Chapter 290 is from Golden Harvest, the joint target of Warner (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

   It can be seen that Hu Yingxiang is 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: "Mr. Chu, according to the current progress of the project, in another three months, the first studio in the Republic of China will be completed."

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

   "The supporting facilities such as staff dormitories and restaurants must be kept up in time, otherwise even if the studio is completed, there will be no way to use it in time!"

   Chu Huan preached.

  When the Tseung Kwan O studio can enter the crew, it will become the headquarters 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 dormitories, restaurants, 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 warned: "But there must be no problems in quality!"

  Hu Yingxiang said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, Chairman 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 went to the company to look for you, Miss 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.

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

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

  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!"

  Chu Huan then 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 cannot participate.

   It was 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 Building, it was as expected that Li Xiaolong came to him and said this.

   "It's really disgusting. 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 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: "Yes, 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 is helpless, this matter is a little troublesome, he believes that Li Xiaolong has committed his old problem of being loyal and trusting others in this matter.

   But Zou Wenhuai's side is definitely not the case.

  The current black-and-white image is not the previous black-and-white image.

   At the beginning of this year, Fang Jianhui finally established his own distribution channels outside the city with the help of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest distribution channels outside the city.

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

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

  I have a good relationship with Shaw Brothers. Now the two sides are competing and cooperating with each other in movies, but I am not so friendly with Golden Harvest.

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

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 really successful, it is the time for Jiahe to lie dead.

  So Zou Wenhuai must not allow Chu Huan to 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.

  Seeing that Chu Huan has not spoken, Li Xiaolong thinks that Chu Huan is angry.

   suggested: "A 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 at that time, both Chu Huan and Li Xiaolong believed that a simple verbal promise must be no problem for the two of them.

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

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

  The contract stipulates that Li Xiaolong’s filming in Hollywood, black and white images have priority investment rights, of course, this investment right only accounts 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."

  Li Xiaolong sat there, and said helplessly: "This is not okay, and that is not okay. Shall we just let them make decisions like this?"

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

  Li Xiaolong froze for a moment, then 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 filming.

  Black and white images can only provide financial support, but cannot 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 now even without Luo Wei, the shit-stirring stick, Warner certainly doesn’t want to see the addition of black and white images.

  Li Xiaolong didn't know what to say when he heard what Chu Huan said.

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

   "Then what should we do? This matter can't just let them succeed?"

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

   It doesn't play any role in this matter at all.

   "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 this year's affairs would be smoother, 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 ahead of schedule.

  Now there is another incident about Li Xiaolong.

   "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 his anger 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 admitted it, Li Xiaolong became even more angry.

   "Why? Mr. Zou, I believe in you so much, and now you are going to set me up with Warner and make me lose my trust 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!"

  Obviously knew that Zou Wenhuai was playing the emotional card with him, but Li Xiaolong just followed suit.

  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, how is Chu Huan's black and white image now?"

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

  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 Hong Kong, 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 the 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 if 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.

  Closed! "

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

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

  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 Ahuan 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.

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

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

  You know about the relationship between Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers. I believe that Yifu Shao would rather watch Chu Huan’s black and white images become the number one 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, 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 there is no other way!

   This is what Li Xiaolong couldn't stand the most. 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 is the 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 breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Zou Wenhuai say this. At this time, the whole Golden Harvest knew that they couldn't do without Li Xiaolong. If they were separated from Li Xiaolong again, then the only end waiting for Golden Harvest was to go bankrupt.

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

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

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

  He Guanchang preached firmly: "Yes, it will be possible!"

  Seeing that Zou Wenhuai did not change in expression, He Guanchang could only continue to comfort him.

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

   Speaking of this, He Guanchang also preached helplessly.

   "It's just that none of us thought that Chu Huan would be so rich, and he was 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, naturally, we should 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 the day's work, Chu Huan came to Miao Kexiu's villa in Repulse Bay.

   Originally, Miao Kexiu’s literary film shot 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 participated in 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, but when it's time to comfort himself as a woman, he should comfort himself!

   When Chu Huan came to the villa, he didn't see Miao Kexiu. Only after being notified by the servant did Chu Huan know that Miao Kexiu was 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 the sound of humming and haha ​​coming from inside.

Push the door open and enter, there is a huge room with a round sports pad in the middle, Miao Kexiu is standing in the middle of a tight sportswear, 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 over, but Chu Huan waved his hand to signal that he didn't need it.

  Finding a random place, Chu Huan sat directly 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.

  Both sides, you come and I go, so lively!

In the end Miao Kexiu stopped the sparring, standing there panting with her hands on her knees, 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!"

  At this moment, Miao Kexiu discovered that Chu Huan had come.

  Happily, he took the towel from Chu Huan's hand to wipe off the sweat on his body. Seeing this situation, Li Le and Huang Dan immediately left the practice room.

   "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 smiled sweetly and shook her head: "When I first found out, I was really worried, but now I won't. I'm not filming to win awards!"

  Seeing Miao Kexiu's frankness, Chu Huan stopped getting 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: "This Aaron, I didn't expect him to take this matter so seriously!"

  He left here, and even called Miao Kexiu to apologize to him, which Chu Huan didn't 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 is really not that big for Chu Huan. Before that, 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 done his best, otherwise he wouldn't have called me in person!"

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

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

  Chu Huan laughed, and said, "It doesn't matter whether 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, who was wearing tight sportswear, showing off her good figure to the fullest, and suddenly threw Miao Kexiu onto the protective pad.

   "This is good."

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