Zeng Zhiwei's mind kept wavering, unable to decide between staying or leaving. Finally, his car turned around and drove towards Hong Jinbao's house.
Hung Kam-bo is famous for his loyalty and reliability in the film industry. Even before he became popular, he wanted to form the Hong Family Class. He just said hello and countless people came to join him. Tsang Chi-wei was the one who joined Hung Kam-bo at that time. He was originally
People from the Liu family class.
When Zeng Zhiwei changed his career to become a screenwriter, he received support from Hong Jinbao. Later, when he was choosing between DreamWorks and New Arts City, it was Hong Jinbao who also helped him.
Now that Zeng Zhiwei had something to do and couldn't make up his mind, he subconsciously wanted to ask Hong Jinbao for help.
Zeng Zhiwei waited for four or five hours at Hong Jinbao's house before Hong Jinbao came back from the set. As soon as he saw Zeng Zhiwei, he joked: "Hey, what kind of wind brought Manager Zeng here today?"
"The winds from the east, west and northwest have blown my mind." Zeng Zhiwei sighed.
Hong Jinbao said cheerfully: "DreamWorks is really great this summer. In June, a low-cost "Pretty Girl" sold at the box office of tens of millions, and in July, "A Better Tomorrow" was another hit. The audience's money was all over the place.
It's in the pocket of DreamWorks, why do you, the production manager, sigh?"
Zeng Zhiwei changed the topic and asked: "Brother Sanmao, when will your "Fat Dragon Crossing the River" be released?"
Hong Jinbao said: "In one week's time, once the box office of "Plan A" is weak, "The Fat Dragon" will take over. "A Better Tomorrow" is too ruthless. I hope it can dissipate the fire by then, otherwise I wouldn't dare
Compete with it for box office."
After Zeng Zhiwei exchanged pleasantries, he suddenly said: "Brother Sanmao. Today Boss Lei said that he would help me invest in opening a film company. Do you think I should agree?"
"Lei Juekun is looking for you?" Hong Jinbao asked with some disbelief. "Princess Jin has a cooperative relationship with DreamWorks. Isn't he afraid that Kang Jianfei will fall out with him?"
Zeng Zhiwei said: "Of course he is not afraid, Golden Princess has been stable in the past two years. Even if DreamWorks' movies are not released in Golden Princess, Golden Princess will only make less money at most, and there is no shortage of film sources. And DreamWorks has box office several times in a row.
During the war, there was a stalemate with Jiahe, and it was basically impossible to cooperate with Jiahe, so we had no choice but to stay at Golden Princess."
"Just make less money? DreamWorks is now a money-making machine. Princess Jin is guarding a treasure mountain." Hong Jinbao sighed, "Secretly tearing down his business partners. It seems that Boss Lei has tolerated Kang Jianfei for a long time.
.”
(Lao Wang makes a complaint here: Some readers said why Kang Jianfei fought with Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai, and also said that Shao Yifu's connections could block Kang Jianfei's company. This book is based on Infinite YY.
If Shao Yifu was really that powerful, Shaw Brothers Pictures would not have stopped production. In any industry, there must be rules, such as arson, kidnapping, murder, etc. Those are the last resort used by those who are desperate. Otherwise, you can't
If you set fire, I will also set fire. Everyone’s film library company has been burned down, so what a joke!)
Zeng Zhiwei said: "Friction is inevitable, and couples still have to quarrel."
Hong Jinbao said with a smile: "If Boss Lei only had Golden Princess Cinema, his relationship with DreamWorks would probably be as sweet as honey now. Unfortunately, Boss Lei is also the largest shareholder of Xinyi City, so he and Kang Jianfei are partners
.It's a competitive relationship again. I guess Lei Juekun himself is very awkward and doesn't know whether to support DreamWorks or suppress DreamWorks, so he warned Kang Jianfei by poaching people."
Zeng Zhiwei asked doubtfully: "But this kind of warning has no meaning?"
Hong Jinbao guessed: "I guess this is just the beginning. Princess Jin will probably reduce the number of screenings and events of DreamWorks films in the future, and then work hard to support New Arts City's films."
Zeng Zhiwei's mind became even more confused. He said: "The box office of DreamWorks movies is the largest source of income for Golden Princess Cinema. Isn't Lei Juekun doing this to himself?"
Hong Jinbao was also a little confused and said: "Who knows what the big bosses are thinking. It is probably because DreamWorks' performance is too strong and it is a bit overshadowed. I have also worked with Lei Juekun. This person seems
As generous as Mr. Zou is, in fact, he is the same kind of person as Shao Daheng. If you do business with this kind of person, he has to control everything. Look at Princess Jin and Xinyi City, as well as my previous
Which one of Jinbao Film Company and other film companies currently invested by Lei Juekun does not have his absolute control?"
Zeng Zhiwei asked: "Then what should I do?"
Hong Jinbao helped him analyze: "You and I don't have the ability of Shao Daheng, Mr. Zou and Kang Jianfei. If we want to get involved in the Hong Kong film industry, we need the support of others. In addition to our own abilities, we also have the ability to
It’s about popularity.”
Zeng Zhiwei nodded. A small person like him who climbed up from the bottom must rely on his own efforts and the support of big people.
Hong Jinbao continued: "So it doesn't matter which side you choose. The important thing is not to break up with anyone. This can also be regarded as leaving a way out for yourself."
Zeng Zhiwei said: "I don't want to fall out with Mr. Kang."
