620【Hualian Cinema】

The ten constituencies of "Miss Asia" have all entered the training stage, and here in the Hong Kong constituency, Jiashi will broadcast some training highlights of the contestants every once in a while, and begin to introduce the basic information of the contestants on TV.

These are completely different from the tradition and regularity of "Sister Hong Kong", and the little sister called "Sister Asia Express", which was temporarily opened by Jiashi, only broadcasts for ten minutes a day, and the ratings are quite high. So much so that the real selection competition has not yet begun, and the fifty Asian sister contestants in the Hong Kong constituency have been well known to the general public.

This is naturally planned from the beginning, and when the basic information of the contestants was revealed in advance, each constituency also announced a news: "Sister Asia" has an award called "Miss Asia", which is voted for by ordinary people. And this "Miss Asia" will represent the constituency in the finals together with the officially selected "Miss Asia".

The purpose of this move is naturally to enhance the interaction with the audience and attract more people to the event. In the past, the audience only watched the excitement, and all rankings were decided by judges. The result is naturally to make ordinary viewers feel that they are outsiders, and even sometimes the final selection of champions is far from the audience, which attracts a lot of scolding, and is even questioned about insider work.

When the organizing committees of each constituency of the "Sister Asia" contest announced the news of the "Sister of Public Opinion", the effect was immediate, and it really aroused the support of audiences from all over the world.

In particular, strongman political countries such as Taiwan, South Korea, and Singapore, as well as Hong Kong, a British colony, have reacted particularly strongly. As for the reason, they don't usually have many opportunities to vote...... Of course, due to the backwardness of the electronic vote counting system, the Asian Sister Organizing Committee can only adopt the most primitive method. Anyone who wants to vote for their favorite contestant must register in person with their ID card to avoid duplicate voting results.

……………… Lan Kwai Fong, in the box of Xiang Huaqiang's nightclub.

Yang Shoucheng bent down and poured a full glass of wine for Wang Zijun and Xiang Huaqiang, and then raised his glass and said, "Mr. Xiang, I have admired your name for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to meet you." This time, thanks to Mr. Wang's recommendation, the younger brother did it first as a respect! ”

After Yang Shoucheng drank it, Xiang Huaqiang also drank it all very dryly, and said: "You're welcome, Ah Jun's friend is my friend to someone." Have a seat! ”

Wang Zijun lightly tapped his wine glass with his fingers, and looked at the two with a smile on his face.

Yang Shoucheng used to have a very big business and had some connections with several associations in Hong Kong, otherwise he would not have helped people get ahead and went to prison. Yang Shoucheng's reason for being imprisoned was to obstruct judicial justice, and to put it bluntly, this guy ran to threaten the defendant to withdraw the lawsuit in order to help his friend settle the trouble.

From this, it can be seen that Xiang Huaqiang must first have Taoist relationships, and then there must be no surface for these relationships, otherwise he will not be a threat but will be scratched.

What Wang Zijun admires is Xiang Huaqiang's shrewdness. After Wang Zijun put on a relationship, this guy's attitude was very low, and he felt a little like a little brother. But the actual situation is that Wang Zijun is taking advantage of Wang Zijun, this time I heard that Wang Zijun was going to eat with Xiang Huaqiang, so he immediately followed up and took the opportunity to catch up with Xiang Huaqiang.

Xiang Huaqiang didn't pay much attention to Yang Shoucheng, and he drank a full cup just now, just for Wang Zijun's sake. After casually dealing with Yang Shoucheng, Xiang Huaqiang smiled evilly and said to Wang Zijun: "Brother, I watched TV last night and found that those little girls in 'Sister Ya' have a lot of good goods, why don't you let me also be a judge?" ”

"Go aside," Wang Zijun was not polite to him, and scolded with a smile, "It turns out that you invited me to dinner just for this." If you were to be a judge, I'm afraid those little sheep would all be eaten in their stomachs. ”

"Eh, eh, I'm a lot more dedicated than you." Xiang Huaqiang made fun of Wang Zijun's love history, waved his chopsticks and stuffed a piece of cooked steak into his mouth, and said vaguely, "I'm really convinced of you now, I heard that the box office for making a movie has been 8 or 900 million US dollars, and you can earn tens of millions of dollars by making a beauty pageant." ”

"You said it lightly, and you just made a beauty pageant," Wang Zijun said with a smile, "This beauty contest, the people of Jiashi were preparing for it the year before last, and until now, you said how much effort it spent." I also have to thank the two old men, He Zuozhi and Cen Weixiu, who did not partner in opposing my decision on the board of directors, and this money is not earned by me alone. ”

Yang Shoucheng sat on the side and couldn't interject, and then finally found an opportunity and said: "I think Sister Ya's beauty pageant can be done, all because of Mr. Wang's big face." If you look at the Hong Kong sister of the wireless station, how many years has it been, at most there will be a college student. Look at Sister Ya again, Ye Zhiming's daughters have all come to participate. ”

"Poof!" Xiang Huaqiang's mouth, the steak that had not yet been fully swallowed, squirted out violently, and asked, "What did you say?" Ye Zhiming's daughter also went to participate in Sister Ya's beauty pageant? ”

"yes, I happened to see it on TV the other day." Yang Shoucheng nodded and said.

