Chapter 927: Nanshan Cinema [Four Watches]
A week after the release of "I Know a Woman's Heart", Huang Licheng and Lin Youlun met again in their old place.
Lin Youlun fulfilled his promise to Huang Licheng, and Huang Licheng of course wanted to repay the favor to show his gratitude.
"Mr. Lin, the central government's approval for your plan to build a film and television base in Pengcheng has been officially issued, and if you have time during this time, you can personally go to the opposite side to contact the local government to discuss the location of the film and television base."
Lin Youlun has been on this news all along, and when he heard Huang Licheng's words, he finally put a worry on his mind.
The construction of the film and television base can only build a basic framework in one or two years, and if it is to be fully completed and put into use before the return, the time is indeed a little tight for Lin Youlun.
Even Lin Youlun couldn't wait, and Jiahe, who was about to be taken back by the government after the return, couldn't wait, so two days after getting the letter, Lin Youlun set off to Pengcheng for a field trip.
In charge of receiving Lin Youlun was a deputy mayor of Pengcheng, and at the symposium, the deputy mayor pointed to the map of Pengcheng and provided Lin Youlun with two movie park locations.
These two sites are exactly one east and one west, and the east is adjacent to the deep. Nanshan in Zhenwan, and Nanao across the sea from Hong Kong to the west.
The two addresses drawn by Pengcheng are also beneficial, Nanshan is close to Shekou Port, and the transportation to and from Hong Kong is very convenient, which is also in line with Lin Youlun's concept of selecting a site nearby, if the film and television base is built here, the idea of filming in the mainland during the day and returning to Hong Kong to rest at night can be completely realized.
Nanao does not have convenient transportation, but because it is far away from the central urban area of Pengcheng. The price of land is low, and it will be relatively easy to get land.
Lin Youlun did not make a decision on the spot, but proposed to go back to Hong Kong to discuss it with several investors.
The Peninsula Hotel Cafe. Lin Youlun, Zou Wenhuai, and Shao Yifu got together very rarely.
Although he was dissatisfied with Shao Yifu's behavior of stepping in, Lin Youlun's vision for Pengcheng Film and Television Base was very ambitious, and although Jiahe was not short of money, it also had to consider the pressure on funds.
The Shaw Brothers joined in, but it could relieve some of the pressure on Golden Harvest, and the studio was dominated by Lin Youlun, and Zou Wenhuai was excluded by the Shaw Brothers after the completion of the studio.
What really made Zou Wenhuai feel vigilant. Or recently, Shaw Brothers has a series of layouts for the Hong Kong film market, and after winning 5% of the equity of Li Xinti, Shaw Brothers' shareholding in Jiayi Cinema Line has reached 15%. In the future, Lin Youlun will also transfer part of his equity to Shaw Brothers, which means that Shaw Brothers will also hold 22.5% of the equity of Jiayi Cinema Line like Golden Harvest, so that the two companies will return to the same running line.
Shao Yifu is determined to revive the Shaw Brothers, and will inevitably have a dragon and tiger battle with Golden Harvest in the future. Although Zou Wenhuai is not afraid. But it also has to be treated with caution.
Although Lin Youlun invited Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai this time to discuss the matter of cooperating in investing in Pengcheng Film and Television Base, the two have always been inseparable from each other since they met, and there were serious differences in the choice of film and television bases.
Zou Wenhuai strongly built the film and television base in Nanshan, the reason is that the transportation is convenient; Shao Yifu believes that the film and television base should be built in South Australia, because it is relatively easy to develop at a low price.
Lin Youlun also hesitated between the two sites, and this meeting did not reach any consensus in the end.
In the evening, Lin Youlun went to Zhong Chuhong to visit his daughter Honghong, who was almost two years old. As soon as the little guy saw Lin Youlun, he asked his father to hug him, and he was tired of being in Lin Youlun's arms and refused to come out even when he was eating dinner. Even the rice was fed to her by Lin Youlun one bite at a time.
Zhong Chuhong gently pinched her daughter's little face angrily, and complained to Lin Youlun and said: "If you spoil her like this, you will spoil her sooner or later in the future!" ”
Lin Youlun wiped a tissue on her daughter's mouth, and was going to hand her over to the nanny Wu Ma on the side, but the little guy refused to live or die, so he had to continue to hold her in his arms.
"She's my daughter, who do I spoil if I don't spoil her?" Lin Youlun gently scratched the tip of her daughter's little nose, and the little guy giggled and laughed.
"Your words are the same as Grandma Honghong, she also told me that Honghong is her granddaughter, and she doesn't spoil her, so that now I have become a bad person in the eyes of my daughter." Zhong Chuhong glared at Lin Youlun resentfully.
Lin Youlun held her daughter with one hand and Zhong Chuhong with the other.
"I know it's not easy for you, and I'll try to spend more time with you in the future."
Zhong Chuhong took her daughter from Lin Youlun's arms and kissed her little face.
"Honghong, do you believe Dad's words?"
"I don't believe it." Honghong said in a milky voice, then covered her face with two small hands, turned her head and got into her mother's arms.
