In the summer of 1993, the Hong Kong stock market continued to boom. The Hang Seng Index has continued to grow for five consecutive years, and this year's increase has suddenly increased.

Compared with Hong Kong's bull market that has lasted for more than five years, the Hong Kong film industry is much more tragic.

Due to the poor box office of the summer file, several major cinema companies have been affected.

The first to make a move was Chen Rongmei, this gentleman has two cinemas in his hands: one is the Xinbao Cinema Line established by him, and the other is the Jinsheng Cinema Line that was renamed after buying Princess Jin.

When Hong Kong films were booming a few years ago, Chen Rongmei's cinema line could be described as making money day by day. But since the beginning of this year, the profitability of the theater chain has not been optimistic, until several consecutive movies in the summer file were coldly received, and the two theater chains under Chen Rongmei began to suffer large losses.

Xinbao Cinema Line was co-founded by Chen Rongmei, and the partners from Nanyang and Hong Kong withdrew their shares one after another, leaving Chen Rongmei alone to cry there. In desperation, Chen Rongmei had no choice but to close down some movie theaters with bad locations and old equipment, and then merge Xinbao and Jinsheng into one theater chain, and the number of theaters was reduced by one-third compared with before.

Not only Xinbao and Jinsheng, but also several other major cinema companies in Hong Kong have also made adjustments, and some unprofitable cinemas have been closed.

The same is true of Kang Jianfei's Oriental Cinema Company, except for the Taiping Cinema, all the old single-hall cinemas are closed. After some adjustments, there are only 22 cinemas left under the Oriental Cinema Line (Hong Kong).

In terms of artists' salaries, the salaries of ordinary actors have not changed much, but the salaries of celebrities have shrunk significantly. Stars like Liu Dehua, who rely on the inflated value of Taiwan's box office market, have all dropped their salaries to below 10 million. Because Hong Kong films are not so popular in Taiwan.

Now the Hong Kong stars with a salary of more than 10 million, in addition to Cheng Long and Zhou Xingchi, have also added Li Lianjie and Leung Jiahui.

Due to the hot sales of the two "Fang Shiyu", Li Lianjie's salary increased instead of falling, and finally broke through the 10 million mark for the first time. and Leung Ka-fai is because he starred in "Jurassic Park". This global box office blockbuster of 900 million US dollars has skyrocketed his net worth, and many European and American film companies have asked him to make films, with Leung Ka-fai's popularity in the European and American markets, his Hong Kong salary is stable at more than 12 million.

As for Zhou Yunfa, he and Wu Yusen went to the United States to film "Changing Face", and it is unclear whether his salary will increase or decrease.

Other A-listers. The salary has basically dropped by more than 500,000. This is decided by the market, it's useless for stars to complain, haven't you seen so many movie theaters closed?

Faced with this situation, many movie studio owners have begun to use their brains.

For example, Luo Jiecheng of Yonggao Film Company, the boss was originally from Macau. Two years ago, he took over Pan Disheng's film company and cinema chain, and invited Huang Baiming to co-founded Yonggao Film Company and Yonggao Cinema Line.

After Huang Baiming left Yonggao, Luo Jiecheng was a film layman at all, and Yonggao Film Company has been losing money. This year, Roger admitted that he had made a lot of money in the Hong Kong stock market, but he failed in the film market.

A nightclub in Wan Chai, Hong Kong.

Peng Qihua sat on the sofa cautiously, and didn't care about flirting with the two escort girls beside him. He was embarrassed and said: "Mr. Luo, 5 million really don't please move Liang Jiahui, at least add 5 million." ”

Roger admitted and said impatiently: "How old is Liang Jiahui?" 10 million Lao Tzu might as well invite Zhou Xingchi. ”

Peng Qihua explained helplessly: "Please ask Leung Jiahui to make a film." is generally intended to be sold in Europe and the United States, and after he starred in "Jurassic Park", foreigners recognized his face. I talked to Liang Jiahui a few times, and he is willing to reduce his salary by 2 million, and 10 million really can't be lower. ”

It is said that Leung Jiahui's situation is also very embarrassing, and his salary offer on the Hollywood side has reached $6 million. But the quote is just that. As a Chinese actor, Leung Ka-fai really doesn't have any good roles to play in Hollywood. It can only continue to develop in Hong Kong.

6 million US dollars is converted into Hong Kong dollars is nearly 50 million, and Hong Kong film companies naturally can't afford to produce so much. had to treat him as a top star, and his salary was set at more than 12 million Hong Kong dollars.

But even so, there are not many people who ask Leung Ka-fai to make a movie, because the asking price is too high, and it is better to invite him than to invite Chow Xingchi - Chow Xingchi is more popular among fans in Chinese-speaking areas.

is very valuable, but no one can afford it, this is the embarrassing situation that Leung Jiahui is facing now, he has lowered his salary to 10 million, and there is still no film contract to accept.

