Chapter 532 The Long Wait
At around [-]:[-] p.m., two cars stopped in front of the Kumho Film Company building in the center of Hong Kong. The doors opened, and Tong Tong and Luo Ning, accompanied by a middle-aged fat man with a big belly, stepped into the door.
"Director Huo, is this building the property of Kumho Film Company?" Luo Ning asked in a low voice.Being able to own such a large office building in the center of Hong Kong, where land is very expensive, is originally a manifestation of the company's strength.
The middle-aged fat man called Director Huo smiled and said: "Young Master Luo, this building originally belonged to the Guo Shipping Group Company, and Kumho Film Company has been working here since its establishment. Originally, they only It occupies three floors, but up to now, the entire building is completely used as the office space of Kumho Film Company. As for the ownership, whether it is still owned by Guo Shipping Group Company or Kumho Film Company, that is I don't know."
Luo Ning nodded. It is impossible for him not to know the great name of Guo's Shipping Group Company. In terms of the assets of Guo's Shipping Group Company, it is nothing surprising to have such assets in Hong Kong.
"Director Huo, how much Hong Kong dollars is this building worth in Hong Kong?" Tong Tong whispered enviously.
"It's hard to say, but no matter how small it is, it will cost hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars," Director Huo said in the same low voice.
"Hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars!" Tong Tong whispered.The value of this building can be equal to the annual gross national product of some impoverished counties in the Mainland.
"Excuse me, three, what do you need me to do for you?" The front desk lady asked proactively.
"I'm Huo Jun from the Hong Kong Office of the China Film Association. We have an appointment with your company. We will visit your company this afternoon. If possible, I hope to meet Mr. Yu of your company." Huo The soldier said politely.
"The three of you, please wait over there, I need to check the reservation status of some of you," the front desk lady said politely.
The three of Huo Jun sat on the sofa seat in the corner of the hall, and their own service staff brought them tea.
"Young Master Luo, you two have watched "Terminator 2", what do you think?" Huo Jun asked casually.
"I think there is racism in "Terminator 2"," Tong Tong said.
"Racism?" Huo Jun and Luo Ning exclaimed in unison.This is a very serious political hat, which is not tolerated by the mainstream views of the international community.
"Of course, that's how it was played in the movie. As the birth of the disaster, the research and development of the Skynet system came from a black scientist who is not a bad guy. Obviously this is a deliberate design to push the disaster to black people. Although this Scientists finally realized their mistakes, bravely took on the task of destroying the Skynet system, and took their lives for it. But it cannot be denied that there is discrimination against black people in the film.”
"Sister Tong, if you think so, I'm afraid you won't be recognized by most people. I think that in the design of the movie "Terminator 2", the developer of the Skynet system is set as a black scientist. It is an affirmation of the wisdom of black people. Science and technology itself are not good or bad. When used in the right way, it is for the benefit of mankind; Whether it is good or bad depends on who uses it." Luo Ning shook his head.
"You want to contradict me on purpose," Tong Tong gave Luo Ning a dissatisfied look, thinking.She also discovered that Luo Ning seemed to like to bicker with her these days. She talked about things and others, and she wanted him to beat dogs and scold chickens, which was quite different from when they first met.
"Director Huo, I think "Terminator 2" is called a blockbuster, and it can be said to be well-deserved. The most exciting thing is the battle between Schwarzenegger and the t-1000, whether it is the chase scene at the beginning to protect Connor , the fight to save Sarah in the hospital, and the final decisive battle, these few paragraphs left a very deep impression on people. Hey, if you don’t watch it, you don’t know if it’s true. People’s Hollywood movies can actually make fakes to that extent. It looks like it's real." Luo Ning ignored Tong Tong's dissatisfaction and continued talking to Huo Jun.He wished that Tong Tong would feel bad about him and reject this marriage with his family in the future.Such a wife, he can't afford it
"I think Schwarzenegger played a very good role. From the initial robot to the later humanized image, we can see obvious changes." Tong Tong interjected.
Huo Jun laughed and said: "The total box office of "Terminator 2" in Hong Kong has exceeded 500 million Hong Kong dollars, and the North American box office has reached 7000 million US dollars. If there is no accident, the box office will break through 3000 million. I believe you both know that this time Kumho Films and Huaying Group reached an agreement to introduce "Terminator 2" for 2 million yuan to be screened nationwide, which is a major event in our country's film industry. Hey, the mainland film market really needs A big-budget film like Terminator [-] is here to boost popularity."
