Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 825: Opportunity to Make Money

In the blink of an eye, Lu Shaohua thought about a lot of things about the filming of "Comedy No. 5". Originally, Lu Shaohua called a halt to the filming because Chiyo Andong had only been in Hong Kong for a short time and her acting skills might not be mature yet. Lu Shaohua didn't want Chiyo Andong to get involved so early, so he called a halt to the filming.

Three or four months have passed. With Chiyoko Anteng's intelligence and talent, it seems that she has learned a lot during this period. In this case, why not let Chiyoko Anteng participate and grow through practice.

This is also the reason why Lu Shaohua agreed to Xiang Huaqiang that the filming of the movie can start. Also, it is already late. After all, the release date of the movie will also affect the box office performance. If it starts shooting now and is completed in a month or two, and then the post-production such as editing and coordination is completed, it will take two or three months to complete. In this way, it can be released in time for the summer vacation.

The summer vacation schedule is a good time. If it is released at that time, many students can go to the theater to watch Phone Call. If it is released on a Sunday, it will be even more perfect. Those who work can also watch it together, which will definitely increase the box office.

Of course, all this is just Lu Shaohua's idea. As for whether Xiang Huaqiang will arrange a date for the performance, Lu Shaohua doesn't know. However, Lu Shaohua believes that with Xiang Huaqiang's cleverness, he will not let a good movie be shown at garbage time.

Knowing Xiang Huaqiang's cleverness, Lu Shaohua did not remind him. Instead, after agreeing to start filming, he called Chen Darong and asked him to allocate funds to prepare to cooperate with China Star to start filming "Comedy No. 5".

"Are you satisfied?" Lu Shaohua asked with a smile.

Lu Shaohua knew that Xiang Huaqiang was very anxious. It could be said that Xiang Huaqiang regarded "Comedy No. 5" as a top priority. Lu Shaohua also saw it. When he finished calling Chen Darong, Xiang Huaqiang's face was obviously relaxed, and at the same time, his face was full of joy.

"Satisfied, haha, satisfied." Xiang Huaqiang answered while laughing.

Xiang Huaqiang was really happy because Lu Shaohua agreed to start filming, which gave his company some stability. More importantly, Xiang Huaqiang didn't know why Lu Shaohua suddenly called a halt at that time, which made Xiang Huaqiang very anxious, as he thought Lu Shaohua had other reasons.

In the Hong Kong film circle, everyone knows that any film that the chairman of Phoenix Group is optimistic about must be a good film. If he only picks one, then that one film will definitely be the box office champion. If he picks two or three, then there will be three fewer places in the top ten box office, and the champion spot will also be lost.

This is a law, although there is no trace to be found, but time has witnessed everything, proving that Lu Shaohua's vision is absolutely first-class, and Xiang Huaqiang is also convinced. And for Xiang Huaqiang, if Lu Shaohua suddenly stopped the filming and let the film "The King of Comedy" fail, how much of a pity it would be.

Xiang Huaqiang is like this. In addition to being loyal, he also keeps his word. Since he said that he would cooperate with Lu Shaohua in "The King of Comedy", then he will definitely cooperate with Lu Shaohua. If Lu Shaohua doesn't want to shoot the film, then he will not shoot it alone.

Now, Xiang Huaqiang doesn't have to worry so much. The doubts have been dispelled. Xiang Huaqiang feels relaxed and cheerful. "Let's go out for dinner."

Xiang Huaqiang's meaning was very clear. He was going to treat Lu Shaohua and invite him out for dinner.

However, looking at Lu Shaohua, he had a helpless look on his face. It was because Lu Shaohua had specially looked at the time and found that it was only ten o'clock in the morning and there were still two hours before lunchtime. It was nonsense for Xiang Huaqiang to ask him to have lunch now.

"Uncle Xiang, it's only ten o'clock now, should we have breakfast or lunch?" Lu Shaohua smiled and said, "Besides, why don't you take a look at the documents on my desk? There are so many of them. How can I get away from them?"

It has to be said that Lu Shaohua's time is very precious. There are endless documents to deal with every day, and there are many things that require Lu Shaohua to consider seriously. How can he leave work two hours earlier to eat?

"Ha ha……"

Xiang Huaqiang laughed, looked in the direction of the desk, and said nothing more. "Then you go about your business. I'll go downstairs and take a look at your Phoenix Entertainment. I'll come back to call you when the time comes. Anyway, I have nothing to do when I return to the company."

Xiang Huaqiang was determined to treat us and waited for two hours, but was that really the case? In fact, Xiang Huaqiang was in a good mood, but he also came here to learn.

Phoenix Group is well-known in Hong Kong, and the working atmosphere of Phoenix Group is one of the best in Hong Kong, and even in the world. As the boss of China Star Film Company, Xiang Huaqiang not only needs to have a keen eye, but also needs to learn how to manage the company.

Now that the opportunity was before him, how could Xiang Huaqiang let it go? He would go to visit and learn for two hours, and then come back to have lunch with Lu Shaohua at noon. It would be a win-win situation.

