With Kwan Chi-lam's discharge from the hospital, and her refusal to admit that she committed suicide by cutting her wrists, the media gradually lost interest in reporting, but at this time, another major event happened in the entertainment industry - Wei Xiong bought Kester Building in Wan Chai and began to restructure its company.

Kester Building was originally the property of a British-owned conglomerate, but as a result of the signing of the Sino-British Joint Declaration, many British-owned conglomerates have more or less sold off some assets, including Kester Building, which is located in Wan Chai, just a few kilometres from Central.

The day after the signing of the agreement to acquire Kester Tower, Wei Xiong's long-planned restructuring plan began, in which his four companies: Media Asia Records, Webster Films, Tianheng Pictures and Westster Film Distribution, would be reorganized into the Westster Entertainment Group.

Secondly, all the artists, directors and screenwriters of Media Asia Records, Webster Films and Tianheng Film and Television will be spun off separately to form the Merriam-Webster Agency, which is to improve efficiency, facilitate management and save excess expenses caused by overlap.

After the completion of the reorganization, the share structure of Media Asia Records, Weishi Films, Tianheng Film and Television and Weishi Film Distribution will remain unchanged; Wei Xiong owns 100% of the shares of the parent company Weishi Entertainment Group, while the share structure of the newly formed Weishi Brokerage is three-third, mainly because most of its artists are from Media Asia Records, so Le Zhenghong and Luo Dayou each own 8% of the shares of the new company.

There have also been significant changes in positions, mainly in senior management: Fan Wei, the former president of Webster Films, has been promoted to vice president of Weststers Entertainment Group.

Zeng Zhiwei, the former vice president and director of production of Webster Films, filled the vacancy and was promoted to president of Westway Films, but no longer served as director of production.

Le Zhenghong, the former director and vice president of Media Asia Records, was promoted to President of Media Asia Records, and Wei Xiong no longer served as the President of Media Asia Records, but personally served as the Chairman of the Board of Directors and President of Mergy Entertainment Group. The board of directors of the Merriam-Webster Entertainment Group will be composed of the senior management of each subsidiary.

Then, it took nearly a month to move all the branches from their original offices into the Kester Building.

Kester Building has 19 floors, with the office area of Tianheng Film and Television on the third to fifth floors, the sixth floor of Merriam-Webster Film Distribution, the seventh-tenth floor of Media Asia Records, the eleventh to fifteenth floor of Merriam-Webster Films, the sixteenth floor of Merriam-Webster Brokerage, and the seventeenth-eighteenth floor of the head office.

The last and nineteenth floors are Wei Xiong's offices. The first and second floors are the canteens and rest and entertainment areas for the company's employees.

So far, a new giant in the Hong Kong entertainment industry has been formed, involving almost the entire entertainment industry, it can be said that the restructuring is not only a matter of the entertainment industry, but also a commercial event, so even the "Commercial Daily" such a commercial newspaper has made a key report on the front page, and the evaluation given in the article is: The reorganization has laid a solid foundation for the future development of Wei.

At the same time, Wei Xiong has also become the object of admiration, worship, and even worship by countless people, and it only took one year to go from an ordinary singer to the present, not only worth billions, but also become one of the most powerful people in the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry.

Genius, genius, and eccentric, these adjectives no longer seem to be enough to sum up his extraordinary.

"When I first met you, you were still a singer, but I didn't expect that in just one year, you would already be an entertainment tycoon in Hong Kong. Cui Muqing walked up to Wei Xiong with a cup of hot coffee.

At this time, she was wearing only a translucent nightdress, and she could clearly see the wonderful spring light inside, just half an hour earlier, she and Wei Xiong had just finished a fierce hand-to-hand fight in this luxurious lounge, in Wei Xiong's words, - to break the new bed.

