The tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars that Shen Chong had just shocked the world. He did not intend to really use the money to buy Hutchison Whampoa shares. If he really bought it, there were investment companies in Hong Kong and he could buy it secretly. Why should he send it to his door and entrust HSBC?

In normal times, whether it is HSBC or Li Ka-shing, tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars are a piece of cake in their eyes. However, at the closing stage of Hutchison Whampoa's transaction, the tens of millions of dollars at this time will become important. If these funds suddenly pour into the stock market, they will definitely push up Hutchison Whampoa's share price and have an adverse impact on the transaction.

You should know that Li Ka-shing's acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa shares in HSBC is based on the performance of the outstanding shares. Even if the stock price only rises by one yuan, he will have to pay hundreds of millions of additional acquisition costs.

What's even more troublesome is that Hutchison Whampoa's stock price has risen sharply, which is likely to trigger various speculations, which reveals Li Ka-shing's acquisition intention.

With all this, Chen Chong's plan to fight Cheng Yaojin halfway through, perfectly achieved his goal...

On the third day of having dinner with Zou Wenhuai, Chen Chong met the big boss of HSBC Bank, Chen Bi and Li Ka-shing, at the Deepwater Bay Golf Course. The three of them had lunch together and then played golf together for two hours.

After this meeting, Chen Chong immediately transferred all his funds to buy gold futures.

Before he traveled through time, the international gold price plummeted, and the "Chinese aunties" became famous all over the world. Various reports about gold were overwhelming, and slightly in-depth reports all mentioned the past when the international gold price surged in 1979.

Starting in the summer of 1979, by the end of January 1980, gold prices soared, from $360 per ounce to $850 per ounce.

So after traveling through time, Chen Chong has been paying attention to the rise and fall of gold prices, and soon discovered clues - the Republican and Democratic Party in the United States were playing the trick of "debt ceiling" in 1979, which resulted in a "technical default" of US Treasury bonds due in April and May.

At the same time, hyperinflation occurred in the United States, with an inflation rate of up to 13%.

Thanks to various financial media in later generations, Chen Chong, a ignorant investment and financial management, also knows that in this case, it is absolutely right to buy gold.

But in the first few months of time travel, all the money was spent on the blade, and there was no spare money to tinker with gold futures. Now that I have money, I naturally have to brush it.

In the futures market, using hundreds of times leverage to sink tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars will double in a few months, which will allow him to enter the ranks of billionaires within a year and become a veritable rich man.

At this time, the gold price had already exceeded US$400 per ounce, but it was still far from the peak of US$850 per ounce. After the sunk and rushing, although it had achieved a little success, it was completely impossible to affect US inflation, so the gold price would definitely continue to rise, and there was no risk at all.

Shen Chong didn't understand how to do futures. He was not interested in the financial market, so he deposited all his funds into his account, chose the highest leverage, and then authorized Feliton to operate, only buying up, not buying down.

Dealing with Shen Bi and Li Ka-shing, he also struggled with gold futures, and spent several days of Shen Chong. When he came to his senses and wanted to concentrate on making movies, another telegram came, which made him finally understand that he had lost the opportunity to become a top film director - because time and energy were no longer something he could control.

The telegram, from the mainland, was sent by the Film Bureau of the Ministry of Culture, inviting him to go to Beijing in early October to attend the Fourth National Congress of Chinese Film Workers.

This was the first storm that his small wings flapped up in the mainland after the trip to Huangshan - if there was no trip to Huangshan, what qualifications would he be, a young Hong Kong man, have he been to attend a meeting of this level?

This will be, you have to go!

However, it is September 12th now. The shots I have taken in the past few days feel good. In less than ten minutes, the movie will definitely not be completed by the end of the month.

This made Chen Chong very sorry. As a movie lover, he watched his debut miscarriage... so sad.

It's better to find a professional to help...

As if it was God's will, Chen Chong walked out of the manager's office of Great Wall Film Studio with a telegram, and saw an acquaintance.

"Hey!" Chen Chong shouted, walked up quickly, and greeted: "Lao Fang, long time no see."

"A Chong is you, long time no see." This man was Fang Yuping. He looked at Chen Chong for a moment and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm about to ask you." Chen Chong asked the same sentence with a smile: "What are you doing here?"

"Mr. Fang is here to do drama business in the factory." Fu Qi, who sent Chen Chong out, answered for him, then pointed to the two of them and asked, "Do you know each other?"

"Old friend." Chen Chong patted Fang Yuping's shoulder and said, "Lao Fang is the first filmmaker I met."

"Where am I a filmmaker?" Fang Yuping smiled silly, pushed his glasses, and said, "I haven't made a movie."

"You are a master's degree in film from the University of Southern California. How can you say you are not a filmmaker?" Chen Chong said first, and then said goodbye to Fu Qi: "Uncle Fu, you are busy with yours. Lao Fang and I will gather together to chat."

