the longest dream

Chapter 247 Huaxing Acquired
Tseung Kwan O, TVB headquarters building.

In the chairman's office, Zhang Qing looked at Xia Mo and said with a smile, "Are you still used to it?"

Xia Mo nodded, and Wang Ruolin looked at Xia Mo as if he liked him, and praised Zhang Qing: "Mo Zai is really good, he was born to be an actor. He usually doesn't talk much, his face is cool, I thought he couldn't liberate his nature. Unexpectedly, Mo Zai did a good job. Yang Guo is both good and evil, cool when he is cool, and evil when he is evil. Mo Zai can do it all, in acting , he is a genius."

Zhang Qing looked at him with admiration, looked at Xia Mo with a smile and said, "Excellent, Master has a high vision, it seems really good to be able to praise you like this."

Qiao Beiyan said slowly: "Some people are born to eat this bowl of rice. His situation is a bit like Hu Xianzuo back then. He was very calm in private, but when he was on the stage, he had to be insane and insane, and he had to be visible. But Xia Mo was luckier than Hu Xianzuo. Hu Xianzuo was so popular that no one in the younger generation could outshine him. As a result, he was suppressed and had no one to back him up. With Qingzi at the end of Xia, you will go farther. The same goes for beautiful girls."

Wang Ruolin recalled and said with emotion: "Back then, it was really overwhelming black material, and the whole Hong Kong people who stirred it up scolded together. In fact, they didn't know what the hell they were scolding. Girl, many actresses are so disappointed, so there have been a lot of newspapers criticizing her recently."

Zhang Qing glanced at Zhou Yanyan, who was standing beside him with a smile, and asked, "You were scolded? Why haven't you heard of it?"

Zhou Yanyan said indifferently, "They can scold them if they want, and I don't read newspapers."

It's not that I really don't want to read it, it's just... how should I put it, I don't know traditional Chinese characters well, and the vertical version is also tiring.

Zhang Qing was speechless, while Qiao Beiyan laughed and said, "Naughty girls are born blessed, and your Aunt Fang loves her so much."

Wang Ruolin also smiled and said, "If you don't lie, sincerity is precious. It's just a headache for her, and it's the same when she was interviewed... Please, this is not Little Dragon Girl at all!" Big head.

Zhou Yanyan smiled and did not explain, Zhang Qing explained: "Uncle Ruolin, Yanyan will not only play characters like Little Dragon Girl in the future, I will try to broaden her path. I can be glamorous and frosty, but I can also be elegant and unparalleled, but cute, pungent and pungent. Savage, even rustic, are available. I have high expectations for her, and hope that she will not only live in a mask in the future."

Wang Ruolin was moved when he heard the words, and after looking at each other with Qiao Beiyan, they felt a little unbelievable.

Is Zhou Yanyan good-looking?

Of course it's good-looking, boasting that it's gorgeous in the world, there's nothing wrong with it.

But in which era did not have such a few stunning beauty?
Looking at it in another twenty or thirty years, most of them will end up in a miserable end, and the best ones will all disappear from the public.

The number one beauty on Hong Kong Island, known as the killer of the rich, was involved in many disturbances, and what happened in the end?

Married to a man of one or two marriages, a promiscuous playboy, looked down upon by her in-laws...

Therefore, good looks are of course a rare resource, but only in relative terms.

Zhang Qing poured so much hope into Zhou Yanyan, which surprised them both.

Of course, no matter what, the two of them valued Zhou Yanyan a few more levels.

Zhou Yanyan definitely couldn't be arranged to do some things such as accompanying wine at banquets.

Don't think that Hong Kong Island does not have this kind of work, and that Hong Kong Island is the originator of the accompanying wine business.

Among other things, Yan Ruomei, known as the daughter of Hong Kong Island, also wanted to accompany her.

Later, because of this, it caused a big disturbance.

So entertainers really just look good...

After Wang Ruolin led Zhou Yanyan and Xia Mo down, Qiao Beiyan looked at Zhang Qing with curiosity on his old face, and asked, "Qingzi, how do you judge that Johnson and the others will attack this year?"

The timing of Zhang Qing's layout is really good. It was a month earlier than Johnson and the others. Before the money tightened, he got a loan from the bank in advance, and then received the stock from the brokerage. The second-hand market was released, and all kinds of short positions were completed. No matter what.

Waiting for Johnson to lead the five major Wall Street hedge funds to charge in Thailand. Right now, countless funds are pouring into the Thai financial market, and they all want a piece of the action.

