The richest man

Chapter 192 Opening a New Chapter in History

"Old Li, what's the big news in the newspaper today?"

A man who came to buy a newspaper greeted the owner of the newsstand and asked.

"The "Hong Kong Daily" published a headline on the front page. This news is very sensational and will have a huge impact on us Hong Kong citizens!"

"What is it, so important?!"

"The north held a conference and announced the reform and opening up!!"

"What is reform and opening up?"

"Look for yourself, it's absolutely earth-shattering!"

"Okay, hurry up and get me a copy of Hong Kong Daily!"

After the man bought the newspaper, he couldn't wait to read it while walking.

"Hong Kong Daily" introduced the content of reform and opening up in detail in the text, and made a lot of predictions about the development of the mainland after the reform and opening up. It believes that after the reform and opening up, the mainland will undergo earth-shaking changes and open a new chapter in history.

"The mainland is about to rise?!"

The man read the newspaper with a look of disbelief.

He came from the mainland. If the mainland was not so poor, how could he have smuggled into Hong Kong.

However, the analysis in the newspapers is clear and accurate, as if they have witnessed the various changes in the reform and opening up in the Mainland, which makes people feel convincing.

"I hope everything is as it is said in the newspaper!" The man took a deep breath, looked to the north, and said with a touch of hope.At this time, he couldn't help but miss his hometown, his relatives in his hometown and the scenes that happened when he was a child.Countless ups and downs are kneaded together at this moment, filling the man's heart.

"The young and old left home and the old one returned, the local accent remained the same, and the mane hair faded. More than 20 years have passed, how is everything in my hometown?"

……

Today, the "Hong Kong Daily" reported the news of the reform and opening up in the Mainland, which caused a great sensation in Hong Kong for a while.

Zhang Jun personally wrote the article, and his profound and prophetic editorials sparked extensive discussions!

In fact, even the mainland itself may not have such confidence in reform and opening up as Zhang Jun...

Liu Changhe, the director of the Hong Kong Xinhua News Agency, was shocked when he saw today's "Hong Kong Daily", and immediately posted the entire text without changing a word.

After seeing the "Hong Kong Daily", they suddenly had a feeling, as if they had already seen it.

"Who wrote this editorial?" the old man asked.

"Leader, according to Liu Changhe, the president of Hong Kong Xinhua News Agency, the person who wrote this editorial is a super genius who is very famous in Hong Kong and even in the world—Zhang Jun!"

"Oh, it turned out to be him!" The old man said in surprise.

Of course the old man has heard of Zhang Jun's name.However, Zhang Jun's age is really too young, but he never expected that he would have a unique understanding of politics, economy and the current situation that ordinary people do not have.

This editorial made him even more.

"Young people are awesome. This editorial has helped us a lot. You asked people to repost it to People's Daily so that people all over the country can see it!"

At the end of this editorial, it says "It can be reproduced by any media." Zhang Jun's purpose in writing this editorial is to make it beneficial for both private and public use.In private, he can enter more industries and earn more money; in public, he can.

This prosperous world is as you wish!
……

"I didn't expect Zhang Jun to be so sharp in writing an editorial. It's really a good editorial!" "Ming Pao", Jin Yong and several senior executives of the newspaper were surprised.

"However, is his prediction bold, even a bit whimsical!" At this time, a middle-aged man wearing glasses shook his head and said, "He said that after the reform and opening up, the development speed of the mainland is changing day by day, and the annual GDP growth may be more than 10%. It has created an astonishing increase of more than [-]% for many years! Think about it, is this possible? I think this bullshit is a bit big.”

Jin Yong and others also nodded in agreement. This editorial analysis is very good, but the data is not rigorous and slightly flawed.

"Then what do you think of what he said, the judgment that the mainland will be in Hong Kong?" Jin Yong looked at everyone and couldn't help asking.

"From a geographical point of view, it is indeed necessary to be opposite Hong Kong. As we all know, the main communication bridge between the mainland and the outside world is Hong Kong. Therefore, Zhang Jun's judgment should be somewhat possible."

……

An editorial by Zhang Jun sparked heated discussions, and it also drew more attention and attention from the mainland.

Of course, if there is praise, there will naturally be derogation.

Many people disagreed with Zhang Jun's views, so they published articles in newspapers to refute.

Zhang Jun laughed and ignored him.

