The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang

"Want to hold a film award belonging to Xiangjiang?"

In the Tseung Kwan O studio, in the main building of the black and white video, Fang Jianhui looked at Chu Huan sitting on the sofa in surprise, and then Fang Jianhui understood that Chu Huan knew what happened to Miao Kexiu at the Golden Donkey Awards.

His own woman was bullied at the Golden Donkey Awards, and then Chu Huan created a Xiangjiang Golden Statue Award to fight against the Golden Donkey Awards, which is very in line with Chu Huan's work style.

"It's no problem to run a film award that belongs to Xiangjiang. Just tell Shaw Brothers that the award can basically be established, but the most important thing is how to increase the influence of this award outside Xiangjiang!"

Fang Jianhui naturally understood Chu Huan's thoughts, and naturally began to think about how to increase the influence of this award.

Fang Jianhui is not worried about the influence of this award in Xiangjiang.

The current structure of the Hong Kong film industry is that black and white images are the king of the Hong Kong film industry, and Shaw Brothers can barely be regarded as the little king. As for other film companies, they can't even be counted as four or two.

Coupled with the black-and-white media behind the black-and-white images, TVB, newspapers, and magazines will jointly promote this film award, which will instantly become the most influential film award in Xiangjiang.

However, Fang Jianhui knew Chu Huan well. Since Chu Huan wanted to suppress Taiwan's Golden Donkey Award, the influence of the Hong Kong Film Awards must at least be transmitted to Taiwan.

But it is very difficult to break the influence of the Golden Donkey Award in Taiwan.

Because the current Taiwan Golden Donkey Awards are film awards under the official background.

In 1957, when Taiwanese films were booming, the Credit Information Service held the first "Exhibition of Taiwanese Films and Films", referred to as the Taiwanese Film Festival. The awards ceremony was held on November 30 at the Taipei International School. The president of Xin News Agency presided over the competition. At that time, 32 films participated in the competition. The film festival followed the model of the North American Academy Awards, and the award presenters handed over the awards to the recipients.

The award categories can be divided into: 11 "Golden Donkey Awards" selected by professional judges, 10 "Silver Star Awards" voted by the audience, and 1 "Honor Award" and 10 "Audience Voted Excellence Awards". This is the first time the name of the "Golden Donkey Award" has been used on a formal occasion, but the Taiwanese film festival was closed after only one session.

In 1962, in order to promote the development of Taiwan's film industry and encourage excellent Mandarin films and outstanding film workers, the Taiwan authorities organized the Golden Donkey Award by the Information Bureau.

After 1968 (the fifth edition), the Golden Donkey Award was once sponsored by the Cultural Bureau of the Ministry of Education of Taiwan Island. In 1984, it was again sponsored by the Information Bureau and co-organized by non-governmental film groups in turn. Until 1990 (the twenty-seventh session), in order to comply with the government's policy of "privatizing public enterprises", the Information Bureau announced the decision to hand over all the Golden Donkey Awards, Golden Bell Awards, and Golden Melody Awards from the government to non-government organizations.

That's why it is said that the Golden Donkey Award is now an award with government background.

Chu Huan is now holding film awards in Xiangjiang, which is obviously against Taiwan’s Golden Donkey Award, so don’t say that he wants to let Xiangjiang’s film awards enter Taiwan, increase his influence, and even cause the Taiwan authorities to criticize black and white. Suppression of video movies!

After listening to Fang Jianhui's worries, Chu Huan sat on the sofa and didn't seem to care.

"Fighting against HSBC during this period of time made me understand a truth!"

Fang Jianhui naturally knew that Chu Huan must have some conflicts with HSBC because of the matter of the richest man in Xiangjiang. Now that Chu Huan said it himself, Fang Jianhui asked curiously.

"What's the point?"

Chu Huan adjusted his sitting posture, and then said awe-inspiringly: "That is to give in blindly. It will not let the other party let you go, but will make the other party feel that you are easy to bully. You can only show your strength at the right time." Muscle, so that the other party can understand that we are not easy to bully!"

Fang Jianhui thought for a while, and said: "I understand the truth, it's just Brother Huan, now Xiangjiang's movie box office profits in Taiwan account for more than half, if our company is really targeted by the Taiwan authorities, then our company's At least one-third of the profit must be subtracted!"

Chu Huan said relaxedly: "Now Shanhai Cinemas owns two-thirds of the theaters in Xiangjiang, and is the well-deserved No. 1 theater company in Xiangjiang. If any film wants to enter the film market of Xiangjiang, it must cooperate with us." .

