Rebirth 1983: Starting from taking back the family property.

Chapter 572: The Noble Family begins

Li Huini stayed in Beijing for almost a month. She visited all the scenic spots and also went to Peking University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology. After she came back, she made a dinner appointment with Lu Jiaxin.

While eating, Li Huini said: "The mainland is developing very fast now, with a large population and a good prospect. I told my grandfather that we can enter the mainland market."

You see, this is the result of what I have learned through observation and exposure. While playing, I also learned about the mainland’s economic discoveries and investigated the market.

Lu Jiaxin nodded and said, "Yes, the development prospects in the mainland are very good. I don't have time on the weekend. I have to go to the mainland on Saturday and will be back on Monday."

She wants to build a factory in the mainland, as Green Forest's factory in Hong Kong is too small. She plans to enter the mainland market in two years, so she needs to prepare in advance.

Li Huini said: "Jia Xin, I found that women in the mainland don't wear much makeup, they are all bare-faced. Everyone loves beauty, I think there is a lot of room for cosmetics and skin care products in the mainland."

"Why, are you planning to start a cosmetics business?"

Li Huini did have this idea. She looked at Lu Jiaxin with sharp eyes and asked, "Are you interested? If you are interested, let's do it together?"

Lu Jiaxin shook her head: "I'm too busy."

She didn't have the energy to do it together, and it was meaningless to invest in small-scale businesses. In fact, she had always wanted to buy a cosmetics company and make it herself, but the problems that Xinxin Real Estate and Green Forest encountered one after another made her realize that her management was loose and easy to be exploited. She should first correct the problems of the two companies and manage them well before starting a cosmetics company.

Li Huini was a little disappointed.

In the blink of an eye, it was early October, and the Noble Family started airing. Originally, Lu Jiaxin intended to cooperate with TVB, but the boss of this company was too stingy and wanted to buy out the copyright at the price of ordinary dramas, that is, to buy out the Hong Kong and overseas copyrights. Lu Jiaxin naturally would not agree to this, so she contacted the senior management of ATV, and they decided to buy it after watching the first two episodes. They only bought out the broadcasting rights of Hong Kong and did not want the overseas rights.

The outline of the Noble Family was written by Lu Jiaxin, and she also reviewed the scripts of the 40 episodes. Needless to say, the plot is very interesting, and the costumes and makeup are all the best. The director is good at shooting this kind of drama, and the leading actors are very suitable for the role.

The drama was broadcast during prime time. After two episodes were aired, there were comments in newspapers and magazines the next day. It had nothing to do with Wanjia Films. It was ATV that wanted to promote the drama.

First, the drama is well-made, with exquisite costumes, props and makeup; second, the plot is compact, with melodrama, love and patriotism; third, there are many complaints and controversy, and the whole process is sour and refreshing...

On the fifth day of the show's broadcast, Tian Pengyu called Lu Jiaxin and said, "Boss, our famous family has exploded. Boss, it's a good thing we only sold the copyright of Duan Gangcheng, otherwise we would have suffered a huge loss."

It's only been six episodes and it's already a hot topic. The ratings will keep rising as the show gets more exciting. If it becomes a big hit in Hong Kong, the overseas copyright will be priced high.

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "Who disagreed with filming the TV series in the first place?"

Tian Pengyu first admitted his mistake, and then made his attitude clear: "Boss, from now on I will take whatever you ask me to take pictures of, even if it's just a dog, I will never say no."

In later generations, a famous director made a movie about a man and a tiger, which won awards and was a big hit at the box office, but Lu Jiaxin didn't have the ability to do that.

Tian Pengyu said: "Boss, Lan Yinggu took the initiative to ask for a five-year contract extension. Boss, we have too few celebrities in our company, so we need to sign more."

Lu Jiaxin nodded and asked him to come up with a plan, and then said: "The key is to make good content. If Wanjia Films becomes a benchmark in the industry, those stars will scramble to participate. But if we want the company to grow and develop, we still have to train a group of our own people." Tian Pengyu agreed repeatedly. When Nie Jingting was the boss before, he had to ask people for favors, and those who nodded and bowed ignored him. Now when he goes out, everyone calls him Boss Tian politely, especially when some stars want to participate in their company's movies, their attitude is extremely good. This kind of treatment was not available before!
Of course he was happy to be praised, but Tian Pengyu was clear-headed. He knew that important roles in the movies he was shooting had to be played by actors with good acting skills who fit the roles. Otherwise, no matter how generous the gift was, it would not work. Damaging the company's reputation was equivalent to destroying his own job.

Halfway through the TV series, Zong Shimeng called and asked, "Jia Xin, Liu Yushu is not dead, right? If he were to die, Ah Fang would be so sad."

Lu Jiaxin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It was really unusual for her to make a phone call to ask about the plot.

"Why aren't you talking? Is he really dead? No, Liu Yushu can't die. If he dies, I won't watch this crappy show anymore."

Lu Jiaxin laughed: "He's not dead, but Liu Yushu's fake death is another turning point in the heroine's life. Sister Shimeng, why did you become so emotional after you got pregnant?"

Zong Shimeng felt better after getting the answer she wanted. She smiled and said, "I don't know either. I've become sentimental since I got pregnant with this child. It's obviously a small and insignificant thing, but I couldn't help crying. Zhifeng said this baby is a girl."

"That makes two good words."

Zong Shimeng smiled and said, "If it's a girl, I hope the child will look like me. None of the three children I gave birth to look like me. Every time I take them out, they tease me."

After chatting for a while, Zong Shimeng smiled and asked, "If you are at home on the weekend, I will come to see you."

"Can I go out now?"

"I can't go to crowded places, but it's fine to go to your house."

"Then I'll call Meitong over to join us."

Thinking about the four of them going shopping and chatting together in the past, Zong Shimeng couldn't help but mention Shi Xinyu: "Her family arranged a blind date for her. The man is the son of her father's good friend. They have known each other since they were young and can be said to be childhood sweethearts. They got engaged last month and the wedding date is set for the end of the year."

Lu Jiaxin exclaimed, "Why didn't you tell us about your engagement?"

Always hurriedly said: "I asked Meitong, she didn't know about this either. She said Xinyu didn't call her. Maybe she was afraid that seeing us would remind her of Tao Yong?"

Lu Jiaxin said, "She hasn't even taken away the engagement dress she asked me to design for her. Now that she's engaged, I'll put it up for sale."

Tao Yong had already paid the money, and when the two of them had a falling out, he asked Lu Jiaxin to handle it. He was just not sure whether the two would get back together, so he left it alone. Now that Shi Xinyu was engaged, the probability of getting back together was almost zero, so there was no need to leave it alone to take up space.

Zong Shimeng said with some regret: "When we were playing together, I disliked you and Nie Zhan the most. But I didn't expect that you two are still so sweet and affectionate now, but they have separated."

The main reason was that Lu Jiaxin was from the mainland, and she thought Nie Zhan might be interested in the novelty of the moment, and would break up when they found that their values ​​and consumption concepts were different. But after that meeting, she knew that she was overthinking, and that the young girl was very thoughtful and confident.

"Separation and reunion are the norm in life."
