Hong Kong Entertainment’s Life Simulator

After watching Lin Jianyue leave, Zhao Donghuai picked up the phone and called ATV, "Old Xu, let's start, recommend the (Modern Diao Chan) beauty pageant program today."

"Now that we have chosen, we can select the four beauties of ancient times one by one."

The screening of John Wick 1 has already entered the late stage, so in order to promote it, Diao Chan women's shoes have already been produced and stocked.

Zhu Lin, Guan Jiahui, Zhou Huimin, He Qing, Chen Hong, Qiu Shuzhen, Gong Li and other beauties will take the stage to perform their talents one by one, and the beauty pageant program can begin.

Choose Diao Chan, one of the four beauties in ancient times?

In fact, He Qing's costumes are also very competitive.

However, Zhao Donghuai still feels that Zhou Huimin is more likely to win the modern Diao Chan, not because he favors A Min, but because A Min is currently the most popular among the girls and has the most fans and fans.

Just looking at looks, Zhu Lin, A Min, Chen Hong, He Qing, and Guan Jiahui have the greatest chance of winning.

As for the trainees in the ATV training class, or Li Zhi, and other contestants who came out of society, they are basically running with them.

It can only add interest to the show.

After ending the call, Zhao Donghuai walked to the fifth floor. The special effects team that has been established since July 14th is also full of talents, more than a month ago.

Dozens of computer science graduates from Qingbei came from the mainland, as well as a dozen seventh- and eighth-level workers, bringing with them a group of apprentices who were model makers for the special effects team.

As for Zhu Jiaxin, the team leader, he was still running around Amei's house to learn about various situations and purchase machinery and equipment needed for various special effects industries.

Now that John Wick has been released, Zhao Donghuai has some choices about what to film in his next movie, Super Body!

The next version of Super Body, starring Black Widow, will be released in 2014. The production cost that year was less than 40 million U.S. dollars, and the final global box office was more than 460 million U.S. dollars.

You said that special effects in this era are used to create super bodies? The technology is definitely not good, it's far behind, it's really too far behind, but in many cases the special effects technology is not enough, and it can be shot using crude methods.

For example, when the heroine Lucy and her male police partner were being chased while driving, Lucy relied on her superpowers to control the sinking of roadside bollards on the sidewalk with her mind. The car chasing Lucy hit a road pillar and overturned.

How to do this special effect?

A few real-life electric lifting bollards were made, and the heroine and her male counterpart drove over, and arranged for stunt people behind them to crash... and overturn the car. Hong Kong stuntmen in this era are not afraid of working hard.

The level of computer special effects cannot keep up, so the car crashes for real. Anyway, Director Zhao has a group of dragon and tiger warriors from the island country, and he is not afraid of losing his life.

Cheng Long guest-starred in "The Five Lucky Stars" and "The Five Lucky Stars" in which he guest-starred in a car accident scene that crashed more than 50 cars. How could those have any special effects? On stunts.

Another example is the heroine Lucy's confrontation with the South Korean gangsters. Facing the villains, she is like a big devil. She stops with her fingers and raises her hand, and the villain's younger brother directly rises into the air... It's just a hanging wire, no real performance.

In the 1980s, various costume films from Hong Kong movies were flying around, but they were all hanging on a tightrope.

Lucy controls the laptop, controls the cell phone signal, etc., and it can all be shot like a soft prophecy version of stop-motion animation like in John Wick 1.

Lucy is on the plane, her brain is constantly unlocked, and she has not grabbed other CPH4 drugs as her abilities become stronger. Her limbs begin to become blurred, and all the outer skin disappears with a touch of her hand, revealing flesh and blood. This requires special effects modelers to create different skin. Skin model with the same color as flesh and blood.

Covering it layer by layer, shooting with stop-motion animation, and then using the special effects team CG for post-production synthesis.

This technical level? The Arnold Schwarzenegger robot in Terminator 1, with half human face and half mechanical face special effects, was released in major theaters this year. It was also a combination of a physical model of the robot and special effects.

And putting makeup on Arnold and stuff like that.

As long as you spend money and pay attention, it is impossible to compare the special effects of the original 2014 to the current super body shooting, but it is still possible to catch up with the level of Terminator 1.

