There are also people participating in the ATV Spring Festival Gala, who will have to wait two days to arrive. By then, there will be nearly a hundred guests on the entire island.

Today, the facilities on Langai Island are more complete, with 36 villas open to the public and a large pier with dozens of motorboats and small yachts moored.

Not far from the pier, there is an extra-large inflatable castle floating on the sea, which can accommodate adults for fun.

The largest residence on the island is the owner's villa, where Zhang Wen lives every time he comes. It covers an area of ​​3000 square meters. When not in use, the hall on the first floor can be rented out as a banquet hall.

There are nearly a hundred service staff on the island, providing various services 24 hours a day.

Zhang Wen came here just to relax. Even though he handed over most of the things to his subordinates, the business was so big that anything that could be dealt with by him was no small matter and could not be solved with just a few words.

For example, Wang Jin who came secretly now, Zhang Wen was lying on the huge balcony on the second floor basking in the sun, and next to him were several women from his family, all wearing sunscreen and enjoying the sunshine SPA.

"You said that all TVB artists have thought about blocking it?" Wang Jingang's words shocked Zhang Wen.

"Yes, any small artist here gets paid twice as much as they do, and they are well-known artists, but Uncle Six and Aunt Six just watch and do nothing about it. They are too stingy.

After the Chinese New Year, another wave of artists’ contracts are about to expire, and now they are actively looking for me to negotiate terms. "Wang Jin explained.

"Who are they?" Zhang Wen asked curiously.

"Lü Liangwei, Miao Qiaowei, Tang Zhengye and Liao Qizhi are the most outstanding ones. The others are either supporting roles or behind-the-scenes staff." Wang Jin mentioned the names of four people.

"If your requirements are not high, I'll take them all. It just so happens that ATV is short of people for TV dramas." Zhang Wen accepted all the offers.

"This...is about Sixth Uncle." Wang Jin felt a little reluctant.

"It's not our fault. They are just trying to drive us away. I heard that some veteran actors only make 3000 a month. What's the difference between them and ordinary office workers? It's even harder than working in the office," said Zhang Wen.

"Well, it's indeed a bit too much. I can't support my family." Wang Jin nodded in agreement.

"If you can't even compare to a idiot, then what's the point of playing?" Zhang Wen said disdainfully.

"That's only yours and Liansheng. Other societies are not so wealthy." Wang Jin said with a roll of his eyes.

"Who can you blame for not knowing how to run a business? Look at you, take it easy. I heard that you found two white girls right away?" Zhang Wen advised with a smile.

"Who is such a big mouth~~~" Wang Jin glanced at the sisters-in-law beside him speechlessly, afraid that they would hear it. .

"Hahaha." Zhang Wen laughed.

"Stop laughing, Brother Wen, I want to discuss something with you." Wang Jin said awkwardly.

"If you have something to say, just say it. If you have to fart, just fart." Zhang Wen saw that he looked a little disgusted and said directly.

"Secretary Ye, please lend it to me." Wang Jin said boldly.

"Huh?" Zhang Wen's face turned cold instantly.

"Oh, don't be angry, don't be angry. This year we plan to let Ah Xing shoot two films. One is a comic book about the world, and the other is a love saint. Ahem~~~ you get the idea." Wang Jin was so scared that his legs went weak, but he still said it.

"Let's talk about it later. I'm going to Japan after the New Year. We'll talk about it if I can't find it." Zhang Wen didn't want Ye Zimei to show her weapon again from the bottom of his heart, but the love saint was missing a selling point, so let's wait for now.

If it really doesn’t work, you can use last year’s Miss Asia, she seems to be quite big too.

The 85 ATV Spring Festival Gala was a huge success, with Hong Kong's ratings reaching an unprecedented 75%, while TVB was in mourning.

But they could only accept their fate. They could not handle Cheng Long alone, as he was the top star in Asia and had some influence internationally. Add in Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, and they formed a trio that was so strong that no one in TVB could beat them.

What's more, there are two people with superstar potential, Leslie Cheung and Andy Lau.

Finally, there is the queen of plum mushrooms.

5.5 The albums of these three are all hot-selling, and they have no shortage of film and television resources. Now, only Xu Guanjie and Principal Tan can compete with them, and the others simply cannot.

There were also Zou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei, who both had outstanding comedic talents, and a golden supporting actor like Wu Mengda. The entire studio was filled with cheers, and the Hong Kong families in front of the TV were laughing so hard that they were rolling on the floor.

This ATV Spring Festival Gala covered the entire Pearl River Delta region and was collectively referred to by later generations as the most successful and authentic one. Although the subsequent Spring Festival Galas were also very good, they were ultimately too procedural and the audience's viewing experience was somewhat bad.

The morning after the Spring Festival Gala ended, two Gulfstream planes brought the remaining people to the island.

Among them are Huo Jianning, Luo Xizhao, Zhang Mengjing, Zhang Gong, and chief designer Zhang Tianai, who have made great contributions this year.

