At the Peninsula Hotel, Huang Baiming and Pan Disheng negotiated to the most critical moment, and the two have reached a preliminary agreement, Huang Baiming led some people from Xinyicheng to join Debao Pictures, and Debao Company gave up part of its shares to Huang Baiming.

"Mr. Huang, let's not mention the share distribution, since we are cooperating, we must ensure profitability, to be honest, Debao Company has been established for so long, and it doesn't make much money, I want to know how you can ensure box office profitability?"

This problem is what Pan Disheng is most concerned about, before joining the film industry, he thought that it was not difficult to make movies, look at the prosperity of Wang Zichuan, making hundreds of millions of profits every year, how could such a big cake be without him Pan Disheng, but after the acquisition of Debao, he made several films before and after, and the results disappointed him, and he could only maintain a state of not losing money, and the money he earned added up was not enough for him to buy a luxury car.

Huang Baiming was silent, considered his sentences, and first explained: "After the Hong Kong New Wave Film Movement, the Southeast Asian film market, on which independent production companies depended, underwent a series of major changes, on the one hand, wealthy Singaporean businessmen began to invest their funds mainly in TV series, on the other hand, Thailand was struggling with Hong Kong films due to the impact of the world economic crisis and restrictions on import quotas, and the Vietnamese market was completely lost due to political reasons. ”

Pan Dee laughed and said: "What I want to know is the trend of Hong Kong films, simply put, what kind of films can make money, this new art city has done a good job, and several films have been sold well in the early stage, if we can take this road, we can completely copy the road of new art city." ”

"Mr. Pan can rest assured of this!" Huang Baiming lifted his glasses and analyzed: "Hong Kong independent films have fallen into a trough. Films with strong artistry and ideology but weak commerciality have lost the soil for survival, and Hong Kong films have entered a historical period of more commercialization and fiercer market competition. In such a harsh ecological environment, one of the most important topic selection strategies adopted by New Arts City is to closely track the popular themes in the world film industry in order to ensure box office profits. ”

"Turquoise Pictures can do the same, there are several blockbusters coming out every year in the United States, and we changed it to a Hong Kong background, without buying adaptation rights, and we can also use Hong Kong local actors, avoiding the high salaries of Hollywood actors. You can save a lot of money. ”

Pan Dey hesitated: "Do it like this." The cost of the film is also high, right? ”

Huang Baiming said: "Mr. Pan, now that the cost of Hong Kong films is generally and greatly increased, we can't hold the old concept unchanged, like Mr. Lei. Because business has been frustrated. I just want to cut the cost of film production. The quality of the film is getting worse and worse, the box office is getting lower and lower, and the shareholders of Golden Princess are not satisfied. In the end, it will be a bitter fruit. ”

"You have a point!"

Pandey sighed secretly, why can't he meet "Nightclub?" , "The Saint of Gambling" and other low-cost films, with an investment of two or three million, a box office of up to 60 million, plus overseas box office dividends, a film is enough to eat for more than a year.

Huang Baiming said in a low tone, reminding: "The new art city has collapsed, and the entire company has not started any of the seven or eight scripts except for Mecca's "Best Partner" made in Zuò, and in my opinion, Mr. Lei has also given up...... Alas! ”

Pan Disheng knows a little about the recent situation of Xinyicheng, but he can't understand why Lei Juekun occupies the shares and tries his best to suppress Huang Baiming, and the closure of Xinyicheng is also a loss to Lei Juekun.

"Mr. Huang, as far as I know, Xinyicheng Entertainment has not yet reached the point of exhaustion, why can't you and Mecca cooperate well and tide over the difficulties together...... Maybe what I said was a bit excessive, but Mr. Huang joined Debao, and I don't want Debao to become the second new art city! ”

Huang Baiming smiled bitterly: "It's okay, if you don't ask, I'll sue you, Mr. Lei has his own set of plans." ”

"What's the plan?"

Pan Desheng held his breath, he didn't know anything about this, he only cared about contacting Huang Baiming and the theater during this time, and completely ignored Lei Juekun, shouldn't he quit the entertainment industry? How can there still be a plan!

Huang Baiming said: "Mr. Lei wants to take full control of Xinyi City, Mecca and I have become a thorn in his side, and he can't wait to drive us away together, it is me who is suppressed during this time, I think it won't be long before Mecca will be suppressed, and Mecca is also very clear about this." ”

After saying this, Huang Baiming was a little excited, this is not his random speculation, some time ago he asked Lei Juekun to give him a chance to list the New Year, but Lei Juekun categorically refused, coupled with the uneven distribution of shares, which made him make up his mind to part ways with Lei Juekun.

Pandey said in a clear voice, tacitly and smiled: "What is Mr. Mecca's plan?" ”

Huang Baiming smiled bitterly: "Mr. Pan doesn't have to worry about him, there are many ways in Mecca, not only Golden Harvest Pictures, but also Tengfei Entertainment, I think he will defect to these two companies." ”

Pan Disheng was slightly disappointed, and he also wanted to bring Mecca over to jointly build the second place in the new art city and compete for the hegemony of the Xiangjiang film industry.

