"Yongsheng Film Company" was established last year by injecting capital into Xiang Huasheng, the younger brother of Hua Qiang, and of course, Yang Lin believes that this is the community enterprise of "New Ngee An", which is just an important way for "New Ngee An" to launder money.

Although the original intention of the establishment of "Yongsheng Film Company" may be just a window for money laundering, a series of big moves by Xiang Huaqiang and many classic films later made the name of "Yongsheng Film Company" very famous in the Hong Kong film circle.

At this time in the previous life, the prosperous market of the Hong Kong film industry was still in the hands of Golden Harvest, New Art City, Debao and other companies, Yongsheng Films, founded by Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng, was born out of thin air, joined the war circle, and signed Chow Yun-fat, Stephen Chow, Andy Lau, Jet Li The four superstars produced a series of classic films such as "Supreme", "God of Gamblers", "Truant Dragon", "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", and Hong Kong had a box office income of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in the 90s of the last century. With 250 million Hong Kong dollars created by Yongsheng, it is the last legend of the glorious era of Hong Kong cinema.

Therefore, no matter what the original intention of the Xiang brothers to enter the movie, from "Yongsheng Film Company" to "China Star", it can be seen that these two brothers have really been doing it seriously and have been doing it well.

Yang Lin looked at Liu Lan and said, "No problem." After thinking about it, he said: "Actually, Xiang Tai probably doesn't know me too well, I love movies, and I love Chinese movies even more." So in my theater, whether it's you Xiang Tai or a poor graduate of a film school, as long as you have a good work, I will show it to you. If your film is better than mine, then I will schedule you better than mine. ”

It's not that he doesn't know that this is a good opportunity to sell face, as long as he pats the ** and says, "You have a word to Huaqiang, so that you can make it!" "Then even if you give Xiang Huaqiang enough face, Xiang Huaqiang will definitely be rewarded at the moment of imprisonment. But Yang Lin didn't want to do that. In any case, Xiang Huaqiang or Xiang Huasheng is still the Chen Lan in front of them, they still make great strides forward in the most difficult period of Hong Kong films, and they stand up to the darkest and most depressed period of Hong Kong films, Yang Lin admires.

In the face of the people he admires, he wants to make the relationship between the two pure. It's not just Xiang Huaqiang and his wife, it's the same for everyone, as long as you make a movie well, I will give you a chance.

Why did you desperately take out all your belongings to build a theater? Other cinemas only show their own films, or have their own investment in movies, because there are theaters, which can maximize profits. Golden Harvest is like this, Princess Jin is like this, Shaw Brothers used to be like this, and all theaters are like this. I can shoot how I can make money, it doesn't matter if I shoot well or badly, anyway, I have a theater chain, and I can't lose anywhere. As a result, the theater owner's own bad films can be released, and the really good films are thrown into the corner.

Why have Hong Kong films fallen? This is the main reason. Competition is what leads to progress, and when competition has been distorted to a level that is extremely unfair, it is not competition. In the end, I hit my right hand with my left hand, and it won't hurt no matter how I fight, so there will be no competition.

Chen Lan was a little surprised, glanced at Hua Qiang, and said to Yang Lin, "Do you really think so?" Hehe, I don't disbelieve you, but this will make a lot less money. She has never dealt with Yang Lin, and her impression of Yang Lin is only occasionally mentioned to Huaqiang, and she has no deep understanding.

Yang Lin smiled, not surprised by Liu Lan's questioning, because eight out of ten people would not believe it. "There is a person named Liu Guanwei, who was originally from Jiahe. This guy has a script, it's a zombie movie, Zou Wenhuai said that this thing doesn't work, and he refuses to invest. Later, this Liu Guanwei found me, I read the script and thought it was good, I asked for money for money, I asked for people to give people, and when I was painting, my theaters were all released. ”

Xiang Huaqiang and his wife listened quietly, not knowing why Yang Lin was talking about this, it seemed to be a bit off-topic.

Yang Lin took a sip of tea and continued: "I want to tell filmmakers in Hong Kong through this incident that I don't care if you are famous or not, as long as you have a good story and have the ability to make it well, I will support you." There is no money to invest, come to me; If you don't have the ability to make it, come to me; Don't have the ability to publish, come to me. As long as you have a good movie, then it doesn't matter what the problem is, come to me. I don't want to be a savior, I can't do the absolute fairness I promised, no way, we don't have a sound system and laws. What to do? Only with my eyes, I also believe in my eyes, I think it is a good film, I will support it, spare no effort to support. ”

Yang Lin had never said such a thing in front of anyone, because he knew that there was no need to say it, and some things were for everyone to see with their eyes. But today he said it because he wanted Xiang Huaqiang's support. In Hong Kong, the energy of the Xiang family is too huge, and it is not too good to get Xiang Huaqiang's support or help.

