Lu Shaohua seemed to be able to understand what Huo Yingdong meant, shook his head and sighed, Huo's Group is mainly engaged in real estate, and it is not involved in movies. And Lu Shaohua is looking for Xiang Huaqiang, the underworld big brother and movie tycoon, of course, he is ready to invest in the film industry, so it is a bit unsuitable for Huo Yingdong, but if he wants to participate in the investment, Lu Shaohua will not mind.

"Huh! Let me talk about the cooperation project first, and then you will see if you want to participate in the investment. After speaking, Lu Shaohua paused and continued. The Hong Kong film industry is very developed now, and I personally feel that we can cooperate in this area. ”

Lu Shaohua is telling the truth, in the 90s, Hong Kong films were indeed very developed, and they had a certain influence in the southeast region and even in the world, but they gradually declined in the later period, and the reason for this decline is that the bosses of those film companies always think about 'winning high income with the smallest investment', in the final analysis, they are reluctant to increase investment, as the saying goes, reluctant children can't trap wolves, if there is a good film, especially the kind of good film with a big scene, if you don't invest additional funds, you can succeed there.

"Oh? Don't sell it, just say it. Xiang Huaqiang urged.

"That's it, don't be foolish." Fok Yingdong also agreed.

"Hehe, then I'll be blunt." Lu Shaohua first smiled, took a deep breath, organized the language, and then continued. "According to my personal speculation, future movies should pursue the kind of big scenes, that is, the bigger the scene, the more attractive it is."

After a pause, Lu Shaohua didn't wait to speak to Hua Qiang, and continued. "A big-scene movie requires more investment, and now several film companies in Hong Kong are pursuing the best benefits with the smallest investment, and some big-scene movies will not invest at all."

Speaking of this, Lu Shaohua stopped, he was giving Xiang Huaqiang a little time to react, as for Huo Yingdong, he was a layman and didn't understand these things at all.

After a while, Xiang Huaqiang nodded and said. "Well, now Hong Kong film companies are indeed pursuing the best interests with the smallest investment, including my company, for the simple reason that if a big-budget film is made and the box office is sluggish, it will be lost."

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua laughed, there is no need to say to Hua Qiang about the worries of those film companies, Lu Shaohua also knows. "This is indeed a big problem, but Uncle Xiang, have you ever thought about it, with the development of the times, it is imperative to increase investment, if it remains unchanged, the final result is elimination."

After a pause, Lu Shaohua glanced at Xiang Huaqiang with a smile, and continued. "That's why I proposed cooperation, a big investment movie, if there are several people to cooperate, a few people to share the risk, even if it is a loss, it will not be too big. Oh, if you work together and have unprecedented success, then the money you make is not divided between one plus one equals two! ”

With Lu Shaohua's financial strength, he can invest by himself, but Lu Shaohua doesn't want to do this, although there is discord between Hong Kong's film companies and film companies, sometimes they are unusually united, and Lu Shaohua's increased investment will inevitably increase the salaries of actors, which will disrupt the Hong Kong film market, if so, it will definitely provoke major film companies to join forces to suppress it.

Moreover, many theaters in Hong Kong are now in the hands of various film companies, even if Lu Shaohua's Phoenix Entertainment smashes out a good film, and people don't release it to you, you will be in vain, so the only thing Lu Shaohua can do is to join forces with them.

Lu Shaohua has reason to believe that as long as the first part of the investment is successful and they taste the sweetness, then it will be much easier to follow. As for whether the first one can really succeed, Lu Shaohua is not worried at all, just kidding, don't forget that he is a reborn person, when he was a technical director in an Internet café in his previous life, he liked those big-scene and big-budget movies very much, and he also knew that they could attract people.

Lu Shaohua's words made Xiang Huaqiang fall into deep thought, he was thinking about whether what Lu Shaohua said was feasible, as Lu Shaohua said, it was a loss, and there were several companies to share it together, and the loss was not much, besides, if the first part was lost, he could no longer invest and terminate the cooperation!

Lu Shaohua didn't care what Xiang Huaqiang was thinking, and continued. "Uncle Xiang, if we do a good job in publicizing a movie with a big scene, are you still afraid that no one will come to see it? It's that everyone is the same, they all have curiosity, if I release a message now that we have invested tens of millions or hundreds of millions of yuan in a film, this amount of investment alone is enough to attract the attention of many people. ”

Yes, publicity is also a very important part, Hong Kong movies really don't pay much attention to publicity, although there is publicity, but the intensity is not great, it can be said that there is no publicity at all. If several companies work together, Lu Shaohua can fully expect that there may be a scene like the risk of the last establishment of Longteng, even if it is not deliberately promoted, the coal body will be automatically promoted.

was said by Lu Shaohua, Xiang Huaqiang seemed to be a little moved, according to Lu Shaohua, using large investment as the theme of publicity can indeed attract people's attention, as long as the premiere is popular, the funds invested will almost return to the capital, what else is there to be afraid of.