Huang Baiming said: "The most important thing now is the cinema chain, and Mr. Pan must not make a mistake in this regard." ”

"yes!" Pan Disheng deeply agrees, no matter how good a film is in Hong Kong, it is useless if there is no good theater, and it is difficult to sell at the box office, but there are good theaters, and the quality of the film is okay, so you can make a lot of money.

"Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzheng have already contacted them, and they are willing to reorganize a cinema line to arrange films specifically for independent film companies, and our Debao Company accounts for the majority in this regard, and I will invest in the new cinema line and occupy a part of the shares."

Huang Baiming said: "Everything is ready, only Dongfeng is owed, I don't know when Mr. Lei plans to disband the Golden Princess Cinema?" ”

"It's up to him when he has the final say!" Pan Dey sneered, "Now Mr. Lei is still trying to persuade Princess Jin to maintain the status quo, but everyone agrees on the surface, and secretly is looking for a way back, just with a few theaters in his hands, it is difficult to support it alone, the Golden Princess Cinema Line is disbanded, and Mr. Lei will also dispose of this part of the theater chain, I want to buy it." ”

Huang Baiming hesitated: "I'm afraid Mr. Lei won't sell it!" ”

Pan Dey said: "Then rent is also successful, as long as the cinema line does not fall into the hands of Golden Harvest Cinema Line and Oriental Cinema Line, our Debao Company has a lot to do." ”

Huang Baiming remembered Mecca's friendship with Wang Zichuan, and said: "I'm worried that Tengfei Entertainment has received the news that Wang Zichuan has always been keen on the expansion of cinemas, and Oriental Cinemas has been established for less than two years and has become the first cinema chain in Hong Kong, and it has the intention of continuing to expand." ”

Pandey was silent and asked, "What can you do?" Wang Zichuan's family has a big business, and ordinary means are useless to him. ”

Huang Baiming had no good way, he thought about it for a long time, and only came up with an idea that was not an idea.

"I think this period of time will stabilize Mecca first, "Best Partner" is estimated to have completed the post-production, and after this month, we reorganized Debao Company with swift means to support Mr. Feng to reorganize the theater line, the dust has settled, and Wang Zichuan is helpless!"

Pan Disheng shook his head slightly, muttering in his heart, that is a means you don't understand Wang Zichuan, a company as big as Jiahe is not suppressed and can't get up, and he must use some unconventional means to distract him.

Pan Disheng's business is very big, how many companies have been annexed during the period, he can have today's status, scheming is naturally not so simple on the surface, there are also some forces in secret, he does not plan to sue Huang Baiming, so as not to leak the news.

"Mr. Huang, just do as you say, you go back and try to win over Mecca, we businessmen believe that if you don't become a friend, don't become an enemy, no matter which company Mecca chooses."

Huang Baiming smiled: "I think so too. ”

Pan Disheng looked at the wrist time, frowned, and said, "Why hasn't Arjun come back yet?" ”

Huang Baiming looked left and right, and said with a smile: "Maybe Miss Yang felt bored and went back by herself." ”

is only this possibility, Pan Disheng was a little angry, and he didn't say hello when he left, it seems that when he arrived in Hong Kong, Yang Ziqiong's behavior and habits have changed a lot.

"Alright, let's leave too."

Huang Baiming walked a few steps, and suddenly found Yang Ziqiong sitting with a man, the two seemed to be very happy, because their backs were to each other, he didn't know who the man was.

"Mr. Pan, isn't that Miss Yang!"

Pan Desheng turned around and looked at it, his face was pale, and he walked over with a straight face.

"Arjun, this is ...... Mr. Wang? ”

Wang Zichuan smiled: "What a coincidence, Mr. Pan is also here?" ”

Yang Ziqiong seemed surprised when she saw Pan Disheng, and explained: "When I came back from going to the bathroom just now, I happened to meet Mr. Wang. ”

Pandey laughed dryly: "What a coincidence! ”

This Wang Zichuan is really haunted, just mentioned him, I saw it here, it seems that I will have to find a new place in the future, the Peninsula Hotel goal is too big!

Huang Baiming stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, you also like to have afternoon tea here?" ”

Wang Zichuan said with a smile: "Yes, I like it here!" ”

Pan Disheng didn't want to make any extraneous troubles, so he said, "Arjun, shouldn't we go back?" ”

Yang Ziqiong looked at Wang Zichuan and whispered, "Ah Chuan, it's not too early, I'll go back first." ”

Ah Chuan? Pan Dee was jealous, when did Yang Ziqiong and Wang Zichuan become so close, the two were talking and laughing here just now, what did they say, could it be that Wang Zichuan fell in love with Yang Ziqiong?

Wang Zichuan smiled: "I should go back too, Arjun, what I just said is serious, you think about it, I am waiting for your reply." ”

"Yes!" Yang Ziqiong's face was slightly red, secretly embarrassed, and she had to say these misleading words in front of Pan Disheng.

Pan Disheng's face was ugly, and he smiled dryly: "What did Mr. Wang say just now?" ”

Wang Zichuan said lightly: "It's nothing! ”

Yang Ziqiong echoed: "It's really nothing, I think I can talk to Mr. Wang very well and make friends." ”

Make friends? Who believes!

Pan Desheng endured his anger, put on a gentlemanly demeanor, helped Yang Ziqiong to stand up, and pulled out the chair.

"Let's go back."

Wang Zichuan smiled: "Don't send it!" (To be continued......)