But there is not much room left for hot money in various fields...

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "No one can say that I did it on purpose. I really want to predict that until today, I will not disperse the funds to Southeast Asian countries. Wouldn't it be better to concentrate all of them in Thailand?"

Qiao Beiyan laughed and said, "You bastard, you are really smart. You really concentrated all your funds in Thailand and built short positions first. Believe it or not, Johnson took the hedge fund to blow you up first? You, wait 'no The word "greedy" is really beautiful! Generally speaking, this kind of financial turmoil is very dangerous, but if you are not greedy, you will be [-]% stable. It is a pity that you are not my boy, otherwise I will wash my hands immediately."

Zhang Qing smiled and said nothing, the old man wanted to catch him and complete Qiao's resurrection.

Qiao Beiyan's net worth is tens of billions, and the current world's prosperity, wealth, fame and fortune do not attract him much anymore.

Even if it is not a pink skull, he has already lost interest in wine, beauty and beauty.

Only Joe, who has worked hard all his life for it, is his last regret.

If Zhang Qing hadn't appeared, Qiao's would have had no choice but to die in peace, but Zhang Qing's appearance, especially the two "gambling movies" swept across Asia like a whirlwind, bringing in over [-] million box office.

This made Qiao Bei strictly optimistic about Zhang Qing...

Seeing that Zhang Qing was silent, Qiao Bei pointed at him, and said with a smile: "Little fox! I heard that you just arrived in Hong Kong Island, and the heads of those film companies are chasing you for tea? That Jiahe also invites you you?"

Jiahe Tu Zhengyang was originally Qiao Beiyan's humerus general, but because of Li Fangjie's appearance, the two finally broke up and parted ways.

After decades of fighting, the Qiao family has died. At the end of the 90s, Golden Harvest has also entered a period of decline and is no longer brilliant.

But the knot is still hard to put aside.

Zhang Qing understood and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the whole family is gone."

Qiao Beiyan said: "Aren't you afraid of offending people? They all have theaters in their hands."

Zhang Qingdao: "So the refusal is more tactful, just saying that there will be opportunities for cooperation next year, if this year's film is successful."

Qiao Beiyan laughed and said, "This kind of trick may not be useful."

Zhang Qingdao: "That's right, so I asked Wang Chang to say something to the outside world. Anyone who dares to trip up the "Once Upon a Time" trilogy will block the door to the mainland. Of course, except for a few companies that are interested in the mainland, optimistic Outside of the theaters in the mainland market, other people will not care. But it is enough, because those who care about the mainland market are visionary, far-sighted, worthy opponents."

At present, the six largest cinema lines on Hong Kong Island include Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, Xinbao, Wingo, Golden Sound and Oriental Cinema.

The only ones who care about the mainland market are Golden Harvest, Xinbao and Dongfang, which are regretful.

In fact, Golden Harvest was the earliest and the furthest in the mainland, and even won the right to build several important ticket warehouses to build theaters, but it ended up being a trick.

But as long as Golden Harvest, Xinbao, and Dongfang theaters can screen "Once Upon a Time", plus Yindu's natural leftist theaters, it is enough to support a [-] million-level blockbuster.

Behind Xinbao is Media Asia, and behind Oriental Cinemas is China Star.

Qiao Beiyan nodded, and asked again: "The Hong Kong Island Awards will open the day after tomorrow, will you go? "God of Gamblers" has been invited, maybe you can win an award."

Zhang Qing laughed and said, "Uncle Six, your joke is not funny at all. The Golden Statue Award... Heh."

Qiao Beiyan was really startled now, and said, "You don't even look down on the Golden Statue Award?"

Zhang Qing explained: "Uncle Liu, do you know why the Golden Statue Award is not as good as the Golden Horse Award?"

How could Qiao Beiyan not know, he sighed and said, "The Golden Horse Awards are open to all Chinese-language films, and the Golden Statue Awards are only for Hong Kong Island films. However, on Hong Kong Island, the Golden Horse Awards have more influence than the Golden Horse."

Zhang Qing smiled and said, "The times are about to change."

Originally, according to the course of history, at least ten to fifteen years later, filmmakers on Hong Kong Island will ride on the neck of the mainland film industry and become masters.

It's true that people are masters, especially when coal bosses are popular, they put money in sacks and bow to people, asking for cooperation.

But in fact, the probability of making money is only [-]%.

