"Do you think Lin Youlun is talking the opposite?" Xu Ke hadn't completely recovered from this unexpected answer, and his first reaction was not to believe it.

Without waiting for Shi Nansheng to answer, Xu Ke himself vetoed the idea first, if Lin Youlun did not agree, he would definitely not fall into such a truth.

Lin Youlun's attitude is very easy to explain, no matter whether Lin Jianyue's investment in this movie succeeds or fails, there is nothing to lose to him, this is a matter of temperament.

Shi Nansheng is really worried about the purpose behind Lin Youlun, if Lin Youlun really thinks that Xu Ke will definitely lose this movie, then he agrees that Xu Ke will find Lin Jianyue to cooperate, and it is very likely that he will use Xu Ke to "pit" Lin Jianyue.

Of course, this is Zhou Yu's fight against Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, Lin Jianyue is not a fool, of course, he can see the risk of investing in this movie, if Lin Youlun takes a strong position against it, maybe Lin Jianyue will be more determined in the idea of cooperation, and now Lin Youlun's attitude will only make Lin Jianyue hesitate.

Anyway, this is good news for Xu Ke, as for other things, it is a headache for Lin Jianyue.

——

Lin Jianyue's secretary stopped in front of Huang Baiming, "Mr. Huang, you can't go in now......"

"I have an appointment with Mr. Lin, don't you know the way?" Huang Baiming was slightly unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it directly.

Lin Jianyue's secretary said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Lin is meeting an important guest, and he said that no one is allowed to disturb him, Mr. Huang, can you wait a while?" ”

Huang Baiming saw that the other party's expression was sincere, not like he was lying. He nodded. Follow each other to the side of the lounge and sit down. Wait while drinking coffee.

The door of the lounge was always open, and from the angle from which Huang Baiming was sitting, the door of Lin Jianyue's office could be seen.

After about ten minutes, the door of Lin Jianyue's office finally opened, and a middle-aged man with a goatee stepped out of the door and turned around, bowing to Lin Jianyue, who was about to come out to see him off.

"Mr. Lin stopped."

"Mr. Xu, go slowly, I will seriously consider that matter, and I will definitely give you an answer within three days."

"Then I'll wait for Mr. Lin's good news." Xu Ke and Lin Jianyue said hello. When he turned around to leave, his eyes collided with Huang Baiming who was sitting in the lounge.

Xu Ke and Huang Baiming can get to know each other, thanks to Wu Yusen.

As early as the beginning of the establishment of the new art city, when they were collecting talents everywhere, Mecca and Huang Baiming were very uninterested in Xu Ke, and even said that they were a little scared - Xu Ke was still a cutting-edge director at that time, and the subject matter of the film liked to go off the rails, and the works were applauded but not popular, and they often overspent on shooting. This kind of Xu Ke is really not a suitable candidate for the new art city that is still in its infancy.

But Xinyicheng finally chose Xu Ke, and in the final analysis, this choice was actually because of Wu Yusen's strong recommendation. At that time, Wu Yusen already had some achievements and reputation as a director. and Huang Baiming have a very close personal relationship, and often use the pseudonym Wu Shangfei to help Xinyicheng film. The reason for the name has been changed. It was because Wu Yusen had a contract with Golden Harvest at that time, and Zou Wenhuai had the bearing of the industry's leading boss in this regard, and he generally turned a blind eye to this kind of thing, but it was not a matter for a long time, so Wu Yusen recommended Xu Ke, who was very optimistic about him, to Xinyicheng.

Xu Ke joined Xinyicheng and filmed the modern comedy "Ghost Horse Wisdom and Stars" in the Republic of China, which was applauded after the release of the film, and the box office overwhelmed the fierce films of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers in the same period, shocking the Hong Kong film industry.

In the next two years, Xu Ke became the core figure of Xinyicheng with a series of well-received movies, and his wife Shi Nansheng became the housekeeper of the entire Xinyicheng.

Huang Baiming pulled Gao Zhisen to form his own film company and took refuge in Lin Jianyue's men, Xu Ke also called to persuade him, but he didn't expect that he would become Lin Jianyue's guest one day, at this time when he saw Huang Baiming, Xu Ke's expression was suddenly a little unnatural.

However, Huang Baiming walked out with a smile, greeted Xu Ke warmly, and joked with him at the end: "It turns out that the important guest Mr. Lin saw was you, I should have knocked on the door and come in if I knew it, and I waited outside for so long." ”

"You came to Mr. Lin for something, right? I won't delay your time, get back together, and we'll have a good talk. Xu Ke didn't plan to stay, so he chatted casually with Huang Baiming and left.

Seeing the elevator door slowly closing, completely blocking his vision, Huang Baiming turned around and looked at Lin Jianyue with a little doubt in his expression.

Since they all met, Lin Jianyue had no intention of concealing it, and said the purpose of Xu Ke's coming to him: "Xu Ke has a movie in his hand and wants me to invest in him." ”

Huang Baiming didn't say anything, but he was surprised in his heart, as a representative of the new martial arts movie, Xu Ke is going to film now, and there are many people who are willing to invest in him, why did he come to Lin Jianyue, who had not been very optimistic about him before, to cooperate.

