Chapter 621: Out-of-town markets
As soon as Gu Bei arrived home, Chen Xunqi came over as soon as possible.
At this moment, he was talking to Chen Qiang in the living room on the first floor.
Chen Qiang is a pianist, and he knows a lot of national musical instruments, Chen Xunqi's best thing is the soundtrack, and the two of them also have a common language, and they are very compatible with each other.
When Gu Bei came down, Chen Qiang also took out a handful of erhu that he brought over and gave it to Chen Xunqi to taste.
"Mr. Gu!"
Seeing Gu Bei, Chen Xunqi hurriedly got up.
"Sit down!"
I sent Chen Xiaoxu to Xiangjiang before, but because I was in a hurry, the two of them didn't see each other.
Chen Xunqi came to the door today, there must be something.
After listening to Chen Xunqi, Gu Bei knew that it turned out that "Infernal Affairs" had been completed, and he came over this time just in time for the evening premiere.
"Mr. Gu, this is the first work of our company since its establishment, if it is convenient, please make an appearance at the premiere!"
Gu Bei is the chairman of Guangya, although his reputation is not as good as Qiu Degen and Shao Yifu, but he should indeed make an appearance on this occasion today and meet his peers here in Xiangjiang.
"Okay, you arrange for the car to come over in the evening."
Gu Bei understood what Chen Xunqi meant, Guangya was jointly established by the three parties, but the media on the Xiangjiang side only knew Qiu Degen and Shao Yifu, but they knew very little about him.
After a long time, Gu Bei's influence on Guangya may become smaller and smaller, even if he holds the most shares, but in the eyes of outsiders, Guangya is just Qiu Degen and Shao Yifu, and he, the chairman, is easy to be regarded as a puppet pushed out by two people.
As the saying goes, you can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people.
Gu Bei didn't want to think too sinister about people's hearts, but if he should be on guard, he still had to be on guard.
Seeing that Gu Bei agreed, Chen Xunqi didn't say anything else, and then introduced the recent work of the company to Gu Bei.
At the same time as the launch of "Infernal Affairs", Guangya also launched several other projects, such as "Journey to the West", which is being filmed in the mainland, and the "Crazy Boy" series.
"The first part has been completed, but in terms of schedule, it is arranged behind "Infernal Affairs".
Chen Xunqi is best arranged in this way.
Guangya's first work, the greater the influence, the better, compared to the small-cost black of "Crazy Boy". It is more suitable for a theme movie or a big production like "Infernal Affairs".
"In addition, next year's work plan ......"
Without waiting for Chen Xunqi to finish speaking, Gu Bei stopped his words back.
"You can be responsible for the specific operation of the company, and you don't have to report everything to me!"
Don't suspect people, don't doubt people!
Since Gu Bei chose Chen Xunqi as the general manager of Guangya, responsible for the overall operation of the company, he would not interfere too much.
It's not that he wants to be a shopkeeper, but because his main focus is on the mainland, and there is very little that Xiangjiang can take care of.
Instead of remote command, it is better to delegate power to Chen Xunqi.
Anyway, the movies that the company will produce in the next few years, Gu Bei is ready.
Even if he's not here, he's in control.
The most important thing in a film company is nothing more than the work.
As for Qiu Degen and Shao Yifu, as long as Guangya can bring them benefits, they will always support Gu Bei.
Hearing Gu Bei say this, Chen Xunqi was naturally happy, he promised Gu Bei to join Guangya in order to have a place where he could show his strengths.
The trust given by Gu Bei is what Chen Xunqi values the most.
"How's the business in the other city doing now?"
This is what Gu Bei is most concerned about, Xiangjiang is such a big place, even if Guangya occupies the market, how much can it have.
If you really talk about it, Golden Harvest's strength may not be comparable to Guangya, but why, when people mention the Xiangjiang film industry, the first thing that comes to mind is Golden Harvest.
The most critical factor is that Golden Harvest has seized the foreign market in advance, and the whole Southeast Asia has almost become Golden Harvest's back garden.
"It didn't go well."
Gu Bei didn't care when he heard this, but smiled and said, "What??" Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang did it? ”
Chen Xunqi smiled bitterly, and then nodded.
"The filmmakers on the Malaysian side had already talked about it before, but when they were about to sign the contract, the other party suddenly repented, I asked someone to inquire, it seems that Golden Harvest has released a word, if Guangya's films are introduced, Golden Harvest will reduce the amount of films, and the cooperation between them has been decades, Guangya ...... Not at all. ”
"It's not that they can't compare, but they haven't seen our works yet, in the final analysis, we still have to look at the quality of the movie, if our works can attract the audience more, then those foreign film dealers, see if they will blindly meet the people of Golden Harvest."
Gu Bei said, thinking of what Chen Xunqi mentioned just now, Golden Harvest's people actually threatened Malaysian filmmakers, he wanted to laugh.
Now that Hong Kong films are dominant in Southeast Asia, the people of Golden Harvest have the confidence to say that.
In a few years, with the invasion of Hollywood commercial blockbusters, coupled with the rise of Japanese and Korean films, Hong Kong films will decline, not to mention the threat, if you can't rush to ask for it, Gu Beidu is Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang have steel bones.