Lucy's blurred fingers, face deformation, etc. on the plane can all be synthesized to Terminator level by relying on physical special effects models, real-person makeup, and computer technology.

Another example is Lucy sitting on a chair and constantly traveling through time and space...

That means multiple takes, shooting in different locations, and editing afterwards.

I took a picture of Lucy sitting on a chair on the streets of Hong Kong in the 1980s. I am also taking some street scenes from the 1950s and 1920s, and then I went to the mountains and forests in the mainland to shoot scenes.

The special effects of Lucy returning to the Jurassic era cannot be done.

But the Jurassic dinosaur bubbling itself is not important in the super body story.

Find an actor to play the role of a female ape. Paipa and Lucy meet by chance in the valley and just touch their fingers. Is it difficult to style the female ape? Have you looked at the makeup and looks of all kinds of monsters, monsters, and gods in the 1986 version of Journey to the West? ? Bad?

Planetary and cosmic landscapes, changing nebulae... This is really impossible to photograph and can only be discarded. It will slightly reduce the quality of science fiction special effects, but the impact will not be too great.

Those are all the special effects scenes at the end of the movie. If they are added or not, and the early stages are done well, the impact really won’t be that big.

As for the Lucy actor? In order to break into North America and Europe, Director Zhao plans to let Monica Bellucci join directly.

Monica's female roommate in the movie could have been fucked by Laura Fernandez.

The professor at the University of Hong Kong is like the one who watched and explained that the brain is constantly unlocking, and let Xu Jinjiang come on. Xu's face can also keep bumping into the faces of Hollywood Aquaman and Thor.

The big villain is still positioned as an island society gang, and the drug lord is Ji Chunhua.

Then Xu Jinjiang recruited a wave of white supporting professors. In addition to the backbone of the island country club, Ji Chunhua could also insert a few white young supporting players.

The original version of Super Body has relatively few fighting scenes, resulting in the total running time of the film being just over 80 minutes. That still includes the opening and closing subtitles, but if Zhao Donghuai starts filming, he can add a few action scenes to the length of the film. Wave.

The Jet Binny from the fast food truck can be brought in to be a country boy.

If this drama is started and prepared from now on, it will take a month or more to create special effects models and the like. The more realistic the better.

When it comes to doing computer special effects in the later stage, it will take even longer, and it is not uncommon to take three or four months.

Such a long time is enough for Monica Bellucci to learn and improve her acting skills. If her acting skills are not good enough, she can slowly burn the film without fear of spending money.

And Monica also needs to be whitened. This is not to say that Monica with a healthy wheat color is not beautiful, but it is easier to highlight her behind-the-ball charm with fair skin and some blond hair or red lips.

If we really want to build a super body, it may not be completed in half a year, but Zhao Donghuai still feels that the super body is very promising, at least it will drive the development of the special effects industry in Hong Kong Island.

Hurricane Rescue, the first film to use handheld photography and fast editing, had a lot of time to work with the crew and shot a sample first.

This time he also planned to let the special effects team make a one or two minute sample to practice their skills.

Just choose the special effect of Lucy on the plane. Due to the lack of CPH4, the fingers become blurred and the skin falls off with just a touch.

Find seventh- and eighth-level workers, including art masters, to make fake skin sets. First make a mold model. After Monica is finished and acted out, the special effects team will start working on it...

This is not the first Hong Kong science fiction film, but it is a masterpiece that aims to be a masterpiece.

………………

Wanjia Supermarket in Tsim Sha Tsui is the staff home on the fourth floor. Many off-duty employees are taking turns in and out of the library, karaoke room, video room, gym and other areas.

Just a few months.

The employees of Wanjia Supermarket in Tsim Sha Tsui are madly in love with this kind of enterprise. It feels like it is their own enterprise and no longer just a 996 outside.

If you do other work, go to nightclubs for karaoke or go to the gym, get massages, etc. during holidays, you can find them all at the employee home, free of charge... Of course, the massage is a massage chair.

The entire employee home area was filled with laughter and laughter. When many people were enjoying their holidays, a young man in his early 30s walked out of a video room and said to Zhu Lin who was walking with her, "Sister Lin, Hong Kong Island can have such an enterprise. It really made me gain knowledge.”

