  Tseung Kwan O studio.

  Chu Huan came here this time for two things. The first thing is to visit Miao Kexiu's new movie, which is written and directed by Hong Jinbao.

Otherwise, Jinbao Hong is very energetic, 365 days a year, 300 days Hong Jinbao is on the set, either busy with his own film company's films, or starring in or starring in black and white films directed by other film directors, Occasionally, I would come over to act as a director for Cheng Long's films.

  Just some time ago, Hong Jinbao felt that the current movie market is full of action movies with male characters, and it has been a long time since there has been an action movie with a female protagonist.

  So inspired, he wrote a costume Kung Fu movie starring women that Chu Huan had never heard of.

  Because of the appearance of Chu Huan, the movies in this world have already been messed up. Movies such as "Monk Sande and Chongmi Liu", "Junior and Brother", "A Dream of Red Mansions" all appeared in another time and space ahead of time.

   At the same time, a batch of movies that I have never heard of appeared, but the box office was quite good.

   Regarding this, Chu Huan can only say that if you still know how to play, you don't care too much.

In Xiangjiang at this time, as Zheng Peipei has not yet paid, only Miao Kexiu is a capable actress, and coupled with the relationship between Chu Huan and Miao Kexiu, Hong Jinbao's movies with female protagonists are naturally Miao Kexiu. The leading role is gone.

However, Miao Kexiu has not acted in an action movie for a long time, and because of the injury in the last movie "Dragon and Tiger Fight", Chu Huan was also a little worried. Originally, he wanted to tell Miao Kexiu, but if it didn't work, he would stop filming. Forget it, but Miao Kexiu felt that staying at home and being a canary would be very boring, so after discussing with Chu Huan, she decided to shoot this movie.

   "So this is where the Xiangjiang movie was filmed?"

  As the newly promoted full-time secretary of Chu Huan, Wu Shuhan is naturally by Chu Huan's side. This is her first time on the set, so she is full of curiosity about everything here.

   "Have you seen Xiang Jiang's movie?"

  Chu Huan and Wu Shuhan walked side by side on the set, and walked towards the costume area. After hearing Wu Shuhan's exclamation, Chu Huan asked her with a smile.

Wu Shuhan nodded and said, "I've seen some, including Li Xiaolong's "Big Brother Tangshan", "Fist of Fury", "The Way of the Dragon", and Zheng Peipei's "The Drunk Man". By the way, there is also Miss Lin. Ms. Zhao's "Happy Ghost" is very funny!"

  Chu Huan laughed, and said: "So, you haven't seen a movie in a theater?"

  These Wu Shuhan said are all movies that have been drawn for a long time. Before the advent of VCRs, it was basically impossible for ordinary people to see them.

  When the video recorder came out, Brothers Audiovisual signed a contract with Shaw Brothers and Black and White Video, and bought the copyright of the film video tapes of the two film companies.

  Of course, it also includes the film videotape copyrights of Golden Harvest and other Hong Kong film companies that have been acquired by Black and White Video.

  Following the popularity of video recorders, and the popularity of the movie video tape retail and rental market, Shao Yifu was really distressed for a while, and even found Chu Huan's idea of ​​blocking the brothers' audio and video.

Chu Huan naturally couldn't agree, but Chu Huan certainly didn't mention the relationship between himself and Brother Video, but said that Brother Video is now the largest retailer in the movie and video tape market in Xiangjiang, and even in the world. Losing them means that even if the videotape copyright of their film company is in their own hands, there is no place to sell it.

   Now that I have suffered a loss and been fooled, I can only admit it, and wait until the copyright of my company's film and video tapes is not sold in the future.

  Shao Yifu had no choice but to agree to Chu Huan's suggestion in the end.

  In fact, film companies around the world basically use this strategy. Their film and video copyrights are sold without saying anything, but they need to rely on the sales and rental channels of Brother Audio and Video to make them profitable.

