We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

"I heard you were having lunch in the cafeteria just now?" Su Cheng asked with a smile.

"Yes, but I had just gotten my food in the cafeteria and hadn't eaten much when the teacher from the artist training class found me and said someone was looking for me, so I came straight here."

Only then did Cherie Chung realize that she was still at the company, and in the general manager's office, so she慌乱 hastily left Su Cheng's embrace.

"I heard from General Manager Liang that you don't have any filming scheduled for this afternoon. Ask the artist training class for a leave, and I'll take you out to play," Su Cheng said directly.

"Okay, I'll follow the boss's arrangements. I'll go ask for leave right away." Cherie Chung didn't hesitate at all. She hadn't seen Su Cheng for over a week, and she missed him very much.

Now that Su Cheng was taking her out to play, even if the artist training was important, it was secondary.

"No need to trouble yourself so much. Just call the training class from here," Su Cheng said, pointing to the phone on the desk.

There was a company phone directory on the desk, so finding the phone number wasn't difficult at all. There would be someone on duty at the training class even during lunch.

"Okay." Cherie Chung didn't say much, and simply listened to Su Cheng. She found the duty phone number for the training class in the directory and called to have them record her leave.

"Let's go. I haven't had lunch yet. I'll take you to Yau Ma Tei for some delicious food," Su Cheng said with a smile after seeing Cherie Chung settle the leave issue.

Even with Su Cheng as her backer, Cherie Chung still had to abide by the company's rules and regulations, which Su Cheng didn't think was wrong.

After Su Cheng closed the door to the general manager's office, the two of them left the CTV Building one after the other.

In the car, Su Cheng asked, "Have you been busy lately?"

"Yes, boss. Currently, our 'A Step into the Past' crew and 'My Date with a Vampire' crew are speeding up the filming schedule, so we even have to work overtime on weekends," Cherie Chung said, sitting next to Su Cheng.

"That must be tiring for you," Su Cheng said with a smile.

"Not at all, boss. I quite like this feeling of being busy, and I can also learn a lot of things during filming that I can't learn in training class. I play Wang Zhenzhen, an elementary school teacher, in 'My Date with a Vampire', so I have a lot of scenes." Speaking of this, Cherie Chung didn't feel any sense of complaint at all.

Wang Zhenzhen is one of the female lead characters in 'My Date with a Vampire'. In the first season of 'My Date with a Vampire', she is tied with Ma Xiaoling as the female lead, so naturally, she has a lot of scenes.

Being able to play the female lead is an opportunity in itself, and Cherie Chung naturally cherishes this opportunity very much.

Su Cheng nodded. No wonder Cherie Chung had been so busy lately. She was already one of the female leads in 'A Step into the Past', and now she was also one of the female leads in 'My Date with a Vampire', so naturally she was busy.

Moreover, in order to compete with the other two television stations, CTV had to speed up the filming schedule, so both crews had embarked on the path of working overtime.

Being selected again to play an important role in 'My Date with a Vampire' was not only because of Su Cheng's influence, but also because Cherie Chung had been recognized for her performance in 'A Step into the Past'.

Cherie Chung's talent was simply too strong.

She seemed to be born to do this.

Not only was she beautiful, but her acting skills were also very talented.

After 'A Step into the Past' was broadcast, the company's research department discovered that the character Shan Rou, played by Cherie Chung, had actually become the most popular female lead in the drama.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the 'My Date with a Vampire' crew finally selected her as one of the female leads in the drama.

Although she wasn't playing Ma Xiaoling, Wang Zhenzhen was also a very important female lead, almost running through all the plots of the first season.

After having a romantic lunch with Cherie Chung in Yau Ma Tei, and taking her shopping in the Mong Kok business district for over an hour, Su Cheng took her back to the villa.

Since she had taken a leave, she naturally didn't need to go to the company in the afternoon.

Back at the villa, even in broad daylight, the two of them, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, couldn't resist the loneliness and played a game between lovers.

Two hours later, Su Cheng got up comfortably and put on his clothes. He sat on a recliner on the terrace and had the maid bring him a glass of iced milk tea.

Cherie Chung put on her clothes, tidied up her messy hair, and walked behind Su Cheng to massage his shoulders.

Cherie Chung, after the passion, exuded a charming charm.

Su Cheng comfortably closed his eyes and enjoyed it all.

This life of the rich is so comfortable!

After a long while, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to tell Liang Shuyi something, so he got up and returned to the living room and called the CTV General Manager's office.

"Hello, this is Liang Shuyi."

According to the original history, TVB's screenwriters would begin writing the script for 'The Bund' next year, and it would premiere on March 10, 1980.

And now it was already the end of August in 1978, almost September, so if it wasn't filmed soon, it would be embarrassing.

Su Cheng naturally didn't want to miss this drama, it was a big IP.

After 'The Bund' was broadcast, it became popular throughout the Chinese-speaking world, and then 'The Bund Sequel' and 'The Bund - Shanghai Godfather' were created;

And in terms of movies, TVB re-edited the classic 1980s drama 'The Bund' into two films, 'The Bund' and 'The Bund Sequel', which were once again loved by the audience.

Later, Stephen Chow's 'God of Gamblers II' even used the time travel to 'The Bund' as the background, because 'The Bund' IP was too popular.

"Okay, I'll put the filming of 'The Bund' at the very front." Although Liang Shuyi had doubts about why the boss insisted on filming 'The Bund' first, she didn't ask much.

She had read the script for 'The Bund' in the afternoon, and the content was really very attractive.

"Regarding the director, I suggest that Zhao Zhenqiang and Tan Ruiming direct it together. As for the actors, Chow Yun-fat should play Xu Wenqiang, Angie Chiu should play Feng Chengcheng, and Ray Lui should play Ding Li," Su Cheng said directly.

Su Cheng couldn't imagine what 'The Bund' would be like without Chow Yun-fat. What if it was a flop?

This was a lasting big IP, and it couldn't be ruined casually.

"Boss, they are all people from TVB. I have already contacted Chow Yun-fat and Angie Chiu privately and have made some progress recently. I haven't contacted the others, but I will find someone to poach them as soon as possible," Liang Shuyi reported.

The industry was so small, and there were only so many talents. Liang Shuyi naturally knew about Zhao Zhenqiang and Tan Ruiming's abilities.

Moreover, Liang Shuyi herself was the original program director of TVB, and she knew more about the people there than others.

Therefore, Liang Shuyi didn't dislike Su Cheng's suggestion to have these people film 'The Bund', but rather agreed with it very much.

No one couldn't be poached. If they couldn't be poached, it was because they weren't given enough money!

Therefore, Liang Shuyi didn't have a trace of worry about whether they could be poached.

She and these people had worked together before, and everyone knew each other, which made it easier to poach them.
