The guests came quickly, and after waiting for a while, they didn't see a big guy coming, Lin Xiaozhi also followed into the hotel, leaving only Zhang Wanting's husband and Xinya's production director Zhu Zhishan at the door to continue to greet guests, and as soon as seven o'clock arrived, the celebration of "Love Letter" was ready to start.

“…… Thank you friends for coming to the "Love Letter" celebration party today......"

In the center of the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, Zhang Wanting and his wife, as the directors of the movie "Love Letter", are giving a speech on the glory of the first resignation, they are ready to let Lin Xiaozhi come, but he refused. He doesn't want to do this kind of noisy thing, after all, "Love Letter" can be successful, Zhang Wanting and his wife and the crew have made great efforts, not to mention that with his current fame, he doesn't need to compete with the "Love Letter" crew anymore.

Post-production of Red Alert has been completed, and preparations are already underway for the promotion and distribution of Red Alert. Lin Xiaozhi is still quite satisfied with his own movie. Limited by the fact that the special effects skills in Hong Kong are too weak, "Red Alert" failed to achieve the most satisfactory results. But compared with the usual small pattern of Hong Kong movies, Cheng Long's "Police Story" is inferior to his "Red Alert" line, I believe that Europeans who have been raised by Hollywood movies will surely have bright eyes.

Lin Xiaozhi is confident that New Asia can successfully succeed "Killer Leon" and "Friends" with this movie, and successfully gain a firm foothold in the European and American markets. Therefore, he doesn't need to take credit from others at all, even if the script of "Love Letter" is from him.

"Boss, we couldn't negotiate with the Japanese to release it in the summer. Even if we took a step back and chose September, Kadokawa Pictures did not agree to schedule a film for us. "Tonight's "Love Letter" celebration party, New Asia distribution manager Zheng Fei also came, he just came back from South Korea, has already completed the distribution of Japan and South Korea, but failed to achieve New Asia's expected goal: "South Korea will choose the opportunity to release at the end of September, but the Japanese side Kadokawa agreed to postpone one their film released in early October and give us the screening......"

Lin Xiaozhi's face did not change expressionly, but nodded flatly: "The Japanese box office is almost ten times that of our Hong Kong, and the summer prime time has long been formed, and it is normal for Haruki Kadokawa to be reluctant to schedule films for us in the summer file." It's just that we Xinya are not well-known in Japan, and the few movies exported to Japan before failed to become popular, so that the Japanese people will remember our movies thoroughly, but I am very confident in "Love Letter", maybe this movie can help us completely open the door to Japan, maybe it's right, you have to work hard. Next Monday you can lead the team to the UK, Red Alert has finished post-production, and I hope this film can help us completely open up the European market......"

Zheng Fei raised his eyebrows when he heard this, not only did he not feel the hardship of running outside, but he felt a little impatient and excited, "Boss, the post-production of "Your Red Alert" is complete?" ”

He was the first group of people to follow Lin Xiaozhi, and he also had a clear insight into the ambition of his boss Lin Xiaozhi. As early as when the filming of "Killer Leon" started, Lin Xiaozhi discussed with him many times how to enter the European and American markets. He drew on Golden Harvest's experience in entering the U.S. market for more than ten years, and put forward a plan of 'Europe first and then America, which not only planned to bring films to the Venice Film Festival, but also prepared to take advantage of the special relationship between Hong Kong and the United Kingdom to wait for an opportunity to gain a firm foothold in the United Kingdom.

Regarding his ambitious plans, Zheng Fei only regarded him as delusional at first. And the plan is not all smooth sailing, the reality of "Killer Leon" missed the Venice Film Festival because of post-production, and then the promotion of "Killer Leon" in the UK has also experienced a lot of stories. But Xinya still gritted his teeth and survived at the insistence of the boss, so he has the limelight now to beat Debao, and has been called by some media as "one of the four giants of Hong Kong films, Xinya Film Company."

Because of his past success, Zheng Fei now trusts Lin Xiaozhi very much. A series of successes of New Asia are all based on the command of Lin Xiaozhi, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the soul of New Asia. I just came back from running in Japan and South Korea, and I'm going to Europe again. Although he was physically tired, he had a beautiful vision for the future in his heart, and Zheng Fei didn't think it would be too tiring to be sent to the UK. On the contrary, he can't wait to see if Lin Xiaozhi's film Red Alert, which cost 40 million Hong Kong dollars in pre-shooting alone, and has to be paid separately for post-production and publicity, can set off a storm in Europe.

