Chen Xunqi didn't have anything serious to do, and as usual, he reported to Gu Bei about the company's operation in the last quarter like chanting.

It's those over and over again, Gu Bei really can't be interested.

It's nothing more than getting a few more licenses in a certain country in Southeast Asia, and a few more cinemas can be built.

Or cooperated with a mainland production company and made a few more movies.

It is worth mentioning that Xiangjiang movies are still the same as in their previous lives, and for various reasons, they gradually began to decline.

Once led the Asian film industry, and his works have huge influence in Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other places, this Xiangjiang signboard still can't hold on.

There are many factors that contribute to this situation, the most important of which is competition, especially with the development of the mainland film market, Hong Kong Films is facing competition from the mainland.

Mainland film companies can use more resources to shoot big-budget films to attract more audiences, and in addition, films from Laomei and other Asian countries have also gained more attention in the Xiangjiang Film Market, resulting in their own living space being repeatedly compressed.

There is also the lack of creativity, which is a perennial problem, and Hong Kong's film companies are more inclined to produce films that have proven to be successful than to explore new themes and styles, which has directly led to a decline in audience interest in Hong Kong films.

In addition, the lack of investment is an important reason for the decline of Hong Kong films, because of the rise of the mainland film market, some Hong Kong film companies have focused on developing the mainland market, rather than on the local market of Hong Kong.

In addition, some studios themselves lack investment, resulting in their inability to produce high-quality big movies.

The brain drain is also exacerbating the decline of Hong Kong films, with some Hong Kong filmmakers choosing to leave Hong Kong for more attractive markets, such as the mainland or Hollywood.

This has directly led to the loss of some important talents in the Hong Kong film industry.

For example, Zhou Xingchi, who has worked as an actor and director in many classic Heung Kong films, such as He.

However, since the 2000s, he has been focusing on the mainland market, and later settled directly in the mainland.

Language and cultural differences are also barely one reason, and while Heung Kong films are popular in Asia and globally, they can sometimes struggle to be accepted by audiences in other regions because of the Cantonese language it uses.

In addition, some cultural elements of Hong Kong films may also be difficult to be understood or accepted by audiences from other cultures.

Finally, there is the impact of new media, with the rise of new media, people's entertainment methods are also changing.

Audiences can now watch movies and TV shows from all over the world through the internet and streaming platforms, which also brings challenges to the traditional model of Heung Kong Films.

In short, the combination of various factors has led to the smaller and smaller living space of Xiangjiang films, and the original box office in Southeast Asia can be used to return a wave of blood, but now with the invasion of Hollywood movies, the foreign markets in Southeast Asia are no longer the backyard of Xiangjiang films.

Fortunately, Gu Bei started the layout early, and before 2000, Guangya began to cooperate with mainland film production companies, and it was not just Mingqian.

Now, in addition to its headquarters in Xiangjiang, Guangya Pictures basically has the only remaining connection with Xiangjiang Films, that is, it continues to cultivate talents for Xiangjiang Films.

"Little Si'er, what I just said, you...... Can you understand it? ”

Xiao Si'er was fresh his laptop, and when he heard this, he looked at Gu Bei with a blank expression.

Father! What did you say?

Gu Bei saw Xiao Si'er's reaction, and suddenly felt depressed.

Although he has a lot of industries, it can be said that the most important thing is film and television, but none of the four children are interested in this.

The only one who can get a little bit of a bite is Xiaoxue, but the girl's interest is dancing, or rather, she is only interested in dancing.

As long as her grades in the cultural class were a little better, Chen Xiaoxu couldn't let her go to this school.

Not to mention the remaining three.

Alas......

The film and television empire built by Lao Tzu will be handed over to whom will it be inherited in the future?

Gu Bei suddenly felt the helplessness of Qiu Degen and Shao Yifu.

Those two old gentlemen are also facing the dilemma of having no successor.

Shao Yifu still has his confidante Fang Yihua, but Fang Yihua is also old, and when Fang Yihua can't do it, who will tVb hand over.

There are many children, but none of them are willing to take over.

In comparison, Qiu Degen is even more miserable.

As he gets older and older, the relationship with his children is not very good, and where to go for ATV has become a problem for Qiu Degen.

Just last year, Qiu Degen finally made up his mind to sell ATV's shares, and even the shares of Guangya should be transferred together.

Gu Bei naturally would not miss such a good opportunity, and finally took over the shares of Guangya in Qiu Degen's hands at a price 20% higher than the market, and also included ATV.

Originally, Gu Bei had always wanted to have a TV station of his own, but to achieve this goal, it was simply unrealistic in the mainland.

As an important propaganda platform, the state can allow private investment in the production of film and television dramas, but it is absolutely impossible to sell the platform to private individuals.

Since the mainland is not good, then having a TV station of its own in Xiangjiang is better than nothing.

Not only ATV, Shao Yifu's tVb, Gu Bei is also worried about it.

