Lin Xiaozhi hurriedly took the congratulatory gift, Gao Zhisen helped his mentor Huang Baiming on the side, Huang Baiming didn't care to speak, the commander brought him a few flower baskets to pile in front of the gate, and only turned around and said: "Lin Sheng, your Xinya has been in the limelight recently, some time ago Boss Lei asked me about your Xinya, and even praised you."

looked around again, "Why didn't you see Boss Qiu?" ”

"Lei Sheng is too exalted to me, there are a few film companies in Hong Kong that can compare to Huang Sheng, your new art city" Lin Xiaozhi replied with a smile, "I contacted Qiu Sheng, but he has been unwell recently and has not come." ”

Although Qiu Degen left, in order to show respect for the old man, Lin Xiaozhi still reserved the title of honorary chairman of Xinya for him. This time there was going to be a celebration party, and he also sent someone to inform Qiu Degen, but unfortunately the old man did not agree to come. The reply from the Qiu family was that he was sick.

It was really time for Qiu Degen to get sick, and Lin Xiaozhi was still curious about why he was in such a hurry to leave ATV. Recently, Lin Shaoliang, the richest man in Indonesia who is worth tens of billions of US dollars, joined Citibank and jointly filed a lawsuit in the Hong Kong High Court, suing Qiu Degen for beautifying the performance of the bank at a high price when he was in charge of the Far Eastern Bank. The former ATV boss is now in the midst of a lawsuit, just like his grandfather Lin Jili, who could be imprisoned at any time. No wonder he hurriedly handed over the management of ATV to Lin Baixin and his son in the middle of the year.

Huang Baiming smiled when he heard this, Qiu Degen was recently involved in the Far Eastern Bank case, and he also saw it in the newspaper, but he just asked casually to show his respect for this old-timer. This will listen to Lin Xiaozhi's answer for him, so he took the opportunity to turn to other topics, and took the opportunity to shake hands with Lin Xiaozhi, and whispered to him: "Liangsen came to me two days ago, and told me Lin Sheng, you seem to have heard some rumors, if it's convenient, let's take some time to talk in a few days, right?" ”

This Liangsen is Gao Zhisen's nickname that few people shout now, Gao Zhisen was handsome and handsome when he first debuted, and he had 'Liangzisen, this nickname, and later shouted and shouted and became Liangsen. Huang Baiming can be said to be half of Gao Zhisen's teacher, he has taken him with him since he first debuted, and now Gao Zhisen is famous and few people call him that anymore, but Huang Baiming is an exception.

Lin Xiaozhi nodded lightly when he heard this, but he didn't know whether Huang Baiming's words implied that he was allowed to invest in Gao Zhisen's private film company, or was it simply a warning, he didn't leak this matter.

A few people were chatting, another car was coming, Zheng Zeshi had also been in Xinya before, and his heart was still more towards Xinya, and when he saw someone, he hurriedly said: "You guys have to go, you guys are busy." We went in first."

"Good luck, have fun"

He and Gao Zhisen still had to stay here to greet the guests, Zheng Zeshi and Huang Baiming just stopped and chatted with them for a few words before entering the venue in the hotel first, with Zheng Fei and Zhu Zhishan and others greeting him, which also reassured him.

Approaching seven o'clock, Lin Xiaozhi invited more and more guests and guests, and even reporters and media came. There is no need for Gao Zhisen's guidance, Lin Xiaozhi gave each person a red envelope of 200 Hong Kong dollars, which is an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry. Although New Asia needs topics and hype, it does not need enemies.

Hong Kong entertainment in this era is not as bad as the paparazzi of later generations, at least the vast majority of people have a sense of proportion. If you know how to be a person, people won't be too difficult for you

With the title of 20 million directors, Gao Zhisen's connections in the entertainment industry really made Lin Xiaozhi red. At his invitation, big-name stars Zhou Yunfa, Zhang Guorong, Xu Guanying, Xu Guanjie, Xu Guanwen, the three brothers, Wang Xianxian, etc., all came, and even Hong Kong directors with famous surnames also came. Wang Jing seems to be preparing for his new movie "God of Gamblers" so he didn't come, but Yongsheng accidentally sent two flower baskets, but the Xiang brothers obviously knew that their reputation in the circle was not good, so they didn't come in person. Xu Ke didn't come either, it is said that he was busy with the release and promotion of "True Colors of Heroes 3" and went to Taiwan, but his wife Shi Nansheng came, and together with the stunning talent Zhang Aijia, she sent two sets of flower baskets to Xinya.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Lin Xiaozhi watched almost every movie of Wu Yusen in the previous life, whether it is a classic or a bad movie, it is not an exaggeration to say that Wu Yusen is one of the Hong Kong directors he admires the most. It's a pity that Brother ∫ obviously came looking at Zhou Yanfa's face, and chatted a little, Wu Yusen, who had just figured out his private film company recently, entered the hall, but chased Hong Jinbao, who arrived a little earlier than him.

