Support Chinese-language films, return ten times the losses

As expected, Golden Harvest did not agree to Sun Yaowei playing Hua Yingxiong.

When Zou Wenhuai learned that Tang Jinshan had invested, he specially asked Wang Pangzi and others to invite him out for a meal to reconnect.

He knew that Yang Shou wanted to bring Tang Jinshan into the entertainment industry, and he himself wanted to as well.

Affected by the financial crisis, Jiahe's performance was also unsatisfactory.

In previous years, they would shoot more than a dozen movies every year, but now the filming schedule has been greatly reduced.

The two most important projects at present are Jackie Chan's "Glass Bottle" and Liu Weiqiang's "Chinese Hero".

Moreover, they have their own cinema chains, and Tang Jinshan has the funds to invest in film production, so there is a lot of room for cooperation between them.

Especially after reducing its own film production, it needs to find other film sources to support cinemas.

Tang Jinshan's films, on the other hand, are produced with deep pockets and guaranteed quality.

Naturally, they would be very happy to release it in their own theaters.

Tang Jinshan never expected that he would be sitting with so many big shots and having such a long discussion in such a short time.

He also expressed his pleasure at cooperating with Zou Wenhuai's overtures.

He plans to hand over the distribution of any films he produces to his company.

Of course, these are just polite words.

He came today mainly to talk about "Chinese Hero".

"Boss Zou, I want to increase the production cost of 'Chinese Hero,' especially the storyline about Chinese laborers. If necessary, we can film it in the United States."

Regarding special effects, they should be better than those of "Storm Riders," not weaker. Sacrificing film quality for cost is the most unwise thing to do.

"I understand Mr. Tang's sentiments. So, I'll give you this project. I believe it will be able to flourish in your hands."

My main responsibility is film distribution and theater management; I'll handle the logistics for you.

Zou Wenhuai laughed heartily.

Firstly, it was to do Tang Jinshan a favor.

Secondly, none of the movies Tang Jinshan invested in made money, so he was genuinely afraid.

Let's just drop this project and focus on helping Jackie Chan make "Glass Bottle".

Their recent key project is to release "Glass Bottle" during the Spring Festival.

And then there's "Gen-X Cops".

Yang Shou invited Jackie Chan and Chan Tze-keung to be producers and also asked Jackie Chan to make a cameo appearance.

If funds can be withdrawn from "Chinese Hero", then why not invest them there and get to know Yang Shou?

With the publisher's commission, it's a sure-fire way to make a profit.

This can be described as killing three birds with one stone!

That was a brilliant retreat!

"Then thank you very much, Boss Zou, for your kindness!"

Tang Jinshan was equally excited.

Once the project is in your own hands, the story changes.

There's more room for maneuver!

Additional investment, on-location filming in the US, extensive special effects...

Furthermore, the appointment of Sun Yaowei resulted in the loss of markets on both islands...

No worries about losing money!

Only Liu Weiqiang and others were worried.

Golden Harvest had previously invested in Fengyun, and the collaboration was pleasant.

Now that Zou Wenhuai has withdrawn his investment, will Tang Jinshan make up the difference?

Even if they had to choose between Zou Wenhuai and Tang Jinshan, they would prefer to cooperate with Zou Wenhuai.

After all, he has deep roots in the film industry, extensive connections, and a deep understanding of film operations.

Tang Jinshan quickly dispelled their concerns.

He announced that he would not only make up for the 10 million yuan owed to Zou Wenhuai, but would also add another 20 million yuan to help them make the best possible film of "Chinese Hero"!

"Thank you so much, Mr. Tang! I promise I won't let you down!"

Liu Weiqiang was extremely excited.

Luck has finally smiled upon me!

People outside say Tang Jinshan is a fool with too much money, but now, as someone who experienced it firsthand, I feel nothing but endless gratitude!

I will be eternally grateful to my boss for recognizing my talent!

Even if I were to film in America, I might one day be able to break into Hollywood like Tsui Hark, Wu Baige, and others!

"Keep up the good work, I believe in you!"

That won't do. If you don't disappoint me, aren't you just disappointing me?

Fatty Wang's eyes narrowed into slits.

Forget his ex-girlfriend, he'd even be willing to give his wife away now!

He immediately decided to serve as the producer of "Chinese Hero" and work together to complete this epic production!

At most, I'll film movies for the Xiang family first, and postpone projects for my own company.

Anyway, he had previously tried filming two movies at the same time, "City Hunter" and "Royal Tramp 2".

It's nothing!

Previously, "The Storm Riders" dominated the scene, and now Liu Weiqiang and others' adaptation of "Chinese Hero" has already attracted much attention.

Countless fans are eagerly anticipating it.

When they heard that Tang Jinshan was going to invest 40 million yuan in the filming, everyone was stunned!

The fans were absolutely ecstatic!

Zou Wenhuai and Yang Shou were discussing the "Gen-X Cops" project when they received the news and were a bit stunned.

I never expected that Tang Jinshan would create such a huge commotion after taking over the project.

This kid is really stupid and rich!

However, he was happy to see this situation.

Anyway, he only takes a cut of the box office revenue.

The better the quality of the film, the more it can attract audiences to his cinema.

He, on the other hand, didn't have to put in any effort at all, just sitting at home and reaping the benefits.

"This rich kid is really quite willful."

Yang Shou felt even more heartbroken.

Is Tang Jinshan throwing away real gold and silver like paper money?

They're so quick to invest in other people's businesses, but they're incredibly stingy with their own.

This discrimination is outrageous!

No, we need to speed up the process of winning him over.

If all else fails...

The news was brought by Huo Wenxi, who was also astonished by Tang Jinshan's extravagant spending.

They previously said they would invest 100 million yuan in mainland China, but that felt too far-fetched to be real.

However, she had been following "Chinese Hero" and had been in contact with Tang Jinshan. This personal experience was much more impactful!

However, isn't an investment of 40 million too high?

How much money do I need to break even?

Or is he truly only interested in supporting Chinese-language films and doesn't care about box office gains or losses?

This may be a boon for Hong Kong.

Lately, people have been saying that Hong Kong films are dead, and many people hold a pessimistic view.

Although the boss has ventured into the entertainment industry, he is developing it in all aspects, including film and music.

"I heard that Zheng Yijian was chosen before, but Tang Jinshan rejected him?"

Yang Shou looked at Zou Wenhuai.

"Yes, he wanted to use Sun Yaowei, who was banned, and he also replaced Huang Gou. He said he loved Guo, such youthful ambition!"

Zou Wenhuai smiled noncommittally.

"Well, he wasn't entirely wrong. He gave 200 million to the mainland, and the authorities even praised him. I heard he has some conflicts with Deng Guangrong? I guess it's for an extra layer of protection!"

Yang Shou smiled.

In fact, he agreed with Tang Jinshan's approach.

Times have changed.

He himself was inclined to align himself with the mainland.

Tang Jinshan's ambitions are simply too grand!

"The conflict is quite significant. Didn't Tang Jinshan donate ten million to the police force before? He even took a photo with the top cop. The authorities have already made it clear that if Deng Guangrong dares to cause trouble, he will be unable to return to Hong Kong like Daju."

Zou Wenhuai was very well-informed about this matter.

Once the conversation started, the two began chatting casually.

……

The casting for "Chinese Hero" was quickly restarted.

The replacement of Zheng Yijian, who was originally selected, surprised everyone once again.

Many fans of Fengyun also expressed their dissatisfaction.

Fans of the manga "Chinese Hero" also expressed their support.

However, many people are hoping for a new candidate.

I wonder who Tang Jinshan will choose this time?
