

After listening to this, Pierre Cardin fell into deep thought for a moment, and then nodded in admiration.

"Vic, you do have a great idea."

"Movies are indeed a very good way to promote products. In fact, in the past, the costumes of movie actors would set the trend."

"But it seems that no one has intentionally used movies to promote clothing like you have."

Pierre Cardin felt that Li Changhe's ideas were always unexpected.

"That's because Europe has always valued art. Of course, the most important thing is that trends don't represent the masses, right?"

"Pell, since you are a costume master, why don't you give our actress some pointers on what style she should go for?"

"You know, only if she becomes a star can she promote our products better!"

Li Changhe saw through Guan Jiahui's intention of coming over, but he didn't mind helping.

It's always good to have a master like Pierre Cardin to give Guan Jiahui some advice.

At least the other person has become famous and you are the one who makes money.

"Of course, let me take a look!"

At this time, Pierre Cardin looked Guan Jiahui up and down, and then couldn't help shaking his head.

"Little girl, I have to say that your dress choice tonight is very bad. You are probably not old enough to support a dress with such a waist."

“Also, your face shape.”

Pierre Cardin was indeed a professional. After just a few glances, he began to give Guan Jiahui comprehensive advice.

At this moment, Guan Jiahui was listening carefully to Pierre Cardin's advice. Thanks to her knowledge of English, she could understand what Pierre Cardin said.

So even if she was criticized, she listened carefully. After all, to her, it was all advice.

Li Changhe listened for a while and felt bored. After all, he couldn't understand many of the professional terms Pierre Cardin used.

He simply looked around, and then saw the fat boy Wang Jing and a few others sitting there obediently not far away.

Seeing Li Changhe's gaze looking at him, Wang Jing immediately stood up, and then saw Li Changhe waving at him.

"Ah Feng, A Dong, let's go, Mr. Bao is calling us!"

Seeing Li Changhe waving at him, Wang Jing immediately called the two young men next to him, and then quickly came to Li Changhe.

"Mr. Bao!"

When Wang Jing arrived, he immediately greeted Li Changhe respectfully.

Li Changhe nodded, then looked at the two young men beside Wang Jing with some curiosity.

Seeing this, Wang Jing immediately introduced Li Changhe to him.

"Mr. Bao, these two are the crew members I invited to our company."

"This guy is Du Qifeng. He's the executive director of the crew that I found. He's my father's right-hand man. I poached him from Shaw Brothers."

"Hello, Mr. Bao!"

Du Qifeng, who was in his twenties at the moment, greeted Li Changhe very respectfully after Wang Jing introduced him.

"This is A-Dong, Cheng Xiaodong, the action director. Mr. Bao, didn't you say that the fighting scenes in movies must be beautiful? The moves designed by A-Dong are all very cool."

"The action direction for last year's hit movie Heavenly Silkworm Reborn was designed by A-Dong."

"And Mr. Bao, Adong's father, is the first director in Hong Kong to make gambling movies. The Gambler's Scam was made by Adong's father."

At this time, Wang Jing was working hard to improve Cheng Xiaodong's resume.

Although Li Changhe's face remained expressionless, he was actually quite surprised.

Unexpectedly, Wang Jing recruited two big names with just one move.

To be honest, if you talk about faces, Li Changhe may not recognize them. Even if these two people stood in front of him, Li Changhe might not be able to recognize them.

But Li Changhe really knew the names of these two people.

Du Qifeng is fine, his representative works were actually in the 1990s. Li Changhe remembered having seen "Infernal Affairs" filmed with Andy Lau. Meng Jiahui on the bus was still very beautiful back then.

However, Cheng Xiaodong was indeed a rare talent in the 1980s, and his action design was comparable to that of Mr. Yuan Sanye.

He was the action director for movies like "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "New Dragon Inn" and "Hero".

It’s hard to say how good Cheng Xiaodong is as a director, but as an action director, he is truly a great guy.

Seeing Li Changhe looking at them without saying anything, Wang Jing felt a little uneasy at the moment.

To be honest, the two people he recruited are not up to standard at the moment.

To put it bluntly, Du Qifeng is just a handyman at TVB. He is just quite appreciated by his father, and Wang Jing is also very familiar with him.

Cheng Xiaodong is not even considered a member of TVB. He just keeps running back and forth between various TV stations, working for this drama, designing action for that drama, and so on. He sounds like a big name, but he is actually just a street urchin.

It is not an exaggeration to say that these two people are unknown figures in the Hong Kong film and television industry.

But Wang Jing had no choice. He was just a nobody now. To be honest, if he was asked to form a crew, he had no other choice except to poach people from Shaw Brothers.

Moreover, he couldn't poach the big guys from Shaw Brothers, so he could only poach some minor talents like Du Qifeng and Cheng Xiaodong.

At this moment, Wang Jing didn't know what the two would achieve in the future. He just hoped that Li Changhe wouldn't despise him and think that what he dug up was trash.

That's why he tried his best to promote the qualifications of the two people to Li Changhe.

"It seems that both of you are talents found by Ajing. Since you are willing to join Planet Pictures, I certainly welcome you."

"Ajing must have told you about our company. The salary is definitely top-notch in the industry. Most importantly, we are willing to support newcomers." "As long as you work hard, the company will give you opportunities to display your talents in the future."

"Don't doubt that I'm lying. After all, Ajing is your role model, and I trust him very much."

Li Changhe smiled and painted a big picture for the two of them.

Of course, it’s not a big deal. If the two of them are really capable, they may be directors in the future.

Wang Jing was also excited when he heard Li Changhe's words.

