Chapter 11 Huang Baiming
"Do you know how much I'm worth?"
Zhang Jiazhen said: "Forbes reported that $6 billion? ”
Yang Shoucheng retorted: "... Not only that, TiMi's shares are 40 billion yuan, and Golden Harvest is also a major shareholder... In addition, he is the second largest individual shareholder of Warner Bros.
"I watched Vanity Fair some time ago and broke the news that you invested in Spotify, Snap and Facebook? I heard about FacebooK, you invested in 06? $12 million for 5% of the shares? ”
Shen Xudong was a little dazed... Still talking about movies?
"You are so amazing, Li Jiacheng invested 450 million US dollars in 07, accounting for only 3%! I heard that Facebook's market capitalization is estimated to exceed $15 billion! ”
Yang Shoucheng praised: "... If you don't make movies, you are definitely the top investor! ”
"Stop!" Shen Xudong interrupted them and looked at Jiang Zhiqiang: "... You know my net worth so well, then you should understand that it is impossible for me to participate in illegal business! ”
“… It's illegal when you get caught! ”
Zhang Jiazhen sneered: "Besides, the funding for movie shooting has always been..."
Shen Xudong interrupted him: "Don't use your habits in the 80s to substitute the current filmmaking, it has been ten years since Hong Kong's return to the motherland..."
Back then, Hong Kong movies prospered with black gold, and no one could say what was going on with the funds behind it...
Let's talk about a well-known thing, such as Hong Kong many years ago, how did the huge wealth obtained by the underworld through selling D become legal?
Register a film company to make a movie, don't care how bad the movie is, just put it away, and then make up a box office number with the theater, or the theater is opened by itself, and such a large amount of money is made by making movies.
Of course, don't say too much about this money, it's not credible, it's not worth it to say it's too little, it's good to be appropriate, anyway, it's much higher than the actual shooting cost.
The cost of real filming is kept as low as possible, which is why the underworld once threatened stars.
It's good to say that there is a high box office if you have a star, and you just want to use a little money to pass the time when you use a star...
This trick was played very slippery in the seventies and eighties.
Later, there was a gambling company in Macau that got an entertainment company, and he made many films with Bona - that year, when this company had an accident, the vice president of Bona suddenly jumped off the building.
And then Gu Tianlu also lost his source of funds...
So, personally go out and shout and sell "Tomorrow's War"...
By the way, the marketing used to say that only the sun can tan Gu Tianluo, but now it seems to say that Sun City...
Shen Xudong glanced at Zhang Jiazhen, and then said, "I recently learned a new word called the law of onion and garlic, let me tell you!" ”
"The law of recalculation?"
Shen Xudong said with a smile: "People who take themselves too well as onions are often very good at pretending to be garlic!" I'll tell you the truth, Hong Kong films have never been my goal, and what I thought about from the beginning of the acquisition of Golden Harvest was to make Chinese films based in Asia again, and then talk about breaking out of Asia... Boss Yang should know that I have never deliberately targeted anyone, and they all took the initiative to come to the door. ”
"Then no matter how good my temper is, it is also bloody, if you want to fight, I will fight..."
“… I took "The Grandmaster" to Hong Kong for publicity this time, you two are seniors, I originally thought to meet, so I would congratulate me on winning the Golden Lion Award, and I didn't mention a word..."Speaking of this, Shen Xudong shook his head: "We are not all the way, farewell!" ”
Get up and get ready to leave...
Yang Shoucheng got up: "Brother Shen, I also want you to go to the boat later?" ”
Shen Xudong shook his head: "No, I have already made an appointment with Huang Baiming..."
……
In addition to Golden Harvest, the producer of "Ip Man" also has Huang Baiming's Oriental Pictures.
Huang Baiming is a very interesting person, like Shen Xudong, he is also a screenwriter.
Many people say that he entered the new art city across industries, and one is "The Wrong Car", which has a score of 8.3 on Douban...
Actually, no, he first joined the TV station and first worked as an actor on TVB, participating in "Folk Legends".
