This was the first time Li Xuan and Cai Songlin met, although the thin and tall man in front of him looked very elegant, but Li Xuan did not dare to underestimate him.

Can a guy who can open such a large private company in Taiwan, with a simple background? Even Li Xuan in Hong Kong, where the environment is slightly better, still has a little bit of the tiger skin of New Ngee An.

However, I heard that the relationship between Cai Songlin and the Xiang family is very good.

"Oh, Mr. Cai, look up for a long time!" Li Xuan shook it back gently, then stretched out his hand and smiled: "Hurry up, please come in and sit down, the humble house is shabby." ”

"Hehe, then we'll bother."

The group followed into his room, Li Guoxin deliberately slowed down and walked last, and waited for several people to walk in, before whispering to Li Xuan: "Mr. Li, I called the scholar in the morning to discuss cooperation, and casually mentioned that you were going to Taiwan in the afternoon, but I didn't expect Boss Cai to know, I have to ......."

"It's okay, anyway, if he doesn't come, I'll have to take time to visit him in Taipei in the next few days." Li Xuan waved his hand indifferently, and asked in a low voice, "By the way, did they come to Kaohsiung just to meet me?" ”

Li Guoxin was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then replied: "I heard that Boss Cai also went to meet several bosses of Xinyi City in the morning, but the conversation was not successful. ”

Not considered a success? Hearing Li Guoxin say this, Li Xuan nodded slowly, and there were points in his heart.

The golden princess behind Xinyicheng has been in Taiwan for several years, and the foundation in front has been almost laid. After the Hong Kong stock market crash, Lei Juekun estimates that he will have to establish his own cinema chain in Taiwan, so that he will not be stupid enough to run to cooperate with scholars, which will not only offend people but also do not have much benefit.

The two did not delay when they spoke. I walked a few quick steps into the room. Li Xuan just beckoned a few people to sit down. Zhong Chuhong also walked out of the bedroom and said hello to everyone, and then heard Cai Songlin say with a smile: "Cai is really envious of Mr. Li, who can always be accompanied by Miss Zhong, a beauty." ”

"Oh? How can I say with envy, aren't Mr. and Mrs. Cai also a couple. Li Xuan replied leisurely.

"Haha, what kind of beauty am I, the yellow-faced woman." Cai Songlin shook her head, looked at Li Xuan and sighed: "Mr. Li is really a masterpiece of a generation, and he has built such a large cinema line in Hong Kong in just five years." ”

watched Zhong Chuhong take the hot water kettle in the hotel and pour tea for everyone. Li Xuan took the tea and said with a smile: "What kind of person am I, I think back to when Mr. Zou Wenhuai founded Golden Harvest, he didn't only have 500,000 Hong Kong dollars in his hand, but now it seems that I am inferior to him." ”

"No, no, no, if Mr. Li goes back to more than ten years ago, he may not be worse than Mr. Zou." Cai Songlin complimented, and then smiled: "Mr. Li, this Golden Horse Awards, your "True Colors of Heroes" is very optimistic." ”

Li Xuan's heart moved slightly, and he smiled: "Ha." It's just a small fight, but it can't compare to the new art city. ”

This year's Golden Horse Awards "The True Color of Heroes" continues the glory of the Hong Kong Film Awards. There were 8 nominations. However, just like "The True Color of Heroes" met "Running to the Angry Sea" in Hong Kong, he met the god film "Taking the Wrong Car" shot by the Taiwan branch of Xinyicheng in Taiwan.

This "Taking the Wrong Car" was screened in Taiwan for four months and set a super high box office of more than NT$40 million. And it is a literary film that the judges of these film awards like very much, so it has received 10 nominations, which is much higher than the award call of "The True Color of Heroes".

"In business, artistically, "The Wrong Car" and "The True Colors of Heroes" may be indistinguishable, but ......" Cai Songlin shrugged her shoulders and continued: "But the Hong Kong box office of "The Wrong Car" is only more than 4 million Hong Kong dollars, which means that the box office of "The Wrong Car" in Hong Kong and Taiwan is only half of the Hong Kong box office of "The True Colors of Heroes". ”

Li Xuan smiled and said: "It seems that Mr. Cai is very optimistic about Hong Kong movies, by the way, I heard that Mr. Cai intends to enter the Hong Kong film market?" ”

"Hmm."

Cai Songlin nodded unabashedly and replied: "I was optimistic about Hong Kong movies when I was not a scholar, and when Deng Guangrong returned to Hong Kong to open a company, I also made a contribution in the back."

"Mr. Cai is really a discerning hero, Mr. Deng's Darong is the number one film company in Hong Kong." Li Xuan nodded in response.