Chapter 177: Five Hundred Million Inspector Lei Luo

"Wow~~, boss, so many underwear?" Because she came in a hurry, Zhang Tianai did not bring a swimsuit.

Zhang Wen opened his own dressing room for her to choose from. Unexpectedly, there were not only swimsuits, but also various underwear.

There is also some hot sexy lingerie among them.

"Haha, if you have inspiration, you can create another underwear brand." Looking at Zhang Tianai walking around, constantly flipping through the workmanship and fabrics of the underwear, it seemed like he had discovered a new world.

"Indeed, we can. The Victoria's Secret brand in the United States is very popular right now. The styles we have here are enough to hold press conferences for at least a few years." Zhang Tianai nodded immediately.

"Okay, you take care of the preparations. See if you want to acquire a brand or create a new one. You are an expert, you decide." Zhang Wen agreed. Victoria's Secret has always been a well-known name in later generations, especially the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which is a top-notch event.

Since you have people and goods, you can definitely get involved.

"Okay, I'll hold a meeting to discuss it when we get back. But, now, boss, can you please go out?" Zhang Tianai said with a charming smile.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore." Zhang Wen smiled and walked away.

We walked out of the big villa and strolled all the way to the beach. Looking at the several awnings not far from the beach, two handsome guys seemed to be reading a script.

"What are you looking at?" Zhang Wen walked forward, sat down and asked.

"Hello, boss. Here is the script." Zhang Guorong said, shaking the script in his hand.

"Me too." Liu Dehua replied with a smile.

"You are here to relax, so just go and have fun," Zhang Wen advised.

"This is also a relaxation. I am usually very anxious and never think about the role well. This time I have the chance." Zhang Guorong replied.

"My role is quite difficult, so I have to work hard," said Andy Lau seriously.

"Well, I know. After the New Year, come with me to Wan Island to meet the real person. Maybe it will be helpful to you." Zhang Wen said with a smile.

"Really? That's great." Liu Dehua said happily.

"I've already contacted them and will go after the New Year." Zhang Wen nodded affirmatively.

"Haha, then I won't watch it. Brother Rong, you take your time to watch it and bring it back for me later." After saying that, Liu Dehua ran straight to the beach.

"Damn it~~~" Zhang Guorong cursed with a smile.

"I called Maomao here specifically this time. Why don't you go and play with her?" Zhang Wen asked curiously.

"Oh, boss~~~, let the past be the past, don't force it." Zhang Guorong was helpless about Zhang Wen's attempt to matchmake.

"Okay, okay, I don't care. Just relax." Zhang Wen turned around and went back to his room. He saw that Zhang Tianai had already left.

When he reached the second-floor balcony, looking at his women lying in a row, Zhang Wen began to take advantage of them under the pretext of applying oil.

After the Spring Festival, everyone returned to Hong Kong on four Gulfstream flights and returned to their busy work.

"Police Story" is directed and starred by Cheng Long, with Cheng Long playing the role of Chan Ka Kui, Maggie Cheung playing the role of May, Ching Ha playing the role of Shalena, and Simon Yam playing the role of Zhu Tao.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" is directed by Wang Jin, with Leslie Cheung as Ning Caichen, Wang Zuxian as Nie Xiaoqian, and Ng Man-tat as Yan Chixia.

"As Tears Go By" is directed by Wai Ka-wai and Wong Kar-wai, starring Andy Lau as Ah Wah, Maggie Cheung as Ah E, Cheung Suet-yu as Wu Ying and Simon Yam as Tony.

"The Inspector Wears Skirts" is directed by Du Qifeng, starring Andy Lau as Lei Luo, Ng Man-tat as Zhu Youzai, Chin Pui as Yan Tong, Yau Shu-ching as A Xia, and Sharla Cheung as Bai Yue'e.

"A Better Tomorrow" is directed by Wu Yusen, starring Zou Runfa as Xiaozhuang, Li Xiuxian as Li Ying, and Mei Gu as the singer.

"Royal Sister" is directed by Hong Jinbao, starring Michelle Yeoh as Wu Luoqian, Lin Qingxia as Yang Liqing, and Cynthia Rothrock as Inspector Carrie Morris.

Six movies were shot at the same time, and the two film companies were very busy. In the future, there are also the second part of "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers", "Heart of Dragon", "Thunder Trumpet", "Zombie Family", "A Comic Book Travels the World" and "The Love Master" waiting to be filmed.

Leung Chiu-wai is still filming ATV's The Yang Clan and The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.

"Mr. Lu, are you feeling well?"

Taiwan Island, Kaohsiung, Zhang Wen brought Liu Dehua to visit.

The three met in Lu Le's villa.

At this time, Lui Lok was no longer as brave as he used to be. His temples were gray and he was sitting in a wheelchair on the balcony drinking tea.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang. Thanks to you, I am still alive." Lu Le's tone was obviously angry, but he had no choice. He was still under the protection of Chen Qili, and Zhang Wen came here this time through Chen Qili's greeting.

