Chapter 32. Investment Canopy (1st Update)
Seeing Chen Xuanting appear at the door ghostly, Andy Lau waved his hand and said, "You go down, Chen Sheng has an agreement with me!" The female assistant breathed a sigh of relief and turned to go out.
Andy Lau took out the tape, put it between his fingers and said with a smile: "It's a very special agreement!" ”
Chen Xuanting smiled: "Because you are a very special person!" ”
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Chen Xuanting smiled slightly, and then unceremoniously picked up the cup of coffee that Andy Lau hadn't drunk yet and said, "I want to invest in Tianmu!" ”
"Ah, what?" Andy Lau thought he had misheard.
Chen Xuanting seemed to have expected Andy Lau to have such a reaction, so he took out the check for four million Hong Kong dollars, pushed it over from the table and said: "If my calculation is correct, your Tianmu Company spent nearly seven million yuan when it was established, of course, because of your name Liu Tianwang, it is worth at least three million publicity expenses, so calculated, your Tianmu Company is roughly 10 million opening, after nearly two years of operation, except for the "91 Condor Heroes" at the beginning of this year, Everything else is basically losing money! Am I right?! Chen Xuanting squinted at Andy Lau with his eyes, and the corners of his mouth smiled.
Andy Lau has always kept his financial situation very secret, how could he have thought that Chen Xuanting would tell everything about it, and he couldn't help but look at him like an alien, if it weren't for Chen Xuanting's previous submission, he really thought he was a commercial spy.
"I don't want to deny it, I'm a failure to be a boss!" Andy Lau shrugged his shoulders very calmly. "According to the current stock price of Tianmu Company, your four million can buy at least more than half of Tianmu Company's equity!"
"Hehe, the canopy is your brainchild, so I only need half of the equity." Chen Xuanting looked very indifferent.
Andy Lau couldn't help but look at Chen Xuanting again, after all, in Hong Kong's money society, there are very few people like him who don't care about financial interests!
How did Andy Lau know that Chen Xuanting had already calculated him at this moment, you must know that Andy Lau himself is a big star, and the company's operation in the future can completely save a huge amount of publicity and endorsement fees. Secondly, a busy person like him flies to film all day long and evening, where will he have enough time to manage the company, and in the end, he will definitely be in control.
Now that Chen Xuanting takes the initiative to give in, he can't help but show his gentlemanly demeanor, and he can also lower Andy Lau's vigilance against himself. Sooner or later, Tianmu Company will become his own bag, maybe Andy Lau himself will send it personally.
Chen Xuanting calculated Andy Lau in a dark manner, and Andy Lau sighed at Chen Xuanting's noble sentiment of not caring about interests, and asked in surprise: "But I'm more curious, how can someone who didn't even have 10,000 yuan a week ago suddenly take out 4 million now!" Chen Xuanting, you surprise me! ”
"All kinds of amazing things are happening on this earth every day, the question is whether you accept it?" Chen Xuanting tapped the four million check with his fingers.
Andy Lau smiled, took it and said, "I'm not a fool, someone is willing to invest in my loss-making company, why shouldn't I be happy?!" ”
"Hehe, Andy, I like you more and more, the stupidest thing about being a man is that you can't get along with money!" Chen Xuanting smiled, and there was some momentum between his words.
Andy Lau: "But you don't look like a stupid person---- let's say, what are the conditions?" ”
"Hehe, the conditions are very simple, first, I should keep a low profile about my shareholding in Tianmu, well, it's best to be secretive; Second, I will put forward my own opinions on some of Tianmu's investments, and I hope that you and I will cooperate happily; Third, this is the sequel script "Father and Son Feud" of "The Legend of Lei Luo", of course, I am not a professional screenwriter, and it is still a little rougher! Chen Xuanting handed over the script he was carrying.
Andy Lau couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It turns out that you are not dead set on this drama!" ”
Chen Xuanting smiled: "For projects that can make a lot of money, I never give up!" ”
"But I seem to have told you, this drama is very difficult to get started!"
"There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart! In addition, I know that you have a very good relationship with Zeng Zhiwei, the pistachio in the entertainment industry, right? ”
"Yes, you mean ......"
"Haven't you heard that Zeng Zhiwei's father used to be Lu Le's subordinate?"
"I see, you want me to play the emotional card?"
"Hehe, I didn't say anything, you said it yourself!" Chen Xuanting said with a smile, and then said: "As for the starring role of this play, I recommend some to you, do you think it is appropriate?" ”
Saying that, Chen Xuanting handed the sorted out cast list of "The Legend of Lei Luo" to Andy Lau, Andy Lau didn't expect him to be so thoughtful, and even the cast list was ready. If you take a closer look, it goes without saying that the protagonist "Lei Luo" locks on to himself. As for the heroines, they are Qiu Shuzhen and Zhang Min, both of whom are very popular in the film industry now, and they are interesting. In terms of the villain, Chen Xuanting recommended Qin Pei to him, and asked him to play the role of "Yan Tong".
If you have an actor, you must have a director, and here, the person recommended by Chen Xuanting is the director of this drama in his previous life---- Liu Guochang!
Chen Xuanting's evaluation of Liu Guochang is: he has the sense of the times and the deep heritage needed to shoot a biography. You can show the scenery of Hong Kong in the 60s and 70s, but you can't show the style of the time like Lau Kwok-cheong.
After reading the entire recommendation form, Andy Lau couldn't help but take a deep breath this time, then glanced at Chen Xuanting and said, "Ah Ting, if I didn't know that you had been in prison before, I really doubt that you have been in the entertainment industry for decades!" This list of actors is simply perfect! ”
Chen Xuanting was not fluttering because of Andy Lau's praise, he scratched his eyebrows with his tail finger very modestly and said: "Since you think it's perfect, let me do it!" Don't you really look forward to the day when Tianmu can rise in the film industry and become a giant like Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest! ”
"Yes, that's my greatest wish!" Andy Lau was agitated.
"Then, let me help you make that happen!" The corners of Chen Xuanting's mouth outlined a touch of rebellion!
The next day, as the president of Tianmu Company, Andy Lau announced that Tianmu Company has a new boss to join, and he will be in charge of Tianmu Company's future film and entertainment business.
For this mysterious stealth boss, everyone speculates, some people say that Andy Lau found a wealthy man in Singapore and Malaysia and invested in his own company; Some people also said that Andy Lau had to transfer his shares to Taiwan's bigwigs because of the company's serious losses; What's more, Andy Lau was maintained by a super-rich woman to invest additional funds to maintain the operation of his company. In short, there is everything, and many people, especially those media reporters in Hong Kong, are full of curiosity about this mysterious "second boss" of the canopy. So much so that some newspapers offered a sky-high reward of 100,000 yuan for those who dug up the insider.
Not to mention that these entertainment reporters were "crazy" by Andy Lau's statement, Andy Lau himself, according to the path pointed out by Chen Xuanting, after giving a banquet to Zeng Zhiwei, he went to Taiwan with Zeng Zhiwei and Zeng Zhiwei's father to meet Lu Le, the "police hero" who retired from the rivers and lakes. The former 500 million inspector didn't feel too embarrassed for Andy Lau and them, of course, he also gave his former subordinates a subordinate, and nodded and agreed to the filming of "The Legend of Lei Luo". This can't help but make Andy Lau happy.
As soon as he returned to Hong Kong from Taiwan, Andy Lau recruited actors and designated director Liu Guochang to shoot the film himself.
Since then, "The Legend of Lei Luo" has officially started filming.
