Chapter 401

On the fund fundraising side, it was a sea of people, lively and extraordinary, while Director Guan Zu arrived at ATV.

ATV.

Director Guan Zu's office.

The TV director brought three people to Director Guan Zu's office.

"Boss, these three are Mr. Jin Chaoqun, Mr. He Jiaying, and Mr. Fan Hongxuan..."

Director Guan Zu sized up the three.

Jin Chaoqun, fat, wide face, bald...

He Jiaying, in Director Guan Zu's previous life, besides "Justice Bao", he had also completely watched "Ma Yongzhen: Struggle for Shanghai Beach".

Fan Hongxuan...

And the three of them were also sizing up Director Guan Zu at the same time.

This ATV boss is so young, so stylish, so handsome!

However, on the way, the staff had already explained Director Guan Zu's strength to them; he is absolutely a top big boss in Hong Kong, so the three didn't dare to underestimate him and their attitude was respectful.

Director Guan Zu said to He Jiaying: "Welcome home."

He Jiaying quickly said: "Don't dare, don't dare."

This time, the contract signed was a cooperation clause between Taiwan's CTS and ATV; both sides cooperate, Taiwan enjoys the copyright of "Justice Bao" in the Taiwan region, and ATV enjoys the copyright in other regions.

And the contract also stipulated that "Justice Bao" would shoot the first phase of 46 units and 236 episodes. At the same time, it also agreed on the priority cooperation right for the second phase sequel.

Why did a classic IP like "Justice Bao" not have a sequel in Director Guan Zu's previous life?

Actually, there were sequels.

In 1994, TVB invited Jin Chaoqun's original cast to shoot a "Justice Bao" sequel, but after shooting the fifth unit "Dropping Blood Red Plum", the production team ran away with the money; Jin Chaoqun and the others didn't get the money, so they went to TVB to ask for an explanation.

Boss Shao felt he had lost face, Fang Yihua felt it made no sense for her to pay, and in the end, Jin Chaoqun and the others and TVB quarreled endlessly, eventually going to court, and the first part of the second season of "Justice Bao" that had been shot was kept on the shelf by TVB and never broadcast.

However, TVB also felt that this "Justice Bao" was really good, so they organized personnel to shoot the Hong Kong version of "Justice Bao" and even spent a high price to invite Ti Lung to play Bao Gong.

The Bao Zheng played by Ti Lung was not as good as Jin Chaoqun's, and the Zhan Zhao played by Felix Wong was not as good as He Jiaying's, so this "Justice Bao · Ti Lung" version wasn't mentioned by many people, and it wasn't even as good as the later Zhou Situ Jie version of "Young Justice Bao".

Next, Director Guan Zu encouraged the three a few words and let them go to work.

What? Rest?

Not at all!

The crew has been waiting for them, how can they just rest like that?

Workhorses, get moving.

Soon,

Jin Chaoqun, He Jiaying, and the three came to the Qingshuiwan Studio.

Qingshuiwan Studio is a studio built by the left-wing Silver Star, currently rented by ATV.

It was built on November 28, 1958. It was the largest film studio in Hong Kong at the time, covering an area of 460,000 square feet, containing 6 main studios, as well as dormitories, canteens, prop warehouses, and other facilities, worthy of being called the "Dream Factory" of Hong Kong cinema in an era.

And where is the Shaw Studio (Oriental Hollywood)?

It's right on the opposite shore of the Qingshuiwan Studio.

The arrival of the three Jin Chaoqun soon caused discussion at the Qingshuiwan Studio.

"Justice Bao" was stopped by Director Guan Zu, and he even called three people from Taiwan, making many people unconvinced; if it weren't for Director Guan Zu's high prestige, they wouldn't dare to do anything too excessive, otherwise they would probably have gone on strike.

And now, Jin Chaoqun and the others have arrived, so naturally, they want to see how awesome these people are.

"It's He Jiaying!"

"Damn, it's actually him; every time the protagonist can't get popular, he can only run to Taiwan."

"Now he's even invited back?"

Many people were unconvinced.

Of course, with Director Guan Zu suppressing them, they didn't dare to be negligent,

spent 2 hours, changed clothes, put them on, and started acting!

Jin Chaoqun and the three knew that their arrival would definitely be questioned, so they swore to bring out their best state!

At this time, Bobby Au-Yeung also heard the news and rushed here, wanting to see how powerful the opponent who said he would 'crush' him was.

Official filming!

Action!

Under the plaque of "Bright Mirror Hanging High" in the yamen, Bao Qingyun, played by Jin Chaoqun, walked steadily into the main hall.

He wore a black robe, a black gauze hat, his face was solemn, and his eyes revealed firmness and justice.

More importantly, his steps; when Jin Chaoqun came, he had already thought about it, and he adopted the authentic opera stage steps, steady and powerful, reflecting his majesty and solemnity. The rhythm of the stage steps is slower, which can reflect Bao Qingyun's thoughtfulness and calmness.