  So the current cooperation strategy between Brother Audiovisual and major film companies around the world is that Brother Audiovisual will be responsible for selling and leasing their movie videos, and everyone will share 50/50 of the profits.

   But in fact, the world’s largest video tape production market is basically monopolized by Kyushu, so plus the production profits, Kyushu and the brothers can get a profit of 50 Hong Kong dollars on a video tape.

  And those film companies can only make a profit of 30 Hong Kong dollars per video tape!

  As for some other small video tape manufacturers, they have to pay Kyushu a patent fee of 0.1 US dollars when they do not produce a video tape!

   It can be said that just one video tape market has already made Kyushu a lot of money!

  Wu Shuhan nodded, and said: "I haven't seen it in the cinema, my sister and the others are very busy with work, and I don't want to bother them all the time!"

  Chu Huan smiled after listening, and said without thinking too much: "If you have time, please go to the cinema to watch a movie!"

  Wu Shuhan blushed, unable to refuse, and said, "Thank you boss."

   The two chatted and came to the costume area of ​​the Tseung Kwan O studio. Seeing the pavilions and pavilions here, Wu Shuhan was surprised again.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "The land here in Xiangjiang is still too expensive. If we can build a studio in our hometown in the future, it will definitely be more magnificent than here."

  Wu Shuhan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "How is this possible? In my hometown, this is called capitalism, and it is absolutely not allowed!"

   Chu Huan was in a daze for a while!

   And this kind of trance comes from the memory of Chu Huan in another time and space. Although there are various problems in the domestic economic development in later generations, compared with foreign countries, it is simply much better.

   But sometimes, some things are still easy to be discussed by others.

  That is for economic development, can some existing systems really be abandoned?

  For example, in the 1980s and 1990s, when the domestic economy was the most barbarous, in order to attract foreign investment and Hong Kong investment, many people bent down again the backs that their predecessors had so hard to straighten with millet and rifles.

   Is this really good?

After thinking for a while, Chu Huan shook his head. This proposition is too big. Even the current Chu Huan and the future Chu Huan are not something he can do. He can only do his most important things with his limited ability. Just contribute.

  At this time, Chu Huan's business is actually concentrated in light industry. If there is an opportunity in the future, Chu Huan will develop his business territory to heavy industry.

   Other high-tech developments must also be worked hard, such as the chip problem that has frustrated the people of the country for several years, and even Chu Huan did not solve it when he was reborn!

   It's just too early to say these things, so Chu Huan has never implemented them.

   But if you want to make chips, there is a company that you can't get around, and that is the lithography machine of ASML in the Netherlands.

  This company is a subsidiary of Philips in the Netherlands. If you have the opportunity, you may try to win it. Even if you can’t win it, you have to recruit people and patented technology.

  However, ASML has not yet developed at this time, and there is no need to worry too much. The development of the entire lithography machine also has its own history. At least at this stage, the world's largest lithography machine manufacturer is not this company.

   "Boss, boss?"

  Seeing that Chu Huan suddenly stopped talking, Wu Shuhan called out to Chu Huan worriedly.

   "Ah, it's okay, I just remembered what you said, don't worry, as I said before, if you can meet your friends, we will definitely be able to go back!"

   Having said this, Chu Huan re-firmed his tone, "I will definitely be able to go back!"

  Wu Shuhan looked at Chu Huan, a little curious. Even though his uncle had been telling them that he would have a chance to go back to his hometown in the future, he had never been so firm as Chu Huan, as if everything was certain.

  While Wu Shuhan was still thinking about these things, a pleasant voice came from the front.

   "Brother Huan?"

  Wu Shuhan looked up and found that they were now in a pavilion-like courtyard. A girl in a white dress in ancient costume walked over happily.

  Wu Shuhan watched "Fist of Fury" and recognized this girl in ancient costume as Miao Kexiu, one of Chu Huan's confidante.

