In the past two years, the eldest grandson of the Lin family has always behaved decently, but it was this second child who had not learned and had no skills before, and suddenly opened his mind to break out of the sky in the entertainment industry that the Lin family had never been exposed to before, and became more and more capable. Seeing a group of people surrounding Lin Xiaozhi in the middle, Lin Jili looked at Lao Huai and was very relieved.

Seeing an acquaintance in the conference room, I said to him, gave them the space, and the young men left.

As soon as the old man left, some people who were still a little concerned about his identity and couldn't let go also chatted.

"Lin Dong, congratulations"

"Lin Sheng, such a festive thing, you big boss have to be bold and treat you when you look back."

“…… I wish the listing of Media Asia a smooth sailing......"

There were already a lot of people in the conference hall, and more than half of them were acquaintances from the entertainment industry and the film industry who had received his invitation. Zeng Zhiwei and Sammo Hung and Chen Xunqi were the earliest, and Deng Guangrong recently made a cameo appearance in a movie and is now filming in Taiwan, so he asked Liu Zhenwei, who has a good relationship with him, to come over on his behalf. Cen Jianxun had a colder relationship with him after he resigned, although he received an invitation but did not come in person, two days ago, he first asked Xian Qiran to convey congratulations on his behalf, and yesterday he asked Tong Ling, who had an unclear relationship with him, to help him send a flower basket to Huanya.

"Thank you for coming to the show today, to be honest, as the first listed film company in Hong Kong, Lin's confidence is not enough" Standing with Zeng Zhiwei and Sammo Hung, who have never had stage fright, Lin Xiaozhi also shook out his uneasiness half-jokingly and half-truthfully

"We don't believe this, Li Sheng didn't sleep well, but Lin Sheng slept very soundly, this is a sign of confidence......" This magnetic male voice, Lin Xiaozhi followed the prestige, and saw that Fa Ge and Wu Yusen were also in the crowd. Although he and Lin Xiaozhi have never cooperated, they have dealt with each other a few times, and they can be regarded as some friendships, and they dare to make an ordinary joke.

"Brother Fa, Brother ∫, you are here too" As soon as he saw the two of them, a smile on his face suddenly became a little thicker, "I heard that you went to Europe to film recently, and I was still regretting yesterday, without you two big stars and big directors to support us, our stars will be dim......"

This is the first time Lin Xiaozhi has seen Zhou Runfa in the past half a year, and in the past 90 years, like his friend Wu Yusen, Zhou Runfa has had a very bad time.

Although the quality of Lao Wu's "Bloody Heroes" filmed in 89 is high, ninety percent of Hong Kong's bad movies are heroic films that imitate his style, but this movie was not popular in the end, and it did not make a lot of money for investors like his proud work "The True Color of Heroes". It's a pity that Wu Yusen didn't realize this, and last year he filmed another "Bloody Street" and ended up losing money, and the investors were unhappy. In addition, there is an 'old opponent, Xu Ke's obstruction, and when he finally wanted to shoot "Across the Seas", he ended up with no one willing to invest for a while, including the old club Princess Jin, and finally had to stuff the script to Xian Qiran for a co-production after hearing that Debao was acquired by him Lin Xiaozhi.

Fa Ge's experience is not much better than him, since he terminated the contract with H, he has only signed contracts with Xinyicheng, Debao, and Xu Ke Studio, but they are all ministry-level contracts that are not highly binding, and the longest time limit is only about two years. In the second half of the year before last, after Wang Jing created the script of "God of Gamblers", he directly asked Hua Qiang for Zhou Runfa, saying that only he could play the role of 'Gao Jin, this role, and even slapped his chest to ensure that as long as he played, the movie would be popular. Wang Fatzi is the chief director of Yongsheng, and his words naturally listened to the Xiang brothers, and immediately contacted Fa Ge.

Fa Ge had some personal relations with Xiang Huaqiang, because he was afraid of his status on the road, he agreed to shoot "God of Gamblers" for Yongsheng, and even accepted the extremely low price offered by Yongsheng. As a result, "God of Gamblers" swept the Hong Kong box office. In Hong Kong alone, the ticket price exceeded 41 million Hong Kong dollars, although it was cheated by the four major theater merchants, and the box office officially recognized by the theater merchants was only more than 36 million Hong Kong dollars, which passed by the honor of Hong Kong's first film with a box office of more than 40 million. But relying on "God of Gamblers" to open up the release channels in Southeast Asia, Taiwan and Japan, in general, Yongsheng is still relatively satisfied.

