Chapter 161: The Wise See the Wise, and the Wise See the Wise
The sensational major construction accident of Kowloon Construction Industry gradually subsided with the success of the crisis public relations of Kowloon Construction Industry, and Lei Juekun was also discharged from the hospital a week after the accident, and the dispute between Gu Chen and Pan Disheng Golden Princess Cinema caused by Lei Juekun's hospitalization seems to have come to an end temporarily, but at this time, a blockbuster news broke by "Oriental Daily" shocked everyone dizzy:
Gu Chen and Lei Juekun reached an equity exchange agreement on the Golden Princess Cinema Line, after this agreement came into effect, the Golden Princess Cinema Line and the Tang Dynasty Cinema Line merged to form a new cinema company, which is still named Tang Dynasty Cinema Line, in which Gu Chen has an absolute controlling stake in the new Tang Dynasty Cinema Company, accounting for 69.8% of the shares, Kowloon Construction Industry accounts for 25% of the shares, and Wu Siyuan accounts for 5.2% of the shares; In addition, Kowloon Construction will also obtain 8% of the equity of Tang Dynasty Film, and the equity ratio of each shareholder of Tang Dynasty Film will be changed to Gu Chen accounting for 82% of the shares, Zeng Zhiwei accounting for 10% of the shares, and Kowloon Construction Industry accounting for 8% of the shares.
As soon as this news came out, the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry suddenly became lively, because from now on, Gu Chen will master two-thirds of Hong Kong's cinema resources and officially become the biggest boss in the Hong Kong film industry. For this equity replacement agreement, some people think that Gu Chen suffers a loss, and some people think that Lei Juekun suffers a loss.
The people who think that Gu Chen suffers are mainly from the terrifying performance and long-term development of Tang Dynasty films this year, and the "Oriental Daily" that broke the news holds this view, and there is such a comment at the end of the report: Now no one will doubt Chen Shao's talent in films, just like his musical achievements are incomparable, so here I can conservatively estimate that Tang Dynasty films will maintain a high-quality performance of at least 150 million Hong Kong dollars per year in the next few years. In this way, Lei Juekun exchanged the Golden Princess Cinema Line worth about 150 million yuan for 25% of the equity of the New Tang Dynasty Cinema Line, plus 8% of the equity of the Tang Dynasty Movie.
People who think that Lei Juekun suffers losses are not so confident in the long-term development of Tang Dynasty films, in the words of some readers, there are unforeseen circumstances, Tang Dynasty movies can net 200 million this year, who knows if Lu Dao can next year, Lei Juekun is obviously not cost-effective to gamble on an unknown number with tens of millions of real money.
But no matter whether Gu Chen suffers a loss or Lei Juekun suffers a loss, this matter has already settled before it was exposed by "Oriental Daily", and no matter how much the outside world says, it will not help. Of course, it doesn't mean that no one pays attention, it just so happened that the day of exposure was the premiere of "Double Dragon Club", and as soon as it was dawn, a large number of reporters waiting to interview Gu Chen appeared outside the Lisheng Theater, which was owned by the original Golden Princess Cinema Line, where the premiere was held.
The time when the premiere started was half past 9, as usual, almost stepping on the time Gu Chen's car appeared in the sight of reporters, if it wasn't for the cordon, it is estimated that all the reporters would have rushed on. As the car slowly stopped, Gu Chen, who was dressed in a black casual suit, walked out of the car with Li Zhi, who was wearing a red low-cut dress, which immediately made the eyes of all reporters shine.
Before the reporter found that Li Zhi, as the heroine of the movie, had not shown up for a long time, thinking of the scandal some time ago, some reporters secretly speculated whether they would come with Gu Chen, and now they really saw Gu Chen and Li Zhi appear together, and they were happy and had new topics.
For a while, countless magnesium lights flickered, and they didn't miss any wonderful shots. At the same time, dozens of microphones protruded from the cordons on both sides of the red carpet:
"Chen Shao, may I ask if you and Miss Lizhi were together last night, otherwise why would they appear together today?"
"What do you think about successfully controlling the Golden Princess Cinemas, and is the next target Golden Harvest Cinemas?"
"Chen Shao, can you tell us how you persuaded Lei Juekun?"
“……”
Gu Chen and Li Zhi walked hand in hand along the red carpet on the ground towards the door of the theater, both of them had faint smiles on their faces, and waved to the fans or fans on both sides from time to time, but Gu Chen didn't realize the reporter's question, and didn't even take a second look.
In fact, he didn't plan to come today, because Zou Wenhuai, the boss of Golden Harvest Films, who is also an investor in "Double Dragon Club", had already communicated with Tang Dynasty Films the day before, and there would be no premiere, but He Guanchang would attend on behalf of Golden Harvest Films, since Zou Wenhuai did not attend, he naturally did not need to attend as the boss of Tang Dynasty Films, just have Zeng Zhiwei as a representative, which can also be seen that he is a face-loving, proud and self-contained person. It's a pity that the hero was sad to pass the beauty pass, and he was immediately defeated by Lizhi's coquettishness.
"Hello Mr. He, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the first time we've met." Walking to the door of the theater, Gu Chen and He Guanchang shook hands.