Seeing Miao Kexiu approaching Chu Huan affectionately and being held by Chu Huan in full view, Wu Shuhan stepped aside. Although he already knew about the relationship between the two of them, there were more than a dozen people present at the scene. Wu Shuhan still felt that Chu Huan and Miao Kexiu were too bold.

  Thinking of what his elder sister said to him, Wu Shuhan couldn't help laughing in his heart. Although he respects what Chu Huan is doing now, it is impossible for him to fall in love with Chu Huan like other girls.

   "Director Hong, did you not disturb your filming this time?"

  Chu Huan smiled and preached to Hong Jinbao who was walking towards him.

  Hong Jinbao had already known from Miao Kexiu that Chu Huan would come to visit the set today, and said with a smile: "Of course not, Mr. Huan, you can come, our crew is too happy to be happy!"

  Chu Huan laughed and said, "I didn't come here empty-handed!"

   After Chu Huan finished speaking, Qin Peng and others who had been following Chu Huan brought Chu Huan to buy food and put it on the table. The whole crew thanked Chu Huan.

  Wu Shuhan was also a little curious watching from the sidelines. Just before Chu Huan came, when she asked herself to buy some egg tarts, she was very curious why she had to bring food when she came to visit the crew of her company.

  Xu Yi explained to her at the time that this is the habit of Xiangjiang film and TV drama crews.

   As for why he has such a habit, Xu Yi himself does not understand.

  Because of Chu Huan's arrival, the filming of the crew will naturally be temporarily stopped.

   "How about it, will you feel a little tired doing Kung Fu movies again?"

  Chu Huan asked Miao Kexiu.

  Miao Kexiu shook her head with a smile, and said, "No, it's just that I haven't played Wia for a long time, and I still feel a little uncomfortable."

   Diaoweiya is a technology that existed in China during the Republic of China. It is rumored that it was earlier in North America, but I don’t know if it is true or not. However, this technology was improved by Liu Jialiang in Xiangjiang and carried forward to the point that it is true.

Later, when my hometown filmed "Journey to the West", some filmmakers came to Xiangjiang to study. As a result, the film companies here in Xiangjiang regarded the Diaowei technology as a baby, which led to the crew of "Journey to the West" being Come with joy, return with disappointment!

   You have to figure it out by yourself.

  When thinking about this matter, Chu Huan felt that he could write it down and use it as a bridge to communicate with his hometown in the future.

   "Director Hong, Ah Xiu hasn't made a Kung Fu movie for a long time. If you hurt her, don't blame me for finding some big guys to give you something!"

  Chu Huan shouted loudly to Hong Jinbao who was eating egg tarts.

  Miao Kexiu blushed, and lightly beat Chu Huan, but there was a lot of pride in her eyes.

   Hong Jinbao also knew that Chu Huan was joking with him, and said with a smile: "Young Master Huan, don't worry, Miss Miao is our key protected animal here, whoever gets hurt can't let her get hurt!"

  Miao Kexiu hurriedly said: "Director Hong, don't talk nonsense, I'm fine. If this gets out, people won't be able to say that I'm playing big cards?"

   No one would believe that Miao Kexiu was playing big names. After all, Miao Kexiu never came late and left early relying on Chu Huan's relationship in the crew. This can't be filmed, and that can't be filmed.

   Miao Kexiu doesn’t even have an assistant besides the two female bodyguards all year round. In fact, it’s not popular for artists in Xiangjiang to bring assistants at this time.

  In addition to Miao Kexiu, Hong Jinbao and the members of the Hong Family Class around Hong Jinbao, Chu Huan also found a familiar face.

  Lin Fengjiao!

   Chu Huan knew that Lin Fengjiao had joined the black and white video.

  People say that the Hong Kong film and television industry in the 1970s and 1980s was dark, but in fact, the film and television industry in Taiwan and Island was even darker during this period.