Xiang Huaqiang held a cigar in his mouth, noncommittal.

Chen Lan's eyes lit up. Why did she encourage the Xiang brothers to step into the film industry? Finding a way to launder money for the family is one thing, but more importantly, she, like the Xiang brothers, loves movies! Just look at Xiang Huaqiang's role as an underworld boss later, and countless times in movies to know how much this guy likes to make movies.

Chen Lan sat next to Xiang Huaqiang, smiled and asked Yang Lin a question: "But after all, you want to make money, and you can't do anything without money." The blockbuster movies are all funny films, but the good movies that win awards are not popular, if you really only show those good films, you still have to pay for death? ”

Yang Lin smiled and shook his head: "No, there is a misunderstanding in your statement. The definition of a good film is not whether it can win awards, let alone whether it can make money. What does a good movie mean? As long as it can bring progress to the production of the film itself, provide a positive impetus for the development of society, and resonate in the depths of people's hearts, as long as one of these aspects meets the requirements, it is considered a good movie. The quality of a movie is not divided by the subject matter. A comedy, as long as it makes everyone laugh, it is a good film, do you have to dig deep into the so-called connotation and make a fart? ”

Xiang Huaqiang, who had not spoken, suddenly interjected: "You told us so much, why?" ”

Yang Lin glanced at him and said with a smile: "Because I think it's necessary." ”

Chen Lan's delicate eyebrows furrowed: "What do you mean?" ”

Yang Lin thought for a while, considered the sentence, and said: "The purpose of your entry into the film industry, I know it even if I don't say it." I'm not a good citizen, and I'm not a defender, and I don't care if you're breaking the law. But what I want to say is, don't look so close, look farther, be more open-minded, and be more courageous. What is the annual production of movies in Hollywood? At least dozens of times that of Hong Kong! Let's not say that Hong Kong films are much worse than Hollywood, just in terms of influence in Asia, we are no worse than Hollywood, Taiwan, Yuben, South Korea, Nanyang, Hong Kong films are very popular. If we run this huge market well, how much revenue will we have? Boss, don't just focus on fighting and killing, only focus on immediate interests. Times are different, now you rely on fighting and killing, what will you do after 97? **Initiate ruthlessly, you won't even have roots left! Think about it, I have a theater chain, I have the ability, you have the power, you have the funds, let's join forces, who in Hong Kong can resist? Who in Taiwan can resist? When the time comes, you can still wash the money for a fart, and you can ask all your younger brothers to go to the movie! ”

Xiang Huaqiang smiled: "You want to partner with me?" "What a ghost this kid is, has you taken a fancy to the new Ngee An in my hand?

Yang Lin laughed and said, "What are you kidding? I don't want to join the black. Society. ”

Xiang Huaqiang said unhappily: "Black. What's wrong with society? Do you believe Lao Tzu's words that you can't stay in Hong Kong for even half a day? ”

Yang Lin shook his head: "Don't believe it, why don't you try?" "He knows that Xin Ngee An has this ability, if nothing else, you can't stand being disturbed by dozens or hundreds of people every day, and the police can still follow you to protect you every day? But he didn't believe that Xiang Huaqiang would do this, which was inconsistent with the Xiang family's current route.

"Hehehe" Xiang Hua forced a smile: "Do you know how many years no one has dared to provoke me so much in person?" ”

"It's not a provocation," Yang Lin smiled: "I know you won't do that, because you also know that the times are different, and the era of fighting and killing is long gone." In these years, everything is about money, and it is not a year when righteousness is the first thing. Everything is interests, your own interests, the interests of your younger brother, the interests of the community, who will mix with you without interests? ”

"Since you don't want to partner with us, how can we join forces?" Chen Lan looked at Yang Lin with interest.

"It's very simple, I'll do the movie, and you guys will maintain order." Yang Lin said.

