Chapter 532: The Long Wait
Chapter 532: The Long Wait
At around 2 p.m., two cars stopped in front of the Kumho Film Company building in downtown Hong Kong, the door opened, and Tong Tong and Luo Ning, accompanied by a middle-aged fat man with a big belly, stepped into the door.
"Director Huo, is this building the assets of Kumho Film Company?" Luo Ning asked quietly. To be able to have such a large office building in the heart of Hong Kong, where every inch of land is at a premium, is a reflection of the company's strength.
The middle-aged fat man known as Director Huo smiled and said: "Luo Shao, this building originally belonged to the Guo Shipping Group Company, and Kumho Film Company has been working here since its establishment. Originally, they only occupied three floors, but now, the entire building is completely used as the office space of Kumho Film Company. As for the ownership, it is not known whether it is still owned by Kuok's Shipping Group or Kumho Film Company. ”
Luo Ning nodded, the famous name of the Kwok's Shipping Group Company, it is naturally impossible for him not to know, with the assets of the Kwok's Shipping Group Company, it is not surprising to have such assets in Hong Kong.
"Director Huo, how much is this building worth in Hong Kong?" Tong Tong whispered enviously.
"It's hard to say, but even if it's small, it's hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars," Director Huo said in the same low voice.
"Hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars," Tong Tong whispered. The value of this building is equivalent to the annual gross domestic product of some impoverished counties in the interior
"Excuse me, three, if you need me to serve you?" The front desk lady asked actively.
"I'm Huo Jun from the Hong Kong office of the Huaxia Film Association, we have made an appointment with your company, and we will visit your company this afternoon. Huo Jun said politely.
"Please wait over there, I need to check the appointment status of several people," the front desk lady said politely.
Huo Jun and the three of them sat on the sofa seat in the corner of the hall, and their own service staff brought them tea.
"Luo Shao, have you both watched "Terminator 2", what do you think?" Huo Jun asked casually.
"I think there's racism in Terminator 2," Tong said.
"Racism?" Huo Jun and Luo Ning exclaimed in unison. This is a rather serious political hat that is not tolerated by the mainstream view of the international community.
"Of course, that's how it was played in the movie, as the birth of the disaster, the development of the Skynet system was developed by a black scientist who was not a bad person, and it was obviously a deliberate design to blame the disaster on the black people. Although the scientist finally realized his mistake and bravely took on the task of destroying the Skynet system, and took his life for it. But this does not deny that in the film, there is a sense of discrimination against blacks"
"Sister Tong, if you think so, I'm afraid you won't be recognized by most people. I think that in the design of the movie "Terminator 2", the developer of the Skynet system is set as a black scientist, which is an affirmation of black wisdom. There is no good or bad science itself, and it is used in the right way, that is, for the benefit of mankind; If it is used in crooked ways, it will bring disaster to mankind. But whether it's good or bad depends on who uses it," Luo Ning shook his head.
"You want to go against me," Tong Tong glared at Luo Ning dissatisfied, thinking. She also found out that Luo Ning seems to like to quarrel with herself these days, she talks about things and he talks west, and she wants him to beat the dog and scold the chicken, which is quite different from when they first met.
"Director Huo, I think "Terminator 2" is called a blockbuster, which can be said to be well-deserved. One of the highlights is the battle between Schwarzenegger and the T-1000, whether it is the chase scene in the opening to protect Connor, the fight to save the salad in the hospital, and the decisive battle of zuihou, several passages are extremely impressive. Hey, if you don't watch it, I really don't know, other Hollywood movies can actually make fake ones to that extent, it looks like it's real" Luo Ning directly ignored Tong Tong's dissatisfaction and continued to talk to Huo Jundao. He wished that Tong Tong felt that he was not good, and he and his family would refuse this marriage in the future. He can't afford such a wife
"I think Riescherzenegger played it very well, from the initial robot to the later humanized image, you can see a clear change." Tong Tong interjected.
Huo Jun Haha said with a smile: "The total box office of "Terminator 2" in Hong Kong has exceeded 35 million Hong Kong dollars, and the North American box office has reached 70 million US dollars. I believe the two of you also know that this time Kumho Film Company and China Film Group reached an agreement to introduce "Terminator 2" for 30 million yuan to be screened nationwide, which is a major event in our national film industry. Hey, the mainland film market really needs big-budget movies like "Terminator 2" to boost popularity."
