My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 1144 I just want to stand and earn money!

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!
The Governor's Mansion is located between Upper Albert Road and Lower Albert Road in the mid-levels of Hong Kong Island, where the busy city seeks tranquility.

You can look up to Taiping Mountain from the top, and you can overlook the high-rise buildings such as HSBC and Changshi from the bottom, and the Fengshui level is excellent.

The green lawn in the back garden emits a faint fragrance, and the rhododendrons are quietly blooming all over the slope. Various flowers and trees are in clusters of flowers, and a hundred flowers are in full bloom.

Musicians are playing western music with violins beside the fountain, and waiters are carrying trays among the guests. The night sky is full of stars, and the moonlight is pouring in the courtyard.

There are many high-ranking officials and rich people.

Many people would chat with the oncoming Wu Xiaozu with their wine glasses, toast and drink together.

Gui Lao Hong Kong Governor Wei Yixin walked and chatted with Wu Xiaozu, and he looked more like a scholar than the British Governor of Hong Kong.

Compared with the previous politician's skills and the successor's speculator mentality, his personal views are relatively peaceful and he focuses on long-term interests, which is also in line with his political demands as a diplomat.

He himself, like many governors, is a corrupt countryman who is familiar with Chinese affairs.

When I was studying at Oxford University, I studied oriental culture. In 1960, I came to Hong Kong for two years of university. I have a deep understanding of Chinese and history. Later, I served as the first secretary of the agency of the corrupt country in China in the imperial capital. Absolutely China hand!
"Mr. Wu, I like the movies you made very much. I have watched every one of them. The "Seven Sins" is indeed my favorite. In the movie, I appreciate your research and sense of Eastern and Western culture. "

Holding a wine glass, Wei Yixin smiled and talked with Wu Xiaozu like an ordinary scholar.

His English name is actually David Wilson. After learning Chinese, he named himself "Wei Dewei", changing Wilson into "Wei" and David into "Dewei", which is very ingenious.

The name also comes from a pair of couplets given to him by his Chinese teacher: "A virtuous person should be based on the Tao, and a lofty one should have a stable foundation."

In 1987, when he took over as governor of Hong Kong in a hurry, Hong Kong Islanders, government officials and advisory groups believed that his Chinese name had three disadvantages: the words 'Wei' and 'Wei', and the homonyms of 'false' and 'dangerous' in Cantonese and Mandarin.

At the same time, there are too many "ghost" characters in the surname and first name, which together means "two ghosts knocking on the door", which is not auspicious.

Especially the word "Wei" is the worst, it can be divided into "Qianba female ghost under the mountain".Coincidentally, according to the agreement, the number of British troops stationed in Hong Kong at that time was exactly 8250.

Therefore, he deliberately changed his name to Wei Yixin. It happened to be a critical moment in the Sino-British negotiations on the return of Hong Kong Island. The name probably also means "defending credit".

Therefore, this ghost is actually a very thoughtful governor of Hong Kong.To a certain extent, his attitude towards China is relatively calm. At the same time, many achievements between Hong Kong and Britain are due to him.

Of course, his friendly treatment of China also caused the corrupt country to let him retire early in 1992 without any advance notice.Then a shit-stirring stick was selected from the shit pit of the rotten country to come to Hong Kong to be the last governor of Hong Kong.

"Thank you, Mr. Governor of Hong Kong. I believe that human beings have a common nature, and I hope my film can empathize in this regard." Wu Xiaozu replied with a smile neither humble nor overbearing.

"I expect Director Wu to create more excellent works." Wei Yixin smiled slightly.

Handing the wine glass to the waiter, he said, "I don't know if Mr. Wu has noticed the right of abode plan I announced last year?"

Wu Xiaozu was silent.

The "Ju Ying Dog Project" in Wei Yi's trust was particularly damaged when he was seeking his own government. During his tenure, he announced that the "right of abode" quota would be granted to " People who are important to the future of Hong Kong Island", "people who have the most ability and motivation to apply for immigration".

In a word, poach people, poach elites.

Obviously, Wu Xiaozu belongs to the best in this list.

"Sir Wei, I was born on Hong Kong Island and grew up here. This is my hometown. We Chinese have an old saying: A gold nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own dog nest.

I have no plans to immigrate now.

At the same time, I am also trying to shift the focus of my career to the United States, so..." Wu Xiaozu smiled slightly.

Of course he wouldn't do this kind of thing. If he doesn't hug such a thick thigh in the motherland, he will go outside to meet a wild father?
be sick.

If you say Chrysanthemum Eagle Dog, then I'll hit you with your American brother haha.

Wei Yixin was not unhappy, he nodded slightly, probably thinking that Wu Xiaozu wanted to immigrate to the United States... As for whether the file will be rejected... It really doesn't matter to Wu Xiaozu's current wealth status.

"Hong Kong Island is a beautiful city. I live here, and I really like some of the traditions inherited by the Chinese here. I am also very integrated into this place, and I don't feel that this is a strange country."

Wei Yixin smiled and said: "This is indeed a place for you Chinese, and I also look forward to a bright future."

