"Paralyzed!"

Facing Ye Jingcheng's question, Chen Baisheng couldn't help but swear in his heart.This person is too arrogant, right? He is like a movie supporting Hong Kong Island by himself?
However, Ye Jingcheng's seemingly arrogant words, if people in the industry really had to evaluate them, they would at most just make people feel uncomfortable.At least his contribution to the film industry is obvious to all.

The creators of several film milestones alone have made most film workers can only hold a candle to them in this life.

What's more, the rapid development of Hong Kong films in the past few years is related to his continuous breaking of the film's box office records.It has a motivating effect on people in the industry, and it also attracts people outside the circle.

To sum up, rather than saying that Hong Kong films are developing gradually, it is better to say that it is because of his correct guidance, including several other major film companies that are vaguely centered on him.

Chen Bosheng held his breath and asked, "Ye Sheng, can't you support Hong Kong movies unconditionally?"

"It's a joke." Ye Jingcheng said lightly, "Could it be that you really don't get anything in return if you create a gold statue award?"

In fact, Chen Bosheng proposed to establish this award. As the founder, he will not only be rewarded, but also get a lot of benefits.

First of all, "Film Biweekly", which is the titleholder of the Academy Award, will definitely have a rapid improvement in its own business.Secondly, the reputation created by the award will make him from a semi-outsider to an influential person in the circle.

On the surface, Chen Bosheng did not care about the gains and losses in order to establish this award.In fact, he didn't spend too much, as if financial and material resources were sponsored by La, and what he gave was nothing more than his own energy.

The specific value of energy depends on who pays for it.If the object is switched to Ye Jingcheng, let him spend energy to do one thing, then this thing will undoubtedly be of great value.

And switching to Chen Bosheng is nothing more than running a dying magazine.There are not many people in his situation, but there are still ten or eight if you want to find them.Then how can he use his own energy to talk about how much he has paid?
At this moment, Chen Baisheng understood Ye Jingcheng's various meanings.As the saying goes, "Don't do to others what you don't want done to you." He didn't even set an example, and asked Ye Jingcheng to give unconditionally?
If it is called selfless devotion just to devote energy, then Ye Jingcheng can also spare time. The question is, is Chen Baisheng willing to let him join?Doesn't this already show his selfishness out of human nature?

"Young Master Ye, let me explain what A Sheng means. He doesn't mean that you can't join the association, but that you, as the owner of Qingdeng Entertainment, can join the association in other ways besides that." Seeing the situation No, Chen Deliang said nice things.

After all, Chen Bosheng is not a businessman, his personality is not smooth enough and he is eager to express himself, and he will not take the initiative to consider everything from the opposite side.Just like the gold-rimmed glasses on his face, it sets off his flamboyant background, and he is a proper nerd in the old days.

Afterwards, Chen Deliang signaled Chen Bosheng to continue, and the latter was in a daze before he realized it.

"Ye Sheng, in fact, our teams who founded the awards have a specific definition for the composition of the association. The members include people from different walks of life in the film industry. For example, representatives of directors, representatives of photographers, and artists Delegate wait."

"Then form their respective associations. For example, artists, we will first apply to the Hong Kong government for a performing artist association. Or for directors, we will also apply for a film directors association."

"These associations will coordinate people from all walks of life, and the members of the board of directors of the Academy Awards are representatives of these associations. Our plan is to initially set 12 to 15 representatives." Chen Baisheng finished the relevant plan in one breath.

It's just that Ye Jingcheng, who was sitting opposite him, didn't have much reaction even if he let his words fly from mouth to mouth.Chen Bosheng thought that Ye Jingcheng was in the digesting stage, so he began to explain further.

"At present, there are still many associations on our board of directors that have not been implemented. Based on your understanding of movies, Ye Sheng, whether it is to form the Artists Association, Film Directors Association, Screenwriters Association, or Production Executives Association, as an association representative There will be no objection."

In the end, Chen Bosheng paid another flatterer who thought he was flattering, and said: "With Ye Sheng's talent alone, I don't think the whole Hong Kong Island can find a second one.

This is indeed the case. Ye Jingcheng has written screenwriters, starred in artists, acted as a director, and concurrently served as a producer since he first came into contact with movies. He even dabbled in special effects.

