    "Golden Princess Group is about to change owners!" ? This news was suddenly exposed by the "Oriental Daily" when the market was abuzz with the sharp rise and fall of Golden Princess's stock price. Later, because it involved New Arts City, the former Hong Kong film industry  Hong Kong legends such as the overlords, real estate prodigy Luo Siu-fai and financial tycoon Liu Luanxiong, the news about the change of ownership of the Golden Princess Group quickly caused a huge sensation in Hong Kong.  " Lei Qizheng ruthlessly abandoned Princess Jin and wanted to make hundreds of millions of money and run away!" "Shuangluo duel, real estate prodigy and Macau wealthy businessman both fell in love with Princess Jin. Luo Siu-fai said in an interview with the media that he is optimistic about the future of the Hong Kong film industry!"  "Lin Xiaozhi's prediction has brought a huge shock to the industry. The investment community has begun to favor Hong Kong films. The listed film company Golden Princess has fallen. Golden Harvest may become a new prey in the eyes of the powerful!"  Maybe he has made a statement! " "Roger admitted that he knows more about movies than his opponents, and promised to spend huge sums of money to film blockbusters and update his theaters if he wins Princess Jin!" "Financial tycoon Liu Luanxiong invested 1 billion to help Luo Zhaohui fight for Princess Jin.  He said that he is pursuing "Thirteenth Aunt" and may spend a lot of money to recruit Guan Zhilin for filming in the future! "Huang Baiming accepted an interview with the media to support Luo Jiecheng, saying that 'real estate and movies are completely different industries', and he was suspected of being at odds with Luo Zhaohui!"  , Lin Xiaozhi and his Media Asia, the news that "League of Assassins" has once again swept away nearly 3 billion Hong Kong dollars in global box office, has become a crowd-pleaser in Hong Kong with the broadcast of this year's Hong Kong Film Awards.  A well-known topic.  Coupled with his unique acceptance speech when he won the second 'Best Director' award, his bold statement that the Hong Kong film industry was bravely moving towards a scale of 100 billion caused a lot of criticism, but as the  There are more and more discussions in the media, and more and more people in the business, especially the financial and investment circles, have developed a strong interest in the film industry.  ¡°Among them is the ¡®real estate prodigy¡¯ Luo Siu Fai, a billionaire who had an unhappy relationship with Lin Xiaozhi in the past.  Luo Zhaohui comes from a humble background, but he is courageous and courageous. Although he has not received any higher education, he started working hard when he was young. In his twenties, he has become famous in Hong Kong. Now he has earned nearly 2 billion yuan at the age of 30.  His worth has been praised by the Hong Kong media, and several real estate media even dubbed him the 'Lam Hsiao-chi of the real estate industry'.  "However, this "title" may be a praise to others, but Luo Zhaohui is only unhappy.  It is true that he came from a humble background, but he became one of the super rich in Hong Kong at a young age. He is superior to others in both mind and arrogance. In the past, when Lin Xiaozhi was not yet prosperous, he had never seen that wealthy playboy who was ignorant and unskilled, so in recent years  No matter how outstanding he has been over the years, he still looks down upon him in his heart, let alone being surpassed by someone he looked down upon and then being praised by the media in his name!  But it¡¯s not good to be unhappy. In the past few years, Luo Zhaohui has been surrounded by many second- and third-tier actresses in the entertainment industry. The more exposure he has, the more naturally he can¡¯t help but pay attention to them. ???????????? If someone like Lin Xiaozhi didn¡¯t appear a few years ago, then in his opinion, the entertainment industry is just a place that produces beauties. With his fun-loving temperament, there are always many women like that around him at parties.  But since the wealthy Shaolin Xiaozhi, whom he looked down on before, moved to the entertainment industry and transformed, in just a few years, he not only became a man of the hour in Hong Kong, but also surpassed him in terms of net worth, financial resources, and popularity.  This made Luo Siu-fai a little bit interested, and he couldn't help but become interested in the entertainment industry, especially Hong Kong movies.  Luo Zhaohui is such a high-profile person. Once he becomes interested in making movies, his mouth alone cannot keep the news from leaking out.  Speaking of contacting Luo Zhaohui, Mecca was not the first one. In fact, Lei Qizheng had already met him before him.  After all, Hong Kong is not a big circle. Although the Lei family relied on the Kowloon Bus in their early years, since Lei Qizheng began to intervene in the Lei family's management, they have gradually shifted their business focus to real estate. The two have had some interactions in recent years.  It is very difficult for Luo Zhaohui to take over Princess Jin with his strength, but he is not alone. After meeting financial tycoon Liu Luanxiong a few years ago, the two quickly came together because of the same hobbies. In the past few years, they have not only  They have cooperated many times in the investment field and even jointly purchased several properties.  