Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 594 In the final analysis, it is for me to use

After the three of them had almost digested the information about the change of movie theater regulations in the "Xiangjiang Development Outline", Tang Huan slowly said: "If everyone is not satisfied with working for three to five years before returning to the mountains and forests, then they must take precautions. Response measures, let the Hong Kong government restore the previous content."

Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, and Lei Juekun were not in a hurry to express their opinions, because they had a lot to think about.

Hong Kong has entered a transitional period. How could the Hong Kong government be willing to take a long-term view to manage this soon-to-be-lost territory?

Moreover, people are busy adjusting the power structure including the election method, and they have not seen such active actions before, and the meaning of professionalism is very obvious.

In addition, this change in the "Hong Kong Development Outline" must have been driven by interest groups in the real estate industry. Who can compete with it?

Besides, isn't Tang Huan also a vested interest?His Qinhe was originally a giant, but he acquired a lot of land during the Great Depression of the real estate industry a few years ago. He called it "supporting the market" to help the Hong Kong government stabilize the situation. Now it seems that it is a bargain.

But Tang Huan, a big landlord, is actually going against the regulations in the "Xiangjiang Development Outline" that are obviously beneficial to real estate developers. What is going on in his head?

The anger in Lei Juekun's heart has never been smoothed over. He has invested a lot of money in the Golden Princess Cinemas and Xinyi City. He originally wanted to break out a new world in a new field by "reducing ten meetings at a time", but now he To be incorporated into the so-called theater alliance as a younger brother, Zou Wenhuai even made a move.

Therefore, Lei Juekun was the first to express his opinion impatiently, "I'm afraid it's not that easy for the Hong Kong government to swallow what they say? I wonder what role Qinhe played among the people behind the scenes?"

"It's just a cold-eyed onlooker, otherwise I wouldn't know about these changes before the wind blows." Tang Huan laughed loudly, "You guys don't need to doubt my position. My views on Xiangjiang will definitely not be short-sighted. Red Flowers still need to be matched with green leaves. In the urban steel jungle, if there is no cultural heritage to improve the style, the real estate value will eventually be affected. Besides, this is just a incidental factor. I am really interested in movies. Hollywood Just one example."

As soon as Hollywood was mentioned, Zou Wenhuai's eyes immediately became eager, "Congratulations to Tang Sheng's Orion Films for winning the best film award. Your vision is really accurate. This small film company originated from United Artists, only a few years old. history, I did not expect it to operate so well.”

"Golden Harvest's performance in entering Hollywood is also good. If we can have caring people to cooperate with us, it will be even better." Tang Huan said pointedly.

Chow Wen-huai said this. He had the same level of career as Run Run Shaw. His film career had reached its peak in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia. Entering Hollywood became the ultimate driving force.

In particular, at the current stage, New Art City is suppressed by DreamWorks and Golden Harvest. Its performance is only outstanding, and it has not made a rapid rise, which will further hinder his success. Naturally, his ambitions are still in Hollywood.

"Only Tang Sheng has the strength to set up the big theater alliance in Xiangjiang." Zou Wenhuai looked forward to the bright future with a smile, "At that time, under the comprehensive scheduling, a good movie can be achieved better than the current one. The box office with a higher status will greatly benefit overseas distribution.”

At this stage, Xiangjiang Film, which is regarded as the benchmark for Chinese-language films, can make profits through local box office, but the local capacity is limited after all. If more films want to make big money, they must rely on selling films to Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, When traveling to Japan and other places, the price is often calculated roughly by multiplying the local box office in Xiangjiang by a coefficient.

Obviously, if the local box office of Xiangjiang Films increases, the producers will be able to earn more accordingly.

Of course, the benefits of theater alliances are far more than these, but the most obvious point is enough to make things happen.

There is no best without the worst. The previous battles between theaters have clearly demonstrated the disadvantages of fighting on their own, which can be said to make people feel at ease.

Lei Juekun's thinking slowly entered this range, so he decided to absorb the lesson of the theater battle and surrendered backwards, and took the lead in saying: "Tang Sheng has always had a bright eye, and I am willing to persuade Hong Kong together. The government retracted this inappropriate change in the "Xiangjiang Development Outline". I just don't know if Tang Sheng has any regulations for specific actions?"

