Rebirth: It’s Like Flowing Water - Vol 4 Chapter 82
The latest website: Sister Mei’s original family can be called the best of the best.
Her mother and brother, if there is a list of the worst family members in the Chinese entertainment industry, these two can basically dominate the list.
To put it simply, Sister Mei not only has to support the whole family by herself, but also provides a luxurious life for her mother and brother. The key is that the mother and son are also good at gambling.
Sister Mei couldn’t even figure out how much gambling debt she paid them.
But even so, her little daughter still didn’t get a good word from her mother.
Her superb mother even called Sister Mei a white-eyed wolf in front of the media. If she knew this, she should have thrown it away as soon as she was born!
Therefore, it is not a secret in the circle that Sister Mei does not get along with her family.
There is no reason for it, as long as she has a better relationship with Sister Mei, the old lady has scolded her.
Friends in the scolding circle dare not speak out publicly.
Some people may say that it is difficult for an honest official to cut off housework, and maybe there are other secrets in the family that lead to the discord.
Maybe Ms. Mei has her own reasons.
Huh, not really.
Say so!
In the original time and space, even with the family has reached the point of irreconcilability.
Before her death, Sister Mei still made a will, giving her mother a monthly living allowance of 70,000 yuan, and saving an education fund of 1.7 million yuan for her two nephews and two nephews.
It can be said that benevolence is done.
But her mother and brother were not satisfied, they wanted to have them all.
So, on the fourth day after Sister Mei passed away…
You know, at this time, Sister Mei’s funeral has not yet been held, and the mother and son took the deceased Sister Mei to court and began to compete for the family property.
The old lady poured hardships in court and cried desperately. Then out of the court, I found a high-end hotel, serving abalone and lobster.
She was photographed by reporters and asked her, aren’t you very poor? How can I still eat abalone?
As a result, the reporters underestimated the old lady’s face, and people replied confidently, “If you don’t eat better, how can you have the strength to file a lawsuit?”
Shameless?
And when she is high-spirited, full of righteous indignation!
Maybe it’s because people are old and their energy is really limited. The old lady put all her energy on fighting spirit and indignation, but she is sending black-haired people to white-haired people, and to those who died young after only 40 years. My biological daughter, never shed a single tear, not even a little sadness.
To be more extreme, Sister Mei was dragged to death by her mother and brother.
At this moment, Qi Lei said that, “Go to the capital and stay away from them.”
Sister Mei looked at him blankly, lost in confusion.
to Beijing?
Simple to say!
I have to say that Qi Lei’s conditions are very attractive, and the background of Zhongchuan is strong enough.
After I went there, I made more money and relaxed a lot, and I could really stay away from the entanglement of my mother and brother.
But that’s not how the account works.
After all, she is still a Hong Kong star, her roots are in Hong Kong, and her family, friends and career are all in Hong Kong.
How can it be so simple to suddenly change to a strange city?
Besides…
Sister Mei suddenly gave a wry smile, “I’m just thinking of you for A Rong and sister, and sister didn’t give you this brother in vain.”
“But, no…”
When Qi Lei heard that she meant to refuse, he was not in a hurry to persuade him.
In fact, if it wasn’t for this opportunity, and it was imminent, Qi Lei wouldn’t have brought it up now.
It’s a bit awkward after all.
This kind of thing is not a quick knife to cut through the mess, and they have to be given some time to accept it.
As for why Brother Rong agreed so quickly?
Actually, it’s a coincidence.
Brother Rong actually has a good friend in Sichuan who once suggested to him to live in a mountain village in Chengdu for a period of time to relieve work pressure.
Brother Rong actually has this yearning himself, but the work here in Hong Kong is really too heavy, so he has never made it.
And Qi Lei’s proposal for him to sign Zhongchuan was right in the heart of Brother Rong. He worked for four months a year, and he could use the rest of the time freely, just at the invitation of a friend to go to Chengdu to see.
