Shen Zhenghui didn't have the heart to figure out the twists and turns in the hearts of his subordinates, his approach was simple and rude. At the formal staff meeting the next day, Shen Zhenghui drew a sizable piece of cake.

He elaborated on the relationship between the upstream and downstream of the entertainment industry in the future, and bluntly stated that comics and animation will be important materials for films, and his own achievements in the film industry no longer need him to say anything more. He's done enough, and the examples are already in front of him. If young children's animations such as "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "Bear Infested" let animation practitioners see the hope of being able to support their families, "Puhai Fortress", "The Legend of Wukong", and "Magic Apprentice" let everyone see more and greater hopes, such as honor, fame and so on. On the other hand, the honor of the original authors of those novels also made cartoonists blush.

In fact, strictly speaking, Shen Zhenghui is not fooling cartoonists, according to the development of the industry, comics will indeed become the most important material for movies in the future. One need only look at the United States and Japan to understand this, but for Chinese cartoonists, the constraints and circumstances they are subjected to are really worrying about their future.

So Shen Zhenghui mentioned the second point, that is, how he will support domestic cartoonists, in fact, what he said has been done for a long time, including personnel to Japan for training and further study, cultural exchanges between China and Japan, Chinese mainland comics to find ways to export to Japan, Taiwan and other markets, this aspect is not without effect, can only say that under the reality of Japanese comics dominating the world, little effect. Now, with new directions, Europe and the United States, Shen Zhenghui asked the cartoonists at this conference whether their work is unique enough to attract the interest of readers from different cultural countries. And then use some form of resale back.

This is not the biggest pie, he wants to ask more. Is it possible to have such an excellent work as zài that can be adapted into a movie, attract the attention of countless people, and form a good industry cycle of some kind of stability.

This is a big problem, perhaps only the top-level boss of the industry will consider, and it was directly raised by Shen Zhenghui and assigned to all his employees. It's not like they're drawing cakes beyond their imagination. But there is a concrete basis in reality, since someone has achieved such an achievement in online novel writing, then there is no reason why cartoonists can't do this? Even if you take 10,000 steps back, the imagination and creativity of cartoonists are not as strong as those of online writers, so between online novels and movies, filling this gap with pictures is also an excellent way out.

Shen Zhenghui announced that in the future, China's comic market and animation market will also be a large market with an output value of several billions, and the cultural industry will be one of the most promising industries. Always ready to bring good work to the big screen.

Regardless of what the management thinks, the grassroots staff and the cartoonists who attended the meeting are probably excited. Shen Zhenghui's arrangement of the work is still simple, just passing on his requirements to the top and middle levels, and only needs to set up a template, and the people below will know how to work hard. At least that's what he thinks, which makes this group of people who are currently the top in China's animation industry worry about how to connect reality with Shen Zhenghui's dream. And just after finding enough trouble for his subordinates. Shen Zhenghui crossed the river and arrived in Hong Kong.

Yang Shoucheng and Mr. Xiang are in a state of some kind of gain and loss. This kind of love also affected Jack Cheng, and the three of them were not even in the mood to continue fighting for the rights to the sequel.

After "New Police Story", Jack Cheng's original planned original "New Police Story" was aborted. Against the backdrop of Shen Zhenghui's "New Police Story", the flaws of the original "New Police Story" are unusually obvious, and from logic to popularity, they cannot be compared with Shen Zhenghui's films. Jack Cheng is very majestic in this "New Police Story". I don't want to go back to the original story and be abused. Yang Shoucheng also felt that it was not interesting to start filming another movie of the same name, and the wonderful performances of his actors under the training of Shen Zhenghui were difficult to replicate in other films, and he also extinguished the plan to continue to use Jack to make a circle box office. Jack Cheng cares about another thing, if "New Police Story" is very good in Hollywood, then can he wash away the shame of "Around the World in 80 Days". Back to his Hollywood a-list status?

