Chapter 646: Ye Jinsheng's Decision

"Oh, Jimmy, the company is going to enter the record business? Then you have to think about it, I don't know anything about making records, but I also know some elements, first of all, you have to have a group of songwriters write original songs for you, this song has to be good, the most important thing is to sign artists, this is the most difficult thing, if you want to become famous in Hollywood, it's so simple!"

George Lucas said with some concern.

"George, you can rest assured, since I brought it up, it is absolutely certain, you spent 5 million to buy 10 percent of the shares last year, don't you want to become 50 million next year?

Liu Lang joked.

"You're a genius, I can't compare, you say yes, but I'm not going to make records, animation alone makes me crazy, and now we're making Toy Story, which is the company's top priority, I won't care about anything else!"

All of Saint Don's energy is now focused on the production of the animated film "Toy Story", and Lucas is in charge of this matter, and Cheng Hyun is in charge of software development, and the two work together perfectly, and no one wants to do any record work.

"yes, who's going to do that?"

Liu Lang has no shortage of songs, there are nearly 100 classic tracks in his "music library", and all he lacks is someone who is familiar with production.

Lin Guodong, as the CEO, is responsible for the overall work, and most of his energy is consumed by organizing, coordinating, and communicating, and he doesn't know anything about record distribution, so it will take a while to get used to it.

Only Ye Jinsheng is the most suitable candidate, but he has not replied to himself so far.

"Ye Jinsheng, do you really want to stay on Hong Kong Island for the rest of your life?"

Just then, the phone on the desk rang.

Lin Guodong picked up the microphone.

“HElLO!”

Lin Guodong greeted him in English, but it was immediately changed to Chinese.

"Looking for Mr. Liu? Oh...... You are Mr. Ye, yes, Mr. Liu is next to me, you wait a minute!"

"It's that Ye Jinsheng!"

Although Lin Guodong had never met Ye Jinsheng, he also knew that he and Liu Lang had partnered to open a company on Hong Kong Island.

"Brother Ye, is there something wrong?"

Liu Lang hurriedly took the phone.

"Liu Lang, I called your home and said that you were in Los Angeles, so I called Shengtang Company, and you are really here......... I figured it out, Hong Kong Island is too chaotic here, and I'm still a little uncomfortable, so I decided to come to the United States to develop!"

Ye Jinsheng's words made Liu Lang breathe a sigh of relief.

"Brother Ye, your decision is correct, welcome to Los Angeles!"

"Hehe, I won't have anything left when I get there, but I'm sure I'll be able to regain my footing with my skills!"

Giving up everything on Hong Kong Island, it was not easy for Ye Jinsheng to make this decision.

"Brother Ye, just now I was still discussing the establishment of a music record business department with the directors of Shengtang Company, but we were struggling with the person in charge, and now you are coming, this position belongs to you!"

Liu Lang was worried that no one would use it, and it happened that Ye Jinsheng decided to come to the United States to develop at this time, which was really a coincidence.

"Okay......... by the way, Liu Lang, Jingsheng Culture is not sold, I hired a general manager with a high salary, let him be in charge of everything, he is a native of Hong Kong Island, familiar with all kinds of rules, anyway, Jingsheng Culture is now on the right track, it is no problem to follow the step-by-step process!"

He talked to Mr. Shao about this before leaving Hong Kong Island, Mr. Shao proposed to spend 50 million Hong Kong dollars to buy Jingsheng Culture Company, the price of 50 million is not high, Ye Jinsheng has become popular with several young stars in the past two years, Liu Fuhua, Li Tianming, Wang Fei are all popular through Jingsheng Culture, in just two years, they have become a small actor to a hot master, they can bring tens of millions of income to the Shaw Group a year, and Ye Jinsheng has to account for the majority of this credit.

Everyone knows Mr. Shao's stinginess, don't look at Liu Fuhua and Li Tianming are very popular now, but in front of Mr. Shao, they are as well-behaved as a grandson, and they don't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, Ye Jinsheng can cooperate with him because he has an official background, and he can only work obediently if he is someone else, and he doesn't even think about it if he wants to stand on his own, so he can pay 50 million to buy Jingsheng Culture, which is actually very friendly.

But in the end, Ye Jinsheng did not sell Jingsheng Culture, he still has a lot of feelings for the company, and in addition, it can be regarded as leaving a way back for himself, in case he can't stay in the United States, there may be a chance to make a comeback.

Jingsheng Culture has no feelings for Liu Lang, and there are not many shares of ten percent, which is a dividend of one or two million Hong Kong dollars a year, which is only a few hundred thousand dollars converted into US dollars, which is not worth mentioning to Liu Lang at all.

The market determines the scale, and the small place on Hong Kong Island determines that the entertainment industry cannot be big.

In Liu Lang's previous life, in the mid-90s, with the rise of the mainland's entertainment industry, Hong Kong Island immediately went into decline, and in the new century, Hong Kong Island's entertainment industry is like an isolated island without successor, such as the "Four Heavenly Kings" stars have long gone to the mainland to develop, as long as they can be recognized by the mainland, they can make a lot of money, those actors who stick to Hong Kong Island are thousands of miles apart, the annual income is only 100,000 yuan, a film only released in the local area can reach 10 million box office is considered a big hit, where can it be like the mainland at every turn hundreds of millions or even billions, Billions of dollars at the box office are not on the same order of magnitude at all.

There are only two places in the entertainment industry that can make a lot of money, one is the United States, the other is Chinese mainland, and there is no other place, of course, Liu Lang's eyes to make a lot of money refers to the scale of tens of billions of dollars, not the kind of hundreds of millions of "small fights".

Liu Lang put down the phone, the troubles in his heart disappeared, with Ye Jinsheng's help, I believe that in less than a year, the major singing awards in the United States will be occupied by Shengtang Company.

"Jimmy, I want to remind you, although the Shengtang company relies on the rapid development of Transformers, there is still a big gap compared with companies like Marvel DC, and our current cash flow is about 10 million US dollars, our current key project is the movie "Toy Story", if this movie is done according to your requirements, the budget cost will probably exceed this number, if you want to go to the record industry, how to arrange this money? If that's the case, I, as a member of the board of directors, won't agree!"

Lucas looked at Liu Lang with a gloomy face and said.

Not to mention Lucas, even Chengxian is also questioning, he is now leading more than a dozen people to make the corresponding computer program for the project "Toy Story", and a lot of progress has been made, I believe that it will take another year to succeed, but this project is very expensive, the budget has reached three million US dollars, if Liu Lang decides to reduce investment now, then I am afraid it will die.

It's not just Chengxian, but also Edward Carmotel, who is the direct person in charge of "Toy Story", and naturally doesn't want the project to end in nothing.
