"Come on, come on, ...... cup"

"Yu Cup, Jiahe has been silent for a full year, and finally waited for this day"

"Zou Sheng, I salute you, I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" couldn't be filmed for a long time, and was later rejected by Fox, I originally thought that the investment of nearly 100 million yuan in this movie was going to be wasted"

"Without the twists and turns of the past, how can there be the glory of the present. Congratulations to Zou Sheng, once "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is released in Europe, it will be a matter of time before the box office exceeds 100 million US dollars"

In September, the time had just reached noon in the palatial Shangri-La Hotel, and the originally empty parking lot was full of cars, and there were still a large number of vehicles and guests rushing to the Shangri-La Hotel. There is no other reason than because Golden Harvest, the veteran overlord of the Hong Kong film industry, wants to hold a celebration party at the Shangri-La Hotel, which is a big hit movie "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

Since Zou Minhuai announced in 89 that he had spent a huge amount of money to buy the copyright of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and started filming the movie version of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", more than a year has passed, and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is definitely one of the films that have experienced the most hardships in the history of world films. The filming period of more than a year, the difficulties of American directors, crews and actors, the anti-water refusal of the distributor Twentieth Century Fox, etc., all made Golden Harvest, as a Hong Kong film giant, suffer enough, so that in the entire 89 years, Golden Harvest only started shooting a few films in Hong Kong, and in the following year, no film with an investment of more than 10 million started shooting.

However, this is all in the past. After surviving the most difficult period, Golden Harvest finally ushered in the most brilliant new chapter.

Zou Minhuai stood with his old man He Guanchang and his second son Zou Chongpei, although he raised his wine glass with a smile on his face, the few people standing next to him still saw the excited tears overflowing from the corners of the old man's eyes

"Ladies and gentlemen, the most difficult times have passed. We persevered, so now we succeeded, we paid and deserved to reap now......"

Hundreds of eyes in the hall fell on him, Zou Wenhuai raised the wine glass in his hand, and his soft gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the hall one by one, and the depths of his eyes were pride and pride. Although Zou Minhuai has also received an invitation to the celebration party of the most powerful New Asia Film Company in the past two years, he has never taken the initiative to go once. But judging from only some of the information he knew, it was the recent celebration party of Xinya when "Love Letters" was on sale, and no matter the number and quality of guests, it was not as good as their Golden Harvest.

In the past two years, Golden Harvest had to slow down the filming of Hong Kong movies due to the tension in the financial chain caused by the start of filming "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". Originally, Zou Wenhuai was worried that the old rivals Xinyicheng and Debao would take the opportunity to forcibly occupy the market, but who would have expected that Xinyicheng would slow down the filming of the movie because of the continuous infighting of the three giants like Golden Harvest. Debao is even more unbearable, because the famous brand king Pan Disheng no longer continues to throw money, and Debao, which is already the least profitable of the three giants, has to slow down the filming of the movie.

The production reduction of the three giants has benefited Hong Kong's small and medium-sized film companies. In the past few years, a number of small and medium-sized film companies in Hong Kong have taken the opportunity to occupy the market, among which there are five relatively good film companies rising, which are respected by many filmmakers as the 'five small strong, especially Yongsheng and Xinya, the former boss Xiang brothers have a complex background and even he has to be afraid of a few points, Yongsheng has indeed relied on Wang Jing to shoot a number of popular movies in the past two years. The latter Xinya made him frown even more, in the past two years, Xinya has filmed more than a dozen film blockbusters, which is almost a copy of the rise of Xinyicheng that year, which finally dragged down the Shaw Brothers, and now sees Zou Minhuai, who has dragged down the other two opponents Xinyicheng and Debao Hope, is a little unhappy, because it means that Golden Harvest's hope of dominating the Hong Kong film box office has been disappointed again.

The rise momentum of New Asia is unstoppable, they almost swept nearly seventy percent of the box office this summer, and now the box office of New Asia's "Gambling Saint" has exceeded 40 million Hong Kong dollars, setting a new record for Hong Kong films, and a general trend has been formed.

