The news of Wu Xiaozu coming to New Art City was not publicized, so when the staff of New Art City saw Wu Xiaozu appearing in the company, they were surprised and stunned.

At this time, Xinyi City was not panicked, but there was indeed a sense of confusion, hesitation and impetuousness.

Mecca, Huang Baiming, and Ishida's three big bosses have clearly set out their plans and horses, which makes the atmosphere inside New Art City depressed. In addition, the results of the summer and Christmas files have not met expectations, and many employees do not know where the road ahead is.

His abrupt appearance at this point in time shocked countless people, and at the same time made some people think about it.

"Wu Sheng—"

A staff member personally led Wu Xiaozu, Li Zhi and bodyguards to the office area.

Along the way, many people looked different.Watching him enter Mecca's office.

Thoughts are very different.

...

Huang Baiming, who was white, clean, polite and dressed in a dark suit, stood in front of the window.

"Oh, never thought that Mai Sir invited Azu to come in?"

A hoarse and deep voice came from behind the boss's desk, showing a bit of scalp, with his legs resting on the table, and jokingly said: "This reminds me that we all advised him not to accept Golden Harvest's money to film "The Best Lucky Star" a few years ago. "..."

At the beginning, when the confrontation between Golden Harvest and New Art City was the most intense, Mecca, the leading brother, received a large amount of remuneration from Golden Harvest to help Sanmao film "The Best Lucky Star" as an actor. It almost made New Art City turn into a dog's brain at that time.

According to Mecca, as a well-known actor, it makes no sense for me not to earn a million-dollar salary, right? ?
But this incident really drove the rest of New Art City crazy!
"In the end, the copy he ordered to be burned saved our face, otherwise... In 86, New Art City would have been disbanded!"

At the beginning, Tsui Hark brought his frustrated good brother Bole Wu Yusen back from Wanwan, and gave him the "The True Colors of Heroes" that he planned to shoot by himself. No matter how many shots are taken, they will be burned.

Worrying Wu Yusen~ Drinking on set one after another, Di Long almost beat him up!

In fact, Wu Yusen's pseudonym Wu Shangfei filmed the opening work "Funny Times" of New Art City at the time. You must know that he had a contract with Golden Harvest at the time.Later, Mecca begged him to make another film, and Wu Yusen almost squeezed his head even bigger, so he recommended Tsui Hark...

So it is not unreasonable to say that Tsui Hark and Wu Yusen fell in love and killed each other!It is impossible to say who has achieved who, who is whose Bole!

Later, Wu Yusen got tired of shooting comedy films and left Golden Harvest. It was not for no reason, but Mecca personally invited him.

That's why Wu Baige said later: "Because someone promised me that if I leave Golden Harvest Company and join them, they can let me shoot what I want to shoot."

In fact...how could it be possible for Mecca to let him shoot whatever he wanted, and directly let him take over Zhang Aijia's job...continue to make comedies.

That's why when he knew that Wu Yusen resisted his will and made a heroic film about a lone killer like "The True Colors of a Hero", he uttered such cruel words!

In short, the entanglement in this matter is too deep~ Mecca is indeed a businessman!
Huang Baiming took off his glasses, wiped them lightly with a cloth in his hand, and put them on again, "Who would have thought that New Art City, which forced the two-line screening of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, would come to an end? yes--

Thinking back, we were still counting on Azu two years ago, but we didn't expect him to be the winner now.

Thinking about it now, when he helped Sir Chen and Sir Feng Jinglei establish the Xinbao Cinemas, in fact, he was already doomed for the future of Xinyi City! "

"There is more than one big financial backer... Now he is the big financial backer himself! To be honest, he has become Wu [-] billion for the same movie, and we seniors have to rely on others for food.

Today, Mecca invited the other party to solve the problem of New Art City, but in fact I am not the same... Peter was poached by others to film. "Boss Zeng laughed at himself in a male duck voice, his eyes circling back and forth.

"But this time you did it quite decisively~ Don't allow Sir Mai to be ruthless."

"Oh, you don't understand. In fact..." Huang Baiming stared at Zeng Zhiwei, and suddenly smiled. This old friend is not a good friend, and he has already noticed the insincere words.

"People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. I don't care about myself. A group of people behind me follow me for food. I have to be responsible for them, right?"

"Of course, after the days of conquering the world with passion, each has its own plans." Zeng Zhiwei said with twinkling eyes.

