Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun, the two bigwigs in the film industry, were "chatting" on the side, and Xiang Huasheng, who was sitting in front of them, was cautiously talking to Shao Daheng in a low voice. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Sixth uncle, what do you say is the purpose of Chen Xiaotang calling everyone to a meeting this time?" Xiang Huasheng asked.
Shao Daheng smiled, "You should know this better than me...... What's been the biggest sensation in Hong Kong lately? ”
Xiang Huasheng pretended to be surprised, "You mean... What about the Tseung Kwan O land? ”
Shao Daheng was noncommittal.
Xiang Huasheng continued: "Could it be that Chen Xiaotang really wants to swallow this piece of land and build a cinema in one bite?" ”
Shao Tycoon: "After all, he is a young man, and he has this ambition!" ”
I don't know if it's appreciative or sarcastic.
Xiang Huasheng heard such words and said with a smile: "Anyone will have ambitions, but there are also stories of ant functions that are beyond their strength." ”
Shao Daheng smiled: "Are you envious, or jealous?" ”
Xiang Huasheng: "I'm just judging things by facts. ”
Shao Tycoon: "Then do you think the 100 cinemas he created in the mainland are considered successful?" ”
Xiang Huasheng choked for a moment, you must know that Chen Xiaotang's mainland plan has made several dramas of Magic Shadow Entertainment, including the previous "Jingwu Hero" and the recent "Uncle" and "Infernal Affairs", all collect nearly 100 million yuan over there, can you say that he is not successful?
When many Hong Kong directors and big bosses in Hong Kong have not seen the market value of the mainland, they have become the first people to eat crabs, doesn't this prove the shrewdness and toughness of the other party? !
"Even if it's successful so far? Often walking by the river, how can he not get his feet wet, he Chen Xiaotang wants to bid for the Tseung Kwan O land to build a cinema, and he also needs to weigh his strength, after all, his total worth is only 300 million, so drizzle, what can he do? Xiang Huasheng sneered.
Shao Daheng glanced at Hua Sheng deeply: "A person can be proud and complacent, but he must not be jealous!" ”
Xiang Huasheng: "I...... When was jealousy? ”
Shao Tycoon asked rhetorically, "No?" ”。
Xiang Huasheng was stunned and said, "I'm sorry." Sixth uncle, I'm just ......"
Shao Daheng stopped him. "You remember, although pride is harmful, it can make you look down on the enemy so that you don't be afraid, and complacency is harmful. But it can give you enough confidence to meet all challenges. But jealousy can only make you mess up and make fatal decisions! ”
Under Shao Daheng's deep gaze, Xiang Huasheng had to give in: "I understand." Sixth uncle, thank you for your advice. ”
While everyone was talking like this, the meeting had already begun. I saw Chen Xiaotang appear.
"I'm sorry I'm late." Chen Xiaotang apologized as soon as he entered the door, and everyone noticed that he seemed to be holding a large map in his hand.
Really. After a brief greeting to everyone, Chen Xiaotang said, "Please allow me to hang up this map first." ”
Then he beckoned the people next to him and hung the map, and when everyone looked at it, it was a map of the topography of Tseung Kwan O.
"Maybe when you see this, you can understand what I'm trying to say today; Yes, it's about the Tseung Kwan O land. Chen Xiaotang said, "I have roughly calculated, no matter who of us here, wants to swallow this land alone." There are huge risks. Especially in terms of funds, the follow-up funds are heavy, and no one can afford it. ”
"So, I thought, why don't we all join forces to develop this land? Unite as one to break the gold. And it can reduce the risk, why not?! ”
After Chen Xiaotang finished speaking, everyone was dumbfounded, and the big guy considered all possible factors. But no one expected that Chen Xiaotang would gather everyone this time to work together!
You know, every opportunity here is a competitor. or have deep grievances, such as Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, New Art City and Golden Harvest, Yongsheng and Magic Shadow, everyone is not on the right path, and now Chen Xiaotang whimsically wants to gather the five major film companies to work together, which is really a bit fantastical!
The first to stand up and oppose it was Yongsheng Xiang Huasheng.
"Haha, this suggestion is really special and unique. It's especially funny, unique and fun! Everyone knows that Tseung Kwan O is going to build a cinema, why should we build a cinema? It is to expand its own film and television base, why expand the base, is to be able to win in the competition...... Now, you're asking us to join forces, so I want to ask, if the studio is built, who will take the lead? Is it our Eternal Prosperity, or are we your Shadow? ”
Everyone else also looked at Chen Xiaotang to see how he answered.
Chen Xiaotang smiled and said, "Having said that, we should look at the problem more far-reaching...... What are we filming for? Engage in art and make money? In this case, why should we care about the name of who is big and who is small, as long as the studio belongs to everyone, we can work together and develop together, isn't it better? ! ”
"That's a good point! Develop together, there is no such good thing in this world, as the saying goes, horses have no night grass and no fat, people have no foreign wealth and no wealth, Tseung Kwan O This piece of land, we Yongsheng is determined to win! Xiang Huasheng said it directly.
