Volume 1 Chapter 203 Lin Jianming's phone call
The sensational effect of the press conference was something that Lin Xiaozhi himself could not imagine.
"Mr. Cen, thank you very much for your face to the banquet this time......"
In front of a famous seafood shop on West Seafood Street on Des Voeux Road in Hong Kong, Lin Xiaozhi, who had drunk a little high, smiled and shook the hand of Cen Jianxun, president of Debao Films, who also drank a lot, "I drank some wine, so it is inconvenient to send Mr. Cen back in person." I'll call you a taxi later."
"No need, no need to ......" Cen Jianxun burped, and he poured a few large glasses of wine to Lin Xiaozhi, and now he is shaking when he walks: "I can take the car back by myself"
Looking at the young man in front of him who has recently made waves in the Hong Kong entertainment industry and made a huge noise, attracting the attention of the whole Hong Kong, the smile on Shum Jianxun's face was also a little bitter.
Today, he was invited to a banquet by New Asia, and has just negotiated with this young man to release their new film "Friends" on behalf of Debao Cinemas. Debao has already gotten the promotional pictures in advance, although I learned from New Asia that the subject matter of this movie may be relatively niche, but Debao Cinemas still paid the treatment of a standard blockbuster for this film that has been particularly popular in the Hong Kong media in recent days and has attracted countless topics and expectations, and only then signed the release of this movie, for no other reason, Debao Cinemas has no movies to screen
Yes, there are no more films to show at Turbow. With the end of August "Royal Sister 4" and several other Debao self-produced films, before the end of this year, Debao Film Company, known as one of the three giants in Hong Kong, now has only one small-budget film "Big Man Little Biography" that is just nearing the end of filming, that is to say, in the next few months, Debao Cinema's brother film company will only have the last self-produced film
Their big boss Pan Disheng was reluctant to allocate money, and not long ago, the famous brand king sold Disheng Records. Recently, he not only clearly told Debao Film Company that he would not allocate any more money to shoot a film before the end of the year, but even talked to several senior executives of the film company in advance, stipulating that next year will also be carried out according to the scale and investment of this year's film. The 89 years have not yet passed, and he actually told Cen Jianxun in advance that he could only make a maximum of six movies in 90 years, and the total investment could not exceed 40 million Hong Kong dollars. It is said that you can't live if you do your own evil, and Pan Disheng's move to cut off the silver root is clearly to pull down Debao Film Company, which is known as one of the three giants of Hong Kong films, from the altar, and then stomp on it a few times.
After next year, there will be no Debao among the big three in Hong Kong.
Shum Jianxun sadly discovered this, as a veteran who established Debao Film Company with Hung Jinbao in the past, he now regrets more and more that he should not have sold the company to Pan Disheng easily. A businessman is a businessman after all, and he is reluctant to spend a lot of money to introduce stars, good scripts and big directors, and on the other hand, he is demanding that Debao use a second-rate team, a third-rate script and an unpopular investment to shoot the most profitable movies. How can there be such a good thing in this world, just invest one or two million Hong Kong dollars to shoot a small-budget movie and become a box office dark horse and make millions of dollars?
Now Pan Disheng feels that the movie is not profitable, and he is even more stingy with investment. Not to mention that Cen Jianxun has frequently received a rumor that Pan Disheng frequently contacted the investment community and asked for quotations from business people, which was to sell Debao Company and run away
Looking at the film companies such as Xinya, Yingzhijie, Xu Ke Studio, Yineng, Yongsheng and other film companies that have gradually grown in the past two years, and then looking at the declining Debao, there are a few people who know the complexity in Cen Jianxun's heart. There is no greater sorrow than death, probably this is the case.
"Friends" was finally scheduled to be released in Debao Cinemas on September P, and after sending Cen Jianxun away, Lin Xiaozhi was quite satisfied with the result. Hong Kong now has three major cinemas, one small and four cinema chains, Xinbao Cinema Line is too small, and Golden Harvest has some friction with New Asia earlier, all of which are not ideal partners of New Asia. The movie is about to be released, so I naturally consider landing on Debao Cinema or the golden princess who has cooperated with her before.
The Golden Princess Cinema was quickly excluded, because they just had a main movie schedule that collided with Xinya's movie, which was "The True Color of Heroes 3" invested and filmed by Xu Ke Studio, and Zhou Yanfa shot the last movie for Xu Ke before leaving. Wu Yusen ran away to make Xu Ke very angry, because his run not only made Xu Ke lose a money-making cash cow, Wu Yusen also took away Zhou Runfa, who Xu Ke had always wanted to sign, and the three friends in the past have now become undying enemies, and Xu Laowei's anger can be imagined. If it weren't for the recent filming of "The True Colors of Heroes 3", he would have been ready to take it out directly and compete directly with 'Traitor, Wu Yusen's "Bloody Heroes".
