Chapter 460: Blocking Yindu and Jiahe
When Zhong Yihong and Weng Meiling were getting along harmoniously, Wang Zifan answered a phone call, and his face was very bad!
"Five Lucky Stars" was rejected for tax-free films!
Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to demolish the Kowloon Walled City to give DreamWorks more benefits, but now that the Kowloon Walled City is about to be demolished, there are problems within the entertainment industry!
The two things sound like they are incompatible, but when it comes to interests, any bull-headed ghost can pop up!
This time, it was not Golden Harvest that hurt him, nor Pan Disheng or Lin Jianyue, but the Left Alliance!
"What's wrong?" Zhong Yihong stepped forward.
"It's nothing!" Wang Zifan shook his head, Zhong Yihong made a lot of movies for the leftists.
"It's nothing, it's about to turn into pig liver color!" Zhong Yihong intercepted the phone, so she was still reporting, she listened to it from beginning to end, and said silently: "Something happened to the theater line?"
Wang Zifan sighed: "I should have thought of it a long time ago. ”
Things are very funny, at a recent film association meeting, the "Silver Capital" cinema chain changed its attitude and directly voted against "Five Lucky Stars", Lin Jianyue took the opportunity to make trouble, causing Hong Jinbao's hard work for several months to be wasted.
Zhong Yihong frowned and said: "This Yindu Cinema Line is also true, why did it suddenly change its hexagram?"
Wang Zifan said helplessly: "What is complicated when it encounters interests, this is also my carelessness, and I even agreed to Hong Jinbao to run for tax-free quota with "Five Lucky Stars". ”
You must know that the premise of being able to enjoy duty-free movies must be to win glory for the Hong Kong government!
In addition to the box office, "Five Lucky Stars" really can't see what it has won glory for Hong Kong, and to be honest, the content in it is suspected of smearing Hong Kong!
Zhong Yihong said: "The movie is so popular, and now it suddenly fails, will it affect you?"
Wang Zifan nodded slowly and shook his head, this matter cannot be explained clearly in a few words, it is estimated that the withdrawal of the Yindu Organization from the meeting was instructed by the mainland, and he had already reminded the film association to be careful of the leftist forces, but the latter did not seem to take it seriously.
Of course, there are also reasons for Shen Chengci, Yindu Cinema is controlled by the mainland, and the films released are all leftist films, but in Hong Kong, this kind of film is not popular with the public, so that the box office is sluggish, Yindu naturally relies on the mainland's financial support, and implements the instructions of the mainland.
Weng Meiling said nervously: "Afan, you don't matter, right?"
Wang Zifan was stunned and said, "What's the matter with me?"
Zhong Yihong said angrily: "Your face scares Ah Weng." ”
Weng Meiling blushed and said, "I don't have it!"
"Or something happened to the Film Association. Wang Zifan quickly calmed down, and said with a confident smile: "Don't worry, even if "Five Lucky Stars" is lost, it will have no impact on us, just relying on the two brushes of the Yindu Organization, it is wishful thinking to snatch the quota." ”
Zhong Yihong said with a smile: "A few days ago, I saw you swearing in the newspaper that movies are tax-free, I thought you would get some benefits." ”
Weng Meiling said: "I think "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother", which is being released now, has the highest box office, why should "Five Lucky Stars" be selected?"
Zhong Yihong showed a strange sneering expression and said: "You don't know Hong Jinbao, he can be inflated now, supported by a group of people, and called Big Brother!"
Weng Meiling was curious: "What does big brother mean?"
Zhong Yihong quipped: "Cheng Long is the big brother in the film industry, and he is the big brother of Cheng Long, isn't he the big brother!"
Weng Meiling pouted, when she first arrived in Hong Kong, she felt that Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao were very amazing, since she followed Wang Zifan, her heart has become higher, under the glory of her man, and then look at Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao, just two workers, what is there to be proud of!
Zhong Yihong smiled: "Anyway, you are in the entertainment industry, you will know it later, and Ah Fan is also very indulgent to them." ”
Wang Zifan said that he was very innocent, he didn't condone Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long, but felt that they were estranged for a while, and they chatted for less than five minutes every time they met, and there was really no common language.
The news of Yindu Organization and Jiahe's opposition to DreamWorks spread far and wide, Xiao Ruoyuan, Shi Nansheng, Mecca and others received the notice of the meeting, Wang Zifan personally presided over the meeting, and everyone did not dare to slack off, and gathered in the conference room ten minutes in advance.
Before the meeting began, everyone exchanged opinions in conversation and laughter, and from time to time made a few jokes, deliberately exaggerating to test one or two, no need to scruple on this occasion, Wang Zifan has not yet appeared, no matter what he says, he does not have to take responsibility.
First of all, Mai Dangxiong's gloating voice sounded: "I said a long time ago, it is impossible for "Five Lucky Stars" to succeed in the election this time, this kind of efficient movie can fool the audience, how can it be recognized by everyone?"
All the film companies in Hong Kong were selected, and Mak Dangxiong was the least optimistic about "Five Lucky Stars", and even said that his "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" was better than "Five Lucky Stars"!
Mecca touched her bright bald head, took a cigar in her mouth, lit a cigar with a faint smile, took a few puffs and said: "I think it's the leftist coalition that has nothing to do, who doesn't know that the movie tax exemption quota was won by Afan, what election is not elected, it is just a formality, they really take themselves seriously"
Zeng Zhiwei said with a smile: "This time the senior brother was calculated by the old club, and I knew that Zou Wenhuai was not happy to attend the meeting in person!"
Xiao Ruoyuan sighed and blamed himself: "Blame me for being careless, Ah Fan has asked me to pay attention to the movements of Yindu Organization and Jiahe Company several times, but I only thought about competing for rights and interests with Jiahe Cinema Line, and was stabbed in the back by Yindu Agency." ”
Mai Dangxiong said disapprerovingly: "Ah Yuan, this is not your fault, who in Hong Kong does not know the background of the Yindu organization, and it still operates at a loss every year, Taiwan can't help this leftist position, they can't look down on "Five Lucky Stars", what can we do?"
Zeng Zhiwei followed and comforted: "Let's just drive Yindu out of the Film Association, lest Taiwan issue a ban order and harm the pond fish. ”
Mecca suddenly looked at Shi Nansheng and said, "I heard that Mr. Wang has prepared a large amount of money?"
"The equipment of the Prince Cinema Line is old, and the seats in several leading theaters are still the seats of more than ten years ago, and Mr. Wang has long wanted to replace them. Shi Nansheng just briefly explained the use of funds, and now who in Hong Kong doesn't know that they Wang has hoarded a lot of funds, and she receives dozens of temptations every day.
Wang Zifan walked into the conference room, didn't talk nonsense, sat down and said: "Two issues, first, the Film Association expels the Yindu organization, and the second is to ban Golden Harvest, and from now on, the film tax exemption quota will be banned from all Golden Harvest movies!"
