Chapter 458: Threats and Suppression (4000+ Chapters, Ask for Subscription~)
() In the short but glorious history of the Xiangjiang film industry, the new art city seems to be like a microcosm of the Xiangjiang film industry, born out of thin air, and then in just ten years, it has experienced from grass creation to glory, and then to disintegration!
The Seven Monsters of Xinyi City, which used to be in the famous struggle room in Xiangjiang, have long since been disbanded.
The first one to run away was Zeng Xiaoman, there was no way that Zeng Xiaoman's popularity in Xiangjiang was too good, once when he was not yet famous, when he was in the circle, he was already a famous idea king, and often many screenwriters would find him, hoping that he could add some funny episodes to his script.
And Zeng Zhiwei lives up to expectations every time and is always able to do the icing on the cake, so this has also developed his habit of being late.
At that time, many film companies were very interested in Zeng Zhiwei and wanted to recruit him into their ranks, but in the end, the bald guy was a good player.
20,000 labors per month, renting a house, renting a car, three conditions are given, Zeng Zhiwei has become one of the seven monsters of the struggle house and the new art city.
And Zeng Zhiwei actually ran away because he wanted to talk about the righteousness of his buddies, for his big brother Hong Jinbao platform, Wu Jianye gave the script of the "Five Lucky Stars" series, and made it clear that the role of Luo Hanguo should be played by Zeng Zhiwei.
followed by Teddy Robin, who pursued niche literary films, which was obviously very different from the bald guy and others' plans for the new art city, so Teddy Robin also left the new art city.
In fact, if there was no Wu Jianye, this year, Zeng Zhiwei would have united his old friend Tan Yonglin and Teddy Robin with the support of Huang Yulang to establish 'Good Friends' Pictures.
Is it just now....... Good friends are destined to be gone~
In the end, it was the whimsical Xu Ming, Xu Kai wanted to shoot, the bald guy and others didn't want to shoot, so the two sides finally broke up peacefully, and Xu Kai founded Xu Kai Film Studio with the support of Lei Juekun, the gold owner behind the new art city.
As Xu Wei's confidante, Shi Nansheng is naturally a husband and wife.
Since then, the Seven Monsters of the New Art City have become history, and now only the original Big Three, the bald guy, Huang Baiming, and Ishida are left.
These three people are also gradually growing apart now, and it is not uncommon for them to be independent.
And now the most important bald guy and Ishida have no intention of having a film career, originally in another time and space, the bald guy would launch Lin Lingdong to launch the Fengyun series, but Lin Lingdong was cut off by Fengge Entertainment, and they didn't have the trump card of Zhou Yanfa, so the bald guy also began to focus more on the stock market in advance.
Ishida, on the other hand, is more concerned about his own real estate investment.
In the end, only Huang Baiming was left, and he began to tinker with his "Happy Ghost" series and Chinese New Year films.
However, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, at this time, the new art city is still the third largest film company in Xiangjiang, if you want to let the film companies in Wanwan comply, you must need the new art city to join, the most important thing is that the new art city can be said to be supported by the film companies in Wanwan, if the new art city can also join its own camp, then for the whole thing, the meaning will be even more different.
.......
In Yong Kee's private room, Hung Jinbao and the bald guy are sitting and talking about wine.
In 1973, the 29-year-old bald man returned to Hong Kong with $1,500 in his pocket, and he returned from the United States with long hair and a thick beard.
After returning to Xiangjiang, Old Man Guang devoted himself to the film industry and made his first movie "A Bachelor Walks the World", and then applauded it and lost a lot of money.
Later, after being introduced, I met Hung Jinbao, and with the support of Hung Jinbao, the two established Garbo Pictures.
By the way, Zeng Zhiwei is the dragon and tiger martial artist of "A Singleton Walks the World".
During the Garbo period, the bald guy met Huang Baiming and Ishida respectively, and later the three of them formed a new art city, it can be said that the success of the bald guy was supported by Hong Jinbao at the initial stage, so he had his current achievements.
At the 2nd and 2nd Academy Awards Ceremony, with Jiang Dawei next to him whistling, Li Jing opened the envelope containing the list of best actors, and the only double egg yolk in the history of the Academy Awards was produced.
Hong Jinbao, who was wearing a black suit, hurried from the back seat, and his outstretched hand was stopped by the bald guy in the white suit, and he raised his arm and clamped it in the arm socket.
