During the banquet, they did not talk about business.

Hong Chen sat at the main table, which included characters like Yuan Long and Wang Xiaojing, and it could be seen that they were very polite to Yang Cheng and had a very respectful attitude.

Yuanlong's attitude is good, after all, the status is also there, on an equal footing.

But Yong Ziwei kept boasting about Yang Cheng and kept toasting, and the atmosphere was good, but Hong Chen was not particularly comfortable listening to it.

Of course, he didn't show any impatience at all.

Wine culture is a hurdle that adults have to go through.

However, there is one thing to say, the current post-90s generation is starting to get tired of this culture. For a large number of young people, it's okay to drink with your brothers, it's okay to go to a bar to drink, but it's too troublesome to drink with your leader.

When they become leaders, I don't know what kind of eating scene it will be.

"Hong Chen, the movie "Operation Red Sea", you have earned at least 1 billion, it is really terrifying. At this time, Yang Cheng and Hong Chen had a drink, and Yang Cheng said with a gentle smile.

Hearing Yang Cheng's words, everyone at the table was shocked.

In fact, some people at the dinner table did not particularly pay attention to mainland film and television, and now when they heard Yang Cheng say this, their eyes immediately widened.

1 billion, what is this concept?

All the movies made by HK in a year combined, the profit may not be as much as that of Hong Chen's movie!

Of course, this movie Hong Chen can be regarded as borrowing the east wind.

The film was successfully filmed after the navy was released, the military wanted propaganda, the warships and tanks cooperated with the performance, and the actors risked their lives and suffered in North Africa for three months.

It was completely expected that such a high box office was achieved.

As the main organizer, Hongchen Media naturally makes a lot of money.

The total box office of 3.65 billion, according to 45% of the money of investors and distributors, is almost 1.65 billion.

Excluding the accounts of several other small investors and Haizheng, Hongchen Media won the lion's share, with about 950 million.

Close to 1 billion.

It's no wonder everyone was shocked, because the money is really exaggerated.

A movie makes 1 billion, looking at the whole of HK, it is impossible for anyone to do this.

Everyone's gaze on Hong Chen changed.

"It was just a stroke of luck that I came across working with the military. Hong Chen smiled calmly.

Hearing that Hong Chen had confirmed this, the others gasped.

Is this actually true?

This young man actually made a movie and made 10 billion?

Isn't this a number that only appears in anti-corruption movies in Hong Kong films?

"Haha, don't be modest, your previous movies have made hundreds of millions of dollars. Yang Cheng continued to praise him.

In this regard, Hong Chen was very calm, but said politely: "Good luck, the script has always been good." ”

Yang Cheng didn't say anything more, just smiled.

Wang Xiaojing knows Hong Chen well, he is one of the few directors in Hong Kong who has an eye on the mainland, and he knows that many actors and singers in Hong Kong are resting on their laurels, but they don't know that the mainland is the biggest market.

"Master Hong, do you have any plans for the new year, there are still many scripts waiting for you here in HK. Wang Xiaojing toasted him with a glass of wine and smiled kindly.

"I'm still reading, but there are a lot of scripts looking for me, so I may not be busy. Hong Chen snorted.

Then, the banquet continued, Hong Chen took the time to go to the toilet, and when he went to the toilet, Hong Chen asked Ge Chen to understand what the current situation in HK was.

Not long after, Hong Chen was at the banquet when Ge Chen sent a text message.

It turned out that a big man in the HK real estate industry recently hit the idea on the film and television industry.

This person is none other than Guo Binglian, the crown prince of the Guo family, who ranks third on the rich list.

You must know that more than half of the top 10 richest people on the HK list are involved in the real estate industry, such as Li Jiacheng, who made a fortune in real estate.

Although the film and television industry is powerful, it is not enough to watch compared with the real estate tycoons, especially the top real estate tycoons.

Moreover, now a large film and television company, Oriental Film, has been acquired by Guo Binglian.

Guo Binglian's approach is also very simple, using connections to force banks to collect debts. You must know that due to the recession of the HK market, many film and television companies are heavily in debt, and they have to continue to spend money in order to make movies.

In this industry, huge profits are true, but in many cases, the losses are also lost.

As soon as the bank collects debts, the film and television company can't stand it, so it can only prepare to declare bankruptcy.

Anyway, the old man of his family is not in good health, and he is really not short of money.

Now, 20% of HK's cinema chain has been won by Guo Binglian.

If it continues like this, Guo Binglian will join forces to master more theaters, and it is very likely that if these film and television companies want to release movies in Hong Kong in the future, they will have to look at Guo Binglian's face, which invisibly puts a lot of pressure on them.

"So, what are they calling me for? Isn't it just collaboration?"

Hong Chen thought secretly.

He originally thought that Yuanlong organized this bureau to promote Hong Chen to sign a certain movie, but now it seems that this is not the case.

HK's power is already complicated, the water is very mixed, many of them used to be from associations, and now they are more or less touched by such an atmosphere.

After the banquet, Yang Cheng and Hong Chen went to the private room at the back, and Hong Chen knew that the negotiations were about to start.

"Hong Chen, I came to you, you must be very strange. Yang Cheng brought Hong Chen a cup of tea and said with a smile.

Hong Chen was still unfazed and said, "Mr. Yang, what do you say?" ”

"Young people are straight, then I won't beat around the bush, I can't hide it, the Hong Kong film and television industry has not been peaceful recently, Oriental Films has been acquired, and Guo Binglian's next target is me. Yang Cheng squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Hong Chen didn't have any expression on his face, but said: "Dong Yang, what are you kidding, the British royal family has a great cause, your worth is not as good as the top ten on the HK rich list, and there are also top twenty, how can it be so simple to move you." ”

"Hehehe. Yang Cheng took a sip of tea and continued, "Of course it is impossible for Guo Binglian to move Emperor Company alone, behind this matter, there is Huanya. ”

Hearing this, Hong Chen understood.

It turned out that Uniasia Pictures was also involved.

You must know that there are only a few entertainment companies in the top five in Hong Kong.

Plaza Asia, Emperor, Huaxia Star Movie, Orange Sky Golden Harvest, Galaxy Impression.

Among them, Uniasia and Emperor belong to the leading companies, and the competition is fierce.

Now Uniasia and Guo Binglian want to move the emperor, so the emperor came to Hong Chen to seek cooperation.

Hong Chen didn't speak, just waiting for Yang Cheng's next words.

"So, I want to cooperate with you, Emperor Entertainment, you take a stake, and the movie you starred in and invested in will be released in Hong Kong and handed over to me. At the same time, how about the distribution of my film in the mainland to you?"

Yang Cheng said it very directly.

Hongchen Entertainment is also doing the distribution of movies now, if it can win some resources of Hong Kong films, just provide distribution and publicity, and share the accounts plainly, Hong Chen is naturally willing.

It's just that Hong Chen feels that things are not so simple.

Cooperation is not so easy, about how to divide the account, about how to coordinate, it is very troublesome.

"Also, I have a suggestion. At this time, Yang Cheng said again, "I'll be the introducer, you can buy Meiya Pictures." ”

Meiya Pictures used to be a giant of HK Entertainment, and many classic films such as "Breaking Detective" and "Juliet and Liang Shanbo" came from this company.

It's just that now that the Hong Kong film industry is in recession, Zedong Pictures can't make ends meet, and it has gradually lived up to the glory of the year, and even has been in debt.

In this regard, Hong Chen showed an interested look.

After all, although the HK market is not large, it is also a good choice to acquire a film and television company and cultivate its own HK artists.

"Meiya, what is their market value now?" Hong Chen took a sip of tea and nodded.

"It's not much, 1 billion, if I go to lobby, it can almost be pressed to 800 million. Yang Cheng continued.

"800 million, a bit expensive. Hong Chen groaned.

Meiya's current first sister is Liang Yongqi, including Fan Shaohuang, Anya, Tan Junyan and other stars, to be honest, these celebrities' popularity is not particularly high now.

"It's not expensive, as long as you use it properly, you can pay for it in a few months, so you can also gain a firm foothold in HK. Yang Cheng continued, "It will be more convenient for us to cooperate in the future." ”

"I think about it. Hong Chen said with a smile.

Then the two of them chatted a few more words, and Hong Chen left.

After walking out of the villa, Wang Ming had already prepared a car waiting for him.

Hong Chen glanced back at the villa, pursed his lips unremittingly, and said secretly: "Do you treat me as a little white? I'm not stupid." ”

He knew that Yang Cheng had said so much, just to let himself buy Meiya Pictures.

To put it bluntly, although Meiya still looks very valuable now, the company has long been just an empty shell, and whoever takes over is unlucky.

Yang Cheng estimated that he had made a lot of money in "Operation Red Sea" and that the company's liquidity was sufficient, so he paid attention to himself.

Hong Chen sneered, and then left directly.

After Hong Chen left, Yang Cheng's face was also cold, and his eyes became sharp.

He is worth tens of billions of dollars and is well versed in the way of businessmen, so he is very good at business activities. Otherwise, he would not be in HK, but his eyes fell on the latest rise of Hongchen Media in the mainland.

To put it bluntly, it is still the Spring Festival stall that makes 1 billion yuan, which stimulates these capitalists.

"This young man is a little old and steady. ”

"But I've already thrown the bait, and the fish won't catch it. ”