  Let’s put it this way, everyone knows how dark the film and television industry in South Korea is in later generations. The Taiwan and Island film and television industry in this period is only darker than the South Korean film and television industry in that period!

  It is impossible for an actress like Lin Fengjiao to enjoy star treatment in Taiwan.

  That's why in another time and space, Lin Fengjiao stopped working after marrying Cheng Long without hesitation, and didn't care about Cheng Long's flowers and plants outside.

  Only after people have experienced darkness, will they understand how important it is to hold the light in their own hands.

And in this time and space, Cheng Long met Lin Fengjiao in advance, and he proposed to her the black and white image, hoping that she could stay in Xiangjiang, stay in the black and white image, and the black and white image would help her solve the contract problem of Taiwan Island, and then Lin Fengjiao happily Added black and white images.

   As for the relationship between him and Cheng Long now, Chu Huan didn't ask any gossip, anyway, it has nothing to do with him, so why ask these questions!

  After chatting with everyone for a while, Chu Huan got up and was about to leave, and told Miao Kexiu that he would go to her place at night.

  After walking out of the crew, Chu Huan went to the main building of the set.

   This is the second thing Chu Huan came to the Tseung Kwan O studio. I asked Fang Jianhui how his preparations for the Hong Kong Film Awards were going.

  Originally, Fang Jianhui needed to go to Jiahu Building to report this matter to Chu Huan, but since Chu Huan was coming to visit Miao Kexiu, he asked about this matter by the way.

   Soon, Chu Huan brought Wu Shuhan to Fang Jianhui's office, and Fang Jianhui was also waiting for Chu Huan early.

   "Happy Chairman!"

  Fang Jianhui originally wanted to call Brother Chu Huanhuan, but when he saw Wu Shuhan, he abruptly changed it to the chairman.

  Brother Huan, Fang Jianhui would only call Chu Huan that way when there were no outsiders.

   "This is Wu Shuhan, my new full-time secretary, responsible for helping Xu Yi deal with things around me."

  Chu Huan introduced Wu Shuhan to Fang Jianhui, and then told Wu Shuhan who Fang Jianhui was.

  Fang Jianhui heard that Wu Shuhan turned out to be Chu Huan's full-time secretary, and immediately said with a smile: "Secretary Wu, if the chairman has anything to do in the future, you should tell me as soon as possible!"

Wu Shuhan didn't know about the relationship between Fang Jianhui and Chu Huan. Hearing what Fang Jianhui said now, he could only reply in a formulaic way: "What the boss told Mr. Fang to do, I will definitely tell Mr. Fang as soon as possible. If Mr. Fang If I have something to ask the boss, I will definitely tell the boss as soon as possible."

  Chu Huan sat on the sofa and said with a smile: "Don't be so polite with him. Fang Jianhui and I used to be college classmates and tablemates. He was joking with you just now."

  Hearing Chu Huan talk about the university, the envy in Wu Shuhan's eyes was fleeting.

   "Okay, stop talking nonsense, and tell me how your preparations for the Academy Awards are going?" Chu Huan didn't notice Wu Shuhan's expression, and directly talked to Fang Jianhui.

Fang Jianhui replied: "Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. I have already held meetings with Shao Yifu of Shaw Brothers and the bosses of other film companies. Everyone is also very interested in the establishment of a Xiangjiang film award. I think this can better improve Xiangjiang's film market.

  However, at the beginning, everyone was still somewhat resistant. "

  Chu Huan did not wait for Fang Jianhui to finish, and added: "The other party thinks that our black-and-white video is going to make a speech?"

  Fang Jianhui nodded, and said: "It's not their fault that they think so. After all, according to the current status of black and white images in the Hong Kong film industry, and we took the initiative to raise this matter, they will definitely think so.

