Qin Di came out of Phoenix City and came to the Little Red House of Baidai Company.

At this time, EMMOI was preparing to resume work, and the singers who had signed long-term contracts had already returned and were holding various concerts.

Qin Di called Zhou Tianlin and Li Jinhui, and the three of them closed the door to have a small meeting.

Qin Di said: "I want to integrate its resources and open a large entertainment company, which includes two parts: film and music. The name of the company is 'Baidai Entertainment'. The headquarters is located in Hong Kong, and the branch is located in the magic capital. ”

Li Jinhui was surprised: "Mr. Qin, are you doing the opposite? The magic capital is the largest city in the Far East, and Hong Kong is far worse than here." ”

Qin Di smiled slightly, and said: "Don't care about these things for now, just say that I am going to open a film company and an audio-visual company in Hong Kong, you help me think of a way, how can I do it?"

Zhou Tianlin said: "Music is easy to handle, I am familiar with all the processes. As long as I have the funds, I can go to Hong Kong in person and build a similar company here. ”

Li Jinhui said: "Mr. Qin, if you really want to make a movie, I recommend two capable people to you, they are brothers, named Li Beihai and Li Minwei. ”

Qin Di said: "Then tell me, where do these two people come from?"

Li Jinhui said slowly: "Although we are both surnamed Li, we are far away, I am from Hunan, and they are from Guangdong. In 1913, Li Beihai directed Hong Kong's first feature short film "Zhuangzi Tries a Wife", and served as the male protagonist Zhuangzi. He also served as the manager of Hong Kong's first all-Chinese new film company, and co-founded Hong Kong's first cinema "New World" with his brother. In 1925, he wrote, directed and acted in Hong Kong's first feature film "Rouge". In 1930, he served as the director of the Hong Kong Studio of Lianhua Film Company and the director of the Lianhua Actor Training Institute.

The reason why I recommend him is because he is a film art educator and a living fossil in the film industry! He has many protégés, such as Mai Xiaoxia, Zhu Puquan, Xu Mengchen, Xue Zhaorong, Li Jianxian, Li Tie, Huang Dai, Shi Youyu, and Chen Wuyang...... and other screenwriters, directors, actors, set designers, producers...... As long as you can invite him out of the mountain, it will be very easy for you to set up a film company!"

When Qin Di heard this, he immediately became interested: "Then what happened to him?"

Li Jinhui sighed and said: "Making movies is very expensive, and it is not guaranteed to make money. Lai founded a film company, set up a cinema, and cultivated film talents, devoting his life to Hong Kong's film industry. In 1934, after the filming of the film "Bo Xing", he quit the film industry, mainly because he had no money and no financial strength to engage in film production.

After retiring from the film industry, he made a living by running a snack bar in Hong Kong. In July 1937, he was invited by his brother Lai Man-wai to come to the magic capital to prepare to make a film again, but only a month later, Japanese guns destroyed the film company. Li Beihai is still in the magic capital, living in poverty and ......"

Qin Di said: "Please help me introduce you." I want to ask him out of the mountains. ”

Li Jinhui said: "Okay, this person is a little old, but his love for movies has not diminished back then. ”

"It doesn't matter how old you are, as long as you can help me for a few years and build the shell of the company. ”

"Mr. Qin, I still don't understand, why did you go to Hong Kong to build a film company?"

"This ...... It will take two years to explain ......"

Qin Di wanted to set up a film company because he was unwilling to completely retire and wanted to master a public opinion media. Moreover, if he lives in Hong Kong half the time, does not have a business in his hands, only knows how to speculate in real estate, and falls in the eyes of people with intentions, it will also seem a little strange.

Think about it: The famous Qin Dashao, who causes trouble everywhere he goes, how can he fall to the point of being lonely and nameless?

Of course, he only cares about the capital and does not interfere in specific affairs.

Two days later, he hosted a banquet for Li Beihai and Li Minwei at a restaurant, accompanied by Li Jinhui.

Li Beihai has big ears and wears a pair of glasses, while Li Minwei has the same square face, but he does not wear glasses.

Both of them are older than Qin Di, about ten years older.

Because Li Jinhui had already communicated in advance, the two sides hit it off, and then they mainly listened to how much money Qin Di was prepared to give and what specific requirements he had.

Qin Di said: "I don't know how much it costs to set up a film company, I am ready to invest 20 million US dollars in advance, is it enough?"

Li Beihai gasped: "Enough, more than enough!"

Qin Di said: "I want to ask two to be the chief and deputy managers, each with a basic salary of 200,000 US dollars per year, plus if the company is profitable, you can also get additional dividends." According to the common program of Qin's enterprises, the proportion of dividends accounts for 30% of profits, but the two of you together can only share 1%, and the rest is distributed to the staff below. ”

Li Minwei said with a smile: "Such treatment is already very good, and we are very satisfied." But I don't know what kind of movie Mr. Qin wants to make?"

"It's mainly commercial films, I don't have specific requirements, you can do it. ”

"What if I lose?"

"If I lose money, I will continue to replenish the capital, you can rest assured, as long as the director you invited is serious about filming and giving full play to his creativity, I can bear the loss for 20 years. Qin Di said in his heart: "I have 8,000 tons of gold to press the bottom of the box, even if I lose 100 years, I am not afraid!"

The Li brothers nodded secretly, and said in their hearts: "He is worthy of being the richest man in the Republic of China, and he is really wealthy." ”

Qin Di looked at the faces of the two of them, and inadvertently frowned slightly, because he had already seen that these two were not longevity, and there was not much left of Yang Shou.

Because it was the first time they met, it was not good for him to point it out directly, let alone take out ginseng to extend the life of the other party.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Li Beihai's words began to increase: "I'm old, and I can't make a film in person, so I can only help you set up the scene, find all kinds of personnel, establish the film company, and then formulate various rules......"

Qin Di smiled: "This is exactly what I want." I've heard that you know a lot of directors and producers, so I would like to ask you for more help. ”

Li Beihai said with a smile: "In 1924, I founded the 'Minxin Actors Training Institute', in 1928 I founded the 'Hong Kong Film Actors Training Institute', and in 1931 I opened two phases of the 'Lianhua Film Company Actors Training Institute'. I taught about 200 apprentices, but some of them didn't work in film anymore, and those who stayed were the best...... Shi Youyu, Chen Wuyang, Hu Yixing, Tang Xingtu, Feng Jiezhen, Ye Renfu, Zeng Chaowu, Chen Qirui, ......"

He recounted the names one by one unhurriedly, his face was full of joy, and he could not see the image of poverty in recent years. As a great artist, he naturally has his own style and bones, people are not short of ambitions, and horses have longer thin hair.
