We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

July was a particularly lively month for the Hong Kong news scene.

Whether it was the hundred-million-dollar investment in the oil industry or the full acquisition of Jia Yi Television, both were hot topics for news reports.

The day after the Jia Yi acquisition was completed, all major news media in Hong Kong Island conducted in-depth coverage of the acquisition.

No one had expected that Su Cheng, the first Chinese Taipan to take over a British-funded bank in Hong Kong, would acquire a television station so quietly.

Moreover, the most troublesome clause for Jia Yi was easily resolved by him.

It should be known that "A Step into the Past" is definitely the most popular martial arts novel of the year, and also the novel with the most fans.

Although the "Knight-Errant Literature" newspaper seems to sell only about 100,000 copies a day, its fan base is actually several times larger than this.

After all, a newspaper is not read by only one person. After the book fans finish reading, they will let others read it, which leads to a very large fan base for "A Step into the Past," so large that it is impossible to estimate how many fans it has.

Now, hearing this news, how could the fans not be happy!

Jia Yi has previously filmed many martial arts dramas, such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," "The Return of the Condor Heroes," "碧血剑 (Bi Xue Jian)," "Snow Mountain Flying Fox," and so on.

The dramas they filmed are widely loved in Hong Kong.

Therefore, now that they hear the news that Jia Yi is filming the popular novel "A Step into the Past" again, how could everyone not be excited!

Many loyal fans are eagerly anticipating the early release of this drama.

However, setting up a production team, selecting actors, etc., all take time, so there's no need to rush.

Fortunately, Jia Yi has a particularly good foundation, with many actors, so setting up a production team and selecting actors won't take long.

Barker Road, the Su family villa.

At this time, Su Cheng was lying on the bed, and Cherie Chung was sitting on his back giving him a massage.

The little girl's strength was not great, and the massage strength for Su Cheng was just right, very comfortable.

"Now there is an opportunity to be an actress for you, would you like to give it a try?" Su Cheng turned over, and Cherie Chung accidentally fell into Su Cheng's arms.

"Boss, are you talking about 'A Step into the Past'? But I'm afraid I won't act well." Cherie Chung nestled in Su Cheng's arms, both eager to try and somewhat tangled.

"If you haven't tried, how do you know if you can do it? Moreover, as the saying goes, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. It's never enough to talk about it on paper. You have to practice it yourself to improve faster," Su Cheng said with a smile.

"Then what role can I play?" Cherie Chung asked curiously.

"How should I say, you are also my person, at least you have to play a female lead!" Su Cheng said with a smile.

In "A Step into the Past," there are four female leads, namely Wu Tingfang, Qin Qing, Shan Rou, and Zhao Qian.

Although Cherie Chung has no acting experience, it is not too much to give her one of the female leads.

After all, Cherie Chung has been with him for two or three months. Considering that she is so well-behaved, Su Cheng would feel bad if he didn't give her a female lead role.

Especially seeing her studying acting knowledge so hard during this period, it seems that she really wants to develop in the entertainment industry.

Su Cheng does not object to this.

Originally, Cherie Chung has the talent of an actress. If Su Cheng stops her, it would be a waste of her such good conditions.

Moreover, although Cherie Chung goes to develop in the entertainment industry, she is still Su Cheng's woman.

Who dares to have designs on his Su Cheng's woman? Are they tired of living?

Now in Hong Kong, even Bao Yugang and Sir Yue-Kong Pao do not dare to offend Su Cheng at will, let alone others.

"Ah, I can't play the female lead," Cherie Chung shook her head upon hearing this.

She really doesn't have this confidence. She herself is a newcomer without any experience. When Su Cheng asked her to participate, she thought that she would only play a supporting role at most. She didn't expect that he would directly let her play the female lead.

No matter how much she wants to enter the entertainment industry, she also knows her own weight.

"I said you can do it, you can do it. You'll get experience after filming more scenes. What are you afraid of? With me, the boss, backing you up, you can just do your job well," Su Cheng said with a pinch of her little face.

"Then I'll try," Cherie Chung finally mustered up the courage to say.

"I'll call and ask about the situation at Jia Yi first," Su Cheng said with a smile.

After speaking, Su Cheng got up and went to the phone and directly called the Jia Yi general manager's office.

The one who answered the phone was Leung Suk-Yee, the general manager of Jia Yi.

Hearing that the call was actually from her own boss, Leung Suk-Yee was a little surprised.

"How is the situation at Jia Yi?" Su Cheng asked.

The newest and fastest novel is at 6 9 bookstore!

Today is already August 1st. After two or three days, Jia Yi has returned to normal operation.

"Boss, Jia Yi is developing step by step according to the plan. Whether it is a new crew or a variety show, they are all being planned intensively. Before next month, our Jia Yi will be able to see results," Leung Suk-Yee said.

Su Cheng knew that this could not be rushed. It is very unrealistic to raise Jia Yi's ratings all at once.

"What's the situation with the 'A Step into the Past' crew?" Su Cheng continued to ask.

"The crew is already being built. The director has been confirmed to be Tsui Hark. The ratings of 'The Supreme Swordsman' he filmed this year are very good, and the audience's response is also very good, so we asked him to direct the TV series 'A Step into the Past.' As for the actors, they are currently being screened, and some actors have already been confirmed," Leung Suk-Yee said.

"Okay, I'll bring someone to the company later," Su Cheng said.

After hanging up the phone, Su Cheng directly took Cherie Chung to the Jia Yi Building.

Looking at Cherie Chung behind Su Cheng, Leung Suk-Yee was a little curious about what Su Cheng brought her here for.

However, Leung Suk-Yee had to admit that the girl in front of her was indeed very handsome. In terms of appearance, there was almost no one in Jia Yi Television who could compare with her. She was a material for being an actress.

"Take me to the 'A Step into the Past' crew," Su Cheng said directly.

"The crew's temporary office is on the 6th floor. I'll take you there now," Leung Suk-Yee nodded.

Su Cheng and Cherie Chung followed Leung Suk-Yee in the elevator and went directly to the 6th floor.

At this time, in an office of about 100 square meters on the sixth floor, the words "'A Step into the Past' Crew Office" were posted on the door.

Inside, there were more than a dozen people busy.

The appearance of Su Cheng and Leung Suk-Yee immediately caused everyone inside to shift their attention to them.

"Boss, good afternoon, General Manager Leung," everyone greeted them.

Su Cheng recognized the young director Tsui Hark at a glance.

In Su Cheng's previous life, this was a big shot in the director industry, having filmed countless classic works, such as "The Battle at Lake Changjin," "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back," "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate," and so on.

At this time, he could only be regarded as a rising star in the director industry, but his ability was not bad at all.

And Tsui Hark also stood up excitedly and came to Su Cheng and introduced himself: "Hello, Boss, I am Tsui Hark, the director of 'A Step into the Past.'"

The main reason why Tsui Hark was so excited was that the author of "A Step into the Past" that they were going to film this time was Su Cheng in front of him.

These were almost no longer secrets among the senior management of the TV station, and Tsui Hark, as the director, was naturally informed of who its author was.