At least Li Changhe's words made what he boasted to Du Qifeng and Cheng Xiaodong come true.

"How about it, Afeng, Adong, I've told you a long time ago that Mr. Bao values ​​young people very much."

"You guys will definitely be able to show your talents when you come to our company. We will kick Shaw Brothers with our feet, beat Golden Harvest with our fists, and compete with Cheng Long at the box office!"

As Wang Jing was talking, he started to talk nonsense and even shouted slogans like "punch the Shaw Brothers".

"Thank you Mr. Bao for your recognition. We will definitely do a good job in the future."

At this moment, Du Qifeng and Cheng Xiaodong were also extremely excited.

Before they came, they already knew Li Changhe's identity, the nephew of the ship charter king.

Although I have never heard of this young master before, he gave Wang Jing two million Hong Kong dollars in one go to make a movie. The money has already been received, so how could it be fake?
What's more, today they saw a cocktail party in collaboration with a world-renowned designer, who is the top fashion designer in Europe and is very impressive.

If such big shots value them in the future, then they can be said to have a bright future.

"Well, do your best in the future. I expect each of you to become a great director."

"Ajing, you can take them to have fun from now on. If they drink too much at night, you can book a room at the Peninsula Hotel and put the cost on the company account."

Li Changhe casually instructed Wang Jing.

Even though he knew that the two would become big names in the future, Li Changhe did not have much enthusiasm. After all, they had not grown up yet.

Besides, when they grow up in this life, tens of millions of box office revenue will be nothing to Li Changhe.

Now he knows the future achievements of the two people, and it’s good enough that he can give them a chance.

"Okay, Mr. Bao, you go ahead and do your work. We'll just stay here for a while!"

Seeing this, Wang Jing immediately tactfully took Du Qifeng and Cheng Xiaodong away.

Li Changhe was able to express his appreciation for them just now, which was enough for Wang Jing and the others.

After finding a new sofa to sit on, Wang Jing said to Du Qifeng and Cheng Xiaodong with a smug look on his face: "How about it, Afeng, Adong? I've already told you that Mr. Bao thinks highly of me and will give you a chance."

"I'll let you in on another piece of news. In the future, our company will have its own cinema chain."

"Theatre?"

Du Qifeng and Cheng Xiaodong were really surprised when they heard Wang Jing's words.

For a film company, having theaters or not having theaters are two different concepts.

“The company wants to build its own cinema chain?”

Du Qifeng asked in a low voice.

"I don't know. Anyway, Mr. Bao told me personally that the company will have its own cinema chain in the future."

"Otherwise, the company would not have prepared so many scripts. I've already said that the company has prepared more than a dozen scripts. They are definitely going to make a big move next."

“How much money does this cost?”

Cheng Xiaodong said in astonishment.

"Tsk, money? What's money?"

"Do you know how much money the company will invest in this cooperation with the foreigners tonight?"

Wang Jing said arrogantly at this time.

"How many?"

Du Qifeng asked hesitantly.

Wang Jing spread his thumb and index finger apart and made the shape of eight.

"Eight million?"

Du Qifeng shouted out loud.

"Eight million? Ah Feng, you underestimate Mr. Bao. You are working with a foreigner. Eight million? How dare you say that?"

"Add another zero to the end, eighty million!"

"Eighty million?"

Cheng Xiaodong and Du Qifeng's eyes widened.

"Yes, that's 80 million, and I'm telling you, the unit is US dollars!"

"80 million US dollars, not Hong Kong dollars!"

"I heard someone talking about this in the bathroom. Mr. Bao took out 80 million US dollars to cooperate with this foreign guy."

"So you understand, two million Hong Kong dollars to make a movie is just a drop in the bucket for Mr. Bao!"

"The cinema chain is not bragging. After all, even if Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest's cinema chains are added together, they can't sell for 80 million US dollars."

"What's more, who is standing behind Mr. Bao? It's the Bao Chuan Wang, the top boss in Hong Kong Island now. He and Mr. Shao are from the same hometown."

At this moment, Wang Jing processed and polished the gossip he had heard without hesitation and boasted to Du Qifeng and Cheng Xiaodong.

The two of them were stunned, and then looked at Wang Jing with envy in their eyes.

This little fat boy is really holding on to a big thigh!
On the other side, after Wang Jing took Cheng Xiaodong and Du Qifeng away, Pierre Cardin and Guan Jiahui also finished their talk.

In fact, there is not much to say. Pierre Cardin only needs to give her a few pointers.

"Thank you Mr. Cardin!"

After listening, Guan Jiahui stood up and spoke respectfully to Pierre Cardin.

"Go find Wang Jing and the others. If you don't want to go home, you can book a room in a hotel tonight."

Seeing that Pierre Cardin had finished talking to Guan Jiahui, Li Changhe nodded and said to Guan Jiahui.

Guan Jiahui nodded and then left quickly.

"Vic, is this your little girlfriend from Hong Kong Island?"

"She is very beautiful, no less beautiful than your girlfriend in Beijing."

After Guan Jiahui left, Pierre Cardin asked Li Changhe curiously.

He had met Zhu Lin once in the capital.

"No, she's just an actress signed by my film company, not my girlfriend."

Li Changhe heard this and shook his head.

Pierre Cardin smiled and said, "Believe me, Vic, the way she looks at you is very different."

"In fact, I think that if this little girl were your female companion, she would be a good match for you."

"Besides, you are in Hong Kong Island, not inland."

"Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you."

"You know, in Europe, the rich and powerful all have many lovers. This is not uncommon in the upper class."

"Women are often a resource!"
