Chapter 8: Wang Zuxian

Qin Yuanfeng felt his blood vessels accelerating all over his body. He was not a fan of celebrities, but for Wang Zuxian and Lin Qingxia, they had transcended the realm of stars. What he pursued was the butterfly of his childhood dreams

He never considered financing, as he lacked any qualifications for it. Instead, he thought about collaboration, as there are many aspects of the film industry that electronic entertainment can learn from. Moreover, this is a part of the overall entertainment blueprint, and it is only a matter of time before there is an intersection with electronic entertainment. What he needs is to lay down this connection, but the other party is simply unwilling to give him the opportunity

She merely glanced at him and let out a soft sigh. This young man appeared to be about the same age as her, but how was he different from her classmates at the art school? Each of them believed that they would surely become a superstar upon debut, but what was the outcome?

No way! Qin Siyuan immediately rejected without a second thought: "Xiaofeng, don't use that capitalist approach. Shares are something that can cost you your head if mishandled. This kind of joke should not be taken lightly"

She sat in her seat, quietly savoring her milk tea, the serene and tranquil atmosphere enveloping the room like an invisible aura

Ah, how can this be? Siyuan has come all this way, and yet he leaves without even having a sip of tea. Another man also laughed and said, "It's not easy to host, you can't just run away."

The woman standing quietly before us, who shyly extends a hand, is none other than Nie Xiaoqian, played by Wang Zuxian, who has gained immense popularity this year through the film "A Chinese Ghost Story," becoming the dream goddess of the post-80s generation

He seemed to have overlooked something, only realizing it when he saw her

Wang Zuxian rose to fame in 1987 with "A Chinese Ghost Story," creating a storm of popularity across the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, Japan, Malaysia, and beyond. This phenomenon-level film can only be compared in Hong Kong's history to "Once Upon a Time in China" and the character of Dongfang Bubai portrayed by Lin Qingxia in 1992

If we were to ask who the goddesses in the hearts of those born in the 1980s are, many names would likely come to mind. During that time, Hong Kong cinema experienced a boom, with countless handsome men and beautiful women making their way to the big screen

Qin Yuanfeng realized after a moment's thought that private enterprises in contemporary China are exceedingly rare, and they must endure pressures from various quarters, particularly the fear of being labeled as having capitalist tendencies. Qin Siyuan's position is unique; if he were to claim that Qin Siyuan lent him money to start a company, the other party would likely face dire consequences upon returning to the military

Unexpectedly, Wang Zuxian merely smiled slightly and nodded.

In this place called Hong Kong, countless people dream every day, and countless others have their dreams shattered in the fragrant harbor.

"Director Qin's son, huh?" a man said with a smile, "Please, have a seat, have a seat. I have known your father for quite some time. Director Qin really is something; he didn't even mention that you are at the Science and Technology University. As a landlord, I haven't been very attentive. I have invited you for afternoon tea today."

He nodded slightly and said, "The money is limited, renting a company is definitely out of the question. You have also studied in Hong Kong for two years, and the cost of living here is much higher than on the mainland. At most, it would be enough for you to buy a few machines and hire a few people, what should we call it... a studio?"

"You all continue your discussion; I have matters to attend to and will take my leave first," Qin Siyuan said with a smile

"Young man, see the reality clearly. Only then can you go further," said Uncle Yu. "What I say may not be pleasant to hear, but I have seen too many young people whose ambitions are higher than the sky, yet their lives are as fragile as paper."

He turned to Wang Zuxian again, smiled, and said: "As for Miss Wang, you young people should communicate more with each other"

Thank you, Uncle Yu, I am not hungry

Qin Yuanfeng pondered and said, "Uncle, how about I calculate your shares?"

But young man, you only have 8,000 yuan on hand, right? With this amount of money, you think you can start a company?

The most critical factor is still you. Team Leader Yu pondered and said: You have just graduated from university, lacking qualifications, funds, connections, and management experience. To be frank, we cannot provide you with financing. However, under appropriate conditions, we can assist you a little, for instance, if you need to file a lawsuit, we can recommend a good legal team for you.

"Xiao Qin, what would you like to eat? Afternoon tea in Hong Kong is quite famous, so don't be shy; today, Uncle Yu is treating you." Team Leader Yu handed the menu on the table to Qin Yuanfeng, smiling as he said, "Back in the day, Mr. Xu and I were also on the mainland, and your father helped me out a bit. Now that you are in Hong Kong, naturally, we, the older generation, cannot let you suffer any losses."

He casually ordered a cup of milk tea, and a few people began to chat comfortably, while only Wang Zuxian, gentle as the lake water, quietly savored her tea beside them

It was certainly not a Western restaurant, but rather a tea restaurant. Qin Siyuan spoke to the waiter a couple of times and was soon taken to the private room

She wore a qipao that seemed like a layer of feathers adhering to her body, with gently arched brows and tranquil eyes resembling a serene lake. Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall of black, casually draped, held back by a hairband, as she quietly held a cup of coffee, resembling a languid little cat

Wang Zuxian's gaze subtly swept over Qin Yuanfeng, and only then did she realize that he was yet another young man lost in his dreams

To speak frankly, the enthusiasm that had just been on Xu Shu's face vanished without a trace: "It is indeed difficult for us to refuse your father's request, after all, he has been kind to me in the past. However, I see no connection between movies and games."

The selection of books has become increasingly limited.

