HK$2,100,000.

For the current Li Jiacheng, it is not a small number.

Before the acquisition of Huangpu Dock by Changjiang Industry, Changjiang Industry was a factory, and plastic flowers could not raise a business giant. As the last lot fell into the hands of Huo Guantai, the auction ended, and the guests got up and left their seats and moved to the next ballroom to start the charity dinner and dine together.

If the auction is used to fight for fame, then the charity dinner is a place to cash in on fame.

"Mr. Ho."

"Congratulations."

"The first charity auction on Hong Kong Island was auctioned, and more than 8 million donations were auctioned, and tomorrow the dinner will be on the front page of the news." Shao Yifu raised his wine glass and stepped forward to congratulate. As a rival in the industry, Shaw Brothers competed fiercely with Oriental Films and produced many good films.

Shaw Brothers Pictures has been in the layout for 30 years and has a strong foundation.

Although He Dingxian grabbed the market, he was still in the limelight.

"Thank you."

He Dingxian raised his glass in return, which can be regarded as a respect for his predecessors in the film industry, but he already knew in his heart that Shao Yifu had received foreign capital injection, and Shaw Brothers already had a British background in the equity structure.

Seeing that he didn't want to talk more, Shao Yifu drank the wine, got up and left, and went to chat with his colleagues in the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce.

Huo Guantai stepped forward and said: "Shaw Brothers praised Li Lihua last year and made the first color movie "Begonia Red" on Hong Kong Island, which set a box office of 70,000 Hong Kong dollars for the first broadcast, and a single film can earn hundreds of thousands, and attracted superstar Lin Dai to join. ”

"You've got a rival in the studios."

He Dingxian disagreed: "Shaw Brothers has good ability in the film industry, but Oriental Pictures has developed and is already stronger than Shaw Brothers in the production industry." In recent years, Shaw Brothers has been fond of cultivating actresses, hoping to learn from the Great Wall to cultivate a few more Xia Meng and Shi Hui. ”

"But film needs an industrial base, and Oriental Pictures has built a filming base in Sham Shui Po, and together with International Television, it has acquired Wing Wah Studio, and the two companies share a production plant."

"The cost is down, the scale is up, and the theater is laid, which is enough."

Huo Guantai pondered: "Everyone says that film is art, but you say that it is industry, and you also propose to reduce costs and increase efficiency." ”

"Interesting."

He Dingxian said with a smile: "Art belongs to art, making money belongs to making money, and treating movies as a business, so we will follow the way of doing business, and treat movies as an art, and play according to the way of playing art, you see, Lu Yuntao is dedicated to making high-quality movies, and the box office is still booming." ”

Lu Yuntao's international electric products are not many, but the quality is very guaranteed, and it sells well in Nanyang, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Moreover, Lu Yuntao tried to shoot Cantonese movies, and he was very profitable in the family theater chain in Nanyang. He only relies on the quality of movies on Hong Kong Island, and he is not necessarily very popular, but a cinema chain in Nanyang is placed there, which is actually a money printing machine. The film studio on Hong Kong Island is responsible for filming, just like importing ink for a money printing machine, and whether it is famous or not does not affect the family's money at all.

Unlike Oriental Pictures and the Shaw Brothers, theaters and movies are on the same page, breaking the head!

The Hong Kong Island film circle now has leftist film companies such as Great Wall and Phoenix, shooting promotional Chinese films, as well as Dongfang, Shaw Brothers, and International Electric Mao making commercial films, and some small film companies, as well as Hokkien language films.

It shows a situation of a hundred flowers blooming and a prosperous culture, showing the potential of the East Asian film base, and it can be said that it is the current talent, thought, and cultural collision that will create the prosperity of Hong Kong Island films in the future.

However, in the best boom period, Hong Kong Island films did not grasp the first-mover advantage in East Asia, did not delve into the film industry, and did not lay a good foundation.

Leads to loneliness.

There are some political situations, the reasons for the change of ideology, but it is a sin not to grasp the opportunity. Oriental Pictures' goal is not to make any artistic masterpieces, but to lay a solid industrial foundation step by step, which may bring the Hong Kong Island film industry to a higher level.

He Dingxian and Lu Yuntao were eyeing the bankrupt Yonghua Studio at the same time, but the two were already partners, which hindered the interests of Nanyang.

He Dingxian couldn't even wipe his face away from secretly bad money, so he had to let Lu Yuntao get a piece of the pie. At present, the two companies share a production base, and the film company is controlled by itself, but the base is registered as a separate company, jointly holding 50 percent.

In this way, the film base will become bigger in the future, and it can also collect rent for other companies to use.

As long as the film and television resources on Hong Kong Island are attracted, even if the film industry falls into decline, it can still ensure the company's income.

Huo Guantai bowed his head: "Ah Xian, Gao Jian." ”

"Is there any new movie for Lu Yuntao recently?"

He Dingxian said with a smile: "I am filming a drama called "Four Thousand Gold", which will be released soon. ”

There are four heroines in this play, all of whom are teenagers, young and cute, and beautiful.

"Be sure to see it."

Huo Guantai likes Lu Yuntao's play.

