My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 311 When the golden wind and the jade dew meet, they are both fallen people in the world.

The atmosphere in the bar is lively.

When Wu Xiaozu walked into the bar, he saw Cai Zhiming exchanging glasses with an ordinary-looking man, talking and laughing, looking very familiar.

A bottle of whiskey was half drunk and placed on the table, emitting a halo of light.

"Azu!!"

Cai Zhiming's eyes lit up, he stood up enthusiastically and grabbed Wu Xiaozu's hand, with a slightly reckless attitude, "This is the person in charge of the company I found, the boss of Universal Laser, Lin Xiaoming. Definitely A strong man in the industry—"

A strong man against a strong man?
Seeing Lin Xiaoming's face full of smiles that couldn't hide the bitterness in his eyes, and looking at the brand new check on the wine table from the corner of his eye, Wu Xiaozu felt something in his heart.

"Director Wu, I have admired his name for a long time. I didn't expect...to be able to work together." Lin Xiaoming smiled and extended his hand politely.

Ok?
The purple and blue marks on the wrist are particularly eye-catching.

If the later famous film boss in front of him doesn't have any (S) or (M) special preferences, it seems that the way of handling this matter is not difficult to guess.

"Boss Lin, don't be polite. Boss Lin must be a capable person to be chosen by Cai Sheng as a partner."

Wu Xiaozu shook hands tightly, smiling with Hee.When the two passed by, he suddenly said, "Thank you."

It's hard work to meet each other, it must be Jianghu.

Lin Xiaoming almost shed tears from this sudden "hard work".

There are capable people behind capable people, and there are people behind capable people.He only felt that he was the capable person being teased!

Think of this-

Lin Xiaoming glanced at Wu Xiaozu gratefully, almost hit his chest with one fist, and said "You know me!"

Wu Xiaozu doesn't understand him!But Wu Xiaozu doesn't mind showing sympathy that is cheap and free of money.Cai Zhiming acts violently and recklessly.Because, he is used to being in a foreign country, pretending to be ferocious for foreigners to deter those greedy enemies.This is their law of survival.

However, in the business field, rampage is not enough.Obviously, Cai Zhiming did not understand this truth.

Wu Xiaozu didn't want him to understand either.

All he has to do is wait for the time, take off his shoes and get on the kang!
As for Lin Xiaoming...

Wu Xiaozu gave the other party an "equal" attitude and a smiling face. At this time, the other party has already made the other party tearful and grateful.

In the business field, it is not really that you die and I die, but each keeps a line.At that time, the boss said a word to Wu Xiaozu:

True presumptuousness is not about drinking and debauchery, but false reserve should be impassioned.

You have to understand that if you chase everything, you will kill it, and when you cut the weeds, you must get rid of the roots; you must also understand that everything is left in a thread, and the rivers and lakes will meet each other!
This bowl of rice in Jianghu, you can eat it if you can handle it, and die if you can't handle it!

Success or failure, life and death are only in that square inch.

The same is true for human beings!

"Two—"

Cai Zhiming glanced at the two with sharp eyes, and fixed on Wu Xiaozu, "Azu, you told me the other day that today's Hong Kong Island market is a business that makes quick money and a long-term career. One is for the present and the other is for the future. Today , Mr. Cai invited two capable people with lofty ideals to talk about making money and career."

As he spoke, he took a contract from the man with ponytail in his hand, and slammed it on the wine table, "Here is the contract."

Pointing to Wu Xiaozu and Lin Xiaoming again, "You two are here!"

A little bit of yourself, "sincerely invites us to conspire for great things!"

His eyes were fixed on the two of them, like wolves, tigers and leopards, or like poisonous snakes and ghosts.

There are no fools in the rivers and lakes, and only sensible ghosts are slaughtered under the tip of a knife.Pretend to be three points confused to prevent death, and seven points to know how to make a living.

Wu Xiaozu held the wine glass, smiled at the corner of his mouth, squinted his slender eyes, and had the attitude of a "dog-headed military adviser". His eyes flickered and he said with a smile, "Cai Sheng takes the lead, and the future of the laser video business is naturally bright. With the addition of Boss Lin, more Don’t worry about big things—Boss Lin is a professional, so I think Boss Lin has more right to speak?”

"..."

Lin Xiaoming didn't know why this incident suddenly kicked back on him. Looking at Wu Xiaozu with an encouraging smile and Cai Zhiming with sharp eyes, Xiao Ming mistakenly thought that Wu Xiaozu wanted him to perform in front of Cai Zhiming. Thinking of this , with a slightly sore nose, he glanced at Wu Xiaozu gratefully again.

No way, the injured Pisces boy is always so sensual and soft.You wouldn't believe the turmoil that Xiao Ming's children's shoes experienced that day... He thought he would be torn apart!

"Looking at it from a global perspective now—" Xiao Ming decided to show off what he had learned.

