Chapter 330: Poaching the corners of Jiang to control the force (12,000 daily changes~)
China Entertainment Started in 198o Text Volume Chapter 330: Poaching Jiang Zhiqiang When mentioning Hong Kong movies, many people’s first impression is of those dazzling stars in the short-lived glory of Hong Kong movies for 20 to 30 years.
Or maybe it's a film company like Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, New Arts City, or Yongsheng, which has produced countless high-quality films.
Jiang Zhiqiang is rarely mentioned, but he is known as the boss behind the scenes in later generations.
The success of Li Min's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Lust, Caution" is inseparable from Jiang Zhiqiang's behind-the-scenes investment. Zhang Yimou's "Hero" was able to be released overseas because of his contribution, even though it once occupied the domestic box office No. 1 for a period of time.
The famous "Monster Hunt" was also invested and produced by him.
Liu Feng can no longer be used, and Jiang Zhiqiang is the substitute Wu Jianye found for Liu Feng, but Jiang Zhiqiang is not easy to invite.
The well-known theater chains in Xiangjiang include Fengge Cinema Line, which is now owned by Fengge Entertainment, Jiahe Cinema Line, and Golden Princess Cinema Line in Xinyi City.
In fact, there is another theater chain that is relatively niche but cannot be ignored, and that is Jiang's Broadway Cinema Line.
However, Broadway theaters only played Western films and not Hong Kong films, so it was rarely mentioned in later generations.
The owner of the Broadway theater chain is Jiang Zhiqiang's father, Jiang Zuyi.
Although Jiang Zhiqiang was an extremely low-key person in later generations, the place where Jiang Zhiqiang and Wu Jianye met now was the famous Big Rich Nightclub in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong.
"Wu Sheng, I've heard of you for a long time!" Jiang Zhiqiang bowed his hands to Wu Jianye angrily.
Jiang Zhiqiang is not tall and has a cynical attitude on his face.
"Jiang Sheng, nice to meet you!" Wu Jian said as the Romans did in the countryside at night.
"Mama-sang, hurry up and call your most beautiful beauties in. I'm entertaining friends today!" Jiang Zhiqiang said carelessly.
"Second Young Master Jiang, of course we have to call the most beautiful one here." Sister Xia, a rich man, smiled coquettishly, and her body trembled along with it. It was very spectacular.
Jiang Zhiqiang has not yet taken over from his father. There is an older brother above him. He will wait for two years to show his strength in front of his father before he will squeeze out his older brother and become the boss of Jiangjia Anle Pictures.
successor.
"Wu Sheng, I'm a bit straight-talking, don't mind." After speaking, Jiang Zhiqiang glanced at Wu Jianye. When Wu Jianye smiled and said nothing, he didn't care, and continued: "I didn't expect Wu Sheng and Yu
The investment has something to do with it, I wonder what Wu Sheng wants to do with me, an idler, this time?"
"I heard that Jiang Sheng is very interested in Hollywood movies. The Broadway theater at home specializes in showing Hollywood movies. I wonder if Jiang Sheng has heard of Phantom Entertainment, a new movie company in Hollywood?"
Jiang Zhiqiang's eyes lit up. Just as Wu Jianye said, he has always been very interested in Hollywood movies. In the past two years, almost all the Hollywood movies shown on Broadway theaters came from him, so he naturally understood Hollywood.
.
As a newly emerging independent production company in Hollywood, Phantom Entertainment has successfully produced several blockbuster movies, and they are all series of movies.
For example, the "Home Alone" series that is now well-known in Hollywood is Phantom Entertainment's golden signature, and "Terminator" has caused a sensation in the video tape market. It is rumored that Phantom Entertainment has partnered with the film's director James Cameron and starring Arnold Schneider
Wasinger signed a contract and was preparing to produce the second "Terminator", and many Hollywood companies were eyeing this piece of fat.
There are even rumors that Phantom Entertainment has started to produce an animated film about the African savanna. Although we don’t know how the movie will be at the box office, Phantom Entertainment has used its previous success to tell North American audiences that Phantom Entertainment has invested and
The movies produced all have the potential to be big hits.
"Wu Sheng, are you related to Phantom Entertainment?" Jiang Zhiqiang put away his previous dissipation and sat up straighter.
"It has something to do with it, but I don't know if Jiang Sheng is interested..." Wu Jianye threw out his own bait.
"Haha, if Wu Sheng can really help contact Phantom Entertainment, our Anle Pictures will definitely not let Wu Sheng down!" At this time, Jiang Zhiqiang regarded Wu Jianye as a broker.
"It's just that I heard that Jiang Sheng is not the talker in Anle Pictures. I just don't know if Jiang Sheng's words are effective in Anle Pictures?" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Jiang Zhiqiang's eyes flashed sternly, and then he laughed: "Wu Sheng, let's open the skylight and speak frankly. I'm afraid you are not coming to me alone this time to introduce a business to me. As far as I know Wu
The relationship between Sheng and Fengge Entertainment seems to be closer!"