"See, even my daughter doesn't believe you." Zhong Chuhong pouted to Lin Youlun Nunu proudly.
Lin Youlun was originally a little depressed, but when he saw his daughter quietly poking out half of her face from Zhong Chuhong's arms to peek at his cute expression, the unhappiness in her heart suddenly disappeared.
"Come on, Daddy hug another one!"
Lin Youlun clapped his hands at Honghong, and the little guy was immediately ready to break free from Zhong Chuhong's arms, Zhong Chuhong was afraid that she would fall, so he hurriedly held her up.
At this time, assistant Ajie walked in, and when he saw the big brother's mobile phone in his hand, Zhong Chuhong glanced at Lin Youlun helplessly.
"Let me tell you, it's really hard to keep your promise." Zhong Chuhong said so, but she did not prevent Lin Youlun from answering the phone, but coaxed her daughter to prevent the little guy from making trouble when Lin Youlun answered the phone.
Lin Youlun smiled apologetically at Zhong Chuhong, then took the phone and walked to the balcony outside, and Ajie also came along.
"Whose phone number?"
"Qiu Degen."
"Qiu Degen?" Lin Youlun asked uncertainly.
Since Lin Baixin joined ATV, I haven't heard this name for a long time.
Although Lin Youlun fought fiercely with Lin Baixin's father and son, he did not have too many contradictions with Qiu Degen.
During Qiu Degen's management of ATV, Lin Youlun served as the chief judge of the first Miss Asia beauty pageant, and after that, he also sold the copyright of the TV series adaptation of "Sou Shen Ji" to Qiu Degen, and the two still have a bit of friendship.
It's just that Lin Youlun can't figure it out, what is Qiu Degen looking for himself at this time?
With this doubt, Lin Youlun answered Qiu Degen's phone.
"Mr. Lin, I didn't expect me to call you, right?" Although Qiu Degen is in his seventies, his voice still sounds full of energy.
"It's really a bit of an accident, and I ask Boss Qiu to solve my doubts!"
"Mr. Lin doesn't need to be so polite, I came to ask you this time, let's talk openly!" Qiu Degen spoke straightforwardly, but it saved Lin Youlun the strength to speculate on his thoughts.
"Boss Qiu, please speak!"
"I heard that Mr. Lin is going to invest in a film and television base in Pengcheng?"
"It's been so many years since Boss Qiu changed hands to ATV, and he still cares so much about things in the circle?" Lin Youlun asked silently.
Qiu Degen laughed on the other end of the phone.
"Mr. Lin, don't get me wrong, the pool of water in the Hong Kong film and television industry is getting deeper and deeper, I have no intention of getting involved again, I care about this matter purely because of some personal reasons...... Presumably, Mr. Lin also knows that I have always been very interested in tourism real estate investment, and I think we can have a lot of common topics in the matter of Mr. Lin's investment in the film and television base in Pengcheng. ”
In 1979, Qiu Degen invested tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, imitating Bianjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, based on the "Qingming Riverside Map", and built a tourist city covering an area of more than 5,000 square meters in Lai Chi Kok, Kowloon, named "Song City", which has since become a famous scenic spot in Hong Kong, attracting many tourists every year and bringing huge profits to Qiu Degen.
After the success of Songcheng, Qiu Degen invested 500 million Hong Kong dollars in Singapore in the mid-80s to build a Tang City that imitated the social life of the Tang Dynasty, and was successful again, at this time Qiu Degen was already one of the top billionaires in Hong Kong, but his dream of building a city did not end there, with the advancement of the mainland's reform and opening up, he was ambitious to build a new "Song City" in the mainland, and chose the location in Hangzhou, but for various reasons, this plan has not been approved by the mainland government.
As early as the 80s, he invested in the construction of a flour mill covering an area of 17,000 square meters in the Shekou Industrial Zone, and later invested in the hotel industry in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, developing tourism in the mainland, and in 1985 he sold a 25% stake in the family-controlled Far Eastern Bank to Huamei International Co., Ltd., a Chinese-backed company, in order to strengthen business ties with the mainland.
But I don't know what the reason is, his idea of building a tourist city in the mainland has not been realized, and this time I heard that Lin Youlun has won the support of the mainland government and is ready to build a large-scale film and television base in Pengcheng, Qiu Degen's heart immediately became active, and he also wanted to insert a foot in it.
"Boss Qiu, I know what you mean, but there is one thing I need to make clear, the film and television base built in Pengcheng was mainly to meet the daily shooting activities transferred from Hong Kong in the early stage, and the development of tourism may not be considered until the scale of the film and television base is further expanded."
"Mr. Lin, in fact, we can consider this problem more flexibly, the entire film and television base can be divided into two parts to build, one is built into a shooting functional area, and the other is built into a tourism area, so that they are separated from each other from the beginning, and they will not interfere with each other.
I have to say that Lin Youlun was indeed a little moved by Qiu Degen's suggestion.
In later generations, many film and television cities were integrating film and television production and tourism, and Qiu Degen was able to give birth to such a vision at this time, which can be regarded as a good partner for cooperation. (To be continued......)
