Chapter 116: Hospitable And Foolish People With Lots Of Money
Originally, Li Bai planned to take Lu Yao to Longguoxing, but who knew that Lu Yao refused Li Bai's invitation righteously on the grounds of filming a movie.
When he first arrived in Hong Kong Island, Li Bai planned to give the crew a day to recuperate. Who would have thought that this group of young people were so energetic that they didn't even want to waste a day.
Seeing this thriving scene, what else can Li Bai say as the boss?
Although he got up very late in the morning, he still specially ordered a big meal for the crew as a reward.
And Li Bai went to Long Guoxing accompanied by Qi Yongsheng.
Now Hong Kong Island movies are still on the tail of their peak, although the influence of Hong Kong Island movies in Asia is getting worse and worse, and they are being caught up by the kimchi country and the island country. But this period also produced many masterpieces that sold well at the box office.
For example, "Kung Fu Football" released last year had a box office of 60.73 million Hong Kong dollars on Hong Kong Island alone.
It's a pity that the next year will be the Second Primary School's Chinese New Year - a year is not like "643" like a year.
The local box office and market on Hong Kong Island have shrunk sharply, and the Asian market has been further invaded by other countries. Filmmakers on Hong Kong Island have to start the era of collectively going north to make money.
And only the Dragon Country audiences are still enthusiastic about Hong Kong Island movies these days.
Those Hong Kong Island filmmakers also found that their local films and stars seemed to have a good market in Longguo, and a film didn't need to be so exciting to make tens of millions at the box office.
Ever since, the audience of Longguo left an initial impression on Hong Kong Island filmmakers that they are stupid and rich.
They relaxed their requirements on the quality of the movies. Almost every movie can keep its capital just by placing various advertisements. As long as it is released in Longguo, it is a guaranteed business.
It's time to fool the audience!
And it took five or six years to fool around. During this period, there were really not many Hong Kong Island filmmakers who really devoted themselves to making movies.
But if a filmmaker loses the spirit of pursuing excellence in movies, how can he make good movies?
Immediately afterwards, the word-of-mouth of Hong Kong Island movies became worse and worse, and the audience in Longguo didn't buy it anymore.
Except for those big stars in Hong Kong Island who still have some markets, other practitioners have to integrate into the mainland film industry in order to ensure a bowl of food.
These were the years when Hong Kong Island films declined the most.
In the final analysis, the audience of Longguo was too tolerant, being deceived again and again, and fooled again and again.
It was too late to realize.
Li Bai and Mr. Xiang agreed to meet in Longguoxing.
Moreover, it was Xiang Huawen who was personally contacted by the Hong Kong Island officials, and repeatedly urged Xiang Huawen to have a better attitude, and the young man who asked him out was unusual.
This scares Xiang Huayu a bit. In ancient times, even the prince's parade was basically treated like this, right?
To this end, he specifically collected information on Li Bai.
The son of the richest woman in mainland China, he also has a net worth of 5 billion Dragon National Coins, the first full-score college entrance examination champion in the history of Dragon Kingdom, the screenwriter of "Jaws" and "Home Alone"......
Grass!
This young man is awesome!
Anyone who sees this short profile will be so amazed.
Moreover, when "Jaws" was released on Hong Kong Island, Xiang Huawen went to see it specifically. The box office on Hong Kong Island was a full 51.07 million Hong Kong dollars, which was a bit scary.
The box office of "Home Alone", which is currently being screened, is also an explosive mess.
Unexpectedly, the screenwriter of the two films turned out to be an 18-year-old kid.
wrong!
It's just that, the Hong Kong Island officials repeatedly told themselves.
Perhaps the origin of this young man is not only like this.
Who is Xiang Huayu?
How many storms and waves have you experienced?
As the leader of the first batch of underground forces who took the initiative to get close to the officialdom of the Dragon Kingdom, he has always had a good eye.
Li Bai, a young man, must have come from a certain big family.
With this preliminary judgment, Xiang Huayu will naturally make his arrangements.
Even before Li Bai went to Long Guoxing's "Back to 20" crew, he was already protected by the assimilation key.
*****
"Mr. Li is really young and promising!"
Xiang Huayu smiled, and his enthusiasm was a bit out of line with his personality.
But Li Bai is a person who has seen the world anyway, and he also complimented: "Mr. Xiang is in the prime of life.
"I have watched Mr. Li's "Jaws" and the current "Home Alone", and his screenwriting skills are simply world-class.
Xiang Hua continued to praise without hesitation.
It almost made Li Bai a little flustered.
When "Home Alone" was released, he was busy setting up companies and factories in Shanghai.
Although the two screen companies are not many, there are 7 factories that can produce parts and components. At that time, Li Bai was really busy and dizzy.
How can I have time to pay attention to "Home Alone"?
"Mr. Xiang is awsome. In the film industry, you are a well-deserved senior."
Xiang Huayu (Quasi-Emperor NPC); Homo sapiens
Skill 1, Hero: Ambitious and capable, it will cause a certain amount of mental coercion when it is serious.
Skill 2. Judging the situation: Can see the general trend clearly, so as to avoid evil...
Skill 3. Entertainment vision (deteriorating): The investment vision for the entertainment industry is precise, and there are very few losses.
My mood at this moment: I don’t know what Li Bai’s origin is?
Are you really afraid of my identity?
And the skills actually degenerate, this is the first time Li Bai has seen it.
Thinking about the bad movie of the century "Legend of the Gods: Lei Zhenzi" invested by the later generations of Long Guoxing, it was really bad, and it was as good as "The Promise" for a while.
If it weren't for the fact that "Pure Mind: Chasing Dreams in the Showbiz" directed by Bi Da was so bad that no one could compare it two years later, "Legend of the Gods: Lei Zhenzi" would have been nailed to the pillar of shame long ago.
At that time, Xiang Huaqiang's entertainment vision skills must have degenerated, right?
The two went through a lot of business bragging before Li Bai got into the subject.
"Mr. Xiang, I want to buy your film library of Long Guoxing."
Buy a library?
Remake?
Or is it re-released with Dragon Kingdom?
For a while, Xiang Huajun could only think of these two reasons.
But he didn't know whether he should refuse, so he was silent for a while.
Li Bai continued: "What I want to buy is the online broadcasting rights of all Long Guoxing's movies.
Internet broadcast rights, do I not need to purchase this thing?
Not to mention the mainland, even Hong Kong Island is full of pirates, can this stuff be sold for money?
Could it be that Mr. Li is the legendary idealist?
Follow the rules, I like it!
Xiang Huayu admired this young man with a lot of money and stupidity more and more.
"Then I wonder how much Mr. Li is going to bid for 4.7?" Xiang Huayu smiled gently.
"Let's make an offer to the gentleman. Actually, I don't understand this part." Li Bai smiled shyly, as if he was silly and sweet.
But Xiang Huawan didn't dare to fool Li Bai as a fool.
Although in his opinion, Li Bai is really stupid, but he has a lot of background.
Judging from the current piracy situation, even the entire Long Guoxing film library is not worth much.
But as a businessman, he really wanted to use waste.
"Or 60 million, you can exclusively buy out the permanent online broadcast rights of all Long Guoxing's movies.
This time it was Li Bai's turn to be shocked, this shit is like the price of cabbage!
In future generations, I don’t know how many people have recharged members on the video playback platform in order to watch some classic Hong Kong movies.
If you are willing to sell it for 60 million, it is like giving yourself money!
This Mr. Xiang is really a good man! .