However, I have already explained to them that we are only the initiators of this award, and we will not participate in the operation of the subsequent Golden Statue Awards. Instead, we will delegate all rights to the Golden Statue Awards Committee, and we will not even be responsible for the subsequent funds. The video will not be subsidized, but the rebroadcast fee and advertisements of the Academy Awards are responsible for their own profits and losses! "

  Chu Huan nodded after listening, indicating that there was nothing wrong with doing so.

  Fang Jianhui said in a somewhat incomprehensible way: "Chairman, since this is the case, it seems that there is no benefit for us. Why do you still do such a thankless thing?"

Originally, when Chu Huan discussed with Fang Jianhui about getting a film award, Fang Jianhui was very happy. What he thought was that if the influence of this award was really achieved, then their black and white images could completely rely on the award. Influencers market their own company's films.

   Now that Chu Huan actually gave up all his rights and even paid for the construction out of his own pocket, Fang Jianhui was a little confused.

   It's not just that Fang Jianhui didn't know Chu Huan's pulse, even Wu Shuhan, who had already known about it from Xu Yi, was also not sure about the pulse.

  Because the preparation for the Hong Kong Film Awards is already a public matter, Wu Shuhan specifically asked Wu Shuqing about this matter, but Wu Shuqing couldn't figure it out either.

  Could it be that Chu Huan really wanted to fight for his woman, and then got such a movie award?

   Now there is only one explanation!

Chu Huan said with a smile: "The benefits are great. First of all, our initial goal is not to make the Hong Kong Film Awards a film award for the Hong Kong film industry to entertain itself, but to prepare it. The most influential film awards in Asia.

Although we will not overly participate in the internal selection of the Film Awards, but according to the current scale of black and white images, a large part of the award-winning films in the future will definitely come from black and white images. sales in these places. "

This matter can refer to the Academy Awards. The selection of the Academy Awards has never been fair. When the Oscar Awards began, almost all the judges of the Academy Awards will receive the participating films. A small gift from the movie company.

  It’s like electing a president in North America. Whoever spends more money is most likely to become president.

  Becoming the president can make him the most powerful person in the world, and also allow him to reap some benefits that ordinary people can't see.

  Actors can get honors when they win Oscars, but what about film companies?

  The video tape market of their movie will immediately set off a small upsurge, and the benefits they will reap far exceed their investment.

   What Chu Huan wants to do is this, so that the Xiangjiang Film Awards will have a very high reputation in the whole of Asia. In this case, it can drive the videotape market of Xiangjiang Films.

  This can not only promote the interests of black and white images, but also provide more opportunities for some films of Xiangjiang to make money.

   While making money by himself, Chu Huan can still think of Xiangjiang's overall film market, and Chu Huan himself feels that he is great.

   "In addition, there is another advantage, don't forget, I am not only a company of black and white media, but also a Qingjin clothing."

Chu Huan continued to explain to Fang Jianhui: "The level of Qingjin clothing has always wanted to gain a firm foothold in the high-end market, but in order to gain a firm foothold in the high-end fashion industry, in addition to needing time to accumulate background, it also needs high-level exposure. .

  The Golden Statue Awards are the best exposure stage. When the stars from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan appear on the red carpet of the Golden Statue Awards wearing level costumes, this is the best publicity! "

   It is certain to vent your anger for Miao Kexiu, but if you can increase the interests of the company under your name while venting your anger, isn't that the best of both worlds?

  Fang Jianhui and Wu Shuhan now fully understood what Chu Huan meant.

Fang Jianhui said in admiration: "No wonder you asked me to insist on the right to sponsor the costumes of the Hong Kong Film Awards, and to make the organizing committee of the Hong Kong Film Awards stipulate that all participating artists must wear designated clothing brands. !"

Chu Huan showed a satisfied smile. This is actually what Chu Huan learned from the CBA of later generations. When Chu Huan heard the news, he also complained about the rules of the CBA, but now it does not hinder Chu Huan at all. The CBA set can be done now.

   "By the way, what's the attitude of those film critics now?"

   Chu Huan asked with a smile.