Black and white images need the profits of Taiwan Island, but the films produced by the film companies of Taiwan Island also need the market of Xiangjiang.

And don't forget, now we and Shaw Brothers have almost monopolized the distribution channels of all films in Southeast Asian countries except their own films.

If the Taiwan Island authorities really want to fight us to the death, then the film companies on Taiwan Island can fall out with them! "

Shanhai Cinemas has never stopped its own development, especially after the acquisition of Golden Harvest by Black and White Film, it has almost become the absolute leader of the Xiangjiang film industry.

And those independent theaters suffered.

Zhou Zhibin, the general manager of Shanhai Cinemas, was naturally more domineering when he bought these independent cinemas.

Under normal circumstances, it is just a sentence: "You choose whether you live or die. If you live, sell the theater to Shanhai Cinema, and Shanhai Cinema will give you a fair price. Use the money to do other businesses. If you die, From now on, the films of any film company in Hong Kong will be banned from being shown in your theaters."

In such a situation, which is almost stealthy, those independent theaters have no other choice.

Now there are only four theater companies left in Xiangjiang, Shanhai Cinema, Shuangnan Cinema, Shaw Brothers Cinema, and Anle Cinema!

Because of the background of the national name, the Shuangnan Cinema Line is basically independent of each other. The Shaw Brothers Cinema Line cooperates with the Shaw Brothers to form a country of its own. Only two theaters of the Anle Cinema Line show western movies.

In addition, Xiangjiang no longer has so-called independent theaters.

It can be said that at this time, Shanhai Cinemas has firmly grasped the lifeline of the Xiangjiang film industry.

The Xiangjiang film industry has almost become Chu Huan's private land. Any foreign film that wants to enter the Xiangjiang film market must cooperate with Shanhai Cinemas.

Like the textile industry, today's black and white images have monopolized the entire Xiangjiang film industry.

This is why Chu Huan has the confidence to hold a Xiangjiang film award to compete with Taiwan's Golden Donkey Award.

It is true that the Taiwan Island market is the largest film market in the Xiangjiang film industry, but Xiangjiang is also the largest film market in the Taiwan Island film industry. In addition, black and white images also almost monopolize the distribution channels in Southeast Asia. To be released in various parts of Southeast Asia, it is also necessary to go through this channel.

So unless you don't think about it, the Taiwan and island authorities will not really fall out with the black and white images.

After all, there are many film companies on Taiwan Island that also have government backgrounds, and the Bureau of Information may not be happy if they make trouble.

After Fang Jianhui finished hearing Chu Huan's speech, he immediately showed a happy smile: "If this is the case, then it will be much easier."

Chu Huan said: "You organize a professional group to discuss this matter. I hope to see the film awards belonging to Xiangjiang next year."

Now Chu Huan no longer needs to be responsible for specific matters. As long as he puts forward his plan, the following people will naturally complete the plan!

Sure enough, after listening to Fang Jianhui, he didn't have any comments, and said: "Brother Huan, don't worry, there must be no problem on my side!"

Chu Huan nodded slightly, and then asked Fang Jianhui another question, "I heard that some film critics are criticizing films with black and white images recently?"

Fang Jianhui nodded, and said with some self-blame: "Brother Huan, this incident is my fault. I saw that Director Li's Fengyue films are very popular, so in the past six months, the company has concentrated on shooting some Fengyue films. , and it is precisely for this reason that those film critics seized the opportunity to criticize us!"

Chu Huan saw Fang Jianhui admitting his mistake, so he asked with a smile, "Then what do you think?"

Fang Jianhui said earnestly: "I have already thought about it. For the sake of the company's image, I will reduce the shooting of some romantic films in the future."

Chu Huan continued to ask noncommittally: "Is the profit of Fengyue Films high?"

When Fang Jianhui heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "Of course it is high. This type of film has less investment and has a fixed audience. Now there is a video tape market, which has created a small sales myth. In the past six months alone, Fengyue Films has brought nearly 50 million Hong Kong dollars in revenue to the company!"

Hearing Fang Jianhui's data, he knew that "Fortune" still had some problems in terms of statistics. According to Fortune's statistics, black and white media with black and white images as the axis will bring Chu Huan an annual income of 300 million Hong Kong dollars. The data is somewhat scarce because Fortune ignores the burgeoning videotape market!

