Chapter 302 Changes in black and white images (7K large chapter, please subscribe~)

   Black and white images!

  Before staying in Jiahu Building for too long, Chu Huan is also going to come out to change the environment and see the situation of other companies.

  So after coming out of Repulse Bay Villa today, Chu Huan came directly to the black and white video. When Chu Huan came here, Xu Yi and Wu Xiaoshi were already waiting for him here.

  Compared to last year, this year's black-and-white images have gone through a year of recruiting, and they are getting stronger and stronger!

   There are Wu Ma, Zhang Che's apprentice, Liu Yong, Li Hanxiang's godson, and Bai Xiaoman, who was discovered by Li Hanxiang and co-starred with Xu Guanwen in "Sensual Dogs and Horses", and last year's Miss Hong Kong champion Di Bo La and other newcomers joined.

   There are also three new directors who are new directors this year, but Chu Huan has never heard of these three directors.

  In addition to the newcomers, the old people are also there. Except for Wu Yusen and Tian Ni.

   "Chairman, let me introduce you. This is my newly discovered actress Bai Xiaoman, a very talented actress!"

Li Hanxiang is the oldest and most capable director in the company. At the beginning, it was Chu Huan who dug up the black and white images himself, so Li Hanxiang took the lead in talking with Chu Huan at the same time. Recommended to Chu Huan.

The tall figure, the mixed-race appearance, the impressive measurements, and the relaxed feeling of no tension when facing Chu Huan, all made Chu Huan leave a deep impression on this girl at the first sight, Even surpassed Deborah next to him.

   "Huan Shao, you are so handsome!"

  As soon as Bai Xiaoman said this, Li Hanxiang next to him showed a worried expression, because Chu Huan at this time was not the Chu Huan before.

  Now Chu Huan is one of the most famous rich men in Xiangjiang, and his influence in Xiangjiang is even more frightening. If such a character is said so by a rookie actor, he doesn't know what Chu Huan will think?

  However, Chu Han just chuckled and said, "Well, the actor chosen by Director Li has really good vision, and she is an honest girl!"

  Hearing Chu Huan's joking tone, Li Hanxiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really optimistic about Bai Xiaoman.

Fang Jianhui said from the side: "Chairman, you don't know yet, Director Li's "Sexy Dogs and Horses" has not yet been released, and it has already been shortlisted for the 20th Asian Film Festival, and Bai Xiaoman has also been shortlisted for the 'Most Promising Film'." Promising Newcomer Award' selection!"

  Chu Huan basically didn't take part in the management of the black and white video, and handed everything over to Fang Jianhui.

  So Chu Huan naturally didn't care too much about the company's film participating in the film festival.

  Chu Huan always felt that the name of the girl named Bai Xiaoman in front of him was somewhat familiar. She hadn't seen it before, but she should have heard it before rebirth, but now she forgot.

  In fact, although this Bai Xiaoman only filmed "Sensual Dogs and Horses" in Xiangjiang, she is quite famous in Xiangjiang in another time and space.

In another time and space, Bai Xiaoman was also discovered by Li Hanxiang. It is rumored that Bai Xiaoman was drinking tea with his mother in a coffee shop, and happened to meet Li Hanxiang. When Li Hanxiang saw Bai Xiaoman for the first time, he was shocked. Being a celestial being, she immediately let go of her role as a great director, approached her and invited her to make a movie, and gave her the stage name "Bai Xiaoman".

Li Hanxiang loves Bai Xiaoman very much, and praised her as "Lin Dai's biggest discovery after that". Shao Yifu even praised her as a future superstar. Not only did he sign a 5-year contract with her, but he also gave her a monthly salary that was still the same as that of the Shaw Brothers actress back then the highest level.

  The fact that Shao Yifu, who has always been stingy, can offer the highest monthly salary to a new actress is enough to prove that Shao Yifu thinks highly of her.

  It's a pity that Bai Xiaoman committed suicide before the movie "Sensual Dogs and Horses" was released!

