Chapter 226 "The Raptors Crossing the River" starts (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

  Inviting Zhong Zhichen to have dinner together was Chu Huan's impromptu idea after hearing Yasuo Kamakura's praise of Zhong Zhichen this afternoon.

   Regarding Chu Huan's invitation, Zhong Zhichen naturally couldn't say anything, and got into Chu Huan's car in a hurry.

  In the restaurant, Chu Huan didn't chat with Zhong Zhichen about the comic company, but about their school affairs, about Zhong Zhichen's girlfriend, about basketball, and by the way, about Zhong Zhichen's sequelae of hemorrhoids.

   Just like that, the meal time was over, Chu Huan returned to the apartment by car, and Zhong Zhichen took a taxi back to his home.

  The meaning is self-evident.

  Chu Huan returned to the apartment and saw Cao Yunshang cleaning up the dishes.

   "Come here tonight, why didn't you tell me in advance?" Chu Huan took off his coat and went to the kitchen to help Cao Yunshang clean up the dishes.

  Cao Yunshang smiled and said: "The company's affairs ended relatively early, so I wanted to come over to see what you were doing, but I didn't expect you to be here yet, and I was about to pack up and go back!"

   "I went to black and white video and fantasy comics today, and won people's hearts tonight!" Chu Huan took the empty washed bowl from Cao Yunshang's hand and put it aside.

   "Is there something wrong with the company?" Cao Yunshang asked curiously.

   "No, everything is fine, just an investment in advance, just in case!" Chu Huan said relaxedly.

  The two returned to the living room together, and the wireless station on the TV was promoting the first Miss Xiangjiang held by them.

Miss Xiangjiang was held in Xiangjiang in 1946, but at that time it was held by Retiro Nightclub, which was more of a private nature, and it was also held irregularly. This year, TVB is officially holding this session Miss Xiangjiang election.

  In this election of Miss Xiangjiang, apart from Zhao Yazhi, who is no longer able to participate, there is another well-known figure, that is, the mother of Xie Xiaochu, who will also participate in this year's Miss Xiangjiang election.

  However, the number one Miss Xiangjiang chosen by TVB itself was not Di Bola, but Sun Yongen. Di Bola was the champion selected by the Xiangjiang Oriental Beauty Pageant.

  Later Deborah also became Miss Asia.

   "Wireless TV is very good at timing. Now that the Hong Kong stock market is in a downturn, everyone doesn't go out very much. They just stay at home and watch TV. Now that there is such an election for Miss Xiangjiang, it will definitely attract a group of people."

  Nested in Chu Huan's arms, watching the content on TV, Cao Yunshang preached softly.

Chu Huan chuckled and said, "This is how the entertainment industry is. In fact, whether it's TV or movies, this type of entertainment consumes less money and lasts a long time. Whenever there is a social economic recession, this industry is developing at a high speed. !"

  Cao Yunshang smiled and said, "Doesn't this mean that this year is also a period of rapid development of black and white images?"

Chu Huan thought of his experience in black and white video this morning, nodded, and said, "That's true. Fatty Fang is quite capable. He made the Xiangjiang New Director Competition, and he has indeed discovered a few talents for the company. This year The company should release more movies!"

   Speaking of this, Chu Huan suddenly thought of something, and said to Cao Yunshang in his arms: "Hand me the phone!"

  Cao Yunshang obediently talked on the coffee table, took the phone and handed it to Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan dialed the number of Fang Jianhui's residence. This fat man has moved out since he took the position of general manager of Black and White Video. Now that he has broken up with Rachel, he should be more chic.

  After the bell rang a few times, Fang Jianhui answered the call.

   "Who!"

   "Your father!"

"dad!"

"obedient!"

   "Damn, Brother Huan didn't take advantage of you like this!" Only then did Fang Jianhui realize that it was Chu Huan's voice.

  Cao Yunshang lightly beat Chu Huan's chest in Chu Huan's arms, and Chu Huan said to Fang Jianhui: "Do you know about Miss Xiangjiang being held by TVB?"

  Fang Jianhui said on the phone: "I know, there are still advertisements on TV!"

   "Pay attention to this competition."