Li Xuan is right, the status of Da Rong Company in Hong Kong is indeed not low.

The film companies that came over in Hong Kong in the 70s, except for a few film companies with theatrical support and Tai Rong, almost all fell silent. Siyuan, Heping and Luo Wei, the three famous film companies in the 70s, had almost no good works in the 80s. As for film companies like Binbin, which failed to manage well and went out of business, there are even more in Hong Kong.

In the past, there was still Xuan Yuan as a sole proprietorship film company on Da Rong's head, but since Li Xuan established his own theater chain, Da Rong has become one of the leaders in the sole proprietorship film company.

"Haha, Guangrong is still a little troublesome compared to Mr. Li." Cai Songlin smiled quite smugly and continued: "Actually, I also had to do it as a last resort, the congenital conditions of Taiwanese films are not good, so I have to provide funds to Hong Kong for them to make movies, and then take them back to Taiwan to boost the local market." In recent years, Hong Kong films have become more and more prosperous and influential, and I don't know how many times better than Taiwanese films. ”

Li Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he didn't answer immediately. He has read some Hong Kong entertainment books, and a big reason for the loneliness of Hong Kong movies in later generations is the mass release of bad movies, which leads to market chaos and an overall decline in the quality of movies. And the reason for the emergence of this bad movie is the influx of a large amount of Taiwanese hot money.

It seems that this Cai Songlin is estimated to be one of the hot money investors in later generations, but Li Xuan is not uncommon with his hot money.

"Taiwanese films, haven't they gradually improved since 82 years?" Li Xuan praised it around the corner.

"Hehe, Mr. Li, it's a joke, what kind of Taiwanese film New Wave or something, now we film investors just watch jokes." Cai Songlin waved her hand helplessly, and suddenly said: "Presumably Mr. Li should also know the strength of our scholars, the theaters under the names of our scholars have accounted for 30% of the entire Taipei and 20% of Taichung, and now they have begun to prepare to enter Tainan." My goal in the next five years is that scholars will account for at least 30% of Taiwan's overall film market in the future, and become the real No. 1 private sector. ”

“……”

Li Xuan was stunned when he heard this grand blueprint, and then sighed: "Mr. Cai, you really have lofty ambitions!" ”

Cai Songlin haha and continued: "What is the use of high ambition, you have to rely on action. Therefore, now the film source, especially the good film source, has become the top priority of the development of our scholars. But in the current situation, in fact, the source of the film is also a bit difficult. There are too few film sources in Taiwan, and many movies are produced by film companies like China Film that have their own distribution channels. Therefore, investing in Hong Kong films or buying films directly has become the only choice for us distributors. So Mr. Li, now that your company is cooperating with our scholars, we will definitely give you the fairest price. ”

"Haha, I believe what Mr. Cai said is true." After Li Xuan listened to Cai Songlin's words, his impression was much better, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation in the future!" ”

"Happy working together!" Cai Songlin also smiled back.

The two big bosses talked and laughed and set the tone of cooperation, and as for the rest of the specific matters, the younger brother naturally had the younger brother to discuss and agree. And after the business, the two big bosses also began to chat. This self-made Cai Songlin is a very talkative person, and he speaks quickly, and even dances when he talks about the rise, which is very different from his previous gentle and elegant image.

However, because Li Xuan and the others had just gotten off the plane and had to rush to the Golden Horse Awards in the evening, Cai Songlin didn't bother for long before leaving, and Li Guoxin also followed Cai Songlin and them to negotiate specific cooperation matters.

As for the Golden Horse Awards in the evening, there is not much to detail, but the Golden Horse hostess Tianniu surprised Li Xuan. She is an actress that Li Xuan likes very much, and Sima Sanniang in the TV series version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" impressed him very deeply. But now it seems that the sweet girl has not yet reached the level of playing the mother's generation.

And this Golden Horse Awards also surprised Li Xuan, "Taking the Wrong Car" and "The True Color of Heroes", which won the highest awards, lost to the little-known "The Story of Xiao Bi" in the best feature film. And Zhou Yunfa, who was also the best actor in "The True Color of Heroes", and Sun Yue in "The Wrong Car" had the highest voices, but in the end, it was Dillon who won the best actor with the role of "Brother Hao".

As for Li Xuan, who won the Best Original Film Music and Best Film Interlude, he also lost to the menacing "Taking the Wrong Car", which made several people in Xinyicheng happy.

After the Golden Horse Awards, Li Xuan, who originally planned to go to Taipei, also saved a trip because of Cai Songlin's visit, and returned to Hong Kong with everyone the next day.

After this guy rested at home for two days, he hurriedly gathered people to shoot "God of Gamblers". (To be continued......)
