408 [Cooperation]

"Oh, it's Lin Qingxia!"

Ye Yuqing turned over and jumped off the horse, ran towards Lin Qingxia excitedly, and took Lin Da Beauty's hand and asked questions. Although the daughter of the Ye family was born in a wealthy family, she has a soft spot for the entertainment industry, if it weren't for her brother Ye Zhiming to stop her, she would have run away to be an actress.

Lin Qingxia couldn't stand Ye Yuqing's enthusiasm, so she had to answer perfunctorily with a smile, and then changed the topic to riding a horse in a few words.

"Sister Qingxia, you don't know how to ride a horse? I'll teach you. Ye Yuqing has a bit of a familiar taste, and she called her sister as soon as they met, and pulled Lin Qingxia to teach her to ride a horse.

The last three women got together, and Pan Disheng wanted to stay with Yang Ziqiong for a while, but he was really embarrassed to leave Kang Jianfei and Ye Zhiming to accompany the women.

Pan Disheng originally heard that Michelle Yeoh likes to ride horses, so he made an appointment to enhance his relationship, but he didn't expect that Michelle Yeoh would call Lin Qingxia too, and also brought a trouble-stirring Kang Jianfei by the way.

Now it's a good thing, the three women have become a circle, and the remaining three men can only talk about topics that are not nutritious.

After hearing that Pan Disheng was going to set up a film company, Ye Zhiming said with deep feelings: "Mr. Pan also wants to invest in a film company? As a person who has come before, I will give you a piece of advice, don't offend the Taiwan authorities, and it's best to have your own theater, otherwise you will always be controlled by others. ”

Pan Disheng just wants to make a movie to make a little money, and by the way, to promote his brand, where will there be the idea of forming a theater chain? However, Ye Zhiming was also kind, Pan Disheng couldn't help but appreciate it, and said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Ye for reminding me, I will pay attention." ”

"Mr. Kang has done a good job in this regard," Ye Zhiming said with admiration, "His dream factory was also initially subject to the Golden Princess Cinema Line, and later broke with Lei Juekun to form another New Era Cinema Line. This trick is really a stroke of genius. ”

Kang Jianfei shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The new era cinema chain is too loose, and I can't help many internal contradictions." ”

Ye Zhiming looked at Kang Jianfei and said with a smile: "Mr. Kang, don't hide it, within half a year at the latest, you will definitely set up your own theater." ”

Kang Jianfei wants to form a cinema company again, as long as anyone with a discerning eye in the circle can guess it, after all, Zhang Moren bought several properties to build cinemas, and he can know about it after a little inquiry.

The three men rode forward slowly, and after chatting for a while, Ye Zhiming suddenly asked, "Mr. Kang, I don't know what you think about the release of video tapes?" ”

Kang Jianfei replied without much thought: "With the increasing number of people using home video recorders. The release of the videotape must have had a trick. ”

"Mr. Kang has a good eye," Ye Zhiming reined in his horse's head and asked with a smile, "I wonder if Mr. Kang is interested in investing in a video distribution company?" ”

Kang Jianfei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Mr. Ye is going to make a video release?" ”

"There is this idea. But no one is willing to invest. Ye Zhiming said helplessly that in recent years, his jeans business has collapsed, the film company has collapsed, and he has lost all his money in real estate. Such a person who invests in any business and loses money. Where else would anyone dare to cooperate with him?

Kang Jianfei also asked Ma Er to stop, seriously considering the feasibility of Ye Zhiming's idea.

Movie videotapes are one of the peripheral products of movies, and they will account for a very heavy proportion of future movie profits, but at this time Hong Kong is not very good, mainly because home video recorders are not very popular.

Nowadays, the film and video distribution in Hong Kong is also a messy small company. A large proportion of them belong to pirates.

Kang Jianfei has the impression that there is a very powerful entertainment company in Hong Kong called Meiya Entertainment, like Yang Mi and Gigi Leung are the artists of this company. Meiya Entertainment originally specialized in video distribution, and in just a few years, it grew rapidly before developing into a comprehensive entertainment company.

Kang Jianfei is not an omniscient god. He didn't know that Lu Dao Meiya Entertainment would be established in a few months, but he knew that Lu Dao video tape distribution was really a lucrative business, and it could complement DreamWorks very well.

After figuring this out, Kang Jianfei suddenly smiled and said, "If Mr. Ye is free tomorrow, it is better to come out and have afternoon tea together." ”

Ye Zhiming smiled: "I haven't had anything recently, so I have a lot of time, and I'm looking for someone to drink tea with." ”

The two tacitly communicated, and Pan Disheng next to him also understood that Kang Jianfei was ready to cooperate with Ye Zhiming. However, Pan Disheng did not mix, he still knew nothing about making movies, let alone the video tape distribution business.

……

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, The Peninsula Café.

Ye Zhiming sipped the black tea and sighed: "Mr. Kang, you are a big deal this time, the advertisement for "The Terminator" actually hit the Peninsula Hotel, and the walls of the Peninsula Hotel have always been clean. ”

Kang Jian flew to the tea with milk and said with a smile: "It's nothing, just give more money." As long as "Terminator" can be sold in Hong Kong, then Nanyang, Japan and South Korea filmmakers will definitely rush to ask for it, and this advertising fee can be easily earned. ”

The promotion of "Terminator" in Hong Kong has been going on for several days, and the poster of this Hollywood sci-fi movie immediately attracted a lot of attention in Hong Kong.