"Well, I think this method can work, but making a movie is not as simple as talking, such as the script, director, actors and other details are still very complicated." Xiang Huaqiang expressed his worries.

"Hey, hey! I also think I can try, so let's count me in, but let me state first, I only pay for it, and I don't care about anything else. Huo Yingdong also came to be interested, he didn't know much about the film industry, he just thought that he could make money, so he wanted to get involved.

"Grandpa Huo, do you really want to participate in the shares?" Lu Shaohua asked.

"Well, seriously, I'm interested in the cooperation projects you proposed, let's just talk about Longteng, it's only been a few months from 100 million to more than 100 million now, and the speed of this money is very fast!" Huo Yingdong said with a smile.

"Okay, since both of you are interesting, let's forget it like this, and pull a few more people to invest together." Lu Shaohua nodded, relying on the three of them Lu Shaohua feels that it is not enough, it is better to pull all the powerful film companies in Hong Kong together, so that it will be very convenient whether it is an actor or a later broadcast in the theater, but there are contradictions between Hong Kong film companies, and it is not easy to cooperate. "Grandpa Huo, if you want to get involved, in addition to paying money, you also have to complete a task."

"Oh! Tell me what the task. Huo Yingdong asked.

"I personally think that it is not enough for the three of us to join forces, we should involve two more people, so as to reduce the risk of investment, in case of loss, our loss will not be so big." After speaking, Lu Shaohua stopped, glanced at Huo Yingdong and Xiang Huaqiang, it is undeniable that both of them nodded in unison to indicate that Lu Shaohua was reasonable, and seeing that they all nodded, Lu Shaohua continued. "There are only a few well-known film companies in Hong Kong, and since we are going to cooperate, we should expand our influence without limit."

"Momentum?" Huo Yingdong immediately saw Lu Shaohua's intentions and said.

"Haha, yes, it's just to build momentum, just think about it, several film companies that are very influential in Hong Kong have come over to work together, but it's a gimmick!" Lu Shaohua said with a smile, but the smile was a little sinister.

"Well, then what do you say about the two of them?" Huo Yingdong asked again.

"Zou Wenhuai, Run Run Shaw." Lu Shaohua said the names of the two people without thinking about it. Needless to say, Zou Wenhuai is one of the founders of Golden Harvest Film Company, and has a great influence in the Hong Kong film industry, as for Run Run Shaw is the founder of Shaw Brothers Film Company, not to mention his influence, but now Shaw Brothers has discontinued films, but the influence is still there.

"Sixth Uncle Shao?" This time he spoke to Hua Qiang, and when he said it, he glanced at Lu Shaohua, as if to confirm whether Lu Shaohua had said the wrong name.

"Yes, it's Uncle Shao. I know you mean to say that Uncle Shao has stopped producing the movie, right? After speaking, Lu Shaohua didn't wait for Xiang Huaqiang to say anything more, and asked and answered himself. Although Uncle Shao Liu's movie has been discontinued, he still has a lot of influence in the film industry, and if he is brought in to invest together, we will get twice the result with half the effort. ”

It is undeniable that Lu Shaohua's views were agreed by Xiang Huaqiang and Huo Yingdong, and both nodded at the same time. But then again, it's not as easy as it seems to get the two of them on the same front.

It's really not easy, but in Lu Shaohua's opinion, it's not so difficult, who let Huo Yingdong get involved, Huo Yingdong can be regarded as a good person in Hong Kong, rarely has enemies with others, and has a good relationship with all parties, so being the best person to be the middleman is the best candidate.

"Hehe, Grandpa Huo, this is the task I told you, you always go out in person and pull them in to cooperate, I believe it is not a difficult thing, right?" Lu Shaohua finally said his purpose.

"Hey! I know that there is no such cheap thing in the world, no, let your kid calculate. Huo Yingdong made a small joke, and then said seriously. I won't say 100% success, but I'll try my best to convince them, and now the main thing is you, to your nephew, if they join in, do you have any opinion? ”

"Hehe, everyone is a businessman, interests are the most important, as long as there is money to make, I have no opinion, besides, if we can really work together, I am only responsible for paying for people, I don't care about the rest." Xiang Huaqiang also made his position clear.

Indeed, Hong Kong's film companies are fighting to the death, and no one admits defeat, in the final analysis, it is not a matter of interests, for fear that their companies will be suppressed, so they always sing the right game.

"Okay, this matter is decided, the most important thing is to look at Grandpa Huo, you have to persuade them to participate first, and after they agree, we will sit down and discuss the next details." Lu Shaohua finally decided this matter. There is no way, if Zou Wenhuai and Run Run Shaw can't be persuaded to join, it will be empty talk to discuss the details now.

"Okay, I'll do my best, I'll talk to them tomorrow." Huo Yingdong agreed, and it depends on God's will whether he can succeed.
