Island Tycoon

Chapter 39 The Unexpected Incident
"Brother Ying, don't just say no without even thinking about it, right? In fact, you don't mind if I say something that ruins your relationship with your elder brother. Although you both grew up and went to the same school. But the other six of Seven Little Fortunes are also the same Hong Jinbao grew up together, and they are the real brothers in the definition, and they will definitely adopt more information from their own people in terms of opinions."

No matter how loyal Hong Jinbao preached, it is impossible to achieve a bowl of water.Ye Jingcheng deliberately emphasized the word "one of his own people". Seeing that Lin Zhengying was only drinking with his head down, he knew that these words had some effect.

It's not that Lin Zhengying can't be reused in the Hong family class, but he joined the Hong family class one step later than the others, so it takes at least a few years to become the backbone of the team. Ye Jingcheng is quite alienated at this time.

"Ye Sheng, why don't we go first and let Ah Ying think about it?"

Seeing Lin Zhengying drink after drink, Taibao began to worry.

The last time Lin Zhengying got drunk, he got punched quite a lot, and this time he revealed Lin Zhengying's details to Ye Jingcheng, probably to beat him up as an enemy.

"Brother Ying may not know about my company. Although Qingdeng Entertainment has just completed its registration recently, it has already had a successful film called "Human Meat Roasting Shop". The local box office reached 380 million. The current film It has already landed in island countries and Singapore."

After pondering for a while, Lin Zhengying said: "I have seen this movie, it is not bad."

"I wrote the script of this play." Seeing Lin Zhengying's suspicious eyes, Ye Jingcheng could only show some sincerity and promised, "Brother Ying, as long as you agree to join, I can personally write the script for you. Even let you direct."

Lin Zhengying's loyalty is true, but as long as the interests of his brothers are not involved, who doesn't want to have a good development platform?After hearing what Ye Jingcheng said, Lin Zhengying's drinking frequency increased a lot, and it took him a long time to hold back the words: "You let me think about it."

"I know that what I'm giving you now is only a verbal promise, and Yingge, you think about the long-term, and you may think that whether my company can continue is a problem. Since this is the case, why don't we take a gamble?"

Ye Jingcheng knew that he would not be able to convince Lin Zhengying for a while, so he could only retreat and let the other party place a bet on him.

"How to gamble?" Lin Zhengying is not good at rejecting people thousands of miles away.

"The company has already started filming the second movie, we will use the box office of this movie to complete the bet, how about it?"

In the end, Ye Jingcheng finally persuaded Lin Zhengying with his eloquent offensive to trick the girl into opening a room.As long as "Wrong Yin and Yang" can win the annual box office champion, Lin Zhengying will agree to join Blue Lantern Entertainment.

Ye Jingcheng didn't talk too much. According to his prediction, the box office of "Yin Yang Wrong" can exceed 600 million, and the annual box office champion only needs [-] million to be on the top.

The reason for saying this is that 1979 was the lowest year for movie box office in recent years.Compared with the box office of seven to eight million in the previous few years, the box office of tens of millions in the next few years.

The highest box office record this year is "Laughing Fist Strange Tricks" starring Cheng Long, which reached a box office of 540 million.In the same year, "Inside the Wall and Outside the Wall" ranked second, but it won a box office of 470 million, and the third and fourth only barely exceeded 400 million.

Leaving aside the investment cost, let’s just talk about the box office appeal. "Laughing Boxing Strange Trick" has Kung Fu superstar Cheng Long, and "Inside the Wall and Outside the Wall" has Hu Yinmeng, a famous beauty who is active in the art and literature circles.

Although Ye Jingcheng invited two Hong Kong girls, Zhong Chuhong and Zheng Wenya, there are so many Hong Kong girls every year, it is enough that they can play a familiar role, let alone box office appeal.

It is for this reason that Lin Zhengying agreed to this gamble.Ye Jingcheng's desire to win the box office champion of the year is, in his opinion, a pipe dream.

Although he already has a successful production, Lin Zhengying is still not optimistic about the prospects of Qinglan Entertainment.The only problem was that Ye Jingcheng's self-confidence came from somewhere, which vaguely made him feel whether he had fallen into a trap.

Lin Zhengying accepted the gamble, and Ye Jingcheng didn't intend to disturb him any more.It's just that when he was about to leave, Lin Zhengying forced the Taibao to stay on the side. Seeing that Lin Zhengying was a little drunk, Ye Jingcheng knew that it would be bad luck if he kept too much.

Sure enough, not long after Ye Jingcheng walked out, there were crackling sounds from the house, as if the house was being demolished, and... the screams of the Taibao.

"Aying, listen to my explanation, I'm also doing it for your own good. Ah—"

Ye Jingcheng made a gesture of Jesus' blessing, and prayed: "The Taibao, I can only wrong you this time. After the team is formed, you will definitely have a part in the credit."

……

Jingle bell...jingle bell...

The constant ringing of the phone from the living room forced Ye Jingcheng, who had fallen asleep, to get out of the warm bed.

"Hello!" With procrastinating steps, Ye Jingcheng came to the living room and picked up the phone that kept ringing.

"Ah Cheng, are you still asleep?" Huang Jing's voice came from the other end of the phone.