Wu Jianye is no longer a transparent person in the Hong Kong film industry at this time. It is no secret that a mainland director has a close relationship with Fengge Entertainment, one of the largest film companies in Hong Kong.
"The main market of Fengge Entertainment is still films from Hong Kong. It is naturally more reliable for western films to cooperate with Broadway theaters!" Wu Jianye did Tai Chi, and then continued to stimulate Jiang Zhi: "I know Jiang Sheng, I have always
They all have a soft spot for Western films, but looking at the situation now, the Broadway show seems to be somewhat deviated from Jiang Sheng's ideas."
Jiang Zhiqiang's brows were already furrowed, "Wu Sheng, if you are here to provoke me, Jiang, I don't think we need to continue talking!"
Wu Jianye smiled nonchalantly and said, "Jiang Sheng, do you know how many theaters Fengge Entertainment has in Xiangjiang now?"
Jiang Zhi suppressed his anger and said, "Twenty-six families!"
"Yes, these 26 theaters are a bit too big if they only screen Hong Kong films. If Fengge Cinemas is willing to separate eight theaters to exclusively screen Western films and some literary films, what does Jiang Sheng think?"
For these eight theaters, Wu Jianye will definitely not use the newly built theaters of Fengge Entertainment to show them, but will use the theaters of the original Shaw Theater chain to show them. This is also a little trick played by Wu Jianye, although Shaw Theater
Line signed a five-year lease contract with Fengge Entertainment.
But this is a lease, not your own. Sooner or later, it will be returned to Shaw Brothers. When Wu Jianye came to Xiangjiang this time, the most important task was to acquire ATV.
As long as ATV is acquired by Fengge Entertainment, the honeymoon period of the cooperation between Fengge Entertainment and Shaw Brothers will be over. When the lease time expires in the future, according to Sir Shaw's character, he will definitely not bring Shaw Brothers theaters to the market again.
Sixteen of its cinemas are leased to Fengge Entertainment.
However, at this time, half of the theaters have already left the impression of showing Western and literary films in ordinary movie-going centers. No matter which film company takes over in the future, they will have a headache.
Jiang Zhiqiang is now more and more confused about why Wu Jianye is looking for him. If he says that he is here to stimulate him, it doesn't make sense. The two of them had never met each other before. If there is any grudge, Wu Jianye cannot be idle.
My balls hurt to stimulate myself.
But what does he mean by what he says now?
"Wu Sheng, let's open the skylight and talk openly. Why did you come to me this time?"
Wu Jianye smiled, knowing that the heat was almost there, "Jiang Sheng, in my opinion, your ability should not be limited to simply importing Western films or an Anle Pictures that does not have the ability to produce independent films. Your stage should be
Bigger!”
Jiang Zhiqiang's eyes lit up. At this time, he had slowly realized some of Wu Jianye's meaning, but two things troubled him and made him unable to believe that this was true.
"Wu Sheng, what do you mean..."
Wu Jianye put down the foreign wine in his hand and said with a smile: "Yes, I came here just to hope that Jiang Sheng can serve as the general manager of Fengge Entertainment and be responsible for managing all the affairs of Fengge Entertainment in Xiangjiang."
"Wu Sheng, to put it bluntly, your position in Fengge Entertainment has always been a mystery in Xiangjiang. Also, my father is the big boss of Anle Pictures, but now you ask me to go
Managing another film company..."
"I can answer Jiang Sheng one by one for these two questions. The big boss of Fengge Entertainment is actually me, and I am fully controlled by myself. Therefore, Jiang Sheng is not interested in inviting Jiang Sheng to be the general manager of Fengge Entertainment.
There needs to be no doubt whatsoever.”
"As for the second question, I think Jiang Sheng's status in Anle Pictures does not require me to repeat it. Your father should think more highly of your brother. Cao Zhi once said an ancient story about boiling beans and burning beans.
If Jiang Sheng wants to become the successor of Anle Pictures, he will definitely have to fight with his brother. In my opinion, Jiang Sheng might as well find another way and become the general manager of Fengge Entertainment to show your talents to your
Father."
Jiang Zhiqiang felt some sweat on his forehead, pretended to wipe it casually, and said: "Wu Sheng, aren't you worried that I am in Cao Ying and my heart is in Han, so I will join forces with Anle Pictures to annex Fengge Entertainment?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "If Fengge Entertainment was so easy to annex, it would not have become one of the largest film companies in Hong Kong. As for Jiang Sheng, I myself will be appointed as the deputy manager at Fengge Entertainment.
..."
"Imperial envoy!"