In addition, he kept his body straight, his head slightly raised, and his eyes looked forward firmly. His arm and body movements also matched the stage steps, showing his confidence and majesty.

This appearance shocked the staff with Jin Chaoqun's aura.

Different!

Really different!

At this moment, they felt as if they were in a real ancient yamen.

Bobby Au-Yeung, who was watching in the crowd, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw Jin Chaoqun.

He instantly understood the gap Director Guan Zu was talking about.

Comparing himself, he was directly crushed.

And Zhan Zhao, played by He Jiaying, stood aside, looking forward with firm eyes, full of heroic spirit and righteousness.

Gongsun Ce, played by Fan Hongxuan, stood behind Jin Chaoqun, holding a book, his expression calm.

The temperament of these three together was absolutely amazing!

The staff came back to their senses and started to get busy one after another.

They seemed to be infected by the aura of the Jin Chaoqun trio and became excited instead.

Everyone wants to shoot a good show!

That's money!

The boss really has excellent vision; the people he found are truly powerful!

As the filming progressed, Jin Chaoqun's performance became more and more wonderful. He shouted the verdict of the case in the yamen, his voice loud and powerful.

At this time,

ATV, another thing happened...

Above the sky, boom boom boom~~~~~

The live broadcast helicopter shipped from Japan, the propellers kept rotating, blowing up gusts of wind.

Finally, it landed on an open space on Broadcast Drive.

Why is Broadcast Drive called Broadcast Drive? Because TVB (Wireless), Commercial Television, and ATV were once located here. Later TVB moved away, Commercial Television went bankrupt, leaving only ATV, which also left a large open space occupied by ATV.

The live broadcast helicopter was bought.

The pilot is a retired member of the Flying Tigers, hired at a high salary.

Next, the hosts and pilots need to be trained before they can officially start using it.

"With it, ATV will be able to rush to the first scene of news quickly in the future..."

Director Guan Zu looked at this helicopter and was very satisfied.

And the news director ** and deputy director Wen Huixin beside him were all excited.

Director Guan Zu: "Brush off that Japanese, change it to the ATV logo..."

Director: "Alright."

After watching the helicopter, Director Guan Zu waved his hand: "We're going back to Causeway Bay."

Took Fang Ting and Li Situ Jie onto the Chevrolet.

By the way, Xiao Fu went to Beijing according to Director Guan Zu's instructions.

A-Xing was wiping the car as if he were caring for a baby; hearing Director Guan Zu was leaving, he quickly got on the Chevrolet to drive.

Just this morning, that guy Xi Gui actually made an excessive request, wanting to drive this Chevrolet, and even said he would give him 10,000 a month.

A-Xing said: Get lost! This is the car I drive!

30 minutes later,

The Chevrolet was stuck at the tunnel entrance of the Cross-Harbor Tunnel; looking at the length of the traffic jam ahead, it would probably take half an hour.

Director Guan Zu: "............"

Black lines on his forehead.

No way, could it be that the Chevrolet's treatment is the same as the Mazda?

Fortunately, the air conditioning in this car is good.

Not long after, 2 traffic police came over.

Hey... you say it's a coincidence, it's Chen Chen Jiaju.

A-Xing opened the car window: "Hey, Chen Jiaju, what's wrong with you? How come you're a traffic cop all of a sudden?" He laughed gloatingly.

Chen Chen Jiaju looked at A-Xing in surprise, then saw the rear window roll down, and saw Director Guan Zu and the others.

"Brother Zu, what a coincidence..."

Director Guan Zu gloated: "What? Got into trouble again?"

Chen Chen Jiaju looked miserable: "Don't mention it, I was complained about, and Biao Shu yelled at me to be a traffic cop for a month."

The only good news is that it's just a temporary punishment, and his police rank and position haven't actually changed.

Director Guan Zu said earnestly: "Chen Jiaju, it's not right for you to be so miserable; you're serving the citizens wherever you are, you can't be dissatisfied or unhappy just because you're a traffic cop, your awareness is not enough."

Fang Ting beside him covered her mouth and laughed; Brother Zu really has a way with words.

Chen Chen Jiaju: "............"

Feels like it makes sense, but feels like he was fooled.

Director Guan Zu: "By the way, what's going on? Why is there such a traffic jam?"

in one look/p>

Chen Chen Jiaju: "Because there's a signing meeting at Tsim Sha Tsui Waterfront Park, not far from here, and there are too many people, leading to traffic congestion..."

You caused it, Brother Zu!

It made us so busy, the traffic police in all of West Kowloon are exhausted.

Director Guan Zu sweated.

Didn't expect it to be my fault!

Chen Chen Jiaju: "Brother Zu, I'm going to work, bye bye..."

Director Guan Zu nodded: "Bye~~"

Then Chen Chen Jiaju and his partner left quickly.