The black and white appearances of the two of them walked on stage holding each other as if they had discussed it in advance.
At that time, the Academy Awards were still shabby, the awards were twins, and there was only one trophy, which was unceremoniously held in Hong Jinbao's hand.
The bald guy smiled and said, "I want to take this opportunity to thank one more person who discovered me as if I were a new star." It is said that it was six years ago, he himself wanted to direct a play for me to make a three-day cameo appearance, in order to play me, to announce personal vendettas, he actually ruthlessly asked me to shave my head, and also asked me to say country language to scandalize me, this is my best friend Mr. Sammo Hung. ”
Later, even if the bald guy was Huang Baiming, the shareholder of Xinyicheng, who had the largest shares among the three of Ishida, still ran to the platform for Hung Jinbao's movie "Best Lucky Star", which shows the relationship between the two of them.
This is why some people always say that although in the golden age of Xiangjiang films, several major film companies are about to hit the, but these actors often get together at night to drink and chat.
Because Xiangjiang is too small, the circle is so big, and they basically know each other, especially a big man like Hong Jinbao who is righteous and willing to support newcomers, and he should be respected in Xiangjiang.
Think about the actors who came out of "Nirvana Train" and "Summer Lucky Star" to know his influence in Xiangjiang.
Not only did Hong Jinbao make an appointment to meet the bald guy in Yongji, but in the other two restaurants, Gong Jiapei made an appointment to meet Ishida, and Jiang Zhiqiang made an appointment to meet Huang Baiming.
Following!
Wu Jianye personally made an appointment with Lei Juekun and told Lei Juekun about his plan.
"Director Wu, I shouldn't have refused if you came to talk about this matter in person, but the establishment of Xinyicheng was helped by Wanwan, and now you ask me to unite and boycott Wanwan's filmmakers, I'm afraid it's ........"
Regarding Lei Juekun's refusal, Wu Jianye had actually guessed it a long time ago, but this did not dispel Wu Jianye's decision.
"Lei On, what is the situation inside the new art city now, I think you should already know it without me saying it, now the three people in the new art city have their own thoughts, if this continues, the new art city can last a few years, it is unknown, rather than end up in a dismal end, it is better to give them a new direction of efforts now." ”
Lei Juekun nodded and said: "I naturally know this, but it's still the same sentence, Director Wu, Wanwan has kindness to me, I can't take revenge at this time!"
Wu Jianye didn't take Lei Junkun's words to heart, there is no betrayal in this world, there is no betrayal just because the bargaining chips for betrayal are not high enough.
Or maybe it's not threatened enough!
"Reion, what if....... I mean, what if the bald guy, Huang Baiming, and Ishida give up the new art city? ”
Lei Juekun's face changed greatly, the two most important components of the film company, one is an excellent filmmaker, and the other is a successful theater.
The Golden Princess Cinema Line naturally doesn't need to be mentioned, the third largest cinema in Xiangjiang, and the film talent is also enviable, otherwise Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, who would not have played in the New Art City, would have joined forces.
He believes that when he reaches Wu Jianye's status, he will definitely not be untargeted, that is to say, he has his own support?
Thinking of this, Lei Juekun couldn't help but look at Wu Jianye, he thought that Wu Jianye might do something on the Kowloon Bus, but as Sun Hung Kai's control of the Kowloon Bus became more and more tight, Lei Juekun had realized that he might no longer be able to truly control the Kowloon Bus as before.
Without the constraints of Kowloon Bus, Lei Juekun would not be so worried about Wu Jianye.
But I didn't expect Wu Jianye to directly draw his salary from the bottom of the kettle, if things were really as Wu Jianye said, the new art city would almost be hollowed out.
"Director Wu, this kind of thing can't be joked!"
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Debao Haoting, ready to invest in an action movie cooperated by Hong Jinbao and the bald guy, at the same time, Fengge Entertainment has negotiated with Huang Baiming, if the other party is interested, he will invest in him to establish a new film company, the company's shares are 60% of Fengge Entertainment, 40% of Huang Baiming, and the same level of treatment as Hong Jinbao, I remember that Huang Baiming's shares in Xinyi City are only 18%, right......?
Lei Juekun sat on his sofa dejectedly, Wu Jianye's trick was a draw, if this is really the case, then the new art city will be over.
"I also have the Golden Princess Cinema Line and Xu Wei Film Studio!" Lei Juekun said calmly.
