Driving a classic car that has not been replaced for several years after he bought it. Except for the engine, all other parts can play music when it is running. Huang Baiming's heart has never been calm since Saigon. Because today brought him
The impact was so shocking that he still couldn't calm down for a long time.
Tsui Hark, who was sitting in the passenger seat, barely knew that Huang Baiming was struggling. As good friends, of course they understood each other's hobbies and ideals. Huang Baiming was a manager of a foreign bank when he was young, and his future was unlimited. But he was obsessed with the entertainment industry.
, it wasn’t until he met Mai Jia by chance that he made a major decision.
He made the decision to give up a white-collar job with high artificial benefits. He started as a screenwriter, and was also a director and actor. When he was an actor at TVB, he used the stage name Huang Baiming and created scripts such as the TV series "Once Upon a Time in the Sky" and "The End of Time".
, was well received, and then entered the film industry as a screenwriter.
Together with a group of like-minded friends, he founded the "Struggle Film Company". After becoming a shareholder and boss, Huang Baiming became complacent. At the time when Hong Kong films were booming, films began to flourish, and various types of films, such as
It sprung up like mushrooms after the rain. Relying on this shareholder style, Huang Baiming was appreciated by Lei Juekun and invested in the integration of "Struggle Film Company".
Cooperated with Mai Jia and Shi Tian to establish "Xinyicheng Pictures Co., Ltd." and served as the administrative director. Not only did he participate in performances as an actor, he also became a producer.
Ever since Huang Baiming entered the industry, he has always wanted to bring his own ideas into movies, so that audiences who buy tickets to go to the theater can not only enjoy the visual experience, but also relax and laugh, so as to relieve the stress of the day.
Work pressure. So Huang Baiming is very keen on comedy films.
New Art City has just been established, and several consecutive films have achieved good box office results. Huang Baiming is full of confidence and full of expectations for the future. However, this does not mean that Huang Baiming is very happy at work. Although he is a New Art City
Although he is the administrative director of the city, he has the smallest share among the partners.
The one who controls New Art City is "Cinema Film (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd.", the one who holds the lifeline of New Art City "Golden Princess Cinema Line" is "Golden Princess Entertainment Co., Ltd.", and the one who controls "Golden Princess Entertainment Co., Ltd."
"Kowloon Construction Co., Ltd." and "Kowloon Construction Co., Ltd."
The big boss is Lei Juekun. Therefore, the development funds of New Art City, or the final decision-making power, are actually in the hands of Lei Juekun. As long as he says a word, no matter how good the script is, whether to film or not, at the executive meeting
In terms of voting and decision-making power, Huang Baiming can't actually change anything.
Just like this time Tsui Hark wanted to invest in "The Legend of the New Shushan Swordsman", Huang Baiming decided to invest in it, but it was because Lei Juekun felt that the funds should be invested in the more profitable "The Best Partner Shows His Magical Powers",
The rejection of the filming plan for "New Legend of Shushan Swordsman" disappoints the subject, and Huang Baiming is also full of helplessness.
Everything was restricted and suppressed everywhere, so Huang Baiming could only follow Lei Juekun's intention and will to run New Art City, thus burying many scripts and artists that he thought had great potential. In Huang Baiming's view, he
The administrative director is just a name but not worthy of his name. So Huang Baiming focused more on the director and director.
Above, otherwise, how could the top manager of a company, with such a heavy and complicated workload, be able to serve as a director and create such works as "Happy Ghosts Collide with Ghosts", "Secrets to Getting Rich", "Afraid of Little Students",
What about a series of films such as "Gong Xi Fa Cai" and "Eight Star Announcement" that are humorous and popular among Hong Kong audiences?
In fact, it is also because Huang Baiming is so talented. He has done a very good job in both writing and directing as well as administrative work in company management. Compared with the low-key Shi Tian and the arrogant and arrogant Mai Jia, he is more loved and welcomed by everyone in the company.