In the end, every movie produced by Green Lantern Entertainment now definitely has his name in the producer column.Under so many auras, even Chen Xunqi, who is recognized as an all-round genius in the film industry, can only behave well with his tail between his legs.

"I'm not interested in being a representative of the association, and I don't have to interfere with the awards, but the board of directors..." Ye Jingcheng snapped his fingers.

His meaning is already obvious. If he doesn't want to say that the board of directors is dominated by him, he must be the chairman of the board of directors.

"Ye Sheng, it's very unruly for you to do this." Chen Baisheng was also in a hurry, he didn't expect that after talking for so long, he still couldn't understand the other party.

"The rules are just set by you, if this is the case, then modify it 'appropriately'."

Isn't it?The so-called rules in Chen Baisheng's mouth, didn't the founding team including him get together to discuss (zhe) amount (teng)?

"Ye Sheng, in fact, you are not the only sponsor we can get. We had a good negotiation with Radio Television Hong Kong earlier, but considering your influence in the film industry, Ye Sheng, if you agree, there will be more sponsorship." Good for award promotion.”

The two parties have been entangled until now, and there is already a rhythm of collapse.But Chen Bosheng couldn't afford, or couldn't part with other bargaining chips, so he made the final negotiation with Ye Jingcheng.This time he simply moved out of RTHK, because the two did have a preliminary willingness to cooperate.

It's just that with the development of TVB and other cable television, the once most credible Hong Kong radio station may not have as much influence as a newspaper and magazine, let alone reach out to another field of film circles.

To this point, Ye Jingcheng just answered like this: "It's good that you know."

If it wasn't for his influence in the film industry, Chen Bosheng would have applied for an appointment half a month earlier?Are you still sitting here with him and talking nonsense?Even if you are smart, don't take others for fools.

Chen Bosheng initiated and has established the Academy Awards, which can be said to be the only bargaining chip in his hand.Then the influence on the movie industry is Ye Jingcheng's bargaining chip.

Are the two equivalent?It is obvious that the former is not as important as the latter. He, Chen Baisheng, can create an award. Could it be that Ye Jingcheng can't?And Ye Jingcheng, as the leader of the film circle, could affect the entire film circle even if he stomped his feet.

It means that what Chen Bosheng possesses, or what he can do, Ye Jingcheng also possesses or can do.And what Ye Jingcheng possessed, Chen Baisheng simply didn't have the ability to realize it.

So for this topic, is it too much for Ye Jingcheng to add another condition?It is not too much to say too much, but to ask for the chairmanship of an association's board of directors is at best to share the influence of other association shareholders.

Moreover, he does not intervene in the affairs of the award, in other words, the board of directors is still controlled by that group of people.It was nothing more than asking them to cooperate a little when Ye Jingcheng needed it.

But Chen Baisheng, who didn't understand this point, couldn't help turning ugly when he learned that Ye Jingcheng was so ambitious and wanted to decentralize power.

He has his own ideas, the award ceremony does not necessarily have to be sponsored by Ye Jingcheng, even if it is a cooperation with the less influential Radio Television Hong Kong, even if the venue is only a small theater, at least the existence of the Golden Statue Award has become inevitable thing.

He believes that it will only take three to five years at most. After the credibility of the Academy Awards spreads, even if the annual awards ceremony does not seek sponsorship, the income from TV and radio broadcast copyright fees and overseas distribution will definitely be enough to maintain daily life. basic expenses.

Ye Jingcheng's request to become the chairman of the board of directors was completely overreaching from his point of view.

"I can't make the decision alone." Chen Baisheng found a reason to prevaricate.

He is not the only one who decides the Golden Statue Awards, but as long as it is something he decides, other people basically vote for it.There is no other reason, just because he is the initiator of this award and has a deeper understanding of the award than others, so everyone naturally follows him.

Ye Jingcheng didn't waste time with the other party, as long as he wanted to have a way to get involved in this award.The big deal is to launch another film award in his own name, Chen Bosheng simply doesn't have the ability to fight him.

"Li Zhi, send the two of you out." Ye Jingcheng ordered to chase away the guests.

