Chapter 0157 - Good Danger and Almost Collided
Tang Huan looked at the time again, and said to Hu Yinmeng and Wang Jing: "I'm going back, you can continue." ”
Hu Yinmeng agreed without raising his head, and Wang Jing happily sent Tang Huan out, "Mr. Tang, after the crew starts up, you can come over to inspect it a lot." ”
Tang Huan nodded and patted Wang Jing on the shoulder, "Do it well, I feel that if the TV series "The King of a Thousand Kings" is filmed, it can be directly derived from a gambling movie." ”
When Tang Huan was about to get into the car, he suddenly thought of another thing, "By the way, you can help me pay attention to the recent developments in the Xiangjiang film industry." Huang Baiming, Shi Tian, and Mai Jia of Struggle Film Company may have new moves, and Lei Juekun, the general manager of Kowloon Motor Bus Company, is very optimistic about them. Although the specific trade secrets are not known, there are always signs of trouble. ”
Hu Yinmeng has a lot of things on hand, and Wang Jing is so attentive, Tang Huan doesn't mind putting pressure on him and pulling him over more.
Wang Jing nodded in agreement, and casually made a joke, "Now that Xiangjiang Films is a battle between Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, the situation is very stable, Mr. Tang pays so much attention to this small company, is it possible that it can still make a career and make a three-point world." ”
"You're really right, Xiangjiang's economy has developed to a certain height, and people's spiritual and cultural life needs will naturally diversify, haven't you seen that TV dramas have been very popular in recent years, and movies are also like this, but some rules have changed, whoever can seize the opportunity can emerge and even dominate. ”
Speaking of this, Tang Huan smiled, "Xiangjiang movies are about to enter another new era." For you. It's time to make a lot of money. Believe me. A business eye. There are few people who can compare to me. ”
After reminding Wang Jing of "don't tell others what I just said", Tang Huan got into the car.
Wang Jing looked at the car and scratched his head, how did he feel that his blood was boiling, Mr. Tang really deserved to be a big boss, and he could mobilize the enthusiasm of others by relying on the charm of language.
The Struggle Pictures Company mentioned by Tang Huan just now is, of course, the predecessor of Xinyicheng Pictures, which will soon shine.
The brilliance of the new art city is not only due to the talent. Lei Juekun's heavy investment in funds is also very important, only three years before the establishment of the new art city, he smashed more than 100 million yuan, so it is reasonable for people to try to get greater control of the company later.
And the film elites of Xinyicheng also value their own profits, and there was a discord, so the famous "Group of Seven" with great creativity gradually fell apart.
This is also one of the reasons why Tang Huan did not plan to intercept Hu Lei Juekun, people's hearts are the most difficult to control, especially the ambitious, temperamental and different artistic elites, as long as he can grasp the latest developments in the film industry in a timely manner.
And in Tang Huan's view, use tough commercial methods to control these filmmakers. It is indeed easy to limit creativity.
Compared with Hollywood, which has a very complete mechanism, the Hong Kong film industry is still very immature. Vitality is what counts. It's better to watch it for the time being, and when a good work appears, I'll try to sell it to Hollywood. At the same time, I can save my energy to make some interesting movies according to bad tastes.
It can be said that compared with Lei Juekun, a film investor whose ultimate goal is to make money, Tang Huan's ambition is much higher, and expanding the influence of Chinese culture is his greater pursuit, and the film is just an important piece of the puzzle, not the whole thing.
Besides, Tang Huan's main business is in high-tech industries, even if Xinyicheng's "Best Partner" hits a box office of 27 million, it is not as fast as him making money from IT business.
Based on these reasons, the three words of Xinyicheng were quickly left behind by Tang Huan, and he began to think about other things.
Not long after the car was moving forward, Tang Huan accidentally noticed that a tow truck in front of him was about to tow away a white car, and Mi Xue and Sydney sisters waved at the trailer driver.
Tang Huan asked Zheng Gang to stop the car, then opened the car door and asked in a loud voice: "Two Miss Yan, is your car broken, or I will give you a ride." ”
Mi Xue refused and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tang, don't bother you, it's also very convenient to take a taxi here." ”
Sydney's reaction was the opposite of her sister's, cheering and saying "yes", then opening the car door and jumping on.
Seeing that Mi Xue was a little embarrassed, Tang Huan smiled slightly, "You're welcome, let's get in the car together." ”
Tang Huan's business car, which is basically equivalent to a small mobile office, is very atmospheric, and after Sydney got in the car, she was obviously shocked, lost her previous liveliness, and became restrained.
After inquiring about the destination of the two sisters, Tang Huan chatted with Mi Xue very casually, "You have officially signed a contract with Li's TV now, right?
Mi Xue nodded and replied generously, while Tang Huan listened carefully, trying to understand the current Li's TV from the perspective of an artist.
Now the general manager of Li's TV is Huang Xizhao, the first Chinese general manager of Li, after taking office in 1975, he boldly hired newcomers and discovered a group of young and strong production talents, such as Mai Dangxiong, Li Zhaoxiong, Tu Yongxiong, known as "Li's Three Heroes", and "screenwriter holy hand" Xiao Ruoyuan, Xu Xiaoming and so on.
