Family Centennial, Rising from Hong Kong Island

However, theaters are theaters after all, and they cannot personally participate in the investment, so Chen Bo felt pretty good after reading Mecca's script, so he brought him to see Su Shaoze.

Su Shaoze picked up the script, and when he saw the title, something instantly came to his mind. "Funny Times?" Turns out it was this one!

In the original time and space, this movie was the groundbreaking work after the establishment of Xinyicheng, with a cost of one million and a box office of six million.

It's neither high nor low, Xinyicheng earns money.

In terms of style, it imitates Chaplin, and the picture is more inclined to silent films.

It is produced by Mecca, starring Shi Tian, ​​and directed by Wu Yusen.

But now Wu Yusen has become the contracted director of Su's Film Industry, and he is filming all over the world!

Naturally, it is impossible to film this funny era with a small cost.

So, Su Shaoze saw Mecca's name written on the director's column, and the bald man left the stage himself.

"How much money do you still need?" Su Shaoze roughly read the script, then put it down, raised his head and looked at Mecca.

He was already ready to invest in his heart, although Su Shaoze didn't like the box office of [-] million, but he was looking at the three people from Mecca.

The reason why Xinyicheng rose in the [-]s is because they brought together many talents.

Although there are many movie projects in Su Shaoze's mind, it is impossible for him to focus on movies all the time.

He needs the studios to function well on their own.

Therefore, talent is very important!

Hearing Su Shaoze's tone of preparing to invest, Mecca was overjoyed: "It doesn't need much, only [-] is enough!"

Funny Times needs an investment of one million, and the three of them have made up half a million, and the remaining half a million can only be done if they sell their house.

0....... Ask for flowers.

But not everyone has the guts to make a movie.

If you lose, you will go bankrupt!

Five hundred thousand is a lot to the three of them, but to Su Shaoze, it is not worth mentioning, but what he wants is not just the five hundred thousand in return. "[-] is no problem, I can invest in you, but I am more optimistic about you, Mecca." "You are a talent, and the struggle company is too small, you need a bigger platform to display your talent."

"Think about it, you can come to Su Films, and I will give you enough opportunities. It's no fun to make small troubles. If you want to play, you can play big."

"In the future, you can also become the next To Qifeng, the next Zhou Runfa, Wu Mengda.". 0 Su Shaoze said in a faint voice, and Mecca's face was stunned and astonished.

He came here to find investment, but Su Shaoze didn't expect Su Shaoze to dig himself out!

Go to Su's Film Industry and become the next To Qifeng and Zhou Runfa?

Mecca was moved. Life is nothing more than fame and fortune.

Making a lot of money and becoming famous is what everyone desires, and Su's Films can indeed satisfy these.

Mecca, however, wanted more.

His character is more proud, not a person who lives under others for a long time.

Otherwise, he would not have left the original company and founded the Struggle Company with Shi Tian and Huang Baiming.

If he joined Su's Film Industry, wouldn't he go back again?

Su Shaoze's words are certainly very attractive, but working for others is not as comfortable as being your own boss~ So Maijia shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Thanks to Mr. Su for his fancy~"

It wasn't much of a surprise that Su Shaoze was rejected, and he just wanted to give it a try, to see if he could bring this great master into his company.

It doesn't matter if it fails.

Since the bald man doesn't want to be Su Shaoze's own son, it's fine to be his godson!

So Su Shaoze said: "Since you don't want to join Su's Films, I won't force you either."

"But I am really optimistic about your talent. Struggle Pictures is too small, and you don't even have enough money to make a movie. You need a bigger platform to display your talent."

"So, I am going to invest in your company!" Nai.

Chapter 132 Investing in New City

"how is it going?"

"Has Mr. Su agreed to invest in our film?"

When Mecca left in a daze, the two partners, Shi Tian and Huang Baiming, immediately came up to him.

Looking forward to Mecca!

Funny Times is the first project after the establishment of Struggle Films. If it can get the investment from Su Films, it will undoubtedly have a great advantage in theaters.

It can be said that it was half a success!

Looking at the two partners, Mecca shook his head slightly. "No?"

Seeing his expression, Shi Tian and the two were immediately disappointed.

Struggle Company now has [-] yuan in funds, and there is still a gap of [-] yuan. If Su Films does not invest, is it true that they are really asked to mortgage the property?

"No~" Looking at the disappointed expressions of the two "[-]" people, Mecca quickly shook his head.

"What Mr. Su wants to invest in is not the movie Funny Times, what he wants to invest in is our company." McGahn said.

Hearing this, Shi Tian and Huang Baiming were stunned for a moment.