Naturally, compared to Lei Juekun, the big boss behind the scenes, Huang Baiming's reputation in the company is indeed not comparable to that of Lei Juekun, an outsider.
Huang Baiming has never forgotten his concept of making movies, and has always integrated it into the films produced by Xinyi City. Because of this, Huang Baiming not only had irreconcilable differences with Mai Jia on many matters, but even knew that he was
The right Lei Juekun will also invisibly suppress his development space, making Huang Baiming more careful and cautious about management work.
When Huang Baiming heard that Feng Yifeng had given a film company that could be managed and operated completely according to his wishes, the first thing he thought was that it must be a joke. But after thinking deeply, he found that it was impossible. With Feng Yifeng's identity, it was simply impossible.
There is no need to make such unnecessary jokes with him, it is of no value at all. But Huang Baiming also does not believe that Feng Yifeng, as the boss, will completely ignore the management and operation of the company. In Huang Baiming's view, this is simply a fantasy.
In fact, Huang Baiming still doesn't understand Feng Yifeng's personality and Feng Yifeng's existing company. Basically, he leaves it to the people below to do and manage it. As long as he grasps the general direction of the company, the rest should be left to capable people.
Well done. Although Feng Yifeng has a lazy personality, he has always used people without suspicion and those who are suspicious. Whether it is Faith, Mani, Carlos, Liu Tianci, or Saito Akiya
When it comes to senior managers, such as Dent, Mrs. Luna, Dade, Gerry, Lu Kai and other senior managers, Feng Yifeng will never question their abilities or limit their performance. As long as they can take even one step forward, Feng Yifeng will
They will provide unlimited support, and the only requirement is to be able to produce results. I am worthy of Feng Yifeng’s trust and worthy of the salary and bonus rewards I receive.
So without knowing the truth, Huang Baiming hesitated. He was afraid that Feng Yifeng was just impulsive, and that Feng Yifeng's words were just for entertainment. Now that Feng Yifeng has become the major shareholder of "Siyuan Pictures Company", he also invested in Tsui Hark to start a movie
Studio, why would you want to start a new film company? There is simply too much money to burn, which is not logical at all.
This is actually what Feng Yifeng suddenly thought of. "Siyuan Pictures Company" is responsible for the identities of producers and investors, but its distribution channels are relatively weak. Generally, it is connected to the four major theater chains in Hong Kong (Shaw Brothers, Shaw Brothers, etc.)
Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, Broadway). In Taiwan and Southeast Asia, distribution must rely on the cooperation of local film and television companies and theaters in Taiwan, otherwise it will be difficult to make progress.
Originally, Feng Yifeng planned to become the major shareholder of "Siyuan Pictures Company" and then invest funds to acquire local independent theaters in Hong Kong and build or renovate old theaters. It would be best if he could acquire the "Broadway Cinema Chain".
Thereby becoming a theater chain owner with the right to speak, and no longer having to rely on others.
Although the "Broadway Cinema Chain" currently only has more than a dozen theaters and about 50 screens, which sounds very small, it is simply incomparable to the theater chains established by Feng Yifeng in Taiwan and Japan. But if you calculate carefully, Hong Kong
There are only about 5 million people, and all they have is Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. Taiwan has a population of more than 18 million (statistics in 1980), and Japan has a population of about 110 million (19
Statistics in 1985), the population base and the area of the region are simply not comparable to a small place like Hong Kong. Moreover, whether it is Taiwan or Japan, the level of economic development is not lower than that of Hong Kong at all, and the people's living standards have improved.
, naturally they would not shy away from consumption. This was also because the most popular entertainment at that time, besides watching TV at home, was going shopping, going to bars, dance halls, and movie theaters.
The manager of "Broadway Cinemas" is "Anle Film Co., Ltd.", which was established in 1950 by Jiang Zhiqiang, one of the company's executive directors. Its main business includes film production, film and video distribution, advertising production, etc. And because of "Broadway Cinemas"
"Cinema Line" is not as strong as Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, so it is popular among low- and mid-level film studios. It is also loved by some small film companies. They have signed distribution agreements with "Broadway Cinema Line" to be responsible for distributing their films to Hong Kong.
