"Old Monster Xu! Nansheng! ”

Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng left in a bad mood, Huang Baiming hurriedly chased out of the struggle room, and returned alone after a while, full of loss.

Shi Tian waved his hand: "Baiming, you don't need to be annoyed, the iron-clad battalion soldiers, they are not as good as us, just leave if you like, anyway, there are only three of us in the original Xinyi City." ”

"I'll go first, too!" Teddy Luo Bin, who had been silent, stood up, "Don't look for me about making movies in the future, I'm only responsible for Xinyibao." ”

Huang Baiming didn't even scream this time, and watched Teddy Luo Bin leave. No matter how he called people, Shi Tian said that kind of thing!

Huang Baiming holds 9% of the shares, Shi Tian holds 19%, and the remaining 72% of the shares are held by Cineplex Film Co., Ltd., while Golden Princess Entertainment Co., Ltd. holds 51% of the shares and Mecca 49%. This kind of shareholding structure ensures that the golden princess has absolute control over the new art city.

To put it simply, Mecca, Shi Tian and Huang Baiming are all shareholders of Xinyicheng, Zeng Zhiwei, Xu Ke, Shi Nansheng, and Teddy Luo Bin are just wage earners, and they can't be regarded as senior wage earners.

As the old saying goes, it is easy to share hardships and hardships, and it is difficult to share wealth and wealth, and this is the case with New Art City. At the beginning of its establishment, everyone was still able to unite and start a business together. After a series of dazzling results, the problem comes in the face of profit distribution. The quarrels continued, and in the end, Zeng Zhiwei took the lead in leaving Taiwan, Teddy Luo Bin focused on music, Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng set up a film studio, Mecca and Shi Tian speculated in stocks and real estate**, and only one Huang Baiming was still struggling to support.

Now it's okay, Zeng Zhiwei helped Hong Jinbao to engage in Debao, Xu Keshi Nansheng joined Dark Horse International in a negative mood, Teddy Luo Bin made it clear that he was only responsible for Xinyibao, and Xinyicheng returned to the appearance of the three giants in the past. It's just that today's Big Three are not as ambitious as they were at the beginning.

Seeing Huang Baiming's solemn expression, Shi Tian said with relief: "Baiming, you don't have to worry. Let me tell you, this Christmas will belong to our new art city, and there is nothing to worry about what Golden Harvest Shaw Brothers is. ”

"Is there anything I don't know?"

Shi Tian and Mecca looked at each other and smiled, and the latter said; "Do you know the movies that come out on Christmas?"

Shaw Brothers released "The Love of People and Ghosts" directed by Chen Ping'an, which is basically known to Hong Kong people. Although the director and the male and female protagonists of this film are all Hong Kong people, it cannot change the fact that "Ghost Love" belongs to Western films. The market for Western films in Hong Kong has always been very small, even if Chen Ping'an once again used the scandal to promote it, and added the gimmick of simultaneous global release, but in the eyes of Mecca and Shi Tian, it can't make any waves in Hong Kong.

Even though it is a big hit at the box office abroad, the Hong Kong box office is ...... Hmph, in Hong Kong, have Western films had a box office of tens of millions!

As for Jiahe, Zou Wenhuai didn't know which tendon was wrong in his head, and what was released was actually a psychedelic zombie movie. is still a little-known little director like Liu Guanwei, directed "Mr. Zombie", with an average cast, no big cast, an initial investment of 4.5 million, and it took 120 days to complete the intermittent filming. During this period, additional investment was made, and in the end, 8.5 million yuan was spent.

According to the news from within Golden Harvest, He Guanchang and Hong Jinbao predict that this film will sell 6 million at most. originally wanted to release it in Taiwan first to test the box office, but later for some reason, Zou Wenhuai suddenly overrode public opinion and decided to release "Mr. Zombie" in all cinemas under Golden Harvest on the Christmas schedule. In two days, this psychedelic zombie film should be released.

In the eyes of Mecca and Shi Tian, these two films simply do not have the conditions to compete with "Happy Land", let alone compete for the box office championship. So this year's Christmas is destined to belong to the new art city!

Huang Baiming's mind is not here, he is thinking about a question: love ghost film? Psychedelic zombie movies? Is there a connection between the two, and Zou Wenhuai's change of mind is related to Chen Ping'an?

His guess was right, the reason why Zou Wenhuai decided to release "Mr. Zombie" on Christmas was precisely because Chen Ping'an tried his best to build yì.

At this moment, Golden Harvest is also talking about the movie "Mr. Zombie".

"Mr. Chow, the premiere of "Mr. Zombie" has been arranged, and it will be at 7 p.m. in two days at the Tsim Sha Tsui Marine Cinema." He Guanchang sat opposite Zou Wenhuai and said.

"I don't have to worry about you. Have all the invitations been sent? ”

"They all sent it, and they all said they would be on time."

"Did Dark Horse International send it over there?"

"Deliver it over there?"

"So you haven't delivered it yet?" Zou Wenhuai sat up straight, "Lao He, let me emphasize to you again, we and Dark Horse International are not enemies. ”

"But it's not a friend either." Liu Lianghua on the side quipped, "They are not qualified." ”

Zou Wenhuai looked at her, shook his head and said, "What if they eat Shaw Brothers Cinemas?" ”

Liu Lianghua and He Guanchang were stunned at the same time: "They don't have this strength!" ”

"No strength? Lao He, let me ask you, when did we enter the United States? What about Chen Ping'an? His Dark Horse International has only been established for a year, and he dared to invest $10 million to film in the United States, and he also won the simultaneous world premiere...... The afterlife is terrifying! ”

He Guanchang asked unconvinced: "He is not greedy enough to swallow an elephant!" ”

The outside world has always believed that Chen Ping'an's filming of "Ghost Love" mobilized all the funds of Dark Horse International and raised two million US dollars, which was a big gamble. He Guanchang also thinks so, he thinks that Chen Ping'an's move is very wrong, running a company is not gambling, I haven't seen many independent film companies fail to invest in a movie, and finally have to close down!