Luo Ning and Tong Tong glanced at each other, and they already understood in their hearts that the reason why Huo Jun mentioned "Terminator 2" was for the sake of Zuihou's sentence, implying that this cooperation with Kumho Film Company is of great significance to China Film Group, so there is no room for loss.
"Isn't it money? Hmph, the introduction of 30 million yuan will definitely make a lot of money in the end. It was because I was worried that the cooked duck would fly, so I turned around to remind us" Tong Tong said dissatisfied.
Huo Jun looked at Luo Ning and Tong Tong without changing his face, he believed that the meaning of what he had just said, these two had already understood. He also had to do this, and he had heard about what Tong Tong had done in Hong Kong in the past few days. This girl from the deputy director of the capital has a big temper, which is quite rare.
With her status and status, if it is said to be an ordinary Hong Kong citizen, even if it is a stabbing of Lou Zi, it is not a big deal, and the Hong Kong police station will generally look at the face of the mainland government and turn a blind eye. But what I want to see today is Yu Qiuxuan, the daughter-in-law of the Guo family, the eldest daughter of the Yu family, the head of Kumho Group and Kumho Film Company, who has great influence in Hong Kong. Yu Qiuxuan doesn't care who the second generation of officials you are, unless you are the descendants of Politburo members, otherwise, with the energy of the Guo family, there is nothing to be afraid of. At that time, if you don't do it yourself, you will be implicated. For the sake of his own happy life, he had to remind these two officials and the second generation.
The three of them sat in the corner of the hall, and twenty minutes passed, and they still did not hear an answer from the front desk lady. Huo Jun stood up and came to the front desk to ask softly.
"I'm sorry sir, we are looking for an appointment registration, please wait patiently over there, I found it, we will notify you as soon as possible" The front desk lady replied politely, and Huo Jun had nothing to say.
"Director Huo, what's going on?" Ronin was a little strange.
"They said they couldn't find our appointment registration, and now they're looking for it." Huo Jun said a little depressedly, "It's strange, even if you can't find the appointment registration, just call and ask the relevant people, you can't go all the way to the dark, right?" ”
"Director Huo, who did you contact in the first place? Just call him and ask him to come down and pick him up," Tong Tong said impatiently.
Huo Jun turned around and returned to the front desk, and after a while, he walked back with a surprised face. The few people he contacted were not in the office, and none of them responded to their pagers, which made Huo Jun feel a little strange. Nothing like this has ever happened before. In the morning, he also confirmed that the reception staff at Kumho Film Company was not like this at that time.
"It's not in the office, and there is no one to pick up the pager, so wait," Huo Jun said helplessly. He didn't understand what was going on, how a simple thing had developed into this, which he had already said
The three of them waited in a corner of the hall for a full hour and a half, until Huo Jun and the others were very annoyed, and the front desk lady told them that they had found an appointment to register, and invited them to go up to the small conference room on the top floor.
The three of them went up to the top floor, and as soon as they got out of the elevator, a service staff came over, led them to the small conference room, and brought them tea and desserts in time. The anger of the three of them couldn't help but disappear a lot, maybe it was the mistake of the front desk staff, right?
But ten minutes passed quickly, but Yu Qiuxuan was not seen at all.
Twenty minutes, thirty minutes, the three of them saw that the sun outside the window had set in the west, but they had not yet seen Yu Qiuxuan appear. Huo Jun had already gone out to inquire no less than five times, and the service staff was very polite, but he didn't urge him anyway. Huo Jun felt helpless. At this point, there is no point in talking about visiting. It seems that this afternoon has come in vain. Huo Jun is also a little puzzled, in the past year, he has dealt with Kumho Film Company a lot, and he has never received such treatment?
"Director Huo, since that's the case, let's go, why waste all your time here Hmph, it's really a big shelf" Tong Tong was already impatient. In the capital, it is often others who wait for her, why has she waited for others for such a long time?
Before Tong Tong's voice fell, the door of the small conference room was suddenly pushed open, and then several people walked in, led by Yu Qiuxuan
