583 Taiwanese filmmakers who are taking risks

In the main hall of 14k, Shen Zhong ordered people to send all kinds of snacks and high-quality tea to entertain the representatives of the community from Taiwan. 【Reading.com】

To be honest, Shen Zhong is very puzzled now, because the Bamboo Union Gang and 14K have clashed for more than ten years, especially when his son Shen Guohao was sitting in the museum, the main force of the Bamboo Union Gang was Shen Guohao who took the lead in returning to his hometown.

In that large-scale shopping struggle, 14k's vitality was greatly damaged, and he had to shrink into Kowloon's nest to recuperate, and the Bamboo Union Gang turned around and cooperated with Xin Yi'an, which made 14k suffer a lot, if it weren't for Shen Guohao's deathbed orphan, if it weren't for the dragon and tiger martial arts power that Wang Xiaohu feared by any community, if it weren't for the open or dark relationship between Shen Zhong and Wang Xiaohu, Xin Yi'an would have been killed in Kowloon and became the leader of the Kowloon region.

Will New Ngee An be willing? The answer is no!

The people of the Xiang family are always in a situation where they are ready to move, and once there is any gap between 14K and Wang Xiaohu, Xin Yi'an will go straight in.

Shen Zhong understands the cruel situation of this underground world better than Wang Xiaohu, especially after 14K entered the entertainment industry, Xiang Huaqiang also plans to extend his hand to this lucrative industry, and last year he married Bruce Lee's legendary scandal celebrity Ding Pei.

And Xiang Huaqiang has formed his own team of dragon and tiger martial artists, this team of dragon and tiger martial artists is different from Wang Xiaohu's Hong Kong-wide dragon and tiger martial arts union, and the members in it are all members of the gang with some martial arts roots in New Ngee An, and even more students who have been in Wang Xiaohu's martial arts union and have participated in training and have not graduated.

This team mainly serves Siyuan Pictures, and to put it bluntly, New Ngee An has established some kind of connection with Siyuan, and these things happened when Wang Xiaohu was busy with the release of "Myth" in the United States.

Shen Zhong paid close attention to Xiang Huaqiang's every move, and was about to take the time to talk to Wang Xiaohu about this matter, but he didn't expect that before anyone left, the old enemy came to visit.

There is another one who came to visit Shen Zhong with Tian Jianren, who was very popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan and even Southeast Asia in his early years, he is Wang Yu, who became popular with "One-armed Knife", this once famous star actually has a high status in the Bamboo Union Gang, and is considered the core elder level of the Bamboo Union Gang.

Seeing the two former enemies, Shen Zhong did not panic at all, he waited for good tea and snacks, and after greeting for a long time, Wang Yu took the initiative to explain his intentions.

"Uncle Zhong, there is one thing that I want to trouble your old man to come forward." Don't look at Wang Yu being bullish in front of others, in the face of this 14K behind-the-scenes leader, he is still very respectful and polite.

"If you have something, you might as well say it directly." Shen Zhong said with a smile on his face.

"It's still so cool to be Uncle Zhong!" Wang Yu slapped Shen Zhong on the back, and said with a smile: "Here's the thing, we want to act as an agent for Concord's "Mythology". ”

"Acting as an agent of "Mythology", you should talk to Xiaohu." Shen Zhong snorted and said, "I'm not from Concord Company, what's the use of talking to me, Ah Yu, you've found the wrong person!" ”

"No, no, Uncle Zhong, listen to me." Wang Yu was afraid that Shen Zhong would not help, so he hurriedly explained: "In fact, our relationship with Xiehe was still good before, but later Xiaohu went to the mainland several times to make a political axe completely blocked, so from the perspective of formal channels, we can't act as an agent for "Myth". ”

"That has nothing to do with me." Shen Zhong said with a smile: "I don't have any strength in Taiwan's political axe, and I can't help it!" ”

"Uncle Zhong, don't be busy refusing first, listen to me tell you what is going on, and then you will know how much this matter has to do with you."

Shen Zhong nodded, he took a sip of tea and drank it, thinking in his heart what kind of tricks the Bamboo Union Gang was going to play this time.

Seeing that Wang Yu's face was a little embarrassed, he pondered for a moment before saying: "Since the political axe completely blocked Xiaohu, Taiwan's local film market has fallen into a downturn, and the development trend of literary films is not as good as before, and the only one who can support the Taiwan film market is Longbow Pictures." ”

Shen Zhong is now half a filmmaker, and he knows a little bit about the market in the Taiwanese film industry, and Longbow Pictures is also an old friend Run Run Shaw who ordered Zhang Che to squeeze Taiwan's film market, and these insider stories were learned from several exchanges with Wang Xiaohu.

From Wang Yu's words, Shen Zhong now understands the grim situation of Taiwan's film market, first of all, he blocked the most profitable Concord Company in Hong Kong, so that Taiwanese audiences can't see wonderful movies, and then the Taiwan authorities issued some regulations restricting the development of local artists, causing a large number of Taiwanese artists to leave their hometowns, the most obvious is that Qiong Yao's two pillars Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao left Hong Kong.

