Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 216
Lin Baicheng, who returned to Xiangjiang, did not go to Hutchison Whampoa immediately the next day. Instead, he went to Star Films first and contacted someone at the same time.

"Mr. Lin, you are back in Xiangjiang!"

When Wu Siyuan saw Lin Baicheng, he was a little surprised because he didn't know beforehand that Lin Baicheng had returned from the United States.

"Well, I just came back yesterday."

Lin Baicheng nodded. When he came back, he didn't notify the heads of the various companies in Xiangjiang.

"Tell me roughly how the company has developed in the past two months or so."

Lin Baicheng and Wu Siyuan walked to the office, met Huang Baiming on the way, and said hello.

"Ok."

When he arrived at the office, Wu Siyuan reported aloud: "The company is currently shooting a film with Cheng Long as the main character. The film is temporarily named "Snake-shaped Hand". Because Mr. Lin, you found my relationship, so it was postponed until now."

"This is a Kung Fu martial arts movie, but unlike Bruce Lee's martial arts movies, this movie has added some comedy elements, hard bridge and hard horse real kung fu plus humorous action design, which can highlight Cheng Long's flexible skills. After all, Cheng Long is not Bruce Lee, if he completely imitates Bruce Lee, I am worried that the film will not be popular."

"The director of the film is Zeng Zhiwei from the contracted company. I found Yuan Heping as the assistant director. He has a high level of motion design and can assist Zeng Zhiwei in making a good film."

"The shooting of the film has been going on for a while, and it will be finished in a few days. Currently, the film is being filmed on the Asian TV station, and we have borrowed the venue there."

"The company itself has only made this film for the time being, but Huang Baiming is currently writing the script, and the company will make new films later."

Although Lin Baicheng has never seen the movie "Snake Shaped Hand", he knows it.Because "Serpentine Hands" and "Drunken Master" are Cheng Long's famous works, so he has an impression.

"Among the several companies that cooperate with the company, Xu's Films is currently filming a film called "Deed of Sale". Xu Guangwen wrote and directed it himself, and the three brothers starred in it. About half of the film is currently filmed. "

Lin Baicheng has no impression of this movie. What he does remember is "Half Weight", but this movie has been released since 76.

"The New Art City Film Company established by Mejia and Shi Tian is shooting a comedy called "Salted Fish Reborn". Both Mejia and Shi Tian are the leading actors. In addition, they also invited Hong Jin Bao is the lead actor, Mecca himself is the producer and director, and the film is still being filmed."

"Finally, the Seven Little Fortunes Film Company established by Kamburg Hung and the others. They are filming two films, "Tiger Frog" and "Mr. Zan and Changqianhua". .”

All the films are in the process of being filmed, and there is no other way. After all, filming is almost started, and it took some time to set up a company, so no film has been completed yet.

Among the three cooperative film companies, the reason why Seven Little Fortune Film Company can shoot two films at the same time is not because Hong Jinbao and others are richer, but because they chose to let Star Films take 51% of the shares. The shares they got less.

Two months ago, after deliberation, Jinbao finally established Seven Little Fortunes Film Company with his juniors who were willing to leave Golden Harvest, and chose to cooperate with Star Films.After consideration, they decided to allow Star Pictures to hold more shares so that they could gain more support.

Seven Little Fortunes Film Company, Kam Po Hung and others didn't pay a penny, but the price was that they signed a five-year contract with Seven Little Fortunes Film Company, so they received a capital injection of 300 million Hong Kong dollars from Star Films.In other words, this film company is valued at nearly 600 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not low, after all, the company has nothing.

This is because Lin Baicheng valued Hong Jinbao and others, so he gave a high price. Otherwise, according to Wu Siyuan's intention, one or two million Hong Kong dollars would be enough, after all, it was only a five-year contract.

With a fund of 300 million Hong Kong dollars, although it cost some money to buy equipment and props, the remaining money is enough for the company to shoot several films, and it is not a big deal to start shooting two films at the same time.

For today's Hong Kong movies, the shooting cost of a film is usually only 20 million Hong Kong dollars, a little more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars, and even more it is about 50 Hong Kong dollars.

After all, the box office champions of movies in this era did not exceed 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office of most films was only around 400 million Hong Kong dollars. If the cost of the film is too high, how can the production company make money?

Lin Baicheng said aloud: "Except for the Seven Little Fortune Film Company, the management of the other two companies should not interfere. They can shoot whatever they want, as long as they send someone to watch over the finances."

"I do it all the time."

Wu Siyuan nodded to express his understanding. Lin Baicheng had already explained this when the two parties communicated on the phone.

Nodding his head, Lin Baicheng asked, "Is there any reaction from Golden Harvest and Shaw Films?"

"The boss of Shaw Brothers Shao Daheng has already planned to withdraw from the film industry, so the number of films shot by Shaw Brothers has been decreasing in recent years, so there is no response."

Speaking of Shaw Brothers Films, Wu Siyuan continued: "Golden Harvest Company, on the other hand, has not only improved employee salaries, but also given preferential treatment to cooperative companies. The box office share of other film companies' releases has also shortened the payment time. What's more, Golden Harvest also learned from our Star Films, looking for cooperation with other filmmakers or film companies, let Golden Harvest become a shareholder, and deepen the cooperative relationship between the two parties."

"The competition with Golden Harvest Company has not really started yet, after all, none of our company's films have been screened."

Lin Baicheng said, but with many excellent talents from Golden Harvest Company being recruited, and Asia TV in hand, he was not worried that Star Pictures would not be able to compete with Golden Harvest Company at all.

"Boss Lin, Miss Lin Qingxia is here."

Lin Baicheng and Wu Siyuan were chatting when Qin Lan knocked on the door and walked in.

"Then let's stop talking here today."

Lin Baicheng said something to Wu Siyuan upon hearing the words, then got up and walked outside.

When he was in Los Angeles, Lin Baicheng knew that Lin Qingxia had come to Xiangjiang. Lin Qingxia contacted him through Deng Lijun and expressed her intention to come to Xiangjiang for development. Lin Baicheng, who had completed the research and development of office software, naturally rushed back to Xiangjiang.

Coming to the office area outside, Lin Baicheng saw Lin Qingxia who hadn't seen him for a long time.Lin Qingxia was the only one who came this time, and Deng Lijun didn't come with her, because Deng Lijun went to Japan, and she, a well-known singer, was very busy.
