    "Boss Lin, what do you think of the future of the Hong Kong film industry?" Shao Daheng asked.  "Under normal circumstances, Xiangjiang's film industry, as Mr. Shao might have thought, would gradually begin to decline after its golden period in the 1980s. After all, Xiangjiang is only a city with a population of less than 10 million.  , its market capacity destined Hong Kong¡¯s films to be short-sighted and low-cost, small-scale productions. In the 1990s, Hollywood began to leave the film industry in other parts of the world behind due to market, capital, technology and other reasons.  , Among them, Xiangjiang Film is also one of the ones left behind. In the end, as Mr. Shao predicted, Xiangjiang Film will decline. " Hearing Lin Wei's words, Shao Daheng nodded, he did.  It was predicted like this. Now seeing Lin Wei say these words, he was even more curious: "Since Boss Lin also knows the future path of Xiangjiang Film, why does Boss Lin want to acquire Shaw Brothers Company? Although at present  , Boss Lin¡¯s acquisition of my Shaw Brothers Film Company will bring many benefits, but is the time for these benefits a bit short? I think Boss Lin is not such a short-sighted person. " "Under normal circumstances, I am indeed.  Should we acquire Shaw Brothers Pictures? Because the golden age of Hong Kong's film industry is indeed a bit short. In addition, although the mainland's economy has begun to take off, we have to wait until the mainland's film market matures, which will be around the end of the 1990s.  Things, after hard work until that time, Xiangjiang's movies have declined and lost their competitiveness. The reason why I still want to acquire Shaw Brothers Pictures even though I know this general trend is because I believe in myself and I hope  It can save and change the decline of Xiangjiang movies, and let Xiangjiang movies go to the world like Hollywood movies. "Except for Wang Jing, Shao Daheng and Fang Yihua both looked at Lin Wei in surprise.  They thought that Lin Wei's acquisition of Shaw Brothers Film Company was for reasons they had not seen. Who knew that Lin Wei's purpose was to save Xiangjiang's movies from decline, which made Shao Daheng and Fang Yihua dumbfounded. It should be said that Lin Wei  Does Wei have a great mind, or should we say that Lin Wei is stupid?  Shaw Brothers Pictures is not a company with hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.  It would cost tens of millions, just to do something that is ambitious or stupid?  Shao Daheng said kindly: "Boss Lin, the film industry in Xiangjiang cannot be saved by you alone?" "Mr. Shao, no matter whether it can be saved or not, there must be someone to try to see if it can be saved, right? I think, I  Now I have several advantages. First, I have enough funds to do this. Second, I have enough good scripts to support my idea. Third, I have the gold of Xiangjiang Film.  Ten years, in terms of time, is enough for me to cultivate a group of excellent directors, screenwriters, and actors. Fourth, if I unify the film market in Hong Kong now, I no longer have to worry about consuming my own strength internally.  The next thing is to expand outwards and firmly dominate the markets in Mainland China, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. In addition, I still have enough time to dig out enough technical talents to make Xiangjiang become the same as Hollywood.  A place with strong strength. "Lin Wei did not hide his plans for a person like Shao Daheng.  Concealing these thoughts is not a good thing. Shao Daheng and the others will see clearly what Lin Wei does in the future. If Lin Wei lies to cover it up now, it will leave a bad impression on Shao Daheng in the future.  .  If he leaves a bad impression on a real wealthy man like Shao Daheng in Xiangjiang, what kind of cooperation will Lin Wei need in the future? Will people still believe him?  After hearing Lin Wei's narration, Shao Daheng pondered for a moment. He could feel that Lin Wei was telling the truth and that this young new rich man really wanted to be the man with a great mind who could save the Hong Kong film industry.  , which made Shao Daheng couldn't help but respect Lin Wei. This young man is really not simple. He dares to do such things and has courage.  Of course, Shao Daheng didn't know that the reason why Boss Lin dared to do this was because he was a reborn person. He had hidden in his mind the world's best-selling movies in the next thirty years, and he had reached this point.  , we already have enough confidence and funds to do something great or silly like this. At worst, we can just hire some foreign actors and directors.  Shao Daheng pondered for a while, thought about it in his mind, and then said: "Boss Lin, for the sake of Shaw Brothers Pictures, I have not spent any effort on it. I said I wanted to sell it, and I was really reluctant to part with it, but Shaw Brothers Pictures  Boss Lin understands the current situation of the company and I am no longer able to manage it, so I only plan to sell you 60% of the shares. " Sixty percent?  Lin Wei frowned slightly, but he was not satisfied in his heart, because Lin Wei's ultimate goal is to unify the theater chains in Xiangjiang. If he only holds 60% of the shares of Shaw Brothers Film Company, then all the theater chains in Xiangjiang will be in the future.  To put it all together, if I can't acquire Jiahe's shares, or?If he can't get all Princess Jin's shares, he will still not be able to control this unified theater line in the end. Lin Wei doesn't want to continue to fight internally for management rights in the future.  "Mr. Shao, if this is the case, I won't be able to control all the theaters in Xiangjiang in the future." Lin Wei directly stated his purpose.  Shao Daheng squinted his eyes and laughed, and said slowly: "Boss Lin, you can rest assured that I will definitely be on your side. Moreover, I think that after you acquire Shaw Brothers Pictures, you will definitely  The film company will be split up, the theater chain will be merged into the theater chain, and the photography and production company will be merged into the Times Film Company. I will not stop this matter. " Although Wang Jing did not say anything, he was unwilling to see Shao Daheng in his heart.  Also involved in Times Film Company, because Times Film Company is very profitable now. Wang Jing would rather Lin Wei invest in diluting Times Film Company's shares than have one more director member. This would have a negative impact on the development of Times Film Company.  Due to constraints, if it were anyone else, Wang Jing would definitely stand up and speak, but facing the real bosses and seniors in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle, Wang Jing did not have the courage to stand up.  Wang Jing turned his attention to Lin Wei to see what Lin Wei said. Lin Wei pondered for a moment. He knew that the reason why Shao Daheng was reluctant to completely let go of Shaw Brothers Pictures Company was probably because he wanted to make an investment in Lin Wei.  , because Lin Wei¡¯s rise in Xiangjiang was too fast.  It quickly became a legend. Shao Daheng left 40% of the shares in his hands. The investment was neither big nor small. Shao Daheng could not afford to lose, of course, if he made money.  There may also be a surprise. Didn't you see Dingsheng Record Company and Times Film Company? These two companies have become big companies in Hong Kong, and their profitability is enviable.  "Mr. Shao, what do you think of Mr. Shao if I want to acquire some shares of TVB?" Lin Wei suddenly put aside the matter of Shaw Brothers Film Company and jumped to the matter of TVB, regarding the acquisition of the TV station.  Lin Wei had ideas earlier, but he no longer had those ideas, because Lin Wei found that he had already spread a lot of money in other industries, and most of his funds needed to be invested in more profitable industries.  It doesn¡¯t matter that there is no TV station anymore.  When Shao Daheng and Fang Yihua heard this question raised by Lin Wei, they were stunned for a moment and thought to themselves.  What's wrong with this kid?  Are you rich and have a big appetite?  This is a wireless TV station.  Shao Daheng would not sell it, because Shao Daheng had decided to invest all his energy in TVB. Seeing Shao Daheng's expressions, Lin Wei smiled and added: "I'm not talking about starting from you.  The TVB is not controlled by Shao Daheng and his family.  It is composed of many shareholders, but Shao Daheng currently holds the largest share. After hearing Lin Wei's addition, Shao Daheng asked: "Boss Lin, what do you have in mind?" "No big ideas, I need  To make some noise in TVB, we need some resources from TVB, such as actors, directors, and news promotion." Lin Wei explained his purpose.  Shao Daheng looked at Lin Wei for a while and felt that Lin Wei was telling the truth and did not want to come to TVB to compete with him for power, so he said: "If you want to make your own voice in TVB, you only need 3% of the shares.  