Volume 1 Chapter 321 Wenhua Hui (Part II)

"Listening to the waves near the sea, Lin Sheng is really elegant"

Although Lin Xiaozhi's plan has not yet been figured out, Li Guoxing has arrived, and he is not in a hurry to talk.

Lin Xiaozhi turned around at this time, as if he had just known that he had arrived, and waved his hand with a smile: "Li Dong, you are too exalted to me, where do I know what elegance is." It's just that because you haven't come yet, it's boring to look at Victoria Bay and relax your tense nerves after a long day's work."

Li Guoxing's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this, he already knew what kind of party Lin Xiaozhi was going to have today when he called last night, but he didn't know who Lu Dao had invited. Glancing at the time on the wall, it was just after six o'clock, and the meeting time he had mentioned earlier was seven o'clock. Lin Xiaozhi hinted that he arrived early, there must be something.

I was not in a hurry to take his words, but I gave him a sentence that aroused curiosity in my heart, and said with a smile: "If you give those media knowledge, Lin Sheng, who is talented and can write and direct, claims that you don't understand elegance, how should you report it."

There is no lack of envy in his words, "Lin Sheng, you have been really proud recently, not only took over the family's bank, but also acquired Debao, one of the three giants of the movie, and even the new movie "Red Alert" is a big hit in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and I think it may not be impossible to surpass "The Saint of Gambling" at the box office."

The corners of Lin Xiaozhi's mouth hooked an arc, and he personally poured him a glass of Hennessy and served it, obviously Li Guoxing still doesn't know, although his "Red Alert" has not yet been negotiated for release in Japan and South Korea, but "Love Letter", which was released a few months ago, finally landed in Japan the day before yesterday, and created an astonishing box office of 1.4 billion yen in Japan within two days of release, attracting the attention of the Japanese film industry. "Color is Empty" failed to open the door to Japan, and "Killer Leon" did not perform well in Japan, and finally relied on a "Love Letter" to make the Japanese notice that a powerful film company named Ya was born in Hong Kong, and they finally took a solid first step.

For Japan, which has closed the door to the vast majority of film companies except Hong Kong Golden Harvest, has finally opened its door to New Asia.

Hearing what he said, Lin Xiaozhi was worried that someone who would be invited would arrive early, so Yu Crisp pretended not to hear the trick in his words, touched a glass of wine with him and took a sip before saying: "I hope that the box office of the movie will be higher and earn more." I, Lin Xiaozhi, don't understand anything, and I took over the family's property and picked a professional manager to take care of it, and my roots are still on the movie side. ”

He didn't intend to hide the fact that Li Guoxing had acquired Debao from the beginning, so as early as a month ago, when Li Guoxing came to ask him after hearing the news, Lin Xiaozhi admitted it vaguely. Of course, there is a more important reason, which is to force him Li Guoxing to come to the door first and talk to him about something that is beneficial to everyone.

It's a pity that what makes him entangled is that he didn't expect that the coincidence is that Meiya seems to have encountered some things in Southeast Asia recently, and Li Guoxing's days in Hong Kong in the past few months have been counted, and the accident has made the pit he dug fall through.

But although disappointed, he didn't care too much. Acquired one of the big three in Hong Kong, Debao, and Debao also has its own Southeast Asian distribution channels, although it is very weak compared to Meiya, even Golden Harvest and Golden Princess can not compare, but he Lin Xiaozhi sits on New Asia and Debao, and is now in a port of adjustment. In the future, whether the Southeast Asian distribution will continue to be handed over to Meiya, or Lin Xiaozhi will do it himself. Li Guoxing's earlier 30 Asian shares could no longer affect Lin Xiaozhi's decision-making, so he gave Li Guoxing a call last night, and he came today as promised.

Over the past year or so, Meiya has become more and more dependent on New Asia. And Xinya now has Debao again, but its dependence on Meiya is not so heavy, and it is time to redeal their relationship.

"The huge profits of the film industry are still above the bank, Lin Sheng is so courageous" Li Guoxing praised it with a smile, and then shook his head and frowned and said: "But now it is getting more and more difficult to mix, and there are more and more people outside who scold us in Hong Kong." I've been in Indonesia for the last few months, and I'm probably going to follow the example of the Philippines and introduce its own film protection bill

Lin Xiaozhi's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he quickly returned to normal.

In the past month, he has completely taken over the entire Debao and opened some documents sent by the Southeast Asian branch of Debao, and he is not ignorant of the Southeast Asian distribution market. Hong Kong and Taiwan are undoubtedly the heart of Hong Kong films, and apart from the heart, for most film companies, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia are the most important among several Southeast Asian countries. The Philippines was one of the largest foreign markets for Hong Kong films earlier, but with the restriction of Hong Kong films from the previous year, it gave the green light to the American blockbusters made by Dad, even if Hong Kong films lost the Philippine market in just two years, Hong Kong films that were able to dominate eight of the top ten box office in the Philippines in the early years are now good to be in the top 11 in a year.

Among the remaining three countries, Singapore is geographically similar to Hong Kong, but its own film industry is very similar to Taiwan. Thailand also has its own films, although it has also introduced protection laws, but now there are not too many restrictions on foreign films, but unfortunately the politics are too chaotic, and there are often rows of news about China and China, which is also one of the important markets for Hong Kong films.

As for Indonesia, the economy has developed rapidly in recent years, as the most populous country in Southeast Asia, the box office of Indonesian films is about 500 million or 600 million Hong Kong dollars, and Hong Kong films contribute to Indonesia every year, with a box office of almost three or four billion.

"It is a matter of time before Southeast Asia introduces film protection measures, and it is impossible for any government to allow other countries' films to dominate its own market. Lin Xiaozhi replied lightly, "We can't stop a country's decision-making, but we can also do something to influence their decision-making and develop in our favor." ”

Black May is an eternal shame for more than a billion Chinese, and the feat of Indonesia's long-lived President Suharto in his early years, Lin Xiaozhi has no good impression of Indonesian monkeys at all.

Li Guoxing silently lit a cigarette for himself, he has been busy in the past few months, just to influence the decision-making of the Indonesian side. There is no way, there is no strong country behind it. The hegemony of Hong Kong films in Southeast Asia in the past ten years, and the wanton collection of money from various countries have suppressed the development of local films in Southeast Asian countries, and have long offended the film industry of various countries.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Xiaozhi also put down his wine glass and lit a cigarette for himself: "In Hong Kong, we have no say in the film industry, let alone in other cities." That's one of the reasons I've asked you to come today."

Li Guoxing raised his head when he heard this, and looked at him in surprise, "What does Lin Sheng mean by this?" ”

"Don't worry, we'll talk when everyone arrives. It just so happens that no one has come yet, Li Dong, I have a good deal I want to talk to you about."

"Good deal...... Li Guoxing frowned slightly when he heard this, and a lot of things popped up in his head in an instant, and he couldn't figure out whether Lin Xiaozhi was going to talk to him about the Southeast Asian release of "Red Alert", or ...... Ready to redeem the shares of Sancheng Xinya in their hands. If it is the former, as long as the price he offers is not too excessive, he will consider accepting it. But if it's the second ...... Li Guoxing has to think about it......

"It's a good deal, Li Dong." Sensing that there was still a bit of vigilance in his puzzled eyes, Lin Xiaozhi flicked the ashtray on the coffee table in front of him, and his voice was low and powerful: "I don't know if Li Dong has thought that one day Xinya, Meiya, and Debao will become their own people......"

"You want to buy AIG"

In an instant, Li Guoxing's eyes widened, and he looked at him with an incredulous face, "This can't be ......"
