Chapter 222 Wealth touches people's hearts
"If it's just me, I naturally wouldn't dare, but we think that we have enough strength to cooperate with your company and discuss cooperation plans!"
Chen Ping'an frowned: "We? Who else? ”
"There's no need for Mr. Chen to ask. I'm just a pawn, hehe, Mr. Chen just needs to know that. ”
Could it be that Taiwan's eight major film companies have joined forces? Chen Ping'an pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you think you are qualified to talk to me?" ”
"Absolutely!" Cai Songlin showed strong self-confidence, "I can represent the forces behind me and negotiate any conditions with Mr. Chen. In addition, the energy of the forces I represent is far beyond Mr. Chen's imagination, and this year's Golden Horse Awards is the best proof of this. ”
"Huh?"
"Hehe, your company's "Dao Ma Dan" can win the best feature film, which is a gift from us to Mr. Chen."
Shock, absolute shock!
Although Cai Songlin couldn't produce any evidence, Chen Ping'an did not doubt the other party's words. In later generations, "Dao Ma Dan" was not even nominated at the Golden Horse Awards, but this year's Golden Horse Awards actually won the Best Feature Film Award...... At that time, Chen Ping'an felt incredible, but now that he thinks about it, it should be the result of the other party's secret operation.
No wonder the Golden Horse Awards are over, and many Taiwanese media are shouting for black-box operation!
"It seems that your energy is really strong, and even the Golden Horse Award can be influenced, admire and admire. If you're so powerful, why bother with me? ”
Mr. Chen laughed. We also paid a lot of costs in this operation, and we barely succeeded. This kind of thing is no longer possible, if it weren't for the sake of giving you a big gift, Mr. Chen, we wouldn't do this thankless thing. ”
I guess too. Now even the Taiwan authorities will not be able to control the Golden Horse Awards. "Tell me, your request."
"I hope that in the future, every time Mr. Chen raises money, we Scholar Pictures can enjoy a 20% investment share."
Chen Ping'an was noncommittal: "You have worked so hard, don't you just want so much?" ”
"Of course not. In addition, Scholar Pictures wants to enter Hong Kong, and hopes that your company can provide the popular stars we need, and the movies we shoot can be arranged in prime time. ”
"What else?"
Cai Songlin is also an old Jianghu: "At present, on these two conditions, if you and I cooperate happily, there may be deeper cooperation in the future, and I guarantee that Mr. Chen will get rich benefits from this cooperation, which Mr. Chen himself could not imagine." ”
"Are you finished?"
"Hmm."
"Then it's up to me to speak." Chen Ping'an put down his cigar, leaned forward, and put on a sense of oppression, "I will not agree to any of your conditions." Unless you hand over the mastermind of the calculation and let your boss come to Hong Kong to see me in person, there is no need to talk about it! ”
"That's not interesting!"
"You can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, if you can't give me a satisfactory answer today, I'll let you sleep in Hong Kong!"
"You don't need to be alarmist, since I dare to come, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to go back, and you're not a bloody person."
"You can bet on it." Chen Ping'an's eagle-like gaze pierced the other party, "I wasn't before, but now...... Someone is going to kill me, if I don't be ruthless, I will strike first, I'm afraid that I will let the mermaid meat! ”
I'll ignore this!
When Cai Songlin came to Hong Kong, he also had a detailed investigation of Chen Ping'an and made effective judgments about his style. They have a detailed understanding of Chen Ping'an's past, focusing on the analysis of Chen Ping'an's behavior in the two years since he returned to Hong Kong.
Although Chen Ping'an once spoke arrogantly and acted arrogantly, had ties with gangs in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and beat reporters in the cold, he was still a legitimate businessman during the operation of the film company, and he did not have any ruthless side.
In the end, they concluded that Chen Ping'an was talented, business-minded, and could make money in films, but that was limited to that. In addition, he does not have a murderous and ruthless side in life, and he will not be in danger when he comes to Taiwan.
But this conclusion is that before the Golden Horse Awards, someone wanted to assassinate him on the night of the Golden Horse Awards, which is likely to become an uncertain factor, which made Chen Ping'an's style of action change. For example, he will never have the opportunity to set foot in Taiwan again in his life.
Thinking of this, Cai Songlin smiled: "Mr. Chen, I think there is a misunderstanding between you and me." ”
"You tell me what I want to know, won't the misunderstanding be resolved?"
Cai Songlin pondered for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Chen, there are some things I can sue you, but there are some things I can't say. I am also doing things for others, and after saying that, not only my life is not guaranteed, but even my family is in danger. ”
"Tell me about it."
The information given by Cai Songlin was very limited, he just sued Chen Ping'an, and his boss was unhappy with Chen Ping'an, so he sent someone to deal with it secretly. used his hands and feet to secretly record the door at the Causeway Bay Convention Center, and used Lu Liangwei to break the news to reporters about Chen Ping'an's bag * female stars, etc.
But his boss was in Taiwan, and his control over Hong Kong was insufficient, and the people he sent stayed in Hong Kong for a long time, became disobedient, and finally wanted to kill Chen Ping'an. Although Cai Songlin did not make it clear, he already understood very clearly in his words that that person was from the entertainment industry, and wanted to destroy Chen Ping'an and make Dark Horse International fall apart, just like the period after the liquidation of Shaw Brothers, which became a gluttonous feast for many film companies in Hong Kong.
