My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 959 Who is the most satisfied?
Actually, when it comes to movies from that era, Wei Dong only remembers one that was well-made in mainland China.

Back then, it was the actor who played Ching Wan, who wasn't even a top star in Hong Kong. He played a small Hong Kong businessman who went to Shanghai to invest and do business. He discovered that the Shanghai stock market, which was still in its early stages, was easy to make money from, so he found a local woman to manage the stocks.

The performance of the top actress from mainland China vividly portrays the process of a middle-aged housewife who suddenly rises to wealth and becomes frenzied amidst the tides of the times, ultimately experiencing a profound awakening.

Sitting in a roadside teahouse in a brand-new building in the city, with bamboo and wooden chairs and a tattered awning, Wei Dong described the outline of the play to the group.

Of course, he described it here as a light comedy story where Leung Ka-fai's business in Hong Kong went bankrupt, and he returned to his hometown to look for relatives. As a result, he accidentally helped a ferry ticket seller he met there to do business and speculate on real estate, and in the end, he almost jumped off a building.

Most of them are Hong Kong people like Chi Sai-ming who come to the mainland with a kind of low-dimensional business operation, which can also be regarded as popularizing knowledge to the national audience in this era.

Revealing the myriad forms of speculation amidst the changing times through a fleeting illusion.

It serves as a strong warning.

The staff at the Beidu Agency were very excited; this was their favorite subject.

Wei Dong even encouraged them to approach Sister Qing: "She's incredibly popular right now. If we can get her to star in this movie, it will definitely be a huge hit. The pay is simple; we'll just pay her in Hong Kong and set up a company for her."

As an online friend, he must know some gossip about this person.

Especially Sister Qing, she was the dream girl of those born in the 1960s in mainland China. All those so-called "Queen of Romance" and "Jade Girl Leader" had to take a backseat.

Tony Leung Ka-fai's first film was co-starring with Sister Ching, which shows how high his starting point was.

Even Chow Yun-fat and the others can't compare.

Then, when we talked about this at dinner, Brother Jie said it was simple, because he was familiar with Sister Qing.

They are now practically the top male and female actors in the domestic film industry, and they have many opportunities to meet at various parties and industry events.

Make a call and ask.

As a result, Sister Qing agreed on the phone and said she would come from Beijing immediately!

Because she is from eastern Sichuan, born and raised in a prefecture-level city near Lao Geng's base.

She's a typical Sichuan girl, and this role seems tailor-made for her.

Therefore, Wei Dong and his group had to stay in Shangzhou for a few more days.

The happiest person was Li Erfeng, who was provided with good meat and vegetables every day, including cured pork, deer meat, and river fish, as well as various rare dishes, with a variety of preparations.

Everyone could see that he was benefiting from Wei Dong's influence, and Dong Xueqing even led the way by kicking him out for going out with Sister Erfeng.

It seemed as if Wei Dong had to sell himself in exchange for food, and everyone was trying their best to hold back their laughter, while Brother Jie even egged them on.

Wei Dong was puzzled. He thought, "You'll know what happens when you experience a similar situation in the future."

He simply led his team and plunged into the work.

I first contacted and communicated with Fan Wenchen to confirm that we could coordinate our work.

The old leader initially assigned Wei Dong to lead the Beijiaochang Development Zone, a setup that was later repeatedly used throughout the country's reform and opening-up process—a truly interesting situation.

It may seem like only a few people started in the development zone, but in reality, various units and departments were able to naturally drive the work later on.

For example, the bioengineering experts from Jiangnan University helped to find experts from Southwest Agricultural College in Jiangzhou to fully launch trials on "second-season corn" and even "third-season corn".

Industrialized crops, which don't care about taste or anything like that, and even agronomists who understand the local needs, suggest that corn and straw should be purchased and processed separately.

The former is used as a raw material for corn bioengineering, while the latter is crushed and used as silage for livestock and poultry.

This allows for the local raising of cattle and sheep, in addition to pigs.

Due to the mountainous terrain, arable land is already scarce, and the eastern Sichuan region has always been reluctant to raise large numbers of cattle and sheep.

Even a small number of oxen used for plowing are considered as precious as means of production.

In fact, if you use scientific methods, the straw that was previously discarded and burned, which could at most be used to fertilize the fields, can be crushed and fermented to make excellent cattle and sheep feed.

If you combine it with feed products produced through corn bioengineering, you're bringing technology to the livestock industry!

Anyone who likes playing basketball knows what it means to jokingly refer to athletes using technology.

It's definitely protein-based muscle gain, just like chickens in a farm grow quickly and are sold for money.

It was only at this point that Wei Dong realized that the most important thing to do in this situation was to build a vocational school.

Shouldn't a large number of agricultural scientists, corn bioengineering technicians, basic civil engineering technicians in construction companies, and even sailors and salespeople first study at these specialized schools?

In any case, he genuinely requires employees of major companies to undergo training before starting work, not for academic qualifications or to make money from running a school.

Let's get started right away.

Fan Wenchen is now in charge of education in Shangzhou. He directly transferred an industrial school to the new district, and the teaching and faculty resources are all "sponsored and donated by enterprises in the Beijiaochang Development Zone".

Then, take the opportunity to improve primary and secondary schools and kindergartens, and build a hospital.

The outline of this new city, which is expected to accommodate 200,000 people in the future, is beginning to take shape.