"Hehe, it's really the first time we've met, and I haven't congratulated Chen Shao on successfully merging with the Golden Princess Cinema." Although He Guanchang had a smile on his face, if he looked carefully, he could see that his smile was a little reluctant, especially when he said the second half of the sentence. Although the films produced by Golden Harvest Films are basically only released in Golden Harvest Cinemas, the merger of Tang Dynasty Cinemas and Golden Princess Cinemas will not affect the release of Golden Harvest Films for the time being, but Gu Chen's expansion in the Hong Kong film industry is too fast, and it has indeed brought great pressure to Golden Harvest.
Gu Chen smiled slightly, did not answer positively, and changed the topic and said, "It's almost time, let's go in." ”
……
"It's just hype, it's not exposed sooner or later, but it's exposed on the day of the premiere of "Double Dragon Club", shameless, shameless."
Before Shum Jianxun entered the office, he heard Pan Disheng's angry roar from the office, he sighed helplessly, pushed open the door that was only half closed, and saw the female secretary squatting on the ground to pick up the newspapers scattered all over the ground, while Pan Disheng was sitting on the chair with a gloomy face.
He waved his hand at the female secretary and asked the other party to go out first, the female secretary secretly glanced up at Pan Disheng a little timidly, and saw that Pan Disheng did not object, so he stood up and walked out of the office while wiping tears and sobbing, and closed the office door with his hand.
"Sit down." Pan Disheng said in a flat tone, and then asked: "How are you preparing for the release of "Royal Senior Sister" tomorrow?" ”
"Everything is ready, Xu Ke, Sammo Hung and Lin Zhengying have all promised to attend tomorrow's premiere." After a pause, Cen Jianxun asked hesitantly: "Mr. Pan, about the Golden Princess Cinema Line...... he was very curious about why the Golden Princess Cinema Line would suddenly merge with the Tang Dynasty Cinema Line, because just two days ago, Pan Disheng was very optimistic when talking to him, and the board of directors of Kowloon Construction Industry was very satisfied with his offer to acquire the Golden Princess Cinema Line, why did the situation take a sharp turn a few times in just two or three days, so fast that people didn't even have time to react.
Speaking of this, Pan Disheng was furious, in fact, he realized that there would be many variables if he wanted to acquire the Golden Princess Cinema Line after Lei Wenqing was kicked out of the board of directors of Kowloon Construction Industry, but he would never have thought that Lei Juekun would directly reach an equity replacement agreement with Gu Chen without going through the board of directors of Kowloon Construction Industry, so that Gu Chen controlled two-thirds of the cinema resources of the entire Hong Kong film industry, which is two-thirds of the cinema resources.
"I don't want to say more about the Golden Princess Cinema Line, after the premiere of "Royal Senior Sister", you go to communicate with Golden Harvest and release the company's movies on Golden Harvest in the future."
Cen Jianxun was stunned for a moment, and then knew in his heart that Pan Disheng's two consecutive acquisitions of theaters were defeated by Gu Chen, and now that the Golden Princess Theater Line belongs to the Tang Dynasty Theater Line, it is not surprising that Pan Disheng would make such a decision, so he nodded and said, "I will do this as soon as possible." ”
At this time, the female secretary, who had just been out of the house for a short time, pushed the door open and came in again, and said a little timidly: "Boss, two reporters claiming to be "Oriental Daily" said that they wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with you. ”
Hearing this, Pan Disheng's face immediately became gloomy again, the news of the merger of the Golden Princess Cinema Line and the Tang Dynasty Cinema Line was broken by the "Oriental Daily", and the position was obviously pro-Gu Chen, at this time, if you want to interview him, don't you want to see his Pan Disheng's jokes.
Without even thinking about it, he said, "Send them all away." ”
"Wait a minute." Cen Jianxun stopped the female secretary and said to Pan Disheng: "Mr. Pan, I think you should accept an exclusive interview with Oriental Daily. ”
Pan Disheng knew that Cen Jianxun would not be untargeted, and asked suspiciously: "Oh, for what?" ”
"Today is the premiere of "Double Dragon Club", and "Oriental Daily" happened to expose the news of the merger of Golden Princess Cinema and Tang Dynasty Cinema Line today, this is absolutely impossible to be a coincidence, in my opinion, someone should break the news to "Oriental Daily" to achieve the purpose of hyping "Double Dragon Club", and this matter was obviously agreed by Gu Chen."
Hearing this, Pan Disheng nodded thoughtfully, he also thought so.
"Although I haven't watched the premiere of "Double Dragon Club", there will be no fewer reporters who want to be here today, and Gu Chen's goal has been achieved. Since the other party can hype, we can also hype, Mr. Pan, you can accept the interview with "Oriental Daily", as long as you pay attention to your words, and release the news that the movies produced by Debao Films in the future will probably be changed to be released in Golden Harvest Cinemas, which will surely attract the attention of the media, so that a large number of reporters will definitely flock to the premiere of "Royal Sister" tomorrow. ”
Cen Jianxun understood what Pan Disheng meant, and he was using himself to hype up in order to attract the attention of the media. As for the so-called rhetoric, it is nothing more than that he can be a little more intense.