"Are you sure that Mr. Su wants to invest in our company, are you kidding us?" Shi Tian said in a busy voice.

Their small company has just been established, it doesn't even have a finished movie, and its total assets are only [-] yuan.

And what about Su's Film Industry?

The family is big and the business is big, not only has the Terminator, the benchmark of Hong Kong Island movies, been shot, but the next happy ghost is also a big hit.

And I heard that the current Su Film Industry is currently working on three films at the same time, all of which are large-scale productions, with an investment of tens of millions.

Facing such a colossal Su Film Industry, their newly established Struggle Film Industry is really pitifully small.

The two really don't know why Su Shaoze likes their company!

"I won't joke with you about this kind of thing. Mr. Su's condition is two million to buy [-]% of our company's shares." Hearing Mecca's words, Shi Tian and his two voices suddenly rose: "Both One million?" Two million is a lot of money!

According to the valuation of [-] million [-]% shares, the total value of their company will reach [-] million.

But the actual assets of their company are only [-] yuan!

From this aspect, they undoubtedly took advantage of it.

"However, Mr. Su still has a condition, that is, the three of us must sign a five-year actor-director double-line contract with the company, and we must not leave the company within five years."

A casting director's contract?

Upon hearing this request, Shi Tian and Huang Baiming immediately knew that their plan had failed.

They were thinking just now that after selling [-]% of the company's shares to Su's Films, they would use the money to start a new business!

But obviously Su Shaoze is not so easy to deceive.

The most important reason for Xinyicheng's success is their group of people.

They must be tied up.

He will not interfere with the independent operation of Xinyi City, but he will not let them leave at will.

"Let's think about it too! This is not a trivial matter-" Mecca said in a deep voice.

"If we get the investment from Su's Film Industry, it will mean that the films that our company will produce in the future will receive the best treatment in Su's Cinemas." Huang Baiming said.

There are more and more film companies on Hong Kong Island, but there are only two theaters. The largest So's Cinemas carries the releases and distributions of most film companies on Hong Kong Island.

When to show, how long to show, and even whether to allow the film to be shown, it is up to Su's theaters to decide.

Film companies on Hong Kong Island all depend on the performance of the theaters.

And once Struggle Films is invested by Su Films, they will be the sons of Su Films.

Even if the film doesn't get the treatment of Su's film industry's son film, it will definitely give the green light all the way.

The benefits are obvious!

And if Su's film industry's investment is rejected, then the filming, distribution and release of Funny Times will be a problem.

Huang Baiming, who has the least share among the three, is already inclined to be a shareholder of Su Films.

But Shi Tian said: "It's not impossible for Su's film industry to invest in shares, but [-]% is really too much. It's better to reduce it to less than [-]%."

Mecca nodded immediately: "Two million is not enough, I think the value of our company should be five million!"

The bald guy in Mecca is very confident!

Obviously the company didn't even make a movie!But he dared to call out a quotation of 0 million, looking at the company's future value of [-]...

However, Mecca's vision is still low. At this time, he would never have imagined what kind of influence their company would have on Hong Kong Island's movies in the [-]s.

"Then continue negotiating with Su Films, asking for more money and less shares." Shi Tian nodded.

Mecca and Huang Baiming nodded, and quickly reached an agreement that Su's Pictures could take a stake in Struggle Pictures, but the conditions had to be discussed again.

But they didn't know Su Shaoze's attitude towards Frugal Films. It was okay to ask for more money, but the shares could not be lowered.

He must maintain an absolute holding of Struggle Pictures, [-]% is the bottom line, otherwise he would rather destroy this new city that is about to emerge.

As for the three of Mecca not agreeing and finding another way out, Su Shaoze would just smile lightly, thinking too much.

Compared with the previous life, the current film structure of Hong Kong Island has undergone major changes.

The rise of Xinyicheng in the previous life was inseparable from the support of the Golden Princess Cinemas.

Lei Juekun bought the theater chain, but he didn't have a film company in his hands, so he had to support Xinyicheng.

But it’s different now. The Golden Princess Theater is gone, and the Shaw Brothers Theater is gone.

Su's theater chain occupies more than 2.1% of the theaters on Hong Kong Island. If Struggle Pictures does not rely on Su's [-], then they can only go to Golden Harvest.

But it was Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long who were the main pushers on Golden Harvest. Even if they went to Mecca, Golden Harvest would not have a place for them.

Therefore, the rise of Xinyicheng is by no means accidental. Without the support of the Su family, it would be difficult for them to achieve the glory of their previous life.

Finally, after a period of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement.

Su Films invested [-] million yuan to acquire [-]% of the shares of Struggle Films.
