Chapter 139 New Oriental Cinema [Ask for the first order!]

In the melodious sound of the Scottish flute, the camera came to a cemetery, and a tombstone of Chen Yongren appeared in everyone's sight, with a black and white posthumous photo of Chen Yongren posted on the tombstone, and below the posthumous photo were three golden characters of "Chen Yongren", and the following was written: "Heroic spirit lasts forever, heroic sacrifice!"

Three male musicians in long Scottish skirts play distant and mournful music, rhythmically beating small drums, and the atmosphere is solemn and solemn.

Chen Huilin stood in the front row with a bouquet of flowers, her eyes were filled with lingering sadness, Officer Ye stared ahead, Xiao Yan had already cried into tears at this time, and the little girl beside her looked at her with a puzzled face, I don't know why she was crying so sadly, and then the little girl looked at the photo on the tombstone curiously, maybe she didn't know that she had lost her biological father forever.

Chen Yongren on the tombstone still had a hint of an uninhibited smile, Chen Huilin looked at him and said, "How are you?

As soon as the camera turned, Liu Jianming, as a representative of the police force, saluted and saluted Chen Yongren, and all the policemen behind him raised their hands to salute Chen Yongren at the same time.

Liu Jianming closed his eyes slightly, his expression was extremely complicated, as if he was sad, but more of a relief!

"cut!" Lin Cheng shouted and said with a smile: "I announce that "Infernal Affairs" is finished, and the whole world is done!"

All the crew members cheered when they heard this, and Liang Chaowei walked over from behind the crowd and looked meaningfully at his photo on the tombstone.

Andy Lau walked over at this time and said with a smile: "How about it, is it fun to attend your own funeral?"

Liang Chaowei laughed when he heard this, and said: "After participating in Chen Yongren's funeral, I will be freed from this role, I don't want to be Chen Yongren anymore, this role is too tragic, it is you Liu Jianming who has been promoted for meritorious service, and I, Chen Yongren, have only been honored after death!"

Andy Lau said with a complicated face: "Compared with Liu Jianming, in fact, I like the role of Chen Yongren more, Chen Yongren has too much room to play in the movie, and I can only be responsible for playing cool and handsome, next year's actor will be yours." ”

Liang Chaowei glanced at Andy Lau meaningfully: "One day, you will also get this award, you don't need to envy me at all." In fact, what I envy more is your positive attitude and hard work. ”

Lin Cheng walked over at this time and said with a smile: "Do you think "Infernal Affairs" is over like this, haha, I think it's too beautiful, "Infernal Affairs" is a trilogy of movies, Brother Hua, don't be discouraged, your role in "Infernal Affairs 3" has a major role, and you have a lot more scenes than Chen Yongren, work hard to study your acting skills, maybe it will be your turn to be the Golden Statue actor in two years." ”

Liang Chaowei and Andy Lau were taken aback when they heard this, and said in unison: "There are still two parts of "Infernal Affairs"?"

Lin Cheng nodded and replied: "The second part is a prequel, the protagonist will be transferred to Wu Yanzu and Xie Lemon, and the third part is the real ending, all the holes in the first part will be filled, and Liu Jianming will also get the ending he deserves." ”

Andy Lau said: "Director Lin, are you so sure that the first part will not hit the street? If the box office of the first part is not satisfactory, then there is no need to make the second and third parts, right?"

Liang Chaowei also looked at Lin Cheng with deep meaning, looking forward to how he would answer this question.

Lin Cheng smiled confidently and said: "Hit the street? You think too much, do you really think that I said that the box office of this movie will exceed 50 million is casually? I, Lin Cheng, will do what I say!"

……

The Hollywood movie "Jurassic Park" landed in Xiangjiang in 1993 and achieved a box office of more than 60 million, successfully winning the box office championship in Xiangjiang, and breaking the myth of the previous Hong Kong film that has been the box office champion for decades.

Subsequently, Western films were pressed year after year, Hong Kong films were defeated and retreated, and the glorious era of Xiangjiang films was gone forever, and there was no improvement until 2007, when Lin Cheng hung up.

However, just when Xiangjiang Films were in full swing, Oriental Cinema Company, which had been in a state of bankruptcy, broke the news on September 23 and invited major media in Xiangjiang to hold a press conference, saying that there was major news to be announced soon.

Zhuo Wei and the photojournalist were rushing to the Oriental Cinema Line in a taxi, and they were going to attend a press conference held by the Oriental Cinema Company.

After Paul Li poached Zhuo Wei from other newspapers, he did not use him as an ordinary employee, but at Lin Cheng's suggestion, he handed over the newly established entertainment gossip weekly "See You on Monday!" to him.

Zhuo Wei likes to peek into the private affairs of celebrities, and naturally likes this job to the extreme.

"See You on Monday!" has not yet been published, and it is the time to search for entertainment content, and it coincides with the big news that the Oriental Cinema Company needs to announce, and he and his photojournalists rushed over early in the morning.

The taxi stopped at the gate of the Oriental Cinema Company, and as soon as they got out of the car, they found that there were many nearby media who had arrived at the scene one step ahead of them, Zhuo Wei was not afraid of difficulties, and pulled the photojournalist to squeeze forward desperately, because he was tall and big, he was really squeezed to the front, but it also caused the surrounding peers to complain, and greeted Zhuo Wei's eighteenth generation relatives.

Zhuo Wei squeezed to the front desk only to find that the originally lifeless Oriental Cinema Company had been renovated, and there were many large flower baskets at the door of the theater, all of which were the kind of flower baskets that colleagues from all walks of life celebrated the company's opening, and the Logo on the Oriental Cinema Building also added a word, adding a big red word "new" in front of the four big characters of "Oriental Cinema Line", which is connected to "New Oriental Cinema Line"!

"I'm grass! Oriental Cinema Line is going to change owners! This is big news!" Zhuo Wei is worthy of being a veteran reporter, and when he saw the big situation in front of him, he knew that Oriental Cinema Line had been acquired.

Since January 1, 1993, Oriental Cinema Line has been operating side by side, along with Xinbao, Jiale, Jinsheng and Yonggao, and is one of the five major cinema chains in Xiangjiang.

"Now that the movie market is becoming more and more popular, coupled with the ferocity of Western films and the proliferation of pirated discs, Xiangjiang Movies is completely hopeless, which fish is so stupid that still comes to be Huang Baiming's pick-up man at this time?" Zhuo Wei said puzzled.

The answer was soon revealed, and when the press conference was about to begin, Huang Baiming, the owner of Oriental Cinema Line, and Zeng Zhiwei of Flying Eagle Entertainment walked in front of everyone, while Lin Cheng followed behind everyone in a low-key manner.

That's right, there is no one other than Lin Cheng in Zhuo Wei's eyes, and the cinema business is the lowest point in the history of the Xiangjiang film industry.

There are a total of fifteen cinemas in the Oriental Cinema Line, which coincided with the sluggishness of the world, and Lin Cheng only spent 70 million Hong Kong dollars to win these fifteen cinemas!

When the acquisition agreement was reached, Huang Baiming, the former proprietor of Oriental Cinemas, also thanked Lin Cheng for his kindness, and his tone was quite grateful to Lin Cheng for acting as a pick-up man.

It's no wonder that Huang Baiming is anxious to get rid of it, the operation of Oriental Cinema Line began on January 1, 1993 and lasted until the end of 96, and it was already closed in 97.

There are many reasons why Huang Baiming no longer does the cinema, according to his autobiography: first, the Xiangjiang film market is declining, piracy has appeared, piracy is the end of 1994 VCD appeared, 95, 96 years more and more powerful, Xiangjiang people no longer go to the theater to watch plays, so the burden of doing theaters is very heavy.

Second, it is too difficult to do a cinema chain, now the Xiangjiang film industry has long since lost the prosperity of the golden age, a large number of film companies have closed down, and the output of Hong Kong's films is only more than 100 a year, and even Golden Harvest, which has dominated the Xiangjiang film industry for decades, only had the output of more than 10 films in 1997, and the film source is so lacking, how can the cinema be opened?

Third, the most important reason why Huang Baiming is inconvenient to announce it, that is, doing a cinema in Xiangjiang is a loss-making business, and all the money he earned in the Oriental Film Company is posted on the Oriental Cinema Line, and it is difficult for him not to regard the Oriental Cinema Line as a burden!

However, his arsenic is my honey, Huang Baiming regards the Oriental Cinema Line as a poison burden, but for Lin Cheng, who has mastered countless classic movies in later generations, Nima's cinema business is simply not too profitable, as long as he makes a lot of money in later generations and shows them in his own theater, countless small money will fall into his pocket.

That's right, now piracy is rampant, all kinds of video discs are rampant in the market, and people no longer go to the cinema to consume, but later, with the continuous upgrading of film technology, the people will finally feel that watching movies in the cinema has a feeling, especially later 3D blockbusters and IMax blockbusters are popular, and the cinema is making a lot of money, and the people are finally coaxed back to the cinema by these new film technologies.

It's a pity that Huang Baiming is not a reborn, and he can't last until the new technology of the film is popular, and the common people return to the cinema, so he can only be cheap Lin Cheng, a guy who can see through the next twenty years.

"Dear colleagues and friends in the media circle, thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to participate in the press conference of the Oriental Cinema Line, as the chairman of the Oriental Cinema Line, I released a major news, that is, the Oriental Cinema Company has been wholly owned by Mr. Lin Cheng, a miracle boy from the mainland, and I will talk to Lin Sheng for the signing ceremony later, and now I invite Lin Sheng to tell you a few words. ”

At the beginning of the press conference, Huang Baiming was not verbose, and bluntly announced the news that Oriental Cinema Line had been acquired by Lin Cheng, which caused an uproar in the audience.

Oriental Cinemas was acquired?

Who is so stupid to be a pick-up man!

I'm grass! The pick-up man is Lin Cheng!

There's nothing wrong with it, in today's sluggish movie market, a don't bad money owner like Lin Cheng is qualified to squander cash checks!

Huang Baiming, this guy is also out of shit luck, the poor performance of Oriental Cinema Line was actually caught by Lin Cheng at a glance, and unwanted garbage can be sold at a gold price.