"Almost, but he will not interfere with Jiang Sheng's decision. He will only take action officially when Jiang Sheng is ready to betray Fengge Entertainment!"
Wu Jianye said bluntly.
Jiang Zhiqiang fell into silence, his eyes flickering. Obviously Wu Jianye's proposal had touched his heart. As one of the largest film companies in Hong Kong, Fengge Entertainment, as long as he becomes the general manager of Fengge Entertainment, he
He rose to the top in one fell swoop and became one of the most powerful figures in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong.
And the father who used to be dismissive of him will definitely look at him differently.
"I can agree to Wu Sheng's invitation, but I personally hope to invest in Fengge Entertainment!" Jiang Zhiqiang said.
"I wonder how much money Jiang Sheng has? Although Fengge Entertainment is not listed, I don't need to tell you the value of Fengge Entertainment. Jiang Sheng must also know it!"
"Ten million!" Jiang Zhiqiang spit out a number. This was the limit of what he could borrow. He even had to borrow part of it from his father, but he believed that if his father knew that he could invest in Fengge Entertainment,
, I am definitely very willing to take out this money.
"Yes, Jiang Sheng's 10 million can be used as 0.8% of Fengge Entertainment's shares, but I also have a condition. If Jiang Sheng wants to leave Fengge Entertainment in the future, he must sell these 0.8% shares to Fengge
For entertainment, of course, the market price will also be calculated based on the market value of Fengge Entertainment at that time!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Jiang Zhiqiang calculated the market value of Fengge Entertainment, and then smiled: "Then I will call Wu Sheng Boss Wu!"
"Happy cooperation!" Wu Jianye picked up the wine glass and said with a smile.
As for Liu Feng, the current general manager of Fengge Entertainment, Jiang Zhiqiang did not ask how Wu Jianye would deal with it, nor did he need to ask. He believed that if Wu Jianye could not even handle this, he would not be able to do it quietly.
Xiangjiang created such a big industry.
One of the most important points, which Jiang Zhiqiang did not mention, is that Fengge Entertainment is not just a simple entertainment company.
Everyone in Xiangjiang knows that Fengge Entertainment is owned by Yaoguang Group. The Yaoguang hurricane that Yaoguang Group caused in Xiangjiang last year is still vivid in his mind.
Wu Jianye now says that Fengge Entertainment is his industry, doesn’t that mean that the entire Yaoguang Group is...
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiqiang's heart couldn't help but beat violently.
As for 10 million Hong Kong dollars, you can only get 0.8% of the shares of Fengge Entertainment. This is already very good for Jiang Zhiqiang. In his plan, 10 million Hong Kong dollars may even get 0.5% of Fengge Entertainment.
You can't even get the shares, because everyone knows that the real assets of Fengge Entertainment are the major movie theaters that are still being built in Hong Kong and even throughout Southeast Asia...
After the business talk was over, the two men naturally chatted about some romantic matters in the nightclub. However, Wu Jianye didn't have much interest in the women in the nightclub now, and they just chatted casually for fun.
After the two of them finished at Monopoly, Jiang Zhiqiang looked at Wu Jianye who had already left in the car. He did not take the woman next to him to the hotel, but returned directly to his ancestral home.
One is to ask your father to borrow money!
Second, go back and show off!
Doesn’t it mean that I am idle every day and do not do my job properly?
In a few days, I will be the general manager of the largest film company in Hong Kong.
After Jiang Zuyi heard the news, he couldn't calm down for a long time. He didn't expect that his youngest son, whom he had never liked, would turn around and become the general manager of Fengge Entertainment.
However, Jiang Zuyi was not so confused that he did not lend money to Jiang Zhiqiang for this matter. He even asked his youngest son whether 10 million was enough...
As for Wu Jianye, he invited brothers Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long the next day. They had saved him, so he would naturally invite them when he came to Xiangjiang this time.
The place to eat and drink is still Yong Kee.
However, Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long and others drank too much, and Wu Jianye drank heavily for two days in a row, so they were a little dizzy when they walked out of the hotel.
The driver sent by Yanwen wanted Wu Jianye to get in the car and rest, but Wu Jianye wanted to blow some air to sober up.
In fact, this is a sign of drinking too much, because normal people know that if you drink too much, you will be more likely to catch wind.
Wu Jianye was in such a situation. After walking a few steps, he looked at the neon lights on the streets of Xiangjiang and felt even more confused. He even had a feeling of nausea. At this time, he had forgotten about the car following him and saw all the lights around him.
There was a taxi parked and I got in directly.
But he didn't even notice that a young girl had just gotten into the taxi and was about to close the door.
"Hey, hey...what are you doing?"
The girl who was the first to sit down in the car looked at Wu Jianye who squeezed in with some horror, showing a hint of panic, but at this time Wu Jianye was already drunk, got into the car, and fell asleep directly...