Chen Baisheng just said "goodbye", as for Chen Deliang who followed, he made an apologetic smile before leaving.Apparently he didn't expect the talks to collapse on this matter, and now he can't bear the face of both sides.

There was nothing wrong with Chen Bosheng. After all, the other party came to him on his own initiative, and he owed him a favor instead.On the contrary, it was Ye Jingcheng's side. To put it mildly, Chen Deliang had business contacts with Ye Jingcheng no matter what.

If we talk about it, it is that Chen Deliang still needs Ye Jingcheng's care in business.Now that Chen Bosheng is so ignorant, I don't know if Ye Jingcheng will blame him along with him.

After all, from the perspective of a businessman, Chen Deliang did not gain any real benefits from being the chairman of the association's board of directors.Since Ye Jingcheng asked for it, if it was him, he would just give it.

Moreover, Ye Jingcheng stated that he would not interfere with matters related to the award, which meant that the right to speak about the award was still in the hands of the founding team.As for whether Ye Jingcheng will talk back and forth...

If it were someone else, they might really do this, first coaxing them to hand over the power of the board of directors and then monopolizing it, but Chen Baisheng didn't want anyone like Ye Jingcheng. At Ye Jingcheng's level, reputation is far more important than benefits.

What's more, how much money can an Academy Award make?Ye Jingcheng is nothing more than looking at the influence of each, which can help the future development of Qingdeng Entertainment.

If there is no such major premise, let alone the chairman of the board of directors, even if Chen Baisheng sends the entire award to the door, Ye Jingcheng may not have time to talk to him.

What's more, there are two advantages to agreeing to this matter. On the one hand, you can get a favor from Ye Jingcheng, and on the other hand, you can make one or two requests.

It seems that the "Movie Biweekly" under the name of Chen Bosheng was blocked by the industry some time ago, and the current operating status is already half dead.Chen Bosheng could use this matter as an exchange condition to let Ye Jingcheng solve this dilemma.

Even if this matter has nothing to do with Ye Jingcheng, Chen Baisheng can ask for a sponsorship, at least to help the magazine tide over the difficulties.

"I don't know how to cherish such a good opportunity." When he left, Chen Deliang shook his head and sighed all the way. Sure enough, nerds are dead-headed.

After Chen Bosheng and Chen Deliang left, Ye Jingcheng put this matter behind him.

For Chen Bosheng, holding the Golden Statue Awards Ceremony may be the top priority in front of him, but for him, it cannot be said that he has no intention of getting involved, but there is no need to focus on this matter so much.

More recently, in the early days of the Academy Awards, the film's lack of credibility played a very limited role.

In the long run, the appearance of the Academy Awards as scheduled means that Hong Kong Island films are about to enter a glorious period.But Hong Kong films can go through the first glorious decade, will it have a second glorious decade?
Others may not be able to guess, but Ye Jingcheng knows that since the 90s, Hong Kong movies have been gradually dying.

So even if Chen Bosheng agrees to his request, he will be the chairman of the board of directors for a few years at most, and he will not continue to do so even if he is begged.

……

Putting this matter behind him, Ye Jingcheng continued to review the document in his hand, which was a plan for land development.

Ye Jingcheng has won three pieces of land from the Hong Kong government earlier, including the 488-hectare land in Tin Shui Wai, Yuen Long, the [-]-square-foot Murray Road car park in the Central District, and the industrial estate in Tseung Kwan O.

At present, only the seaside resort in Tin Shui Wai, Yuen Long is officially under construction. The other two sites are still in the stage of planning by the team. The development plan for the cinema in Tseung Kwan O is still relatively easy to implement, and the large area of ​​land there is enough for designers to use freely.

But the Murray Road car park is quite special, because it is a cramped piece of land surrounded by elevated roads.If you want to meet the demand for floor area, but also "get ahead" in the high-rise Central Ring, the only way is to develop high-altitude.

However, the development of high altitude does not mean that the architectural designer can draw a picture casually and hand it over to the engineering team for execution.

First, the building must be tall enough to highlight its geographical advantages.

Second, the high floor and the strong wind during the local typhoon season required an unusual solution for the structural system of the building.

Based on this problem, the planning team still has not implemented a feasible plan, and has not been able to find a suitable architectural designer.
