Chapter Twenty-Six: The Hand of Gold

Hong Kong films, mainland Zhiyi, Zhijiapo films, and Taiwan films. Hong Kong films refer to films produced and distributed in Hong Kong, China. As a British colony at that time, Hong Kong also had greater political and economic freedom than Chinese mainland and Taiwan, and gradually developed into a production base for Chinese-language shijie and even East Asian films. The language of Hong Kong films is generally Putonghua, but Cantonese and other languages are also available.

Today, Hong Kong is the third largest film industry base in Shijie, after Hollywood in the United States and Bollywood in India, and it is also the second largest film exporter in Shijie, after the United States. Hong Kong is known as the "Hollywood of the East" on Shijie. When Hong Kong films were in their heyday, they once dominated Asia and looked at Europe and the United States.

Hong Kong films have always focused more on commercial films that meet the audience's tastes, such as nonsensical comedies and action movies. Moreover, Hong Kong films have a well-developed "star system" in Western countries, and Hong Kong's splendid pop movies also have a group of supporters, so Hong Kong films have gradually become the mainstream of culture, infiltrating every corner of Shijie and often imitated. This can be seen in later Hollywood action movies, such as "The Matrix".

However, in the mid-90s, with the emergence of a series of Hollywood masterpieces, and the gradual withering of local talents in Hong Kong, Hong Kong films gradually declined, and in 2010, in Fang Mingyuan's impression, except for Cheng Long, who was barely holding the banner of Hong Kong films, the share of Hong Kong films in the domestic film market was far inferior to that of American films and films. Of course, there are political, economic and other factors, but the bad habits of Hong Kong films themselves cannot be ignored.

In the early 90s, after the bustling Hong Kong film industry in the 80s, it was impossible to see that the blooming of a hundred flowers would mean the arrival of a harsh winter. There are few genres of Hong Kong movies, most of them are limited to comedy, costumes, action, gangster shootouts and ghost movies, and once a certain type of film becomes popular, it can be said that the follow-up works are overwhelming, which makes the audience annoyed. For a few years after that, directors didn't have to think about making the same subject matter again.

Moreover, the Hong Kong film industry has not realized that with the progress of the times and the development of the economy, people's horizons are getting wider and wider, and those shoddy films that blindly try to be quick and ignore details and originality can no longer meet people's spiritual needs. What's more important is that with the video recorder, than. , just. Gradually into people's homes. There is also the rampant piracy, and the impact of small-scale Hong Kong films is far greater than that of American films that pay attention to large-scale scenes and large-scale productions. In previous lives, movies like "The Day After Tomorrow", "Tornado", "Likou", and "Sister Raji Park" can only really experience that kind of shock on the movie screen. Many people, even if they have seen pirated copies at home, still can't help but go to the cinema to experience it.

The reason why Fang Mingyuan left those classic movie scripts for Yu Qiuxuan is that, as he said, it can be regarded as a reward for Qiuqiu's mother and daughter for their selfless help to him; On the other hand, it is not a kind of idea to change the future of Hong Kong films. These excellent works, which originally took ten to twenty years to appear in the Hong Kong film industry, if they are concentrated in three or five years, how can the incentive effect on Hong Kong films be measured purely by box office figures. As a mainlander, if he wants to get involved in the Hong Kong film industry, he is likely to face many obstacles from Hong Kong film companies. But Yu Qiuxuan is different, first of all, she is a native of Hong Kong, and secondly, she is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Guo family, the eldest daughter of the Yu family. And last year's three blockbusters and outstanding box office results undoubtedly gave Fang Mingyuan great confidence in the face of these film company bosses.

"It has been arranged, at 6 o'clock in the evening, at the Tak Hui Restaurant in Hong Kong, the CEOs of important film companies in Hong Kong will attend. Yu Qiuxuan nodded and said. Today's Yu Qiuxuan is also famous in the Hong Kong film industry, and the two films with half of her investment in the script shined in last year's Hong Kong films. The Golden Harvest Film Company that cooperated with her was so happy that she couldn't find the north. The entire Hong Kong film industry was shocked when Cheng Long later admitted in front of Hong Kong reporters that the script for "Double Dragon Club" and the new film he is now working on were written by the same person as the script provided by Yu Qiuxuan. Especially after Qiu Xuan "inadvertently" revealed that she still has nearly 20 movie scripts of various types in her hands, and all of them are written by the same person, the bosses of the Hong Kong film industry are simply going crazy about it.

