Chapter 624: 507 Institute Asked Me to Invest in a Movie

Friday, July 8th.

Director Wang Sumei and a group of mainland experts and students gathered in Shenzhen, and took the train to Hong Kong Island, carrying their passports.

Afterwards, we were transported by double-decker buses to the Peace Vocational Training College in Central, Hong Kong Island.

"The person standing in the front seems to be Teacher Zhang in the teaching video!"

"Which one? Which one?"

"It's the guy in the front wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and shorts!"

"Teacher Zhang is so young! I heard that he is not only a good doctor, but also the richest man in Hong Kong Island!"

"If he were my husband, I would wake up laughing even when I was asleep!"

"Wake up! Look at the beautiful woman next to Teacher Zhang, and then look at yourself!"

Several female nurses who had just come from the mainland gathered together, chattering and watching the two leaders shaking hands in front of them, paying particular attention to Zhang Heping who was standing in the C position.

"Stand still, everyone. Save your words for later. Don't let outsiders laugh at us!" The older female nurse reminded them in a low voice, and only then did these young female nurses who were in love calm down a little.

The group of female nurses had just been quiet for a short while when they saw an acquaintance, which made them excitedly greet them again.

"Sister Wang!"

"Dr. Chen!"

"Dongmei, we are here!"

"Let's go! I'll take you to the Peace Hotel to check in first." Dr. Chen, director of the Department of Gastroenterology at Capital University Hospital, said, pointing to Building D with his right hand.

On the outer wall of the building, there were four big characters: Peace Hotel.

Vice President Liu of Capital University Hospital, who had just shaken hands with Zhang Heping, President Lu and others, asked quietly, "Director Chen, didn't you say before that we were living in a single room in an apartment building? Why are you asking us to stay in a hotel?"

As Dr. Chen led the way, he smiled and said to the new old colleagues: "Heping Hospital has recruited a lot of medical staff in the past two years. We have to wait until our medical staff return home before there will be vacant apartments for you to live in."

What Dr. Chen did not say was that these medical staff who arrived earlier had bought a lot of belongings in the apartment. Some wanted to take the things back home, while others wanted to sell them at a discount to the new medical staff.

A middle-aged female nurse asked with a hint of concern: "Director Chen, how long will we stay in the hotel? Will the food and lodging expenses be reimbursed?"

"Don't worry about the cost!" Doctor Chen said to the new medical staff next to him, "The food and accommodation here will be covered by Heping Hospital. As for your salary, work arrangements, etc., Director Lu will tell you in detail in the hospital's conference room later."

"Director Chen, the hospital here really needs to pay us a salary!"

...

Under the introduction of Director Wang, Zhang Heping, his concubine Chen Shuting and relevant management personnel of the Heping Group had a brief acquaintance with the team leaders from the mainland, and then arranged for someone to take these new experts and students to find accommodation.

After the welcoming team including Zhang Heping dispersed, he said to the current president of Heping Hospital, "President Lu, please inspect Vice President Liu of Capital University Hospital. If there is no problem, let him take over the position of president of Heping Hospital, so that we don't have to change the president again next year."

The mainland sent three vice presidents this time, from hospitals in the capital, Shanghai, and Huadu. Among them was Vice President Liu from the Capital University Hospital, whom Zhang Heping had met before and had had two drinks with.

In addition, since Zhang Nan and Zhang Nian were studying at Capital University, Zhang Heping directly skipped the two deputy deans in the second batch of medical staff.

Dean Lu originally wanted to recommend Vice Dean Shi of Xuanwu Hospital, but when he heard that Zhang Heping did not want to change the dean next year, he gave up the idea of ​​recommendation. After all, this hospital was opened by Zhang Heping!

The crowd dispersed, and there was still a middle-aged man following Director Wang.

Wang Sumei saw Zhang Heping looking at the person behind her and explained with a smile, "Heping, this is Director Hou from the 507th Institute. He is here to discuss the research cooperation on the human body with you on behalf of the 507th Institute."

"Hello, Mr. Zhang!" The middle-aged official Hou, wearing a white shirt and gray trousers, hurriedly extended his hand to Zhang Heping.

Zhang Heping shook hands with the other party and frowned, saying, "I have told the people in your institute before that unless you can produce a real and effective research report, I will not cooperate with you, let alone accept you to do research on me."

Secretary Hou raised the briefcase in his left hand and said confidently, "Mr. Zhang, I brought some materials and videotapes this time. After you finish watching them, we can talk about cooperation. What do you think?"

Because Zhang Heping knows Qigong and has reached the level of Grand Master (3%), he has paid attention to the research of Institute 507.

But they never found the second qigong practitioner, so Zhang Heping ignored them and regarded the mainland's human science research as a supernatural competition between the mainland and the United States, just like the Star Wars plan initiated by the United States, which was purely a smokescreen.

Secretary Hou followed Zhang Heping to the general manager's office of Heping Group. It was not until Zhang Heping asked Wang Sumei and Chen Shuting to leave that Secretary Hou took out a bulging leather document bag and said, "Mr. Zhang, please take a look!"

