My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 927 Fate is given by God, but choices are made by oneself.
Everyone present, of course, also gained the qualification to move into the Sha Tin waterfront villas.

Wei Dong even requested that about forty additional units be added temporarily.

Many of the people present were not yet famous or had made significant contributions to Colorful Pictures.

I'm already receiving such great benefits right after joining.

Both men and women experienced a shift in mindset, feeling a sense of utter desperation.

It's worth noting that in the past few decades, only the billionaire owner of Zhao's Film Company lived in a seaside villa.

The film company controlled by the Lung family also carries a strong shadow of triad influence.

Those people will inevitably be exploited by money-making machines, and won't receive any good benefits.

Until here, everything suddenly became clear.

They've given so many people the opportunity to buy property at low prices right after they arrived.

We are more than just grateful.

Especially the "Celebrity Village" scene projected on the slide projector made almost everyone present wish they could work for the company for life.

It was Xiao He, who was transferred from Citibank to Hong Kong ahead of time to participate in the design of the basketball arena, who led the design of this series of villas.

Unlike the ubiquitous pigeon coop apartments in Hong Kong, almost every room has a unique design.

Xiao He, who originally faced the prospect of either being stranded in North America or facing severe punishment upon his return after making a mistake, has now completely accepted that his destiny is in his own hands and is working on designs like a madman.

The basketball stadium in Hong Kong participated in the entire design process, and then the complete plan was modified and brought back to Lujiazui in Shanghai. In all spare time, they burned their inspiration and creativity to design a series of unique villas.

Most of their peers scoff at these small townhouses and detached houses of a hundred or two square meters, thinking they can just copy and paste them.

He had no other thoughts but to focus solely on designing the building that the boss wanted.

For example, the basic outline of the building is now visible. It is a two-and-a-half-story building with a large sloping roof that is fully covered. The front edge is slightly upturned like a folded piece of paper, so that rainwater can be cleverly collected in one corner and flow down to the artificial hill in the small front garden.

Just asking if it looks good.

Or perhaps it's about the same size, but with a central courtyard, placing the garden in the center to create a view that the whole family can see, making the entire building bright inside;
Or they are just colorful cement blocks stacked up like building blocks;

A small building with a ditch running from the diagonal of its double sloping facade to the center;
The plot of land is long and narrow, yet it has a narrow Chinese-style fish pond on the side;

Such diverse and creative works are absolutely irresistible to film and television professionals.

Such a small house, yet it has such a unique and tasteful design; I absolutely love it.

Even Stephen Chow couldn't resist standing up to show off the design of his apartment, which earned him a round of applause.

Those who originally belonged to Yong'an Film Studio naturally surrendered in droves.

Even though he was at the height of his career, Andy Lau, who hadn't released any blockbuster movies or made much money, was still seen as a handsome young man, clapping and cheering among his colleagues.

But it's said to be "almost" everyone.

Long Zhenwei, who was sitting next to Rang Weidong, and Zhang Min, who was sitting diagonally opposite him at the conference table, seemed unaffected.

Long Zhenwei possessed the competence of a Hong Kong white-collar elite, yet also carried a somewhat aloof expression. It was the executive director who noticed him stealing a glance and then passed it on to the boss's wife.

Qin Yuye then gestured to Zhang Min on her side.

In terms of looks, Yao Shuzhen, Zou Huimin, and Zhang Min all far surpass her.

Let his wife win him over entirely with her temperament.

But at this moment, Zhang Min exuded an aloof and extraordinary temperament. Sitting motionless in the lively conference room, he made all the other beauties look like ordinary girls.

The lively and noisy closing ceremony was so great that even Wei Dong stood up to shake hands with several directors and Andy Lau nearby, welcoming them to come and discuss their scripts and films, because all new film companies had to have their scripts reviewed by the boss before starting filming.

"There are no restrictions. If we want to enter the mainland market, we definitely need to avoid certain borderline plots, and we absolutely must not get involved in content related to politics or organized crime. Even if we are depicting social realities, we can take a heartwarming or inspirational route. We can try all kinds of themes. The company is still very optimistic about the film market in the next few years..."

These two haven't made much of a move yet.

The wife greeted him with a smile, inviting anyone interested to talk to her first, and also suggesting that they could communicate with the executive director.

Leave the meeting room to the three of them. Wei Dong also took the opportunity to ask Long Zhenwei, "Your father said she's the variable, why?"

Little did Long Zhenwei know that he wasn't familiar with Long's mixed Cantonese and Mandarin accent, so Zhang Min had to translate the evaluation himself.

“My eighth uncle liked her, and being a man of strong emotions, he was determined to please her. He thought that Stephen Chow would definitely shine if he acted with her, so he was so blinded by greed that he tried every means to get Stephen Chow’s contract. My father and I were unaware of this.”

Zhang Min simply translated and repeated these words verbatim, without commenting or arguing.

Wei Dong found this quite interesting and started by discussing business: "Young Master Long, have you reviewed our international business list? Do you have any suggestions?"

Long Zhenwei then addressed the matter directly: "I didn't expect that my husband and I would have such a deep understanding of the advanced computer industry, which is in a leading position in Asia. Based on my limited understanding, I feel that the idle funds seem to be relatively high. Even if they were used to invest in real estate, they could still generate high returns because the amount of funds is so large."

Wei Dong certainly wouldn't explain that these funds might be used to subsidize foreign exchange to the mainland or diverted for other purposes at any time.

But it would be a loss to turn down a business opportunity, so I'll just use this as a test: "Do you have any good suggestions?"

Long Zhenwei thought for a moment: "There's a rich guy who wants to invest in movies and have sex with female stars. We can bring him in as a shareholder. We'll invest the money, find him a few prostitutes to play with, and at worst, we can bring these women into the movies to enhance their image. Once the money comes in, we can do whatever we want with it."

Zhang Min continued translating with a blank expression, offering no comment on the humiliating attitude.

But Wei Dong asked first what the wealthy businessman did for a living.

Lung Chun-wai was very familiar with him: "He started as a garment manufacturer, then went into real estate, specializing in industrial buildings. He had previously hinted that he wanted to acquire Asia Television, but Uncle Tak sold it to you first."

Wei Dong wouldn't ask Cheng Lang about everything. Wouldn't it be better if the old man could live a few more years? But this guy had never heard of it. After thinking about it seriously, he wondered if industrial buildings still had any meaning in Hong Kong. It seemed that all the factories would eventually move to the coastal areas of eastern Guangdong.

That's why I said: "If you're confident you can use business tactics to cause his finances and businesses to collapse, and then we can use our financial advantage to take over and share the spoils, I can invest and participate. But if you use illegal methods from the underworld, or use gang power to force the sale of debts, I won't do it. I have great businesses to run, why bother with these legal shady dealings? This is the condition I'm proposing to your father: you can come with us to conquer the world, instead of just getting stuck in this gang and resorting to these underhanded methods."

Long Zhenwei, wearing crystal glasses, looked young but not naive. He met Rang Weidong's gaze and asked, "You say you can definitely protect my father?"

Wei Dong nodded: "As long as he doesn't break the law, if he makes some investments and builds some houses in his hometown, everyone will definitely treat him as an honored guest. No one will know his identity, and he can live a comfortable retirement. The question is, has the situation been settled internally in Xin'an yet?"

After some hesitation, Long Zhenwei admitted, "My uncles have agreed to go back to their hometown with my father to visit relatives before making a decision, but it's not certain for outsiders. The head instructor wants to take over the leadership position. Most of the Double Flower Red Sticks in the Five Dragons and Ten Tigers are his disciples, and there have already been two or three conflicts."

He looked at Wei Dong and asked, "What about you? Do you want to sit on this volcano?"

Long Zhenwei was a little puzzled: "My older brother has always been trained by our father to be the leader since we were little. I don't know why I'm suddenly the one to hold things up. I've been practicing boxing since I was little as a hobby, but I don't like fighting and killing in the streets. Can't I use my brain?"

Wei Dong had no idea why. Anyway, Cheng Lang said that the eldest son was completely incompetent, and it wasn't good to ask too many questions, in case the old man suddenly passed away.

Now we can only guess: "Since your father and brothers have retired from the martial arts world, I suggest you stay away too. There are plenty of businesses to do these days. As for the affairs of the martial arts world, those people in the martial arts world will naturally take care of them."

Long Zhenwei hesitated for a moment, then said, "I think I'll follow you and see what happens first. The situation is too complicated right now."

Wei Dong nodded: "No problem, then I'll talk to Miss Zhang again."

The third-generation gangster didn't even glance at the unpredictable woman. He turned around and went out, only to find two lithe figures waiting for him outside.

Zhang Min has been staying in the boss's lounge of the TV station building for the past two days; of course, he's the female boss.

Wei Dong openly lived and ate with the directors and hosts in the studio, discussing work at any time.

Qin Yuye arranged for people to go back and gather all her beautiful clothes to hang up, so her new girlfriends could choose whatever they wanted. Or a large group of them would go down the mountain to Tsim Sha Tsui to buy new clothes and cosmetics. They certainly wouldn't skimp on themselves. The sight of seven or eight beautiful women coming and going together was quite eye-catching.

Looking at the dozens of people surrounding the flower, no one dared to harm it.

Wei Dong then casually raised the blinds of the glass partition in the conference room: "It really might be because of you that Uncle Ba wants to kill me?"

The bustling office area outside could see all the activity in the meeting room.

The eyes that had been peering out from the sidelines quickly shifted away.

Looking at the bustling scene outside, Zhang Min's voice was low and somewhat dejected: "I kind of regret leaving ATV. Two years ago, I was still a student in the acting training class here. I was handing out flyers when Eighth Master spotted me and invited me to Wing On Film Company. I was only eighteen years old then, so of course I thought it was an opportunity..."

Wei Dong didn't bother with any fancy moves. He simply pulled up a chair, crossed his legs, and sat down, gazing at the goddess who had captivated mainland China throughout the 1990s.

I felt completely unmoved. What kind of movie should I find to film this?

Since you're going to enter the entertainment industry, let's see if you're destined to become famous.