"By the way, why do you think the group of seven separated?" Huang Baiming asked inexplicably with soft eyes and a gentle smile.

Zeng Zhiwei glanced at Huang Baiming, shrugged, and jokingly said, "Make money~ Is it really for art?"

Huang Baiming laughed.

This year, there is another main reason why New Arts City has come to an end - the film studio has finally started to bypass New Arts City for production and distribution, and is directly responsible for the Golden Princess.

This made what Tsui Hark said when he left became a joke.

Tsui Hark said when he left: You have a big family, I want to build a gazebo in the garden, and that pavilion is mine, the big family shares big tea and rice, but I don’t want to eat big tea and rice, but snacks, of course, I still Looking for food in the yard...

This time, the film studio really started anew!
In fact, even though it was said to be a seven-member struggle group, in fact Mecca himself made the decision!He advocates process-based things, emphasizing that the company's honor is greater than that of individuals.

This is of course beneficial to him.

Mecca didn't invest in New Art City in his own name. In fact, he and Princess Jin formed Studio Movie (Hong Kong Island) Co., Ltd. This company accounts for 72% of New Art City's shares. Among them, Studio Company, He owns 49% of the shares. After calculation, he owns more than 35% of the shares of New Art City, which is a proper major shareholder!

At the beginning, Lei Juekun was not one of the princesses in the Golden Princess, and Chen Rongmei, Feng Bingzhong, Wu Zhao and others also had shares.This also shows that Mecca has actually always been the largest shareholder of the individual.

and so--

From the beginning to the end, he not only represents the major shareholder, but also participates in the creation. Therefore, the so-called "behind-the-scenes bosses do not intervene in creative affairs" and "creation without hierarchy" are the propaganda that the seven people of New Art City especially emphasized in the film circle. , it's just talking and watching...

"So, Sir Zeng, you returned to Xinyi City today, you don't just want to stay with me and scold Mecca with me, do you?"

Huang Baiming changed his voice, directly exposed Zeng Zhiwei's disguise, and said bluntly: "Aren't you also here today to share a piece of the pie?"

"Ha... I really care... Well, I know you understand."

Zeng Zhiwei laughed, put his legs down, and stared at Huang Baiming seriously, "Who is not jealous of the success of Locomotive [-]? Are you willing to leave in such a dispirited way?

This year...no...I forgot it was '89.Last year, the cost of movies increased sharply, and the wages of cast members doubled.

This is already an era when capital is rampant in the film industry. You don't really think that you can start anew by yourself, do you?
Times have changed. It is not the year when one person can make a movie with 5 yuan.

You want to shoot a New Year's Eve movie now, and you can't make up a star lineup without a thousand and 800 million!So, of course, you must have the support of a big benefactor—"

Zeng Zhiwei looked at Huang Baiming with a smile on his face, pointed to his nose and asked, "Don't you still count on Second Young Master Lei?"

Huang Baiming's eyes bent behind his glasses and he smiled teasingly, "Am I looking for you poor man?"

"Of course I can't!" Zeng Zhiwei spread his hands with a hippie smile, and his expression changed again, "Good Friends Film Company can make money this year, naturally it has the support of the rich and powerful!"

"Wanwan Capital? Don't forget, the relationship between Mecca, Wu Xiaozu and Wanwan Capital is no worse than ours!"

"Wanwan's funds are part of it, and of course there are other resources." Zeng Zhiwei smiled meaningfully, and threw a magazine on the table over, "What about this boss?"

Huang Baiming grabbed it.

Turning over the magazine, revealing the name --- "New Era".

This magazine belongs to Yulang International Co., Ltd. together with many best-selling magazines such as "Yulang TV", "Youth", "Fresh Weekly", "Star TV", "Xiangjiang Daily" and "Financial Daily"!
The benefactor behind it is self-evident!

……

The other floor of New Art City Film Company is a bit dull and out of place compared to other office areas.

In an office with the blinds drawn, a young man with a briefcase tried to speak: "Uncle Cheng?"

on the chair.

Black and white half-length hair, a pair of Dou Wentao's same round myopia glasses on a long face, and a thick beard around his lips.

The nasolabial folds are deep, dull and serious, the lips are slightly upturned, and it looks very lonely.

"Ok??"

