At noon, Wu Jiarong invited guests to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Luo Kai and the others.

Originally, with his character, he had to have a good chat with Luo Kai, and then kill one or two bottles of red wine to be happy.

But today, Wu Jiarong had no alcohol at all, and he was very distracted, so he left in a hurry after eating.

Luo Kai understands this very well, after all, for Wu Jiarong, his proposal will change the trajectory of his fate to a large extent, and it is normal to have concerns and conflicts in his heart.

However, for Luo Kai, no matter whether Wu Jiarong agrees or not, the DreamWorks Xiangjiang branch is to be established, and the acquisition of Oriental Star is also imperative.

In the afternoon, he took his assistant to the New Vision Building in the New Territories again.

This is where Oriental Star's company is located.

Coming to Oriental Star again, this first-class special effects production company in Xiangjiang gave Luo Kai a bit of a chaotic look, the atmosphere was full of tension and anxiety, as if something bad was happening.

The person who received Luo Kai was still Song Zhiwen, the general manager of Oriental Star, this middle-aged man with an elegant temperament looked preoccupied, with heavy bags under his eyes and as if he had not rested well, and the whole person looked very haggard.

However, in the face of Luo Kai, who visited again, Song Zhiwen still tried his best to cheer up and diligently accompanied Luo Kai to inspect the special effects production progress of "Across the Seas".

After Luo Kai left Hong Kong and returned to Beijing at the beginning of the month, Duan Jianming has always been here in charge of the later stage of the film, and he has been squatting on the side of Oriental Star almost every day for more than two weeks, but he happened to go to Garbo Pictures in the afternoon, so the two could not meet until the evening.

Duan Jianming's work is very serious, under his supervision, the progress of the special effects production of "Across the Seas" is not slow, Song Zhiwen asked the special effects artist to play a completed picture, and the effect still makes Luo Kai satisfied.

Oriental Star deserves to be the first-class special effects production company in Hong Kong, although it cannot be compared with Hollywood's top counterparts, but for an action movie like "Across the Seas", it fully meets the requirements.

The key is to save money, and if the same thing is handed over to a Hollywood team to produce, the cost will at least multiply several times.

This strengthened Luo Kai's idea of acquiring Oriental Star.

Of course, he won't tell Song Zhiwen about this idea for the time being, even if the other party is the key person he must retain in the acquisition process.

"Mr. Song, is there something wrong with you?"

In Song Zhiwen's general manager's office, after Luo Kai sat down, he asked bluntly: "Why do I feel that the atmosphere is a little wrong?"

The muscles on Song Zhiwen's face twitched.

To be honest, Luo Kai's problem made him very entangled, because normally, he shouldn't have told Luo Kai the truth, the latter's business is being produced here.

But the thing has happened, and it can't be hidden from anyone at all, even the employees of the company know about it, and it is very boring to hide it from Luo Kai, Luo Kai only needs to inquire about it, then he will definitely be able to understand the truth.

Song Zhiwen is good at technology and weak in communication, he is not the kind of person who is old and spicy, so after struggling for a while, he still decided to tell Luo Kai the truth.

It turned out that although Song Zhiwen was the general manager of Oriental Star, he only held 10% of the shares, and most of the shares were in the hands of Liu Jincheng, the chairman of the company.

Liu Jincheng is also the owner of Xiangjiang Jincheng Film Company, not only shoots and produces movies by himself, but also has a small cinema chain and has opened 5 cinemas on Hong Kong Island.

But that's in the past tense.

Different from Wu Hao, Liu Jincheng's career can be said to be all in the film industry, he founded Jincheng Pictures, founded the Hong Kong cinema line, and invested in Oriental Star, penetrating into all aspects of the film industry.

During the boom period of Xiangjiang films, Liu Jincheng made a lot of money by building this industrial chain by himself, but with the decline of Xiangjiang films, his career continued to decline.

Faced with the same predicament, Wu Hao shifted the focus of his career to other areas to avoid risks, and also actively looked for a way out for Garbo Pictures, such as cooperating with Dream Media.

However, Liu Jincheng firmly believes that Xiangjiang Films still has a lot to do, and has made frequent moves in the past few years, investing in four or five big-budget films, but only one film barely recovers its cost, and the others are all lost.

At the beginning of July, "The Moment of Death" produced by Jincheng Pictures was released simultaneously in Xiangjiang and the mainland, and as a result, this police film with an investment of 70 million yuan and invited a number of high-profile stars in Xiangjiang to join the box office hit the street.

In the two weeks after its release, the box office in Xiangjiang was only 12 million, and in the mainland, it was squeezed miserably by several domestic and Hollywood summer vacation blockbusters, and the box office barely exceeded 10 million, which was even worse.

Today's Xiangjiang films are quite unaccustomed to the mainland because the appreciation level of mainland audiences has already undergone tremendous changes, and many Xiangjiang film companies and directors are still clinging to the past routines, and it is obviously impossible to expect mainland audiences to buy the same.

The most important thing is that the main movie-going group in the mainland is no longer the group of people who like Xiangjiang movies in the eighties and nineties, and the box office appeal of Xiangjiang's veteran stars is getting weaker and weaker in the mainland.

The box office fiasco of "The Moment of Death" dealt a heavy blow to Liu Jincheng, who has been in debt for several years, and originally hoped to rely on this movie to turn over, at least to take a breath, but instead he was kicked again.

In the absence of a way, Liu Jincheng could only tide over the difficulties by selling the properties under his name, and the Hong Kong Cinema Line and Oriental Star undoubtedly became his first choice for cutting meat.

First it came out within the company, and then it quickly got the news here, and the employees were naturally panicked.

Oriental Star's situation has not been good in recent years, and it is in a situation of losing money year after year, once it is sold by Liu Jincheng, maybe the employees will lose their jobs because of this.

"Mr. Luo, don't worry..."

After revealing the inside information, Song Zhiwen almost patted his chest and promised: "We will definitely complete the "Across the Seas" project on time and guarantee that the release of this movie will not be delayed." ”

Luo Kai nodded, thinking in his heart that it was really a coincidence.

He had some knowledge of the background of Oriental Star, otherwise he would not have planned to acquire this first-class special effects production company in Xiangjiang, but he didn't expect that things would change so much in less than a month.

Oriental Star was actually going to be sold by Liu Jincheng.

For Luo Kai, there are pros and cons, the advantage is that there will be no obstacles to the acquisition, and the trouble is that there are likely to be a few more competitors.

But overall, the pros outweigh the disadvantages.

After thinking about it, Luo Kai smiled and said, "Mr. Song, how about having a meal together in the evening?"

If the core figure of the Oriental Star can be pulled into his camp in advance, then the acquisition will undoubtedly be much smoother.

The second one is sent.
