Spy Shadow.

Chapter 1082 It’s too late to meet
Their tens of millions and millions are all US dollars.

This money can provide you with enough food and drink for a lifetime no matter where you are in the world. If you know how to manage your finances, you will have more and more money in the future.

With Loach's intelligence, he would never do a business that would lose money.

Lily transferred the money very quickly, and Loach and Shen Hanwen each transferred 300,000 yuan to the film company's account.

Chu Lingyun directly allocated 1.4 million US dollars, and 2 million US dollars were in place.

"Mr. Tran, this is our boss, the big boss."

Chu Lingyun was receiving the screenwriter. Looking at the plain-looking man in front of him, Chu Lingyun smiled.

He knew the movie and the heroine, but didn't know who the screenwriter and director were. However, knowing these two things was enough. Even if it was a different director, if he listened to the screenwriter's advice, the film wouldn't be too bad.

So what if the photo is bad?
The story of this movie is very good, and it can make back its investment even if it is not good. Besides, it is reviewed by people from the film company, and they have a more professional vision.

"Hello, Boss Chu."

Trump greeted carefully. Actually, he had a bad record before, but he loved writing and had written many scripts.

This time, when he heard that the new film company owned by the same boss as the largest TV station was calling for scripts, he submitted his newly written script without hesitation. Unexpectedly, the big boss really valued it and had already approved a project for him.

Although the investment was not particularly large, two million was not a small amount of money and was enough to make the film according to his ideas.

"Mr. Tran, I like and appreciate your script very much. Roman Holiday is very well written. I believe it will be a big hit after it is made into a movie. So I chose your script without hesitation as the first movie produced by my company."

Chu Lingyun smiled and said, yes, this script is "Roman Holiday", which has a very strong influence in film history, and the beautiful Miss Benhe became famous because of this movie.

As for various awards, he won numerous them.

"Thank you for your appreciation. Like you, I believe this movie will be a big hit."

Trump was a little excited. The oriental man in front of him was a billionaire, and one of the top billionaires.

Such people personally said that they admired his script very much, which was enough to make him proud.

He had read some reports about Chu Lingyun. The TV station alone was worth billions, and most of the shares were in the hands of this oriental man.

Moreover, now is an era of rapid development of television. I believe that it won’t be long before the market value of other people’s TV stations will reach tens of billions.

This is the case with just the TV station; they have more than one industry in their hands.

The future billionaire, now a tycoon with billions of assets, took a fancy to his script and met him in person, which was the greatest affirmation of him.

"Very good. I will arrange for the company's people to cooperate with you and find a suitable director. However, I will choose a female lead for you. You will definitely be very satisfied when you meet her."

Chu Lingyun nodded slightly. The heroine is the soul and must not be replaced. No matter which company Ben He is in now, he must dig him to his own agency for this movie shoot.

"Heroine, do you have a suitable candidate?"

Tran's heart tightened. The most important thing in this script is the actress. If the boss insisted on arranging the person he wanted to promote, it would very likely ruin the script.

"Don't worry, I told you that you will be satisfied."

Chu Lingyun understood what he was worried about. Liu Shukui should be back soon, and he had already gone to find Ben He.

"boss."

Just as he was thinking about it, Liu Shukui pushed the door open with a girl. When Chu Lingyun saw Ben He for the first time, even though he had seen many beauties in his later lives, he still felt his eyes light up.

The girl in front of me is pure, pretty, and a little immature.

Tran turned around. He was different from Chu Lingyun. Today, Benhe was wearing a beautiful white dress. His heart trembled violently.

This is the character in his book, the girl who fits his work perfectly.

"Mr. Trang, how about the heroine I found for you?"

Seeing that Trang was standing there stupidly, Chu Lingyun couldn't help but ask with a smile. Trang didn't hear what Chu Lingyun said at all. His eyes were only on Ben He in front of him.

"Mr. Tran, the boss asked you a question?"

Trang didn't hear it, but Liu Shukui heard it clearly and hurriedly reminded Trang to avoid embarrassing his boss.

"what?"

This time Trump finally reacted and replied immediately.

"The boss asked you, what do you think of the leading actress he found for you?"

"Perfect, absolutely perfect, she is the real Princess Anne."

