Chapter 1 Banned
The afternoon sun shone through the glass window on the dining table. The boundary between light and darkness was very clear. The sunlight reflected from the tableware shone on Wang Jing's eyes. Wang Jing looked at Shen Han leaning against the back of the chair and drank tea more leisurely. Wang Jing was not restrained. He moved the seat and found a comfortable position to lean on it.
Wang Jing took out a plan from his briefcase and said to Chen Fang and Qin Mohan: "Next year we will produce "Macau Storm 3". We plan to invite Zhou Runfa, Liu Dehua, Zhang Xueyou, Zhang Jiahui, and Liu Jialing at the same time, which can also be regarded as the famous actors in Xiangjiang. I wonder if Miss Mohan is interested in being the heroine..."
"Not interested." Qin Mohan once heard Qu Xiaoxiao say that Wang Jing had made Feng Kun a statement, and was very disdainful of his behavior. So before Wang Jing finished speaking, he refused, which made Wang Jing almost hold back his breath.
Wang Jing feels that something is wrong. Mainland actresses should be quite interested in cooperating with Xiangjiang, especially super big names like Chow and Andy Lau. Many mainland actresses are competing to cooperate with him. In the first part of "Macau Storm", Lin Susu, who has a great background in the mainland film and television industry, proposed to bring funds to the group because she wanted to cooperate with Chow. Not to mention that the third part prepared this time is definitely full of superstars. Wang Jing was also preparing to propose this as compensation. Unexpectedly, Qin Mohan refused directly.
Chen Fang said: "Director Wang, Mo Han has no plans for film and television production next year. She is planning to change careers as a producer and variety shows."
"The variety show is great. I watched "Slow Travel the World" produced by Miss Mo Han. It is really beautiful. I heard that several TV stations in Xiangjiang are interested in purchasing copyrights. If Miss Mo Han needs help in this regard, I can still contact you." Wang Jing suddenly realized when he heard Chen Fang's words, yes, the two people in front of him are already married. Qin Mo Han, as a wealthy lady, is not suitable for showing up in public.
"Thank you, Director Wang. Someone is already discussing the copyright issue. If you need help, I'm looking for you." Qin Mohan still expressed his gratitude to Wang Jing for his kindness.
"You're welcome, I was just abrupt." Wang Jing changed his mind and looked at Chen Fang and continued: "I wonder if Mr. Chen is interested in investing in "Macau Storm 3"? Our drama is just beginning to prepare, and investors are currently negotiating."
"Director Wang is digging a hole for me again." Chen Fang shook his head and smiled. The sun was dazzling. Chen Fang squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Jing, which made Wang Jing feel like he was seen through at first glance.
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry." Wang Jing said embarrassedly: "How dare you make a trap? I mainly want to find an opportunity to hug your big tree."
The first two main investments of the drama "Macau Storm" are Huaxing and Huanya, and the mainland is Boya, and the three companies jointly hold the copyright of the drama and the sequel production rights. At present, the box office of the first part has exceeded 500 million, and the second part may reach 1 billion. As long as the reputation is not too bad, the box office of the third part will not be lower than this number. This involves hundreds of millions of interests. Therefore, unless someone withdraws from these three companies, the Wild Fox will offend the three peers if they want to enter.
Although Wild Fox Company is now a leader in the industry and has the support of Chen Fang, the big funder behind it, it is still playing in the rules of the industry game. It does not hurt people with its power and suppress people, but seeks cooperation from multiple parties. If there are too many people offends, all companies in the industry will unite to resist you. Even if Wild Fox Company has a big family and a big business, it will definitely not be able to withstand it.
"Harmony brings wealth, take a step back and broaden the sky and do your internal strength to be as stable as a rock." This is a point that Chen Fang instilled in Huo Mingda and several senior executives of the company, but peace is the most important thing, people cannot be bullied. This time, Wang Jing's use of the Wild Fox Company to suppress the price of Boya is a bit too bullying.
Chen Fang looked at Wang Jing and said coldly: "Director Wang, do you know how much we will compensate Boya Pictures for the commission for your three points of distribution? The Chinese circle is different from your Xiangjiang, which company does not have an official background. To make up for it, we promised Boya Pictures' investment share of the two films, and they expect to have an investment income of about 50 million."
"Ah, so much?" Wang Jing looked at Chen Fang in disbelief.
"Yes, that's all. A movie "Gardenia Blossom" directed by Teacher He Jiong, and a movie "Wolf Totem" directed by Niu Hao. I believe Director Wang should know the status of these two people in the Chinese circle. Now Boya kicked it in. How much do you think we have lost?" Chen Fang picked up the teacup and took a sip. The fragrance of black tea from Ceylon was a pleasure for the taste buds.
