Chapter 120 Shaw Brothers Liquidation
During the Spring Festival last year, Chen Ping'an was in Taiwan and persuaded the Bamboo Union Gang and the Four Seas Gang to form Lianhai Pictures, shoot the movie "Good Boy", and met Lin Yixia. Although the process was a little unpleasant, the result was good, and the Spring Festival was spent at the Lin family.
This year's Spring Festival is coming soon, and a few days ago, Brother Xiang greeted him and asked him to come to his home for the New Year. Xiang's family is flourishing, and it is very lively during the New Year. Today, Zhang Manyu came to him, also hoping that the two could spend Chinese New Year's Eve together, and Valentine's Day, which was only a few days apart. As for Lin Qingxia, there are many elements of concern.
After he and Zhang Manyu were singled out, the two maintained a lover relationship; He and Lin Qingxia were purely overnight*, of course, there may be second, third, fourth, five, sixth, and seventh nights, but it is impossible to go further. Zhong Chuhong makes movies in the United States, and there is no Spring Festival custom in the United States; Weng Meiling is in the UK, and for some reason she has to test the relationship between the two, and it is estimated that she will not see each other in the short term; Zhou Haimei, I want to celebrate the New Year with him, but it is inconvenient for people to have families.
Going to Taiwan to celebrate the New Year with Lin Yixia is obviously the best choice. And last year, he went to Taiwan relatively rarely, and he neglected this little girl who was devoted to him, which can be regarded as compensation, and spend the Spring Festival and Valentine's Day with her to make up for it.
As for the company's affairs, with Shi Nansheng here, he can be much freer.
There are a lot of Spring Festival cocktail parties in the entertainment industry, Zou Wenhuai, Pan Disheng, Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao and others have sent invitations to the cocktail party, but unfortunately he will go to Taiwan in a few days, and the time to come back is not certain, so I can only say sorry.
In the two days before leaving, he had been accompanying Zhou Haimei. In fact, in the second half of January, except for the days when Zhong Chuhong came back, he was with Zhong Chuhong, and most of the time he was with Zhou Haimei. Zhou Haimei, who had just fallen into the hands of Chen Ping'an and was enjoying the nourishment of love, was very clingy, and he couldn't wait to open his eyes and close his eyes when Chen Ping'an was in front of him.
On February 5th, the box office of "Dao Ma Dan" has been opened up by "Rich Train" and "The Best Partner Saves the Poor Woman for a Thousand Miles", and it seems that it is a foregone conclusion to lose the box office of the Chinese New Year.
The media did not criticize Dark Horse International because the box office of "Knife Horse" was pulled away, but on the contrary, they gave high praise to "Knife Horse" and Dark Horse International.
In the 80s, Shaw Brothers martial arts films declined, but literary films have always enjoyed a good reputation, and now Shaw Brothers is likely to be liquidated, and Dark Horse International has successfully carried the banner of literary films. Up to now, there are not many films produced by Dark Horse International, and its Chinese art films account for almost half.
"Women's Heart", which has a box office of 10 million, "Ghost Love" with a box office of 40 million, and "Dao Ma Dan", which is now being released, shows that Chen Ping'an's Dark Horse International is not only pursuing commercial success, but also pursuing artistic breakthroughs. It is easy to applaud literary films, and Chen Ping'an is willing to continue to carry the banner of literary and artistic films, which has been highly affirmed by many filmmakers.
As for the news of the liquidation of Shaw Brothers, I don't know who found it out after the premiere of "Dao Ma Dan", and many professionals believe that the news is not groundless after analysis.
Dark Horse International self-organized cinema line, marking the breakup with Shaw Brothers. Without the support of the Dark Horse International Blockbuster Movie, Shaw Brothers was unable to recover. Shao Yifu's unremitting efforts to build TVB have long made insiders understand that he has shifted his focus to TV stations, isn't it a natural thing for Shaw Brothers to liquidate?
Although Fang Yihua denied this statement, it did not dispel people's suspicions that Shaw Brothers has been a little panicked recently, and some experts pointed out that Dark Horse International's self-organized cinema line is likely to take over Shaw Brothers' cinema line.
News happens every day, with different perspectives, Chen Ping'an didn't bother to pay attention to the news in the newspaper, and flew to Taiwan on February 5.
Over the past year, a lot has happened in Taiwan.
Although Chen Ping'an tried to stop it, the Heavenly Dao League was still established in Green Island Prison, and Chen Xbian was also alive in the world.
Zhang Zhaole stuck a knife in the ribs for the duck bully, and finally got himself into the American prison, charged with drug trafficking, just like Chen Ping'an said. His self-sacrifice did not have the opportunity to let Xiao Jiang Gongzi understand the essence of Li Xhui's X-independence, and the trend of Taiwan's political scene has not changed in any way because of Chen Ping'an, a little butterfly.
After arriving in Taiwan, the spokesmen of the Bamboo Union Gang and the Sihai Gang each set up a wine banquet to invite him, but he did not accept it, but set up a banquet at the Yuanshan Hotel and invited the speakers of the Bamboo Union Gang and the Sihai Gang to the banquet.
His face is not small, and the leaders of the two major gangs recognize him as a nephew; He can make money again, and all the films produced by Dark Horse International are distributed by Lianhai Pictures in Taiwan, which makes Lianhai Pictures make a lot of money, especially "Ghost Love" will bring at least ten times the income of Lianhai Pictures...... For the Bamboo Union Gang and the Four Seas Gang, Chen Ping'an is their god of wealth, no need to fight, kill and kill, no need to worry about police investigation, no need to worry about revenge from the enemy, and make money and make a fortune safely.
