"I used to get off work."

"I used to take care of it."

"Mr. Zeng walks slowly."

“……”

Zeng Zhiwei came out of the company with his bag in his hand, and he greeted respectfully all the way. He took the elevator to the underground parking lot with a chūn face, drove the car he just bought this year onto the street, and drove towards the Fu Lin Mun Restaurant on Hong Kong Island.

Zeng Zhiwei is very satisfied with his current work and life, he is both profitable and respected, and he is more comfortable than being a dragon and tiger martial artist and a small screenwriter before.

The car drove past the two Golden Princess-owned theaters, and "Hero Ben Sè" has been in theaters for two and a half weeks, and although it is not as popular as it was in the first week, there are still many moviegoers.

On the exterior wall of a building in the distance, on the 20-meter-high poster of "Hero Ben Sè", Zhou Yunfa is wearing sunglasses and lighting a cigarette with US dollar bills. A double-decker tram that staggered past Zeng Zhiwei also has a promotional advertisement for "Hero Ben Sè" on the body.

On the street, several young people in torn jeans, wearing sunglasses and holding toothpicks, are singing the Chinese song "I have not been a big brother for many years" in a strange tone.

If you don't come to Hong Kong to experience it for yourself, you will never be able to appreciate how popular "Heroes Ben Sè" is. In the past half a month, I don't know how many Hong Kong people in Ludao have changed their English names to "Mark", and the gangsters in the community have all called themselves Brother Xiaoma.

The soundtrack record of "Hero Ben Sè" was released, and even Taiwanese songs like "Rising and Sinking Brothers" were widely sung in Hong Kong. As for the episode "Tomorrow Will Be Better", it was named a Chinese song classic by the media, and there are already 4 record companies in Taiwan that have heard the wind, hoping to let their singers cover this song full of positive energy "Tomorrow Will Be Better".

The soundtrack has only been on the market in Hong Kong for more than a week, and its sales have quickly exceeded 50,000, and looking at the growth rate of sales, there is no problem at all selling 100,000 copies.

. This soundtrack contains a total of 5 songs, plus a few purely musical soundtracks. Of the 5 songs, three are in Chinese and one is Taiwanese, and only one is Cantonese. The fact that such a record can sell double platinum sales in Hong Kong is naturally because of the popularity of the movie, which makes other record companies very speechless.

The linkage between the record company and the film company lies in this, just like the new art city in the parallel space, a record company called Xin Yibao has also been formed, and it has signed record contracts with stars such as Xu Guanjie, Zhang Guorong, Ye Qianwen, Zhou Runfa, Wang Fei and D. In the late 80s, the market performance of New Yibao Records was almost comparable to that of the record giant Polygram.

This is a great example of how a record company works closely with a film company. As for the cooperation between the record company and the TV station, just look at Huaxing Records in the parallel space. Among the many singers of Huaxing Records, the mainstream is a singing contest or a TV star from a wireless station.

Kang Jianfei now owns a film production company, a television station and a record label at the same time. In the future, the development of popular records will definitely surpass that of Xinyibao and Huaxing.

Driving to Fu Lin Mun Restaurant in Wan Chai, Zeng Zhiwei was already a big celebrity, and he was recognized by the waiter as soon as he entered the lobby, and said respectfully: "Mr. Zeng." Mr. Lei is upstairs in the private room, please come with me! ”

Widely regarded as a restaurant for the wealthy, this restaurant opened in the 40s and has been used by many Hong Kong dignitaries for decades.

Zeng Zhiwei followed the waiter into the private room, and there were only Lei Juekun and his attendants inside. After Zeng Zhiwei entered the door, he nodded and greeted: "Hello Mr. Lei." ”

Lei Juekun looked like a corporal of Lixian. Standing up and saying with a smile, "Mr. Zeng, please take a seat." ”

Zeng Zhiwei sat down with a smile, but he was puzzled in his heart, constantly guessing the purpose of Lei Juekun inviting him to dinner today.

One meal after another was served. Lei Juekun pointed to the braised abalone and said, "The abalone in Fulinmen is good, these are the two abalone just caught today, Mr. Zeng might as well try it." ”

"Mr. Xie Lu, Xie Lei." Zeng Zhiwei used chopsticks and spoons to put the abalone into his bowl, and he felt more and more that something was wrong. He was just the production manager of DreamWorks, and he was too far from Lei Juekun's identity. The closer Lei Juekun was to the kinder, the more Zeng Zhiwei felt that the other party had a plan.

Sure enough. After the two of them ate for more than ten minutes and got closer to each other, Lei Juekun suddenly said: "Wei Zai, you are doing well in Oriental DreamWorks, have you ever thought about coming out one day to start your own company?" ”

Zeng Zhiwei didn't understand what Lei Juekun meant for a while, and said with a smile: "It's not easy to open a film company, and you need to have funds and manpower, so I haven't thought about it so much for the time being." ”

Lei Juekun smiled: "Funds are not a problem, if you are not enough, I can help you out." As for manpower, are you afraid that you won't be able to recruit people if you have money? Besides, you're the production manager of DreamWorks, so how can you bring a few of your subordinates out. ”

Zeng Zhiwei understood this time, Lei Juekun wanted to dig him out and invest in helping him open a film company!

Zeng Zhiwei wants to start his own company?

Absolutely.

