Chapter 0626 Comes down to being for me
After the three of them had digested the information about the changes in the "Xiangjiang Development Outline" on the regulations of movie theaters, Tang Huan slowly spoke: "If everyone is not satisfied with returning to the mountains and forests after three years and five years, then we must take precautions to take countermeasures and let the Hong Kong government restore the previous content." ”
Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, and Lei Juekun were not in a hurry to express their position, and they thought a lot of things about it.
Hong Kong has entered a transitional period, how can the Hong Kong government be willing to take a long-term view of this soon-to-be-lost territory?
Moreover, people are busy adjusting the power structure, including the election method, and have not done so actively before, and the meaning of professional mixing sand is very obvious.
In addition, this change in the "Xiangjiang Development Outline" must have taken place under the impetus of real estate industry interest groups, who can compete with it?
Besides, isn't Tang Huan also a vested interest? His diligence was originally a giant, but he ate a lot of land during the great depression of the real estate industry a few years ago, and called it Tuo City, helping the Hong Kong government stabilize the situation.
But Tang Huan, a big landlord, is now working against the provisions of the "Xiangjiang Development Outline" that are obviously beneficial to real estate developers, what is he thinking in his head?
Lei Juekun's anger in his heart has never smoothed down, he has invested a lot of money in the Golden Princess Cinema Line and Xinyi City, originally wanted to "reduce ten wills" to break a new world in the new field, but now he is going to be incorporated into the so-called cinema alliance as a junior brother, and he was even put on a role by Zou Wenhuai.
So, Lei Juekun was the first to express his opinion impatiently, "I'm afraid it's not so easy to let the Hong Kong government swallow back what he said, right?" I don't know what role Qin He played among the driving forces behind the scenes? ”
"It's just a cold bystander, otherwise I wouldn't have known about these changes before the golden wind moved." Tang Huan laughed loudly. "There is no need to doubt my position, my view of Xiangjiang is definitely not short-sighted, safflower still needs green leaves, in the urban steel jungle, if there is no cultural heritage to improve the style, the value of real estate will eventually be affected. What's more, it's just a passing factor. I'm really interested in movies, and Hollywood is an example of that. ”
As soon as he mentioned Hollywood, Zou Wenhuai's eyes immediately became eager, "Congratulations to Tang Sheng's Orion Pictures for winning the Best Picture award." Your vision is really accurate, this small film company from Luen Mei has a history of only a few years, and I didn't expect it to run so well. ”
"Golden Harvest's performance in Hollywood is also good, if you can have intimate people to cooperate, it will be even more like a fish in water." Tang Huan said meaningfully.
These words can be said to Zou Wenhuai's heart. He and Run Run Shaw's career was at the same height, and his film career has developed to the end in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia, and his entry into Hollywood has become the ultimate driving force.
In particular, at this stage, Xinyicheng has the suppression of DreamWorks and Golden Harvest, and its performance is only outstanding, and it has not soared, and then added to his blockage. Naturally, that ambition is still on Hollywood's side.
"Xiangjiang's cinema alliance, only Tang Sheng has the strength to do it." Zou Wenhuai smiled and looked forward to a bright future. "When the time comes, under the comprehensive scheduling, a good film can achieve a higher box office than the current state of fighting separately, and then greatly benefit overseas distribution."
At this stage, Xiangjiang films, which can be regarded as the benchmark of Chinese films, can make profits through the local box office, but the local capacity is limited after all. If more movies want to make a lot of money, they must rely on selling movies to treasure islands, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Japan and other places, and the price is often roughly calculated by multiplying the box office of Hong Kong by a coefficient.
Obviously, if the local box office of Xiangjiang Films is raised, then the producers will be able to make more money.
Of course. The benefits of the cinema alliance are by no means limited to these, but the most superficial of these alone is enough to make things happen.
There is no worst, there is no best, and the previous battle for theaters has vividly demonstrated the disadvantages of fighting their own battles, which can be said to be reassuring.