Zhu Lin looked embarrassed, "Han Chang, you should call me Xiao Zhu. I can't bear such a title."

The young man is Han Shanping, deputy director of Emei Chang.

In August of this year, this month, I just came back from studying in Beijing and was promoted to deputy factory.

Before Deputy Factory Han could say anything, several Wanjia employees passing by greeted Zhu Lin with a variety of expressions, such as admiration, admiration, fascination, etc., smiling or smiling, and shouting " Hello Sister Lin" and so on.

There are Cantonese and Mandarin, and most of them are Mandarin. Many people know that Zhu Lin doesn’t understand Cantonese very well.

Zhu Lin responded with a smile, and Han Chang laughed, "Look, this is the citizen's choice! You, Sister Lin, are doing a great job."

Sister Lin was embarrassed again.

Initially, she was hired by Zhao's Film Company to provide food, accommodation and air tickets, plus a 3,000 Hong Kong dollar salary to make a cameo. Who knew that after the movie was released, she would actually be a store manager in the store, selling shoes in conjunction with the Han Dynasty's offensive?

Zhu Lin resisted at first, but the leaders of Emei Factory strongly supported it.

Hong Kong dollars can be converted into U.S. dollars at will. U.S. dollars are a way to earn foreign exchange, which is a good thing!

She was not popular in Hong Kong Island before. The episode of "King of the Land of Women" was filmed but has not been broadcast yet. The original episode of "The King of the Land of Women" was filmed in 1985.

It's different here. Director Zhao has spent a lot of money on the Journey to the West crew, so it will naturally go much faster.

Because she was a guest store manager in Quick Chase, and among a large group of top goddesses, her appearance and temperament were still outstanding, so Zhu Lin settled down as a store manager in the Tsim Sha Tsui store.

From the 1st to now, she has sold more than 6,000 pairs of her personal models. Many of them were originally purchased for other celebrity models. When meeting Zhu Lin in real life, can she still get an autograph?

What happened to six thousand pairs in one month? Sprinkle some water.

But these more than 6,000 pairs mean that Zhu Lin can draw more than 60,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to 8,000 US dollars!

Only Deputy Factory Han would come to Hong Kong Island and get to know Sister Lin again!

Deputy Factory Han has been growing up in Emei since 1977, and Zhu Lin has been here for two or three years. With her beauty, it is normal for many people in the factory to be familiar with her.

But Director Han never imagined that Zhu Lin could easily earn eight thousand dollars a month? ! So fast, so suddenly, just because he had a cameo in John Wick? And then sell shoes in physical stores?

After sighing with emotion, Factory Director Han smiled again and said, "You are now famous and have become our factory's little foreign exchange hero. Why don't you let Lao Wang help you with logistics?"

Zhu Lin is married, her husband's surname is Wang... She is 32 years old, isn't it normal to get married early?

Zhu Lin wanted to say something, but her BB phone rang. Deputy Factory Han waved her hand. There were many free landline phones in the employee home.

Sister Lin smiled and said a few polite words, then went to answer the phone. Ten minutes later, she came over in a daze, "The Korean factory, ATV, asked me to participate in a program to compete for the modern Diao Chan. Tianxia Shoe Factory, sponsored by Diao Chan Women’s Shoes.”

"They want me to wear ancient costumes and perform on stage. I'm already over 30..."

Deputy Factory Han's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands, "What a great idea, don't worry, our factory will definitely support you fully, Diao Chan, Hanfu, just look for it, we will make the best for you!"

This is another opportunity to earn foreign exchange!

Just make a quick guest appearance as the store manager of Han Tianxia Shoe Store, and you can earn eight thousand dollars a month. Do you really want to participate in a good show, perform more talents, and continue to sell Diao Chan women's shoes?

He feels that there is hope that Zhu Lin's personal models can sell tens of thousands of pairs, which will be tens of thousands of dollars or more by then!

Lin ZHU,"……"

She was really speechless. She had no idea at first. She was too old. Compared with teenage girls like Zhou Huimin and Chen Hong, who were stunning beauties, she was able to compete on the same stage at an age where she could be a mother.

Is it too exaggerated?

What do you mean by giving your full support? ?

However, Han Chang ignored him and turned around to make a phone call. As soon as the phone call ended, he happily ran to the video room to continue watching movies.

