The chief player of the film and television world

Chapter 41 Establishment of a Film Company
Zhang Jin didn't have to worry about setting up a film company. Wei Hongsheng took care of recruiting people. Wu Tiancheng handled the application for licenses and dealing with the Hong Kong government. He only needed to pay.

In Xiangjiang in this era, everything is easy to do if you have money. After a few days, the qualification of the company is completed, the employees are recruited, and the new company can be opened soon.

After these days of observation, Zhang Jin found that Wei Hongsheng seemed to have some ability in management, and his communication skills were also good. He seemed more suitable as a manager than a director, but he didn't seem to have any intention of developing into management.

In Wei Hongsheng's words, making movies is his dream, and socializing is just a way to make money.

On the southeast corner of the sixth floor of a twelve-story building on Queen's Road in Central, the [-]-square-foot office was rented out, and after simple renovations, it became the office of the film company.

One week later, Master, please calculate the auspicious day for the opening, and Yongsheng Film Company will be officially completed!

At the opening ceremony, Zhang Jin invited a few friends to join him, and Wei Hongsheng also brought friends he knew to celebrate.

The scene was not grand, and could even be said to be a bit low-key.

The first person to come was none other than Luo Zhengying: "Congratulations! Ah Jin, you have a place to find food in the line of business. In the future, please help Ah Hao a lot. If he can continue on this road, I'm relieved too!"

"Master Luo, please be polite. Ah Hao and I are brothers. You must take care of him. Don't worry. In the future, Master Longhu will be used to make movies, and the masters in Lianghelou will need to lend disciples to help!"

After welcoming Master Luo into the door, Zhang Jin saw a familiar slim figure.

"Miss Bai, I didn't expect you to be able to give me face."

Bai Yue'e smiled and said: "You and Ah Hao are making movies together and starting a company, I will come to support you! Hey, I told you to stay away from Annie before, are you obedient?"

"Yes, I didn't contact her after the birthday party." Zhang Jin said.Originally, he planned to contact Zhou Anni, but it seemed that she was flying back to England after Christmas, so he had to give up for now.

"That's good. I'm doing it for your own good. The poor scholar and the noble lady will really die!" Bai Yue'e walked in after finishing speaking.

After Bai Yue'e left, Wei Hongsheng brought a few friends over to introduce each other to Zhang Jin. Some were filmmakers, some were radio hosts, and some were newspaper editors. They were all in their thirties.

"Senior brother."

"Brother Qiancheng."

Wang Weimin brought Wu Shihao to congratulate.

Although Zhang Jin didn't want the film company to be associated with the prefix club, he was embarrassed to brush off their kindness.

But today, the two of them wore suits and leather shoes, which restrained their Jianghu aura a lot. As long as they were not familiar with people, they would basically not be seen through their identities.

"Zhang Sheng, I'll bring a friend over to introduce you to each other."

Wu Tiancheng was accompanied by a young man who seemed to have a higher taste in suits than Wang Weimin and Wu Shihao. His tie was fastened meticulously with tie clips. He was in his twenties and wore gold-rimmed glasses, giving him the impression of an elite intellectual. .

"He Shao, this is the boss of Yongsheng Film Company, Zhang Jin. Zhang Sheng, this is He Qisheng, the account manager of the Credit Department of Hang Seng Bank."

"He Shao, hello!"

"Hello, Zhang Sheng."

The two shook hands, and Zhang Jin invited them in.

After waiting at the door for a while, Zhang Jin closed the front desk when he saw that everyone had arrived, and he went into the office to greet everyone.After a brief speech, he invited everyone to the screening room to watch the finished film of the great hero.

"Zhang Sheng, come here." Wu Tiancheng pulled Zhang Jin aside.

"Wu Dazhuang, what's the matter?"

"Zhang Sheng, I met He Shao by chance in a bar before. After a few chats, I learned that he is very interested in movies, so I invited him to come here today. He Shao is the cousin of He Shanheng, the major shareholder of Hang Seng. Small rights, if the company has financial problems in the future, you might as well ask him for help." Wu Tiancheng said softly.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, but you can get to know this kind of person in a bar. It's really impressive." Zhang Jin said.

"If it wasn't for Zhang Sheng's support, I wouldn't have the money and status to meet such a person." Wu Tiancheng said modestly.

He knew that if he hadn't been the legal adviser of Yongsheng Film Company, He Qisheng would have ignored him at all.

"How could Hang Seng Bank find a small company like mine? Even if you like movies, wouldn't it be good to go to Shaw Brothers, Zhonglian, and Great Wall? I want to be honest." Zhang Jin has heard the name of Hang Seng Bank, and it is a Chinese capital The biggest one in the bank.

Wu Tiancheng explained: "Because there are too many hot money in the bank, if you don't invest as much as possible to obtain income, paying interest alone will be a big expense. In recent years, hot money in Southeast Asia, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Australia has been pouring into Xiangjiang. There are already more than six billion yuan, and the real estate land has been rising, and it has doubled several times, which is caused by the investment of several major banks.

As for Shaw Brothers, Zhonglian and Great Wall, these film companies, Zhonglian has stopped filming, and Shaw Brothers is backed by British capital. Just winning a Great Wall cannot solve the problem of too much hot money. Naturally, the more customers the better. "

"I didn't expect Wu Dazhang to know a lot about finance."

"To tell you the truth, if I hadn't been hired by you, I would have been prepared to switch careers and join the financial industry. My friends on Wall Street in the United States often persuade me to venture into it." Wu Tiancheng laughed.

"Fortunately you didn't go." Zhang Jin smiled and patted his arm, "I know about Young Master He, let's go in and watch the movie I cast."

"I heard that Zhang Sheng invested 100 million. It's a big deal! I must take a good look!" Wu Tiancheng did not continue the previous topic, but followed his meaning.

After everyone was seated, Wei Hongsheng asked the projectionist to start showing the film.

I didn't have time to make the opening title, so after a short silence, the three movie titles of "Big Hero" and the name of the main creator appeared, and then the first scene appeared.

Because I rented Shaw Brothers' machines, I also followed Shaw Brothers' steps closely. The whole film is full of color images, which makes people feel more real and friendly than black and white.

Wei Hongsheng's directing level and photographer's shooting level can only be said to be average, but Zhang Jin can't stand the rich and willful, almost more than half of the 100 million investment is spent on burning film, and he chooses the best among repeated shootings. With good picture effects, it can be said that the movie Big Hero is made of money, and it is more beautiful than other colorful movies.

As soon as the picture came out, you could see the light beams cast by the warm yellow sunlight through the crack of the door, which immediately made everyone present a little amazed!

As the story progresses, the beginning is a battle of kicking the hall. When Huo Dongjun, played by Luo Hao, comes on stage, his beautiful and fierce moves and fighting scenes make everyone's eyes shine!
"Wonderful! Sharp and good-looking!" He Qisheng couldn't help but praise.

The new style of fighting and the short, fast and compact plot deeply attracted the attention of everyone present. With the development of the plot, the characters encountered and their moods changed. During the nearly two-hour screening, everyone was immersed in the story of the film.
