Chapter 756 Money Is the Same
Fu Chaming and Bao Xingyu were classmates, but they were classmates in elementary school and their relationship at that time could only be considered average. Back then, when the wealthy family was not as wealthy as it is now, Bao Xingyu, the grandson of the shipping king, could be said to be favored by thousands of people, and it was not something that even the rich could reach.
When the wealthy family began to get rich with the help of development in the mainland, although the Bao family's industry declined somewhat, Bao Xingyu had already gone to the United States to study, while Fu Chaming was left by his grandfather to teach him.
However, when Fu Chaming was young and had a tendency to move closer to his fourth uncle, he met Bao Xingyu again at a party in the circle. He also ran away from home and went to the United States to be supported by Bao Xingyu for a while. In addition, the two were classmates in elementary school, so their relationship quickly developed and they became friends.
"I've been back for a while, but I've been in Hong Kong. You, a busy person, have been flying in the mainland and you can't see me." Bao Xingyu said with a smile.
"How long will you stay here this time?" Fu Chaming asked.
"It's not confirmed yet, but my mother wants me to take care of the business in China. The mainland has been developing rapidly in recent years, but the profits of our family's business in the mainland have been declining day by day, so my mother wants me to take over. Come here and give it a try, it doesn’t matter if you lose or make a profit, you can let me join the group and get familiar with the company.”
"It's time for you to work. It's time for a man in his thirties to wander around all day long."
"Why do you have to make yourself so tired when you have the capital to live a happy life?" Bao Xingyu shrugged.
"If you keep wandering around, be careful Auntie will beat you up." Fu Chaming smiled and punched Bao Xingyu. The current Bao Xingyu was very similar to his former self, or even more dissolute than his former self.
In the past, Fu Chaming was just rebellious. Except for his infatuation when getting married, everything else was quite satisfactory. After all, when the old man in the family becomes serious, his father and several uncles are afraid of him, let alone him.
Bao Xingyu grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. Even after the death of his grandfather and poor management of the family's property, he still had wealth that others could not possess in several lifetimes.
Take the current wealthy families as an example. They seem to have a great reputation and are called Hong Kong's new wealthy families, but compared to the Bao family, they are far behind in terms of assets, connections, and foundation. Therefore, Bao Xingyu has never been under any pressure since he was a child, and naturally he can't say that he strives for anything.
"So I'm afraid of being beaten, so I'm back to prepare for work, right?" Bao Xingyu joked to himself, seeing Li Jiaxin who was still standing aside: "This is the spokesperson you are looking for."
"Did you break it up with your beautiful American girl after you returned to China, or did you go back to China after the breakup?" Fu Chaming looked at Bao Xingyu.
"Deliberately tearing me down." Bao Xingyu punched Fu Chaming in the chest: "Okay, you can help me. There are so many customers today. If my transaction volume is less today, I can't compensate you." Come on, I just looked at the minimum price of hundreds of thousands."
"Okay, I'll be busy first. Let's have dinner together in the evening." Fu Chaming nodded, then looked back and forth between Bao Xingyu and Li Jiaxin: "Don't disturb my employees' normal work."
"Fuck you, leave quickly." Bao Xingyu pushed Fu Chaming.
"Um... Mr. Bao, boss, I'll go over there first." Li Jiaxin, who had been standing silently, leaned over quickly and left before Fu Chaming could leave.
"Are all our Hong Kong actresses so unique now?" Bao Xingyu looked at Michelle Lee leaving and touched his chin. His face was not angry, but showed an expression of interest.
"If you like it, you can't chase it but don't mess around." Fu Chaming said.
"Your boss is very protective of his employees." Bao Xingyu said, but then he realized something: "Do you have a background?"
"I can't say, but the entertainment industry now is a little different from the past, and the people in the circle are also a little different." Fu Chaming said.
"No matter how different it is, the money is still the same?" A mocking smile appeared on Bao Xingyu's lips.
Fu Chaming's expression paused, but he patted Bao Xingyu on the shoulder without saying anything. During this time, he had already seen that there was nothing between Yang Dongxu and Li Jiaxin.
However, he didn't feel that he was losing money by asking Li Jiaxin to endorse his jewelry. Instead, he made a fortune after Dark Horse Prince became popular.
Bao Xingyu is his friend and has the capital to say "money is the same". Yang Dongxu and Li Jiaxin are at best acquaintances, not even friends.
As a person in the industry, a rich young man is willing to spend money to smash the celebrity. If the star is smashed, it is his own choice. If he is smashed, it is his own choice. He didn't want to turn himself into a pimp, so he let the matter take its course.
Yang Dongxu has some relationship with the Bao family, and now the youngest daughter of the Bao family is making Huaxiu in full swing. Even if there is a small conflict with Li Jiaxin, it probably won't cause any big trouble. There is no reason for him to be a bad person now.
After strolling around the exhibition hall, the sparkling jewelry lost its allure for Yang Dongxu. They say that people want what they want. Jewelry, diamonds, etc. are obviously not what he lacks.
