Knowing that Zou Wenhuai was visiting, Lin Youlun personally came to the door of the office to greet him.

"Mr. Zou, you're a rare guest!"

"Lin Sheng, is this my fault for not having much contact with you before?"

"Mr. Zou must not say that, he should have visited you from time to time, but he has been entangled in all things recently and can't spare time, and I hope Mr. Zou will not be surprised."

"Lin Sheng is too polite."

After greetings, Lin Youlun made a gesture of invitation to the office.

When he came to the rest area and sat down on the sofa, Zou Wenhuai didn't go around the corner, and directly explained his intention.

"I came to Lin Sheng this time, mainly for the land in Tseung Kwan O that has been specially approved by the government for the film and television industry."

Lin Youlun put down the coffee in his hand with a surprised expression.

"Why, Jiahe is also interested in that piece of land?"

As soon as Zou Wenhuai heard the word "also", he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and he was too busy to drink coffee, so he hurriedly asked: "Has anyone else talked to Lin Sheng about that piece of land?" ”

Lin Youlun shrugged, and he didn't mean to hide it from Zou Wenhuai.

"Wang Jing came to me at a good time yesterday afternoon, saying that Uncle Sixth was discussing with him, hoping that his film company could join forces with Shaw Brothers to participate in the bidding for that land."

Although Zou Wenhuai's heart was already in turmoil, he still maintained his composure.

"What does Lin Sheng mean?"

"I persuaded him to give up."

Lin Youlun's answer made Zou Wenhuai stunned, but he was glad and happy, but he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, reasoning that even if Lin Youlun did not support Wang Jing and the Shaw Brothers' union, he should not oppose it explicitly.

But no matter what Lin Youlun's purpose is. This is a good thing for Zou Wenhuai, and for the purpose of this trip. Zou Wenhuai naturally felt a little more sure in his heart.

"Shaw Brothers has Clear Water Bay Cinema, even if TVB changes hands in the future. Shaw Brothers can also negotiate to continue to use the facilities over there, but Golden Harvest is different, Lin Sheng, you should also know that after the return of the Busan Road studio, it will be taken back by the government, and Golden Harvest will face the embarrassing situation of having nowhere to film in a few years, and the land in Tseung Kwan O is also our multi-faceted struggle, and the Hong Kong government has agreed to allocate it Now there should be no film company in Hong Kong that needs that land more than Golden Harvest, so in this matter. I hope that Lin Sheng will give Golden Harvest more convenience, and even we Golden Harvest are willing to work with Lin Sheng to develop that land. ”

Zou Wenhuai was able to offer such conditions, which can be said to be very sincere, but Lin Youlun shook his head after hearing this.

"Personally, I don't approve of Shaw Brothers joining other film companies to bid for that piece of land, and of course I don't want Golden Harvest to participate in the competition for that piece of land.

Zou Wenhuai had thought of countless possibilities before coming, but he didn't expect that Lin Youlun was actually interested in that piece of land, and announced it without any discussion. He has already taken a fancy to that piece of land, and no one else is allowed to touch it.

"Before the merger of the three major cinema chains, Lin Sheng made a promise not to set up a film company, and the land in Tseung Kwan O was specially approved by the Hong Kong government. It can only be used to build a cinema...... Unless Lin Sheng is ready to break the agreement of the year, I really don't know what the meaning of the piece of Lu Dao will be in Lin Sheng's hands. ”

At that time, Lin Youlun promised not to directly establish a film company, which led to the merger of the three major cinema chains. Zou Wenhuai mentioned this matter at this time, just to test Lin Youlun's true purpose. I didn't really want to use this matter to blackmail Lin Youlun.

Zou Wenhuai knew very well in his heart that the promise of the year did not have much constraint on Lin Youlun today. If Mr. Lam really wanted to set up a film company in Hong Kong, an outdated convention wouldn't do anything at all.

"The land in Tseung Kwan O will become the new headquarters of Aurora in the future...... When I say that, Mr. Zou should understand what I mean, right? ”

After Lin Youlun finished speaking, Zou Wenhuai was silent.

Now Hong Kong movies involve some large-scale special effects production, many of which have to be filmed in the United States, the reason is that Hong Kong has always lacked a large enough studio, and the accumulation of Aurora's special effects technology is not inferior to Hollywood's industrial light and magic, but because of this problem, it is stuck in the neck, which is definitely not what Lin Youlun wants to see.

Lin Youlun wants to build a large-scale special effects studio in Tseung Kwan O to facilitate Hong Kong's big-budget films in the future, and it stands to reason that Jiayi is also a beneficiary, but Zou Wenhuai is not happy at all at the moment.

Tseung Kwan O was occupied by Lin Youlun, and after the lease of the Axe Hill Road studio expired, where should Golden Harvest go to get land to build its own film and television base?

In a place like Hong Kong, where every inch of land is valuable, it is definitely impossible for the Hong Kong government to approve another piece of land to build a studio for Golden Harvest, and the cost of buying land by itself is too high, which makes it difficult for Zou Wenhuai.