And even if Chen Qili hadn't said hello, with Zhang Wen's current status, he wouldn't be able to offend him.

"Mr. Lu, you are angry." Zhang Wen sat down without waiting for greeting.

"You want to make a biographical movie about me. Do you want to harm me?" Lui Lok picked up the tea at hand, took a sip, and said with a serious expression.

"Mr. Lu, your legendary life should be remembered by the people of Hong Kong. It is worth watching by future generations." Zhang Wen said with a smile.

“Moreover, the environment you were in at the time was like this. It was a change in history and you can’t blame yourself alone.

We will interpret your life in a fair way and add a little artistic embellishment, while also objectively describing an era. "

"So far, the Hong Kong Police Force has not withdrawn the arrest warrant for me, did you know that?" Lui Lok asked back.

"I know. The purpose of coming here today is to ask you if we can take pictures. If you don't want to, then we'll forget it." Zhang Wen asked solemnly.

Lui Lok didn't say anything. He glanced at Zhang Wen, then looked at Liu Dehua behind him, and said after a deep breath, "Forget it, if you want to shoot it, just don't deliberately vilify me. It's just a movie. The Hong Kong police force won't arrest me for it."

Lui Lok retired from his position as Chinese Inspector in 68, and then fled to Canada with most of his property in 73. In 75, he came to Taiwan alone because there was no extradition agreement between Taiwan and Hong Kong.

According to statistics, 44 senior police officers fled to Canada with their families.

Moreover, Lui Lok probably has a lot of backup plans. Even though the Hong Kong police force now knows that he is in Taiwan Island, they have no intention of coming to arrest him. Maybe there are seeds he planted among the senior management of the Hong Kong police force now.

In fact, even if the Hong Kong police came to arrest him, they probably wouldn't be able to do anything. Chen Qili's Bamboo League Gang is now the only dominant gang in Taiwan, so it should be no problem for them to protect a dying old man like him.

"I've also brought the script. Would you like to take a look? This is the actor who plays you, Liu Dehua." Zhang Wen introduced and handed over the script.

Lui Lok took the script and said, "What a handsome guy! I like you very much. Act well."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu. I will." Liu Dehua replied with a smile.

"Damn~ Who the hell is Yan Tong? How dare he be compared with me?" Lu Le cursed after flipping through it briefly.

"Artistic techniques, artistic techniques, haha." Zhang Wen explained.

“Alright, alright, I won’t watch it anymore. Just shoot it as usual and don’t show it in Taiwan.” Lui Lok closed the script and said.

"Okay, no problem."

"Ah Jin, you can go find Ye Yuqing. Hers is not small either. I haven't found anyone suitable in Japan."

After meeting with Takeo Funakoshi and discussing this year's UFC format, Zhang Wen picked up the satellite phone and called Wang Jin while boarding the Gulfstream plane to the United States.

"Okay, I'll give the role a try, and if it's okay I'll give it to her." Wang Jin said with a little disappointment.

"Well, when I come back from the United States, we'll have a meeting to discuss future plans," Zhang Wen instructed.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

The renovation of the AMC cinema chain has been completed, and during the renovation period, it spent 3000 to 4000 million US dollars to acquire two other small cinema chains.

AMC now owns 347 theaters with a total of 5048 screens.

It instantly became the second largest cinema chain in North America and now has cooperation with the eight major film companies.

AMC is also the cinema chain that is most friendly to Chinese-language films.

The main purpose of Zhang Wen's visit this time was to see the screening of the first film of Once Upon a Time in China at AMC Cinemas.

After the filming of Once Upon a Time in China was completed last year, it didn't get a chance to be released in theaters. Coincidentally, Zhang Wen also wanted to see the market reaction to the overall release, so he put it off until after the new year to go into print.

The film will also be released simultaneously in Hong Kong and other places.

As the opening blockbuster of the Brothers Cinema in the new year, Huang Feihong did not disappoint Zhang Wen’s expectations.

Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia have all attracted a craze for watching the film.

Now it’s up to the United States.

“BOSS, according to predictions, the movie should be able to earn 500 million at the box office when it goes offline, which is a very good result.” Stanley said happily.

"The box office is similar to what was expected in Hong Kong. There will also be films by Jackie Chan and Jet Li coming this year. You just need to coordinate them then." Zhang Wen doesn't care about the box office revenue; he cares about cultural output.

"There's Cheng's movie? Haha, that's great. I will use most screens to show his movies then〃〃." Stanley smiled when he heard there was a Jackie Chan movie. He was already a fan of Jackie Chan.

"Yes, this time the production will be bigger. If the North American box office is good, I will continue to increase investment and arrange for him to come here to film next year." Zhang Wen said of the plan.

"That's great, I'm looking forward to that day," Stanley said with a smile.

"Is the company I asked you to help register ready?" Zhang Wen asked again.

"DreamWorks Pictures is ready. I'll give you the relevant information." Stanley nodded and said.
