Chapter 230: The Third Giant
Chapter 230: The Third Giant
In the office of the president of the LP company, Qu Yiming and Huang Wenzhong were sitting quietly and waiting. For Lu Yan's identity, Qu Yiming and some of the company's senior executives know. It's just that other employees don't know much about the identity of the new president. Because the president's office is on a separate floor, adjacent to the conference room. Most of the office workers are not on this floor. In addition, Lu Yan was in a hurry every time he came, and he deliberately disguised himself and no one recognized him.
"Brother Ming, who is our mysterious boss" Huang Wenzhong, as the CEO, has not seen the real boss since he came to LP. Especially after he got some of Qu Yiming's plans, he was even more curious: "Our LP is doing well in other industries now, why does the boss want to go to the muddy waters of the entertainment industry, compared to the real comparison, the entertainment industry can't make any big money?" ”
Qu Yiming smiled and said, "Ah Zhong, won't you know when the boss comes?"
"Brother Ming, how did you do it today is very mysterious. Could it be that our boss is a big man in Hong Kong? ”
At that moment, the door to the president's office was pushed open.
Qu Yiming immediately got up and shouted respectfully: "Boss"
By the way, Huang Wenzhong, who didn't have time to see the person who came, also hurriedly got up and said, "Boss"
Lu Yan took off his sunglasses, sat down in his position and waved his hand: "Uncle Ming, don't be polite to this is the CEO of our LP, sit ......"
Immediately seeing Huang Wenzhong's face full of incredulity, Lu Yan smiled and said nearby: "Brother Wenzhong is not very surprised, but there is no way." I'm the boss of LP - Lu Yan"
Huang Wenzhong always thought that the new boss of LP should be a little old man, or at least a middle-aged man. But I didn't expect it to be a pretty boy who seemed to be in his twenties...... Especially when I heard the name and took a closer look, isn't Lu Yan the boss of Dongcheng Images, a ghost director who makes headlines on the entertainment page every day
This new force in the entertainment industry is actually the new boss behind the scenes of LP?
No wonder it's so mysterious
But then he thought about it, and he understood. Although many people in Hong Kong do not know the real situation of LP companies, Huang Wen has already had some sources of information and understanding when he chose to join this company. As a large Canadian conglomerate, Lui's Group's Hong Kong subsidiary is indeed a good choice. Since it is the Lu Group, plus Lu Yan's identity was exposed. Someone with a little brain can immediately connect the two.
It turns out that the Lu Group in Canada is Lu Le's family company. Then it is not surprising that Lu Yan has become the new boss of LP
"Boss, I am Huang Wenzhong" Huang Wenzhong quickly replied after being stunned for a while, after all, the facts are in front of him. But looking at Lu Yan's playful expression, he was a little crying and laughing. It is estimated that other employees in the company know that their boss will be Lu Yan, but they don't know what the situation is
Lu Yan motioned for Huang Wenzhong to sit down, regained his composure and said, "You shouldn't have to wonder why I decided to enter the entertainment industry market with LP now, right?" You should have seen the plan in this regard. Any ideas, can you"
I have to say that Lu Yan's current aura has gradually emerged. If it feels like a big boy next door when you first walk in the door, then you already look like a boss when you open your mouth. Coupled with his reputation and the image of Dongcheng under his command, he is indeed a 'pivotal' figure in Hong Kong
"Originally, I didn't recommend LP companies to enter the entertainment market, after all, the Hong Kong entertainment industry is such a big piece of cake. No matter how much it is, it is that benefit for our company, and the Hong Kong entertainment industry is not easy to enter, this thing is not enough to have money. How many companies hope to be able to get a piece of the pie, but the final result is to burn money in, but I never expected that the boss would be you" Speaking of this, Huang Wenzhong suddenly laughed at himself and said: "If this is the case, things will be much easier." Boss, the Dongcheng Imaging under you, has no doubt about its status in the film industry. What is lacking is only funds, as long as we inject funds, I believe that we will become a film company immediately, but ......"
"But what?" Lu Yan listened to Huang Wenzhong's words with interest and asked.
"I don't know if the boss understands Hollywood?"
"Hollywood" Lu Yan thought about some of the learning in his previous life, and hesitated: "I don't know how to know"
"Do you know Fox and DreamWorks, the big names in Hollywood?"
