Chapter 806: A Strange Venue
The Peninsula Hotel, as if deliberately let people see, Zou Wenhuai's chosen negotiation location is here, Wang Zichuan vaguely knows what medicine Zou Wenhuai sells in the gourd, so he happily went to the appointment.
Entering the hotel lobby, Wang Zichuan paced slowly, light yƬ noticed a little strange, stopped and groaned slightly, I don't know why, I always feel that today's atmosphere is a little weird, this feeling makes Wang Zichuan very uncomfortable, as if someone is deliberately avoiding him, right! That's it, Wang Zichuan quietly looked ahead, and sure enough, he saw a few sneaky figures, he knew all these people, Zhang Xueyou was pretending to drink tea, Guo Fucheng was sitting next to Zhang Xueyou, Liu Dehua and Mei Yanfang were sitting together, the two whispered and laughed, but Liu Dehua often looked up inadvertently, staring at here, Yuan Di stood in front of the viewing window and looked at the scenery outside, in fact, he was using glass reflection to stare at Wang Zichuan's every move.
"Where there is Yuan, there must be Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao!" Wang Zichuan secretly observed, and found Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao at the dining table not far from Yuan Di, the two of them were dressed like plainclothes policemen, Cheng Long was wearing sunglasses, and Hong Jinbao was hiding behind the newspaper.
Wang Zichuan took a deep breath, and in the hall, Lin Jianyue, Pan Disheng, Huang Baiming, Wu Siyuan, Deng Guangrong and others were presented in turn, most of them were film company owners, and it is estimated that this place has been chartered by people in the entertainment industry.
"Someone must have spread the rumor, but it was done on purpose!"
The taste of calculating is not good, Wang Zichuan is very unhappy in his heart, and now it has become a trend of riding a tiger, going back will only make people laugh, and after a while, Wang Zichuan went to the agreed place of Zou Wenhuai without dragging his feet.
"Achuan!" Zou Wenhuai happily got up, smiling.
Wang Zichuan apologized: "Uncle Huai, I've kept you waiting." ā
Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "I also just arrived, sit down, in fact, I have long wanted to talk to you, the trip to Shanghai was an opportunity, but unfortunately I came and went in a hurry, and I couldn't find the opportunity." ā
Wang Zichuan knew that this was Zou Wenhuai's temptation. Without changing color, he replied: "I think so too." ā
Zou Wenhuai deliberately calmed his face and sighed: "I wanted to stay in the mainland for a few more days, but unfortunately I encountered an accident and didn't even have time to participate in the screening ceremony, and now I want to come, it's a pity!" ā
Wang Zichuan 'comforted' and said: "Nine out of ten 'eight' and nine things that are unsatisfactory in life, Uncle Huai don't have to regret it too much." ā
Zou Wenhuai felt a bit of nameless fire in his heart for no reason, and he could no longer pretend to be soft, and said coldly: "Ah Chuan." You have received a lot of goods there, I heard that several leaders are full of praise for Tengfei Entertainment, the copy of "Jingwu Hero" has been brought back to the capital by them, and it will not be long before it will be screened nationwide safely! ā
Wang Zichuan said modestly: "It's still in the assessment stage, I don't know what trouble Uncle Huai has encountered, I heard that he didn't even attend the meeting, so he returned to Hong Kong?" ā
"Why, you don't know?" Zou Wenhuai was suspicious and lost his copy at Shanghai Railway Station. At first, Zou Wenhuai thought that the thief happened to steal the copy, although he was angry in his heart, he was helpless, and he didn't think of Wang Zichuan at all. After returning to Hong Kong, the more Zou Wenhuai thought about it, the more he wondered why the thief only targeted him and why the thief didn't steal the wallet. Instead, the copy was snatched accurately, and the copy was not gold or silver, and the thief snatched the copy. Why didn't you throw it away, but instead take the copy with you, and deliberately let him pursue it, until he was exhausted, he threw the copy into the Huangpu River......
There are too many doubts, Zou Wenhuai returned to Hong Kong, and the words 'Tengfei Entertainment' suddenly appeared in his heart, and then he vaguely understood that the thief snatched the copy, and only Tengfei Entertainment benefited from this move, plus Wang Zichuan was also in Shanghai, and the purpose was the same, which made Zou Wenhuai even more suspicious.
Wang Zichuan didn't intend to admit this matter, and said with a smile: "I don't quite understand what Uncle Huai means!" ā
Zou Wenhuai said lightly: "I heard that He Guanchang also attended the meeting, and I was curious, I don't know if he represents Tengfei Entertainment or Golden Harvest Pictures?" ā
"yes, I don't know." Wang Zichuan frowned, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Uncle Huai, I went to the mainland this time purely for investment, and I handed over the copy to Liu Zhenwei, I just heard the result, but I didn't understand the process, Uncle Huai is interested, I'll go back and ask." ā
"No need!" Zou Wenhuai had a cold face, he was very dissatisfied with Wang Zichuan's push of 265, now that the wood is in the boat, even if the truth is revealed, he can't help it, the reason why he talked about this reason is just to take advantage of the next negotiations, but he didn't expect Wang Zichuan to slip or not to be on the road.
Wang Zichuan smiled: "Uncle Huai asked me out, didn't he just talk about this?" ā
Zou Wenhuai suppressed the depression in his heart and said with a forced smile: "The past is over, not to mention that the copy was robbed, even if you arrive at the meeting place safely, I estimate that the result is still the same, no matter who wins or loses, our goal has been achieved." ā
Wang Zichuan echoed: "Yes, as long as the film is released and the response is good, the mainland will definitely continue to introduce Hong Kong films in the future. ā
Zou Wenhuai sighed secretly, it is too difficult to set Wang Zichuan down, it is better to go straight to the knife.
