Chapter 407 Liu Jinshui was crushed by Zhou Dongyu's acting skills
Everyone gathered together to chat.

I don't know who started it, but it gradually turned into a grievance meeting.

Some people say that this year's stock market has experienced huge ups and downs, which makes everyone confused.

In the past, when there were landlords’ associations, everyone could do as they pleased and make money in the stock market because of human manipulation.

Now that there are no landlords to control the situation, the stock market is a bit chaotic for the time being.

It is no longer possible to make money in the stock market with rock-steady confidence.

Some people not only did not make any money, but lost a lot of money instead.

"I heard that Uncle Xiang died of illness in there?"

"It's not just Uncle Xiang. Uncle Tong will die soon too. I heard someone broke Uncle Tong's leg in there. Uncle Tong wanted to be released on medical parole, but the higher-ups wouldn't approve it. Uncle Yun and the others were also often bullied in there."

Guo Youting knew more information because his "cousin-in-law" Luo Minsheng was also there, so he sneered:
"They all deserve it. There are many people imprisoned in Stanley. They have ruined their families and forced them to take desperate measures. They were so successful in manipulating the stock market back then. Now they have to endure some hardship as atonement."

The more we talk about this topic, the heavier it becomes.

Soon, everyone changed the topic.

Mr. Huang, who does electricity business in Hong Kong, smiled at Su Mingzhe and said:

"Ark and Guodian have reached an agreement to reduce prices. You are a big company, so at most you will make less money. It's a pity that small companies like us have been cheated and now we have to behave ourselves. Master Zhe, your Ark cannot be partial to one party over another. When are you going to supply us with electricity?"

Since last year, Guodian and Ark signed a new agreement, Ark sells electricity at only 0.25 yuan per kilowatt-hour.

Such low costs have enabled Guodian Corporation to develop strong competitiveness in the surrounding areas.

In Hong Kong, there were originally two power supply companies that monopolized the business, and prices were supplied according to market rules, with tiered charges.

But now, influenced by State Grid, the price has to be reduced to 50 cents per kilowatt-hour for civilian use and 80 cents per kilowatt-hour for industrial use.

"I'm afraid this won't work."

Su Mingzhe said with a guilty look on his face: "We have signed an exclusive supply agreement with Guodian. All electricity must be supplied to Guodian. If you want to import electricity from the mainland, you can only negotiate with Guodian."

After hearing this, Mr. Huang looked embarrassed and smiled awkwardly.

His original intention was actually to ask Su Mingzhe to help the Huang family negotiate with State Grid.

In the end, Su Mingzhe ignored what he said, and he was helpless.

Mr. Li next to him was also complaining at this moment. Some of his family's overseas investment industries were beginning to be targeted again.

This year alone, their family's business has lost tens of billions of dollars, and the money they earned from other places is not as much as the loss.

Among all the people present, only a few managed to maintain the upward trend.

Among them, several projects jointly undertaken by the Guo family, the He family, the Liu family and the Su family all made a lot of money.

At this time, everyone also wanted to ask if they could take a ride with Su Ji.

Su Mingzhe would not reject all of these requests, but he did not agree to them right away either.

The specific matters will definitely be discussed by the company's senior executives.

At a night party, everyone plays and has fun for a few hours, and when they get tired, they go home.

Su Mingzhe and Qiuya brought the child back to the Su Mansion. Qiuya couldn't help but tell the man about her situation with the female guest.

The conversation situation among the female guests was similar to that among the male guests.

Their respective family businesses were becoming increasingly difficult to do, and knowing that Su Ji was now very powerful, they wanted to come over and give him a hug.

Qiuya declined some of the requests on the grounds that she had been at home taking care of her children in recent years and did not know anything about business.

However, although Qiuya refused, she still had to tell the man about the matter when she returned home.

Su Mingzhe asked who the women were, and after finalizing a list, he let the matter go.

The next day is Christmas.

"Soulmate" was released simultaneously in Hong Kong and mainland China.

Because of the sufficient pre-promotion, as soon as the movie was released, people immediately started discussing it online and giving it great reviews.

The most popular promotional point is that both heroines have naked scenes.

Moreover, both heroines gave their first screen kiss in this movie, as well as numerous close-up shots.

Su Mingzhe originally didn't want others to use his woman for publicity.

But since he filmed them, edited them and released them, he naturally couldn't stop netizens from spontaneously starting to discuss these topics.

Seeing that there was no way to reverse the situation, Su Mingzhe just ignored the matter.

In addition, Li Ansheng, played by Zhou Dongyu in "Soulmate", and Jingqiu in "Under the Hawthorn Tree" are girls with completely different personalities.

However, Zhou Dongyu was able to handle the role with ease and interpret it perfectly.

In this movie, Liu Jinshui was crushed by Zhou Dongyu.

With the popularity, coupled with the previous publicity and the festive atmosphere of Christmas, the box office on the first day in Hong Kong was over 5 million, and the box office on the first day in mainland China was over 20 million, totaling 30 million.

This number is already remarkable.

After all, the entire filming cost was only over 20 million yuan, and the publicity cost was only over 10 million yuan.

At this box office rate, I will make back my investment in two days.

The sudden popularity of "Soulmate" exceeded everyone's expectations.

The acting skills of the two female leads, Zhou Dongyu and Liu Jinshui, were directly evaluated as "explosive".

Of course, Liu Jinshui knew that the reason why his acting skills were so good was because Su Mingzhe hired a teacher from Beijing Film Academy to teach him for more than half a year, which led to this effect.

Zhou Dongyu's explosive acting skills are a true gift.

Liu Jinshui recalled how Zhou Dongyu could get into the acting state anytime and anywhere on the set. Looking back now, he really feels ashamed of himself.

Regardless of what Liu Jinshui thought, the box office of "July and Ansheng" continued to rise. By New Year's Day, it had been released for a full week.

The total box office of the movie in Hong Kong and the Mainland has reached 2300 million, of which the box office in Hong Kong has exceeded million. This result is almost catching up with the third place of million.

Everyone has already predicted that "Summer 28" will definitely be among the top three films of the year in Hong Kong.

It depends on how "Soulmate" performs at the mainland box office.

A miracle occurred in the mainland box office this year. "Avatar" was far ahead with a box office of 13 billion yuan, shocking all the bigwigs in the film industry.

Cameron proved himself once again and gave countless filmmakers confidence in the film industry.

At the same time, domestic films such as "Bullets Fly" and "Earthquake" also achieved impressive box office results, reaching a new record of more than 600 million yuan for domestic films.

Su Mingzhe didn't dare to expect too much. As long as "Soulmate" could reach more than 200 million and enter the top ten of the year, it would be enough.

The box office figures for the second week were soon released, and compared to the first week, they were directly halved to only 70 million.

However, at this time, the total box office of the movie still reached 220 million, of which more than 30 million was in Hong Kong and 190 million was in the mainland.

The box office has plummeted, and the canvas and screening rates will definitely be reduced.

In the end, only Su Ji Entertainment’s own theaters were still showing the film.

Finally, thanks to Su Mingzhe's persistence, the film continued to be shown in its own theaters for more than a month.

I made it through Valentine's Day 2011 before I finished painting.

The total box office in Hong Kong was just over 40 million, ranking second in the year.

The total box office in mainland China reached 230 million, ranking among the top ten of the year.

The combined box office revenue for the two locations totaled 270 million.

"This movie has been running for too long, and it's a bit like hooliganism."

Su Mingzhe actually doesn’t care about the box office. The energy he spends on the movie is enough for him to earn ten times or even a hundred times the box office revenue.

The reason why he attached so much importance to this movie was mainly because he wanted Liu Jinshui to fulfill her dream of becoming the best actress.

As spring arrives, film festivals around the world begin to select films from the previous year.

"Soulmate" was favored by many film festival judges because it was labeled as a "youthful love" film and contained multiple sentimental elements.

Su Mingzhe didn't even need to make any effort, as many film festivals nominated the two female protagonists of this movie for Best Actress.

However, double yolk eggs are rare.

In the end, Zhou Dongyu won six Best Actress awards for her superb acting skills, while Liu Jinshui only won three.

After this award-winning experience, Liu Jinshui was no longer so resistant to Su Mingzhe's arrangement.

In her opinion, as long as she can make good movies and one of her movies is better than ten of others, why should she make those shoddy movies?

By changing Liu Jinshui's mind, Su Mingzhe also gave himself a reassurance.

Liu Jinshui is so beautiful and she is filming outside every day, so Su Mingzhe is afraid that she will be bullied and taken advantage of.

If you are really bullied, even if you can get back at that time, your head will still be covered with green.

Liu Jinshui's matter was settled, and Su Mingzhe was able to focus on his work.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Spring Festival of 2013.

Su Mingzhe accompanied Qiuya and took the four children back to Xihong City to celebrate the New Year.

Qiuya's father is only 55 years old this year and doesn't want to retire yet.

Qiuya's mother could only stay in Xihong City with her man, and the old couple lived a simple life.

Because Qiuya has four children to take care of, she can only come back during the children's summer and winter vacations.

Qiuya's parents would rush to Hong Kong to visit their daughter and grandson during the Dragon Boat Festival, National Day and other holidays.

The family arrived in Xihong City and, as usual, visited relatives and friends.

Qiuya stayed at home with her child, chatting with her mother.

Su Mingzhe was driving a car sent by the branch company and wandering around the streets of Xihong City.

Fifteen years have passed since I left Xihong City in 98.

Xihong City has changed a lot.

The main urban area has expanded four or five times.

The asphalt roads are wide and tall buildings stand side by side.

Su Mingzhe drove around and felt that except for the lower population density than Hong Kong, other urban facilities were not much worse than Hong Kong.

The twelfth lunar month of winter.

People walking on the street were wearing thick down jackets.

It had just snowed, and the sunlight shone on the ground and reflected in the air, making today seem particularly sunny.

Everyone's face is flushed with joy, carrying the atmosphere of the new era.

Su Mingzhe saw a supermarket not far away and was about to turn in when suddenly a man carrying a basket of vegetables came towards his car with a crooked body.

There was a squeak.

Su Mingzhe stepped on the brakes and stopped the car steadily.

But the pedestrian seemed to be drunk, and the basket of vegetables in his hand was thrown directly into the air, and he himself bumped into the hood of Su Mingzhe's car.

Su Mingzhe looked at the familiar scene in front of him and suddenly remembered the plot in "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

"Shit, could it be that guy with gold-rimmed glasses who tried to scam me?"
