1. The Jianghu in Xiangjiang has always had its rules, but they were destroyed by Lin Wei. Lin Wei's actions were so crazy that Zou Wenhuai from Jiahe Company thought that Lin Wei was crazy, because by doing this, Lin Wei was simply making an enemy of all the gangsters in Hong Kong, so Zou Wenhuai felt that there must be someone The boss came out to tell Lin Wei not to be so crazy. Then, Zou Wenhuai guessed the beginning, but did not guess the ending. Those well-known gangsters in Xiangjiang did have opinions on Lin Wei, so they could be sent out to warn or Xiang Huaqiang, who said he was negotiating with Lin Wei, changed his mind after going to Lin Wei. The next day, the same Xiang Huaqiang came to Jiahe Company. No one knew what Xiang Huaqiang and Zou Wenhuai said. After Xiang Huaqiang left Jiahe Company, Zou Wenhuai was silent for a whole day. Finally, he came to He Guanchang with a sigh and said to his best friend and assistant. : "Let's negotiate with that kid." He Guanchang didn't ask Zou Wenhuai why. He could see that Zou Wenhuai's expression was a little sad. He knew that Zou Wenhuai was at the time when he was ambitious, but God did something wrong. Lin Wei, a monster-like guy, forcibly made Zou Wenhuai's ambition turn into smoke. This couldn't help but be sad. Even He Guanchang himself was also sad in his heart. Because they lost, they lost inexplicably. Those who broke the rules were not punished, but those who followed the rules suffered a complete defeat. What is happening to this world? He Guanchang couldn't understand. He found that the times in Xiangjiang seemed to be changing quietly, making his previous experience somewhat unsuitable for this era. He Guanchang silently accepted Zou Wenhuai's instructions and called Lin Wei. Lin Wei smiled when he heard He Guanchang's call. This is not a proud smile, but a clear understanding in my heart that Xiangjiang's movies have embarked on a different path from the previous life, although this path cannot understand the future. But Lin Wei believes that Xiangjiang movies on this path should go further and be more glorious than in previous generations, at least they will not decline in just a dozen years. Lin Wei took Zhao Yazhi and a small negotiation team to see Zou Wenhuai. This was a conference room of Jiahe Company. Zou Wenhuai was sitting in the main seat of the conference room waiting for Lin Wei. Seeing Lin Wei's arrival, Zou Wenhuai did not get up: "Boss Lin, you really live up to the old saying, a hero comes from a young age. I really underestimated Boss Lin at the beginning, and I didn't expect that Boss Lin could be so powerful." "Zou Uncle. I am not as powerful as you think, Uncle Zou. The reason for this situation is not my ability, but the ability of others. I just happened to have the opportunity." Lin Wei smiled at the meeting. He sat in the row on the right side of the room, and He Guanchang and several others sat in the row on the left. They are all senior executives of Jiahe Company. "Perhaps it was because of the wrong timing, but no matter what, I lost this time because I didn't see the opportunity. Let's talk, if Jiahe Company's theater chain is merged into Xiangjiang Theater Line, then what can you do? What benefits can you give to Jiahe Company?" Zou Wenhuai pointed out the topic directly. Looking at Lin Wei's young and childish face, he felt that he was really old and no longer had the ambition as before. I no longer have the courage to do anything. "Uncle Zou, this is the film screening system implemented by our Xiangjiang Cinemas Company. Although Jiahe Company's theaters are merged into Xiangjiang Cinemas, there is no harm to Jiahe. It is still very beneficial. At least, our Xiangjiang Cinemas will The films produced do not need to be bloody and bloody. Secondly, we can better coordinate our screening capabilities outside of Hong Kong and promote our excellent films in Hong Kong to the outside world. I know that Uncle Zou and you are outside of Hong Kong. The place is very powerful and has a wide range of screening channels, but Uncle Zou, have you ever thought that those channels of yours are ultimately in the hands of others, especially places like North America, where a movie is It¡¯s a big market, but where are our Xiangjiang movies, and how much profit can we make?