Chapter Forty-Eight: The Tycoon's Way

What does it take to become a tycoon? Chen Yongren once thought about this problem carefully, first tried to make a lot of money, and then took advantage of the opportunity of the times to speculate in stocks and real estate, so his worth skyrocketed dozens of times, and then he naturally took those film talents under his umbrella, sent them some good scripts regularly, and he lay comfortably at home, like **, and worked with female stars every day? These are too nonsense, what's the point of life if it's like this?

Moreover, in the state of being with so many women all day long, you can still keep people who will not die of exhaustion, how many people are there on the earth? All right! They have practiced kung fu and are in good health, but Chen Yongren does not think that he will practice this kind of kung fu; Or ...... There have been some changes in their bodies because of the crossing, which is different from ordinary people, but Chen Yongren has not found out what superpowers he has for the time being.

So, let's be honest and mix slowly step by step in the entertainment industry! Stocks, real estate or something, it's about movie! Chen Yongren wants to be a pure entertainment tycoon, so that he can have the passion for struggle and the fun after success, and the development of the destined result has no meaning, and becoming an entertainment tycoon does not mean that it is enough to have a little money, ability, reputation, status, etc. are indispensable, and to put it in layman's terms, it is black and white.

There is only one successful entertainment tycoon in the world so far in the Chinese world, that is, TVB and the helmsman of Tsan Pictures, Lei Jiankun was a tycoon himself before the establishment of the Golden Princess Cinema Line, the head of the Hong Kong Lei family, Kowloon Construction Group and the bus company, and he participated in the film industry just to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. Lei Jiankun decisively withdrew and was never involved again; Although he was silent from next year, he never gave up the film industry, and in the 90s, he returned to the film industry and established Metropolitan Pictures; As for Zhou Wenhuai of Golden Harvest, although he has a respected status in the entertainment industry, he is still a little short of black and white, how can he see it?

In the future, in the 80s and 90s, the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles broke the news of the invasion of underworld forces several times, and few people were spared, even the famous Cheng Yuanlong and Huang Jinbao were not exempt from it, which shows that Zhou Wenhuai's influence is limited. And Lei Jiankun's people have not heard of this incident, only a few people have encountered similar incidents after exiting the Golden Princess or New Art City, this is the influence that only tycoons have, and the same is true for Yi Yifu, even popular all over the Chinese circle, at this time, Ling Qingxia, known as the "No. 1 beauty in Southeast Asia", also revealed that she had been threatened by underworld forces in the future, and stars Zheng Yazhi and Zhong Changhong, who are no less influential in the entertainment industry than the former, have not heard of this incident, the only difference is that the latter two are artists under the tycoon.

This can also explain the rise and fall of the three major film companies. He started out in the film and television industry, is a veteran tycoon, and insists on low salaries for his employees, also because he is confident that he can provide employees with a safe and stable environment. To put it bluntly, although he can't make a lot of money under Lao Tzu, he can work with confidence in the complex environment of the Hong Kong entertainment industry; Therefore, he was reluctant to change the outdated system of the film, so that soon after the production of the film.

What about Lei Jiankun? He is a tycoon, and he entered the film industry only to make money, based on the Kowloon Construction Industry Group of the Lei family, so the management of the film industry is also atmospheric decentralization, and he only participates in decision-making, so Xinyicheng has developed well under the management of insiders. But because of the lack of attention, it comes and goes quickly, Hong Kong films are also irreversible, and the new art city is unevenly distributed, so it has only been stable in the entertainment industry for ten years. To put it bluntly, the film industry is dispensable for Tycoon Lei.

Zhou Wenhuai is the second person who started purely from the film and television industry and is closest to a tycoon, but after all, he does not have the confidence of the first two, so he supported his employees to set up a satellite company, which also opened the prosperous dynasty of Golden Harvest. To put it bluntly, although there is no sense of security in doing things under Lao Tzu, as long as you do well, you will make much more money than under other people. Just ask a person who is a little assertive, willing to follow Golden Harvest to risk making a lot of money, or follow the tycoon to work hard but suffer and be angry? Or do you want to be a filmmaker with someone like Tycoon Lei, who doesn't pay attention to the film industry? The future is worrying!

