National Tide 1980.

People often say that good fortune never comes alone, and misfortunes never come alone.

But for Ning Weimin, this sentence didn't seem to be the case.

His life pattern is completely opposite to this sentence.

There are always fewer bad things and more good things.

If you don’t believe me, just look at it. He came back this time just to hold a wedding.

  But in the end, how much benefit was lost?

The master gave him shares of Pierre Caton China Company.

Song Huagui gave him a hotel suite that occupied half of the floor.

Kang Shude forced him to invest and become the largest shareholder of Yunyuan Hotel.

In the process of preparing for the wedding, he also inadvertently discovered such good things as chestnut mushrooms and Xiangyunsha through many people, and experienced the charm of the almost extinct tent flowers and box flowers.

This allows us to take these good things that are not valued by the world and are almost lost into our own hands, and try to realize industrialization and commercialization.

In addition, he gained attention and favors from upper-level bosses by helping Teresa Teng perform on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

In addition, he has successfully gained the trust and favor of the domestic film and television systems.

Several responsible persons regarded him as an overseas agent and gave him full power and resource support, hoping that he could promote Chinese culture overseas.

It can be said that he now has a bright future, and his future will undoubtedly be elevated to a higher level.

And to be honest, many of these things were not originally planned by him.

In fact, it was a strange thing that happened naturally.

It's like he is a luck magnet, good things always come to him one after another.

Such incredible luck obviously could not be explained by Ning Weimin's being a time traveler.

Although the time traveler can gain the upper hand, this plug-in is powerless to influence people's wishes and is of little help in determining whether the thing can be accomplished in the end.

Then there is only one answer, that is, the knowledge of how to behave in the world that Kang Shude taught him in this life determined everything.

Yes, many people can say something like “Those who are righteous have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous have few supporters.”

  But how many people actually understand what "Tao" is?

How many people can actually utilize this "Tao" in real life?

And everyone has a different interpretation of this "Tao".

In the past, Ning Weimin once thought it was "connections", "nepotism", "money", "power", and the ability to flatter and curry favor with superiors.

But now he doesn't think so.

Although these things represent power and resources, and although each of them can help a person quickly change his life situation when he is penniless, the problem is that these things all have side effects.

On the other hand, they will limit people, create enemies for them, create obstacles for them, and even completely destroy those who believe in them.

People who choose to use these things will only end up with the bitter consequences of "more haste, less speed" and "success and failure are both due to Xiao He", just like cheating in an exam.

Fortunately, in this life, Kang Shude made him understand the power of the word "harmony".

This word seems soft, but it is full of wonderful meanings.

Repeated use not only has no side effects, but also turns active into passive.

Before you know it, you can open up broader prospects for your future and accumulate endless opportunities.

Because even bad guys hope to make a deal with someone like him.

This is exactly in line with the saying "Not fighting is the real competition."

Of course, perhaps some people think that blindly seeking "peace" will only make themselves weak, will only allow bad people to have unrealistic desires, and even bring disaster to themselves.

But this only shows that they have misunderstood the word.

"Peace" does not mean unreasonable concession.

On the contrary, it is an ability and advanced skill that can control the situation, resolve contradictions, ease conflicts, and bring all demands into balance and harmony.

In other words, the more lucrative an event is and the more people are involved, the more important people like Ning Weimin, who pursue "harmony above all else" and have the ability to do so, will become and become the indispensable person.

If anyone dared to break the balance, Ning Weimin would not have to take any action at all.

The other participants will unanimously tear this reckless person to pieces.

  Of course, the bad guys are not fools. Since they can obviously make money by following the rules, who would risk the world's condemnation to do something that is not worth the cost, is bound to offend many people, and contains countless risks?

So for those who value harmony.

As long as you act uprightly and always share the benefits equally, your existence will be beneficial to most people.

If it is even beneficial to the country and society, then he will always be safe and will be a popular commodity.

Who doesn’t wish to have such a noble person by his or her side?

Who would be so bored as to take action against such a person who can bring benefits to themselves and the society?

Wouldn't that be destroying yourself and making the world your enemy?

Ning Weimin was also completely convinced that as long as he did this, he would be invincible, just like what was said in martial arts novels: "No moves are better than moves, and you will be invincible."