Roger took a puff of his cigar and said, "Then please Liu Dehua, you invite him for 5 million." ”

The corners of Peng Qihua's mouth twitched, and he squeezed out a smile and said, "Mr. Luo, I really can't do anything about this, I'm afraid I need you to ask for it." ”

Roger took a sip of wine and said, "No problem, the hero and heroine are decided, let Liu Dehua and Liu Jialing play." ”

Peng Qihua couldn't help but remind: "Mr. Luo, Liu Jialing has joined the Oriental Brokerage Company, and she is not as messy as before." ”

Roger frowned and scolded, "It's again. Kang Jianfei! Don't worry, I'll take care of it. ”

"Mr. Luo, then I'll leave first." Peng Qihua reluctantly got up and left. He is just a small director, and he doesn't dare to talk more in front of Roger Cheng, otherwise he will be wronged if there is an accident one day.

Don't look at Roger Cheng as a serious businessman, this guy's background is not innocent. In another time and space, "The Tiger of Wan Chai", based on Chan Yiu Hing, was filmed by Roger Cheng as a famous director, and this person has many connections with New Ngee An, and some people even suspect that he is a member of New Ngee Ann in Macau.

In the past few years, Roger has been in constant litigation, accused of violently recovering advertising fees, using dishonored checks, etc., and is suspected of intimidating others. Later, he was ambushed and stabbed three times in Tsim Sha Tsui, and spent two years in prison in Macau, until after 2000, when he became a well-known rich man in Hong Kong.

After Peng Qihua left the private room of the nightclub, Chen Yaoxing, the tiger of Wan Chai, came in with a bottle of XO and asked with a smile: "Brother Cheng, are you still having fun?" Call you two more chicks? ”

"No need." Roger Cheng helped Chen Yaoxing fill a glass and said. "Ah Hu, I want to ask you something."

Chen Yaoxing took a drink and said, "What is the matter of the Tao? ”

Luo Jiecheng asked: "This Kang Jianfei has a good relationship with the big guy Xiang?" ”

Chen Yaoxing shook his head and said, "It's not very clear, what do you ask him to do?" I don't want to attack him, I can't do it. ”

Chen Yaoxing is also a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, he is not afraid of Kang Jianfei. Rather, they are afraid of the British government in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong's community is very powerful, but there is an unwritten rule, that is, not to start with the rich who do serious business. You cut people, collect protection money, the police turn a blind eye and pass away, and once you move the rich people who are in the top line, the guns in the hands of the Royal Police are not toys.

Gangsters who really intimidate and kidnap Hong Kong's tycoons. Without exception, all of them were outsiders, either from the old big circles in the mainland, or from Vietnamese boat people who were so poor that they only had a pair of pants left.

With Kang Jianfei's current status as the richest man in Hong Kong, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to provoke the local gangs in Hong Kong, the local gangs in Hong Kong will collect protection money from the companies under his command at most. Didn't dare to do anything to him personally at all.

Roger admitted with a smile: "I was full of food to provoke Kang Jianfei, I asked him how strong he was on the road, I heard that no one dared to force the actors of his company to film?" ”

Chen Yaoxing said: "Kang Jianfei has a good personal relationship with the big guy, I don't know the specifics, but I heard that Kang Jianfei is also very good at talking to the word pile." You know Chen Guifang in Causeway Bay next door, right? ”

"I've heard of it." Luo Jiecheng nodded, "Chen Guifang has risen very quickly in the past two years, and I heard that he has almost occupied the territory of Causeway Bay. ”

Causeway Bay is next to Wan Chai, and the most prominent people in the underground society in recent years are Chan Yiu-hing and Chan Kwai Fong. The former relied on fierce fighting to monopolize Wan Chai. Become one of the Five Tigers of New Ngee An; The latter, who were bribed off with money and occupied Causeway Bay by force, are both emerging forces in Hong Kong's community that have become famous.

Chen Yaoxing hugged a wine girl. knocked on Erlang's leg and said: "Chen Guifang has smashed out more than 10 million yuan just by buying people, where did he get so much money?" ”

The club is very profitable, and the protection fee is made every day, but it is also very expensive, and raising the younger brother Ma Zai and taking care of the government are hard costs.

Don't look at Chan Yiu-hing's occupation of the oily territory of Wan Chai. But the living money he can use in his hands is only more than 100,000 yuan, and it is impossible to spend tens of millions to buy the other party's subordinates.

