Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.
Chapter 222 A Sense of Conscience Still Extinguished?
In Zhang San's mind, Amy didn't need to ask him for permission to spend money, but today he felt something was off.
"I have other things to do. If you need anything, just tell the housekeeper. Here are three credit cards with a limit of HK$100,000. If it runs out, it will be automatically deposited. The password is six zeros."
When Zhang San left, he only glanced at them, which puzzled them. However, their low spirits were immediately lifted by the HK$100,000 credit card offer.
"Ah, there's a 100,000 limit in there. It'll automatically be deposited when it runs out. So... can I just spend it however I want?!"
They received their full payment before filming, and sometimes they thought that since they had already received their payment, there was no way they could return it. So, they inevitably became a little perfunctory during filming.
Fortunately, this is a fashion-themed drama in the eyes of Hong Kong people. You can tell what's going on from the number of "GG" characters in each episode. Is it all just for the purpose of killing off GG?
As for acting skills, they didn't see any at all; what acting skills are needed? What acting skills are needed for this kind of drama? All they need to do is strike a pose. The men are handsome, the women are beautiful, they're supposed to be cool and pretty, isn't that what they're supposed to do?
Therefore, they naturally felt guilty for taking so much money.
Unlike Fang Xiaobing and Gao Yuanyuan, who were excited, Wang Shengyi seemed indifferent. Once they calmed down, their intelligence began to shine through.
"Xiao Yi, why are you unhappy? This is a credit card with 100,000 Hong Kong dollars."
"Yes, HK$100,000. If I spend it all in one month, I'll have another HK$100,000 next month."
Wang Shengyi said, "It should be more than 100,000. The boss said that if it runs out, it will be automatically deposited back in. But this is a credit card, not a debit card. So, it probably can't be withdrawn."
"Shopping is fine too, spend as you like, the boss is really generous."
"Is the boss the 'big water pipe' in Hong Kong dialect?"
"whee……"
"Shall we go shopping tomorrow?"
"I'm completely unfamiliar with Hong Kong, won't that cause some problems?"
"Let me ask the housekeeper. If we're going shopping, where should we go, Tung Choi Street or...?"
"We're worth HK$100,000 now, why would we go to Tung Choi Street? Of course we'll go to Harbour City and Times Square! We'll be celebrities someday, of course we'll go to places like that!"
The group chattered amongst themselves, discussing where to go shopping the next day. They finally decided to ask the housekeeper for advice on how to make the shopping experience more enjoyable. By evening, after finalizing their shopping itinerary for the next day, the three of them felt a sense of accomplishment, as if they had completed a major project.
They decided to buy a lot of things and bring them back to their family and friends; moreover, the three of them had a feeling that such casual shopping opportunities would probably become rare.
Why did Zhang San leave?
He was going back to see Amy. Amy's actions today made Zhang San realize that he wasn't always a responsible person. But it didn't matter; this sudden pang of conscience... well, he might as well go back and spend some time with that young girl. Compared to a thirty-year-old man, Amy, in her early twenties, was certainly a young girl.
"Stephen, didn't you say you weren't coming back?" Amy was eating like a hamster, with a lot of snacks on the coffee table, and she looked at Zhang San with some strangeness.
My thought was, "This guy is so fickle. He leaves whenever he wants and comes back whenever he wants."
Amy was enjoying Hong Kong cuisine, and there were quite a few bags next to her. Judging from the brands, the most expensive one was no more than two thousand Hong Kong dollars. Zhang San knew a bit about these brands.
Looking at her chubby cheeks, he thought this foreign girl was actually quite cute. He sat down, looked at the snacks on the table, took a few, and started eating and drinking.
"These taste pretty good. You like spicy food, huh? The baby in your belly might be a girl," Zhang San teased her.
Amy asked, somewhat bewildered, "How did you know? Do you have X-ray vision? Or do you have the legendary precognitive ability?"
Zhang San shrugged and said, "How could I possibly have that ability? This is an ancient experience from our East."
Amy exclaimed in surprise, "You Chinese are so mysterious! How did you figure that out? Or did you know I eat spicy food?"
"BINGO!" Zhang San laughed. "We Easterners say that if a woman likes sour food, she is more likely to give birth to a son; if a woman likes spicy food, she is more likely to give birth to a daughter."
Amy asked in surprise, "What scientific basis is there for this?"
Zhang San thought for a moment and said, "Well... we don't know. These legends are all based on experience. If there's any scientific basis, it's statistics."
That's right, statistics has done it again.
"Wow!" Amy exclaimed in surprise, "So you people applied statistics in ancient times! That's amazing!" She thought for a moment, then added, "Why don't we use scientific methods for testing now?"
"Oh, your idea is good, but it wouldn't be good to know that sooner. Every child is a treasure given to us by God. The child's gender, appearance, physique, personality, and so on are all unknown to us. It's like opening countless blind boxes. Every time we open one, there will be a surprise waiting for us."
Zhang San's voice was soft and full of emotion, which drew Amy into a beautiful fantasy; however, this beautiful fantasy did not last long, as Zhang San's voice rang out again.
"Of course, not every blind box is wonderful; it's also possible to open one that will blow your mind."
After Zhang San finished speaking, he winked at Amy, who was still in a daze.
The other party left somewhat unhappy, and Zhang San looked at the view of Victoria Harbour in the distance with boredom. No matter how good the view is, it won't be very enjoyable when you're in a bad mood.
Meanwhile, the TV series featuring the four boys is in the final stages of post-production. The production difficulty is quite different from what I imagined. At that time, Zhang San was mainly focused on being handsome and good-looking.
"This shot is good; it perfectly captures the arrogance of one of the male leads, and gives off a sense of disdain."
After editing, the editor said, "Director, your description was excellent, so spot on."
Unlike Hollywood's producer-centric system, both mainland China and Hong Kong operate on a director-centric system. In this context, the director is undoubtedly second only to the producer. Unless the producer is completely uninvolved, the director is the boss.
Editing also differs between East and West. In the East, the director personally handles the editing, bringing out what they want to express; while in Hollywood, thanks to a film like "Heaven's Gate," apart from the truly top-tier directors, everyone else is handled by professionals, like an assembly line, with each step handled by a specialist.
