Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

"what?"

"Not a word of it is right!"

Lin Zhengjun said calmly without waiting for him to get angry: "First, you said that the work did not reflect patriotism. In the script, Lao San is a member of the nuclear industry geological team. He died of leukemia. Do you know why he died? Because of the radiation from the uranium mine. He was looking for mines for the country and he risked his life. Isn't this patriotism?"

He Jinwen was stunned and felt a little embarrassed.

He was so focused on love that he didn't notice this detail!

"This is called subtext. It doesn't need to be written clearly, but the character's behavior is the most convincing and can best prove his patriotism! Shouting out "I love my motherland" like in "Lush Mountain Love" is too straightforward and too shallow!"

Lin Zhengjun continued to question: "Why can't you see it? You probably don't know that uranium ore has radiation and can kill people, right?"

He Jinwen: “…”

Is this guy mocking me for being uneducated?

"And you just criticized 'Love in Lushan'. Although I don't think the script is as good as mine, I still have to say something fair for him!"

Lin Zhengjun continued, "The heroine is the daughter of an officer of the Chiang Kai-shek Army and a returned overseas Chinese. She has to wear 43 sets of clothes to match her status. If you let her wear rags, then doesn't that make her a proletarian? When we make war films, the clothes worn by Chiang Kai-shek's army, the devils, traitors, and female spies are better than those worn by us revolutionary masses. This is the truth of art, and it is also an objective presentation that respects history. If we present it objectively, does that mean we are promoting it? Do we want the audience to learn from them?"

"The most important thing is, are patriotism and love contradictory? In your opinion, human hearts are so narrow-minded that they care about family and lovers. If you have love and family, you can't be patriotic? What kind of bullshit is this!"

"I want to ask Director He, if there is no love, no affection, no family in this world, how did you emerge? Like Sun Wukong, jumping out of a stone?"

He Jinwen was so angry that his face turned red and his whole body trembled. Then, he was furious and pointed at Lin Zhengjun and shouted, "You, you cursed me?"

Lin Zhengjun said: "I didn't curse anyone. Besides, some people's words are not harsh but their reason is not harsh, but mine is not harsh but my reason is not harsh. What I said makes sense!"

He Jinwen was so angry that his face turned red and he was about to explode.

Wang Yang advised: "Lao He, calm down. This novel has been published in People's Literature, so it should be safe. This magazine has always been very strict in checking the ideological, artistic and political aspects of works. You should relax and reform, so you can't be timid!"

"You, you will be killed by them. If anything goes wrong with this project, you will be responsible. Anyway, I reserve my opinion!"

He Jinwen left angrily after saying this.

Fu Qi and Shi Hui walked in and said with a smile, "I just heard what Zhengjun said outside the door. It's really a wise idea!"

Wang Yang advised: "Zhengjun, don't take his words to heart. He is only in charge of personnel organization, not specific business. Not many people care about him. He always wants to show his importance. Besides, he is relatively conservative in his thinking, and it has always been like this..."

"Don't worry, Director Wang, I don't bother to pay attention to him..." Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

After watching "The Tai Chi Master" and "Orphan", Fu Qi and Shi Hui praised them highly, saying, "Great, great!"

“The story of Tai Chi Master is as exciting as Shaolin Temple. It will definitely be a hit!”

"Orphan is also very good, and is no less than the standard of Hollywood thrillers!"

Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "So, it's been approved!"

“It’s been approved!”

Fu Qi said happily: "I didn't expect that Zhengjun, this is your first time writing an entertainment film, and it was a collective creation of the team, and you wrote it so well!"

Zhou Yangguang and Liang Xiaosheng both showed excited smiles on their faces.

The manuscript has been approved!

It was passed so smoothly!

It’s going to be on the big screen, and it will be released in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and it may even go to the United States to earn US dollars. This is a brilliant achievement for them, and it will leave a strong mark in their personal resumes in the future!

At this moment, both of them were full of gratitude towards Lin Zhengjun!

Lin Zhengjun taught them step by step and brought them up to speed. If it weren't for Lin Zhengjun's guidance, it would take them forever to create on their own!

Fu Qi said: "Of course, in the subsequent actual filming of the crew, we may need to cooperate with the director to make some modifications, and we may need the screenwriter to follow the crew. Are you willing?"

Lin Zhengjun said: "I have to go back to my hometown for some time to do collective sideline production, so I'm afraid I won't have time. Let them follow the group!"

Fu Qi smiled and said, "Are Comrade Xiaosheng and Comrade Yangguang willing?"

"willing!"

They both agreed readily.

If you follow a group, not only are food and accommodation provided, but you also receive a two-dollar subsidy, which is actually equivalent to a welfare benefit.

It would be even better if Orphan was filmed in Hong Kong!

The decadent and decadent capitalist society must be criticized.

I heard that the toilet paper in the bathrooms of the big hotels there has patterns on it and can be taken away at will. This is simply unbelievable, so I decided to verify it.

Fu Qi said, "Okay, then you two go and do other things first. I have something else to discuss with Zheng Jun."

Zhou Yangguang and Liang Xiaosheng left the office, and Fu Qi asked, "Zhengjun, what do you want to do with your 40,000 Hong Kong dollars in royalties?"

Lin Zhengjun said: "I still want to invest in stocks and silver futures..."

Fu Qi and Shi Hui looked at each other. They didn't expect that after considering it for a few days, Lin Zhengjun was still so determined and not shaken at all.

"Stocks? Which one do you want to invest in?" Fu Qi asked.

"Kowloon Wharf." Lin Zhengjun said.

Fu Qi asked: "Why this one?"

"I read a lot of Hong Kong newspapers and learned about the situation of Wharf."

Lin Zhengjun said: "In the past few years, Hong Kong's economy has entered a period of rapid growth, with an average annual GDP growth rate of 10%. Most of the wealth has been deposited in Hong Kong's real estate."

"Excess capital from both inside and outside Hong Kong has fueled the boom in Hong Kong's real estate market, while the annual supply of 50 hectares of land has further strengthened the role of land as a wealth magnet."

"But what is strange is that the Hong Kong stock market has been extremely sluggish in the past two years, with the market value of many stocks lower than their book net asset value. What is even more outrageous is that many real estate stocks have not reflected the rise in housing prices and are lying flat."

"The Kowloon Warehouse Group was first founded by the British and is controlled by the Jardine Matheson Group. Its early businesses were mainly port-related, but it gradually diversified and became a comprehensive real estate company with deep-water docks, open-air cargo yards, freight warehouses, and other assets including buildings, hotels, trams, and the Star Ferry."

Fu Qi and Shi Hui looked at each other.

They originally thought that Lin Zhengjun wanted to buy stocks because he was just a young man who learned about new things in the West and made random investments on a whim.

Unexpectedly, he actually did his homework.

Apart from anything else, the ability to collect information alone is astonishing.

Fu Qi thought for a moment and smiled, "But, as far as I know, the company's profit performance is average, and its stock price has always been low. At the beginning of last year, it was only HK$13 per share, even lower than its book value of net assets per share of HK$18. Why are you optimistic about it?"

"Wharf Holdings' main profit model is to build buildings for rent, but due to the slow capital recovery and the slower growth of rent than the increase in land prices, its profit performance is not outstanding."

Lin Zhengjun said: "But in fact, the company's docks, warehouses and other businesses occupy a large amount of land in core areas such as Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, New Territories and Hong Kong Island. If calculated based on market prices, the average value of each share is as high as HK$50. The current share price has seriously deviated from the fundamentals."
