Video Game Empire

The school hasn't really started yet, and the students who were arranged by the teacher to show to the distinguished guests today are all the best students who have been carefully selected. Small, only by showing the best side can the school continue to raise more donations from the big donor of the East China Sea Fund in the future.

Among them, Liu Jiayu, a computer prodigy with both legs amputated, is undoubtedly one of the most impressive students. After attending the inauguration ceremony of the new campus, Zhong Chuhong was still talking about the child on the way back.

"That kid named Liu Jiayu is so sensible. Did you hear it just now? His biggest wish now is to help his mother find a new father, so that his mother won't have to work so hard to support the family in the future! Do you think we can Help him?" Zhong Chuhong said tenderly

"I can't find a father for him!" Li Xuan shook his head and said with a smile.

"Do you have any sympathy? You're too embarrassed to laugh!" Zhong Chuhong reached out and patted her husband in dissatisfaction.

"I haven't said anything yet. Although I can't find a new father for the child, I can give his mother a more relaxed job! There are too many people in this world who need help, and we don't Maybe all of them will be taken care of. But since I have a fate with him, I can still do my part!" Li Xuan said as he hugged his wife.

"It's almost!" Zhong Chuhong smiled sweetly. Now that her husband has spoken, she also believes that a large Oriental group of her own, wanting to arrange a person's work, is just a matter of words.

In fact, what Li Xuan is thinking about now is something else. This Liu Jiayu's wish to help his mother find a father reminded him of a classic Hollywood romance in his previous life. "Sleepless in Seattle".

That movie is about an eight-year-old boy who calls the radio's emotional hotline. I want to find a wife for my father. In the end, fate finally allowed the new mother to meet their father and son at the Empire State Building.

Asia Entertainment has been listed before the Lunar New Year until now. The total market value has exceeded 3.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, and it has become a star company in the oriental sector of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. But in fact, Asia Entertainment's main entertainment industry is very weakly related to the business of other companies in the Oriental Group.

Li Xuan bought Asian TV station in order to gain the right to speak in public opinion. Although Asia Satellite TV's profitability is not ranked, it is a very important bargaining chip for Li Xuan and the official game.

For example, Li Xuan plans to change the development plan of Tin Shui Wai from the original new town to an industrial park. This action is by no means a recent one. As early as a few years ago, Asia Satellite TV began to gradually guide public opinion in Hong Kong and pay attention to the upgrading and transformation of local industries.

For the past two or three years. As Hong Kong's light industry continues to move northward under cost pressure, the voices of the people for the government to actively support the development of local industries have been rising. It is against the background of public opinion formed by such long-term guidance that Li Xuan has the confidence to persuade the Hong Kong government, which upholds the policy of active non-intervention, to agree to make some changes in the face of surging public opinion.

The core business of the listed company, Asia Entertainment Holdings, is the film industry. Taking advantage of the Hong Kong film industry, the Asian film industry, which is a boutique company, has begun to sweep the Asian market in recent years. It has grown rapidly and its profitability has risen continuously. In the end, it made Li Xuan's property in one fell swoop through the listing. Another billion Hong Kong dollars was added.

But other than that, Asia Entertainment doesn't really play a very important role for Li Xuan. Among Li Xuan's growing total assets every year, Asia Entertainment Holdings only accounts for about 1.5% of Li Xuan's entire net worth, which is not really a core asset.

It is impossible to really let such a large company with a market value of more than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars. Become a base to provide Li Xuan with small-honey! Therefore, he has been thinking about how to make the Asian entertainment companies outside the entire Oriental Group system play a better role.

The entertainment industry represented by movies. In fact, it is the vane of popular culture. If used properly, it can actually have a huge impact. Like a few years ago. Dongfang Game Company sponsored the movie "Alien", so that it appeared in the released movie. A shot of aliens using a game console.

As a result, after "Alien" became popular all over the world, the sales of game consoles also successfully reached a new level. After that, Dongfang Game Company made another huge profit by developing the related games of "Alien"!

This successful example shows that a successful film can actually play a huge role in promoting the main business of the Oriental Group. And after Li Xuan was inspired today, he suddenly had a new script idea. Of course, he is not going to copy the original "Sleepless in Seattle" plot to make a "Sleepless in Hong Kong". He is preparing a brand new adaptation, creating a new film that maximizes the overall interests of the Oriental Group.

The film and television base in Tseung Kwan O, newly put into use by ATV Group, was also one of the important assets of the listed group when Asia Entertainment Holdings was listed. This piece of land with a total area of ​​12 hectares, in addition to a costume street, there are several large indoor photo studios, and two fifteen-story office buildings.

Because when ATV Group purchased the land, the agreement with the Hong Kong government contained provisions restricting commercial development. Therefore, after the two office buildings were completed and put into use, Asia Entertainment Holdings reached a memorandum of understanding with the Hong Kong government. As part of the government's plan to support Hong Kong's entertainment industry, Asia Entertainment has been allowed to lease office buildings to other film and television companies at prices well below market prices.

In this way, although Asian Entertainment Company cannot make a lot of profit from the rent of office buildings, it has successfully made Tseung Kwan O a new center of Hong Kong's entertainment industry. Among the two office buildings, one of them serves as the administrative building of ATV Group and Asia Entertainment Holdings, while the other office building for rent is crowded with more than 50 film companies, accounting for almost all films in Hong Kong. half of the company.