Let Yang Lin come to make a movie, Chen Lan understands, they just need to take out the money to invest. But "what order is maintained?" ”

Yang Lin sighed: "Of course, it is the order of the film industry. The Four Seas Gang's move this time makes me very worried, which shows that Taiwan's associations have set their sights on the big fat meat of Hong Kong movies. It's not just you who can see the huge benefits here. Once those unruly people come in, it will make a mess of the water, and then the film company will be messed up, the actors will be messed up, the theater chain will be messed up, and Hong Kong movies will be completely messed up. No one runs this big market, everyone just wants to get a ticket and leave, we dare to assert that within ten years, Hong Kong movies will be completely finished. At that time, Hong Kong movies will change from a fragrant dumpling to an old lady's footcloth. It's not okay to play around without rules, and it's even worse if no one plays. As long as Taiwan's associations enter Hong Kong films, no one can stop all this. ”

Xiang Huaqiang shook his head and said: "You want me to go toe-to-toe with the entire Taiwanese underworld for the sake of Hong Kong's movies?" You think I'm stupid, I can't do this, I can't do it! ”

No matter how strong New Ngee An is, it is impossible to confront the entire Taiwan underworld. What's more, it is impossible for him to be selfless enough to stand out for others. What does it have to do with me?

Yang Lin picked up the remaining half of the cigar and took a deep breath. Silently, he organized the language: "This world is not pure black, and it is lonely and yin; Pure white is not good, Duyang is not long, and the harmony of yin and yang is the king. When one day, you Xiang Huaqiang becomes the patron saint of the entire Hong Kong movie, how much do you say it is worth looking forward to? ”

Xiang Huaqiang smiled and said, "Dream, no one can reach that level." ”

Yang Lin said in a deep voice: "One person is definitely not good, but what about a group of people, an association?" ”

Xiang Huaqiang frowned and said puzzledly: "What do you mean?" ”

Yang Lin thought for a while and said, "If this is the case, if I entrust my company to your name, will Taiwan give face?" Will Hong Kong's associations save face? ”

Xiang Huaqiang said proudly: "Nonsense! With the whole Taiwanese black. It is impossible to do the right thing, but who dares to move the people I follow? ”

"So, everyone looks, wow, Boss Xiang is very good**, no one in Yang Lin dares to move, so what should they do? They will run and say, "Boss, cover me!" Your name to the boss is here, and no one dares to move the people you cover, and those who are not your cover will be tragic. So, in the end, everyone will run over! The more Yang Lin spoke, the more excited he became, and his brain turned quickly: "It is impossible for one person to resist the entire black. Dao, that's true. But when the whole of Hong Kong feels an urgent crisis, then this kind of self-protection will make everyone twist into a rope and unite, and we will take the opportunity to create an organization like the 'Hong Kong Performing Artists Association', and everyone will join it. At that time, it will not be you to the boss alone to resist the Taiwanese black. Dao, but everyone comes together to resist, you are just standing at the front. ”

Xiang Huaqiang was stunned.

Chen Lan's Danfeng eyes were full of brilliance, and she looked at Yang Lin incredulously.

If there is such a day, Xiang Huaqiang is the godfather of the Hong Kong entertainment industry! At least nominally.

Yang Lin had never thought of this idea, just as he spoke, the inspiration in his head came. And he is not afraid that Xiang Huaqiang will really rule the Hong Kong entertainment industry, because Yang Lin also has a representative of the Chinese side behind him, Zhou Yan, who will soon become the director of the Hong Kong branch of Huaxin Service, and the future governor of Hong Kong who is destined to be tied to Yang Lin in the chariot.

Everything will not be out of Yang Lin's control, Xiang Huaqiang is just the person standing in front. But even so, for Xiang Huaqiang, for the Xiang family, and for the entire New Ngee An, there will be immeasurable qualitative changes. At that time, he Xiang Huaqiang was the most dazzling "godfather" in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, no matter what party he was, he would only try to recruit appeasement, because his influence at that time was amazing.

By unifying the various forces of Hong Kong film by Xiang Huaqiang, Yang Lin secretly integrated to rule Hong Kong, conquer Asia, and challenge Hollywood. Thinking about it, Yang Lin felt his blood boiling, and this path would definitely work.

Xiang Huaqiang was also enthusiastic. Although he was born in black. Taoist family, but he hates this identity. He wants to stand glamorously in front of the public, he wants to live in the sun, so he wants to enter the film industry, and he doesn't want people to think of his club background when they mention the name "Xiang Huaqiang".

Chen Lan's heart was agitated, looking at Yang Lin and Xiang Huaqiang with a longing face, and muttered, "This idea is really crazy!" (To be continued.) )