Lin Xiaozhi smiled and nodded, "It's done, it has been submitted to the electrical inspection office for rating, and it is estimated that the results will be available in these two days." That's why I'm asking you to go next week, by the way, this time to Europe, don't patronize and deal with 'OD, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, etc., there are many publishers in Europe, we can accept some losses, but you have to remember. It must be guaranteed that Red Alert will be released throughout Europe by the end of the year"

Zheng Fei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded heavily.

Zhang Wanting and his wife's speech, Cen Jianxun was not in the mood to listen, "Love Letter" was released by the Debao Cinema he was responsible for, and even the dividends were paid by him to Xinya himself, he naturally knew how much money Xinya made better than others. He was more interested in the low-pitched conversation between the young man not far away and an executive of his company than that, so he pretended to get closer and pricked up his ears to listen.

Although the conversation between the two can be low-voiced, if you have the heart to listen, you can still hear some. Cen Jianxun listened to some conversations between the two one after another, and learned that Lin Xiaozhi's blockbuster Red Alert, which is said to have invested more than 40 million, had just completed post-production, and he immediately sent people to the UK to run non-stop publicity, with both admiration and emotion in his heart, and at the same time a little bitterness in the making.

Drinking all the wine in the wine glass in his hand, Cen Jianxun glanced at Lin Xiaozhi, who was standing not far away, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and slowly walked towards him.

Debao is finished

Just three days ago, Pan Disheng personally hosted a banquet for Debao Film Company and several high-level executives of the theater chain, and announced for the first time at the banquet that he would not invest a penny in Debao, and also announced that he would speed up the search for a receiver and strive to sell Debao before the end of the year. With the ruthlessness of the famous brand king, everyone knows that Debao Company, one of the old three giants that has dominated the Hong Kong film market for several years, is finished!

The outside world may not know the news yet, but Cen Jianxun is not an outsider, he is the president of Debao Cinemas, and no one knows what happened to Debao better than him.

"Lin Sheng......"

Hearing the call from the side, Lin Xiaozhi turned his face away, and saw at a glance that it was Cen Jianxun who greeted him, and shook the wine glass in his hand with a smile: "We really have a tacit understanding, Mr. Cen." I was looking for you, but I didn't expect you to show up."

After saying that, he saw that the wine glass in Cen Jianxun's hand was empty, his face was a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly put down the raised wine glass again. Fortunately, Cen Jianxun didn't seem to be in a good mood and didn't notice his actions. And Lin Xiaozhi also quickly noticed it, and asked curiously: "Mr. Cen, are you not feeling well, I see that you are not in good spirits?"

It's no wonder that the spirit can get better

Cen Jianxun made a bitter face, and his mouth moved for a while before he sighed, "It's nothing, I'm a little uncomfortable, I just want to talk to someone I will congratulate Lin Sheng first, the film company's profits are getting better and better." Now there's another banking ......"

can grind the hot-tempered Sham Kin-hoon like this, and there are not many people in the whole of Hong Kong who have this ability. Lin Xiaozhi's heart moved, and he asked almost without thinking: "What, could it be that Pan Sheng has already found a new buyer for Debao?" ”

This is a bit out of place, Lin Xiaozhi also knows this, but he is also eyeing Debao, if it weren't for the fact that oil futures have been soaring recently, he was reluctant to throw away the goods and run away after being aroused, and he would have already made an appointment with Pan Disheng to initiate the acquisition of Debao.

Cen Jianxun was stunned, but he didn't expect him to ask this question. Although the famous brand king Pan Disheng wants to sell Debao, this is no longer news in Hong Kong. Similarly, Cen Jianxun's personal relationship with Lin Xiaozhi is not bad, but there are still some things that cannot be said in the business field, such as the Debao he represents is actually in competition with New Asia

replied ambiguously at the moment: "No, at least I myself have not received a notice from Pan Sheng in this regard."

"Really?"

Seeing that his expression didn't look fake, Lin Xiaozhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and when he saw that there was no one left and right, he immediately lowered his voice and said to him: "Then I'm relieved, can I ask Mr. Cen for you to help me bring a word to Pan Sheng?" ”

In a burst of applause, Zhang Wanting and his wife ended their speeches, the celebration began again, and the atmosphere in the hall became lively again.

Cen Jianxun was in a bad mood and wanted to drink, so he beckoned a waiter and asked for a glass of wine: "What words?" ”

He asked after halfing the wine in his glass.

