Chapter 121: Upstarts in the entertainment industry

Two days later, Hu Jian rushed back with a tired face and dusty face. Although his face was haggard, the joy that could not be concealed in his tiger eyes made Yang Lin's heart brighten.

Sure enough, as soon as Hu Jian saw Yang Lin, he said straight to the point: "The leaders of the General Administration have agreed in principle to the matter of 'import account sharing blockbusters'. But for the sake of prudence, it is necessary to choose one to test the water first and see how the reaction is, the number is to be determined, and the standard is to be determined. ”

Yang Lin suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, licked his lips, and asked, "Then this "Assembly Number""

Hu Jian's face suddenly changed, he looked remorseful and embarrassed, and sighed: "Ah Lin, brother, I have dried my mouth, exhausted my lips and tongue, and said all the good things. You're young, talented, and brainy, so work hard. "He paused here to see Yang Lin's reaction.

Yang Lin's heart sank. All his plans, it is the top priority to get a share of the box office when it is released in the mainland, and this hurdle cannot be passed, and all calculations are fireworks in a dream, and the smoke is gone. Without the help of the mainland, it will be difficult to break out of the encirclement with the monopoly of the three major film companies in Hong Kong. If you want to stand out in the competition with Pan Disheng and Hong Jinbao, and be favored and affirmed by Shao Yifu, it is even more difficult and difficult. This group of people in the mainland is really true

Hu Jian looked at Yang Lin's depressed face, his eyes blinked, and suddenly burst into laughter, laughing for a long time, before he couldn't help but smile under Yang Lin's confused eyes: "The General Bureau, I have preliminarily agreed, and this film to test the water is "Assembly Number"!" ”

Yang Lin was stunned, and his brain couldn't turn for a while. What does this mean?

"Hehe, according to the meaning of the General Administration, this "Assembly Number" will be launched to the whole society as a National Day gift, and then discuss whether to implement reforms depending on the follow-up reaction. Therefore, the subordinate provincial film companies must ensure the true and accurate surnames of all data, and once it is found that there is fraud and box office, they will be severely punished and will not be tolerated. Moreover, once this issue of 'import account-sharing blockbusters' is passed, the provincial film companies that have been punished will not supply films for five years. Huh, awesome, right? ”

Damn, it's really full of ups and downs! Yang Lin squinted his eyes and stared at Hu Jian with a burning gaze, this guy is actually playing a prank? But in my heart I couldn't suppress the ecstasy.

Basically, the purpose of going north this time has been fully achieved, and there are even unexpected joys. Is the mainland really ready to pass this proposal of "import account sharing blockbuster"? Doesn't that mean that you are really determined to change? Historically, this was 10 years later. Although the institutional atmosphere in the mainland is destined to make this reform even if it is put on the agenda, I don't know what year or month it will be implemented, but it is always the changes brought about by my little butterfly, right?

Hu Jian sat down on the sofa relaxedly, and said lightly: "I see what the General Administration means, Yindu Agency's investment in this film this time will not exceed five million, and the rest will have to be raised by yourself." How about it, will the budget be lowered a little bit to reduce the risk? ”

He is also in a very good mood now, this time the General Administration can agree to test the water, of course, it wants to use this co-production to give the top management an opportunity and an attitude in this sensitive period, in fact, in the final analysis, it is this "import account-sharing blockbuster" way that allows them to see hope and the hope of integrating the interests of the whole country. If this method really happens, the film industry in the mainland will achieve substantial unification, and the General Administration will hold the magic army and command the world, and it will no longer be the current situation of being scattered and independent.

"Reduced risk?" Yang Lin shook his head, and his delicate face showed a hint of arrogance: "As long as the quality is hard enough, there is no risk at all." Why can "Shaolin Temple" attract so many people to watch it and create a mythical box office? is because the movies in the mainland are the same, and they have not changed for decades, the audience has long been aesthetically fatigued, and even the plot is seen at the beginning and knows the end, and they don't watch it at all. As long as the quality of the film goes up, it is not impossible to even invest more. ”

Hu Jian pouted, stretched out his thumb and praised: "Not very old, courageous!" When it's time to shoot, no matter what difficulties there are, no matter manpower or material resources, as long as you don't talk about money, you can find me for anything! ”

Yang Lin said with a smile: "Chairman Hu, is this giving the old man a dismissal?" "Everything is looking for you, where do you put the Yindu institution?

Hu Jian was slightly stunned, shook his head and said with a smile: "You kid, you are a good hand at sowing discord!" ”

*********

As Yang Lin returned to Hong Kong to discuss specific co-production matters with Yindu Organization, various media paid great attention to the full release of Hong Kong films in the mainland. For a time, Yang Lin's name as an "entertainment genius" resounded throughout the Xiangjiang River and moved the world. Let's ask, how can a newcomer in the film industry who has just set up a "pocket-sized" film company and has not even made a single film be able to open up the mainland market? Suddenly, all kinds of rumors and rumors were rampant, pushing Yang Lin to the forefront.

Yang Lin didn't care about this, and was inspecting the business situation at this stage of "Red Star Records".

