Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 29 A strange auction and a visit to Michael Clayton

This farce finally came to an end with Toichi Nakata and Osamu Honda leaving dejectedly. I believe that the Hong Kong media will have new hot topics the next day.

Yu Qiuxia walked up with a surprised look on her face. Although she didn't know what happened here, the two people who just came downstairs, who looked a little lost, almost bumped into her. And she also noticed

When we arrived, the atmosphere in this building seemed a little strange. "Why are you still standing here?"

"A little thing happened!" Fang Mingyuan said cheerfully, "Sister Qiuxia, haven't those people arrived yet?" Although it is necessary for a host to arrive at the party location in advance, if the wait is too long, it is undoubtedly

It's a loss of face. Of course, Fang Mingyuan is not worried that those people will not come, it is just to divert Yu Qiuxia's attention.

"Already on the way, will be there soon." Who is Yu Qiuxia? How could Fang Mingyuan hide this little trick from her. But since Fang Mingyuan is unwilling to say more, she will definitely not be troublesome.

"Uncle Zhan, Mr. Cheng, let's go in first and wait for them." Yu Qiuxia greeted everyone into the private room. Fang Mingyuan winked at Chen Zhong and pursed his lips at Qiu Shuguo and the others, and Chen Zhong stayed with understanding.

The old man respectfully sent Qiu Xia and the others into the private room. When he came back, he saw Qiu Shuguo and the others still standing in front of the service desk in a daze.

"Gentlemen, logically speaking, I am not qualified to say anything to you, but I have to say that you are picking up sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons! You are fighting for a private room with the young lady of the Guo Shipping Group for two Japanese people.

, It’s a shame you guys figured it out! Fortunately, nothing happened. Otherwise, it would be easy for you." The old man sneered. Because of Nakata Toichi and Honda Osamu, the old man was also secretly dissatisfied with Qiu Shuguo and the others.

"The young lady of the Kwok Shipping Group?" Qiu Shuguo couldn't help but stand dumbfounded on the spot. The famous Kwok Shipping Group is the undisputed overlord of Hong Kong's shipping industry. Its shipping industry covers almost every well-known port in the world, and it is also one of the richest families in Hong Kong.

As the deputy mayor of Weijiang City, how could he not know about the wealthy family who came to Hong Kong to attract investment? However, he knew that Qiu Shuguo did not even dare to expect to have talks with the Guo family - although he was a deputy mayor

The area under his jurisdiction exceeds that of Hong Kong in terms of area and population. However, he wanted to ask to see Guo Dongcheng, but he was not qualified enough.

Qiu Shuguo let out a long sigh of annoyance, and then he really fulfilled the old man's words - he picked up sesame seeds and lost the watermelon, and offended Kuok Shipping for the sake of two middle-level cadres of Nakajima Co., Ltd. and an investment with an uncertain future.

The young lady of the group really loses more than she gains.

"Do you still need that private room?" the old man asked softly, "If you don't need it, then..."

Qiu Shuguo waved his hand. He had already been humiliated to this point. What else could he eat? Is he afraid that Mrs. Guo would not be able to remember him?

Chen Zhong walked over and asked with a smile: "What is the name of this leader?"

Qiu Shuguo was startled for a moment, then quickly stretched out his hand and said: "Qiu Shuguo, deputy mayor of Weijiang City, Shandong Province, what is your name?" Although Chen Zhong just stood behind Fang Mingyuan and said nothing during the whole process, but

However, Qiu Shuguo knew that even if there is only a nanny next to a big shot, don't offend him easily, otherwise he may regret it for the rest of his life. He didn't know who Fang Mingyuan was, but he could enter the private room side by side with Yu Qiuxia, talking and laughing, so what?

It was something that a small deputy mayor like him could not compare with. So Qiu Shuguo automatically and consciously put himself in a low profile.

"Weijiang City?" Chen Zhong knew where it was, "Mayor Qiu, I'm Chen Zhong, and I'm not a member of the system. Just now, my Shaodong really couldn't stand those two devils and disrupted Mayor Qiu's work, so that

I came here to apologize to Mayor Qiu on his behalf."

"Wherever, as a Chinese citizen, when faced with such verbal insults, we should rise up and reprimand him severely. It's a pity that I don't understand Japanese. If not..." Qiu Shuguo really didn't know how to address Fang Mingyuan.

"My Shaodong's surname is Fang, so people usually call him Fang Shao." Chen Zhong said knowingly.

The two started talking "casually" outside the private room.

Chen Zhong wanted to learn more about Qiu Shuguo and the others for Fang Mingyuan, and Qiu Shuguo wanted to explain this misunderstanding to Yu Qiuxia through Chen Zhong's words.

The big guys in the Hong Kong film industry rushed here one after another in the next few days. With this opportunity, these big guys can know the true face of Lushan, who created a miracle in the Hong Kong film industry this year.

Naturally, it was impossible for them to miss it. After learning the news, it can be said that their minds were full of thinking about how to recruit this person into their own company.

