Chapter 188 See the Jianghu Fundraising Order Again
"Jianghu Fund-raising Order, see Jianghu Fund-raising Order again! 》
This is the news on the front page of the Oriental Daily, not the entertainment headline, but the front page of the entire newspaper. The huge layout, only look at the fifteen big characters, a huge exclamation mark, as well as the logo of Dark Horse International, and the big word "Chen", like a flag, eye-catching and dazzling.
In August 1986, Xu Jinheng, Yang Zhicheng, and Lin Jianyue joined forces to enter the super new art city in a high-profile manner, and tossed the Hong Kong film industry, which almost caused anger and resentment, but one thing was affirmed by all peers - they tossed out Chen Ping'an's fund-raising order!
Chen Ping'an did not plan to engage in the second fundraising order this year, and at the premiere of "Ghost Fighting Zombies", he clearly replied to Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng. Yesterday, he called Xiang Huaqiang and informed them in advance that they were going to carry out the second fund-raising order, and Xiang Huaqiang's first reaction was that Chen Ping'an was going to launch a counterattack against the noisy Xinyi City.
As soon as the fund-raising order came out, the super new art city, which has been in the limelight recently, was immediately suppressed, and all newspapers shifted their focus to this aspect, wondering what movie Chen Ping'an is going to make this time, how much money to raise, how much box office is expected, and whether it can be as successful as last year's "People and Ghosts".
Powder has the benefits of powder, and there are many more. Just like this Jianghu fund-raising order, "Oriental Daily" exclusive news, and very detailed, in the subsequent pages, the second Jianghu fund-raising order was introduced in detail.

Next is the Oriental Daily's detailed introduction to the movie "Coming to America".
The film was launched in the United States 20 days ago, with black comedy star Eddie Murphy and Hong Kong and Taiwan popular star Lin Qingxia as the female lead. The whole film is centered on blacks and Chinese, and it caused quite a stir in the American film industry when it was launched, because there is no film in the United States yet. The main cast is made up of blacks and Chinese, and blacks are not portrayed as dirty poor...... Only the director is white.
Then give a brief introduction to the leading actors in the film one by one for the reference of various film companies, so as to decide whether it is a fundraiser or not.
The final ending is Chen Ping'an's reminder: filming is risky, and you need to be cautious in fundraising.
This time, the fund-raising order is very formal. Compared to the first time, nothing was introduced, only that the fundraising was much more detailed.
On the same day, the "Oriental Daily" was once again out of stock, although the newspaper expected that the sales would be relatively hot, and deliberately printed 30,000 copies on the basis of the usual 150,000 copies. Who wanted to sell out in just one hour, and hurriedly printed another 40,000 copies, and the sales of 220,000 copies on the same day set a new high in the history of "Oriental Daily". This has not yet met the needs of the public, and there are sales outlets urging newspapers to print more. But it was close to noon. There is no need to reprint.
There are many people who pay attention to the Jianghu fundraising order, not only insiders, but also major business elites and Hong Kong citizens.
For film companies in Hong Kong. "Ghost Love" attracted attention when the North American box office exceeded 30 million, and began to regret it when it exceeded 100 million.
In less than two years, Dark Horse International has grown from its establishment to one of the four leading film companies in Hong Kong. Shake Golden Harvest, overwhelm New Art City, and achieve a series of dazzling results. It has long attracted the attention of Hong Kong's business community.
This is a classic case of success from scratch, and there are many brilliant things along the way. Propaganda techniques, hype methods, strategic guidelines, innovation, etc. It has a reference role for many enterprises and business elites. The multiplex cinema model is one of them, which has become an innovation case for many large enterprises, especially the Jianghu fundraising order. With the Jianghu fundraising order, Dark Horse International has a strong voice in the Hong Kong film industry.
The public and many acting stars are interested in Lin Qingxia's westward entry into Hollywood. The difference is that the former is more concerned about whether Lin Qingxia can replicate Zhong Chuhong's success, and whether Chen Ping'an can make Lin Qingxia the second Zhong Chuhong to gain a foothold in Hollywood and win glory for the Chinese. And the latter is more envious, so Chen Ping'an has this courage, and Dark Horse International has this skill, pushing its popular artists to Hollywood one after another.
Some time ago, Zhong Chuhong's salary of 5 million Hong Kong dollars is still fresh in my memory, and the salaries of Lin Qingxia, Wu Mengda, Liang Jiahui, Wu Junru and others have become the object of concern for many artists. Especially Wu Junru, who has become a role model for third- and fourth-tier actors, giving people the feeling of flying into Dark Horse International and becoming a phoenix.