This was not the original intention of Boss Cai Songlin. In just two years, Chen Ping'an has accumulated a rich net worth from filming movies, which has moved many people. Xu, Yang, and Lin acquired Xinyicheng for this purpose, and Cai Songlin's boss also decided to abandon his previous suspicions and cooperate with Chen Ping'an to make a fortune together.
Knowing that his disobedient subordinates planned to be unfavorable to Chen Ping'an, he instructed Cai Songlin to report to Chen Ping'an, which was a great gift. Then Cai Songlin came to Hong Kong to meet Chen Ping'an and proposed cooperation.
Who this disobedient subordinate is, Cai Songlin is reluctant to say. "Actually, like him, I do things for people. The rabbit died and the fox was sad, although I was not used to seeing him, it was impossible to betray him! ”
In addition, Cai Songlin's boss will not come to Hong Kong to see Chen Ping'an. It's not that you don't dare or don't want to, it's that it's inconvenient.
"Inconvenient?"
"That's right. My boss is currently inconvenienced, if the two sides cooperate happily, next year, at the latest before the end of next year, you can meet my boss. ”
Cai Songlin's words, although vague, were enough for Chen Ping'an to sort out his thoughts.
He offended someone in Taiwan, and the man was going to deal with him at first, but seeing his ability to attract money, he decided to cooperate with him. Cooperation or not, when will I have a grudge with someone in Taiwan? How did I not know?
He was thinking here, Cai Songlin didn't bother him, he opened the door lightly, but saw the dwarf cow glaring angrily, and his bodyguard Xiao Si Nasa was lying on the ground with a swollen face, unconscious.
Chen Ping'an has really become ruthless now.
Cai Songlin closed the door and retreated, sitting opposite Chen Ping'an, waiting for his final reply.
Half an hour later, Chen Ping'an took a deep breath: "It seems that this boss of yours is not simple." ”
"So you agree?"
Chen Ping'an shook his head: "If a scholar wants to enter the Hong Kong film industry, there is no problem. Anyway, there are many independent film companies in Hong Kong, and the Dark Horse Cinema Line has also divided some prime time schedules for release. The movies you make, as long as the quality is up to standard, can be released in Dark Horse Theaters. As for the 20% investment share of the Jianghu fund-raising order, that is impossible. For the sake of the news you once gave me, I can reserve a quota for you in next year's fund-raising order. ”
"That's all?"
"That's all."
That's too different from what I asked! "Mr. Chen, it's hard for me to explain this result when I go back."
"That's what you tell your boss when you go back. If he is not satisfied, he can come to Hong Kong at any time to meet me next year when it is convenient for him. I'm curious about your boss and want to know where your boss came from and when I had a grudge against him. ”
……
The box office of "Bloody Heroes" created a miracle that was not big or small. As of the end of the painting on December 18, the box office of more than 28 million yuan not only became a new box office record for the same period in the previous year, but also set a new high for the box office of the year.
Not only was it a box office hit, but the film was also highly praised inside and outside the industry, as the Oriental Daily once reported, this film is the pinnacle of Wu Yusen's masterpiece, and its violent aesthetic concept is vividly displayed in it. A "True Colors of Heroes" and a "Bloody Heroes" have completely established Wu Yusen's status as a big director in the Hong Kong film industry.
This film brought a double harvest at the box office and word-of-mouth to Dark Horse International, but also brought a lot of pressure to Chen Ping'an. Now many people are waiting for the release of the dark horse international Christmas drama "A Chinese Ghost Story", waiting to see Chen Ping'an's jokes.
The box office and word-of-mouth of "A Chinese Ghost Story", no matter which aspect is inferior to "Bloody Heroes", will be infinitely magnified. "Sing Tao Daily" released its words early, just waiting to see Chen Ping'an's good show, they even thought of the title of attacking Chen Ping'an - jealousy and jealousy, "Bloody Heroes" missed the prime time.
In the office of Yu Cheng, the general manager of Xinyi City, the super three giants gathered together, and Yu Cheng sat aside.
Xu Jinheng said: "I'll go to the Taiping Theater tonight." ”
"You want to see Chen Ping'an's jokes, right?" Yang Zhicheng shook his head, "You can go to the Maritime Theater, and I will be in charge of the Taiping Theater." Both, I want to remind you again, we make movies to make money, not to fight with anyone, Chen Ping'an is not a good match, don't you see that the relationship between Golden Harvest, Debao and Dark Horse International is very good?
And Shaw Brothers also lost to him before the liquidation, but what about him? Instead of getting angry, he continued to maintain an intimate relationship with Wireless. This son is very deep, if he doesn't take the initiative to provoke us, it will not be easy for us to make enemies with him. Again, our purpose is to make money. ”
Xu Jinheng and Lin Jianyue were silent in thought, and Yu Cheng agreed very disapprovingly: "What Boss Yang said is right. Chen Ping'an has brought many influences and changes to the film industry in the past two years, and the three bosses may not feel it when they first set foot in this way, but we people feel it very deeply. Let's talk about the multiplex cinema line he made this year, as far as I know, Boss Lei has decided to take advantage of the off-season at the box office after the year to start renovating his cinemas in batches, and transform all cinemas into multiplexes by the end of next year. ”R1152