"I am willing to give what I can, and I hope I can contribute a small amount." Wu Xiaozu smiled and chatted with this ghost before going to free activities.

He still likes to stand...can do people!
This person is Chinese.

"Sir Wei probably intends to award you a Justice of the Peace." Hu Gongzi said with a smile.

Wu Xiaozu didn't particularly care about winning the title of JP, but he was awarded the Order of the French Knights. It is also reported that the corrupt country intends to nominate him for the Order of the British Empire, also known as OBE.

The ranks from top to bottom are Knight Grand Cross, referred to as "GBE", and then Knight Commander, Commander, Officer and Member.

Brother Long received the MBE last year, which is the lowest level of the Medal of Membership.

Wu Xiaozu was nominated one level higher than him.

Prior to this, Lao He was awarded the Commander Medal in 1981, and Jin Yong was also awarded the same level.

Today, although a justice of the peace is worthless, it is also an experience of status.I believe that following Wu Xiaozu's overseas achievements this time, awarding honors is a normal behavior. After all, his overseas achievements also represent the cultural achievements of the British Hong Kong government to a certain extent...

Seeing Wu Xiaozu's slight hesitation, Mr. Hu smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Azu, don't worry about anything, follow the example, my father is very supportive of you being able to get the honor. Besides, JP or OBE agrees very much in foreign social occasions, which will be very helpful for you in foreign countries in the future." Hu Gongzi said with a smile.

In later generations, Mr. Hu's name is also followed by GBS and JP.

"I'm not worried about this, I'm afraid someone will scold me."

"Who would scold this..."

Hehe, it's because you don't know what money my book friends have!Take bamboo shoots~~
"Azu—"

"Uncle Six.", "Uncle Six!"

Sir Shao walked towards Wu Xiaozu in a spirited and graceful manner, and both Wu Xiaozu and Mr. Hu rushed to meet him.

"Ah Ting is here too."

Sixth Uncle Shao greeted Hu Zhenting with a smile. The relationship between the two was very good, otherwise Mr. Hu would not have personally appeared as a judge for TVB's beauty pageant... Cough cough cough, it must not be pure lust.

The main aspect is that Mr. Hu has always deliberately pushed Mr. Hu to the front of the stage, and agreed to marry Hong Kong sister Ling Lingzi also has this consideration.

"Azu, congratulations on winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film." Uncle Shao weighed his words, and then said, "I've also watched what happened in the stock market in the past two days. Do you have any thoughts?"

Wu Xiaozu pretended not to understand, and kept smiling, "What does Uncle Six mean?"

Sixth Uncle Shao looked at him with a smile, "It's just a matter of loyalty, you don't have to think about it. Someone just asked me to ask you, is there any chance to ease this matter?

After all, this incident has affected the entire entertainment circle, and recently someone greeted the people in the TVB News Department, hoping that they will not continue to fight..."

Wu Xiaozu nodded in understanding.

"I don't think Uncle Six may know much about this matter."

Wu Xiaozu smiled slightly, and said in a slow voice: "I didn't expect that the Internet would affect the entire entertainment circle. The survival of a company may depend on many factors.

As a person, I have always wanted to stand up and make money, but unfortunately there are always people who want me to kneel down.

If I hadn't stood here today, Uncle Liu, what do you think of me? "

Shao Yifu nodded, he naturally understood the meaning of Wu Xiaozu's words.

If he didn't stand here, then of course he didn't win the award, so maybe the thing now is that the roles have been reversed.He naturally didn't know Wu Xiaozu's layout, but there was nothing wrong with that.

Shao Yifu couldn't say anything about it.

"I feel the same way, and I support it." Shao Yifu said, "So, I said, I don't want to intercede, but just to help with a message. TVB will not silence it because of this."

"Thank you Uncle Six."

"I'm also in the entertainment circle." Shao Yifu smiled, "I'll pass on your thoughts, is there a suitable price?"

"Sixth uncle, you mentioned it like this..." Wu Xiaozu also smiled, and turned to look at Hu Zhenting, "Brother Ting, what was my price back then?"

"5 dollars."

"Okay, then—" Wu Xiaozu smiled, "Ten times?"

"it is good."

Shao Yifu nodded, "I just want to spread the word." As he spoke, his voice changed: "I have a chance to be a guest on TVB, we want to interview you for many programs.

And I heard that you are cooperating with Wanwan TV station?In the future, we can also cooperate..."

"I've always wanted to ask Uncle Six for advice."

"I'm looking forward to this year's Miss Hong Kong." Shao Yifu joked with a smile.

"I will definitely join you when I have time."

The three of them clinked glasses gently again, in tacit understanding.

Wu Xiaozu was not surprised that someone came to be a lobbyist. After all, TVB also spoke for itself, and that's enough.

"Being able to call Sixth Uncle to pass on a message is quite a feat."

Mr. Hu looked at Sir Shao who left, and said half-jokingly: "Do you think they will agree with your price?"

"Hehe, Brother Ting, what do you think?" Wu Xiaozu shrugged and asked back.

