Lin Jian didn't want to talk to Mr. at all, he had nothing to do with the previous things, and what he was worried about was not that Shen Zhenghui didn't invest, but the proportion of investment. Lin Jian thought about making money in "The Departed", but he didn't have much money, thinking that he would make less money if he wanted others to invest in himself, and he was afraid of losing money if he invested more. He was looking for Shen Zhenghui because he was entangled in the problem of financing, and wanted to borrow money instead of attracting investment, but he didn't have enough good things in his hands, so he wanted to package and sell a few bad films made by Nicholas Xie to Kasuga Pictures, just as Mitsumi Fukuda was worried about, these guys in Hong Kong treated Kasuga as a garbage can.

Lin Jian went back to the toilet, and Mr. Xiang thought about it for a long time, feeling that even if he honestly said that he had nothing to do with the last time, he couldn't do it on this occasion, and it was better to talk to Shen Zhenghui alone. He made several phone calls and returned to the dining room to find the rest of the people talking and laughing.

Shen Zhenghui is talking about the Hong Kong box office, and the entertainment industry in economically developed regions is also developed, which is a natural law. Therefore, the box office in North America has always been the most important box office in the world, Hong Kong, a small place, relied on the ability to radiate Taiwan and Southeast Asia when the economy took off, and played the name of Oriental Hollywood, but once it lost the box office in Southeast Asia, the decline of Hong Kong was predictable, and at this time, the mainland, a large market with a large population, was almost the only choice. This truth is not worth a penny to say, and anyone with vision can see it, but the sense of superiority that Hong Kong people have cultivated for a long time cannot be discarded for a while, and they seem to have always lacked a certain vision.

"So it is very likely that the development of mainland films will also be very fast, fast enough to catch up with Hong Kong, and by that time, there will be nothing to do with Hong Kong films."

How is it possible, everyone present muttered in their hearts, Miss Zhong pretended to be a woman, and asked boldly, "When does Mr. Shen think mainland movies will be able to catch up with Hong Kong?" ”

"Let me state that Hong Kong films are in decline and not death, just like Taiwanese films, maybe it will give you a surprise, but on the whole, it can't show competitiveness." Shen Zhenghui licked his lips, "So Hong Kong movies also have good directors and good actors, but they are gradually ...... Well, you can't say marginalization, you should have experienced, in recent years, Hong Kong's production volume has decreased, and the total box office has shrunk. He set his sights on Zhu Jiafu, "So Mr. Zhu is very discerning, special effects shots are the future direction of film development, and doing this is much less risky than making movies directly." ”

Zhu Jiafu showed a smug smile, but he seemed to want to show his love for his wife, and continued to ask, "Mr. Shen hasn't answered my wife's question yet, when do you think mainland movies will be able to catch up with Hong Kong?" ”

"Needless to say, when the mainland will catch up with Hong Kong," Shen Zhenghui said seriously, "If Hong Kong's own filming volume falls below 50, do you think its status and fame still match its strength?" ”

"Falling below 50?" Everyone present was a little surprised by this number.

"Does it include co-productions?" Mr. Xiang, who sat down, asked.

"Hehe, no." Shen Zhenghui smiled.

"Then it is still possible to fall below 50 in the future." Mr. Xiang smiled far-fetchedly, "After all, future co-productions will definitely be the mainstream, just like Mr. Shen said, everyone is rushing to the box office in the mainland." ”

Shen Zhenghui smiled and said nothing, so everyone stopped discussing this topic.

When it was time to leave, Lin Jian first pulled Shen Zhenghui aside for a private conversation.

"Brother, you have to help me." Lin Jian opened his mouth like this, "I am very interested in the plan of "Departed", but the money in my hand is really not enough, and the lineup of the four major actors is simply burning money. ”

"But if you don't shoot like this, there will be no box office at all, and you have also seen what "The Battle of the Forbidden Peak" looks like, and a king alone can't carry a big commercial film." Shen Zhenghui said, "Do you want me to increase the amount of investment? 40% is already the limit. ”

"Can you find a way to help me get short-term loans and financing in Japan?" Lin Jian asked, and he then added, "I can use ATV's shares as collateral." ”

ATV - Isn't it a loss?

"If it's ATV's control, it's a bit interesting, and a single part of ATV's shares is not interesting." Shen Zhenghui looked at him indifferently, "If you want to take out loans and financing, it's best for you to talk to President Fukuda yourself and see what she means, I don't have more authority, and I'm not Japanese." ”

Lin Jian's appearance that you play with me, and your own horses can't handle it made Shen Zhenghui feel very unhappy, and he maintained a stiff facial expression, wanting to appear that he was very tough.

Lin Jian sighed, "Then I can find a way, it seems that this plan is going to be postponed." ”

"You can talk to these four actors," Shen Zhenghui said, "Let them come forward in the name of the company and count the salary as an investment, so that the pressure on funds will not be so great." ”

Of course, Lin Jian knew that he could do this, and if he did so, he would have less risk, but he would also earn less. He is not like Shen Zhenghui who can see the successful future of "Infernal Affairs", which is tantamount to a gamble for him, and if he loses, Huanya, who is still a little better, may not be able to get up.

