Chapter 539: Only by giving up can you gain something

Cotai is a new city created on reclaimed land in Macau, where large integrated resorts such as Melco, Venetian and Galaxy are located.

Magnificent architecture and scaled-down versions of world landmarks are the hallmarks of this place.

Coming here is like coming to a shopping paradise and an amusement park.

This place is a standard modern city with clean and tidy roads. It is home to many luxury hotels, entertainment cities and shopping malls, forming the Golden Avenue.

Later it was also known as the concert capital and a holiday tourist destination.

Fang Hong and Liu Tianxian stayed at the Venetian Hotel here, which has a magnificent European palace-style building.

The luxury inside is comparable to that of a palace. It is the world's largest hotel with the largest investment. It is extremely extravagant and has a casino and comprehensive entertainment facilities.

If you feel like it, you can gamble a few games here.

Of course, their expenses are covered by the film festival, so they don’t have to pay for it themselves. If they gamble, they have to pay for it themselves, and the film festival will not cover it.

Just take care of your food and accommodation, and don't worry about whether you have fun here.

Free hotel accommodation will also be arranged for guests, celebrities and famous people who will attend the film festival.

Of course it's not just the Willis Hotel, there are other hotels along the street as well.

There are more than 20 luxury hotels and 6 guest rooms in this place, which is enough for celebrities to stay.

As for the fans, there is no need to make any arrangements. Those who come here to chase their idols usually have money and should contribute to the GDP of this city.

This is something that Fang Hong and the Macau side have a tacit understanding of.

The purpose of holding the Macau Film Festival is to attract people to travel here, have fun here, and gamble here.

There are so many celebrities and famous people who like to gamble that it’s hard to count them all.

Many celebrities and famous people come to this place to gamble and are even photographed, but they don’t care. Who doesn’t want to play?
It's normal to leave a few million here after the film festival if you feel itchy and want to gamble.

The Macau International Film Festival is held at the Galaxy International Convention Center, which is generally used to host international dignitaries and organize political activities.

This time, Macau was very powerful and took over this place to host this film festival.

There was nothing they could do. The principal was making such a big move, and they could only follow suit. They had agreed at the time that they would provide resources within their capacity and contribute half of the funds.

Director Tan gets angry when talking about this. When he heard that the principal was coming to Macau, he organized a dinner for him.

There were not only these two people at the dinner, but also Liu Tianxian, as well as Hou Miao, chairman of the film festival executive committee, and Han Jianv, chairman of the jury.

This person is naturally from Fang Hong's side.

On the Macau side, there are Secretary Tam, Chief Cui, Councillor He and other senior leaders here. I have met them all and they are considered to be acquaintances.

There is also another daughter, who represents the gambling king's family.

There are three major families in Macau, Ho, Cui and Ma!

"Principal, you have really hurt me this time." Director Tan said this with a smile when he saw Fang Hong. The two were very familiar with each other and there was no formality between them.

At this time they met at the door of a box.

Fang Hong was wearing a suit and tie, with his hair combed back and shiny. He shook hands with Chief Cui, Qian Jin and the others, and they nodded to each other.

I have basically seen these people. Even if I haven't seen them, I have heard of them, so there is no need to introduce them.

Qian Jin smiled kindly, shook hands with Fang Hong, and looked at the legendary principal carefully.

The principal is well-known and has stirred up trouble many times, so it's hard not to know about him.

The daughter is now a middle-aged woman. She no longer has the beauty and elegance she once had, but now she looks like a successful woman, graceful and elegant, and very conspicuous.

Liu Tianxian smiled and shook hands and nodded with these people.

She was wearing an orange dress, revealing her white calves, with her hair combed back and a bag in her hand. She looked fashionable and beautiful, yet had a queen-like demeanor.

Hou Miao and Han Jianv also knew these people and had come into contact with them when organizing the Macau Film Festival.

"This is obviously a good thing. How can you say that I am harming you?" Fang Hong finally shook Director Tan's hand.

"It's a matter that only costs tens of millions to solve, but you made it so big. I've worn out my lips this time." Director Tan complained.

A few tens of thousands were easy to deal with, but 50 million at once took a lot of running around to get it settled.

"It's all worth it. There's an old saying that goes, 'You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing the lamb.' First of all, you have to give in order to gain." Fang Hong said with a smile.

The others all laughed.

"The principal is right. It's always difficult at the beginning." Qianjin said.

"Yes, yes, yes." Director Tan nodded repeatedly.

With such a large-scale publicity and promotion this time, and with Liu Tianxian as the image ambassador, the number of tourists to Macau has increased.

As the Macau Film Festival approaches, more and more fans come here to see the stars. After all, many stars have agreed to come.

For example, stars like Fan Xiaopang, Zhang Ziyi, Li Bailian, Chen Daoming, Deng Chao, Huang Xiaoming and others, these people are bound to bring a large number of fans, and they have already announced their coming.

Huang Xiaoming owed Liu Tianxian a favor back then, and he had asked Liu Tianxian for help in reconciliation many times. He had to repay this favor.

Not only these people, but also Zhang Huijun from Beijing Film Academy and Zhang Hongsen, leader of the Film Bureau, will be present.