  The reasons for Bai Xiaoman’s suicide were widely discussed in the Xiangjiang film industry at the time. Some said it was caused by the persecution by the society, some said it was a fierce conflict with his mother, and some newspapers even said it was because of Li Hanxiang and Shaw Brothers!

   It is said that Bai Xiaoman was persecuted by the society, and it is also because Bai Xiaoman was a little girl before joining the film industry.

  Bai Xiaoman was born in Taiwan in 1956. She is a Chinese-American mixed race. Her mother is from Beijing and her father is from North America. When Bai Xiaoman was ten years old, her parents broke up, and her mother took her, two older sisters and one older brother to live in Hong Kong.

  Bai Xiaoman, who had no intention of going to school, wandered around the streets at the age of fifteen or sixteen. In 1973, she went to the Philippines and took over the filming of Nanhai Company's fashion action film "Detective Little Whirlwind" under the stage name "Hu Jiamei".

The heroine of the play is Meng Fei, a martial artist, and the first heroine was originally Bai Xiaoman, but because she couldn't act, the director Yang Shiqing was furious and changed her from the first heroine to the second heroine. The leading role is played by Filipino actress Weina.

   It is rumored that when she was filming "Detective Little Whirlwind", she had a heated fight with an Indonesian overseas Chinese surnamed Dai, and began to indulge in ecstasy.

  Later, the surname Dai married a new lover, while Bai Xiaoman gave up on himself, used drugs to anesthetize himself, and even committed double suicide by cutting his pulse and taking poison. The "suicide" this time was unsuccessful, and Bai Xiaoman returned to Xiangjiang afterward.

  Back to Xiangjiang, Bai Xiaoman did not live a down-to-earth life, but intensified his pursuit of leisure and pleasure, lingering in bars, nightclubs and other places, and met many bar girls, taipans, and even community figures.

  Bai Xiaoman is usually very addicted to smoking, and often takes medicine to anesthetize himself, taking psychedelic drugs. It was not until the filming of "Sensual Dogs and Horses" that he slowly quit under Li Hanxiang's persuasion.

  But it was precisely because of this experience that after she became famous, she was coerced by the society. Bai Xiaoman couldn't bear it and committed suicide!

   These things were unknown to Chu Huan, who was not familiar with the Xiangjiang film industry in this era.

  But seeing Bai Xiaoman's generous appearance at this time, it is indeed as Li Hanxiang said, very suitable for the entertainment industry.

   "With the support of Director Li, the future will definitely be bright. If you do well, the company will not treat anyone badly!"

  Chu Huan gave a few words of encouragement.

  Bai Xiaoman immediately smiled and said: "Then if I become a big star, I will invite you to eat less!"

  Chu Huan, Li Hanxiang and the others also laughed after hearing this, it must be the remarks of this little girl who is not experienced in the world!

   "Okay, I'm waiting for you to treat me to a big meal!"

  After chatting with Bai Xiaoman, Chu Huan chatted with some other new directors and artists, and then came to Fang Jianhui's office.

   Along with them were Li Hanxiang, Cheng Long, Huang Boming, Hong Jinbao, and Xu Guanwen.

  Fang Jianhui suggested to Chu Huan last year that he wanted the company to set up director department, actor department, screenwriter department and other departments.

  Chu Huan agreed at the time, and now the director of the company is Li Hanxiang.

  The person in charge of the artist department is Cheng Long.

The person in charge of the screenwriting department is Huang Boming, who joined the company during the Emerging Directors Grand Prix last year. Last year, Huang Boming cooperated with Liu Pingkui, Mecca, and Ishida to write the scripts of three films, all of which were sold well, especially with Liu Pingkui. The second part of "Happy Ghost" that they collaborated with even set a box office of 5 million Hong Kong dollars.

  As for Hong Jinbao, Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanwen have now established their own satellite companies with the support of black and white images.