¡± Lin Wei said as he handed a stack of documents to Zou Wenhuai. After Zou Wenhuai received the document, he did not read it immediately. Instead, he asked: "What are your plans for the North American film market? I heard that you will join those films under your banner before the end of next year." The company's movies will be screened in North America. " "Actually, there is no good plan, Uncle Zou, my plan is very simple, that is, within the next year, we will purchase at least one hundred large and medium-sized cinemas in North America to form an initial distribution network. I don¡¯t want theaters in North America to make money. I just want to let people in North America know about our Xiangjiang movies. At the same time, I want white people and black people in North America to get used to our Xiangjiang movie model and to get used to us Orientals. Just like we have accepted and recognized Monroe as a beauty, I also hope that in their eyes, they can finally admit that Lin Qingxia is a beauty. This is a process that takes time and cannot be changed in a short time. , at the same time, ??We also need Xiangjiang to continue to produce excellent films to attract audiences in North America. Therefore, Uncle Zou has something to say. Not all films from franchised film companies can be screened in North America, but those films Only excellent films can be screened in North America, and they can be used to open up the film market in North America bit by bit. " Zou Wenhuai looked at Lin Wei, his eyes changing constantly. He did not expect that the young man in front of him, who was not yet twenty years old, had such ambitions. To a certain extent, this ambition was simply Wishful thinking, some of the filmmakers in Xiangjiang would not want to enter North America, but that is such a distant dream. He, Zou Wenhuai, has been thinking about this dream since the establishment of Jiahe Company. For this dream, he How much sweat has been shed and how much effort has been spent, but until now, it is still a dream for Xiangjiang's movies to enter the North American market, and the young man in front of him actually wants to use such a direct and brutal method , launching an attack on the film market in North America. ¡°I¡¯m afraid, even if we have our own theater chain in North America, it will not be easy for Xiangjiang¡¯s movies to enter North America. You know, apart from the different cultural aesthetics between the East and the West, we have different cultural aesthetics. Xiangjiang's film technology is also lagging behind others. "Zou Wenhuai was silent for a while and then said. The North American film market is a dream he has worked hard for for more than ten years. No one understands better than him how difficult it is to open the North American film market. He doesn't think that just opening up the North American film market is a dream. You can do it just by having money to buy a movie theater chain. Our film technology in Hong Kong has indeed lagged behind that of Hollywood. These backward things require all the filmmakers in Hong Kong to work together to catch up. At the same time, we should also see the advantages of Hong Kong, such as. Our Xiangjiang has an advantage in action. At this point, the whole world is lagging behind our Xiangjiang. Uncle Zou, in fact, it is not difficult to bring our Xiangjiang's movies to North America. As long as we have enough funds, we can use a large amount of funds to dig out the talents we need, and we can use a large amount of funds to cultivate the markets we need. Of course, then again, we really don¡¯t have that much funds. , I can use the money to buy some movie theaters. I can also use money to recruit some talents, but that¡¯s all I can do. For the rest, we need other filmmakers in Hong Kong to work together. " These words of Lin Wei finally touched Zou Wenhuai and asked: "So, why do you want to unify the film forces in Xiangjiang? But have you ever thought that after the film market in Hong Kong is unified, will it lose its original vitality? " "Our Xiangjiang is only a small place, and our filmmakers in Xiangjiang basically rely on this small market to survive. It seems to be very prosperous now, but it is just a flower in a flowerpot. After all, it will be difficult to grow into a towering tree. In addition, the various forces in the current Hong Kong film market are in a mess and compete with each other. The problem is that people follow the trend too much, which makes this originally small market shrink faster. If this continues, our Hong Kong film industry will have reached a dead end before the mainland film market becomes huge. Uncle Zou, you You should