Chapter 1082: It's a Pity We Met Too Late

Their tens of millions and millions are all US dollars.

This money can be used anywhere in the world to live a life of worry-free. If you know how to manage money, you will have more and more money in the future.

With Niuqiu's intelligence, he will never do a business that loses money.

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

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

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

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

He knew the movie and the heroine, but he 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 followed the screenwriter's advice, it wouldn't be too bad.

What if it was bad?

The story content of this movie is very good, and it can make back the money even if it is bad. Besides, there are people from the film company reviewing it, and their vision is more professional.

"Hello, Boss Chu."

Trang greeted carefully. In fact, 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 of the same boss as the largest TV station was calling for scripts, he did not hesitate to submit his newly written script. Unexpectedly, the big boss really valued it and had already approved the project for him.

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

"Mr. Trang, 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 to be shot by my company."

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

As for various awards, he won them all.

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

Trang was a little excited. The oriental man in front of him was a billionaire, and he was ranked first among the billionaires.

Such a person said that he appreciated 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, it is the era of rapid development of television sets. I believe that it will not be long before the market value of their TV stations will reach tens of billions.

This is the case with just the TV stations. They have more than one industry in their hands.

The future billionaire, now a tycoon with billions of assets, has taken a fancy to his script and met him in person. This is the greatest affirmation of him.

"Very good, I will arrange for people in the company to cooperate with you and find a suitable director, but I will set a heroine for you. You will be very satisfied when you see her."

Chu Lingyun nodded gently. The heroine is the soul and must not be changed. No matter which company Ben He is in now, he will dig him to his agency for this filming.

"Heroine, do you have a suitable candidate?"

Trang's heart tightened. The most important thing about this script is the actress. If the boss arranges the person he wants to support, it is very likely to ruin the script.

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

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

"Boss."

Just thinking about it, Liu Shukui brought a girl to push the door in. When he saw Ben He for the first time, even though Chu Lingyun had seen many beautiful women in the future, he also felt his eyes light up.

The girl in front of him was pure, beautiful, and a little immature.

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

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

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

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

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

Trang didn't hear it, but Liu Shukui heard it clearly and hurriedly reminded Trang to avoid embarrassment for the boss.

"What?"

This time Trang finally reacted and replied immediately.

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

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

Trang nodded frantically, he was very excited, no matter what the boss wanted this girl to play, he would not have any objection.

"As long as you are satisfied, then find a suitable director and other actors, and start shooting the movie as soon as possible, and release it at the beginning of the summer season."

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

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

Current movie advertising is just a simple poster, or advertising in newspapers, which has limited effect. Since it is a great movie, Chu Lingyun will give it more weight.

There must be a fixed poster. How many people can stand it if Ben He's stills are released?

In addition, there are TV stations and newspapers, but they are all Chu Lingyun's own newspapers.

Let Ben He appear on TV in advance and do an interview program, deliberately making a little spoiler.

The second is to edit the movie within one minute and broadcast it on TV continuously.

Two-pronged approach, let more people know about this movie in advance.

The advertising fee of 500,000 is definitely not enough, Chu Lingyun has no intention of increasing it, just let the TV station broadcast it in a cheap time slot, good advertisements don't need to care so much about time.

The TV station is selling half and giving half, anyway Chu Lingyun can be the boss.

Chu Lingyun doesn't know what the final box office will be, but as long as the director and the male lead are right, the box office of this movie can't be low.

Even though it is the 1950s, some American movies have box office of tens of millions or even tens of millions.

If inflation is calculated, these movies will be astronomical figures in the future.

Trump happily left with Liu Shukui and Ben He.

Ben He is still a little surprised. Today someone suddenly found her and asked her if she is willing to star in a movie with a production cost of two million, and as the heroine.

Ben He is of course willing, but she needs to inform her agent.

The man with an oriental face told her that she didn't need to worry about it. As long as she agreed to act, her agent would change soon. At that time, she would have a separate agent team to take care of her like a first-line star.

Few girls could bear such temptation. She didn't even verify Liu Shukui's identity and followed him in a daze.

Fortunately, Liu Shukui was not a liar, and he didn't dare to have any improper thoughts about her.

This was the person the boss asked for by name, so how could he dare to have any crooked thoughts.

However, this girl was really amazing, and Liu Shukui had great expectations for the first movie selected by the boss himself.

The movie was done by professionals, and Chu Lingyun didn't ask.