This guy really managed to pull off such a big lineup. Fang Hong didn't invite Zhang Huijun and Zhang Hongsen, they came on their own accord.

One of them is the president of Beijing Film Academy, and he wants to support his own people. He has also supported the Macau Film Festival before, and this time the situation has changed and he will support it again.

Zhang Hongsen came to see the excitement and see what the film festival organized by the principal was like.
The effect can be said to be great, otherwise Director Tam would not have organized this dinner party with so many leaders and celebrities from Macau coming.

Aren’t they all seeing the influence of the principal?

As for what I just said, it was just a joke, just a casual remark.

"Everyone, let's go in and talk!" The girl from the Han family pushed open the wooden door opposite the box.

What comes into view is a huge luxurious box with a large crystal ceiling, soft carpet on the floor, and luxurious European-style decorative furniture.

A group of people entered the box. There was a large round table in the middle of the box, just enough space for several people to sit.

Not far from the big round table is a large floor-to-ceiling window. Outside the window is the beautiful street scene with flashing neon lights and the harbor.

This place is close to the sea, and the sea is in the distance, but it is night now, and we can only see the flashing lights on the beach.

The scenery is beautiful, and it is a pleasure to eat and enjoy the scenery here.

The table was already filled with delicious food and wine, including big lobsters and crabs, one of which almost took up the entire plate, they were so big.

There are also other fish, clams, and oysters. This place is close to the sea, so there are more seafood. In addition, there are also local specialties such as Portuguese chicken and braised duck with eight treasures, which are very rich.

Fang Hong pulled out a tall chair for Liu Tianxian. Liu Tianxian adjusted her skirt and sat down. Then she pushed away the chair next to her and asked him to sit next to her.

"The relationship between the principal and Miss Liu is truly enviable." Officer Cui sat down.

"You should take care of your own wife." Fang Hong said and sat down.

"Hahaha!" Everyone present laughed.

The two groups of people sat down clearly separately. Fang Hong, Liu Tianxian, Hou Miao and others sat on one side; opposite them sat the people from Macau.

Liu Tianxian put her bag aside, looked at the person opposite her and said with a smile: "This guy from my family, don't look at him as a bit reckless, he is actually a very careful person."

"It can be seen that the principal is still very responsible, otherwise we would not have entrusted this film festival to him." Commander Cui nodded.

They all saw how big this event was, except that a bit too much money was spent.

"So, sometimes you can't judge a person by his appearance, you still have to look at his inner qualities. Appearance is easy to deceive." Liu Tianxian was trying to make up for Fang Hong.

People outside don't have a good impression of her man, so she tries to say good things about her man in such occasions.

After all, among these people there are business celebrities who are familiar with many people in the mainland, so the news might spread.

"It seems that Tianxian, you have seen through the principal's inner qualities and that's why you fell in love with her!" said Officer Cui.

"That's not."

Liu Tianxian admitted it immediately, and put his hand on Fang Hong's hand on the table and said: "He still has many good qualities inside."

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. As for this person, as long as you like him/her, it's fine. Whether he/she is suitable for you or not, you will know best after you have spent time with him/her."

Officer Cui looked at the others and heard him say again, "I have watched them come here. I can see that they have a good relationship and that the principal has always been true to his heart. This proves that the principal is definitely not a bad person.

Of course, I am comparing with the majority of people in the secular world. Among the majority of people in the secular world, how many people can achieve the level of a principal and still remain the same after marrying a fairy?"

Everyone else nodded, agreeing with what he said.

Having achieved such a high level in his career as a principal, who is still so young and has been dating Liu Tianxian for many years, he should have been tired of it a long time ago.

But the feelings between them are very deep.

They have seen too many people who live a life of debauchery and extravagance. After playing with women, they play with men, and after playing with men, they play with neither men nor women. It's simply explosive.

"Of course I'm saying this to you. Everyone here knows each other, so there aren't many outsiders," Chief Cui added.

"Let's have a drink!" Councillor He stood up and raised his glass, motioning for everyone to drink.

The table was too big, so everyone had to stand up and clink their glasses together. They drank casually, some drinking it in one gulp, while others took sips.

After that, they all sat down again, and Director Tan said, "Thank you for your hard work at this film festival."

"It's all my duty. My personality is that since I've accepted this job, I have to do it well and perfectly." Fang Hong said in a rather gangster-like manner.

He patted Hou Miao's shoulder and said, "This is a specialist in planning game competitions with Swan Castle. Every year, they plan hundreds of global competitions of all sizes and have a wealth of experience."

"'Heroes' Glory'?" Chief Cui asked.

"Yes, I have been the one planning the competition for this game since the beginning. This is already the third year. I will also be planning a competition for 'Honor of Kings' next year," said Hou Miao.

"Sometimes experts can't plan as well as laymen," said Chief Cui.

Even if she hadn't watched those film festivals, she was familiar with them, after all, she had some connections with the entertainment industry in the past.

Anyway, the results were not ideal.

"That's true." Director Tan agreed.

Liu Tianxian was peeling shrimps for Fang Hong's bowl and listened to their conversation without interrupting them.