In addition, Luo Zhaohui himself has revealed his interest in making movies to the media. It is not difficult to explain why both Makka and Lei Qizheng wanted him to take over Princess Jin. They were actually attracted by Liu Luanxiong's strong financial resources.  However, when it comes to selecting the successor to Pan Xia, Huang Baiming really does not want Luo Liu to take over. Instead, he hopes that his old friend Luo Jie Cheng can take over the Golden Princess.    As a wealthy businessman in Macau, Luo Luo Cheng's financial resources may be much lower than those of Liu Luanxiong and Luo Siu Fai, but he has a very good personal relationship with Huang Baiming and has always been interested in making movies.  A few years ago, when the three giants of New Art City were at odds, he had poached Huang Baiming and wanted to invest in him to establish a new film company. He also promised to build a separate theater chain for him. You need to know whether a film company in Hong Kong has its own  Exclusive cinema lines are completely two concepts, and the latter is the standard for measuring a giant.  And the reason why Huang Baiming hopes that Roger will become Princess Jin has another small motive, that is, he wants to bring him and Chen Jialing together.  Karen Chan is one of the members of the Happy Girls group. She was discovered and debuted by Huang Baiming. Unfortunately, she has not been popular since she became famous after starring in the "Happy Ghost" series. Her career has gone downhill in the past two years.  Fortunately, at a previous party, Luo Jie Cheng met Chen Jialing and fell in love at first sight, launching a fierce pursuit of her.  Huang Baiming took great care of the girls in the Happy Girls group he had discovered. He also knew that marrying into a wealthy family would be a good thing for them who had no hope of career and were about to lose their youth, so he was willing to match them up.  As a result, two successors, Luo Zhaohui and Luo Jiecheng, who were interested in Princess Jin, appeared at the same time. Moreover, both parties were determined to win Princess Jin. This made Lei Qizheng, the man who was ready to dump the person, run away, but  This is definitely not a good thing for Princess Jin!  "In order to acquire Princess Jin, Luo Jie Cheng prepared 900 million in funds and transferred another 400 to 500 million from familiar Australian businessmen. After several months of slow absorption, he successively acquired about 35% of Princess Jin's shares.  However, 'real estate prodigy' Luo Zhaohui teamed up with 'financial tycoon' Liu Luanxiong. Together, the two of them took over 41.7% of Golden Princess's shares. Even without the support of Mecca, they have formed a controlling stake in Golden Princess, and now basically  It can be concluded that Luo Zhaohui¡¯s takeover of Golden Princess is a foregone conclusion! The reason for the sudden surge in one-day trading is that some major shareholders sold at high prices. We suspect that the person who left may be Huang Baiming. Of course, we cannot rule out that Luo Jiecheng acted in anger  " Chen Qiang came to Lin Xiaozhi's office with a copy of the latest news just sent from below.  "Princess Jin finally changed her employer!" Lin Xiaozhi smiled slightly, feeling a little emotional.  Kowloon tycoon Lei Kuk-kun is still in the hospital. He has never been able to come out since he suddenly fainted and was sent to the hospital for recuperation a few years ago.  After waking up from a coma, he first lost the ability to walk in the past few years, and then gradually lost the ability to eat, drink and relieve himself. If the Lei family were not worth billions, there were many expensive supplements to support him.  Life, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago.  Even so, judging from the news reported by the media from time to time, he may not have a few days to live.  No, he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and fell into a coma just after the Chinese New Year this year, and he has not been able to wake up until now.  I heard that the hospital has issued a critical illness notice to the Lei family. This tycoon Lei, who has been in Hong Kong for half a century, may not even be able to survive the first half of this year.  But if he were still here, it would not be his eldest son Lei Qizheng¡¯s turn to sell Princess Jin. Tycoon Lei had personally admitted a few years ago that Princess Jin¡¯s status in his mind was far more important than that of the more profitable Kowloon Bus.  After sighing with emotion, Lin Xiaozhi immediately straightened his face and asked: "Luo and Liu joined forces with Mai to join Princess Jin. Huang Baiming is afraid that he is really going to leave. Although Lei Qizheng had eased the conflict between him and Mai Jia before, the new  The disagreements between the three giants in Yicheng over the past few years have left too many conflicts. Especially, he and Huang Baiming are both great talents in management and operation, but there is only one company. The dispute of priority has arisen before. If it were not for the listing of Lei Qi  I¡¯m trying to suppress it, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s already broken out!