In addition, the citizens talked about Chen Ping'an's fundraising, because this is the only one in Hong Kong's history, it is Chen Ping'an's originality, and no one can imitate it. This not only reflects the strength of Dark Horse International, but also a manifestation of Chen Ping'an's strong self-confidence.
Looking at the Hong Kong film industry, how could the Shaw Brothers at their peak, the Golden Harvest of the times, and the new art city that has sprung up have such a mind? Before the start of filming, you decided to make a lot of money, and you also boldly shared the upcoming income with your peers?
The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. Different from the relish of the citizens, various film companies, corporate executives, and business elites have tasted the taste behind this fund-raising order.
The drama "Coming to America" has been launched in the United States, what does this mean? It shows that Dark Horse International is not bad at all, and it didn't want to issue a fundraising order at first! However, when Super New Art City was in the limelight, the purpose of the sudden release of the Jianghu fund-raising order was not clear enough? Doesn't this make it clear that the super new art city composed of Xu, Yang, and Lin is aimed at?
These people have tacitly come to a common conclusion, although they don't know how to raise $8 million this time, but there is definitely no such thing as a super new art city!
That's right, Xu, Yang, and Lin are very rich, but no one will think that there is a lot of money, and more importantly, it is a matter of face! Chen Ping'an is going to borrow the second Jianghu fund-raising order. Pour cold water on the rich trio who are ready to show their strength in the film industry!
……
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the well-dressed Yuan Jieying came to the Nathan Road Liying Building by car, looked up at the huge signboard of the Hong'an Tao Bar hanging on the second floor, and was faintly excited.
With "The Love of People and Ghosts" sweeping the world, the Hung On Tao Bar on the second floor of Nathan Lai Ying Building has become one of Hong Kong's romantic meccas. It is completely according to the set layout in "The Love of People and Ghosts". Occasionally, I will see Chen Ping'an or Zhong Chuhong. Although the price is 30% more expensive than the average pottery bar, there are still many couples who come here to make zuò pottery and record it with a camera as an eternal memory.
After foreign tourists arrive in Hong Kong, Hung An Tao Bar is also one of the must-see attractions. Especially Japanese tourists, as long as they come to Hong Kong. Be sure to go to the Hong'an pottery bar to make zuò pottery, and take pictures of the process of making zuò to enjoy the romance.
I envy Honggu!
There was a sign in front of Hong'an Tao Bar that said "Closed today", Yuan Jieying ignored it and raised her hand to knock on the door, and after a while, there was a sound of hurried footsteps inside.
Listening to the footsteps doesn't look like Brother An. Could it be the staff of Tao Bar?
The door opened quickly, and Yuan Jieying was stunned after seeing the other party clearly: "It's you?" Why are you here? ”
The people inside were also surprised: "Ah Ying? Didn't you say you were going to see your relatives in the morning? ”
Yuan Jieying received a call from Chen Ping'an yesterday afternoon, informing her to come to Hong'antao at three o'clock this afternoon. She regarded this trip to Hong'an Tao Bar as Chen Ping'an's date, dressed up very beautifully, and her mind was full of various fantasies.
Who wanted to open the door turned out to be Luo Meiwei, and Chen Jialing was also inside!
What's going on?
The three women sat around the coffee table, looking at each other. Everyone was curious about what the other two girls were here for. But he didn't dare to ask, for fear that the other party would ask back, asking himself about the purpose of coming to Taoba. They didn't dare to expose their identity as Chen Ping'an's seed.
Just sit and drink tea. No one said a word, and after ten minutes, there was movement at the door again, Chen Ping'an pushed open the door and walked in quickly, greeting as he walked: "I'm sorry three beautiful girls, I'm late." ”
"Mr. Chen!"
"Mr. Chen!"
"Brother An!"
Yuan Jieying's sentence of "Brother An" immediately attracted the surprised eyes of Luo Meiwei and Chen Jialing. She knew that she was speechless, so she simply ran over and grabbed Chen Ping'an's arm: "He is my brother." The relative I'm talking about is Brother An. ”
"Okay, there's no need to hide it at this time." Chen Ping'an pulled out his arm. Touching Yuan Jieying's head, he walked over with her in his arms, "I arranged all of you to come to Xinyi City at the beginning, sit down, let's talk slowly." ”
Both?
The three girls looked at each other, their faces stunned. During their time in Xinyicheng, they made movies together, released records together, and performed on stage together, and they got along like sisters almost day and night, but they didn't expect that even the experience of joining Xinyicheng was exactly the same.
"Brother An, do you want us to go back?" Yuan Jieying sat down next to Chen Ping'an and asked excitedly.
