The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang

It can be seen that Hu Yingxiang was very attentive to the construction of the Tseung Kwan O studio, and Chu Huan followed him around without any opinion.

Hu Yingxiang followed Chu Huan, and said with a smile: "Chu Director, according to the current project progress, in another three months, the first studio in the Minguo District will be completed."

There are three studios in the Republic of China alone, which shows the future scale of the Tseung Kwan O studio.

"Employee dormitories, restaurants and other supporting facilities must keep up in time, otherwise even if the studio is completed, there will be no way to use it in time!"

Chu Huan said.

When the Tseung Kwan O studio can enter the crew, it will become the base camp of Chu Huan's black and white video, not to mention some artists, even high-level executives like Fang Jianhui will stay here for a long time.

Even Chu Huan himself needs a villa that belongs to him here.

Hu Yingxiang was a little worried: "The staff dormitory, restaurant, and supporting facilities may take longer."

Chu Huan also knew that this was not the same concept as a studio, so he said, "Just try your best!"

Then Chu Huan specially told: "But there must be no problems in terms of quality!"

Hu Yingxiang said with a smile: "You can rest assured, Director Chu!"

While Chu Huan and Hu Yingxiang were inspecting the construction progress of the studio, Wu Xiaoshi, the leader of the secretarial team of Jiaku Consulting Company, drove to the scene.

"Boss, Mr. Li Xiaolong has gone to the company to look for you. Ms. Xu asked me to inform you!"

There is no phone here, pagers have not yet appeared, let alone mobile phones, so looking for someone now can only appear artificially.

Li Xiaolong looking for himself?

If it was a personal matter, Xu Yi would definitely not have sent Wu Xiaoshi over. After thinking about it, Chu Huan preached to Hu Yingxiang.

"Hu Dong, I still have some things to deal with here, and I will leave the things here to you!"

"Okay, don't worry, Chairman Chu!" Hu Yingxiang patted his chest again and said.

Chu Huan nodded slightly, and returned to Jiahu Building with Wu Xiaoshi.

On the way, Chu Huan asked Wu Xiaoshi, "Do you know what it is?"

Wu Xiaoshi said: "It seems that Mr. Li is very unhappy about the cooperation with Warner!"

It was only then that Chu Huan remembered the Avengers alliance formed by Chen Qizong and others.

The first thing they did to themselves was that Luo Wei contacted Warner's Andrew Morgan, and the other party even said that from now on Li Xiaolong's Hollywood movies, Chu Huan's black and white images would not be able to participate.

It's just that after Chu Huan banned Luo Wei, he put this matter behind him. Now it seems that although Luo Wei was banned, Warner did not give up on this matter.

After Chu Huan returned to Jiahu Mansion, Li Xiaolong really came to talk to him about this matter.

"It's simply too hateful. Warner even proposed that if black and white images are added, they will stop supporting my new movie!"

After Li Xiaolong told Chu Huan what had happened, he preached angrily.

Chu Huan asked: "I heard that last year, under Mr. Zou's suggestion, your Xiehe Film signed a three-film contract with Warner. And it must be handed over to Warner for distribution?"

Li Xiaolong showed a regretful expression, and said: "That's right, but at the beginning they clearly agreed to me and agreed to participate in the investment of the next film with black and white images, but now they are not loyal!"

Chu Huan asked helplessly: "So, it wasn't stated in the contract at the time?"

Li Xiaolong nodded embarrassingly, and said: "That's true, but Mr. Zou told me that a company as big as Warner would definitely not deny such a thing. At that time, I didn't think much about it, so I signed the contract directly!"

Chu Huan was helpless, this matter was a little troublesome, he believed that Li Xiaolong had committed his old problem of being loyal and credulous in this matter.

But Zou Wenhuai's side is definitely not like this.

Today's black-and-white images are no longer black-and-white images of the past.

Just at the beginning of this year, Fang Jianhui finally established his own distribution channels in other cities with the help of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest's distribution channels in other cities.

In addition, now black and white video has begun to build its own studio.

It can be said that the black and white images at this time have no shortcomings.

My relationship with Shaw Brothers is not bad, and now the two sides are competing and cooperating with each other in movies, but they are not so friendly with Jiahe.

The rise of black-and-white images is actually a step-by-step step by stepping on Jiahe.

