Hong Kong Island Old Events

Jiang Tiansheng's charlatanism cannot be hidden, so He Dingxian did not try to cover it up, but stated kindly: "Mr. Lu comes from a prominent family in Nanyang, and has a background of Chinese trade unions in Nanyang. Naturally, he doesn't have to deal with charlatans when making movies. .”

"But when Mr. Lu comes to Hong Kong Island to fetch water, he will inevitably make friends with the society."

He picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and chuckled: "Lu Sheng, the world has not changed, it's just that Hong Kong Island is different from Nanyang!"

Lu Yuntao's expression changed slightly, he had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he had already begun to weigh the left and right.

He Dingxian said: "Yiqun is my company. If Mr. Lu is willing to make friends with me, you don't have to worry about political affairs in the future, because I will help you block it."

"What kind of business does Mr. He's friend want to do in Singapore?" Lu Yuntao asked.

He Dingxian smiled softly: "Mr. Lu, you don't have to worry about what the brothers do. In short, it will not affect the business of the movie store. The brothers just need a place to stay and need a piece of land to take root."

Since it has no overseas territory, it can only make a fuss about trade and use Singapore as a transit point.

If He Dingxian wants to get involved in Singapore and gain profits, he must first win a piece of territory for Yiqun's overseas brothers, and then use the territory as a basis to slowly gather talents and develop his power, and finally he can play on the shore.

"If Mr. Lu is willing to make me a friend, I am willing to reduce Oriental Cinema's fee to the same level as your company's in Nanyang." He Dingxian said: "Take this contract as a testimony of our friendship."

Lu Yuntao was a little afraid of being dragged into the water: "He Sheng, I have to think about it."

"Two minutes, is that enough?" He Dingxian lowered his head and glanced at his watch.

Lu Yuntao sighed: "Okay, I promise you."

The Lu family also has a place in the Chinese Trade Unions in Singapore. It is simple to protect a society. The society will not bring any benefits, but the interests of the Hong Kong Island Film Market radiate to the entire East Asia.

Jiang Tiansheng put his hands in front of his abdomen and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Mr. Lu."

Lu Yuntao glanced at him and did not answer. Instead, he stood up and shook hands with He Dingxian: "Happy cooperation."

"May our friendship last forever."

He Dingxian took Lu Yuntao's hands and smiled meaningfully.

Nowadays, left-wing film companies are very powerful and the commercialization of films is insufficient. It is a good business to use the established theater chains to cooperate with Lu Yuntao and rely on the theater chains to pump money.

"Let Tianyang run the business well in Nanyang. If you have any troubles that can't be solved, remember to call me." He Dingxian said goodbye to Boss Lu, and before getting in the car, he specifically asked: "If you want money, it's easy to talk to anyone."

"Thank you, big boss." Jiang Tiansheng bowed his head and agreed. After the big boss got into the car, he gently closed the door and stood by the roadside, watching the big boss go away before leaving.

In fact, Jiang Tianyang is doing very well overseas. He can make millions a year just from contraband, so he is not short of money at all.

But there is a real lack of land, and without the nod of local bosses, how can a foreign organization occupy a place in a densely populated big city? It can be said that He Dingxian’s idea, an idea, and his intuition determined that Yiqun’s overseas branch has undergone a qualitative change.

"Akun, when you see Azai tomorrow, tell him to go to the market and recruit a few directors to join the film company. Oriental Film Company has been buying land for so long, it's time to turn around." He Dingxian said aloud.

Ni Kun concentrated on driving the car and solemnly agreed: "I know, big boss."

"By the way, I don't want you to be an old leftist with a dull head. Don't turn my good film company into a propaganda position again." He Dingxian specifically explained.

"yes."

Ni Kun kept it in mind.

He Dingxian looked at the scenery outside the window with a happy expression.

In fact, it has been difficult to find film talents in Hong Kong in recent years. All major companies have brought their own teams, either moved to Shanghai as a whole, or have theaters overseas. Unlike in later generations when the film industry was booming, the streets were full of talents waiting to start work.

It doesn’t matter if Oriental Pictures has made a few bad movies in the past few years, the key is to polish the team.

The only one under him, Zou Huaiwen, is very suitable for managing the film industry. He will definitely shine if he is transferred to the company. However, Zou Huaiwen has done an outstanding job in the newspaper industry. If he is transferred to the film company, he will easily lose sight of one thing.

What's more, Zou Huaiwen historically quit Shaw Brothers to found Golden Harvest. He belongs to the type of person who has "a traitor in his head", so he should leave the film company alone for the time being.

In case Shao Laoliu just comes back, another boss Zou will appear as his opponent. Although the possibility was extremely low, He Dingxian didn't want to take the risk, otherwise he would be shot and his brains would be splattered all over the floor.

When you are a boss, you have to learn to protect your subordinates, you know?

After receiving the news, Lardboy contacted his acquaintances and spent a lot of money to recruit three directors from film companies in Yonghua, Nanhua, and Phoenix. Among them were the famous veteran "Zhu Shilin", the new-school director "Wang Tianlin", and The female director "does whatever she wants".

"Zhu Shilin" started writing scripts at Shanghai's "Lianhua Company" twenty years ago, and later became a director. He is very good at the use of lenses and the structure of pictures. Because early film recording funds were limited, it was very important to use one shot to render the greatest emotions and express the richest character stories.

How can future generations dare to pour water?