understand that I am not a pure filmmaker. I have many other industries. In terms of making money, I really don¡¯t like the movie industry now. However, I like movies, and I like that movies in Hong Kong can prosper forever. , and I prefer that people all over the world like our Xiangjiang movies. " Hearing Lin Wei's words that seemed to express his feelings, almost everyone in the conference room looked at Lin Wei. Zhao Yazhi, who was sitting next to Lin Wei, had tenderness, admiration and reverence in his eyes. Maybe others won't believe Lin Wei's words, but Zhao Yazhi will definitely believe it, because she knows that Lin Wei is indeed very profitable in other aspects. Times Film Company is no longer a profitable company in Lin Wei's hands. In Shangzhong, Times Film Company is very prosperous, but compared with other companies under Lin Wei, it lags behind, but Lin Wei puts the most thought into it. It can be imagined that he really likes movies. , In other words, he is really the only one who likes movies not for profit. Zou Wenhuai also knows that Lin Wei is not just talking nonsense, because Lin Wei has too many other profitable industries, and he is definitely not a filmmaker, but He is definitely a person who likes movies, so Zou Wenhuai also felt that Lin Wei's words were somewhat sincere. Realizing this, Zou Wenhuai's perception of Lin Wei began to change: "Then, Can you guarantee that Xiangjiang's films can continue to maintain their vitality? If not, then there is no talk of entering the North American film market. " " How to guarantee it, Uncle Zou, it's all explained in the document in your hand. Lin Wei said with a smile. Zou Wenhuai nodded and began to look at the documents in his hand. Zhao Yazhi stood up and distributed the same documents to He Guanchang and the others. Several senior people in Jiahe stopped talking and looked at the documents seriously. The main themeThe content is that after the cinemas owned by Xiangjiang Jiahe Company were merged into Xiangjiang Cinemas, Lin Wei became the chairman, Lei Juekun became the general manager of Xiangjiang Cinemas (this was the condition Lin Wei previously agreed to Lei Juekun), and Zou Wenhuai serves as vice chairman. In addition, board members include He Guanchang, Shao Daheng (after Shaw Brothers merged into Times Film Company, Shao Daheng had some shares in Times Film Company and Xiangjiang Cinemas), Zhao Yazhi, Wang Jing (Zhao Yazhi and Wang Jing have very few shares, but Mr. Lin cannot be the sole commander in the board of directors). Another main content of the document is that the screening system of Xiangjiang Cinemas, whether it is Times Film Company, Golden Harvest Company, or Golden Princess Company, must go through trial screenings. Those with good reputation in the trial screenings will be given to ten medium-sized and It will be shown in large cinemas. If the test screening has a bad reputation, it will be screened in small cinemas. If the box office performance is good, it will be screened in Hong Kong. As for movies that have a bad reputation in test screenings, if they do well at the box office when screened in small cinemas, they can be screened in large and medium-sized cinemas. The top 20 box office films in Hong Kong throughout the year will have the opportunity to enter North America. show. The end of the file. There are seven guilds established in the film industry. The first is the Actors Guild, the second is the Directors Guild, the third is the Screenwriters Guild, the fourth is the Martial Artists Guild, and the fifth is the Photographers Guild. The sixth one is the Makeup Artists Guild, and the seventh one is the Film Industry Practitioners Guild, which has established a screenwriter award fund. This award fund is linked to the Film Awards. Anyone who is shortlisted for the best screenwriter can receive a generous sum. Lin Wei did this because of the funds. It¡¯s because I feel the current situation in Hong Kong. There is no shortage of excellent directors or even excellent technicians in Hong Kong, but the screenwriting industry lacks talent. In other words, it¡¯s not that there is a lack of talent, but that the film industry in Hong Kong doesn¡¯t pay much attention to it. Screenwriter. Many directors don't hire screenwriters at all when making movies, they all write and direct themselves. For example, Wang Jing, if it weren't for the emergence of Lin Wei, he is the one who likes to write and direct the most. Because he doesn't pay too