In the video room of Wanjia's employee home, the most played video tapes are of course Zhao's and Debao's series, ranging from New World One Two, Hurricane Rescue, Lone Tiger, including Mr. Zombie, Top Gun Policewoman Overlord Flower, Hardcover Chasing girls and so on.

Deputy Factory Director Han watched it with great interest and felt it was an eye-opener!

He is an orthodox filmmaker, and he can occasionally watch outside films in the mainland, but there are really not as many choices as here in Wanjia, and the viewing experience is comfortable and comfortable.

………………

Tsui's film.

Xu Ke was still pulling together Cheng Xiaodong, Ruan Jizhi and others to compile the script for A Chinese Ghost Story, when he saw Shi Nansheng and Wang Zuxian walking over in a hurry. Sister Shi said decisively, "ATV is going to launch a new program, and they are going to hold a program to compete for the modern Diao Chan."

"The famous contestants are Guan Jiahui, Zhou Huimin, and Chen Hong, but we also warmly welcome beautiful girls of the right age to actively participate and sign up."

"With the fame of Guan Jiahui and others, if Xiaoxian is promoted, even if she just appears on a TV show, her popularity will be greatly improved!"

"This is a program planned for Diao Chan women's shoes after Liu Xiu Shoes in the Han Dynasty."

Xu Ke's eyes lit up, "Yes, Xiaoxian, what talents do you have? Try wearing a costume?"

They are all our own, and Wang Zuxian also signed with Zhao. It's just that she is too tall... not suitable for joining a girl group.

Wang Zuxian said weakly, "Can I try singing?"

Xu Ke hesitated, "What about this?"

Wang Zuxian said awkwardly, "How about playing basketball?"

Xu Ke, "..."

Cheng Xiaodong burst out laughing, "No, Xiaoxian, you are too... playing basketball on stage? Do you want to add some popular rap from A-Mei's house and sing while playing?"

Cheng Sir is also a great director now. Together with Yuan Heping, they made Black Man, which sold for more than 10 million dollars in North America and just over 100 million Hong Kong dollars. It also had a box office of 24 million in Hong Kong.

But Xu Ke asked him for help, and he came anyway. Not to mention that they were all from the Zhao family, he had also made a movie with Xu Ke in 1980. That was the first time he acted as a martial artist.

Last year's New Shushan Swordsman was also directed by Xu Ke, and he moved his fingers.

Xu Ke rolled his eyes wildly, "Okay, stop teasing Xiaoxian. Xiaoxian is a member of the Zhao Group and has advantages. Even if you wear ancient clothes and pretend to play the guqin, don't be seen through. If you add some music, it will be fine." good."

"It's much better than playing basketball and singing rap!"

A Chinese Ghost Story is originally a love story between a human and a ghost in ancient costumes. The concept also included a scene where a female ghost plays the piano in an ancient temple late at night to attract the male protagonist...

This was first featured in (Campaign for Modern Diao Chan), and it seemed pretty good.

Having said this, Xu Ke stood up happily, "Although A Chinese Ghost Story mainly relies on Leslie to attract popularity, it would be a good thing if Xiaoxian's reputation can be improved."

He looked Wang Zuxian up and down again and said regretfully, "You don't look bad, but you are too tall. Wait for the filming with Leslie. Leslie and you will have to put bricks under their feet when they appear on the scene together. Hey... otherwise you will enter the music world." The combination may not really have a chance to be selected.”

"Zhao Sheng is here to promote the new Diao Chan women's shoes, so his actions will definitely not be small!"

Wang Zuxian, "..."

She also looks a little dark. Is it her fault that she is tall? I even have a pair of long legs that would make a dead person envious.

………………

When Zhu Lin, Wang Zuxian and others first learned about the new program (campaign for modern Diao Chan) from internal channels, ATV's big move was quickly launched.

Advertisements on TV show silhouettes of beauties in ancient costumes with exquisite life-like proportions. The images of beauties in ancient costumes such as Zhu Lin, Guan Jiahui, Zhou Huimin and Chen Hong are revealed behind them.

The agreement is that starting from September 1st, all the girls will take the ATV stage at 8pm to perform their talents and canvass for votes. Each landline phone has one vote.