Not to mention, these people are extremely creative, but they are also full of energy and dare to think and act.
For example, last year, he created the first late-night program in Hong Kong that caters to the tastes of adult audiences, called "Hello Night Returns", which includes the sound of dogs and horses, and invited the smash hit star Chen Weiying to be the host.
Due to the relatively conservative standards of electrical inspection and social atmosphere, this program was banned by the authorities after 5 episodes, and it was honored to be the first TV program in the history of Heung Kong TV to be banned.
In any case, Huang Xizhao's series of measures are still very powerful, and they can be as long as TVB, and they are quite research-oriented, sniping at TVB's programs in a targeted manner, such as using Li's TV's long-form dramas to challenge TVB's variety shows at the same time, and TVB also has to concentrate on dealing with it to avoid falling into disadvantage.
But these elites who are charging into battle are also quite tragic, and they develop according to the historical trajectory. By the beginning of next year. The owner of Leigh's TV. will change from the British to the Australian Gang, and then Huang Xizhao resigned, and Li's TV talents began to lose a lot.
Glancing at Mi Xue, Tang Huan smiled secretly in his heart, these artists are also not easy, just transferred from the collapsed Jiayi TV to Li's TV, the TV station has become popular because of the change of equity, but TVB has always maintained stability. The future situation of one dominance may not have nothing to do with this reason.
When the sisters' destination arrived, Tang Huan took out a business card and handed it to Mi Xue, "If you or your friends have ideas about filming or music in the future, you can go to DreamWorks to find me." ”
Seeing Tang Huan wave his hand and leave in a dashing manner without taking away a cloud, Sydney, who had been silent, became lively and active again, snatched the business card and took a look, stuck out her tongue and smiled: "Sister, we seem to have met a big man, and he is still very young." Very handsome. ”
Mi Xue patted her sister dotingly, and took back the business card to put it away. While admonishing, "Don't be greedy for fun, practice your acting skills well, don't drag the crew back when filming, I have a package ticket." ”
……
When Mr. Tang returned to the office, the front desk gave him a record of calls that needed to be replied to, two of which were from his apartment on Treasure Island and his aunt's house in San Francisco.
Tang Huan first called Lin Fengjiao, it turned out that the other party had finished filming "Native People", and planned to use the next free time to visit his aunt in San Francisco, so he came to ask for his opinion.
"What's there to ask about this, you can go if you want to, I'm going back in a few days, you can fly over first." After Tang Huan smiled and encouraged Lin Fengjiao, he called his aunt again.
According to his thoughts, it is estimated that the old man has not seen him for a few days, and he is a little worried, so he just called her to tell her that Lin Fengjiao will accompany her for a few days.
As a result, after the phone was connected, Tang Huan heard Deng Lijun's voice, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Lijun, are you currently in San Francisco?"
"Yes, I'll bring the baby over to show my aunt. Deng Lijun replied with a smile.
Tang Huan raised his eyebrows, and faintly felt something wrong in his heart, "Are you looking for me, or is my aunt looking for me?"
"Of course I'm looking for you. Deng Lijun lowered her voice slightly, "Baodao just contacted me, saying that they wanted to discuss the matter of allowing me to go back in person, and I didn't know how to reply, so I delayed it with the excuse of thinking about it first." What to do?"
"Don't contact them directly, you're too weak now, maybe you have to agree to something. In this way, inform the other party that if you want to talk, you can come to me as an agent. Tang Huan said slowly.
"When did you become my agent?" Deng Lijun was a little surprised.
"Little fool, you sold yourself to me a long time ago. Tang Huan laughed.
"Well, I'll listen to you. Deng Lijun replied tenderly.
After talking to Deng Lijun on the phone, Tang Huan hurriedly contacted Lin Fengjiao again.
Some things can be done unspeakably, leaving private territorial space for all parties who know it well, leaving private territory space to non-infringe on each other, and contradictions can generally be controlled.
But God is really good at joking, and in his absence, he actually planned to arrange for two women to meet together at home unexpectedly.
Although Lin Fengjiao is well-known for her patience, she may not have any conflict with Deng Lijun, but she will always be unhappy in her heart, and the two women may not know how to react, so it's better not to ask for trouble.
Hearing Tang Huan call again, Lin Fengjiao couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "Ah Huan, do you have anything to tell me?"
Tang Huan sneered, "In this way, my schedule has suddenly changed, and I will go to Treasure Island soon." Don't go to San Francisco and stay home and wait for me. ”
"I finally have free time, I want to see my aunt, what do you have to accompany, and you won't be alone in Xiangjiang. Lin Fengjiao was furious.
Tang Huan coughed and didn't answer the conversation, "Okay, you wait for me, if you go to the United States, we can go together." First of all, I still have something to do here. ”
Without waiting for Lin Fengjiao to answer, Tang Huan hung up the phone first and let out a long breath. (To be continued......)
