The birth of the Hong Kong Island family

It’s Spring Again (1982).

On this day, "The Swordsman: The Invincible" started shooting at the New Territories studio. Lin Zhichao, accompanied by Zou Wenhuai, attended as the boss.

The on-site filming team and actors were all surprised when they saw Lin Zhichao, the big boss, coming in person. Of course, some people understood some problems. After all, the protagonist of this drama is Lin Qingxia.

"Everyone, please relax, there are many of you that we, Jiahe, cannot afford to offend. Naturally, there is no need to see me, the boss of Jiahe, nervous." Lin Zhichao joked at the scene.

Everyone laughed!

The director here is Tsui Hark, who was invited by Golden Harvest Films. Of course, New Art City basically had no cooperation. This is because since the second half of 1980, Lin Zhichao has been preparing for "The Swordsman", so Tsui Hark and Xu Guanjie are the ones who must stay.

During this period, it even broke out that Golden Harvest was poaching Xu Guanjie and Tsui Hark at Xinyi City. Zou Wenhuai knew that Lin Zhichao attached great importance to the "Swordsman" series, so he bought them at a higher price. After all, the boss wants his woman to come out for filming now, and even he, the general manager, has to watch and make sure nothing goes wrong.

For example, Xu Guanjie, New Arts City offered 2 million, and Golden Harvest offered 2.5 million, which directly blocked New Arts City from selecting Xu Guanjie for "Best Partner".

Tsui Hark joked: "Lin Sheng, are you worried that I won't be able to film this movie well? You plan to personally direct it!"

This boss personally participated in directing two lines of "The Swordsman" (Part 1) when it was being filmed. The directors at that time included Hu Jinquan and others. Of course, Lin Zhichao's guidance is just a general route to follow, and the most prominent one is the "jianghu".

"The Swordsman" was released last year and ranked eighth at the Hong Kong box office, which is not a bad result.

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "To guide you, Tsui Hark, I, a layman, am far behind a professional director! However, the "Swordsman" series really allowed me to see a different kind of martial arts. This is the new martial arts film I want to join Oriental." The emotional entanglement between Bubai and Linghu Chong reflects a certain subversion of Hong Kong martial arts movies. That is, Jin Yong may not be too happy about it!"

Anyone who has his or her work significantly altered by others will definitely be unhappy.

Tsui Hark laughed: "I almost didn't buy the copyright!"

Everyone gathered around to join in the fun. Seeing that the big boss was very concerned about the movie and even expressed his opinions in person, they couldn't help but look at Lin Qingxia.

The rumors are true!

This Taiwanese female star was taken into the house by Tycoon Lin early, but she just doesn’t know why she still comes out to film when she is so rich!

At this time, the name of "The Swordsman: The Invincible" has not yet been announced, but "The Swordsman" is just being filmed; so everyone does not know that the protagonist of this drama is Lin Qingxia.

After a while, the power-on ceremony was held at an auspicious time.

Lin Zhichao did not participate in this, and even Zou Wenhuai did not participate. The two chatted aside.

"With the rise of New Art City, three films entered the top ten local box office movies last year," Lin Zhichao said casually.

"Small-cost comedy movies are indeed very profitable. We are also trying to make better comedy movies recently!" Zou Wenhuai replied.

Unexpectedly, the boss, who had never been in a hurry, now became concerned. Could it be that New Art City is really powerful?

Lin Zhichao immediately said: "You don't have to make comedy movies. John Woo, the director of "Funny Times", I heard that you asked him to only make comedy movies?"

He doesn't care about Jiahe Movies, and it's not really what the outside world says, leaving everything to Zou Wenhuai. In fact, he would intervene in many key personnel matters.

Zou Wenhuai said: "Yes, two of his comedies have grossed over HK$5 million at the box office!"

Lin Zhichao immediately said: "I like him. I will lift the ban later and let him cooperate with Tsui Hark. Can he try to shoot a gun fight film that reflects the sunny aesthetics of the film style? See if he can go overboard. In the later stage, give him Enough support, I need someone here who is good at shooting gun fight movies, preferably in a violent aesthetic style. Let’s train this John Woo!"