The success of "God of Gamblers" made the Xiang brothers see the acting skills and influence of superstars, so as soon as the movie was released, Xiang Huasheng made up his mind and was ready to sign Zhou Runfa as a box office guarantee. It's a pity that the conditions given by Yongsheng are not superior, and he is not allowed to take the play privately, so he was politely rejected by him during the first interview. Later, the Xiang brothers modified some conditions, but Fa Ge was still unwilling to sign a contract, and this uncooperative attitude finally annoyed the Wan'an boss, and as a result, he was forced to be half-soft and half-hard, not only forced him to enter, but Wan'an drank blood wine and became a Wan'an congregation, and signed a contract with Yongsheng that was only slightly better than harsh.

According to the contract provided by Yongsheng, during the contract period, if Zhou Yunfa takes on external scenes, the remuneration shall not be less than 6 million Hong Kong dollars, and Yongsheng will have to take half of it. For the rest, whether it is advertising endorsement or attending events, Yongsheng has to take a large share. In addition, the contract also stipulates that he will give an internal price for Yongsheng's films. What is the internal price of this one, it is said that it is only one million Hong Kong dollars. Fortunately, Yongsheng is also concerned about his influence, of course, the most important thing is that Fa Ge's father-in-law, Singaporean billionaire Chen Shoulin, intervened in this matter, and in the end his contract with Yongsheng was only one year.

was forced to sign the overlord contract, and Fa Ge suffered a secret loss, and he was also angry in his heart. First, he returned to his hometown of Lamma Island to accompany his mother for more than two months, and then accompanied his wife Chen Huilian to Singapore for a few months.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Jing also helped a lot for this kind of non-cooperation of his friends. Yongsheng wanted to force him to film with the contract in hand last year, so he urged him several times to ask for the script of the sequel to "God of Gamblers", but Wang Fatzi used the excuse of no inspiration. And Fa Ge's worth in Hong Kong is not something that ordinary shoddy bad films can afford, and powerful film companies have heard more or less that he was forcibly signed by Yongsheng, with Fa Ge's reputation in the Hong Kong film circle, everyone tacitly agrees that he will not be invited to film and resist Yongsheng's means.

As a result, in the past 1990, Zhou Runfa didn't accept a movie, and only accepted one at a friendly price for advertising endorsements. With the attitude of not taking on the drama for a full year, Fa Ge can be said to have taught another lesson to the Xiang brothers who turned black to white after the "God of Gamblers Box Office Incident". I heard that it was because of his move that Yongsheng, who suffered another loss, now began to learn the signing rules of the Hong Kong film company, although he blindly forced the artist to film only by force.

Fa Ge smiled and didn't speak, but Wu Yusen next to him blushed and took the initiative to speak: "Media Asia is listed today, we must come to the show, and we also found some problems during the filming of the movie, and we need to go back to Hong Kong." ”

Among Hong Kong's well-known commercial film directors, Wu Yusen is probably the only person Lin Xiaozhi knows who can't lie. He was slightly stunned when he heard this, and knew that the movie he said must be the one co-produced with Debao. nodded immediately and said: "I see, if there is any need, Brother ∫, you can discuss it directly with Mr. Xian."

As he spoke, a fragrant wind struck. Lin Xiaozhi swept his eyes, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Why do you say, it turns out that he saw a beautiful woman who was holding a man's arm at this time, and the two didn't know when Lu Dao came to his side. These two Lin Xiaozhi know each other, the woman is Zhong Chuhong, the heroine of "Across the Seas", and the man is Zhu Jiading, a famous advertising talent in Hong Kong.

"Lin Sheng, congratulations ......"

Seeing that Lin Xiaozhi saw himself, Zhong Chuhong pursed his lips and smiled. It is undeniable that Zhong Chuhong has a sexy figure and a delicate face, she filmed some large-scale movies in her early years, although she was once classified as a star. But in the past few years, relying on her own efforts, she has transformed into a powerful female artist early, and now she has won the title of "Hong Kong's sexiest female star", which can almost be said to be the signature female artist in the Hong Kong film industry

Zhu Jiading, an advertising genius in a gray suit with a bow, also congratulated him with a smile: "Congratulations to Lin Sheng's group for going public, don't be surprised to disturb me uninvited today." ”

Unlike his girlfriend Zhong Chuhong, Zhu Jiading's appearance is not outstanding except for his height, but he looks like a middle-aged man in his forties. It's no wonder that many fans of Honggu angrily scolded a flower for sticking it in cow dung when they learned that the two had a scandal. However, Lin Xiaozhi will not underestimate this person, as one of the most well-known people in the international community of the real Hong Kong elite, Zhu Jiading's advertising advertisements have not only repeatedly won the highest award in Hong Kong's advertising industry, "Hong Kong Golden Sail Award", such as Citigroup, Ford, Panasonic and other dozens of internationally renowned brands when they enter Hong Kong, are designed by him personally, Zhu Jiading's strength can be seen.

