My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 763 Even a seemingly shameless person can be gentle and refined.
So until the Apple product launch the next day, Lin Wangfu's attention had completely shifted to the headphone industry.

I collected all kinds and sizes of headphones that I could buy in stores and shopping malls in San Francisco and Silicon Valley.

Wei Dong positioned it as a gaming headset, a high-fidelity gaming headset that can pinpoint sound locations in games, while also being compatible with various high-fidelity music.

The biggest competitor in this area is definitely Japan, but it relies on its low prices and high quality, as well as the brand reputation of its sound cards and computer speakers.

Following the era of computer explosions and even mobile phone explosions, there is still a large market space to be captured.

The key point, of course, is to use these modern products to enter the international market and drive the development of the manufacturing industry in the mainland.

Even Wei Dong himself wasn't entirely clear on the development process of gaming headsets, mobile phone headsets, earphones, and even later wireless headsets.

But once a general direction is outlined, it will be left to Lin Wangfu to work on.

He came to explain to Leung Ka-fai, who had just arrived, the filming in Los Angeles and the work related to basketball.

After all, Liang Jiahui, who hasn't even started filming yet, is currently also the vice president of a basketball culture company.

Even though this guy and his girlfriend had already boarded the plane to North America yesterday morning, it didn't stop him from seeing all sorts of newspapers and TV news describing the gossip about yesterday's NBA Finals as soon as he landed at the terminal.

He went on to flatter her relentlessly: "It will definitely get to Hong Kong, which will further highlight our company's rise in the basketball industry. Look how gracefully the boss's wife fell..."

Qin Yuye stamped his foot in grief and anger and shouted at him to shut up!

Jiang Jialing tried her best to hold back her laughter.

Wei Dong suppressed a laugh, but assigned tasks, and everyone split up in North America before the end of the month.

Filming, finding billiards masters, finding basketball experts, finding the Harlem Globetrotters—in short, all these jobs have nothing to do with computers; they're all related to various developments in Hong Kong.

Leung Ka-fai still requested to watch the Apple press conference together, and then the two of them rushed to Los Angeles to report to their boss about the script, filming locations, and preparations for "Chess Maniac".

However, when everyone arrived at the venue that Apple had rented for the launch event, it turned out to be a university gymnasium.

After meeting Wei Dong, Steve was jokingly suggesting that he go to the NBA to make a name for himself, and whether he should also leak the news to the media that Wei Dong was the founder of Kungfu Software, a partner of Apple computers...

Demimore arrived, weary from his journey.

It's obvious that she also saw Rang Weidong in this NBA gossip news and knew that he must be here to attend the Apple launch event.

Steve, who was about to go on stage, made a face at Wei Dong and left. Liang Jia Hui also pretended to talk to his girlfriend and prepared to leave.

Looking at his handsome face and Demimore's beautiful features, Wei Dong suddenly had a whimsical idea: "Why don't you act in a play with her?"

In any case, Wei Dong had no doubt about Liang Jiahui's acting skills in these emotional scenes.

It doesn't matter who plays the role; what if it becomes a hit?

Even Qin Yuye could tell: "It seems like she hasn't become famous yet? You're telling her that script definitely hasn't been filmed yet."

That's right, Wei Dong certainly couldn't influence NBA stars or snooker masters, but he definitely did influence Demimore.

Two years ago, she was just a minor celebrity who relied on her looks to stay afloat. However, thanks to a series of Apple computer advertisements, she was propelled to become a household name.

So she took on several roles, which definitely changed her original life trajectory.

Last year, he went to Shanghai with Steve to shoot an advertisement, which made him even more famous.

In fact, if Wei Dong hadn't interrupted, Demimore would have met her Oscar-winning husband, which would have given her the connections to invest in big-budget productions.

Now things are stuck in a limbo, with nothing settled:
"I took on several more projects, including an A-list production worth tens of millions of dollars, but they still failed to become hits, and were not enough to support me in finding investors to make this film, 'Ghost'."

After filming the commercial in Shanghai last year, Wei Dong wanted to repay the other party for traveling a long distance to support his work, so he took the initiative to describe the synopsis of the story of "Ghost" to Demimore.

Let her figure it out herself.

But it's not that easy: "I've already had someone refine the script, but after contacting several investors, they all assessed it as a high-risk fantasy romance film. The market returns for this type of film are highly uncertain, especially since depicting ghosts and supernatural details requires significant post-production investment in filming techniques. They all indicated that the budget might be around 20 million US dollars, so it's been shelved..."

Demimore even glanced at the Apple logo hanging at the event venue from afar, and expressed the change that Wei Dong had mentioned to his wife with a helpless smile.

The same applies to the "newbie vase" (a term used to describe a person who is good at navigating social situations).

Two years ago, when she came to shoot a computer commercial, she was just a model. Everyone was just starting out. Although it was a listed company, Steve was struggling to survive and hadn't yet widened the gap.

Last year was already the beginning of Apple's explosive growth period, and Demimore clearly had a sycophantic mentality when he took the initiative to ask to shoot an advertisement, and even followed him to Shanghai.