Tran nodded frantically. He was very excited. No matter what the boss's reason was for letting this girl perform, he would not have any objection.

"As long as you are satisfied, we will find a suitable director and other actors, and start filming the film as soon as possible, and release it at the beginning of the summer vacation."

There are many young boys and girls in the summer season, and they have no resistance to such movies at all.

Chu Lingyun planned to spend 1.5 million US dollars on the filming of the movie, and another 500,000 US dollars on publicity.

Nowadays, movie advertising is just simple posters or newspaper ads, which have limited effects. Since it is a great movie, Chu Lingyun will add more weight to it.

There must be the original posters, but if Ben He’s stills are released, how many people can handle it?

In addition, it is on TV and in newspapers, but they are all Chu Lingyun’s own newspapers.

Ben Her was allowed to appear on TV in advance for an interview program, with some deliberate spoilers.

The second is to edit movies within one minute and play them continuously on TV.

This two-pronged approach allows more people to know about the movie in advance.

Five hundred thousand in advertising fees was definitely not enough, and Chu Lingyun had no plan to increase it. He just wanted the TV station to broadcast it during a cheaper time slot. Good advertisements did not need to be so concerned about time.

The TV station is selling it at a half-price price, since Chu Lingyun can be the boss anyway.

Chu Lingyun had no idea what the final box office would be, but as long as the right director and leading actor were chosen, the box office of this movie would not be low.

Even though it is the 1950s now, many American movies have box office revenues of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

If inflation is taken into account, the prices of these movies will be astronomical in the future.

Trump happily left with Liu Shukui and Ben He.

Benhe is still a little surprised. Today, someone suddenly found her and asked her if she would like to star in a movie with a production cost of two million yuan and be the heroine.

Of course Benhe is willing, but she needs to inform her agent.

The oriental-faced man told her not to worry about it. As long as she agreed to act, her agent would be changed soon. She would then have her own separate agent team and would be taken care of like a first-line star.

Few girls can withstand such temptation, so she followed him in a daze without even verifying Liu Shukui's identity.

Fortunately, Liu Shukui is not a liar, and he dare not have any improper thoughts about her.

This is the person the boss specifically asked for, how could he dare to have any bad thoughts?

But this girl is indeed amazing, and Liu Shukui has great expectations for the first movie personally selected by the boss.

The film's matters were handled by professionals, and Chu Lingyun did not ask about them.

The truth is that he didn't know how to do it. He only remembered the actors and the plot, and didn't even know who the director and screenwriter were. If he hadn't been lucky enough to receive this script this time, he would have definitely missed this movie.

Chu Lingyun continued to read the script. The film company couldn’t just have this one film. They had to make many more in the future.

There was nothing in the following scripts that could make Chu Lingyun's eyes light up.

After reading it, Chu Lingyun himself laughed.

He is lucky to have one movie. He is a little greedy, but greed is normal. He will prepare for those good movies in the future in advance. Even if these scripts don’t become popular or even lose money, he will pick out a few to shoot.

The purpose is simple, to create the appearance that their film company appreciates the screenwriter and is willing to invest.

This will attract more people to come to them in the future.

With Chu Lingyun's special instructions, the film project was quickly approved and the producer and supervisor were all in place.

After meeting Hepburn, Tran specially polished the script again. He wanted to make this movie the best and let this girl win an Oscar.

He is confident that his work will definitely win the award.

Chu Lingyun finally selected five works, and excluding Ben He’s one, there were four left.

Two science fiction films and two comedies.

The science fiction film is a preparation for the future. He will definitely not give up on that big-money series. He will first train the people in his company and then shoot it in the future.

In today's world, American film technology can be said to be top-notch.

Even though the technology is not up to standard, the clarity is not good enough, and there are no computer special effects, the people here are still able to make movies with excellent visuals.

But the investment will definitely be greater.

Five films, with a total investment of six million US dollars.

Apart from Hepburn's, the remaining ones each get one million. These four films did not ask Niu Qiu and Shen Hanwen to invest. "Roman Holiday" will definitely make money, but Chu Lingyun is not very sure about the rest, so it is better for him to do it himself.

Taking them with me is a reward for them.

