Chapter 642: The Bottom Line of Capital

"Congratulations to the two of you," at first glance, you can see the difference between Xicheng and Han Jiaren, and there is only a veteran of the Fengyue Field like Lin Jianyue.

"Thanks to you," Hee Sung snorted angrily, while Han Jiaren just smiled shyly and got up to make tea.

This is the second day of Xi Cheng's arrival in Hong Kong, because he has some scruples, he didn't go too far last night, so he still looks energetic now, I really don't know where he saw it.

If anyone has the ability to do this, it's really a problem.

"Alas, since you know that I play a big role in it, and you are still so cold to me," Lin Jianyue squeezed his eyes and asked very obscenely: "Now I don't regret that I didn't start earlier." ”

"Mr. Lin, you have invested in so many movies, have you found a pattern?" Hee-sung didn't answer the question, but asked a quirky question.

Lin Jianyue thought that Xicheng suddenly wanted him to discuss some film investment experience, so he hurriedly sat down and asked, "What is the law?" ”

"Who died first in the movie?"

"Uh, crime victims," different types have different answers, but in the end it comes down to small characters, either to set off the bad guys or the heroics.

"Tut-tut......" Xicheng looked at Lin Jianyue with a very contemptuous look, and said unceremoniously: "No wonder you always lose money, you don't even know what kind of person is the easiest to die, of course, you know too much to die, I said that you are an old man who is doing so many things." ”

"You kid," Lin Jianyue couldn't laugh and cry, and said unconvinced: "What do you call me an old man, there are so many beauties who are willing to date me." ”

"Okay, don't talk about this, you came over so early in the morning to disturb me basking in the sun, wouldn't it be just to invite merit?"

"Heck, you like to bask in the sun, too. It's the most comfortable place to bask in the sun, don't mind if I join in the fun," Lin Jianyue was cheeky, planning not to leave.

Hee Sung was depressed and wanted to kick someone, he was accompanied by a beautiful woman, how could he hope that an old man would come over to make a light bulb.

"Why don't I go back first, I still have something to ......" Han Jiaren thought that Xicheng and Lin Jianyue had something to talk about, so she planned to avoid it first, and Lin Jianyue and Xicheng's lewd smiles made her feel very uncomfortable.

"No, I don't. Go to the balcony to bask in the sun, Mr. Lin will leave soon, "Xicheng stood up and walked to the balcony first.

The balcony is very large, with a terrace garden covering thousands of square meters, and a large communal bath that can almost be used for swimming competitions, and even has a panoramic view of Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island.

Each found the most satisfactory position, and Hee Cheng got straight to the point, "What the hell is going on." We don't have to see each other like that. ”

Sure enough, he was recognized in the matter of Han Jiaren, Lin Jianyue smiled proudly and began to say what he meant.

As expected, I still asked about the movie. The main thing is next year's film investment.

Xicheng pondered for a while before he said earnestly: "If you believe me, I suggest that you give up Hong Kong movies for the time being, there may be a small ebb in Asian films." Not only Hong Kong movies, but also Japan and South Korea are also in a recession. ”

"Well, I don't understand." Lin Jianyue sighed, "But I don't do it, and others don't do it, so does Hong Kong movies have a future, I just hope to retain some vitality for Hong Kong films, maybe one day, Hong Kong movies can recreate their original grandeur again." ”

Hee Cheng really wanted to sue him, this might be very low, but I don't know why, he couldn't open his mouth.

Lin Jianyue is a capitalist, but he is a capitalist with a bottom line, and he does not give up his persistence just to make money, such a person makes him admire.

The contempt for Lin Jianyue, a playboy that originally existed in his heart, finally disappeared.

If memory serves, more than 250 new films will be released in 09, with a cumulative box office of HK$1.2 billion, but more than 70 Chinese-language films will grossing HK$250 million, accounting for about 22% of the total annual box office, making it the lowest since 1970, when the Hong Kong market had a box office record.

As an important position of Chinese-language films, Hong Kong films have attracted the world's attention as early as the sixties and seventies, and kung fu films, Bruce Lee, and Oriental Hollywood have frequently appeared in Western media and enjoyed a good reputation. In the mid-90s, the output and box office of Hong Kong films continued to decline almost year by year.

In the aftermath of the financial crisis, Hollywood films withstood the pressure with global proliferation, but Asian cinema suffered an unprecedented blow.

Xicheng has repeatedly reached out to Hollywood movies, but he has never thought of supporting local films, and Lin Jianyue's words made him feel ashamed.

The shrinkage of movies has caused the income of stars to decline and even most people have not been able to receive dramas, and these people have either changed careers or gone to other places, further causing the decline of the local area.

"Is it really that pessimistic?" Lin Jianyue saw that Xicheng was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but ask.

Hee-sung nodded and let out a long sigh, "Actually, the form is obvious, whether you ask me or not, it's all the result, isn't it?" ”

"I thought you would have something to do," Lin Jianyue almost blindly trusted Xicheng in the eyes of the movie, if even he didn't have any confidence, wouldn't it mean that Hong Kong films would usher in an unprecedented blow.

"It's not impossible," Hee-sung had a very flexible brain, and almost instantly thought of a countermeasure.

"What's the solution?" Lin Jianyue sat up a little excitedly, and even Han Jiaren's beautiful eyes widened, waiting curiously for Xicheng's solution.

It's almost an industry-wide problem, and can he really solve it?

"It's not to solve the downturn in the market," Hee Sung seemed to know what they thought, shaking his head and interrupting their illusions, "It's almost impossible to save the market, after all, it's not that we don't have good movies, but people's incomes have been affected by the economic crisis and their spending power has declined, not to mention that no one can stop Hollywood movies from entering the market." ”

"Then ...... the solution you said?"

"It's not about saving the market, it's about maintaining the market, in fact, have you ever thought about it, in fact, Hollywood movies are also dead, North America can't support them, they have to stretch the dumping market out," Hee Cheng said, "If we just want to maintain the market, it's much simpler." ”

"What should I do?" Lin Jianyue is not disappointed, his bottom line is to maintain this market.

"We invest in Hollywood movies to make money, and then we lose money to make local films," Hee Sung replied lightly.

Lin Jianyue was thundered by this answer, if someone else said so, he would definitely spray the other party's face with salt water, but Xicheng was different, he even subconsciously felt that Xicheng's method was good.

Make Hollywood money?

It's just a fool's dream, who knows which movie will make money and which movie will lose money.

But Lin Jianyue felt that Xicheng knew that he almost superstitiously believed in Xicheng's vision, as long as he said which movie could be invested, he would definitely make money, such as "Yangtze River No. 7", "Mamma Mia", "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Speed Scandal", which are still popular in movie theaters.

According to conservative estimates, Hee-sung is estimated to make more than $100 million in movies this year.

At a time when many investments are losing money, this report card can make the world look sideways.