If Steve were a lecherous scoundrel and took advantage of Demimore, Demimore probably wouldn't mind, and might even be able to secure investment.

The problem is that the super-straight man had no such idea at all; he only thought it was somewhat interesting to do this computer-generated special effects out of consideration for Wei Dong.

However, after returning to China last June and selling computers like hotcakes, he devoted all his energy and money to acquiring chip companies.

At that time, even the assets of Kungfu Software had been mortgaged, so there was no time to focus on making movies. By then, Steve was no longer a big boss that a minor star like Demimore could easily talk to.

Any matter requiring contact with him must go through the procedures of various departments within the massive corporation.

That's why Wei Dong became increasingly formal and official.

Now, he took the thick script folder and handed it to Liang Jiahui to look through: "So your idea is to get us to invest, film, and distribute it?"

At least he's currently discussing making movies with Chow Yun-fat and Stephen Chow.

I still understand the basic industry processes.

Twenty million US dollars...

Even the most powerful actor in Hong Kong right now, Jackie Chan, only makes movies with a budget of less than six million US dollars, even the biggest productions.

The production cost of mainstream Hollywood commercial films is usually between ten million and fifty million US dollars.

This is considered a standard above-average production.

It's quite tiring to go to sleep with them one by one.

Demi Moore quickly emphasized, "No problem. Hollywood is very mature in all aspects of this. I can now participate in A-list films, so there are no issues with filming and distribution. The main problem is finding investors. You can fully monitor and audit the investment, which is also very well-established. I can forgo upfront payment and receive a share of the box office profits. I really love this story..."

She was at the peak of her beauty right now, wearing a black turtleneck T-shirt, but everything above her chest was semi-transparent black, paired with jeans, and the short hair that Wei Dong had suggested to her.

Neat and refreshing, with a touch of Eastern charm within its European aesthetic, it's absolutely beautiful.

Even Qin Yuye, the translator, was captivated by the beauty before him and whispered, "We could still give it a try... Didn't Steve say last time that they could find a way to develop these computer effects? If we cooperate, we might not need so much money. It can also be considered an investment in North America, and we can get tax deductions."

The $40 million in taxes from the sale of the sound card is no small sum.

Instead of handing it over to the Citibank tax authorities, it's better to invest in something else, which means splitting the profits at each stage and then making payments to other companies to pocket the money in small amounts.

Movies are the best way to launder money; this is a fact that is probably known to everyone, from tax authorities to netizens and movie fans.

Seeing that the lights inside the stadium were already being adjusted, I gestured to the person next to me: "Let's watch the press conference first, and you can also see if casting him as the male lead is suitable..."

Upon hearing the Chinese introduction, Leung Ka-fai quickly looked up and gently shook hands, while Chiang Chia-ling made a noticeable defensive gesture, clinging to her boyfriend's arm.

The beautiful woman's eyes suddenly lit up, not out of lust, but as if she were scanning Leung Ka-fai with an electric current.

If Wei Dong hadn't known that Leung Ka-fai later starred in a film called "The Lover" with a foreign woman, he definitely wouldn't have made this inexplicable recommendation.

After saying that, he observed the two of them with great interest. When Wei Dong saw Jiang Jialing's actions, he quickly emphasized, "Ms. Jiang can be the project supervisor. If it really involves such a large investment, we need our own people to manage the accounts."

Actually, I wonder if Jiang Jialing was mentally prepared for dating an actor, given her past experiences with Liang Jiahui's promiscuous and shameless image.

It's mainly because Demimore is so beautiful.

This was a kind of aggressive, dazzling beauty that far surpassed even Qin Yuye's alluring charm. She instinctively took her husband's arm and quickly leaned forward to translate into Cantonese.

Jiang Jialing stuck out her tongue and let go of his hand, feeling embarrassed.

Liang Jiahui looked up at Demimore in disbelief, his face showing astonishment. He even staggered back half a step as if exhausted, slowly raising his hand to touch the beauty's face...

Seriously, he can immediately switch into acting mode in front of his girlfriend and even dare to touch other women.

Even Wei Dong, who witnessed it firsthand, felt he definitely couldn't do it.

But Leung Ka-fai's performance was completely natural, with deep affection and shock in his eyes, coupled with his slightly trembling body that seemed unable to support him.

Qin Yuye was stunned and gripped Rang Weidong's arm tightly.

That's what you call acting!

Demimore also burst into tears instantly, her cherry lips trembling as she tried to use her face to meet the hand.

Jiang Jialing was stunned as she watched the glistening tears slide down her cheeks!

You two must both be thinking, "Wow, when did you guys build up this deep friendship?"
Fortunately, the lights in the entire stadium dimmed at this point, marking the end of the male and female leads' dramatic performance.

With tears in his eyes, Demimore took the initiative to shake hands with Liang Jiahui: "I really look forward to working with you."

Liang Jiahui quickly composed himself, his playful smile vanishing: "It all depends on whether my boss's investment returns are successful..."

The two of them were on the highway, getting into and out of character with incredible smoothness.

Wei Dong guessed that there was a chance.