Lei Juekun's thinking slowly entered this range, so he decided to absorb the lessons of the backwardness of the surrender of the theater chain, grabbed Zou Wenhuai's words, and took the lead in saying: "Tang Sheng has always been like a torch, and I am willing to persuade the Hong Kong government to withdraw this inappropriate change in the "Xiangjiang Development Outline". I just don't know, in terms of specific actions, does Tang Sheng have any regulations? ”
Seeing that everyone's thinking was so fast, Tang Huan smiled secretly. The long-term development of an alliance, in addition to the attraction of internal interests, also needs external threats and pressures.
He groaned: "The Hong Kong government has changed the property of the cinema from a cultural and entertainment facility to a commercial retail facility, and the reason is nothing more than that it is becoming more and more commercial. Perhaps, as a preparatory plan, theaters should provide appropriate support for literary films. Of course, multi-screen theaters are better suited to this task, and DreamWorks Cinemas is doing just that. ”
"Tang Sheng's pattern is very comparable." Zou Wenhuai smiled bitterly, "I don't know how much support this practice of DreamWorks Cinemas is supported by film professionals, and even makes us the main reason for the unsatisfactory box office performance of the Lunar New Year." ”
Tang Huan smiled noncommittally and continued: "In addition, we may also need to set up a special fund to do some face-saving projects such as supporting the development of literature and art. ”
Lei Juekun hesitated, "This should be the work within the responsibility of the Hong Kong government, are we involved too much." ”
"Does the Hong Kong government have this mind and vision?" Tang Huan snorted, "The more we do, the more we can naturally gain." ”
Lei Juekun pondered carefully, and this is really the truth. Besides, the four people here not only control the large cinema chain in Xiangjiang, but also control the major film companies, and they can completely gather unprecedented power.
Now that the participants have no objections to the general principles, the next step is to rank up.
DreamWorks Cinemas, Golden Harvest Cinemas and Golden Princess Cinemas form Heung Kong Cinemas Group, with Shao Yifu, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun, Vice Chairmen, and Jiang Zhiqiang of DreamWorks as General Manager.
After the power structure is settled. It is a discussion of the detailed charter. Although Jiang Zhiqiang had prepared a plan a long time ago, it could not be completed in a moment. Fortunately, the boss's main concern is the numbers, and the rest of the routine business can be carried out step by step.
Taking advantage of the gap before the dinner, Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun were not around, Shao Yifu asked curiously: "Recently, Media Asia TV seems to be very interested in Funan, not only reporters. Even quite a few of the administrative staff have gone somewhere. ”
"Uncle Sixth doesn't let go of any trouble." Tang Huan smiled and nodded, "They went there to help Funan set up a TV organization, or to open a subsidiary of Media Asia TV by the way." ”
Hearing this answer, Shao Yifu took a breath of cold air and said tentatively: "The situation in Funan has changed abruptly this year, is it now stable to the extent that Media Asia TV participates?" ”
Tang Huan's hand slashed lightly in the air, "At present, the forces of the king of Funan have taken control of the capital and important ports along the coast, while the forces of Annan have retreated to the junction of Funan and Annam in the east. It's a division of things and things, and the rear is still very stable. ”
"When did the strength of the king of Funan become so strong, Annan defeated the Americans, and the more than 100,000 boat people on this side of the Xiangjiang River were produced because of it." Shao Yifu had a look of surprise on his face.
It is estimated that the other party, who is already old, does not have much time to pay attention to the news of Funan, so Tang Huan patiently explained, "This time and that time." At that time, Annan's confrontation with the Americans was actually the result of a game between many major powers; But now they have rebelled and left. The boss can't pay the soldiers, and his strength is already very empty. ”
"It seems that Tang Sheng understands the situation in Funan very well." Shao Yifu nodded suddenly, "However, the control of TV stations in Southeast Asia has always been very strict, and Funan is probably no exception." At the level of the economy there, even the capital. The popularity of television should also be very limited, and the investment of Media Asia TV must not pay off until the future, but how to avoid the risks from the policy level in this process? ”
"Of course I'm sure I'll be sure to guarantee my own interests......" Tang Huan smiled confidently.
At this time, Lei Juekun came over and interjected: "Tang Sheng, Sir Shao." What are you talking about, so interested. ”
Tang Huan glanced at Zou Wenhuai, who was walking at the back, and estimated that these two had just gone to eliminate the dirt between each other, judging from the expressions on their faces, it was quite fruitful.
