[Chapter 284: Investments]
[T/N: Chen Hong came to Link to pitch a script for drama The Emperor's Shadow, written by Lu Wei who wrote script for Farewell My Concubine. Link rejects it because it was not historically accurate.
After reviewing more scripts brought by her, he selected Siao Yu, Touching Starlight, and The Sino-Dutch War 1661. For the last film, he decided to make it a grand epic like Titanic.
Even though making money off films in the China was tough, he decided that the investment had its merits, such as energizing the local film scene, building connections, and preparing for a more profitable future once the industry matured.
That night, Link stayed over at the apartment with both of them.
Before leaving the next day, he left a check for one hundred thousand dollars, covering their recent expenses in Los Angeles, reminding them to call for other matters when needed, as work had kept him busy, limiting his availability to visit frequently.]
