Chapter 754: The King of Comedy

In fact, Lu Shaohua's Phoenix Entertainment Company is indeed different, not to mention anything else, let's just talk about Hong Kong theaters, there is only one company under the company, and it is still a very small one, and whenever the company makes a new film, it is taken to someone else's theater to premiere.

Helpless, Hong Kong's theaters are all famous, Lu Shaohua can only take this method to survive, Lucky Phoenix Group is one of the top giant companies in Hong Kong, once a film comes out, many companies will give face a little time to premiere.

Among them, there are theaters under China Star Film Company, that is, theaters under Xiang Huaqiang, which are even more supportive, and sometimes postpone the premiere of their own company's films, giving prime time to Phoenix Entertainment's films.

With Xiang Huaqiang's status in Hong Kong, he doesn't need to look at anyone's face to act, even if he is the chief executive of Hong Kong, Xiang Huaqiang can be on an equal footing with him, but in the matter of Phoenix Entertainment Company, Xiang Huaqiang has given enough face, which makes the outside world feel very strange.

However, what the outside world doesn't know is that the Xiang family can still survive after Hong Kong's return to Hong Kong is completely due to Lu Shaohua's previous guidance and the good relationship between the two families, and the care of Lu Chang, an official stationed in Hong Kong, otherwise the Xiang family would have become the target of a crackdown.

Therefore, Xiang Huaqiang's ability to continue to survive in Hong Kong is entirely the credit of Lu Shaohua alone, how can Xiang Huaqiang not give face. Moreover, Lu Shaohua destroyed a gang last time, and Xiang Huaqiang could get a piece of land for nothing, and he owed Lu Shaohua a favor.

The people of the Black Club are the first to be righteous, and there is no doubt that Xiang Huaqiang is one of the people who are righteous, and it seems not incomprehensible that he would squeeze out a little time to premiere Lu Shaohua's company's film. What's more, Lu Shaohua is not too excessive, some important festivals and Saturdays and Sundays generally do not compete with Chinese star movies.

But then again, although Phoenix Entertainment Company is a four-like company, no film company dares to underestimate him, whenever most of the films produced by Phoenix Entertainment Company are good films, and the box office is extremely high, which is incomparable to other film companies.

On the other hand, most of the singers under Phoenix Entertainment are powerful singers, and the sales of the records are excellent, which has led to the company's unshakable position in the record industry.

It is precisely in this way that although Phoenix Entertainment Company is a four-like company, it is also one of the best companies in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and it is definitely not comparable to the kind of leather shell company.

And these are naturally clear to Xiang Huaqiang, so when Lu Shaohua said that the four are not like the company, Xiang Huaqiang smiled back, shook his head a little helplessly, and said. "Now you go out and ask, what are the movies and records produced by Phoenix Entertainment? I'm sure everyone would say it's a boutique. ”

"Produced by Phoenix, it must be a high-quality product."

This advertising slogan is not casually said, there are traces, and it is also the effect achieved after a long period of accumulation, whether it is a car or a household appliance, or a record movie, it is indeed a high-quality product, and none of them are defective.

Of course, Lu Shaohua knew this, so when Xiang Huaqiang said the word boutique, Lu Shaohua's vanity was greatly satisfied.

It's not the best to say good yourself, it's best to ask others to say good.

Now that Xiang Huaqiang has said yes, and Phoenix Group was founded by Lu Shaohua, how can he, the founder, be praised, how can he not be happy, how can he not be vain.

However, Lu Shaohua didn't come to discuss these things with Xiang Huaqiang today, he brought Anteng Chiyo over to get to know Xiang Huaqiang, and what things he encountered in Hong Kong in the future can be quickly resolved, and he doesn't need to let himself come forward all the time.

Well, this is the primary purpose of Lu Shaohua to bring Anteng Chiyo over, and there is a more important purpose that Lu Shaohua wants to come to Huaqiang to find a film here, looking for a film that can be popular and suitable for Anteng Chiyo to participate in.

It's not that there are no good films and popular films in Phoenix Entertainment Company, but Xiang Huaqiang has a little more here, after all, Xiang Huaqiang began to get involved in the film industry more than ten years ago, and he has a wide range of contacts in this field, and there are too many screenwriters under him to count, and there are many films, maybe you will come across a good movie if you look for it.

Not to mention, when Lu Shaohua brought this up to Xiang Huaqiang, Xiang Huaqiang seemed to have already guessed, got a lot of scripts from the edge of the office and threw them to Lu Shaohua, and then threw down a sentence: "You can watch it yourself, if there is a suitable movie, our two companies can cooperate." ”

Xiang Huaqiang has long known what Lu Shaohua's vision is, not long after the establishment of Phoenix Entertainment Company, Lu Shaohua took a few movies from him, and the box office of the last few movies was all extremely high, which made Xiang Huaqiang very depressed.

No way, the script originally belonged to Xiang Huaqiang's company, but it was later scraped by Lu Shaohua, although the contributions of the two were equal, but Lu Shaohua made some money in the later stage, how could Xiang Huaqiang not be depressed.