Originally, Xu Guanwen was the first to establish Xu's Films, and was going to shoot his first film "Ghost and Horse Twin Stars". As a result, Li Hanxiang wanted to shoot "Sensual Dog and Horse". In order to repay Li Hanxiang's kindness, Xu Guanwen suspended "Ghost and Horse". The filming task of "Shuangxing Ma" was turned into the filming of "Sensual Dogs and Horses".

  But now his "Ghost Horse Twin Stars" has started, if not for Chu Huan's black and white video today, Xu Guanwen would already be on the set.

  As the so-called brothers fight tigers, father and son fight in battle. Xu Guanwen is the director and screenwriter of the first film, and he arranged all three of his younger brothers into this film.

   This is also the first collaboration between the four Xu brothers in a strict sense.

  The three brothers Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanying, and Xu Guanjie are in front of the stage, and Xu Guanwu is behind the scenes!

  The same is true for Hong Jinbao. With the support of black and white images, he established Shuangbao Films!

  But he didn’t shoot his first movie, but joined Wuma’s first black-and-white movie “Boxing King of Seven Provinces”. He also starred in this movie with Li Hanxiang’s godson Liu Yong.

  Xu Guanwen and Hong Jinbao respectively reported to Chu Huan the progress of their new movie, and at the same time proposed to Chu Huan that they hoped to get the company's support in publicity when the movie was released.

   Their film company is only responsible for the production.

  Propaganda and distribution all rely on the support of black and white images.

   Chu Huan and Fang Jianhui have already discussed this matter, and now they have no opinion on Chu Huan's side.

  The two left Chu Huan's office happily. One was to shoot his own movie, and the other was to polish the script.

  After the two left, Chu Huan began to preach to Jianhui.

   "The office building over the Tseung Kwan O studio, the artist apartment, and the studio in the Republic of China will be completed in June, and the company can move there by then!"

  The black-and-white film office is rented. Although I have been here for a long time, it is not as comfortable as my own place. Moreover, after moving to the Tseung Kwan O studio, it is convenient to shoot.

  In addition, the artist apartment will also be moved there.

  Fang Jianhui said happily: "Great, from now on we will be no different from Shaw Brothers!"

  Li Hanxiang smiled and said: "It's not that there is no difference with Shaw Brothers, but it is even more brilliant than Shaw Brothers!"

  Cheng Long and Huang Boming also smiled.

  The better the company, the better they grow!

   "By the way, chairman, when will the costume area of ​​our studio be completed?" Li Hanxiang was more concerned about the construction of the studio in the costume area.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "After the Minguo district is finished, the costume district will start construction. I talked to Hu Yingxiang before, and the costume district will be finished in June next year, but before that, Director Li, you have to go over often to advise them Just do it!"

  In the Xiangjiang film industry, no one can compare with Li Hanxiang in the study of ancient China, including the architecture at that time, so Li Hanxiang has now been hired by Hu Yingxiang as a special consultant for their construction company.

  Li Hanxiang said with a smile: "Don't worry, the chairman, I will definitely bring the most authentic costume area to the Tseung Kwan O studio!"

  Chu Huan nodded and smiled, "Of course I'm relieved."

  Huang Boming brought up something that made him terrified.

   "Chairman, the company's editors have been telling me that they hope to increase some labor. I know that the company's screenwriters have already taken more labor than other film company screenwriters, but with."

   Speaking of this, Huang Boming glanced at Li Hanxiang and Cheng Long worriedly, and finally couldn't help but preach.

   "But compared with actors and directors, it is still a lot worse. It is said that the script is the foundation of a movie, so..."

  Huang Boming vaguely told Chu Huan the thoughts of the whole screenwriting department intermittently.

  Chu Huan was noncommittal, and instead of answering Huang Boming's question immediately, he glanced at Fang Jianhui.

Fang Jianhui immediately told Chu Huan about the situation of the screenwriting department. At first, Chu Huan only established a pyramid structure promotion system for the directors of black and white images, but not for the screenwriters. Although Fang Jianhui didn't say it clearly, the problem should be here. .

  After thinking for a while, Chu Huan said to Fang Jianhui: "Refer to the remuneration of screenwriters from other film companies in Xiangjiang, and then add the remuneration of screenwriters to the pyramid promotion structure!"

  Hearing what Chu Huan said, Huang Boming immediately showed a smile on his face, and quickly thanked: "Thank you, chairman, and I thank the chairman on behalf of all the screenwriters in the company!"

Chu Huan waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have said since the company was founded that the company will not treat anyone who makes money for the company badly. Screenwriters are indeed very important to a film company. As long as you work hard Do it, the company will definitely not let you suffer!"

  In another time and space, why did New Art City go bankrupt in its glory days? On a larger scale, it was caused by the uneven distribution of interests among Huang Boming, Mecca, and Ishida.

  But when did the root cause of this uneven distribution of benefits start?

   It's not just that their shareholding ratios are different.

   At the same time, there are hidden dangers brought about by different division of labor.

  At that time, in New Art City, Huang Boming was in charge of writing, Mecca was in charge of directing, and Ishida was in charge of acting!

   But there is a rule in New Art City. Although the three of them can finally get the box office income according to their personal shareholding ratio, they are responsible for writing, directing, and acting at the same time, and they also have different salary income.

   Among them, the one in charge of writing naturally got the least salary. According to Huang Boming, Mecca also spoke for him, and even shared part of his director's salary with Huang Boming.

  Although this was an act of goodwill, it also hurt Huang Boming's self-esteem and laid the groundwork for the future disintegration of New Art City.

  Chu Huan naturally did not satisfy the company's screenwriters because of Huang Boming's request. It was Chu Huan himself who understood that screenwriting is indeed very important.

  The reason why South Korean films can come from behind and surpass Xiangjiang, and even surpass domestic films, is actually because South Korea implements the screenwriter system, and screenwriters have a very high status in the South Korean film industry.

   This has provided South Korea with a steady stream of excellent movies.

   And domestic?

In the era when Chu Huan was reborn, all capital was always looking at data. At that time, the capital of the domestic film and television industry relied on the Internet to make a fortune, so they crazily trusted the so-called data. Just one project.

  At that time, whenever there was a bad movie, someone would ask why everyone knew that the script was so important, but they didn't have the capital to pay attention to the script.

But these people who asked questions, have they thought about another question, when there are popular film and television works on the big and small screens, has anyone ever praised from the bottom of their hearts: the screenwriter of this show is really good ?

  At that time, they would say that the director of this show really dared to shoot, and the actors really knew how to act. When did they say that the screenwriter of this show was really good?

  So, many people often say that screenwriting is important, but in fact it is just talking!

   If you don’t believe me, if you have such a person by your side, you can ask, who are the best screenwriters in China?

   Without checking the Internet, if he can name three, it is considered that he has really thought about this problem!

Chu Huan is not a master of the rebirth of Hong Kong entertainment, so he does not have so many movie scripts to come up with. If he wants to keep black and white images in the leading position in the next few decades, he must sacrifice part of his own interests, and then use the highest level of the entire Hong Kong The remuneration will attract more excellent screenwriters to join in.

   Only in this way, after Chu Huan hoarded well-known directors and actors, can he maximize the influence of these people!

   "It's up to you to explain this to the company's screenwriter!" Chu Huan said to Fang Jianhui.

   The question was raised by Huang Boming, but now Chu Huan asked Fang Jianhui to announce the matter.

   The meaning is self-evident.

  If the credit for this matter is put on Huang Boming's head, then Huang Boming's status in the screenwriting department will naturally rise. Chu Huan does not allow the company to have an existence that can challenge Fang Jianhui's authority in a certain department!

  Fang Jianhui nodded and said, "Okay!"

  At this time, Huang Boming didn't think so much, it should be related to his ambition not growing up yet!

   But ambition is not important, the current Xiangjiang is not Xiangjiang in another time and space. Even if Huang Baiming, Maijia, and Ishida want to establish a new art city, they can only grow under the wings of black and white images.

  Compared to Huang Boming's proposal to increase the pay for the screenwriter of the black and white video, Cheng Long has no consideration in this regard.

   After all, up to now, the company's artist remuneration is already the highest in Hong Kong.

   "I heard that you also want to be a director now?"

  Chu Huan looked at Cheng Long with a smile on his face.

  If it is said that Huang Boming's ambition has not yet grown up because of his current status, then at this time Cheng Long already has his own ambition because of his early fame.

  Before this, Cheng Long's benchmark had always been his big brother Hong Jinbao.

   In Cheng Long’s heart, Hung Jin Bao is the filmmaker he admires the most. This was what Cheng Long himself said in an interview with ATV in another time and space.

  In his opinion, Hong Jinbao can direct, write, act, and can also be a martial arts instructor, and he can even do everything on the set in every detail.

  Now Jinbao Hung is beginning to enjoy such benefits, so with the support of black and white images, he established his own Shuangbao Films.

  But Cheng Long didn't follow Hong Jinbao through Shuangbao Films like Hong Jinbao's other juniors.

   Instead, he chose to stay in black and white images, thinking that one day he could become a person like Hong Jinbao.

  So at this time, Cheng Long also tried to write a script and become a director!

  Hearing that Chu Huan was actually concerned about his own affairs, Cheng Long immediately showed a simple and honest smile and preached.

   "Yes, the script has been handed over to the screenwriting department and the planning department, and they are all very satisfied with the script!"

  Fang Jianhui added: "Aaron's movie is a movie that took place during the Republic of China"

   It sounds a bit similar to Cheng Long's "Junior and Brother", but it's only a bit similar, after all, Chu Huan has never seen this movie.

   But it doesn't matter, since Hong Jinbao was able to write "The Monk of Three Virtues and the Six of Chongmi" in advance, there is nothing to be curious about Cheng Long's writing "The Junior Brother Out of the Horse" in advance.

   "You're trying to steal the job of Ah Ming and his screenwriting department!"

  Chu Huan was joking with Cheng Long.

   If Cheng Long can really gain popularity in Xiangjiang in advance, Chu Huan will still be very happy.

  A female writer once said: You have to be famous as early as possible.

   For this sentence, Chu Huan agrees very much. The earlier he becomes famous, the earlier he can make more money for the company.

  Cheng Long’s films are the same as Li Xiaolong’s films, they are both films that can go out of Asia and earn a lot of money in mainstream European and American markets.

  After the exchange with Li Hanxiang and the three of them was over, the three of them also left Chu Huan's office, and at this time only Chu Huan and Fang Jianhui were left in the office.

   Naturally, he spoke more casually.

   "Brother Huan, when will you pay back the money?"

  Like Luo Jichang and Lu Qi, Fang Jianhui also started chasing Chu Huan for money.

   After all, Chu Huan took the most money from the black and white video before.

   "Believe it or not, if you mention money to me again, I'll kick you out!?"

  Chu Huan preached angrily.

  Fang Jianhui also smiled helplessly and said: "Brother Huan, I don't want to either. The money was originally intended to build our own movie theaters in Southeast Asia!"

  Although Golden Harvest was the one who learned the system of black-and-white images, it was the early Shaw Brothers who learned the development planning.

Although black and white images now have their own distribution channels outside the city, they still belong to others. If black and white images have their own theaters in Southeast Asia, the profits will increase by at least 20%, so black and white images have always wanted to be in the same market as Shaw Brothers. Southeast Asia has established its own theater chain.

  The 60 million Hong Kong dollars that Chu Huan took before was the start-up capital of black and white video.

  Chu Huan said: "This matter is postponed, let's do it next year, and I will use the money for this year's black and white images!"

  Fang Jianhui was stunned, and then wailed: "Do you still need it?"

  Chu Huan smiled and nodded, "That's right!"

  Brothers Audiovisual's money is not enough to cover the final payment of the Golden Gate Building, and the remaining money has to be paid by Black and White Video!