Chen Xiaotang sneered: "Determined to win? This is exactly what the British government in Hong Kong wants to see, we big guys fight to the death, and you can make the profit. Since everyone's money is not blown by the wind, it is all hard-earned money, so why compete with each other to cheapen outsiders?! ”
Chen Xiaotang's words were asked by everyone present.
Yes, everyone is not a fool, they knew about the hidden "conspiracy" of the British government in Hong Kong for a long time, but for their own selfish interests, everyone did not say it. But now, Chen Xiaotang has directly revealed, so far, what else is there to play? !
Seeing that everyone seemed to be a little less "angry", Chen Xiaotang continued: "For a long time, Hong Kong has been known as the Hollywood of the East, and our film output even surpassed that of India and other regions for a time, known as the place with the largest output. However, because our Hong Kong filmmakers have inherited the common disease of their ancestors, they like to attack each other and intrigue with each other, so that they can only huddle here and fight all along, but they can't develop into a broader space outside. ”
"I believe that all of you have a Hollywood dream, and I hope that one day your company can expand to the outside world with pride, so that all Chinese people in the world can watch the movies made by your company, and let those Hollywood ghosts who think they are superior also cheer for our films. But this dream is so fragile and thin, and our original strength is full of energy. It's all exhausted in the infighting, we no longer have the courage, we no longer have the sharpness, we only hope that we can be our own soil emperor here, and then get drunk and dream to death. Die ...... this."
"Do you want that?" Chen Xiaotang suddenly raised his voice. Asked in a loud voice.
Everyone felt that their hearts were beaten hard by Chen Xiaotang's words.
yes, do you want to live by deceiving yourself like this?
He may be the king of the Hong Kong film industry, but outside, in front of Hollywood. Maybe I'm not even a fart!
"Now the opportunity is in front of all of us...... Chen Xiaotang continued, "we can completely let go of all our personal grudges, and the four major film companies will join forces to integrate all our resources, then." We're going to be a huge corporation of steel, strong enough to compete with Hollywood! ”
Chen Xiaotang was full of passion and said loudly, and a ray of sunlight shone on his body through the curtain of the conference room, plating him with a layer of tall golden light.
Shao Brothers Shao Tycoon, Lei Juekun of New Art City, as well as Jiahe Zou Wenhuai and Yongsheng Xiang brothers, etc., were all shocked by Chen Xiaotang's fierce words.
Chen Xiaotang said. It's not that none of them haven't thought about it, but they all think it's ridiculous, the big guys have been fighting for so many years, so it may be said that cooperation is cooperation. It's too little for a kid to play at home.
Silence.
After Chen Xiaotang's passionate speech, there was surprisingly silence.
Everyone was silent. It seems that each has something on his mind, thinking about something.
Suddenly, the people of Yongsheng couldn't help it.
To be honest, Xiang Huasheng had already seen Chen Xiaotang unpleasant. Oh my god, what do you think of yourself? Jesus, so great, want the big guys to join forces to build a studio, I'll go to you big watermelon!
Xiang Huaqiang didn't expect the little guy to jump out again so impulsively, and said in his heart, didn't you see that there are a bunch of old foxes here, you jumped out to die? ,!
It's a pity that Xiang Huasheng's jealousy dominated, and he sneered without giving Chen Xiaotang any face: "It's better to say than to sing, if everyone can really join forces, you don't need to be noisy here." Now we all compare the strength, who has the strength, who will win the land, who has the strength, who will dominate the market, such a simple competition mechanism, you don't even understand, I don't know how you sat in today's position! ”
Then seeing that everyone didn't speak, Xiang Huasheng said to Xiang Huaqiang: "Tenth brother, needless to say, we will waste time if we stay here any longer, let's go!" With that, he got up and left.
"Ah Sheng!" Xiang Huaqiang shouted from behind, and then apologized to everyone: "I'm sorry, the young man is a little young and vigorous!" After saying that, he got up and left.
When he came outside, he saw Xiang Huasheng waiting for him, so he scolded: "You are too unreasonable, why were you so impulsive just now, not like you at all!" ”
Xiang Huasheng smiled gloomily: "Tenth brother, don't be angry, I did it on purpose, then Chen Xiaotang dominated the entire venue from the beginning, if I didn't do this, I would be restrained by him, now you see, we take the lead, and those old guys will disband together." ”
"How so?" Xiang Huaqiang was puzzled.
"The reason is simple, they are all too old, they have long lost that adventurous spirit, and what they are best at is to follow the rules." Xiang Huasheng smiled.
Sure enough, as expected.
After the Xiang brothers left, the entire venue was immediately deserted.
The first to get up and leave was Lei Juekun, the tycoon of Xinyi City, who said coldly: "Let me think about this matter again!" "Leave.
Then there was Jiahe Zou Wenhuai, he smiled and said to Chen Xiaotang: "Young man, he has good courage and great ambition, but although the plan is good, whether it can be implemented is the key!" After speaking, he patted Chen Xiaotang on the shoulder and left.