That's enough. With these 3% shares, you are considered to be the major shareholder of TVB. As for some resources of TVB, our two families have been cooperating. Don't you, Boss Lin, use less of them now? So, Lin  Don't worry about it, boss." Lin Wei smiled and said, "I understand, Mr. Shao, so I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future." Hearing Lin Wei's words, Shao Daheng and Fang Yihua both laughed. They understood.  The meaning of Lin Wei's words is that Lin Wei will support Shao Daheng in TVB in the future, and hopes that Shao Daheng will support Lin Wei in theaters in the future. Lin Wei's acquisition of shares in TVB is another formal guarantee.  He promised that Shao Daheng would support Lin Wei in taking power after the unification of the entire Xiangjiang cinema chain. At that moment, Shao Daheng also smiled and said: "I believe the future cooperation will be pleasant. Don't worry, Boss Lin, the Xiangjiang cinema chain will be yours from now on."  Boss Lin has the final say, and I also hope that Boss Lin can give the Xiangjiang film industry a future." Wang Jing on the side saw that the two parties seemed to have agreed, and was a little speechless, knowing that this matter was a foregone conclusion, and what would happen next for both parties.  The chat was very pleasant, and they briefly talked about the merger of Shaw Brothers Pictures, Times Film Company and Golden Princess Cinema. The specific details will naturally be negotiated separately. Afterwards, Lin Wei and Wang Jing  After having a meal at Shao's house, the two of them said goodbye to Shao's house. On the way, Wang Jing also figured it out. He knew that Lin Wei wanted to unify the theater chain in Xiangjiang. This was an inevitable thing. Wang Jing  Now as a member of Lin Wei's interest group, he has to help Lin Wei complete this matter despite some losses. Anyway, heNowadays, it seems that we no longer rely on Time Film Company to make money. There are many other sources of income.  As long as you follow Lin Wei closely, you won't have to worry about making money. This is the common understanding of the members of Lin Wei's interest group. Wang Jing also actively participated in the subsequent specific negotiations, and Lin Wei later acquired  acquired 5.3% of the shares of TVB and became one of the major shareholders of TVB. After Shaw Brothers was acquired by Lin Wei, it was spun off and the film production department was merged into Times Film Company. This made Times Film  The company has one more shareholder, but Lin Wei still holds absolute equity.  As for the Shaw Brothers movie theater chain, before it was merged into the Golden Princess Cinema Line, it was in some trouble, because once it was merged into the Golden Princess Cinema Line, the former Golden Princess Chairman Lei Juekun would no longer be in power. In this regard, Lei Juekun  I am very unwilling to do so. In addition, if I want to unify the cinema lines in Hong Kong, there is another biggest trouble.  That is Golden Harvest Company. The cinema chain under the name of Golden Harvest Company is the same as the Golden Princess Cinema Chain. It is formed by a combination of multiple cinema owners. Unlike Shaw Brothers Cinema, it is formed by the Shaw family. It is for this reason that  .  Only then did Lin Wei see an opportunity to take action.  The split and reorganization of Shaw Brothers Pictures Company made Boss Zou of Golden Harvest Company a little stunned for a while. As an old rival of Golden Harvest for more than ten years, Boss Zou had always hoped that Shaw Brothers Pictures Company would be defeated by Golden Harvest. However,  Just as it was about to collapse, a vigorous and dynamic Times Film Company suddenly emerged. If Shaw Brothers Pictures is a tiger that is about to die of old age, then Times Film Company is a new tiger, and this tiger.  It is much stronger than the original Shaw Brothers Film Company.  Princess Jin's Lei Juekun also felt something bad after learning that Lin Wei had joined Shaw Brothers Pictures. You must know that Lin Wei originally occupied just as many cinemas as he did, but now he has a Shaw Brothers  With his cinema chain in hand, Lin Wei suddenly became the person with the most cinemas in his hands in Xiangjiang. Together with the Times Film Company, this Lin Wei.  Now that he has become the boss of the Hong Kong film industry, even Jiahe can't compare to Lin Wei's strength.  For a moment, Lei Juekun didn't know what to do.  