"Mr. Huang, you and Xu Ke are also acquaintances, what do you think about this?"

"There's something strange about this." Huang Baiming told the truth.

Lin Jianyue turned his head and looked at Huang Baiming, "Why would Mr. Huang say that?" ”

Huang Baiming was slightly stunned, only then did he realize that he had accidentally wrapped himself in, in front of Lin Jianyue, he couldn't tell Lin Jianyue everything Xu Keqian said, right?

"Xu Ke and Lin Youlun have a good relationship, and I haven't heard of any discord between the two recently, it stands to reason that Xu Ke wants to make any movie, he should go to Lin Youlun."

Huang Baiming was in a hurry and pulled the topic to Lin Youlun, and after Lin Jianyue heard it, he nodded with satisfaction.

He asked Huang Baiming this, originally to test Huang Baiming's position, and now it seems that Huang Baiming knows very well which side he should be on.

"Xu Ke got the film adaptation rights of "Zhu Xian", and I hope I can invest in and support him to shoot this movie." On the way back to the office, Lin Jianyue briefly explained Xu Ke's intention.

"Lin Youlun's novel, why doesn't he invest in it?" Huang Baiming got to the point in one sentence.

"Xu Ke said that it would take at least 100 million Hong Kong dollars to make this movie, but the idea was not supported by Lin Youlun, so he came to me." Lin Jianyue explained lightly.

"In other words, he came to Mr. Lin, and Lin Youlun knows the Tao over there?" Huang Baiming asked tentatively.

"If Lin Youlun doesn't agree, do you think he dares to come and contact me?" Lin Jianyue laughed self-deprecatingly.

Huang Baiming can understand Xu Ke's thoughts very well, even if he is not cautious when cooperating with Lin Jianyue, for fear of making Lin Youlun unhappy, and he will not be able to gain a foothold in the Hong Kong film industry in the end.

Lin Youlun controls the only cinema chain in Hong Kong, which is equivalent to choking the throat of all filmmakers, with the defeat of Xinbao Cinema Line, the interests of Jiayi Cinema Line have been very stable.

In the final analysis, the Hong Kong market is too small, and a cinema chain can already fully meet the market demand, and the filmmakers who have come over from the period of the three major cinema chains have profited from this monopoly interest pattern, and the further they go, the more difficult it is to change this pattern, which is why Lin Jianyue has done everything possible to enter the board of directors of Jiayi.

Without the identity of this level of director, it is estimated that no one would dare to help Media Asia play.

"Could this be a bureau?" Huang Baiming expressed his judgment.

"Lin Youlun directly stated his attitude, in fact, he wanted to force me into the game."

Lin Jianyue sighed softly, he didn't see the limitations of the Xianxia theme, and he also knew that Lu Dao invested a lot of money to support Xu Ke to shoot this movie, and it was very likely that he would lose money, but Xu Ke's idea made him very excited.

Xu Ke wants to make this film a technical benchmark for oriental special effects films, and if his goal is really achieved, it will be a huge boost to the development of Media Asia. Even if the film fails to recoup its cost after the worst of the time, it can gain great fame.

Media Asia is not short of money now, what is lacking is fame, and if you have fame and are willing to spend money, there will naturally be people who are willing to take refuge in it, which is the opportunity for Media Asia to develop and grow.

Lin Youlun used an upright yang strategy this time, even if Lin Jianyue saw that this would be a big pit, he still couldn't help but want to jump in.

This is a gamble, the only regret is that Lin Youlun is a banker, so no matter whether Lin Jianyue wins or loses the bet, there is no loss for Lin Youlun.

Huang Baiming was also taken aback when he heard that Xu Ke was going to use 100 million Hong Kong dollars to make a movie, he thought that since Lin Jianyue saw through Lin Youlun's intentions, he would definitely not cooperate with Xu Ke, but he didn't expect Lin Jianyue to directly ask about his opinion of Xu Ke.

For Lin Jianyue, the key to this gamble is whether Xu Ke can make this movie with the effect he said, Lin Jianyue doesn't know much about Xu Ke, so he naturally thought of learning more through Huang Baiming.

Huang Baiming is embarrassed, he knows that his words are likely to play a key role in Lin Jianyue's decision, standing in the position of a friend, he should help Xu Ke say good things, but from his own position, he has to think about it, if he helps Xu Ke say good things, the movie will be smashed in the end, Lin Jianyue will blame him for all this.

After the worst, Huang Baiming still closed the mud, praised Xu Ke twice, and at the same time said some of Xu Ke's shortcomings.

"Xu Ke's idea is very advanced, but sometimes this is not necessarily a good thing, just take the "New Shu Mountain Swordsman" he helped Golden Harvest shoot, the special effects were definitely first-class in Hong Kong at that time, and the film critics praised it, but the audience just didn't buy it, in this matter, I think Mr. Lin should still be cautious."