Not only do you no longer have to worry about unexpected disasters and no good outcomes in the future.

Even if there is a boss with a higher rank than Huo Yanping, it is impossible for him to be truly controlled and restricted at will.

No matter how well his business runs in the future or how big it becomes, he will not be summoned for a talk, warned, or fined like a certain Internet tycoon.

Because his pursuit is to never stand against the people and never increase his wealth by exploiting the people.

Instead, we should do more things that are beneficial to the national economy and people's livelihood, and find our own wealth code only from legitimate business profits.

If he wants to exploit, it is foreigners; if he wants to cheat, it is those who want to take advantage of the situation.

This is his "Tao" and the true meaning of the word "harmony".

In short, Ning Weimin now knows more and more how to deal with those in higher positions, and he also knows more and more clearly how to grow his career steadily.

To be honest, it was all thanks to the old man's training and guidance that he was able to successfully transform from a speculator who only cared about money and had a little cleverness into a legitimate businessman who was presentable and could make some contributions to the motherland.

From this we can see how important it is to meet such a noble person in life.

Of course, this also applies to those who have close ties with Ning Weimin.

Perhaps it was the saying "He who keeps company with vermilion becomes red, and he who keeps company with ink becomes black" that came into play, or perhaps it was the natural result of "when one person succeeds, the whole family will prosper", in any case, those who were closest to Ning Weimin all got what they wanted and lived smoothly.

For them, Ning Weimin is actually such a noble person, protecting them, guiding them, and taking them straight to the road of happiness. Take Matsumoto Keiko for example, as Ning Weimin's wife, she is of course the person who benefits the most from Ning Weimin.

In fact, with the help of Ning Weimin, she not only got rid of her own financial crisis and broke through the bottleneck of her career, but also turned from a female star into the owner of a film studio and made big-budget movies like "Li Xianglan".

Now, thanks to the even larger investment in "Crazy Rich Asians", he has become a person who has attracted much media attention in the entire Asian film industry.

Many Japanese media predicted that if this movie is as successful at the box office as "Li Xianglan", then Matsumoto Keiko and her Mist Studio will become the most powerful emerging film company in Japan besides the five major film companies.

After all, these days there are very few film companies that dare to shoot movies with such huge investments and can still make a profit from them. Even the "Big Five" do not have such courage and boldness, let alone the ability to achieve success one after another.

If they can achieve this, Matsumoto Keiko and Kirito Studio will have proven their creative and management capabilities, and their rise will be unstoppable.

From now on, there will be no one in the film industry in Asia who would not want to cooperate with it.

By then, Kiri Studios will not only be able to consolidate its position in the Japanese film industry, but will also become the hope for the revival of Japanese films.

Even in the republic with relatively closed information conditions and relatively backward market environment, these two films by Keiko Matsumoto have had a huge impact.

You know, in China, due to the huge box office success of "Li Xianglan", the box office has exceeded 15 million RMB with a movie ticket price of 20 cents, which means that the number of moviegoers in mainland China has exceeded 70 million.

This figure has already caught up with "Zorro" starring Alain Delon a few years ago, and the release is still ongoing with half of the schedule left. It is likely that the final revenue will be 25 million.

As for the movie soundtrack album, sales have exceeded three million tapes.

It even triggered a nostalgia craze in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, and many old songs from that time were remembered and listened to again.

As a result, Matsumoto Keiko became the focus of Chinese media.

In particular, the crew of "Crazy Rich Asians" came to Beijing to film. The Japanese actors in the crew also included Ken Utsui and Tomokazu Miura, who are very popular in mainland China but are visiting the city for the first time.

So, whether it was TV stations or print media, requests for exclusive interviews and performance invitations to them kept coming one after another.

It can be said that Matsumoto Keiko's trip to China to get married not only built a solid foundation for her own acting career in mainland China.

Even two Japanese actors, Ken Utsui and Tomokazu Miura, became famous.

The three of them have sparked a small craze about Japanese actors and have become the guests of honor that mainland TV stations are vying for.

Not only the national television station, but also the Beijing television station invited them to do their programs.

Shanghai TV and nearby Tianjin TV also strongly invited them, and sincerely hoped that they could come as guests and talk to domestic audiences about the current development of Japanese film and television, as well as future cooperation plans with China.