Those who know the inside story know that this is Wang Xiaohu's fairy jump, and those who don't know think that it was the provisions issued by the political axe that forced away the head of the jade girl, so the entire Taiwanese artist industry is also panicked.

These chaotic situations not only affected the production industry of Taiwan's local films, but also suffered from several theater chains in Taiwan, unable to represent mainstream films from Hong Kong to Concord, and Taiwan's audiences were very unruly in their appetites, and they were not satisfied with the plot and action of local martial arts and kung fu movies at all.

Over time, the audience lost hope in local movies and was too lazy to go into the theater to watch the movie, and the owners of the theater naturally couldn't stand it, and sooner or later it would be a situation of starvation!

What to do?

When "Police Story" was popular in Southeast Asia last year, Taiwanese filmmakers were very greedy, and this time "Myth" was not only a big hit in North America, but the whole Southeast Asia was in a mess, and Taiwan's filmmakers finally couldn't sit still!

Money! That's a lot of money!

How can you watch others make money and do things that you stare at! The bosses of several cinema chains met a small meeting secretly, but they were all at a loss, no way, and it was obviously unrealistic to say that the Jiang family would open up the checkpoint to Concord!

There is no way for other theaters, it doesn't mean that the Tian Group has no way, this backstage is supported by the Bamboo Union Gang, so after careful negotiation, the Tian Group decided to take a risk, and Wang Yu, the elder of the Gang, and Tian Jianren, the representative of the Tian family, discussed the introduction of "Myth".

It is said that it is an introduction, it is better to say that it is a secret introduction, after all, the profits brought by "Myth" are too eye-catching, Tian Group means not to go through formal channels, quietly buy a copy of "Myth" from Concord, and secretly release it in its own theater, if it is not opened, the entire Tian Group will collapse!

Before looking for Concord, Wang Yu felt that it would be better to come forward through Shen Zhong, who made Shen Zhong Wang Xiaohu's deed, who made Wang Xiaohu Shen Moyan's deed, and Tian Jianren's relationship with Wang Xiaohu was not very harmonious before, and it became the best choice to go to the black market between associations.

"Ah Yu, if I heard me correctly, you mean to buy a copy of "Myth" through my channels?" After Shen Zhong listened, he frowned and said, "Oh, this makes me confused, in fact, you can talk to Xiaohu face to face." ”

In fact, the old guy is very shrewd, how can he be a little confused, if Wang Xiaohu's route can work, I'm afraid that an old enemy like the Bamboo Union Gang will not come to him.

Sure enough, I heard Wang Yu sigh and say: "Uncle Zhong, don't you always know the rules of our business, that is, you can't go head-to-head with the political axe, if I blatantly buy a copy in Xiehe and go back to the public, the whole Bamboo Union Gang will be implicated!" ”

"That's right!" Shen Zhong nodded and said, "So, you plan to take care of it yourself and trade with us 14k in your own name, so that after the incident, you go out to take the pot?" ”

Wang Yu said with emotion when he heard this: "Uncle Zhong still understands my hardships, who said no, these years I have red eyes for money, who doesn't tie my head to the waistband of my pants to go to the rivers and lakes, how can I come to spend money and recreation if I don't take risks." ”

"But if the matter is revealed, won't our 14k business in Taiwan also be implicated, your Bamboo Union Gang has a solid foundation, just find a few small bosses to hand it over, but our 14k will be completely blocked by the Jiang family, if you don't get it right, you can't do it, this kind of loss-making business will not be done!"

Shen Zhong raised his right hand and made a head-killing gesture, and then shook his head like a rattle, and he just didn't agree.

This can make Wang Yu anxious. "Uncle Zhong, don't worry, once the matter is revealed, our Bamboo Union Gang will not give up your gang!"

Shen Zhong snorted coldly, they are all mixed with each other on the road, if it is the brothers of their own gang, they may protect each other, after all, everyone who mixes the rivers and lakes pays attention to a "righteous word first", and the other party is his old rival, if it were you, would you believe it?

"This, this" Wang Yu was stunned for a moment, "Uncle Zhong, how can you agree to help?" ”

"It's difficult, after all, there are many brothers in Taiwan who are working hard with 14k, and I can't give up their lives and deaths for a little benefit." Shen Zhong said coldly: "If it is passed on, how can I, Shen Zhong, be worthy of the seniors of 14k!" ”

"Otherwise, we bought a copy of the Myth from you, Uncle Zhong, for twice the price." Wang Yu said.

Since Shen Zhong entered the film industry, he directly acquired a small theater that couldn't be mixed, the scale was not large, only the kind with 100 seats, Wang Xiaohu once gave Shen Zhong a copy of "Myth" for free, which Wang Yu inquired about.

"Oh, Ah Yu, you're so embarrassed for me!" Shen Zhong shook his head in embarrassment and said, "No, I want to pay for 14k"

"Triple as much!" Wang Yu didn't wait for Shen Zhong to finish speaking, stretched out three fingers, and seeing that Shen Zhong still refused to agree, he gritted his teeth and said, "Five times!" Uncle Zhong, it can't be any higher! ”
