Chapter 183: Three major cinemas

"If Yansheng really integrates the three major cinema chains, how can Yansheng guarantee the interests of my Golden Harvest?"

Zou Wenhuai suddenly asked in a deep voice. 《≠,$x.

Although Zou Wenhuai is a super boss in the film industry, it is only in the film industry. Out of the movie industry, there are few people who pay attention to him.

Zou Wenhuai is different from Run Run Shaw, Run Run Shaw's Shaw Brothers went out to schedule films, and no one who was not open-eyed dared to provoke him. That's because Run Run Shaw is not only a knight given by the queen herself, but also a super tycoon with a net worth of tens of billions.

Zou Wenhuai is different, his combined net worth is only about one billion, and he is not a super boss......

Therefore, even Jackie Chan, who has shouted the slogan of an international superstar, has people from the community who dare to come to collect land fees when filming. And the price code is getting higher and higher, Zou Wenhuai has no way to do this.

Yan Qingyu is different, it is said that when Tianxia Pictures was filming "The True Color of Heroes", it needed some bad boys from the community to be extras, and it was Xiang Huaqiang of New Ngee An who personally instructed him to let all the people in the hall go out and help for free.

This person is more than human, and sometimes it can really break people's hearts......

Yan Qingyu said: "All media companies under the Tianxia Group have only one inheritance culture, that is, fairness, justice, rigor and seeking truth from facts. The same is true for the integrated Tianxia Cinema Line, whether it is Tianxia Pictures, Golden Harvest or New Art City, all the company's film scheduling is carried out in an open and transparent way. If the attendance rate is high after the launch, then you can apply for a postponement of the screening. If the attendance rate is low, then whoever the movie is drawn in advance. This can be recorded in the treaty archive. ”

He Guanchang suddenly interjected: "We can join the world cinema chain in the form of cinema participation." ”

Zou Wenhuai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Yes, if we can join in the form of equity participation, I can agree now." ”

When Yan Qingyu heard this, he lifted Erlang's legs and began to think little by little.

Looking at Yan Qingyu's calm image, Zou Wenhuai felt that he didn't look like a young man under twenty years old at all. Instead, it's more like an old fox with a deep city.

After five minutes, Yan Qingyu suddenly said: "Five percent, Jiahe can account for up to five percent of the shares, and I will buy the rest in cash, this is the bottom line." In addition, I can promise Golden Harvest that the first movie to enter Hollywood can use Jackie Chan as the protagonist. ”

Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang's faces sank at first, but when they heard the back, they couldn't help but move slightly.

Zou Wenhuai was shocked: "Yan Sheng." You're going to Hollywood? ”

Yan Qingyu said with a smile: "After integrating the Hong Kong cinema chain, it doesn't make much sense to toss in Hong Kong." 40 million at the box office sounds like a lot, but when converted into US dollars, it's only 6 million. The top three of the annual movie box office list in the United States have now exceeded 100 million dollars. Hong Kong movies are only tossed in Asia, how much splash can they bring if they can be tossed? So, it's only a matter of time before you make your way into Hollywood. ”

Zou Wenhuai was a little excited when he heard this: "Yan Sheng is right, I have been trying to break into Hollywood since the seventies, and I found Bruce Lee. has successfully entered Hollywood. It's a pity that Bruce Lee's untimely death made Golden Harvest all his achievements go to waste.

Hong Kong is too small, Taiwan can't be guaranteed there, and we don't have a tough relationship like Yan Sheng. Southeast Asian countries are becoming more and more unfriendly to the Chinese. A number of policies restricting discourse films have been introduced. If we can't find a way out in advance, then the past few years will be the last glory of Hong Kong films. Only by going out, only by going to Europe and the United States, and by entering Hollywood. is the only way out for Hong Kong films! ”

Yan Qingyu nodded and said, "Zou Sheng is worthy of being a real filmmaker, very wise. Take a long-term view. However, if you want to go out, the premise is that you have to be strong. If Hong Kong always maintains the current scattered situation, confrontation, and even infighting, and internal friction continues, then we may not have entered Hollywood, but we may be killed by Hollywood.