Zou Wenhuai was surprised, and then said: "No problem, I will talk to him later!"

After years of cooperation, Zou Wenhuai also understands that Lin Zhichao, the boss, will always interfere with Golden Harvest Films at critical moments.

Lin Zhichao intervened in the content of Golden Harvest Movies because he did not want New Art City to be too arrogant. In addition to poaching Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng from the Seven Monsters, he also tightly gathered Xu Guanjie. At the same time, the "Swordsman" trilogy was originally produced by New Art City, as well as the follow-up "A Better Tomorrow" and so on.

These movies are actually movies that impressed Lin Zhichao deeply, so I just picked them up at that time.

Afterwards, Lin Zhichao chatted directly with Lin Qingxia on the sidelines, not shying away from anything!

Lin Zhichao laughed and said: "Just come out and have fun, don't get addicted to filming!"

Lin Qingxia immediately said coquettishly: "I don't want to get addicted. It's very hard to shoot this movie, and it has to be very dirty! You know, I used to shoot love movies."

She poured out the bitter water!

It's true, after all, this is transformation.

In her previous life, Lin Qingxia was also quite resistant when filming this drama. However, after filming this martial arts film, he shot ten consecutive martial arts films, such as "The Six-Fingered Piano Demon", "Sword Laughter", "The Deer and the Cauldron", etc., and almost all of them were rejected, except for "The Deer and the Cauldron" with Stephen Chow.

Lin Zhichao said: "Then just cancel it!"

Lin Qingxia quickly said: "No! Since you want me to play the role of Dongfang Invincible, I must play it seriously!"

Everything is just to satisfy this man's interest! But, she must do it well.

Lin Zhichao said: "Well, I believe it will definitely become a classic!"

Lin Qingxia said mischievously: "You are the one who appointed this "Swordsman". If it doesn't succeed, I will definitely find you. And the first part is very successful. If the second part doesn't succeed, I will be embarrassed."

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "If it doesn't succeed, I can agree to any request you have that I can make!"

Lin Qingxia's beautiful eyes lit up, and then she whispered: "I don't expect it, you are so powerful!"

Lin Zhichao laughed "haha" a few times, attracting the attention of many people, and he also left the scene in time.

Golden Harvest Films has made a lot of money over the years, but much of it has been invested in theater chains (including properties) throughout Asia. If these properties are sold in the future, the figures will be astronomical.

As for Golden Harvest Cinema, the ownership actually belongs to the media group because it is being developed as a whole. About half of the area has been used to build the future headquarters of Asia Television since 1979; and the other half has been used to build studios that imitate ancient Chinese buildings and Jiahe.

A full area of ​​650,000 square feet will be shared by Asia Television and Golden Harvest in the future.

In the evening, Lin Zhichao came to the townhouse in Repulse Bay and had dinner with Zhao Yazhi, Lin Qingxia, and Guan Jiahui.

This place has become his second home, and he always comes two or three times a week. Zhao Yazhi gave birth to another son for him. She usually speculated in real estate and stocks, and of course she invested under the guidance of Lin Zhichao.

During dinner, Lin Zhichao said: "Tomorrow, I will transfer another 50 million Hong Kong dollars to each of you. You will arrange for an investment company to acquire the shares of Hong Kong Electric and try to complete it in half a month."

The three women had different expressions. Guan Jiahui was overjoyed, Lin Qingxia was curious, and Zhao Yazhi was calm.

Zhao Yazhi asked: "Why are you giving us money again? Didn't you say that you won't give it to us in the future and will only teach them how to invest?"

At this time, both she and Lin Qingxia were worth around 150 million Hong Kong dollars, and almost all of them had US dollar accounts. Guan Jiahui is a little worse, with a net worth of less than 50 million Hong Kong dollars.

Lin Zhichao said: "There happens to be this investment project, and you all have US dollar accounts, so it saves you trouble! But I just want to talk to you about something today. I want you to immigrate in the future. Of course, I am not saying that you will not be allowed to live in Hong Kong, but I want you and your children to obtain overseas status. The reason is very simple. If your wealth reaches a certain level, Hong Kong will seem too small, so I hope you will go abroad to develop your career so that your children can inherit the local business in the future. Of course, everything is possible I’ll plan it for you.”