"Of course I know" Although Lu Yan doesn't know about Hollywood film companies, the names of these companies have long been like thunder. Aren't these classics such as "Star Wars" and "Titanic" from one of the Foxes
Huang Wenzhong nodded and continued to speak: "Originally, I also thought about it, if the boss is not a person who is familiar with the entertainment industry. Then my suggestion is to make an acquisition, after all, then there will be a well-established relevant department and operation. Even if it doesn't work, you have to buy an independent production company. For example, Dongcheng Image needs to have connections and influence in the circle...... Of course, my consideration is based on efficiency recovery and branding. At that time, our company will definitely not interfere excessively, but now it seems that the situation is different. Now that the boss already has Dongcheng Imaging in his hands, I think the boss is preparing to set up a film company and then compete with big companies such as Xinyicheng and Golden Harvest, right? ”
"Well, but what does this have to do with the Hollywood studios?"
"The boss is young, and he has great ambitions" Huang Wenzhong picked up the plan on the side and smiled: "And the boss's idea is very jumpy, although it has not been practiced in Hong Kong, it is absolutely feasible." Just like the boss said, when the time comes, we will stand out in the Hong Kong entertainment industry with strong commercial packaging, publicity and intensive acting training, and link movies with other side hustles, such as record companies, and the discovery of new talents...... In this regard, TVB has done a very good job."
Lu Yan tilted his head and said curiously: "What else?" ”
"I mean, it's about expanding the studio. Make it not just a film company, but an entertainment company. In terms of integration, the development of films, records and peripheral commercial supplies as a film company can learn from the Hollywood model. Let it have a full range of production, distribution and exhibition business, especially in overseas distribution. After I got the plan, I analyzed the current form of the Hong Kong entertainment industry. In this regard, the overseas distribution of New Arts City has done a very good job. And what really opened up the situation in Thailand, Japan, South Korea and other Southeast Asian regions were the films directed by Lu. "The True Color of Heroes", "A Chinese Ghost Story", ...... In the past, it was hard for me to imagine that Bruce Lee's movies would sell so widely and cause such good benefits."
"Hehe" Lu Yan smiled, Huang Wenzhong's words were not a slap in the face. The reason why Dongcheng Imaging can have such abundant funds now is precisely because the two movies "The True Color of Heroes" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" are selling very well overseas. If Dongcheng Imaging is overseas, at least it has its own theater chain in Asia. If you don't buy out the movie copy, it is estimated that the income will be more lucrative. He nodded in agreement, "What about the other aspects?" ”
"I may be talking about the macro and overall situation, but if it continues to develop according to this model, it is absolutely feasible" Huang Wenzhong also said with some energy, and immediately opened the blueprint in his heart and said: "In fact, if the boss really has a heart, then it can really create the success of Asia's 'Hollywood', although the current Hong Kong movies are very popular and the box office is very good." But compared to the United States, it is a drop in the bucket. After all, Hong Kong is just a small place. If you develop subsidiaries and establish cinema chains in Asian countries, then the benefits are very considerable. In terms of records, the boss's ideas are also very mature. Cooperate with Huaxing Records first, and then what we have to do is to gradually devour all the singers under Huaxing and sign them over...... And it is necessary to set up a talent scouting department, not only to discover good singer seedlings. In terms of actors, it is also possible to explore and set up major training courses similar to TVB and ATV, and make their own stars."
Lu Yan had never thought about it so much before, but his eyes were on the entertainment market in Hong Kong. Even the main aspect, it is still the movie. Devouring Huaxing Records? This idea really didn't come to Lu Yan's mind. As for the idea of opening branches all over Asia and closing up cinemas, I have never thought of it.
Now that Huang Wenzhong said it, it seems that Lu Yan has suddenly opened a beautiful blueprint for building an Asian 'Hollywood'
However, although Lu Yan was a little excited, his head was not so hot that he was dizzy.
At this time, he was very sure of Huang Wenzhong's innovative ideas: "Although the imagination is very beautiful, what we have to solve now is these problems at this stage. Although the box office of several movies of Dongcheng Imaging is very high at the box office and the reputation is also very good, the audience benefit is very good. But compared with Xinyicheng and Golden Harvest, there are still many deficiencies."
"Boss, you're going to worry about this too much, with the current status of Dongcheng Imaging in the Hong Kong film industry, it is a matter of minutes to compete with Xinyicheng and Golden Harvest." Huang Wenzhong smiled very confidently and explained to Lu Yan: "As long as LP's funds are injected, Dongcheng Imaging will soon become the third largest company in the Hong Kong film industry, plus the boss, your talent and those talents within the company, you can shoot more wonderful movies to consolidate the position of Dongcheng Images."
