Everyone's eyes were fixed on the three bigwigs in the Hong Kong film industry, and even the media only gave the newly established "Hong Kong Screenwriters Association" a passing report, completely unaware of what kind of dazzling brilliance this association would exude in the future.

Although the bosses of the three major cinema chains, which monopolize the box office of Hong Kong films, are secretive about the content of the secret room discussions, and have no comment, how can those professional reporters not smell a little special smell from here? As a result, speculation about the imminent merger of the three major cinema chains in Hong Kong has been rampant, causing panic.

At the end of the song, everyone dispersed, still in that conference room, Yang Lin faced the generals under his command, his brows furrowed as if he had twisted a knot, and he was rarely hesitant.

Do you want to start his long-planned poaching plan?

Yang Lin knows that once he makes a move at this time, it will make people in the Hong Kong film industry panic, and he will quickly become everyone's public enemy, which will automatically form an extremely strong resistance to his development. But as long as these people are grasped in their hands, it is equivalent to holding the next ten or twenty years of Hong Kong films in the palm of their hands, and these people can call for wind and rain in the future Hong Kong film industry to achieve the final glory of Hong Kong films, all of them are the elite of the elite. Since these people can stand out in the midst of thousands of troops in history, it means that no matter what, these people have super strength, as long as they "teach them according to their aptitude", stars are still stars, and kings are still kings, there will be no difference.

What should I do, do I want to be the enemy of the entire Hong Kong film industry?

Xu Ke, Wang Jing, Wu Yusen, Liu Guanwei, Shi Nansheng, Du Qifeng, Wei Jiahui, Cheng Xiaodong and others present can see Yang Lin's hesitation and understand why he is so hesitant. When the time comes, the whole Hong Kong will boycott, and Yang Lin's words will definitely not be easy.

But if you want to make a film, you have to have actors, a film is made, the actors are famous, and the next time you shoot again, the salary will rise. I give people to other film companies, and in the end, it is others who benefit, and I have to be taken by others at the critical moment, do you say that I am aggrieved or not?

It's a dilemma, as if you can't have the best of both worlds.

Looking at the list of "corners" full of dense names in front of him, Yang Lin smiled bitterly: "It's still easy to think, where is there such a good thing, and the benefits are all taken up by us?" ”

Shi Nansheng also persuaded: "We still have to think about it clearly, it seems that our strength is rising quickly, but the gains outweigh the losses." Although most of these actors are actors who are not too important in various film companies, as long as they make a move, the impact is the same, and the consequences are the same. At that time, I am afraid that our reputation will be stinking on the street, and even if our strength is strong, it will not lead to good results in arousing public outrage. ”

Yang Lin lit a cigarette irritably, remained silent, and smoked hard, hiding his face in the faint blue smoke.

For a while, the atmosphere in the conference room was a little depressing, and everyone didn't know what to do.

Du Qifeng joined Red Star Pictures just after resigning from TVB, but he didn't expect to face such a difficult choice immediately. He also saw Yang Lin's list of "digging the foot of the wall", and couldn't help but gasp, secretly stunned by Yang Lin's vision and spirit.

There is no real big-name star on that list, all of them are newcomers and young actors with outstanding acting skills and solid foundations, and there are no less than a dozen on the list of only one wireless TV station. It stands to reason that these people are not enough to make the major film companies pay attention, but if Yang Lin really poaches these people, I am afraid that he will not even be able to get together a few decent tricks, and if you think about it, you can know how annoyed the major film companies will be at that time. The most important thing is that although Du Qifeng doesn't know a few other people, he knows too well how much potential the guys on the list of TVB TV have. Take a look, Zhou Xingchi, ** Yun, Ekin Cheng

Even if all these people are poached, the strength of Red Star Pictures will increase significantly, and Red Star Pictures will face huge pressure.