"Just analyze the Hong Kong Island first." Cai Zhiming interrupted bluntly.

"The audience's pursuit of entertainment is constantly increasing, and movies are relatively cost-effective items for entertainment consumption. Now that the Hong Kong Island film industry is booming, it will naturally drive the development of film peripheral industries.

I used to work in a western film video rental shop, and I also helped Hong Kong island movie lovers to bring new Hollywood video tapes. I think this area is a blank in Hong Kong Island and even in Southeast Asia—"

Obviously, Xiao Ming has also worked as an overseas purchasing agent, and he is habitually far-sighted.

"With the rapid economic development of Hong Kong Island, the Bay Area, and Southeast Asia, within five years, VCRs will become a relatively common household device. By then, the VCR market will become the biggest piece of fat. Mr. Wu... and Boss Cai's eyes are on fire .”

Lin Xiaoming took a deep breath and continued: "Nowadays, the output value of the video tape market in North America has rapidly caught up with the total box office. The peripheral output value has given Hollywood enough confidence to produce more big-budget movies.

Today, the output value of Hong Kong Island is not commensurate with the overall explosion of Hong Kong films.It may be because video recorders are not yet popular.But the most important thing is that no one sees the value of this big cake.In the future, the value of [-] million, [-] million, or [-] billion is not impossible! "

Wu Xiaozu looked at Xiao Ming deeply, and glanced at Cai Zhiming from the corner of his eye, seeing his ambitious eyes, he felt a little worried.However, the moment Xiao Ming yelled out the number of one billion, Cai Zhiming couldn't help showing sarcasm and contempt.

Apparently, when you told people in 1987 that the production value of peripheral films would be far higher than that of Hong Kong films, very few people would believe it.

Seeing this, Wu Xiaozu felt relieved.But he also looked at Lin Xiaoming with admiration.This guy, who looks a bit like a stand-up show actor, seems to have a few brushes in his stomach.

"The future of the cultural industry can be expected." Lin Xiaoming finally sighed.

"The Hong Kong Island laser video tape market has great prospects, right?" Choi Chi-ming asked bluntly.

Lin Xiaoming was holding a glass of whiskey and almost spit it out.He had the feeling of an antique dealer meeting a peddler in a wholesale handicraft market.

"The laser video market on Hong Kong Island is promising. Especially now that there are too many low-quality video tapes in the market, Cai Sheng, your Dutch equipment will be more popular. It is easy to make a lot of money." Wu Xiaozu explained succinctly.

"En." Lin Xiaoming also nodded helplessly.

"Then how to break through the video tape market? If we slowly cultivate the market, I'm afraid that someone will pick peaches..." Cai Zhiming asked with a satisfied smile.

"Picking peaches? No way!"

Lin Xiaoming explained with full confidence: "First of all, the video tape market has a high threshold. Equipment and workers stop a group of people. And this business channel is very important. Anyone who wants to pick peaches can't take the shortcut route. We just need to master The channel has been blocked, and the possibility of many people participating has been curbed. At the same time—"

"It's fine if someone directly grabs your channel!"

Cai Zhiming said impatiently and coldly, "It's not about making wedding dresses for others."

"But at that time, our growth rate was already very fast, and the market rules were all formulated by us. We were actually not afraid of competition?" Lin Xiaoming retorted with a puzzled expression.

"What rules?"

"Market regulations..."

"Boss Lin—" Wu Xiaozu suddenly reached out and patted Lin Xiaoming on the shoulder, and interjected with a smile, "Let's not discuss market cultivation. The breakthrough that Cai Sheng just proposed is actually very important."

Why is Cai Zhiming worried about picking peaches?My classmate Xiao Ming!

Wu Xiaozu shook his head helplessly.

Cai Zhiming obviously thinks that the development speed is too slow, and wants to speed up the pace and make money faster! !
"Cai Sheng, what do you think of LLL-level movies as a breakthrough point?" Wu Xiaozu made an idea with a serious expression on his face, completely as if he had the chance to win.

"Lll-rated movie?"

Cai Zhiming's eyes lit up, and Lin Xiaoming was also stunned.

"The audience for LLL-level movies is too limited. Not every adult can go to the theater to watch movies. More people may not be able to enter the theater. If we push LLL-level videotapes into the market at this time, is it possible? Maximize profit?" Wu Xiaozu explained.

"That's a good idea! In this way, quick money and career can be achieved at the same time!"

Cai Zhiming was overjoyed and said, "That's how it is. While making LLL-level movies, we are developing the video tape business, making money and making long-term plans."

"It can really speed up the development of the videotape market."

Lin Xiaoming also had an expression of admiration, looking at Wu Xiaozu, couldn't help feeling that when we meet each other, it's hard to find someone who understands my heart.

"Then we will establish a new laser video tape company. I will take 7%, Azu you will take 2%, and Amin will take 1%. Each will contribute proportionately. What do you think?"