The continuous invasion of community forces, if they taste the sweetness, and we are indifferent, then they will come in more unscrupulously, with the purpose of making money and laundering, shooting a large number of shoddy bad movies, in order to save costs, they will really use guns to force actors to act, not only do not pay them, but also extort and blackmail, where will anyone dare to continue to be actors at that time?

Zou Sheng, I, Yan Qingyu, didn't want to integrate Hong Kong cinemas for my own ambitions, I hope to be able to set rules for Hong Kong films, and drive them out of the entertainment industry before the community forces fully come in. Only by having no worries will Hong Kong films embark on a benign path of development. We don't have to worry about a fire in the backyard and go to Hollywood with confidence. Otherwise, I'm afraid that if we go out on the front foot, they will destroy the nest on the back foot.

Zou Sheng, those community forces don't care whether Hong Kong movies are dead or alive, but we Chinese filmmakers can't care. It's not just a business. Chinese films are part of our Chinese cultural heritage. If Zou Sheng is unwilling to let me take the lead, it doesn't matter, I, Yan Qingyu, can let Zou Sheng take the lead. ”

Zou Wenhuai looked at Yan Qingyu silently for a long time, and Yan Qingyu's eyes did not shy away at all, and he also looked at Zou Wenhuai directly, with only sincerity and sincerity in his eyes.

With a long sigh, Zou Wenhuai shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Those clubs didn't go to the Jiahe studio to collect the land fee, which has already given me face, my old bones are not so hard, and I can resist those ruthless club rotten boys." That's it, 5 percent is 5 percent. The specific accounting issues will be handled by the financial department. Yan Sheng, congratulations, you will be the well-deserved king of the Hong Kong film industry in the future. ”

Yan Qingyu smiled faintly when she heard this, and said, "I won't disappoint you real filmmakers." ”

……

Compared with Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun is more difficult to do.

Lei Juekun is different from Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai, the latter two are people who really care about Hong Kong films, and they are looking forward to the future development of Hong Kong films. Therefore, they are willing to fulfill Yan Qingyu's practice of integrating Hong Kong cinemas.

But Lei Juekun's fundamental purpose in investing in Golden Princess Cinemas and creating New Art City Film Company is to make money.

The Lui family's fundamental industries are Kowloon Bus, Kowloon Development and Norway Construction, and the family's focus is on public transportation and real estate.

Lei Juekun is worth billions, and it is very difficult to get the Golden Princess Cinema from him.

"Lei Sheng, hello, take the liberty to visit, and please forgive Lei Sheng."

Yan Qingyu met Lei Juekun, who was close to the age of six, in Lei Juekun's mid-level mansion. He said politely.

Lei Juekun is no stranger to Yan Qingyu, he has seen Yan Qingyu when Yan Qingyu held the "God of Gamblers" celebration banquet for the first time.

It's just that Yan Qingyu at that time was just a cutting-edge filmmaker at most, but now Yan Qingyu has become a super-rich man with a net worth of 20 billion yuan and a wealth far exceeding that of the Lei family.

Lei Juekun narrowed his eyes, forcibly held back the envy and jealousy in his heart, and said, "I don't know what Yan Sheng has to say?" ”

Today, Yan Qingyu is worthy of the honorific title of "Yan Sheng" by any tycoon in Hong Kong.

Yan Qingyu smiled. said: "The younger generation came today to buy the Golden Princess Cinema in Lei Sheng's hands, and the price is up to you." ”

Lei Juekun laughed when he heard this: "I never meant to sell the golden princess, is Yan Sheng mistaken?" ”

Yan Qingyu shook his head and said: "That's right, I spent 350 million to take over the Shaw Cinema Line from Uncle Six, and spent another 500 million to take over the Golden Harvest Cinema Line from Golden Harvest." I want to integrate the three major cinema chains in Hong Kong and form the largest joint cinema chain in Hong Kong. In order to rectify the increasingly chaotic film situation in Hong Kong, I also hope that Lei Sheng can be fulfilled. ”