As for Sister Mei, she was not so lucky.
From the tone of voice, Qi Lei could see that Sister Mei had a lot of concerns.
“Then tell me, where can’t you be?”
Qi Lei had to figure out what her concerns were in order to break them down one by one.
Well, let’s use communication again, the study of communication!
When you’ve been rejected, don’t worry, and don’t continue trying to persuade, it will only backfire.
Have to figure out first, the crux of the matter.
And when Sister Mei heard what he was asking, she rolled her eyes speechlessly, “No, no, no, there are so many questions!”
“Tell me.”
Sister Mei, “I’m different from Young Master Rong. He can be idle, but I can’t.”
“You know, I’m the president of the Hong Kong Performing Arts Association.”
“Also, I like filming and singing, and my sister is about to marry herself to the stage.”
“And these, for now, are only available in Hong Kong.”
She simply opened her mouth, and with Qi Lei’s searching eyes, Sister Mei simply opened her heart.
“I know that you have connections in the mainland, and you must have a lot of resources.”
“However, after all, my sister grew up in Hong Kong and has been in Hong Kong all the time. If you go to the mainland, you will be somewhat uncomfortable.”
What Sister Mei said is the truth. In this era, Hong Kong is an Asian port after all, and it has been colonized by John Bull for so many things. It is very different from the mainland in many subtleties.
On the other hand, the mainland has just opened up and is still in the development stage, and some things are not so open yet.
Not only Sister Mei, in fact, many Hong Kong people have the same idea as her, and they are a little uncomfortable.
“Besides…” Sister Mei pondered for a while, “Sister can’t just think about herself. Now the entertainment industry is in recession and there are many difficulties. As the president, you have to set an example and help everyone find a way out.”
Qi Lei rolled his eyes when he heard it, right? You can’t take it anymore, why bother with Hong Kong Entertainment?
However, Hong Kong Entertainment?
Qi Lei was startled suddenly, “Sister, continue talking.”
I saw that Sister Mei’s facial features have changed. If you continue to talk about it, you have to talk about that family.
I didn’t want to say it at first, but her personality is different from Rong Shao after all.
Rong Shao is bored by himself when he has anything, at least no one knows about depression.
But Sister Mei happened to be the other way around. As long as she recognized friends, she would dig her heart out. Willing to share anything.
Speaking of family…
“You know, it’s unpleasant.”
Embarrassed, “But then again, it’s a family after all!”
“Can you really say that you don’t care? No matter how far you are, you still have to think about it.”
“Besides, my mother didn’t say she could avoid it.”
Speaking of this, Sister Mei laughed herself, “She will chase after the capital.”
“Why, you still want my sister to throw everyone to the mainland?”
Qi Lei heard…
He swears that this time, there is absolutely no intention of “thieves don’t take advantage”, it is definitely a temporary initiative, and it is definitely sent to the door by Sister Mei herself.
Qi Lei really never thought of taking advantage of this.
“Hey-hey.”
Sister Mei, “…”
what’s the situation? Why is this kid laughing so wickedly?
“Be serious! What are you laughing at?”
“Sister~~~~”
I saw Qi Lei rubbing his hands together, “I understand, it’s just three concerns!”
“First, the focus of work is in Hong Kong.”
“Second, worry about the future of Hong Kong Entertainment.”
“Third, you still can’t let go of your uneasy aunt, and you’re afraid she’ll go to the capital.”
“Am I right? Just these three?”
Sister Mei consciously brought it into Qi Lei’s summary, “That’s about it.”
But he saw Qi Lei slap his thigh, “Sister Mei!! You made a mistake!”
Sister Mei was startled, “What… I made a mistake?”
“Let’s talk about the first point first!”
Comrade Qi Lei turned on the cheating mode.
“First, if you sign a Chinese biography and settle in the capital, it will not affect your development in Hong Kong!”