Roger Cheng suddenly realized: "You mean that there are investors behind Chen Guifang?" ”

Chen Yaoxing nodded and said, "It is very likely that Kang Jianfei is behind it." And Chen Guifang's current right-hand man Luo Dashi and Liu Jiangang, both of whom are mainland veterans. I suspect that they are also the thugs that Kang Jianfei found for Chen Guifang. ”

The reason why Chen Yaoxing is so clear is because his territory is next to Chen Guifang, and there are some small frictions between the two sides from time to time, and they have touched each other's bottoms.

Luo Jiecheng started in Macau, although he also has some business in Hong Kong, but he doesn't know much about things on Hong Kong Road, he asked: "If I ask the actors of Kang Jianfei's company to film, this should be no problem, right?" ”

"Don't mess around, last year 14k had an idiot who forced Zhou Xingchi to invite him, the movie hasn't started filming yet, that guy was picked on his hamstrings, and he couldn't even find out who moved his hand afterwards." Chen Yaoxing hurriedly spoke out to stop Luo Jiecheng's crazy move. His Wan Chai tiger Chen Yaoxing is also famous for not wanting to die, but he is quite afraid of some people's assassination methods, because the other party's methods are so clever that they simply come and go without a trace, and it is difficult to find even clues afterwards.

Quite simply, this is the work of a war-experienced scout, and it is not easy to deal with the people in the gang.

Roger Cheng had also heard about it, but his film company was losing too much money, and he didn't have the money to hire big stars to film. After weighing it again and again, he gave up forcing Liu Jialing and selected the heroes and heroines as Liu Dehua and Zhang Manyu.

……

While Roger was trying his best to play the crooked ways, Mr. Kang himself was living happily.

Qingshuiwan Villa Village, which has been abandoned for several years, is now very popular, and basically all the villas have been sold. Kang Jianfei's seaside villa is at the very end, he bought all the nearby barren beaches, spent a lot of effort to transform them into beautiful beaches, and built green fences with trees and flowers around them, so that outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission.

The full moon is high in the sky, a bonfire is lit on the beach, and the rabbits and fresh fish are leaned on with golden oil, and the smell makes your mouth water.

Sakai Izumi sang in Japanese with a guitar, while Yang Caini, Xu Ruoxuan and Xie Jinyan beat the beat and occasionally helped her sing a few lines of harmony.

As for Kang Jianfei, he listened to the music and barbecued meat, and there were some beers and red wine scattered around him.

"Cheers!"

The five of them happily raised their glasses and touched each other, Sakai Izumi didn't have many friends, but now he had three more little sisters. That kind of embarrassing thing has been done together, and under Kang Jianfei's deliberate guidance, the relationship between several women quickly became intimate.

In particular, Sakai Spring Water can't speak Cantonese, and she doesn't even have anyone to chat with in Hong Kong except Kang Jianfei. And the three girls have been in Japan for half a year, and although they still speak Japanese very poorly, they have no problem with basic daily communication, so they are just right to be accompanied by Sakai Spring.

"The moon is so round today!" Yang Caini finished nibbling on half of the grilled fish, and rolled around on the beach with her half-full stomach covered.

The four women are all wearing bikinis, among which Xu Ruoxuan's body line is the most perfectly proportioned, while Xie Jinyan's advantage is that she has long legs and big breasts.

Xu Ruoxuan tore off a piece of roasted golden rabbit meat, came to Kang Jianfei's side and said, "Godfather, I'll feed you." ”

Kang Jianfei opened his big mouth, bit the rabbit meat and Xu Ruoxuan's fingers in one bite, and sucked Xu Ruoxuan's green jade fingers with taste.

Xu Ruoxuan didn't withdraw her fingers, let her godfather suck and lick it, but her eyes looked at the little sister Xie Jinyan who was kneeling under her godfather's crotch.

This dead swallow knows how to please his godfather, and he doesn't stop eating when he eats!

Xu Ruoxuan couldn't help but think of that night, her godfather pressed her in front of Yang Caini, Xie Jinyan and Sakai Spring Water and entered her fiercely, and the unforgettable pain and pleasure made her unforgettable for the rest of her life.

The sheets, stained with her virgin blood, were cut out to become the godfather's exclusive collection, and were framed and displayed in a large cabinet. Xu Ruoxuan secretly counted on the side, there were already more than 20 sheets with red sheets in the cabinet, and the godfather was really powerful.

Thinking of this, Xu Ruoxuan couldn't help but get wet again, she crawled over and squeezed Xie Jinyan away, snatching the delicious food from the little sister's mouth.

Sakai Izumi and Yang Caini went to the sea to swim around and came back, and they heard a shameful voice on the shore from afar. Through the bonfire and moonlight, Xie Jinyan and Xu Ruoxuan could be faintly seen hugging each other, and Kang Jianfei pressed against them, and he didn't know whose body he had entered.

"What a man!" Sakai Izumizu complained, but he couldn't help but walk over as he spoke. (To be continued) R580