As the base camp of Kyushu, Xiangjiang has naturally started selling Kyushu Electronics products early on. Although the sales volume cannot be compared with Japan, Europe, America and other places, at least it has opened up a market.

Fengyue Film's video tape profits are higher than movie box office profits, and sales profits are higher than rental profits.

As for why?

This type of movie, everyone still likes to stay at home, whether watching it with the fifth girl or with your girlfriend, it can bring a different flavor.

Prior to this, Xiangjiang had a dedicated theater to show this type of movie, but in a place with so many people, some people couldn't let go of their hands and feet to do something that didn't fit the atmosphere of the scene.

But there are always some small hotels next to this kind of cinema

After hearing this, Chu Huan chuckled, and said to Fang Jianhui: "So you mean, say a few words for those irrelevant people, and then come to sacrifice the company's profits?"

Fang Jianhui was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Chu Huan to have such an idea.

But then Fang Jianhui said excitedly: "Aren't I worried that these reputations will have some bad influence on the company and Brother Huan?"

Chu Huan said disdainfully: "Fart, believe it or not, I just need to announce to the outside world, whoever says in the newspaper that black and white images are good, will immediately invest in him to make a movie, and those film critics will be able to line up and run to the public." I'm going to call Dad!"

Fang Jianhui couldn't help laughing when he thought of that scene, and said: "Since this is the case, then I will ignore them!"

Chu Huan was still a little dissatisfied, "After they finished scolding us, they were happy and gained a reputation, and then you, the one who was scolded, happily pretended that nothing happened.

Fang Jianhui, you can do it, why didn't I realize that you still have the potential to be a small subject? "

Fang Jianhui's face darkened, and Chu Huan's poisonous tongue, which he had not seen for a long time, made him feel like a coward again!

"Although I know what you said is a bit unreasonable, but I have no way to refute it, so I decided to take action against those people!"

Only then did Chu Huan show a satisfied smile: "Is that right? As the general manager of Xiangjiang's largest film company, if you don't even have this bit of arrogance, then I think you'd better not be the general manager of Black and White Media. "

The establishment of Black and White Media is basically coming to an end, and Fang Jianhui has naturally become the general manager of Black and White Media and concurrently the general manager of Black and White Video.

According to Fang Jianhui's opinion, now that everyone is a group company, they want to move the headquarters of Black and White Media to the Tseung Kwan O studio.

However, when Fang Jianhui told Chu Huan about this, he was rejected by Chu Huan. The Chinese Bank will be completed in a year and a half. At that time, all the companies under Chu Huan's name will move their headquarters to Huarenhang.

So when the time comes, Black and White Media will also move to Chinatown. Since this is the case, it will not be worthwhile to toss this time now.

Fang Jianhui seriously talked to Chu Huan: "Brother Huan, I have a small plan in mind now, but I need to borrow a few cartoonists from Fantasy Comic Club!"

Chu Huan glanced at Fang Jianhui, and said, "Do you know how valuable my cartoonists are? Ask them to help you? It's impossible to be a cartoonist, and there will be no problem with cartoon apprentices then!"

With the publication of "Kunlun Comics" and "Jianghu Comics", the number of painters in Fantasy Comic Club has tripled again. Not only that, for future development, Fantasy Comics Club has also established an apprenticeship system under Kamakura Yasuo's suggestion .

That is, to recruit some young painters into the company to be responsible for the official painters, this kind of manga artist apprentices are mostly young people in Xiangjiang!

In the future, there will definitely be more than these three comics under the name of Fantasy Comic Club.

Fang Jianhui said indifferently: "No problem, anyway, just draw a few four-frame cartoons, it's not a big problem!"

Seeing Fang Jianhui's cheap look, Chu Huan guessed that he wanted to steal his teacher, but Chu Huan didn't care, since he was the general manager of his company, and he was stealing his teacher for the good of the company!

Li Peter, 45 years old, used to be an assistant director of Shaw Brothers. After participating in the shooting of several films, he won the opportunity to direct a film independently.

As a result, Li Peter made a mistake that many new directors often make. He wanted to cater to the market, but at the same time he wanted to add some of his own private goods to the audience in the movie.

As a result, a film with four different characteristics was produced, that is to say, a film that was commercial but not commercial, literary and artistic but not literary.

The box office of such a movie can be imagined. The grandson of Pujie knocked on the door of Grandma's room, and Pujie came home!

The angry Shao Yifu yelled at Peter Li in public, and since then he has never had the chance to direct Peter Li again.

