Chapter 145: Getting to the point
"Director Huo, I'm really sorry to bother you today. You even came to pick me up."

In the high-end business car, Wang Hao looked at Huo Wenxi who was sitting opposite him and smiled.

"No trouble! No trouble!" Huo Wenxi waved his hand, also smiling, "The main reason is that I also want to see what the new billion-dollar box office directors in the mainland look like."

"Then it looks like I'm going to disappoint Director Huo."

"No, no, now that I've seen the real person, I know what it means to be famous in person. Director Wang has achieved such great success at such a young age. He is truly a great talent!"

This gold medal agent is worthy of his career as a salesperson. Not only is he eloquent, but his every word and action is also warm and friendly. Coupled with his above-average looks, he can easily bring people closer.

After hearing her compliment, Wang Hao still smiled happily even though he knew that the other party was asking for something.

"Director Huo, thank you for the compliment. I heard that you are also a heroine and a top agent in Hong Kong. You have made Nicholas Tse, Joey Yung, Twins and others famous.

After meeting Director Huo today, I finally realized that successful people do have some extraordinary qualities. "

"Director Wang, you are really good at talking. You don't sound like a young person at all."

Huo Wenxi looked at the young Wang Hao in front of him, with a look of fondness in his eyes.

This liking doesn't mean that she has taken a fancy to a young and handsome director like Wang Hao and wants to have a sister-brother relationship with him, but it is the kind of excitement that a professional agent feels when he sees a new talent with potential.

As an experienced agent who has been working for more than ten years, when Huo Wenxi was in her twenties, she managed Nicholas Tse, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and then other young artists. Therefore, she knows very well what kind of people those young artists who have just entered the entertainment industry and have achieved certain results are like.

Pride, arrogance, arrogance, rudeness, indulgence, and debauchery are just small things. What's worse is that breaking the law and walking on the edge of the law is common.

Huo Wenxi couldn't remember how many young artists he had cleaned up over the years. Compared with those people, Wang Hao in front of him not only had outstanding looks, looking more like an actor than a director, but even his temperament and way of dealing with people revealed a sense of calmness, elegance and composure.

Huo Wenxi had only experienced a temperament similar to his in older successful entrepreneurs. That was the strong confidence bestowed upon a person by the accumulation of time and experience, and it was not something that young people could easily imitate.

'This is a successful person with real talent and knowledge, and he also has great ideals and ambitions and an indomitable will! '

Huo Wenxi looked at the young director in front of him, and suddenly this thought popped into his mind.

At the same time, she secretly decided that perhaps she should turn around and remind Mr. Yang that Director Wang was definitely not an ordinary person. If she made friends with him early on, she would definitely be able to reap good benefits.

Thinking this in his heart, the smile on Huo Wenxi's face became brighter.

However, she is experienced after all, and knows that one cannot rush into relationships, so she maintains a suitable distance in her friendliness, and does not make people feel that she is too flattering or annoying.

The business car accelerated, passed a series of busy streets, overtook congested traffic, and finally stopped at the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong where they were staying.

As one of the longest-running hotels in Hong Kong, The Peninsula Hotel has always been the first choice for many celebrities and politicians.

This time Wang Hao and his team came to Hong Kong to prepare for the crew. Since they had informed the foreign boss in advance, in order to show their hospitality, the corresponding accommodation matters were all arranged by Huo Wenxi. Wang Hao did not expect that the other party would arrange such a good hotel for him and his group.

"Director Wang, let me help you check in first."

Huo Wenxi smiled and led Wang Hao and the others into the lobby of the Peninsula Hotel. The white pillars inside supported the high dome, which was decorated with gorgeous lines, making it look particularly grand.

“The hotel here includes three meals a day, and our company also has cooperation with the hotel, so you can tell the hotel if you have any requirements.

In addition, our boss has a company meeting in the afternoon, so it is not convenient to receive you for the time being.

If you still have energy, I can accompany you to walk around. Although the natural scenery here in Hong Kong may not be as good as that in the mainland, the atmosphere of the market is still worth seeing. "

Huo Wenxi, who helped them complete the check-in procedures, handed the room cards to everyone and said to Wang Hao.