However, the arrogance raised by Hong Kong filmmakers has reached its peak, and Hollywood big names are far less arrogant than them.

The most classic routine is to set up a film project, say that the cost is [-] million, and then "use up" it in various ways, and apply for another [-] million.

give or not?
If you don't give the previous [-] million in vain, investors can only knock down their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs.

As for the first-line mainland stars serving as maidservants for Hong Kong and Taiwan newcomers, becoming a stepping stone to a higher position is even more commonplace.

Now how can Zhang Qing let such history repeat itself?

He said to Qiao Beiyan: "Joe has been the film representative of the entire Chinese-speaking world for sixty years. Just because Qiao is in Hong Kong Island, many Hong Kong talents limit Qiao's contribution to Hong Kong Island. I I don’t think it should be like this, if we do it, Joe’s will recreate the No. [-] film company in the Chinese-speaking world!”

Qiao Beiyan said inexplicably, "Qiao's number one, what about your Phoenix Pictures?"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Co-produced. What am I anxious about? I'm not yet twenty this year, so I'm sure not as long-lived as Sixth Uncle you. If you discount in half, Sixth Uncle, you can live to one hundred and eighty, and I will live to ninety?" Cooperate with Qiao's for a few years first, and after the age of [-], Phoenix will take over Qiao's, and it will still be brilliant." Of course, under the name of Qiao's, the copyright decision-making power is still in his hands.

Hearing this, Qiao Beiyan couldn't help covering his mouth with a veil to laugh, and after a while he couldn't bear it anymore, so he simply burst out laughing.

It just so happened that Li Fangjie, who was super busy today, came in at this time. Seeing Qiao Beiyan happy like this, she also smiled happily: "I said, Qingzi, why don't you just stay on Hong Kong Island! Uncle Six has never laughed like this a few times throughout the year, I'm so happy to see you."

Qiao Beiyan stopped speaking slowly, wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, then looked at Zhang Qing and said, "You want to be the leader of martial arts in Hong Kong movies, but you are worried that you are too young to cover yourself, so you just use my old bone Get up and stand up for you. However, even I can't refuse the conditions you proposed. Qingzi, Qingzi, you are only so young, how can you be so sophisticated?"

Zhang Qing didn't expect to be able to coax the old man, he has dominated the world for so many years, how could he not see through this little trick.

However, there is no harm to Mrs. Qiao, and it can also fulfill Qiao Beiyan's dream.

He laughed and said, "Uncle Six, it's a win-win situation."

What Qiao Beiyan said was absolutely correct. Zhang Qing needed Qiao's big name on top of it, and more importantly, he needed wireless's incomparably rich human and technical resources in the film and television industry.

In addition, Wang Zitong is still too young, even with Wang Ruolin's help, he really can't cover a crew full of Hong Kong people, the water is too deep.

It was very painful for her to drive the ducks to the shelves...

Zhang Qing himself also needs time, but what he lacks most right now is time.

Qiao Beiyan smiled and said: "If you can occupy five of the top ten in the box office list next year, so what if I give you an old umbrella? In this way, let your Aunt Fang give you Huaxing Records first. Polygram , Universal has been attacking the Hong Kong Island record market, I leave it to you, I see if you can win against them."

Zhang Qing is so generous that he is willing to spend his energy to help Qiao's rebirth. Naturally, he can't be stingy.

Li Fangjie doesn't care, Huaxing has been losing money in her hands, basically marginalized, and the distribution channel is worth a little money.

I made some money last year, and it was brought by helping Zhang Qing release "Women's Flower".

For ordinary people, this may be a huge fortune, but for Li Fangjie, maintaining the relationship with Zhang Qing is more important.

After all, "Shooting the Condors" has already made TVB's stock price rise steadily, and the value it brings is a hundred times that of China Star.

She smiled and said, "No problem, Qingzai is a musical genius, and the sword is given to the hero!"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Thank you, Aunt Fang. Tsk, if that's the case, Sister Zhao should come here again... She won't be able to leave for a while. Aunt Fang, pass Manager Zhong to me too. Although she is not capable enough , but it is better than diligence."

He didn't even say such a thing after "Once Upon a Time" was successful.

Li Fangjie laughed loudly and said, "Sixth brother, look at him, he just finished scheming against you, and then scheming against me. We should be careful, or this little fox will eat him up sooner or later!"

Qiao Beiyan looked at Zhang Qing, seeing his clean and friendly smile, the smile on his face couldn't help deepening.