He really didn't know how to operate. 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 definitely miss this movie.

Chu Lingyun continued to read the following script. The film company couldn't just have this one, and it would have to shoot many in the future.

There was no one in the following script that could make Chu Lingyun's eyes light up.

After reading it, Chu Lingyun himself laughed.

He was lucky to have one. He was a little greedy, but greed was normal. He would prepare for the good movies in the future in advance. Even if these scripts could not become popular, or even lose money, he would pick a few to shoot.

The purpose was simple, to create the appearance that their film company appreciated the screenwriters and was willing to invest.

Only in this way could they attract more people to come to them actively in the future.

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

After meeting Hepburn, Tran specially polished the script again. This film must be the best, so that this girl can win a little golden man.

He was confident in his work and would definitely win an award.

Chu Lingyun finally selected five works. Excluding the one by Hepburn, there were four left.

Two science fiction films and two comedy films.

The science fiction film was a preparation for the future. He would definitely not give up the series that made a lot of money. He would first train the people in his company and then shoot it in the future.

In the current world, American film technology can be said to be top-notch.

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

But the investment will definitely be greater.

Five movies, a total investment of 6 million US dollars.

Except for Hepburn's, the remaining ones are 1 million each. These four movies did not let Niuqiu and Shen Hanwen invest. "Roman Holiday" will definitely make money. Chu Lingyun is not very sure about the remaining ones, so it is better to do it himself.

Bringing them is a reward for them.

In the end, Niuqiu was unwilling. Shen Hanwen could not participate, but he had to participate. He invested another 150,000 in each movie, still accounting for 15% of the investment amount.

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

His total assets were just over 1 million, and it was Niuqiu who helped him earn it. 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 never agree.

Shen Hanwen was his absolute confidant. If his absolute confidant couldn't even eat, it was his incompetence as a leader.

A few days later, the director was finally chosen, and Trang was very satisfied with this director.

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

More importantly, many of his ideas coincided with Trang's.

After the director was chosen, the rest of the things were much easier. The director formed a director team by himself and began to select other roles. After all the roles were selected, the filming could officially start.

Chu Lingyun asked for the summer season, and their time was very tight, so the movie had to be shot as soon as possible.

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

"It's not easy for you. I wronged you before. It's great that you can persist for three years against such a powerful enemy."

Katemen sighed slightly. He recognized the combat effectiveness of the Guo army, but it didn't mean that he forgave Principal Chang.

Few people can easily forgive that kind of betrayal.

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

Chu Lingyun nodded, but he was laughing in his heart. The organization was indeed very strong, but it was forced out step by step by the Guo army.

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

If there is a lack of weapons and ammunition, we will go to the enemy to get them. We have a very good and responsible transport captain.

Our strongest point is our belief. For the people, the nation, and the country, all party members are not afraid of hardship, fatigue, or sacrifice, and are united.

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 now. If I really lose it, 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 where he would stay in the future.

Chu Lingyun said what he wanted.

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

Katemen smiled. He was indeed testing, and he knew that Chu Lingyun had heard the meaning of his words, so he started the next test.

He said we, not me. The underlying meaning of this sentence is, can you continue to support us next year?

It's us, not me. The difference of one word makes a big difference in meaning.

Katemen cannot be re-elected, but their party will continue to run for election. 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 could not hear this very shallow code, he would not be qualified to sit here and eat with Katemen.

"It depends on your mood."

Katemen did not take the initiative to say the amount. He is an old fox. This time it is not his business, so there is no need to really ask for it.

And his mission has been completed. He changed Chu Lingyun from supporting himself to supporting them.

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

In fact, Chu Lingyun had considered this before.

He knows history and can easily choose the right object to support, but it does not mean that whoever he supports to come to power can maximize the benefits.

In the United States, the president is not omnipotent.

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

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

Supporting a party is different. The entire party stands up for you, protects your industry, and facilitates you.

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

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

Besides, they also have financial backers behind them. If they dare to do so, the other party can take the same revenge once they come to power.

The last point is that there is no one with low energy who can leave the financial backers.

"Ten million."

Chu Lingyun said the number, which was the same as his support for Katemen at the beginning.

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

"You are polite."

Chu Lingyun also raised his glass. Election is a big deal. Next year is the general election. They will not wait until next year to act. They will greet all the financial backers in advance. The funds must be planned first before they can make arrangements.

Just like Katemen's election at the beginning, Chu Lingyun's funds must be received first before they dare to make the next arrangements.