Therefore, Zhu Shilin is very particular about lens art. After coming to Hong Kong Island to work, he tried to make several anti-Japanese and national salvation films. Although the box office was mediocre, it was funded by patriotic businessmen, and its career developed smoothly.

You must know that the people who really need a national-saving film are all those who are struggling to survive under the fire and can enter the cinema.

Who likes watching national salvation movies?

Zhu Shilin was brave enough to try, but it was not accepted by the market. Later, Hong Kong Island banned the release of related films, so he switched to making "harem movies" and caused a sensation with "The Secret History of the Qing Palace"! Become one of the famous directors.

Freshman director "Wang Tianlin" has just made his debut. He directed his debut film "Emei Flying Swordsman" last year. He started his career as an "action fantasy film". It can be said that it was a bolt from the blue and attracted much attention from all walks of life.

This future Hong Kong film industry leader is just a fledgling young man, but his artistic potential has already been revealed.

"Yanzhi" comes from a family of performers in Shanghai. His father is the veteran filmmaker "Yen Pengnian" and the actress "Wu Aizhu". She is a famous actress in Hong Kong Island. With her cute and beautiful appearance, she is very famous in Hong Kong Island.

Under the recommendation of his father, he entered Oriental Film Company, hoping to start his transformation as a director.

Ren Pengnian is China's first-generation martial arts film director, and his wife Wu Aizhu is also the first-generation martial arts actress. Her masterpiece "Kwantung Heroes" is well-known in the film industry. What’s funny is that when he plays the male lead in a movie, his wife must be the female lead. He is really a husband-singer and a wife-accompanying wife. The later famous film "Anyway" was also directed by his father. He can be said to be the "second generation of stars" a century ago.

After reading many lists of alternative directors, He Dingxian selected three people for various reasons.

Some value talent, while others value family background and team resources. The three film directors all brought their own shooting teams with them when they joined the company. In addition to the actors, they also included lighting masters, prop masters, set designers, and martial artists.

These days the director is also a trouper!

If you want to raise a group of people, you have to dig a group of people.

And these three groups of people are all here for money. Naturally, they are all eager to show off their talents in Oriental Pictures and get the most resources and the most money.

Zhu Shilin decided to take a big step and make his first comedy movie "A Board Apart", while Wang Tianlin planned to shoot the action movie "Su Qier", which is also the first movie in the history of Chinese films to feature "Su Qier" as the protagonist.

Yi Zhizhi plans to shoot the literary film "Mid-Autumn Moon", with his father Ren Pengnian participating behind the scenes.

The total investment for these three movies is as much as 400,000 yuan. In addition to the signing bonus for poaching the three-person team, the total cost is more than 600,000 yuan. Making a movie is indeed different from opening a dollar store, but at this time, Boss He no longer cares about making money.

If you lose, just lose.

The worst possible scenario is to use the film company to launder Hong Kong dollars in the future.

If he doesn't leave Hong Kong, he will be the biggest shady person in Hong Kong Film Industry!

At the end of the month, He Dingxian and Luo Caiyun were watching a play at the Admiralty Theater. Looking at the actors on the stage, he smiled and said, "Ayun, how have you been studying recently?"

Luo Caiyun looked shy: "The teachers taught me very hard, but I am too old to learn anything good."

"Sing a song for me some other time?" He Dingxian then asked. Luo Caiyun's rosy face was even more shy. As Luo Caiyun, she could only sing for Mr. He alone. But what did it mean for a woman to sing for men?

He Dingxian came back to his senses and explained with a smile: "I have a film company that is going to shoot a new movie. If I can't sing, I can act in a movie."

Luo Caiyun didn't want to be looked down upon: "Brother-in-law, I will study hard and sing "A Fairy Match" for you."

"It doesn't matter, I can start filming "A Perfect Match" just for you." He Dingxian comforted him twice, but Luo Caiyun was even more determined. After a while, she suddenly said: "Brother-in-law, my father knows that I am learning to sing recently."

"Mr. Luo, do you have any objections?" He Dingxian asked.

Luo Caiyun opened his mouth and said, "I told him to help at Xinghui Company, but he just said he wanted to meet you."

"Please help me make an appointment with Mr. Luo."

He Dingxian knew that what was supposed to come would always come. How could he not let others talk about abducting his daughter?

Moreover, if the He family wants to marry the Luo family and use the power of the other family, they must make it clear. Otherwise, even if you give birth to a grandson, others will not recognize it and will not help you.

"good."

Luo Caiyun agreed.

When He Dingxian sent Luo Caiyun to the door of his house as usual in the evening, a self-combed maid opened the iron door and came forward: "Mr. He, I would like to invite you in for a cup of tea."

Luo Caiyun turned to look at the man beside her: "Brother-in-law."

"It doesn't matter."

He Dingxian smiled softly, straightened his suit, and walked into the villa door: "Please lead the way."

Luo Caiyun followed her brother-in-law, obviously going back to her home, but feeling very uneasy in her heart. On the contrary, He Dingxian behaved calmly and confidently.

In the living room, Justice Luo Wenhao saw his daughter and a man walking into the house. Even though he was prepared, his expression still showed some discomfort.

"Dad, this is Sister Nan's husband."

It was okay that Luo Caiyun didn't speak, but as soon as he did, Luo Wenhao glared at him: "You came back so late, go upstairs and wash up first!"

He Dingxian smiled and politely stepped forward to shake hands: "Judge Luo, hello, I'm sorry for bothering you so late at night."

Chapter 2 will be very late today, I have trouble sleeping.
