Chapter 114 Banning Order

The castle garden is five to six meters higher than the beach, with white steps extending upwards, and the flower beds on both sides are filled with various flowers. In the garden, An Yifei curled up on the beach chair like a paralyzed patient as always. Talking to Wendy next to him.

This year, the northern hemisphere encountered a cold snap. Even the temperature in Hong Kong dropped to around zero, and New York was also very cold. After the cold snap hit, Wendy also went to Stardust Island for vacation and joined a group of women.

"Ann, our current funds are too short. Excluding the consumption, there are still only more than 20 billion US dollars in the Swiss bank. With the success of several movies in the United States, as well as the income from financial investment, it has accumulated again. More than 3 million US dollars, but it is still far away.”

"Wendy, you can't do this calculation. The Venezuelan oil fields have already taken a lot of money from our Swiss bank account, which is used for equipment, wages, and departments that need to be managed. Although the future The benefits will be multiplied, but you also have to calculate our costs, right? Most of this money comes from fresh water plants, movies and other industries, and they are still making money. Even if we lose, we can lose rise"

"I know, Ann, but when I saw those iron ore mines in Australia, my thought was: this is a mess, as long as you have enough money in your hand, you can put them together without any effort"

"It's not just the integration of iron mines, Wendy. We also need to build roads and ports. This will be a huge investment project. We can't afford it for now, we have to wait."

At this time, New Year's Day in 1983 had already passed, so he smiled and said, "After two years, there will be a very good opportunity, and there will be a huge gold mine waiting for us to make money."

Wendy's eyes widened, "Wow, Ann, can you tell me what it is? I'm really curious"

"Not for the time being, Wendy, um..., this year's Hong Kong stock market will make waves again, you can let those people from financial investment step in, just as a practice."

"Because of the formal negotiation? It is said that there should be a consensus in the earlier contacts, so there will be no surprises, right?"

"There will definitely be more. Such opportunities will attract many speculators, so those who make financial investment should use short, flat and fast methods to play, and don't be caught."

Knowing that it was impossible to ask what the "opportunity" was two years later, Wendy stood up and walked down the steps, and then suddenly said: "Ann, I haven't had the safe drink you gave me for a long time. Potion, I think last night's... madness has got me pregnant"

"Teng" sat up straight. An Yifei was really pleasantly surprised. These women seemed to have made an appointment to give birth to "little pigs" in the year of the pig. Zhao Yazhi will give birth in the first half of the year, and Alian and Wendy will give birth successively in the second half of the year.

This white sand beach is really comfortable, and rolling on it has become popular in Anjia, and the health doctor in the castle strongly recommends doing more such activities, saying that the white sand can activate the blood vessels, and the trace elements mixed in the sand can whiten the skin. This intensifies the enthusiasm of the women to continue "rolling".

Only An Yifei resisted this kind of cuteness and stayed in the garden, and as the vacation time became longer, the phone calls became more frequent.

When Ah Zhi and Lin Qingxia are away, Fang Xiaobing, who is becoming more and more capable, will take on the responsibility of managing the film company.The phone that rang again was from the tall girl.

"Sir, I'm sorry to interrupt your vacation. I have two things for you to decide. One is that the mainland requested a joint venture to shoot a martial arts film and sent a letter. How should I reply?"

An Yifei knew that due to the flapping of his butterfly wings, the movie "Shaolin Temple" did not appear again. After thinking about it for a while, he replied: "Tell them that we will not participate unless it is a movie that promotes traditional Chinese culture. .As for praising those foreign sects, we will not accompany you."

"Okay, sir, then I will reply like this. One more thing... the new director Wang Jiawei asked for 2000 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot a movie that he thinks is perfect, and the company held two internal meetings to study it If you can’t reach a consensus, please decide.”

"Let him die, isn't it just using some swinging shots and incomprehensible editing to pretend to be a literary film? Trying to cheat my money? You, go to the next notice, fire him, and never hire him again"

After hanging up the phone, An Yifei was still cursing. This was the director he hated the most in his previous life. Not to mention that it took the longest time to make a movie and cost the most money. The things he made were also incomprehensible. It is estimated that he only suffered from "" Only those who suffer from Wen Qing can see clearly.

This phone call seemed innocuous, but it showed that during the month An Yifei's family had been on Stardust Island, some changes had occurred in the Hong Kong film and television company that he did not want to see, and some people had already tried to reach out.