As a result, Niqiu was unwilling to do so. Shen Hanwen could choose not to participate, but he had to. He would invest another 150,000 yuan in each movie, still accounting for 15% of the investment amount.

Shen Hanwen wanted to do it, but he was not as rich as Loach, so he couldn't do it.

His total assets were just over one million, earned with the help of Loach. If he took out too much, it would be equivalent to giving up his shares in the TV factory. Even if he was willing, Chu Lingyun would not agree.

Shen Hanwen was his absolute confidant. If his absolute confidant couldn't even have food to eat, it would be a sign of his incompetence as a leader.

A few days later, the director was finally chosen and Tran was very satisfied with him.

This director, like his boss, admired and affirmed his script very much. He was willing to shoot the film even if he lowered his requirements. He also believed that Ben He must be Princess Anne and the heroine must be played by Ben He.

More importantly, many of his ideas coincide with Trump's.

Once the director is selected, the rest of the things become much easier. The director himself will form a director team and start selecting other roles. Once all the roles are selected, filming can officially begin.

Chu Lingyun requested the summer season, as their time was very tight and they had to finish the film as soon as possible.

At this time, Chu Lingyun had already arrived in Washington and was having lunch with Katemen.

"It has not been easy for you. I misunderstood you before. It is quite impressive that you have been able to hold out against such a powerful enemy for three years."

Katemen sighed slightly. Although he acknowledged Guo Jun's fighting ability, it did not mean that he forgave Principal Chang.

That kind of betrayal is something few can easily forgive.

"I haven't been to the frontal battlefield, and I really didn't expect them to be so strong."

Chu Lingyun nodded, but laughed in his heart. The organization was indeed very strong, but it was forced out step by step by Guo’s army.

As long as the Guo army continues the blockade, we will have enough food and clothing.

If we were short of weapons and ammunition, we would go to the enemy to get them. We had a very good and responsible transport captain.

Our greatest strength lies in our faith. For the sake of the people, the nation and the country, all Party members are not afraid of hardship or fatigue, nor are they afraid of sacrifice. We are united as one.

Such a team is a mountain that no one can climb.

"Fortunately, they don't have a navy. The British will not give them warships in the future."

"It doesn't matter. You know the relationship between me and the principal. If I really get lost there, I will come to the United States and never go back."

Chu Lingyun chuckled and shook his head. Katemen was actually testing him, just to find out which side he would stay on in the future.

Chu Lingyun said whatever he wanted.

"It should have been done long ago. Don't worry, we can guarantee the safety of your property."

Katemen smiled. He was indeed testing Chu Lingyun, and he knew that Chu Lingyun had understood the meaning of his words, so he began to test him again.

He was talking about us, not me. The underlying meaning of this sentence was, can you continue to support us next year?
It's us, not me. Just one word difference makes a big difference in meaning.

Katemen cannot be re-elected, but their party will continue to campaign. Now it is equivalent to him winning over Chu Lingyun to be the financial sponsor of their party.

"Thank you very much, how much do you need?"

Chu Lingyun nodded slightly. If he couldn't understand this very simple code, he had no right to sit here and have dinner with Katemen.

"It depends on your mood."

Katemen did not take the initiative to tell him the amount. He was an old fox. This was not his own business, so there was no need for him to ask for it.

Moreover, his mission had been completed, changing Chu Lingyun from supporting himself to supporting them.

This means that in the future Chu Lingyun will no longer support their competitors, even if they fail.

In fact, Chu Lingyun had considered this before.

He knows history and can easily choose the right person to support, but that doesn't mean he can maximize his benefits by supporting whoever comes to power.

In the United States, the president is not omnipotent.

He needs to consider the interests of many parties, especially the political parties behind him. Without their support, the president will be rootless and may step down at any time.

Moreover, once these people step down, their influence will be greatly weakened.

It is different when you support a political party. The entire party will stand up for you, protect your industry, and do things that are convenient for you.

Even if the other party's people come to power, they dare not easily touch the financial backers behind the rival party.

They just didn't take this position, not that they have no ability to fight back. If you attack the financial backers behind them, you have to consider whether you can withstand the huge backlash.

What's more, they also have financial backers behind them. If they dare to do this, once the other party comes to power, they can take the same revenge.