Their young boss, Lin Xiaozhi, is really amazing

Although he sighed in his heart, Zou Minhuai was not worried. He has been dealing with movies for more than 20 years since he followed Shao Yifu in the UU era and left to establish Golden Harvest in the 70s, so he naturally knows very well that although the rise momentum of New Asia is fast, and the boss Lin Xiaozhi is really amazing, he still lacks a little bit of background, and this is not something that can be cultivated overnight, and it depends on whether several old film companies give them this opportunity.

Debao and Zou Wen of the new art city are not clear, but Jiahe, who has been relieved, will definitely not make the mistakes of the year again.

The release of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" has alleviated the financial crisis that Golden Harvest has lasted for a year and a half, and just two days ago, this film that made him sad finally ended its screening in North America, shocking North America with a box office of 91.47 million US dollars. There was no need for Golden Harvest to rush to the door, and Golden Harvest is now negotiating with European distributors about the European release of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

Although according to the dividend settlement system in North America, Golden Harvest can only get box office dividends at the end of the year at the earliest, but a "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" has brought a lot of income to Golden Harvest in the three North American countries alone, according to the agreement, Golden Harvest can get 3 North American box office dividends, just this is an astronomical amount, nearly 30 million US dollars in box office dividends are equivalent to more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars, and when this huge amount of money arrives, the financial crisis that has plagued Golden Harvest for a year will be completely solved.

What's more, there is a Europe that is not much smaller than the North American market has also opened its doors to them, and once "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is released in Europe, I am afraid that the box office will not be too bad.

Thinking like this, Zou Wenhuai was very relieved, and even felt that his nose was slightly sore, and his tear glands also moved.

He really wanted to cry excitedly, all over the Hong Kong film industry, in terms of ambition and courage, no one can beat him Zou Wenhuai. Since the 70s, Golden Harvest has been planning to enter the European and American markets and achieve the dream of a world-class film group. However, this journey has been full of thorns, first interrupted by the death of Bruce Lee to establish a little popularity in the United States, and then four attempts to enter the United States three failed, not to mention heavy losses, even his confidant Cheng Long lost confidence in whether Golden Harvest could gain a firm foothold in the United States, but he Zou Minhuai still persevered, and only then did today's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" succeed.

It's not easy to get to this point

Thousands of thoughts kept rolling in his mind, although the tear glands were stimulated by many dusty memories in his mind, and he wanted to cry and release the pressure. But as the boss of Golden Harvest and a Hong Kong movie tycoon, Coco Zou knows that he can't cry, at least not in front of people, crying now is the opposite, what he has to do now is to laugh loudly, and the happier he laughs, the better.

“…… Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to our Golden Harvest "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" celebration today, and I hope you all have fun."

With his raised wine glass, the atmosphere of the entire celebration party suddenly became even hotter.

"Dad......"

"Uncle Zou ......"

Halfway through the reception, the crowd around Zou Minhuai changed batch after batch, with his status in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, countless artists and celebrities came to talk to him and flatter, more or less want to climb his relationship and achieve a career.

The two young voices stopped Zou Minhuai, who was talking to Cheng Long, he half-turned his face, and when he saw the two young people standing together, he smiled and nodded with him.

It was his sons Zou Chongpei and Ni Zhen, although they had fought with Shao Yifu for half their lives, but the two rivals also encountered the same trouble. For example, Shao Yifu's sons and daughters would rather go away to Singapore than return to Hong Kong to inherit H, and he Zou Minhuai is not much better, two sons who were originally pinned on him, one speculated on the building and the other became an architect, and they all formed an indissoluble bond with real estate, but they were unwilling to come to Golden Harvest to help him. However, his daughter is very interested in managing the film company, but she is ambitious and talented, and her prestige is difficult to convince the public, so she has made many wrong decisions in Golden Harvest in the past few years.

"Zhenzai, I heard that your father is going to immigrate to the United States?"

Zou Chongpei is his son, Zou Minhuai is naturally not afraid of snubbing him, but beckoned Ni Zhen first.