The entire 19th floor is Wei Xiong's private area, which is divided into several rooms, of which the final area is Wei Xiong's office, and there is a lounge in the office, which is actually similar to a bedroom, and is equipped with an ultra-luxurious bathroom with a large bathtub.

There are several secretary rooms outside the office, except for one used by Cui Muqing, the rest are empty, but Wei Xiong has already planned to recruit two more secretaries, after all, he is now the president of the entire group, and he has a lot of things to deal with every day, but he has some other things to do.

So I can only recruit a few more secretaries to share the burden. There is also a large conference room for dozens of people to meet at the same time and a small screening room.

"Hehe, what is this, in five years I will be sitting in the highest office in Hong Kong. Wei Xiong took the coffee with one hand and Cui Muqing with the other, and said proudly facing the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window. In an instant, Cui Muqing only felt that his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

At this moment, there was nothing else in her eyes except Wei Xiong, and an extreme worship had completely overwhelmed her soul at some point.

"Boss......" Wei Xiong, who hadn't heard the following for a long time, lowered his head and looked at Cui Muqing suspiciously: "What's wrong, it seems to be unhappy?"

"Nope. Cui Muqing's hand gently stroked Wei Xiong's bare chest, and after a while, he said, "You're going to recruit a new secretary." ”

Hearing this, Wei Xiong immediately knew what Cui Muqing was thinking again, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Little fool, don't think nonsense, didn't you say that you want to be my secretary for the rest of your life? As long as you talk well, I will also speak well, and you will always be my first secretary." ”

"In this way, the matter of recruiting a secretary will be handled by you, and whoever is qualified and who is not qualified will have the final say on you alone, so it's all right. ”

Cui Muqing's face reappeared with a smile, because he had just experienced some passion, his face still had a red tide that had not receded, this smile unconsciously contained thousands of styles, and as he followed Wei Xiong for a long time, Cui Muqing became more and more delicate.

No, there is a good entertainment tabloid to give Cui Muqing the title of "Hong Kong's most beautiful secretary", which shows that Cui Muqing's beauty is already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, if a single round of fame, Cui Muqing will definitely not be inferior to any big-name star, or even surpassed.

"Boss, don't worry, I will definitely help you choose two satisfactory secretaries. ”

"Hehe, you can just look at it, change your clothes. After speaking, Wei Xiong turned around and went to get dressed, it was only four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still work time.

The two got dressed, Wei Xiong went back to the office to process the documents, and Cui Muqing also went back to his secretary's room. After more than half an hour, Cui Muqing walked in from outside with a document on his face, still with a smile on his face: "Boss, this is from Paramount just faxed over." ”

"Oh?" Wei Xiong's eyes lit up immediately, calculating the time, "Human and Ghost Love" has been released for a week, and the box office of the first week should come out, so he hurriedly took the file and looked at it, and after a while: "Hahaha, I knew that "Human and Ghost Love" would not disappoint me." ”

$74.25 million!!

This is the first week box office of "Ghost Love", and with this shocking data, it temporarily topped the Christmas box office.

It is said that Wei Xiong, who premiered "Ghost Love" in New York, did not participate in the reorganization and relocation of the group because the group was being reorganized, but only asked Wu Siyuan as his representative. But he knew the day after the premiere box office - $11.72 million, just slightly lower than he remembered.

At the same time, he has been communicating with Paramount every day in the past few days, so it is not surprising that "Ghost Love" can achieve such a box office.

"Hehe, now those who are waiting to see your joke boss, it is probably time to lose their big teeth. Cui Muqing said with a sense of schadenfreude.

"It's just a bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well. Wei Xiong smiled disdainfully. When he first invested in the filming of "Ghost Love", many people in the circle thought he was arrogant, and these people took Golden Harvest as a lesson from the past. are waiting for the movie to hit the streets, watching his jokes.

Even after the news that "Ghost Love" was about to be released worldwide at Christmas, many people did not change their original intention to ridicule him. Well, now that the hard facts are in front of him, Wei Xiong is tantamount to giving a resounding slap in the face to those who are waiting to see his jokes.