I heard that in order to make a hit in his Wu Yusen Film Studio, he is recently recruiting troops everywhere to contact the script and crew, preparing to make a good start movie. Wu Yusen is good at shooting hero-themed gunfight films, and the requirements for action actors and martial artists are relatively high. Now that he is a traitor and has run away, where is he embarrassed to contact his old friends over there in Xinyi City.

Therefore, Wu Yusen now has only three choices, to cooperate with Jiahe to borrow a family class; Contact the Yuan family class, which has been very close to Debao recently, and the Hong family class under the name of Baohe Hong Jinbao.

New Asia's celebration actresses also came a lot, the most famous is the famous Qian in the film industry today, Wang Xianxian, the outside world has been rumored recently that she is in love with Qi Qin, the little prince of Taiwan's music scene, she will appear at New Asia's celebration party, it is estimated that it is still to give Gao Zhisen face, at the beginning of the year, they collaborated on a "Family Carnival" sold more than 30 million, Wang Xianxian also invested in this movie because he heard about Gao Zhisen's fame, and as a result, she also received two or three million dividends from the movie, so she naturally wanted to cheer with Gao Zhisen.

There are really a lot of famous, talented and beautiful actresses, and Sister Lizhi, who has recently had an affair with the Macau gambling king, is here; Between Ma Qingwei, a real wealthy businessman, and Liu Luanxiong, a stock market predator, 'Hong Kong's most beautiful woman, Kwan Chi-lam; It is rumored that it is Zhang Le of the big guy Xiang Huasheng's mistress; Other actresses such as Qiu Shuzhen , Zheng Yuling and other actresses are also dressed up more delicate than flowers, to Lin Xiaozhi's slight surprise, Weng Hong, who is currently participating in the Asian sister beauty pageant and has a great hope of winning this year's Asian sister championship crown, actually came, and there is a face he is very familiar with has been with Weng Hong, it turned out to be his uncle - Lin Jianming.

"Thank you for warmly celebrating the total box office sales of 20 million in "Water Margin".

At about half past seven in the evening, the invited guests basically arrived, Lin Xiaozhi invited Fa Ge to preside over the meeting on his behalf, and Fa Ge also readily agreed.

On the temporary rostrum of the lobby hotel, Fa Ge read this paragraph with the microphone, and after getting Gao Zhisen's eyes, Lin Xiaozhi apologized to Zeng Zhiwei, who was communicating in a low voice, and it will be time for them to come to the stage to salute. For today's celebration party, the crew of "Water Margin Laughter" gathered, even Zheng Zeshi and Wu Mengda, who were also filming, pushed off their work and rushed over, and even the fat Shen Dianxia, who wanted to accompany her daughter, also gave time to face and came to participate in this celebration, basically the main creators gathered together.

In the envious eyes of everyone in the audience, the fashionable Lin Xiaozhi, as a film producer and also the president of Xinya Film Company, slowly walked onto the stage. Even director Gao Zhisen took the initiative to give up his seat to face and let him walk in the front to accept everyone's applause. There are already a lot of honors for Gao Zhisen, and of course he doesn't mind giving up this opportunity. Besides, the movie he made was still invested by New Asia, and the position of team leader should indeed be given to Lin Xiaozhi.

It is true that people rely on gold to dress up, Lin Xiaozhi, who looks relatively mediocre in this life, is wearing a luxurious brand-name suit today, and even the dress is to invite a special designer to design his image, today he is definitely the focus of attention of the audience, and Lin Xiaozhi, who is full of style, has a self-confidence and momentum of a successful person

Facing many curious and envious eyes, Lin Xiaozhi gracefully replied to Fa Ge, who congratulated him, thank you, thank you, and then took the microphone from him, and read the speech that had been prepared for a long time to the guests.

After a few days of "Cheng Pao" interview report, now there are few people in the whole Hong Kong, especially in the entertainment industry, who do not know the way, there is a wealthy family from a 'wealthy rebel son, put a good family industry instead of inheriting, but entered the entertainment industry to work hard, but he is still like an evil god protection, he has created a number of Fengyue film scripts one after another, in just one year, under his leadership, a film company that was once not famous in Hong Kong, and it is said that it has been losing money year after year. It has entered the ranks of the most profitable film companies in Hong Kong, and is known as the 'five small strongest' together with the four film companies of Yongsheng, Yingzhijie, Xu Ke Studio, and Yineng, which has the meaning of pointing to the three traditional giants in the film industry.