We will also cooperate with the Diao Chan women's shoes that will be launched in the Han Tianxia brand store in September. Use tickets and women's shoe sales data to PK who is the most beautiful woman in Hong Kong. Can she catch up with one of the four beauties in China's thousands of years of history? The name of Diao Chan!

In addition to the big stars who have already debuted or become famous, all beautiful girls over the age of 16 in Haowan, Hong Kong are also welcome to sign up for the election by calling or mailing their beautiful photos starting from the 22nd.

Anyone who makes it out of the registration competition will have the opportunity to perform on stage.

This is a direct opportunity for ordinary girls to compete with the most popular female stars who have exploded in the music or film and television circles, such as Zhou Huimin, He Qing, and Guan Jiahui... Let's see who is synonymous with the moon-shy beauty!

Once the TV commercial is released, it will be announced and distributed in conjunction with the Kowloon Daily News Group, Oriental Daily News and Tian Tian Daily News.

A sensation throughout Hong Kong.

When various news spread to Haojiang and Wanwan, the two places were equally shocked.

You know, you know, Hurricane, One Man, or even the just-released John Wick, which one is not a box office bomb? Whether the songs of girl groups are in Cantonese or Mandarin, they are still the most popular all over the world.

Can ordinary girls compete with the most popular actresses? ?

Even if they knew that beauties from ordinary families had almost no chance of winning, it was still so exciting that countless people couldn't sleep.

Just for example, Zhou Huimin started her career as a common girl. In less than 9 months, she is already a rich man with an income of 10 to 20 million yuan.

As long as the girl at home is beautiful, how many citizens can withstand this kind of stimulation? ?

The registration phone number left by ATV, including the registration phone number left by Kowloon Daily, was flooded with calls on the same day, and the letters mailed to everywhere every day, including photos and other basic information, were also full.

………………

August 25th.

TVB.

Shao Yifu was sitting in the office with a depressed and unhappy look on his face. He received a report that they were all candidates who were actively participating in the Miss Hong Kong competition. As soon as ATV's (Contest for Modern Diao Chan) came out.

All the pretty girls who applied for the job have changed jobs.

After a while, while he was still sulking, Fang Yihua knocked on the door and walked in, "Brother Six, you said next year, will Zhao Sheng really help us promote a new girl group?"

Shao Daheng was speechless, "I didn't know, it was just a verbal agreement..."

At this stage, he can only count on Zhao Sheng to be honest and moral. What do you mean by Zhao's Cinema Line? Zhao Donghuai is just renting it and it will expire in February next year?

It doesn't make any sense.

There are more than a dozen Wanjia supermarkets opened on Hong Kong Island, and they can allocate certain locations and convert them into theaters at any time. No matter where they are opened, Wanjia supermarkets are the most prosperous customer traffic explosion in that place and near the community. land.

Not to mention the ones that are closed, such as Watsons and Wellcome near those places, but those that are still open have only 10 to 20% more customers than before Wanjia's rise.

More often than not, their parking lot is crowded with vehicles from citizens who drive to Wanjia for shopping. Parking... is expensive.

Some people in the newspapers joked that it would be better to let Mr. Li convert the Watsons Building into a parking lot to make it more convenient for the public, and there would be no need for shoppers to fight for parking spaces. They might even ask parking guys to help.

In this case, what if he uses the cinema to cause trouble?

Zhao Donghuai can free up a theater chain whose land and real estate belong to him at any time!

That's not all, Zhao Donghuai also used the big business of going to the mainland to turn Lei Juekun and Zou Wenhuai into allies and younger brothers.

This is outrageous!

Now that guy can say he is the dominant player in Hong Kong's film industry, it's not bragging.

The record department of Zhao's Pictures has already caught up with the influence of China Star. After all, more than a dozen Wanjia branches, including the two in Haojiang, and the street-facing record stores on the first floor, are all retail terminals owned by Zhao.

After being silent for a while, Shao Daheng took a sip of tea and said, "I'm old, I'm old. Young people become promiscuous and I can't resist them at all."

………………

Zhao's residential area on Broadcasting Road.

Laura Fanna arrived happily and found her dormitory area. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Monica Bellucci walking with little steps.

Laura was surprised, "Monica? What are you doing??"

Monica straightened up instantly and walked over as usual, "Are you back? Is the termination of the contract settled?"

Laura nodded, "It takes ten days to go back and forth. Boss is willing to help me pay the termination fee. It's not difficult. What did you say just now?"

Monica endured the discomfort and waved her hands calmly, "It's okay, it's just that people often contradict me, which made me so angry that I accidentally fell. It's a minor sprain. I'll just apply some medicine to recover."

"By the way, let me tell you some good news. The boss's next movie is a science fiction blockbuster. When the time comes, you will be my heroine's best friend."

"You're back, so you have to improve my acting skills."

Laura Fanna flew away on the 15th, and Monica issued a weak challenge. In fact, she was fine on the 20th. If she can't stand it, will there be a follow-up?

She was wrong, she really knew she was wrong.

The disease enters through the mouth.

Laura was surprised, "Science fiction? Isn't it a new action film with handheld photography and fast editing? Can science fiction be filmed in Hong Kong?"

Monica smiled and said, "Of course you can. You don't know that the boss has invested tens of millions of dollars in establishing a science fiction special effects department."

Laura was shocked, and then began to look forward to it.

As long as they can be shot well, science fiction blockbusters are still very popular!

………………

Zhao Films.

When Guan Jiahui and He Qing changed into traditional Chinese clothes and walked out of the rest room, Sister Guan couldn't help but exclaimed, "Brother Huai, is this shipped from the mainland?"

"I think the costumes are much better than those used in TVB and ATV costume dramas!"

Is the ancient Hanfu good-looking? That really puts the aesthetics of clothing from thousands of years ago into a modern metropolis, and it is definitely not out of date.

Explain the word Huaxia?

As long as Mr. Zhao spends money and gives fair prices, there will definitely be big names in the mainland who can help you handle everything.

Zhao Donghuai smiled and nodded, "I'm not worried about Ah Qing's candidacy for Diao Chan. You still have to practice more. Xu Ke said before that he wanted Wang Zuxian to talk about guqin and show off."

"What about you? Would you like to choose an instrument?"

"I have chosen all the songs for you."

Guan Jiahui's eyes lit up, "What song? Myself?"

Director Zhao shook his head, "You can't do it alone, why not join Ah Qing? The song is called Blue and White Porcelain, but you don't want to sing at this stage, just play the music. Let's make a wave of classical music such as guqin, guzheng, and flute."

"To run for one of the four beauties in ancient times, it would be more appropriate to play with traditional musical instruments."

There are still five days left. A few beauties will practice a little more and make sure their playing gestures are correct. In terms of TV shooting technology, it is not difficult to pretend to play a classic score.

I didn’t expect them to sing well and become a hit when I promoted Blue and White Porcelain. Instead, I did not expect them to sing songs in the ancient Chinese style and wear Diao Chan in ancient costumes, which was more in line with the artistic conception.

Of course, Amin wore ancient costumes and sang her famous song (Courage), and Gong Li and Chen Hong performed dances. These two are also good at singing and dancing.

In the past few days, Amin's two songs have been charting on radio and TV stations. As expected, the chorus version did as expected, and the MV was stopped after being played a few times on the TV station.

If it stops, it will stop, as long as the meaning is in place.

That song (Say You Say Me) was naturally a blast for the ghost guys!

The popularity is on par with Ruyi, and Gui Lao, Banana Man, and Colonist like it very much. After all, it was on A-Mei’s bulletin board in 1985, and it won four consecutive weeks, including the Golden Globe Award and Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1986!

If we really wait until September, Zhou Huimin's popularity in the music industry will not be as popular as Zhang Guorong, but there will be no problem in suppressing Hua Zai's popularity.

One after another, they circled around.

No matter how many letters of recommendation ATV and Kowloon Daily received, time continued to pass steadily.

August 28.

Lockhart Road, Wan Chai, Huang Weiming, the originator of cheating food and drink, packed up and went out. When he passed by the 711 and Baijia Xing convenience stores on the street, he turned around and entered Baijia Xing.

When he bought a pack of cigarettes and paid the bill, the clerk smiled and said, "Huang Sheng, do you want to apply for a VIP membership card?"

Huang Weiming was stunned, "VIP membership card? No, is it necessary for a small convenience store like Baijia to get a VIP? What are the benefits of your VIP?"

Although he felt that it was a bit ridiculous to have a VIP membership card at a 24-hour convenience store on the street in front of his home, he still supported Baijia's business, Zhao Sheng's.

I want to learn more about something new. What if it is an opportunity to promote it to the public and curry favor with Zhao Sheng?

Don't forget that Huang Weiming has become very eye-catching since he made all kinds of bold statements about eating this and that, and performing this and that. His popularity has skyrocketed, and he has made more money!

All of this was promoted by Zhao Sheng.

The clerk quickly explained, "If you run our Baijia chain store, you can save money with a card. At this stage, you can only shop at a dozen nearby chain stores and the nearest Wanjia supermarket."

"But next year it is expected to be available at more than 200 Baijia surnames and more than a dozen Wanjia supermarkets in Hong Kong."

"This is just a benefit. Electronic checkout with a membership card. For example, you don't have to keep changing when buying a lighter. You can also bring change when buying wrapping paper or a can of Jianlibao. It saves you the trouble of changing."

"We are also not afraid of wrinkles, stains, or damage to banknotes, and we are not afraid of receiving counterfeit banknotes..."

"The most important thing is that the maximum stored value of our membership card is 3,000 yuan, but when the balance in your account is zero, you can still spend 35 yuan on credit like a credit card."

"Don't underestimate the fact that you only owe 35 yuan on credit. You go out to buy instant noodles, cigarettes, lighters, etc. and forget to bring the money. Spending on credit can save you from a wasted trip. Of course, Huang Sheng is an acquaintance of our branch. He didn't apply for a card and forgot to bring the money. , you can also pay on credit in our store.”

"But this 35 yuan credit is expected to be available to you in more than 200 Baijia stores and more than a dozen Wanjia supermarkets in Hong Kong next year."

"Even if you are penniless, the credit balance in your card can still give you a good meal at Wanjia..."

This is the general situation of Octopus in the future. Since Octopus runs all over Hong Kong Island, it will be stable for ten to twenty years.

There is no need for Zhao Donghuai to make major changes. It doesn't matter if he makes some minor changes. Most of them are just copied.

The IBM team has been busy for more than ten days, and has also contacted communication companies to lay out the network. Now it is possible to put the large LAN Octopus into trial operation.

The big network has not yet been fully connected. For example, the small store in front of Huang Weiming's home on Lockhart Road in Wan Chai can only connect to more than a dozen nearby Baijia surnames and a Wanjia supermarket in Wan Chai.

But start with the parts and work on it as you go, and gradually connect the rest.

It has just been launched, and it is impossible to be accepted by a large number of citizens at once. It has to go through a process. The IBM team, the technical bosses of Hua Xia Bank, and people invited from Qingbei are all watching this trial operation.

Huang Weiming listened to Lin Zongzong's words, "..."

He felt that such a VIP membership card seemed to be quite convenient.

If it can only be consumed and used in the store near his downstairs, it will definitely not be easy to do and recharge randomly. It is expected to be used in more than 200 stores in Hong Kong next year, and there may be more stores in the future.

There are also more than a dozen Wanjia supermarkets!

If you charge money in one store, you can use it anywhere else? This is good. In the era of paper money consumption, every consumer will encounter many minor embarrassments in life.

Coins and change are easy to lose, banknotes are damaged, and counterfeit money...

It seems that this membership card is very convenient for citizens.

Before Huang Weiming could speak, an uncle beside him who had been listening said, "Yunzi, does the recharge need to be 3,000?"

The clerk smiled and shook his head, "No, Uncle De, you can charge fifty yuan or a hundred yuan, whatever you want."

Uncle De asked again, "Can the remaining balance of this membership card be used for consumption at Li Chaoren's 711?"

The clerk Yunzai smiled and shook his head, "No, this is the VIP membership card for Wanjia and Baijia."

Uncle De scolded, "It's not very convenient to choose. I would say it would be more convenient if you could also swipe the card on the bus. I heard that your big boss has a good relationship with the Kowloon bus tycoon Lei? Why don't you Are Kowloon buses also brought in?"

Yunzai's smile remained unchanged, "..."

I was at a loss. How the hell did I know, Uncle De, your question is very tricky. Can computers be installed on buses to connect to the Internet?