This Ni was really recommended by his father Ni Mad last year to their Jiahe, and when he first came, he also brought a script over, needless to say that he wanted Jiahe to buy and shoot. Not to mention that Ni Mad is one of the best novelists and screenwriters in Hong Kong, it is the good personal relationship between the two, Zou Minhuai wants to give him a face and read the script brought by Ni Zhen. And the script he brought, Zou Minhuai really seems that although there are some imitations of the routine of the American movie "Rain Man", this young man has cleverly localized the rich American culture of "Rain Man", which can be regarded as a good script, so he also nodded and agreed that Golden Harvest was willing to buy and shoot it, and for Ni Ma's sake, he gave a script price of 200,000 yuan.

However, to his surprise, this Ni Allah asked to reduce the price of the script to 100,000 yuan, but only put forward one condition, hoping to meet with the head of the production team. Coupled with Ni Mad blowing the wind next to him, Zou Minhuai finally agreed to him.

The film, called "My Brother", was limited by Golden Harvest's poor finances, and it was not until April this year that filming began until July, and it was only recently finished and waiting for its release. Golden Harvest has already arranged a release schedule for him, and it will be released in mid-October.

Ni Zhen showed a warm smile on his face, "Who knows, I've been busy with the promotion of the movie recently, and I haven't been home for half a month, maybe it's just a rumor."

In his early years, Ni Mad served as the pen of the British to smear the mainland, and even went to the mainland's blacklist because of this. Now, with the imminent return of Hong Kong, Ni Mad who wrote countless distorted factual articles for money back then can't sit still, lest the Communist Party and the mainland government, which he had slandered after the return, will settle accounts with him, and began to plan the way back to immigrate as early as a few years ago, which has basically been determined. It's just that Ni Zhenzhi doesn't say it in front of outsiders, and after more than a year of training, he has matured a lot more than in the past.

Zou Minhuai was just looking for a topic, Ni Zhen was reluctant to answer, he wouldn't force him to ask, and was about to continue chatting, when suddenly he saw He Guanchang, an old buddy who had just returned to the company in advance, hurriedly walked over to him, with a faint panic on his face.

"Zou Sheng......"

Before the person approached, He Guanchang hurriedly greeted him, as if there was something urgent.

Zou Minhuai could only say sorry to Ni Zhen and a few of them first, and walked a few steps quickly to greet them.

"What's wrong, Ah Chang"

He Guanchang, a confidant and good brother, has always been very steady, Zou Minhuai rarely saw him so flustered, knowing that he was afraid that something urgent had happened, he asked directly at the moment, and the fingers holding the wine glass in his hand involuntarily used a little strength. He had a hunch that it might not be a good thing for He Guanchang to say something.

Sure enough, He Guanchang just stood still, took two big breaths, and said in a hurried voice: "Sanmao just called me and said that he got the news, Pan Disheng sold Debao ......"

"Has Pan Disheng finally sold?"

Zou Minhuai's eyes opened suddenly, but he was not as flustered as his old friend, but there was a faint smug look on his face. He didn't doubt Hung Jinbao's news, Debao was established by him and Cen Jianxun back then, and now there are still a lot of management within Debao, all of which were single-handedly promoted by him back then, so it is not surprising to hear the news

"This is a good thing, the owner of the replacement of Debao will inevitably hurt the bones, if we operate a little better, we can't dig some talents from Debao If the new owner is a person who doesn't know how to do it, maybe there will be no big three in the future."

He Guanchang saw his happy face, and could only smile bitterly, "You don't know who bought Debao in Ludao, and the other party made a big move, not only bought Debao Film Company, but also bought Debao Cinema Line together, Lao Zou, we are in trouble."

In front of people, he called Zou Minhuai by honorific titles, and there was no one around him at this time, so he had no scruples, and directly said Lao Zou, so that Zou Minhuai, who noticed his mood fluctuations, changed his face slightly, and hurriedly asked: "Who is the person who bought Debao?" ”

"Lin Xiaozhi, the rebel son of a wealthy family"

Seven words spat out of his mouth, but like a thunderbolt, Zou Minhuai was stunned in shock. He was still proud, thinking that with Jiahe's heritage and connections, it was very simple to suppress a newly rising Xinya with an unstable foundation, but he didn't want to take a while, and the bad news came from his old friend He Guanchang.

