After saying goodbye to Xu Ke, Huang Zhan and others, Xia returned to the company and immediately recruited Chen Yixin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Brother Tian, are you looking for me?" Chen Yixin asked with a smile.

"Yes, how is our new cinema chain doing now, and when will it pass the acceptance and officially open for business?"

"I am already going through the process, and the acceptance will be completed within half a month, so it should not be a big problem. Chen Yixin replied, "Our theater is designed by famous artists, and we are invited to build by well-known decoration companies, and the quality should be guaranteed." ”

"Well, keep an eye on it and try not to go wrong. Summer nodded, "The leading theater in our hands will be returned to Shaw Brothers next month." If by then, the new cinema chain can't be a film industry, it will be a joke. ”

"Brother Tian is right, I will keep an eye on it. Chen Yixin nodded, "By the way, Brother Tian, we really don't plan to rent those four leading theaters anymore?"

"Even if we want to rent, Sir Shao won't agree. Summer waved her hand and smiled.

In the past six months or so, he has been fighting with Shao Yifu like a black-eyed chicken, so it's no wonder that people are willing to rent the theater to him again.

"Although the truth is so, after all, it is four chickens that can lay golden eggs! Chen Yixin shook his head and sighed, "I also heard that several companies want to lease and acquire those four theaters." We don't rent, we cheapen others for nothing. ”

"Oh, you've heard the news too?" Xia said with a smile, "Tell me, which ones are working on these four theaters?"

"As far as I've heard, there are four companies: Debao, Golden Harvest, Xinyicheng and Good Friends. Chen Yixin said.

When Xia heard this, he laughed and said, "Good friends dare to fight the idea of these four theaters? How much money does it have?

Debao is a company funded by the famous brand king Pan Disheng. And Pan Disheng's net worth is conservatively estimated to be one billion Hong Kong dollars, so renting four leading cinemas is not a big problem.

Jiahe's family has a big business, and Xinyi City also has Lei Juekun's funding, plus the summer also provided them with a loan, so it is not surprising that they also dare to hit the idea of these four theaters.

What is surprising is that the good friend film company, funded by Huang Yulang and newly founded, dares to be delusional about the idea of beating these four theaters, which is really greedy and not enough to swallow elephants.

Huang Yulang has made a lot of money in the past year, and since the company went public in October last year, it has raised funds four times through rights issues. From a net worth of less than 100 million Hong Kong dollars before, his worth has now soared to one billion Hong Kong dollars.

And he makes money easily, as long as he stuffs the pump head into the stock market, there will be a steady stream of money flowing into his pocket, so it will inevitably swell hard.

He doesn't even pay attention to Jin Daxia and Hu Xian'er, and it is naturally not unusual for him to want to be a movie tycoon. Chen Yixin pouted and said, very disdainful of Huang Yulang, who didn't know what his surname was after making a little money.

Huang Yulang only earned a total of one billion Hong Kong dollars, and he earned more than six billion Hong Kong dollars in the first year of summer, and I didn't see him as arrogant as Huang Yulang!

"He really doesn't know how many taels of dry rice he can eat! Are Mr. Cha and Hu Xian'er also comparable to him?" Xia sneered, "The two of them have been famous for many years, how thick are their connections in Hong Kong? Huang Yulang is just a nouveau riche compared to others, but he doesn't know how to restrain himself, and he is not ashamed to speak, and sooner or later he will be on his heels." ”

"Well, Brother Tian, you don't have to worry about him like this, you can't toss any big storms. Chen Yixin also smiled.

"Hey, no! He's disgusting, but you can't ignore him. When Xia heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Keep an eye on me, and if you find out that they are in contact with the Shaw Brothers, you will notify me immediately." These four theaters can be given to Xinyicheng and Jiahe, but they can't be given to companies such as Debao and Good Friends. ”

……

Whether it is Zou Wenhuai of Golden Harvest, Mai Jia of New Art City, or Lei Juekun of Princess Jin, they are all very sincere filmmakers. Although they are businessmen, they also genuinely love movies.

However, Debao's Pan Di is just a free advertisement for the movie. Most of the films he has invested in are urban films, in which the actors wear designer clothes provided by Pan Disheng and become his free models. And the movie also helped him make money, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

In the 90s, with the influx of hot money into the Hong Kong film industry, the cost of filming increased greatly, and profits began to shrink again. In addition, Pan Disheng has already made a sign, and he no longer needs movies to help him promote, so he finally liquidated Debao.

It can be seen that Pan Disheng is not a qualified filmmaker. A qualified filmmaker, even when the market is bad, will not think of giving up.

Just like Golden Harvest, after 97, Hong Kong films declined badly, but it still insists on making films. It's a pity that it didn't last long in the end, and it was sold because the funds dried up.