This conjecture gained more confidence with the release of "New Police Story" in Hollywood. "New Police Story" earned $32 million at the box office in the first three days of its premiere in Hollywood, and reached 54 million yuan in seven days in the second week. Although "New Police Story" has been ridiculed as the Asian version of "Hurricane Rescue" in terms of publicity, the audience in the United States just likes this kind of hilarious fight movie, although Jack Chen's previous movie was disappointing, but the director of this one is Shen Zhenghui. In a sense, the hype that "New Police Story" is the Asian version of "Hurricane Rescue" is a good gimmick, especially since Shen Zhenghui is also the director of "Hurricane Rescue", which makes Colombia pay more and more attention to the sequel to "Hurricane Rescue", although they will not start the production of the sequel immediately, but they will definitely attach importance to this project and try to make this series a good one.

Of course, these things had not happened when Shen Zhenghui arrived in Hong Kong, so at that time, Jack Cheng, Yang Shoucheng and Mr. Xiang were still in a situation of considerable gain and loss. Even though the Asian box office has recouped its investment, the trio can't help but hope that the North American box office will be higher.

"The sequel has to wait a little longer," Shen Zhenghui said, "It's not wise to decide to make a sequel so quickly, we have to put the audience in some kind of **." He said, "Besides, Zhou Xingxing's "Kung Fu" will be released in December, and I think the situation can be discussed after the release of "New Police Story" in North America, not to mention, if we want to make a sequel, we also need to negotiate with the Colombian side." Although "New Police Story" and "Hurricane Rescue" have nothing to do with each other on the surface, the two films are actually tied together, and Colombia certainly doesn't want us to make an Asian version first. ”

These words made Jack Cheng even more anxious.

The dividends of the movie are coming in one after another. The box office revenue from all over the country is continuously remitted to the accounts of investors who collect money. Money is the most exciting thing in the hearts of investors, and Jack Cheng's table xiàn also inspired the fanatical passion of Hong Kong filmmakers, who chased after Jack Cheng, eager to invest money to let Jack Cheng shoot eight out of ten. But the investors are not brain-dead, and they also make the same request when investing, and it is best for Shen Zhenghui to direct. Of course. Investors will not bluntly say to Jack Kecheng that you can't direct, let Shen Zhenghui direct, but put forward their own requirements from various angles.

Of course, Yang Shoucheng and Jack Cheng are not short of money at this time, but as filmmakers, they still have to maintain the necessary financing channels, and some people's faces are really difficult to refuse. After listening to what these people said, Jack Cheng, who was originally a little arrogant, doubted himself again - could it be that I really don't have the talent to direct? Of course, he would never accept such a statement in public. But in general. Outstanding commercial directors are all paranoid, and among the actors who can transform into directors, it seems that only Zhou Xingxing has achieved the level of a top director.

Therefore, in front of Shen Zhenghui, in addition to the matter of cooperation, Jack Cheng also wanted to ask what he was missing as a director, but for the sake of face, the eldest brother never asked.

Shen Zhenghui took another look at the work of Wang Bin and Wang Jun by the way. In addition to helping Shen Zhenghui invest in blockbusters such as "Infernal Affairs" and "New Police Story", they also invest in some small movies as appropriate. Shen Zhenghui gave them more work. Try to buy the copyright of old Hong Kong movies, in fact, it is not limited to Hong Kong movies, including TV shows, and the copyright of variety shows Shen Zhenghui also needs it, and he is preparing for future video websites.

Just when Shen Zhenghui ended his activities in Hong Kong and was about to return to Japan. Suddenly, I received calls from Lin Jian and Li Zekai.

Lin Jian's words were twists and turns, in addition to saying hello to Shen Zhenghui and asking about the share of "Infernal Affairs", he finally turned around and asked Shen Zhenghui if he was still interested in Hong Kong TV.

