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

For a period of time afterward, Chen Mo went to the film set every few days, just to force Li Yaofu to catch up on the schedule.

Under Chen Mo's constant pressure, Li Yaofu didn't get a full night's sleep for half a month.

I film on set during the day and edit videos at the company at night.

After filming wrapped up, Li Yaofu began working day and night on post-production and dubbing.

By the end of the month, Li Yaofu's dark circles under his eyes were almost as prominent as a panda's.

While Chen Mo was flirting with Liu Piaopiao in the film company's office, Li Yaofu knocked on the office door and came in with messy hair and dark circles under his eyes, holding a videotape in his hand.

"Boss, I've accomplished my mission. The movie's all set. Would you like to take a look?"

In those days, movies were shot on film, and after editing, they were copied onto videotapes for test screenings and for submission to censors.

Chen Mo secretly rejoiced that he had only been moving his hands and feet and hadn't done anything excessive.

Otherwise, a live sex show would have to take place.

He released Liu Piaopiao from his arms and straightened his clothes.

"Okay, Piaopiao, go call Chin, we'll go take a look together later."

With a blush still on her face, Liu Piaopiao forced herself to remain calm and said, "Okay, I'll go call Chin."

Qin Huilian now has her own private office, which, although small, is perfect for her to write scripts quietly by herself.

Hearing Liu Piaopiao say that the movie's post-production was complete, I immediately became interested.

The group took the videotapes, found a projector, and watched them in the conference room.

This version of the movie is only one and a half hours long, half an hour shorter than the original version that Chen Mo remembered.

Most of the scenes featuring police officer Wei Jinghao in the original storyline have been cut.

Anyway, his related plot wasn't very relevant to the main storyline, so deleting it actually made the plot more compact.

The movie opens with a scene of Liu Piaopiao buying a ring at a jewelry store.

Li Yaofu clearly gave Liu Piaopiao special treatment, and the resulting photos were exceptionally good.

Although Liu Piaopiao only appeared for a few minutes, her pure and invincible face was sure to attract everyone's attention.

In the subsequent plot, Lung Wai abandoned his previous humorous action scenes and instead displayed a very cold and ruthless demeanor, which was a refreshing change for the audience.

Although Gao Gang and another new actor, who played the police officers, were a bit green, their fight scenes were still quite entertaining.

Tian Yangen also played himself; although he didn't have much acting skill, he still fit the character's description in the story.

Finally, considering Lung Wai's fame and the need for film censorship approval, his fighting prowess was significantly increased in this version of the movie. However, he still dies at the hands of two police officers through a plot-driven death.

An hour and a half later, the movie ended.

Everyone was very satisfied with the movie.

"Well done, Lao Li. Not only did you finish the task ahead of schedule, but the footage is also very good. Get some rest today, and take the videotape to the review office tomorrow."

I've already spoken with Mr. Chen, the owner of Xinbao Cinemas. Once the review is approved, I just need to send the film reels to him.

"Boss, I don't need to rest. I can send it for review today."

After watching the film, Li Yaofu was also very excited.

Although he edited the film himself, this was the first time he had ever watched the complete film.

Ample budget, an excellent script, and top-notch kung fu masters resulted in a finished film that far exceeded his expectations.

Although he had collaborated with Lung Wai several times before, he felt that this film would become his representative work in the future.

Now Li Yaofu just wants the movie to be released as soon as possible.

He had been waiting for this opportunity to become famous in the Hong Kong entertainment industry for many years.

Although he worked at Cao's film company for several years and the films he made were profitable, he never won any awards and had little chance to become famous.

Unexpectedly, the wish that had been buried in my heart for many years was about to be fulfilled by Chen Mo, who was involved in a gang.

Seeing Li Yaofu's current excited state, Chen Mo couldn't help but advise, "The movie's release date has already been set, and the review process is just a formality. You should rest first."

"Go back and get some sleep. Looking at you like this, I'm afraid you'll suddenly die!"

Chen Mo couldn't help but worry. Li Yaofu's eyes were bloodshot and his face was sallow, clearly showing signs of extreme fatigue.

If this one dies suddenly, it won't be easy for Chen Mo to find another animal like it!

That evening, Chen Mo met Jimmy, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, in his office.

"Jimmy, has Old Sun sold off all his stocks?"

Jimmy nodded: "We've cleared out our positions. The stock price has been rising these past few days, and Mr. Sun sold at relatively high prices, bringing in a total of 2.5 billion. In addition, there's the 70 million transferred by Sister Mei and Brother Bin, and the 100 million you deposited some time ago, for a total of 2.67 billion."

This money has all been converted into US dollars through Citibank, totaling 342 million.

Chen Mo nodded slightly: "Yes, that's about enough."

Three hundred and forty million US dollars. Once we get to the United States, we can negotiate with the brokers and leverage it ten or twenty times. That could be a good opportunity.

Jimmy thought the money wasn't enough, so he continued, "Brother Mo, there are still about 70 million in stocks in the Hong Kong stock account, which is Mr. Sun's own money."

If you're short of money, how about borrowing some from Mr. Sun?

Shen Guodong, who was standing nearby, also said, "Brother Mo, you gave the brothers a lot of money this year. Everyone has been investing in stocks recently and has made a lot of money."

Brother Jin's branch in Sham Shui Po also has a lot of money.

If you need it, everyone can chip in, and we could probably raise around HK$100 million.

"No need," Chen Mo refused. "Three hundred million US dollars is enough. The brothers should keep their money for themselves."

Oh, and you guys should remind them to sell all their stocks as soon as possible. The bull market in Hong Kong stocks is almost over, don't get stuck in the stock market. Earning money isn't easy for anyone.

Chen Mo never considered raising funds from his subordinates.

Chen Mo had a rough idea of ​​how much money his subordinates had, and even if they were all put together, it wouldn't be much.

Even with leverage, you won't earn much more money, and it's not even worth the trouble.

"Brother Mo, is the bull market really over? When I asked Mr. Sun before, he said the bull market would last a long time!"

Upon hearing Chen Mo's suggestion to sell the stocks, Jimmy became somewhat worried about Robinson Crusoe's future savings.

"The bull market will definitely pass, but it should still be possible to exit within half a month."

"As for Lao Sun, let him be," Chen Mo said helplessly. "It's his own money, let him play with it as he pleases. If he doesn't listen to advice and something goes wrong, he can't blame anyone else."

He had warned Robinson several times to withdraw from Hong Kong stocks. But Robinson refused, and there was nothing anyone could do about it.

That old man is too stubborn.

However, even if he loses all his money, it's not a big problem.

As long as he doesn't go to the rooftop, Chen Mo pays him a high salary, enough to keep him from starving.

It simply means I'll have to start saving for my retirement all over again.

But that might be better; they'll work even harder in the future.

"Make preparations these next few days. Take a few people and go to the United States to scout ahead. I'll go there a few days after the movie is released."