"Immigration is very serious. Nowadays, many middle-class people are looking for immigrants, and a large number of properties are sold. However, the real estate sector is both sluggish and active. Commercial real estate is going against the trend. Chinese land has taken a lot of land, but the price of luxury houses It plummeted..." Seeing that the other party had regained his senses, the young man quickly took the initiative to report.

"Oh--"

Ishida responded, then came to his senses, forced a smile, "People abandon me.

Ah Jin, just follow our plan.The economy of Hong Kong Island will not collapse, and the problem can be seen from the continuous rise of land housing prices. "

"Ok."

The assistant named Ah Jin nodded, opened his mouth hesitantly, and asked bravely: "Uncle Cheng, are you still worried about Xinyi City? When I just came up, a staff member said that Wu Xiaozu had entered Mecca office...

In fact, you don't need to worry, the things in New Art City were not caused by you.If you really follow your selfishness, your selfishness is much lighter than theirs.

Besides, now that Boss Mai and Boss Huang are fighting each other, I think we have to find a way, maybe Sir Wu, a strong support..."

Ishida was originally named Liuweicheng, and the young man in front of him is also his nephew from his own family. He has been working in the Wuyi Chamber of Commerce for the past two years.Ishida is also active in the Wuyi Hong Kong Island Chamber of Commerce, serving as the vice president.

After "The True Colors of Heroes 2", he focused more on real estate, stocks, and gold, but that didn't mean he didn't have feelings for New Art City!

"Maybe New Art City will be closed down!" Ishida said suddenly.

The cloudy triangular eyes showed a mocking look.

"Wu Xiaozu~ He eats people but doesn't spit out his bones, I'm afraid Mecca has the same thoughts this time... Both of them are also the same kind... No, three people!"

Ishida shook his head, "People always change..."

The voice gradually became weaker, and he said to himself: "At the beginning, Maijia joked that the main reason why he valued us was that he was willing to suffer!
Now think about it, is it a joke!
At the beginning, when he asked him to act, I agreed without hesitation. Since I spent money on props such as fake beards, plasters, pipes and glasses, I never considered any remuneration!I didn't ask...

Also, Mecca asked Zeng Zhiwei to act in the movie "Chasing Girls", but last month this year, when Zeng Zhiwei and I were drinking tea in the peninsula, I found out that the company did not pay him for the film.

There were countless such things back then.

Mecca once said to me when he was drunk, "Huang Baiming is a fool, he doesn't care about money, he doesn't care about working hours, he works hard - heh!"

Who would have thought that what he thought was a fool in the past would play him off, and let the big production he supervised run aground... it really is..."

"This..." Ah Jin was a little unbelievable, he didn't expect that there was such an inside story in New Art City.

"This method may be of great benefit in the early stage, but after each of them matures in the later stage, the disadvantages appear... In fact, I have been mentally prepared for a few years. New Art City will not last long..."

Ishida smiled when he said this, "I'm afraid Mecca knows it too!"

"Could it be that such a brilliant New Art City is really about to come to an end? Impossible—" Ah Jin was a little skeptical.

New Art City is definitely an indelible mark for many Hong Kong films in this decade.

Moreover, the hugeness of New Art City is indeed obvious to all. He couldn't believe that such a giant would fall down as soon as it said it would fall.

"Lonely is lonely, that's good...You say they have selfish intentions, why don't I? Everyone wisely chose the way out, so in this way, the company will naturally be cut off from all ways out!
Mecca has a backup, why not Huang Baiming?Even I, a much quieter person, is sneaking around, so there is no need for everyone to pretend to be deaf and dumb and whitewash the peace! "

"Will the Lei family agree?" Ajin asked in disbelief.

"What about agreeing? What about disagreeing?"

Ishida poked the mirror holder with his finger, "It doesn't matter if you can make money! Just watch, maybe—Princess Jin hopes to promote this cooperation even more!

Can't this investment be wasted abruptly, right?How about tens of millions... Mecca has also been involved in real estate and other businesses these two days, how many tens of millions do you think he has to pay?

wait~
Wait until they finish talking! "

Like Ishida, Huang Baiming was also waiting for Wu Xiaozu to finish talking with Mecca, and at the same time, many people were staring at him.

Xinbao Cinemas, Golden Princess Entertainment Company, Wanwan Capital... and even countless unknown people.

Some people can see it clearly, some people can see it roughly, and some people are confused.

But everyone knows that Wu Xiaozu is Mecca's foreign aid this time!
I don't know...

Can you really hit ten one by one and turn the tide!
