Huayu since 1980

Chapter 456 Threats and suppression (4000+ chapters, please subscribe~)

In the short and glorious history of the Xiangjiang film industry, New Arts City seems to be a microcosm of the Xiangjiang film industry. It was born out of nowhere, and in just ten years, it has experienced from the beginning to the glory, and then to the disintegration!

The Seven Monsters of Xinyi City who used to be in the famous Struggle Room in Xiangjiang have also disbanded long ago.

The first one to run away was Xiaozi Zeng. There is no way that Xiaozi Zeng was very popular in Xiangjiang. Before he became famous, he was already a famous idea king when he was in the circle. Many screenwriters found him, hoping that he could add some funny plots to their scripts.

And Zeng Zhiwei also lived up to expectations every time, always able to make the icing on the cake, so this also formed his habit of being late.

At that time, many film companies were very interested in Zeng Zhiwei and wanted to recruit him, but in the end the bald man had the upper hand.

2 workers per month, rent a house, rent a car, three conditions are given, Zeng Zhiwei became a struggle room, one of the seven monsters in New Art City.

And Zeng Zhiwei actually left because he wanted to show his brother's loyalty. For his big brother Hong Jinbao's platform, when Wu Jianye gave the script of the "Five Lucky Stars" series, he made it clear that the role of Luo Han Guo should be played by Zeng Zhiwei.

Then there was Teddy Robin. This master pursued niche literary and artistic films. Obviously, there was a big discrepancy with the plans of the bald man and others in New Art City, so Teddy Robin also left New Art City.

In fact, if Wu Jianye hadn't appeared, this year, Zeng Zhiwei would join his old friends Tan Yonglin, Teddy Robin and Huang Yulang's support to establish 'Good Friends' Films.

But now? Good friends are destined to be gone~
In the end, it was Tsui Hark who was unconstrained, what Tsui Hark wanted to shoot, but the bald guy and others didn't want to shoot, so the two parties finally broke up peacefully. movie studio.

As Tsui Hark's confidante, Shi Nansheng is naturally a husband and wife.

Since then, the Seven Monsters of New Art City have become history, and now only the original Big Three, the bald man, Huang Boming, and Ishida, are left.

These three people are also gradually growing gaps, and it is not uncommon for the accounts to be independent.

And now the most important bald man and Ishida have no interest in the film business. Originally, in another time and space, the bald man would launch Lin Lingdong and launch the Fengyun series in the past few years. As a result, Lin Lingdong was cut off by Fengge Entertainment, and they were gone. Zhou Run issued this trump card, so the bald man also started to focus more on the stock market in advance.

Ishida is more concerned about his real estate investment.

In the end, only Huang Boming was left, and started working on his "Happy Ghost" series and New Year's films.

However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. At this time, Xinyi City is still the third largest film company in Hong Kong. If you want to make the film studios in Wanwan submit, you must join Xinyi City. The most important thing is Xinyi City. It can be said that the city was supported by the filmmakers of Wanwan. If Xinyicheng can also join its camp, then the meaning of the whole thing will be even more different.

In Yung Kee's private room, two old friends, Hung Kam Po and the bald man, were having a drink and chatting.

In 1973, the 29-year-old bald man returned to Hong Kong with US$1500 in his pocket. When he returned from the United States, he had long hair and a thick beard.

After returning to Xiangjiang, the old man joined the film industry and made his first film "A Single Branch Walks the End of the World".

Later, through someone's introduction, I got to know Hong Jinbao, and with the support of Hong Jinbao, the two established Garbo Films.

By the way, Zeng Zhiwei is the dragon and tiger martial artist in "A Bachelor Walks the World".

During Garbo's period, the bald man met Huang Poming and Ishida respectively, and later the three formed Xinyi City. It can be said that the bald man's success was supported by Hong Jinbao in the initial stage, which is why he has achieved his current achievements.

At the [-]nd Golden Statue Awards Ceremony, following Jiang Dawei's whistle beside him, Li Jing opened the envelope containing the list of Best Actors, and the only time in the history of the Golden Statue Awards was double egg yolks.

Hong Jinbao in a black suit hurried over from the back seat, his outstretched hand was stopped by a bald man in a white suit, and his arm was caught in his arm socket when he raised it.

