Chapter 436 A Voice
The night in Los Angeles is brightly lit, and in the bay, a yacht is moored on the calm sea, with bright lights and singing and dancing, and sometimes walking around with some beautiful bikini girls.
Jing Jian was wearing a plaid shirt, drinking red wine, sitting on a lounge chair, feeling the ups and downs and the breeze was gentle. Today is Hirata Katsura's treat, celebrating the listing and first round of financing of Blue Star. After a series of complex equity restructurings, yesterday, a 0.5% stake was arranged for a roadshow. The result was overjoyed, and the expected $3 per share was overwhelmed by more than $10. According to Goldman Sachs' recommendation, the financing price rose to $11 per share next week.
After being overjoyed, Hirata Yasumi was of course having fun in time. He booked a yacht and invited a group of ragged ladies to go out to sea to spend this wonderful weekend. Jing Jian was definitely one of the important guests, but not long after he boarded the boat, he received an uninvited guest.
Ding Sheng sat beside Jing Jian, staring at everything around him, and whispered: "Mr. Jing, there are three theaters in Hong Kong's theater chains that want to withdraw, and five landlords have terminated their leases and are willing to pay the penalty for liquidated damages. However, six of these eight companies have the intention to sell, which is that the offer is quite high."
"Hong Kong is so chaotic?" Jing Jian was a little surprised.
"There are many rumors, and there are several true or false ones a day, all about the north. Some say that the Sino-British Joint Statement will be invalidated, and some say that if you have the opportunity to be autonomous in the future, you will return to China in name only." After looking at Jing Jian, Ding Sheng continued cautiously, "There are also things about Jing Shao, who said that you... may not be able to support it."
"Just, those real estate people really think they are the kings of Hong Kong? Do they all grow up by eating shit?" Jing Jian sneered, "A Sheng, do you understand? If I don't have a motherland behind me, even if I make a few rumors, the two-five boys will be so ugly. By the same token, there is no strong motherland behind Hong Kong. Aren't they all pork belly? They are still fattened by European and American ghosts? They are really a group of idiots who are foolish."
"Yes." Ding Sheng was also full of anger, "I can just fucking you, but Hong Kong is a society ruled by law? I'll hold his lungs!"
Jing Jian smiled slightly: "Forget it, it's just a small trouble. If you want to withdraw, you can withdraw. If you don't rent it, you won't rent it. You should pay strictly according to the contract. We don't care. At most, we will spend money to buy a place and build a new cinema in the future. If you want to sell it to us, the price is right, then give us some face. If you want to sell it at a high price, let them go home and piss themselves and play with mud. The old rules are agreed within a time limit, and it will not be time to go out of date."
"Received, Young Master Jing." Then, Ding Sheng reported the second thing, "This time, Brother Sanmao asked me to tell me that he wanted to quit the company. The pressure outside was too great, and he couldn't stand it and could not start work at all. He was afraid that it would affect his future development."
"Oh? What's the situation?" Jing Jian was quite surprised. After the establishment of Zhongbao Movie, five movies started to be built, and three movies were produced or directed by Sammo Hung himself, two of which were sold well, with HK$24 million and HK$17 million respectively. The rest of the movies maintained a small profit in Hong Kong due to strict cost control. It can be said that their performance was quite beautiful.
Then these films operated in overseas markets, and performed very well. The dividends to Sammo Hung alone had already reached more than 17 million Hong Kong dollars. Jing Jian is a person who paid timely and did not want to make any small moves, and was transparent and open. In addition, Zhao Guangliang has already brought more than 500 million New Taiwan dollars to Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and there is no shortage of follow-up funds at all. It should be said that he has done very well. Why did Sammo Hung suddenly want to break up?
After a few wry smiles, Ding Sheng explained: "You can't blame Brother Sanmao. Some people are harassed when filming. Many artists and employees of the company are not obeying discipline. They have planned the case secretly. It is said that you are a red-topped businessman and are afraid of being banned by the treasure island. To be honest, Mr. Jing, some of them have participated in activities and walks outside."
Jing Jian was annoyed: "It was either explained that I did not care about my political tendencies or would never be allowed to participate in activities? Is it good for the company? Is it good for the future of those artists?"
Ding Sheng shrugged helplessly: "Everyone thinks he is the pioneer of justice, the salted egg superman, keeping up with fashion, attracting attention, right?"
"Forget it." Jing Jian was also not interested in paying attention to the idiots, "Brother Sanmao is leaving, so be at will. In the future, his videos will want to cooperate with our Seed Cinema. Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao. Anyway, the previous friendship has been used up. As for those who want to leave, you can get the termination fee. Those who participate in the event will let them get out! Do you really think that if you lack them, the earth will not turn?"
"What should I do with the film company?" Ding Sheng asked.
"You go and hire a professional manager. It doesn't matter if you don't have experience in the movie industry. We only do commercial movies, and what we need is modern business management." Jing Jian ordered, "I could have asked my fifth brother to take care of it, but he is studying in Hollywood now. Let's do this for the time being!"
"What about the shooting plan?" Ding Sheng asked again.
"We only shoot one type of movie, comedy action film, and strengthen cooperation with the mainland. Vase actresses mainly use the mainland. Three to five thousand are very good. How many people can be selected in Hong Kong? If you have buck teeth, you can be the Miss Hong Kong. The outdoor scene is also in the mainland. "Shaolin Temple" is a simple costume martial arts film, which is the kind that Shaw Brothers shoots badly. It has become a myth because of the scene of Songshan. There are many wonderful scenery in China. Let those local buns see what it means to be a beautiful country. Also, it is better to have nothing than to be too bad, and you must never give up our advantages, nor can you make bad movies for rushing to work. Three people must have a lesson. The advantages of Hollywood, the advantages of Hong Kong movies, and the advantages of the mainland must be combined together. Finally, we will form the style of our seeds."
"What if the treasure island is blocked?"
"It doesn't matter. If Hong Kong actors don't want to take on roles, we will promote newcomers; if Hong Kong newcomers don't want to, we will promote mainland China. And if we have so many overseas theaters in our hands, are we still afraid of banning just treasure islands? A group of idiots, when our seed theaters are completed, they should be afraid of our ban."
"I understand, Mr. Jing."
Jing Jian finally ordered: "This year and next two years will still be the layout stage of Seed Cinema. In addition to external acquisitions, internal cleaning also needs to be cleaned up. Those theaters that are half-hearted and franchise must be asked to get out as soon as possible. A Sheng, there is only one requirement for you and me, and don't happen again. In the future, whether it is Seed Cinema or Hong Kong Seed Film, there will only be one voice! My voice!"