Lin Wei found Lei Juekun without waiting for him to make a decision. Through negotiations, Lei Juekun finally agreed to merge Princess Jin¡¯s theater chain with the Industrial Theater Line to form a new Xiangjiang Theater Company, with Lin Wei serving as chairman.  And Lei Juekun became the manager, and Lei Juekun was responsible for the usual theater management. In general, the power in Lei Juekun's hands was not taken away, but because there were more theaters.  The power in Lei Juekun's hands is even greater, but there is an extra monitor above him.  After Lin Wei settled Lei Juekun's problem, he began to attack the movie theater owners of Jiahe Cinema Line. For businessmen, money is the most important thing. Under Lin Wei's offensive, the owners of three movie theaters took control of the movie theaters.  ¡¯s cinemas were sold to Lin Wei. At the same time, all the small cinemas in Xiangjiang that were not in the cinema chain were also deliberately absorbed into the new Xiangjiang cinema chain by Lin Wei. This fierce money offensive suddenly made people  Jiahe Cinema Line is at a disadvantage.  But this is not the most important thing. Lin Wei first approached Hong Jinbao, and after promising some conditions, he brought his film company under the banner of Xiangjiang Cinemas. Lin Wei then wanted to bring in the film company under Cheng Long's name but did not  Success, but Lin Wei did not give up. Later, Lin Wei succeeded in wooing New Art City Film Company. This company was owned by Princess Jin, but in this time and space, for some unknown reason, it became a company owned by Jiahe.  film company, after Lin Wei made the promise, New Art City also invested in the Xiangjiang Cinema Line. The main reason why they did this was that the current Xiangjiang Cinema Line was much stronger than the Jiahe Cinema Line. The main reason was because of Lin Wei  The promise made was that in addition to the conditions given to them by Golden Harvest, Lin Wei was also responsible for letting Hong Jinbao, Xinyi City and other film companies be released in North American theaters.  Lin Wei's words are not empty talk. In fact, Lin Wei's next step is to develop theater chains in North America. Of course, the North American release contract signed with Hong Jinbao is not now, but one year later.  With this time, Lin Wei has enough time to develop enough theater chains in North America. Lin Wei's goal is not to make money from releasing movies in North America from the beginning, but to continuously sell a large number of Asian movies.  Screening in North America will gradually help North Americans get used to Asian aesthetics.  As a later generation Lin Wei, he actually understands a very important point: movies have nothing to do with traditional culture. What is the cultural difference between Westerners and Easterners that makes Eastern movies unable to break into Western movies?  , are all *farts*, the real difference is that one is a matter of aesthetic habits, and the other is a technical issue of movies. When a large number of Western movies poured into China, and the Chinese became accustomed to Westerners' aesthetics, Westerners  The powerful film technology naturally penetrated the Chinese territory fiercely. In the end, Chinese films could not beat others, not because of some bullshit culture, but because of technology. Lin Wei's goal was simple.  ??Just take advantage of this era to screen a large number of Xiangjiang movies for North Americans to watch. After more than ten years, I believe that many North Americans will no longer think that Orientals look weird. It will become a habit.  Once you accept the image of Orientals, coupled with Lin Wei's cheating device, which is technically not inferior to Hollywood, then it is not impossible for Xiangjiang's movies to finally enter North America. Besides, Lin Wei's previous life  In time and space, there are also some Hong Kong movies that have successfully entered North America. Lin Wei does not believe that by then, the Eastern versions of "Lord of the Rings" and "The Matrix" produced by Times Film Company will not be able to enter North America.  .  Of course, the final guarantee of all this is money, and Lin Wei's current money can only allow him to focus on the territory of Hong Kong, unify the territory of Hong Kong, rectify the film market in Hong Kong, and integrate the entire Hong Kong  Technical talents make this era of shining and talented people go further and higher.  ¡ª¡ªThank you for your support and reward, thank you, haha.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