The two dressed in one black and one white, as if they had discussed it in advance, they walked onto the stage arm in arm.

At that time, the Golden Statue Awards were still shabby, the awards were twins, and there was only one trophy, which was held in Hung Jinbao's hand unceremoniously.

The bald man smiled and said: "Using this opportunity, I would like to thank a person who discovered me as a new star. It is said that six years ago, he wanted to direct a play and let me guest star in it for three days. , to avenge my personal revenge, and to want me to shave my head so cruelly, and to speak country dialect to vilify me, this is my best friend, Mr. Sammo Hung."

Later, even though the bald man was Huang Boming, the shareholder of New Art City with the most shares among the three of Ishida still went to act in Hong Jinbao's movie "The Best Lucky Star", from which we can see the relationship between the two of them.

This is why some people always say that even though the major film companies were about to make shit out of the golden age of Xiangjiang Films, these actors often got together to drink and chat at night.

Because Xiangjiang is really too small, the circle is so big, everyone basically knows each other, especially a big brother like Hong Jinbao who is loyal and willing to support newcomers, he should be respected in Xiangjiang.

Just think about the actors from "Rich Train" and "Summer Lucky Star" and you will know his influence in Xiangjiang.

Not only did Hong Jinbao meet with the bald man at Yung Kee, but also Gong Jiapei met with Shi Tian and Jiang Zhiqiang met with Huang Baiming in the other two restaurants.

The next day!

Wu Jianye personally met with Lei Juekun and told Lei Juekun about his plan.

"Director Wu, originally you came to talk about this in person, and I shouldn't have refused, but the establishment of New Art City was helped by Wanwan, and now you have asked me to unite and boycott the filmmakers of Wanwan. I am afraid."

Regarding Lei Juekun's refusal, Wu Jianye actually guessed it a long time ago, but this did not dispel Wu Jianye's decision.

"Lei Weng, I don't think you need me to tell you what's going on inside New Art City. The three people in New Art City have their own ideas. If you persist for a few years, you will never know, so it is better to give them a new direction now than to end in a dismal end."

Lei Juekun nodded and said: "Of course I know this, but it's still the same sentence, Director Wu, Wanwan has kindness to me, I can't repay my kindness at this time!"

Wu Jianye didn't take Lei Junkun's words to heart. There is no such thing as betrayal in this world. There is no betrayal just because the stakes of betrayal are not high enough.

Or maybe they weren't threatened enough!

"Lei Weng, if I mean, what if the bald man, Huang Boming, and Ishida give up New Art City? What will New Art City do then?"

Lei Juekun's face changed drastically. The two most important components of the film company are excellent filmmakers and successful theater chains.

Of course, there is no need to mention the Golden Princess cinema chain. The third largest cinema chain in Xiangjiang has film talents that are also enviable. Otherwise, Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers would not have played in New Art City back then.

He believed that at Wu Jianye's position, he would definitely not be aimless, that is to say, he had his own support?

Thinking of this, Lei Juekun couldn't help looking at Wu Jianye. He thought that Wu Jianye might play tricks on the Kowloon Bus, but as Sun Hung Kai's control over the Kowloon Bus became tighter, Lei Juekun had already realized that he Perhaps it will never be possible to truly control the Kowloon Bus as before.

Without the constraints of the Kowloon Bus, Lei Juekun was not so worried about Wu Jianye.

But I didn't expect that Wu Jianye would directly draw his salary from the bottom of the pot. If things were really as Wu Jianye said, New Art City would almost be emptied.

"Director Wu, this kind of thing is no joke!"

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Debao Mansion is planning to invest in an action movie co-operated by Hong Jinbao and the bald guy. At the same time, Fengge Entertainment has already negotiated with Huang Boming. If the other party is interested, they will invest in him to set up a new company." The company's shares are Fengge Entertainment 60%, Huang Boming 40%, the same level of treatment as Hong Jinbao, I remember that Huang Boming's shares in New Art City are only 18%? As for Ishida, Yiwang The group decided to support him in setting up a property company.”

Lei Juekun sat on his sofa slumped, Wu Jianye's move was the bottom line, if it was really like this, then New Art City would be over.

"I still have Golden Princess Cinemas and Tsui Hark Film Studio!" Lei Juekun said calmly.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "I remember that in the Golden Princess cinema chain, Lei Weng only has six cinemas of his own, and the rest are franchises, right? If Debao Haoting announces the establishment of its own cinema chain and wins How many of them?"