All major theaters.
The reason why Feng Yifeng is interested in this theater chain is because the theater chain does not have as many investors in film production as Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and New Art City. They usually rely on external film support. But don't underestimate it.
"Broadway Cinema Line" because there are three
The theater chain with a history of ten years has a high level of professional theater operation and management and theater design and decoration. In terms of operation and management, it has a high-quality professional management team, a rigorous, complete and scientific management system, and has formed a set of standardized services.
Management system.
Therefore, Feng Yifeng wanted to take advantage of the gradually revealed opposition between the three heroes and ignore the value of "Broadway Cinema" to acquire it as quickly as possible. Originally, he only wanted to use "Siyuan Pictures Company" for the acquisition.
and integration, but Wu Siyuan is too weak in Hong Kong
Now that he is famous, not to mention that he just caused such a mess in Taiwan, it is easier for him to attract the attention and follow-up reports of the Hong Kong media. Therefore, if he takes any action, he will not be able to hide it from the uncrowned kings in Hong Kong, and it will easily attract the attention of other people.
Attention of the three major theater chains.
The unexpected appearance of Huang Baiming made Feng Yifeng once again see the possibility of secretly acquiring a "Broadway theater chain". With Huang Baiming's experience in the film industry for more than ten years, it is impossible for him not to know the importance of a theater chain to a film company.
Feng Yifeng also believes that with Huang Baiming's ability, the problem of solving the "Broadway theater chain" is not too big. The only problem is more money and less money.
But Huang Baiming didn't know all this. He was still debating whether to have a meeting with Qi Shitian and Mai Jia when he returned to the company. It would be best if he could invite Lei Juekun to give him the details of what he heard and saw.
Tell them so as to attract their attention and attention, otherwise if Feng Yifeng forcefully invades the Hong Kong film industry, it will simply dilute the profits of New Art City.
But there was a voice echoing in his heart: "If someone trusts you so much and tells you his plan without reservation, why can't he be a more gentleman? Doesn't it mean that if he says this, he will definitely implement it? Look.
His plan is still in planning for the time being. If it turns out to be a false alarm, wouldn't it make the bald man laugh again? It's better to wait and see, wait until something happens, and then think of a way to deal with it."
Because of Huang Baiming's hesitation, he missed the best opportunity to deal with Feng Yifeng, which allowed him to benefit from the final battle between Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and New Art City, and thus became a large-scale film production and distribution company in Hong Kong.
One of the film companies. However, when Huang Baiming recalled this incident later, he just smiled lightly and did not express regret or happiness at all.
Tsui Hark, who was sitting next to Huang Baiming, had been paying attention to the expression on Huang Baiming's face since he got in the car, knowing that he was struggling in his heart. It was hard for him to say anything, and it was hard to persuade Huang Baiming about what decision he would make.
He could say some dispensable words in an attempt to relieve Huang Baiming's inner feelings.
The entanglement of the heart. "Don't think too much, do things with your heart, and you will not regret whatever happens afterwards, whether you succeed or fail. Don't be rebellious due to temporary impulses or obstacles, and don't stick to principles.
Nothing remains the same. Let nature take its course, and the future will be better."
After hearing what Tsui Hark said but didn't say, Huang Baiming could only roll his eyes at his friend. But after Tsui Hark said this, Huang Baiming's heart finally calmed down. No one knows what the future will be like. He once thought about it.
Stay in Xinyi City and work hard for it all your life, but once
Being restrained time and time again, and arguing with Mai Jia in meetings again and again, Huang Baiming was undoubtedly a little frustrated, but it was not yet the point where he was finally disappointed. There was only a trace of friendship connecting him with Xinyi City, otherwise he would be in
After careful consideration, I might have agreed to Feng Yifeng's invitation.