Wang Hao also laughed when he heard this.

“To be honest, I have never seen the street scenes of Hong Kong. I have only seen them in movies, but I am fascinated by them.

But we came to Hong Kong this time with a mission.

The production schedule for "Wushuang" is very tight, and it needs to be released during this year's National Day holiday, so if Director Huo has time this afternoon, why not help us contact the relevant supporting actors and hold a small audition at the Peninsula Hotel."

There are still quite a few Hong Kong actors needed for "Wushuang".

After all, part of this story takes place overseas and part of it takes place in Hong Kong.

Before coming here, Wang Hao had already sent the information about the roles that needed to be auditioned to the agency department, asking them to help contact the relevant artistes and arrange an approximate audition time.

So holding an audition in the afternoon wasn't too sudden.

Huo Wenxi also knew this, but she did not expect that Wang Hao and others would start working as soon as they landed. This was very much in line with the style of the filmmakers during the golden age of Hong Kong movies, where speed and efficiency were everything.

She herself was a person of decisive character, and after hearing what Wang Hao said, she did not say anything else. Instead, she started calling her subordinates in the company in front of him, asking them to notify the Hong Kong actors who had made appointments with her.

Everyone had a hearty lunch on the second floor of the Peninsula Hotel, cleaned up, and then got busy using the hotel's conference room.

As time passed, soon, new and old actors who often appeared in major film and television dramas in Hong Kong hurried into the Peninsula Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Liao Qizhi, Alex Fong, Luo Yingjun, Lam Ka Wah, Wu Ka Lung, Zhou Jiayi...

Many of these people are so-called golden supporting actors or familiar faces in Hong Kong film and television dramas. Some of the guests and waiters at the Peninsula Hotel recognized them and talked about it, speculating whether there was a film crew that was going to shoot here.

Shortly after that, they all saw these people walking out of the hotel, either with smiles on their faces or with expressionless faces.

Such a small audition that did not even alert the media ended quickly on the first day Wang Hao arrived in Hong Kong.

The efficiency was so high, on the one hand, because Wang Hao himself had the memory of the original "Wushuang", and he looked for actors based on the original movie, and naturally some were missed.

On the other hand, these Hong Kong actors themselves are very outstanding. Even though their acting skills cannot be said to be amazing, they are suitable as supporting roles.

After finishing the audition for the supporting role, Wang Hao met with Mr. Yang who had taken some time off the day after.

Speaking of this Yang Zong, he is a legendary figure. He was born in Hong Kong and achieved some success in business with the help of his parents when he was young.

Then he got involved in real estate, and after years of hard work, he developed a small shop into the large enterprise it is today.

His businesses not only cover hotels, banks, finance, real estate and other aspects, but he has also established his own entertainment empire, becoming one of the most prominent figures in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

Therefore, he was quite interested in meeting with senior people in the industry.

And President Yang did not disappoint his curiosity. The two met not in the office, but in a luxury villa in Repulse Bay.

There, Mr. Yang was wearing a loose plaid shirt, wide-leg jeans and sunglasses. He was obviously in his sixties, but he didn't look old at all. He was even sitting in a limited edition luxury convertible supercar, and it seemed that he had just run a few laps outside.

“Hahaha, I don’t have any other hobbies. I just like to wear nice clothes, drive nice cars, eat delicious food, and look at beautiful women after work.

Only when you enjoy life can life be meaningful, don’t you think so, Mr. Wang?

Seeing Wang Hao's surprised expression, Mr. Yang, who had just got off the car, walked up to him with a laugh and extended his right hand towards Wang Hao.

Seeing this, Wang Hao hurriedly took a few more steps, held the other person's skinny hand, and teased:

"Mr. Yang, this is a wise and insightful opinion. It is a warning for life. So when you see a good movie project, you invest immediately, right?"

President Yang smiled even more happily and reached out to pat Wang Hao's shoulder hard.