Except for the beautiful designs of some jewelry that caught his eye and attracted him, the jewelry itself was actually not a big deal to him. After all, the underground treasure house of the Grand Courtyard is filled with all kinds of treasures, many of which are not only priceless but also have historical heritage. If you see a lot of these things and own a lot, you will naturally lose interest. .
So after strolling around, he left the jewelry exhibition hall and went to the self-service table next to it to pick something to eat. In order to serve his first batch of guests with status and purchasing power, Fu Chaming can be said to have spent a lot of money.
Not only did he take advantage of the opening of the Jinmao Tower to build an exhibition hall, but the buffet also gave people the feeling of eating a big meal. In addition to some pastries that looked very expensive, there were caviar, steak, foie gras and other things to eat at will. It was simply too luxurious.
In recent years, Yang Dongxu has also eaten a lot of Western cuisine, but the taste of caviar is fresh and ok to eat once in a while, but it is a bit greasy to eat it often and can't stand the taste.
So everyone looks very high-end. He excluded the way of choosing meals by holding a tray and putting a little caviar in his hand, and then picked more meat and some dishes according to his own taste, and got a big lobster. Then he found an empty seat and sat down to eat by himself.
"Hey, Young Master Yang, you are here too?" A surprised voice sounded, and Yang Dongxu turned his head and found that it was Ruby Lin and was also stunned.
"It seems that the owner of the exhibition here has invested a lot of money to invite you to the stage." Yang Dongxu couldn't help but say with a smile.
"It's not as big as you say. I just had a commercial performance in Shanghai. After it ended, I heard that there was a good jewelry exhibition here, so I came to take a look." Ruby Lin spoke softly and nicely, standing opposite Yang Dongxu a little embarrassed.
"Sit down, why are you standing? But if you want to eat, go get it yourself. I only have my own food." Yang Dongxu said half-jokingly.
He had no opinion on whether the stars of Haina came to support Fu Chaming, whether they were paid or voluntarily. After all, everyone has their own social circle, especially the social circle of stars is more complicated and wider.
Fu Chaming's uncle is a shareholder of Haina Entertainment. Although he has now retired behind the scenes and does not ask about things, he is still a shareholder. As one of the most popular representatives of newcomers promoted by Haina in the past two years, it is normal for Ruby Lin to come to Fu Chaming to increase his popularity when he is doing a jewelry exhibition.
"No, I just ate some pastries and I'm not hungry now. Young Master Yang is also interested in jewelry?" Ruby Lin suppressed her inner joy and sat opposite Yang Dongxu.
She still clearly remembered that when she first met her boss, a group of actors in her crew were all in disbelief. They never thought that the boss of Haina was such a young man who looked about the same age as themselves.
At first they thought it was the son of the boss, but later they found out that it was really the boss. The shock in their hearts can be imagined.
However, she was also very fortunate to meet her boss when she received the invitation of "Super Winner". Although there has been no much contact since they met, it is obviously a hidden opportunity. For example, didn't they meet by chance today?
"How is the recent filming?" Yang Dongxu asked casually.
"I'm filming the movie "Big Winner". The new drama I just took on will probably not be released until the end of the year or the beginning of next year." Ruby Lin said.
To be honest, she has felt like she is dreaming in the past two years. Although she was considered a star before, and was an artist under Qiong Yao and was well-known in Hong Kong and Taiwan, she was just a rising young actress, with no fame or works to show off.
But since she was accepted by Haina Entertainment from Qiong Yao to shoot Huanzhu Gege, she became popular overnight. After the second part was released this year, it dominated the ratings of all channels.
She never dreamed that in just over a year or less than two years, she went from a small star who needed to work hard to get a role and could only be a third-year star to a big star who was so busy that she would even greet superstars warmly when they met. And all this is undoubtedly related to the man sitting in front of him.
"Shoot well!" Yang Dongxu thought about it for a while, and said with a smile without any memory of this play.
Haina's products must be high-quality. At present, Haina Entertainment can be said to be the conscientious quality guarantee in the industry. Since it started to get involved in TV dramas and movies, it has never disappointed the audience, even the records it released are the same.
But this does not mean that artists under Haina will not make bad movies. A movie is a big hit, and then they take advantage of the popularity to make more movies to make money. This is a method used by entertainment companies. Haina is naturally no exception. After all, even Yang Dongxu will not go against money, right?
What he has to do is to let the actors under his company shoot movies normally, and not take some movies they don’t want to take because of external pressure.
After having a popular work, whether to make money while taking advantage of the popularity, or to stick to the original intention and carefully select the script to polish the role, create one classic after another, and use time to settle the last soaring sky. These choices may be tempted by the agent, but they are signed by the actors themselves.
So far, no agent has dared to force Haina’s artists to sign, so you can’t stop them from making money, otherwise you will become a bad guy who is not pleasing to both sides.