Du Qifeng sighed: "I have to say, Alin, your list is really amazing, and the talents in Hong Kong will be wiped out by you." But why is it too much momentum, and there is no benefit for Red Star Pictures to be isolated, or let's do it slowly, dig it in batches, and try to do it unconsciously. ”

Wu Yusen agreed: "This method is good, boil frogs in warm water, let's take our time, dig one today, dig another tomorrow, everyone who digs and digs doesn't pay attention, let's get all the people." ”

"Isn't that the same? Eventually, it will be discovered. When the time comes, will it still offend people or be boycotted, can it poach all the actors in Hong Kong? Even if we dig up a dozen or twenty, is it possible that such a large company, so many directors, and so much investment, are these people shooting every drama? You'll die laughing. Wang Jing pouted in disagreement.

Yang Lin finally realized what the problem was.

Red Star Pictures is that he is at the helm, everything is under his control, every step of the way, where to go, is within his control. And Red Star Pictures is developing too fast now, and it has become a deformed giant, a giant with a small body, and its foundation is seriously insufficient.

has a director, funds, and a theater line, but as soon as that little foundation is distributed by so many branches, it becomes shabby and pitiful, and this is also an important reason why he is anxious to poach people. However, even if you dig people, how much can you dig? In order to ensure the source of Red Star Cinemas and cultivate cutting-edge directors like Yu Yunhang, it is necessary to keep making films. The script is not a problem, you have as much as you want, and the Hong Kong Screenwriters Guild, which has just been established, also has this function, which is within his plan. But in order to allow these most elite directors of Hong Kong films to continue to make progress in their fields of expertise, and finally complete their dream of sweeping the world, these directors must be sent out and continue to make films.

Xu Ke is a group, Wang Jing is a group, Wu Yusen is a group, Liu Guanwei is a group, Yu Yunhang is a group, and Du Qifeng must also have a group, oh my God! Yang Lin was shocked, how could he take care of such a huge branch structure? Even if you split it into two pieces, you can't do it. If they all get together, then why do you pull them over with all your energy? Just shoot it yourself.

What to do?

It's not just him who is aware of the problem, almost everyone is aware of it.

In fact, this problem is not a dead knot, at least someone has solved this problem, that is, Shao Yifu. The production mode of the assembly line of the big studio is the best way to maintain production and take care of every major director to shoot the film. However, the Shaw Brothers Company struggled under the impact of New Arts City and Golden Harvest, which eventually led to the reduction of production and production, and it is known that this model is not applicable to the current development of Hong Kong films.

Then the only thing left is the kind of dry method of Golden Harvest New Art City: satellite company. It is mainly based on Red Star Pictures, and then forms various small companies, with Red Star Pictures providing funds to provide theaters, and satellite companies are responsible for shooting.

To be honest, this method is probably acceptable to all the people present, so that they will be more capable and flexible in their own hands. But Yang Lin didn't want that! You are all independent and flexible, how do you control the general direction?

If Yang Lin doesn't want to end up dying like a dog and not making a mess of Red Star Pictures, it is a good way to adopt the model of a satellite company. That will not only free him to participate more in future layout planning, but also greatly release the passion of these cattle. But the general direction of development must be controlled in your own hands, what to do?

Shi Nansheng's ability to operate the company's administration is far beyond the reach of others, and from her understanding of Yang Lin for a short time, this person is not very powerful. But his current hesitation is clearly that he can't seal these people out and then reduce his control. Why not be obsessed with power, but still dominate power? Definitely not for the sake of making money, so for what?

She looked at the irritable Yang Lin strangely, thought for a while and said softly: "Everyone is more inclined to the type of technology, whether it is business means or capital, it is not very advantageous, do you think it can all be invested by you, you have a large share?" ”

Holding? Yang Lin's mind suddenly brightened, and he slapped the table hard.

Xu Ke and Wang Jing set up a satellite film company, and Red Star Film Investment occupied an absolute share, and these people were responsible for the specific operation of the company with technology or their own shares. Then the Red Star Pictures, Red Star Records, Red Star Cinemas and even the Red Star Animation Studio in the far away world were integrated and reorganized, and a "Red Star Entertainment" was established to issue shares and go public. At that time, Red Star Entertainment was like a big network, and he sat in the center of the network to dispatch and control the direction, and he could take advantage of the listing to raise funds, and he could also get out of his body to capture the film market or enter North America.