Born in a wealthy family, young and golden, talented, ambitious, not afraid of challenges, many words come together, such young talents are always particularly sought after, standing on the stage, he can feel that there are always a few eyes that fall on him are very hot, and the afterglow sweeps away along the feeling, and what is imprinted into Lin Xiaozhi's eyes are several young beauties who are dressed very fashionably, including more familiar faces on the screen such as Guan Zhilin, Ye Zilin, Qiu Shuzhen, Weng Hong and other women.

The crew took the stage to give some brief speeches at a time, and the whole process lasted about five or six minutes. After all, there are a lot of superstars and directors here today, either for the sake of New Asia's face, or for the sake of marrying Lin Xiaozhi, a talented son of a wealthy family. But even if people give face again, you can't let a group of big people in the circle wait

The champagne was opened, and everyone began to party. With an investment of less than 10 million, the local box office alone exceeded 20 million and achieved a profit. Lin Xiaozhi has never been a stingy person, although he has not received box office dividends from the theater chain until now, but he is still bold and generous with one million as a dividend reward for the crew, which can be described as arrogant, which makes the whole crew very excited.

The real celebration party was actually over when Lin Xiaozhi took out a million bonus to announce the reward for the crew, and the rest of the time was naturally when they made friends, took the opportunity to get to know each other, and broadened their contacts.

Under the recommendation of Huang Baiming, Lin Xiaozhi chatted with the bosses of several film companies such as Deng Guangrong, Hong Jinbao, Zeng Zhiwei, Li Xiuxian, Chen Xunqi, Wu Yusen, Shi Nansheng and other film companies who came to cheer for a while.

After a while, Lin Xiaozhi drank a little high, and he was inevitably drunk and had an accident, he hurriedly found an excuse to go to the bathroom, and only after receiving a few handfuls of cold water to wash his face did he just walk back to the hall, and saw Zhu Zhishan looking for him with a surprised face, and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Lin, Meiya's Boss Li is here again, and he is looking for you everywhere."

In a word, Lin Xiaozhi had another headache.

Since Xinya gradually showed an extraordinary upward momentum in his hands, Li Guoxing has set his sights on Meiya.

As the largest publisher in Hong Kong, Li Guoxing's strength is naturally clear to him, and he also knows that the combination of New Asia, Gameya and Asia is undoubtedly the most correct. New Asia needs Meiya's overseas distribution channels, and Meiya, which does not have its own film production company, also needs a film production company that can provide high-quality film sources for itself. Therefore, since Li Guoxing became interested in New Asia at the beginning of the year, one of the biggest headaches for Lin Xiaozhi in the past six months is that Li Guoxing has called almost every month to ask if New Asia needs funds and whether there are any financing intentions.

"Lin Sheng, long time no see"

Zhu Zhishan led Li Guoxing, who was smiling, to come, facing this publishing giant who was bent on eating New Asia, although Lin Xiaozhi had a smile on his face, but the smiling face really had to be looked at carefully, and it was clear that it was very reluctant.

"Hello Li Dong"

Looking at the young man who shook hands with him with a wry smile on his face, Li Guoxing's eyes flickered slightly for a while before he let go of shaking hands with him.

"In the whole of Hong Kong, except for the Big Three, almost ninety percent of the film companies have cooperated with us in the United States. But what interests me the most is you, New Asia, not only the only one of the many studios I work with that never releases a film in advance before it even starts. Every time you invest in a movie, you can bring a lot of money, and it is something that I and many other people in the industry are amazed at."

Li Guoxing looked at the young man in front of him who was now famous in Xiangjiang and even got a 'wealthy rebel son, the title, and couldn't help but feel a little jealous in his heart. This kind of calmness and merit, but he worked hard until he was close to forty years old, and the other party is only twenty-eight years old now, and there are still a few years of youth before he is thirty. Li Guoxing has already understood the difference of New Asia, and it is because of this that he is so enthusiastic about New Asia.

Hong Kong people are good at gambling, and the same is true in the film industry. For example, that piece of flower is an innovation in the world of Hong Kong films. That is, the director or film company, after getting a script, or relying on a mouth and movie creativity, or relying on some big stars with box office appeal brought by themselves, from the pockets of Taiwanese film companies or distributors, the future income to make a movie in advance, this kind of alternative" participation, this kind of alternative" participation, the technique, seems absurd but has been widely quoted in the Hong Kong film circle.