¡± In Hong Kong¡¯s well-known film company, Princess Jin is the only one who has had a management power struggle.  Shao Yifu¡¯s Shaw Brothers Film Company never had any trouble because the boss, Shao Yifu, was too powerful.  Yongsheng and Media Asia are the same. They both have strong bosses and then hire professional managers to manage the company.  Although Jiahe is not like this, there is a clear division of labor. During the decades of friendship between Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang, the two have a tacit understanding every time.  So much so that when He Guanchang wanted to retire due to his health in recent years, he selected Sammo Hung to take over for Chow Wenhuai, allowing him to continue to cooperate with Chow Wenhuai in managing Golden Harvest.  There is only Princess Jin's family. Because of the seeds of discord planted during the Lei Juekun era, first the three giants of New Art City were at odds. Then, after his son Lei Qizheng reconciled, Huang Baiming became the president of New Art City, and Mecca suppressed  Half of the time, he became the president of Princess Jin. However, this bald man always liked to point fingers at the management of Xinyi City. It was difficult for the two of them not to cause trouble.  Chen Qiang nodded and was about to speak when he heard Lin Xiaozhi say again: "Huang Baiming probably hasn't decided on his next job yet. Looking at the Hong Kong film industry, he is also a first-class management wizard. Mr. Chen, please take some time."  Meet him, if he is willing to join us.Ya, I at least give him the position of president!  " As soon as he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong. When he looked up at Chen Qiang's face, he found that he had changed slightly. To prevent this subordinate who had been with him for many years from overthinking, he had to add another sentence: "You will be with me in two days.  I set off to London to sign a contract with PolyGram. UCT Cinemas needed a new president!  " The implication is that even if Huang Baiming joins Media Asia, it will not affect his position as president. Lin Xiaozhi is planning to let him go to London to manage UCT Cinemas. " Chen Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, and there was joy in his eyes again.  In addition to the fact that Lin Xiaozhi was personally in charge of the negotiations with PolyGram at the beginning, he was also in charge of the negotiations afterwards. It took a while for the two companies. In the end, this record giant, which has seen a serious decline in profits in recent years, failed to resist the temptation of Media Asia.  Five days ago, they reached a final consensus with Chen Qiang. PolyGram is willing to sell its UCT cinema chain, which owns a quarter of the UK's screens, to Media Asia Pictures for a sky-high price of 325.7 billion pounds (approximately equivalent to 3.81 billion Hong Kong dollars).  It took too long and there were many complications. Lin Xiaozhi planned to leave for London in a few days to sign the contract, and then fly to Egypt to continue filming. His willingness to take Chen Qiang to sign the contract also showed his affirmation of his work.  At least in future media reports, when mentioning this Hong Kong's largest overseas acquisition in recent years, it will never be possible to mention his contribution. For professional managers like Chen Qiang, this is undoubtedly a golden opportunity that is rare to find in a thousand years.  Huang Baiming, Lin Xiaozhi admitted that he really admired this former one of the three giants of Xinyi City, but he also knew that Huang Baiming's talent was more suitable for making movies, and asking him to manage a theater chain was a bit of a misapplication of talents at UCT.  The future president of the company is very important. In fact, he already has two more suitable candidates in his mind. No matter who agrees to join in the end, it will be profitable for Media Asia, because the change of ownership of Princess Jin did not last long.  The strength gap between the two sides is not small. The protracted tug-of-war expected by the media did not appear on Princess Jin. Soon after, Lei Qizheng, chairman of the board of directors of Princess Jin, accepted an interview with the media with a smile on his face, revealing that he had already acquired the last 7% of his name.  The sale of his shares to Luo Liu announced the end of the lively acquisition battle. "Lei Qizheng sold Luo Zhaohui, jokingly saying that he was optimistic about the talent of the 'real estate prodigy'!  " "Roger Cheng rarely showed shame to the media and yelled, 'He asked me what I was doing after he had already said it'!  " "Deeply digging into the inside story of Princess Jin's change of ownership, sources revealed that Luo Liu was invited by Mecca. Huang Baiming failed to support Luo Jie and submitted his resignation to the board of directors!  " Luo Jie refused to be interviewed again and was still embarrassed. Insiders pointed out that he had planned to acquire Princess Jin at the end of last year, but in the final bid for Lei Qizheng's shares, the price was 10% lower than the opponent's, and he missed the opportunity to take over.  !  " " Luo Zhaohui was interviewed by Yiran Victor, saying that he accepted Huang Baiming's resignation and would find a more competent new president for Xinyi City!  " "Gao Zhisen, Gu Dezhao and more than a dozen people resigned collectively. The Huang family wanted to leave all of them, which made Mecca furious, 'No one who has not expired the contract can even think of leaving'!  ¡± It is really unexpected that the changes came so quickly. Thanks to the development of Hong Kong¡¯s media industry, the Golden Princess Group has just exposed the change of shareholders. Within two days, it was confirmed that Huang Baiming submitted his resignation to the new board of directors and resigned.  Two days later, it was revealed that Huang Baiming¡¯s subordinates, including Gao Zhisen and Gu Dezhao, were going to resign collectively.  They will suddenly lose half of their directors, screenwriters, and middle- and upper-level artists, and their vitality will be severely damaged. Fortunately, many of them have not expired with Princess Jin, because Mecca has a very tough attitude to suppress most of them.  Some people resigned, but he didn't offend anyone to death. In the end, he took the decision to let go of some of the Huang family officials whose contracts had expired and were about to end, which could be regarded as a favor to his former brother Huang Baiming.  The news of the change of ownership is making a big fuss in Hong Kong. The newspapers owned by Lin Xiaozhi jointly suppressed the "Oriental Daily News", which had not been so prosperous for almost a year. Taking advantage of the victory, it soon broke out another news - Taiwanese film producers  Cai Songlin's Scholar Company invested NT$100 million (approximately more than HK$32 million) to invest in Andy Lau's Cycling Film Company and UFO Film Company, a company owned by emerging filmmakers such as Eric Tsang. Reports also stated that Scholar may be in contact with Tsui Hark Film Studio  If the two parties reach a consensus, Taiwanese film business tycoon Cai Songlin, who claims to have 7 billion in hand, may be happy to spend several times the amount of money he invested in Tianmu and UFO to invest in Tsui Hark's studio.  Although his handiwork is far less generous than Princess Jin's change of ownership, as Taiwan's largest private theater giant, once known as a film studio giant with 7 billion in investment in Hong Kong and Taiwan, his reputation in the entertainment industry is far greater than his background.  Luo Zhaohui, Luo Jiecheng and others are even higher, so?As soon as this news was revealed, it immediately caused a chain reaction like knocking over dominoes.  Soon, "Ming Pao" broke the news that the Xiang brothers had reached a consensus to invest a total of HK$500 million in two film companies, Yongsheng and China Star, for equipment updates, artist signings, training, and new film production.  China Star is a film company founded by brothers Xiang Qiang and Xiang Sheng after they had a dispute over their business philosophy last year.  Unlike Yongsheng Film Company, which used some shady tactics when it first entered the industry, and thus still carries the label of being involved in gangs, China Star has followed the rules of the industry since its establishment, whether it invests or invites stars and directors.  There are still voices criticizing it as a film company established by the Xiang family to launder funds, but it is undeniable that the industry is much more accepting of it than Yongsheng, and many artists are happy to cooperate with it.  "Next Weekly" revealed that not long after Jackie Chan was invited to attend a reception held by Macau gambling king Stanley Ho's company, all members of the family-making class, which was on the verge of disbanding due to continued production cuts last year, received a big red envelope. Jackie Chan, who is known as a big mouth,  Later, in an interview with Sing Pao, he proudly admitted that the gambling king had invested in his Weihe Film Company.  Not long after, "Oriental Daily" once again broke the news that gambling king Stanley Ho had tried to invest in Media Asia and Golden Harvest, but failed, and chose to invest 100 million in Jackie Chan's Weihe. At the same time, his most beloved daughter, Ho Chao-qiong, finally got her wish.  Di entered the entertainment industry as the investment supervisor of the He family.  It is worth mentioning that this strong woman who married Hong Kong rich second-generation Hui Jin-heng in 1991 and angrily divorced him the next year because of his chaotic private life is now openly pursuing the singing king Chen Baiqiang, although the Ho family is very opposed to this.  ¡­ At the end of March, the Hong Kong entertainment industry was in a state of chaos, filled with hot news.  While it caused many media in Hong Kong and Taiwan to run around looking for more breaking news, it also stirred up the hearts of the Hong Kong film and television industry.  Just after entering April, I thought that a light rain in late spring would extinguish the thermal air currents on Victoria Harbor. Suddenly, on top of Hong Kong's other two major newspapers, the South China Morning Post and the Hong Kong Economic News,  Two more revelations were made, "Media Asia Group and Kowloon Bank have successively exchanged more than HK$7 billion in foreign exchange to the Hong Kong Exchange Management Fund." Hong Kong was filled with speculation for a while.