Sister Mei: “…”
Qi Lei, “I just asked you to sign it, and I didn’t say that you should focus on the mainland. You can still treat your work in Hong Kong as your main business.”
“It’s just that Zhongchuan is considered a half official, right? It’s equivalent to putting a label on you. Moreover, this official label, if you think about it carefully, is actually only beneficial to your career without hindrance.”
Sister Mei was confused by him and thought about it carefully, is that so? The focus of work can also be in Hong Kong. That……
That really doesn’t hurt.
Qi Lei continued, “Similarly, settling in the capital does not make you cut off from your family!”
“It’s just, regain control of the initiative!”
This time, Sister Mei really didn’t understand, “What do you mean?”
Qi Lei’s face was sinister and slippery, “You don’t understand this, right? I’ll analyze it for you!”
“You said, in the past, you couldn’t escape. Your home, company, and work were all in Hong Kong, and she could always find you.”
“However, it’s up to you to settle down in the capital, whether or not to go back to Hong Kong, and when to come back.”
“I didn’t tell you to cut ties with your family! When you can’t let it go, when you want to go home and have a look, go back and have a look.”
“We can’t stop the old lady from making a fuss. But when she’s making too much trouble, you can still go, right?”
“At least there is a way out. Unlike now, there is nowhere to hide.”
“And, most importantly!”
Sister Mei frowned, “What?”
Qi Lei, “In the future, the pressure of public opinion will be much less.”
Sister Mei didn’t understand, and couldn’t get around this corner for a while.
Qi Lei laughed, “Sister Mei! Zhongchuan!! The background of radio and television!”
“On the Hong Kong side, not to mention all the media should be afraid, but a considerable part still needs to be taken into consideration.”
“At least those high-traffic mainstream Hong Kong media will no longer hype up your family’s affairs.”
“A little bit of gossip and tabloids will not make a climate.”
Sister Mei: “…”
Sister Mei was a little moved.
Officially, she was not as thoughtful as Qi Lei.
If the pressure of public opinion could be lessened, it would indeed be a great relief for her.
But on second thought, it still doesn’t work.
“Then she goes to the capital to make trouble, what should I do?”
Even more embarrassing!
Moreover, after being reminded by Qi Lei, this kind of gossip would be a bigger drag on signing Zhong Chuan. The officials don’t want this kind of news about their own signed artists, right?
“No, no!” The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. “When the time comes, she will have no way out!”
But he didn’t want to, Qi Lei laughed out loud, and popped out a sentence that ruined Sister Mei’s three views, “Going from Hong Kong to Beijing is to pass the border.”
“pass……”
This is… outrageous!
Sister Mei didn’t even think about it, did she pass the test?
What Qi Lei meant was that if the family couldn’t pass the test and could not enter the mainland, how could she go to the capital to make trouble?
This method is very strange, and Sister Mei didn’t even think about it.
But here comes the question, is this a thing for Qi Lei? And he can do it.
Sister Mei became more and more shaken.
As a result, the following paragraph from Qi Lei completely moved Sister Mei.
I only heard him say: “As for your second point of concern, the future of Hong Kong’s entertainment industry.”
“How about it?”
Qi Lei, “Then for this, you have to consider signing a pass.”
“Because, the future must be in the mainland. Even if you can go to sea, you must go out through the mainland, rather than relying on such a small entertainment market as Hong Kong to come back to life!”
Sister Mei: “…”
…
————————
To be honest, in Qi Lei’s initial planning, he never thought about getting involved in the entertainment industry.
It’s just that I’ve only had a little intention recently.
The first idea came from the beginning of the establishment of the Young Eagle Class, thinking of letting the Young Eagle Class change the future Chinese people and the concept of entertainment abroad.
But it is limited to the direction of popular communication in the Internet age.
The second idea came from the advent of the blog network. For the development of the blog network, he had to jump to the front and participate in the campaign.
During this period, I also met Wang Leather Pants, Hua Zi, and Sister Mei, but only for the blog network.
