Exciting 1979!

Chapter 493 Amin brandishes weapons, and a constellation of little devils gathers.

Hong Kong was very hot in July. Fortunately, we had air conditioning at home, but we didn't set it too low because Wei Ming and Sister Xue were completely exposed, so their every move was clearly visible to them.

Afterwards, Wei Ming was covered in a thin layer of sweat. Xue Jie gently wiped him with a towel and then covered him with a thin blanket. At the foot of the bed was a pair of stockings that Xue Jie had worn before, but they had been torn. Xue Jie was heartbroken.

Looking at his sister's rosy cheeks, Wei Ming felt that he could still fight, and he would allow himself to recover. However, he would be busy from the next day.

The next day, Gong Xue was going to visit her sister Gong Ying and her mother at her home. As soon as she left, Wei Ming immediately called Amin.

Zhou Huimin knew last night that Wei Ming had come to Hong Kong, but she didn't disturb him when she heard that he was going into seclusion.

“Amin, go to the company, I’ll introduce you to someone.”

The companies mentioned here refer to a pair of music companies. Although they only have one artist, Vivian Chow, and most of their business is done in cooperation with other companies, they still rented an office and hired two employees.

Zhou Huimin said, "I'm afraid I can't today. I have to attend a funeral. Why don't you come too?"

"Funeral? Whose is it?"

“Jenny Tseng’s husband, Brother Fu Sheng’s.”

Three days ago, Fu Sheng was in a car accident and eventually died. It is said that there were two cars involved at the time, and there is suspicion that they were racing.

As the saying goes, there are countless roads, but safety is the most important. Wei Ming only uses his car as a tool to save time, and there's no need for him to speed.

For weddings, people don't get invited unless they're invited, but for funerals, people come uninvited. Wei Ming and Sister Zhen Ni are friends, so I should still go.

So he changed into more solemn clothes and drove to pick up Vivian Chow.

As for Wei Hong, she went to the stock exchange again. She had heard in Beijing that China and Britain were about to start the second round of negotiations, so there would definitely be a surge in the market.

As for Xizi, his grandparents took him to the Ocean Park today, and he's already so happy he doesn't even miss his brother.

Once in the car, Amin asked, "Whom did you mean by introducing me to the company?"

“I collaborated with a musician on ‘The Shepherd’s Spring’ who is skilled in traditional instruments, and I wanted him to participate in the production of the album ‘Mo Mo Mo’.”

Amin said, "Then let's meet again after the funeral."

"okay."

Fu Sheng was a Shaw Brothers artist, a favorite student of Chang Cheh, and considered a near-top-tier action star in Hong Kong. Moreover, his family was well-off.

He played Guo Jing in the film version, and his role as Xiao Yu'er in Chu Yuan's film "The Legendary Twins" was one of the more important roles in his life.

Last month, the film "Playboy," starring him and written and directed by Wang Jing, was released and grossed over 700 million yuan at the box office.

On the day this person left, quite a few people came to see him off.

First and foremost was his heartbroken wife, Jenny. Fu Sheng was only 29 years old, and they didn't even have a child.

Then there are his parents, brothers, and his master, Zhang Che.

Chang Cheh is preparing a new film, "The Thirteen Protectors of Shanghai Beach," which features the characters "Instructor Quick Knife, Prodigal Rich Man, Young Master Student, Bear, Tiger, Eagle, Leopard, Glasses, Cigarette Holder, and Long Spear Cannot Escape."

This film would have brought together all of his disciples, including Wang Yu, Ti Lung, David Chiang, Wu Ma, Danny Lee, Chen Kuan-tai, and naturally Fu Sheng, who was originally cast as a "student." However, he passed away, and the role later went to Andy Lau.

Many people from Shaw Brothers also came, including Lau Kar-leung, who was filming Fu Sheng's new movie, as well as Hung Chin-po and Jackie Chan, who were rivals of Shaw Brothers but were also action movie stars.

Also, Jenny's friends in the music industry are all acquaintances of Vivian Chow.

When Wei Ming and Zhou Huimin appeared together, people in the industry basically assumed that the two were a couple.

Jenny usually enjoys watching the two of them, but now, thinking about her lost love, she feels even more heartbroken.