So, he stood up with a "huh", yelled: "Let's go back to Hong Kong", then smiled "haha", and walked into the room with Li Hanfeng who was sitting in the corner.Leave the circle of eyes on the beach.

……

"A Fei, I heard that it's very cold in Hong Kong. We've discussed it. We won't go back for now. If you're worried about your business there, you can go back first. We'll wait until the end of February."

Hong Gu and the others are now in love with Stardust Island. There is no need to worry about reporters and fans here. They can do whatever they want, free and comfortable, so they are not very willing to go back, because now they must stay in the house of Danshui Villa to escape the cold , not as comfortable here.

"Okay then, be careful yourself, don't eat so much seafood anymore, haven't you noticed that you are gaining weight?"

"Ah...", An Yifei's words were too lethal, it was the "bad news" that the whole room of women feared the most, and they started to look in the mirror and find things to weigh.Even Li Hanfeng took out the small mirror in the bag nervously and looked at it.

"I'm really gaining weight", Ah Zhi screamed first, but everyone rolled their eyes, and Hong Gu stepped forward to comfort her, "No, Sister Zhi, this is a side effect of pregnancy."

Then, all the girls looked at An Yifei who was secretly laughing with "gritting teeth", surrounded him, and started a smug revenge together.

……

When An Yifei brought Li Hanfeng back to Hong Kong, it was already the end of January in 1983.The cold snap has passed, and the temperature on Hong Kong Island has stabilized at about 10 degrees, refreshing and comfortable.

On the third day after returning, on the floor where the Phoenix Mansion Film Company is located

An Yifei frowned and listened to the returns from all aspects. Relatively speaking, the TV station was the most stable. Liang Shuyi was very dedicated and hardworking, and she managed everything in an orderly manner.

The main problem still appeared in the film company. Xu Ke led some of his subordinates to transfer to the newly established "Garbo" film company, which caused instability within the film company for a period of time.

After Fang Xiaobing finished reporting about the film company, An Yifei calmly lit a cigar, "Just go, come and go freely, don't worry about these anymore, I have already written the new script, this movie will be released in the United States As for the filming, let Wu Yusheng come as the director."

"Okay, sir, I have already informed the theaters to ban the screening of Garbo's films, do you want to continue in the future?"

"Of course I have to continue. My good vacation plan was disrupted by them, and I still have to pay for it? From now on, their company's films will not appear on the list of the Academy Awards, and they will be completely banned."

……

This is the first time that An Yifei has issued a film and television ban order. No one dares to underestimate this verbal order. Phoenix Media can be said to occupy the vast majority of movie theaters in Hong Kong. After the great development, all became one.

After including these new movie theaters, Phoenix Film and Television has a share of more than 80.00% of the theaters on Hong Kong Island.The rest of Golden Harvest is about to collapse because of the blockbuster movies of Phoenix Film and Television, and the lack of seats, services, etc. With the arrival of the day when Hong Kong cinemas dominate the world.

Controlling the theater chain is tantamount to killing the movie release channels of the film company. The Golden Harvest theater chain, which only accounts for less than 20.00% of the market share, cannot satisfy people at the box office. There are also those who continue to use old-fashioned projectors and curtains, which are almost an entire era behind Phoenix Cinemas, and almost no one cares about the movies they show.

At the same time, the possibility of participating in the Golden Statue Awards was also blocked. Although Hong Gu only listed a private name in the jury of the Golden Statue Awards, the couple can be said to be the biggest benefactors of this award, with more than half of the funds It originated from An Yifei's "fundraising", so offending him is tantamount to offending the Academy Award jury.

Although An Yifei couldn't do it by himself, Ah Hu and others could do it. Hong Kong's Blackwater Security Security used the excuse of voluntary resignation to assist the media company to take back the low-rent or zero-rent houses allocated to those people earlier.This made many people who left with Xu Ke feel regretful until their intestines were green. Some people left their hometowns and wanted to try their luck in the United States, but they found that they were still so unlucky. .

Those South Vietnamese immigrants who left the Phoenix Film Company continued to suffer blows. Some of them went to the South Vietnamese Gang who returned to Hong Kong Island for help, but they were all beaten with black noses and faces, and were thrown into a prominent place in the downtown area for exhibition , as if the gang leader was asking someone for credit.

An Yifei didn't care about these things. As the Spring Festival in 1983 was getting closer, he needed to solve many things one by one. To him, the chaos caused by some people in the film company was just some small waves.