After all, Fan Wenchen and Rang Weidong had a tacit "consensus" when they were in Kuizhou County that the Three Gorges Dam project was an inevitable and irreversible strategic project.

Therefore, we should start preparing now, consciously or unconsciously.

This made Wei Dong even clearer that of the reservoir area relocation project, which was supposed to involve a million migrants, only about 400,000 actually went to other places; the majority of them moved to higher ground as much as possible.

Only when the local area cannot accommodate the production and lives of so many people will they have to relocate. Now he is desperately building factories and urban areas to create space to accommodate them.

Moreover, to ensure the continuity of this approach, since the previous ones have all been promoted to the city level, Wei Dong should try to select and appoint additional personnel from among the company and platoon leaders of the Third Construction Battalion.

The construction of Pengzhen relied on infrastructure engineers, and the final cadre structure was supported by demobilized soldiers from the infrastructure team.

The scaled-down version of Shangzhou New District can also follow this model.

Use these ideologically sound and combat-effective demobilized soldiers to build the framework.

It also allows these key personnel who have been moving around for many years to settle down and start a new life.

Perhaps only Fan Wenchen, the former county leader of Kuizhou County, could vaguely discern Rang Weidong's thinking.

Naturally, we will do everything we can to support them.

To outsiders, including the former leader, it was clear that the two worked together exceptionally well!

very satisfied.

I was even more satisfied when Sister Qing came.

She came with Yu Xiaoqiu and Wang Zhiwen.

Even without these two reminders, Sister Qing, who has a wide circle of acquaintances, already knew of Wei Dong's great reputation in certain circles.

They were very satisfied with the financial plan proposed by Wei Dong.

She dared to openly protest unfair treatment on set a few years ago. Now, Sister Qing is still affiliated with the film studio, but they can't control her personal business activities.

So Wei Dong suggested setting up a film company for her in Hong Kong, with the Hong Kong company handling all filming and payments between the two companies.

The key is to pay taxes according to regulations.

An old security guard at the tax compound gave a somewhat sarcastic reminder to the current top female official in mainland China.

But clearly she is currently at the peak of her career, and it is said that at her peak she could perform at more than a dozen venues a day. Sister Qing didn't take it seriously and immediately started working with Leung Ka-fai to refine the script.

She brought the screenwriter with her.

The director will definitely be from Hong Kong, and the entire crew should be from Hong Kong. At most, the North Capital Group will skillfully find a mainland production studio to co-produce the film.

They have a few of these slots every year.

Sister Qing also expressed her approval.

To be honest, given her knowledge and understanding, it's already quite remarkable that she could still immerse herself fully in the film under such circumstances.

Those who became famous alongside her still don't know how to monetize their fame.

Those who can convert their money into cash have mostly become lost in money.

The main reason why Sister Qing is so frantically using her fame to "legally" amass wealth is that she was used to being poor, or perhaps she has seen the outside world and compared herself to others, feeling that she is so outstanding that she has succeeded among a billion people, so why should she still be a pauper?

Wei Dong communicated with Brother Jie like this on his way back to Jiangzhou.

As expected, Sister Qing is a daredevil; upon arrival, she immediately holds a concert in Shangzhou...

He also made appearances in surrounding factories, mines, districts, and counties. The fees weren't expensive; people from his hometown would give him a discount and charge him 1,000 yuan for each appearance.

Then, accompanied by Li Erfeng, he went back to the county and township to investigate the selection of scenes for some rural shots.

Because the prototype of this local female protagonist must follow the example of Li Erfeng.

Leung Ka-fai went along too.

They're waiting here for the HK film crew, from the director to the equipment, to arrive immediately.

This made Li Erfeng incredibly arrogant, and she accompanied Sister Qing back to the countryside with her head held high.

That gave Wei Dong and his men a chance to leave quietly.

Everyone seemed to be covering for the boss's joke.

Wei Dong suggested keeping Yu Xiaoqiu here. She had participated in the filming of a TV series here a few years ago, and now she was in charge of the entire process of film production, both on and off screen. Only then could she take on the responsibilities of film and television work in mainland China in the future.

But Wang Zhiwen followed suit: "You accompany Brother Jie to Hong Kong to learn about and experience the entire process of Hong Kong film production. Hui Zai said that you are still a bit immature following the film produced by the Youth Film Studio. Go and learn how a mature film operation model works."

The Youth Film Studio is essentially a school-run factory of the film academy, primarily used for practical training for teachers and students.

As graduation approached, Wang Zhiwen calmly agreed, saying that the main thing was for the boss, Brother Jie, and the people from the film company to finalize the script for the first Wong Fei-hung movie.

With so many Wong Fei-hung movies, Wei-tung couldn't remember which came first or which came last, but he had the deepest impression of Aunt Thirteen.

After sketching it out, Brother Jie was still somewhat unconvinced: "It's not much different from my previous movies."

Therefore, Wei Dong had to emphasize: "Then it depends on who directs it."

He further illustrated his point with an example: "When Stephen Chow was filming 'Legend of the Dragon,' he wasn't very confident and didn't have much say in the crew, so some details were a bit bumpy when filming. But by 'All for the Winner,' he had already established his style, and the filming was much smoother. Jay Chou, all you need is a good director to take control of the whole film. He'll definitely become a huge star!"

The implication is that since you're a former athlete, you should focus on doing your job well.

Don't be like Sister Qing and think you're omnipotent.