And good friends are authentic leather bag companies, although they are now prosperous, with many stars and abundant funds, in fact, they are all bubbles. Because those funds are not theirs, but Huang Yulang's. Once Huang Yulang has financial problems, he will definitely transfer his good friend's funds. And although those celebrities are good friends now, they have not signed a contract, and they may change jobs and leave at any time.

Therefore, a film company like Good Friends is not reliable at all. The theater gives it to them, and they don't last long, and in the end, they are likely to be taken advantage of by overseas filmmakers, which is bad.

You must know that in the current Hong Kong film market, the reason why Hong Kong films can crush Western films and the box office is more than double every year is not because the quality of Western films is poor, and Hong Kong films beat Western films, but because the three major cinema chains in Hong Kong do not release Western films. Western films can only be released in special western film theaters such as Anle Cinema Line, and the scale is much smaller than that of the three major theater chains, so the box office naturally can't go up.

But if these Western cinema dealers get those four cinemas, the situation will be very different. At that time, Western films will have the possibility of expanding their releases, which will inevitably encroach on Hong Kong's film market.

In the previous life, it was because of the establishment of Xinbao Cinema Line that Hollywood blockbusters invaded Hong Kong on a large scale, which eventually turned the Hong Kong film market around, Western films became popular, and Hong Kong films retreated step by step, and finally lost the market.

(Xinbao Cinemas doesn't have its own production company, so whoever's movies are shown at the top of their lungs.) Hong Kong films sell Hong Kong films, and Western films sell out Western films, which has no ethics, which also provides an opportunity for Western films to invade Hong Kong. ）

"But these four theaters belong to Sir Shao, and he wants to rent them to others, can we stop them?" Chen Yixin asked suspiciously.

"When we signed the contract before, it was agreed that our company had the right to renew the lease first. Summer said, "With this one here, it should be able to cause them a little trouble." ”

Chen Yixin nodded, "Then I'll go and study with the lawyer to see how effective this clause is." ”

"Well, okay, go ahead. Hearing him say this, Summer nodded with satisfaction.

Chen Yixin knew to consult a professional when he encountered something, instead of only knowing how to fight and kill like he was stupid before, which really made him very happy.

……

Two days later, Summer received an invitation to go to Tianxia Records to record the song "Men Should Be Self-Improvement".

The soundtrack of this song, Huang Zhan has already composed it, and invited a professional orchestra to play it, and it has been recorded.

"Mr. Xia, thank you for inspiring me. This piece is a song that I synthesized more than 20 different versions of "The General's Order" to finally compose the most suitable version. Huang Zhan said with a smile.

There are many different versions of the ancient music of "General Order", different instruments, and different musicians play it, and the feeling is different. In order to be perfect, Huang Zhan synthesized the advantages of more than 20 "General Orders", and finally composed this version of "Men Should Be Self-Improvement".

"Uncle Zhan is really careful and attentive, which is admirable. Summer smiled, "Then let's start recording." ”

Huang Zhan nodded, and then asked with a smile, "Don't worry, let's find out how to feel first, do you need to drink some water, drink an egg white or something?"

Many singers usually do a few things before recording a song to make themselves feel better. For example, drink a lot of water, drink egg whites, drink honey tea, and even drink alcohol. In short, there are many strange things, and it is not unusual to do anything.

Summer smiled and waved her hand, "Don't be so troublesome, I'm not used to it that much." ”

"Then you should try the sound first. Huang Zhan smiled, "When the time comes, according to your vocal range, see how many keys you should drop." ”

Summer nodded, entered the recording studio, put on a headset, pointed at the microphone, and saw Huang Zhan gesture to him, and then the music sounded, and he sang along with the music.

The suona at the beginning of "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" was crisp and loud, and the sound vibrated the roof tiles, which made people's spirits rise up at once. With the sound of earth-shattering gongs and drums, people's qi and blood boiled all at once.

"General Order" is said to be a military music from the Tang Dynasty, which mainly expresses the majesty and solemnity of the ancient generals when they were promoted, the vigor and lightness when they went out on the expedition, and the fierce tension during the battle.

So in terms of morale, it's really good.

When I heard this song in the summer, I couldn't help but get my blood boiling.

Then as soon as the node arrived, he sang along with the music.

"Proud and arrogant

Warm blood is better than red sunshine

……”

He heard this song many times in his previous life, and he was familiar with it, and now when he sings it with music, he naturally sings it with a nose and eyes.

Seeing this, Huang Zhan was greatly surprised.

Because the average singer can't read sheet music and can't understand a song well, how to sing it can be more moving. So before they record an album, they are usually taught by a professional teacher.

Huang Zhan saw that he hadn't learned it in the summer, and he could sing so well, and he really deserved to be a musical talent.

"Mr. Xia is really so good at everything!" Huang Zhan stroked a few whiskers on his chin, "Amazing!"