Seeing how fast everyone was unifying their thoughts, Tang Huan smiled secretly.The long-term development of an alliance requires external threats and pressures in addition to internal interest attraction. The "Hong Kong Development Outline" changed the relevant regulations of movie theaters, which can only be said to be God's help.

He pondered and said: "The reason why the Hong Kong government has changed the nature of cinemas from entertainment facilities to commercial retail facilities is that it has become more and more commercial. Perhaps, as a preparatory plan, cinemas should provide appropriate support for literary films. Of course, multi-screen theaters are better suited for this task, and DreamWorks Cinemas is doing just that.”

"Tang Sheng's structure is very comparable." Zou Wenhuai gave a wry smile, "I don't know how much the film professionals support this approach of DreamWorks Cinemas. It even made us the main reason for the unsatisfactory box office performance of the New Year's Eve."

Tang Huan smiled noncommittally, and continued: "In addition, we may also need to set up a special fund to do some face-saving projects such as supporting the development of literature and art."

Lei Juekun showed a look of hesitation, "This should be within the scope of the Hong Kong government's responsibility. Are we involved too much?"

"Does the Hong Kong government have such a thought and vision?" Tang Huan snorted, "If we do more, we will naturally gain more."

Lei Juekun thought about it carefully, and it was true.Besides, the four people here not only control the large theater chains in Xiangjiang, but also control the major film companies, and they can gather unprecedented power. In Xiangjiang, no, this pool is too small, at least Asia is calling the wind and rain, Why count too much on the Hong Kong government that pursues active non-intervention, the more freedom the better.

Now that the participants have no objections on the general principle, the next step is to arrange the positions.

Dreamworks Cinemas, Golden Harvest Cinemas, and Golden Princess Cinemas form Heung Kong Cinemas Group. The chairman of the board of directors is Shao Yifu, the vice-chairmen are Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun, and the general manager is Jiang Zhiqiang from DreamWorks.

After the power structure is finalized, it is time to discuss the detailed charter.Although Jiang Zhiqiang had prepared a plan long ago, he couldn't declare it completed in a short while.Fortunately, the boss's main concern is numbers, and the rest of the routine affairs can be carried out step by step.

Taking advantage of the gap before the dinner, Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun were not around, Shao Yifu asked curiously: "Recently, Media Asia TV seems to be very interested in Funan, not only the reporters, but also many administrative personnel have gone there."

"Uncle Six doesn't miss any trouble." Tang Huan nodded with a smile, "They are going there to help Funan set up a TV organization, and maybe they can also open a subsidiary company of Media Asia TV."

Hearing this answer, Shao Yifu took a deep breath, and tentatively asked, "The situation in Funan changed suddenly this year, has it stabilized to the point where Media Asia TV is involved?"

Tang Huan slapped his hand lightly in the air, "Currently, King Funan's forces have controlled the capital and important coastal ports, while Annan's forces have retreated to the junction of Funan and South in the east. It can be regarded as dividing the east and the west. It's still pretty safe."

"When did King Funan become so powerful? Annan defeated all the Americans. The more than [-] boat people here in Xiangjiang were born because of it." Shao Yifu had a surprised look on his face.

It is estimated that the old party did not have much time to pay attention to the news of Funan, so Tang Huan explained patiently, "At this time and then at that time, Annan's confrontation with the Americans at that time was actually a game between several major powers. The result; but now everyone has betrayed their relatives, and the boss can't pay the soldiers, so the strength is already very empty."

"It seems that Tang Sheng understands the situation in Funan very well." Shao Yifu nodded suddenly, "However, the control of TV stations in Southeast Asia has always been very strict, and Funan is probably no exception. With the economic level there, even In the capital, the popularity of TVs should be very limited, and Media Asia TV’s investment will have to wait until the future to pay off, but how to avoid the risks from the policy level in this process?”

"Of course I am sure to protect my own interests..." Tang Huan smiled confidently.

At this moment, Lei Juekun came over and interjected, "Tang Sheng, Sir Shao, what are you talking about, you are so excited."

Tang Huan glanced at Zou Wenhuai, who was walking at the back, and guessed that the two of them just went to eliminate their quarrel with each other. Judging from the expressions on their faces, it was quite fruitful.

