Chapter 302: Perseverance
"As long as it can promote the prosperity and development of the Hong Kong film industry, I welcome any company to join in - Mr. Lam said this in front of the media, why is he going back on his word now?" Lin Jianyue slapped the newspaper in his hand on the table, and his eyes swept over the faces of the nine directors attending the board meeting, and finally fixed on the faces of Li Zhi and Shum Jianxun.
Li Zhi has always played the role of Lin Youlun's spokesperson in the Jiayi board of directors, and Cen Jianxun is the general manager of Jiayi United Cinema Line, Jiayi has a total of eleven seats on the board of directors, and Lin Youlun's people alone account for seven seats.
"Crazy Stone" is under intense filming, and Lin Youlun himself did not come to today's board of directors, so Lin Jianyue can only ask Li Zhi and Shum Jianxun for an explanation.
Just yesterday, Mecca, the veteran of the new art city, suddenly asked the Lai Sun Group to withdraw its shares, and Lin Jianyue, who originally wanted to reorganize the new art city first, wait for the establishment of the new company and then go back to appease the old ministers, was caught off guard.
Mecca had already made up his mind to leave the new art city and go it alone, but Lin Jianyue's persuasion was fruitless, so he issued a message to ban Mecca's film company, but the confidence of his threat came from the 5% stake in Jiayi Cinema Line held by Lai Sun Group.
Lin Jianyue felt that Mecca's behavior of setting up a separate mountain had damaged his own interests, so in his capacity as a director of Jiayi, he asked the board of directors to prohibit the films of Mecca's newly established film company from being screened in Jiayi Cinemas.
In fact, Lin Jianyue also knows that his board of directors of Jiayi is alone, and it is unlikely that Lai Sun Group's shareholding in Jiayi alone will persuade the board of directors to block a film company. He dared to do it. Mainly because of Mecca's special status.
The scenery of the new art city in those years. has offended many people in the film industry, Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers have teamed up to suppress the new art city, in the past, the new art city had the golden princess behind her back, and she could have no scruples, but now the golden princess has fully withdrawn from the film industry, and the lifeblood of Mecca's new company is completely pinched in the hands of Jiayi Cinema, Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers should not let go of this opportunity to suppress old opponents; Second, even if Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers do not support it, they can also take this opportunity to test the attitude of all parties on the board of directors.
Of course, even Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest supported Lin Jianyue's proposal. The decision on this matter is still in the hands of Lin Youlun. Lin Jianyue's plan is: if the three parties join forces to force Lin Youlun to agree, of course, it is best; Lin Youlun must support Mecca, Shaw Brothers and Jiahe will definitely have ideas, and Lin Jianyue can take the opportunity to divide and win over.
The former is a big blow to Lin Youlun's prestige on the board of directors, and the latter will make Lin Youlun fall into a situation of detachment from morality on the board of directors.
Lin Jianyue calculated well, but the actual situation was not as optimistic as he imagined.
When the proposal to shut down the new company in Mecca was proposed, the reaction of board members was mixed: the directors of Shaw Brothers did not say a word; On Jiahe's side, He Guanchang was reading a document in his hand, while the other director lowered his head and did not express any opinions.
On other occasions, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest might have really joined forces to build Mecca once. However, on the board of directors of Jiayi, the interests of the two are basically the same as Lin Youlun.
After the integration of Jiayi Cinema Line in Hong Kong. The pattern of interests in the Hong Kong film industry has changed from the previous vicious competition to grab the cake to now sit calmly and everyone share the cake together, as the cake is constantly expanded, the interests distributed to each family are also increasing, and now everyone is basically accustomed to this way of distributing interests, Mecca's new film company joins in, and the cake in the hands of others will not necessarily decrease, and the hatred between each other is naturally not as big as before.
In the past two years, Shao Yifu has completely shifted his career focus to television, and the film side only invests in a few big productions every year, and more than half of them are cooperating with Lin Youlun, so although the directors who represent Shaw Brothers in Jiayi have never been absent from board meetings, they have never had a sense of existence.
And Golden Harvest now basically maintains the frequency of cooperating with Lin Youlun one or two movies a year, on the surface, the number is not much, but in fact, the movies cooperated by Golden Harvest and Lin Youlun are basically high-investment and large-scale films, and smashing one will make Golden Harvest hurt their muscles and bones, and if it is made, it will definitely become Golden Harvest's main profit this year, so in the board of directors of Jiayi Cinemas, Golden Harvest has always been very cooperative with Lin Youlun.
Lin Youlun's control over the board of directors of Jiayi Cinema Line is stronger than Lin Jianyue imagined, and in his own absence, he can keep Shaw Brothers and Jiahe silent, in the face of such a situation, Lin Jianyue already feels that nothing can be done, and he can't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
At this time, Shum Jianxun finally spoke: "Mr. Lin, from the perspective of cinema management, we and the film company are actually interdependent, and we have always maintained a good cooperative relationship with all the film companies in Hong Kong, and there has never been a precedent for banning a certain film company, so it is difficult for me to agree with your proposal." ”
Lin Jianyue snorted coldly in his nostrils, with a noncommittal expression on his face.