The fact will prove it all.

In this life, Zhang Jun believes that under his influence, China's economic development will only grow faster, so fast that you can't even believe it!

……

At the end of the year, "Film Biweekly" began to hold the first Hong Kong Film Awards.

Due to the grand scale of the event and Phoenix TV's prime-time live broadcast, major film companies in Hong Kong naturally participated enthusiastically in order to gain fame.

At the awarding ceremony of the Golden Statue Awards, all the stars gathered for a while, the stars were shining brightly, and it was very lively.

In order to reduce his influence on the Academy Awards, Zhang Jun did not participate, but he sent Huang Baiming, the president of Disney Hong Kong Legendary Film Company.

Tonight, Hong Kong citizens tuned their televisions to Phoenix TV.

Such a grand film awards ceremony can naturally attract the attention of the public.

The Academy Awards has set up more than ten awards, and Legendary Films undoubtedly won the most important awards, among which "Jurassic Park" won the best picture and best director awards.

The best actor went to Xu Guanwen of "Modern Bodyguard".

Other awards were divided among major movies, and everyone was happy.

On the second day, all major newspapers were reporting on the Golden Statue Awards, and the public was also discussing, especially the Best Actor and Best Actress, who were dubbed the "Actor" and "Queen", and their reputation increased greatly!
For celebrities, fame is wealth.

All of a sudden, the value of an artist who has won the Best Actor and Queen Actor will increase dramatically.

And those award-winning films also bring a lot of benefits to the company. Even if the film is released in Hong Kong, it can still be sold to other places, that is, to Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea and other places.

In addition, the income of the video tape is not small.

Netflix has opened nearly 100 branches in Hong Kong, which has greatly promoted the development of Hong Kong's video tape industry.

With the popularity of video recorders in Hong Kong households, the distribution of video tapes has become more and more important.

And Netflix happens to be a company under the name of Zhang Jun. The major film companies in Hong Kong can't help but respect Zhang Jun more, which in turn makes Zhang Jun's status in the Hong Kong film industry reach a peak.

……

Hong Kong Legend Films.

Huang Baiming said with emotion: "It is unexpected that an Academy Award will bring such a big profit to the Hong Kong film industry!"

According to incomplete statistics, the award-winning artists and films have created a value-added effect of at least more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars.As the influence of the Academy Awards grows, the effect of creating wealth and value-added will become greater and greater.

Zhang Jun is much calmer. This is just a simple Academy Award ceremony. If you look at the three major international film festivals in Europe, every year when the film festival is held, it will attract hundreds of thousands of tourists.

How much income hundreds of thousands of tourists can bring, if one person spends more than 2000 U.S. dollars, it may exceed one billion U.S. dollars. It is scary to think about it.

Zhang Jun then said to Huang Baiming: "Think of ways to increase the global influence of Chinese-language films, and then we will also hold a film festival, even if the influence of this film festival is only in Asia!"

The largest film festival in Asia, it sounds... seems to be pretty good.

In the 80s, Hong Kong films became popular in Asia, and they indeed had the qualifications to host the Asian Film Festival.

Huang Baiming was stunned when he heard the words, and immediately agreed: "So far, there is no relatively influential film festival in Asia, and it's time to fill this vacancy!"

Zhang Jun said: "As the largest film company in Hong Kong, Legendary Films needs to make more good works in the future. Others dare not invest in blockbuster films, but we dare. Special effects blockbusters will be the development trend of movies in the future. Legendary Films must not be left behind. .”

The local box office market in Hong Kong is relatively small, and making blockbuster special effects movies will definitely not pay off. However, Legendary Films has its own theaters in Southeast Asia and Japan. As long as the movie is shot well, it is enough to guarantee a big box office hit.Moreover, the parent company Disney can also distribute the film to Europe and the United States, so Legendary Films can try to make more blockbuster films.

"Okay, boss."

Without Zhang Jun's initiative and Huang Baiming's cautious character, he might not have dared to take such a big risk.The investment of Hollywood blockbusters can easily be tens of millions of dollars.

The investment budget of Hong Kong films is generally several million Hong Kong dollars.

"Okay, this year Legendary Films will make an investment plan to shoot at least three major productions with an investment of more than 2000 million Hong Kong dollars. I will write a few scripts at that time, and you let the company do the shooting." Zhang Jun said.

