The stage of "Love in Paradise". The box office on the first day of the bay is still being counted, and Wang Zijun took people to Hong Kong to participate in the premiere there, the purpose of which is naturally to promote his own films, plus to connect with his colleagues in Hong Kong.

In another time and space, due to the economic recovery in Hong Kong and the increasingly sophisticated production of Hong Kong films, Hong Kong films have broken the box office mark of 10 million for the first time this year, that is, Cheng Long's "Senior Brother Goes Out".

However, now Cheng Long is a member of Wang's Pictures, and "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" was filmed last year after Wang Zijun dictated the general plot, and the screenwriting department worked together to write the script and shoot it.

In terms of details, this script is already very different from the parallel space of the same name "Senior Brother Out of the Horse". In addition, Wang's Film Company is working hard to keep up with international standards in terms of making films, so this "Senior Brother Goes Out", which is still self-directed by Cheng Long, is far higher quality and more enjoyable than that one, and won last year's stage in one fell swoop. Bay and Hong Kong are the box office champions.

Originally, at the beginning of Golden Harvest's establishment, it relied on Bruce Lee to attract money crazily, and after Bruce Lee's death, he made every effort to package and cultivate Cheng Long, so it has been standing tall at the Hong Kong Film Festival. But in this life, Bruce Lee left Golden Harvest, Cheng Long never officially signed Golden Harvest, Zou Wenhuai had to support Sammo Hung strongly, but Sammo Hung didn't work long to form his own Garbo Film Company, Zou Wenhuai poached Yuan Biao from Wang's family, trying to make Yuan Biao a new generation of kung fu superstar.

So compared with another time and space, the current Golden Harvest has become unrecognizable. Last year, Golden Harvest Company produced a kung fu comedy called "Crazy Old Monster", which was actually an unheard of movie by Wang Zijun, starring Yuan Biao, Zeng Zhiwei, Shi Tian and others, and also won the third place in the annual box office list in Hong Kong.

Wang Zijun has no confidence in predicting the future now, and he can't change the general trend, but many small places have changed because of his "invisible wings".

Wang Zijun invited Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai to attend the Hong Kong premiere, and Zou Wenhuai was delighted, but Run Run Shaw did not come. However, Run Run Shaw no longer regards Wang Zijun as an impolite offspring like he did back then. He asked Fang Yihua to participate on his behalf, which can be regarded as giving Wang Zijun a little face.

In addition to these few, Xiang Huaqiang and several senior executives of Yongsheng Film Company also attended. Xiang Huaqiang's real rise was after his eldest brother ran away and he became the helmsman of New Ngee An. However, in the past two or three years, he has gradually taken over some rights in the gang, and it was also at that time that he founded Yongsheng Company.

After Wang Zijun appeared, Xiang Huaqiang set up a film company more than ten years in advance. From the initial film venture capital, he has begun to make his own films in the past two years. And Wang's film and television resources have always been open to Huaqiang, and there are discounts in all aspects, which has made Yongsheng develop rapidly, and a film released last year even ranked in the top five of the Hong Kong box office.

Xiang Huaqiang's first purpose in making a movie is to launder money, and in recent years, he has helped Xin Ngee An launder a lot of money, which makes the elders in the gang very happy, and he has been recognized as the next helmsman of Xin Ngee An.

"Hello Mr. Zou, hello Ms. Fang!" Xiang Huaqiang has gradually disappeared from the anger of the year. I couldn't tell that he was the underworld boss at all, and when he met Zou Wenhuai and Fang Yihua, he also took the initiative to greet him with a smile.

Zou Wenhuai and Fang Yihua did not dare to slack off. Neither deliberately close nor obviously distant greeted Xiang Huaqiang.

"Mr. Wang's business is getting bigger and bigger, which is really gratifying! I heard that you spent more than 100 million dollars in the Maldives to buy a lot of small islands as an owner? After Fang Yihua shook hands with Wang Zijun, he asked with a smile.

Wang Zijun said: "It's just a small business. ”

"Mr. Wang is too modest. It seems that in the future, we will call you the king of the island, and I don't know if there are peach trees on your island, otherwise it can be called Peach Blossom Island. Zou Wenhuai and Wang Zijun have cooperated in Japan, and their relationship is much closer, and it is even more unambiguous to joke at this time. …,

Wang Zijun smiled: "Is there a peach blossom on the island?" You'll find out after watching the movie in a moment. ”

"I want to take a good look, Ah Jun's own movie hasn't been for many years." Xiang Huaqiang said.

