In a hotel on the street near the hotel where "Hong Kong Embarrassment" stayed, Cheng Jiashang, Zheng Zhiwei and a man in his early thirties in a black shirt were eating.

Although his face is not fierce, the occasional ruthlessness in his eyes is enough to show that he is not a good person.

"Ah Hui, I'm sorry for you this time, I'll toast you. ”

There was talk and laughter, Zheng Zhiwei poured a full glass of wine and drank it all.

The man known as Ah Hui waved his hand and smiled, "What's the trouble here, it's just a trivial matter." ”

The cup was pushed on the table, and Cheng Jiashang and Zheng Zhiwei could be regarded as breathing a sigh of relief.

Cheng Jiashang was robbed of "Painted Skin" back then, missed this series, and now has made two costume movies in the mainland, although the small-budget movie "Painted Wall" was a big hit at the box office, but the reputation was extremely bad.

The investment in "The Four Famous Catches" has doubled, but the box office is almost the same as "Painted Wall", and neither the box office nor word of mouth can be earned.

These two films are far from comparable to the "Painted Skin" series.

He thinks that he is much better than Wu Ershan, and if he shoots it himself, the box office will only be higher.

Among the directors who are now going north, Xu Ke and Chen Kexin are better than him, and even his apprentice Lin Chaoxian is much better than him.

Zheng Zhiwei doesn't have much grudges, but he is small-minded, and the interview after the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival was disguised, so he held a grudge.

I've been holding it in my heart for a few years, and I finally seized the opportunity, although I can't do anything about the people in the crew of "Hong Kong", but it would be great to add some blockage to them.

If they delay their shooting plans too much, it is best not to catch up with the Spring Festival stalls, which is of course great.

Not long after, a small flat head knocked on the door and came in, looking a little flustered, and said something in Ah Hui's ear.

Ah Hui's face changed, and the wine glass he picked up was put down again.

"Boss Cheng, Ah Wei, my brothers had an accident and they were all arrested by the strips. ”

Dropping these words, Ah Hui left in a hurry, leaving Cheng Jiashang and Zheng Zhiwei, who had bad faces.

"Did they call the police?" Cheng Jiashang wondered.

"It shouldn't be. ”

Zheng Zhiwei shook his head, those gangsters were blocking the downstairs of the hotel, and every time they did anything illegal, the police had no reason to arrest them.

"Wait, we'll find out soon. ”

It didn't take long for Zheng Zhiwei to receive a phone call and learn the specific situation.

Zheng Zhiwei said with a calm face, "It was Tang An who came, and the police department sent a senior superintendent to arrest people personally." ”

"What, he has so much energy?" Cheng Jiashang looked incredulous.

Although the level of the Heung Kong Police Force is only the third-level department, there are three divisions and 12 bureaus, which are subordinate departments of the Security Bureau among the 12 bureaus.

However, this is a law enforcement department with 30,000 police officers, and its status is not low at all.

In addition, the Senior Superintendent is the Deputy Head of Department at Headquarters or the Deputy Commander of the Division.

Zheng Zhiwei nodded, "It was the Deputy Commander of the Criminal Department of the Headquarters who brought people here, along with officials from the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government. ”

!

Cheng Jiashang burst into a foul mouth, and the cup was heavily placed on the table.

......

168-200 Connaught Road Central, Shun Tak Centre, the largest film and television production, distribution and audio-visual products distribution company in Hong Kong, Huaguoxing Group.

In a luxurious office, the affairs of the crew of "Hong Kong Embarrassment" were passed on layer by layer and transferred to the ears of Xiang Huaqiang, the joint *** of Huaguoxing Group.

The underworld boss sat back in his chair, his right hand resting on the table, and his fingers kept tapping twice.

"It's not that the dragon is not the river, since that's the case, then invite this Tang Dong to come to the Peninsula Hotel for me to gather at the Peninsula Hotel in the evening, and all other companies will inform you that the stars in Xiangjiang tonight are invited." ”

The other party was puzzled by Hua Qiang's henchmen, "Do you want to?"

