Chu Huan came here for two things this time. The first one was to visit Miao Kexiu's new movie. This is a movie written and directed by Hong Jinbao.
Not to mention, Hung Kam-bao is very energetic. Of the 365 days in a year, Hung Kam-bao must be on the set for 300 days. He is either busy with his own film company's movies, or he is a guest star or starring in the movies of other black-and-white film directors.
Occasionally, I would come over and direct Cheng Long's movies.
Just some time ago, Kam-po Hung felt that the current film market was dominated by action films with male characters, and it had been a long time since there had been an action film with a female character as the protagonist.
So I was so inspired that I wrote a costume kung fu movie starring a female that Chu Huan had never heard of before.
Because of the appearance of Chu Huan, the movies in this world have already been in chaos. Movies such as "Monk San De and Chun Mi Liu", "Junior Brother Goes Out" and "A Dream of Red Mansions" all appeared in another time and space in advance.
At the same time, there were also a number of movies that I had never heard of, but they were doing well at the box office.
In this regard, Chu Huan could only say that you still know how to play, so he didn't take any more care.
At this time in Hong Kong, as Zheng Peipei has not yet contributed, there is only one capable actress, Miao Kexiu. Coupled with the relationship between Chu Huan and Miao Kexiu, Hong Jinbao's film with a female protagonist is naturally not Miao Kexiu.
The leading role is over.
However, Miao Kexiu has not acted in an action movie for a long time. In addition, she was injured in the last movie "Dragon and Tiger Fight", so Chu Huan was also a little worried. She originally wanted to tell Miao Kexiu, but if it didn't work, she would stop acting.
Forget it, but Miao Kexiu felt that it would be very boring to stay at home and be a canary, so after discussing it with Chu Huan, she decided to shoot this movie.
"So this is where the Hong Kong movie was filmed?"
As the newly promoted full-time secretary of Chu Huan, Wu Shuhan naturally followed Chu Huan. This was her first time on the set, so she was full of curiosity about everything here.
"Have you ever seen the movie Xiangjiang?"
Chu Huan and Wu Shuhan walked side by side in the studio and walked towards the costume area. After hearing Wu Shuhan's sigh, Chu Huan asked her with a smile.
Wu Shuhan nodded and said, "I have read some, including Li Xiaolong's "Brother Tangshan", "Fist of Fury", "The Dragon Crosses the River", and Zheng Peipei's "The Drunken Man", and by the way, Miss Lin, Zhao
The performance of "Happy Ghost" performed by the young lady was particularly funny!"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "So, you haven't gone to the theater to watch the movie?"
The movies Wu Shuhan mentioned are all movies that have been in development for a long time. Before the advent of video recorders, it was basically impossible for ordinary people to see them.
When the video recorder came out, Brother Audio signed a contract with Shaw Brothers and Black and White Video and bought the film and video rights of the two film companies.
Of course, this also includes the film and video copyrights of Golden Harvest and other Hong Kong film companies that have been acquired by Black and White Video.
Later, with the popularity of video recorders, as well as the boom in the retail and rental market of movie video tapes, Shao Yifu felt really distressed for a while, and even found Chu Huan who proposed the idea of blocking his brother's audio and video.
Chu Huan naturally could not agree, but Chu Huan definitely did not tell the relationship between himself and Brother Audio and Video. He only said that Brother Audio and Video is now the largest retailer in the film and video tape market in Hong Kong, and even in the world. If it is blocked,
If you lose them, it means that even if you have the video copyright of their film company in your hands, you have no place to sell it.
Now that I have been deceived, I can only accept it and wait until my company's movie and video copyrights are not sold in the future.
Shao Yifu had no choice but to agree to Chu Huan's suggestion.
In fact, film companies around the world basically follow this strategy now. Their film and video copyrights are not sold at all, but they need to rely on Brother Audio and Video's sales channels and rental channels to make them profitable.
Therefore, the current cooperation strategy between Brother Audio and major film companies around the world is that Brother Audio is responsible for selling and renting their movie tapes, and everyone shares the profit 50-50.
But in fact, the world's largest video tape production market is basically monopolized by Jiuzhou. Therefore, including the production profits, Jiuzhou and his brothers can make a profit of 50 Hong Kong dollars on a video tape.
But those film companies can only make a profit of HK$30 per video tape!
As for some other small video tape manufacturers, when they do not produce a video tape, they have to pay a patent fee of US$0.1 to Kyushu!
It can be said that the video tape market alone has already made Kyushu very profitable!