With a smile on his face, Cai Zhiming glanced at the two people in front of him.

"Okay, how much does Cai Sheng think I should contribute?" Wu Xiaozu lowered his eyelids and did not question Cai Zhiming's words at all, "Is 200 million enough?"

"No problem!"

Cai Zhiming looked at Lin Xiaoming, and pushed the check on the table in front of him, "You take this money and treat it as the price of your current company. At the same time, I will make a price of 100 million in your company as a share capital."

Lin Xiaoming took the check with a wry smile. One day before when people saw him, they would still call him Boss Lin. One day later, he would become A Ming.

"Azu, your "Cell of Fear" should be an LLL-level movie, right? The box office has been very strong recently, why not take this movie as a pioneering work." Cai Zhiming stared at Wu Xiaozu, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "After we opened Azu can't lower the price too high..."

"Cai Sheng, it's true that I am the director of "Cell of Fear", but who is the propagandist jumping up and down now?"

Wu Xiaozu spread his hands innocently, and said truthfully, "Let me tell you the truth, this movie is actually a movie funded by the Xiang family and two clubs, and I am a passing God of Wealth..."

Now Xiang Shenglai is in charge of all the promotional work of "Fear Room", with Dao Scarquan and Shanghai Tsai behind him.

Wu Xiaozu wanted Cai Zhiming to investigate this point.As for the inside, would Xiang Sheng tell him that this movie involves "money laundering"? ?

Looking at Cai Zhiming's fearful eyes, Wu Xiaozu sneered in his heart, Xiang Shisan's tiger skin is still extremely useful.Even if Cai Zhi is not afraid of tomorrow, he still has to worry about Xin'an's 20 members, right?
"Actually, I have a movie that's a good fit for—"

Wu Xiaozu pondered for a moment, and seeing Cai Zhiming and the two of them looked over, he said nonsense without rushing, "I had a movie called "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" last year. This movie was very popular in the market at that time, and the audience scrambling for the first--

The scene at that time was huge. If it wasn't for the competitors who encouraged all taxi drivers in Hong Kong to protest, the extended screening of the movie would definitely be a hit at the box office!Boss Lin should have heard about it, right? "Wu Xiaozu kicked the ball to Lin Xiaoming.

Sure enough, Cai Zhiming looked at Lin Xiaoming inquiringly.

"...uh... I've heard something about it."

Lin Xiaoming thought for a while, then nodded and admitted, "At that time, "Rainy Night Butcher" had a very strong response. However, due to external factors, Director Wu and the main creative staff came out to burn copies and forced the release.

The entire social edition is full of news about "Rainy Night Butcher".It was also the first time I saw a film directed by Wu at that time.

If it is this movie, the market should be looking forward to it. "

"How is it anticipation? It must be quite anticipation! It's just—hey!!" Wu Xiaozu's eyes showed grief and indignation, and he let out a long sigh helplessly, which contained sadness and depression, and there was also a trace of helplessness towards life. Cai Zhiming and Lin Xiaoming both listened Show curiosity.

"Is there any inside story?"

"Cai Sheng knows about Lei's family and Princess Jin, right?" Wu Xiaozu continued to blame.

"Entertainment tycoon, of course I know!" Cai Zhiming nodded.

"what!"

Lin Xiaoming opened his mouth in shock, and said in disbelief: "Could it be true that the rumor that the Lei family suppressed this drama was true?" After speaking, he nodded in agreement, "I think it should be. Only the Lei family can mobilize all A Hong Kong taxi resistance drama..."

"That's why I say this drama is more suitable. First, the market has great expectations, and second, there are plenty of topics. Third, this drama is also more controversial—" Wu Xiaozu forced a smile, "The only thing I worry about is Lei's family." reaction……"

"The Lei family is nothing to worry about." Cai Zhiming waved his hands indifferently, "Since this drama is in our interests, there is no reason for the Lei family to let the money they get go without making any money!"

"Since this is the case, I happen to be very familiar with Young Master Jiang of Antai Pictures. The copy of this movie is in his hands. I believe he can get it at a discounted price." , "I knew it earlier, I left a copy at the beginning. Now I can only buy the last copy..."

"how much?"

"Hundreds of thousands are always there!"

Wu Xiaozu analyzed, "This film is the first work of Liang Jiahui's comeback, and it is also the work that won the Best Actor Award at the Academy Awards."

"Okay, Azu, you go talk, you can win within 20!"

Cai Zhiming said coldly, "If it's more expensive...I'll take the initiative to ask Boss Jiang to discuss the price."

Standing not far away, Fei Cheng, Luo Dong and Su Liyao were spanking with Cai Zhiming's horse boy.

Uh, the main reason is that one person chooses the other group.

Thais, Europeans and native horsemen were all fascinated by Fat Chengkan.

When Wu Xiaozu walked out of the bar, he had another company share on him.