Hu Zhenting chuckled and clinked glasses, "Be bigger and stronger!"

"Together create brilliance!"

Ding!
boom!
In the commercial building in Central, a European-style vase fell on the ground.

"Wu Xiaozu is poor and crazy? 50 yuan? I can buy him a cemetery with the best Fengshui for 50 yuan!" Li Jianhui couldn't help but cursed.

"Then what do you want to do? Now, those retail investors outside are already jealous!" Song Yayun said helplessly: "Now the stock price is deadlocked at around 24 yuan. The best way now is..."

He didn't go on, but many people in the room understood.

Slash yourself with a knife, and survive with a broken arm!
"Now we dock the tail, it is undoubtedly carrying the sedan chair to many parties, and everyone's loss is not hundreds of millions." Someone couldn't help saying.

"We still need to talk to Azu."

"Now the retail investors have already exploded..."

"People should first deal with those newspapers that confuse retail investors. Now those few financial newspapers have become the base camps of retail investors!"

Liu Luanxiong sat in the main seat with an indifferent expression. He glanced at the landline cordless phone next to him. When everyone was making a fuss, he suddenly picked up the receiver and dialed a number.

beep!
beep!
beep!
"Hello, who is it, I'm Wu Xiaozu." A clearly visible voice came from the phone, but now there was an instant silence.

On the golf course, green lawns.

Wu Xiaozu put down his cue and took the private phone from the secretary. Meng Jiahui, who had a slender waist and long legs, stood next to Wu Xiaozu, holding an umbrella in his hand to help him shade from the sun.

"Azu, it's me."

"Boss~"

Wu Xiaozu held the cue in his hand, and smiled, "I heard magpies calling when I went out this morning, and I was thinking about what to do. I didn't expect you to call me... No wonder. Do you have any orders?"

"Fulinmen recently arrived with a new batch of high-quality caviar. I heard that it tastes good. May I send someone to give you a taste?"

Seeing Liu Luanxiong talking and laughing happily with Wu Xiaozu on the other side of the phone, several people present looked at each other in blank dismay.

"I'm ashamed to let you spend money, big brother, I should treat you to tea..." Wu Xiaozu smiled at the phone, as if old friends were joking with each other.

"You call me a boss."

Da Liu smiled and said, "It's natural for me to pay you out of my pocket... After all, I'm also a few years older than you, but I just don't have the same appetite as you young people now."

"Boss, you are very generous. I heard that it's okay to eat a few crabs at a time. Although the weather is hot now, the crabs are still cold. Eating too much is really easy to cause stomach upset."

"My stomach is not bad, a little coldness is not a problem. On the contrary, you often don't meet you at Fulinmen. When I asked the waiter, they all said that you haven't gone for a long time. What's the matter? The food doesn't suit your appetite?"

"It's not that it's not to your liking, it's just that the dishes are a little bit off."

"How close?"

"Wait a minute, let me ask..."

I only heard Wu Xiaozu's vaguely inquiring voice from the phone, "YOYO, how much is the difference now? 20...26? Oh..."

The unabashed voice over there made everyone present look at each other, and then heard Wu Xiaozu's hearty laughter: "Boss, to be honest, the taste is more than half bad."

"Oh, what's the difference?" Da Liu changed his legs with a smile on his face.

"It's not 嚒, so it's better not to eat it first. I don't know why, but I might want to wait a little longer, maybe the taste will be even better."

"Good things wait for no one."

"It's never too late for a good meal, sir?"

"The overnight meal is not easy to swallow."

"Hey, don't you know me? It's good to eat hard bones... It's good to bite the bones and connect the tendons."

"Hey, hahaha...then your appetite is good enough." Da Liu laughed, "Azu, are you free to have tea together?"

"Well, I have time anytime."

"That's a good relationship, let's take these two days." Da Liu Fang Zhengkuo showed a serious face, with a smile on his mouth, "By the way, don't forget to eat the caviar I gave you."

"Don't worry, don't forget."

"Okay, let's have some tea."

"Okay, big brother, I have to drink tea."

beep beep-

Snapped!
Liu Luanxiong directly threw the phone aside and stood up, "Prepare the car for me, I have an appointment with the HSBC executive for tea."

On the court, Wu Xiaozu also threw the phone to the secretary, rubbed his hands, held the club again, twisted his waist, and putt lightly.

The golf ball slowly rolled into the hole.

"Good shot! Brother Zu, your game skills are getting better and better. I admire you!"

Luo Zhaohui smiled and clapped his hands flatteringly with the cue between his hands, "Brother Zu, I am convinced by your golf skills. I lost again..."

"I said earlier, don't bet with me. If you don't bet money, I'm at the same level of skill. If you bet money, then I will perform beyond the level.

I like the feeling that I can make money standing up. " Wu Xiaozu said to Luo Chaohui with a smile.

"Being humbled, I will buy a bottle of the best red wine for Zu Ge in a while, and I am willing to admit defeat!"

Meng Jiahui bent down to pick up the golf ball, and trotted to catch up with the group of people.