"The young man is very good. I originally did that project to help Huayi CEO Wang. I don't know much about movie scripts.

But when I heard Ah Xi talking about you yesterday, I knew this project was a good one. She is very good at judging people, and I rarely see her praise a young person so much."

"That's because you have a keen eye for talent and recruited Sister Wenxi to work with you early on."

As the two of them were talking, they had already walked to a small round table in the yard. Huo Wenxi also came over with a pot of tea and happened to hear their conversation.

"If you ask me, this is what true heroes do when they appreciate heroes. A big hero and a small hero, you guys praised each other for a long time without blushing."

Huo Wenxi joked while pouring tea for the two people who had just sat down.

"Director Wen, what you said is true. I dare not compare myself with Mr. Yang. After all, he is a senior who has been in the business world for many years and is also a leader in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. My career has just started, and it is hard to say what the future will be like."

Wang Hao nodded and took the tea handed over by Huo Wenxi, and said modestly.

The foreign boss who was drinking tea opposite waved his hand when he heard this.

"It's hypocritical for young people to be too modest.

You don't have to underestimate yourself. Didn't I start from a small business and work my way up step by step? Life is a process.

Moreover, Hong Kong as a whole is now on a downward trend. I often tell Wenxi and others that they should try to go out and not stick to this small place like Hong Kong, but should go and see more of the beautiful rivers and mountains of our motherland.

After all, the country is becoming richer and stronger, just like the rise of Hong Kong. We were the ones who took advantage of that trend.

So if you can grasp this trend, your future achievements will be limitless."

Wang Hao nodded in agreement when he heard this. He was indeed an old fox who had experienced many ups and downs but was still standing firm. He had a thorough understanding of things.

He was full of confidence in the development of his motherland because of his memory of the future, while he had insight into the rich opportunities hidden in the land of China because of his rich experience.

If he wasn't getting older and his spirit was fading, I'm afraid he would really take the initiative to go north and give it a try.

But that's hard to say. After all, it is said that this guy has a dirty trick. Maybe he still has some concerns about going north.

At this time, after hearing what President Yang said, Huo Wenxi smiled and joked to Wang Hao.

"We must not forget what Yangsheng said. Not long ago, I took the initiative to apply for a transfer to Shangjing to be responsible for the company's business in the mainland."

In this regard, I may have to rely on you, Mr. Wang, for your care. "

This meant that Huo Wenxi was to be sent ahead as the vanguard. Wang Hao was moved, but he was not surprised.

This foreign boss may be reluctant to leave his hometown, or he may have some concerns, but this does not mean that his company will be in trouble.

Just as he said, Hong Kong is in decline after all. If the company wants to maintain operations and continue to develop, external expansion has become a must.

However, the entertainment industry is a circle, and there are circles within circles, such as the Hong Kong circle, the Northwest circle, the Beijing circle, the Shanghai circle... There are still barriers between the circles.

If you want to settle in Beijing, it depends on whether the people in the Beijing circle agree.

Thinking of this, Wang Hao understood why President Yang and Huo Wenxi valued him so much.

After all, Wang Hao is not only extremely outstanding himself, but also a rising star in the Beijing circle, and has certain relationships with both the courtyard and academic schools in the Beijing circle.

With him as the middleman, the journey north might be smoother.

Now that he knew what he wanted, Wang Hao felt much more at ease and behaved more calmly.

It's good to have something to ask for. Having something to ask for proves that you are valuable, and then you have the capital for trading and room for operation.

If Galaxy Interactive Entertainment wants to go north, it may also want to go south and go overseas. There is absolutely room for more cooperation between the two parties.

The smile on Wang Hao's face became brighter and brighter. President Yang was also very amiable. The two foxes, one big and one small, chatted and laughed happily, talking about the company's management and interesting things in the entertainment industry. It seemed that both the host and the guests were having a great time.

At the same time, this also made Huo Wenxi look at Wang Hao with a higher opinion of him. Being able to be so calm and not at all restrained when meeting Mr. Yang for the first time was indeed something that many young people found difficult to do.