What else could Lu Shaohua say but to agree. "Well, drink the tea, and I'll ask someone to come up and show it around."

While Lu Shaohua and Xiang Huaqiang were talking, the secretary outside the door had already brought in two cups of tea. However, the two of them were so busy chatting that they had no time to pay attention to the tea. Now the tea had cooled down and could be drunk.

Treating people to tea is a matter of etiquette in the Chaoshan area. Lu Shaohua is from Chaoshan, and Xiang Huaqiang is also from Chaoshan. Naturally, this etiquette cannot be abolished. This is why Lu Shaohua invited Xiang Huaqiang to tea when he was about to leave.

……

After Xiang Huaqiang left, Chen Darong took him to visit Phoenix Entertainment. After Xiang Huaqiang left, Lu Shaohua returned to work again. He worked very hard and immersed himself in the pile of documents.

Unconsciously, time passed quickly. Two hours, oh, no, not two hours, about an hour and a half, Xiang Huaqiang came back again. This time he came back just like last time, knocking on the door before coming in, but this time Xiang Huaqiang didn't speak loudly, but spoke in a medium tone after entering the door. "It's time for dinner, and I've also booked a private room. Can we leave?"

It was half past eleven, and it was indeed possible to go out for lunch, but there was no other way, as all the employees of the Phoenix Group had already gotten off work. Some people who wanted to have a work lunch gathered in the restaurant, while some who wanted to go home or eat out left the Phoenix Building.

It was also because the employees of Phoenix Group had gone off work that Chen Darong had also gone off work. Although he was entertaining Xiang Huaqiang and did not say anything, Xiang Huaqiang was not an ignorant person. Seeing that all the employees had gone off work, he naturally could not let Chen Darong accompany them all the time.

More importantly, the employees of Phoenix Group have gone off work, so there is no need for Xiang Huaqiang to visit anymore. The main reason why Xiang Huaqiang came to visit Phoenix Group was to learn about the working atmosphere of Phoenix Group. Now there is not a single employee left, and he has nothing to look at.

Therefore, Xiang Huaqiang bid farewell to Chen Darong and went up to the 29th floor of Phoenix Building alone to find the office where Lu Shaohua was currently.

This time, Lu Shaohua was not as involved as last time. After hearing the knock on the door, he raised his head and kept looking in the direction of the door. When Xiang Huaqiang came in, Lu Shaohua noticed him.

When Xiang Huaqiang spoke, Lu Shaohua smiled and nodded, tidied up the office roughly, stood up and said, "Let's go eat."

Lu Shaohua is a big shot in Hong Kong. When he appears in the public eye, many people know him, which naturally attracts attention. Xiang Huaqiang is not bad either. After all, he is the boss of China Star Film Company. It is conceivable what effect the two of them will have when they stay together.

Fortunately, the car could be driven to the entrance of the hotel. The distance from the hotel to the elevator entrance was not too far, so it quickly disappeared from the public's sight and there would not be too much disturbance.

Xiang Huaqiang had already booked a private room in a five-star hotel not far from the Phoenix Building. Lu Shaohua and his group did not need anyone to lead the way and went straight to the room as if they were familiar with the place.

There was no way. There was only one five-star hotel near the Phoenix Building. Lu Shaohua was very familiar with this place and he would book a top-level private room every time he came. However, there were only a few top-level private rooms in this hotel and usually no one used them. What's more, Xiang Huaqiang had already made a reservation, so there was nothing wrong with entering the room by himself.

Xiang Huaqiang knew Lu Shaohua's character and knew that Lu Shaohua never treated his bodyguards badly when he went out to eat, so when booking the private rooms, Xiang Huaqiang specially booked four private rooms for the bodyguards around Lu Shaohua and his bodyguards to eat.

It's strange to say, in Hong Kong, bodyguards originally had no status, but because of Lu Shaohua, everyone who was familiar with Lu Shaohua was influenced by him and gave status to the bodyguards around them.

This is the case with Xiang Huaqiang, Li Jiacheng, and even more so with Henry Fok. Even several senior executives in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce are like this. When they go out to eat, they always ask their bodyguards to follow them and enjoy the same standard.

In the bodyguard circle, many people respect Lu Shaohua because Lu Shaohua has influenced many wealthy people, raising their status so that they can follow their bosses to enjoy high-end services in high-end hotels.

Although this is nothing, just a meal, but people are so strange that they attribute all this to Lu Shaohua. It is normal for them to be grateful to Lu Shaohua deep in their hearts.

Lu Shaohua naturally didn’t know that the bodyguards would feel grateful. Well, even if Lu Shaohua knew, he wouldn’t say too much. After all, it was not a big deal.

After sitting down and calling the waiter to order food, Lu Shaohua looked at Xiang Huaqiang and said mysteriously, "Uncle Xiang, there is an opportunity to make money right now, do you want to do it?"

"Oh?" Xiang Hua frowned, then suddenly became interested and asked. "Tell me, what opportunity is it?"

Who doesn't like making money? Lu Shaohua likes it, and Xiang Huaqiang is not an immortal, so naturally he is interested in it.
