Chapter 249: Loss or Loss
"Mr. Qiao, congratulations."
As soon as Qiao Feng arrived at the place, He Guanchang got up and congratulated with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Mr. Ho." Qiao Feng smiled slightly and thanked him.
The three brothers who got up next to He Guanchang were Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long, and Yuan Biao, and the three of them also congratulated one after another, and Qiao Feng nodded with a smile in return.
Then there was Zou Wenhuai, the big boss of Golden Harvest, Zou Wenhuai sat there and didn't move, and after saying congratulations, Zou Wenhuai then said with a smile: "I didn't expect it, just five years, Mr. Qiao bought the Shaw Brothers Cinemas, and in five years, he has walked the road that Zou took someone 20 years to complete, what a hero is a teenager."
"Mr. Zou is too famous, how can I compare with you, when you started your business, it was when the Shaw Brothers family was dominant, and you were able to withstand all kinds of suppression and obstruction by the Shaw Brothers to develop Golden Harvest into the largest and most successful film company in Hong Kong, you are really powerful." Qiao Feng said very modestly and complimented.
Qiao Feng's words are not too flattering, Zou Wenhuai is really powerful, when he was the theater manager of Shaw Brothers, he left Shaw Brothers in anger because of discord with Fang Yihua, who had just entered Shaw Brothers, and took He Guanchang, Cai Changyong and others to establish Golden Harvest.
At that time, it was really difficult, because the influence of leftist film companies such as the Great Wall was not as good as before, and Shaw Brothers was the undisputed overlord of the Hong Kong film industry at that time.
For the newly established Jiahe, a company set up by a traitor who ran away from his own company, Shao Yifu suppressed it in every way.
At that time, Jiahe was asking for people, no one wanted money, no money, and after making a movie, he couldn't find a theater to release it, and Jiahe was on the verge of closing its doors for a while.
Although later because of the Cathay Pacific boss's family and a group of high-level plane crashes, Golden Harvest seized the opportunity to get Cathay Cinemas and distribution channels in Southeast Asia, and then invited Li Xiaolong, a big man who was let go by Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest began to rise in the Hong Kong film industry from then on.
Although there is a lot of luck, I have to say that if Zou Wenhuai is not capable enough, has a good vision, and is very decisive, Golden Harvest may not be able to persist until the Cathay Pacific high-level plane crash, and even if it persists, it may not necessarily win Cathay's cinema and distribution channels, and it can still develop Golden Harvest as well as it is now.
Because Golden Harvest was not like Qiao Feng in the 80s when he traveled back in the 80s, there were three mainstream theaters, and many film companies allowed him to be left and right.
Jiahe's ability to develop to such a level is the embodiment of Zou Wenhuai's personal ability, of course, He Guanchang and Cai Changyong have also made great efforts.
After saying polite words, everyone sat down again, and Qiao Feng was let to the side and sat down next to Guan Zhilin.
After Qiao Feng sat beside him, Guan Zhilin had the opportunity to whisper a few words to Qiao Feng, complaining about why he didn't call her when he came back to Hong Kong, why didn't he tell her, etc.
"You're tanned."
Qiao Feng said this, and then made Guan Zhilin forget all the things he had to complain about, and touched his face nervously and asked in a panic: "Really? Why didn't I see it? I think it's still the same as before."
Guan Zhilin hurriedly took her bag, opened it, turned out the small mirror, and shone it on her face, Qiao Feng looked at her in a hurry, her face was silent, and her stomach hurt with laughter.
"Miss Guan, look at how much Mr. Qiao feels sorry for you, this is obviously still so white and beautiful, but Mr. Qiao said that it is dark, it seems that Mr. Qiao is very dissatisfied with us inviting you to Thailand to film." He Guanchang heard the conversation between Qiao Feng and Guan Zhilin, so he joked with a smile.
"Hmph, Mr. He laughed, where is he distressed, obviously he is disgusted." Guan Zhilin is very good at talking, although He Guanchang is joking that Qiao Feng is dissatisfied with Jiahe, but he Guanchang thinks so in his heart, Zou Wenhuai, Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long They may also think so, if this is the case, not only will he leave the impression that these people are not good to cooperate, but it will definitely not be a good thing for Qiao Feng, so Guan Zhilin pretended to be coquettish and pulled the words to herself, saying that Qiao Feng disliked herself.
Qiao Feng understood her kindness when he heard Guan Zhilin say that, although Qiao Feng didn't care what Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang would think, but Guan Zhilin thought about himself so much, his heart was still warm, although this girl was very capable of making trouble, but she was really good to herself, and that was enough, if you like to make trouble, just be more tolerant of her.
"Mr. He, the one you made a year ago was still filmed in Yueben, why did this one be filmed in Thailand." Under the table, Qiao Feng reached out and patted Guan Zhilin's little hand to show that he understood this intention, but his eyes looked at He Guanchang and asked with a smile.
"Hey, there's no way, the price of this movie has risen too fast, we celebrities have invited a lot of people to shoot this film, just the salary is enough, if you go to shoot this book again, then whether it is to invite some extras, or rent a set, set up or something, it costs a lot of money, but we don't want to shoot in Hong Kong, because we want to give the audience something fresh, so, as long as we choose a place with low prices to shoot, the price in Thailand is so low, just change from the book to Thailand for filming, the cost is less than a few million, this deal, Mr. Qiao, you say it's not a good deal?“ He Guanchang has some exaggerated explanations.
However, although the explanation is exaggerated, Hong Jinbao and others nodded in agreement, and it seems that they are indeed worried about the soaring prices of the book.
chatted for a while, He Guanchang, Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long, they praised Guan Zhilin, saying how dedicated they were in acting, how hard they could endure hardships, and when they were done, they said how good and good Andy Lau who played an important role in it was, and how beautiful Li Saifeng, who just made a cameo appearance in a few scenes, anyway, they praised several actors belonging to Qiao Feng's company.
For Andy Lau, Li Saifeng's praise Qiao Feng accepted it all with peace of mind, after all, the relationship between the two is very good, but for praising Guan Zhilin for how dedicated and hard-working, Qiao Feng secretly pouted, and complained in his heart that he opened his eyes and said nonsense, are you sorry.
What Guan Zhilin looks like, Qiao Feng knows best, this girl you have to say that she buys clothes, bags, cosmetics, and shopping is very dedicated, she doesn't feel tired or bitter Qiao Feng believes it 100%, saying that she is dedicated to filming and can endure hardships, that is what Qiao Feng didn't believe if she killed her.
If she can not make any trouble, it will be a blessing to invite heaven after the trick.
He Guanchang must have a reason for such a disappointing boast, otherwise they wouldn't have done this, so what is it for?
"Mr. Zou, Mr. He, didn't you invite me here today just to praise them in front of me, right?" Qiao Feng asked with a smile.