much attention to screenwriters, Xiangjiang will eventually There is a lack of good scripts. ?The last point in the document is that Xiangjiang Cinemas will never participate in the Hong Kong Film Awards. As for how to ensure the fairness of the Hong Kong Film Awards, Lin Wei did not propose it in this document. After reading the document in his hand, Zou Wenhuai sighed. He could see from this document that Lin Wei's purpose of unifying the film industry in Hong Kong was not to make money for himself, but for the film industry in Hong Kong. Although it cannot be said that he is completely selfless, he is sincere for the development of the Hong Kong film industry. Zou Wenhuai knew from this document that although there will be a Lin Wei who will be above him in name in the future, he will not treat Jiahe For the company, not only are its interests not damaged, but it can also gain more benefits from it. Because of the unified theater chain in Hong Kong, Jiahe Company's movies can maximize their benefits and bring the last bit of benefit to the Hong Kong film market. It's all been squeezed out. As for the screening system of Xiangjiang Cinemas, Zou Wenhuai does not think that the films produced by his Golden Harvest Company will be reduced to the same level as those of small film companies. Moreover, Zou Wenhuai also knows clearly that this screening system will be effective. Prevent movies with poor box office from occupying theaters. Generally speaking, the better your movie is, the greater the benefits you will get. If you want to follow other people's trends and make certain subjects bad, then that's up to you. The follow-up work must be good enough, otherwise it won¡¯t even be shown in small movie theaters. After putting down the document in his hand, Zou Wenhuai was silent for a while and said: "In general, this is a good system. In principle, I agree to merge the theaters under our Jiahe Company into Xiangjiang Film Company. The specifics are You can talk to Guan Chang about the negotiation. " "Haha Uncle Zou, then we will be our own people from now on. I will let Zhao Yazhi represent me and Lei Juekun at the Xiangjiang Cinema Line. Now, there is probably no one here. What happened to me?" Lin Wei stood up and smiled. "So, should those news reports be withdrawn?" Zou Wenhuai smiled bitterly and stood up. In this negotiation, Zou Wenhuai had to sit down and negotiate entirely because of those endless news reports. Yes, although the final result made him very satisfied, the feeling of being forced to do it was very uncomfortable. "Of course, otherwise, Brother Xiang would be very angry." Lin Wei smiled and left the conference room with Zou Wenhuai, leaving He Guanchang behind. Zhao Yazhi and the others continued to negotiate. Zou Wenhuai invited Lin Wei to come When he arrived at his office, Lin Wei used the phone in his office in front of Zou Wenhuai to initiate actions to stop news and public opinion. After making the phone calls one by one, Lin Wei smiled and said to Zou Wenhuai: "Uncle Zou, the rest are beyond my control. Brother Xiang should have told you that some people are dissatisfied with Xiangjiang." It will take some time for this public opinion storm to completely subside. In addition, if they do this, I still owe them a favor. Later, I have to find a way to repay this favor. saysGot up, I was at a disadvantage. " "You deserve it. Who asked you to ignore the rules of the road like this? I said A Wei, since you call me Uncle Zou, then I have to tell you, you can't be so sharp as a human being, especially us. As a businessman, you pay more attention to the principle of making money by being friendly. It is not a good thing for you to offend so many people at once. "Zou Wenhuai looked at Lin Wei. As a business rival in the past, he naturally didn't have a good impression. Now as a collaborator, seeing Lin Wei's respect for him from beginning to end, Zou Wenhuai's feelings for Lin Wei increased. His outlook also changed. Zou Wenhuai was willing to make friends with such an outstanding person. Lin Wei humbly accepted Zou Wenhuai's advice. After talking to Zou Wenhuai for a while, he left. Zou Wenhuai said. He sent Jiahe Company away. Looking at Lin Wei's leaving figure, Zou Wenhuai sighed and thought, this man will be Xiangjiang's entertainment boss from now on. I hope he can really lead Xiangjiang's film industry into North America. ¡ª¡ª Thank you to Fairy Lake and wjwllee for your support and rewards. Haha, thank you.