   "What's the matter? Brother Huan, do you have a girl you like and want to compete?" Fang Jianhui immediately spoke without holding back.

Feeling the pain in his waist, Chu Huan held the phone and said sternly: "Fang Jianhui, I didn't expect you to be such a nasty person. Am I that kind of person? I mean these girls , after the TVB's publicity, it must have gained some fame in Xiangjiang, which can be used to replenish the company's artist pool!"

"That's right!" Hearing Chu Huan's explanation, Fang Jianhui immediately preached in surprise, and didn't care about Chu Huan's sarcasm, but then he said with some worry: "This is indeed a good way, but the TV station and Shaw Even if we want to make a move, it won’t be so easy, right?”

   "Is everyone competing fairly? Besides, our black-and-white image conditions are much better than Shaw Brothers. I believe those girls will be more willing to join our company!"

  Chu Huan preached firmly.

  In the final analysis, the election of Miss Xiangjiang is actually the original talent show, but there are still some differences between it and domestic talent shows.

  The domestic talent show is the kind of show that basically signed a contract with the agency before the competition, and the audition is just a way for the artists of the agency to make their debut.

  Miss Xiangjiang is different. During the competition period, they do not need to sign a contract with TVB or Shaw Brothers. They will not negotiate contracts with these two companies until after the draft.

   In the last life, Zhao Yazhi won the fourth place in Miss Xiangjiang, and she didn't sign a contract with Wireless or Shaw Brothers, but went back and continued to be her own stewardess.

   To put it simply, at this time, TVB is actually paying more attention to Miss Xiangjiang, the drafting sign, rather than those drafting girls!

  Fang Jianhui said: "Okay, I know, I will pay attention to this matter!"

Chu Huan nodded, and finally said: "As the general manager of black and white images, don't have so many dirty thoughts in your mind in the future. Even if you are dirty, it doesn't mean that other people are like you. Understand, I am I love Yunshang very much!"

  After speaking, Chu Huan hung up the phone.

  Fang Jianhui was left behind on the other end of the phone!

  Cao Yunshang giggled in Chu Huan's arms, and Chu Huan glared at Cao Yunshang: "Are you very proud of pinching just now!"

  Cao Yunshang raised her neck slightly, showed a bewildered look at Chu Huan, blinked her big eyes, and said pitifully, "Brother Huan, I made a mistake!"

  The river between the two hills leads directly to the flat plain. Chu Huan gave a strange laugh and immediately hugged Cao Yunshang!

In the following period of time, Chu Huan's life became very regular. In the morning, he would deal with Jiahu Textile and Huhua Real Estate in Jiahu Building, and in the afternoon, he would go to Hong Kong University to continue his studies. Have you almost forgotten? Chu Huan also has the status of a student of the University of Hong Kong.

  At home in the evening, accompany Cao Yunshang to live a two-person world, or go to Miao Kexiu's home, play two-person poker, and occasionally go to Lin Qingxia and Zhao Yazhi to have dinner together, two young and beautiful girls.

  Life is quite carefree.

   But when May entered, Chu Huan's life became busy again. First of all, the first real estate under the name of Huhua Real Estate was about to go on sale this month.

  Secondly, Luo Jichang also brought good news to Chu Huan. With the unremitting efforts of the factory technicians, the air spinning technology for denim was finally researched.

  Finally, "Fantasy Manga" will finally be officially released in the European and American markets!

  The three things need Chu Huan to deal with now.

   But even so, before that, Chu Huan still dealt with another matter first.

   On this day, the sun was shining brightly, and Chu Huan drove to Qingshan Temple in the western New Territories of Xiangjiang, which is one of the oldest temples in Xiangjiang.

  Chu Huan came here, of course, not to burn incense and pray for blessings, but to participate in the opening ceremony!

  The movie that ingeniously uses this place as the opening ceremony is naturally Li Xiaolong's first movie "Enter the Dragon" in Hollywood!

Originally, Li Xiaolong filmed "Game of Death" in South Korea, but as Li Xiaolong's last film "Raptors Crossing the River" became famous in the European and American markets, Zou Wenhuai deeply felt that the Hong Kong and Southeast Asian markets were seriously lost, and urgently needed The European and American markets are continuing Golden Harvest's life, so Li Xiaolong was called back urgently to shoot this first movie in Hollywood.

  Different from another time and space, this film is produced by Xiangjiang's Golden Harvest Film Company, Concord Film Company, Black and White Image Film Company, and Hollywood's Warner Pictures Co., Ltd., Concord Film Company!

Among them, Golden Harvest, black-and-white video, and Warner accounted for 30% of the investment, and Xiehe 10%, but the box office share has changed. Concord takes 10% of the box office profit share, and Warner takes 15% of the box office profit share.

  However, in the European and American markets, Warner has a monopoly of 40% of the box office profit share, and Golden Harvest and Black and White Video each hold 25% of the box office profit share.

   Concord still accounts for 10% of the box office profit share.

  The investment of the entire film is calculated in US dollars, which is 800,000 US dollars, which means that the investment in black and white images is 240,000 US dollars!

   According to the statistics of later generations, the box office of this film in Hong Kong is not high, only 3.895 million Hong Kong dollars, but its global revenue is as high as 90 million US dollars. Afterwards, it was re-screened many times, and the box office has accumulated to 230 million US dollars!

  In the dark 1970s of Hollywood, this box office also officially established Li Xiaolong's status as a global superstar!

   Qingshan Temple, which used to be peaceful in the past, has become full of people today. When Chu Huan walked to the gate of Qingshan Temple on foot, he saw that the place was already surrounded by reporters from Xiangjiang.

  Everyone has an excited expression on their faces, because the movie "Enter the Dragon" really has too much news to report.

   This is the first person in Xiangjiang film, Li Xiaolong's first film officially entered Hollywood, not only invested by Xiangjiang film company, but also Hollywood film company Warner Pictures.

   Such a situation makes Xiangjiang people very proud.

   In addition, the movie "Enter the Dragon" is the first collaboration between Golden Harvest and Black and White Video, the old enemies. Who in Xiangjiang does not know the grievances between Golden Harvest and Black and White Video.

   Now that these two companies are able to let go of their grievances and jointly invest in the movie "Enter the Dragon", how did Black and White Films manage to grab food from Golden Harvest?

  Why did Golden Harvest watch her profits being taken away by Black and White Films?

   Or, Golden Harvest, the black-and-white images have let go of their previous prejudices and are ready to work together?

   It was precisely because of these questions that when Chu Huan came to Qingshan Temple, the reporters immediately attracted the attention of reporters, and they all surrounded Chu Huan, wanting to know some real situations from Chu Huan.

  Being popular in the crowd, Chu Huan saw Gu Chengxi.

After Gu Chengxi received Chu Huan's 1 million Hong Kong dollars, she immediately resigned from "Sing Pao". She did not choose to start from scratch, but took advantage of the current bad market in Xiangjiang to buy a In the usual newspaper, which could not be bought by a million dollars, and at Chu Huan's suggestion, it was renamed "True News"!

   Gu Chengxi himself became the editor-in-chief of this newspaper!

   Now, for the sake of newspaper sales, Gu Chengxi is also going to the battle in person to cover various reports, especially for big news like now, she has to come here in person.

   Gu Chengxi in the crowd blushed instantly when she saw Chu Huan approaching, but she still surrounded Chu Huan like other reporters, hoping to get some news from Chu Huan.

   Facing so many reporters, Chu Huan didn't answer any questions, but under the protection of Lin Feng and others, he walked through the crowd and entered Qingshan Temple.

   Immediately, Chu Huan saw that Li Xiaolong and others had already arrived at the scene first, because the opening ceremony was held at Qingshan Temple, so things like killing pigs and praying for blessings must not be done.

   Not only Li Xiaolong was there, but Zou Wenhuai from Golden Harvest was also there, and there were also many white and black people. Among these people, some were actors from "Enter the Dragon" and there were also staff from Warner Pictures.

  Seeing Chu Huan approaching, Li Xiaolong immediately smiled and greeted him, "Why are you here now!"

  Chu Huan didn't take Li Xiaolong's complaints to heart, and said with a smile: "The company has some temporary matters, and we'll come over as soon as we deal with them!"

