Chapter 5 Film Companies

On March 8, at seven o'clock in the morning, Kowloon, in front of Duan Hu's film company.

At this moment, Duan Hu is constantly dealing with various media reporters from Xiangjiang. And around them are some big names in the entertainment industry who arrived early.

"Mr. Duan, why did you return to Xiangjiang to establish your own cinema chain and film company when Hollywood was developing in its prime? In front of the film company, a reporter asked Duan Hu.

"Because I am a Xiangjiang person, my roots are here, no matter how well I develop outside, I feel like I am drifting on the sea, with no place to return. Duan Hu said with some embarrassment.

"Mr. Duan Hu, which one do you think is better than the Xiangjiang movie and the Hollywood movie?" Another reporter asked Duan Hu.

Duan Hu thought for a moment and said, "I think that both Xiangjiang movies and Hao Laiwu movies have their advantages. But if I have to say one, I think Xiangjiang's film system should learn from Hao Laiwu.

This is indeed the case, why did Xiangjiang movies decline in the previous life? In Duan Hu's view, in addition to the general environmental factors, it is more of a system problem, if the filmmakers in Xiangjiang can really do the same as Hollywood's side, will it still decline? People's favors, favors, money, money, money, Xiangjiang filmmakers pay too much attention to these, if there is a system and the constraints of the system, will there still be countless follow-up films? Will there still be those who spoil the movie? …… Of course, the most important thing is the heart of Xiangjiang filmmakers, just like Zhou Xingchi, why can he still be a box office hit when Xiangjiang movies are declining? Because of his heart for movies, because he is serious.

………

With the passage of time, more and more guests came, and Duan Hu could only be busy dealing with reporters while busy greeting guests, of course, most of the guests were actually greeted by the company's senior management. When the last time was approaching eight o'clock, the two most powerful tycoons in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, Zou Wenbad and Shao Yifu, also arrived with their wives and lovers.

At eight o'clock, the ribbon cutting began, the cards were opened, and the film company and eighteen theaters acquired by Duan Hu were officially renamed and established, called Huaxia Film Company and Huaxia Cinema Line.

After the ribbon cutting, Duan Hu invited many guest reporters to participate in the celebration reception.

Although I really wanted to take advantage of this drinking party to dig up some talents, unfortunately, I really couldn't do it, and Duan Hu didn't be able to dig a few until the end of the drinking party.

…………

The day after the company was officially renamed, Duan Hu held a high-level meeting of the company.

During the meeting, Duan Hu said: "Manager Li, starting tomorrow, our company's theaters are prohibited from playing any romance movies.

"Boss, if these movies are not played, our company's theater chain will enter a state of loss every day!" Manager Li persuaded when he heard this.

"You don't have to worry about this, this situation will naturally change when the company has its own film; The most important thing now is to establish our company's brand. Launched our company's reputation as a cinema chain. Duan Hu said disapprenously.

Next, Duan Hu continued to discuss the development of the theater chain and the film company with the company's senior management before ending the meeting.

After finishing the company meeting and inspecting the film company, Duan Hu left with his secretary.

Then, the two of them took a car to a jewelry store, looked at the jewelry store in front of them, and the secretary Zhang Xin said to Duan Hu: "Boss, the Zhong Chuhong you asked me to find works in this jewelry store."

Duan Hu nodded and said, "Xiaomeng, you did a good job, if you can recruit it into the company, you should be credited."

With that, the two walked into the jewelry store.

After carefully scanning the employees in the jewelry store, Duan Hu quickly saw his target, Zhong Chuhong. Speaking of which, Zhong Chuhong at this time had just turned eighteen years old, and he had been working in middle school for half a year, although he was relatively mature, he was still a lot immature compared to the impression in Duan Hu's memory.

After casually strolling around the jewelry store, Duan Hu came to Zhong Chuhong and said, "Miss Zhong, hello, I am the boss of Huaxia Film Company, Duan Hu."

"Ahh Listening to Duan Hu's words, Zhong Chuhong was a little surprised, and he didn't know what the big boss Duan of Xiangjiang was looking for him to do recently, but after reacting, Zhong Chuhong still smiled politely and said, "Hello, Mr. Duan, I don't know what can serve you?"

Duan Hu scorched his words for a moment and said, "That's the case, Miss Zhong, we think that your appearance and temperament are very suitable for making movies, so we want to invite you to make movies, and at the same time sign you into our film company as our company's focus on cultivating artists."

"Ahh This one.... Zhong Chuhong didn't expect this kind of thing, and was stunned for a while, not knowing what to say.