As the largest distributor in Hong Kong, Meiya is naturally also one of the largest bankers, and every year tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of funds are used to gamble on films, or thus make a lot of money on the overseas distribution rights of a popular movie, or lose very badly because of this, and only get a bad movie that can't be sold.

The film industry is like a battlefield, there are never many generals who win all battles. Shaw Brothers has spent more than 20 million dollars to shoot the epic bad movie "Interstellar Blunt Tire", and Golden Harvest, New Art City, and Debao also have a few movies every year that can't make money or have very low profits. In Hong Kong, there are not no film companies that can keep every movie profitable, and Yongsheng, which has only emerged in the past two years, is one of them. But compared to Xinya, which makes money from each film and earns a lot of money from each film, Yongsheng is backed by Wan An, the largest society in Hong Kong, but the legend is a little worse.

Li Guoxing has cooperated with New Asia several times, and several movies released on his behalf have made money, and the profits are not low. Without its own film production company and stable film source, it has always been the short foot of Li Guoxing and Meiya, and in the past two years, as the Big Three have begun to pay attention to foreign distribution, they have encircled and suppressed the influence of Meiya overseas. It has become the most important thing in Li Guoxing's heart to make up for the shortcomings immediately, and Xinya, who has been making money, is the most suitable complement in his opinion.

"Li Dong's praise is ashamed, our Xinya family has a small business, and naturally it is not as good as those film companies that are not bad for money. Every penny has to be used in the most suitable place, so I have to personally check every movie I invest in. We will make Fengyue films to make money, I will not touch literary and artistic films, and we will actively open up overseas markets to make money in overseas markets. The unreliable director and actor Xinya will never cooperate with them, saying that every movie makes money, but only with his heart"

"It's a good one," Li Guoxing's eyes lit up, and then he was a little surprised, "If other film companies have such a serious attitude as you Xinya, we, the distributors of films, why should we worry about losing money?"

He asked the waiter passing by for a glass of wine, and Li Guoxing also asked for a glass, and the two touched each other and drank it all. At the beginning of the year, he made a bet with Hung Jinbao's Baohe Company on a movie "Heroes of Loyalty", which is based on the classic movie "Seven Samurai" by Japanese master director Akira Kurosawa, which tells the story of seven chivalrous warriors led by Qi Dawei who came to a small mountain village to assist the peasants in repelling the bandits who repeatedly invaded during the warlord division era of the Republic of China. Because Hong Jinbao promised to direct in person, he also invited Zheng Shaoqiu, Liang Chaowei, Zhang Xueyou and many other stars with great popularity and box office appeal to join.

Li Guoxing also looked at the grand cast, and "Seven Samurai" sold billions of yen in Japan that year. When Hung Jinbao came to the door at that time, he gambled all the overseas distribution rights of "Loyal and Righteous Heroes" at a sky-high price of 13 million. Who would have expected that this movie would be released as soon as filming was completed. The audience didn't buy this Japanese-style movie at all, and it was forced to be drawn two weeks after its release, and the box office in the local port was only more than 6 million Hong Kong dollars. New Asia, which naturally never loses money, has a heavier position in Li Guoxing's heart.

Lin Xiaozhi didn't know this allusion, and narrowed his eyes with a little drunkenness: "With all due respect to Chairman Li, Hong Kong's film companies that are stronger than our New Asia abound, and your Meiya family has a lot of money, so why keep staring at my one-third of an acre of land?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Guoxing's eyes lit up and said, "Lin Sheng, you can be regarded as admitting that you have taken over Xinya." ”

Lin Xiaozhi realized that he had leaked his mouth, but Li Guoxing has always been greedy and wants to eat his Xinya, and it is only a matter of time before he knows the details of the Tao, and he has also been annoyed by Li Guoxing in the past few months, and Yu Crisp no longer hides it and readily admits it.

"Yes, it's because I've put it down, so I'm reluctant. At the beginning, I broke into the entertainment industry with two million alone, and worked hard for more than a year, calculating and struggling step by step, so that I have the current Xinya. Li Dong, if it were you, someone wanted to buy Meiya, would you agree? ”

Li Guoxing's face froze, and this was said in his heart. As the largest distributor in Hong Kong, Meiya has a lot of more powerful capital than him, including Taiwanese capital, Hong Kong local capital, and American capital giants from Hollywood who are eager to take the opportunity to meddle in Asian distribution, but Li Guoxing is strong enough to withstand the pressure and let him sell Meiya, Li Guoxing must be reluctant.

was silent for a while, but fortunately, in the past few months, the intention to acquire New Asia has not been responded, Li Guoxing also convened his own think tank to discuss it, and he also guessed a few points about Lin Xiaozhi's mind before he came today, and brought a sincere plan. So when Lin Xiaozhi once again told him euphemistically that he was not going to sell Xinya, he directly took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket and motioned for him to take it.