Xiang Huaqiang smiled, "Of course, I welcome this richest man ranked eleventh in the mainland." ”

"But that's it?"

"What's the matter, this matter was done by Zheng Zhiwei and Cheng Jiashang, and it has nothing to do with us. However, he is a big boss in the domestic entertainment industry, and he was frightened in Xiangjiang, so of course we have to express it as the host. ”

The henchman went down to prepare, and Xiang Huaqiang picked up the A4 paper bound together on the table again.

The director, who is worth 22.4 billion, has a huge domestic film market that deeply stimulates Xiang Huaqiang's heart.

With such a big piece of cake, there is no one who doesn't want to take a bite.

"Cold War" and "Listener to the Wind" invested by Eucalyptus and Meiya exploded at the box office, surpassing any previous police and gangster films.

460 million, 360 million, and even in the past ten years of Xiangjiang movies, there has never been such a high box office.

Is it a coincidence?

Or is the movie really good?

Xiang Huaqiang doesn't believe it, just forget about one, two in a row have exploded, and there is only one possibility left.

Hantang Media's publicity and distribution ability is strong enough!

is also a high-quality police film, "Eavesdropping 2" has the foundation of the first part, and it only got more than 100 million box office.

"Counter War" directed by Lin Chaoxian, who won two actors one after another, starring Xie Tingfeng and Jay Chou, has a box office of only 130 million.

The former is issued by Berner, and the latter is Huayi.

Even Yinghuang Investment's "New Shaolin Temple", starring Cheng Long, Liu Dehua, Xie Tingfeng, Huayi, Berner, and China Film, the tripartite distributors, only sold more than 200 million points in China, if it were not a big sale in Southeast Asia, it would definitely lose money.

Except for the films released by Hantang Media, none of the Xiangjiang films have a box office of more than 300 million.

Cooperating with Hantang Media to open up the mainland market is the way out for Heung Kong Film Company.

It's just that Hantang Media never uses Xiangjiang directors, and there are almost no Xiangjiang actors involved.

He knew that Cheng Jiashang and Zheng Zhiwei invited someone to make trouble, and it was still his people, the younger brother of his younger brother.

Xiang Huaqiang didn't stop it, just waited for Tang An to take the initiative to come to the door, and then he took action to help Tang An solve it.

"I didn't expect that!"

He sighed, he didn't expect Tang An to be so decisive, using official connections to arrest people as soon as he came.

But he didn't do it, even if Tang An knew that it was his subordinates, so what?

can achieve a net worth of 20 billion, will this thing still be held on?

Everyone is harmonious and prosperous, and it is the right way to get rich together.

......

Soon after, the CEOs of Yinghuang, Uniasia, Oriental Film and other companies all received invitations from Xiang Huaqiang to have a banquet at the Peninsula Hotel in the evening, Tang An, chairman of Hantang Media.

Yinghuang and Huanya are nothing, but some people are going to regret it.

In the chairman's office of Meiya Entertainment, Li Guoxing, chairman of the board of directors, also just got the news.

Although the domestic box office explosion of "Listener to the Wind" made him a fortune, the producer could only get less than 100 million at the box office of 360 million, and after removing the cost of 80 million, the mainland only earned 20 million.

And after Hantang got back the cost of publicity, there was still a profit of 25.6 million.

worked hard to shoot for more than half a year, and still took most of the risks, and didn't earn as much as others.

Li Guoxing wants to enter the mainland market and do mainland distribution, instead of being like "Listener to the Wind", half of the profits of the domestic box office are taken away by the distributor and are controlled by others.

Originally, I wanted to wait for a day, and the situation would be more serious before I took action, but before today, Tang An flew to Xiangjiang to solve the matter.

He didn't help this time, Tang An must have been quite unhappy in his heart, and Li Guoxing was worried about how to deal with it.

Jiang Zhiqiang, who is still in the same mood, wants to co-publish "Cold War" with Han and Tang, and each takes 5% of the distribution fee, but Han Tang wants to control the distribution and takes 8% of the distribution fee.