  Li Xiaolong laughed and said: "You are really busy with your affairs now!"

   "Brother Long, you are just making fun of me!" Chu Huan laughed as usual.

   "By the way, let me introduce you to a friend!"

  Li Xiaolong turned around excitedly and waved, a beautifully dressed girl walked over, and when she saw Chu Huan, she called out generously, "Young Master Huan!"

   "This is my good friend Ding Pei!" Li Xiaolong embraced Ding Pei's fragrant shoulders without any concealment, and introduced to Chu Huan.

  Ding Pei, a woman who is also very legendary.

  She is not from Xiangjiang, but was born on Taiwan Island. Her ancestors are also celebrities, and the most famous one is naturally her uncle Zhang Liuzi.

  Born in Taiwan, she came from a wealthy family, but Ding Pei chose to become an actor, but she did not become famous in Taiwan. Later, at the suggestion of her friends, she came to Xiangjiang and joined Shaw Brothers.

   Filmed several **** movies one after another, and gained some fame in Xiangjiang. Later, Zou Wenhuai defected to Shaw Brothers, and Ding Pei was one of the actors who followed Zou Wenhuai to leave Shaw Brothers!

   But this is not important anymore. What Ding Pei is really known for is the story between her and Li Xiaolong, and the four-year marriage between her and Xiang Yuqiang!

   It is precisely because of Ding Pei's appearance that Li Xiaolong's wife has returned to North America with her children.

   "Hello!" Chu Huan shook hands with Ding Pei politely.

   Then Chu Huan asked Li Xiaolong: "Will Ms. Ding also participate in the filming of your film?"

  Li Xiaolong shook his head and said: "No, I was worried that Ah Pei would be bored at home alone, so I brought her here!"

  Chu Huan chuckled.

  The three of them did not continue chatting, Zou Wenhuai had already walked over at this time, with a forced smile on his face.

  Chu Huan expressed understanding for Zou Wenhuai's expression. Whoever it was, would not be happy to see the benefits he had obtained distributed to others.

  Especially this other person, who is still his business opponent.

   "Young Master Huan turned his hand over the clouds in Xiangjiang, and his ability to cover the rain is really amazing!" Zou Wen said meaningfully.

  No matter how much he dislikes Chu Huan in his heart, Zou Wenhuai has to sigh that Chu Huan's ability is indeed rare in Xiangjiang.

  At the beginning, Zou Wenhuai, like many people, thought that Chu Huan was over, but he didn't expect that it turned out to be a big show that Chu Huan put on for the whole Xiangjiang.

  Now Chu Huan is already a super rich man in Xiangjiang with a net worth of over 700 million.

   Looking at Chu Huan again at this time, Zou Wenhuai actually felt a sense of powerlessness. You must know that Zou Wenhuai didn't even have such thoughts when facing Shao Yifu, who was far more wealthy than Chu Huan.

   There is no way, the development of black and white images is really too fast, so fast that Zou Wen has a feeling of being overwhelmed.

  The Xiangjiang Emerging Directors Contest has made black and white images a strong player again. With the addition of veteran directors like Li Hanxiang, Hong Jinbao has gradually become a witty action movie, and Liu Pingkui's urban comedy movies. If there is any weakness in the current black and white images.

   That is, I haven't established my own studio yet, and I still lack some actors.

   But is this really a problem?

  There are still four years left in the studio contract between Black and White Video and Shaw Brothers. Who among the actors in Xiangjiang can refuse the invitation of Black and White Video!

   What's more, there are actors like Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanjie, Hu Feng, Lin Qingxia, Zhao Yazhi, and Cheng Long in black and white videos nowadays.

  Black-and-white video has become a real giant in the Xiangjiang film industry, and it is no longer the film company that Golden Harvest can control at will. It seems that I have never been successful on my side!

  Even this year, some newspapers in Xiangjiang have announced that the black and white video has surpassed Golden Harvest at this time and has become the second-ranked film company in Xiangjiang!

   "Mr. Zou's praise, I'm just a newcomer in the film industry, and I still have a lot of things to ask Mr. Zou for advice!"

   Whether it was because of Li Xiaolong's face, or because the two sides were in a temporary state of cooperation, Chu Huan did not act very ostentatiously, but preached humbly.

