"Oh, it's Lin Qingxia!"
Ye Yuqing turned over and jumped off the horse, ran towards Lin Qingxia excitedly, and took the hand of the beautiful Lin to ask questions. Although the daughter of the Ye family came from a wealthy family, she had a special liking for the entertainment industry. If her brother Ye Zhiming had not stopped him, she would have gone to be an actor.
Lin Qingxia was so unbearable by Ye Yuqing's enthusiasm that she had to answer with a funny and perfunctory response, and then turned the topic to riding a horse in a few words.
"Sister Qingxia, you can't ride a horse? Let me teach you." Ye Yuqing had a bit of a cooked taste. She called her sister as soon as she met, and even pulled Lin Qingxia to teach her to ride a horse.
The last three women got together. Pan Disheng wanted to stay with Ziqiong Yang for a while, but he was really embarrassed to leave Kang Jianfei and Ye Zhiming to accompany the woman.
Pan Disheng originally found out that Ziqiong Yang liked to ride horses, so he made an appointment to enhance his feelings according to his preference. Unexpectedly, Ziqiong would call Lin Qingxia too, and he also brought a disturbance Kang Jianfei.
Now, the three women have become a circle, and the remaining three men can only talk about topics that are not nutritious.
After hearing that Pan Disheng was about to set up a film company, Ye Zhiming said deeply: "Mr. Pan also wants to invest in a film company? As a person who has experienced it, I will give you a piece of advice. Don't offend the Taiwan authorities, and it is best to have your own theater chain, otherwise you will always be controlled by others."
Pan Disheng just wanted to make some money by making movies and promote his brand by the way. Where would he have the idea of ​​establishing a theater chain? But Ye Zhiming was also kind-hearted. Pan Disheng couldn't help but appreciate it and smiled and said, "Thank you Mr. Ye for reminding me, I will pay attention."
"Mr. Kang has done a good job in this regard," Ye Zhiming said with admiration. "His dream factory was initially controlled by Princess Jin Cinemas, and later broke up with Lei Juekun to form a new era cinema. This trick is really a masterpiece."
Kang Jianfei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The theaters in the new era are too loose, and I can't do anything about many internal conflicts."
Ye Zhiming looked at Kang Jianfei and laughed: "Mr. Kang, don't hide it. You will definitely set up your own theater within half a year at the latest."
Anyone with discerning eyes in the circle can guess that Kang Jianfei wants to set up a theater company again. After all, Zhang Moren bought several properties to build a cinema, and you can find out after a little inquiry.
The three men rode their horses and slowly moved forward. After chatting around, Ye Zhiming suddenly asked: "Mr. Kang, I wonder what you think about the videotape distribution industry?"
Kang Jianfei replied without thinking too much: "As more and more people use home video recorders, there must be some tricks to release video tapes."
"Mr. Kang has a good vision," Ye Zhiming asked with a smile, "I wonder if Mr. Kang is interested in investing in a video tape distribution company?"
Kang Jianfei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and asked back: "Mr. Ye is going to do a videotape distribution?"
"I have this idea, but no one is willing to invest." Ye Zhiming said helplessly. His jeans business has collapsed in recent years, the film company has gone bankrupt, and he has lost all his real estate business. How can anyone dare to cooperate with him if he invests in any business?
Kang Jianfei also asked the horse to stop and seriously consider the feasibility of Ye Zhiming's idea.
Movie video tapes are one of the peripheral products of movies and account for a significant proportion of future movie profits, but Hong Kong is not very good at watching at this time, mainly because home video recorders are not very popular.
Nowadays, those who do movie videotapes are distributed in Hong Kong, and a large number of them are pirated merchants.
Kang Jianfei remembers that there is a very powerful entertainment company in Hong Kong called Meiya Entertainment, such as Yang Mi and Gigi Leung are the artists of this company. Meiya Entertainment was originally specialized in video tape distribution, and it grew rapidly in just a few years before it developed into a comprehensive entertainment company in three-dimensional manner.
Kang Jianfei is not an omniscient god. He doesn't know that Meiya Entertainment will be established in a few months, but he knows that videotape distribution is really a profitable business and can complement DreamWorks well.
After thinking about this, Kang Jianfei suddenly smiled and said, "If Mr. Ye has time tomorrow, it is better to come out and have afternoon tea together."
Ye Zhiming laughed: "I have nothing recently, I have a lot of time and am just looking for someone to have tea together."
The two of them had a tacit exchange, and Pan Disheng next to them also understood that Kang Jianfei was preparing to cooperate with Ye Zhiming. However, Pan Disheng did not interfere. He had little understanding of making movies, let alone video tape distribution business.
...
...
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Peninsula Teahouse.
Ye Zhiming savored the black tea and sighed: "Mr. Kang, you are a big deal this time. The advertisement for "Terminator" actually came to the Peninsula Hotel. The walls of the Peninsula Hotel have always been clean."