"Manager Chen, the people we send to negotiate, no matter when, can not learn from the people of Jiahe, harmony can make money, and if you give up some benefits appropriately, the business can be done for a long time."
Although Gu Bei didn't remember it very clearly, he remembered that Jiahe seemed to have changed hands in the future.
In addition to the problems of the general environment of the Xiangjiang film market, the key is that Golden Harvest has lost the Southeast Asian market.
"I made a note of it! Well, the things of the other city ......"
"Let's talk about it after the release of "Infernal Affairs", the box office results will come out, and those filmmakers from other cities will come to the door by themselves, and it will not be us who will be in a hurry at that time."
For "Infernal Affairs", Gu Bei is very confident.
In the previous life, the Xiangjiang film industry declined, and it was "Infernal Affairs" that gave the entire Xiangjiang film circle a mouthful of milk, which can be regarded as a continuation of life.
If there is no "Infernal Affairs", Xiangjiang movies may be even worse.
The two chatted about the company for a while, and Chen Xunqi got up and said goodbye.
After sending Chen Xunqi away, Gu Bei went back upstairs, and Le Yun was talking with Chen Xiaoxu.
Seeing Gu Bei coming in, Le Yun hurriedly got up.
"Xiao Xu, I'll go first, if you don't hurry back to the capital, I'll come to see you in two days!"
Le Yun spoke, his tone full of reluctance.
It's been a few years since I came to Xiangjiang, and it's rare to meet an old man and chat with Chen Xiaoxu, and Leyun's mood is much better.
It's a pity that Chen Xiaoxu still has to go back, and I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again in the future.
"Gu Bei, you send Leyun for me!"
Gu Bei was stunned for a moment, nodded, and followed Le Yun downstairs again.
"How's it going??"
If it wasn't for the chance encounter, Gu Bei wouldn't have remembered to ask Leyun about his recent situation.
"It's good, after coming to Guangya, I have more work than before, although I am a little tired, but I live a very fulfilling life."
After Le Yun finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment, and then continued.
"My mom is back in Shanghai."
Belch?
Gu Bei didn't expect Le Yun to suddenly mention this, so he smiled after thinking about it.
"Very good! After all, people still have to make their own decisions! ”
In her previous life, if Le Yun hadn't brought her mother to Xiangjiang, she might not have collapsed in the endless nagging and abuse and chose to commit suicide.
It's good now.
sent Le Yun to the door and watched her get into a red car.
"Leyun!"
The car window fell, and Le Yun looked at Gu Bei.
"If you are in trouble, you can go to Chen Xunqi, and he will help you deal with it!"
Le Yun smiled, thanked him, and then drove away.
Back in the house, Xiao Si'er was still asleep, and Chen Xiaoxu was busy packing up the children's things.
"We'll have to stay here for a few days, so we don't have to pack up."
"It's always right to prepare in advance, and save the time when the time comes."
Chen Xiaoxu said, carefully folded Xiao Si'er's clothes and put them in a sealed bag.
"Leyun is gone?"
Gu Bei responded.
"What if you ...... If you don't bother, if you can help her, help her. ”
Chen Xiaoxu already knew about Le Yun's experience after coming to Xiangjiang, so he naturally felt very sorry for this former little friend.
met someone unladylike, and almost ruined Leyun.
Chen Xiaoxu still remembers that Leyun was so proud at the beginning, standing in the crowd, even if he didn't say anything or do anything, he was still the focus of everyone.
Director Wang Fulin praised Le Yun's spirituality and talent in performance more than once.
At that time, Chen Xiaoxu and the others really felt like ugly ducklings in front of Le Yun.
But time has passed, and a girl who was once so proud has now become unrecognizable to Chen Xiaoxu.
Chen Xiaoxu actually knew that the reason why Le Yun often came over to help take care of her and the children was just to let her say good things in front of Gu Bei.
"Don't worry, I'll go back and say hello to Chen Xunqi."
For Gu Bei, this kind of thing is just a gesture, but for Leyun, it is different.
"Just now, Chen Xunqi came over and said that there was a premiere of a movie in the company tonight and wanted me to attend."
"Hmmm! It's important to get down to business, don't think about me. ”
After Chen Xiaoxu finished speaking, he raised his head and added to Gu Bei.
"It's not the other way around!!"
Call......
Gu Bei was about to speak, and when he heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
He really thought that Chen Xiaoxu was losing his temper.
Just arrived in Xiangjiang, not at home with his wife and children, and going out at night, Chen Xiaoxu is normal even if he really loses his temper.
"In your eyes, I'm just a messer?"
"No, I'm just ......"
Without waiting for Gu Bei to finish speaking, Xiao Si'er suddenly cried.
The two of them didn't care about anything else, so they hurriedly stepped forward, Chen Xiaoxu picked up the child, and Gu Bei was busy checking diapers.
Good guys's!!
The child who has just passed the month is enough to pull!
"Pulled?"
Seeing Gu Bei nodding, Chen Xiaoxu was about to shout Wang Yuanxi towards the door, but stopped before he could say anything.
Then he stuffed Xiao Si'er into Gu Bei's arms.
"You change!"