There is no other reason, just because the most obvious position on the promotional poster of "The Terminator" in Hong Kong is - producer: Kang Jianfei!

That's right, what Schwarzenegger, what Linda? Hamilton, all have to stand aside, and the focus of the poster is actually Kang Jianfei, the producer.

Kang Jianfei really has no choice, because "The Terminator" is not well-known in Hong Kong from the director to the leading actors, except for Kang Jianfei, the producer, he can't find anything to promote.

The most disgusting thing is that there is such a line of words on the poster: "Mr. Kang Jianfei's sci-fi blockbuster overseas investment, Zhou Yunfa, Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong, Zhang Guorong, Anita Mui, Chen Huimin...... Highly recommended, luxury classics are definitely not to be missed. ”

On the poster, there is a string of names of Kang Jianfei's stars, and those names are printed very large and conspicuous, but the words "strongly recommended" at the back are pitifully small, and at first glance, I thought these people were the leading actors. And after the release, there are really many people who were misled into the cinema after reading the names of the stars on the poster......

The two came to the Peninsula Tea House today, naturally not only to talk about "The Terminator".

Ye Zhiming elaborated on his thoughts: "Now the video tape market in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and even the entire Southeast Asia and South Korea, is chaotic, and only Japan is more formal. This is an opportunity to do film and video distribution, Mr. Kang, you have DreamWorks as a backing, and all the movies released in the new era theaters can be used as the source of video tape companies, and once the situation is opened, it can even monopolize the video tape industry in Hong Kong. ”

Kang Jianfei smiled and asked, "You have always talked about my advantages, so what role can you play?" Aren't you afraid that I'll leave you alone? ”

"There is no end to the money in the world, and Mr. Kang, you already have a lot of companies under your hands, how can a person have the energy to set up a video distribution company?" Ye Zhiming said very confidently, "To be a well-connected person in this industry, I want to say something big here, whether it is a film under Golden Harvest or Yindu, as long as there are sufficient funds, I can get the copyright of the videotape." ”

"It's kind of interesting." Kang Jianfei asked, "Then what kind of cooperation method is Mr. Ye going to make?" ”

Ye Zhiming said bluntly: "You come to pay, and the rest will be handed over to me, and I will give forty percent of the company's shares." ”

Kang Jianfei said from afar: "Forty percent is too much, I can ask a professional manager to help me take care of the company." ”

"It's not much at all," Ye Zhiming put down the teacup and said, "The manager you paid for can have my connections in Hong Kong for decades?" Can you successfully get the video rights of other film companies? Can you easily pave the distribution pipeline? I can do it all. To be honest, this kind of collaboration can make more money than if you invested in making a movie. You give me a few million, and I give you back a large company that has a monopoly on the Hong Kong videotape market, and forty percent of the shares are not much. ”

"You will be given a maximum of 20% of the shares." Kang Jianfei said slowly, he was sure that Ye Zhiming was in despair, and no one would invest in him and cooperate with him.

Ye Zhiming sighed: "Mr. Kang still has no sincerity to cooperate. ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Mr. Ye, you said so much, but you are actually secretly changing concepts. You've been emphasizing your indispensability, but you've overlooked my importance in working together. If you work with someone else, such as Pan Disheng yesterday, can you successfully get the distribution rights of DreamWorks' film and videotapes? The answer is no. Each year, DreamWorks produces films, and the films that rely on DreamWorks distribution, although not the largest number, account for nearly one-third of the box office in Hong Kong's film market. That's the biggest amount of capital I've ever come up with in our partnership, not the millions I invested in the first place. ”

Ye Zhiming smiled bitterly in his heart, Kang Jianfei was really not easy to fool, he said: "Okay, I only need thirty percent of the shares." ”

Kang Jianfei continued to shake his head: "I said, at most twenty percent, there is no room for bargaining." If you can't accept it, you can go to someone else to cooperate, and I'll open another video distribution company myself. ”

Ye Zhiming has nothing to do about Kang Jianfei's death, not to mention that he can't find a business partner who is willing to invest, even if he can open the company, he can't play without the source of DreamWorks.

"Okay, I only need 20% of the shares, but I have the final say in the management of the company." Ye Zhiming finally relented.

Kang Jianfei smiled proudly: "The company is still yours in name, and it is a year to be able to cheat for a year." If it is known that I am the majority shareholder of the company, the film of Princess Jin and Golden Harvest, I am afraid it will be difficult to buy the distribution rights of the videotape. ”

Ye Zhiming nodded and said, "I understand this." ”

The two talked about some details of cooperation before happily shaking hands and saying goodbye.

Kang Jianfei asked for a phone in the tea restaurant and dialed the phone number of the little lover's villa, but the answer was the maid Liu's mother: "Hey, Liu's mother, you tell a few young ladies that I will come over for the night tonight, and let them prepare in advance."