"Did the Hong Kong side come out at the box office in the first week?" Because of the time difference, the release time of "Ghost Love" in Hong Kong was one day later than in North America. However, perhaps because most of the faces in the film are European and American faces, the box office did not meet his expectations.

"Didn't I give it to you just now? Cui Muqing glanced at Wei Xiong angrily. She was caught in the lounge because of the box office data.

Wei Xiong took a look, and then remembered that Cui Muqing did give him a document just now, as if it was the first week of the Hong Kong side, but at that time, his mind was all on Cui Muqing, and then he had a big battle in the lounge, so he forgot about it.

looked for it on the desk, and finally found the box office data under the few documents he had reviewed just now, and opened it to see that the box office in the first week was only 10.52 million Hong Kong dollars, which could exceed 10 million, which was much lower than the previous "God of Gamblers" and "Truant Dragon".

"The storyline of "Ghost Love" should be very attractive, but the box office is not ideal, I think this drama is too Westernized. ”

Not to mention Westernization, if Zhong Chuhong is replaced by a Hollywood actor, no one will think that "Ghost Love" is a Hong Kong film. However, there are disadvantages and advantages to being too Westernized, according to the information Wei Xiong has obtained so far, "Human Ghost Love" has caused a movie-watching boom in Japan since its release on Christmas, and the venue is almost full, and even the midnight show can maintain a super high attendance rate of 7%.

"There is some truth in what you say, so let's do it, if you release the first-week box office data in the United States, it should have a stimulating effect on the box office in Hong Kong. ”

Wei Xiong cares most about the European and American markets, as long as he can get the box office he expects in Europe and the United States, the Hong Kong box office is almost acceptable to him. After a pause, he changed the topic and said, "In addition, you will inform Mr. Zeng and ask him to speed up the preparations for "50 First Loves". ”

Before, it was because the prospects of "People and Ghosts Are Not Over" were not clear, but now that the overall situation has been decided, the preparations for "50 First Loves" should officially begin......

As soon as the U.S. box office of "Ghost Love" was announced, it immediately caused a big earthquake in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, not to mention those who originally wanted to see jokes, even those who had confidence in Wei Xiong were shocked, and the box office of the United States alone actually reached 74.25 million US dollars in the first week? When the next picture is drawn, isn't it ironclad that it will exceed 150 million US dollars, and I am afraid that it is possible to reach 200 million US dollars.

It's going against the rhythm of the sky. You must know that in the past, in order to enter Hollywood, Golden Harvest did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to shoot several kung fu movies with Cheng Long as the protagonist, but in the end, they all ended dismally. Therefore, when Wei Xiong also planned to enter Hollywood, so many people doubted it, but what everyone didn't expect was that "Ghost Love" actually achieved such an incredible box office.

"It's really amazing, the box office in the first week exceeded 70 million US dollars, I'm afraid the global box office will be three or four billion, and then there will be one or two hundred million US dollars in the achievements alone, no wonder so much to buy Kester Building. Shao Yifu put down the newspaper and said with emotion on his face.

"This time Wei Xiong really exceeded everyone's expectations, there are not a few movies with a box office of more than 100 million in Hollywood every year, I didn't expect Wei Xiong to have such ability. Even Fang Yihua, who didn't treat Wei Xiong very well, had to express his admiration for Wei Xiong at this time.

"Hehe, it is estimated that the wrinkled and bad face should not be very good-looking now, he was full of ambition to enter Hollywood, but in the end he returned home, and now a junior boy has swept Hollywood with a film, before and after, the gap is not ordinarily big. ”

Hearing this, Fang Yihua couldn't help but smile helplessly, although almost 20 years have passed, Shao Yifu is still haunted by Zou Wenhuai's original betrayal, if Zou Wenhuai was present at this time, Shao Yifu might not give face and speak directly to ridicule.

