Hong Kong variety show: The tycoon who emerged from Portland Street

In the afternoon, Chen Mo still felt he should go to the film company.

Although he arranged for Liu Piaopiao to be the manager of the film company, she might not be able to keep those old hands in check, like Xian Shihui.

It's possible that Xian Shihui might be worried that poaching someone would affect his position in the film company, so he might outwardly comply but inwardly resist, deliberately failing to poach anyone.

Upon arriving at the film company, Chen Mo discovered that Xian Shihui and his associates were indeed not very honest.

They were either sleeping or smoking, no different from the gangsters under his command.

There's absolutely no indication that this is a film company.

Chen Mo ignored the others, walked straight to Xian Shihui, kicked Xian Shihui's chair, and roared, "Xian Shihui! What the hell are you doing here?"

Xian Shihui was sleeping on the table when Chen Mo kicked him, causing him to fall off the chair and land on his bottom.

The other people who were sleeping were also awakened and immediately stood up.

"Brother Mo, Brother Mo, you're here!"

Upon seeing Chen Mo arrive, Xian Shihui quickly got up from the ground.

"I just went to bed too late last night, so I'm catching up on some sleep."

Hearing the commotion, Liu Piaopiao and Qin Huilian came out of the office.

"Brother Mo, you're here!" Both of them were pleasantly surprised to see Chen Mo arrive.

Chen Mo smiled and greeted Liu Piaopiao and Qin Huilian: "Okay, you two go back to your office first, I'll come find you later."

Turning to look at Xian Shihui in front of him, the smile on his face vanished instantly.

"I remember I assigned you a task this morning, why are you still here? What, you don't want to do it?"

Xian Shihui looked terrified: "Brother Mo, I...I didn't. I contacted those people, but they all refused, so I was resting in the office."

I really didn't disobey orders, Brother Mo, please spare me!

"Their boss is dead, and nobody knows what will happen to the company in the future. They won't come if you try to poach people from them."

Did you actually dig that out of the blue, or was it just a casual question? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking.

Chen Mo's words plunged Xian Shihui's heart into despair.

Faced with Chen Mo's cold gaze, Xian Shihui's legs went weak, and he knelt down directly in front of Chen Mo.

"I was wrong, Brother Mo, I was wrong, I'll never do it again! Please give me another chance! I promise I'll work hard and recruit more people."

Chen Mo scanned the entire room.

Under Chen Mo's gaze, everyone fell silent.

When Xian Shihui received the order to poach people, these people soon found out as well.

They all share the same thoughts as Xian Shihui.

They were afraid that their positions would be taken after the recruits were brought in.

"Salty Shih-hui, I'm giving you one last chance."

"Tell the people at Cao's Film Company that if they are willing to switch jobs and come to my company, I will pay them 20% more in salary."

If you dig one up, I'll give you a reward of one thousand yuan.

If you still dare to do a half-hearted job, I wouldn't mind feeding you sharks in the ocean.

Don't think the film company can't function without you. Big-name directors are hard to find; there are plenty of better ones in Hong Kong than you.

"Yes, yes, thank you, Brother Mo. I will do my best." Xian Shihui kowtowed repeatedly on the ground.

Chen Mo looked at the others and said coldly, "You're all the same. For every person you recruit, you get a bonus of one thousand yuan."

After saying that, he ignored their reactions and went straight into Liu Piaopiao and Qin Huilian's office.

Liu Piaopiao and Qin Huilian were already waiting in the office. They had overheard Chen Mo scolding Xian Shihui outside.

Seeing that Chen Mo hadn't come these past few days, Xian Shihui had started to act arrogantly and occasionally even leered at the two of them with a lustful look.

The two women had long wanted to teach Xian Shihui a lesson.

However, neither of them had much of a foothold in the film company, and Xian Shihui had a better relationship with others, so there was nothing they could do.

Today, Chen Mo really helped them vent their anger.

This was especially true for the two of them, as it was the first time they had seen Chen Mo reprimand his subordinates.

Upon seeing Chen Mo enter, Liu Piaopiao immediately cheered and rushed towards him.

"Brother Mo, you were so awesome just now!"

Chen Mo, with his arm around Liu Piaopiao, laughed and said, "The people below are blind; just yell at them. You're the manager of the film company now. If I didn't come here, you'd be the boss here, understand?"

"Okay, I understand." Liu Piaopiao smiled and snuggled her head into Chen Mo's arms.

Chen Mo then looked at Qin Huilian and asked, "Chin, how's your script coming along?"

"Um..." Qin Huilian stammered, "I've written some, but I feel it's not well written."

Although Qin Huilian had watched many movies and had plenty of plot ideas in her head, she found that writing them was not so simple.

"How much have you written? Let me see it first, and I'll give you some feedback."

Chen Mo knew that a script couldn't be written quickly, especially since this was Qin Huilian's first time writing a script, so it was normal to encounter difficulties.

But it's not a big problem for him.

As a time traveler, he has plenty of movie plots in his mind.

If he weren't lazy, he could easily plagiarize and write a few scripts himself.

Qin Huilian brought over a stack of papers and handed them to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo looked at it, a look of surprise on his face.

Qin Huilian adapted the case of Tian Yangsheng and his gang robbing an armored truck.

Although this case caused quite a stir in Hong Kong, given the large amount of money involved in the robbery and the quick response of the police.

However, because it involved high-ranking police officers and not much of the stolen money was recovered, many details of the subsequent case were not disclosed to the public.

Due to a lack of case information, the script for Qin Huilian's story did not go smoothly.

Chen Mo quickly flipped through the entire script.

Yes, this is clearly written by a beginner.

"Chin, you can't change this case like that."

Qin Huilian's adaptation of the case was very limited; it was basically based on what was disclosed in the newspapers.

The crime occurred, the police solved the case, found the robbers, and arrested them.

However, due to the lack of some information, the script has some logical flaws.

Although Qin Huilian made some additions during the adaptation process, there are still many flaws.

Even if it's made into a movie, it'll be a terrible film.

Of course, it can still be shown in theaters.

However, since Qin Huilian has chosen to make this case into a movie, Chen Mo thinks it's better to make it well.

"Oh? What should I do then? Am I not suited to be a screenwriter?" Qin Huilian was somewhat disappointed upon hearing Chen Mo's assessment.

Chen Mo gently patted Qin Huilian's head and said soothingly, "No, this is already quite good for your first time writing a script."

"However, it can be even better. Let me share my thoughts."

Then, Chen Mo explained the original plot of the movie "Men's True Colors" to Qin Huilian in detail.

Of course, he changed the names of Tian Yangsheng and others, as well as the names of all the police officers involved.

He didn't want the police to target him after the movie was released.

"What do you think of the adaptation I suggested?"

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he felt his mouth was dry. He picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, completely unaware of the infatuated looks in Liu Piaopiao's and Qin Huilian's eyes.

"Brother Mo, you're amazing! If we adapt it like you suggested, the movie will definitely be a huge hit!"