But anyone who has some ability is more willing to do big things on their own, rather than being a wage earner under others. Lei Juekun's proposal made Zeng Zhiwei very moved, but he was very satisfied with the current work situation, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Lei Juekun threw out the bait and said: "I'll provide the funds, you are responsible for bringing people over, and I will give you 20% of the shares." ”

Zeng Zhiwei looked up at Lei Juekun, although the other party did not explain how much he contributed, but 20% of the shares of the film company were enough to make Zeng Zhiwei move. What's more, Lei Juekun is also the major shareholder of the Golden Princess Cinema Line, and the movies made in the future will not be released in theaters.

"Ahem......" Zeng Zhiwei just wanted to speak, but he felt that his throat was a little dry, coughed and cleared his throat and said, "Lei ...... Mr. Lei, such a big matter, I want to think about it carefully. ”

Lei Juekun nodded and smiled: "Yes, you can come to me at any time when you figure it out." ”

Zeng Zhiwei also sat there smiling, facing a table full of good dishes, but he didn't have any appetite. Zeng Zhiwei was calculating the gains and losses in his head, although he couldn't divide the shares in DreamWorks, as the manager of the production department, he had a small amount of dividends every time the film was sold. With the popularity of many DreamWorks films, Zeng Zhiwei has made a lot of money.

And if he betrays DreamWorks and co-founded a film company with Lei Juekun, there is a great risk behind the big opportunity, Zeng Zhiwei may become the big boss of the film company, and he may also be beaten back to his original shape by making a film that hits the street.

Zeng Zhiwei is a very ambitious person, but being ambitious does not mean that he has no brains, and he will not be betrayed by Lei Juekun as soon as he is fooled out of Dreamworks.

After eating a few bites of food casually, Zeng Zhiwei left with mixed emotions and drove back in a trance.

Lei Juekun had a cigar in his mouth, and his attendant hurriedly put the lighter over when he saw this.

Between the clouds and the mist, Lei Juekun stood behind the window and looked at the Wan Chai Pier in the distance, guessing how much Kang Jianfei would react if Zeng Zhiwei left DreamWorks with people.

Just as Kang Jianfei didn't want to turn his face with Lei Juekun, Lei Juekun would also not tear his face with Kang Jianfei, because DreamWorks' movies are the most stable income guarantee for the Golden Princess Cinema Line.

But the development of Oriental DreamWorks is too fast, so fast that it gives people the illusion that the golden princess is attached to DreamWorks, which makes Lei Juekun very unhappy. used money to recruit Zeng Zhiwei, the production manager of DreamWorks, Lei Juekun's intention is obvious, first, Zeng Zhiwei is indeed a talent, and opening a company for him is also an investment worth looking forward to; The second is to give Kang Jianfei a small jǐng notice, after Zeng Zhiwei takes away a group of people, he can more or less make DreamWorks mess up, and weakening DreamWorks is good for the theater side.

As for why he chose Zeng Zhiwei, it was because he was the most suitable person to be poached.

DreamWorks has three vice presidents, Zhou Mingfang is Kang Jianfei's cousin and aunt, and this kind of kinship cannot be dug up; Ma Qiao, on the other hand, is responsible for the market operation of DreamWorks, and Lei Juekun has no shortage of operational talents, so it is useless to dig it; The remaining one, Pan Yingzi, is rumored to have a leg with Kang Jianfei, and her ability seems to be poor, and the investment and return from digging her are not worth Lei Juekun's shot.

Zeng Zhiwei is different, he is the production manager of DreamWorks, which is the key department of the film production company, and Zeng Zhiwei's ability is there.

Making movies does not mean that Kang Jianfei will succeed with a good idea or a good script, DreamWorks has been doing it for more than a year, such as "Little Scared", "Hu Yue's Story", "Mr. Zombie 2" and other blockbuster movies, Kang Jianfei has not asked anything other than reviewing the script, all of which are Zeng Zhiwei is in charge of production or producer, which can be said to be indispensable.

……

"Didi......"

Zeng Zhiwei, who was waiting for the red light, was awakened by the horn of the car behind, and he looked at the advertisement of "Hero Ben Sè" in the distance, and he still couldn't make up his mind.

If the rebel generals can succeed, they will naturally be able to enjoy unlimited scenery, such as the current Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang. At the beginning, the two defected from Shaw Brothers Pictures and established Golden Harvest Pictures with the help of Hong Kong Cathay Pacific, and now they have become important figures in the Hong Kong film industry.

Zeng Zhiwei thought that he could become the second Zou Wenhuai, and his heart was hot, but as soon as he thought about Li Hanxiang again, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured on his head on dog days.

Li Hanxiang was also an important minister of the Shaw Brothers back then, and under the instigation of Taiwan's Cathay Pacific and Lianhua, he betrayed the Shaw Brothers and went to Taiwan to form Guolian Pictures. In less than ten years, Li Hanxiang built Guolian Pictures into Taiwan's largest private film company, and Guolian Pictures was even the cradle of entertainment stars in Taiwan.

But after Guolian Pictures went bankrupt in one move, Li Hanxiang was beaten back to his original form, ran back to Hong Kong in disgrace, and returned to his old club Shaw Brothers to beg for food. The current Li Hanxiang is far inferior to Zeng Zhiwei, and the films he makes can be released in Shaw Brothers Pictures for a few days, and he doesn't even have a house, and he has been renting a house to live.

Zeng Zhiwei couldn't help but shudder when he thought that if he went out to open a new company and lost his capital and became the second Li Hanxiang, he couldn't help but shudder.