Qin Yuanfeng casually shook his head: "Gentlemen, you need not rush to deny it. If I were your age, and a person in their early twenties were to speak to you about cooperation, I too would not believe it."

A few friends. Qin Siyuan smiled mysteriously: "After all, my uncle holds a certain position in the Guangzhou Military Region, and across the river, I know some people in Hong Kong. Perhaps I can be of assistance to you."

He attempted to bring it up several times, but was deflected by the other party each time. He immediately understood that these two individuals before him were likely compelled to be present due to their emotional ties, yet they absolutely harbored not a shred of support for his ideas

These two individuals are not worth lamenting. While Qin Yuanfeng engages with them in a superficial manner, his gaze frequently drifts towards the corner where Wang Zuxian has remained silent.

Before him, the twenty-year-old Wang Zuxian resembled a flower delicately outlined in ink wash, elegant yet full of charm. Qin Yuanfeng stared blankly as she stood up, watching her extend a hand as white as jade

Team Leader Yu and Mr. Xu did not mention anything about his entrepreneurial endeavors at all He simply does not believe that Uncle did not bring this up with them

Now, seeing this beautiful butterfly flapping its wings right in front of him, he cannot help but feel a surge of emotions

However, Wang Zuxian cannot let it go

"Mr. Qin, long time no see." As soon as the door was pushed open, a cheerful male voice rang out

"About the same." Qin Yuanfeng immediately understood what he was asking, and replied with a smile, "It exceeded expectations by three thousand, which is quite a pleasant surprise"

In the room, two men were seated, and Qin Yuanfeng, who entered later, did not linger on the two men but instead focused on the last woman.

"Uncle Yu. Uncle Xu." He did not want to delay any longer and said seriously: "I know that you look down on me"

These striking images on the screen leave an indelible memory in the minds of people at hetushu.com, much like the "Zhongxi" coins from the arcade halls of the early 1990s, almost becoming a jar of aged and fragrant wine beneath the tree of life

The film "A Chinese Ghost Story" became an instant hit, but shortly thereafter, it faced a ban, leading to its eventual star becoming a nun, which left a lasting pain in the hearts of all film enthusiasts

Despite Team Leader Yu and Mr. Xu's attempts to persuade him, Qin Siyuan still left

"How could that be?" "Yes, Director Qin's son, how could we look down on him?" A fleeting moment of embarrassment crossed their faces, and they suddenly realized, "Oh, right, I remember now, Mr. Qin said that Xiao Qin came for a reason..."

The car was driving very fast, and when it came to a stop, it had already arrived at the entrance of an unremarkable restaurant.

The two individuals laughed in unison

Wang Zuxian, Zhang Manyu, Liu Jialing, Li Jiaxin, Zhu Yin

Since it has been exposed, they have nothing to hide. If there is something to say, rather than trying to cover it up, it is better to speak frankly and openly.

His identity cannot remain for long

Qin Yuanfeng is baffled; it seems that Qin Siyuan and Wang Zuxian are quite familiar with each other. What reason does Wang Zuxian have to engage in a conversation with him

This also necessitates a quicker determination of his project, with 8,000 yuan being a minimal amount. After deducting employee salaries, his project must still have enough funds to develop a game

When he saw this woman, he was completely stunned

This time, the two did not speak, merely exchanging glances. Uncle Yu then cleared his throat and said: "Xiao Qin, it's not that we look down on you, but we know that you want to start a company. Do you realize how expensive land is in Hong Kong? Do you have any sales connections? Your father probably doesn't even know what you intend to do; he only has us as acquaintances in Hong Kong, which is why he urgently sought us out."

"You both are not unaware of my identity," Qin Siyuan smiled and declined, saying to Qin Yuanfeng, "This is Team Leader Yu from Shaw Brothers Studio, and this is Manager Xu. They are both friends of your father and mine. You two should communicate more; I won't stay any longer."

"Who are you taking me to meet?" Skipping this topic, he continued to ask.

Hello, classmate, I am Wang Zuxian. It was only this crisp voice that pulled him out of his memories

Qin Yuanfeng could only smile wryly and give up; perhaps only he knows how valuable the original shares of a newly established gaming company have become.

Qin Yuanfeng said lightly: "Bill Gates was initially in his own dormitory."

From Qin Yuanfeng's school, the discussion about his studies continued all the way to his experience as an exchange student in Japan. The more they talked, the more Qin Yuanfeng's brows furrowed.

I am afraid the other party merely intends to treat him lavishly like a pig, and then the next time they call, it will be something like: "Sorry, Team Leader Yu is busy." He will never see these two individuals again

Hello, I am a student at the University of Science and Technology, Qin Yuanfeng. Qin Yuanfeng suppressed the tumult of thoughts within and shook hands with the other party

He has completely forgotten that this is Hong Kong, a place where stars gather! This is the era of the explosion of beautiful women in Hong Kong

After receiving a positive response, Qin Siyuan continued, "My time is also very tight, so I can only help you arrange a few things as soon as possible. Xiang Dong has taken out all the savings from your family and has borrowed quite a bit from others. I will also cover some here. However, Xiao Feng, you must remember that this is only a personal loan from me, not assistance for you to start a company. Do you understand?"

Each of them thinks of themselves as a superstar, a genius, yet they end up falling harder than anyone else. He chuckled casually: "I wouldn't advise others with such words. Don't dwell on this matter; come, have some tea, and later, I'll take you back to school. Rest assured, I will not stand idly by when I can help."