Chen Fang put down the teacup and said to Wang Jing, who had not responded for a long time: "After all, this matter was taken up by Director Wang. Do you think we should ask for some compensation from you?"
Hearing Chen Fang's threat, Wang Jing said to Chen Fang with a bitter face: "Mr. Chen, it was because of my fever that I borrowed the power of your company. I didn't expect to cause such great losses to your company. I hope you have a lot of adults, and you don't care about villains. Let Wang go this time. In the future, Wang will definitely be in love with you and repay you."
Chen Fang couldn't help laughing when he looked at Wang Jing's expression. This fat man is a famous perfect egoist in Shanghai. For him, interests are paramount. For him, you can do anything for the sake of benefiting face. Chen Fang thought for a while and said, "Director Wang, I know that it is unrealistic to ask you to make financial compensation. You don't meet our principles of doing things with the theater and distribution card. So I have a suggestion. After you finish "Macau Storm 3" next year, I'll help us make a few videos. Don't worry, the pay and commission will not treat you badly."
"Ah, how many videos?" Wang Jing asked in surprise. They thought that Chen Fang would propose this condition...
Chen Fang nodded: "Yes, let's do it. We agreed that whether you write the script yourself or buy scripts from the outside world, you only need three movies with a box office of over 300 million or one movie with a box office of over 1 billion."
Wang Jing and Wen Jun jointly opened a film and television company called Best Partner. When Wang Jing returned to the company, his partner Wen Jun came up to meet him.
"How are you talking today? Did Qin Mohan agree to film "Macau Storm 3""
"No." Wang Jing said listlessly.
"No, she is not satisfied with so many big names?" Wen Jun said dissatisfiedly: "Then why did they make things difficult for you?"
"I sold myself." Wang Jing then said to Wen Jun the conditions proposed by Chen Fang. He clearly remembered what Chen Fang said to him at that time: "We can discuss some conditions, but some things cannot be discussed, and undoubtedly this matter cannot be discussed."
I can be polite, but not respect. The so-called politeness is cultivation. I just don’t want to look like a robber or a villain, but it doesn’t mean I will really respect you. If you follow my wishes, everything is easy to say and be kind; but if you save my face, I will get angry. In Wang Jing’s opinion, this is probably the style of the children of the mainland big family.
Qin Mohan asked Chen Fang when he saw Wang Jing leave: "We really give Boya about 50 million compensation?"
"Not that much, but it's almost the same." Chen Fang smiled: "Wolf Totem" was an agreement signed by Broad Horse Film and Television before, but it has been fulfilled now; "Gardenia Blossom" was because our company lacked staff, so we cooperated with Boya. Teacher He made the first filming film, so he needed more elderly people to help."
Qin Mohan felt relieved after hearing Chen Fang's words. The Wild Fox Film and Television's stall this year is too big. Currently, the films that have been launched include "Wolf Totem", "Why Sheng Xiaomo", "Operation Mekong", "Soon That Year", and many TV series are filmed again. In addition, Han Xiaoxiao, Wen Muye, Han Xiaoxiao and others "City in Love". Each of them needs a shooting team, and the elderly also lead the team to assist in the filming. So the company is really a little stretched with He Jiong's "Gardenia Blossom". Thanks to Mr. He's generous, he found Huang Lei as the producer, and then borrowed a wave of people from Boya to form a group to solve this problem.
After dealing with Wang Jing's affairs, Chen Fang began to make arrangements for Xiang Tian, and he actually wanted to pull Qin Mohan to shoot a third-level film? Don't you know that Qin Mohan belongs to Chen Fang's forbidden body?
Chen Fang gave Lin Yue two boxes of red wine shipped from France. Lin Yue brought his son Lin Shaoxin to treat him to Yung Kee that night and personally thanked Chen Fang.
At the speed of Hong Kong paparazzi, the next morning, the photos of Chen Fang meeting with the big shots of the Hong Kong film and television industry were also published. While the outside world was speculating whether Chen Fang had any major moves in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, a news that shocked the Hong Kong entertainment industry came from the mainland.
"Beijing Culture" theater chain has completely terminated its cooperation with Huaxia Star Pictures. All videos that have been released or not will be released will be removed. Wanda theater chain also announced that it will adjust the film schedule for the films produced by Huaxia Star Pictures.
When the news reached Xiangjiang, Huaxing's stock price fell, giving Huaxing Film, a heavy blow to the already difficult one.