"What do you think about Lizhi, although the termination of the contract was Lizhi's own appearance, but just a few days after the termination of the contract, Lizhi signed a contract with Wei's agency, obviously it can't be a coincidence, and the liquidated damages are not a small amount for Lizhi, and it is doubtful that she can get it. ”

Hearing Fang Yihua talk about Lizhi, Shao Yifu was also diverted, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, you must know that he is very optimistic about Lizhi, and he has long discussed with Fang Yihua to make Lizhi a new Huadan of TVB, but he didn't expect Lizhi to suddenly propose to terminate the contract at this time.

This made him feel very annoyed in his heart, and in the end, he said a lot of good and bad things, but Lizhi still insisted on leaving, so that he was helpless.

Seeing that Shao Yifu was silent, Fang Yihua continued: "If it was really Wei Xiong who poached Lizhi this time, it would be too unkind. ”

"Alright. Shao Yifu interrupted Fang Yihua's words: "Personal relationship is one thing, business is another, if you do business, you have to take care of this and that, you don't have to do anything." What's more, I don't think Na Lizhi is a safe master, if he doesn't change jobs this time, sooner or later. ”

"Lizhi's matter can be counted, but since the establishment of Wei's agency, many artists whose contracts have expired in Taiwan have jumped ship, I heard that even Liang Chaowei and Zeng Huaqian have contacted Wei's agency, Zeng Huaqian's contract is about to expire, although Liang Chaowei has just renewed his three-year contract, but if Wei's agency is willing to pay liquidated damages, Liang Chaowei may also jump ship. ”

"If we don't stop it, it will be difficult to close this opening again. ”

Since its establishment, Wei's agency has actively recruited artists to join, because it belongs to the same group as Tianheng Film and Television, Media Asia Records and Wei's Films, and the group boss Wei Xiong is a shareholder of TVB and chairman of the board of directors of Phoenix Satellite TV, so he has so many resources.

It can be said that as long as you join Wei's agency, as long as you have the ability, you are not afraid of not having the opportunity to show your face. Therefore, in just over a month, many singers and actors have joined Wei's agent.

"Then how do you say to stop it?" Shao Yifu glanced at Fang Yihua, his face was a little unsightly: "Can you still prevent them from joining the Wei Clan?" Let's not talk about whether we can stop it, if we really do this, maybe it will cause a bigger backlash." ”

Blocking people's wealth is like killing their parents, how can Shao Yifu not understand this truth, now Wei's brokerage company is in the limelight with a complete industrial chain and Wei Xiong's personal prestige, and it is reasonable for some people who have just debuted or some depressed people want to join.

However, in Shao Yifu's eyes, TVB's various careers are now at their peak, and the former old rival ATV has gradually lost its sharpness, if it continues like this, it will not take a few years for TVB to dominate the entire Hong Kong TV market, in this case, it is not a big deal to jump a few artists.

"But ......" Fang Yihua is not as optimistic as Shao Yifu.

"It's nothing, but, do you want me to tell Wei Xiong not to accept TVB people? If I do this, it will be time to retire. ”

This is Fang Yihua Seeing that Shao Yifu was a little angry, he suddenly didn't dare to say anything more, and the office suddenly fell into silence. After a while, Shao Yifu probably felt that what he had just said was a bit heavy, and said again: "Although our actions are not too big on the surface, we can still do something in private, especially some important artists, and we must find a way to keep them." ”

"Like Liang Chaowei and Zeng Huaqian, you can find someone to talk to them, as long as it is a reasonable condition, you can agree, and you can deal with the rest at your own discretion. Without causing a bigger rebound, you can catch one or two typicals, but you have to grasp the degree. ”

In the end, Shao Yifu still adopted some of Fang Yihua's opinions. Just like the Shaw Brothers movie, it's really a heroic twilight, and if he is still young, how can a woman influence his thoughts.