At this time, Golden Harvest has completely lost its advantage in Xiangjiang, and the only thing left is Li Xiaolong, the Hollywood card. If black and white images are allowed to develop in Hollywood through Li Xiaolong, Golden Harvest will only have one ending left, becoming black and white. Stepping stones on the road to video success.

When the black-and-white image is truly successful, it is time for Jiahe to lie dead.

So Zou Wenhuai definitely couldn't let Chu Huan let black and white images develop in Hollywood like this.

After the analysis, Chu Huan understood that Zou Wenhuai had taken over Luo Wei's baton and made a move on black and white images.

This has nothing to do with personal grievances, but business competition, which is a matter of life and death, so Zou Wenhuai can't care so much about it.

Seeing that Chu Huan remained silent, Li Xiaolong thought that Chu Huan was angry.

He suggested: "Ah Huan, why don't we go to court with Warner, anyway, my Xiehe Films has also signed a contract with your black and white images!"

After what happened to Luo Wei, both Chu Huan and Li Xiaolong believed that a simple verbal promise would be fine for the two of them.

But for Warner, people definitely don't recognize this.

So Chu Huan's black and white images signed a cooperation contract with Li Xiaolong's Xiehe Films.

The contract stipulated that Li Xiaolong's filming in Hollywood, black and white images have priority investment rights, of course, this investment rights only accounted for 30%!

When Chu Huan heard what Li Xiaolong said, he immediately shook his head and said, "You have just entered Hollywood. Although you have the success of "Enter the Dragon", you are still a rookie in the final analysis. If you file a lawsuit with Warner now, you will definitely leave a bad reputation in Hollywood. Good impression, when the time comes other film companies will reconsider their cooperation with you.

Warner Pictures must also have taken a fancy to this, so they want to ask for it so brazenly! "

Li Xiaolong said angrily: "But why should they, we also signed a contract!"

Chu Huan smiled helplessly: "Things are not that simple. First of all, I have just mentioned one reason. The other reason is that we only signed the contract in Xiangjiang. If we file a lawsuit with Warner, this is a transnational lawsuit. We also have an unfavorable advantage, and usually as long as such a lawsuit is filed, it will be a protracted lawsuit, so the popularity you have accumulated in Hollywood will soon be wiped out."

Sitting there, Li Xiaolong said helplessly: "This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. Should we just let them make decisions like this?"

At this time, Chu Huan showed a smile, and said, "Actually, Brother Long, you should be happy about this matter!"

Li Xiaolong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Happy? Why?"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Of course it's because the movie "Enter the Dragon" was so successful at the box office in North America. Think about it, with an investment of 800,000 US dollars, it has achieved a box office revenue of 25 million US dollars in North America alone. Huge profits, even those Hollywood film companies must be very jealous.

But when they saw that they couldn't get so much profit, they were naturally unwilling! "

Although Hollywood emphasizes that the bigger the investment, the more investment should come in. Only in this way can the investment risk be better shared.

But Li Xiaolong's films are different. In terms of investment type, although Li Xiaolong's films are only C-level productions, they are comparable to those A-level productions in terms of box office. Therefore, Hollywood film companies naturally want to put more investment rights in It's on me.

What's more, black and white images are not well-known in Hollywood, and it is a Xiangjiang film company. Simply put, it will be in Li Xiaolong's next film shooting.

Black and white images can only provide financial support, but can not provide other help.

The screening in Xiangjiang is supported by Golden Harvest's theater chain, and the distribution in Southeast Asia and other places also has the distribution channel of Golden Harvest.

Since Golden Harvest already has everything a black and white film has, why add a black and white film to share its own interests?

So even without Luo Wei's shit-stirring stick now, Warner certainly doesn't want to see the addition of black and white images.

Hearing what Chu Huan said, Li Xiaolong didn't know what to say.

He never thought that it was because of his own success that Chu Huan had problems.

"Then what should we do? We can't just let them succeed in this matter, can we?"

Chu Huan also had some headaches at this time. Although he already had Vertex Pictures in Hollywood, Vertex Pictures itself is a small transparent in Hollywood. To put it simply, its influence may not be as great as that of black and white images.

It doesn't work at all in this matter.

"Let me think of a solution first, there will always be a solution!" Chu Huan has no good solution now.

Seeing Chu Huan's expression, Li Xiaolong also said indignantly: "I don't know what Mr. Zou is thinking. We will enter Hollywood together. When the Hollywood company suppresses us, we will be able to report to each other for warmth. But now Choose to stand with Hollywood companies!"

It seems that Li Xiaolong also guessed that Zou Wenhuai was behind this matter.

Chu Huan got up, took out a can of Coke in the refrigerator and handed it to Li Xiaolong, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zou has his own consideration position, so leave this matter to me. When have you ever seen something that I can't solve?" ?”

Li Xiaolong could only nod helplessly and said, "Okay!"

Then Chu Huan sent Li Xiaolong away.

Sitting on the office chair, Chu Huan frowned lightly, the wind and clouds were lighter without Li Xiaolong.

I originally thought that things would go smoothly this year, but I didn't expect that there were still many problems.

The matter of Lifeng Toys did not go according to the plan I thought, which caused Youth Toys to roll out its own anti-fighting toy city plan in advance.

Now there is the matter of Li Xiaolong again.

"Huh, don't worry, things always have to be done step by step, and problems have to be solved one by one!"

After clearing up his mood, Chu Huan continued to work.

But what Chu Huan didn't expect was that after Li Xiaolong left Jiahu Building, he went directly to Zou Wenhuai.

"Mr. Zou, why did you do this about A Huan?"

After seeing Zou Wenhuai, Li Xiaolong suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Zou Wenhuai.

As if he had expected Li Xiaolong to come, Zou Wenhuai got up and came to Li Xiaolong's side, leaning on his desk.

"Aaron, I won't hide this matter from you. It is indeed the result of my discussion with Warner!"

Seeing that Zou Wenhuai confessed, Li Xiaolong became even more angry.

"Why? Mr. Zou, I believe in you so much, and now you are setting me up with Warner, making me break my promise in front of A Huan!"

Zou Wenhuai sighed: "Aaron, I know that you and Chu Huan have a very good relationship, but isn't the relationship between us not good? At the beginning, no one in Xiangjiang was optimistic about you. I personally flew to North America to pick you up." Please come back, it can be said that no one in Xiangjiang is more optimistic about you than me!"

He knew that Zou Wenhuai was playing the emotional card with him, but Li Xiaolong just accepted this trick.

So after hearing what Zou Wenhuai said, the anger on Li Xiaolong's face became less, but he still said with some dissatisfaction: "Mr. Zou, since this is the case, why do you want to trap me in injustice?"

Zou Wenhuai smiled wryly, and said, "Aaron, let me ask you, even if you didn't invest in your movie, what about Chu Huan's black and white images?"

Li Xiaolong said: "Now the second largest film company in Hong Kong, when the studio is established, it is very likely to become the largest film company in Hong Kong!"

Zou Wenhuai said with some sighs: "That's right, it took Chu Huan less than two years to complete all this, but do you know the current situation of Jiahe?"

Li Xiaolong looked at Zou Wenhuai in confusion. He was either making a movie or conceiving his own new script. He didn't pay much attention to the development of Golden Harvest.

Zou Wenhuai said helplessly: "The current Golden Harvest seems to be the third largest film company in Xiangjiang, but in fact, it is already in decline.

In the whole of last year, Golden Harvest produced 19 films, but less than five made money. This also includes your "Enter the Dragon". Golden Harvest's financial situation last year would have been in serious deficit, and Golden Harvest has actually only been established for four or five years.

If the film loses money, the theater chain will naturally not be able to make money. Now the black and white video has started to build its own studio. I have been to their construction site, and it will far exceed the existence of the Shaw Brothers Clear Water Bay studio. The Tseung Kwan O studio with black and white images was successfully built, and the business of Golden Harvest's studio would definitely drop sharply.

The same is true for distribution channels. Now Black and White Film has established its own distribution channel. In order to compete for the market, Black and White Film even accepts movies from other companies at a lower price.

It doesn't matter that Chu Huan is rich and powerful, but we Jiahe can't do it?

That is to say, Aaron is the only one left in Golden Harvest now. If I still let Chu Huan join in your film investment, then in the future Chu Huan will gradually erode our Golden Harvest investment share in your film. At that time, there will be only one result that Jiahe will face.

collapse! "

At the end of the sermon, Zou Wenhuai's tone showed the feeling of a hero's twilight.

But in fact Zou Wenhuai at this time is only 47 years old!

Zou Wenhuai's emotional card is still useful. After saying this, Li Xiaolong was embarrassed to get angry with Zou Wenhuai again, but he still preached.

"But we can obviously develop together. Aren't Ah Huan and Shao Yifu living together peacefully now?"