Seeing this, Duan Hu continued: "Miss Zhong, as long as you sign up for my film company, in addition to having a fixed salary every month, you will also have a salary and dividends during filming, which is definitely better than you being a salesperson here, and I can guarantee that the company will focus on cultivating you and cultivating you to become the most popular actress in Xiangjiang." When the time comes, Miss Zhong will be able to earn tens or millions of dollars in a movie, wouldn't it be a thousand times worse than this?

"This..."'s mind was racing rapidly, Zhong Chuhong couldn't make up his mind for a while, he didn't know what to do, and finally had to say: "Mr. Duan, can I go home and discuss this matter with my parents?"

Hearing this, Duan Hu knew that there was a good chance that things could be done, so he smiled and said, "This is as it should be, Miss Zhong, this is my business card, it has my company's phone number and the company's address on it, after you discuss it with your parents, come to our company to sign a contract according to the address."

"Mr. Duan is about the same age as me, but now he is the owner of a film company and a movie theater chain, which is amazing. Moreover, Mr. Duan is very polite. Looking at the back of Duan Hu leaving, Zhong Chuhong thought a little cranky in his heart.

Just when Zhong Chuhong was in a trance, several employees of the jewelry store ran to her side and shouted in surprise: "Wow, Ah Hong, that is Mr. Duan Huduan, the owner of Huaxia Film Company just now, what did he just tell you?"

"Yes, yes, Ah Hong, did Boss Duan come to you to make a movie?

Speaking of which, Duan Hu's current fame in Xiangjiang is also very big, no worse than those popular stars, and because he has been interviewed several times, his photos have also been published in the newspaper several times, so there are many people who can recognize him.

After leaving the jewelry store, Duan Hu followed his secretary Zhang Xin towards his second goal today.

"Boss, this house is Miss Zhao Yazhi's home." In front of a new three-story building, Zhang Xin said to Duan Hu.

"Oh." Ding-dong, ding-dong. Duan Hu answered, and stepped forward to ring the doorbell. Zhao Yazhi is twenty-four years old this year, married to a wife, but in 1975, she has been in the entertainment industry for three years, and has served as the heroine of several blockbuster movies in a row, which can be regarded as quite famous at this time. At the same time, Duan Hu knew from his memory that this year, Zhao Yazhi would personally invest in and star in a movie called "Vortex".

After a burst of footsteps inside the door, a woman in her forties opened the door and saw Duan Hu through the protective door, feeling a little familiar, but she couldn't remember it, so she asked, "Hello, this gentleman, may I ask who you are?"

Auntie, hello, I'm the boss of Huaxia Film Company, Duan Hu, I'm here to find Miss Zhao today, don't you know if she's at home? Hearing the question, Duan Hu smiled and said.

When the woman heard this, she immediately remembered who the person in front of her was, and immediately said, "Ah, I'm really sorry, Mr. Duan, I didn't recognize you for a while, Ah Zhi is at home, please come in." As he spoke, he opened the protective door and let Duan Hu into the house.

"Ah Zhi, Mr. Duan of Huaxia Film Company is looking for you." After entering the house, the woman poured a cup of tea for Duan Hu and the others, and then went upstairs and shouted at the same time.

Zhao Ya went downstairs, saw Duan Hu, and immediately said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Duan, last time you invited me to attend the establishment ceremony of your company, I didn't go because of something." This time, I'm tired of you visiting in person.

"It's okay, Miss Zhao, people always have busy times." Seeing Zhao Yazhi wearing home clothes and being delicate and plump, Duan Hu's eyes suddenly lit up, although Zhao Yazhi was married to a wife and gave birth to two children at this time, but it did not bring distortion to her figure, on the contrary, because she was the mother of two children, she gave people a sense of maturity and plumpness of a young woman.

"I wonder who Mr. Duan is here?" After greeting each other, Zhao Yazhi asked straight to the point.

Duan Hu gestured to Zhang Xin, took the script in her hand, and handed it to Zhao Yazhi: "That's right, Miss Zhao, I will start filming a new drama in a while, so I want to ask you to be one of the heroines of the film, the nun."

"Oh?" After taking the script, Zhao Yazhi lowered his head and read it seriously.

Sitting opposite Zhao Yazhi, looking at her delicate body, straightening her waist, bowing her head and looking at the script in serious contemplation, Duan Hu's heart suddenly rose a little strange. However, this bit of alien fire was quickly suppressed by him, after all, as a former generation of Transformation Strength Grandmaster, he still had this bit of willpower.

