Chapter 53: The Great Wall
"That beautiful girl at the head is a star of the Great Wall?" Shi Jianhui held a cigar in his mouth and raised his chin at Su Jingxian.
The word star has only just emerged in the past two years, and before that, people who sang, sang and acted in movies were collectively called Lingxing. It was not until the late 40s that many unscrupulous producers made huge profits, resulting in the proliferation of shoddy films such as murder films and pornographic films, which led to a group of well-known filmmakers launching a 'clean campaign' on Cantonese films, which helped greatly to improve the quality of Cantonese films in Hong Kong, and thus led to the current situation of Hong Kong Ling and Xing being separated.
Although there are still many Lingxing tabloids in Hong Kong, everyone assumes that the character Lingzi refers to Cantonese opera celebrities, and the star character represents movie stars, which is no longer confused as before.
Shi Jianhui is familiar with the intricate relationship in the Hong Kong business community, although he didn't figure out the connection between Li Weiquan and Yang Meng at first, but now he calms down and thinks about it carefully, and he also guesses eight or nine.
Su Jingxian nodded when he heard this: "That's wrong, Yang Meng is the star seed of the Great Wall's new recruitment this year, and he is preparing to hold it." β
Shi Jianhui took a puff of his cigar, spit out a long smoke dragon from his mouth, and smacked his lips: "Capital game!" However, I think that if Zhang Shankun still stays in the Great Wall, he will not dare to provoke the people of the Great Wall if he lends Ryoma a guts. β
Su Jingxian glanced at Shi Jianhui and spit out two words in his mouth: "Nonsense." β
The Great Wall Film Company, which was born last year, can be said to have sprung up, standing out among Hong Kong's local film companies, and faintly showing a three-legged trend with Shaw Brothers and Cathay Pacific, all because of the Zhang Shankun Zhang boss mentioned by Shi Jianhui behind the Great Wall.
Zhang Shankun founded Xinhua Film Company in Huangpu in his early years, and in just three years, Xinhua has become one of the famous large companies in the Huangpu film industry, and he also has an identity as the protΓ©gΓ© of the Qinggang boss Huang Jinrong, even if Du Yuesheng sees him, he must be called a brother, a veritable film giant.
After arriving in Hong Kong, Zhang Shankun and another filmmaker Yuan Yangan established the Great Wall Film Company, which was in the limelight last year, but unfortunately this year Zhang Shankun and Yuan Yangan parted ways because of financial and personnel contradictions, so they withdrew from the Great Wall, which directly damaged the vitality of the Great Wall and almost collapsed.
Although the Great Wall can still operate normally after restructuring this year, it is far less prosperous than when Zhang Shankun was there, which is why even a second-rate company like Longma dares to be rude to the newcomers of the Great Wall.
"Then again, are you so sure that Yuan Yangan will definitely help you settle Li Weiquan this time? If he doesn't help, your newspaper will be played to death. Shi Jianhui looked at Su Jingxian and spoke again.
Yuan Yangan is the Mr. Yuan mentioned by Su Jingxian to Yang Meng before, the current general manager and largest shareholder of Great Wall.
"Li Weiquan can't steal chickens tonight, even if Yuan Yangan doesn't speak out, he won't dare to engage in any more messes in a short time." Su Jingxian analyzed, "And I am sure that Li Weiquan planned to destroy Yang Meng, the star seed of the Great Wall, tonight, and did not communicate with his boss in advance, otherwise he would not hesitate to stop when I mentioned Ta Kung Pao just now." β
At this time, because the Hong Kong film industry has just started, it is the time when the competition is the most fierce, and the two film companies have used countless tricks in order to compete for a potential newcomer, and there are also extreme filmmakers, because the newcomer they are optimistic about was snatched away, and it is not surprising that they single-handedly planned to destroy the newcomer.
However, in order to protect the healthy development of the film industry in the past two years, Hong Kong filmmakers have spontaneously formed reading clubs, film practitioners freedom associations and other organizations have been established one after another, although the method of destroying newcomers still exists when filmmakers compete, they do not dare to be as violent as before.
Just like Li Weiquan, who appeared here today, it wasn't until the reporter appeared that Su Jingxian realized that Li Weiquan was not a hungry ghost, and everything he did tonight was to ruin Yang Meng, a potential newcomer to join the Great Wall, in terms of reputation, and make the already stormy Great Wall even worse this year.
If he hadn't run into Su Jingxian tonight, Li Weiquan might not have dared to really use force against Yang Meng, but he only needed to tear Yang Meng's clothes a few times, and those tabloid reporters who had received money would take a few photos casually, and make up nonsense in the newspaper the next day, even if the Great Wall clarified in the mainstream newspapers, it would be useless.
"So after Li Weiquan goes back, he may not even be able to pass his boss's level, let alone have the heart to trouble you?" After listening to Su Jingxian's explanation, Shi Jianhui showed a look of clarity on his face, and then looked at Su Jingxian's eyes, which was already full of appreciation.
can quickly weigh the stakes under such an emergency, Shi Jianhui asked himself if he couldn't do it in such an all-encompassing way.
Lu Le, who was on the side, listened to the conversation between Su Jingxian and Shi Jianhui, with an impatient look on his face: "What are you two talking about!" In short, I don't know about the business field, but listening to Ah Xian, it seems that the Great Wall has a relationship with Ta Kung Pao? β
Shi Jianhui smiled, he knew that Lu Le had always been not very interested in business, otherwise he would have gone to the business field with his father-in-law to be rich and noble, and now when he heard him ask this question, he said loudly: "This year, the Great Wall is reorganized, and one of the current shareholders is the manager of Ta Kung Pao, does it matter what you say?" β
"Then I saved the movie star of the Great Wall today, can I ask the Ta Kung Pao helper to do an interview with me?" After listening to Shi Jianhui's words, Lu Le opened his mouth as a matter of course.
Su Jingxian made a gesture to stop and corrected: "Let me explain first, I saved people, and if there is a benefit, it will benefit me first." β
"Pick! Didn't I help me get rid of the negatives and videotapes in the tabloid reporters? Lu Le rolled his eyelids, "Do you want to take the benefits alone?" Help me do a few big shows in your China-Hong Kong Daily! β
Su Jingxian nodded, looked at Lu Le and smiled: "Okay!" β
Lu Le was stunned when he heard Su Jingxian's happy reply, but he didn't react, and repeated again: "I'll ask you to help me do a few big dragon and phoenix ...... in the China Hong Kong Daily."
Su Jingxian's smile remained unchanged, and he didn't wait for Lu Le to finish his words before he spoke: "No problem, you can get it at any time." β
After two consecutive affirmative answers, Lu Le's heart became more and more uneasy, turned his head to look at Shi Jianhui, and blinked: "I always feel inappropriate for this person to hit the street and now promise to be so happy, you are also a businessman, help me think about how he is going to trick me?" β