Since he was injured and hospitalized, Yang Lin has not been to "Red Star Records", and everything in the company has been handed over to his senior brother Xu Junqin. Xu Junqin is a flexible person, generous, and a talent. And he has a good relationship with Yang Lin, and he has a relationship with Gu Jiahui, and he has a high degree of trust.

Xu Junqin took a thick stack of accounts and handed them to Yang Lin. The smug color on his face couldn't be concealed: "Recently, the company's record sales have been very good, especially after Yang Daxia, your majesty has been greatly enhanced, and the supply is in short supply." It can be said that in Hong Kong now, when it comes to record sales in the past two months, in addition to Tan Yilin and Cheung Kwok-rong, it is Qizai and Huixian. ”

This era is the era of "Tan Zhang's hegemony", and Tan Zhang's supremacy has suppressed the opportunity for other singers to take the lead to a certain extent. But powerful singers still continue to join the battle group, forming a wonderful scene of cruel and fierce competition.

The so-called Tam (Alan Lin) and Zhang (Kuo Rong) compete for hegemony is actually a game in which Leslie Cheung catches up with Alan Tam, and Alan Tam has always maintained a leading position in front of strong opponents. The fans of the two are like fire and water, and conflicts between scolding and even beating each other appear from time to time. The most egregious incident was that Tan's fans scratched Leslie Cheung's car and left the vicious insult that 'Leslie Cheung died of AIDS'. Such an excessive approach overwhelmed the two, and Alan Tam announced in early 88 that he would no longer accept the award at the 1987 Hong Kong Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony. After Alan Tam withdrew, Leslie Cheung easily won 88 and ** two most popular male singers without opponents, and announced his farewell to the showbiz physically and mentally exhausted and boring (but later he returned to filming, and then returned to the music industry). The charm of idols was fully revealed during this period, and the Hong Kong music scene entered a fiery era.

Zhang Xueyou and Chen Huixian can stand out in front of these two "gods", which is enough.

Yang Lin took the account and said, "Thank you for your hard work, senior brother!" ”

Xu Junqin said: "Why are you so polite? I also have shares. At the beginning of the establishment of "Red Star Records", in order to mobilize everyone's active surname Yang Lin, Xu Junqin and Zhao Runqin were given 10% and 5% of the shares respectively, which were originally intended to be 5% to Bao Bida, and these three people basically completed the core of "Red Star Records", Bao Bida was responsible for record production, Zhao Runqin served as the chief agent of the artist department, and Zhao Runqin was the general manager. However, Bao Bida did not agree with Yang Lin's approach, refused to accept shares, and only accepted a fixed salary. Now of course, I regret it, every time I see Yang Lin, my eyes are full of resentment, and I regret not being at the beginning.

Looking at the soaring sales, Yang Lin couldn't help but sigh, in the era when there was no network download, it was really fucking good! It is common for singers in this period to sell double platinum and triple platinum records. But in the 21st century, the proliferation of the Internet and the rampant piracy have almost made the "platinum records" extinct, and even had to modify the number of "platinum records" several times.

"Recently, I am preparing to co-produce a film with Yindu Organization, and I have invested a lot. Take my portion and put it into my account. Senior brother, you also discuss it with Zhao Runqin, if you are interested, you can also get one, it is estimated that the return will not be too small. Yang Lin said casually while looking at the accounts.

Xu Junqin waved his hand: "Still discussing a fart?" I have already discussed with Fat Boy that as long as it is in the entertainment industry, where you invest, we will follow you. ”

Yang Lin smiled and said, "Believe me so much? Aren't you afraid that if you make a mistake, you will lose all your money? ”

"Investment, where is the best between? But we firmly believe that even if you miss this time, you will definitely earn it back next time. Just look at this 'Red Star Records' and that fireworks factory. You're an 'entertainment upstart', and your vision is absolutely top-notch. Xu Junqin is full of confidence.

Yu Kam-hung's fireworks factory has now become the darling of Hong Kong, and various types of song clubs and evening parties are constantly ordered, and it is often necessary to make an appointment a month in advance to get the goods, which is very popular. Yu Jinxiong is now doubling his value, holding his chest up, where is the shabby feeling down? But this person's surname is really good, and now the factory situation is very good, but he still insists that the patent in his hand must be half of Yang Lin's. You know, when he signed the contract, Yang Lin didn't want this thing at all.

Even the "gold medal barrister" Huang Ziwei couldn't believe that a small factory with hundreds of thousands of dollars would increase in value dozens of times in a few months?

"Entertainment upstart? What's that? Yang Lin noticed that the word in Xu Junqin's words was very unfamiliar.

Xu Junqin smiled: "You haven't heard of it, have you?" Now the Hong Kong media are calling it 'the upstart in the entertainment industry' and praising it. ”

Yang Lin was speechless, why do these fucking guys who have nothing to do keep giving me nicknames? What was the "Xiangjiang talent" first, then what was the "entertainment talent", and now there is a "new upstart in the entertainment industry"? However, judging from his current status and net worth, it is not too much to call him an "upstart".

In particular, this co-production with Yindu Organization can be fully released in the mainland, and it takes the form of box office sharing, which has brought too much shock to the Hong Kong entertainment industry and made countless people blush. Thinking about the myth of "Shaolin Temple", it is no wonder that some people are crazy with jealousy. (To be continued.) )
