Chapter 72: First encounter with Yang Ziqiong
PS: Thanks mamingzhi dude!!
Faintly, Yang Lin felt a little different. According to common sense, those reports in the previous life, there is no shortage of media with strong professional surnames, and it is unlikely that 9:7018 will be directly omitted to 9:7. So, is the world different?
This worry was quickly washed away by great joy. When Mak Yonghao showed him the list of transactions and the number of bank account balances, Yang Lin, who was a two-year-old man and had a firm will, also felt that the blood flow accelerated due to the rapid beating of his heart, and he was feverish.
Each point is one dollar, rising from 9:7 to 7:8, a total of 19,000 points, a total of 440 standard contracts, a total of 8.36 million US dollars, according to the current exchange rate of 1 to 7.8, that is, more than 60 million.
It's the eighties! Not the 21st century of soaring prices and inflation! What is the concept of 60 million? A mansion in Deep Water Bay is about 100 million; Now Xiangjiang's movies generally invest five or six million to make a big production, or even three or five hundred thousand yuan can make a good film.
He had never imagined how much profit he could make from this opportunity. Now being hit on the head by a gold bar made him feel a little dizzy for a while.
Sixty million! If the capital is more, can you buy Shaw Brothers Cinemas? Yang Lin immediately shook his head. It's not a question of whether it's enough, but whether Shao Yifu sells it or not.
At that time, Li Xiaohe founded TVB, with the support of the British-funded giant HSBC and Hutchison & Co., and in order to gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry, he invited his friend Run Run Shaw to participate in the shares. As an entertainment tycoon, Run Run Shaw realized early on that the future of the TV industry must be extraordinary, so he began to tilt the focus of Shaw Brothers' business to the TV station, continuously invested in the acquisition of TVB's equity, and used Shaw Brothers' film and star resources to strengthen cooperation with TVB.
Lee Hsiao-wo died, HSBC, Hutchison & Co. and another British-funded company had no intention of sending someone into the ownership, Run Run Shaw was the largest private shareholder, successfully became the owner of TVB, became the new chairman of the board of directors, in the 70s, because he was not the owner of TVB, Shaw Brothers could still focus on films, and now he is the owner of TVB, Shaw Brothers naturally runs the TV station with all his might, and has no time to take care of the ever-changing film industry. At this time, the Shaw Brothers studio in Clear Water Bay was mostly rented to TVB to shoot TV series.
But even so, Shao Yifu is still inseparable from the "Shaw Brothers", because that is the hard work of him and his brother for many years, how can he let it go down the drain?
Only when Shao Yifu realizes the dilemma will he break his arm and sell Shaw Brothers Cinemas. Obviously, the current Shao Yifu is far from that extent.
What Yang Lin can do is to try to prepare as much as possible and wait for the day when Shao Yifu "breaks his wrist". In addition, he has to take precautions and start acquiring those reading theaters and small theater chains that he intends to sell. Once it can take over the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line in the future, it will form a sweeping super cinema chain and dominate Hong Kong!
——————
Yang Lin is now a veritable multi-millionaire, but the rules of life have not changed at all. He called Pan Hengsheng and made an appointment to meet at the door of TVB, and then the two took a bus to the "Huang Helin" advertising company. The car will definitely be bought, but it is just a means of transportation, and Yang Lin will not be superficial enough to regard it as a status symbol or a standard of living.
Huang Zhan and Lin Yanni had been waiting for him for a long time, and when they saw him coming, they got up together to greet him. Huang Zhanpi smiled and said: "Heh, it's really a big director and producer, your people are busy, let me wait." ”
Although Yang Lin and Huang Zhan often quarrel, they actually have a good relationship with each other, and Huang Zhan's generation is there, so he hurriedly said: "A little private matter, it's more urgent, Uncle Zhan forgives his sins!" ”
Huang Zhan snorted, noncommittal. In fact, it was this "Uncle Zhan" that made him a little unhappy. But he couldn't let Yang Lin call him "Brother Zhan", so he had to hold his breath and keep quiet.
Lin Yanni was much more enthusiastic than Huang Zhan, and beckoned Yang Lin and Pan Hengsheng to sit down with a smile on her face, handing out cigarettes and pouring water. Huang Zhan was very angry: "Hey, you haven't treated me like this, right?" This kid belongs to a dog, and the more you pay attention to him, the more he cocks his tail! ”
Yang Lin smiled and sneered at each other: "Those who know me occupy Uncle Ye!" The two of us are really like-minded and have a good heart. ”
Lin Yanni smiled flamboyantly, glanced at Huang Zhan, and secretly felt a little strange: Huang Zhan has always been articulate, why is he always deflated in front of this Yang Lin?
As they were talking, a few more people came in from outside the door, and Huang Zhan immediately stood up with a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Ah Sheng, Ah Long, Ah Qiong, come and sit." ”
Yang Lin looked over and was stunned. These people who came are all famous figures in the future Xiangjiang entertainment industry.
The first young man was a long, handsome man with a radiant spirit. He stepped forward to hold Yang Lin's hand, and his smile made people feel like a spring breeze: "This is Mr. Yang Linyang, a great director and a great talent, right?" Hello, my name is Pan Disheng. ”
Yang Lin shook it back vigorously and said with a smile: "Don't you dare to be a big director, and you don't dare to be a big talent, Pan Gongzi is praising a little ghost in front of a true god, and he wants to push me into the pit!" ”
"Hehe," Pan Disheng also smiled: "Let you say that, Mr. Huang Zhan's qi is so small?" ”
Yang Lin nodded thoughtfully: "The hero sees the same thing. ”
Pan Di choked for a moment, I am a question sentence, okay, how did it become an affirmative sentence? Seeing Huang Zhan's calm face next to him, he hurriedly said, "Joke, joke." ”
Huang Zhan didn't seem to hear Yang Lin's words, but just greeted the beautiful woman behind Pan Disheng: "Arjun, come and sit, just got off the plane, right?" Xiangjiang is like this, cats and dogs are running all over the street, barking everywhere, not making people quiet. Hehe, just get used to it. ”
The beautiful woman is about twenty years old, slender and well-proportioned, youthful and beautiful, standing there casually, it makes people feel a vigorous heroic spirit and abundant vitality, which attracts people's attention.