Moreover, Chan believes that the suspension of Hong Kong films after entering the golden age is not old and confused, but far-sighted. Perhaps it is precisely because the tycoon saw the "great rise and fall" of Hong Kong films, so he would rather stop production than change and develop, because the tycoon expected that the prosperity of the film industry would pass, but he couldn't estimate the time, so he was unwilling to take the risk to participate in it, the movie became popular, and the film investment in the future will definitely rise, but the return is unstable, it is not worth the risk, anyway, the money earned by TVB is not less than making movies, Lao Tzu has been in the entertainment industry for 60 years, and he has not experienced anything, so he should take a break for a while, and the movie will be shelved for a few years, When the situation became clear, he came back, so he leased the Dian Cinema Line to Pan Disheng, and concentrated on the development of the emerging TV industry, and also invested in real estate, stocks and other aspects, until a few years later, Hong Kong films changed, and Kou Yifu returned to the film industry, which is like investing in stocks, most people are chasing the film industry, buying high and selling low, but Shan Yifu is the opposite, avoiding risks, selling high and buying low.

However, the success of the road of the tycoon is not replicable, although the brothers were also self-made at the beginning, but after decades of hard work to achieve today; Moreover, when the eldest of the Tsa brothers, Wei Renweng, established Tianyi Film Company in 1924, it was a good time for China's entertainment industry to be blank and the film industry to flourish. Lei Jiankun doesn't need to be mentioned, he is just a passerby in the film industry.

To sum up, it is difficult to become a pure entertainment tycoon, at this time there are only two tycoons in the entertainment industry, Zhou Wenhuai is counted as a quasi-tycoon, after all, the latter only has limited influence, but his status in the film industry is not bad at all, and even Chen Yongren regards Zhou Wenhuai as the same kind of person as himself in his heart, and the latter is idealistic, ambitious, educated, and promising like himself...... Wrong!

is different, Zhou Wenhuai is sixty years old and has not yet become a tycoon, he is still struggling on the road, he can only be regarded as an old man with ideals, ambitions, culture, and no future...... It's not right, it's not just the four, I also have my appearance, this is the five, talent, this is the six, talent and culture shouldn't mean the same thing, right? Probably not...... And then there's guts, hands, feet, and brains...... I'm a good girl, Chen Yongren feels that he has too many things, it should be N has a youth, right...... It should be an N-1 youth, he doesn't have everything, he is not sick yet, is it good or bad to be not sick? Chen felt that he had to rethink the question...... Anyway, for the time being, he was only sure that he was 100% normal, healthy, and especially his brain was absolutely fine.

Wang Jing and Cheng Yuanlong looked at Chen Yongren, who was stunned, and were puzzled, Chen Xunqi also found out about the situation, sighed and stepped forward to wake up Chen Yongren, who was sick.

Chen Yongren came back to his senses in an instant, putting aside the distracting thoughts just now, the most important question in front of him is the most important, who will he see? He is only temporarily established Yongjia now, and he is still white, and the three bigwigs in the film industry must have come to him after understanding this, and his decision this time is also very important, this is a matter of standing in line with his future position. Yi Yifu first ruled out that it was difficult to be a tycoon under the tycoon; Zhou Wenhuai also decisively ruled out, he had no sense of security with his subordinates, and Chen Yongren was unwilling to have anything to do with the underground world, so he could only follow Lei Jiankun for future development; This is also the result of his careful consideration.

First, although Lei Jiankun is a tycoon like Wei Yifu, the latter only wants to make money and is very lenient about the rights of the film industry; Second, Lei Jiankun may not be a qualified filmmaker, but he is decisive and amazing, and he is definitely a good boss, as can be seen from his support for Chen Xunqi to establish Yongjia Film and Xu Ke to set up a film studio; Third, Chen Yongren didn't want to get involved in other businesses in the early days, he had an ordinary background, and suddenly having a lot of money is definitely eye-catching, getting rich overnight is really a taboo in the rivers and lakes, the relationship on the rivers and lakes is not something that can be opened up in a day or two, having money may not solve everything, Li Chaoren has also been blackmailed! Relying on movies alone may not make much money in a short period of time, and the Cinema Line will be born by Pang Di in the near future, and the heart of Yi Yifu to develop movies is not dead, the cinema chain only rents and does not sell Pang Disheng, and he has no hope of getting it anyway, so it is better to seek the Golden Princess Cinema that Lei Jiankun will get rid of in a few years; Fourth, Mai Jia, who is in Xinyi City, helped Golden Harvest's Sammo Hung film, Yongjia's Chen Xunqi and Cheng Yuanlong have a good relationship, and Xu Ke's film studio wanders between Golden Harvest and Golden Princess's two theaters, these situations are even more naked to show Lei Jiankun's attitude towards movies - as long as you help me make money, I can do whatever I like! This is the biggest temptation for Chen Yongren, he doesn't like to be managed, and Lei Jiankun's trip is exactly what he wants.