Wu Shuhan nodded and said, "I haven't gone to the cinema to see it. Sister, they are very busy with work, and I don't want to bother them all the time!"
Chu Huan smiled after hearing this and said without thinking too much, "I'll invite you to the cinema to watch a movie when you have time!"
Wu Shuhan's face turned red and she couldn't refuse, so she said, "Thank you, boss."
The two chatted and came to the costume area of the Tseung Kwan O studio. Looking at the pavilions and pavilions here, Wu Shuhan was surprised again.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "The land here in Xiangjiang is still too expensive. If a studio can be built in my hometown in the future, it will definitely be more magnificent than here."
Wu Shuhan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "How is this possible? This is called capitalism in my hometown, and it is definitely not allowed!"
Chu Huan was a little confused for a moment!
And this kind of vagueness comes from the memory of Chu Huan in another time and space. Although the domestic economic development in later generations has various problems, compared with foreign countries, it is simply much better.
But sometimes, some things are easy to discuss.
That is, in order to develop the economy, can some existing systems really be abandoned?
For example, in the 1960s, the most barbaric era of domestic economic development, in order to attract foreign and Hong Kong investment, many people bent their backs again, which their predecessors had finally straightened with millet and rifles.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Is this really good?
After thinking for a while, Chu Huan shook his head. This proposition was too big. Even Chu Huan now and Chu Huan in the future would not be able to do it. He could only do his most important thing within his own limited ability.
Just contribute.
At this time, Chu Huan's business is actually concentrated in light industry. If there is an opportunity in the future, Chu Huan will develop his business territory into heavy industry.
The development of other high technologies must also require efforts, such as the chip problem that has vexed the Chinese people for several years and was not solved even when Chu Huan was reborn!
It's just that it's too early to say this now, so Chu Huan never implemented it.
But if you want to make chips, there is one company that you can't avoid, and that is the Dutch lithography machine.
This company is a subsidiary of Philips of the Netherlands. If you have the opportunity, you may try to win it. Even if you can't win it, you will have to recruit all the people and patented technology.
However, l has not yet developed at this time, so there is no need to be too anxious. The development of the entire lithography machine also has its own history. At least at this stage, the world's largest lithography machine manufacturer is not this company.
"Boss, boss?"
Seeing that Chu Huan suddenly stopped talking, Wu Shuhan called Chu Huan worriedly.
"Ah, it's okay. I just remembered what you said. Don't worry. As I said before, if you can meet your friends, we will definitely be able to go back!"
Having said this, Chu Huan re-firmed his tone, "I will definitely be able to go back!"
Wu Shuhan looked at Chu Huan, a little curious. Even though his uncle had been telling them that he would like to go back to his hometown in the future, he had never been so determined as Chu Huan, as if everything was certain.
Just when Wu Shuhan was still thinking about these things, a pleasant voice came from the front.
"Brother Huan?"
Wu Shuhan looked up and found that they were now in a pavilion-like courtyard. A girl wearing an ancient white dress walked over happily.
Wu Shuhan had watched "Fist of Fury" and recognized the girl in ancient costume as Miao Kexiu, one of Chu Huan's confidante.
Seeing Miao Kexiu walking affectionately to Chu Huan in front of everyone and being held by Chu Huan's hand, Wu Shuhan stepped aside. Although she already knew about their relationship, she saw that there were more than a dozen people present.
At that time, Wu Shuhan still felt that Chu Huan and Miao Kexiu were too bold.
Thinking of what his eldest sister said to him, Wu Shuhan couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Although he respected Chu Huan for what he was doing now, it was impossible for him to fall in love with Chu Huan like other girls.
"Director Hong, did you come here to disturb your filming this time?"
Chu Huan smiled and preached to Hong Jinbao, who was walking towards him.
Hong Jinbao already knew from Miao Kexiu that Chu Huan would come to visit the crew today, and said with a smile, "Of course not. If you come here, Mr. Huan, it's not too late for our crew to be happy!"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "I didn't come here empty-handed!"
After Chu Huan finished speaking, Qin Peng and others who had been following Chu Huan took Chu Huan to buy food and put it on the table. The entire crew was thanking Chu Huan.
Wu Shuhan looked on with some curiosity. When Chu Huan asked her to buy some egg tarts just before Chu Huan came, she was very curious as to why she had to bring food when she came to visit the crew of her company.
At that time, Xu Yi explained to her that this was a habit of film and television crews in Hong Kong.
As for why he has such a habit, Xu Yi himself can't explain.
Because of Chu Huan's arrival, the filming of the crew will naturally be temporarily stopped.