So in the later stage, Xiang Huaqiang also showed the script to Lu Shaohua a few times, but he didn't talk about cooperation, but asked Lu Shaohua which one he was optimistic about, and then he funded the filming, and the final result also showed that Lu Shaohua's vision was very unique, and no movie had a bad box office.

Lu Shaohua has vision, Xiang Huaqiang has a script, he can't wait for Lu Shaohua to watch a few movies, and then he finds one to cooperate with Lu Shaohua, and the rest is fully invested in filming, and strives for the premiere next year, then the box office champion in 1999 basically belongs to China Star Film Company.

And Lu Shaohua did not disappoint Xiang Huaqiang, he rummaged in the script pile for a while, looked at the name, changed the next one, changed it again, took it out and looked at the content inside, changed it again, changed it again, changed it again, changed dozens of copies, Lu Shaohua finally found a movie that he was interested in.

I saw that the cover of a script had four big characters written on the cover of "The King of Comedy", Lu Shaohua felt that the name was very familiar at first, and then looked at the content inside, and finally settled down in his heart.

"That's right, this is it."

I have determined that the "King of Comedy" in my hand is the "King of Comedy" in my memory. Lu Shaohua's mind automatically flashed information about "The King of Comedy", and learned that this "King of Comedy" won the box office champion in 1999 and got an unprecedented 29.8 million, starring Stephen Chow, Cecilia Cheung and Karen Mok.

"That's it, "The King of Comedy", just look at the name and know that this is a comedy, and now Hong Kong's comedy seems to have great potential and good prospects." Lu Shaohua praised it, paused, and then went around to the topic and said. "Uncle Xiang, how is it? Collaborate or give me a supporting role? ”

The script is Xiang Huaqiang's, and Xiang Huaqiang occupies a dominant position, even if Xiang Huaqiang mentioned that the two companies cooperated, Lu Shaohua felt that it was better to ask.

"I mean what I say, cooperate, and shoot together, as for the role of the supporting role, it's not a problem, you wait to bring the script back, let Mr. Chen take a look, and the role you like will be arranged, and then organize people to shoot this film as soon as possible." Xiang Huaqiang made a direct decision, and then Xiang Huaqiang also made a request. "But before that, you'll have to help me pick a few more that I think are promising, so I can start work next year."

put forward an additional condition to Hua Qiang, which can be regarded as compensating for being taken away by Lu Shaohua for a good film, so that while cooperating, he can only plan around the good films selected by Lu Shaohua next year, that is, in 1999.

"No problem." Lu Shaohua happily agreed.

Just kidding, Lu Shaohua got a box office champion film, which is tantamount to grabbing food from Xiang Huaqiang's mouth, although Xiang Huaqiang agreed, but Lu Shaohua felt a little awkward, and it was also appropriate to help Xiang Huaqiang pick a few films, which can be regarded as compensation.

The next thing is much simpler, Lu Shaohua helped pick three films, all of which are more ideal films in memory, after handing over the script to Xiang Huaqiang, there was no squeak, and then he sat quietly.

Lu Shaohua knew that Xiang Huaqiang at this moment had already focused on the script, and had no time to discuss other things with Lu Shaohua.

In fact, when he took the script handed over by Lu Shaohua, his eyes lit up, and then he began to read the script.

After reading the general content of the script, Xiang Huaqiang exhaled, folded it, flicked it with his fingers, looked at Lu Shaohua, showed a satisfied smile, and then got up, locked the three scripts in the safe under the desk, and then returned to the sofa and sat down.

"I've read these three scripts before, but it's completely different from what I watch now, well, at least I feel different, and now I feel like it's a good movie." Xiang Huaqiang said with a smile.

Indeed, I don't know if it's a psychological effect or what, the script was picked out from Lu Shaohua's hands, and Xiang Huaqiang's feelings were completely different, maybe it was intuition, thinking that it was a good film, and to put it mildly, it was a good movie that could make money.

In this regard, Lu Shaohua smiled, his task was completed, and there was nothing serious to do next, only small talk.

Calculating the time, Lu Shaohua has not been together with Xiang Huaqiang for a long time, and today is a good opportunity to take the opportunity to contact and contact feelings.

Speaking of small talk, it is inevitable to be complained to Huaqiang, it is about the financial turmoil, many people know that when the Asian financial turmoil came, Li Jiacheng and Huo Yingdong made a lot of money, and it was Lu Shaohua, the boss of the Phoenix Group, who took them to make money.

And he Xiang Huaqiang is also one of the closest to Lu Shaohua, and he didn't take him to make a fortune with him, so of course Xiang Huaqiang has to complain.

However, Xiang Huaqiang also knows that with his net worth, he can't keep up with Lu Shaohua's rhythm, after all, people play with a lot of money, and it is tens of billions of dollars, or even hundreds of billions of dollars, and he Xiang Huaqiang has not yet reached that point.

However, Lu Shaohua also said that if he had the opportunity next time, he would definitely bring Xiang Huaqiang, which made Xiang Huaqiang happy, and finally stopped the topic, began to talk about the world, and turned to some more gossip topics.
