Chapter 611 Peaceful Harbor Strategy

At the beginning of the year, Xu Guanwen's "Teppanyaki" received 19 million, which was considered a good start for Jiahe.

But this achievement is a bit unjust for the first-generation comedy king. In the past, if it exceeded five million, it would be called a hit, and if it exceeded ten million, it would be called a hit. Now if it doesn't exceed twenty million, how dare you say that the movie is a hit?

Xu Guanwen, who was very prosperous for a while, was unable to succeed.

This year Jiahe also has a blockbuster film, "Fast Food Truck" starring three brothers, Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long and Yuan Biao, and Chow Wenhuai has high hopes for it.

He chatted about Chen Qi's affairs and asked: "How are the preparations for "Lucky Star Shining"?"

"Still communicating with Japan."

"Find Cai Lam and ask him to be the producer of the location. He has good connections in Japan... We will formally invite Mai Jia and Huang Baiming after a while."

"OK!"

Hong Jinbao nodded. He knew the plan. Dongfang Company was going to join forces with Jiahe to kill Princess Jin. But he had doubts. Lei Juekun was not someone to be trifled with. As long as he was stabilized, he would be able to make a comeback soon.

But this is all the business of the big boss.

Hong Jinbao may sound like a boss, but he is actually a high-class wage earner.

………………

Clear Water Bay Film Set.

Chen Qi was sitting in the office, reading a letter from Gong Xue, saying that he had gone to a cotton spinning factory in Shanghai to experience life in order to film "Red Dresses on the Street", where he ate and lived with the female workers and observed their daily conditions.

Also accompanying me was an actress from Changying Film Studio named Jiang Lili, who was considered the second female lead.

The two get along well, and they are working hard to learn how to operate the machine. Sister Xue also sent a photo of a female cos textile worker: wearing an apron-like work clothes, a little white hat on her head, and a look of perseverance like a model worker.

"Experiencing life is such a long time ago!"

Chen Qi lamented that it would be a fantasy in future generations for a celebrity like Sister Xue to live and eat with female workers.

He picked up a pen and wrote a reply, reminding him that he was going to the United States to attend the Oscars in early April, and that he would coordinate the time. When he returned in July, the two of them would get married and prepare to have a baby...

"Dong dong dong!"

Just as he was writing, Fu Qi opened the door and said, "Are you busy?"

"I'm not busy, I'm writing a letter to Sister Xue!"

"Sister Xue, your name is so natural. Do you usually call it that way?"

"Usually call me sister!"

"Okay, he is a young man after all."

Fu Qi clicked his tongue. The combination of Chen Qi and Gong Xue was a standard child bride in the old society.

"I heard that you sent letters to various companies again, asking them to make short films about the Olympics. Do you really want to make them?"

"Of course!"

"Is there any reply?"

"Only small companies and small stars are willing, but no big companies or big stars agree."

Fu Qi couldn't hold back his joy, and shook his head and said: "As expected, these people are waiting for the direction of the wind after the outcome of the Sino-British negotiations. If they don't see the rabbit, they won't let the eagle fly, so what will happen to your short film?"

"I will send you another invitation in July. If you don't come, you will be shameless."

Chen Qi suddenly stood up, took out a roll of paper from the drawer, and said, "Uncle, you came just in time. Let me tell you about this in detail. First, look at the map of the theater I drew."

He unfolded the paper and drew a rough outline of Hong Kong's terrain, marking each area, and then wrote the names of the major theaters in red pen.

"In the first half of the year, I wanted to kill Xinyi City and dismantle Princess Jin. I have been fighting for Princess Jin's second and third shareholders. These two are wavering, and they can come over with a push."

"How many theaters do they have?"

“5 families!”

"How do we separate from Jiahe?"

"Everyone depends on his ability."

Fu Qi looked at it and said: "Princess Jin has 16 theaters, Lei Juekun owns 8, and rents 3. Even if they withdraw their shares, Lei Juekun still has 11 theaters, and his strength is still there."