"The boss is really a pervert, hmph, why didn't you find out before? But fortunately, it's not too late to find out. Zhang Xin on the side saw Duan Hu staring at Zhao Yazhi with squinting eyes, and secretly thought to himself.

"Mr. Duan, did you write this script yourself? It's really touching, and I think it's going to be a big hit if it's made into a movie. After reading the script, Zhao Yazhi praised.

"Yes, I wonder if Miss Zhao is interested in taking on this role?" Duan Hu responded with a smile and said.

"Well, yes, the character is very well written, I love it. Zhao Yazhi smiled and agreed.

"It's really good, with Miss Zhao's performance, I think the box office of this movie will definitely rise. Seeing Zhao Yazhi's promise, Duan Hu said happily.

"Mr. Duan, it's too complimentary, but I don't know when Mr. Duan's movie will start?" Zhao Yazhi thought for a while and said.

"It shouldn't take more than ten days, Miss Zhao can just use this time to familiarize herself with the characters of the script." He couldn't be sure when it would turn on, so he had to say so.

"Okay". Zhao Yazhi said.

Next, he chatted with Zhao Yazhi and signed the contract, and Duan Hu and the secretary left.

……

In the evening, Zhong Chuhong returned home and told her parents that Duan Hu was looking for her to make a movie.

Father Zhong listened to Zhong Chuhong's words, and said with some uncertainty: "Ah Hong, do you mean that Duan Hu, the owner of the recently established Huaxia Film Company, personally asked you to make a movie?" Do you want to sign you into his film company and train you vigorously?

"Could he be a liar? Ah Hong, don't be deceived. Although Mother Zhong was a little happy that her daughter was taken care of, she still said with some worry.

Zhong Chuhong heard her parents' words and was worried that they would not agree to make a movie by herself, so she said confidently: "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I saw Mr. Duan's appearance in the newspaper, and my colleagues at that time also recognized him."

"If you really like it and want to make movies, then quit your job at the jewelry store and sign a contract." After thinking about it for a while, Dad Zhong said.

"Hmm". Zhong Chuhong responded.

"Ah Hong, I'll go with you then, so that you don't suffer." Worried that her daughter would suffer, Zhong's mother said.

Sister Zhong Chuhong, who listened to them for a while, immediately jumped up happily and shouted when she heard that her sister was going to make a movie: "Okay, my eldest sister is going to make a movie, and I will be the sister of a big star at that time."

"Me too, me too." Zhong Chuhong's youngest sister also shouted.

Also at night, Duan Hu at this time was sitting at Xu Ke's house with his secretary, drinking the tea that had just been served.

Xu Ke, one of the famous ** tide directors in later generations, is also a world-renowned director. But at this time, he was just a director in TVB.

At this time, facing Duan Hu, a well-known filmmaker, film company, and theater owner, Xu Ke was very nervous, and even he didn't know what he was nervous about, but in the face of Duan Hu, who had been silent and silent since he entered the house, Xu Ke had to take the lead and said: "Boss Duan, I don't know what you are looking for me?"

"Ake, how was your recent job at TVB?" Duan Hu didn't answer him, but asked about Xu Ke's work.

Xu Ke was puzzled when he heard this, but he still said: "It's okay, where can I learn a lot of things."

"Oh". Duan Hu sighed when he heard this, and said, "Ake, what can you learn from the TV station, and you make less money, have you ever thought about becoming a film director?"

"Ahh Although he had already guessed some possibilities, when Duan Hu said it in person, Xu Ke was still stunned for a moment, and then he was a little excited and excited, and a little suspicious, so he asked cautiously: "What does Boss Duan mean?"

glanced at Xu Ke with some amusement, and Duan Hu smiled: "I want to invite Mr. Xu to my film company as a director, I don't know if Mr. Xu is interested?"

"Sense... Interested. Xu Ke immediately said excitedly and happily, he has no reason not to be excited, he is just a TV station director, and now someone has personally asked him to be the film director, can he not be happy, not excited!

But soon, he couldn't be happy, because he thought that he was a director of the TV station and had a contract, so he sighed depressedly, and he said to Duan Hu: "Boss Duan, I also want to be a director in your company, but I still have a contract in wireless."

Duan Hu smiled when he heard this, and said unconcernedly: "Mr. Xu, you don't have to worry about the contract, I will find someone to help you solve it."

"Thank you, boss." Xu Ke said with some gratitude.

As the saying goes, a man dies for a confidant.

…………

The next day, Duan Hu found someone to settle Xu Ke's contract, and then Duan Hu found his next talent target.

This person is the same as Xu Ke, one of the famous filmmakers in the future, Xu Anhua.