"Ah Chuan, in fact, I asked you to come over today because I have more important things to discuss."
"Uncle Huai, please speak!" Wang Zichuan also solemnly got up, now the hippie smile is a little out of place, in case Zou Wenhuai is angry, he will not only have to bear criminal responsibility, but also bear moral condemnation.
Zou Wenhuai's face became ugly, and he said in a low voice: "Chen Baixiang has contacted a lot of merchants in the past few days, why don't you contact Jiahe, does Achuan look down on our Jiahe Cinema?" ā
"Is that the case?" Wang Zichuan pretended again: "What the hell is Ah Lak! What does he do with so many theaters? ā
"You don't know?" Zou Wenhuai was mentally prepared, and he was also not lightly thundered, without Wang Zichuan's instructions, Chen Baixiang dared to connect the major courtyard businessmen in private! If Cai Yongchang did this, he would receive the news in a moment, and then he would ask Cai Yongchang about his purpose, but Wang Zichuan pretended to be confused, Chen Baixiang had been doing it for seven or eight days, as the boss of Tengfei Entertainment, how could Wang Zichuan not know?
Wang Zichuan sneered: "Uncle Huai, I just came back from the mainland, and I was busy celebrating my girlfriend's birthday recently, and the company's affairs were handed over to Chen Baixiang and He Jiazhuan for the two of them. ā
Zou Wenhuai couldn't turn his face and scolded Wang Zichuan, he was not a fool, and he came up with such a bad reason! It's not a test of intelligence, it's a test of endurance.
Wang Zichuan was secretly worried, Zou Wenhuai had really changed, at this time in the past, he had already left angrily, no wonder he could put down the shelf and contact Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long, you must know that Zou Wenhuai hates betrayal the most, Jiahe has been established for so many years, countless talents have taken refuge in Jiahe, few people have Jiahe behind them, and the people who betrayed Jiahe ended up being one, and gradually faded out of the entertainment industry, how about Luo Wei, who was known as Li Xiaolong Bole at the beginning, Cheng Long was also a talent under him, and finally was cornered by Jiahe, and even his wife was surrendered by Zou Wenhuai, In his previous life, Hong Jinbao left Jiahe halfway and got together with Debao Company, and Hong Jinbao, who was in full swing, was finally beaten as a detective, and did not star in movies such as "Food Truck" and "Plan A", and immigrated to Canada in the nineties, the most typical example is Xu Guanwen's Xu Film Company, although there is a suspicion of high merit, but the fuse is that Xu Guanjie took refuge in Xinyicheng.
Zou Wenhuai tried his best to calm down and be open and honest: "Ah Chuan, now that the Hong Kong film industry is getting better and better, some bull-headed ghosts have also appeared, and there are only a few Hong Kong cinema chains, do you know how many are popping up now?" ā
Wang Zichuan groaned: "Uncle Huai is looking for me for these theaters? ā
"Yes, although these theaters are small, they can't bear the large number, and most of the equipment is old projection equipment that has been eliminated by regular theaters, or even only one TV, alas! These bastards are really whimsical, they only charge 15 Hong Kong dollars per person, which is cheaper than a fried mein! ā
Zou Wenhuai guessed that Wang Zichuan had already understood the relevant situation, and this was why Chen Baixiang jumped up and down, and something happened that was very active.
Wang Zichuan said solemnly: "Most of these theaters are located in prosperous areas, can't our theaters compete?" ā
Zou Wenhuai was slightly anxious, Wang Zichuan clearly meant to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and patiently explained: "Most of these theaters are old movies, and even pirated movies, such as "Half a Pound and Eight Two" released ten years ago, if it wasn't for the employee report, I wouldn't have known that there were pirated copies of "Half a Pound and Eight Two" outside!" ā
"So arrogant!" Wang Zichuan was really surprised, it was too blatant to get a copy, the copyright of "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" is still in the hands of Golden Harvest Entertainment, if someone uses a pirated copy to screen "The True Color of Heroes", Tengfei Entertainment will definitely sue the other party for bankruptcy.
Zou Wenhuai smiled bitterly: "Lawyer Jiahe is negotiating, Ah Chuan, you also have to make up your mind, Tengfei Entertainment has so many blockbuster films, and any pirated one can make millions of dollars." ā
Wang Zichuan said confidently: "Uncle Huai, rest assured, in the entire Southeast Asia, no one should dare to pirate the films of Tengfei Entertainment." ā
"Oh?" Zou Wenhuai raised his eyebrows, and secretly reminded in his heart that he would investigate as soon as he went back, and if Tengfei Entertainment had anti-piracy capabilities, Jiahe must learn this skill and carry it forward.
Wang Zichuan said with a smile: "It's not a secret, if Uncle Huai has the idea of pirated videotapes on the market, you can find that there are very few pirated videotapes related to Tengfei Entertainment." ā
"Any tricks?" Zou Wenhuai cautiously tried to say.
Wang Zichuan laughed: "Trick? Maybe it's because the underground factory doesn't like our Tengfei Entertainment's films, but if Golden Harvest Cinemas and Tengfei Entertainment unites, maybe they can also benefit from it. ā
"Hehe, let's talk about how to suppress small theaters." Zou Wenhuai quietly missed the topic, Wang Zichuan has seen the methods, as long as the theaters in the alliance with the Oriental Cinema Line are digested by the Oriental Cinema Line in the end, it is simply a cannibalism without spitting out bones. (To be continued......)
