Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 522 Turning behind the scenes, disillusioned (two in one)

After the storm.

Momoe Yamaguchi was lying in Lin Baicheng's arms, but Lin Baicheng had entered the time of the sage.

The two talked about what happened around them recently, chatting without saying a word.

The two chatted for a while, and Momoe Yamaguchi said: "Mr. Cheng, I am going to gradually withdraw and turn behind the scenes."

"Is there no problem with Sony Records?"

Lin Baicheng couldn't help asking, Momoe Yamaguchi is very popular now, she wants to quit the circle, I'm afraid Sony Records won't let go of this cash cow.

"Well, I have negotiated with the company."

Yamaguchi Baihui said softly: "My cooperation will end at the end of next year. I have already negotiated with the company that I will not renew the contract next year. The company can hide me, and I can accept my retirement. However, the company hopes that I can continue To make money for the company requires me to cooperate, so I negotiated some conditions with the company."

"I try to cooperate with the company as much as possible before the end of the contract, but the company can't squeeze me desperately, give me time to rest, and at the same time, the company can't interfere if I accept private work."

"I'm not quitting the circle right away, but slowly."

"As long as you think there is no problem."

Lin Baicheng nodded, Momoe Yamaguchi has her life and career, he doesn't need to arrange these, and he can't make the decision for Momoe Yamaguchi, after all, he and Momoe Yamaguchi don't even have a business relationship, Momoe Yamaguchi wants to leave He can leave at any time.

"Chengjun, I want to go behind the scenes but I need your support."

Momoe Yamaguchi slightly raised her head to look at Lin Baicheng's face. Compared to ordinary people, she was a bit wealthy, but that amount of money was not much at all, at least not enough to support her independence.

"As long as I can do it, I will definitely support it."

Lin Baicheng looked down at Momoe Yamaguchi in his arms. Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. should be a toy for Momoe Yamaguchi. Of course it would be best if it could grow bigger and stronger. The investment is not large.

"Thank you, Chengjun."

Although Lin Baicheng had made a promise before, Momoe Yamaguchi was still very happy to hear what Lin Baicheng said.

Lin Baicheng asked aloud: "You want to go behind the scenes, do you have any ideas at present?"

Yamaguchi Baihui said: "Yes, it is actually because of this incident that I decided to start turning behind the scenes."

"Tell me."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help being curious.

"A while ago, director Kun Ichikawa approached me with Mr. Kawabata Yasunari's novel, and wanted to invite me to play the twin roles in the novel "Ancient Capital", one person playing two roles."

""The Ancient Capital" is a novella, which is quite famous in our country, otherwise, Master Ichikawa would not have thought of adapting this novel. After reading the novel and the adapted script, I decided to accept the invitation to play the character in the play. Two roles."

"However, at that time, Master Ichikawa told me that the funds for the filming had not yet been secured, but he told me not to worry, saying that the crew would soon find a co-producer. With Master Ichikawa's reputation, I have no doubts at all."

"At that time, I suddenly thought about investing in this film, and learning how to be a producer through the shooting time, so as to lay the foundation for turning to the behind-the-scenes in the future."

Momoe Yamaguchi told Lin Baicheng the general outline of the matter.

Lin Baicheng asked: "Then, did Kun Ichikawa and the production company of "Ancient Capital" agree to jointly invest with Baihuifeng Co., Ltd?"

"I talked to Master Ichikawa about this matter, and he contacted the production company, and the other party had no objection, but I said it would take a few days to reply to Master Ichikawa, so it is still not decided on my side."

Momoe Yamaguchi replied, and then stood up slightly: "Mr. Cheng, the production cost of this film is about 7000 million yen. Another production company will contribute half of the capital, and we will contribute the other half, which is 3500 million yen."

"It's only 3500 million yen. Keiko, you can decide for yourself. You must know that you are the chairman of Baihuifeng Co., Ltd."

Lin Baicheng immediately said that 3500 million sounds like a lot, but the currency unit is Japanese yen, which is only 70 Hong Kong dollars when converted into Hong Kong dollars.

In Hong Kong, the production cost of a film of 70 Hong Kong dollars is already very high, not to mention the cost of 140 million Hong Kong dollars, but the film market is different, and the production cost is naturally different.

In today's Japan, a movie worth less than HK$100 million can only be considered a small-budget film, a film worth between HK$100 million and HK$200 million can be considered a medium-cost movie, and a movie worth more than HK$200 million can be considered a huge investment.