Li Zhi put the pen in his hand on the folder, "Everyone has their own considerations, Manager Cen and Mr. Lin don't have to fight, let's raise your hands to vote!" ”
The result of the vote was no different from what Lin Jianyue thought, he was the only one who was in favor of Lam's proposal, while six people were in favor of Shum's opinion, the directors of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest were neutral, and Lim's proposal to ban Mecca New Film Company was rejected by the board of directors on the spot.
——
Although Lin Youlun is busy making movies, he can't ignore such a big matter as Jiayi's board meeting.
In the evening, when he came to the mansion on Brigon Street, Li Zhi had just come back from outside, and when they met, he said to Lin Youlun: "The situation on the board of directors today is similar to what you expected, but Lin Jianyue did not slam the door on the spot, are you very disappointed?" ”
Lin Youlun patted the sofa beside him and motioned for Lizhi to sit down and talk.
"Lin Jianyue was not angry, which shows that he had expected such a result."
Li Zhi sat over, kicked off the high heels on his feet, crossed his legs on the coffee table, and asked puzzledly: "Zhilu Dao turned out to be boring to himself?" ”
Lizhi didn't have time to change her clothes, knee-length skirt and meat after returning home. The colored stockings stretched his legs to the extreme, Lin Youlun directly put his hand on it, and explored under the skirt dishonestly, while talking to Li Zhi seriously: "Lin Jianyue knows that I will definitely support Mecca, so I should want to use this matter to test the reaction of all parties on the board." ”
A slight flush appeared on Lizhi's cheeks, and Lin Youlun took his finger and gently stroked her inner thigh. It's already spring in my eyes. Sentimental. Ripple. Lin Youlun came to grab her hand, and she leaned over half-pushing. Reaching out from Lin Youlun's waist again, his slender and smooth fingers circled the straight and erect head, and slapped it twice. See Lin Youlun's clear eye color. With anxious eyes, he sneered and said, "There are so many women around you, and you still want to beat my idea?" ”
Lin Youlun was lured out of desire by Lizhi. Nian, reaching into the whole group of her girdles, touching her tender plump buttocks, about to pounce on her soft lips.
The sound of footsteps coming from the stairs brings love in the living room. The men and women who were thinking about it woke up together, Li Zhi took her hand out of Lin Youlun's trouser pocket, and then pushed Lin Youlun's hand into her skirt away, and quickly tidied up the messy dress, and when she turned around, Gong Li had already appeared at the staircase.
Seeing the two high heels lying on the ground next to the sofa, I was looking at the spring on Lizhi's face that had not dispersed. Love, Gong Li immediately realized that it was not a good time for her to come down, and hurriedly wanted to turn back, but she stopped Lizhi.
"There's no water upstairs, I'll come down and drink water." Gong Li found a very lame reason.
"Didn't you say yesterday that you had something to discuss with him? I'll go up and change my clothes, you guys talk first! Lizhi pressed Gong Li to the sofa and sat down, but she found a reason to go upstairs.
"What's the matter with you looking for me in such a hurry?" Lin Youlun tilted his head slightly, and the end of his nose could smell the not very obvious but lingering fragrance on Gong Li's body, and he had been in Hong Kong for less than half a year, and he had already integrated into the current fashion trend very well.
Lin Youlun is probably one of the most powerful men in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, the longer she stays in Hong Kong, the deeper Gong Li's understanding of this, in front of Lin Youlun, she really doesn't have much confidence.
Gong Li sat with her legs crossed, thinking of what Lin Youlun and Lizhi were doing in the living room just now, she had a ridiculous picture in her mind that night when she peeked in outside the door of Lizhi's bedroom, and there was an itchy feeling between her legs, which made her feel more and more embarrassed, so she had to move her body straight, and her legs were overlapped in alternate positions.
Lin Youlun's eyes were sharp and clear, as if he had seen people's hearts thoroughly, and Gong Li's crampedness all fell into his eyes, and he didn't feel a little doubtful in his heart.
After an awkward moment of silence, Gong Li finally spoke.
"The director Zhang Yimou you met when you took me to Jiuzhaigou last time came to Hong Kong to see me a week ago, and he called me again yesterday, still hoping that I could play the heroine in his film......"
"So you're hesitant to go?" Lin Youlun immediately understood what Gong Li meant.
Gong Li raised her head and glanced at Lin Youlun, "I want to hear your opinion." ”
Zhang Yimou's dedication to inviting Gong Li to star in "Red Sorghum" was beyond Lin Youlun's expectations, and although Gong Li had agreed to Hu Jinquan to star in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Hu Jinquan had a strong interest in the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers in the mainland after watching "The Heroes of the Storm" some time ago, and he postponed the filming date of the film for half a year, and he took two assistants to the mainland to find a suitable filming location. Lin Youlun is willing to do this favor.
"Since Director Zhang is so insistent, I think you can give it a try."
