Oh, it’s Brigitte Lin!
Ye Yuqing turned over and jumped off the horse, ran towards Brigitte Lin excitedly, and took the hand of the beautiful Lin to ask.
Although the daughter of the Ye family came from a wealthy family, she had a special liking for the entertainment industry. If her brother Ye Zhiming had not stopped him, she would have gone to be an actor.
Brigitte Lin was unable to stand Ye Yuqing's enthusiasm, so she had to answer with a funny and perfunctory response, and then turned the topic to riding a horse in a few words.
Sister Qingxia, you can’t ride a horse?I'll teach you Ah.Ye Yuqing had a bit of a cooked taste. She called her sister as soon as she met and pulled Brigitte Lin to teach her to ride a horse.
The last three women got together. Pan Disheng wanted to stay with Michelle Yeoh for a while, but he was really embarrassed to leave Kang Jianfei and Ye Zhiming to accompany the woman.
Pan Disheng originally found out that Michelle Yeoh liked to ride a horse, so he made an appointment to enhance his relationship with her preference. Unexpectedly, Michelle Yeoh would call Brigitte Lin, and he also brought a disturbance Kang Jianfei.
Now, the three women have become a circle, and the remaining three men can only talk about topics that are not nutritious.
After hearing that Pan Disheng was preparing to set up a film company, Ye Zhiming said deeply: Mr. Pan also wants to invest in a film company?As a person who has experienced it, I will give you a piece of advice. Don’t offend the Taiwan authorities, and it is best to have your own theater chain, otherwise you will always be controlled by others.
Pandison just wants to make some money by making movies and promote his own brand by the way. How could he have the idea of establishing a theater chain?
But Ye Zhiming was also kind-hearted, and Pan Disheng couldn't help but appreciate it and said with a smile: Thank you Mr. Ye for reminding me, I will pay attention.
Mr. Kang did a good job in this regard. Ye Zhiming said with admiration that his Dream Factory was initially controlled by Princess Jin Cinemas, and later broke up with Lei Juekun to form a new era cinema. This trick is really a masterpiece.
Kang Jianfei shook his head and smiled bitterly: The theaters in the new era are too loose, and I can’t do anything about many internal conflicts.
Ye Zhiming looked at Kang Jianfei and laughed: Mr. Kang, don’t hide it. You will definitely set up your own theater chain within half a year at the latest.
Anyone with a discerning eye in the circle can guess that Kang Jianfei wants to set up a theater company again. After all, Zhang Moren bought several real estates and built a cinema, you can find out after a little inquiry.
The three men rode their horses slowly forward, and after chatting around, Ye Zhiming suddenly asked: Mr. Kang, I wonder what you think about the videotape distribution industry?
Kang Jianfei replied without thinking too much: As more and more people use home video recorders, the release of video tapes must be a big deal.
Mr. Kang had a good vision, Ye Zhiming held his horse's head and asked with a smile, "I wonder if Mr. Kang is interested in investing in a video tape distribution company?"
Kang Jianfei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and asked back: Mr. Ye is going to do a videotape distribution?
I have this idea, but no one is willing to invest.
Ye Zhiming said helplessly that his jeans business has collapsed, film companies have closed down, and real estate has lost all their money in recent years. How can anyone dare to cooperate with him if he loses any business in such a person who has lost money in any business?
Kang Jianfei also asked the horse to stop and seriously consider the feasibility of Ye Zhiming's idea.
Movie video tapes are one of the peripheral products of movies and account for a significant proportion of future movie profits, but Hong Kong is not very good at watching at this time, mainly because home video recorders are not very popular.
Nowadays, those who do movie videotapes are distributed in Hong Kong, and a large number of them are pirated merchants.
Kang Jianfei remembers that there is a very powerful entertainment company in Hong Kong called Meiya Entertainment, such as Yang Mi and Gigi Leung, who are the artists of this company.
Meiya Entertainment was originally specializing in videotape distribution, and it grew rapidly in just a few years before it developed into a comprehensive entertainment company in three-dimensional manner.
Kang Jianfei is not an omniscient god. He didn't know that Meiya Entertainment would be established in a few months, but he knew that videotape distribution is really a profitable business and can complement DreamWorks well.
After thinking through this, Kang Jianfei suddenly smiled and said: If Mr. Ye has time tomorrow, it would be better to come out and have afternoon tea together.
Ye Zhiming laughed: I have nothing recently, I have a lot of time and am just looking for someone to have tea together.
The two of them had a tacit communication, and Pan Disheng next to them also understood that Kang Jianfei was preparing to cooperate with Ye Zhiming.
However, Pandison did not interfere. He still had little understanding of making movies, let alone video tape distribution business.
……
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Peninsula Teahouse.
Ye Zhiming savored the black tea and sighed: Mr. Kang, you are a big deal this time. The advertisement for "Terminator" actually hit the Peninsula Hotel. The walls of the Peninsula Hotel have always been clean.
Kang Jian flew to the tea and added milk, and smiled and said: It's nothing, just give me more money.As long as "Terminator" can be sold well in Hong Kong, film manufacturers in Nanyang and Japan will definitely rush to get it, and this advertising fee can be easily earned back.