   "Okay!" Although Fang Jianhui's performance was very exaggerated, he also understood that since Chu Huan was going to use the company's money, there must be something very important, so he must not compromise in execution!

   "Don't worry, next year I will transfer all the money back at once, and then you can happily prepare to build your own cinema in Southeast Asia!"

  Chu Huan comforted Fang Jianhui.

  Currently, the companies under Chu Huan’s name are all in the stage of rapid development, such as Qingjin Clothing under Jiahu Textile, Huaye City under Huhua Real Estate, Hang Lung Real Estate repaying money and recuperating, and fantasy comic youth toys.

   This year can be said to be the time for these companies under Chu Huan to lay their foundations, so they all need money, and naturally there is not much liquidity.

   But next year, the situation will improve. First of all, Spielberg's "Jaws" will be released, and the two companies "Fantasy Comics" and Youth Toys will also bring huge benefits.

  Even if it is a black and white video, this year there is Xu Guanwen's "Ghost and Horse Twin Stars", and Cheng Long's movie is similar to "Junior and Brother", which are all blockbuster movies.

   It can be said that next year's Chu Huan will once again hold a huge amount of cash.

  However, there is a big event waiting for Chu Huan next year. If he can complete that big event, Chu Huan will no longer be one of the wealthiest people in Xiangjiang Chinese businessmen in the hearts of Xiangjiang people, but the only one!

   "By the way, Brother Huan, you will be graduating in two months. I heard that the school is going to let you speak as a student representative. Have you thought about what to say?"

   "What, are you planning to go back even if you're on leave of school?" Chu Huan joked with Fang Jianhui.

  In order to better manage black and white images, Fang Jianhui took a leave of absence at the University of Hong Kong.

  Fang Jianhui smiled and said: "If you go up to speak, I will definitely go back to participate!"

  Chu Huan shook his head and said with a smile: "I haven't decided whether to agree or not. There is nothing to say about this kind of thing!"

  Chu Huan hardly appeared in front of the media now, let alone gave a speech at the school graduation ceremony.

  Fang Jianhui said: "I'm afraid this matter is out of your control. Chen Sheng has already called me and asked me to persuade you!"

  Chu Huan said nonchalantly: "Let's talk about it later, it's too early to talk about it now."

  Fang Jianhui said: "Okay!"

  After the two chatted for a few words, Chu Huan walked out of the office and said to Yang Wei: "Go to the artist's apartment!"

  When Chu Huan came to the black and white video, Miao Kexiu, Lin Qingxia, and Zhao Yazhi were not in the company. Both Miao Kexiu and Zhao Yazhi were shooting new movies, and Lin Qingxia was resting in the apartment.

  Chu Huan had already told Lin Qingxia before coming, she didn't need to come here!

   When I finish my work in the company, I will go to her.

  But when the car just started, the former Bai Xiaoman ran over at this time and stopped in front of the car.

   Seeing the car stop, Bai Xiaoman walked to the rear window with a smile on his face indifferently.

   "Young Master Huan, can you take a ride? I want to go back to the artist's apartment, but I can't get a ride!"

  After being signed by Black and White Video, Bai Xiaoman also moved into Black and White Video's artist apartment.

  Chu Huan opened the car door.

  Bai Xiaoman sat in easily, "Thank you, Young Master Huan!"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "The company is not far from the artist's apartment!"

  Bai Xiaoman smiled proudly: "If you can take a few steps less, just take a few steps less!"

  Chu Huan smiled indifferently, and motioned Yang Wei to drive.

  Bai Xiaoman didn't have the same thoughts as Tianni before, she just wanted to hitch a ride, so in the car, she chatted with Chu Huan casually.

   After arriving at the artist's apartment, he got out of the car gracefully, "Thank you, Young Master Huan!"

   Then he walked in bouncingly!

   It’s the beginning of the month, please ask for a guaranteed monthly pass, thank you~~The next chapter will be tomorrow at 12 o’clock in the morning~~