Lin Yanni saw that Huang Zhan and Yang Lin began to fight with each other again, so she quickly took the beauty's little hand and introduced, "Arjun, you don't know each other yet, right?" This is the director who has been very popular in Xiangjiang recently, Yang Lin. I guess he's not as old as you, just call Alin, and be casual among young people. He said to Yang Lin again: "Ali, this beauty in front of you is the champion of the latest Miss Malaysia, Miss Yang Ziqiong, beautiful, right?" ”
How could Yang Lin not know each other? But at this time, Yang Ziqiong has just won the honor of Miss Malaysia, and she has not yet stepped into the entertainment industry. Yang Lin stretched out his hand and shook Yang Ziqiong's little hand and let it go: "Miss Yang is as beautiful as a flower, she is naturally beautiful, and standing with Mr. Pan like this, it really feels like a golden boy and a girl!" ”
Yang Ziqiong's face was slightly red, and her bright big eyes glanced at Yang Lin, secretly blaming this person for being impolite, and he was sloppy when they met for the first time. Pan Disheng was secretly happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Alin's vision is hard to get!" He was happy and came out with a local dialect.
Yang Lin looked at the last person to come in, took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand and said, "Brother Long, I'm your fan!" ”
The man laughed, stretched out his big hand and shook Yang Lin tightly, and shook it vigorously: "Ah Lin, you can make me fluttering, you kid is a big producer of Xiangjiang, how can I afford it?" ”
This person is not tall, at most in his early seventies of one meter, but he is stout and sturdy, and full of courage. A face is quite handsome, and the most striking thing is a large nose.
Of course, it's Cheng Long!
Yang Lin said that he was a fan of Cheng Long, which was really not polite. In later generations, how many people who love to watch action movies or not are not Cheng Long's fans? The total global box office of the movies he starred in alone has exceeded 20 billion yuan, and this achievement is enough to go down in history as the first Chinese actor.
A few people sat down to chat, and Yang Lin realized that it was Pan Disheng who originally named him to shoot the advertisement. And it was Cheng Long who gave him this advice,
Pan Disheng wants to shoot his own agent Guylaroche watch advertisement, the male protagonist is Jackie Chan Cheng Long, and the female protagonist is Yang Ziqiong. But there has been a lot of hesitation about the form and definition of advertising. Guylaroche is affectionately called "Ji Longxue" by Xiangjiang people, very popular, is a very high-end watch, Pan Disheng is like a little new and different from this advertisement.
Cheng Long has just watched Yang Lin's "People on the Journey" recently, and he likes the beautiful scenes in the play very much, so he vigorously wants Pan Disheng to recommend Yang Lin, and his words are even more respectful, which also arouses Pan Disheng's interest. Pan Disheng watched a few episodes by himself, and decided to find Yang Lin to shoot this advertisement.
But Yang Lin is now a celebrity of wireless and will not take on commercials easily. So Cheng Long offered another plan, he heard that Yang Lin was Gu Jiahui's disciple, so he asked Pan Disheng to find Huang Zhan's advertising company and find Yang Lin through Huang Zhan.
After listening to Pan Disheng's narration, Yang Lin muttered: "The theme of this advertisement is high-end, aesthetic and exquisite, right?" ”
Pan Disheng nodded and said, "Yes, that's about it." I don't know how long Mr. Yang needs to prepare? ”
How long do you have to prepare? Lao Tzu is worth tens of millions of dollars no matter what he says now, and he is a famous director of wireless, there are many things, where is the time to waste time on a broken advertisement? Besides, as for those advertisements on TV now, Yang Lin didn't even take a look at the **, they were all scum! Buddy crossed over, wearing a halo on his head, what else do you need to prepare for an advertisement? Immediately said: "I wonder if Brother Long and Miss Yang have time today?" ”
Pan Disheng was stunned, and subconsciously said: "There is time." ”
Huang Zhan looked displeased: "Alin, can't you kid clamp his tail?" I asked you to shoot an advertisement, did I wronged you? "Huang Zhan is really unhappy. You kid is usually a little arrogant, that's nothing, young man, where will I be as knowledgeable as you? But in front of so many people, you are so perfunctory to me, you simply don't give face.
That's right, I don't know Huang Zhan, everyone thinks that Yang Lin is perfunctory. You don't even do any preparation, you don't even have a plan or anything, what can you shoot?
Yang Lin smiled, his delicate face was full of confident smiles: "Uncle Zhan don't be impatient, give me an hour to prepare, and then an hour to shoot, if there is a person who is not satisfied with the effect, whether it is Shangri-La's Petrus Restaurant, or the Peninsula Hotel's Gidhi, I please!" After speaking, he greeted Pan Hengsheng and Lin Yanni and entered the shooting room.
Familiar with all the props and equipment of the "Huang Helin" advertising company, Yang Lin took a pen, frowned and pondered, and wrote something on the paper from time to time.
The focus of this advertisement is not on how luxurious the props are, how gorgeous the scene is, and how advanced the camera is, but on the concept and creativity. For others, props can be added, scenes can be built, and machines can be purchased, but creativity is the most nerve-wracking. But for Yang Lin, a traverser, creativity makes it the simplest. In my previous life, I was bombarded with all kinds of advertisements on TV every day, and it was hard to remember a few.