The two office buildings are two twin-star buildings with two underground floors connected together. The lobby on the bottom floor is very spacious, in addition to the ATV reception desk, there is a supermarket and a cafe. The second floor is a large canteen that provides meals for thousands of employees in the two buildings.

"Li Sheng!" As soon as Li Xuan walked into the hall, he heard a clear voice calling him from behind.

He turned his head. Seeing a beautiful woman with beautiful eyes, she was a little timid. He looked at himself with a bit of surprise.

"Liu Jialing, I remember you!" Li Xuan smiled at her.

He recognized this roommate He Qing at a glance. It is also the wife of the future Liangying Emperor. Yesterday, He Qing accidentally mentioned that she had just met the grandson of the boat king Xu Aizhou. Li Xuan thought that he, a very powerful butterfly, could not move the love trajectory of this Liu Meiren. She was still the same as in another time and space, and she came together with Xu Jianheng, the flowery young man.

And the reason why the two were fortunate enough to get to know each other came from the reception held by Li Xuan for "Blood Battle Taierzhuang". He can only sigh, fate is really amazing!

"Listen to He Qing, you have graduated from the artist training class, have you been filming recently?" Li Xuan asked angrily without rejecting anyone thousands of miles away.

"Yeah. I just graduated last month! Next week, a costume drama will be filmed. Today, I was called by the director for an early meeting!" Liu Jialing was naturally overjoyed when she had the opportunity to be with the big boss.

What's more, her vision has swept to the part-time job of the new crew and the director has just come out of the cafe on the ground floor. The two who were chatting and laughing all the way saw that Jialing Liu was able to talk to the big boss Li Xuan, and they couldn't help showing it. A bit surprised.

This is exactly the effect Liu Jialing wants. If she can receive Li Xuan's tiger skin, she will definitely be much more comfortable in the future when she joins the crew. It is not easy for a rookie like her to gain a firm foothold in this intriguing circle!

When the producer and director came forward. Liu Jialing immediately introduced the two to Li Xuan enthusiastically. At this time, Li Xuan could also guess the subtlety of this Liu Meiren's trick, but he didn't reveal it, and he didn't have much disgust. Smart people will always do everything possible to increase their chips for success, and he doesn't mind helping others with kindness.

The office of Zeng Zhiwei, president of Asia Entertainment, is in the dǐng building. When Li Xuan got out of the elevator, Zeng Zhiwei, who received a notification from the front desk downstairs, was already waiting at the elevator entrance.

"A boy who was amputated because of a car accident when he was a child. He was tired of studying at home because he was laughed at by other peers at school! A single mother raising a child alone. Accidentally discovered that her son was very talented in computers, so he spent all his The savings bought her a computer.

When mom goes out to work to earn money to support the family. The little boy was at home with the computer, and soon became a computer magician. He started teaching himself programming and sharing his little games with others in the virtual world through the Internet!

At this time, the male protagonist, a game planner of Dongfang Game Company, undoubtedly found the little boy's game works shared by netizens in a bbs forum. He felt that these small games were very good, so he decided to find the author of the game to buy the copyright!

In this way, the male protagonist and the little boy met on the Internet. But the little boy has mild social phobia because of his childhood experience, and resists too close contact with strangers! But the male protagonist is persevering, ready to slowly convince the game author who is a little cold to him!

So an adult and a child gradually became good friends through e-mail. After more and more exchanges, the little boy discovered that the man on the other end of the computer was actually a good candidate for his father, so he began to come up with a new idea.

That is to match this man I have never met to become my mother's new husband, so that my mother can have broad shoulders that she can rely on, and you don't have to work hard every day for several jobs! "Li Xuan directly introduced the idea of ​​the new film to Zeng Zhiwei.

"Li Sheng, is it really possible for a ten-year-old boy to become a computer expert?" Zhou Liang Shuyi asked with a frown.

She happened to be discussing work arrangements with Zeng Zhiwei, and when she heard that Li Xuan had another good movie idea, she immediately listened to Li Xuan's introduction with great interest. After all, several of Li Xuan's previous movie ideas in his playbooks have achieved good box office results.

"Yes, I met such a computer prodigy this morning! He was forced to amputate both legs due to a car accident when he was four years old! But at the age of eleven this year, he has only been exposed to computers for three years. The current level of computer programming is no worse than that of the computer majors at HKU and CUHK!" Li Xuan nodded confidently.

"According to your story outline, Li Sheng, this should be a tender romance!" Zeng Zhiwei said with a smile.

"Of course, the love story of a couple who ends up getting married will always be the theme that everyone can accept and resonate with the most! And I can guarantee that if the script of this film is good enough, you will definitely be able to convince Dongfang Game Company, Ai Kang Computer Company, Hong Kong Telephone Company and other companies provide a large amount of funds as sponsorship fees for new movies!" Li Xuan said with a smile.

There is a set of standard and strict film review rules within Asia Entertainment. Although Li Xuan is the boss, he rarely interferes with experts. The reason why ATV Group has been able to develop into the largest film and television entertainment group in Hong Kong in recent years is that it is ahead of other competitors in Hong Kong, and has achieved industry formalization and standardization earlier, in addition to the sufficient financial support provided by Li Xuan. