"The Opium War" was invested by Jiahe, and he was the person in charge, so he understood what was going on.
Rather than saying that Jiahe took a fancy to this project, it is better to say that Zou Wenhuai wanted to flatter him.
With $15 million thrown out, Jiahe didn't expect to make any profit.
The people of Hong Kong in this era look down on the mainland, and they don’t think the mainland can produce any good movies.
Even if the director is Xie Qi.
At the beginning of last year, Feng Wanqian approached Jiahe Company to seek investment.
The person in charge of this matter at that time was An Junxi.
However, he disliked Feng Wanqian's stinky, long and boring action movies, so he secretly decided to cut the budget for Feng Wanqian by 30%.
So he was assigned by Zou Wenhuai and put in charge of this project that obviously had no future.
This made An Junxi very frustrated, and he was already thinking about finding a way out in private.
But if you offend Feng Wanqian and defect to Jiahe, will you still have a foothold in the film industry in Xiangjiang in the future?
The future is gloomy, making An Junxi extremely pessimistic.
Just when he was about to lose hope completely, Xiao Qian came, bringing the brilliance of Fu Ji Tai Lai.
Originally, An Juanxi sneered at Xiao Qian's troubles, thinking that a little brat who didn't understand anything simply had money and no place to spend it.
But today, here, after watching the trailer of the movie, An Junxi immediately came back to life with full blood.
He has been responsible for film investment in Golden Harvest for more than 20 years.
It can be said that his shadow can be found in most of the popular movies produced by Golden Harvest.
This experience has created his unparalleled appreciation ability. He can tell immediately whether a movie will be popular after just watching it once.
This is also the reason why he is unwilling to invest in Feng Wanqian.
Xie Qi and Long Jinhai only looked at this video from a technical perspective, but as a businessman, An Juanxi only had eyes for the market.
In his opinion, "The Opium War", which has been transformed by Xiao Qian in this way, already has all the commercial elements to capture the market.
Audiences of all ages will be conquered by this kind of film.
There is currently no movie of this type in the world, and "The Opium War" truly ranks first in the world.
He even predicted that when "The Opium War" is released, the works that follow the trend will be like a crucian carp crossing the river.
"Boss, I think we should re-examine "The Opium War". If possible, I hope you... you'd better meet Xiao Qian in person. This young man will definitely be the king of Chinese movies in the future."
After finding a place where no one was around, An Junxi called Zou Wenhuai and evaluated Xiao Qian sincerely.
On the other end of the phone, Mr. Zou was silent for a moment before replying briefly.
"I know."
After the filming of the Taizhou scene was completed, the crew did not have any time to rest and moved directly to Hengdian.
"Mr. Xiao, how's it going? Does it meet your requirements?"
Standing in front of the Guangzhou Street set, Xu Minrong was in high spirits, looking like a child waiting for praise.
Xiao Qian looked at all the scenery inside and out, and gave Xu Minrong a thumbs up sincerely.
"People say Mr. Xu is a hero, and the rumors are indeed true. It is our honor to be able to cooperate with Mr. Xu. In the future history of the Chinese film and television industry, there will definitely be a monument for you, Mr. Xu."
Xu Minrong put her hands on her hips and laughed.
"Being able to follow Mr. Xiao and do our part for national affairs is the highest honor for us Hengdian people."
Well, with this awareness, no wonder Xu Minrong can develop into a big boss.
As he spoke, dust was flying in the distance, and a convoy of vehicles rushed closer like bandits.
At first glance, they are all luxury cars with extraordinary momentum.
After a while, I saw a large group of people approaching, surrounded by an old man with gray hair and a slim figure.
A man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses walked quickly forward and greeted Xiao Qian.
"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Zou Wenhuai from Xiangjiang is here."
Xiao Qian was in a daze, never expecting to meet this big boss one day.
However, he has met too many big names now. Although Zou Wenhuai is famous, it is not enough to shock him.
Over there, Zou Wenhuai, surrounded by a large group of people, was approaching with a cane.
"Hello, Mr. Xiao, I am Zou Wenhuai."
The old gentleman's tone of voice was neither hurried nor slow, and he had an air of dignity. He was neither arrogant nor domineering, but he also avoided strangers.
Xiao Qian shook hands with him.