Shen Zhenghui patted him on the shoulder, "You think about it again, remember, you have to find President Fukuda for your own affairs." ”

Lin Jian nodded slightly and left with a full stomach.

Mr. Xiang came over again to have a private chat with Shen Zhenghui.

After hesitating again and again, Mr. Xiang still felt that it was better to talk to Shen Zhenghui about the last time, and he tried to be very honest and friendly, "Mr. Shen, do you have a good relationship with Miss Wang Anping?" ”

"She's my classmate's sister." Hearing Xiang Jia's question, Shen Zhenghui began to wonder what this guy was going to say, "We also have a lot of dealings in business. ”

"Alas," Mr. Xiang sighed first, "Mr. Shen, you know, I am a serious businessman now, but others always say that I used to be involved in the underworld, in a place like Hong Kong, in order to do business, you have to make friends with three religions and nine streams, sometimes the people you know are stupid and do some bad things, so you will be implicated." He made a bitter face, as if he was really wronged, "What is Miss Wang's identity, people with brains in Hong Kong don't even dare to touch her a finger, not to mention the underworld, even the real estate developers are polite when they see her." What happened last time, it really has nothing to do with me. ”

Shen Zhenghui just smiled.

Seeing him like this, Mr. Xiang became more and more sincere, "Really, Mr. Shen, after that incident happened, the Hong Kong police found at least thousands of people to drink tea, and after an investigation, the person who really did this thing had already run away to Vietnam." He whispered into Shen Zhenghui's ear and said, "They were all killed before they even went out of the open sea, and they have nothing to do with us." ”

Shen Zhenghui licked his lips and smiled at Mr. Xiang.

Mr. Xiang hurriedly said, "We really hope to continue to cooperate with Kasuga Pictures. ”

Shen Zhenghui pursed his lips, and finally said, "Mr. Xiang, I am only a small shareholder of Kasuga Pictures, and I am also willing to cooperate with Hong Kong film companies, but the decision-making power of the company is really not in my hands, I will reflect your sincere attitude to President Fukuda, but I really came to Hong Kong this time just for my new film." ”

Mr. Xiang shook hands with Shen Zhenghui with an embarrassed and helpless expression, and kept saying, "Mr. Shen, please believe us." ”

Not to mention trusting this kind of hurtful feelings, everyone is getting together to make money, and if you lose money, there is no basis for believing. Shen Zhenghui pursed his lips and squeezed out a smile on his face, "Yongsheng is a very powerful film company in Hong Kong, and we hope and work hard to promote the relationship with Yongsheng." After a pause, he said, "Mr. Xiang, if you have time, you might as well go to Tokyo and talk to Miss Fukuda." ”

Mr. Xiang walked with melancholy.

Zhu Jiafu and his wife waited until the end, and Zhu Jiafu greeted him, "Mr. Shen, let's go, I'll send you back." ”

"Mr. Zhu, I'm sorry for you." Shen Zhenghui nodded at him and looked at Mrs. Zhu again, "I'm sorry to disturb you." ”

"That's what we're supposed to do." Mrs. Zhu smiled gently.

"Mr. Zhu, are you interested in opening a company in the mainland, we can partner." After getting into the car, Shen Zhenghui asked tentatively.

"Mainland, hehe," Zhu Jiafu smiled, "I can't keep my company in Hong Kong busy, and I can't open a mainland company again!" ”

Also, you and your wife can enjoy your last few years. Shen Zhenghui smiled slightly and stopped mentioning this matter.

Zhu Jiafu sent Shen Zhenghui to his company, and then left with his wife. On the way home, he always felt a little strange.

"You said that since the guy surnamed Shen is not optimistic about Hong Kong movies, why is he still investing in Hong Kong?" Mrs. Zhu asked her husband curiously.

Zhu Jiafu laughed, "People are obviously saying that Hong Kong local movies are not good, this is a good opportunity for foreign films to enter the Hong Kong market, the strategy of Spring Pictures is very clear, entering Taiwan and Hong Kong, radiating the Greater China region, they have the intention of competing with Hollywood, so they want to tighten the fence in Hong Kong and Taiwan first, which is why they came to Hong Kong to find your husband and me to help him do the post-production of his film." ”

"Is that so?" Mrs. Zhu's eyes widened.

"Of course, you don't care about this, you look at him fishing Lin Sheng and Xiang Sheng like that at the table today, I'm sure that in the end, when Lin Sheng and Xiang Sheng put their heads down, they will still cooperate."

"Oh......" Mrs. Zhu had a feeling of sudden realization.

"What, you want to make a comeback?"

"What's the matter, it's so tiring to make a film."

At the same time, in the office of Xiantao's company, a group of Japanese and a group of Hong Kong locals were staring at the computer screen with red eyes, reviewing each film frame by frame, and Lu Yang only nodded when he saw Shen Zhenghui walk in.

"How?" Shen Zhenghui asked.

"It's already half of the review," Lu Yang let out a sigh, "In the future, it's best for this special effect to be a department of the crew, otherwise it will be too painful to communicate." ”

"This is the first time for us, we have to endure a little hardship, and we will have experience in the future." Shen Zhenghui looked at the pictures that were shining and connected, and his heart was full of satisfaction.