All satellite companies themselves are major shareholders, only need to formulate a perfect plan, the details have these cattle to implement, all the administrative operations are under the framework of the future "Red Star Entertainment", is a super chariot closely combined. The most important thing is that the absolute control is still in his own hands, and he is holding the rudder, leading this big ship to attack the city and wreak havoc on the world, and promote Chinese films to the world.

The more Yang Lin thought about it, the more excited he became, and said loudly: "Everyone prepare, I plan to support you to set up a film company, which will be invested and controlled by me." Then set up a special effects company, and an animation studio, and then unified integration and fundraising to go public, and established the 'Red Star Entertainment' group. Don't worry about doing it boldly, there will be more than 200 million US dollars in the near future, which is enough for you to show your strength. ”

Everyone looked left and right, and their eyes were full of joy that could not be concealed. Although "Red Star Pictures" does not give everyone too much restraint in shooting, after all, everyone is stirring a horse spoon in a pot, bumps and bumps are inevitable, and good friends will inevitably have conflicts when they grow up. Now it's the best, everyone goes out and works alone, and if there is a difficulty, they can help each other, and they have to remember it.

As for the practice of Xinyicheng and Jiahe only signing supply and demand contracts with satellite companies, it is completely different from Yang Lin's complete control, and everyone has no idea. Yang Lin pays money, so he naturally wants to occupy the shares. And once this "Red Star Entertainment Group" is established, doesn't it mean that while you own the shares of the film company, you also own the shares of the Red Star Cinema Line? Even if that little bit of shares is very small, it is impossible to have the slightest right to speak, but after all, it is also the shares of the theater chain. If it is really as the outside world is now going viral, Yang Lin intends to merge the three major cinema chains in Hong Kong, and then set up a "Hong Kong cinema group" or something, what does it mean? Everyone was very excited, and everyone knew that Yang Lin was simply giving money to everyone, although all the money he had worked hard to earn for Yang Lin.

Even if such a satellite company is established a hundred, Shi Nansheng is still the general manager who holds the administrative power, so everyone left in a hurry, but Shi Nansheng did not leave.

"To be honest, I don't understand your intentions in doing this, why would you rather trade shares for absolute control of the company? I know that in the near future, those small shares will be astronomical sums. Shi Nansheng sat elegantly in place and asked Yang Lin suspiciously.

Everything Yang Lin did was not to make money, on the contrary, he simply gave the money to these directors who were about to establish a reading film company. If this group is only listed, it is better to say that if it can really unify Hong Kong's cinema chain one day, it must set up a special company to operate. Then these film companies will develop unscrupulously with the support of Yang Lin, and the benefits they will obtain are eye-catching to think about.

"Hehe, that's just an ideal. I know what you're thinking, even if one day the cinema chains in Hong Kong join forces to form a company, I won't merge it into this Red Star Entertainment Group. The separation of the theater chain and the production company is my ultimate goal. ”

"Like Hollywood?"

"Yes, the production company operating the theater chain is the beginning of the decline of the movie, and the Shaw Brothers Company is the best example. Don't look at Princess Golden Harvest now, sooner or later it will be over. As long as the film is made, it can be released to make money, no matter how you make it, you won't lose money, who would be stupid to take the risk of making a good film? It's good to make money steadily. But now the world film industry is in an era of rapid development, if you don't advance against the current, you will retreat, how can you make progress without competition? People are making progress and you are standing still, it is a matter of time before you are eliminated, and you can't run away with great ability. Only when the producer and the theater chain are separated, forcing you to make no money or even lose money if you don't have a good film, those big men will desperately use their brains to make movies. Isn't there any talent at Shaw Brothers? Now most of the filmmakers in Hong Kong are from Shaw Brothers, but why is he finished? That's it. Now that Shaw Brothers has fallen, it is a lesson from the past, and we must avoid this pit of self-depravity. ”

"If that day comes, will you give up the management of the theater chain or the power of the film company?"

"Of course, we have to grasp the theater chain in our hands, so that we will always be invincible. As for the studios, if you think about the eight major Hollywood studios, you can see what I'm thinking. ”

Shi Nansheng really admired Yang Lin: "You really dare to think about it." ”

Yang Lin raised his eyebrows: "Not only do I dare to think, but I also dare to do it." (To be continued.) )