"You think he's gambling too? So why did he gamble? ”

Liu Lianghua's eyes lit up: "Is it to buy Shaw Brothers Cinemas?" What a bold and ambitious offspring! ”

"Go Lao He, remember to make up the invitation to Dark Horse International. People don't forget us when they hold premieres, so we can't be too petty, right? ”

He Guanchang left thoughtfully, Liu Lianghua closed the door and asked, "Do you think that "Human and Ghost Love" will be successful?" ”

"I think there's a very good chance of success, and I hope he does."

"I'm asking about the Hong Kong box office, and the box office of Western films has always been average."

"Didn't Oriental Daily say that Chen Ping'an is a man who is good at creating miracles?"

"You believe that too, don't you? "Mr. Zombie" was originally going to be screened in Taiwan, but then he came to you, and the two of you talked for a long time in the office, and then you decided to release it on Christmas, and he persuaded you to change your mind, right? ”

Zou Wenhuai did not deny it: "Although he is young, he is as particular as me." I lent him a million dollars, and as a thank you, he told me that "Mr. Zombie" would be a success, and that it would be better to schedule it for Christmas. ”

"What if it fails?"

"Failure?" Zou Wenhuai smiled, smiling like an old fox, "Mr. Zombie" and "Ghost Love" will always be a success, right?" ”

"Mr. Zombie" succeeded, "Ghost Love" failed, and Golden Harvest made a steady profit; "Mr. Zombie" failed, "The Love of People and Ghosts" was successful, Chen Ping'an owed Zou Wenhuai a favor, and Golden Harvest could let him help Cheng Long enter the American market; If both films are successful, then everyone will be happy; If it fails...... There is only a 1 in 4 chance.

With a chance of winning as high as seventy percent, what reason does Zou Wenhuai have not to gamble?

……

Ocean Cinema is Golden Harvest's leading cinema and is located on Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui. At seven o'clock in the evening of December 12, the premiere ceremony of "Mr. Zombie" produced by Golden Harvest was held at the Maritime Cinema.

As one of the largest film companies in the Hong Kong film industry, Golden Harvest held a premiere on a very grand scale, with stars from all walks of life, celebrities and ladies from all walks of life gathering, just to interview these celebrities, all newspapers will send elite soldiers to come, not to mention the premiere of "Mr. Zombie", which is known as the first phantom zombie film.

Chen Ping'an came relatively late. He had just returned from the United States and had been very busy for the past two days. Fortunately, the company is not large, and with Ye Zhiming's help to take care of it, Chen Ping'an left Hong Kong for two months, and Dark Horse International is still operating normally.

In the past two days, he has been mainly busy arranging next year's work. With the establishment of Dark Horse Cinemas, next year will be a year for Dark Horse International to take off, and the first task is to ensure that the cinema chain has sufficient resources. He can take reform measures to attract some small and medium-sized independent film companies in Hong Kong to cooperate with the film source, but Dark Horse International must launch its own films, and adhere to the consistent boutique line, and maintain the reputation and brand of Dark Horse International.

In the past year, Shang Ge Yunton, who has been concentrating on honing his acting skills, has made great improvements, and Chen Ping'an plans to shoot three movies for him tomorrow, as Shang Ge Yunton's trilogy to enter Hollywood. So he won't make movies in Hong Kong next year, and he will have to rely on Wu Yusen, Wang Jing and Kwan Jinpeng, three directors with very different styles, to provoke the dark horse international beam.

The day after returning to Hong Kong, Chen Ping'an called the three of them to the office and directly told them that in the first half of next year, the company will set up its own cinema chain, and they don't have to be tied up like this year, and they can make movies. Then ask the three of them who has a ready-made notebook in their hands.

Wu Yusen plans to shoot "The True Color of Heroes 2", and the script is in the works. Guan Jinpeng has a ready-made book in his hand, which he received, the name is "Underground Love", and he likes it very much. Chen Ping'an knew about this movie, took the book and looked at it, and directly threw it back to Guan Jinpeng, telling him that the script of Dark Horse International in the future must be a storyboard script, and it must be done carefully, and it is never allowed to make a rough idea casually, and then write it while filming during filming.

Wang Jing's script was written by himself, Chen Ping'an took it and took a look, and almost didn't spray it! The absolute salty and wet film is still like people and ghosts, the plot is thin and weak, and there is no artistry at all, completely relying on that aspect is completely inspired by "People and Ghosts Are Not Over", relying on people and ghosts to attract the audience.

Chen Ping'an had a black line in his head, confiscated the script, and then told Wang Jing very strictly, next year will be very critical to Dark Horse International, and this type of movie will not be made for the time being. Let Wang Jing either write the script by himself or collect it, the price is easy to say, the key is that the script should be good.

The preparation of the three made him feel Alexander, but Xu Ke's joining greatly reduced the pressure on him, especially Shi Nansheng also joined Dark Horse International. To be honest, at present, his interest in Shi Nansheng is far more than Xu Ke.
