Support Chinese-language films, return ten times the losses

"Li Jiaxin and Rosamund Kwan are really incompatible. It's not easy to bring them together."

Sharp-eyed reporters noticed something was amiss early on.

After all, it would be strange if two women, both hailed as "Hong Kong's No. 1 Beauty," stood together.

Their collaboration dates back to Tsui Hark's "Swordsman II".

And this will only happen once.

However, it's probably not as simple as the kings not meeting now.

"I don't understand why that bamboo shoot guy would choose Rosamund Kwan as the producer?"

"What do you think? Of course they're going for the people!"

"I heard he went on a trip with Li Jiaxin before. Could they be having an affair too?"

"No wonder, it looks like they're fighting over a man."

"How is that possible? Both of them are incredibly arrogant."

"He's different. He's not only rich, but also handsome and young. He steals the spotlight even standing next to Andy Lau. Some people would be willing to pay him to be his girlfriend."

"Hmph! Just some kid who came back from abroad, he acts like a peacock showing off his measly money!"

……

After the opening ceremony, it was time for reporters to conduct interviews.

Du Qifeng, Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Rosamund Kwan, Li Jiaxin—there are just too many points of interest.

Even Liu Qingyun was pulled in to play a supporting role.

He is essentially part of Milkyway Image.

Subsequently, many reporters turned their attention to Tang Jinshan, the mysterious financier.

"Mr. Tang, what made you invest in Director Du's film? And such a large investment at that."

"Of course I believe in Director To's abilities. I've seen many of his movies in Chinatown, and I really like the script for 'A Hero Never Dies,' so I'm sure it will be a great film."

Anyone can say polite words.

"What was the reason that made you come back to Hong Kong to start a film company?"

Another reporter asked.

Who doesn't know that Hong Kong's film industry is in decline and facing a talent shortage?

This is practically like joining the Kuomintang army in 49.

"Because I love the culture of my motherland and Chinese-language films, I want to do my part and contribute my small share of enthusiasm."

"Fond of my interests, and now I've made a career for it—I think that's the happiest thing in the world!"

Of course, what's even more enjoyable is being able to date female celebrities.

The others didn't take Tang Jinshan's words seriously.

3600 million, it's going to be so hard to break even!

What's more, it was directed by Du Qifeng.

When he's lost everything, he'll have nowhere to turn to cry!

Clearly, he didn't understand the domestic film industry and was just throwing money around recklessly.

"Mr. Tang, is this just a hobby or are you planning to settle down in Hong Kong? You just said you're treating this as your career. As we all know, starting a business is difficult. Can you accept the possibility of your first film investment failing?"

That's a really hurtful thing to say.

Saying such things at someone else's movie opening ceremony is extremely unlucky!

In any other film crew with a darker theme, he would have been beaten up long ago.

Du Qifeng's face had turned as black as a black pot.

I glanced at it, and it was from Apple Daily—that guy, Lou Die Lei!

"I don't think a film should be judged by its box office performance. If it can be made and leave something behind, that is the greatest success."

Even if we take a step back, we can still cultivate industry talent; money is never wasted.

Tang Jinshan stood tall and spoke eloquently to the camera.

"The boss is right, he has such a broad vision!"

Liu Dehua immediately applauded to show his support for Tang Jinshan.

I never expected him to have such insightful views at such a young age.

She wasn't intimidated at all when facing reporters.

Rosamund Kwan and Li Jiaxin looked at Tang Jinshan with different expressions.

At this moment, he was full of vigor and high spirits, exuding charm.

Johnnie To and everyone else present looked on in surprise.

If before, people were impressed by Tang Jinshan's wealth, now they are even more impressed by his words and actions.

Tang Jinshan didn't stop, and continued to look at the reporter who had just asked the question.

"You just asked me if I can accept failure, and I think I can."

He won't agree until he fails!

"When I came back this time, I used US$1000 million to register a film company. So far, I have only spent HK$3600 million and still have tens of millions of dollars in spare funds."

So I'm saying here that if a good script comes along, I will continue to invest!

Tang Jinshan dropped a bombshell.

During this period, due to his large-scale spending, some people have been tempted to try and make a move.

Tang Jinshan disapproved of their furtive behavior.

He'll speak his mind; if there's a script that's going to lose money, he'll definitely invest in it.

I was worried about not being able to spend my money.

After a series of swift and decisive moves, he now has HK$4200 million in his hands.

There's still some time between the start of filming and the release of "True Hero," and it's unclear when the project will be completed.

We definitely can't just wait around.

So now, he's speaking out publicly.

To avoid them using underhanded tactics to bother me.

"Mr. Tang isn't joking, is he?"

"You want to invest in a second movie?"

Not only the reporters present, but also Du Qifeng, Liu Dehua and others were astonished.

That extravagant and wealthy demeanor is typical of a rich young master!

That's such a waste of money!

"Mr. Tang, what type of film are you planning to invest in?"

"How much money are you planning to invest this time?"

Which director would you like to work with?

The scene immediately erupted in excitement.

Even Du Qifeng and others wanted to get involved.

He is not the only director at Milkyway Image.

Wei Jiahui, You Dazhi, and You Naihai are all capable individuals who can work independently.

He's good at directing and screenwriting.

I don't have too many ideas, I just don't have the money to pursue them.

However, Tang Jinshan has now invested 3600 million yuan in them, and the most important thing right now is to make a good film of "True Hero".

How could you possibly have the nerve to eat what's in your bowl while eyeing what's in the pot?

"What I value most is the film's inherent meaning; the script and director are irrelevant."

Tang Jinshan reiterated his stance.

The reporters continued to press him with questions, completely ignoring everyone else.

In the end, all sorts of presumptuous questions came up.

"Young Master Tang, how old are you this year? Do you have a girlfriend?"

Are you dating Li Jiaxin?

"Can you tell me about your relationship with Rosamund Kwan?"

Do you prefer foreign or domestic options?

"Young Master Tang, is there a specific meaning behind your name 'Jinshan'? Do you actually own a mountain of gold?"

"There is no gold mine here. On the contrary, my father named me this to bear the weight of that heavy history, so that I would never forget what my parents went through and never forget where my roots are."

Tang Jinshan said in a deep voice.

This is true; Tang Jinshan's father was a Chinese laborer who was sold to San Francisco to work on the railroad.

The once noisy scene suddenly became quiet.

People easily associate it with the humiliating history of "selling piglets in Jinshan".

At that moment, everyone felt a great sense of closeness with Tang Jinshan.

Ultimately, we all share the same roots.

Who is your father?

Then reporters started asking questions.

"Just a nobody!"

Tang Jinshan did not respond.

"Young Master Tang, your name is 'Jinshan,' so why did you name your company 'Golden Dragon Films'?"

Another reporter asked.

"Of course, it's because the name sounds nice! We are all descendants of the dragon!"

Of course, it's because of the dragon emblem.

This time, let him carry forward the dragon emblem and let the whole world see it!
