Chapter 118 Establishing a film company (third update!)

  Before joining Shaw Brothers, Zou Wenhuai was just a reporter. Although he had a good relationship with some wealthy businessmen, his family conditions were not rich.

  Later, he joined Shaw Brothers and became the number one person under Shao Yifu, but according to Shaw Brothers' stingy practice, although Zou Wenhuai has great power, it is not certain how much money he can make!

   But even under such circumstances, Zou Wenhuai was still able to leave Shaw Brothers with He Guanchang and others. After founding Golden Harvest, he immediately won Cathay Pacific’s previous theaters and studios.

  Funds were raised, and Wang Yu was recruited to shoot the movie "The One-Armed Swordsman vs. the Blind Man", which made Golden Harvest Films a hit.

  How did Zou Wenhuai get financial support?

  Actually, Zou Wenhuai’s funds come from two sources. The first one is the personal connections he accumulated when he was a reporter, coupled with his identity as a Chaozhou native, he was able to get help from some Chaozhou businessmen in Xiangjiang.

   And Zou Wenhuai's most important funds come from Japan, which is why Golden Harvest's films can easily open the Japanese market.

  Since the banknotes don’t completely belong to him, now that the capital behind has seen the scandal between Chu Huan and Miao Kexiu, and put forward the request to change the heroine, Zou Wenhuai must pay attention to it.

   Not only Zou Wenhuai pays attention to it, but Li Xiaolong must also pay attention to it.

  However, Li Xiaolong was more sympathetic than Zou Wenhuai, so Li Xiaolong was very persistent at the beginning, but the result of his persistence was not successful.

   "Aaron, I know you are a person of friendship. This movie will be like this first. When your next movie starts shooting, it is estimated that the limelight of this matter will pass. How about you bring Axiu with you?"

  Zou Wenhuai comforted Li Xiaolong.

  Li Xiaolong was also persuaded by Zou Wenhuai at this time, and said: "Okay."

  After Zou Wenhuai left, Li Xiaolong called Chu Huan's apartment.

   "A Huan, what's the matter? Come and talk!"

  After receiving Li Xiaolong's call, Chu Huan was not surprised, and said with a smile, "Okay, it just happens to be this weekend, are you at home?"

   "Here, I'll wait for you!"

  Chu Huan hung up the phone, put on a coat, and called Qin Peng to drive. The two arrived at Li Xiaolong's apartment in Mingde Garden.

  Chu Huan got off the car, and Qin Peng was waiting for Chu Huan in the car. After knocking on the door, it was Li Xiaolong's wife, Linda Emory, who opened the door. She was an Irish-born North American white woman.

  In the early days, he was Li Xiaolong's disciple, and later he began to date. In 1964, the two entered the wedding hall.

   Then in 1965 and 1969, Li Xiaolong gave birth to sons Li Guohao and Li Xiangning respectively.

   "You are Chu Huan, Aaron is already waiting for you in the study!"

   Linda Emery said enthusiastically after seeing Chu Huan.

   "Hi, this is a gift for you and two children!" Chu Huan handed the gift to Linda Emery.

  Hearing that there was a gift, Li Guohao in training clothes and Li Xiangning in a princess dress ran over from the living room.

   At this time, Li Guohao was only 7 years old, and Li Xiangning was only 3 years old.

   There are different opinions about Li Xiaolong's death in later generations. Some parties, including Zou Wenhuai, Ding Pei and others, gave the view that Li Xiaolong died suddenly.

  But unfortunately, when Li Guohao entered the film industry and started filming, the bullets in the pistol model became real and he was shot to death.

   This makes Li Xiaolong's death even more legendary.

  Hearing the movement, Li Xiaolong came out of the study. At this time, Li Xiaolong was also wearing a practice uniform, and his body was sweating profusely.

   "A Huan, you are here, come in!"

  Chu Huan smiled and talked to Linda Emery, and followed Li Xiaolong to his study.

   It is said that this is a study room, but in fact there are not many books in it. What attracts Chu Huan most is the set of Wing Chun wooden stakes placed in the middle, and a seat similar to electrocution in punishment.

   "I was doing electric shock exercise just now, do you want to try it?" Li Xiaolong said to Chu Huan with a smile.

  Chu Huan immediately waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I've heard of this thing, and ordinary people can't stand it once or twice."

  Li Xiaolong laughed and said: "The potential of the human body is infinite, as long as you are willing to exercise, you will definitely grow!"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "No need, I don't plan to fight with others, just look at this kind of thing."

   Li Xiaolong heard what Chu Huan said, and did not continue to discuss this topic in depth. After inviting Chu Huan to sit down, Linda Emery brought a glass of Coke, and Li Xiaolong brought a glass of milk.

   "Ah Huan, please come here this time, you should guess what is the reason?" Li Xiaolong talked to Chu Huan after drinking the milk.

  Chu Huan nodded and said, "Is it because of Axiu?"