Li Peter, who had no job opportunities, could only move to other film companies after leaving Shaw Brothers, hoping to seek opportunities to direct films.

However, everyone knows about Li Peter, so no film company is willing to use him.

There is no way, in order to eat, Li Peter can only start writing movie columns for newspapers, evaluating some currently released movies, to earn his own living expenses.

Because Li Peter was kicked out of the film industry, so even in middle age, Li Peter is still very angry, so when he reviews movies, he has always been known for his vicious words. Spray all over the body!

Li Peter, who wrote the manuscript all night, put down the cigarette in his hand, wrote the last sentence, and finally finished what he thought.

Picking up the paper in front of him, Li Peter showed a satisfied smile on his face.

This is another article criticizing the rampant romance in today's film industry.

In Li Peter's view, this kind of film is useless except for the costumes and the camera lens. Isn't it just relying on some revealing scenes to attract the audience into the cinema?

The world is going downhill, people's hearts are not old!

Thinking of sending this manuscript to the newspaper office for a while, I can earn another manuscript fee.

Thinking of this, Li Peter turned around and saw the woman lying on his bed naked.

Li Peter went to bed without saying a word, which woke up the woman and caused some dissatisfaction, but soon this dissatisfaction turned into the sound of creaking bed boards rubbing against the floor.

A few minutes later, the woman got dressed, took out 300 Hong Kong dollars from Li Peter's wallet on the table, put it on her mouth and kissed it, and then said: "Thank you boss, remember to come to me next time!"

After finishing speaking, the woman left Li Peter's residence stepping on her high-heeled shoes.

Li Peter smoked a cigarette afterwards and was about to go to bed. He was so dazed that he didn't know how long he had slept, when he suddenly heard the phone beside the bed ring.

Peter Li has already woken up in a hurry, picked up the phone excitedly, and then said loudly: "I'm ready, I can shoot new movies at any time, romantic movies are also available!"

As a result, a teasing voice came from the other side, "Peter, are you crazy for wanting to make a movie? My old Li, I'm looking for you for afternoon tea!"

Lao Li is actually not very old, not even as old as Li Peter, and he is only in his 30s this year, but no matter whether it is others or himself, he is willing to call Lao Li. As for why, there is no way to verify.

Not only is Lao Li not as old as Li Peter, but also his working experience is not as good as Li Peter. He belongs to the kind who always wanted to enter the film industry as a director, but never got the chance. Later, he was forced by life to write in the newspaper. Movie column!

Li Peter looked at the clock on the wall, it was past 11 o'clock, and after cursing "Fuck", he asked, "Are you treating me?"

Lao Li chuckled and said, "I'm treating you, you pay for it!"

"Fuck!" Li Peter cursed again, and then said, "Why?"

"Don't forget you still owe me 200 yuan!"

"Understood, wait for me at Sister Hua's tea restaurant, go there now!"

"Where are you going again, Sister Hua? She's over 40!"

"Hmph, what do you know, the older you get, the stronger the smell!"

"Well, it's you who pays anyway, I don't care where you go."

Half an hour later, Li Peter appeared in Sister Hua's tea restaurant, dressed sloppily and rubbing his eyes. When he saw Sister Hua sitting at the cashier at the bar and wearing a tight-fitting T-shirt with a deep round neck, he immediately regained his spirits.

"Sister Hua, you're still so pretty!"

"It's the same sentence every day. It's not annoying for you to say it, but it's annoying for me to hear it!"

"After I become a director, I will definitely let you, Sister Hua, be the number one female."

"Fart your mother, you used this reason to trick my mother into sleeping with you, and now you still use this bullshit reason?"

"you do not believe me?"

"Do not believe!"

Li Peter shook his head and said that Sister Hua had no eyesight, so he went straight in and saw Lao Li who had already arrived here.

"Just like you, you died before you made your second movie!" Lao Li joked aloud seeing Li Peter's unrepentant look.

"Fuck!" Li Peter cursed angrily, and said, "Fart, if Shao Lao Liu didn't understand how to appreciate it, and didn't take my movie to participate in the Golden Donkey Award, I would be the best director of the Golden Donkey Award now !"

After the two murmured to each other, Sister Hua threw the lunch directly on the table, and the splashed soup spilled on the table, but the two didn't care.

While eating lunch, he continued to complain.

"By the way, didn't you say that you wrote a movie script that is sure to be a sensation in Xiangjiang, and you want to hand it a black and white video? How is it now?"