Wang Zijun had heard of the name Ye Zhiming a little, and knew that he was a businessman, so he asked with a smile: "Who is Ye Zhiming's daughter?" Unexpectedly, there are really rich daughters to participate. ”

Xiang Huaqiang said: "I have seen his daughter, called Ye Yuqing, who is strong enough. ”

As soon as he heard that it was Ye Yuqing, Wang Zijun was speechless, he really didn't expect that Ye Yuqing was also from a young lady, didn't many media in later generations say that she was born poor?

Wang Zijun didn't know that it was very normal, because when he became popular in another world, Ye Yuqing had already retired. Some media or websites in the mainland have nothing to do to turn Ye Yuqing out and fry cold rice, and they basically haven't done any homework, one website said that Ye Yuqing was born poor and married into a wealthy family, but other media all followed suit.

In fact, Ye Yuqing's father can be regarded as a legend, he made a fortune selling wigs in the sixties, and then lost everything in the oil business. In the 70s, it made a comeback by selling jeans, and later formed a jeans empire with a scale of more than one billion, and then lost money again...... This master was generous, playing pai gow back then, and losing millions (millions in the seventies) at one time. In his life, he went up and down in the shopping mall, constantly making a fortune, losing money, making a comeback, losing money, and making a comeback, and finally ending up being a monk after seeing through the red dust.

Xiang Huaqiang specially asked Wang Zijun to come out for dinner, naturally not to talk about women. After making a lewd joke for a while, Xiang Huaqiang got to the point: "Zijun, are you interested in taking the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line?" ”

"Shaw Cinemas?" Wang Zijun said with a smile, "That's Shao Laoliu's baby, it's strange that he is willing to make a move." ”

Xiang Huaqiang nodded and said, "I heard that Run Run Shaw is ready to sell all the cinemas in Hong Kong. ”

"Really?" Wang Zijun was upright.

"It should be true," Xiang Huaqiang said, "Shaw Brothers stopped producing last year and specialized in the TV business, but the situation of wireless stations is not very good, and they were beaten badly by ATV and Jiashi." I estimate that the purpose of his sale of Shaw Brothers Cinemas is not only to lose this piece of chicken ribs, but also to take money to turn over wireless stations. Hehe, speaking of which, you forced him to the point of selling the theater chain, Xinyicheng and Jiashi are both major shareholders. ”

Wang Zijun asked, "Do you want to buy it?" ”

"That's what I mean, but I don't have enough money, so I'm looking for you to partner." Xiang Huaqiang explained.

Although Yongsheng Film Company has made a lot of money, Xiang Huaqiang himself is just a part-time worker. Because Yongsheng Film Company was opened by Xin Yi'an for money laundering, part of the profits obtained were taken by Wang Zijun, a shareholder, and the other part was handed over to the association, and Xiang Huaqiang could get very little.

"How much worse?" Wang Zijun asked directly.

"Fifty million." Stretching out five fingers to Huaqiang, "I want 51% of the shares." ”

"Yes." Wang Zijun nodded and said, then said with a smile, "Don't let Shao Daheng know that I have a share, otherwise he won't sell it alive or dead." ”

"Haha, I know that." Xiang Huaqiang said with a smile.

In fact, when Run Run Shaw is old, he is no longer so stingy, and even Zou Wenhuai can cooperate in the first two years, so what's the big deal about selling the theater chain to Wang Zijun.

No matter how ruthless Wang Zijun offended Run Run Shaw, it was not as big as the grudge between him and Zou Wenhuai. The feud between Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest dates back to the fifties. At that time, Shaw Brothers had just changed its name from Shaw Brothers and Sons to Shaw Brothers Company, and it was inseparable from Singapore's Cathay Pacific Agency's "Denmao", and the hatred was so much that whenever the other party wanted to make a movie, even if it was a loss, it had to make a movie of the same type first to suppress the other party.

At that time, the battle was directly white-edged combat, not only literary, but also full martial arts. The bitter people of the two companies who have mixed rice and eaten haha, when they meet in private, they all have to do it if they don't agree.

In the end, it was really ugly, and under the auspices of the chairman of the Hong Kong-Kowloon Film and Drama Free Union, the two sides signed a gentleman's agreement, and finally stopped competing with evil surnames.

Later, the chairman of the Cathay Pacific organization fell and hung up on the plane, and the Cathay Pacific organization was divided into Singapore Cathay, Taiwan Cathay and Hong Kong Cathay.

And Zou Wenhuai left Shaw Brothers and set up his own Golden Harvest Film Company, behind which Cathay Pacific is supporting. Otherwise, with Zou Wenhuai at that time, he would not be able to withstand Run Run Shaw's suppression at all.

Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific (Denmao) has declined, and the fight between the two film companies since the 50s has been transferred to Golden Harvest, and Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest have been fighting for ten years until Shaw Brothers is almost finished.

Regarding the acquisition of Shaw Brothers Cinemas, Wang Zijun naturally will not come forward, lest Shaw look bad. The purchased cinema will also be renamed "Hualian Cinema Company".

Another time and space is that Sammo Hung bought Shaw Brothers Cinemas, which made his Debao Film Company grow rapidly, and stood with New Arts City and Golden Harvest in the mid-to-late 80s.

However, now I'm afraid that Debao Company will not be so beautiful, after Shaw Brothers Cinemas and Wang Zijunhe bought from Huaqiang, Debao Company does not have its own cinema line, and the distribution is controlled by others, at most it is a second-rate film company.