"I also know the situation of Golden Harvest, and Mr. Zou doesn't have to be embarrassed about it. Hong Kong can't get land, Golden Harvest can consider taking land from outside Hong Kong to build its own studio, such as Pengcheng on the other side. ”

Hearing this, Zou Wenhuai raised his head suddenly, stared at Lin Youlun for a long time, and then suddenly laughed.

"The land in Tseung Kwan O is just a reason, going to the mainland to build a studio is what Lin Sheng really wants to tell me today, right?"

Lin Youlun pursed his lips and did not deny this, and at the same time told Zou Wenhuai an even more shocking news.

"After the handover, most of the studios in Clear Water Bay Cinema will gradually be relocated to the mainland, and some of the remaining facilities will be rebuilt on the original basis as the second phase of the Tseung Kwan O special effects film and television production base."

The property rights of Clear Water Bay Cinema belong to TVB, and Lin Youlun said such things before he became the owner of TVB, obviously regarding TVB as his own bag.

Of course, what surprised Zou Wenhuai was Lin Youlun's idea for the layout of the Hong Kong film industry in the future, outside shooting and ordinary studio shooting were transferred to the mainland, and Hong Kong only left the special effects production department with the highest technical content and the most critical and expensive in the entire film production, which not only ensured that its most core competitiveness of technical advantages would not be lost, but also reduced the cost of ordinary shooting.

Not to mention anything else, building a film and television base on the mainland side can save a lot of money on land costs alone, and with the mainland's salary level being far lower than that of Hong Kong, the price of human resources for film and television bases in the later stage will also be much lower.

The only question is how to ensure that the relevant film and television crews and actors can travel between the two places efficiently.

The film and television base is built in Pengcheng, the problem of distance can be solved, but customs clearance is a troublesome thing, even after the return of Hong Kong, it is impossible for the two places to achieve complete communication immediately, which has caused great trouble to personnel exchanges.

"I have already considered this problem, and I think I can follow up on the opportunity to invest in the construction of a film and television base in Pengcheng, and apply to the central government to open a special channel, and qualified personnel can achieve simplified or barrier-free customs clearance, so that all the problems will be solved."

Lin Youlun made his own plan and revealed it, and Zou Wenhuai realized that he had already considered it very maturely in this matter, and even when Jiahe came in, it was already in this plan.

Out of prudence, Zou Wenhuai did not immediately agree to Lin Youlun's proposal.

"Mr. Zou, investing in the construction of film and television bases in the mainland can not only help us maintain our core competitiveness and reduce shooting costs, but more importantly, we can rely on the film and television bases in the mainland to seek more cooperation with the mainland...... In my opinion, the mainland's market potential in film and television is currently less than one-tenth, and this one-tenth of the market is much larger than the Hong Kong market, the sooner you enter, the greater the profit in the future, and when the mainland market is fully mature, you will have no place left for you! ”

After listening to Lin Youlun's words, Zou Wenhuai was indeed moved, but the real reason why he decided to cooperate with Lin Youlun was not this, but that Lin Youlun had actually blocked all his retreats before he said this.

If Golden Harvest does not invest in the film and television base in the mainland with Lin Youlun, as soon as the lease of the Axe Mountain Road studio expires, Golden Harvest will face the embarrassing situation of having no place to film.

With reality in front of him, Zou Wenhuai has no more choice.

"What! Wang Jing, he didn't agree? ”

When Fang Yihua heard the news, she was about to hand tea to Shao Yifu, her hands trembled, and she almost spilled the tea on the carpet.

"I just called him." Shao Yifu looked a little tired, after hearing about Lin Youlun's idea of the land in Tseung Kwan O from Wang Jing, he could only reluctantly give up the idea of bidding for that land like Zou Wenhuai, firstly, because he did not want to stiffen the relationship with Lin Youlun, and secondly, Lin Youlun was also quite inspired by the layout of the future film industry.

Fang Yihua didn't know the inside story of Lu Dao, Wang Jing was so faceless, which made her very angry.

"If it wasn't for the cultivation of the Shaw Brothers back then, he and his father wouldn't know what Lu Dao was doing now, but now his wings are stiff, and there are people behind him to support him, and he doesn't even care about you...... If I call and ask Wang Tianlin, he has given birth to a good son! ”

"Okay, this matter has nothing to do with Wang Jing, the reason why he didn't agree to me is because Lin Sheng is also interested in the land in Tseung Kwan O and is ready to buy it and convert it into a new special effects photography base."

Shao Yifu explained this, Fang Yihua realized that she had wronged Wang Jing, but these were not what she cared about, and what she cared about most now was what Lin Youlun's purpose was for so much.

"Lin Sheng's game of chess is very big, if he hadn't let Wang Jing tell me directly, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see his true purpose for a while."

When it comes to the pattern of vision, basically no one in the Hong Kong film industry can compare with Lin Youlun, which has been proven a long time ago, Shao Yifu is just sighing at the moment, but Fang Yihua is more and more confused the more he listens. (To be continued......)
