Chapter 902 regretful Xiangqiang

The Taotie House Future Building branch adopts a multi-hall structure with a total business area of ​​3,000 square meters.

The reception part of the restaurant consists of four dining areas of different sizes, which can accommodate customers ranging from 50 to 500 people.

These areas can be connected for external business, or a certain area can be closed separately according to customer needs to provide private services for specific customers.

For private dining, there will be a separate menu, which can be customized by the customer. It also includes specific drinks and refreshments.

Enjoying such personalized service is naturally expensive, but it is enthusiastically sought after by high-end customer groups. This makes the private customized service of the Taotie Home Future Building branch even more popular than that of Santai.

After the branch opened, it launched a private dining service, mainly targeting weddings, ceremonies, parties and business banquets.

Later, Youlian held a celebration banquet here for the film "A Lang's Story" to celebrate that the film broke the box office record of Hong Kong literary and artistic films, and scattered red envelopes to the crew here.

Since then, various film companies have also booked theaters here to hold premiere receptions or receptions after preview screenings.

As for the celebration banquet, there are relatively few held here, mainly because the red envelopes given out by Youlian at the celebration banquet were too large. After the specific details were exposed by reporters, it caused an uproar in the Hong Kong film and television industry.

If you are so precious, if the red envelopes prepared by other film and television companies are too different from this, I would be embarrassed to come here to serve wine. If someone brings it out for comparison, it will be too shameful.

At the premiere reception of "Ancient and Modern War", Xiang Qiang, accompanied by Fa Ge, talked with the main actors and crew members in the film.

He issued a verbal invitation, asking Zhang Yimou, Gong Li and Yu Rongguang to come to Xiangjiang when they were free and collaborate on several films together.

It's a pity that his Mandarin is very poor. Among the mainland actors present, Zhang Yimou and Yu Rongguang have practiced Cantonese for a while and can understand a little bit. Gong Li can only wait for someone else to translate.

Cheng Xiaodong and Liu Zhenwei are both local directors in Xiangjiang. Although they don't have many works now, the film and television circle in Xiangjiang is very small. They and Xiang Qiang knew each other before, and their communication was more casual.

Xiang Qiang does not have any special love for mainland artists, he just hopes to have more positive cooperation with various aspects in mainland China.

He is somewhat wary of being asked to co-produce movies with mainland China. Although the pressure exerted by Wanwan is much smaller than before, it still cannot be ignored by the boss of Xiangjiang Film and Television Company.

But given his status, there is no problem in inviting several mainland actors to come to Hong Kong to join the group to make movies.

After talking for a while, Xiang Qiang left them and walked to the other side of the venue. It was enough to chat with the mainland actor for a few words to show that he valued him, and it would be boring to talk more.

Chen Xinjian was talking to someone else. When he saw him approaching, he stepped out of the way and asked him to join in.

It turns out that Chen Xinjian and Xiang Qiang had opposing identities and were incompatible with each other. But now that he has entered the entertainment industry, Xiang Qiang is also working hard to clear his name and has the identity of Yongsheng boss, so the two meet many times in public.

I can also laugh and chat for a few words.

But both of them are people of status. Since they have different paths, there is no need to force it.

Chen Xinjian was active in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong for the rest of his life, but he never participated in a project led by Yong Sheng. Yong Sheng later produced quite a lot of production every year, but he was never invited to star in his own films.

This can be regarded as a kind of tacit understanding between the two parties.

The person Chen Xinjian was talking to at this time was Wu Siyuan, a famous director in Xiangjiang. He is better at shooting police and gangster films, and Chen Xinjian has worked with him several times. The two are similar in age and have a good relationship in private.

The two of them were talking about the acting skills of the mainland actors in "Ancient and Modern War", the location shooting, and the scheduling of the extras.

For the uninitiated, the film's three-part structure, time-travel theme, and the special effects shots that were much hyped some time ago are the film's biggest highlights.

For experts, these are like window paper. Once someone pierces it, it can be easily copied. To put it simply, the first two depend on the setting of the script, while the special effects require a lot of money.

What they are discussing now is relatively rare in Hong Kong movies. Both of them are directors, so they are more interested in these things.

After Xiang Qiang came in, the two of them turned the topic to Xiang Qiang.

"Boss Xiang wore this outfit today, presumably because he participated in the investment in the sequel to "God of Gamblers".

When Youlian made its official announcement at that time, no one in the industry thought that a movie based on the theme of "gambling" would actually have such great market potential, and could even form a new sub-category of movies.

Boss Xiang has such good eyesight and courage!"

Wu Siyuan's words can't be said to be flattering. When the League of Friendship was officially announced, not many people were optimistic about the project.

Even at that time, Youlian was already well-known in the industry. Even though the director was Wang Sanri, and the starring actors were Fa Ge, Simon Yam, Andy Lau, and the slightly famous Wan Bixia, everyone was still not optimistic about this project.

There is no need to elaborate on the result. Youlian led Yongsheng and Miss He's company, and made a lot of money among the broken eyeballs and chins on the ground.

Xiang Qiang was secretly proud, and a smile appeared on his stern face. However, his face soon drooped.

Chen Xinjian was born in CID, and it has almost become instinctive to observe people's emotions. He soon discovered that something was wrong with Xiang Qiang, so he asked: "Boss Xiang, do you still have any regrets?"

Xiang Qiang shook his head and said: "Today's film, I originally wanted to work with Youlian. But this film requires Hollywood to do a full set of post-production special effects, and the total cost exceeds 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

Moreover, this movie is a co-production with mainland China. Many shareholders in the company are worried that they will not be able to recoup their costs and will be suppressed by Wanwan, so we, Yongsheng, did not participate in the investment in this movie. Now it seems, hey...

!”

Xiang Qiang's words are correct. There has been an ongoing debate within Yongsheng about whether to participate in the investment of "Ancient and Modern Wars: The Love of Qin Terracotta Warriors".

The so-called shareholders of Yongsheng Film Company are actually other members of the Xiang family and some veterans of Xin Ngee Ann.

At that time, opinions within the company were divided. Although Xiang Qiang himself wanted to participate, most people in Yongsheng held objections. In order to appease everyone and balance the relationship within the company, Xiang Qiang finally made the decision that Yongsheng would not join the project.

Go in.

However, judging from the current performance, this project is likely to be successful, and Xiang Qiang will have some regrets in his heart.