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "I remember that in the Golden Princess Cinema Line, Lei On only has six of his own theaters in his hands, and the rest are all joined in, right?
"As for Xu Wei's film studio, if the dust has settled on the first two items, will Xu Wei continue to follow Leon?"
.......
When Wu Jianye walked out of Norway to buy a house, the sun shone on the ground, making people immediately sweat.
After getting into the car, Wu Jianye smiled and ordered to go back to Repulse Bay.
Cai Songlin was busy acquiring the retail shares of Debao Haoting in the market at this time, but a phone call made him stop this action.
The chairman's office at Debao Mansion.
Jiang Zhiqiang sat in his place, opposite Cai Songlin.
"Mr. Cai, I have made it very clear that if Bafang Investment does not hand over the shares of Debao Haoting, then from today onwards, there will not be any film company in Xiangjiang that will send its own films to Wanwan for screening!"
Cai Songlin looked at Jiang Zhiqiang with a pale face.
He really didn't expect that within a few days of Wu Jianye's arrival in Xiangjiang, the situation in Xiangjiang would undergo earth-shaking changes, and at this moment, Xiangjiang's film companies really united and dared to boycott the Wanwan market, which had never been done before.
But now that all this has come true, this is at least a loss of 500 million yuan per year for Xiangjiang Films?
"Jiang Zhiqiang, don't forget, I am still a director of Debao Haoting, if Debao Haoting does something that is not conducive to the development of the company, I think at that time, there should be no one to support you to continue to serve as the chairman of Debao Haoting, right?"
This is Cai Songlin's last hole card!
Jiang Zhiqiang said with a smile: "Mr. Cai, I know that you have been secretly absorbing the shares of Debao Haoting, but now that we have obtained the support of more than 51% of the company's shareholders, I think the situation you said is impossible." ”
"What?" Cai Songlin stood up in surprise, "This is impossible!"
He does not believe that this almost self-digging approach will have the support of 51 percent of shareholders.
Jiang Zhiqiang handed a document on the table to Cai Songlin, "The above is the agreement of Fengge Entertainment to acquire the shares in the hands of Michael Kadoorie, as long as we sign it, this contract will take effect immediately!"
Cai Songlin sat down dejectedly, he didn't expect that someone in the group of the three of them would betray again.......
"If you withdraw from Debao Mansion, we can ignore the previous conflict between you and me, and we can ignore the fact that you want to continue to invest in the film company in Xiangjiang!"
If it was hell just now, now Jiang Zhiqiang's decision is not hesitant to pull Cai Songlin and the others back to the ground.
I didn't expect Fengge Entertainment to do this, picked it up heavily, but put it down gently.
"Conditions?" Cai Songlin asked.
He knew it couldn't be that simple.
Jiang Zhiqiang smiled, "It's very simple, in Xiangjiang, only we Fengge Entertainment can make rules in the future, and you can only do things within the scope of this rule." ”
"By the way, there is another one, that is, Director Wu Jianye, the senior consultant of our company, is very dissatisfied with your previous approach, so the bosses of your eight film companies must personally come to Xiangjiang to apologize to Director Wu Jianye, and at the same time, in the future, the film directed by Wu Jianye will not be subject to any opposition when it is released in Wanwan!"
"This is impossible!" Cai Songlin's first reaction was to object, this was a great humiliation for them, in the past they were above Xiangjiang, but now they have to let them act according to the rules of Fengge Entertainment.
The most important thing is to apologize to Wu Jianye!
Jiang Zhiqiang said indifferently: "Since Mr. Cai is unwilling, then there is nothing to talk about, I forgot to tell Mr. Cai that the layout of Fengge Cinema in the entire Southeast Asia has been completed, and it can bring at least more than 1 billion revenue to Xiangjiang Pictures every year, so the Wanwan market will no longer be so important!"
Cai Songlin sat there, his face was cloudy, now that Fengge Entertainment's layout in Southeast Asia has been completed, Wanwan, which has always been the largest ticket warehouse in Xiangjiang in the past, is naturally not so important.
"By the way, there is another one, if you don't agree to Director Wu's conditions, then from now on, if all the actors in Xiangjiang appear in a movie invested by your company, then this actor will be banned by the entire entertainment industry in Xiangjiang, and at the same time, Debao Haoting will sell its ten theaters under construction to Fengge Cinema Line!"