  Li Xiaolong nodded, and said: "Although there have been rumors about my affair with Axiu, in fact, I have always regarded Axiu as my younger sister. If you really have any thoughts with her, don't worry about me."

   Is this an official explanation?

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "The photos in the newspaper are just taken out of context. My girlfriend Cao Yunshang was there at the time, but those paparazzi deliberately didn't take pictures!"

  Li Xiaolong said: "I already know this, but Mr. Zou found me today and told me one thing."

  Afterwards, Li Xiaolong told Chu Huan what Zou Wenhuai had told him.

  Chu Huan thought that Miao Kexiu would be affected by this scandal, but she didn't expect that Miao Kexiu would lose the opportunity to continue working with Li Xiaolong.

"I know, A Huan, your energy is more than what we have seen, so I wonder if you can help A Xiu, A Xiu is indeed a good seedling, if the future road is blocked because of this scandal, it is true It's a pity."

  Chu Huan pondered for a while, he was still willing to believe Li Xiaolong, since Li Xiaolong said that he and Miao Kexiu did not have the kind of relationship that was rumored outside, then there must be no relationship.

   And Chu Huan really has an idea to get a piece of Xiangjiang's entertainment industry.

  Although according to the development of later generations, Xiangjiang's entertainment industry has been brilliant for a period of time, but in fact there is a ceiling.

   But this is also caused by many other factors. In fact, countless Hong Kong entertainment travelers have already found a way for Chu Huan to keep Hong Kong's entertainment industry from declining.

  First, use the capital and population of Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Japan and other places to ensure that the Hong Kong entertainment industry will maintain the glory they should have in the 1980s and 1990s.

   Wait until the mid-to-late 1990s, and then we can deploy domestically.

   Without those detours, the upper limit of Xiangjiang entertainment industry can completely exceed the development in Chu Huan's memory.

   But it's only 72 years now, should I enter the field so early?

   But no matter what, Miao Kexiu's current situation, although it is not her own fault, but anyway, she is also a party involved.

   "Brother Long, can you help me get someone from Golden Harvest!"

Chu Huan didn't think about it for too long, so he made his own decision. The current Xiangjiang entertainment business has just started, but it is precisely because of this that there are more opportunities to develop, and to be honest, for the current Chu Huan Speaking of which, setting up a film company is not a difficult task.

  Li Xiaolong looked at Chu Huan in confusion. He asked Chu Huan to help solve Miao Kexiu's problem, but now Chu Huan asked for someone?

   "A Huan, what do you mean?" Li Xiaolong looked at Chu Huan with some uncertainty.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Since Jiahe is worried that Axiu's reputation will affect your movie, I believe she will definitely not be allowed to appear in other movies. Instead of letting her waste time in Jiahe, why don't I set up a film company here, so If so, Axiu will be hot on my side!"

  Li Xiaolong was really surprised. Although he somewhat guessed Chu Huan's decision just now, he couldn't help being surprised when he heard Chu Huan say that himself.

  “It doesn’t cost much to set up a film company, but it is not so easy to make the film company bigger and stronger.”

   At this time, all walks of life in Hong Kong are actually in a period of barbaric growth, and the same is true for the film industry.

  If you have an idea, you can register a film company with tens of thousands of dollars.

  However, for Xiangjiang Film Company, if you want to have a certain right to speak in this circle, then you need to have more things.

  Shaw Brothers, the fundamental reason why Golden Harvest has such a high status in Xiangjiang is because these two film companies have their own studios, and they also have their own theater companies.

   In addition, they also have distribution channels in other places.

   This is the foundation of their foothold.

  Li Xiaolong knew that Chu Huan's financial resources were enough to start a film company, but it was not so easy for studios and theaters.

   "Things always have to be done step by step. The studio can borrow Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest in the early stage. As for the theater chain? It is actually not too difficult to form a theater chain company."

  Now that he has decided to do it, Chu Huan has already started to think about these things in his heart.

  Hearing Chu Huan's confident expression, Li Xiaolong didn't know what to say for a moment. The impression of this young man is always so confident, as if there is nothing he can't do!

"But I think things should not be that simple. If you really set up your own theater chain, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest will regard you as a real opponent, so why would they lend you their studios? Come to shoot?" Li Xiaolong said with some doubts.

  Chu Huan chuckled: "Brother Long, there are some things that they don't have to do if they don't want to!"

  Li Xiaolong showed an interested expression: "So, you already have a specific idea?"

  Chu Huan nodded.

   "Well, I think Axiu has no objection to being able to join your film company, and now Axiu's position in Golden Harvest is quite embarrassing, Mr. Zou should be able to let her go!"

  Li Xiaolong thought about the sermon for a while.

But at this moment, Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Brother Long, what I just said wasn't Axiu, I think it's Brother Long who doesn't show up, and Mr. Zou also wants to get rid of this hot potato, I mean It's another person from Jiahe."

"Who?"

   "Hong Jinbao!"

   There are many more, the next chapter is at 2 pm~
