Chapter 20 The Opening Banquet of the New Art City
In the original time and space, New Art City Co., Ltd. was founded by Mecca, Huang Baiming and Shi Tian in September this year, and was also supported by Lei Juekun of Kowloon Construction. And in this life, because of Xu Ziming's arrival, it was announced nearly a month late.
Today, Xu Ziming, as the second largest shareholder of New Arts City, naturally has the responsibility to attend today's company's opening ceremony.
Like the establishment of Lei Jue Kun Golden Princess Cinema last time, the location was chosen at the Carlton Hotel, and Xu Ziming had a strange cognition, I don't know if Lei Jue Kun has a hobby for the Carlton Hotel.
Xu Ziming, like Mecca, Huang Baiming, and Shi Tian, is dressed in a straight and upright suit, and looks like a gentleman.
"Today's people are much better than when the Jin Gong Cinema Line was established last time", the bald guy Mecca walked all the way to Xu Ziming and others, and even greeted several people beside him, and couldn't help but sigh.
"But I heard Boss Lei say that Zou Wenhuai of Golden Harvest and Sixth Uncle Shao of the Shaw Brothers can't come today", Huang Baiming said with regret.
"It's nothing, after all, now that Princess Jin not only has a theater, but also founded a new company, it can be said that the situation of the confrontation between the two has been broken, do you think Zou Wenhuai and Shao Yifu will come in person", Shi Tian's words hit the nail on the head.
Xu Ziming also looked very understanding, but Mecca began to humble himself, "Ah Tian, this is not necessarily, it is still unknown how our new art city will develop." This is not the time for complacency. ”
Shi Tian smiled without saying a word, holding his wine glass and said with a smile: "Then it depends on how our new art city will develop", and clinked glasses with the other three people, including Xu Ziming.
Before chatting with Mecca and others, Xu Ziming felt that he and these people didn't seem to have any good topics to talk about, and the three of them were talking about either the box office or how to make money, with a strong smell of money, so he hurriedly withdrew from it and found a place not far away where there were fewer people and sat down.
At the party, people entered the venue one after another, Lei Juekun, as a major shareholder, naturally wanted to entertain the celebrities and tycoons who participated in today's party, and the sharp-eyed Xu Ziming also saw Fang Yihua enter the hotel.
"Aunt Fang, why didn't Uncle Sixth come", as soon as Fang Yihua sat down, Xu Ziming hurriedly walked over and stepped forward to condole.
Seeing Xu Ziming's arrival, Fang Yihua explained slowly, "Wireless has a lot of things to do recently, and the sixth brother is not available, so I will attend for him." ”
Xu Ziming had already guessed that Fang Yihua would explain it like this. Fang Yihua had an expression of disbelief, and then smiled: "Ziming, when you and Aunt Fang said that you were going to sit up from the show, why did you buy a stake in a new film company today." ”
"Aunt Fang, when I decided to play the show, it was indeed to experience the fun of entertainment for myself, but I found that this approach was a bit absurd. Xu Ziming rubbed his nose embarrassedly, a little embarrassed.
Fang Yihua looked at Xu Ziming in front of him, and couldn't help sighing, the young man was just not sure to speak, three days of fishing and two days of drying nets.
Xu Ziming's expression of lowering his body with a sworn oath at the beginning had a big impact on Fang Yihua. Fang Yihua was not sloppy, and asked: "Ziming, you have now invested in the new company, and your ambitions have appeared one by one, are you starting to enter the entertainment industry and want to become bigger and stronger in the entertainment industry." ”
Well, Xu Ziming couldn't find anything because of Fang Yihua's sudden words, he really didn't have such lofty ambitions, he just wanted to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry, and the best thing was to realize his long-cherished wish.
The topics of the two talked back and forth, and they were all about the film company, Xu Ziming was a little measured, and knew that there were some things to say and some things not to say.
When Fang Yihua suddenly talked about the theater, Xu Ziming looked calm, but Fang Yihua looked at Xu Ziming suspiciously, only Xu Ziming knew the specific box office sharing between Xinyicheng and Lei Juekun.
"Ziming, it seems that the establishment of the new art city will have a huge impact on the film industry", what Fang Yihua didn't expect was that the development prospects of the new art city were actually better than the original Golden Harvest.
If the new art city is simply created by Lei Juekun and Huang Baiming, it will not have much impact on the Shaw Brothers, but Xu Ziming's intervention, although no one else of the Xu family is involved behind him, but who in the Xu family does not value Xu Ziming, so naturally the new art city at this time is like a tiger with wings.
Xu Ziming just silently picked up the empty wine glass next to the wine table, and began to drink red wine with full attention. Xu Ziming doesn't care about what Fang Yihua will think in his heart, and he won't think about it, the establishment of New Arts City will not only have a huge impact on Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, even the later Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest joined forces, but they failed to surpass New Arts City at the box office, and even Shaw Brothers finally announced its withdrawal from the film industry because of the theater system of the big factory system.
Shaking the red wine in the wine glass, the rising tide and the ebb and flow of the tide up and down are also fascinating to look at, and after taking a small sip, Xu Ziming smiled very naturally, "Aunt Fang, rest assured, although I am the second largest shareholder of Xinyicheng, I will not look at money and box office as supreme like other shareholders." In fact, what I am looking forward to more is the strong alliance of the film industry to jointly create a brilliant film industry. ”
Fang Yihua couldn't guess what Xu Ziming's thoughts were, but she had to look at the wealthy child in front of her who "fished for three days and dried nets for two days" like last time.
"Ziming, just a toast to these reasonable dreams of yours", Fang Yihua was very humorous, picked up the wine glass that had just been filled by the waiter on the table, and made a gesture of a wine glass. Xu Ziming comprehended and also raised his glass to touch.
Seeing that almost all the invited guests at the cocktail party had arrived, Lei Juekun hurriedly called Xu Ziming, Huang Baiming, Mecca, and Shi Tian to the front desk, and Lei Juekun, as the major shareholder, thanked the celebrity tycoons who were surrounded by a full seat in front of him: "....... Thank you very much for coming to the inauguration ceremony of our new art city today, and here we would like to toast you all and express our gratitude......"
Xu Ziming toasted under the instruction of Lei Juekun, and Wang Jin under the banquet quietly touched Zhou Yanfa next to him and said, "That person seems to be Ziming, let's go over and have a look." ”
Chow Yun-fat immediately understood, and when he turned around, he was surprised to find Guan Shan, and asked politely: "Uncle Guan, let's go over together." ”
"Okay", Guan Shan also knew Zhou Runfa, and the friendship between the two in private was okay, so he nodded and agreed. Guan Zhilin's father, a veteran star of the Shaw Brothers, and the first Chinese international actor. Today, he came to attend the inauguration ceremony of the new art city, purely because of Fang Yihua, and Fang Yihua values Xu Ziming, a wealthy giant, very much, and wants to introduce Guan Shan to Xu Ziming.