The last point is that those who can get financial support are not people with low energy.

"Ten million."

Chu Lingyun gave a number, which was the same as his initial support for Katemen.

Katemen was slightly startled, and immediately raised his glass: "Chu, thank you very much."

"You're welcome."

Chu Lingyun also raised his glass. Election is a big deal. The general election will be held next year. They will not wait until next year to take action. They will greet all the sponsors in advance. The funds must be planned first and then arranged.

Just like Katemen’s election, Chu Lingyun’s funds had to arrive first before they could make the next arrangements.

If things are arranged but the funds are not in place, it is easy to get into big trouble.

Now that their campaign needs more and more funds, Chu Lingyun is willing to continue to provide them with 10 million, which is definitely great news for them.

The lunch was pleasant and the two agreed on the time for the funds to arrive.

This time it will not be given separately but all at once. Once their internal personnel win the election, it will be given to them all at once.

If Chu Lingyun has someone he supports, he can also give it in advance, but it is given to an individual.

Chu Lingyun already knows the result of next year's general election, and Katemen will have no hope.

He could indeed switch sides and support the other side, but by trying to please both sides, he might end up being disliked by people on both sides. If he wants to support someone, he will only support one side.

In the United States, the power of capital is very strong. As long as a person has money, he does not have to worry about others trying to trip him up behind his back.

Moreover, he has now transformed from an individual supporter of Katemen to a supporter of their party, so others dare not move.

Actually, it’s not that bad now. A few tens of millions are enough for the election.

In the future, hundreds of millions, billions, or even tens of billions or even billions may be possible.

This is an extremely expensive entertainment.

Katemen and the people in their party value not only Chu Lingyun's wealth, but also the TV station in Chu Lingyun's hands.

As the most influential TV station, it can help them a lot during elections, and they tasted the sweetness last time with the Kategate incident.

The television audience at that time was far less than it is now.

It can be imagined that television publicity will be very important in the future. Pulling Chu Lingyun into their camp will be of great help in the future.

Ten million is nothing, it's worth the money.

It's like having an extra amulet on your body.

After lunch, Chu Lingyun said goodbye and left. Long Mei was a little angry with him, so he went to comfort her.

In Hong Kong, the New Year atmosphere here is much stronger than in the United States.

Even after the 15th, there is still a bit of the New Year atmosphere.

Xu Zhanli has been learning all the time. He studies very seriously and his skills are no worse than other workers. What's more, he doesn't just learn one skill, but wants to learn all kinds of skills.

He doesn't need to learn it thoroughly, his main purpose is to understand it.

This was not arranged by Mr. Ke, but Xu Zhanli's own initiative. Whether buying or selling things, understanding the products is very important.

Life is about learning. Learning makes people happy and makes people progress.

"Nalan, are you still here?"

A worker returned to the learning workshop and saw Xu Zhanli tinkering with something there, and couldn't help but ask.

This is the third skill Xu Zhanli has learned.

"I came late and didn't listen to the previous part. I need to study more on my own."

Xu Zhanli raised his head, then took his co-worker's notes and fumbled with the test machine in front of him.

Because of the study of the previous two items, he came to this machine more than ten days after it started. He missed so many courses, and they were all the initial basics. He found it difficult to listen later and could not learn at all.

In order to catch up with everyone, he has to work overtime.

"Okay, you learn first. I left something behind, so just pick it up and go."

The worker who came found his things, picked them up and said something with a smile. At this time, Mr. Huo was watching them from a distance.

Xu Zhanli worked very hard, and Mr. Huo saw it all.

The people who are learning now are his workers. The Red Party is temporarily unable to arrange more qualified workers to come over. Let his workers learn first, and then after they have learned it, his workers will teach the people sent by the organization.

This is a little more troublesome, but safer.

The organization has always put safety first.

The war is not over yet, and if the British find out, big trouble could arise at any time.

Mr. Huo did not disturb Xu Zhanli. It was good for Xu Zhanli to learn more. When the Red Party comrades came, if his workers were not able to teach well, Xu Zhanli could teach them instead.

Half a month later, all the training was completed and the British engineers returned home satisfied with their generous remuneration.