If things are arranged but the funds are not in place, it is easy to cause a big mess.

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

The lunch was very 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. After their internal personnel succeed in the election, they will be given all at once.

If Chu Lingyun has a supporter, he can also give it in advance, but it will be given to individuals.

Chu Lingyun already knows the results of the general election next year, and there will be no hope for Katemen.

He can indeed switch to support the other party, but in this way, he may be disliked by people on both sides in the end. If you want to support, support one side.

In the United States, the power of capital is very strong. As long as he has money, he doesn't have to worry about others tripping him up behind his back.

Moreover, he has now changed from a sole supporter of Katemen to a supporter of their party, and others dare not move.

In fact, it is not bad now. Tens of millions are enough for the election.

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

This is an extremely expensive entertainment.

Katemen and their party members 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 the election, and Katemen tasted the sweetness last time.

At that time, the TV audience was far less than it is now.

It can be imagined that TV 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, the money is worth it.

It is like having an extra amulet on his body.

After lunch, Chu Lingyun said goodbye and left. Long Mei was a little angry with him and wanted to coax him.

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

Even after the fifteenth day, there is still a bit of the New Year atmosphere.

Xu Zhanli has been studying all the time. He studies very seriously. His skills are not worse than other workers. Moreover, he doesn't want to learn just one kind, but to get in touch with every kind.

He doesn't need to learn everything, he just wants to understand.

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

Life is learning, learning makes people happy, and learning makes people progress.

"Nalan, are you still there?"

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

This is already the third technology Xu Zhanli has learned.

"I came late, I didn't listen to it before, I will learn more by myself."

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

Because of the previous two studies, he came here more than ten days after the start of this machine, and he missed so many courses, and they were all the initial foundations. He had a hard time listening to it later and couldn't learn it at all.

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

"Okay, you learn first, I left my things behind, I'll take them and leave."

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

Xu Zhanli worked very hard, and Mr. Huo saw everything.

The people who are learning now are his workers. The Red Party cannot arrange more qualified workers to come over for the time being. Let his workers learn first, and then let his workers teach the people sent by the organization after they learn.

This is a little troublesome, but safer.

The organization always puts safety first.

The war is not over yet. Once discovered by the British, big trouble may arise at any time.

Mr. Huo did not disturb Xu Zhanli. It is good for Xu Zhanli to learn more. When the comrades of the Red Party come over, if his workers are not good at teaching, Xu Zhanli can teach them.

Half a month later, all the training was over, and the British engineers returned with generous remuneration.

This purchase, plus all the expenses are close to two million pounds, most of which were paid by Mr. Huo in advance.

Mr. Huo is really good to the organization and the country.

Chu Lingyun is also paying, including when the war was tense in the past two years, not only did he withdraw funds, but also sold several companies and factories in South America, and finally maintained it. Everyone has the same thoughts, hoping that the country will get better and better in the future and become the support of Chinese people all over the world.

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

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

The most unwilling one is South Korea. Their losses are so great that they want to rely on the help of the United States this time to completely defeat North Korea so that there will be no threat from North Korea in the future. Unfortunately, they have a good plan and they don’t have the ability to do so.

Let alone them, the United States is also not good.

The United States really can’t fight anymore. The losses in this war are huge. Although they don’t release much data to the outside world, it is obvious that everyone knows that the United States can no longer bear more losses.

To put it bluntly, this is not a war about itself, it’s all about helping others.

Helping others but causing so many of their own people to die, they have no way to explain to people at home.

Especially with the general election coming soon, for the sake of stability, Katemen has issued a death order to end the war this year no matter what.

Once it continues to next year, it will be very unfavorable for their election.

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

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

After all, Chu Lingyun had not been branded yet. He had only supported Katemen personally before.

Now that the brand was set, Katemen was more grateful to Chu Lingyun.

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

Benhe and his team had just returned from filming abroad. This time, they needed to use a lot of foreign scenes, and they had been running around for a long time.

They would also film in China. Since Chu Lingyun required the film to be released during the summer vacation, their schedule was actually very tight.

"What a beautiful girl."

Long Mei's eyes lit up immediately when she saw Benhe. He was about the same age as Benhe, only a few years older. Benhe was wearing the costumes of the filming crew at this time, and that purity was more prominent.

"Miss Benhe, please come over."

