Movie tycoon

Chapter 317 Another Movie Tycoon (Part [-])
By the way, Chen Xiaotang finally recognized the young lady, who turned out to be the rich lady who once raced with Zhang Manyu in Hong Kong.

"No way, is it really you? Why did you come to Spain?" Chen Xiaotang was a little surprised.

"Hehe, what you said is that Spain is not your home. If you can come, why can't I come?! How can we say that we are old friends too, and you will never die, right?!" The sturdy young lady said Then, he continued, "I see that you are very skilled. You can beat all these people to me, and then take me away. At worst, I will cover you when I return to Hong Kong~Hong Kong!"

"You cover me? But, are you really so confident in me?" Chen Xiaotang glanced at the people in Xinyi'an who were already staring at him.

"Hee hee, the last time you beat the crap out of those hooligans, I told Maggie that I was going to chase you! Now I'll give you a chance to be a hero to save the beauty!" The sturdy young lady seemed very relieved of Chen Xiaotang , said with a smile.

Chen Xiaotang smiled wryly, "Miss, I only have a pair of fists, I'm not a hero!"

Chen Xiaotang can be sure that this silly girl in front of her absolutely doesn't know what kind of star she is, otherwise she wouldn't be begging herself like a mother-in-law.

"But this matter seems to be difficult. These heroes are not easy to mess with. What should I do when I return to Hong Kong?" Chen Xiaotang looked at those burly men shaking their chest muscles rather playfully.

"I said, I will cover you!"

"Empty words have no proof, why should I believe you?" Chen Xiaotang said.

"Just because I am Qiao Jingyao's daughter, Qiao Anqi!"

As the sturdy young lady spoke, she blinked her clear eyes and looked at Chen Xiaotang!

"... Qiao Jingyao's daughter, Qiao Anqi?!"

Chen Xiaotang was thinking about this sentence, his face slightly stunned, you know, there are quite a few rich and tycoons in Hong Kong, such as the well-known Huo family, He family, and Dong family, etc., these are all famous , There is also a lot of exposure in entertainment magazines.But he really hadn't heard much about Qiao Jingyao—he had heard of Feng Jingyao, the villain in "Shanghai Bund"! ! !

But after Chen Xiaotang chewed the name carefully, suddenly, he thought to himself, could it be him?The mastermind behind Cathay Cinemas?The helm of the Qiao Group? !

In fact, it was no wonder that Chen Xiaotang thought for a long time before he remembered who Qiao Jingyao was.In a place like Hong Kong, there are many super rich people, and even more invisible rich people who don't like to show their faces.You will only recognize a character like this when you have reached a certain level of identity.On weekdays, those gossip reporters have nothing to do with these rich people, and some are even the behind-the-scenes bosses of these media magazines. Before you can break the news about them, they have already fired you.

For example, the behind-the-scenes bosses of "Oriental Daily" are the Ma brothers who used to be as famous as the "Four Inspectors". It is most taboo for people to break the news about their family, so relying on the media of "Oriental Daily" to curb many news that is not good for you, so that you can hardly see news about this family.

The same is true for Qiao Jingyao, but compared to the Ma family, his background is much more innocent.This person was born in poverty, but he was quite ambitious. When he was working for a construction company, he found that the real estate business was easy to do at that time, so he borrowed 3 yuan to start the tile business, and sold the tiles door-to-door. He worked hard, endured hardships and stood hard work, but he managed to make a small fortune out of it.But what really made Qiao Jingyao among the super rich in Hong Kong was that he married the daughter of movie tycoon Lu Yuntao.

Speaking of movie tycoon Lu Yuntao, I am afraid that no one in Hong Kong in the 60s knows it.In particular, the story of him and Shao Daheng fighting for hegemony in Xiangjiang is even more popular.

The competition between "Shaw Brothers" and "Lu's Film & TV" in the 60s, on the surface, is a commercial competition between the two major Mandarin film companies in Hong Kong, but in fact it is actually the "big two" masters Shao Yifu and Lu Yuntao The continuation of the battle of wits.

Because since the 40s, Shao Yifu and Lu Yuntao have started the first round of theater competition in Singapore, Malaysia and other places.The two have different backgrounds, personalities, academic backgrounds and experiences, but they have successively managed a huge film business, and each has formed a unique business style.Behind the business confrontation is the contest between the two's personalities and business management concepts.