The production cost of "Ancient Capital" is 140 million Hong Kong dollars, which is considered a medium-level production cost among the medium-level production costs. It can be said that it is not high or low, and it is in the middle.

"Although that's what I said, Makoto, you and Iwasaki-san are the largest shareholders of the company. For such a large investment project, without your consent, I dare not make decisions casually. What if I lose money. "

Momoe Yamaguchi couldn't help shaking her head when she heard this. Of course she knew that she was the chairman of Baihuifeng Co., Ltd., but she only had 20% of the company's shares. Regarding the company's major investment, she must inform Lin Baicheng, and only dare to do it with Lin Baicheng's support Decide.

Lin Baicheng couldn't help laughing: "If you lose, you will lose, what else can you do?"

"That won't work."

Yamaguchi Baihui disagreed: "Since I have decided to go behind the scenes and become a producer and boss in the future, the company's investment must make money. It is normal to have losses occasionally, and I can accept it, but if I Every investment is a loss, so how can I do things in the future? How can I have the confidence to do things?"

"Keiko, you are so self-motivated, I will support you."

Lin Baicheng patted the beautiful woman in his arms with emotion. Since Momoe Yamaguchi is self-motivated, he will naturally support him vigorously, and at the same time put away his indifferent attitude. It is for her to deal with Momoe Yamaguchi with this attitude no respect.

"Thank you, Chengjun."

Momoe Yamaguchi smiled slightly, she needed Lin Baicheng's financial support, but she also needed Lin Baicheng's respect in personality.

Lin Baicheng: "But Huizi, I'm really not familiar with the entertainment industry in your country. If you want me to give you some advice, I really can't help it. The advice I can give you is to recruit the outstanding talents in the industry that you think When you come to our company, whether you are a director or a screenwriter, after all, no matter whether it is a movie or a TV series, it is made by people, and it is relatively easier for excellent talents to produce excellent works."

"Chengjun, I will remember what you said."

Momoe Yamaguchi said: "However, our company is still small, and the company is not well-known now. It is basically impossible to recruit celebrities in the circle. So, I think this way. In terms of film and television dramas, the company started with a few years ago Cooperate with other companies to invest mainly in filming, and wait for the company to gradually become familiar with the rules of the industry and the production of film and television dramas before investing exclusively."

"As for records, singers can cultivate themselves, and I can guide the artists of the company. The company is responsible for record production, and cooperates with other big companies in distribution. During the cooperation, the company's own channels will be established. After the company has distribution channels, the record company will even It was developed in Japan."

"Okay Keiko, what you said is really good."

Lin Baicheng looked at Momoe Yamaguchi in surprise, but he didn't expect Momoe Yamaguchi to be more powerful than he expected.

"Chengjun, I'm actually not as powerful as you think."

Yamaguchi Momoe was a little embarrassed by Lin Baicheng: "Many of them were actually told by President Koji Ida to me. I thought it made sense, so I agreed to his development plan. Xiang Chengjun, you said so."

"Even so, Keiko, you are amazing."

While Lin Baicheng was stunned, he comforted Yamaguchi Momoe, he didn't want to hurt Yamaguchi Momoe.

Momoe Yamaguchi said solemnly: "I know I still have many shortcomings, but I will study hard."

"Well, work hard."

Lin Baicheng didn't say that it doesn't matter whether he works hard or not, he knew that this was what Momoe Yamaguchi wanted to hear.

"The movie "Ancient Capital" is mainly up to you. If you think it's good, then invest boldly. If you don't take this step, you won't even have a chance to learn, don't you think?"

"Ok!"

Momoe Yamaguchi responded, and said, "Master Ichikawa is a well-known director in his country. Although the commercial nature of "The Ancient Capital" is not strong, I believe that with Master Ichikawa's ability, the possibility of recovering the cost of the film is still very high."

Lin Baicheng reminded: "Since you said so, don't hesitate any longer. Sometimes you should act decisively."

"Well, with your support, Mr. Cheng, I feel much more at ease."

Momoe Yamaguchi nodded: "I will find time to contact Master Ichikawa and let Ida-san be in charge of negotiating the investment contract."

Lin Baicheng agreed and said: "You just make the decision, and the specific work is handed over to the people below. This is good for everyone."

"Well, I see."