This brought up Shen Zhenghui's interest, "Is Lin Sheng going to sell ATV?" ”

"It's not our Lin family's TV station for a long time." Lin Jian's tone was a little regretful. However, it is not too strict, after all, ATV's annual losses are also a reality, from a certain point of view, the Lin family can be regarded as getting rid of this burden, "My shares have long been sold out, and now ATV's family members are Chen Sheng and Liu Sheng." ”

"Why, these two gentlemen want you to bring me a message?" Shen Zhenghui asked.

"It's not Chen Sheng, it's Liu Sheng." Lin Jian said, "Liu Sheng wants to ask if you are interested in ATV's shares?" ”

Shen Zhenghui's thoughts turned rapidly, according to reason, Mr. Liu is from the mainland, even if he has direct contact, he does not need to pass through Guò Lin Jian, a Hong Kong person, to spread the word, not to mention that he has never heard of any friendship between the two of them, at most, both of them are engaged in the media, and there may be contact. So now Chairman Liu, who is also the chairman of a well-known TV station in Hong Kong, actually sent Guò Lin Jian to release the news, which is really a strange thing.

"I'm quite interested in controlling ATV, if it's just a major shareholder," Shen Zhenghui paused, "Lin Sheng, ATV is still in a loss-making state, right?" ”

Lin Jian didn't say anything more on the other end of the phone, only said that he would give Mr. Liu Shen Zhenghui's contact information, and asked Mr. Liu to contact Shen Zhenghui at that time, and Shen Zhenghui agreed. Who would have expected that Shen Zhenghui had just put down the phone here, and Li Zekai called again.

"Mr. Shen, are you in Hong Kong?" This Xiao Li Superman said directly on the phone, "I am ready to invest in ATV, are you interested?" ”

After this, the time was too ingenious, and Xiao Li Superman didn't even mention the question of whether he had made a phone call to Shen Zhenghui just now, "You want to control ATV?" Shen Zhenghui asked.

"I'm not interested in running a TV station," Mr. Li said, "and we can jointly buy ATV, and then I can transfer ATV's control to you." ”

"You mean let me take all the ATV shares you have at that time?" Shen Zhenghui asked.

"You can only buy your share as chairman." Xiao Li Superman said.

Shen Zhenghui didn't believe that such a good thing as falling from the sky, "Can you give me time to think about it?" He asked.

"Of course, it's the big deal." Li Zekai said, "But please try your best to reply to me, if possible, I hope you can meet with me." We can talk to each other in person. ”

Shen Zhenghui agreed.

The next sentence Li Zekai said triggered his conjecture, "I heard that Miss Wang has been in Yangcheng recently, so it is better to invite her to Hong Kong, and I will be a good host." ”

Shen Zhenghui's joy has converged, the Li family wants to sell favors like this? You must know that although ATV is losing money, if it wants to be acquired. It is also a big business of more than one billion Hong Kong dollars.

Putting down the phone, Shen Zhenghui calmed down, and the first call was to Fukuda Mitsumi, "If I need about a billion Hong Kong dollars immediately, can I take it out now?" ”

"It's just over a hundred million dollars, do you have anything to do?" Mitsumi Fukuda asked, "In the short term, bank loans are simple, but in the long term. We can prepare it ourselves. ”

"I'm interested in a TV station in Hong Kong, and there is a possibility of acquisition, so I'll call you first." Shen Zhenghui replied, "I'll tell you if it's settled." ”

"TV station?" Mitsumi Fukuda on the other end of the phone was obviously interested, "Is it ATV?" ”

"Well, I have someone else to ask, I'll be sure I'm calling you later." After saying this, Shen Zhenghui dialed Wang Anping's phone again.

Communication with Wang Anping is more complicated. After 97 years, the central government took control of Hong Kong's propaganda considerations. For some TV stations with foreign investment backgrounds, they have broken into their own Chinese businessmen. Chairman Liu took the task of investing in Phoenix, and this time the sudden change of ownership of ATV is absolutely impossible to bypass the central government. Shen Zhenghui was not qualified to go to Central to ask the people in the Hong Kong and Macau office what was going on, so he could only ask Wang Anping.