Hong Jinbao smiled and said: "If you leave DreamWorks this time to cooperate with Princess Jin, and you want to leave alone, as long as you take your subordinates with you, Kang Jianfei will definitely treat you as an enemy."
Zeng Zhiwei immediately understood what Hong Jinbao wanted to say.
Hong Jinbao led the Hong family class to cooperate with Princess Jin, and now he can leave Princess Jin and return to Jiahe. The most important thing is that he did not take Jiahe with him.
And now if Zeng Zhiwei leads people to leave DreamWorks, those people are not trained by him. It is still a matter of debate whether they will follow him or not. Even if they do, Kang Jianfei will hate him to the core.
Hong Jinbao continued: "When Zou Wenhuai left Shaw Brothers, he took away a group of key people. After that, Shaw Brothers and Jiahe were fighting each other. Once you take people away, Kang Jianfei will definitely suppress you just like Shaw Brothers suppressed Jiahe.
"
Zeng Zhiwei replied: "Mr. Kang is very good at making movies. Even if Boss Lei favors me, I will definitely not be able to compete with him for theaters. Kang Jianfei will not have to do anything else at that time. He will only compete with you for theaters during good times. You say you
what to do?"
Zeng Zhiwei breathed out. He basically had a choice in his mind. He knew that Kang Jianfei was very good at making movies. Unless Lei Juekun and Kang Jianfei completely fell out, he would not ignore Princess Jin's interests and help him too much.
After leaving DreamWorks, it's okay to start your own company to make a small amount of money. Because Golden Princess Cinema already has DreamWorks and New Arts City, and the company run by Zeng Zhiwei is caught in the middle, so it's impossible to grow any bigger.
To make a small amount of money, Zeng Zhiwei can just stay at DreamWorks, why bother hanging around with Lei Juekun?
Thinking of this, Zeng Zhiwei's thoughts suddenly became clear, and he felt extremely relaxed. He smiled and said: "Brother Sanmao can see clearly, I decided to stay in DreamWorks."
Hong Jinbao said: "Just think about it clearly. Just keep this kind of thing in your stomach and don't offend Boss Lei."
Hong Jinbao's suggestion was good, but Zeng Zhiwei did not intend to hide the matter. He wanted to continue to climb up in DreamWorks, so he had to express his sincerity.
The next morning, Zeng Zhiwei's secretary quietly ran into his office and reported: "Manager, Mr. Kang is here at the company!"
Zeng Zhiwei immediately put down his work, straightened his clothes, and quickly came to Kang Jianfei's office.
Kang Jianfei was in a good mood recently and asked with a smile: "What's the matter?"
Zeng Zhiwei said: "Mr. Kang, the post-production of "The Royal Sisters 2" has been completed, and Xu Anhua's "Journey to the Wrath" is ready to start filming next week."
"You can just report these to Pan Yingzi and Ma Qiao. You don't need to notify me." Kang Jianfei asked, "Tell me, what else do you want?"
Zeng Zhiwei suddenly said in a low voice: "Mr. Kang, yesterday Lei Juekun suddenly invited me out for dinner, saying that he would invest in me to start a company, and asked me to bring people out from DreamWorks."
Kang Jianfei frowned and sneered: "Is this old guy suffering from Alzheimer's disease? He doesn't want to poach Jiahe's people, but he is making plans for me. Who is he trying to trick?"
Zeng Zhiwei stopped and said, "Mr. Kang, I'm going out then."
"Well," Kang Jianfei nodded towards him, "You have done a good job in this matter. Work hard in the future and I will not treat you badly."
Zeng Zhiwei left the office with a smile, but the smile on Kang Jianfei's face suddenly disappeared, thinking: It seems that Lei Juekun has a big appetite!
Kang Jianfei did not look for the reason from himself, nor did he think that Lei Juekun would be unhappy if he crossed the river and burned the bridge too quickly. In fact, his original behavior was not called crossing the river and burning the bridge, but to fight for his own interests, but these interests
But they were snatched from Lei Juekun's mouth - such as taking back overseas distribution rights from Princess Jin's distribution company, such as increasing the share of Hong Kong box office, etc.
Although Kang Jianfei likes yin people, his real style of doing things is extremely tough. He almost always pushes people back step by step. However, he always pays attention to the sense of proportion and will not push people to the point of no retreat, otherwise the rabbit will be anxious.
You also have to bite people, and leaving a way out for the enemy also leaves a way out for yourself.
But Lei Juekun is also a hardliner. Before he didn't settle the score with Kang Jianfei, it was because Princess Golden was not yet stable. Now Princess Golden Cinema has developed to the point where it can operate perfectly without the need for DreamWorks.
Kang Jianfei's guess was similar to Hong Jinbao's. He believed that Golden Princess Cinemas would definitely suppress DreamWorks step by step until DreamWorks could no longer stand it and begged for mercy.
Lei Juekun will not directly refuse to screen DreamWorks films. Firstly, this will offend the interests of other shareholders of Princess Jin. Secondly, it will force Kang Jianfei to go to Jiahe. His steps should be to boil the frog in warm water and compress it bit by bit.
DreamWorks’ living space without leaving too much to say.
It’s time to have your own cinema line!
Kang Jianfei sighed in his heart. Unfortunately, he had just bought a TV station and had no extra money to buy a theater chain.
How about making two low-cost movies in Hollywood to earn some US dollars to spend? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone
