Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 595 Approaching Moderately and Calmly
……

The establishment of Heung Kong Cinemas Group is naturally a big news in the entertainment circle of Heung Kong, and it immediately stole the limelight of the forthcoming 4th Hong Kong Film Awards.Reporters flocked to the newly opened headquarters of Heung Kong Cinemas Group, trying to get first-hand news.

In fact, the industry has long expected the birth of this giant.The strength of the backing of Gein DreamWorks is obvious, and the targets being hunted - Golden Harvest Cinemas and Golden Princess Cinemas simply cannot afford it.They found some consortiums to help out, but they all belonged to some seemingly incoherent cooperation. The poor performance of the Lunar New Year file showed this.

What surprised the outside world was that the first action of the Hong Kong Cinema Group was to question the Hong Kong government's changes in cinema regulations in the "Hong Kong Development Plan".

Regardless of whether or not the Hong Kong Cinema Group is taking advantage of the Hong Kong government, it has successfully created a social focus, which has attracted newspapers and TV stations to set up column discussions, and the public has also heatedly discussed it.

At this time, Jiang Zhiqiang, the general manager of the Heung Kong Cinema Group, was holding a briefing meeting with representatives of the Heung Kong Cinema Chamber of Commerce to explain some specific situations of the Heung Kong Cinema Group.

The Hong Kong Cinema Chamber of Commerce is a limited company established in the 1950s. It is a representative of the cinema industry designated by the Hong Kong government, and its members are all Hong Kong cinema operators.

Although Heung Kong Cinemas Group possesses de facto monopoly power, it does not want to give people the impression of domineering. In line with the principle of making money with harmony, it will provide Yindu Cinemas and the rest of them with the model of combining operators and owners. The movie theater explained that they have no intention of cutting off their film sources.

Of course, there are some responsibilities that you cannot shirk in the name of marginal status.For example, the change of movie theater attributes in the "Hong Kong Development Outline" is closely related to the interests of the entire industry, and everyone must work together to deal with it.If anyone is obedient to others, then don't complain about being put on small shoes in the future.

It is inevitable that everyone in the congregation will have different thoughts, but at least on the surface, they can be regarded as united.

Seeing that the reporters outside were still refusing to leave, Jiang Zhiqiang felt that the meeting was almost over, so he simply decided to come out to receive them, and finally these people's perseverance paid off.

……

"Manager Jiang, the Xiangjiang Cinema Group has gathered the resources of DreamWorks Cinemas, Golden Harvest Cinemas, and Golden Princess Cinemas. This should be enough to defeat no rivals in Xiangjiang, right?"

Jiang Zhiqiang replied in a light-hearted manner: "The purpose of Xiangjiang Cinema Group is to bring wonderful movies to Xiangjiang audiences, and to provide an excellent release platform for the producers. Some people may ask, what do you mean when you speak so noblely? Are you not going to make money?"

After the laughter passed, Jiang Zhiqiang continued: "Actually, everyone may wish to think about it. If we do both of these things well, the producer can safely send the copy to us for release, and the audience will happily call their friends and friends to walk in. Do our cinemas still worry about making money?"

……

"Manager Jiang, will Xiangjiang Cinema Group start a new **** renovation?"

"The multi-screen mode of DreamWorks Cinemas and the excellent viewing experience brought by the most advanced projection equipment have indeed won the praise of the audience. However, the theaters of the entire group should not be redecorated and upgraded across the board. , but give priority to those theaters located in prime locations."

When Jiang Zhiqiang said this, he added with a smile, "Of course, after you return to the newspaper office, you can also interpret this answer as that the Heung Kong Cinema Group will not affect the audience to go to the cinema to enjoy movies because of its own adjustments. "

……

"Manager Jiang, how is the discussion between the Hong Kong Cinema Group and the Hong Kong government regarding the changes in the attributes of cinemas in the "Hong Kong Development Outline" going?"

"The boss is following up on this matter, and I have no information to disclose for the time being."

"Manager Jiang, how many bosses do you have in Xiangjiang Cinema Group?"

"Although your question is very bad, I don't mind answering you seriously. The board of directors of Heung Kong Cinemas Group is my boss. My colleagues and I are in charge of daily specific work, while the boss pays attention to the macro trends of the industry. For example, the "Heung Kong Development Guidelines" The changes in the properties of movie theaters in "Strategy" will have an impact on the entire Xiangjiang film industry."

"We have noticed that Mr. Tang has not held any position in Xiangjiang Cinemas Group. Is there any reason for this?"