The promotion of "Terminator" in Hong Kong has been going on for several days. As soon as the poster of this Hollywood science fiction movie was released, it immediately attracted great attention in Hong Kong.
The reason is no different, just because the most obvious position of "Terminator" in Hong Kong's promotional poster is the producer: Kang Jianfei!
That's right, Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton, all have to stand aside. The focus of the poster is actually the producer Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei really has no choice, because "Terminator" has no reputation in Hong Kong, and apart from the producer Kang Jianfei, there is no way to promote it.
The most disgusting thing is that there is a line of words on the poster: Mr. Kang Jianfei’s overseas investment science fiction film, Chow Yun-fat, Brigitte Lin, Cherie Chung, Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, and Chen Huimin... It is highly recommended that luxurious classics should not be missed.
On the poster, there are a string of names of celebrities under Kang Jianfei. The names are printed very well and conspicuously, but the two words "Highly Recommended" are so small that they are very pity. At first glance, I thought these people were the leading actors.
And after the release, many people were misled into the cinema after reading a string of celebrity names on the poster...
The two of them came to the Peninsula Teahouse today, so they naturally not only talked about "Terminator".
Ye Zhiming explained his thoughts and said: Nowadays, the video tape markets in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even the entire Southeast Asia and South Korea are all disorderly, and only Japan is more formal.This is an opportunity to release movie videotapes. Mr. Kang, you have DreamWorks as your support. Moreover, any movies released in theaters in the new era can be used as the source of videotape companies. Once the situation is opened, you can even monopolize the videotape industry in Hong Kong.
Kang Jianfei asked with a smile: You have been talking about my advantages all the time, so what role can you play?Are you not afraid that I will leave you alone?
There is endless money in the world, and Mr. Kang, you already have many companies under your control. How can you do a person have the energy to build a video tape distribution company?
Ye Zhiming said confidently, "You need to have a wide connection in this industry. I'm talking big here. Whether it's a movie under Jiahe or Yindu, as long as I have sufficient funds, I can get the copyright of the videotape."
Something interesting.Kang Jianfei asked, what kind of cooperation method Mr. Ye is planning?
Ye Zhiming said bluntly: You pay the money, and leave all the rest to me. I want 40% of the company's shares.
Kang Jianfei said in a good head: 40% is too much. I can ask a professional manager to help me manage the company.
Not much at all, Ye Zhiming put down the teacup and said, "The manager you paid for can I have connections with me for decades in Hong Kong?"Can you successfully obtain the videotape copyright of other film companies?Can it be easy to spread out the issuance channels?I can do all of this.To be honest, such cooperation can make more money than investing in a movie.If you give me a few million, I will give you a large company that monopolizes the Hong Kong videotape market, and 40% of the shares are not too high.
I will give you at most 20% of the shares.Kang Jianfei said slowly, Ye Zhiming was in a downturn and no one would invest in him to cooperate with him.
Ye Zhiming sighed: Mr. Kang still has no sincerity to cooperate.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: Mr. Ye, you said so many things, but you are actually changing your concepts.You have been emphasizing your incompetence, but you have ignored the importance of my cooperation.If you ask someone else to cooperate, such as the Pandison yesterday, can you successfully get the right to distribute the movie videotape from DreamWorks?The answer is no.Although the number of movies produced by DreamWorks and movies released by DreamWorks is not the largest, it accounts for nearly one-third of the box office of the Hong Kong film market.This is the biggest capital I have taken out in our cooperation, not the millions I invested in the first place.
Ye Zhiming smiled bitterly in his heart. Kang Jianfei was really not easy to fool. He said: OK, I only have 30% of the shares.
Kang Jianfei continued to shake his head: I said, at most 20%, there is no room for bargaining.If you can't accept it, you can go to work with others. At worst, I can open another video tape distribution company myself.
Ye Zhiming had no choice but to let go of Kang Jianfei's death. Not to mention that he could not find a business partner who was willing to invest, even if he could open the company, he would not be able to play with the film source without DreamWorks.
Well, I only have 20% of the shares, but I have the final say in the management of the company.Ye Zhiming finally surrendered.
Kang Jianfei smiled proudly and said: The company is yours in name, and it is only one year for you to cheat.If someone knew that I was the major shareholder of the company, the movies of Princess Jin and Jiahe, it would be difficult to buy the videotape distribution rights.
Ye Zhiming nodded and said: I understand this.
The two talked about some details of their cooperation before shaking hands happily to say goodbye.
Kang Jianfei asked the tea restaurant for a phone number and dialed the phone number of the Little Lover's Villa. The person answered the other side was the servant Liu Ma: Hello, Ma Liu, tell the ladies that I will come here to spend the night tonight and ask them to prepare in advance.
Ye Yuqing turned over and jumped off the horse, ran towards Brigitte Lin excitedly, and took the hand of the beautiful Lin to ask.
Although the daughter of the Ye family came from a wealthy family, she had a special liking for the entertainment industry. If her brother Ye Zhiming had not stopped him, she would have gone to be an actor.