Kang Jian flew to the tea and added milk, laughed and said, "It's nothing, just give me some more money. As long as "Terminator" can be sold well in Hong Kong, then film manufacturers in Nanyang and Japan and South Korea will definitely rush to get it. This advertising fee can be easily earned."
The promotion of "Terminator" in Hong Kong has been going on for several days. As soon as the poster of this Hollywood science fiction movie was released, it immediately attracted great attention in Hong Kong.
The reason is no different, just because the most obvious position of "Terminator" in Hong Kong's promotional poster is - producer: Kang Jianfei!
That's right, Schwarzenegger, Linda, Hamilton, all have to stand aside, and the focus of the poster is actually the producer Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei really has no choice, because "Terminator" has no reputation in Hong Kong, except for Kang Jianfei, the producer, there is no way to promote it.
The most disgusting thing is that there is a line of words on the poster: "Mr. Kang Jianfei's overseas investment science fiction movie, Zhou Runfa, Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong, Zhang Guorong, Anita Mui, Chen Huimin... It is highly recommended that luxurious classics should not be missed."
There are a string of names of celebrities under Kang Jianfei on the poster. The names are printed very well and very conspicuously. The word "recommended" is pitifully small. At first glance, I thought these people were the leading actors. And after the release, many people were misled into the cinema after reading the names of celebrities on the poster...
The two of them came to the Peninsula Teahouse today, so they naturally not only talked about "Terminator".
Ye Zhiming explained his thoughts and said: "Now, the video tape markets in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and even the entire Southeast Asia and South Korea are all disorderly, and only Japan is more formal. This is an opportunity to release movie video tapes. Mr. Kang, you have DreamWorks as your support. Moreover, any movies released in theaters in the new era can be used as the source of video tape companies. Once the situation is opened, you can even monopolize the video tape industry in Hong Kong."
Kang Jianfei asked with a smile: "You have been talking about my advantages all the time, so what role can you play? Are you not afraid that I will leave you alone?"
"The world is endless money, and Mr. Kang, you already have many companies. How can you do a person have the energy to build a video tape distribution company?" Ye Zhiming said confidently, "You need to have a wide connection in this industry. I'm talking big here. Whether it's a movie under Jiahe or Yindu, as long as you have sufficient funds, I can get the copyright of the video tape."
"It's interesting." Kang Jianfei asked, "What kind of cooperation method Mr. Ye is going to do?"
Ye Zhiming said bluntly: "You come and pay the money, and leave all the remaining things to me. I want 40% of the company's shares."
Kang Jianfei said, "40% is too much. I can ask a professional manager to help me manage the company."
"Not much at all," Ye Zhiming put down his teacup and said, "The manager you paid for can I have my connections in Hong Kong for decades? Can I successfully obtain the videotape copyrights of other film companies? Can I easily spread the distribution channels? I can do all of these. To be honest, such cooperation can be more profitable than investing in a movie. If you give me millions, I will give you a large company that monopolizes the Hong Kong videotape market. 40% of the shares are not too much."
"I will give you at most 20% of the shares." Kang Jianfei said slowly, and Ye Zhiming was in a downturn, and no one would invest in him and cooperate with him.
Ye Zhiming sighed: "Mr. Kang still has no sincerity to cooperate."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, you said so many things are actually changing concepts. You have been emphasizing your incompetence, but you have ignored the importance of my cooperation. If you find someone else to cooperate, such as Pan Disheng yesterday, can you successfully get the right to release the movie videotape of DreamWorks? The answer is no. The movies produced by DreamWorks and the movies released by DreamWorks every year are not the largest, but they account for nearly one-third of the box office of the Hong Kong film market. This is the biggest capital I have taken out in our cooperation, rather than the millions I initially invested."
Ye Zhiming smiled bitterly in his heart. Kang Jianfei was really not easy to fool. He said, "Okay, I only have 30% of the shares."
Kang Jianfei continued to shake his head: "I said, at most 20%, there is no room for bargaining. If you can't accept it, you can go to find someone else to cooperate. At worst, I can open another video tape distribution company myself."
Ye Zhiming had no choice but to let go of Kang Jianfei's death. Not to mention that he could not find a business partner who was willing to invest, even if he could open the company, he would not be able to play with the film source without DreamWorks.
"Okay, I only have 20 shares, but I have the final say in the company management." Ye Zhiming finally gave in.
Kang Jianfei smiled proudly and said, "The company is yours in name, and it will be yours for a year. If someone knows that I am the company's major shareholder, the movies from Princess Jin and Jiahe, it may be difficult to buy the videotape distribution rights."
Ye Zhiming nodded and said, "I understand this."
The two talked about some details of their cooperation before shaking hands happily to say goodbye.
Chapter completed!