Zhang Heping was a little unhappy when this guy asked Wang Sumei and Chen Shuting to leave on the grounds of confidentiality, but he suppressed his patience because he knew that there were some secrets hidden in the mainland, such as the secret base under Sanxingdui in Western Shu.

However, when Zhang Heping opened the leather document bag and took out a so-called hard qigong research report and a stack of relevant data on soldiers practicing hard qigong, he lost interest.

Snapped!

Zhang Heping threw the information in his hand on the desk and said indifferently: "The content of the video tape is a video of those soldiers practicing hard qigong?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang!" Secretary Hou said excitedly, "After half a year of training, these soldiers' ability to withstand blows has been significantly improved, proving that hard qigong really exists!"

"This is called resistance training, not hard qigong practice!" Zhang Heping stood up impatiently, "I still say that if you can't come up with substantive research, don't bother me!"

"Mr. Zhang, please wait a moment!" Seeing Zhang Heping walking towards the office door, Secretary Hou hurriedly took out a cowhide file bag.

However, this file bag is very thin, as if there is nothing in it.

Secretary Hou handed the file bag to Zhang Heping and added: "Our director said that if you still don't believe in our research, we can only ask you to help promote human science abroad!"

Zhang Heping took out only one piece of paper from the leather briefcase. After he took a look at it, he was stunned for a moment.

"Use your ears to listen to the dice, use your clairvoyance to see your opponent's cards, use your special abilities to change cards..." Zhang Heping pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I can find someone to shoot a movie about this. It will be a commercial activity and has nothing to do with your human body research."

Secretary Hou happily reached out his hand and shook Zhang Heping's right hand again, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang. If you need technical guidance, you can contact us at any time. Our phone number is on the paper!"

This incident made Zhang Heping even more convinced that the human science research led by Mr. Qian was a smokescreen, just like the seawater refinery he had launched, all in an attempt to attract foreigners to invest money in research in this area.

In addition, Zhang Heping also thought of the God of Gamblers, The Gambler, and The Saint of Gamblers series of special ability movies in his previous life, wondering if they were promoted by 507.

"No need to contact them!" Zhang Heping raised his chin towards the desk, "Pack your things, I'll take you to the director to decide on the script and filming schedule, and you'll be the technical director of the crew."

Secretary Hou didn't expect that Zhang Heping would schedule a movie shoot today, so he quickly packed up his things and went out with Zhang Heping.

Zhang Heping left the office and said to Chen Shuting and Director Wang, who looked puzzled, "You are so mysterious, but it turns out you are here to ask me to invest in a movie!"

"It just so happens that Tingmei Trading is going to change a batch of advertisements, so we can just embed the advertisements into the movie and let Director Wang shoot a few fast-food entertainment movies."

Chen Shuting's doubts were mostly gone, and she asked, "Husband, are you going to look for Fatty Wang now?"

Because Director Wang played the role of Fatty Wang in the movie Ghost Blows Out the Light, and he himself is fat, people are used to calling him Fatty Wang.

"Okay! You call the finance department, and I'll call Director Wang to the cafe next door to briefly talk about the script." As Zhang Heping said this, he walked to the female secretary next to him and asked her to get him a notebook and a pen, obviously preparing to write a movie script on the spot.

When Director Wang Sumei saw Secretary Hou coming out, she gave him an inquiring look. When she saw Secretary Hou smile and nod, she knew that his work was done and the task assigned by Mr. Hua was completed.

"Hey!"

While waiting for the elevator, Zhang Heping had already picked up his phone to contact director Wang Pangzi.

This guy has already finished filming the third part of Ghost Blows Out the Light. He is currently editing the movie and dubbing and composing the music for the movie, so he has a lot of free time.

Just as Zhang Heping and his group of five walked out of the Economic and Trade Building, Fatty Wang came running over from the Media Building with Manager Qu from ATV.

The two of them ran into the cafe on the second floor of the restaurant building, panting, and greeted Zhang Heping and Chen Shuting.

"Please sit anywhere and have some coffee first!" Zhang Heping was writing the script for the movie God of Gamblers. He just tilted his head towards Secretary Hou and briefly introduced him.

Seeing that Zhang Heping was busy, Chen Shuting asked the financial manager to settle the accounts with Director Wang.

"Fatty Wang, the box office for Ghost Blows Out the Light Part 2 is basically confirmed. If other people want to watch it, they will have to rent pirated discs. Will you distribute the dividends now or wait until the end of the year?" The female financial manager had obviously also seen Ghost Blows Out the Light, so she didn't call Director Wang.

Director Wang glanced at Manager Qu, then smiled at Chen Shuting and the female financial officer, "Mr. Chen! Manager Lin, we would like to try scheduling films in cinemas in other countries and wait for the dividends at the end of the year!"

Because the box office dividends Zhang Heping gave them were given in a step-by-step manner, that is, the higher the box office, the higher the dividend ratio, and naturally the more money they got.