You must know that Jet Li's two action movies became popular last year, and Cheng Long's "Double Dragon Club" was also outstanding at the box office last year, and among the top ten grossing movies in Hong Kong, the scripts written by this mysterious person have already accounted for three seats, and the box office results have exceeded 100 million in Hong Kong alone! If you count the overseas income, the licensing income of video tapes and TV stations, the huge income is simply terrifying.

It is not uncommon for a playwright to have a classic in his life in the Hong Kong film industry; It is not uncommon for a work to become popular a year; But three of them are released in a year, and the ones that are popular are extremely rare. And this person actually has nearly 20 scripts for various types of movies, which sounds like a fantasy. If it weren't for Cheng Long and Yu Qiuxuan, who are very people in Hong Kong, the CEOs of these film companies must have racked their brains and tried every means to "find" this behind-the-scenes playwright and bring him under their own banner. But now, they can only knock on the side to try to get this secret out of the mouths of the two.

In fact, Huang Zhan and Lin Zixiang also guessed that this person behind the scenes was Fang Mingyuan, but since Fang Mingyuan didn't take the initiative to stand up, the two of them naturally wouldn't say it much.

After the Chinese New Year, Golden Harvest and several other film companies no longer knew that they were explicitly or secretly urging Yu Qiuxuan to come up with a new script to cooperate, and the cooperation conditions offered were becoming more and more generous. Some people have even proposed to agree to Yu Qiuxuan's shareholding in the company.

"Sister Qiuxuan, have you informed Uncle Zhan and Brother Cheng?" Fang Mingyuan was still a little uneasy, and asked again. With these two escorts, he can be more confident in the face of those bosses.

"Sister, you can rest assured!" Yu Qiuxuan poked a finger at Fang Mingyuan's head and said amusedly, "When did you miss something?"

Fang Mingyuan smiled embarrassedly and said, "Sister Qiuxuan." I didn't mean that. ”

"Alright, alright, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you. Last year's two movies, zuihou's income has not yet come out, but it is estimated that there will be more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars, I will fill in some more, and it will be about 100 million Hong Kong dollars by then, although it is not much, but it shows my heart a little. Yu Qiuxuan said, "Don't say no!"

Looking at Yu Qiuxuan's pretty face, Fang Mingyuan's heart was full of warmth. This cheap sister has helped herself again and again since she recognized it, if it weren't for her. How could the Fang family have developed so quickly to this point, if it weren't for her, how could he have gotten to know Old Man Guo. Now I just told her about my thoughts, and I helped myself unconditionally. "Of course, weishenme don't?"

Fang Mingyuan leaned into Yu Qiuxuan's ear, looked at the crystal clear earlobe, and blew a sigh of relief and said softly: "Half a year at most, Sister Qiuxuan, you just wait to recover the 200 million Hong Kong dollars." ”

"Two hundred million Hong Kong dollars?" Yu Qiuxuan took two steps back in horror, and even forgot that Fang Mingyuan was doing something strange in her ear.

"Shhhhhhh With the old man, I only promised that the interest was 30% of the principal!"

Yu Qiuxuan took two deep breaths, only to feel that his ears were "buzzing", and his legs and feet were a little weak. Although she said she knew. Fang Mingyuan is definitely going to play a big game this time. But there is a 100% profit return in this half a year, which is too amazing.

Yu Qiu froze and said, "Mingyuan." I am

"Don't say it, don't say it, it's all a dowry for Qing'er anyway!" Fang Mingyuan interrupted her.

"You kid, don't always talk about Qing'er's dowry!" Yu Qiuxuan couldn't help but be a little funny after finishing speaking, Qing'er is only a few years old, and the independent property in her name has exceeded 30 million Hong Kong dollars, if you count this time again, and those unfilmed scripts, I am afraid that she will become the richest child in Hong Kong.