Zou Wenhuai shook his head and said: "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that Golden Harvest has no way to compare with Shaw Brothers. Shaw Brothers is a large-scale studio system. The actors and directors are basically their own people. In their own theaters outside the city, Shaw Brothers has completed its own internal cycle.

To put it simply, for a movie with a box office of 1 million, Shaw Brothers can earn 600,000 to 700,000 yuan, while Golden Harvest can only earn 300,000 to 400,000 yuan.

So no matter whether Chu Huan's black-and-white image becomes the number one in Xiangjiang or the second in Xiangjiang, it will not delay Shaw's own money.

And you know the relationship between Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers. I believe that Yifu Shao would rather watch Chu Huan's black and white image become the No. 1 in Hong Kong than watch us develop.

Aaron, I hope you can understand me. Now Golden Harvest has reached the most dangerous time. If no changes are made, Golden Harvest may become a piece of history in the Xiangjiang film industry! "

Li Xiaolong was speechless.

"Aaron, I know this matter has embarrassed you, and now I hope you can see that you and I have worked together happily over the years, and don't hate me anymore!"

At this time, Zou Wenhuai can be said to have put his attitude to the lowest.

But this is also impossible!

This is what Li Xiaolong couldn't bear the most, and in the end he didn't get any answer he wanted from Zou Wenhuai, so he could only leave Zou Wenhuai's office.

After Li Xiaolong left, He Guanchang came to Zou Wenhuai's office.

"How did you talk with Aaron?"

At this time, Zou Wenhuai had already sat back in his seat, his face full of melancholy and loneliness, "I know Aaron, this matter should be over!"

He Guanchang also heaved a sigh of relief when he heard what Zou Wenhuai said. At this moment, the whole Golden Harvest knew that they couldn't do without Li Xiaolong. If they separated from Li Xiaolong again, then the only fate waiting for Golden Harvest was to go bankrupt.

On this point, Zou Wenhuai did not lie to Li Xiaolong.

"Achang, do you think we, Golden Harvest, can really catch up with black and white images again?"

Thinking of his ambitions when he started his own business, and looking at the situation Golden Harvest is facing now, Zou Wen felt a sense of failure.

He Guanchang said firmly: "Yes, definitely!"

Seeing that there was no change in Zou Wenhuai's expression, He Guanchang could only continue to comfort him.

"Raymond, in fact, the path we took at Golden Harvest was not wrong. The reason why Chu Huan's black-and-white images were able to succeed is that we followed the same path as us. This has already proved that our original judgment was correct, but..."

Speaking of this, He Guanchang also preached helplessly.

"It's just that none of us thought that Chu Huan would be so rich, and that he would be so lucky to find such treasures as Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long, Liu Pingkui, Lin Qingxia, and Zhao Yazhi."

Now that the chatterbox has been opened, He Guanchang continued to preach.

"Raymond, Chu Huan can learn from our Golden Harvest when creating black and white images, and we Golden Harvest can also learn from Chu Huan at this time.

Now the overseas box office share of "Enter the Dragon" has arrived. In addition to preparing for the investment share of Aaron's next film, we should also create our own artist training class and invest in our own new director competition. Xiangjiang still has many talents. Yes, I believe we will be able to bring Jiahe back to its original position! "

Hearing what He Guanchang said, Zou Wenhuai rekindled his fighting spirit, and said: "Yes, our Golden Harvest has not yet fallen. Back then we had the courage to start from scratch. Now we should naturally have the ambition to set sail again!"

Seeing Zou Wenhuai like this, He Guanchang heaved a sigh of relief.

If Golden Harvest is regarded as a big ship, Zou Wenhuai is the helmsman of this big ship, and he is leading Golden Harvest to move forward. If even Zou Wenhuai has no fighting spirit, then Golden Harvest is actually over!

Problems don't stop the world from running.

After finishing a day's work, Chu Huan came to Miao Kexiu's villa in Repulse Bay.

Originally, the literary film that Miao Kexiu filmed last year was going to participate in this year's Taiwan Golden Donkey Awards, but for some unknown reason, just this year, the Golden Donkey Awards suddenly announced that it would suspend this year's holding.

All the films that entered the competition this year will be placed in the competition next year.

This disappointed Miao Kexiu, who was once full of confidence.

Although Chu Huan has a lot of troubles in business, he should comfort himself when he is a woman!

When Chu Huan came to the villa, he didn't see Miao Kexiu. After being notified by the servant, Chu Huan found out that Miao Kexiu was currently venting his youthful youth in the practice room on the first floor!

