Li Zhen was 25 years old and graduated from Hong Kong Chinese University. She had three years of working experience and once worked with a second-tier star in Hong Kong. She had a good reputation in the circle, so she was poached by Wan Xiaoquan.
Wan Xiaoquan was no stranger to Hong Kong. He had a special economic zone green card ten years ago and even planned to retire in Hong Kong. He also had some connections with the local entertainment circle.
So after coming to Hong Kong with the funds provided by Lu Chen, Wan Xiaoquan quickly got into the role and pulled up a team of people through headhunting or recruitment, showing his ability outside of being a director.
However, Wan Xiaoquan's ability in this area was limited, so he needed Lu Chen to come and host. After all, his real job and passion was still shooting movies.
Li Zhen was the assistant secretary that Wan Xiaoquan specially prepared for Lu Chen. This delicate and pretty girl had a round face and Big eyes. When she smiled, there would be a shallow dimple on her right cheek. Let's not talk about her ability first, at least she was pleasing to the eye.
"Hello, Mr. Lu Chen, I am your assistant Li Zhen …"
After Wan Xiaoquan introduced her, Li Zhen bowed to Lu Chen and said, "Please take care of me."
As a local of Hong Kong, Li Zhen's Mandarin was very standard, almost no accent could be heard.
This was also one of the important reasons why Wan Xiaoquan chose her.
The official languages of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region were Chinese and English, and the native language of Hong Kong people was Cantonese, so many locals and even many young people could only speak Cantonese, it was very difficult to communicate with the mainlanders.
Of course, with the increasing influence of the mainland economy on Hong Kong, the number of people who spoke Mandarin in Hong Kong was increasing day by day, especially those who did business with the mainland. It was very troublesome if they didn't speak Mandarin.
Li Zhen was undoubtedly one of the representatives.
Lu Chen smiled and reached out his hand and said, "Hello, Miss Li."
This name reminded him of Sister Li in the capital. The two names only had a difference of one word, it was also fate.
"You can call me Ah Zhen."
Li Zhen shook hands with Lu Chen with a blushing face, her heart beating faster for a few seconds.
She was not a young girl, nor a newcomer who had never seen the world. It was just that the new boss in front of her was young and handsome, which inevitably touched her special feelings as a woman.
After working in the studio, Li Zhen had a detailed understanding of her new boss. She knew that Lu Chen was a rising star in the domestic pop music and film industry, and Lu Chen's girlfriend was Chen Fei 'er.
If the current popularity and fame of Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er in China were not much different, in Hong Kong, Lu Chen could not compare with his girlfriend at all, in Hong Kong, and Fei' er was far from the top local stars.
The reason for this was very complicated.
If Li Zhen hadn't changed this new job, she wouldn't know what kind of person Lu Chen was.
But after hearing Lu Chen's works on the Internet and watching "Autumn in My Heart" starring him, Li Zhen also became a fan of Lu Chen, so it was inevitable that she was excited to see her idol.
It must be noted here that last year's "Autumn in My Heart" had not been broadcasted in Hong Kong.
"En, Ah Zhen, I'll have to trouble you in the future."
Lu Chen nodded and introduced Zhang Xiaofang to her. "This is my assistant, Zhang Xiaofang."
Facing Zhang Xiaofang, Li Zhen was much more natural and unrestrained. "Brother Zhang, please guide me in the future."
Zhang Xiaofang was not good with words, so he shook hands with her a little awkwardly. "Hello."
Wan Xiaoquan said, "Well, let's talk in the car. Let's go to the studio first."
The car was already waiting outside.
This Mercedes-Benz business car was specially purchased for Lu Chen's Hong Kong Studio. It could accommodate seven people and was very expensive.
However, this was a very necessary expenditure. It was impossible to run a business in Xiangjiang without a car. Furthermore, even if the car was of poor quality, it would be very easy to be looked down upon by others. In this metropolis, luxury cars from all over the world were gathered, and Rolls-Royce was the most numerous.
The Mercedes-Benz business car was already very low-key. In the future, there would definitely be another car for Lu Chen to match his identity and status.
Although Xiangjiang returned to China in 1969, the policy of "one country, two systems" allowed Xiangjiang to maintain a unique development trajectory. Therefore, whether it was the local customs or laws and regulations, they were all very different from the domestic.
It could even be said that they were two different worlds.
The address of Lu Chen's Xiangjiang Film and Television Studio was in the commercial center of Xiyingpun, not far from Xiangjiang University. This area gathered the main TV stations of Xiangjiang, including the headquarters of wireless and satellite TV stations, as well as Big and small film and television entertainment companies and record companies. It was the core and essence of Xiangjiang's entertainment circle.
Crossing the Victoria Harbor along the West Kowloon Highway, they entered the commercial area which was full of high-rise buildings. The business car carrying Lu Chen and others stopped in front of a 50-60 story high building.
The studio was on the 59th floor of this Rongjin Building, in an office with an area of about 200 square meters.
Compared to the Lu Chen Studio in Beijing, the area of Xiangjiang Studio was undoubtedly much smaller, but the rent was not cheap at all. It was more than 100,000 yuan per month, which was equivalent to a monthly rent of 500 square meters.
And this was considered cheap in Xiangjiang where every inch of land was extremely expensive. East of Xiyingpun were the Upper Ring, Middle Ring and Golden Bell land. The same area of office buildings with a rent of two to three million yuan per year could be found everywhere. The high rent was among the highest in the world.
Wan Xiaoquan had only been in Xiangjiang for two months, but the expenses of renting a house, getting approval, hiring people, buying a car, etc., had been spent like water.
Of course, this money was not spent in vain. In addition to the necessary investment, the early investment also allowed Lu Chen to easily obtain a special economic zone green card. Otherwise, even if he was a well-known artist in the country, it would take a long time and effort to apply for a green card.
As for ordinary people, it was currently already very difficult to apply for a green card, not to mention the more difficult immigration.
The economic prosperity, coupled with a large population and special environment, and then there were investors from the mainland investing in Xiangjiang's real estate market. Therefore, the average house price in Xiangjiang was the highest in the world, surpassing that of Beijing.
A 200 square meters office building, for a newly established star studio, was actually already considered very luxurious. There were also many local artists in Xiangjiang who opened a studio, but only a few could rent such a "big" office in this commercial area.
As for the current employees of the studio, aside from Wan Xiaoquan and Li Zhen, there were also 7 people including the receptionist, ordinary clerks, financial cashier, network management, marketing planner and so on.
There was also a director of the studio – Chen Wenqiang.