Wang Zijun teased: "I often watch the movies played by Brother Qiang, but they are a little monotonous. After playing a bodyguard from that "God of Gamblers". Brother Qiang, how do you play the bodyguard and killer? As soon as I see you appearing now, I know that this guy is either a bodyguard or a killer, and there is no novelty at all. ”

"Hahaha, I won't play anything else. If I play the kind of character who talks about love, I will be stunned as soon as I see the camera, which is more terrifying than being pointed at the head with a few guns. Xiang Huaqiang revealed his true nature when he said this, and even the analogy was a knife, a gun, and the like.

"Hello Mr. Wang!"

"Hello Mr. Wang!"

"Hello boss!"

Sammo Hung, Yuan Biao, Cheng Long, Chow Yun-fat and others came over to greet Wang Zijun one after another, with different titles, but the tone was very respectful.

"Ah Jun, long time no see!" Suddenly, an obscene man who was only as tall as Wang Zijun's neck ran over.

Wang Zijun was stunned, but this person was Teddy who made a temporary band with him and Teresa Teng. Robin. Teddy Robin has been in North America for a few years, returned to Hong Kong last year, and is now making movies.

"Robin, it's you!" Wang Zijun didn't recognize it, Teddy Robin hadn't seen him for a few years, but he was much older.

After a few pleasantries, Teddy Robin suddenly whispered: "Ah Jun, is there time after the premiere?" I have something important to discuss with you. ”

"Absolutely." Wang Zijun said, I don't know what Teddy Robin is looking for him for.

"Love in Paradise" is still released in Hong Kong with Chinese dialogue, not that he discriminates against Cantonese, first, it takes time and money to re-match Cantonese dialogue, and second, some things have to be tasteless. Just like Wang Zijun watching pure Hong Kong films, he will not watch the Chinese version, but the original Cantonese version, so that he can experience more of what the director wants to express in the movie.

As for whether Hong Kong audiences can understand Chinese dialogue, Hong Kong people over 30 years old are absolutely no problem anyway. Because the films released in Hong Kong seven or eight years ago were still all Chinese dialogues, Run Run Shaw wanted to use Cantonese in a movie, and he was worried that the audience would not accept it.

As for the young audience in Hong Kong, uh, young people, it doesn't hurt to know one more language.

With the table. The audience's reaction was similar, Wang Zijun's original work was very well received by Hong Kong people, but they preferred the various thrilling chase and fight plots in it compared to love scenes. At least the scenes of seaplanes and speedboats exploding inside made them addicted.

Fang Yihua was silent after watching the movie, and the big production and big scenes were not in line with Shaw Brothers' business philosophy. As long as Shaw was at the helm, it would have been almost impossible for Shaw Brothers to make such a big production.

But if it continues like this, it is estimated that the Shaw Brothers will gradually decline.

"Alas, the afterlife is terrible!" Zou Wenhuai sighed while applauding, but he was thinking about what film Jiahe should make. In the past few years, Golden Harvest has been making kung fu films to impact the European and American markets, and the results are there, but unfortunately the effect is not very obvious. The European and American film distribution companies that were originally very interested in cooperating with Golden Harvest have gradually become indifferent.

Wang Zijun suddenly said to Zou Wenhuai and Fang Yihua: "Boss Zou." Ms. Fang. I have already spoken to the President, the Minister of Propaganda, the Minister of Tourism of the Maldives. For filmmakers from Hong Kong and Taiwan who go to the Maldives to film, visas are not a problem. If the filming time is more than 30 days, you only need to register with the tourism and police department and make an explanation, and they will fully cooperate with our filming company. By the way, the locals in the Maldives are very poor now, many times poorer than the mainland, and it is almost equivalent to spending no money to find the locals to do tricks. Of course, in addition to seafood and fish, a lot of other food is brought in from outside, so the food is very expensive. However, eating fish and coconut is very cheap...... Generally. If the two of them want to invest in filming in the Maldives, they only need to pay some travel expenses. Other places are even cheaper than making movies in Hong Kong. ”…,

When these words came out, Fang Yihua and Zou Wenhuai's eyes lit up, and even Xiang Huaqiang next to him, as well as Sammo Hung who was sitting behind, listened attentively.

"My Mr. Wang, Boss Wang, you have really done a great deed!" Zou Wenhuai quickly figured things out, and patted Wang Zijun's hand excitedly and said. If it is true, it is as Wang Zijun said. The Maldives has become a filming base for Hong Kong and Taiwan filmmakers. If you want to make some exotic movies in the future, you don't need to spend a lot of money to go to Europe and the United States.

