Courtyard houses: Those who are capable are rewarded, and many children bring many blessings.

Liza Wang is now the undisputed leading lady of TVB. Smiling, she pulled the beautiful Kwan along, saying, "Kwan, we're all family, why bother? Let's just cooperate. Whatever Director Wong arranges, we'll do."

The clever Huang Rong pulled Lin Ajiao to sit down, saying, "I didn't expect to run into you in the mainland. My friends in the industry said you found a good man!"

Since marrying Niu Dazhuang, Lin Ajiao, although living on Hong Kong Island, has basically stopped associating with people in the entertainment industry. Only her former agent, who introduced her to the company, occasionally keeps in touch.

"It's not that it's great, but I don't have to face some people against my will anymore. There are gains and losses. I'm still quite satisfied with my life now. Meiling, it depends on what kind of life you want."

The pretty Huang Rong's expression dimmed: "Sister Ajiao, I'm not like you, a free person, where I can choose for myself!"

"All signed artists are the same; you can choose for yourself when the contract expires."

The two didn't have much of a relationship. Lin Ajiao always kept her words to herself, while the clever Huang Rong was different. Having finally met the woman of that legendary figure, she seized the rare opportunity to build a good relationship with her...

Grandma Qing and Xiao Guan had met a few times. In their interactions, Xiao Guan left Grandma Qing with the impression of being a sensible and understanding woman.

I never expected him to be so assertive today. It really makes Grandma Qing look at him in a new light.

Grandma Qing was also very dissatisfied with their performance, but that's just how things are now. Who can blame them for being at the forefront of Asian trends? Whether it's filmmaking technology or their understanding of the film market, they are unmatched by mainland China.

Hong Kong films are both entertaining and commercially successful in mainland China, and they are also very popular in Southeast Asia.

In a few years, even the Japanese film market will have a place in Hong Kong...

Director Huang realized that among those who stayed, this female celebrity was the leader, so he focused his attention on this top star.

"Ms. Wang, there's one last rehearsal tomorrow. Today I'd like to take everyone to the venue for a run-through. Tonight, it would be best to finalize who will be performing and what programs they will be doing. We'll be broadcasting this gala live on New Year's Eve..."

A large sedan was already waiting in the parking lot. A group of more than ten people got into the car and headed to the studio...

In Niu Dazhuang's private room on the top floor of the Yanjing Hotel, Shao Fuzi was staring intently at a document, reading it word by word.

Niu Dazhuang, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, waited quietly for him to finish reading.

After reading it once, Shao Fuzi quickly read it again to confirm, and then gave Niu Dazhuang a thumbs up: "Boss, you're amazing! You managed to get this special approval. Let's see if Bao the Shipping King will still be so arrogant now."

"I don't mean to compete with him. I just feel that I don't even have a decent office space in mainland China. I'm renting here long-term, so I might as well spend my own money to build one. After all, it's more convenient to have my own place."

"Brother, you make it sound like you have an office in Hong Kong. I really envy you; such a large business, and you don't even have to manage it yourself. You seem to have it all figured out. You didn't just call me this time, did you?"

"Yes, I've notified the gambling king, the shipping magnate, and the Huo family. I don't know how many will come. But that's a small matter. I have something important to discuss with you."

When Shao Fuzi heard about the important matter Niu Dazhuang mentioned, his eyes lit up. He thought to himself, "After working so hard for so many years, I can finally squeeze into their circle."

When the dollar plummeted, nobody else was involved.

"Is this another chance to make big money?" Master Shao was excited. As long as he seized this opportunity, doubling his net worth shouldn't be a problem.

"Let's not even talk about making a lot of money. If you really lose it all, can your body handle it?" Niu Dazhuang had his reasons for talking to him alone first. Of all the people he had approached, this man in front of him was the least wealthy.

Master Shao fell into deep thought. The current situation was like the private lending in the southern region many years later, relying entirely on personal credit.

Since Niu Dazhuang asked this question, there must be risks involved, so Master Shao began to consider the pros and cons...

These people have hundreds of millions, even billions, of dollars at a time. My own savings simply can't compare to theirs. Betting my entire fortune...

Master Shao was still unsure. He had witnessed firsthand how risky the financial world was; every year, many people jumped off buildings because of stock speculation.

Shao Fuzi suddenly looked up and saw Niu Dazhuang's deep eyes. He was startled. This was a test for him.

Suddenly, Shao Fuzi slapped the armrest of the sofa and stood up: "Brother, you think highly of your older brother, so I'll play a thrilling game of all-in with you! If you need money, just tell me a month in advance, and I'll give you all the funds I can." Once he made up his mind, Shao Fuzi wasn't one to hesitate.

"Brother, sit down, don't get so excited. This time it might not double like last time. Getting half the income will be good enough."

"Damn! Bro, do you know how infuriating that is? What does a 50% profit margin even mean?!"

"If you make a good movie, you can make your money back at the box office by leaps and bounds. My profit margin of half is obviously no match for yours."

"Brother, are you doing this on purpose? A good movie isn't that big of a production. This year's box office champion only made 23 million Hong Kong dollars. The profit is high, but if you count all the box office revenue as profit, it's only 2,000 Hong Kong dollars."

How can I compare to you? Your net profits are hundreds of millions of dollars, it's not even in the same league! Not to mention your "Battle for Godhood," which probably multiplied more than tenfold!

"I can't compare to you, brother. Yours is a steady stream of income, with a good income every year."

"Brother, you only see the thief eating meat, but you don't see the thief getting beaten up. You didn't see how many films you made that flopped. You only see the films that made money. If you calculate it that way, the money you make each year is pitifully little. There are rumors outside that I mistreat the actors I sign!"

"I have no choice. If I don't strictly control the production costs, my Shao family will lose money every year..." Master Shao usually doesn't complain to outsiders, but today he showed his true colors and told Niu Dazhuang all about his usual troubles.

Finally: "Brother, don't think I'm nagging, but we're practically family."

"No, my brother is just saying these things to me because he doesn't consider me an outsider."

"Yeah, bro! Can you give me a sneak peek? I'm really curious."

"No problem at all. This time I want to go to Tokyo and take advantage of the Japanese. You have some connections there, right? How about we go for a trip together?"

"Brother, to be honest, I have some connections with a few companies over there in Japan. As for messing around, I advise you not to. You've never seen a film set. Once you do, you definitely won't be interested in those actresses anymore..."