Lei Juekun's face suddenly stiffened when he heard this, and he said in disbelief: "You say." You've acquired Shaw Brothers Cinemas and Golden Harvest Cinemas, and you're going to integrate Hong Kong cinemas? ”

Yan Qingyu nodded and said, "That's right, the juniors have this intention." Lei Sheng is now a giant in the film industry. You will not be unfamiliar with the current complex situation of Hong Kong films. I think that if it is not rectified as soon as possible, maybe Hong Kong films can prosper for five or six years, but it can only be so. Invasion of the Society. The proliferation of a large number of shoddy films and the deterioration of the order in the film industry will bring Hong Kong films to a dead end. It's not a good thing for Lei Sheng's new art city either. ”

Lei Juekun heard this. His face changed and he said, "If I sell Princess Jin to you, how can I guarantee the interests of Xinyi City?" Moreover, the concentration of all theaters in one does not seem to be conducive to the development of Hong Kong films, right? Won't we filmmakers all have to look at your face and eat at that time? ”

Yan Qingyu waved his hand and said: "I won't interfere in the specific operation of the theater chain, I will only formulate the rules, or rather, I will work with Lei Sheng, and Zou Sheng of Golden Harvest, the three of us will work together to formulate the rules of future Hong Kong films." Once the rules are made, everyone has to follow them, including me. I can give the same treatment to Princess Jin and Golden Harvest, and have the right to add an executive director for 5% of the equity of Huàn New Cinema Line, and can supervise whether the operation of the cinema chain is fair and transparent. ”

Lei Juekun's eyes flickered when he heard this, and said: "You gave 350 million for the seventeen theaters of the Shaw Brothers, you gave 500 million for the thirty-three theaters of Golden Harvest, and how much is Yan Sheng going to give for the forty-one theaters of the Golden Princess?" ”

Yan Qingyu thought about it for a while and said, "600 million, I am willing to pay 600 million plus 5% of the shares of the World Cinema Line to Lei Sheng, in exchange for 100% of the rights and interests of the Golden Princess Cinema Line." ”

Lei Juekun frowned when he heard this: "Is it a little less?" You must know that the Golden Princess has nearly ten more theaters than Golden Harvest. ”

Yan Qingyu said with a smile: "Princess Jin's theaters are mostly in Kowloon and the New Territories, especially the New Territories. The land there is not as valuable as Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. If the Golden Princess's theaters are all located in Kowloon, I will pay a billion dollars. But because more than half of the theater chains are located in the New Territories, I only came out of 600 million. The land of the Golden Princess Cinema Line is only worth 300 million at most. ”

Lei Juekun was a little displeased and said: "It's too low, I won't sell it at this price." ”

Yan Qingyu's smile faded, and she said lightly: "Lei Sheng thinks, what should be the value of the Golden Princess?" ”

Lei Juekun smiled: "I think it should be at least 800 million!" ”

The smile on Yan Qingyu's face was completely gone, and he said in a cold voice: "Lei Sheng, don't you think this price is a bit outrageous?" Even if I spend money to buy land and build all the new ones, it will cost less than 800 million Hong Kong dollars. ”

Lei Juekun did not back down at all, and said coldly: "800 million, I won't sell it for a cent, if Yan Sheng refuses to agree, please go back." ”

Yan Qingyu looked at Lei Juekun lightly, and Lei Juekun also looked at Yan Qingyu without showing weakness.

After a long time, Yan Qingyu nodded and said, "Eight hundred million, okay, eight hundred million." Forget it, I'll pay a billion, Lei Sheng, I'll pay a billion to buy out your golden princess, but I don't have the five percent shares of the new cinema line. What do you think? ”

Lei Juekun was overjoyed when he heard this, nodded and said, "Oh, Yansheng, you are so generous, good!" No problem, I can sign the transfer contract today. ”

Yan Qingyu smiled brightly and said, "No problem, sign the contract today." (To be continued......)
