189 [Rich Ball]
The next day, Ye Jin did not learn new dance steps, but kept practicing three dance steps.
As the saying goes, "All-of-all-goods are worse than just one move." Learning three dance steps is worse than learning all dance steps but dancing barely.
In the evening, Ye Jin changed his clothes and took a Rolls-Royce with Zou Wenhuai to the venue of the dance, the Peninsula Hotel.
"Mr. Zou, your car is so comfortable to ride." Ye Jin praised with a smile.
This is the first time he has been riding a Rolls-Royce. It is truly famous and it is really comfortable to ride.
Although his Porsche sports car is very good, it is still worse than the Rolls-Royce.
After all, one pursues excitement, the other pursues enjoyment.
"If Mr. Ye likes it, then I can give up." Zou Wenhuai said with a smile when he heard this.
A Rolls-Roz is only 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, and Ye Jin can bring tens of millions of profits to Jiahe by a movie. He is still willing to live with a car, which can be replaced by someone's loyalty.
"Oh, a gentleman doesn't take away the beauty of others, how can I steal Mr. Zou's love?" Ye Jin said with a smile.
Speaking of this Rolls-Royce, it was Bruce Lee's car at that time. In order to win over Bruce Lee, Zou Wenhuai not only gave him his love to drive, but also gave him all his villa. But after Bruce Lee's death, Zou Wenhuai not only took back the car, but also took back his house.
Therefore, Ye Jin would never want this car. He is now worth nearly 20 million Hong Kong dollars, so he can buy one by himself. It is really impossible to pick up such a third-hand product.
Zou Wenhuai also smiled and stopped mentioning this matter.
...
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the Peninsula Hotel.
Ye Jin and Zou Wenhuai got out of the car together and walked on the red carpet under the guidance of the concierge.
The red carpet is full of reporters from major media.
When they saw Ye Jin, they all became excited and asked loudly, "Mr. Ye, are you here to attend the party too?"
"Yes, Mr. Meng Zou's invitation, I'll open my eyes." Ye Jin nodded with a smile.
"Today is a charity fundraising party for Donghua Third Academy. Will you donate?" the reporter asked curiously again.
"Of course, charity can benefit the public and help people in need is a very meaningful cause. After becoming famous, I also hope to give back to the society to thank everyone for their support." Ye Jin smiled, "I happened to have this opportunity today, and I will do my best."
"Then how much are you going to donate?" another reporter asked curiously.
"This is kept confidential for the time being." Ye Jin smiled, "To be honest, I have no experience in attending such a grand event for the first time. So I have to ask Mr. Zou later on, how much money should be donated."
Seeing that he confessed so much, the reporters laughed.
"Mr. Ye, you are dressed so handsome today!" Another reporter praised.
"Thank you." Ye Jin nodded and smiled.
...
After the interview, Ye Jin and Zou Wenhuai walked across the red carpet and entered the banquet hall on the east side of the Peninsula Hotel.
I saw the lights inside were brightly decorated. On the left is the buffet area with wine and food; on the right is a band playing music. In the middle is a huge dance floor, but it is not dancing time at this moment, so it seems a little empty.
The guests were scattered around, in groups of three or five, chatting, and bursts of laughter and joy came from time to time.
And they are really exquisite. Men wear evening gowns and bow tie; ladies compete for beauty, not only wearing expensive gowns, but also wearing expensive jewelry, which looks magnificent and jewellery.
"There are so many celebrities." Ye Jin smiled.
As he saw alone, there were many famous gentlemen who often appeared in newspapers, such as the top wealthy people in Hong Kong, several senior officials in the Governor's Office, the respected Justice of the Peace, etc.
In addition, Ye Jin also met some female stars, such as Li Jing of Xiao, Tian Ni, Hu Yanni, etc., Jiahe's Yi Yi, Miao Kexiu, etc. Their dresses are shiny and full of bright light, adding infinite spring to this dance.
In short, the people who appear here are not rich but noble. To describe it in a poem, it is really [there are great scholars who talk and laugh, but no white people who come and go]. The only exception is those waiters.
"Don't worry, you are also a celebrity now." Zou Wenhuai smiled, "Twenty million Hong Kong dollars can barely gain a foothold here."
"Is it just a foothold?" Ye Jin sighed in his heart when he heard this.
His 20 million Hong Kong dollars is a wealth that most people cannot reach in their lifetime. However, at this rich dance party, he can only guarantee that he will not be bombed out.
The gap is so big that it is really different.
...
"Come on, I'll introduce you to a few friends." Zou Wenhuai smiled, then led Ye Jin around and introduced many celebrities and gentry.
Although Zou Wenhuai is just a movie tycoon, his business is far less grand than real estate, freight, textile industry, etc., but in the past two years, the movie market has been good, and the total box office of movies has been higher and higher every year.
In 1970, the total box office of Hong Kong movies was only 29 million Hong Kong dollars; in 1971, the total box office of the movies rose to 42 million Hong Kong dollars, an increase of 44%. In 1972, the total box office of the movies rose to 65 million Hong Kong dollars, an increase of 54%.
In 1973, Bruce Lee's sudden death caused a small downturn in the kung fu film. But even so, the total box office of the annual movie also rose to 70 million Hong Kong dollars, an increase of 8%.
This year, Ye Jin alone has contributed more than 16 million box office sales. The movie market is obviously much better than last year, and the increase is likely to be more than 10%.
Such a rapidly growing market is naturally a piece of fat meat that smells good and has a keen sense of business.
If possible, they want to share one.
Zou Wenhuai is a tycoon in Xiangjiang. He has theaters, sets, stars, and overseas distribution channels. He can basically avoid him if he wants to make movies.
Therefore, although Zou Wenhuai's business was not big enough, these rich people were very enthusiastic about him. He also loved Ye Jin and greeted him with a smile.
However, Ye Jin has learned to perform and knows that such smiles are all out of courteous smiles. They are like the eight teeth deliberately exposed by the waiter. Although they look good, they are not sincere.
Their eyes were still cold and they did not take Ye Jin seriously.
...
"Boss Zou, your company has been very prosperous recently. How about it? Take me some fun." Zhou Yukun, the boss of Hengfa Real Estate, said with a smile.
"Mr. Zhou is willing to invest, so that's the best thing." Zou Wenhuai said with a smile.
When running a film company, you only think that the money is small, not too much. As long as you are willing to pay, you dare to burn the money no matter how much money you have.
The cost of a movie in Jiahe now is about 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. In comparison, the cost of making movies in Hollywood is generally around one million US dollars, which is dozens of times the difference.
This is also the gap between Hong Kong films and Hollywood blockbusters. If you want to make up for it, you can only spend money and there is no other way.