Momoe Yamaguchi responded.

Time passed slowly in the chat between Lin Baicheng and Yamaguchi Baihui.

When Lin Baicheng and Yamaguchi Momoe came to the villa, it was already evening, and Chiba Nanako was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV.

"Nanako, are you still there?"

Lin Baicheng looked at Nanako Chiba with satisfaction. In fact, it didn't matter if Nanako Chiba was not there. After all, he and Momoe Yamaguchi stayed upstairs for several hours, but it would be better if Nanako Chiba was there.

Chiba Nanako got up and said, "I've been here all the time. Chairman, if you have any needs, I will do it for you as soon as possible."

Lin Baicheng said with a smile: "You don't have to follow at night, today is Saturday, go to rest."

"Okay, Chairman, Miss Yamaguchi, then I will take my leave first."

Chiba Nanako said as she bowed and walked out of the villa.

After Chiba Nanako left, Momoe Yamaguchi said to Lin Baicheng, "Should I call Matsuda over and let's go have dinner together?"

"No need, just the two of us."

Lin Baicheng knew that the Matsuda that Momoe Yamaguchi said was Seiko Matsuda. Although he didn't know what Momoe Yamaguchi meant by that, he knew very well what kind of answer he should make at this time.

Momoe Yamaguchi smiled and said: "It's okay, let's call Matsuda over to have dinner together, I want to get to know her formally."

Lin Baicheng still said: "I think it's fine for the two of us to be together."

Momoe Yamaguchi said sincerely: "Mr. Cheng, I really want to get to know her formally. I don't think she would mind getting to know me formally. She should be mentally prepared for this."

"Are you sure you're serious?"

Lin Baicheng looked at Baihui Yamaguchi seriously, wanting to know if she was joking.

"Of course I'm serious!"

Momoe Yamaguchi nodded solemnly.

"Since you said so, let me contact her. I hope I can contact her now."

Seeing what Yamaguchi Baihui said, Lin Baicheng took her seriously, and walked towards the phone while talking.

Naturally, Momoe Yamaguchi is not trying to test Lin Baicheng. She is very clear that the possibility of her and Lin Baicheng entering the marriage hall is extremely low. together.

Momoe Yamaguchi knew that Lin Baicheng must have other women, and Haruko Mori was probably one of them, and Seiko Matsuda was definitely one of them, and Seiko Matsuda stayed in the same company as her. When she decided to After turning behind the scenes, the two will meet more often in the future. Since they have to meet sooner or later, it is better to meet now.

Nowadays, mobile phones have not yet appeared, so the contact between people is actually very inconvenient, even if there is a Call machine, after all, sometimes you don’t notice it.

Fortunately, Lin Baicheng got in touch with Matsuda Seiko, and when Matsuda Seiko learned that he asked her to have dinner with her and that she would introduce another woman to her, she agreed with complicated emotions.

Seiko Matsuda knew that her relationship with Lin Baicheng was just a deal, but she was still young, unlike Momoe Yamaguchi who entered the entertainment industry early, she still had fantasies, Lin Baicheng fulfilled her fantasy of Prince Charming, she always thought that Lin Baicheng was Her prince charming, but now this fantasy is about to be shattered.

"Senior Yamaguchi!"

When she saw Momoe Yamaguchi appearing with Lin Baicheng on her arm, Seiko Matsuda was shocked. Momoe Yamaguchi was her idol, and she never thought that her idol had the same man as herself.

"Holy Son, can I call you that?"

Looking at Seiko Matsuda in front of her, Momoe Yamaguchi seemed to see her former self.

"Yes, Yamaguchi-senpai!"

After the shock, Matsuda Seiko couldn't help being surprised to see the idol, and at the same time, the original anger towards the unknown woman dissipated a lot.

At dinner this evening, Lin Baicheng basically didn't say much, watching Momoe Yamaguchi and Seiko Matsuda chat quietly.The two women chatted very well, and soon got together, like good sisters.

Lin Baicheng wasn't sure if the two of them were doing superficiality, but even so he didn't mind, as long as they were good sisters in front of him, as long as the relationship was not bad enough to fight when he was away The degree will do.

As long as a man is a man, he has the mind of one dragon and two phoenixes, and Lin Baicheng is no exception. He very much hopes that Momoe Yamaguchi and Seiko Matsuda can really become good sisters and let him achieve this kind of achievement.