Like Li Guoxing's worries, Jiang Zhiqiang doesn't think that Tang An is a curious person.

He has a certain understanding of the CEOs of major domestic companies, and looking at the things Tang An has done, he is by no means a good talker.

And young people, easily impulsive.

After thinking about it, Jiang Zhiqiang dialed the phone number of Song Song, chairman of the Yindu Agency.

......

All major and medium-sized film and television companies in Xiangjiang have received an invitation from Xiang Huaqiang and will gather at The Peninsula Hotel in the evening to hold a welcome banquet.

At the same time, the celebrities who can be named in the entire Xiangjiang have basically received invitations to receive a big shot.

Both men and women dress themselves up beautifully.

came to Xiangjiang and shocked the entire Xiangjiang entertainment circle.

And the protagonist Tang An is now in this ordinary hotel, listening to Xu Zheng's report on the recent situation.

In fact, he knew the matter from getting off the plane, Zheng Zhiwei and Cheng Jiashang, two fools, looking for Xiang Huaqiang's subordinates to make trouble.

Tang An didn't take any trivial matter to heart, and made a special trip to come and see, anyway, he had to go to Baodao to participate in the Golden Horse Awards in two days, so he would be on the way.

I asked about the progress of the movie again, and there are about three or four days before the scene can be completed, and there are still more than two months before the release of the movie, so there is enough time to do the post-production.

After chatting about the movie, the time was not early, Xu Zheng proposed to invite Tang An to dinner.

This is an ordinary hotel, and there is only a box lunch to eat, so you can only go outside to find a restaurant.

"I said Director Xu, you are getting more and more picky, so let everyone live in such a small hotel. Tang An joked with a smile.

Xu Zheng said helplessly, "Dong Tang, isn't this about controlling costs, I can only grieve everyone." ”

If Xu Zheng is a director, then he doesn't control how much money the film company spends.

But now he is also one of the investors, and in addition to the share of the investment, there is also a profit share, and he must control the cost, which is all his own money.

"Haha, let's go, let's eat, I'll invite everyone to have a good meal, it's been hard for everyone this time. ”

"Why are you in a daze to protect the wall, let's go. Seeing that Wang Baoqiang was a little distracted, Tang An patted him on the shoulder.

"Oh, it's okay, I'm thinking about what I'll eat later. Wang Baoqiang smiled innocently.

During this time, Wang Baoqiang has been secretly paying attention to Xu Zheng's work, of course, the director's work.

He is not from a professional background, and if he wants to make movies, in addition to studying theory, it is also necessary to observe how other directors film.

To control costs, Wang Baoqiang remembered one more.

However, before everyone left the conference room, some crew members brought this pretty young woman in professional attire over.

"Hello Tang Dong, I am Mr. Xiang's secretary, and tonight Mr. Xiang will call various film and television companies in Xiangjiang to pick you up at the Peninsula Hotel. ”

Xiang Huaqiang?

Tang An narrowed his eyes, then nodded, "I know, when?"

The young woman smiled sweetly, "The hotel will send a convoy to pick you up, and the car will arrive in about an hour." ”

"Okay, I got it. ”

"Thank you for the light, then I'll go first. The young woman sent the invitation and left.

Tang An smiled at everyone, "Come on, there is a free meal to eat now, let's prepare it, and gather downstairs in an hour." ”

Xu Zheng was a little worried, "Tang Dong, this is not good." ”

Tang An waved his hand and said, "What are you afraid of, even if it is a Hongmen banquet, you have to go to them for a while to see what they want to do." ”

An hour later, a convoy of Rolls-Royce Phantoms, plus several Mercedes-Benz S600s, stopped in front of the hotel.

The pomp and circumstance are quite large, but the Peninsula also has helicopter transfers, so it's no surprise.

Tang An took everyone to the car and went to this "Hongmen Banquet" to meet the film and television bigwigs in Xiangjiang for a while.