Luo Ning and Tong Tong glanced at each other, and they already knew the difference in their hearts. The reason why Huo Jun mentioned "Terminator 2" was because of the last sentence, implying to himself that this cooperation with Kumho Films, For Huaying Group, it is of great significance, so there is no room for loss.
"Isn't it just money after all? Hehe, the introduction of 3000 million yuan will definitely make a lot of money in the end. It's just that the cooked duck will fly away, so he came to remind us in a roundabout way," Tong Tong said dissatisfied.
Huo Jun looked at Luo Ning and Tong Tong without changing his expression. He believed that the two of them already understood the meaning of what he said just now.He also had to do the same, he had also heard about Tong Tong's actions in Hong Kong these days.The girl of the deputy director of the capital has a big temper, which is quite rare.
With her status and status, if it is said that it is no big deal for ordinary Hong Kong citizens, even if she is stabbed, the Hong Kong police station will generally look at the face of the mainland government and turn a blind eye.But what I want to meet today is Yu Qiuxia, the daughter-in-law of the Guo family, the eldest daughter of the Yu family, the head of Kumho Group and Kumho Film Company, who has great influence in Hong Kong. If you annoy her, then things will be troublesome.Yu Qiuxia doesn't care who you are, unless you are descendants of members of the Politburo, otherwise, with the energy of the Guo family, there is nothing to be afraid of.At that time, if you don't do well, you will be implicated.For his own happy life, he had to remind the two officials.
The three of them sat in the corner of the hall, and after twenty or ten minutes, they still didn't hear the reception lady's answer.Huo Jun stood up, came to the front desk and asked softly.
"Sorry sir, we are looking for appointment registration, please wait there patiently, if we find it, we will notify you as soon as possible," the front desk lady replied politely, leaving Huo Jun with nothing to say.
"Director Huo, what's going on?" Luo Ning asked strangely.
"It said that we couldn't find our appointment registration, and we are looking for it now." Huo Jun said a little depressed, "It's strange, even if you can't find an appointment registration, just call and ask the relevant person, and there is no need to go all the way to the dark? "
"Director Huo, who did you contact at the beginning? Just call him and ask him to come down and pick it up," Tong Tong said impatiently.
Huo Jun turned back to the front desk again, and after a while, he came back with a surprised face.The few people he contacted were not in the office, and there was no response to any of their paging calls, which made Huo Jun feel a little strange.A similar situation has never happened before.In the morning, he had confirmed once again that the receptionists at Kumho Film Company were not like this at that time.
"Not in the office, and no one answered the paging, wait any longer," Huo Jun said helplessly.He also doesn't understand what's going on, it's already been agreed, how did a simple thing develop into this appearance
The three of them waited in the corner of the hall for a full hour and a half, until Huo Jun and the others were so annoyed that the front desk lady told them that they had found an appointment registration and asked them to go to the small meeting room on the top floor, and after 10 minutes , Yu Qiuxia will find time to have a brief meeting with them.
The three of them went up to the top floor, and as soon as they got out of the elevator, service staff came over, led them to the small meeting room, and brought them tea and dessert in time.The anger in the stomachs of the three of them could not help but dissipated a lot. Maybe it was the mistake of the front desk staff?
But 10 minutes passed quickly, but there was no sign of Yu Qiuxia at all.
10 minutes in two, 10 minutes in three, the three of them saw that the sun outside the window had already set to the west, but they hadn't seen Yu Qiuxia appear yet.Huo Jun has gone out and asked no less than five times. The service staff is very polite, but they don't rush anyway.Huo Jun felt helpless.At this time, it is meaningless to talk about visiting.It seems that this afternoon was for nothing.Huo Jun was also a little puzzled. In the past year, he had dealt with Kumho Films a lot, and he had never received such treatment?
"Director Huo, since this is the case, let's go, why waste all our time here, it's such a big air." Tong Tong has long been impatient.In the capital, others often waited for her, so why did she wait for others for such a long time?
Before Tong Tong's voice fell, the door of the small conference room was suddenly pushed open, and then several people came in, the leader was Yu Qiuxia
