Chapter 196

"Brother, investing in a Hong Kong film crew? Isn't that just walking right into a trap to be fleeced?" Wang Zhonglei exclaimed. Wang Zhongjun sighed inwardly and said with a helpless expression, "We have no choice, we have to swallow this. If we don't appease her, she'll keep making a scene, and the trouble will be even bigger then. More importantly, we need to find directors from Hong Kong. It's uncertain whether Wang Ming's film will succeed or not, and even if it does, we can't rely solely on him. Zhang Tiancheng said something at the movie premiere earlier, and I think he was quite right: Rely on a mountain, and it falls; rely on people, and they run. We relied too much on Feng Xiaogang's films in the past, which is why Feng Xiaogang had the audacity to demand company shares. Aside from Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Tiancheng, and Zhang Yimou, there aren't any commercial directors in Mainland China. Cultivating new directors is far too risky, so we have no choice but to go to Hong Kong to find commercial directors. We'll throw money at first, build up connections in Hong Kong, and then win over the directors. As long as we secure three or four directors, we won't have to worry about the company descending into chaos, even if Feng Xiaogang leaves and Wang Ming's film bombs at the box office." Wang Zhonglei thought about it and realized his brother was right—they really did need to find directors from Hong Kong. "Then I'll go look into it."