Shao Yifu was born in a traditional Chinese business family. He received a traditional education based on Confucian ethics since he was a child, and he has been soaked in traditional Chinese concepts.He has inherited the traditional business philosophy of the Shaw family, such as pragmatism, flexibility, frugality, prudence, and diligence. In his business operations, he has always maintained the characteristics of business, not high-profile, and pursues the ultimate goal of maximizing profits.

Lu Yuntao has a completely different personal history from Shao Yifu. He was born in a family of wealthy businessmen in Nanyang, and was educated in Switzerland and the United Kingdom when he was in middle school.Lu Yuntao has always been obsessed with literature, history, film and photography. Although he knew he was destined for a grassroots family business, he still studied history and literature that he really loved at Cambridge University and obtained a master's degree.He does not understand Mandarin, and usually communicates with people in English, and is less infiltrated by traditional Chinese culture.He also has the habits of a British gentleman like bird watching and playing golf, all of which have created his "westernized" characteristics.

Therefore, Lu Yuntao did not simply repeat the business path of his father's generation, but chose the film industry, a unique and innovative modern entertainment industry, on the basis of the family business.And successively established International Cinema Co., Ltd., Lu's Cinema Co., Ltd., and Cathay Cinema Co., Ltd., thus forming a Cathay Pacific organization mainly in the film distribution industry, and embarked on the road of competing with Shao Yifu for hegemony.

Lu Yuntao's many "foreignized" backgrounds and modern life dreams determine that his business philosophy will be completely different from the traditional Shaw Brothers business philosophy, but more modern and fashionable.In response to the Shaw Brothers' land-grabbing cinema expansion strategy, while competing with Shaw Yifu for screening resources, he focused on modernization strategies such as improving cinema hardware and software facilities and improving viewing quality.In this way, it suppressed the development of Shaw Brothers in the Hong Kong film circle, and became the dragon with the most potential among the two giants.

Unfortunately, just when this giant dragon was about to take off, during the sightseeing trip to Taiwan to participate in the 11th Asian Film Festival, the plane on which Lu Yuntao, his wife, and many senior executives from Cathay Pacific agencies were traveling exploded, killing all 57 people on board.This sudden turn of events dealt a heavy blow to the flourishing Cathay Pacific Films, and has never recovered since.

Lu Yuntao's accident caused the "Shaw Brothers" to lose their strongest competitor.It also indirectly created Shao Daheng, the all-powerful film emperor, and made him dominate the world in Xiangjiang and even Asian Chinese film circles in the 70s and [-]s! ! !

Then again, as the son-in-law of the film tycoon Lu Yuntao, Qiao Jingyao ascended to the sky in one step. He not only inherited the Lu family's original business, owned a lot of wealth in Malaysia and Singapore, but also owned most of the movie theaters of the original Cathay Pacific Films.

And these theaters are simply a great temptation for many people who want to break new ground in the Hong Kong film industry.Among them is the Xin Yi An Xiang family who want to establish Yongsheng Film Company, bleach club business, and wantonly siphon money in the entertainment industry.

The Xiang family started out as an association in Xinyi'an, and they have done a lot of men and women's prostitution. Today, the industries run by the Xiang family cover real estate, finance, catering and entertainment industries.However, in Xiang's family's opinion, no matter how hard their family tries, they will never be able to change from black to white, and from hooligans to gentlemen like the Ma family in Hong Kong.

Therefore, the Xiang family was eager to start with the film industry. On the one hand, they could make a lot of money and launder money by making movies, and on the other hand, they could also beautify their family's glory by making movies.After all, Hong Kong people are the group of people who are most likely to be "entertained". As long as they are "served" well, the status of the Xiang family in society will also increase.

However, it is not a trivial matter to form a film company to dominate the Hong Kong film industry. Not to mention the three giants of Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and New Arts City, there is no chance for you to form a big company. You can't control the cinema chain.

What is a cinema chain?The movie theater line includes the distribution and sales of movies, which can be said to be the key to whether a movie can make a profit in the end! !To put it bluntly, movie theaters are the lifeblood of a movie company! ! !You don't have an independent theater chain to support you, no matter how big the lineup you make, you're just working for others! ! !