Wang Zijun smiled and provided convenience for these filmmakers. It was also the idea he came up with. Not only for Hong Kong and Taiwan, but also for all filmmakers in the world, the Maldives is open to all filmmakers in the world, but because of Wang Zijun's relationship, it is more preferential for Hong Kong and Taiwan filmmakers.

The more movies that feature the Maldives, the more famous the Maldives becomes. Moreover, as soon as these filmmakers come to shoot, the whole crew comes together, can those stars and staff hold back if they come to have a good time? Even if you don't play, you always have to stay and eat! This is also a tourist resource.

The premiere was a complete success, followed by the premiere celebration dinner hosted by Wang Zijun at the Hilton Hotel in Hong Kong.

I took this opportunity to have a relationship with the Hong Kong entertainment industry and media people, and at the same time repeated what I just said to Zou Wenhuai and Fang Yihua.

People in the entertainment industry reacted differently, and the reporters were very enthusiastic, and from time to time they came to interview Wang Zijun under the pretext of toasting.

After three rounds of drinking, Teddy Robin came over with a few people and introduced Wang Zijun: "Ah Jun, this is Mai Jia, this is Huang Baiming, Shi Tian!" ”

"Hello Mr. Wang!"

"Hello Boss Wang!"

After shaking hands with a few people, Wang Zijun's drunken eyes instantly sobered up, and just looked at the few people brought by Teddy Robin to know what the so-called important things he said earlier were.

Wang Zijun held the wine glass and said, "Let's go, go over there and talk." ”

A few people found a place in the corner, sat on the sofa and talked.

In the future, the seven monsters of Xinyicheng are Mai Jia, Shi Tian, Huang Baiming, Tsui Hark, Shi Nansheng, Zeng Zhiwei, and Teddy Robin, and now there are four of these seven monsters at once, what else can you talk about?

Xinyicheng was supposed to be established in September this year, after getting the investment of the "Golden Princess" Boss Lei. The ghost knows what's going on now, these people didn't look for Boss Lei, but found him Wang Zijun to invest.

Perhaps, it is because he Wang Zijun has always been known for his generosity, and Teddy Robin has a good personal relationship with Wang Zijun.

"Investment, of course, I would be happy to help friends in the circle." Wang Zijun said.

As soon as Wang Zijun said this, Huang Baiming and Shi Tian both had smiles on their faces, and Teddy Robin had an expression that he knew this earlier, only Mai Jia couldn't see any reaction on his face.

In fact, the establishment of the film company was initially only involving Huang Baiming, Shi Tian and Mai Jia. The three of them have been in the film and television industry for many years, and they are ready to partner with everyone to make their own film company, and they don't need to look at other people's faces, but unfortunately there is a big gap in funds.

Mai Jia is ready to find the mysterious Boss Lei to invest, and he has already made initial contact, as long as he pulls in after the investment. Mai Jia can get the lion's share in the new company.

Unexpectedly, Huang Baiming actually found his old friend Teddy Robin, because Teddy Robin has a relationship with Wang Zijun, and Wang Zijun likes to invest everywhere This is a well-known thing, and it should be no problem to come to Wang Zijun to invest.

This can make Mai Jia's plan come to naught, if Teddy Robin Pull's investment is successful, he Mai Jia Ke will not have much stake in the future company.

Wang Zijun tasted the red wine and asked, "How much do you want me to invest?" ”

Huang Baiming quietly pointed two fingers at Teddy Robin, and Teddy Robin was stunned, because what they had said was that it was enough to ask Wang Zijun for 10 million. The rest was made up by himself, but he didn't expect Huang Baiming to temporarily change his mind and ask for 20 million. …,

Perhaps, it was because Wang Zijun agreed so happily, and he wanted to get a little more.

Teddy Robin's mind turned, and he said directly: "Thirty million Hong Kong dollars!" ”

"Poof!" Shi Tian, who had been drinking and didn't speak, squirted out a mouthful of red wine.

"Okay, no problem." Wang Zijun said with a smile, "Several of them are celebrities in the entertainment industry, so they can be known to everyone." How can 30 million be enough for you to show your strength? I'll take 50 million out. ”

is either not generous, or generous enough to make others blush, this is Wang Zijun's consistent style of doing things.