What Ye Jingcheng should care about is the other party's tone, which is not as serious as usual.So he said, "It wakes you up even when you're asleep. Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I just came back from the set. I asked the driver to stop downstairs. Come and sit at my house later?"

"it is good."

Ye Jingcheng looked at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock at night.He knew there must be something wrong, otherwise who would have invited someone to sit at home in the middle of the night.

Ten minutes later, the van borrowed from Shaw Brothers appeared downstairs. Ye Jingcheng got in the van and went to Huang's house together with Huang Jing.

In the car, Ye Jingcheng finally knew the cause of the incident, which had something to do with him not seeing Huang Tianlin on the set of "Shanghai Bund".

It turned out that Shao Yifu's third brother, Shao Renmei, was seriously ill and was admitted to the hospital. After hearing the news, Shao Yifu was overwhelmed with embarrassment and inadvertently revealed that he wanted to decentralize power. Fang Yihua, as the bedside person, was naturally the first to get the news.

Ye Jingcheng's knowledge of Shao Renmei was limited to his brotherly relationship with Shao Yifu, and the spokesperson of Nanyang Shao Films.Logically speaking, Shao Renmei should not have died so early, because his death would definitely have a huge impact on Shaw Films.

The most likely theory is that Shao Renmei was seriously ill and admitted to the hospital, and then hanged himself for several years before passing away.

That time should be before and after Shao Yifu let go of Shaw Brothers Films, because neither of their children is interested in this business.And once the Nanyang market is closed, Shaw Yifu will be powerless to maintain Shaw Brothers Films.

It's just that he didn't expect Fang Yihua to be so blatant. The day after Shao Yifu spoke up, she would dare to attack Huang Tianlin, the hero of the founding of the country.

Originally he was the producer and director of "Shanghai Bund", but now Fang Yihua took away the position of producer with a single word, and handed it over to the new director Zhao Zhenqiang.

Zhao Zhenqiang was obviously picked up by Fang Yihua. With Huang Tianlin's current status, he would not be happy to be pointed at face to face by a young man without qualifications. Did not go to the set.

Ye Jingcheng fell silent at this moment. How Huang Tianlin was treated had nothing to do with him.If Fang Yihua wants to rise to power, he must suppress those founding heroes.

What Ye Jingcheng was worried about was whether the father-son relationship between Huang Tianlin and Huang Jing would be the reason for Fang Yihua to reach out too far.As for Huang Tianlin, Fang Yihua could only suppress him at most, and couldn't really mobilize him too much.

Just like Huang Tianlin avoiding her now, is it not a way to deal with it.So in this situation, will Fang Yihua have nothing to do with the old one and come to find the little one uncomfortable?

Huang Jing and Ye Jingcheng hurried back to Huang's house, Huang Tianlin was already waiting in the living room, Huang Jing asked eagerly, "Old Dou, what happened."

"Oh, it's hard to describe in one word." Huang Tianlin's tone was full of melancholy.

"Fang Yihua can't figure out Uncle Tianlin, so he wants to attack me and Ah Jing?" Ye Jingcheng guessed.

Hearing this, Huang Jing also reacted, and scolded unhappily: "I don't understand, it's obvious that one family is cheaper than the other, why Aunt Six still makes trouble. For the box office of 1000 million, Shaw will divide at least 500 million. not enough?"

"1000 million? You say yes? You need someone to give you a chance." Ye Jingcheng sneered.

"It's still Chengzi who sees clearly." After a while, Huang Tianlin sighed three times.

What Ye Jingcheng is most worried about is that there is a problem with the release of the film. Although Fang Yihua dare not blatantly interfere with the schedule, as long as he finds an excuse to delay it for a few days, the schedule of "Yin Yang Wrong" will be delayed for at least a year or a half, or as long as unlimited period delay.

"Old Dou, you didn't respond to Uncle Six about this?" Huang Jing was really unwilling.

The filming of "Wrong Yin and Yang" has been nearly half completed. How much effort and sweat he has put into these days.Three meals are uncertain, and often stay up late due to the sun and rain.Now because of meaningless intrigue, he is going to veto everything he has done before?
"Brother Six...has already flown to Singapore."

After receiving Huang Tianlin's answer, the scene fell into complete silence, and the atmosphere seemed extraordinarily dignified.

"I'll figure it out."

Fang Yihua played this move beautifully, all he needs to remember is: drag.Whether Shaw Brothers or TVB is behind her, they are all big business owners, and it is a trivial matter to delay it for three or five years.

On the other hand, Ye Jingcheng and Huang Jing, the two of them invested almost all their property, so it is absolutely impossible to fight against time.There is only one end, obediently admit your mistake to Fang Yihua.

And on the surface, Shao Yifu didn't know about it, and things might turn around.Who knows if Shao Yifu acquiesced in this matter, or if he gave Fang Yihua a chance to act independently.

Because of this problem, Ye Jingcheng left the venue early, and went home alone to meditate.

To solve this problem, we must start from the source.The best way is for Ye Jingcheng to stand on his own. In terms of ability, he is confident that he has it, but in terms of funds and popularity, he can only make a second choice and choose an unrestricted theater chain.