Lin Xiaozhi acquired Debao Film Company and Debao Cinema Line, and with his aggressiveness and youth, Zou Minhuai has seen that an opponent who is far more difficult to deal with than the new art city and the golden princess who had a seven-person team in the past was born

"The famous brand king or the sale of Debao is out, the wealthy rebel throws hundreds of millions of dollars to take over Debao, and a new giant in the Hong Kong film industry is born"

Pan Disheng, the famous brand king, and Lin Xiaozhi, the rebel son of the wealthy family, one of the two is a famous brand king in Hong Kong, with dozens of brands of clothing under their names. The other is known as the news maker in Hong Kong, as long as reporters and major media keep an eye on him, they are absolutely not afraid of no news to report. So the two first came into contact, and it didn't take long for the news to be grasped by the media. Under the attention of the major media in Hong Kong, the confusing gossip soon approached the center after stripping away the cocoon, and a big news that shocked the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry was finally poked out on the fourth day when Lin Xiaozhi and Pan Disheng had dinner together. It was only two days later than the high-level executives of Golden Harvest who had the source.

The news circulated out of the air, facing an interview with the outside world. Pan Disheng, a famous brand king who has always behaved approachably in front of the media, refused to reply with a tough attitude for the first time, "no comment"

In the face of this big news, "Ming Pao", which couldn't sit still, personally sent the editor-in-chief to block the car of Cen Jianxun, the president of Debao Cinemas, hoping to get some news from him.

"I don't know anything, I'm still waiting for Pan Sheng's notice" In the face of the interview with "Ming Pao", Cen Jianxun behaved in the same strict tone as Pan Disheng. Even some ordinary Debao employees who were blocked by other media did not know anything when they were interviewed.

"I don't know what's going on...... I've heard that someone mentioned that Lin Sheng acquired our Debao...... But the above hasn't been notified yet, and if you ask your boss, you'll be angry......"

The media ran into a wall with Pan Disheng and Debao, and as soon as he turned around, he remembered Lin Xiaozhi, who was known as the maker of the news, so a team of up to 100 people gathered outside the Kowloon Bank Building, all of them seemed to have learned the skills of investigation and reconnaissance without a teacher, guarding all the external exits to and from the Kowloon Bank Building, so that not only a large number of New Asia Film Company and bank staff were harassed, but even Lin Xiaozhi, one of the rumored protagonists, was soon in the net laid by hundreds of media reporters. He was stopped in a disguised car and forced to be interviewed.

“…… I can't answer this question for the time being, but if you're really interested, you might as well wait a few days

Although in Lin Xiaozhi's view, his reply is just an ambiguous answer. But he underestimated the media's associative power, and his attitude of not decisively denying that he had something to say and stopped talking about has made many media guess the correct answer. As a result, the overwhelming coverage once again swept the whole of Hong Kong.

"Oriental Daily" because of its bad relationship with Lin Xiaozhi, naturally there will be no positive reports on it, "The film triumvirate Debao Sheng rumor has been sold, and it is reported that the acquirer is a wealthy rebel who has only recently become the owner of the family bank." This makes us feel that the bank is really rich, but we also have to worry about the depositors of the bank, and their deposits are misappropriated by others at will, is this a good thing or a bad thing......"

"There is nothing worse than this, an old giant falls, and a new and more powerful giant rises," said an old man in the industry who accepted "Ming Pao": "The birth of a giant will undoubtedly continue to compress the living space of small and medium-sized film companies...... But on the other hand, the audience is blessed. With the acquisition of Debao's resources, the well-funded New Asia will undoubtedly increase the number of films, which is a good thing for the audience."

"The Birth of a Film Empire" - "Cheng Pao" even directly typed such a headline, relying on the special relationship with Lin Xiaozhi, "Cheng Pao" was recognized from Lin Xiaozhi when other media were still confirming whether this news was true, and knew far more than other media

According to the exclusive information of this newspaper, the acquisition of Debao Company was not in the name of New Asia Film Company, but in the private capacity of Lin Xiaozhi. This huge acquisition, which shocked the Hong Kong entertainment industry, may have used a total of nearly NT$1.2 billion. It is rumored that the two parties have signed an equity transfer agreement, and it is believed that the two parties will announce this news within a week at most."