"Mom, Mom, what are you talking about with your brother, what is the dowry, is it delicious?" asked Qing'er curiously.

At this moment, not only Fang Mingyuan was overjoyed, but Yu Qiuxuan also smiled forward and backwards, she picked up Qing'er, pointed at Qing'er's little nose with her hand, and deliberately made a vicious appearance and said: "You know how to eat, when the time comes, you will become a little pig, and Brother Mingyuan will ignore you!"

Qing'er put her arms around her neck and laughed, she had been threatened by her mother too many times with this excuse, and she was already immune.

Fang Mingyuan looked at the time, it was not early, and hurriedly dragged Yu Qiuxuan's mother and daughter towards the direction of the mansion.

Tak Wai Restaurant is a high-end restaurant on the edge of Hong Kong's business district, which is famous for its Sichuan and Shandong cuisine from the mainland. The reason why Yu Qiuxuan chose this place was also to take into account Fang Mingyuan's taste. In Hong Kong, there are many restaurants where Cantonese cuisine is done, but there are not many Sichuan cuisine and Shandong cuisine, although the taste of Hong Kong people is not used to these two cuisines, but people are like this, and they also need to change their tastes from time to time. Moreover, with the deepening of China's reform and opening up policy, the exchanges between Hong Kong and the mainland are getting closer and closer, and more and more people from the mainland are coming to Hong Kong, so the business of this Dehui Restaurant is naturally becoming more and more prosperous. Among the people who come here to dine every night, there are also many high-ranking officials of the Hong Kong government, business tycoons, and celebrities in the entertainment industry.

But today, the largest private room in Dehui Restaurant has been booked, which makes many people who come to eat very dissatisfied.

"I won't tell you, call your manager!" a middle-aged fat man with a reckless accent stood in front of the waiter in the restaurant, and said with an arrogant face.

The duty manager of Dehui Restaurant, an old man who is nearly fifty years old, learned the news, and soon came to the front of the service desk, and said politely: "This Xianmang, is there anything I can serve you?"

The fat man said impatiently: "Yes, of course there is." If not, I'll tell you to come over and do something. If our mayor wants to have dinner here, he wants your largest private room."

"Sorry sir, that private room has already been booked by the guest, we have two other private rooms, sir you can choose there. "The old man is neither humble nor arrogant.

"We'll pay three times the price for it!, go and tell the guests, make room for us!" said the fat man, slapping the table.

"I'm sorry sir, no matter how much money you pay, we can't do that. It's about the reputation of our restaurant, and it's not something that can be bought with money. The old man smiled slightly, "Sir, the private rooms in our restaurant are very tight. If you can't book it yet, we'll give it to another guest. If it is the Governor of Hong Kong, maybe he will also consider it, how can a mainlander who is now a private room booked by Yu Qiuxuan, the young lady of the Kwok's Shipping Group, help him do this kind of thing.

The fat man was even more annoyed when he heard this, and slapped the table and said, "Do you know that our mayor is going to entertain foreign guests here, this is a foreign affairs event!"

The old man's face showed a hint of displeasure, this fat man stood in front of the service desk and shouted, it was really unseemly. Guests come and go, pointing out the pointers.

"I don't know if this gentleman, entertaining foreign guests is a foreign affair, but we treat foreign guests and local guests equally. We don't have any rule that requires local guests to give up their seats to foreign guests. Unless the person who made the reservation of the private room checks out by himself, we can only reserve the private room for the guest who booked it. He patiently explained.

"Okay, you leave us a private room first, I'll wait here, and when they come, I'll let them check out!" The fat man pulled a chair and sat down at the service desk.

The old man glanced at him with pity, and shook his head slightly, Another mayor from the mainland, even if the Governor of Hong Kong came, it was impossible to ask Yu Qiuxuan to give up the room like this

At this moment, I saw only a few. A middle-aged man and two young people came to the front desk, and the fat man immediately stood up......