Of course, these media couldn't help but ask Miura Tomokazu about Yamaguchi Momoe's recent situation and current status.

In this way, these Momoe fans in mainland China have the first opportunity to listen to Miura Tomokazu personally tell his love story with Momoe, and learn about the real life and married life of their idol.

It can be said that Ning Weimin inadvertently brought about a small perfection.

That’s not all. What surprised Matsumoto Keiko even more was that the last emperor’s younger brother Fu Jie and his wife嵯娥浩 specially invited her and Ning Weimin to a banquet because of the film “Li Xianglan”.

During the meal, he even took the initiative to make a rather unexpected request to them.

It turns out that Saga Hiro really likes Matsumoto Keiko's performance in "Li Xianglan" and can feel deep empathy, perhaps because her own experience is very similar to that of Li Xianglan.

Seeing the success of the movie "Li Xianglan", coupled with the recent completion of the co-production movie "The Last Emperor".

  She suddenly had an idea: why not make a movie about her and her husband's story?

Her favorite actress is Keiko Matsumoto, believing that only she can interpret her story vividly.

In addition, Ning Weimin's way of dealing with people had long won their trust, so they specially invited her and Ning Weimin to discuss this matter, and even the couple had prepared the manuscript.

The autobiographical novel "The Wandering Princess" published by嵯娥浩 in the name of Aisin-Gioro Hao at the October Literature and Art Publishing House in Beijing in 1985, as well as the personal autobiography written by Fu Jie for himself over the years, can all be provided to them free of charge.

Needless to say, there was no reason for Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko to refuse this matter.

Because the life experiences of the Qing Dynasty royal family, especially the last two brothers Puyi and Fu Jie, can actually be regarded as a kind of IP, a historical IP.

Not only are people in China interested in it, but there are also many people overseas who are studying their lives. It has a wide audience and a strong curiosity, and there is a certain audience base.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about Japan at this time. Because of the special historical entanglements, they are indeed very interested in the stories of the descendants of the Qing royal family, and have a special kind of emotional concern for them.

In addition, Ning Weimin knew that the movie "The Last Emperor" would soon trigger a cultural craze about the late Qing royal family around the world.

It is entirely predictable that if they were to make such a film or TV series, it would be neither following the trend nor really being so, and it would definitely benefit from it anyway.

Think about it, the owner is willing to authorize it for free and act as a consultant.

If they don't agree and give up something that can obviously make money, wouldn't that be pretentious?

Besides, after filming "Li Xianglan", we have accumulated a lot of costumes and props from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. We can't just leave them in the warehouse and wait for them to rot.

Moreover, they have figured out some tricks and developed some methods by cooperating with actors and directors from mainland China.

If we cooperate again this time, the shooting cost will definitely not be too high.

Then wouldn't it be the right thing to do to take on this job and make this project a success?

What's more, as the operator of a film studio, Matsumoto Keiko also needs good stories and good scripts.

To be honest, given the scale of Fog Studios, they should be able to produce at least three to five films a year to avoid wasting resources.

However, the current Mist Studio has no artists of its own and is also short of scripts.

Then most of the production staff had to operate around Keiko Matsumoto's project alone.

Keiko Matsumoto was really worried about how to find more work for these people.

Originally, "Crazy Rich Asians" was an attempt in this regard. Keiko Matsumoto only played a supporting role in it. For the first time, Fog Studios set up two crews to operate independently.

In the second half of this year, Keiko Matsumoto's main work focus is still on the TV series "Black Leather Notebook".

As for next year's project arrangements, it is still blank.

Now that Fu Jie and嵯娥浩 have offered their autobiographies to us, it means that at least next year, Mist Studios can guarantee the release of another major film, which will naturally make Matsumoto Keiko very happy.

In the final analysis, after the filming of this drama is completed, it will bring countless benefits to the Tan Palace Restaurant run by Ning Weimin overseas.

So it would be weird if this wasn't a perfect match.

Of course I had to agree.

Fortunately, they agreed, because just a few days later, news came that嵯娥浩 had passed away in Beijing.

After attending the funeral, Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko seemed to realize the significance of this matter. This matter had become another parting request from an old man.

The last princess who would rather be a Japanese than a Chinese, waited for her husband for sixteen years, and finally naturalized as a Chinese.
