Support Chinese-language films, return ten times the losses

The two characters represent a $2500 million investment, yet Wong Kar-wai didn't show any backbone.

In the end, they chose Gong Li and Liang Jiahui.

Gong Li and Leung Ka-fai had long admired each other, and they were very happy to be able to collaborate.

This is one of the reasons why Leung Ka-fai was willing to audition.

In addition, Tang Jinshan also asked Li Jiaxin to make a cameo appearance as the wife of the male lead, Zhou Muyun.

Anyway, she had previously worked with Wong Kar-wai on "Fallen Angels".

With the main lineup finalized, Tang Jinshan hosted a banquet at the Grand Hyatt Hotel to meet with everyone.

Besides Gong Li, Li Jiaxin, Liang Jiahui, Wong Kar-wai, Peng Qihua, and others, there were also behind-the-scenes personnel such as Du Kefeng and Zhang Shuping.

They are all very famous.

Wong Kar-wai's lineup is still quite impressive.

In addition, Tang Jinshan noticed another person.

Assistant director Jiang Yuecheng.

That is, the blind man in "A Chinese Odyssey".

"Hello, Mr. Tang! You are indeed a handsome man! You look as dashing as a celebrity!"

Jiang Yuecheng was very hospitable.

"Director Jiang, I've seen A Chinese Odyssey and really liked your portrayal of the blind man."

Tang Jinshan also laughed.

"I dare not accept such praise."

Jiang Yuecheng waved his hands repeatedly.

He has always worked as an assistant director and executive director, and has never directed a single film of his own.

Where does he deserve the title of "Director Jiang"?

What was even more unexpected was that Tang Jinshan actually knew him.

This made his heart much more eager.

If I can catch Tang Jinshan's eye, I might have a chance to take charge on my own.

Who wouldn't want to be a real director and have their own works?

"Mr. Tang, I've long admired your name!"

Liang Jiahui also shook hands and greeted Tang Jinshan.

"I've long admired your name, Brother Jia Hui."

Tang Jinshan laughed.

His stance has always been very firm; he was even banned in Taiwan for filming a mainland drama.

He would rather retire from the entertainment industry than write a letter of repentance.

Tang Jinshan still admires him.

The dinner party was going well, but Gong Li seemed distracted.

During her stay in Hong Kong, Tang Jinshan didn't let her off the hook.

She still carries the gold he gave her.

She was taking medicine and drinking alcohol, but she didn't know if it would still be effective.

asshole!

Li Jiaxin's gaze shifted back and forth between Tang Jinshan and Gong Li.

Those two are definitely having an affair!

Gong Li appeared in three films invested in by Tang Jinshan: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Pretty Mom, and In the Mood for Love.

Nobody would believe their relationship is purely platonic!

And Gong Li's fake seriousness—who is she trying to fool?

Gong Li ignored Li Jiaxin's gaze; she didn't want to participate in this boring game.

That evening, Tang Jinshan had his bodyguards take Li Jiaxin, who was already quite drunk, home.

He wasn't in a hurry to go back to the villa.

He personally drove Gong Li to tour the beautiful scenery of Hong Kong.

Anyway, no one would recognize them at night.

Then, Tang Jinshan took Gong Li up Feie Mountain.

From this vantage point, one can overlook the entire Hong Kong.

Victoria Harbour is brightly lit and bustling as daytime.

A thriving modern metropolis.

Gong Li looked at the magnificent night view of Hong Kong and felt a deep sense of emotion.

Hong Kong is still much more prosperous than the mainland!

This time, it was Tang Jinshan's turn to be absent-minded.

He had witnessed true prosperity and grandeur, and his heart was no longer disturbed.

While China and the United States were locked in a direct confrontation, Hong Kong had already fallen silent.

Just like now, darkness enveloped everything, and there was no one around.

Tang Jinshan launched a night raid.

The scenery in my arms is much better than Hong Kong!

The most important thing right now is to cherish what you have!

