Chapter 236: A New Generation Replaces the Old

The angel fund has grown from 9 directors to 11, and the Bush family has invited two American business elites to join, one is Rockefeller. Chairman of Rose Rock Capital Partners and a descendant of the Rockefeller family - Steven. Rockefeller II. There is also a famous American stock god Warren Buffett.

Warren Buffett became a director of the Angel Foundation, which surprised the American media, and several bigwigs of the foundation, Laura, chairman of the foundation, and George H.W. Bush, honorary chairman. George W. Bush Jr. is a Republican, because in the eyes of the media, the Angel Foundation belongs to the Republican Party, while well-known billionaires in the United States, such as Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, and Soros, all support the Democratic Party.

Warren Buffett, a Democrat, has joined a foundation dominated by Republicans, which certainly surprised the media.

Warren Buffett explained to the media that charity and public welfare do not discriminate between parties, and the Angel Foundation has launched a project called "100,000 Smiles" after the global "100,000 Project Hope Schools" plan, which aims to help 100,000 leukemia children, of which China has allocated 10,000 places. Warren Buffett was touched by this act of kindness.

"Next, I would like to invite Ms. Yu Yu, the chairman of the Angel Fund China Branch, to issue a letter of appointment to Mr. Chen Long." As soon as Chen Lin's voice fell, Yu Yu took a big red letter of appointment and handed it to Mr. Chen Long.

......In the applause, Chen Lin, Chen Long, and Yu Yu stood in a row and accepted the reporter's photo.

"Click!" With a bang, the camera saved the moment

Hong Kong Kowloon Axe Shan Road Qiong East Street, Golden Harvest Film Company.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Zou Wenhuai, the chairman of Golden Harvest Film Group, who has white hair and is already in his prime, walked into the company to start the day's work as usual.

Golden Harvest, the former film empire, and his master, who are full of gray hair, have entered the age of antiquity, dying of old age.

"Old Zou, good morning." The staff of the company still saw Mr. Chairman as usual, smiling and respectful.

Zou Wenhuai nodded numbly. Only he understood that the staff were smiling numbly, and although they were laughing, they were sluggish.

Everything is different, along the way many office staff are sparse, in the heyday of this building concentrated in the thousands of people, every day to commute to and from work to take the elevator had to queue.

How many are there now? 180 people, less than 200 people.

"Old Zou, this is your tea, and today's latest entertainment newspaper." A secretary put down the teapot and a few of the latest newspapers and stepped back.

Drinking tea, reading the newspaper – that's most of Zou Wenhuai's day's work. Pick up the newspaper and read it. The headline on the front page is the news of the opening ceremony of Chen Long's new film "Glass Bottle".

In 1997, Mr. He Guanchang, who was also one of the founders of Golden Harvest, died suddenly of illness, and Mr. Chen Long, who was close to Mr. He, said goodbye to Golden Harvest for the time being, and at the end of the year, at the invitation of Zou Wenhuai, Chen Long officially returned to the nest Golden Harvest, this "Glass Bottle" is the first film shot after Chen Long's return.

Although Zou Wenhuai personally came forward to save Chen Long, the pillar of Golden Harvest, and "Glass Bottle" was successfully launched, he did not feel happy at all. He knew that saving Long Chen was just a matter of letting Jiahe take two more breaths.

He is old, Golden Harvest is as old as him, if he is 10 years younger, he is confident to revive Golden Harvest's prestige, but there is no if in the world.

And that's exactly what happened. Chen Long's return did not save Golden Harvest, and after filming "Glass Bottle" and "Spy Maze", he was poached by Emperor Group in 2001 and officially left Golden Harvest to join Emperor Entertainment and Emperor Films, which are affiliated to Emperor Group.

It's really easy to be sentimental when you're old. Zou Wenhuai watched his mood, and then read the newspaper, and suddenly his eyes fell on a photo in the newspaper. The photo shows a couple, the new richest man in the mainland, the chairman and vice chairman of the Jade Emperor Entertainment Group - 25-year-old Chen Lin and 28-year-old wife Yu Yu.

"There are talents from generation to generation, and a generation of new people replaces old people. What an amazing young person these days! Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but admire when he saw that this young couple had created such a big foundation in less than 2 years.

"Knock knock!" At this time, there was a knock on the door of the secretary: "Old Zou, are you busy?" ”

"Come in."

"Old Zou, there is a Mr. Chen Lin downstairs who claims to be the Jade Emperor Entertainment Group looking for you."

"Nope." Zou Wenhuai waved his hand and asked the secretary to send someone, these people who came to visit were here to talk about the acquisition, and when Jiahe had not yet gone bankrupt, Zou Wenhuai was gone.

The secretary wanted to speak and stopped, wanting to remind something, but he knew that Zou Lao had a good temper, and he didn't dare to say it when the words reached his mouth, so he sighed in his heart and turned around and walked out, but when he walked to the door, Zou Lao's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Wait a minute, who did you just say saw me?" ”

"It's Mr. Chen Lin, the chairman of the Jade Emperor Entertainment Group, and he is the richest man in the mainland as reported in the news recently."