Shi Tian wiped the wine stains on his mouth. Xindao: The rumors are true, this Wang Zijun is really so rich that he burns his hands. I'm afraid I won't need it.

Mai Jia was also a little stunned, how could they pull in five times the investment they originally expected in a blink of an eye? This thing is so wicked.

"Why not?" Seeing that several people didn't speak, Wang Zijun asked with a smile.

"Yes, of course. It's just," Huang Baiming hesitated, "How will this share be distributed?" ”

Wang Zijun said: "I want 40% of the shares alone, and you can divide the rest." How is it? ”

Wang Zijun's plan is similar to the shares of Boss Lei in the establishment of Xinyicheng. It's only a few percentage points more, but Wang Zijun's investment is much more than that of Boss Lei.

Teddy Robin, you look at me, I look at you, all of them are happy.

But I heard Wang Zijun say again: "Why don't you just divide it equally between the four of you, and one person will have 15% of the shares, so as not to distribute it unevenly in the future and turn against your friends." Of course, I'm just suggesting, and you'll discuss it yourself. ”

Huang Baiming and Shi Tian naturally have no problem, in the parallel space, their shares in the new art city are 19% and 9% respectively.

And Mai Jia's mood is a little complicated, he discussed with Boss Lei that after the company is formed, he can get more than 30% of the shares. However, Wang Zijun's investment is much more than that of Boss Lei, and it seems that he does not suffer much if he has less shares.

In fact, Huang Baiming and Shi Tian can't guarantee that after the establishment of the new art city, it will grow to the point of going against the sky, so that the always hostile Jiahe and Shaw Brothers can't suppress it. Over the years, there have been many film companies set up by people in the industry themselves, but except for Zou Wenhuai, everyone else is petty. Wu Siyuan and Sammo Hung did a little better, but they didn't make much money.

The current thinking of several people is that Wang Zijun's investment of 50 million yuan is a fortune from heaven, and everyone will not suffer a loss if they do a good job in the company, and if they don't do well, they will lose money, and Wang Zijun will support them.

They originally wanted to contribute some money to partner with investors, but now Wang Zijun has no intention of letting them pay at all, but is so generous that he directly sends money to them to set up a company. In other words, even if the company goes out of business immediately, they just pat their butts and leave, and they can still make a profit.

Compared with the Boss Lei contacted by Mai Jia, Wang Zijun is simply the No. 1 Kaizi in Tianzi.

Of course, they really didn't dare to deliberately bankrupt the company, and then share Wang Zijun's money and leave. First, they really want to make movies, and secondly, the Chinese film industry is so big, if they swallow up investors' money, after this news spreads, they don't want to continue to mix in the circle in the future.

Teddy Robin thought about it, and agreed to Wang Zijun's plan, anyway, he was asked to pay, and it was not bad to get 15% of the shares.

"Okay, that's it. I will invest 50 million Hong Kong dollars in full, accounting for 40% of the company's shares, and the four of you will share the remaining 60%. Wang Zijun clapped his hands and said, "Have you thought of the name of the company?" ”

"Not yet, or boss, you can get up." Huang Baiming said with a smile, and even his title changed. In the original plan, he also had to take out a large amount of savings to start a company, but now he doesn't need to use the money at all, and he is in a good mood.

Wang Zijun said: "The new company should have a new atmosphere, so let's just call it New Art City." ”

"That's a good name!" The four of them agreed, and then happily drank and chatted.

In the eyes of the four people, Wang Zijun is really generous and generous, and there has never been a time when the investment has been so smooth, many financiers don't stalk you for a few days, and they don't dump you at all, how can anyone like Wang Zijun be willing to pay with a few words?

Wang Zijun is also happy, he picked up a few cattle for nothing, and if he doesn't do anything in the next ten years, he will be able to make a lot of money from Xinyi City. It's just that I don't know how long these people can work together, and when they feel that their wings are stiff and they are dissatisfied, they will definitely fly solo.

For example, Mai Jia is not very honest, in the parallel space, this guy took the lion's head in the new art city, and actually made the same type of movie with Sammo Hung privately, stole his own company, and blew up the lungs of several other partners.

Of course, there is also a situation, that is, if Xinyicheng grows into a behemoth, and the cost of flying four people solo is too high, that is another matter.

――――――――――――――

Haha, the promise of 16,000 words is fulfilled.

Unexpectedly, Lao Wang also had a day to fulfill the promise of a man, so I went to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

In addition, don't complain if there is a typo, there is no time to change it, I will check it again later, and it may be revised in the middle of the night.