"Mr. Zou, welcome to the mainland."
Zou Wenhuai has been observing Xiao Qian and is very curious about this young man.
He knew about Xiao Qian a long time ago, when everyone knew about the incident with Feng Wanqian.
Zou Wenhuai was very curious as to who gave him the courage to conflict with Feng Wanqian, a young boy.
You must know that in Xiangjiang, even a big boss like him would not dare to offend Feng Wanqian easily.
For this reason, Zou Wenhuai investigated Xiao Qian's background in private. After learning about it, he told people that this young man was not simple.
But in the past, he only thought that Xiao Qian's background was not simple, and did not think that Xiao Qian himself was anything special.
Someone like him, who has been in the film industry for decades and has only made a few TV series, cannot fall under his radar.
It wasn't until Xiao Qian participated in the production of "The Opium War" and An Juanxi sent back first-hand information about Starlight Culture that Zou Wenhuai was shocked to discover that at some point, an entertainment culture company of such a scale had arisen in mainland China.
In terms of market value and industry breadth alone, Starlight Culture has surpassed Jiahe.
The only difference is that Starlight Culture has not entered the film industry before.
"I saw the trailer sent back by Manager An. I really didn't expect that our Chinese films have such powerful technology. Mr. Xiao, we can work together more in the future."
The clips that Xie Qi, Long Jinhai and An Juanxi had seen, Zou Wenhuai had also seen. Otherwise, how could this big boss come to Hengdian so eagerly?
Anyone who makes movies knows how powerful the technology used in "The Opium War" is.
This kind of technology is currently not available in Hollywood, and it is definitely second to none in the world.
Zou Wenhuai and An Junxi have the same view, that is, investing in "The Opium War" will not only prevent you from losing money, but may also make you a fortune.
This is a huge unexpected surprise.
Being able to participate in national affairs, express your attitude and make money at the same time, this is called taking advantage of all the good things.
"Mr. Xiao, I have decided to carry out comprehensive promotion of this film in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. The proceeds will definitely take care of the interests of everyone in the mainland."
Zou Wenhuai made a solemn promise, and the meaning of friendship in it was beyond words.
Of course Xiao Qian is happy.
The goodwill expressed by Zou Wenhuai was very important to him.
This means that some people in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle, which is firmly controlled by Feng Wanqian, are beginning to be dissatisfied with the status quo.
He has long said that in the fight with Feng Wanqian, only time can determine the outcome of both parties.
And time must be on his side.
Zou Wenhuai and Jiahe clearly stand on his side, which will definitely encourage more Xiangjiang filmmakers to break away from Feng Wanqian's suppression.
"Thank you Zou Sheng for your attention. Jiahe is the pioneer of our Chinese films and the leader of domestic commercial films. I believe that with the help of Jiahe, we can make the cake of Chinese films bigger and stronger."
Xiao Qian's expression also inspired Zou Wenhuai.
What Xiao Qian says now does not only represent himself, but also carries a strong trend.
He expressed goodwill to Zou Wenhuai, which means that the mainland market thinks the same about Jiahe.
Isn't this what Zou Wenhuai desires most?
"Since Zou Sheng is here and he is a veteran in the film industry, he is just in time to shoot the last scene. Can Zou Sheng give us some guidance?"
After giving him the benefit, Xiao Qian wanted to show off his fangs.
It is not to bite Jiahe, but to let these people understand how powerful Starlight Culture is.
If you want to eat the cake, you can only cooperate with Starlight. Otherwise, these fangs will be stained with blood.
Xiao Qian was still too young. Zou Wenhuai could see his purpose at a glance, but he was helpless.
Who told Xiao Qian to have a powerful country behind him?
This is the general trend for me.
"It is my honor to personally observe Mr. Xiao's methods."
Zou Wenhuai walked aside and looked around at the studio, which was several miles away. Who knew what was going on in his heart?
As expected of the mainland, there is only the mainland.
Such a majestic and vast scene is just a set for a movie, which is unthinkable in Hong Kong.
In the distance, thousands of majestic soldiers, dressed in British military uniforms, were walking towards them. The overwhelming momentum made Zou Wenhuai short of breath.
At this moment, the Hong Kong movie boss couldn't help but make a decision in his heart.