"500 million Hong Kong dollars, Pan Sheng can take away all the funds of Debao Company, but I want to leave a complete Debao to me" Lin Xiaozhi said flatly, and his eyes glanced at a corner not far away, a young man about twenty-three or four years old was surrounding Ye Zilintel to flatter, seeing that he seemed to say something to make the woman giggle, his brows frowned slightly.

He knew that man, his surname was Zou, and his full name was Zou Chongpei. I heard that I had an architectural design studio, although it was just an unknown architect in Hong Kong. I can't bear that he still has an identity, which is the second son of Zou Minhuai, the boss of Golden Harvest. Although this Zou Ershao is not in the entertainment industry, he has this important identity, which makes Lin Xiaozhi have to wonder if he has other purposes for approaching the popular female artist that his company is now promoting.

Ye Yuqing, who was poached by Jiahe and cultivated by himself, Lin Xiaozhi has not forgotten it to this day.

"It's better to go to Ye Zilintel tonight and sit down," his eyes turned cold slightly, Lin Xiaozhi squinted and glanced at Zou Ershao a few times, he still understood the principle of taking precautions.

"Bang Bang ......"

The sound of the wine glass falling to the ground made Lin Xiaozhi turn his attention for a while, smelling the heavy aroma of wine that suddenly spread, Lin Xiaozhi looked at his feet, and immediately knew that this wine glass was caused by Cen Jianxun.

"Sir, you're all right......

It is worthy of a five-star hotel and the quality of the waiters is very high. Seeing a broken wine glass, a waiter stepped forward immediately, "I'll change it for you......"

"Oh, I'm sorry for you" Cen Jianxun came back to his senses at this time, absentmindedly took a glass of wine handed by the waiter, and saw that the waiter beckoned someone to come over to clean up, and immediately motioned for Lin Xiaozhi to follow him, and the two of them arrived in a corner with few people, and he regained his famous hot temper.

"Lin Sheng, do you want to buy Debao?" Cen Jianxun's face turned red, "This is not a joke......

"Why, does Cen always think I'm joking?" Lin Xiaozhi smiled and shook his wine glass,". 500 million is not a small number, but I, Lin Xiaozhi, can still afford it."

Cen Jianxun opened his mouth and was about to speak, but suddenly remembered that he had just joined the family bank, so he swallowed the question that came to his mouth, frowned and shook his head and said, "Impossible, Lin Sheng, if you really want to buy Debao,." 500 million will never be bought. I can tell you a little bit that someone once offered 8.5 billion to buy Debao Film Company, but Pan Sheng directly rejected it, and he didn't even talk about it...... Pan Sheng has high expectations for Debao, he has also invested 200 million, and once said in person that he will not talk about it if it is less than 300 million......"

The implication is clear......

"This is just an intention, Mr. Cen might as well help me change words to Pan Sheng again. Debao is not worth 300 million, our New Asia caught up with Debao Movies in scale at the beginning of last year, the difference is only the heritage and cinema line, and after this year, New Asia will throw Debao Movies farther and farther away. Now the three giants of the new art city are still fighting among themselves, and they don't even have a filming plan, and the new art city is about to fall; Golden Harvest's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" has been released and sold well in the United States, but it is a hot sale in Europe and the United States, and it will take almost half a year to get the dividends. As for you Debao, Mr. Cen knows better than me......"

Seeing that Cen Jianxun's face was getting more and more ugly, Lin Xiaozhi didn't seem to see half of it, and suddenly raised his glass and drank it all, his face was full of confidence: ""Silly Guy Birthday Greeting" is more than 17UU, "A Comic Book Goes to the World" is more than 1 million, "Cheating Treasure" is more than UU, "Qin Warriors" is more than UU, "Love Letter" is more than 34UU, since the beginning of this year, we have five films released in Xinya and created a box office of more than 120 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, accounting for about one-third of the total box office in Hong Kong in the first seven months of this year...... Now our "Saint of Gambling" is about to be released, "Red Alert" has also completed post-production and is waiting for release, and New Asia still has at least three filming plans in the second half of the year...... In 1990, this was the year of our New Asia, and we were going to make ten films this year, and next year that number will increase to about fifteen...... The rise of New Asia is too lacking in background and distribution channels, and I can now clearly feel that there are more and more problems that hinder our faster development, and the acquisition of Debao can undoubtedly make up for our shortcomings...... Not to mention ......"

He smiled dumbly, "500 million is just an intention price, not my bottom line." I just hope that Mr. Cen will help me bring a word, and I'll talk to Pan Sheng about the rest......"

That confident look made Cen Jianxun's eyes flicker for a while before he dimmed and nodded.

No one would have thought that a once wealthy man would now become the new king of the Hong Kong film industry.