Don't put all your eggs in one basket, this is Lin Zhichao's style.

Lin Qingxia had a love brain attack and first asked: "You won't abandon us overseas, will you?"

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "My legs are on you. Hong Kong will not come back anytime. To put it simply, your current wealth is only 100 million, but it will be more than 10 billion in the future, so I need your children to immigrate to Singapore, the United States, and Canada." , become a branch of the family and develop business locally." He explained patiently.

The three women were stunned. Guan Jiahui seemed to be frightened and said, "Ten billions?"

Lin Zhichao laughed. Fortunately, he didn't say hundreds of billions, otherwise these women would be scared to death.

This is not difficult for him. After all, it is just a matter of investing in some stocks. For Lin Zhichao now, making money is just a matter of a few words.

To be honest, if he didn't consider "strength must match wealth", he could retire and just make money in the financial market and do long-term investment in finance.

However, Lin Zhichao understands that if his family wants to truly prosper, it needs to be supported by industry and protected by influential connections. Therefore, this is why he wants to develop listed companies.

"I'm talking about the future! No matter what you say, you will have children for me. It's impossible for me not to think about their future. Therefore, I will increase your wealth in the future, although it will not be as powerful as the main wife. But at least I won’t treat you badly. If you immigrate overseas, I can guide you to invest locally. When your children grow up, you will also become a wealthy local family."

The three women were quickly convinced by Lin Zhichao!

Zhao Yazhi plans to immigrate to Singapore, Lin Qingxia immigrate to the United States, and Guan Jiahui immigrate to Canada. Of course, their immigration is only to go through the formalities and make a small amount of investment locally, and they will still live in Hong Kong for the time being.

Late at night, after the children have gone to bed, the adults have arrived in Paradise.

This is a large bedroom, about five to six hundred square feet. Lin Zhichao is lying on the bed with a book in his hand.

In fact, at this time, while he was looking forward to it, he did not forget to read. He has a wide range of interests, but he just doesn't like to read financial books because he feels there is no need to read any company's financial statements or financial expertise, and he doesn't need any of these.

For example, Home Depot in the United States went public last year with a market value of just over US$200 million, but Lin Zhichao did not hesitate to let the family office purchase 1% of the shares. Because this kind of enterprise that Lin Zhichao is familiar with will have a market value of tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions of dollars in the future, and Home Depot has a market value of hundreds of billions.

Not counting the dividends over the years, Lin Zhichao's stock market value alone can increase a thousand times in the next 40 years. Is there any better investment?

Just when he was having wild thoughts, Zhao Yazhi, Lin Qingxia, and Guan Jiahui walked in together.

Lin Zhichao's eyes lit up. Today was in ancient costume, while Guan Jiahui was in Republican costume.

Obviously, Lin Zhichao also likes to play COSPLAY!

At this time, in his heart, he regarded Zhao Yazhi as the 'White Snake', Lin Qingxia as the 'Invincible Dongfang', and Guan Jiahui as the 'Thirteenth Aunt'. Unfortunately, it is impossible for Zhao Yazhi and Guan Jiahui to act because they have never been exposed to acting. Now it has never been possible and it is obviously impossible.

How different is Lin Qingxia, who has acted in ten movies before she retired!

Now that I'm making a comeback, although it's a change of style, it's not very difficult.

"Husband, the three of us have all learned classical dance. We asked a famous teacher to teach us!" Zhao Yazhi said eagerly.

So cool!

In order to please this man, these women will learn a lot!

"Permission!" Lin Zhichao waved his hand and said domineeringly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The three girls played the music they had prepared and danced on the 'dance floor', and soon the room looked like a fairyland on earth.

Lin Zhichao picked up the red wine glass on the bedside table and took a sip with admiration in his eyes.

This night, Lin Zhichao became the emperor of the world again.

The three girls are all more beautiful than in their previous lives, especially Guan Jiahui because they were developed earlier. In Lin Zhichao's mind, they actually don't need to repeat the same path of their previous life - filming, in order to find the feeling. After all, the feeling of the previous life was already imprinted on Lin Zhichao's mind.