Huang Baiming's eyes lit up when he heard the words. So far, Zhang Jun is still the number one screenwriter in Hong Kong. Huang Baiming is looking forward to his script.

A few minutes later, Zhang Jun left the Legendary Film Company, and then returned to his office on the top floor of the building.

"Just write "Resident Evil" and "Train to Busan", two of my favorite zombie-themed movies!"

"At the same time, let Legendary Technology Company make the "Resident Evil" game!"

He turned on the computer, pondered for a moment, and then started typing on the word document.

Hongmeng computer has installed Hongmeng Hanka, which supports Wubi typing input method and Pinyin typing input method.

Zhang Jun is now using the pinyin typing input method.

At present, the application range of Hongmeng Hanka is not wide, because the users who use Hanka are mainly from Hong Kong and the mainland, and the situation in the mainland, as we all know, is very poor. It is said that the atomic bomb was calculated by abacus.Of course, the situation is better now, but there is still a shortage of foreign exchange.

Some time ago, Standard Chartered Bank lent 50 billion US dollars to the mainland government. Not long after, a mainland purchasing group came to Hong Kong to negotiate a deal and bought [-] Hongmeng computers in one go.

The speed of computer development in the mainland began to accelerate in the 80s. Especially the old man said that "the popularization of computers must start with babies."This sentence was widely spread at the time, and then promoted a nationwide computer learning boom.

Crackling! !
After more than an hour, the first "Resident Evil" was written.

The movie is basically a copy of the original.

Next, he wrote "Train to Busan". Zhang Jun adjusted the background of this movie. He didn't want to write about South Korea and Busan. Hong Kong also has trains, so it is completely possible to put the story in Hong Kong.

As for the name of the film, it must not be called "Train to Busan" anymore. According to the name in Hong Kong, it just happens to be called "Corpse Train".

In addition to the script of "Train to Busan" having the model of a Hollywood commercial blockbuster, another very important point is the reflection on human nature and the portrayal of emotions in the film, especially the scene where the protagonist commits suicide and jumps off the train after being infected with corpse poison. Zhang Jun brought an extremely deep impression and moved people to tears.The protagonist was originally a very selfish brokerage manager, but in the end he resolutely jumped off the train for a woman...

In the office, the sound of typing on the keyboard can be heard endlessly, and each character is like a sprite jumping at the fingertips. Under Zhang Jun's agile control, it turns into a classic script.

Soon, Zhang Jun finished writing "Corpse Train".

Whether it's "Resident Evil" or "Death Train", he wrote it in great detail. As long as the director shoots according to his script, not only can the shooting cost and time be reduced, but after the movie is shot, it can be highly restored to the original. .

The next morning, Zhang Jun asked Huang Baiming to come to him to pick up the script.

When Huang Baiming heard this, he was shocked.

I just said last night that I wrote both scripts today, which is too fast.

Soon, Huang Baiming came to Zhang Jun's office. He took the script handed over by Zhang Jun and quickly glanced at it.

After a general look, the script is well written, not like a scribble.

""Resident Evil" will be adapted into a game. In fact, "Resident Evil" was produced based on one of my game ideas." Zhang Jun introduced when Huang Baiming stopped to read the script.

Huang Baiming was overjoyed when he heard the words. Legendary Technology's ability to develop games is the world's number one. If there is a bonus from the "Resident Evil" game, then the "Resident Evil" movie will definitely be a big hit at the box office!
"Boss, when will the game "Resident Evil" be released?"

"It will take at least a year to make this game, and the details are still uncertain." Zhang Jun shook his head.

……

At the beginning of the new year, 1979 arrived.

It didn't take long for the mainland to be like Zhang Jun, and one of them was Shenzhen, which is located opposite Hong Kong.

As soon as the news came out, there was a sensation in the whole of Hong Kong. People couldn't help feeling that Zhang Jun's research on the current situation and mainland policy was extraordinary!

At this time, Hong Kong Xinhua News Agency, on behalf of the mainland, once again invited many Hong Kong businessmen to invest in Shenzhen.

Shenzhen, also known as "Pengcheng", Zhang Jun is well aware of how this small fishing village, which is currently only a remote village, has become an international metropolis in 40 to [-] years. Others do not want to invest, but he loves it.

This time, not only will he invest, but the amount of investment will even be so large that people will be jaw-dropping!