During the banquet, Chen Ping'an first made a good fool of the future of Dark Horse International and Lianhai Pictures, and the two parties were smiling, and then put forward the concept of black gold politics for the first time, allowing them to rein in their subordinates, launch spokespersons, and open the way to politics with money. Learn the way of Japanese associations, and combine associations and politics to ensure the long-term peace and stability of associations.
His purpose...... Troublemaker! Since it can't change the future trend of Taiwan's political arena, let him be more chaotic, and he can't let X independence and his ilk dominate, right? The Bamboo Union Gang and the Four Seas Gang are all clearly opposed to X independence!
How much the two gangs can listen to, Chen Ping'an is not sure. is still the same sentence, it is up to people to make things happen, especially this kind of major event involving politics, he said that he could not do anything.
During his stay in Taiwan, the Bamboo Union Gang and the Four Seas Gang both sent their best hands to secretly protect Chen Ping'an's safety.
After the banquet, Chen Ping'an rejected the Taiwanese female stars arranged for him by the two gangs, and spent the night with Lin Yixia in the love nest. The next day, I made an appointment with Zhang Yijia and Li Zongsheng for lunch.
Dark Horse Records Taiwan Company has a good appearance under the management of Li Zongsheng. Zhou Huajian, Tong Ange, Fang Wenlin, Qiu Haizheng and Yi Nengjing formed a youth and beautiful girl group, as well as some second- and third-tier singers, plus Li Zongsheng himself, the company has opened up its popularity in Taiwan, Zhou Huajian and Tong An have each become the pillars of the company, and the youth and beautiful girl group has also set off a whirlwind of beautiful girls in the Taiwanese music scene.
Last year, the company not only reached breakeven, but even made a small profit, and was already able to be self-sufficient and did not need Chen Ping'an to inject any more funds. Li Zongsheng took out a check of NT$3 million and expressed his desire to subscribe for 30 percent of the company's equity.
Although this was promised by Chen Ping'an early on, Li Zongsheng's approach somewhat took advantage of Chen Ping'an. Seeing that Chen Ping'an agreed very happily and adjusted the company's shares after the year, Zhang Yijia couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The current Chen Ping'an is like two people when she first met her!
After Chen Ping'an accepted the check, he stuffed it into Lin Yixia's hand, asked her to use it to supplement her family and then buy herself some clothes and jewelry she liked, which caused Zhang Yijia to keep making fun of the two, and also said that Lin Yixia has a sweet voice and can try to develop in the music world, and secretly kicked Li Zongsheng.
Li Zongsheng met Lin Yixia for the first time. He also felt that after the company's normal operation, it was a bit unauthentic for him to invest another 3 million to subscribe for shares, even if this was what Chen Ping'an promised early on. Therefore, under Zhang Yijia's prompting, he said that Lin Yixia's image is absolutely fine, and he can come to the company to practice singing skills after the year, and after determining the style, he will make records for her in the future.
Zhang Yijia has lived a very nourishing life in Lianhai Pictures. This year, Lianhai Pictures was taken care of by her, and she made a lot of money for the Bamboo Union Gang and the Four Seas Gang. Some time ago, the spokesmen of the two gangs jointly decided that each family would take out 2.5, and Zhang Yijia would enjoy the company's 5 dividends every year.
Backed by the two major gangs of Bamboo Union and Sihai, the big and small gangs on the island of Taiwan have to give her a little face, she has almost become the eldest sister in Taiwan's entertainment industry now, and the insiders are bullied too hard, if the director can't see it, as long as she comes forward, the other party will more or less give her a little thin face.
After the meal, Zhang Yijia proposed that he planned to make a movie this year, the script had been written, and the name "Favorite" was a literary film, hoping that Chen Ping'an's Dark Horse International could invest. Since nearly half of the films produced by Dark Horse International are literary films, and the word-of-mouth box office is good, more and more directors are ready to start making literary films, and the first thing that comes to mind is Dark Horse International.
Chen Ping'an nodded in agreement after reading the script, and assured Zhang Yijia that she didn't have to worry about the release. After the filming of "The Favorite" is completed, it will be arranged to be released in Dark Horse International Theaters, and it will even be able to provide Asian distribution.
In just one year, the changes of Dark Horse International, Zhang Yijia and Li Zongsheng both expressed their sighs and incredible. Especially the global box office of "Ghost Love" amazed the two even more. In private, Zhang Yijiadu half-jokingly proposed that Chen Ping'an should have forced her to join Dark Horse International last year, instead of being the general manager of Lianhai Pictures.
Chen Ping'an spent the second Spring Festival at Lin's house.
Lin Yixia's brother and sister have worked in Lianhai Pictures for a year, are familiar with the entertainment industry, know the status of Dark Horse International in Hong Kong, and Chen Ping'an's current net worth of hundreds of millions, no longer object to Lin Yixia being with him, but to pry Lin Yixia to tie Chen Ping'an to him. Only Lin's mother had a lukewarm attitude towards Chen Ping'an, but because her daughter was determined to Chen Ping'an, she did not openly oppose it.
Chen Ping'an stayed in Taiwan for nearly a month, and Lin Yixia spent the Spring Festival of 86 years and romantic Valentine's Day together, the little girl was greatly satisfied, and one night after the clouds and rain, she proposed to give Chen Ping'an a child. Chen Ping'an noticed something was wrong, and asked in a few sentences, this was her sister's pout, saying that a woman can only tie a man's heart when she gives birth to a son.
On February 28th, when Chen Ping'an returned to Hong Kong, the wonderful box office battle for the Chinese New Year stalls had come to an end, and the focus of public opinion was not the box office results of several movies, but the sudden announcement of Shaw Brothers two days ago - the liquidation of Shaw Brothers!