  Zou Wenhuai gave a wry smile, and said, "Now in Xiangjiang, who else can guide Huan Shao!"

   After the two parties exchanged pleasantries, Li Xiaolong introduced to Chu Huan the representative of Warner Pictures, Andrew Morgan, one of the producers of the movie "Enter the Dragon".

  He is an old acquaintance of Li Xiaolong. He was also one of the producers of Li Xiaolong's "Fist of Fury" before. Warner also took a fancy to the relationship between him and Li Xiaolong, so they recruited him to be in charge of this "Enter the Dragon".

   "Huan, you are very welcome. I have been hearing from Bruce that you are a very talented person. I finally met you today!" Andrew Morgan greeted Chu Huan very warmly.

He is an expert in Huaguo, and he is very familiar with the affairs of Xiangjiang. Since the black and white video confirmed that he will invest in this "Enter the Dragon", Andrew Morgan has conducted research on Chu Huan. Andrew Morgan was taken aback.

  Chu Huan's life experience is really wonderful. At the age of 20, he has become a billionaire in Xiangjiang. He has rarely seen such an achievement.

   "Mr. Morgan, you are being polite. Brother Long deliberately raised me up!" When Chu Huan chatted with Andrew Morgan, he seemed much more enthusiastic. Maybe this person will be a springboard for him to enter the Hollywood market in the future.

  For those who can make him a lot of money, Chu Huan has always been unsparing in his enthusiasm.

   "Is Mr. Morgan still used to being in Xiangjiang? We have a lot of delicious and fun places in Xiangjiang. If I have time, I can arrange someone to take Mr. Morgan to take a good look around Xiangjiang!"

  Andrew Morgan showed a happy smile. He himself is very optimistic about Xiangjiang's movies now, and he also understands the importance of black and white images in Xiangjiang's film industry at this time. For Chu Huan's kindness, Andrew Morgan is naturally very happy to accept it.

   "Is it possible? If so, that would be great. I personally thank Mr. Chu for his arrangement. After today's opening ceremony is over, I sincerely invite Mr. Chu to dinner!"

  Chu Huan laughed, "OK, I will invite Mr. Morgan to taste the most authentic Chinese cuisine in Xiangjiang tonight!"

   "It's my favorite!" laughed Andrew Morgan.

  Seeing where Chu Huan and Andrew Morgan were talking and laughing happily, Zou Wenhuai felt uncomfortable. The line that he finally hooked up with, now let Chu Huan hook up with such a few words?

   Zou Wenhuai, who was upset in his heart, stepped forward to join the chat between Chu Huan and Andrew Morgan.

  Looking at the situation in front of him, Li Xiaolong smiled wryly. He naturally knew what Chu Huan and Zou Wenhuai were doing, but this was beyond what he could persuade.

  Ding Pei said curiously beside him: "I've only seen photos of Huan Shao in newspapers before, but I didn't expect Huan Shao to be such a young and handsome boy!"

  Li Xiaolong said with a smile: "When I first met A Huan, I still wanted him to join the film industry. Now it seems that A Huan already had his own goal at that time."

  Ding Pei snuggled up beside Li Xiaolong, and said softly: "It's not bad now, he is a famous rich man in Xiangjiang, and you are the most famous movie star in Xiangjiang. There will definitely be more opportunities for cooperation in the future!"

  Li Xiaolong nodded and said, "That's natural!"

   Not long after, today's master of ceremonies announced that the opening ceremony of the movie "Enter the Dragon" had officially begun, and those reporters who had been blocked outside were also let in at this time.

  Because the situation of Qingshan Temple has to be considered, the opening ceremony of "Enter the Dragon" this time is also different from the opening ceremony of other Xiangjiang movies.

   But everything remains the same, no matter how much money Chu Huan has now, today, here, the protagonist can only be Li Xiaolong.

  Under the leadership of Li Xiaolong, everyone prayed for the opening ceremony together!

  Gu Chengxi was holding the camera and was about to take pictures. At this moment, someone bumped his elbow suddenly. If it wasn't for Gu Chengxi's quick reaction, the camera would have fallen to the ground.