Wang Anping quietly listened to Shen Zhenghui's narration, did not speak for a long time, and sighed at the end. "The Li family is really an old fox."

"What's wrong?" Shen Zhenghui asked.

"The Li family let you take over and let you be grateful to them, what do you say is not an old fox?" Wang Anping gritted her teeth, "It's really a dream to ask me to accept their family's affection." ”

"So?"

"Anyway, don't worry, none of these guys have good intentions." Wang Anping said angrily, "Do you want ATV very much?" ”

Shen Zhenghui was a little entangled at this time, if it was before, he didn't notice how good and important ATV was, but he had just blown the conch in Pengcheng and his subordinates, and at this time he was able to realize the importance of a TV station, and he didn't fancy it was not all the influence of ATV, but that such a TV station could just seamlessly connect with the cowhide he bragged, and the mainland's cartoon production Zuò suddenly had a sales outlet and a real base.

Shen Zhenghui sighed, "Thinking is thinking." Perhaps his tone was a little frustrated, which infected Wang Anping.

"Don't worry," Wang Anping said, "I'll come to Hong Kong to meet you right away, and you'll know what's going on." ”

Wang Anping's speed was quite fast, and after Shen Zhenghui took stock of his personal assets and confirmed that it was not a problem for Hong Kong's leather bag company to raise five or six hundred million yuan, and at the same time, the Japanese branch in Hong Kong could follow the dispatch of the head office at any time to issue him a loan of more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, Shen Zhenghui became full of confidence. He also thought that if he became a shareholder of Minsheng Bank in the future, wouldn't it be more convenient to dispatch funds, at least with such an identity, it would be more convenient to deal with several major Chinese-funded state-owned banks.

In the evening, Wang Anping was already sitting at the same table with Shen Zhenghui.

Shen Zhenghui's younger uncle Wang Bin and cousin Wang Jun acted as Shen Zhenghui's guards, helping them to stay outside the door. In fact, I was sitting in the private room opposite the private room, and I drove the door to see if anyone was eavesdropping. This room is the most remote part of the restaurant, and it is obvious that no one will come over.

Wang Anping went straight to the point, "ATV is losing money, and Lao Chen doesn't want to do it for a long time." Not only him, but Lao Liu also wanted to quit this stall for a long time, but he couldn't find a suitable person to take over. ”

"Didn't the Li family always want to take over?" Shen Zhenghui asked.

"The Li family?" Wang Anping said in a slightly contemptuous tone, "Didn't they sell the TV station to Merkdo in the first place?" ”

"That was Xiao Li's doing, right?"

"Whatever," Wang Anping snorted, "This matter makes the people above very annoyed." ”

"People are capitalists, and they won't talk to you about politics." Shen Zhenghui replied, he already had a score in his heart, "So they actually can't do anything other than sell it to me?" ”

"These guys," Wang Anping said angrily, "I just asked a few acquaintances about it, and it's confirmed that you're going to take over ATV." She said fiercely, "We are not at peace at the top, and we don't know who did this for what." ”

"Me?" Shen Zhenghui was surprised, "This, don't you usually have to send a political commissar or something to explain this kind of thing to me to see if I am loyal to the party and patriotic?" ”

Wang Anping glanced at him, "Don't be poor." She said, "There was a long process to go through in this matter, and it was just a preliminary idea formed above," she glared at Shen Zhenghui, "I have to say that you have been quite good in the impression of the upper echelons over the years." ”

But then she was angry again, "These guys actually heard the news and started to operate on their own," she sighed, "I don't know if these three guys are cooperating with each other in the drill, this is obviously trying to open the black and trap you." ”

"It doesn't matter if it's money." Shen Zhenghui said, "I can take out more than a billion in a short time, and if it is billion, it is not impossible to give me some time." ”

"It's hateful, it's a kick in the Li family." Wang Anping said fiercely, "Just because they are involved, we don't want you to buy it." (To be continued......)