"Lin Sheng, I came here today mainly to talk to Xinya about two things, the first thing, our two companies have also cooperated for a while, and we are more clear about each other's strength, so we Meiya wants to continue to buy the overseas distribution rights and videotape publishing of the two films "Liao Zhai Yan Tan" and "Water Margin". The second thing is that there is still something about Meiya's stake in New Asia. Lin Sheng, don't be in a hurry to object, here are the conditions given by our Meiya, I believe that Lin Sheng will understand the sincerity of our Meiya after reading it......"

After speaking, he couldn't help but stuff the stacked paper into Lin Xiaozhi's hand.

Lin Xiaozhi frowned slightly, and was slightly dissatisfied with his forcible move. But considering that Meiya is one of the company's largest partners, he didn't have a seizure, but he held the paper in his hand for a while, and seeing that Li Guoxing kept signaling him to open it quickly, he opened it and looked down at it casually.

Immediately, Lin Xiaozhi's eyes suddenly widened. There are only a few short lines of words on the paper, and after reading ten lines at a glance, others seem to be not convinced, and they take it closer and confirm it carefully for a while, and then slowly put the paper away, frowning slightly and thinking about it with their arms around it, and they can clearly see the color of struggle on their faces.

Li Guoxing was not in a hurry to disturb his thinking, the piece of paper was from his hand, and he naturally knew better than anyone what was written on the paper.

"50 million Hong Kong dollars in shares, in exchange for 40% of the shares of New Asia. Except for the placement of a vice president in New Asia, Meiya is not involved in any personnel appointments and filming plans of New Asia. At the same time, it will provide New Asia with an interest-free unsecured loan of HK$20 million within one month after signing the contract, and another 30 million interest-free unsecured loan to New Asia within half a year, which will be used as filming funds

gave up the pursuit of a controlling stake in New Asia, and even promised to guarantee Lin Xiaozhi's absolute right to speak in New Asia, not involving his right to appoint personnel and film freely. Moreover, Meiya will also provide New Asia with an interest-free loan of up to 50 million without any collateral within half a year, which is simply a free benefit.

Lin Xiaozhi was really moved, his ambition was far greater than everyone imagined. If he accepts Meiya's shares, it is equivalent to an additional 100 million funds that he will immediately have in his hands, which is 100 million...... There's so much that can be done.

The breathing gradually became heavier, and it took a while for Lin Xiaozhi to breathe a sigh, and the fierce struggle in his brain made his head feel slightly dizzy and unreal, so that he had to take a deep breath for a while before looking at Li Guoxing, who was standing aside quietly waiting for his reply.

"Meiya's conditions really moved me, and I admit that Li Dong. But I am a stubborn person, but also a confident person, and I believe that Xinya will definitely get better and better day by day in my hands. So, if Meiya wants to take a stake in our Xinya, I can nod and agree, but your conditions must be modified a little more. 50 million Hong Kong dollars into New Asia, I can only give up 30% of the shares, never a little more. Giving up 40% of the shares at once is beyond the bottom line of my heart, which I will never agree. As compensation, the interest-free loan only needs 30 million for our Xinya, and it will arrive within a month......"

As soon as Li Guoxing heard that he was innocent, he lost one percent of the shares, and was just about to open his mouth to bargain with him, when Lin Xiaozhi interrupted him again.

"Li Dong ......" Lin Xiaozhi said: "If it weren't for the production cut of the Big Three this year, I saw the opportunity for the company to catch up with the Big Three, not to mention the Sancheng shares of Xinya, even if it was Yicheng shares, I would not be ready to let go of Lu." I admit that the conditions offered by Meiya this time made me excited, but this time I was only tempted. After I woke up tonight, Meiya couldn't convince me to nod even if she took the terms I was now offering. This is not a lie, last year I bought 30 percent of the shares of New Asia for 5 million Hong Kong dollars, half a year ago Meiya wanted to buy half of us for 30 million, now 30 percent of the shares I said it is worth 50 million, it is worth this price......"

His voice was not loud but firm, and the powerful confidence in his deep tone made Li Guoxing's slightly open mouth close. His chest rose and fell for a while, and then he nodded slightly: "Okay"