Li Peter asked Lao Li after taking a sip of silk stocking milk tea.

Lao Li's expression was the same as when Li Peter complained about Shao Yifu just now, and he said: "Don't mention it, black and white images can't see gold and jade, and they returned my movie script. I think they must be trying to plagiarize me. idea."

Li Peter showed a heartbroken expression, and said: "The current Xiangjiang film market will sooner or later bring down film companies such as Shaw Brothers and Black and White Video, look at what they shoot?

It's not all kinds of romantic movies, or Kung Fu movies that promote violence. They don't have any artistic pursuit at all, and they simply tarnish the art of movies! "

Lao Li said with deep empathy: "That's right, the current Hong Kong audience is also like this. It is because of these garbage audiences that there are these garbage film companies and garbage movies."

The two touched the teacups in their hands in a heroic way.

"The future of Xiangjiang Film still depends on us!"

After the two had had a great time, Li Peter took out the film review he wrote yesterday in his bag, and handed it to Lao Li to preach.

"This is what I thought of when I was riding the horse last night. It contains my worries about the current Hong Kong film industry and plans for future development. Please help me see!"

After Lao Li took it, after reading it once, he slapped the table excitedly, not paying any attention to the dissatisfied eyes of the diners around him, and preached loudly.

"It's deafening, it's deafening. As long as such an article is published in the newspaper, I believe it will immediately attract the attention of Xiangjiang movie fans, as well as the attention of the bosses of major film companies. By then, Peter, you will be the second Chang Cheh!"

These film critics also have idols, and their idol is Zhang Cheh. From a film critic to Xiangjiang's million-dollar box office director, every film critic hopes that he can become the second Zhang Cheh.

It's the same as every horizontal drifter and northern drifter in the later generations hopes to become the second Wang Baoqiang.

But how many years have passed, and there is still only one Zhang Che in the Xiangjiang film critic circle, and the same is true for later generations. More than ten years have passed, and among hundreds of thousands of ensemble performances, there is only one Wang Baoqiang!

Peter Li pretended to be reserved and said: "I also want to understand this time. If I want to have the right to speak in the film industry, I still have to follow the trend. It’s time to make art films that we ourselves want to make that truly represent our individual thoughts!”

Lao Li nodded and said, "We are also contributing to Xiangjiang's film industry, so we bear the humiliation so hard."

"Yes!" Li Peter nodded.

The two clinked glasses again.

But this time, neither of them drank, but looked at the door of the tea restaurant in unison.

Under the warm sun, a girl with neat long hair in a white shirt, jeans, black and white sneakers walked past the door of the tea restaurant.

Li Peter and Lao Li put down the teacups in their hands almost at the same time, then got up and walked out of the tea restaurant at the same time, and came to the girl's side.

Seeing the two of them, the girl shrank slightly nervously, and said in not-so-fluent Cantonese: "What are you doing?"

Li Peter thought he had a kind smile on his face, and said: "Pretty girl, don't be nervous, I'm the film director Li Peter, I just saw you pass the role that is very suitable for the lead actress in my new movie, so I want to ask if you would like to shoot Movie?"

Maybe Li Peter's smile is too deceptive, or Li Peter took out the business card after introducing himself too much. Of course, the girl also wants to find a job as soon as possible, so the girl trusts Li Peter words.

"Director Li, hello!"

Lao Li on the side regretted that he had spoken slowly just now, and at the same time, he also looked down on Peter Li, who still has the director's business card!

"Hello, hello!" Li Peter said with a smile like a flower but ugly: "Beautiful girl, I really think you are very suitable for an elegant temperament like a chrysanthemum, and the personality of the heroine of my movie is like this. If you have nothing else to do, how about we find a place to have a good chat?"

The girl thought for a while, finally nodded, and said, "Yes, but it has to be in a crowded place!"

Li Peter immediately said: "It's natural, there is a coffee shop not far in front, why don't we talk there?"

The girl let go of her guard and said, "Okay."

The three of them were going to the coffee shop together, when Sister Hua, who was standing at the bar, coughed.

Li Peter immediately understood and said to Lao Li: "Lao Li, you go and settle the bill first, and then come to the coffee shop in front to find us!"

Old Li: "."

After arriving at the coffee shop, Li Peter couldn't wait to ask the girl: "Beautiful girl, I don't know your name yet!"

The girl smiled politely: "My name is Wu Shuhan!"