The third time, it was to do “Longing”, which is a big step towards the entertainment industry.
However, the starting point is still the need for publicity, and it is not a deep understanding of the industry.
Even the desire to train the young eagle class is much greater than the desire to develop in this industry.
Qi Lei is actually just playing tickets. He has money and time, and he is happy to do a variety show of later generations, but he still has no desire to go deep into business.
Including now, to persuade Sister Mei and Brother Rong to make up for their regrets, he does not have much affection for this industry, nor much desire.
So, it’s all foolishness and no planning.
To put it more bluntly, he can waste a little time like playing tickets, but his main energy is still in two directions:
First, the current theme business of Sanshi Company includes two computer manufacturers, Imagination and Shenzhou.
The other is the awesomeness he bragged on the top floor of No. 2 Middle School after the insight experiment.
Let the fleeting years be colored and the earth bright!
Let this generation no longer live with such anxiety, let us Chinese live in an atmosphere of national pride earlier.
These two things, one hardware and one software.
Qi Lei felt that it should be enough to keep him busy all his life.
As long as these two things are done well, even if he is not reborn in vain, he will not waste the youth of these two lives.
As for the entertainment industry, I really don’t have that energy.
However, when Sister Mei just talked about her worries about HK Entertainment, Qi Lei suddenly had a flash of inspiration and connected a lot of things together.
This thing seems to work! !
——————
After chatting with Sister Mei until the early hours of the morning, she was finally persuaded by Qi Lei, but she couldn’t accept it so quickly psychologically, so she just wanted to go back and think about it, and give Qi Lei a quick answer.
But looking at her mood, Qi Lei knew that she was inseparable.
When Sister Mei left, Qi Lei glanced at the time, it was already five o’clock in the morning.
Calling Lao Qin in a bad way and telling him to get up!
As a result, as soon as the call was made, the old Qin on the opposite side was gasping for breath, and Qi Lei knew as soon as he heard it, either he had woken up early, or he had not slept yet.
or…
Well, Lao Qin was not so energetic at that age.
“What are you doing?”
“Running!” Old Qin replied in a muffled voice, “So early? Is there something wrong?”
Qi Lei, “There’s something wrong!”
On Lao Qin’s side, he found a secluded place, sat down, wiped his sweat, “Tell me!”
Qi Lei, “I have an idea!”
Old Qin was stunned, and then he was overjoyed, “Imagine has a result from the research over there? Where do you want to start?”
Qi Lei, “It’s not a fantasy.”
Lao Qin was startled again, “No? What’s the clue?”
Qi Lei, “It’s about the road of cultural defense and cultural export. I have a clue.”
Lao Qin, “!!!”
Surprise better than before.
In fact, Qi Lei has been focusing his energy on variety shows recently because he has encountered a bottleneck period, and Lao Qin knows the two things he is going to do.
However, both paths are stuck.
Imagination’s computer manufacturing has said before that the current domestic level is similar to zero, so there are many barriers to break through. Nan Lao has to consider for a long time before formulating a feasible development plan.
Therefore, Imagination is actually no different from when it was in Liu Jixiang’s hands. It is still an assembly plant and has not made any progress.
Qi Lei’s ideal of using communication studies for cultural defense and cultural export has also stagnated, and he can’t do anything now.
There are several main reasons:
First, the time is not yet ripe.
The domestic Internet is still in its infancy, and the number of users has not yet scaled, so it is too early to say anything.
Second, the Pangu system has also entered a period of stable development, and it cannot cause any big waves for the time being.
Third, the eagle class is still growing, and the talent pool is not enough.
Therefore, on this road, Qi Lei will not see any results in the short term.
Although it has always been done, it is only fragmented.
It’s like the plan of the little brother.
It’s like incorporating the main theme in variety entertainment.
Waiting for these efforts, in fact, does not count as anger.
It’s like an article, Qi Lei didn’t even list the outline, just thought of some episodes.