Just as Xiang Tai was eager to ask Lin Ziying to find out the news, Xiangjiang's famous entertainment magazine "Neon Weekly" published a news: According to the well-known director Wang Jing spoke truth after drinking, the reason why Huaxing film was adjusted this time was that the prince of Huaxing Film once spoke wildly and wanted to pull Chen Fang's wife Qin Mohan to film a third-level film, so he was banned in the mainland. Thinking of Wang Jing and Shen Fang having tasted afternoon tea together at the Peninsula Hotel, Xiang Tian was furious.
That night, Wang Jing was beaten by several gangsters on Nathan Road. The police arrived at the scene and the beaters had fled in all directions, only Wang Jing was lying there curled up like a mature shrimp. The police asked him if he knew who the beaters were and whether there was a suspect who could be identified. Wang Jing shook his head. After briefly dealing with his injuries in the hospital that night, he left Xiangjiang and hid in Shenzhen City. He then announced that several projects with Huaxing Pictures failed.
"Wang Jing asked someone to bring a message. Wang Jing dared to do things. This was not a complaint from him to Chen Shushou Rich. He said it after this incident happened. But if you sent someone to beat him, he was very angry. He decided to terminate the cooperation plan with several films with Huaying Company." Xiang Hua looked at Xiang Tian with a bruised nose in front of him and said with a grudge: "You won't use your brain. You dare to send someone to beat him at this time. Do you really think it's twenty years ago? You think it's still the same as before."
"So, we called the wrong person?" Xiang Tian, who was touched by the wound, took a breath. Xiang Tai next to him wiped tears at Xiang Hua with distress. This old man was so cruel that he could beat his own son half to death.
"You are talking about who was there that night." Xiang Hua glanced at Xiang Tai, then asked Xiang Tian.
Xiang Tian recalled again and said, "Only me, Lin Shaoxin and Fatty Wang, I saw this mainland man feeling uncomfortable that day, so I said a few dirty words, and we said it closed the door."
"Looking at the mainland boss, don't you know how powerful they are? Not to mention his power in the Beijing circle, just talk about the Shen family in Shanghai. They have been passed down for hundreds of years, and their foundation is something we can compare with?" Xiang Tai was a little angry and slapped him on the head, causing him to twitch: "I finally got into a relationship with Lin Ziying, and I can take advantage of some momentum, and you ruined it for me. Now that the stock price has plummeted, I am afraid that someone will buy it at the bottom."
"Stop saying anything." Xiang Hua said to Xiang Tai: "Wang Jing dares not to do this, but Lin Shaoxin dares. Huanya is now doing well by cooperation with the mainland. Even Zhou Xingxing's "Mermaid" is invested by Huanya's Wild Fox Company."
"Lin Shaoxin!" Xiang Tian said gritted his teeth, "That night, he was dissatisfied with me before the 'big fortune' was about to run, thinking that listening to me, letting the horse run ahead of time was a mistake. He didn't even look at it. The rider he was looking for could not even run away, and he was still a champion rider."
"Just know." Xiang Hua said to Xiang Tian: "We can only record this matter for the time being. You know, it is Huanya Lin family that makes the trip and cannot be told to the outside world. We are weak now and cannot have disputes with the Lin family anymore, so this matter is even on Wang Jing."
After saying that, Xiang Hua ordered Xiang Tai again: "You should ask Lin Ziying to help me hand me a message. I will take this rebellious son to apologize to Shen Fang. Now we have to rely on the mainland market to have a chance to revive. Now the Xiangjiang police are keeping a close eye on us. We have finally whitewashed it. Don't think about using those people in the past. You'd better be honest with me." The last sentence was an order to Xiang Tian.
Xiang Hua brought Xiang Tian to Shanghai. Not to mention Shen Fang, even Cai Ruiheng did not see him. Only Wang Yibing, the new deputy general manager of Jingcheng Culture, was responsible for the reception.
"Before the Spring Festival, the Beijing Cultural Cinemas have been scheduled for films. If Mr. Xiang doesn't mind, we can consider adding films to Huaxing Films as compensation after the Spring Festival."
"Compend your mother..." The situation is stronger than others, Xiang Hua could only bear it, and returned to the hotel and cursed Huan Yalin's family. Huan Ya is currently buying Huan Star. If there is no good news, Huan Star may be defeated by her own hands. In the end, Xiang Tai found Lin Ziying, which shortened the ban on Huaxia until New Year's Day. Huan Star's stock price successfully stopped falling, but it was too late.
Huanya Linyue has successfully acquired a large number of shares of Huaxing Film and announced a reconvene of the board of directors and received support from the majority shareholders. Lin Yue became the chairman of Huaxing Film and Television, which has been in power in Xiangjiang for nearly 40 years, changed hands overnight, and the dispute between the Xiang family and the Lin family was officially on the table.