The reason why he went so hard to win over these people was, in the final analysis, for my use.
Since Shao Yifu talked about Funan, Tang Huan decided to simply reveal some news to draw a big pie to better condense their energy.
"I won't hide it from you, my brother-in-law is the son-in-law of the king of Funan, controls the strongest army in the faction, and will be the supreme administrator, and now it should be decided that this title is the prime minister."
Tang Huan looked around at the three people in front of him, "You say, will my investment be guaranteed?" ”
Without waiting for them to close their mouths, Tang Huan continued to break the news: "Funan will set up a special zone in Hanoukville City, and I plan to build it into a Chinese settlement similar to Xiangjiang. ”
This pie is obviously a bit big, and it smashes Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, and Lei Juekun unconscious.
After a long time, Zou Wenhuai, who was the first to react, muttered to himself: "If this is the case, it is likely to become a market as friendly to Xiangjiang movies as Baodao." ”
"After all, Funan is economically backward, can it attract a sufficient number of people?" Shao Yifu went straight to the core of the problem.
"The so-called special zone will naturally give the most preferential policies." Tang Huan didn't answer in too much detail.
There is some information, he can't continue to say it, although the population is indeed a problem, but the mercenaries under Uncle Han Anyuan are all going to take root in Funan, and they can more or less always attract a group of relatives and friends, which is still very considerable.
In addition, at present, the mainland has a large amount of surplus labor, and in addition, a million-dollar disarmament is being carried out, Tang Huan intends to use this resource to carry out labor export, which can not only increase employment opportunities, but also meet the economic development needs of Hanuk City.
As long as the economy is boosted, people will naturally gather like moths to a fire.
Tang Huan now has a lot of money, but whether it is the mainland or Xiangjiang, there are too many rules and regulations, and some of his ideas cannot be realized with a tabula rasa like Funan.
In the end, Tang Huan smiled and quipped: "For the three of them, 1.8 million yuan is not worth mentioning, so it is better to make a strategic investment in Hanukville City, and if you can't get it back, you can have fun; If you create a satisfactory business opportunity, you will be considered to have picked it up. ”
"Tang Sheng's investment philosophy is too incisive." Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, and Lei Juekun laughed heartily.
After this episode, the internal relationship of the new business alliance of Heung Kong Cinema Group has become more and more harmonious. This was reflected in the banquet, Tang Huan, Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, and Lei Juekun The four bigwigs talked happily on the main seat, and their subordinates also easily pushed the cup and changed the lamp.
Zou Wenhuai even pulled the topic from the theater to the film production, and complained with annoyance: "The management mechanism on the Hollywood side does have merit, in contrast, now the subordinates are becoming more and more unreliable, making an old-fashioned zombie film, the original budget of 4.5 million, it turned out to be overspent to more than 8 million, do they think they are doing "Star Wars", the box office in this port can have 6 million, and they will burn high incense." ”
"Who are the members of this project?" Tang Huan asked casually.
"Producer Hong Jinbao, director Liu Guanwei, starring Lin Zhengying and Xu Guanying." Zou Wenhuai thought for a while, and added: "I also invited Li Saifeng and Qian Xiaohao from DreamWorks to participate." ”
"After everyone further strengthens mutual trust, it is not impossible to cooperate in film financing to reduce risks." Tang Huan waved his hand haughtily, "If Zou Sheng is willing, I will make up for the budget gap, and it will be a co-production between the two families." However, you have to give up Hong Jinbao's schedule, I want him to make a war movie. ”
"Of course there is no problem, I also want to thank Tang Sheng for his righteousness." Zou Wenhuai happily agreed, not realizing that he was sharing a box office blockbuster with others, and continued to ask with great interest, "War movies?" This seems to be a very new subject matter for Xiangjiang. ”
"I went to Xiangjiang this time and specially brought one person, that is, the newly baked Oscar for Best Supporting Actor Wu Hanrun. I think we can use his influence to try to make a new kind of film. Tang Huan explained carefully.
Zou Wenhuai and others naturally heard about Wu Hanrun's deeds, and they immediately guessed that Tang Huan was making a fuss about Funan. (To be continued.) )