As of the end of July, the total box office revenue of "Ghost Blows Out the Light Part 7" reached 2 million magnesium yuan. After deducting the film production cost of 3500 million magnesium yuan and the publicity and scheduling costs of 1800 million magnesium yuan, the profit was only 700 million magnesium yuan, which is much less than the revenue of "Ghost Blows Out the Light Part 1000".

The female financial manager surnamed Lin looked at Chen Shuting, who nodded indifferently and postponed the settlement of the account until after the New Year.

As soon as the discussion here was finished, Zhang Heping tore off a few pages of paper with pictures on them.

"I'll give you a week. Can you shoot this movie?" Zhang Heping handed the script of "God of Gamblers" to Director Wang and started writing the script of "God of Gamblers 2".

Zhang Heping was copying the script from his previous life while distractedly saying, "All product placements are noted, and the filming funds will be paid from the advertising expenses of Tingmei Trading Company."

"In addition, this Mr. Hou will serve as a technical instructor and will follow the crew during the filming. You will be responsible for his food and accommodation."

Hospitals, casinos, villas, slums, beaches...

Director Wang only glanced at a few scenes in the script and said confidently, "Boss, we can shoot in a week, but it may take two more days to select the actors."

"Save your time on the unspoken rules!" Zhang Heping was too lazy to bargain with him and directly pointed out Fatty Wang's little thoughts.

"Haha!" Director Wang smiled awkwardly, picked up the script again, read it carefully, and kept screening out the stars he knew in his mind.

However, in the movie script, the name of the protagonist Gao Jin is already noted behind the name of the protagonist Zhou Runfa in Shanghai; the other female supporting roles are only required to be young and beautiful, so the range of choices is not large.

After Director Wang read the script carefully, he said again, "Boss, I will start selecting people and signing contracts today, find a location tomorrow, and start shooting the day after tomorrow. I will try to finish it in 6 days. Do you want me to give it to you for review after you finish editing it?"

"No need!" Zhang Heping said indifferently: "You can review it with Mr. Hou. Just don't cut out the embedded ads."

When Director Wang heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the middle-aged man wearing a white shirt and rolled up long sleeves, who was obviously from the mainland.

"This is the second part of God of Gamblers. Please improve or modify it yourself!" Zhang Heping tore off a few pages from his notebook. "If you do a good job, I can write a few similar movie scripts for you. It just so happens that you have some free time recently!"

Director Wang had already seen Zhang Da Shoufu's scriptwriting skills, so he was not surprised by his writing speed. He only cared about his own time. "Boss, how many days will it take to shoot the second part of God of Gamblers?"

"You decide for yourself!" Zhang Heping put the pen into his notebook and handed it to the female financial manager beside him. "One month after the release of the first God of Gamblers movie, the second movie must be released."

When Fatty Wang heard about the relaxed schedule, he immediately stood up and patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, boss. I will not sleep these few days to ensure that I complete the filming of God of Gamblers Part 1!"

Zhang Heping nodded, then looked at Qu Zhouping who was looking uneasy.

The Zhang family did not go to watch the Super Girl finals this year, so those Hong Kong celebrities left as soon as the show started, which was a big blow to the head of ATV.

The key point is that he tried to visit Zhang Heping many times afterwards, but failed every time.

Even though he was guarding the Heping Hospital and the Economic and Trade Building, the bodyguards did not let him get close to Zhang Heping. This made Qu Zhouping reflect on what he had done wrong.

After being stared at by Zhang Heping for two seconds, Qu Zhouping immediately stood up and bowed his head to apologize, "Boss, I was wrong! I shouldn't have used your name to attract other people to watch Super Girl. I won't dare to do it again!"

Zhang Heping said without comment: "You take Mr. Hou to shoot the movie, and his related expenses will be included in the cost of the movie."

"Yes, boss!"

Zhang Heping used the word "you" instead of specifically referring to Fatty Wang, which made Qu Zhouping very excited. He knew that he had passed this hurdle and his position as manager was saved!

Zhang Heping turned to look at Secretary Hou, "Mr. Hou, if you need anything, just tell them directly."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Heping stood up and led his people away.

Institute 507 wanted Zhang Heping to make a movie to promote his special abilities, but they didn't give him a penny, only a letter.

Zhang Heping doesn't care about money!

But as for the time invested in the supernatural movie, Zhang Heping can only give them enough time to drink a cup of coffee.

Because his time is valuable!

Director Wang saw that Secretary Hou was a little confused, probably because she didn't expect the movie to go so smoothly. So she smiled and told him to call her if he had any questions, and then walked towards the stairs.

"Heping!" Director Wang caught up with Zhang Heping and his wife and said with a smile, "I went to Wucheng Iron and Steel Plant a few days ago. Your father's comrade-in-arms Huang Xuemin found me and gave me a stock offering plan."

"He also asked me to ask you and your business partners if you are interested in investing in Beihu Province."
