Chapter 116: Accustomed to being called Uncle Ying
Wang Jin analyzed: "From the beginning of the establishment of Mingjia Company to the present, it has only been less than a month, but the liquidity of the company I took over can only support the filming of a "True Colors of Heroes", as for the original plan to make up the follow-up "Dragon and Tiger" is no longer possible. At present, most of the films released in Mingjia Cinema are Shaw Brothers films. Ah Ming, you also know that Shaw Brothers' movies cannot be compared with New Arts City and Golden Harvest, not to mention that the maintenance cost of the theater chain is high, and most of the company's money is posted upside down in the theater line. ”
Wang Jin's expression was solemn, and he was really worried about the company's current situation, and the funds injected by Mingjia Film Company before were basically not enough to maintain the normal operation of the company.
Xu Ziming was a little upset, and asked, "Who are you arranging the manager of Mingjia Cinema Line?"
"I didn't recruit people, and I was personally responsible for the cinema chain. Wang Jin replied directly with his hands on his cheeks.
Xu Ziming intended to let Chen Baixiang take over, after all, Chen Baixiang's experience was there, but he felt abrupt, the company's affairs were handled by Wang Jin, and Xu Ziming was afraid that his sudden intervention would affect the development of the company.
"It's better to do this, and Zeng Zhiwei is directly responsible for the affairs of the theater manager. Xu Ziming thought for a while, then raised his head and said to Wang Jin.
"Zeng Zhiwei is in charge of the theater chain, can he handle it well?" Wang Jin asked in surprise.
"Whether it's good or not, it only depends on his performance, but, in my opinion, he can handle things in the theater chain, and as for it is very good, I can't guarantee it. Xu Ziming's tone was also uncertain.
Wang Jin simply said: "Let's do it directly, I transferred Chen Baixiang, the financial director, to be the manager of the Mingjia Cinema Line, and let Zeng Zhiwei be the financial director of the company. ”
Wang Jin's idea was also Xu Ziming's original idea, which coincided, and Xu Ziming said: "This is very suitable, I wonder how you recruited Chen Baixiang to the company?"
Wang Jin smiled: "There are many things you don't know. Don't talk about these things first, you should think about how to solve the company's funding problem. Wang Jin returned to the original topic.
Xu Ziming frowned and thought deeply, the security company, Kowloon Motor Bus, TVB, Liyuan, Xu Ziming's layout is too big, and the steps are too big, so that many places lack consideration.
The share price of Kowloon Bus has fallen recently, Hui Ziming's profit has decreased a lot, and the security company is still in a state of making ends meet so far, Sun Wugao submitted to himself about the financial situation of the security company, although the deficit has eased year by year, but most of the profits of Kowloon Bus have filled the big hole of the security company.
Xu Ziming has no real money on hand.
Wang Jin said tentatively: "Ah Ming, you won't tell me that you can't get the money, right?"
Xu Ziming didn't make a sound, nodded, Wang Jin knocked on the table, and refused to believe it, "Your back is the Xu family, Ah Ming, don't make such a joke, I know that when you were in Wharf, you almost made hundreds of millions, and it's only been less than two years, is it gone?"
Xu Ziming is actually not joking, he spent a lot of the money he earned at the beginning, Kowloon Bus spent a lot of it, plus the establishment of a security company, a security company that is unparalleled in Hong Kong, also spent most of the money, so that the establishment of Mingjia Film Company and Mingjia Cinema Line has exhausted his savings.
By the time he finally bought 10 percent of Mr. Qiu's shares in Wireless, he had already begun to use the money he had pledged at HSBC.
As for Xu Ziming really can't come up with the money, it is an exaggeration, although the liquidity mortgaged by HSBC cannot be in place immediately, after all, the amount involved is huge, but it is not a problem for Xu Ziming to invest the funds that have been in place into the company, but the key reason is that Xu Ziming's money is to buy a large number of properties when the price of real estate falls.
And if you use it again, it will be more troublesome.
The two were in a little entanglement, and the phone on the table rang, and it was the voice of the front desk lady on the phone, "Mr. Wang, Mr. Hong Jinbao has something to meet with you." ”
At the front desk, Hong Jinbao took Lin Zhengying and waited for the front desk lady to reply, and Lin Zhengying looked at Hong Jinbao in confusion. Why is there no reason for confusion, the role of "Five Lucky Stars" is still being fundraised, so he is in a hurry to bring himself to Mingjia Film Company, he can't guess Hong Jinbao's plan at all.
Seeing that the front desk lady was still on the phone, Lin Zhengying asked: "Brother Sanmao, you came to Mingjia Film Company to say that you were looking for a role, but what did you bring me for, I have no friendship with Mr. Xu and Mr. Wang of Mingjia." ”
How can Lin Zhengying not be confused, Hong Jinbao and Ming Jia are familiar with each other, he brought Cheng Long and Yuan Biao, he would not be too curious, after all, the relationship between the three brothers is better than his own, but he doesn't know a few meanings when he pulls himself up.
Hong Jinbao smiled mysteriously: "I brought you today, I heard the young lady's phone call just now, and I seemed to hear that Xu Ziming was also there." ”
Lin Zhengying was even more confused: "What does Xu Ziming's absence have to do with today's events? This person in charge of Mingjia Film Company is not Wang Jin?"
