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

"That's it?" Chen Mo asked, puzzled.

Liu Piaopiao said innocently, "Yes, that person offered me a film contract for five thousand yuan a month, but I didn't agree. Apart from this time, I haven't had any dealings with anyone from TVB."

Chen Mo frowned.

He originally thought that Liu Piaopiao didn't know the rules and had offended the people at TVB.

Now it seems that's not the case!

Chen Mo carefully thought about the information he had about TVB from his previous life and suddenly understood.

At this time, Mona Fong should be helping Sir Shaw prepare for the establishment of the Metropolitan Film Company next year.

Signing a contract for five films for Liu Piaopiao at once, at five thousand yuan per film, is this a case of trying to get a bargain but failing and getting angry out of embarrassment?

In that case, he's in the right, so we can't just let it go like this.

After pondering for a while, Chen Mo made up his mind.

"Piao Piao, would you like to participate in a TVB variety show?"

"Huh? Can I do it?" Liu Piaopiao was a little incredulous.

Chen Mo said confidently, "If I say it's okay, then it's okay. Just wait for the news. This time, TVB deliberately sabotaged you, so I'm going to make them pay!"

"yeah!"

Upon hearing Chen Mo's promise, Liu Piaopiao shouted excitedly and kissed Chen Mo's head.

At this point, continuing the conversation would be pointless.

Chen Mo picked up Liu Piaopiao in one arm, pulled Ann with the other, and then beckoned Liu Lili and Qin Huilian into the bedroom.

Tonight is going to be a long and arduous battle, with the sound of gunfire continuing until 3 a.m.

Two days ago, Chen Mo had spent an entire night taming a large foreign horse and then spent over twenty hours on a plane.

After returning, I didn't get much rest and immediately started the fierce battle.

That night, Chen Mo finally understood what it meant to be out of ammunition and supplies.

......

The next morning, Liu Piaopiao said that Qin Huilian and Chen Jiamu had both written new scripts and wanted Chen Mo to take a look and offer some suggestions.

Therefore, Chen Mo took Liu Piaopiao and Liu Lili to the film company.

Ann and Qin Huilian are still asleep.

They were in the back of the line last night and went to bed quite late.

Upon arriving at the company, Liu Piaopiao found the script written by Qin Huilian, and Chen Jiamu also brought over his newly written script.

Xian Shihui has also written a new script and wants Chen Mo to give him some feedback and investment.

He watched Li Yaofu's movie box office climb steadily this month, and he was on tenterhooks every day, afraid that Chen Mo would think he was useless and kick him out.

Chen Mo first looked at Qin Huilian's script, which was adapted from a murder case from a few years ago.

In Chen Mo's opinion, the idea was good, but there were some logical flaws, so it could only be considered barely acceptable.

Chen Mo then looked at Chen Jiamu's script again.

As a veteran screenwriter, the script is of good quality in all aspects, but it lacks originality and is still a cliché kung fu movie with clear-cut good and evil sides, where enemies first make enemies and then seek revenge.

With a script like this, if you control the costs, you definitely won't lose money if you make it, but you won't make much money either.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Mo gave Qin Huilian's script to Chen Jiamu.

"Old Chen, you can revise Chin's script a bit, and we'll consider it a joint screenwriting project. In the future, come up with more new ideas for your scripts; the more original they are, the more the audience will buy into them."

Although Chen Jiamu was a little disappointed, he still agreed.

Finally, under Xian Shihui's anxious gaze, Chen Mo picked up his script and began to read it.

After being taught a lesson by Chen Mo last time, Xian Shihui has been working hard in the past two months and has even consulted Chen Jiamu several times.

The script I wrote this time is of decent quality. Although it's still a Category III film, it does have some plot. As long as the filming goes smoothly, it should be able to meet the standards for theatrical release.

Chen Mo was about to nod when he saw the title of the script. Hmm?

"Bang"

Chen Mo slammed the script in his hand onto the table.

"Salty Shi Hui, what are you trying to do? 'Wild Thrusting and Thrusting Three Thousand Times,' what kind of weird name is that?"

Xian Shihui was startled by Chen Mo, and said in a trembling voice, "Mo...Brother Mo, I...I just wanted to do something like you...to create a gimmick..."

"Trying to create a buzz? Go ahead and try to create a buzz, is that how you do it?"

Chen Mo was furious with Xian Shihui.

"Go back and change the name first, then revise the script and enrich the plot."

"Yes, yes, I'll revise it right away!" Xian Shihui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Chen Mo hadn't rejected his script outright.

Chen Mo glared at Xian Shihui and continued, "This time I'll give you 500,000 yuan. If the film doesn't make it to theaters, you won't be able to make movies anymore."

"Also, no actors newly signed by the company are allowed to be used in sex scenes."

Upon hearing that Chen Mo had agreed to let him film, Xian Shihui became excited.

"Thanks, Brother Mo! I'll definitely do my best in filming! If it doesn't make money, I'll quit."

In fact, Chen Mo had no other choice, since the company needed to make money and support its employees.

There are still quite a few actors who were signed by Leung Kwan to film Category III films at the film company.

When Chen Mo first took over, there were dozens of actors who made Category III films. Some were forced to sign contracts because of debts, while others were sent over by Fei Hong. In short, most of them were forced into it.

When Chen Mo took over the film company, he let them choose whether to stay or leave.

Although most of them left, seven or eight actors had gotten used to it and had no other way out, so they chose to stay.

These people also need to work and eat!

Chen Mo couldn't keep supporting them for nothing.

And then there's Xian Shihui; it seems he can't make any other films besides Category III movies for the time being.

Chen Mo allowed him to film it, and he didn't have any big requirements, as long as it could be shown in theaters and didn't lose money.

Anyway, the cost isn't high, so let it be.

After finishing up the matters at the film company, Chen Mo took Liu Lili back to the bar.

It's still morning, and the bar isn't open yet.

In the hall, several underlings were surrounding a young man. Two of them were the underlings who had followed Chen Mo yesterday and were assigned to do things by Chen Mo.

Upon seeing Chen Mo arrive, one of the henchmen quickly stood up and walked up to him: "Brother Mo, we've brought you the person you were looking for."

Chen Mo's gaze passed over his underlings and landed on Chen Taotao, who was surrounded by several underlings behind him.

Yes, it's him. I didn't pick the wrong person.

Chen Mo took out a large golden bull and tossed it to his underling.

"Not bad, share it with the brothers."

"Thank you, Brother Mo!" The underling happily took the money and left with his brother.

Chen Mo looked at Chen Taotao and said, "Chen Taotao, right?"

"It's me. Who are you? Why did you have me arrested?"

Chen Taotao is now both anxious and apprehensive.

Although he had invested all his funds in Five Crab Group's stock, and Five Crab Group's stock price had already hit rock bottom, he still wanted to see if there was any chance to salvage it.

Unexpectedly, today at the entrance of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, I was suddenly stopped by several people, asked my name, and then forcibly taken here.

Fortunately, these people didn't seem to have any ill intentions and didn't lay a hand on him, so he wasn't too scared.

Seeing how his underlings treated Chen Mo, and knowing that Chen Mo was behind it all, Chen Taotao was eager to find out the reason and then go to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

The stock market is now open, and his colleagues should have arrived at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange long ago. They must be very worried if they can't reach him.

Chen Mo noticed the anxiety on Chen Taotao's face and chuckled, "Are you in such a hurry to go to the Stock Exchange?"

No need to rush. The stock market will continue to fall today until there is news of a market rescue.

The shares of Five Crabs Group that you bought are basically wiped out, and it won't matter even after the stock market crash.