The traffic police partner asked Chen Chen Jiaju curiously: "Brother Chen Jiaju, you actually know Mr. Director Guan?"

Chen Chen Jiaju held his head high and laughed: "Of course, I've even eaten at the same table as him."

Traffic police: "Really?"

Then Chen Chen Jiaju walked while bragging...

30 minutes later,

Director Guan Zu finally returned to Causeway Bay, downstairs at the Five-Star building.

Just got out of the car,

Xi Gui rushed over like a mad dog out of a cage: "Brother Zu, are you using this car later? I want to try it out~~~"

Rubbing hands · jpg

As a car lover, nothing moves him more than a good car, not even a woman!

Then he was directly choked by A-Xing: "No, you don't want to!"

This beloved car, I won't allow anyone to defile it!

Director Guan Zu kicked A-Xing's butt and said angrily: "Look at your stinginess, let Xi Gui drive it for a bit..."

Xi Gui was immediately extremely excited: "Thank you, Brother Zu!"

Took the keys from A-Xing: "Give it here!"

Got in the car, started playing~~~

A-Xing was tearful: "Wait... please be gentle..."

Director Guan Zu went upstairs, and amidst the greetings of "Brother Zu, Boss", he arrived at the top floor office.

Wu Lianqian: "Boss."

Director Guan Zu: "How much money has been raised for the fund side now?"

Wu Lianqian checked her watch: "10 minutes ago, Five-Star Financial Company reported to us that 6.3 billion has already been raised..."

"So fast?"

Director Guan Zu was surprised.

The target was set at 7 billion, and now it's only past 16:00 in the afternoon, and 6.3 billion has been raised?

Wouldn't that mean it could be raised by 17:00?

Outrageous speed.

Last time, mobilizing 800,000 citizens to donate took several days.

Now it's only been 8 hours.

Entered the office, Director Guan Zu said to Wu Lianqian: "Today is December 28, and there are 39 days left until the New Year... our group still has one thing to do, and that is the year-end bonus."

"Have the Human Resources Department do a calculation, how much money it will cost to issue a 5-month year-end bonus... and if there are any problems with the finance side..."

5-month year-end bonus?

Wu Lianqian was pleasantly surprised: "Alright, I'll go handle it immediately."

At the Tsim Sha Tsui Waterfront Park venue at 17:30,

Ding ding ding~~~

A huge bell rang in the venue.

"Everyone!"

"All citizen friends~~"

The person in charge stood in the center of the stage and said solemnly: "Today we have witnessed the smooth completion of the 7 billion fundraising work for the 'Central Plaza Development Fund'."

"Next, signing will stop immediately..."

"Here, I sincerely thank everyone for your active participation and support, which let us see the strong support of citizens for our Five-Star Group."

As the staff announced the completion of the 7 billion fundraising, the entire venue instantly became noisy.

"Ah?"

"It's over?"

"No, I've been queuing for half an hour..."

Then came the complaints one after another.

"I haven't had a chance to invest money yet!"

"Exactly, I've been queuing for so long, how come I didn't get a turn!"

Many citizens at the scene fell into disappointment and annoyance, and some were a bit emotional, feeling that they had waited so long for nothing.

At this time, the person in charge said again:

"Very sorry, because there were so many people participating in this fund fundraising, some citizens were unable to successfully participate in the signing."

"We know everyone's expectations for this project, so we have prepared a 100-yuan general shopping voucher for Five-Star Supermarket for every citizen who failed to participate in the signing; this is a little token of our appreciation."

"Hope this can express our apologies, and also thank everyone for your support of the Five-Star Group..."

With this move by the person in charge, the citizens' emotions gradually calmed down.

"Although I didn't get to invest in the fund, this shopping voucher is considered a bit of compensation." A citizen said helplessly.

"Yes, it's better than nothing." Another citizen also said.

"Should have been earlier next time; I thought it would at least go until past 9 o'clock in the evening, but it ended just past 5 o'clock."

"What a pity..."

Soon, the staff began to arrange the sessions and quickly distributed the shopping vouchers...

Citizens held the shopping vouchers, and a hint of happiness appeared on their faces.

At the other 19 venues, the same situation occurred. Citizens expressed regret and disappointment after learning that the fundraising was completed.

And at this time,

there were still many people rushing to the venue, and after hearing the news, they were directly dumbfounded.

"What? Fundraising is over!"

"It's not 7 billion, what time is it..."

"Damn, if I had known, I wouldn't have slept in..."

"I... missed out on a hundred million!"

Many people cried in regret.

Soon, at 19:00 in the evening, ATV officially broadcast the news.

"Dear viewers, today the 7 billion fundraising work for the Five-Star Group's 'Central Plaza Development Fund' was successfully completed at 17:18..."

"Many citizens felt regret for not being able to sign..."

"And tomorrow is the auction day for the Central Plaza project; I wonder who will win it in the end?"