The total cost of this purchase was close to two million pounds, most of which was paid in advance by Mr. Huo.

Mr. Huo has done a great job in supporting the organization and the country.

Chu Lingyun also made sacrifices, including when the war was tense in the past two years. He not only withdrew funds, but also sold several companies and factories in South America. He was finally able to keep the country afloat. Everyone had the same thought, hoping that the country would get better and better in the future and become a support for Chinese people all over the world.

Except for those who do not consider themselves Chinese or Chinese.

In South Korea, the war was basically at a stalemate, and the negotiations between the two sides were progressing faster and faster. By the end of March, a preliminary agreement on the exchange of prisoners of war had been reached.

The most unwilling is South Korea. Their losses are so huge that they want to rely on the help of the United States to completely defeat North Korea so that there will be no more threats from North Korea in the future. Unfortunately, they have no ability to do so.

Not to mention them, the United States is no exception.

The United States really can't fight any longer. The losses in this war are enormous. Although they have not released much data to the public, it is obvious to everyone that the United States can no longer bear any more losses.

To put it bluntly, this is not a battle about yourself, it's all about helping others.

They helped others but caused so many deaths of their own people. They have no way of explaining to people in the country.

Especially since the general election is approaching, for the sake of stability, Katemen has issued a death order to end the war this year at all costs.

If it continues into next year, it will be very detrimental to their campaign.

In fact, they themselves know that given the current situation, their campaign is already very unfavorable, and many people are optimistic about their competitors this time.

It is not easy for Chu Lingyun to continue to support them under such circumstances.

After all, Chu Lingyun had not been branded yet, and he was just supporting Katemen personally before.

Now that the brand has been established, Katemen is even more grateful to Chu Lingyun.

In mid-April, Chu Lingyun brought Long Mei to Hollywood.

Benhe and his team have just returned from filming abroad. This time they need to use a lot of foreign scenes, and they have been traveling for a long time.

The film will also be shot in China, but because Chu Lingyun requested that it be released during the summer vacation, their schedule is actually very tight.

"What a beautiful girl."

When Long Mei saw Ben He, his eyes immediately lit up. He was about the same age as Ben He, only a few years older. Ben He was wearing the costume of the filming crew at the time, which made his purity even more prominent.

"Miss Benhe, please come here for a moment."

Liu Shukui was very perceptive. Seeing that Long Mei liked Ben He very much, he immediately called Ben He over. The director and others at the moment also noticed Chu Lingyun and Long Mei. Seeing their boss coming, they all stopped in a hurry.

Trump was there too.

He is the screenwriter. He doesn't have much work to do after the filming, but he values ​​this movie very much and has been with the crew. It's better to have him around. When encountering some scenes that are not easy to handle, the director will consult him. The screenwriter understands the movie, and by asking the screenwriter for advice, they can get the taste they want.

Like the director, he was stunned when he saw Long Mei.

Long Mei is very beautiful, no worse than Ben He. The most important point is that Long Mei has a noble temperament that Ben He does not have.

Girls who grow up in large families learn and are exposed to different things than ordinary girls. This temperament is something that ordinary people can never learn.

Not to mention them, when Long Mei went to Nanjing to meet Chu Lingyun, the eldest master and others were also very shocked.

Long Mei has such a great temperament.

Tran looked at the director, who was also looking at him.

The two of them immediately understood each other's meaning, and they were truly in sync with each other.

Soon the two of them did the same thing again, constantly looking at Benhe and Longmei.

Then he looked at the other person and found that he was also looking at him, and they smiled at each other.

The two of them have exactly the same thoughts. This is also Princess Anne, and she has a better temperament, but Benhe has her strengths and is more pure and lively than Longmei.

One of them wins in temperament, and the other wins in cuteness.

I don’t know where the boss found a suitable actress, it seems that he likes girls like this. The two of them understood each other tacitly, but no one said it out loud.

Long Mei was already chatting with Ben He, asking mostly about movies.

Not long after, Trang and the director had an expression of "as expected". Someone had already spread the word that the person coming behind was the boss's real girlfriend.

Gossip always spreads fast.

Liu Shukui took a few people to the VIP room to rest and let Long Mei and Ben He have a good chat. As for the filming, Ben He didn't want to shoot, so they could shoot other things first. She wanted to shoot after the evening party, so it didn't matter later.