"Okay, since you are good friends, I won't join in." Fu Qi waved his hand and turned back to the office.

"A Chong, are you very familiar with Manager Fu?"

"It's okay." Chen Chong put his shoulders on his back and said repeatedly: "Let's go, let's go, it's too hot here, go and sit there. Lao Fang, it's really a fate. I was just thinking about going to find you, but I saw it when I went out. Are you a coincidence?"

"What do you want me to do?"

"I'm looking for you to film a movie." Chen Chong let go of his hand and said, "I'm borrowing the Great Wall's set to shoot a movie, but I found that it was not that material, and the filming was not going well. I was thinking of finding you to be a teacher and teach me."

That's right, Fang Yuping is the ideal candidate for director in Chen Chong's heart.

Fang Yuping first studied in the Department of Communication at the Hong Kong Baptist Academy. In 1971, he went to the Department of Journalism at the University of Georgia in the United States to major in radio, television and film. In 1975, he obtained a master's degree in film production from the University of Southern California. Then he returned to Hong Kong to join the Hong Kong Radio and Television Department. He was promoted from assistant director to director and filmed some dramas in "Under the Lion Mountain". Among them, "Wild Kids" won the Best Young Director Award of the Asian Broadcasting Association in 1977.

Chen Chong heard that he had frequent contacts with left-wing film companies some time ago, but he didn't expect to have anything to do with Great Wall Film Company. However, judging by Fu Qi's words just now, Fang Yuping has not yet got the opportunity to be a director.

But this is not surprising. Although he has a very dazzling education and resume, he is not his own member of the left-wing film company and needs to be investigated...

He had a master's degree in film at the University of Southern California, and then he received the award of Best Director at the Academy Awards for three times. In addition, he has always loved the style of documentaries and realistic films. Whether it is strength or style, it is more in line with "Buried Live". It is a very good choice to let him co-direct it.

After arriving on the set, after introducing Fang Yuping to Jin Shijie and Huang Yuetai, Chen Chong briefly introduced the plot and shooting intentions with his hands and feet, and then asked with anticipation: "How about it, Lao Fang, are you interested in helping me?"

"I'll take a look first."

Fang Yuping did not rush to reply. He carefully checked the equipment and props, and then watched the script for a while. He asked Jin Shijie to make several performance clips, and then asked Chen Chong to watch the material footage shots before.

Although Great Wall is in financial difficulties, it has all the internal organs, including printing workshops and screening halls, so it doesn’t have to run around, which is very convenient. This is also one of the reasons why Chen Chong came to rent the set specially.

After spending more than an hour watching some quality cameras, Chen Chong couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?"

Fang Yuping looked at him with a look of wanting to speak but stopping.

"Lao Fang, what expression do you have?" Chen Chong slapped the seat and said, "I have something to say."

Fang Yuping is a kind person. Since Chen Chong asked him to say it directly, he said directly: "I think you are making a fool of yourself. You have no idea what you are shooting, nor do you know what you want to take."

Chen Chong was embarrassed, and he blew, touched his head, and said, "I feel this way, too."

"Just just for the appearance shot, you shot four or five groups from different angles." Fang Yuping shook his head straight and said, "This shows that you don't have a holistic concept of movies. You are not shooting movies, you are shooting cameras. Are you planning to combine them into movies after shooting the cameras like puzzles?"

"Yes, yes, haha." Chen Chong continued to beat him, and said convincedly: "Lao Fang, you really have you, you can see what I think at once."

"This is not possible. No matter how good the puzzle is, it cannot be considered art." Fang Yuping said: "After reading the script, you should have a unified concept of the overall style, atmosphere and picture texture of the movie. How to compose and how to arrange the depth of field, you should have a clear idea of ​​how to do it before shooting."

"I'm not a professional, I have no experience, I'm just tinkering with it." Chen Chong stood up and said, "Lao Fang, are you interested in this movie? You come to be a director and I'll be an apprentice for you."

"A Chong, to be honest, you have new ideas in this script." Fang Yuping also stood up, shook his head gently, and said, "But he was too deliberate to seek innovation and took a detached approach. It is not the authentic way that the movie should have. I don't like it very much."

Chen Chong was silent, and was amazed in his heart by Fang Yuping's keen movie intuition.

After he struggled with the script of "Buried Alive" for several months, he already realized that this novel and weird creativity is more suitable for making a short film or writing a novel rather than making a movie.

After all, such a large screen is for people to watch, not for listening. The core of the movie is vision, followed by hearing. The whole movie uses dialogue to promote the plot, which is obviously a waste of the foundation and the end.

"Lao Fang, why not." Chen Chong retreated and looked for the second best. "Have you had time recently? When you have time, come here to teach me and be a consultant. I took photos for more than ten days and got dizzy."