Later, he began to work behind the scenes, creating TV series "Huang Feihong" and "Forced to Liangshan"; After that, he entered the film industry as a screenwriter.
In 79, Huang Baiming, Mai Jia and Shi Tian co-founded Struggle Film Company, and then, in 80, Golden Princess Entertainment, which was supported by a large real estate consortium, was favored by the joint venture of Xinyicheng Film Co., Ltd.
Later, there were "Wrong Car", "Happy Ghost", "Happy Family" series...
After the new art city was gone, Huang Baiming established Oriental Pictures.
After the millennium, Oriental Pictures also made a lot of good movies.
Photographer Chen's first film "9 Girls and 1 Ghost" was produced by him.
In the original time and space, he faded out of the mainland film industry because of the fiasco of "Loyal Yang Family General"!
The production cost of "Loyal Yang Family General" is close to 170 million - even if there is no such number, at least it is close to 100 million, and the star salary alone is close to 30 or 40 million, plus the costume production, the big scene...
The final box office was 61 million, a blood loss!
Pull it back, Shen Xudong likes him a lot.
Many people say that he is Kirk Douglas in Hong Kong, and he plays very much, and Wang Jing is also a younger brother in front of him in this regard...
This, Shen Xudong believes it!
Because he praised Yang Tianbao, and then set up a line with Huang Xiaoming, whom she knew...
However, everyone knows the chaos in the Hong Kong film industry, and it doesn't matter if he is in this situation, you know, Kirk Douglas is a well-known scumbag and a strong woman...
Another point, in the past few years, every time Shen Xudong comes to Hong Kong, there will be a surprise!
This time is no exception...
specially arranged for an 18-year-old mixed-race girl to accompany Shen Xudong on a night tour of Victoria Harbor, what is Wu Qianyu...
It's really amazing, and he has accurately grasped the changes in Shen Xudong's aesthetics - he hasn't had an artistic exchange with someone older than him for a long time!
……
"Marvel isn't doing some kind of movie universe, I think the "Ip Man" series can also... Last year's "Zhang Tianzhi" bought well, we can extend it further..."
"Zhang Tianzhi", starring Zhang Jing.
With the "Crime City" series in hand, Zhang Jing seems to be already a first-line action actor, with a box office sale of 160 million in the mainland, 29 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, nearly 7 million US dollars in Southeast Asia, and 3.8 million US dollars in North American copyrights...
Oh, in addition to preaching and imparting liquid, Shen Xudong also wants to talk to Huang Baiming about business!
'Happy event', 'good news' or something, Shen Xudong is not interested in it at all...
These things were completely photographed by Huang Baiming, and then used by the old guys for the elderly.
I can't keep up with it for a long time!
I knew about comedy for a long time, and once the creators were behind the times, it was really scary...
Therefore, Shen Xudong and Huang Baiming are talking about action movies...
"Ip Man Cinematic Universe?"
"That's right..."Shen Xudong nodded; In the second part, we talked about Ip Man's foothold in Hong Kong, and the third part mainly discussed the authenticity of Wing Chun... The third part is Xingyi Boxing and Baguazhang fighting Wing Chun! ”
"The second part is filmed, Master Luo is good at the art of the Great Sage's splitting and hanging, and Master Zheng is in charge of Bagua..."
Shen Xudong interjected: "I've always had a problem. ”
"You say."
"Since these martial artists are so particular about inheritance and rules, then... When taekwondo, karate, and Muay Thai took root in Hong Kong, no one went to the gym? ”
Huang Baiming smiled and lowered his voice: "The Hong Kong martial arts community once challenged Muay Thai, and the results were miserable, it is said that one died and one was seriously injured, and since then the Muay Thai storm has swept through the Xiangjiang River, and it has become a trend for the old boy to learn Muay Thai, and the famous ones are Su Long and Li Yutian of the new X'an, and Chen Zhiming, one of the suspects who shot Li Lian's agent, is said to be also a Muay Thai master, known as the Hong Kong knee king..."