But when they came to the private room, they found that among the people present, only Fang Mingyuan and Lin Lian were strangers. These big guys couldn't help but have doubts in their hearts - could it be that this mysterious "Golden Touch" was

A young woman? Although Lin Lian has the potential to become an entertainment star based on her appearance, temperament and figure, it would be a bit too much to say that those exciting scripts were all written by a young woman like her.

It’s unbelievable. If this news spreads, I’m afraid Hong Kong screenwriters will no longer want to raise their heads in front of their colleagues around the world. As for Fang Mingyuan, because he looks younger than Lin Lian, he is even more attracted by these

The big guys directly denied it in their hearts.

Yu Qiuxia saw that all the guests had arrived, then he signaled to his subordinates to close the door to the private room, stood up and said with a smile: "Everyone, the 'Golden Touch' you want to get to know has been brought to me today. He

It's Fang Mingyuan!" Time was tight, and Fang Mingyuan had many things to do. These big guys in the film industry were also eager to know who was the "Golden Touch" and tried every means to get some information out of Yu Qiuxia's mouth when they entered the door.

, so Yu Qiuxia didn't say anything like that at the party, but directly pushed Fang Mingyuan out.

These big guys were immediately in an uproar. Finally, with the repeated assurances of Cheng Long and Huang Zhan, they reluctantly believed the result. However, Fang Mingyuan could see that the eyes of these people looking at him were full of disbelief.

and bewildered.

"The fact that Hong Kong movies can visit the United States is a reflection of the reality of Hong Kong society, and therefore it also runs through the important spiritual outlook of Hong Kong people. It can be said that I grew up watching videos of Hong Kong movies in the Mainland. If I watch this too much, I will inevitably

Some of my ideas became my comic material, and some of them were written by me into stories. You guys call me the Midas touch, but I really don’t take it seriously. The reason why I invite you seniors in the film industry to come today is because of a certain

For this reason, I am in urgent need of funds, so I plan to hold an auction to auction off the co-production rights of these scripts in Mrs. Guo's hands!" Fang Mingyuan stood in front of the stage with a calm expression.

The boss of Jiahe Film Company was the first one to wake up from the shocking news just now, and asked doubtfully: "Mr. Fang... Mr. Fang, how do you plan to auction the co-production rights of these scripts? Am I

It can be understood that whoever films the script will have the right to co-produce with Mrs. Guo in filming in the future?"

"Yes, that's what I mean!" Fang Mingyuan nodded and said, "The base price of each script is one million Hong Kong dollars, and each quotation must not be less than five hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars!"

Everyone couldn't help but be in an uproar. Judging from the current income of screenwriters in Hong Kong, Fang Mingyuan's request is obviously far beyond their psychological endurance. Although Fang Mingyuan's three films so far have achieved good results, this is not

It doesn't mean that these people can allow Fang Mingyuan to speak loudly here. If it weren't for Yu Qiuxia sitting aside, and Cheng Long and Huang Zhan sitting on both sides, the more grumpy among these people might have been

He jumped up and questioned Fang Mingyuan.

"Please don't be surprised. I did not misrepresent the reserve price and quotation rules of the scripts. However, the proceeds from the auction of these scripts will only be at my disposal for one year. After one year, I will return the original amount to all of you seniors.

"As for the safety of this fund, Mrs. Guo will guarantee it with the future income from these scripts." Fang Mingyuan said loudly, "What you have to pay is just one year's interest on this money."

Everyone calmed down and secretly thought, if this is the case, then it is not a loss...

Speaking of Michael Clayton, I believe that 99.99% of Chinese people will be confused and ask: "Who is he?" Maybe some people will also ask, did you say it wrong?

Michael Jackson?

But people in the 2000s are no strangers to the blockbuster "Jurassic Park" directed by Hollywood director Steven Spielberg. This American blockbuster can be said to have left a very deep impression on people with its special effects.

It has achieved a total box office revenue of nearly one billion U.S. dollars worldwide, ranking 14th in the global movie box office. It can be said that the Universal Pictures Company that shot the film made a lot of money. And "Jurassic Park" has also become the company's

series of movies, and successively filmed "The Lost World" and "Jurassic Park III". Although the investment in the latter two movies was far higher than that of the first movie, because there was no obvious innovation in the storyline of the script, the box office achieved

The results are far inferior to the first one, which makes people feel a little sad.

The script of the movie "Jurassic Park" is adapted from the novel "Jurassic Park" of the same name, and its author is Michael Crichton.

Michael Clayton is a well-known person in the United States. He is a famous American best-selling author, film and television director, and producer. Most of his works are in the action genre with strong technological elements, so he is known as the "Father of Technological Thrillers"

.Using works to express personal views on the world has gradually become Michael Clayton’s characteristic.

Reading his works, what comes to mind is the eclectic inclusiveness of American culture. This inclusiveness is not only reflected in the marriage of his novels with science, but also in the extensive references to scientific knowledge about physics, medicine, genetics, and astronomy.

Moreover, he combines the variety advantages of various novels to extract the unique magical and bold imaginative style, sharp and thorough thinking line, broad and grand narrative techniques and concise and powerful language features unique to his novels.