Although Miao Kexiu participated in a literary film, Miao Kexiu did not intend to give up her identity as a beating girl.

So every day when I have nothing to do, I will exercise.

So in this villa, Chu Huan specially decorated a practice room for Miao Kexiu.

Chu Huan came to the practice room, and before he entered, he heard humming and hahaha voices coming from inside.

Push the door open and enter. There is a large room with a round sports pad in the middle. Miao Kexiu is standing in the middle in a tight-fitting sportswear. She is training with her bodyguard Li Le, and Miao Kexiu's other bodyguard Huang Dan. It is to stand aside and watch.

Seeing Chu Huan coming in, Huang Dan wanted to come, but Chu Huan waved his hand to signal that he didn't need it.

Finding a place at random, Chu Huan sat down on the floor.

On the sports protective pad, Miao Kexiu and Li Le were in contact, but even Chu Huan, a non-professional martial arts talent, could tell that Li Le had been giving way to Miao Kexiu.

Miao Kexiu's attack has a stronger routine, but Li Le's boxing method is flexible and changeable, without a fixed routine.

The two sides are so lively when you come and I go!

In the end Miao Kexiu stopped the sparring, standing there with her hands on her knees panting for breath, while Chu Huan got up, took off her shoes, picked up the towel and thermos next to her, and came to Miao Kexiu's room. around.

"Thank you, Brother Huan!"

Only then did Miao Kexiu realize that Chu Huan had come.

Happily taking the towel from Chu Huan's hands to wipe off the sweat on his body, Li Le and Huang Dan immediately left the practice room when they saw this situation.

"Why didn't you call me in advance when you came here?" Miao Kexiu was indeed a little tired, and she was already sitting cross-legged on the protective pad.

Chu Huan imitated Miao Kexiu and sat down with Miao Kexiu, and said with a smile: "If I had called in advance, how could I have seen you so handsome and heroic!"

Miao Kexiu smiled shyly and said, "If you want to see it, I'll call you anytime!"

Chu Huan asked with a smile: "Is it because of the Golden Donkey Award?"

Miao Kexiu shook her head with a sweet smile and said, "When I first found out, I was really worried, but now I don't. I don't film to win awards!"

Seeing Miao Kexiu's frankness, Chu Huan stopped entangled in this matter.

Miao Kexiu suddenly said to Chu Huan: "By the way, Brother Huan, Brother Long called me earlier and said he wanted me to apologize to you. Did something happen?"

Chu Huan smiled wryly and said, "This Aaron, I didn't expect him to take this matter so seriously!"

After leaving here, she even called Miao Kexiu to apologize to herself, which Chu Huan did not expect.

Then Chu Huan told Miao Kexiu what happened today.

Miao Kexiu said worriedly: "If you can't invest in Brother Long's movie, will it be a big loss for you?"

In fact, in terms of loss, it really wasn't that big of a loss for Chu Huan. Previously, Chu Huan wanted to use Li Xiaolong's brand to open up the North American film market.

But now that he has Vertex Pictures and Spielberg in his hands, investing in Li Xiaolong's film is not so important to Chu Huan.

After all, no matter how high the box office is for Li Xiaolong's movies, the box office of movies with oriental faces starring in western movies is always limited.

What really made Chu Huan unhappy was that he did not take the initiative in this matter!

Because in Chu Huan's view, I don't need things, but you can't say no to them!

So at this time Chu Huan already hated Golden Harvest and Warner!

"The loss is not big, but it will be very unhappy to be manipulated like this!"

Miao Kexiu asked: "I think Brother Long must have tried his best, otherwise he wouldn't have called me personally!"

Chu Huan nodded and said, "Of course I know this!"

Miao Kexiu looked at Chu Huan, and couldn't help worrying, "Brother Huan, I believe that even if you don't have Brother Long's movies, you will definitely be able to succeed in Hollywood."

Chu Huan laughed, and said, "It doesn't matter if you succeed or not, the most important thing is to make money!"

Seeing Chu Huan's smile, Miao Kexiu said with confidence: "Then I'll take a shower first, and then I'll have dinner with you!"

After speaking, Miao Kexiu got up and wanted to leave.

Chu Huan looked at Miao Kexiu in tight sportswear, showing off her good figure to the fullest, and suddenly threw Miao Kexiu onto the protective pad.

"That's good."

Today is gone, thank you everyone, the next chapter will be at twelve o'clock tomorrow morning~~