She bowed to the two men to express her gratitude as their widow, and Wei Ming Amin said "Take care" before going inside with everyone else.

In this solemn atmosphere, many people wanted to chat with Wei Ming, but felt it was inappropriate and had to give up.

After the funeral, Hung Chin-po and Jackie Chan chased after him. Hung Chin-po was beaming. "Lucky Stars" was performing very well at the market, with every screening sold out for three days. The total box office was expected to be no less than 2000 million, far exceeding his previous personal best. It might even surpass "Aces Go Places 2" to become the year's champion in 83.

The box office difference between the two films in the original timeline was only about 100 million, but this time "Lucky Stars" also has the influence of the original comic book.

In addition, Hung Chin-po brought Mr. Chow's instructions this time: "Golden Harvest still wants to make a series of films based on the 'Lucky Stars' series, and hopes to continue our cooperation."

This comic strip ran for over a year, and the Lucky Stars brothers experienced many stories. Each episode was very exciting and could be developed into several movies.

Madman Comics can not only get licensing fees, but also boost magazine sales, so it's a win-win situation.

Wei Ming said, "Just have Jiahe contact Minglong Media directly."

“Minglong Media?” Hong Jinbao glanced at Wei Ming, then at Cheng Long. “Are these two doing something behind my back?”

The Dragon Ball manga is now also paying homage to Jackie Chan.

"Yes, it's been renamed. Minglong Media is now the parent company of Kuangren Comics."

"Have you watched 'Lucky Stars'? Do you have any suggestions?" Hong Jinbao asked again.

"We just arrived yesterday, and we had plans to visit today." Wei Ming glanced at Amin.

Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long immediately understood. Cheng Long smiled and said, "We're also going to Europe to film soon. I hope we can have a meal together before we leave."

Wei Ming: "Then let's do it tomorrow night."

He and Amin went to a restaurant for lunch. Perhaps because they had just experienced a life-or-death situation, Amin was in a rather depressed mood.

Thinking of how Jenny cried her heart out, she couldn't imagine what she would feel when Ah Ming died.

"Amin, you really need to exercise regularly, you know?" Amin suddenly said.

Wei Ming smiled and asked, "I'm in great health, you'll see later."

Amin blushed and said, "That's not what I meant. I meant I don't want you to die before me."

So that's the reason. Wei Ming gently held one of her hands: "I'm six years older than you, and the average lifespan of men is generally shorter than that of women, so there's a high chance that I'll live longer than you. But since you've said that, I'll definitely try my best to live a long and healthy life."

In the private room, Amin hugged Wei Ming tightly until the food started to be served, at which point she felt embarrassed and pulled away, realizing she had been being a bit too dramatic.

Wei Ming felt a warm feeling in his heart, along with a bit of guilt. He wondered what he had done to deserve such devoted girlfriends. He couldn't give them his unwavering love, so he could only try his best to help them reach the pinnacle of their careers.

Now he's starting to think about what songs Ah Min should sing on her second Cantonese album. As a Hong Kong diva, she has relatively few representative Cantonese songs, and there's also the plan to break out of the Chinese music scene.

The studios and Holiland are in the same office building, occupying a small space. They have no recording equipment, but they have a variety of musical instruments.

After making inquiries, Hu Weili came over on his own and had been waiting for a while. There were only two female employees in the company: a manager and a receptionist.

Although they didn't interact much, Hu Weili had already heard several songs by Zhou Huimin, the only artist in the company. It turned out to be "Pink Memories".

This is Vivian Chow's most well-known song in mainland China. Hu Weili is a musician and listens to more of her songs than the average person, so he is also familiar with Vivian Chow's Cantonese songs such as "Rarely Have a Lover," "My Favorite," "First Love," and "I Like You."

Moreover, these songs were basically all composed by Wei Ming, and Hu Weili knew without a doubt that Wei Ming and this singer had an unusual relationship.

He soon met the person in question. Wei Ming did not directly mention his relationship with Vivian Chow, but after a brief introduction, he told her about the album "Mo Mo Mo".

Hu Weili first listened to the three songs that had already been recorded and felt that they were interesting, very traditional, very classical, and very similar to Teresa Teng's "Light and Elegant Feelings".

However, the songs that followed blazed a new trail, taking a step further on the style of "Light and Elegant Sentiments".

Upon seeing these great songs, Hu Weili suddenly felt completely refreshed and now just wanted to work.

Seeing that the old gentleman could play any instrument with ease and was also well-versed in music theory, Zhou Huimin knew that Amin had found her a great master. So she told the manager to give Mr. Hu Weili complete authority and that he could just buy any equipment he needed.

Wei Ming participated throughout the entire process, except for a brief visit to Holiland at the top of the stairs. He sat in Uncle Liu Bin's general manager's office and learned about Holiland's current situation.

Liu Bin said, "We have now opened 32 Holiland stores in Hong Kong, 3 in Macau, and more than a dozen more in preparation. This year, we officially started to enter the Taiwan market. The first batch of 3 stores has been well received, and the second batch of 12 stores has also officially opened. We will continue to expand the Taiwan market. The more stores we have, the lower our costs and the higher our profits."

That already makes 50 stores.

However, Wei Ming felt that the market was far from saturated. In his previous life in Hong Kong, there were more than 200 KFC and McDonald's stores.

Liu Bin said, "There's also Nian Nu Jiao milk tea shop, which just started this year, but it's opening very quickly. After all, the shops are small and the costs are low. There are already 23 shops, and new shops will open every week. Moreover, the profits of milk tea shops are very considerable."

Finally, he said, "The flour mill and oil press in my hometown of Ping'an County are also under construction and should be open by the end of this year."

Wei Ming asked, "Opening stores so quickly, you must be heavily in debt, right?"

“We were 50 million yuan in debt before, and we’re about to break 100 million yuan. So I took out another big loan,” Liu Bin said as he walked to the map in his office. “Asia is a weak point for fast food giant McDonald’s, so we plan to expand overseas next. Singapore, Japan, South Korea and Malaysia are all within our reach.”

Finally, his gaze fell on the red section: "Of course, we have been communicating with the mainland, and now we are just waiting for the policy."

That is indeed a market with great potential, and being first is very important.

After talking with Uncle Bin, Wei Ming went back to being a couple and even wanted to have dinner and watch a movie with Amin.

During the meal, she said to Wei Ming, "This Mr. Hu is from the mainland. It's a pity. I was hoping to sign him."

Wei Ming said, "Sign it. Teacher Hu is immigrating here soon. As long as the benefits are good, it's fine."

"That's great! I really need a knowledgeable senior like this by my side, but our company is too small." Zhou Huimin said somewhat embarrassedly.

"What does it matter? Just don't stop him from taking on jobs outside," Wei Ming said with a smile.

Hu Weili's output is terrifying. The output of Duoduo, Dream Factory and Minglong alone is probably not enough to satisfy him. In his previous life, he worked at TVB for more than ten years and left behind nearly a thousand musical works.

Today I finally saw "Winners and Sinners". As the hottest movie right now, the theater was almost full. Amin had to wear a mask to avoid being recognized.

Wei Ming couldn't help but think that the best thing would be to date his two older sisters in Hong Kong and then bring Amin back to the mainland to date.

Watching this movie, Amin finally understood what they were filming on the day she visited the set.

She couldn't help but pinch Wei Ming's thigh: "This Hong Jinbao is so lewd in his acting." Wei Ming nodded in agreement, but why did you pinch me if he's lewd?

When Wei Ming saw the special thanks to "Wei Kuangren" at the end of the movie, he realized that, theoretically, he had written the story.

"Was it good?" Amin asked Wei Ming as they left the movie theater.

"It's pretty good, and you get to see Jackie Chan and his two fellow students, as well as so many other stars like Chin Han, in one movie. It's great value for money."

“Isn’t it missing Chung Chu-hung?” Amin nudged Wei Ming’s shoulder.

“Cherie Chung? Oh, I almost forgot that Cherie Chung also acted in this movie.” Wei Ming laughed.

There's a swimsuit scene in the movie featuring Cherie Chung, which is very sexy. Even as a woman, I think Cherie Chung's figure is very alluring, especially her big butt.

"Amin, why don't I stay at your place tonight?" Amin suggested, as she wanted to play with her weapons again.

Wei Ming firmly disagreed: "Who knows if Xiao Hong has gone home? And Auntie is definitely worried about you not coming home at night."