"But he has no film source anymore. We and Golden Harvest will clear the place."

"No, no, Lei Juekun can also choose Western movies. If he shows Western movies and recruits Debao, he will soon be able to regain his footing."

"De Bao may go, but Hong Jinbao is a variable. If he does go, I will beat them."

"What about Western movies?"

"I want to grab some Western movies too!"

"How did you..."

Fu Qi said halfway, nodded, and understood what the other party meant. He put his hands on his hips, stared at the simple map, and said: "The situation is very complicated. At least five parties are fighting... Okay, let's do it!"

He is more radical than Chen Qi to some extent.

"Uncle, we need funds now, quite a lot of funds. Do you have any ideas?"

"The cash between our two families cannot be touched...just leave it to me and I will find the money!"

"good!"

Chen Qi is open-minded, and Uncle Fu Qi has always been his strongest assistant, always straightforward and neat.

It has only been 3 years since Dongchang was established. If the RMB, Hong Kong dollars, and US dollars in hand were unified into Hong Kong dollars, they would already be 100 million. However, this money is his coffin book + capital chain. He cannot act rashly, let alone exchange US dollars into Hong Kong dollars.

.

I don’t know how much property Yin has, but the properties are the same.

The two families can't come up with much cash, but they can find money. Bank of China, China Resources, China Travel Service, China Everbright, and China Merchants Group are not just decorations. If they can't get a loan, it's OK.

Fu Qi took the job.

There is a saying that if Fu Mingxian is not filial in the future, Chen Qi will support Fu Qi and Shi Hui until they die, and then beat Fu Mingxian.

The sets of Shaw Brothers and Left Wing are both in Clear Water Bay.

When Zou Wenhuai left Shaw Brothers, he applied to the government for a piece of land to build a studio on Ax Mountain Road, 2 kilometers away from Clear Water Bay. There is also a main building, studio, canteen, post-production room, etc. here.

Bruce Lee, Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao and Xu Guanwen have all been in and out.

In the scene in "Plan A" where Cheng Long jumps from the bell tower, the bell tower was built on the set.

Early this morning, Lin Zhengying rarely dressed up and came to the Golden Harvest set. He met Hong Jinbao first. Hong Jinbao comforted him: "Relax, I will accompany you in."

"That's great!"

Lin Zhengying breathed a sigh of relief, he was a nobody.

After a while, Zhuang Cheng and Yu Rentai, the director of "Mr. Zombie", also came, and everyone gathered in the "pilot room" of the studio, which means an internal preview of a movie after it is finished.

"Legendary Pictures has been established for one year and has already established a firm foothold. Mr. Zhuang is young and promising!"

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's all thanks to you!"

Zhuang Cheng had just returned from Taiwan and shook hands with Zou Wenhuai. Zou Wenhuai was very curious about him and asked: "You worked well with Princess Jin, why did you come to Jiahe suddenly?"

"Only Lam Ching-ying can act in this film. The Hong family is loyal to Jiahe and refuses to lend it out, so I had no choice but to get Jiahe to release it."

"oh?"

Zou Wenhuai turned around and looked at Lin Zhengying. This person had served as Bruce Lee's martial artist and had always played supporting roles. He was Hong Jinbao's right-hand man, but that was all. He didn't understand why Zhuang Cheng valued him so much.

"Everyone is here? Let's start!"

While he was talking, the screen lit up and "Mr. Zombie" played again.

Historically, Golden Harvest was not optimistic about the film, with an estimated box office of only 5 million. Who could have imagined that it would be so popular, it would also lead to a boom in zombie movies, and even form a culture that would influence future generations.

It was the same at this time. After the film was released, several senior executives of Jiahe looked at each other. They watched the film out of curiosity, and the result was this?

"Mr. Zhuang, I have something else to do but excuse me!"

"It's okay, please do it!"

Zou Wenhuai shook his head and disappeared, leaving He Guanchang to discuss the schedule of "Mr. Zombie" with Zhuang Cheng.