It's just that it's not time yet, Gu Bei knows that as long as Shao Yifu lives for one day, it will be impossible for him to hand over the tVb that he has spent most of his life to others.

Far from it!

Although it is still too early to say this, Gu Bei also had to put the issue of the future heir on the agenda.

It's a pity that I tested Xiao Si'er, but it turned out that this kid didn't have this idea at all.

Never mind!

The old son likes computers, so let him fiddle with them!

When he got home, Xiao Si'er couldn't wait to go back to his house, and Gu Bei asked him to hide the computer first, but he was directly forgotten by this kid.

"You bought it?"

Belch......

Before Gu Bei could confess, Xiao Si'er's laptop was discovered by Chen Xiaoxu.

Stinky boy!

Just hide in the house and fiddle with it, who told you to show off with your brothers and sisters?

"Xiao Xu, the child likes this, is interested in this, and most importantly, ......"

"I bought it, I didn't say anything!"

Without waiting for Gu Bei to finish speaking, Chen Xiaoxu completed the trial.

That's it?

I've got a lot of rhetoric to prepare, would you like to listen to it?

Obviously, Chen Xiaoxu is not interested.

"My parents made dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut, will you go?"

"Go!"

Gu Bei came back to his senses and hurriedly responded.

At home, as long as Chen Xiaoxu is not cooking, whoever makes it, Gu Bei can eat it, and it is guaranteed to be very fragrant.

Xiaoxue just called and went to her grandparents' house for dinner tonight.

didn't have to wait for her, Gu Bei and Chen Xiaoxu cleaned up and went to grandma's house with their three children.

"Grandma, grandpa!"

As soon as the children entered the door, they rushed to Chen Qiang and Wang Yuanxi, who were busy in the kitchen.

"Brother-in-law!"

Chen Xiaoyang also walked out of the main house, and with her was a tall and thin man.

"Sister, brother-in-law!"

This is Chen Xiaoyang's husband, Chen Xiaoyang, who was like a tomboy back then, also got married, and after marriage, the two helped Gu Bei run auspicious wontons together.

Today's auspicious wontons are also very different from those back then, according to the franchise store strategy that Gu Bei and Li Sufen said back then, stores have been opened all over the country.

"When did you come back?"

These two are busy people now, flying around the country every day, and it is not easy for Chen Xiaoxu to see his sister.

"We just came back, too."

Chen Xiaoyang held Chen Xiaoxu's arm, she now has the appearance of a strong child, only in front of Chen Xiaoxu, can you vaguely see the shadow of the little girl back then.

There are many people eating, and now that the weather is hot, dinner is placed directly in the courtyard.

Gu Bei and Chen Xiaoyang's husband inevitably had to accompany their father-in-law to drink two glasses.

After dinner, the family sat in the courtyard and chatted.

Chen Qiang and Wang Yuanxi are indeed old, and every time the juniors come over, they have to talk about some things when the two sisters were young.

Gu Bei listened patiently, did he make everyone laugh, and the two Chen Xiaoxu sisters searched all over the world, wanting to get into it.

Looking at the old man and his mother-in-law, Gu Bei often thinks of a talk show that Chen Qiang participated in in his previous life.

Fortunately, it won't be in this life, Chen Xiaoxu has become Gu Bei's wife, and I dare not guarantee anything else, but Gu Bei can definitely do it, so that Chen Xiaoxu will be safe and happy for the rest of his life.

It was not early, and the children wanted to stay at their grandmother's house to sleep, so Gu Bei and Chen Xiaoxu wandered home.

Usually, Gu Bei and Chen Xiaoxu often go out for a walk after dinner, and occasionally she will be recognized as Lin Daiyu back then, whenever this time, Chen Xiaoxu will be very happy.

However, as I get older and older, the audience I liked back then is getting older, and there are fewer and fewer people who can recognize Chen Xiaoxu.

"Husband!"

Belch......

"Yesterday was the fifteenth!"

Every time Chen Xiaoxu called him like this, he was hinting at something.

Chen Xiaoxu was stunned for a moment, and then pinched Gu Bei's arm fiercely.

Sizzle......

That's all you have in your head.

That's why the wicked will sue first.

Forget it, as long as you don't worry about that.

Chen Xiaoxu re-brewed his emotions: "Time flies really fast." ”

What's going on?

I just heard my father-in-law mention things when I was a child, and suddenly I feel nostalgic?

However, it is true that as Chen Xiaoxu said, time flies really quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it has been more than 20 years since he crossed over, and sometimes, he forgot that he was a crosser.

"We're old too!"

Chen Xiaoxu's tone carried an inexplicable sadness.

"What is old, only in his forties, just in his years!"

Gu Bei said in a relaxed tone.

"Just the right year?"

Chen Xiaoxu suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu Bei with a smile.

Belch......

What are you doing?

"Husband!"
