During the establishment of Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group (hereinafter referred to as Oriental Group), Hong Kong welcomed the 4th Film Awards.
This year, DreamWorks was nominated the most. "Love in the City" starring Xu Anhua, Zhou Runfa and Chung Chuhong won 6 nominations including Best Picture and Best Director; "Public Servant" directed by Lee Soo-hyun won 5 nominations including Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor; and "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldier" directed by McDonald Bear is even more powerful, winning 9 nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Newcomer, and Best Screenwriter.
On the contrary, although Kang Jianfei's films were sold at the box office, the judges at the Academy Awards did not give any face at all, and they didn't even have a nomination. In addition, nonsensical grassroots comedy such as "Gambling Saint" and "Love Saint", it is enough to make money from Doudoule, and it really does not win the award compared to movies such as "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldier".
However, although Kang Jianfei's investment in "Terminator" did not win the Oscars, he swept three trophys at last year's Saturn Awards (Science Fiction Film Awards).
After the renovation of the third administrative building in Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City, Ye Zhiming's videotape company was officially moved in and merged with DreamWorks and Fengxing Records' distribution departments to become Oriental Entertainment Distribution Company.
Although Ye Zhiming is still the general manager of this company, he finds it a bit boring. He wants to specialize in the video tape business and monopolize Hong Kong's video tape business in the future. However, the news that Kang Jianfei is the company's major shareholder has long been known. In addition, the ban order of the Taiwan authorities has caused the video tape company's business to be reduced sharply and its development prospects are extremely bright.
Ye Zhiming was a strange man who was unwilling to fall under others. In another time and space, this man had billions of property in the mall when he was developing. He played Paijiu and won millions of times, but eventually he saw through the world and became a monk.
Now that he has become the general manager of Kang Jianfei's company, Ye Zhiming can only continue to work in this position, waiting for one day to see the business opportunity and make a comeback.
In the first two days of the Academy Awards ceremony, Kang Jianfei found Ye Zhiming, who had just moved into the administrative building No. 3: "Old Ye. I heard that you set up a resort on Qiaozui Island?"
"I thought you asked me to talk about the company," Ye Zhiming smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Don't mention Qiaozui Island Resort, I'm carrying a lot of debts for it."
Qiao Tsui Island is an offshore island belonging to the New Territories. If people in the downtown area of ​​Hong Kong Island want to go to Qiao Tsui Island, they either rent a boat and go directly from the sea. Or cross the sea and go to Saigon and take a fishing boat. It is so remote that it is so much troublesome that it is to go to Macau.
Before the real estate bubble burst, the jeans empire collapsed. Ye Zhiming, who was sold by the film company, raised tens of millions of dollars and was preparing to make a desperate attempt to develop Qiaozui Island Resort. As for the result, Ye Zhiming still owes a lot of debts and has not paid back. As for the resort on Qiaozui Island, it was only halfway through construction and was abandoned.
In the original time and space, Ye Zhiming would sell this resort with an investment of tens of millions in two years, and the price was astonishing...650,000.
Kang Jianfei said: "I know you are unwilling to help others manage the company. The merger of the company into Oriental Group is not the original intention of your cooperation. We are the same type of people, so we don't beat around the bush. Either I will buy the resort to help you pay off your debts. And you can help me manage the issuance company with peace of mind, or I will pay for the shares in your hands, and you will use the money to find another future."
Ye Zhiming didn't expect Kang Jianfei to speak so directly, which made it difficult for him to make a decision. He didn't expect that he would make a comeback in the future and had no confidence in his future, but he was used to being a boss and was really not used to working for others, although his salary for working was more than that of many small bosses.
After thinking about it, Ye Zhiming still succumbed to reality and said, "I chose the first one. How much do you want to spend to buy Qiaozui Island Resort?"
"What do you think?" Kang Jianfei asked back.
Ye Zhiming said: "I have invested more than 12 million yuan in Qiaozui Island Resort. Now the real estate industry in Hong Kong is recovering. How about selling it to you for 5 million yuan?"
Kang Jianfei refused to comment, but asked, "How much money do you owe now?"
"It's still a matter of 70% and 80% owed 30% and 40% owed." Ye Zhiming said lightly. He didn't take the millions seriously at all.
"Yes, only 5 million." Kang Jianfei agreed.
Ye Zhiming looked at Kang Jianfei with praise. No one would take over his resort, let alone selling 5 million yuan, even if it was only selling 500,000 yuan. Ye Zhiming clearly had a grudge. Since Kang Jianfei was so generous in his work, he would naturally do his best to help Kang Jianfei manage the issuing company well.
Kang Jianfei never does business to lose money. Although Qiaozui Island does not have much investment value within five, it has beautiful scenery and is far away from the city. It will definitely make money when building a resort in the 1990s.
Kang Jianfei actually didn't think about how much money he made. He wanted to spend some more money to buy the entire Qiaotzui Island, build a few luxury houses based on the original resort, and buy a yacht to travel between Hong Kong Island and Qiaotzui Island, treat Qiaotzui Island as a comfort nest for his own cultivation and relaxation.
After Kang Jianfei spent money to build Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City and bought land everywhere, he still had more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars in the bank, and it was useless to buy the entire Qiaotzui Island.