"This is a collective decision of the board of directors. There is nothing special about it. If you are not satisfied with my answer, you can ask Tang Sheng for verification."

……

Now that the Xiangjiang Cinema Group has been established, it is time for the previously turbulent DreamWorks film department to calm down and prepare to work at full capacity.

Therefore, Tang Huan came to the headquarters of DreamWorks early, intending to remind everyone by way of inspection - you should calm down, I noticed that some of you are not behaved!

It was rare that the pace of work and life slowed down a little during this time, so Tang Huan walked up the stairs quietly without taking the elevator, feeling very relaxed, and it seemed that his physical fitness had not declined.

Just as he was feeling complacent, he accidentally saw a figure dangling around the glass window with his hands outstretched, looking very strange.

Tang Huan frowned, opened the door gently, looked carefully, and couldn't help crying and laughing. It turned out that Liu Jialing covered her eyes with a veil, imitating a blind person and moving slowly.

He wanted to see what happened, so he didn't make a sound, just observed quietly.

As a result, the other party touched it while muttering "This should be the door".

When she touched Tang Huan, Liu Jialing was so frightened that she screamed and fell to the ground.

She took off the silk scarf on her head in a panic, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw a figure, "When did you stand there? Why are you panting and making no sound!"

"Do you usually pant like an old ox pulling a cart?" Tang Huan scolded him angrily, and then ordered: "Come to the office to see me later."

He didn't want to be misunderstood that he was molesting a female artist under his banner, that would be too low - just follow the unspoken rules, so after he finished speaking, he quickly opened the door and walked out.

After recognizing that it was the big boss, Liu Jialing got up all of a sudden, secretly said "I'm ashamed", and left the scene quickly to avoid attracting onlookers.

……

Although Hu Yinmeng has been in the United States for a long time, her office is still kept spotless, which shows her authority in DreamWorks.

Le Yiling, who is in charge of the artist department and is Hu Yinmeng's best friend, has been waiting for a long time.

She asked in surprise, "Boss, you didn't take the elevator up?"

"He came up." Tang Huan nodded, "If you're not in a hurry, it's time to exercise."

"With your physical fitness, you can become an athlete." Le Yiling complimented, and brought the brewed tea to Tang Huan.

"Athletes are exempted, and a few drinks are fine." Tang Huan joked: "When will you drink the wedding wine between you and Ah B?"

During this time and space, Tang Huan exerted considerable influence on the entertainment circles in Xiangjiang and Baodao, causing many things and the fate of characters to change beyond recognition.

This is the case for Le Yiling and Zhong Zhentao. They have met since filming the film "Seven Days of Love", and they are still boyfriend and girlfriend and have not broken up.

Zhong Zhentao has a lot of experience in the entertainment industry. In the early days of Winner Band, its idol aura contributed a lot to the development of the band.

When Cantonese pop music emerged, the members of Wen Na Band developed their own careers. Zhong Zhentao and Alan Tam successively went to the Baodao market.The latter won the Best Actor at the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards for his participation in a film that satirizes the mainland; the film work that attracted the attention of the former was the "Small Town Story" that helped Lin Fengjiao win the Best Actress at the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards. 》.

In 1983, Zhong Zhentao returned to Hong Kong to develop his career. The movie "Seven Days of Love" in which he participated was very successful. The theme song "A Love" and the episode "If We Are Destined" were also very popular. He also had a dual career in movies and recordings. It can be said that they go hand in hand.

Of course, Le Yiling, who Hu Yinmeng relied heavily on, had a very important status and was definitely worthy of Zhong Zhentao, a big star.

In Tang Huan's view, Zhong Zhentao is a rare talent with both strength and idol, no worse than Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung, Chen Baiqiang, Lin Zixiang and others.

However, it is not unreasonable for the Xiangjiang music scene to be called the sub-helm of the Japanese music scene.The records of Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung are widely sought after because they incorporate a large number of elements of Japanese music; Zhong Zhentao's music style is deeply influenced by Western European pop music, which is slightly inferior to them.

If Zhong Zhentao and Le Yiling get married, it would be a blessing for him, and it is very likely that they will not go bankrupt like the original time and space.

"It's important to develop your career, don't worry." Le Yiling was a little embarrassed by being teased, and quickly changed the subject: "Is there any request from the boss for the itinerary, so I can prepare it."

Tang Huan replied casually: "You can just look at the arrangement. I came here to show that I attach great importance to everyone's work."

Le Yiling nodded understandingly, "Then I understand."