The reason why Lin Xiaozhi knows him is mainly because one of the main businesses of film and television companies is to shoot promotional advertisements for some large group companies. Earlier, he was busy making movies, and he didn't have the energy to meddle in this part. However, with the establishment of the group, in order to ensure performance, a huge market that can contribute tens of billions of profits every year and is seven or eight times higher than the box office in Hong Kong is also targeted by him. Media Asia has a lot of signed new directors and artists, even if they can't grab some big meat to eat, some broth in the river is estimated to be no worse than the annual profit contributed by the local box office.

However, considering that he has little experience in this area, he once thought about buying Zhu Jiading's advertising company, but unfortunately after inquiring, he learned that the 'Lingzhi advertising company' he established in 83 has been swallowed up by the giant crocodile N Group in the international advertising industry. Rao is Lin Xiaozhi still has billions of Hong Kong dollars in his hands, but in the face of this giant with assets of nearly four billion US dollars, he can only frown secretly.

"Thank you two for coming to the ......" Lin Xiaozhi smiled and thanked him, the reason why he was a little surprised just now is because although everyone in the industry knows that Zhong Chuhong has been secretly dating Hong Kong's famous advertising genius Zhu Jiading in recent years, but the two have never admitted this relationship in front of people, let alone exposed, but it is not clear why the two of them took the initiative to show affection in front of people today.

chatted with Zhu Jiading for a while, probably not used to so many showbiz people around him, and soon found an excuse to leave with Zhong Chuhong.

As soon as the two left, Leslie Cheung, who had just arrived, sighed enviously: "A lover will eventually become a family, Ah Hong is getting married, it's good"

Lin Xiaozhi was stunned by one sentence, and before he could react, Zhou Yanfa on the side joked at him: "I regret it now......"

Seeing that Lin Xiaozhi was still unclear about the situation, he whispered: "Ah Hong will no longer take on the drama after filming "Across the Seas", Zhu Sheng has already proposed to her, and it is no surprise that good things will be within this year."

As soon as he explained this, Lin Xiaozhi suddenly realized, looked at the two people who walked away and said with some regret: "I should congratulate, but I still feel a pity, Honggu is still so young......

Leslie Cheung was teased by Fa Ge, and he couldn't laugh or cry on his face. In fact, Zhou Yunfa said well, a few years ago, Leslie Cheung and Zhong Chuhong not only left a lot of couple roles on the screen, but also had a good personal relationship in reality, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are confidantes. His temperament is too awkward, he hesitates to look forward and backward, except for his first love and Mao Shunyun, he has never taken the initiative to pursue a woman, but he is very charming, and as a result, he has attracted one woman after another to surround him willingly.

There are a bunch of confidantes after the most embarrassing queens, such as Wang Zuxian, Zhong Chuhong, Li Lizhen, He Chaoqiong, etc., except for the emperor's little princess who took the initiative to attack him and once became his girlfriend, the rest of the women who have been silently following him for a few years are finally married. Even he himself ended up lonely, hesitating to harm others and himself.

was about to take the opportunity to persuade him, when he suddenly heard a few noises outside, Lin Xiaozhi looked up and had to swallow back the words that came to his mouth. I said sorry to the group of people around me and hurried up to meet them.

It turned out that a few people had just walked in from the door of the conference hall, and the identities of these people were really amazing. The two gray-haired old men, one named Lin Baixin, is one of the top ten Chinese billionaires in Hong Kong, and the boss of Lixin Group, a Hong Kong clothing tycoon and a new giant in the real estate industry. The other is a little shorter, the chairman of the board of directors of the Far Eastern Group, although his worth is not as good as Lin Baixin, but it is not less than billions of Hong Kong dollars, and one of the old super-rich people in Hong Kong is Qiu Degen, the former boss of ATV and Far Eastern Bank

"Qiu Sheng, Uncle Jiu, are you here......"

Along with the two of them, there were Lin Jianming, the new president of ATV, and Lin Jianle, the vice chairman of the board of directors of Lixin Group. In addition to the five other people, he only recognized one person as a director of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange named Chen Jinnian, and the other four did not know any of them.

"Hehe, you stinky boy personally invited me, how can Uncle Nine come to cheer you on"

Lixin Group is also a listed company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and has recently applied to become a constituent stock of the Hang Seng Index.

Seeing that Lin Jili was also here, Lin Baixin hurriedly asked his two sons to greet him. Qiu Degen also worked in a bank, and Lin Jili was also an acquaintance, and he only learned when he introduced Lin Xiaozhi that two of the four people he didn't recognize were his sons, and the other was Lin Baixin's adopted third son, Lin Jiankang.

"The fourth brother is idle now, and Ah Zhi is a person who is involved in big things, and now he is becoming more and more capable. I often use him to reprimand the three unsuccessful children in the family, saying that if they have half of Achi's ability, I can comfortably hand over the class and learn from you......"

Looking at the high-spirited Lin Xiaozhi on the side, Lin Baixin, who has paid attention to him a lot in the past few years, has surprise, envy and a little emotion in his eyes. Not compared to Lin Jili, who doesn't know much about Lin Xiaozhi in the past two years, Xinya was still ATV's industry earlier, Lin Xiaozhi has also dealt with ATV in the past few years, Lin Baixin can be said to be watching his nephew climb up little by little, never worth his own small leather bag company president of a car, first earned the first 10 million in his life, and then became a new generation of billionaires, and then evolved into a giant in the film industry, Hong Kong man of the year, and now he is immediately like him, sitting on a listed company.

From scratch to the listing of your own company. It took Lin Baixin a full forty years to complete this leap, while his little nephew only took barely three years. When he heard that his newly established Media Asia Group was going public, Lin Baixin was surprised to drop his favorite red jade Pixiu.

"Jianming and Jianle have also grown up, so it's time for them to share more pressure on you. This is Jiankang, ah, good boy......"

Lin Jiankang is Lin Baixin's adopted brother's child, more than a dozen of their brothers have passed away this year, and some brothers are not doing very well, this Lin Jiankang can also talk and do things, Lin Baixin likes it, and after his father died, he passed over and became his adopted son.

The lively exchange lasted only a few minutes, and Chen Jinnian, the director of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, gave them a moment to exchange time before reminding: "Everyone, the time is almost up." The listing ceremony of Media Asia will take a little preparation time, so why don't we go over first......"

His words reminded everyone that the listing ceremony was about to begin.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the listing ceremony of our Media Asia Group......

After some adjustments, Lin Xiaozhi finally completely abandoned the tension and uneasiness in his heart. As Chairman of the Board of Directors of Media Asia Group, he will represent the entire Board of Directors and address all those involved in the Group's listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

With the sound of "bang", after his brief speech, Zhou Kanglin, vice chairman of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and the two of them personally opened the champagne, and in the gushing aroma of the wine, a group of film, media and business people who were invited to participate in the listing of the Media Asia Group quickly gathered around the Media Asia group to send blessings.

"Congratulations"

Lin Baixin, Qiu Degen, Zhou Runfa, Wu Yusen and others also took the stage to say a few brief speeches as invited guest representatives, and as the time gradually pointed to nine o'clock, the institution in Asia, second only to the Tokyo Stock Exchange, has begun to get busy.

The official opening time of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is 9:30, and the period from 9 to 9:30 is the bidding stage of securities institutions before the Hong Kong Stock Exchange begins, and it is also a more important stage for Lin Xiaozhi and Media Asia Group, because the price per share of Media Asia is only the issue price of the underwriter, and the stock price of the group after listing is real.

It directly affects the price of Media Asia Group after the market opens.

"Founded in 1990, Media Asia Group Co., Ltd. owns companies such as New Asia Films, Debao Films, Debao Cinemas, Meiya Distribution, and New Asia Records, and many of its subsidiaries have good performance and profitability, making it the leading film integrated entertainment group in Hong Kong."

On the podium, Zhou Kanglin, vice president of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, was reading the latest performance report that had been reviewed by Media Asia Group to the major securities companies and members who were preparing to bid.

"In the four quarters of 1990, the total revenue of Media Asia Group was 10.75 million Hong Kong dollars, of which the net profit was 3.07 million Hong Kong dollars. Thanks to the opening up of the markets in Japan, Europe and the United States, Media Asia has the best profitability in the Hong Kong film industry, not only a pure traditional film production group, but also has upstream and downstream channels including publicity, distribution, release, etc., is a rare high-quality enterprise According to the latest data we have obtained from Media Asia, the final box office data of its subsidiary New Asia "Red Alert" film in Europe last year was 7655. US$710,000 (approximately HK$9.7 billion). According to the dividend agreement, MA will receive 96 from it. US$710,000 (about HK$800 million) dividends (because European and American dividends can only be credited to the account after about four or five months or even half a year after the release, they are not counted in the profit of the previous year). At the same time, it was affected by the European box office hits. Several European distribution giants are chasing the film's national videotape distribution rights and North American distribution rights, and it is conservatively estimated that Media Asia will complete the follow-up release and distribution in the next few months, and the follow-up profits may still be above this. At the same time, Media Asia has arranged for "Red Alert" to be released in Japan today. Next, enter the listing bidding stage of Media Asia Group......"

In the midst of the loud applause, Media Asia Group kicked off the prelude to the listing