Hong Jinbao shook his head, saw that the front desk lady finished speaking, and said to the two of them: "Two gentlemen, Mr. Wang said yes, I will take you in." ”
Lin Zhengying was pulled by Hong Jinbao, followed the leading lady in front, and came directly to Wang Jin's office.
Seeing Hong Jinbao come in with an acquaintance, Xu Ziming took the lead and said: "Brother Sanmao is here, sit down." Xu Ziming was very polite in and out of his words, and Lin Zhengying on the side was confused when he heard it, and he didn't know that Hong Jinbao and Xu Ziming had a relationship.
After the two sat down, Wang Jin asked, "Brother Sanmao, who is this?" Wang Jin is not very familiar with the people in Hong Jinbao's circle, and his contact with Hong Jinbao is also the contact in Xu Ziming's house, so he knows even less about the members of the Yuan family class, so that when he first saw Lin Zhengying, he was a completely unfamiliar face, and he didn't know who it was.
Lin Zhengying's personality is very serious, and he doesn't have many people in front of strangers, and when he sees that others don't know who he is, he inevitably has a little more embarrassment on his face.
Hong Jinbao was just about to open his mouth to explain, but Xu Ziming spoke first: "Ah Jin, that is the famous Uncle Ying. ”
"Uncle Ying?" Wang Jin was stunned.
"Amin, I'...... I heard you right, right?" Hong Jinbao couldn't help but ask, and at the same time smiled at Lin Zhengying, who was sitting on the side, "Uncle Ying." ”
Lin Zhengying is still Hung Jinbao's fellow brother, and as soon as he debuted, he gave Bruce Lee action guidance, and was later taken to Hollywood by Bruce Lee to develop, known as Bruce Lee's right-hand man. It's a pity that as soon as Bruce Lee died, Lin Zhengying could only go back to Hong Kong to make a living, and he has been doing martial arts for Hong Jinbao in the past few years, occasionally
also plays some small roles, or acts as a stuntman for others, but recently he has been mixing well with Hong Jinbao, and Lin Zhengying has played an important role in several recent Golden Harvest movies.
Lin Zhengying slowly came back to his senses, "Mr. Xu, if you call me Uncle Ying, it will be a little annoying to me, just call me A-Ying."
Xu Ziming can be said to be in the Hong Kong film industry, many people know him, and Lin Zhengying is no exception, and he knows very well that the person who calls himself "Uncle Ying" is Xu Ziming.
Xu Ziming smiled: "Then what's the matter, you are an elder." ”
Hong Jinbao was embarrassed to remind: "Ah Yingcai is only twenty-eight, a few years younger than me. ”
Listening to Hong Jinbaoyi's reminder, Rao couldn't help blushing with Xu Ziming's cheekiness.
Lin Zhengying's skin was a little dark, coupled with a serious expression, he looked like he was forty years old, so that Xu Ziming naturally shouted the word "Uncle Ying" and made a big fuss in public.
But the word "Uncle Ying" was often said by Xu Ziming's fans of Lin Zhengying in his previous life, and the title of "Ninth Uncle", it was really difficult to suddenly make Xu Ziming change his words.
"Ahem," Xu Ziming hurriedly coughed twice to divert his embarrassment: "What is the matter with Brother Sanmao coming here today." ”
Xu Ziming's sincerity in asking, Hong Jinbao's temperament is also straightforward, and he immediately said: "I want to invite Mingjia's Liu Lanxi to play the heroine of "Five Lucky Stars". ”
The role of "Five Lucky Stars" has already been selected, and he is waiting to start filming, Hong Jinbao originally decided to choose Zhong Chuhong as the heroine, after all, Zhong Chuhong is quite beautiful, and her acting skills are also very good, which is very suitable for the candidate. But Hong Jinbao is the same as men in the world, for Liu Lanxi, who has played the role of "Chasing Girls", he thinks that this person is very beautiful, and his reputation in Hong Kong is also relatively large, after all, he is the only heroine who has worked with Xu Ziming in a couple, he is a director and an investor, so the two think Liu Lanxi is more suitable.
"Ah Jin, Miss Liu is an artist in our company?" Xu Ziming was shocked by Hong Jinbao's words, how could Liu Lanxi become Mingjia's artist.
It doesn't seem to exist in Xu Ziming's impression.
Wang Jin said with a smile: "This month, I have found a lot of talents for the company, and Miss Liu is of course one of them. ”
Hong Jinbao saw that the two of them finished speaking, and asked, "Ah Ming, Miss Liu should be fine?"
Xu Ziming scratched his head and said depressedly: "Why is the heroine not Zhong Chuhong?"
Hong Jinbao was taken aback, and exclaimed in public: "Ah Ming, you are too powerful, I originally planned to choose Zhong Chuhong, how do you know, I haven't told anyone about this news." ”
Hong Jinbao had dry eyes, completely unable to understand how Xu Ziming knew this, Lin Zhengying didn't know the situation, but seeing Hong Jinbao's huge reaction, he couldn't help but cheer up Xu Ziming again.
After all, Xu Ziming has seen this movie, so he still needs to know, but how can he tell the truth.
Xu Ziming smiled bitterly: "Brother Sanmao, don't be surprised, I'm just guessing." Last year, Zhong Chuhong and Zhou Yunfa collaborated on "The Story of Hu Yue", in which he played a Vietnamese girl named Shen Qing. Zhong Chuhong attracted the attention of the film industry with this movie.
Hong Jinbao's face returned to normal, and he would rather Xu Ziming be a blind cat who met a dead mouse and guessed at will.