The reason why he tried so hard to win over this group of people is ultimately for my use.

Now that Shao Yifu talked about Funan, Tang Huan decided to simply reveal some news to draw a big cake and better gather their energy.

"To tell you the truth, my brother-in-law is the son-in-law of the King of Funan. He controls the strongest army in the faction and will serve as the chief executive. The title should now be decided as Prime Minister."

Tang Huan looked around at the three people in front of him, "Do you think my investment will be guaranteed?"

Before they closed their mouths, Tang Huan continued to break the news: "Funan will set up a special zone in Hanouk City, the port, and I plan to build it into a Chinese settlement similar to Xiangjiang. Qinhe Infrastructure, Xiangjiang Lighting, Xiangjiang Companies such as telecommunications have investigated the situation in transportation, energy, and communications in the past, and I believe that in three to five years, it will look different."

The pie was obviously too big, and it knocked Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, and Lei Juekun unconscious.

After a long time, Zou Wenhuai, who was the first to react, muttered to himself: "If this is the case, it will probably become a market that is as friendly to Xiangjiang films as Baodao."

"Funan is economically backward after all, can it attract a sufficient number of people?" Shao Yifu pointed directly at the core of the problem.

"The so-called Special Zone will naturally give the most favorable policies." Tang Huan did not answer too much in detail.

Some information, he can't continue to talk about it. Although the population is indeed a problem, the mercenaries under my uncle Han Anyuan are all going to take root in Funan, and they can more or less attract a group of relatives and old friends. This number Still very impressive.

In addition, the mainland currently has a large surplus of labor force, and in addition to the massive disarmament of millions, Tang Huan intends to use this resource to carry out labor export, which can not only increase employment opportunities, but also meet the economic development needs of Hanouk City.

As long as the economy is improved, people will naturally gather like moths to a flame.

Tang Huan now has a lot of money, but whether it is the mainland or Xiangjiang, there are too many restrictions, and some of his ideas have to find a whiteboard like Funan to realize.

In the end, Tang Huan joked with a smile: "For the three of you, 80 million is not worth mentioning. It's better to make a strategic investment in Hanouk City. If you can't get it back, it's a pleasure; if you create a satisfactory The business opportunity is picked up."

"Tang Sheng's investment philosophy is too incisive." Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, and Lei Juekun laughed knowingly.

After this episode, the new commercial alliance of Xiangjiang Cinema Group has become more and more harmonious.This was reflected in the banquet, where Tang Huan, Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, and Lei Juekun chatted happily at the main seat, and the subordinates also easily exchanged cups and cups.

Zou Wenhuai even changed the topic from theaters to film production, and complained angrily: "Hollywood's management mechanism does have its merits. In contrast, the people under it are becoming more and more unreliable now. They made an old-fashioned zombie film, and the original budget of 450 million was overrun by more than 800 million. They thought they were doing "Star Wars", and if the local box office can reach 600 million, they will be very happy."

"Who are the operating members of this project?" Tang Huan asked casually.

"Producer Hong Jinbao, director Liu Guanwei, starring Lin Zhengying and Xu Guanying." Zou Wenhuai thought for a while, and added: "I also invited Li Saifeng and Qian Xiaohao from DreamWorks to participate."

"After everyone further strengthens mutual trust, it might be possible to cooperate in film financing to reduce risks." Tang Huan waved his hand boldly, "If Zou Sheng is willing, I will make up for the budget gap, and it will be a joint film between two companies. But , you have to give up Hong Jinbao's schedule, I want to ask him to make a war movie."

"Of course there is no problem. I also want to thank Tang Sheng for his loyalty." Zou Wenhuai agreed happily, without realizing that he was sharing a blockbuster movie with others, and continued to ask enthusiastically, "War movie? This For Xiangjiang, it seems to be a very fresh theme."

"When I came to Xiangjiang this time, I specially brought someone with me, that is the newly released Oscar winner Wu Hanrun for Best Supporting Actor. I think we can use his influence to try to shoot a new type of movie." Tang Huan explained carefully .

Zou Wenhuai and others had naturally heard about Wu Hanrun's deeds, and they immediately guessed that Tang Huan was making a fuss for Funan.