Although he didn't take Amin home, he drove to Victoria Peak, found a secluded spot, and parked there. Let Amin play whatever she wanted; little girls are just playful, after all.

After taking Amin home, he wandered around outside for a while, and only went home after recovering a bit. There was another child waiting for him to feed at home.

When Zhou Huimin got home, she found Wei Hong at her house. She regretted not going to A Ming's house instead, as she was always on edge in the car.

Wei Hong said to Zhou Huimin, "Amin, how much money do you have left? I feel like our chance is coming!"

"Oh, what do you say?"

“A company called Emego is going public. I’m optimistic about this company. Their ceiling fans are focused on the North American market and are not affected by the Hong Kong economic environment. Their prices should rise!” So ​​Wei Hong came to Amin for money to do him a job.

Zhou Huimin trusted Wei Hong's intuition completely and said she would go to the bank with her to transfer money the next day.

Liu Luanxiong was unaware that his first listed company was being targeted by two young girls, but their financial resources were not substantial, so the impact on him was minimal.

Moreover, the next day, Wei Hong saw another news item that would affect the Hong Kong stock market.

She immediately called home to tell her brother.

Gong Xue answered the phone and was about to reply when he heard Wei Hong's voice coming from the receiver. He quickly woke Wei Ming up and told him to answer the phone himself.

"Brother, are you listening?"

"I'm listening~"

Wei Hong said, "I saw in the Wenhui Daily news that the British representatives arrived in Beijing yesterday and are about to start negotiations again!"

Wei Ming rubbed Xue Jie's leg; it seemed the negotiations were about to enter the second phase.

The first phase involves determining the negotiation rules and personnel. In the second round, the two countries will discuss matters involving core interests, which will inevitably lead to intense clashes. Neither side will easily back down at the beginning.

Wei Hong: "Brother, what do you think of this?"

Wei Ming analyzed: "The negotiations will definitely not go smoothly. At that time, the people of Hong Kong will probably be in a state of panic. I guess the Hong Kong dollar will plummet. However, when it falls to a certain level, the Hong Kong government will definitely have to introduce policies."

Wei Hong nodded: "I know what to do."

Wei Mingdao: "Are you trying to use leverage?"

Wei Hong: "I've been studying leverage recently. I know it's a double-edged sword. Don't worry, I won't be too aggressive."

Wei Ming thought for a moment and then said to her, "There's no need to be too conservative. Also, I'll transfer you 300 million US dollars."

"Wow, the boss is awesome!"

After hanging up the phone, Gong Xue rubbed his head: "Several million dollars, in US dollars, what are you trying to do?"

Wei Ming moved his hand upwards: "It's just some financial games. Let Xiao Hong play by herself. Even if she loses, it's only a little over three million US dollars."

Hearing her boyfriend's nonchalant tone, Gong Xue knew that he must have a large amount of assets in addition to HSBC in Hong Kong. She wondered if her and Sister Lin's child would really fight over the inheritance in the future.
"Sister, I'm going to Langning today, what about you?"

Gong Xue said, "Aying has a check-up today, and I want to go with her."

“That’s good, let’s learn in advance,” Wei Ming said, stroking her lower abdomen. “You’ll definitely have to go through this in the future.”

Although he was still young, he knew that the older women were getting too old to wait any longer. He and Sister Xue agreed that they would take a break after finishing this film, and the same went for Sister Lin.

I always have film contracts on hand, so I don't dare to go all out with my projects.

"Sister, why don't you learn to drive? It'll be so convenient to go anywhere in the future," Wei Ming said to Gong Xue.

Gong Xue laughed and said, "Actually, I've already learned to drive. I took my driving test in Hong Kong last time."

"Ah!" Wei Ming exclaimed in surprise, "Then let's buy a car tomorrow. Taking a taxi is inconvenient and dangerous."

Gong Xue did not refuse; their relationship no longer needed to be so clearly defined.

Upon arriving at Langning Company, Wei Ming went directly to Li Zhi, who had rented a unit in the same office building as the office space for Hong Kong Dream Factory. Gao Zhisen was basically stationed there, while Huang Baiming would occasionally come to visit.

The main characters have been basically confirmed. Now we are setting up the set and casting the actors. The main characters are Ah Bin's four older brothers and sisters. They don't have many scenes, but they appear at the beginning and the end.