Liu Shukui was very perceptive. Seeing that Long Mei liked Benhe very much, he immediately saw Benhe calling over. The directors and others at this time also noticed Chu Lingyun and Long Mei. Seeing their big boss coming, they hurriedly stopped.

Trang was also there.

He is a screenwriter. He doesn't have much work after filming, but he values ​​this movie very much and has been with the crew. It's better to have him. When encountering some scenes that are hard to grasp, the director will consult with him. The screenwriter understands this movie and asks the screenwriter to give some ideas, so that they can shoot the desired taste.

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 doesn't have.

Girls who grew up in a big family learn and touch things that are different from ordinary girls. This temperament is simply not learned by ordinary people.

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

Long Mei's temperament is too good.

Trang looked at the director, and the director was also looking at him.

The two immediately understood each other's meaning, and they really understood each other.

Soon the two did the same action again, constantly looking at Ben He and Long Mei.

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

The two have exactly the same thoughts. This is also Princess Anne, and she has a better temperament, but Ben He has her strengths and is more pure and lively than Long Mei.

One of them is better in temperament, and the other is better in cuteness.

I don’t know where the boss found a suitable actor, but he seemed to like this kind of girl. The two of them had a tacit understanding and 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 looked as if they were like this, and someone had already spread the word that the person who came behind was the boss's real girlfriend.

Gossip news 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 shooting, Ben He didn't want to shoot, so she could shoot other things first. She wanted to film at the party, so it wouldn't matter later.

The world is big and the boss is the biggest.

These people are really powerful, and it didn't take long to find out Long Mei's identity.

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

"Miss Longmei family?"

The director and Trang came together and shook their heads slightly. Fortunately, they didn't have any unreasonable thoughts about letting this person star in anything.

This is a serious lady, and she is a perfect match for their boss.

Perhaps only such a young lady can be worthy of their boss.

Long Mei and Ben He met late and chatted for more than an hour before Ben He was let go to continue filming.

Long Mei and Ben He made an appointment, and he would definitely attend the premiere of the movie.

The premiere date is set for early June. Judging from the current progress, it is probably a bit mysterious. Even if everyone works overtime, it may not be completed.

Before leaving, Chu Lingyun specifically announced that the movie's release would be postponed to August. Don't be in such a hurry. Even if you give up the summer schedule, you still have to make the movie.

This is a classic and cannot be ruined by your own demands.

Chu Lingyun's postponement immediately won the support of the entire crew, and they were overjoyed by the boss's reasonableness.

What a good boss. They had a headache before about the schedule. They wanted to start setting the schedule in the summer. They could only rush into it, and the quality of the movie would definitely be affected.

Now, with two more months, they can prepare more fully and make the movie even better.

South Korea, Seoul.

Chen Zhanli was walking on the street. At this time, he was completely different from when he was in Shanghai. Not only had he lost a lot of weight, 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.

Except for the time spent studying in Russia, the rest was basically lurking, initially for military control, and later for organization, but one thing is the same, they are all for this country.

Chen Zhanli, who is in his forties, has a slight sense of vicissitudes of life.

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

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

Chen Zhanli knows better.

He has collected a lot of intelligence here, including some important information within the US military. After more than two years of planning, his hands have reached into some core departments of the US military. With the assistance of forty Japanese agents, he can get new clues to tease out the intelligence the organization needs.

On the 76th, he was commanding traitors.

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

Chen Zhanli predicts that the peace talks will cease in the middle of the year. He certainly cannot determine the specific date. However, it is difficult to start a large-scale battle again. However, it is still necessary to guard against the idea of ​​​​the US military 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. He would have to make preparations in advance.

Ke Gong then let him make his own decision.

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

Will he return to China after the war, or continue to lurk?

If he continues to lurk, he will be in Tokyo or go to Taipei.

He has to think about all this in advance.

In fact, Chen Zhanli prefers to continue lurking. The Fruit 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 Fruit Party.

There will be no hidden dangers in the future.

Although he has not made a final decision, Chen Zhanli understands that what he desires in his heart is still latent, just like what he said without hesitation and thought when Ke Gong asked him what he wanted to do after the victory.

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

If he continues to lurk, he needs to plan carefully to get himself back to Taipei. He understands that neither Zhao San nor Guo Dang will completely trust him in the past. If he returns to Taipei directly, he will not be reused again.

He was going to take a detour.

They must be convinced that he is valuable and useful, and let them take the initiative to recruit him back, so that he can play a greater role and obtain more intelligence in the future.