"How about it? Do you feel a little tired from filming a Kung Fu movie again?"
Chu Huan asked Miao Kexiu.
Miao Kexiu smiled and shook her head, saying, "No, it's just that I haven't played Wia for a long time, and I still feel a little unaccustomed to it."
Diaowia is a technology that has been available in China during the Republic of China. It is rumored that it was earlier in North America, but I don’t know whether it is true or not. However, it is true that this technology was later improved by Liu Jialiang in Xiangjiang and carried forward.
Later, when my hometown was filming "Journey to the West", some of the film crews came to Hong Kong to study. As a result, the film companies here in Hong Kong regarded Diao Wei Ya's technology as if it were a treasure. As a result, the crew of "Journey to the West" was
Come with good fortune and return with bad luck!
You still have to figure it out on your own.
When thinking about this incident, Chu Huan felt that he could write it down and use it as a bridge to communicate with his hometown in the future.
"Director Hong, Ah Xiu hasn't made a kung fu movie for a long time. If you get her hurt, don't blame me for finding a few big men to do anything to you!"
Chu Huan shouted loudly to Hong Jinbao who was eating egg tarts.
Miao Kexiu's face turned red and she lightly hit Chu Huan, but there was a lot of pride in her eyes.
Hong Jinbao also knew that Chu Huan was joking with him, so he smiled and said, "Young Master Huan, don't worry, Miss Miao is a key protected animal here. No one can hurt her!"
Miao Kexiu hurriedly said, "Director Hong, don't let him talk nonsense. I'm fine. If this gets out, others won't say I'm just trying to be a big name?"
No one believes that Miao Kexiu is acting like a big name. After all, Miao Kexiu has never relied on Chu Huan's relationship to arrive late or leave early on the set. This cannot be filmed, and that cannot be filmed.
Even Miao Kexiu didn't even have an assistant except for the two female bodyguards who followed her all year round. In fact, it was not popular for artists in Xiangjiang to have assistants at this time.
In addition to Miao Kexiu, Hong Jinbao and the members of the Hong Family Class around Hong Jinbao, Chu Huan also discovered a familiar face.
Lin Fengjiao!
Chu Huan knew that Lin Fengjiao had joined the black and white video.
People say that Hong Kong's film and television industry was dark in the 1970s and 1980s, but in fact, Taiwan's film and television industry was even darker during this period.
Let’s put it this way, everyone knows how dark the South Korean film and television industry was in later generations. The Taiwanese film and television industry during this period was only darker than the South Korean film and television industry during that period!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is impossible for an actress like Lin Fengjiao to enjoy star treatment in Taiwan.
That's why in another time and space, Lin Fengjiao would retire without hesitation after marrying Cheng Long, and not care about Cheng Long's flowers and plants outside.
Only after people have experienced darkness can they understand how important it is to hold light in their own hands.
In this time and space, Cheng Long met Lin Fengjiao in advance, and proposed to her that Black and White Image could stay in Hong Kong and Black and White Image, and that Black and White Image would help her solve the contract issue in Taiwan. Then Lin Fengjiao was happy
Added black and white images.
As for his current relationship with Cheng Long, Chu Huan didn't ask any gossip. It had nothing to do with him anyway, so why did he ask?
After chatting with everyone for a while, Chu Huan got up and prepared to leave, and told Miao Kexiu that he would go to her place in the evening.
After walking out of the set, Chu Huan went to the main building of the set.
This was the second thing Chu Huan came to the Tseung Kwan O studio to ask Fang Jianhui how the preparations for the Hong Kong Film Awards were going.
Originally, Fang Jianhui needed to go to Jiahu Building to report this matter to Chu Huan, but because Chu Huan was coming to visit Miao Kexiu, he asked about it by the way.
Soon, Chu Huan brought Wu Shuhan to Fang Jianhui's office, and Fang Jianhui had been waiting for Chu Huan early.
"Happy Chairman!"
Fang Jianhui originally wanted to call him Brother Chu Huanhuan, but when he saw Wu Shuhan, he abruptly changed it to Chairman.
Fang Jianhui would only call Chu Huan this way when there were no outsiders.
"This is Wu Shuhan, my new full-time secretary, responsible for helping Xu Yi deal with things around me."
Chu Huan introduced Wu Shuhan to Fang Jianhui, and then told Wu Shuhan Fang Jianhui's identity.
When Fang Jianhui heard that Wu Shuhan was actually Chu Huan's full-time secretary, he immediately smiled and said, "Secretary Wu, if anything happens to the chairman in the future, you must tell me as soon as possible!"
Wu Shuhan didn't know the relationship between Fang Jianhui and Chu Huan. Now that he heard what Fang Jianhui said, he could only reply in a formulaic way, "I will definitely tell Mr. Fang as soon as possible if the boss tells Mr. Fang to do something. If Mr. Fang has any
If the matter comes to the boss, I will definitely tell him as soon as possible."
Chu Huan sat on the sofa and said with a smile, "You don't have to be so polite to him. Fang Jianhui and I used to be college classmates and deskmates. He was joking with you just now."
Hearing Chu Huan talk about college, the envy in Wu Shuhan's eyes flashed away.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and tell me how your preparations for the Academy Awards are going?" Chu Huan didn't notice Wu Shuhan's expression and spoke directly to Fang Jianhui.
Fang Jianhui replied, "Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. We have already held meetings with Shaw Brothers' CEO Yifu Shao and other film company bosses. Everyone is also very interested in the establishment of a Hong Kong film award. I think
This can better improve the film market in Hong Kong.
But at the beginning, there was still some resistance from everyone.”
Chu Huan didn't wait for Fang Jianhui to finish, but added, "Does the other party think that our black and white video is going to start a one-story show?"
Fang Jianhui nodded and said, "I don't blame them for thinking this way. After all, according to the current status of black and white images in the Hong Kong film industry, and we took the initiative to initiate this matter, they will definitely think so."
However, I have already explained to them that we are only the initiators of this award. We will not participate in the subsequent operation of the Academy Awards. Instead, we will delegate all rights to the Academy Awards committee. Even the later funds will be provided by us.
The film will not be subsidized, but will be self-financed by the broadcast fees and advertising fees of the Academy Awards!"
After hearing this, Chu Huan nodded, saying there was nothing wrong with doing so.
Fang Jianhui said somewhat incomprehensibly, "Chairman, if that's the case, it seems like there's no benefit for us. Why do we still do such a thankless thing?"
Originally, when Chu Huan and Fang Jianhui discussed setting up a Film Awards, Fang Jianhui was very happy. What he thought was that if the influence of the Academy Awards really increased, then their black and white images could completely rely on the Academy Awards.
Use influence to promote your company's movies.
Now Chu Huan actually gave up all his rights and helped to organize the establishment with his own money, which left Fang Jianhui a little confused.
Not only was Fang Jianhui not sure of Chu Huan's pulse, but even Wu Shuhan, who had already learned about the matter from Xu Yi, was also not sure of this context.
Because the preparation for the Hong Kong Film Awards was already a public matter, Wu Shuhan specifically asked Wu Shuqing about this matter, but Wu Shuqing couldn't figure it out either.
Could it be that Chu Huan really just wanted to win a reputation for his woman and then won such a Film Award?
Now there is only one explanation!
Chu Huan said with a smile, "The benefits are huge. First of all, our initial goal is not to make the Hong Kong Film Awards a film award for the Hong Kong film industry to entertain itself, but to prepare to make it a whole.
Asia's most influential film awards.
Although we will not be overly involved in the internal selection of the Film Awards, according to the current scale of Black and White Video, a large part of the award-winning films in the future will definitely come from Black and White Video. In this case, it will be beneficial to our Black and White Video film
Sales in these places.”
This matter can be referred to the Academy Awards. The selection of the Academy Awards has never been fair. When the Academy Awards begins, almost all the Academy Awards judges will receive submissions for the films.
A small gift from the film company.
This is like electing a president in North America. Whoever spends more money is most likely to become president.
Becoming president can make him the most powerful person in the world and also allow him to reap some benefits that ordinary people cannot see.
When winning awards at the Academy Awards, actors can get honors, but what about film companies?
The video market for their film will immediately create a small boom, and the profits will far exceed their investment.
What Chu Huan wants to do is to make the Hong Kong Film Awards highly famous throughout Asia. In this case, it can drive the video market of Hong Kong movies.
This can not only promote the interests of black and white images themselves, but also provide more opportunities for some films in Hong Kong to make money.
When he was making money, Chu Huan could still think about the overall film market in Hong Kong. Chu Huan himself felt that he was great.
"In addition, there is another advantage. Don't forget, I don't only have Black and White Media, I also have Qingjin Clothing."
Chu Huan continued to explain to Fang Jianhui, "LVL of Qingjin Clothing has always wanted to gain a foothold in the high-end market, but in order to gain a foothold in the high-end fashion industry, in addition to taking time to accumulate knowledge, it also requires high-level exposure.
The Academy Awards is the best stage for exposure. When stars from Hong Kong, even Taiwan, Japan and other places appear on the red carpet of the Academy Awards wearing LVL clothes, this will be the best publicity!"
Of course, venting your anger for Miao Kexiu is a given, but if you can also increase the interests of your own company while venting your anger, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?
Fang Jianhui and Wu Shuhan now fully understood what Chu Huan meant.
Fang Jianhui even said in admiration, "No wonder you asked me to insist on the clothing sponsorship rights to the Hong Kong Film Awards, and also asked the Hong Kong Film Awards Organizing Committee to stipulate that all participating artists must wear designated clothing brands!
"
Chu Huan showed a satisfied smile. This was actually what Chu Huan learned from later generations of CB. When Chu Huan heard the news, he also complained about CB's regulations, but now it does not hinder Chu Huan at all.
I'll make the set of cb now.
"By the way, what's the attitude of those film critics now?"
Chu Huan asked with a smile.
For the Hong Kong Film Awards, those film critics were not invited to be judges. At the same time, in order to disgust those people, Fang Jianhui also deliberately imitated himself and asked some trainee cartoonists from Fantasy Comics Club to create a four-frame comic!
Chu Huan felt that those film critics would definitely not give up!
Hearing Chu Huan say this, Fang Jianhui suddenly laughed and said, "I originally thought about fighting them for 300 rounds, but I didn't expect that a scandal broke out within them first. Now those people have too much time to take care of themselves. There is no way.
Time is coming to trouble us!"
After hearing this, Chu Huan showed an interested expression and asked, "What scandal?"
Fang Jianhui laughed and said, "Among them, there was a man named Peter Lai who was a former Shaw Brothers director. After he directed a movie that was a hit, he had Yifu Shao kicked out. Then he became a film critic and began to criticize."
Of all the movies in Xiangjiang, he can be considered the leader of those people!"
Hearing Fang Jianhui suddenly mention Li Peter, Chu Huan glanced at Wu Shuhan. As expected, Wu Shuhan also secretly showed an interested expression, but after seeing Chu Huan's expression, her face turned slightly red.
Fang Jianhui did not notice this and continued to preach.
"It turns out that just two days ago, this Li Peter offended some kind of god. He was drugged, found a fat woman, and gave a live performance. Many reporters even filmed the scene.
.
Then this person became famous. Some time ago, he criticized Feng Yue Pian for being vulgar, but he ended up doing something even more vulgar. The most exciting news in the entertainment section recently was about him.
"True News" later exposed his identity, and as a result, the entire film critic circle was ruined in Hong Kong, and now no one wants to watch them review movies!"
After hearing this, Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. Those short mules seemed to be smart people!
They don't know what the relationship between Wu Shuhan and themselves is, but according to their understanding, if they offend Wu Shuhan, they must offend themselves.
Then they must want to atone for their sins, but they must also understand that according to their situation, they will not be able to see themselves, so they made a big news about Peter Li, which is much bigger than the news about Peter Peter having his hands and feet amputated.
Already.
It must be in the newspaper, then you can see it yourself.
After Chu Huan figured it out, he looked at Wu Shuhan again. It was obvious that Wu Shuhan had also thought of this, and the expression on his face became more complicated. He was shy after hearing such a thing, but also felt embarrassed when he heard that his enemy had ended up like this.
happy.
Chu Huan did not tell Fang Jianhui about this matter. Since he had nothing to do, Chu Huan left with Wu Shuhan.
Not far out of the main building, when I arrived at the restaurant, I saw Liu Pingkui chatting animatedly with a black-and-white actress.
Liu Pingkui naturally also saw Chu Huan.
Immediately, he walked out of the restaurant in a hurry and said to Chu Huan with a smile, "Brother Huan, why do you have time to come to the company today?"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Didn't I delay you in picking up girls?"
"No delay, we have already made an appointment!" Liu Pingkui said proudly.
"Drink more wolfberry, otherwise your body will not function well in a few years!" Chu Huan joked.
Liu Pingkui immediately laughed and said, "I've been eating it for a long time!"
Chu Huan ""
"By the way, aren't you supposed to be filming "Happy Ghost 3" now? How do you have time to pick up girls?" Chu Huan thought of what Liu Pingkui said when he went home for dinner.
Liu Pingkui said helplessly, "Forget it, Zhong Chuhong's father is in the hospital, and Zhong Chuhong is taking care of her in the hospital. Even if she comes, she is not in the mood to take pictures, so I let her rest for a day!"
Chu Huan thought of Zhong Chuhong when he grew up and asked, "Which hospital is that?"