He is the only person in the United States who has achieved extraordinary achievements in the three fields of best-selling books, movies, and TV series at the same time. He also serves in many industry associations such as the Writers Guild of America, the Directors Guild of America, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Many of his works have been put on the movie screen. At least the ones that Fang Mingyuan has an impression of are "Congolese", "The Lost World", "Flying Fungi" and "Earthquake".

For him, Fang Mingyuan didn't know that the original works adapted from his favorite movies were actually written by him until he passed away from cancer.

After the script auction was successfully completed in Hong Kong, good news came from Mr. Guo Dongcheng. The overjoyed Fang Mingyuan did not rush to Japan as originally planned, but turned to the United States and went straight to Michael Clayton.

's residence.

At Fang Mingyuan's request, with the full efforts of the Guo family, and through a series of connections, he was finally able to contact this famous writer in his previous life in time.

Although he was full of confusion, Michael Clayton still received Fang Mingyuan, a young man from the far east, in his study.

Michael Clayton gestured for Fang Mingyuan to sit on the sofa opposite him, and said with a slight apology: "Mr. Fang, since your visit is very sudden, the time I can spare is very limited, so please tell me straight to the point.

That’s your reason for coming.”

"Mr. Clayton, I have taken the liberty to disturb you because I have a story that I have been thinking about for a long time and want to tell you. If you think this story is worth writing, it will undoubtedly be my greatest honor." Fang Mingyuan looked sincere.

typical.

"Huh? What story?" As a writer, he will never refuse those novel and philosophical stories. Although he has never been to China, he has a deep understanding of the ancient Chinese country with a history of five thousand years and the splendid Eastern civilization.

Michael Clayton is quite interested in ideas.

"I have read some of your works, and I am deeply touched by some of your views. For example, I feel that, as you said in your article, scientific achievements are sometimes irresponsible, and every scientific invention brings so much to mankind.

Not all are good things. Those scientists and technicians have achieved amazing and incredible results, which is certainly encouraging to mankind, but the possibility of extreme dangers that may result from this is often ignored by mankind.

"For example, nuclear technology, such as the controversial cloning technology, these achievements have certainly given us humans unprecedented power, but they have also opened Pandora's box." Fang Mingyuan did not follow the topic, but changed the topic and started talking.

This reminds me of my thoughts on Michael Crichton’s works.

Fang Mingyuan's words immediately made Michael Clayton look at him with admiration. He did not expect that the views in his book would be so thoroughly understood by an oriental young man. This made him unable to help but feel curious about Fang Mingyuan.

Interest. Fang Mingyuan is right at all. Science often plays an obsessive role in Clayton's works. Even for scientific achievements that are completed step by step, he can also cite the worst application examples.

"Mr. Fang, well, I have to admit that the huge gap between your knowledge and your age made me a little contemptuous of you at the beginning." Michael Clayton admitted frankly, "But I can guarantee that you

I will listen carefully to every word that is said next."

"Your works follow the line of popular and popular novels, but they are able to break away from the limitations of popular novels and use the high-tech imagination field as a background to trigger readers to question some issues related to human beings, science, and the future.

Deep thinking, and when it comes to subjects that touch social reality, you can shake some seemingly unshakable systems and norms in American society through the appearance of characters and events, so I think your novels have serious criticism of reality.

Spirit. You can be said to be one of the few writers in the West who can combine the thrills and excitement of popular novels with the ideological connotations of elegant literature. In your works, you have shown us vivid scenes of high-tech.

The breadth of the fields covered and the accuracy of the descriptions really amaze me. And I think that these works of yours will have a non-negligible impact on the world's future scientific and technological culture."

Michael Clayton was very excited when he heard it. He felt that every comment Fang Mingyuan made about himself and his works deeply touched his heart. "Okay, okay, Fang, I have to say, you are really

You are a rare master of complimenting others in my life. Every word you say seems to scratch the place where I am most proud, which makes me very happy. But if these compliments continue, I am afraid that my old face will be the same as that

It’s as red as a monkey’s butt.”

Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "This is not a compliment from me, but a fair evaluation that you deserve. Maybe you don't know that I am also a writer, but my works are limited to comics, game scripts and movie scripts.

, it is also somewhat famous in Japan and Hong Kong in the East."

Michael Clayton was immediately surprised and incomprehensible. However, the works brought by Fang Mingyuan quickly made him realize that the young man in front of him was indeed his peer, and he was also a peer with outstanding achievements.

"Fang, please forgive my bluntness. Since you are also a writer, why don't you write it yourself?"

Regarding his question, Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "I think this is a very good subject matter, but as a novel involving high-tech field knowledge, I cannot express it perfectly through words. And this point

, but it is exactly the field that you are good at. I believe you can understand that from a certain point of view, each idea and one theme are just like our newly born child. As a 'father', I always hope that he can stand out.

. I think you are particularly good at using a controversial theory and technology to conceive a novel and portray characters around this theory. Moreover, your novel has a mysterious plot, constant suspense, climaxes and exciting, so I think that in

In your hands, its future will be brighter!"