"If you don't say it earlier, please invite someone to come up." When Zou Wenhuai heard that it was Chen Lin in the newspaper, he couldn't help but stand up, and then he added: "I'll invite it myself, I also want to meet this amazing young man." ”

Axe Hill Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong, Golden Harvest Studio.

Zou Wenhuai, chairman of Golden Harvest, and Chen Lin, chairman of Jade Emperor Entertainment, arrived here.

"Xiaolin, look at the piece in front of you is the place where Golden Harvest made its fortune - Golden Harvest Studio." Zou Wenhuai pointed to the land under his feet and introduced a history of the rise and fall of Hong Kong films to Chen Lin.

The set of Axe Mountain Road Golden Harvest is full of star footprints, and it has also witnessed the rise of Golden Harvest.

Jiahe in the heyday "made a fortune" on Axe Mountain Road. It was originally a sloping site backed by a hill and opposite the dilapidated Diamond Head, which in the 60s was home to several film studios and was frequented by filmmakers. After Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang left the "Shaw Brothers", they applied to the government for a piece of land to build a studio, and not far from the axe mountain road is Clear Water Bay Road, from which you can directly reach the Clear Water Bay Shaw Cinema. Golden Harvest was "guarded" at the "door" of Shaw Brothers back then!

"In the 70s, Tan Jiaming's "Famous Sword", John Woo's "Eight Colors Lin Yazhen", and Tsui Hark's "Shu Mountain" were all filmed here. At that time, Golden Harvest was full of legends: the Hui brothers' comedies broke box office records every year, and Xu Guanwen's office was at the entrance of the studio, you see, over there, in the building we call the Glass House. ”

Chen Lin followed Zou Lao's finger and saw a house full of glass.

"Let's go, let's talk while we walk." Zou Wenhuai took Chen Lin to introduce the buildings passing by as he walked, and sometimes he would walk in to take a look and touch them.

"Back then, Bruce Lee supervised the dubbing in this recording studio, and when he was tired, he lay on this sofa!" Chen Lin was interested when he heard the introduction, and couldn't help touching it with his hand, and then simply sat on the sofa for a while.

When I walked out of the studio, I saw a five-story bell tower.

"At that time, Chen Long was filming "A Trick and Drawing", and there was a scene where he jumped from this bell tower, and I still remember that Chen Long squatted on the set every day to worry about how to shoot this scene without safety measures."

"You see the front is the main building of Jiahe, we were all working there at that time, there is a parking lot downstairs, you can often see Chen Long, Hong Jinbao and other celebrities parking here. Behind it, there are several film houses and costume streets. Many classic works such as "Rouge Buckle", "Dancing of the Warblers", "He Rijun Comes Again", "Fengyun", and Chen Long's works were filmed here! ”

Zou Wenhuai introduced to Chen Lin, and at the same time remembered it, Chen Lin noticed that the old gentleman could not hide the end in his eyes, no matter how much he recovered before, it was difficult to hide the fact that the studio in front of him was about to be abandoned.

Chen Lin also learned that after the return, the government wants to reclaim this land for other development, "Wrinkle old, is the government going to reclaim this land?" ”

Zou Wenhuai sighed and nodded in acquiescence.

"Is the government ready to engage in real estate development?" Chen Lin frowned and said: "That's a pity, this land is not only of great significance to Golden Harvest, but also very interesting to Hong Kong, it is the epitome of Hong Kong film culture." I think it would be more meaningful to be able to build a film museum than real estate. ”

"The Museum of Cinema?"

"Yes." Chen Lin nodded and said: "It's a pity if Zou Lao is bulldozed on this set, if you always have this idea, the younger generation is willing to help." ”

Zou Wenhuai seemed to be tempted by what he said, and Chen Lin said more vigorously when he saw this: "Although the government wants to take it back, I believe it is not difficult to keep this piece of film with your prestige, and the younger generation can be regarded as having some funds and connections, and is willing to make a little effort in building a museum as early as possible." ”

Chen Lin's words seemed to touch Zou Wenhuai's heartstrings, Jiahe can't keep it, can't this set be saved? Nope-

"Xiaolin, you young people still have ideas, so it's decided. Although Jiahe is not as good as before, my Zou Wenhuai is still there, this set is the symbol of Jiahe, and he is still there in Jiahe. Suddenly, Zou Wenhuai's spirits were uplifted, and Zou Wenhuai, the only Hong Kong film overlord who could compete with Sir Shao, was back.

Immediately afterwards, Zou Wenhuai smiled, patted Chen Lin's shoulder and said, "Xiaolin, the person who called you tomorrow will come over to sign the contract, and all 145 cinemas under Golden Harvest will be sold to you." ”

"That's great, Xie Lu Xie Zou Lao." Chen Lin was happy and finally succeeded in acquiring Golden Harvest's theater.

"It's not early, let's go, have a drink with me, an old man, at noon, I also want to hear the history of your young man."

"It's better to be respectful than to obey."

Chen Lin and Zou Wenhuai looked at each other and smiled, and the old and the young walked out together.

When he first walked to the set, he met two uninvited guests: Liu Luan of Yingdi Real Estate Group and his secretary Wang Jun.

Chen Lin smiled as soon as he saw these two people, isn't this the slut and four-eyed boy who was cleaned up by Zhang Lei once last year? (To be continued......)