"As for Tsui Hark's film studio, if the previous two items have been settled, will Tsui Hark continue to follow Lei Weng?"

When Wu Jianye walked out of Norway Real Estate, the sun shone on the ground, making people sweat immediately.

After getting into the car, Wu Jianye smiled and ordered to go back to Repulse Bay.

Cai Songlin was busy buying the scattered shares of Debao Haoting in the market at this time, but a phone call made him stop this action.

The office of the chairman of Debao House.

Jiang Zhiqiang sat in his seat, facing Cai Songlin.

"Mr. Cai, I have made it very clear. If Bafang Investment does not hand over the shares of Debao Haoting, then starting today, no Xiangjiang film company will send its own films to Wanwan for release! "

Cai Songlin looked at Jiang Zhiqiang with a livid face.

He really didn't expect that within a few days after Wu Jianye arrived in Xiangjiang, the situation in Xiangjiang would undergo earth-shaking changes. At this moment, Xiangjiang's film companies would really unite and dare to boycott the Wanwan market. It never happened.

But now all of this has come true, this is at least [-] million annual losses for Xiangjiang Films?
"Jiang Zhiqiang, don't forget that I am still the director of Debaohaoting. If Debaohaoting does something that is not conducive to the company's development, I think at that time, no one will support you to continue as Debaohaoting. Are you the chairman of the court?"

This is already Cai Songlin's last hole card!
Jiang Zhiqiang smiled and said: "Mr. Cai, I know that you have been secretly absorbing the shares of Debao Haoting, but now that we have obtained the support of more than 51% of the company's shareholders, I think the situation you said is impossible." of."

"What?" Cai Songlin stood up in surprise, "This is impossible!"

He did not believe that this practice, which was almost digging its own grave, would win the support of 51% of shareholders.

Jiang Zhiqiang handed a document on the table to Cai Songlin, "The above is the agreement for Fengge Entertainment to acquire Michael Kadoorie's shares. As long as we sign, this contract will take effect immediately!"

Cai Songlin sat down dejectedly, he didn't expect that someone in the group of the three of them would betray again.
"If you quit Debao Mansion, we don't need to pursue the previous conflict between you and me. We can ignore the matter that you want to continue investing in the film company in Xiangjiang!"

If it was hell just now, Jiang Zhiqiang's decision now did not hesitate to pull Cai Songlin and others back to the ground.

Unexpectedly, Fengge Entertainment would do this, picked it up heavily, but put it down gently.

"Conditions?" Cai Songlin asked.

He knew that things couldn't be so simple.

Jiang Zhiqiang smiled, "It's very simple. In Xiangjiang, only we, Fengge Entertainment, can make rules in the future, and you can only do things within the scope of these rules."

"By the way, there is one more thing, that is, Director Wu Jianye, our company's senior consultant, is very dissatisfied with your previous actions, so the bosses of your eight film studios have to come to Xiangjiang to apologize to Director Wu Jianye in person. , and at the same time, the films directed by Wu Jianye will not be subject to any objection when they are released in Wanwan!"

"It's impossible!" Cai Songlin's first reaction was to object, which was a great humiliation for them. In the past, they were above Xiangjiang, but now they are asked to act according to the rules of Fengge Entertainment .

Most importantly, I have to apologize to Wu Jianye!
Jiang Zhiqiang said indifferently: "Since Mr. Cai is not willing, there is nothing to talk about. I forgot to tell Mr. Cai that the layout of Fengge Theater Line in Southeast Asia has been completed, and it can at least provide for Hongkong Film Industry peers every year." Bringing more than 10 billion in revenue, then the Wanwan market will no longer be so important!"

Cai Songlin sat there with a cloudy expression on his face. Now that Fengge Entertainment's layout in Southeast Asia has been completed, Wanwan, which has always been the largest ticket warehouse in Xiangjiang, is naturally not that important.

"By the way, there is one more thing, if you don't agree to director Wu's conditions, then from now on, if all the actors in Xiangjiang appear in movies invested by your company, then this actor will be blocked by the entire Xiangjiang show business circle , and at the same time, Debao Mansions will sell its ten cinemas under construction to Fengge Cinemas!"
