Chapter 1318 1337【What kind of ghost is Mr. Song】on
Hong Kong, Big Regal Nightclub——
In a VIP room, a bearded director is having a carnival with a group of starlets and friends.

The general manager of the Big Rich Nightclub came in from time to time to ask if he needed anything. Even the boss of the Big Rich had warmly brought fruit plates and drinks when he learned that the bearded director was gathering here.

You must know that the Big Rich Nightclub is very famous in Hong Kong, and being so valued by the boss here shows how powerful this bearded director is.

In fact, the bearded director’s surname is Gu, and his name is Gu Baocheng. He was born in the film school of the University of Los Angeles in the United States. He first filmed in Singapore and Taiwan, and shot many influential films in the two places.

Later, this Gu Baocheng came to Hong Kong and wanted to make a big splash in this Eastern Hollywood, but he didn't expect that Hong Kong is full of talents, especially talented directors.

As a result, Gu Baocheng became a useless hero, and could only shoot some small productions in the Hong Kong film industry. When he was down, he even helped people shoot some low-level TV commercials.

But in the past two years, Gu Baocheng's life took a turn for the better.

He was very honored to be favored by the Kang Corporation under the Kang Group, to be precise, by the boss Kang Zuyao, who even chose him as the head of the production department of the Kang Corporation.

Now the Kang Group is in full swing in Hong Kong. When Big Brother Huo, Li Chaoren and others are fighting fiercely with the financial giant Soros in the financial market, the Kang Group is flourishing, following the trend and hyping in the financial market. Made a fortune.

With the growth of the Kang Group, Kang Zuyao is ambitious and wants to swallow the entire Hong Kong film industry, so he is ready to attack the Hong Kong Film Group and the pillar of the Hong Kong film --- Phantom Entertainment.

As the head of the production department of the Kang Corporation, Gu Baocheng lived up to expectations after being appreciated by Kang Zuyao. In just one year, he produced seven or eight super profitable movies for the Kang Corporation.

In addition, Gu Baocheng relied on his long-sleeved dancing skills and his talent in communication and entertainment to directly recruit a large number of Hong Kong artists to Kang Entertainment, including hundreds of Hong Kong's first-line male and female stars, and even some veteran superstars. .

It can be said that with the strong support of Kang Entertainment Company, this Gu Baocheng has almost wiped out all the famous stars in Hong Kong.

Why are there so many Hong Kong stars willing to work for Kang Entertainment?
There are very important historical reasons for this.

You know, the Hong Kong film business is different from Hollywood in the United States. Hong Kong films have always followed the "star system", that is, when filming, the star's remuneration accounts for more than half of the total investment, and when filming, the star has the right to speak. You can modify the script and other privileges. Here you can refer to the relationship between Master Xing and Li Lichi, who was the director at the time, when he was filming "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance". Master Xing basically "overhauled" Director Li's script.

Therefore, the power of stars in Hong Kong is very great, and this also leaves hidden dangers for the decline of Hong Kong movies in the future.

Because the investors who invest in movies only value star actors, not the quality of the movie itself, this makes Hong Kong movies more and more garbage, fewer and fewer moviegoers, and lower box office.

Song Zhichao knew about the disadvantages of Hong Kong movies, so when he established the Hong Kong Film Group, he planned to reform the "star system"——
Depressing movie stars' salaries for production costs;

Reduce the elbows of stars in film production and let directors and screenwriters take the lead;

What's more, let the stars do what they should do-to study acting skills, instead of walking the red carpet when they have nothing to do.

In short, Song Zhichao's "initial intention" to reform Hong Kong films is good, but Hong Kong films have been developed for so long, and the stars have long been accustomed to high salaries and privileges. Who can stand it?

It is precisely because of this that in the early days of Song Zhichao's establishment of the Hong Kong Film Group, he relied on the entire group to suppress those stars so that they would not dare to make mistakes; Coupled with the temptation of high remuneration and other conditions, those Hong Kong movie stars flocked to them, got rid of the shackles of Hong Kong film groups, and rushed to the embrace of Kang Entertainment.

And as the great hero of this "snatching incident", Gu Baocheng is in full swing in the Hong Kong entertainment circle, and has also become a big celebrity in the Hong Kong social circle.

……

tonight--
Everyone gathered here to hold a celebration ball for Gu Baocheng. By the way, those who didn't know each other before wanted to get on the line of Gu Baocheng. Those who knew each other before wanted to strengthen their relationship so that they could walk sideways in the Hong Kong entertainment circle in the future.

At this moment, Gu Baocheng had already been drank a lot by the crowd, his stomach felt a little queasy, his throat tightened, and a stream of dregs of wine and vegetables rushed up his throat, wanting to spit it out.

However, Gu Baocheng swallowed sharply, and suppressed it again.

He drank good wine tonight. A bottle of red wine worth more than 3 yuan can cost thousands of Hong Kong dollars, so it should not be wasted.

Seeing that Gu Baocheng looked dizzy, several friends hurriedly asked him to sit down on the soft sofa, and they started chatting.

Those starlets who were chattering and wearing heavy makeup also became quiet and sat beside them, acting as loyal listeners.

Surrounded by all the stars, Gu Baocheng was so satisfied that he hiccupped and said, "You guys are kind to me, I will keep it in my heart! If there are benefits in the future, I, Gu, will never forget everyone—— er, absolutely We will cook and fish together!"

"Boss Gu is right!"

"Yeah, we are all one family now! Of course we have to work together!"

The surrounding people echoed.

At this time, a male celebrity surnamed Cao came over and said, "It's good that Mr. Gu is willing to take care of us, but the good times of us artists are probably coming to an end!"

"Oh, why?" Gu Baocheng squinted and said, "Who dares to make things difficult for you, just tell me!"

Cao Mingxing looked around furtively, and then said cautiously: "Boss, don't you know?"

"You know what?" Gu Baocheng was a little unhappy, feeling that Cao Mingxing was playing tricks.

"Cough cough!" Cao Mingxing coughed twice. He himself became popular for shooting restricted-rated movies. Although he made a lot of money, he was looked down upon by others. He came to join us tonight, hoping to be taken care of by Gu Baocheng, and he didn't want to make him angry. .

"Ahem, that's it - I heard that person is going to come back!"

"Which person?" Gu Baocheng was really angry, the man surnamed Cao couldn't explain why he was hesitating.

The people around also looked at Cao Mingxing with disgust, thinking that it was very low-level for him to tease people like this.

Cao Mingxing didn't care too much, and spit out three words with a little fear on his face: "Song—Mr.—Sheng!"

Immediately—
The whole room was eerily quiet.