"You dare!"

Gong Lijiao's body trembled.

She finally realized why this bastard had brought her to this remote place!

"Sister Gong Li, you're so alluring, I wouldn't be a man if I didn't dare!"

Tang Jinshan will not be intimidated.

As long as one has enough strength, even the mighty Gong is nothing more than a paper tiger that is strong on the outside but weak on the inside!

She easily saw through her disguise!

"Don't pull it, it's broken!"

"It's okay, I'll buy you a new one."

Beautiful scenery, exposed to the air and unprotected, is immediately subjected to human suffering.

The two played until late at night, sweating profusely despite the cold mountain wind.

Gong Li felt helpless.

This time it definitely won't work; I'll have to take the medicine again.

Moreover, some jerk tore my inner layer, leaving it feeling empty and uncomfortable.

……

After the dinner, a press conference was held to announce the start of filming.

When the media learned that Gong Li would be the female lead in "In the Mood for Love," they were once again in an uproar.

"Tang Jinshan continues his extravagant spending spree, investing in Wong Kar-wai's new film 'In the Mood for Love,' starring Gong Li!"

"Tang Jinshan and Gong Li are inseparable; their relationship remains a mystery!"

"Tang Jinshan has invested in films such as 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,' 'Pretty Mama,' and 'In the Mood for Love,' all featuring Gong Li. What secrets lie behind their collaboration?"

"Tang Dynasty's new favorite, Empress Gong ascends the throne!"

"Li Jiaxin sits on the sidelines, while the newcomers are oblivious to the cries of the veterans."

……

In an instant, reports about the two were everywhere.

Many reporters were also watching them, seemingly hoping to dig deeper into the matter.

Fortunately, Gong Li had taken precautions and went back to the hotel.

Moreover, Wong Kar-wai had a lot to do after filming started, so she continued to train and film with the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" crew.

The turmoil subsided considerably.

However, Li Jiaxin was furious when she saw the headline!

What utter bullshit!

What is Gong Li, a married woman, anyway!

She's a complete freak for being a mistress!

She almost turned down the role in "In the Mood for Love," why should she be Gong Li's foil?

There's also Tang Jinshan, who gave himself a small role, only to turn around and invest 2500 million in Wong Kar-wai's movie.

They even gave the female lead role to someone else!

Let yourself be a dispensable scrap!

Is that all I mean to him?

However, she soon realized her importance in Tang Jinshan's heart.

The paparazzi, who were secretly observing, also unexpectedly discovered another secret.

At the end of October, Hong Kong stock index futures were settled again.

The Hang Seng Index broke through the 10,000 mark this time, rising by 2,000 points!

Many who were pessimistic about the Hong Kong stock market suddenly fell silent.

To everyone's surprise, Li Jiaxin made a fortune during this surge in the Hang Seng Index!

A leverage of 3000 million turned into 7500 million!

The news caused an uproar throughout Hong Kong.

Li Jiaxin was so happy she was almost going crazy; she had no time to be jealous.

She didn't even try to hide it.

Who doesn't enjoy being admired by others?

Wearing fine clothes in the dark is not her style.

She wanted the whole world to know how glamorous she was!

What's more, people used Gong Li to put her down before, now she's going to steal the spotlight!

What does a character count for?

Real money is the most important thing!

Later everyone learned that the reason Li Jiaxin made so much money was because Tang Jinshan was guiding her behind the scenes!

He really is a stock trading expert!

Suddenly, all the reports shifted away from Gong Li.

Even Wong Kar-wai's "In the Mood for Love" has received much less attention.

Some people also photographed Li Jiaxin entering and leaving Tang Jinshan's villa, behaving intimately.

However, this is no longer news.

She's made so much money for me, I'd be willing to die for it!

Countless women would love to break down the threshold of Tang Jinshan's villa.

But Li Jiaxin got the better deal!

She's got both wealth and beauty, what makes her so special!

Li Jiaxin finally experienced the happiness of being envied.