The world is big and the boss is the biggest.

These people were really powerful and soon found out Long Mei's identity.

Chu Lingyun is surrounded by not only Liu Shukui, bodyguards, and service staff, but also Long Mei's nanny, Shen Hanwen and others.

"A lady from the Longme family?"

The director and Tran huddled together and shook their heads slightly. Fortunately, they did not have any improper expectations and let this person play any role.

This is a real lady from a wealthy family, and she is a perfect match for their boss.

Perhaps only a young lady like this is worthy of their boss.

Long Mei and Ben He felt like they had met too late. They chatted for more than an hour before Ben He was allowed to go back to continue filming.

Longmei made an appointment with Benhe that he would definitely attend the premiere of the movie.

The premiere date is scheduled for early June. Judging from the current progress, it is estimated that it may not be completed even if all staff work overtime.

Before leaving, Chu Lingyun specifically announced that the film would be postponed to August, and that there was no need to rush. Even if they had to give up the summer schedule, they had to make the film well.

This is a classic and we cannot ruin it because of our own demands.

Chu Lingyun's postponement was immediately supported by the entire crew, and they were overjoyed by the boss's understanding.

What a good boss. They were worried about the release date before and wanted to schedule the film in the summer. Now they have to rush into it and the quality of the film will definitely be affected.

Now, with two more months, they can prepare more fully and make the film perfect.

South Korea, Seoul.

Chen Zhanli was walking on the street. He looked completely different from when he was in Shanghai. Not only was he much thinner, but he also looked more mature.

He is already in his forties and has not yet started a family.

It can be said that he truly dedicated his youth to the country.

Apart from the time spent studying in Russia, the rest of the time was basically spent in lurking, initially for the Military Control Commission and later for the organization. However, there was one thing in common: they were all for this country.

Chen Zhanli, who is in his forties, looks a little vicissitudes of life.

He knew that the organization was negotiating with the Americans. The Americans did not want to fight, and the organization did not want to fight either. War consumes too many financial and material resources. If it were not for the peace of the country, the organization would not fight this war.

Now the whole world knows how powerful New China is, and the future will at least provide them with a period of peaceful development.

Chen Zhanli knows more.

He collected a lot of intelligence here, including some important intelligence within the US military. After more than two years of planning, he had already reached into some core departments of the US military. With the assistance of forty Japanese agents, he could get new clues every day, so as to sort out the intelligence needed by the organization.

When he was in No. 76, he was commanding traitors.

It does feel a bit strange to directly command the Japanese this time.

Chen Zhanli predicts that the time for peace talks and ceasefire will be in the middle of the year. He is certainly not sure of the specific date, but large-scale battles will be difficult to fight again. However, we still have to guard against the US military's idea of ​​seeking peace through war and be careful of their final surprise attack.

He asked Mr. Ke about his mission after the war.

He would not wait until the end of the war to make a decision, but would make preparations in advance.

Mr. Ke let him make his own decision.

Walking alone on the street and looking at the crowd around him, Chen Zhanli always had the same expression as an ordinary person, like a shrewd man looking for bargains on the street.

Did he return home after the war, or continue to hide?
If he continues to hide, he will be in Tokyo or go to Taipei.

He has to think about all these in advance.

In fact, Chen Zhanli tends to continue to lurk. The Guo Party has not been eliminated yet. If he can return to Taipei and continue to collect intelligence there, he can help the organization take back this island in the future and completely eliminate the Guo Party.

There will be no more hidden dangers in the future.

Although he had not made the final decision, Chen Zhanli understood that what he longed for in his heart was to lurk, just like after the victory, when Mr. Ke asked him what he wanted to do, he said it without hesitation and without thinking.

Lurking is dangerous, but he enjoys this danger and this excitement.

If he continued to lie low, he would need to plan carefully to get back to Taipei. He knew that Zhao San and the Guo Party would not fully trust him after what had happened before. If he returned directly to Taipei, he would not be reused.

He has to take a detour.

He must make them believe that he is valuable and useful, and let them actively recruit him back. Only in this way can he play a greater role and obtain more intelligence in the future.