In the early stage of development, Hong Kong Island films have always been dominated by Chinese films. Hong Kong Island films, i.e., Cantonese films, are actually a misconception. Because Chinese has the widest spread and the widest audience, Cantonese has delineated the audience and has to accept a lower market, or spend high prices for translation and dubbing.

In the absence of dubbing technology, and low literacy rates.

Cantonese is a natural disaster.

What's more, many directors in the early days were from Shanghai and the mainland.

I don't know Cantonese at all.

In addition, during the Anti-Japanese War, Nanjing explicitly banned the import of dialect films into the mainland, which led to the withering of a few Cantonese films on Hong Kong Island, and even a situation of zero Cantonese films a year. You must know that the film markets of the two places are open to each other, and Hong Kong Island films are already heavily dependent on the mainland market.

The origin of "Cantonese films" is that the Hong Kong government and some countries deliberately restricted the import of Chinese films, and it was only in the seventies and eighties that overseas royalties increased greatly and became an important income for film companies, and the circulation of Cantonese films increased significantly.

But counting the production volume of each set, Chinese films far exceed Cantonese films. Therefore, Hong Kong Island films are mainly based on Cantonese, which is actually a fork in the era, and when the mainland market becomes strong, it will naturally be dominated by Chinese.

As a window to radiate outward, Hong Kong Island has only served as a production base in Southeast Asia, and once the mainland recovers its economy, its own production base will be born. If Hong Kong Island Pictures wants to continue to be brilliant, the only opportunity is to expand overseas and enter Europe and the United States.

Li Xiaolong, who is the proudest of the Hong Kong Island film industry, actually shoots movies that are released in "Chinese". Although the Chinese language is not very standard and is dubbed later, it is enough to explain something.

"Home City."

"You spend money, others are flattering, and they don't really want to make friends." Zhuang Mingyue was wearing a cheongsam, graceful and luxurious, and at first glance, she was from a large family. Li Jiacheng wore a suit, stood in the corner, and said in a low voice: "There is no money spent in vain in the world. ”

"If I don't shoot to the end, others will only laugh at me, and now that I shoot to the end, they will not only laugh at me, but also respect me."

The poor boy has been transformed into a boss, and he has also married his cousin.

Zhuang Mingyue sighed: "There is a batch of accounts to be settled next month." ”

"You want to bid for the Industrial Building project in North Point."

The Hong Kong government has a lot of new plans to launch, and the land is getting hotter, rising three times a year.

The city has gradually seen the construction of high-rise buildings and the transformation of housing estates to become more modern.

Li Jiacheng has long wanted to enter the real estate industry to get a piece of the pie, but HSBC obviously will not invest at will, and will screen a number of chess pieces layer by layer, and after thousands of selections, it will bet heavily on a few of them. This is undoubtedly raising Gu, how can you stand out and become a Gu King without some ability?

"Don't be afraid."

"After this money is settled, I will find a bank loan again, and I will get it back in two months." Li Jiacheng said: "The Nanyang plastic market is still very hot, the factory is not short of orders, today's things are spreading, maybe the matter of the industrial building will be dramatic." ”

Hatred of the enemy.

It is proof of loyalty.

Li Jiacheng is shrewd, he has long guessed what the ghost guy means, and often takes the initiative to cooperate, and he has become more and more liked by the ghost guy. At this time, Chu Yunnan came to the two of them with a wine glass: "Mr. Li, Mrs. Zhuang." ”

"Thank you both for your support of charity."

Li Jiacheng raised his glass and smiled: "Thank you, Miss Chu." ”

"No, you don't."

"I have time to take care of my wife." After Chu Yunnan finished toasting, he took it in his hand and did not drink it.

Li Jiacheng's expression was stunned.

A few people next to him were chatting, and suddenly fell into silence, turning their heads to look at Li Jiacheng, their eyes revealing a pitiful look.

"Miss Chu."

"What do you mean?"

Li Jiacheng was incredulous.

Chu Yunnan said: "There are many ways to do business, but selling the people around you is the most lowly one. ”

He Dingxian appeared behind him, grabbed her arm, raised his glass and said, "I'm sorry, Boss Li, there is a little misunderstanding." ”

"He Sheng."

Li Jiacheng said with a straight face: "I'm just a pure businessman, and I hope that business matters don't involve family members." ”

"Definitely."

He Dingxian nodded: "Every industry has a bottom line, if you do business seriously, no one can touch you." However, Mr. Li, there is a sentence I want to tell you in advance, capital has no borders, but people do! ”

"A businessman should be a master of money, not a slave of money."

"If you sell everything, sooner or later you will be sold."

A touch of anger rose in Li Jiacheng's heart, but a different kind of stimulation rose, and in front of everyone's eyes, he received a warning from a big man, which was a kind of glory for his current status. As he jotted down his words, he replied: "The one who frames the borders of the country with money is a slave, but a slave owner has been changed." ”

He Dingxian was shocked, he didn't expect Li Jiacheng to say this, but he was no longer talking about things, but rising to ideology, since ideology is opposed, all truths will be opposed, and it is useless to rely on talks.

"You're great, but you're arrogant."

He took a sip of wine.

"Hong Kong Island is a Chinese city, not a ghost, let alone your city!"

"Goodbye."