  The Hong Kong Film Awards were held, and those film critics were not invited to be judges. At the same time, in order to disgust those people, Fang Jianhui also deliberately imitated himself, and asked some trainee cartoonists from Fantasy Comic Club to create a four-frame comic!

  Chu Huan felt that those film critics would definitely not let it go!

Hearing Chu Huan say this, Fang Jianhui suddenly laughed, and said: "I was planning to fight them for 300 rounds, but I didn't expect a scandal to emerge first among them. Now those people are too busy to take care of themselves. There is no time to trouble us!"

  Chu Huan showed an interested expression after hearing this, and asked, "What scandal?"

Fang Jianhui said with a smile: "Among them, there was a director named Peter Li who used to be a director of Shaw Brothers. After directing a blockbuster film, Yifu Shao was kicked out. Then he became a film critic and started All the films that criticize Xiangjiang can be regarded as the leaders of those people!"

  Hearing Fang Jianhui suddenly mention Li Peter, Chu Huan glanced at Wu Shuhan, and sure enough, Wu Shuhan also secretly showed an expression of interest, but after seeing Chu Huan's expression, his face turned slightly red.

  Fang Jianhui didn't notice this either, and continued to preach.

"As a result, just two days ago, this Peter Li offended some kind of god. He was drugged, found a fat woman, and gave a live performance. Many reporters even filmed the scene. .

   Then this person became famous. Some time ago, I criticized Fengyue movies as vulgar, but I ended up playing an even more vulgar one. The most lively news recently on the entertainment version is his business.

  "True Pao" later exposed his identity even more, and as a result, the entire film critic circle's reputation was stink in Xiangjiang, and now no one wants to watch them comment on movies! "

  After hearing this, Chu Huan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, those short mules seemed to be smart people!

  They didn't know the relationship between Wu Shuhan and themselves, but according to their understanding, offending Wu Shuhan must be offending themselves.

Then they must want to atone for their crimes, but they must also understand that according to their situation, they will not be able to see themselves, so they made a big news about Li Peter, which is much bigger than the news that Li Peter lost his arms and legs. up.

   Definitely go to the newspaper, then you can read it yourself.

After Chu Huan figured it out, he looked at Wu Shuhan again. It was obvious that Wu Shuhan had also thought of this, and the expression on his face became more complicated. Some were ashamed to hear such things, and some were ashamed to hear that his enemy had ended up like this. happy.

  Chu Huan didn't tell Fang Jianhui about this matter. Since he had nothing to do with him, Chu Huan took Wu Shuhan and left.

   Not far from the main building, when I came to the restaurant, I saw Liu Pingkui chatting passionately with an actress in black and white.

  Liu Pingkui naturally saw Chu Huan too.

   Immediately, he walked out of the restaurant in a panic, and said to Chu Huan with a smile: "Brother Huan, why do you have time to come to the company today?"

  Chu Huan smiled and said, "Didn't it delay you from picking up girls?"

   "Don't delay, we have already made an appointment!" Liu Pingkui said proudly.

   "Drink more wolfberries, otherwise your body will not work well in a few years!" Chu Huan joked.

   Liu Pingkui immediately laughed and said, "I've been eating it for a long time!"

  Chu Huan: "."

   "By the way, shouldn't you be filming "Happy Ghost 3" now? Why do you have time to pick up girls?" Chu Huan thought of what Liu Pingkui said when he went to eat at home.

   Liu Pingkui said helplessly: "Don't mention it, Zhong Chuhong and his father are hospitalized, and Zhong Chuhong is taking care of her in the hospital. Even if she came, she was not in the mood to shoot, so I let her rest for a day!"

  Chu Huan thought of Zhong Chuhong when he grew up, and asked, "Which hospital?"

   Finished the code after four o’clock, and then went to bed. I guess the chapter at 11 o’clock can’t be finished on time. I will do it when I wake up, and I will try to return another chapter today~~