In this regard, due to the existence of the insight model, both Lao Qin and Beiguang attach great importance to it, and have been trying to find a way of thinking, even if it is a breakthrough.
No one wants to see the chaos of the future presented by the Insight Model.
This kind of social chaos and cultural weakness is actually no easier or even more destructive than technological weakness.
In fact, this is also the main reason why Qi Lei can be unimpeded at the upper level.
“Tell me!”
Old Qin is interested, if Qi Lei can really find an idea, a breakthrough, at least he doesn’t have to ram around like a headless fly like he is now.
And Qi Lei’s answer was just four words, “Hong Kong movies!”
Lao Qin was puzzled, “How do you say it?”
Qi Lei, “Let’s put it this way, at present, only Hong Kong movies can pose a threat to Hollywood movies.”
Lao Qin thought for a while, “It doesn’t seem like it?”
“European films are at a good time, Bollywood is much bigger than Hong Kong films, and even the Japanese entertainment industry is full of talents. How can you identify Hong Kong?”
Qi Lei, “Don’t think about it, you said that these three have no future!”
“What’s the reason?”
Qi Lei, “European cinema will die sooner or later in its tone. Not too low, but too high!”
“We talked, you know, the entertainment in the future tends to be popular and vulgar.”
“So it’s a matter of time before European cinema declines.”
“Japanese movies have a lot of talent, but they learn from Europe, and the ending is the same.”
“As for Bollywood…”
“The third brother has a clear brain, and he is destined to be a niche if he takes the road of musicals. Even if a good work comes out, it will not become a climate.”
“Only Hong Kong!!”
Lao Qin, “What’s in Hong Kong?”
Qi Lei, “There is industrialization, my old uncle Bei!”
Lao Qin said, “Industrialization?” This is the first time he has heard the word in the film industry.
Just heard Qi Lei: “Don’t be surprised, the purpose of commercial films is not artistic presentation, but profit.”
“In the modern economic system, if you want to make a profit, you must tend to industrialized processes, and achieve efficient, controllable, and predictable manufacturing processes.”
“The era of relying on the talents of directors and actors to support profits will pass sooner or later!”
“Large-scale commercial manufacturing will inevitably weaken the human factor and improve the impact of scientific management on profitability.”
“So, industrialization is the direction of Hollywood and the direction of all commercial films.”
“The level of industrialization of Hong Kong films is the closest to Hollywood, and even surpasses Hollywood in some aspects!”
“This is a very big advantage. It’s a pity to lose it.”
It is said that Hong Kong’s filmmaking is shoddy and a little too fast.
But fast and bad, it doesn’t really matter.
The root of the speed lies in the mature film production process and the same shooting system as the assembly line.
There are kings of bad movies like Fatty Wang, but there are also masterpieces like “Infernal Affairs” that are full of details and well-made.
Lao Qin listened to Qi Lei’s talk, but he didn’t quite understand it. But it’s not a problem, you can go back and study this.
“So, you’re eyeing Hong Kong movies?”
Qi Lei bared his teeth over the phone, “Forget it! The best channel for cultural output right now is movies. If we can create a movie ecosystem that rivals Hollywood, then a lot of things will be easier.”
“Of course.” The conversation changed, “It’s not just movies, but if the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry is saved, it will be very interesting!”
Lao Qin: “…”
A little greedy?
Instinctively, I felt that Qi Lei was a little bit big this time.
As a result, Qi Lei guessed what Lao Qin was thinking. He added, “Uncle Bei, you have to know that even now, the superstars who have great influence in Asia among the Hong Kong stars are getting a lot of attention.”
“If these superstars are made into a class of eagles…”
Lao Qin lost his calm when he heard it, and didn’t let Qi Lei finish his sentence, “So, do you know where to start?”
Qi Lei, “I know, listen to me!”
Old Qin, “Don’t! I can’t tell you clearly on the phone, come back quickly and discuss in detail!”
This temptation is a bit big.