After calming down Ye Zhiming's heart, Kang Jianfei began to consider doing comics again.
Nowadays, Japanese comics have poured into Hong Kong. Domestic Cats, Dragon Balls and other things are very popular in Hong Kong, but they are still not worthy of occupying the market. Today, Hong Kong comics are still the mainstream of the market. "Dragon and Tiger Gate", "Bruce Lee" and "Chinese Heroes" are the hottest comics in Hong Kong.
A few years ago, Huang Yulang was in a prime time. The Yulang International he founded was dominating the world and asked Ni Fu to gain fame for his new magazine with a sky-high price.
Just last year, Shangguan Xiaobao and Shangguan Xiaowei withdrew from Yulang International, and the two of them set up their own business, and now they have formed a situation of three parts of the world. Of course, Huang Yulang's Yulang International still has a majority of the market share, and Shangguan Xiaobao and Shangguan Xiaowei Brothers League Wu Kangcao were all very reluctant to hold on.
Yulang International is planning to go public, and Huang Yulang will never sell it. If Kang Jianfei wants to enter the comics industry now, he can only choose to invest in Shangguan Xiaobao's Baeri Painting Club or Shangguan Xiaowei's Xiaowei Publishing House.
It is easy to make a choice between the Shangguan brothers. The 82 Painting Club mainly publishes kung fu comics such as "Bruce Lee" and "Fang Shiyu", while the Serena Publishing House focuses on thriller comics such as "The Blurred World". The audience of the latter is too narrow.
However, Kang Jianfei's idea was to buy all the 82 Painting Club and Serena Publishing House. He then found the cartoonist Shangguan Xiaolong, relying on the gimmick of the Shangguan brothers gathered together to cooperate with the release of the comic version of "The Journey of Ethereal" to resist Yulang International's "Chinese Heroes" and "Dragon and Tiger Gate".
...
An office building on Kaye Street, Hong Kong Island.
Shangguan Xiaobao whistled into his company. He had enough reason to be happy when he made a comeback. After receiving support from the publisher Tongde Book Newspaper and the printer Yousheng Printing Company, Shangguan Xiaobao finally re-run the 82 Painting Club and obtained the copyright of "Bruce Lee" from Yulang International.
"Boss, the sales of the latest episode of "Bruce Lee" was less than 20,000 copies." The assistant's words made Shangguan Xiaobao wake up from his pride.
Shangguan Xiaobao asked: "Where is "Chinese Heroes" and "Dragon and Tiger Gate"?"
The assistant followed Shangguan Xiaobao to change jobs from Yulang International, and was well-informed at Yulang International. He reported: "The sales of "Chinese Heroes" exceeds 40,000 copies, and the sales of "Dragon and Tiger Gate" are close to 40,000."
Ten years ago, the sales volume of "Dragon and Tiger Gate" was 100,000, and the sales volume of "Bruce Lee" reached more than 80,000 copies. Unfortunately, after the Hong Kong government investigated and rectified the comics industry, Hong Kong comics became slumped, and sales volume was directly reduced by half. In addition, Japanese comics eroded the market bit by bit, so the sales volume of Hong Kong comics was even smaller.
Other comics are published in the pictorial, with only three series of comics "Chinese Heroes", "Dragon and Tiger Gate" and "Bruce Lee" being the most famous. They are published independently from the Doll Newspaper and are sold in a 34-page full-color weekly magazine for each issue. Each book is priced at 8 yuan (at this time, the Hong Kong newspapers are priced at 1 yuan).
"Bruce Lee" is Shangguan Xiaobao's representative work and is also the signature of the 82 Painting Club. The sales are getting lower and lower, which really makes Shangguan Xiaobao a headache.
However, even if you have to make the comics even if you have a headache, you have to write them up, otherwise eating will become a problem, and Shangguan Xiaobao dived into the studio.
A few years ago, after Yulang International unified the Hong Kong comics, Huang Yulang carried out assembly line reforms to the creation of comics. He established departments necessary for the publishing industry such as printing, color separation, character planting, and nailing, and organized new printing machines and color separation machines to greatly improve the printing quality of comic books. In order to expand the company's production, Huang Yulang further divided the comics into drafts (drawing the composition), hook head (drawing the head of the figure), body crooked (drawing the body of the figure), filling the head (only responsible for the hair of the figure), etc. Each step is responsible for different painters.
Shangguan Xiaobao stayed at Yulang International for several years and learned this assembly line. Although his 82 painting club was small, it was quite regular in comic production.
There were a total of six people in the painting club, including Shangguan Xiaobao, who began to create them every day.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
"Come in!" Shangguan Xiaobao didn't raise his head, and the brush in his hand never stopped.
The assistant said: "Boss, a Mr. Zeng called you and said he was asking you for dinner on behalf of Mr. Kang Jianfei."
Shangguan Xiaobao suddenly raised his head, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and asked in surprise: "Who did you say ask me for dinner?"
The assistant repeated: "Mr. Kang Jianfeikang, I'll ask you to have dinner at Fulinmen at 7 o'clock tomorrow."
"What did Kang Jianfei ask me for?" Shangguan Xiaobao was confused. He had no intersection with Kang Jianfei at all, and he really couldn't think of why the other party was looking for him.
Is DreamWorks going to make the comic "Bruce Lee" a movie?