"By the way, you have to pay attention quietly." Tang Huan said in a deep voice: "If those artists from the mainland are worthy of being cultivated, you can take care of them a little bit. Xiangjiang has entered a transition period, and we need to approach them quietly and moderately." , after all, our business spans three places across the Taiwan Strait, and we must maintain a balanced sensitivity at all times."

Seeing that the big boss and her immediate boss, Hu Yinmeng, valued her as much as her, and explained her words so clearly, Le Yiling was delighted and agreed repeatedly.

"That's right." An idea suddenly flashed in her mind, and she suddenly thought of something. "Boss, recently Miss Fang from TVB personally sent someone to privately lobby Miss Xie Ning to invite her to participate in this year's Miss Hong Kong election. Is this also due to this consideration?"

"Is there another episode?" Tang Huan frowned, "Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Maybe Ms. Xie feels a bit embarrassed." Le Yiling speculated with a smile, "After all, we have also launched a similar beauty pageant here to compete with Ms. Xiangjiang, so it is really hard to choose. More importantly, she is very interested in the current makeup artist. I am very satisfied with my job and the cookie shop business, I have no interest in entering the entertainment industry, and I can't get away from it."

Tang Huan shook his head with a smile, "Ms. Fang, she has a lot of thoughts. If she can really win a Miss Xiangjiang from the Mainland, it will indeed have the same effect as our plan. And, also By the way, it hit our beauty pageant.”

"Miss Xie's comprehensive quality is indeed very good. She is a rare beauty candidate. It's just that we can't force it, which makes that Miss Fang take advantage of the loophole." Le Yiling tentatively suggested: "Fat does not flow Outsider Tian, ​​we have no reason to take advantage of outsiders, or..."

"You might as well think about it from another angle. Isn't it a very interesting thing for our people to win the Miss Xiangjiang opposite?" Tang Huan once again showed his unique thinking, "As for our beauty pageant, The impact on the event is not as serious as imagined. The focus of the first event is to establish a smooth mechanism, set a precedent, and set a model for the future. Do you really think that you can defeat it in the first event? Miss Xiangjiang has been held for more than ten years? That’s unscientific!”

"In that case, let nature take its course." The thoughtful Le Yiling said with a smile.

She vaguely guessed that the big boss probably felt that if Xie Ning participated in the beauty pageant, he should participate in the more well-known Miss Xiangjiang instead of the immature beauty pageant on his own side.

As for the relationship between Xie Ning and the big boss, naturally he couldn't hide it from the eyes of his confidants.

"Among DreamWorks' artists, Liu Jialing performed well in all aspects, and recently arranged her first movie. From this point of view, DreamWorks is not far behind." Le Yiling said happily.

"Let Liu Jialing come here." Tang Huan nodded slightly, "Also, if Hong Jinbao and Wu Hanrun arrive, bring them to see me directly."

……

Liu Jialing walked into the office anxiously, and hurriedly explained the previous gaffe when they met, "Boss, I was trying to figure out the role just now. Didn't you ask Cheng Long to arrange a movie for me? The script is already in hand." Yeah, it’s called Twisters. My character, Bonnie, is an investigator, and a bunch of bad guys break into the house, and she has to pretend to be blind to confuse them.”

"Don't panic, I didn't mean to blame you." Tang Huan waved his hand to signal the other party to sit down, and comforted him gently: "I heard about your hard work, from a little girl who couldn't even speak Cantonese to now in "New "Brother Zha" and "The Deer and Ding Tale" played an important supporting role, and the achievements are obvious to all."

Hearing this, Liu Jialing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt warm in her heart, "Thank you boss for the promotion back then."

"That requires you to work hard." Tang Huan turned his attention to the purpose of calling the other party, "You have almost trained, and the company will officially praise you, except for the "Twisting Miscellaneous Army" you just mentioned, There will also be a heavyweight TV series, you have to be prepared for hardship."

"I'm not afraid of hardship." Liu Jialing nodded in high spirits.

"In addition, you have to protect yourself. The social environment here in Xiangjiang is very complicated, and the attitude towards mainlanders is also the same. Your popularity is likely to attract criticism from people who laugh at people who hate people, and once you get rid of it, it will be difficult to deal with it. , the company can’t protect you either.”

When Tang Huan said this, seeing Liu Jialing's obedient expression of understanding, he raised his hand to chase the person away, "Just be clear. You can go out now. If you stay here too long, it will easily lead to comments behind my back."

Liu Jialing came out of the office with a hot face, just in time to meet Le Yiling, accompanied by Hong Jinbao and Wu Hanrun, and she hurriedly said hello.

Le Yiling nodded affectionately, but a thought came to her mind, "It's coming out so soon, maybe I thought too much just now."