As a gangster who dominates Hong Kong and Hong Kong, Xiang Jia will never make small troubles. Since he wants to enter the film industry, he should directly make a big deal and control the largest movie theater chain!After much deliberation, the Xiang family thought of the once glorious, but now lonely Cathay Cinemas——
As the most powerful person in the younger generation of the Xiang family, Xiang Huasheng is good at planning and planning, and has a deep mind. Compared with his tenth brother Xiang Huaqiang, he is even more ambitious in entering the entertainment industry.

It's a pity that the Brothers Xiang's plan was very good. They wanted to buy the Cathay Pacific Cinemas in Qiao's hands, and they paid a lot of money for it. , not to mention that Cathay Pacific is a special property left by the Lu family, which has huge commemorative significance and will not be sold at all.This made the Xiang brothers very depressed.

Since the right way doesn't work, then use another way.

This time when he heard that Qiao Jingyao's little girl had come to Spain to travel and play, Xiang Hua Sheng wanted to take the opportunity to kidnap her, forcing Qiao Jingyao to obey and sell Cathay Pacific Cinemas to him.

Besides, Chen Xiaotang at the moment, he never imagined that the beautiful woman in front of him who was full of rebellious colors from beginning to end would be the daughter of Hong Kong tycoon Qiao Jingyao, which really caught him by surprise.

If it weren't for Chen Xiaotang's reputation in the entertainment industry, he wouldn't have heard of Cathay Pacific's affairs, and of course he wouldn't have known that there was someone like Qiao Jingyao.

Since Qiao Jingyao's daughters are besieged here, these people probably won't give up easily... Chen Xiaotang's eyes flickered, thinking to himself.

Until now, Chen Xiaotang realized that he could no longer stay out of the matter. After this sturdy young lady named Qiao Anqi spoke like this, the people on Xiang Huasheng's side would definitely not let him leave.

This can be seen from Xiang Hua Sheng's cold and murderous gaze.

"I lost his old mother, so why did this happen? It seems that it's really unlucky in the past, and I'm guilty of peach blossom robbery! When I come to Spain to shoot a movie, I can always encounter such a thing, I have to force it Save yourself as a hero!"

Chen Xiaotang sighed in his heart, thinking to himself that Qiao Anqi's eyes were too good, she could still recognize her when she walked by herself in the middle of the night, her eyes were almost comparable to Spider-Man's!However, when I came to Spain, I could still meet such "acquaintances".

Since they are acquaintances, there is no reason to stand idly by. To be a man, we must be decisive, and when we are hit, we will hit. This is also a principle of Chen Xiaotang's life!
Therefore, even though Xiang Huasheng and the others led these eight or nine burly men with extraordinary skills to surround Qiao Anqi, Chen Xiaotang still made up his mind to rescue her—even if he didn't want to, there was nothing he could do. She has already set her sights on him, and she will never let him leave unharmed!

"Qiao Anqi, you are really naive. Do you think you can save you by calling this guy over? It's really ridiculous." Xiang Huasheng sneered, and looked at Qiao Anqi, the last gloomy gaze It was fixed on Chen Xiaotang's body, his eyes were full of hidden cold murderous intent!
The eight or nine burly men beside Xiang Huasheng let out bursts of knowing sneers, and looked at Chen Xiaotang coldly, as if they were looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

At this time, the big man who was approaching Qiao Anqi before joined forces with two companions to outflank Qiao Anqi. In fact, with their strength, one person is enough to deal with Qiao Anqi.But they were afraid of Qiao Anqi's identity, if they came directly and directly, in case Qiao Anqi was hurt in the slightest, then let alone Qiao Jingyao, Qiao Anqi's old man, even Xiang Huasheng, the leader of Xinyi'an, would not let them go.

Therefore, these burly men joined forces to control Qiao Anqi first.

Facing the approaching three burly men, Qiao Anqi retreated step by step, towards where Chen Xiaotang was standing.Her exaggerated smoky makeup looked at Chen Xiaotang with watery eyes, and she couldn't help saying: "Hey, why are you standing there stupidly? Do you think Xiang Huasheng, a sinister and cunning villain, will let us go?"

We... Chen Xiaotang was speechless for a while again, Qiao Anqi's "we" once again tied Chen Xiaotang and her tightly together, like grasshoppers on a rope.