The ages of the two boys and two girls are set at around ten to sixteen or seventeen years old.

Wei Ming asked Li Zhi, "Do you still remember Li Jiaxin, who filmed an advertisement with us before?"

Lizhi said, "Yes."

"how old is she?"

"13 is old."

"Her age is quite suitable; she can play the second sister."

Thinking of that little vixen, Lizhi hurriedly said, "It's not quite suitable, because we've already made a decision for Second Sister. Ms. Xia Meng wants to use Fu Qi and Shi Hui's daughter, who is also 13 years old."

As she spoke, Lizhi handed over a photo of Gigi Fu.

Princess Gigi Fu, it turns out she's the same age as Michelle Reis.

This film also received some investment from Bluebird, and its distribution channels also need to leverage the power of the left wing; we have to give them face.

"Then forget it. Are there any other people with connections?" Wei Ming asked.

Lizhi laughed and said, "You guessed it. Mr. Zheng's son at PolyGram is 11 years old this year. We wanted Tam Yung-lun to make a cameo appearance, and we mentioned that we were short of a young actor, so he was recommended to play the second brother."

Wei Ming thought for a moment about Xiao Zheng's appearance: "He doesn't look like a biological son."

Xi Zi and Fu Mingxian are both adorable children with fair skin and big eyes.

"However, humans inevitably have some mutated genes, so let's go with this one."

Those with connections took the second brother and second sister spots, and then the eldest brother and eldest sister had to be chosen.

The eldest brother is quite crucial. The script portrays him as a hardcore gamer, and he will be tasked with product placement, including advertising on BBK's handheld consoles and block games.

It's okay if it's not finished yet; we can shoot close-up shots separately later.

Lizhi said, "I plan to go to Madman Comics. They've organized a Hong Kong Youth Star selection event and plan to announce the results in the inaugural issue of YES!" There are many photos of handsome boys and beautiful girls in secondary school there."

Wei Ming: "Let's go together then, you drive."

In fact, Ah Min's age was just right, but the role of the eldest sister wasn't very significant. The Hong Kong diva's film debut should be more grand, so Wei Ming specially revised the script to give her a prestigious identity.

On the way, Wei Ming asked Li Zhi, "Around when will the filming start?"

Lizhi said, "As long as we find Ah Bin's older brother and sister, we can start filming next Monday. The other crew members are already in place, and the renovation of the villa is nearing completion."

Wei Ming: "Then let's shoot next Monday. There aren't many scenes, so we can finish shooting in a month."

When I arrived at Minglong Media, the office area was much larger, and there were more and more people.

When they arrived, Ah Long was still focused on his painting, and Wei Ming and Li Zhi waited for a while.

However, while they were waiting, the company's general manager, Mr. Cai, came out to entertain them and brought out ten sets of photos of men and women that they had their eye on from the Youth Star competition for Wei Ming to judge.

Their photos will soon appear in the next issue of "Madman Comics," and readers will vote on the results, which will then appear in the new issue "YES!" as a way to promote the new publication.

Wei Ming spotted Li Jiaxin immediately. She stood out among the many photos. Even though she still looked young, she already had the makings of a great beauty.

Ms. Cai said with a smile, "We all believe she will win the championship."

Wei Ming looked at the other photos and was surprised to find two familiar faces.

One of them was named Qiu Shuzhen, and she was 15 years old.

One of them is named Zheng Yijian, and he is 16 years old.

At this moment, Ah Long came out of the office and saw Wei Ming holding Zheng Yijian's photo. He smiled and said, "This is a loyal reader of our Madman Comics. He has written many reader letters to discuss the plot. He likes 'Storm Riders' and 'Dragon Ball' the most. I remember his name."

Wei Ming laughed and said, "The young man is indeed very handsome, so let's decide him as the champion. Also, we can add a line for the next episode: the male and female champions can star in Wei Ming's new film, 'Home Alone'."

Lizhi thought to herself, "Is there any suspense left? Li Jiaxin will definitely win the girls' group."

"Teacher Wei, isn't Li Jiaxin's age a bit inappropriate?"

Wei Ming laughed and said, "It might not necessarily be her, and it could even be set up as twins, or fraternal twins."