Wu Yusen was lucky to miss this opponent, but Xin Yake was not so lucky, Xu Ke Studio Company, as a film company under Princess Jin, can be regarded as its own person. It coincided with this period of time, because of New Asia's acquisition of New Art Treasure, which caused the contradiction between the three giants of Mecca and other New Art Cities to intensify again, and Princess Jin had some complaints about New Asia. Although he didn't say it explicitly, when Zheng Fei went to contact and arrange the schedule, the schedule given by the Golden Princess Cinema Line was constantly bad, and there were only a dozen premiere theaters, and almost all the high-quality resources were given to Xu Ke, so Lin Xiaozhi finally dispelled this idea.
After getting the movie released, Lin Xiaozhi, who was in a good mood, waved a taxi and returned to the New Asia office in the ATV building after seeing Cen Jianxun away.
"Chairman ......"
"Lin Dong is a good ......"
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
As soon as he returned to the New Asia office, Lin Xiaozhi saw the crowd shouting in the New Asia office, and there were busy people everywhere. Stacks of documents were packed into cardboard boxes by the busy female staff of New Asia, and then taped and written notes, and then there were male employees waiting on the side to pick them up and pile them in the corner next to them.
Xinya was finally about to move away, Lin Xiaozhi stopped and stood for a while, looked around for a while, and had a little emotion on his face.
With the departure of Qiu Degen, since the relationship between New Asia and ATV was exposed, Lin Xiaozhi and they are indeed no longer suitable to stay in the ATV building. Especially not long ago, his cheap uncle Lin Jianming just seized the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to bring down the previous ATV CEO Zhou Liang Shuyi, Xinya continued to stay in the ATV building, and there was more gossip around.
In this ATV building, New Asia can't stay any longer. Fortunately, as early as June this year, Lin Xiaozhi sent someone to find a more suitable place to stay, and the office location that ATV had allocated to them before, after a year of expansion of New Asia, is now a lot smaller, and it is time to change to a good place. After several months of investigation, although Lin Xiaozhi has not yet found an ideal office location in his heart, it does not mean that New Asia has not settled down, and now they are stepping up to pack up their things and prepare to move to a new office as soon as possible, so as to resume operation as soon as possible, and operate the release of the two films "Friend" and "Killer Leon", which is still waiting for the British to arrange the release time.
"What should you do with the things in your office?"
Lin Xiaozhi was about to open the closed door of his office when he suddenly heard someone behind him ask him. When I turned around, I saw several young staff members standing nearby.
He was stunned when he heard this, "Didn't I explain to Secretary Zhou and Assistant Wu, first send my small and medium-sized items such as water dispensers, computers, desks and chairs, and then carry them after the bookcase or something." Why, didn't Assistant Wu and Secretary Zhou tell you? ”
Several young people looked at each other, and after a while, a young man he remembered seemed to be Liu An scratched his head and said, "After Miss Zhou answered a phone call, she left first with a panicked face, as if something had happened at her house." Assistant Wu went over there in advance, maybe Miss Zhou was there before she left, so she didn't tell us how to get your office right, and Miss Zhou asked us to help you ask for a day off."
"Something happened to Secretary Zhou's family?"
Lin Xiaozhi frowned, then nodded and said, "Okay, I know the way." Excuse me, I'll call the smaller truck to come over and send the computer, fax machine and desk in my office first, especially the computer should be gently put away, there are a lot of company information in it."
"It's good,"
As the owner of the company, there are still some privileges. This kind of moving work, Lin Xiaozhi also helped move on the first day, and he has been busy with a lot of things recently, where is there time for everything. After staying in the office for a while and packing some of the documents in his office into boxes, Lin Xiaozhi stopped to help, and his mobile phone rang.
"Hey ......"
"It's me, Achi"
It turned out to be Lin Jianming's call, which surprised him a little.
"Uncle Ming, is there anything you want me to do?" After explaining to several people in charge of the company, he took his things out of the office and walked down the stairs to the other side of the stairs farther away from Xinya before he stopped and chatted.
"It's nothing" Lin Jianming seemed to be in a good mood on the other side of the phone, Lin Xiaozhi also heard another giggle from the phone, listening to the voice seemed to be a woman, and her age should not be very old, and she felt a little angry.
"I went to your office to look for you, but I didn't run into you twice. Where are you now, do you have time to come back to ATV recently, I'm a little bit of a favor, I want you to help......"
Could it be that something happened to ATV again?
Lin Xiaozhi pondered for a moment before replying: "Okay, Uncle Ming, it just so happens that I just returned to the ATV building, you wait for me, and I'll rush over immediately."
"That's still a coincidence, okay, I'll wait for you"