Chen Ping'an nodded. He asked the three girls out today just to recall his seed. But whether these three seeds are willing to go back depends on their own attitudes.
"Oh! Great, I can finally go back to Dark Horse International! Yuan Jieying happily hugged Chen Ping'an's arm, and Chen Jialing asked with a calm face: "Ah Ying, is Mr. Huang not good to you?" ”
"Mr. Huang is very good to me, but Brother An is better to me. If it hadn't been for him, I wouldn't have known where I would have been bullied! And...... Mr. Huang has left New Arts City. In the end, Yuan Jieying's voice was a little low, and it could be seen that she was also a little grateful to Huang Baiming.
Chen Ping'an patted her on the shoulder to comfort her and asked Chen Jialing, "What about you?" ”
"I'll go with Mr. Huang."
Chen Ping'an smiled and turned to Luo Meiwei, Luo Meiwei hesitated for a moment and said, "Is there no other way to solve it?" I am very grateful to Mr. Chen for giving me the opportunity in the first place, but Mr. Huang is very good to me, and I don't know what to do. ”
"Hahaha!" Chen Ping'an laughed loudly, laughing inexplicably at the third girl, "Brother Baiming, haven't you come out yet?" ”
With a squeak, the door to the Tao Bar's manager's room opened, and Huang Baiming, who was thin and tall, walked out of it, still with his trademark smile on his face. The three girls had mixed reactions when they saw him, Chen Jialing smiled, Luo Meiwei was confused, Yuan Jieying was a little embarrassed, and lowered her head and hugged Chen Ping'an's arm.
Chen Ping'an slapped Yuan Jieying's thigh twice, signaling that she didn't have to worry, and stood up with a smile and stretched out her right hand. Huang Baiming smiled at the three girls and nodded, and then clasped Chen Ping'an's hand: "Boss, you are too bad!" ”
Boss!
The three girls were shocked, looking at Huang Baiming and Chen Ping'an with wide eyes, and Luo Meiwei was even more puzzled and asked, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Huang, what are you ......?"
At noon yesterday, before Chen Ping'an called to inform the three daughters that they would meet today, he received a call from Huang Baiming, who invited him to dinner. It was precisely because of receiving a call from Huang Baiming that Chen Ping'an informed the three daughters to meet, and he thought that Huang Baiming planned to go it alone.
After meeting Huang Baiming, he realized that he had made a mistake in judgment, Huang Baiming did not want to go it alone, but planned to join Dark Horse International. After a night of chatting, Chen Ping'an finally understood the reason why Huang Baiming did this, and at the same time vaguely understood the beginning and end of the change of ownership of Xinyi City.
Huang Baiming did not want to say much about the change of ownership of Xinyicheng, only saying that Mecca and Shi Tian were the first to resell their shares, and then Lei Juekun also sold most of his shares, leaving only 9% of his own shares...... There's no point in sticking with it.
The rich trio is also exquisite, the appearance is not so ugly, and the purchase price is fair. But this incident made Huang Baiming feel the strength of industrial capital, even if the background is as profound as Jiahe, in the face of the three giants joining forces, he had to forbearance and retreat, and the new art city also changed hands.
Only Dark Horse International is not afraid, Chen Ping'an shows his sharp character and refuses to suffer, and integrates into Dark Horse International. At dinner, when he learned from Chen Ping'an that the latter was about to launch a second fund-raising order, and immediately saw the newspaper, he immediately reacted, this is Chen Ping'an's counterattack against the rich trio, and it is also the declaration of war by Dark Horse International against Super New Art City.
can have such courage, only Chen Ping'an is the only one in the entire film industry.
In order to avoid being forced by industrial capital again, and at the same time to fight back against the rich trio, he proposed to join Dark Horse International in the form of setting up a studio.
Between the words, Chen Ping'an could hear that Huang Baiming was unwilling. At the beginning, the three giants joined forces to create a new art city, and the new art city was like their child, but in the end, they were forced to transfer others, how could there be no complaints in their hearts?
Huang Baiming was willing to join, but Chen Ping'an couldn't ask for it, and then he told Yuan Jieying's three daughters about it, and Huang Baiming was dumbfounded when he heard it. In the end, he kept sighing at the depth of Chen Ping'an's city, no wonder it took less than two years to make the dark horse international business prosperous, and he dared to go-for-tat with the rich trio.
"Mr. Huang, have you really joined Mr. Chen's company?" Luo Mei asked with wide eyes.
Huang Baiming smiled and nodded: "That's right, didn't you hear me call him boss?" What about you? (To be continued) R580