   "Sorry, didn't see it!"

  Gu Chengxi turned around and saw Guan Jing with a smug face.

  Since Gu Chengxi left "Sing Pao", Guan Jing has taken over Gu Chengxi's position. This time, Guan Jing is also in charge of the opening ceremony of "Enter the Dragon".

Guan Jing didn't know that Gu Chengxi was now the editor-in-chief of "True Pao", but after she made many mistakes in "Cheng Pao", she was ashamed to stay in "Cheng Pao" and changed her job to an unknown small newspaper. .

   Naturally, Gu Chengxi would not be taken seriously.

   Gu Chengxi ignored Guan Jing, but found another angle to take pictures for the opening ceremony.

  After the opening ceremony, it was naturally time for reporters to visit.

  Guan Jing, who was newly taken over, was naturally full of desire at this time, raising her hands repeatedly to ask questions, and Gu Chengxi naturally did the same for the sales of the new newspaper.

  The enthusiastic performance of the two caught the attention of the master of ceremonies. In fact, the master of ceremonies had already noticed Guan Jing.

  In order to obtain first-hand information, before the opening ceremony, Guan Jing had already secretly stuffed a red envelope into the master of ceremonies.

   Now seeing Guan Jing raised her hand, the master of ceremonies pointed directly at Guan Jing and said, "Please ask that reporter!"

Guan Jing proudly glanced at Gu Chengxi next to her, and then asked aloud: "Mr. Li Xiaolong, I heard that your wife has returned to North America angrily because of your relationship with Ms. Ding Pei, and now you are bringing Ms. Ding Pei to attend the meeting again." In the launching ceremony of my new movie, do you want to disclose the relationship between the two of you!"

   Hoo! !

  The reporters at the scene heard Guan Jing's first question so explosively, and they all cast admiring eyes on Guan Jing, but in this admiring eyes, there was also the meaning of looking at two hundred and five.

   On such an occasion, if such a question is asked, this female reporter may never have the opportunity to interview Li Xiaolong again.

  Guan Jing didn't realize this, and she was secretly delighted at this moment, as a reporter should be so daring to ask.

   Sure enough, after hearing Guan Jing's question, Li Xiaolong's face darkened immediately.

   "Next question!"

  Seeing that Li Xiaolong did not answer her question, Guan Jing was dissatisfied immediately, and immediately shouted: "Mr. Li, why didn't you answer my question directly, or did you say that you have already acquiesced to my question?"

   Li Xiaolong remained expressionless and didn't say a word.

  Seeing this, the master of ceremonies hurriedly pointed to the next reporter to ask.

  Because of Guan Jing's first question, Li Xiaolong was in a bad mood for the rest of the time. Naturally, he didn't have the mood to answer the reporter's question. The whole interview process can be said to be hasty.

  Guan Jingqi's little face was flushed red, but when she saw Gu Chengxi, she suddenly felt better, because Gu Chengxi didn't get a single question just now.

   "I used to think that you are such a good reporter. It turned out that we were able to interview so many people because of the reputation of our "Cheng Bao"!"

Gu Chengxi still didn't respond to Guan Jing's cynicism. At this time, she was secretly gritting her teeth and getting angry with Chu Huan. When she asked the question just now, she repeatedly signaled to Chu Huan that she hoped that he could show his instinct as a boss and let her get the opportunity to ask questions. Chance.

   In the end, Chu Huan was looking at him with an old god, and he didn't move!

   "That bad guy!" Gu Chengxi cursed in a low voice.

   "Who are you talking about?" Guan Jing suddenly said dissatisfied.

   "I didn't mention you!" Gu Chengxi said angrily.

   Just when Guan Jing was still about to break up with Gu Chengxi, the emcee suddenly ran over. Seeing this, Guan Jing stopped entangled with Gu Chengxi, and hurriedly asked, "Is there any big news?"

  The master of ceremonies ignored Guan Jing, and walked to Gu Chengxi with an embarrassed expression: "Miss Gu, Brother Long asked me to invite you in, and said that I could give you a chance for an exclusive interview!"

  Guan Jing: "."

   Not today, the next chapter will be at twelve o’clock tomorrow morning~Thank you everyone~
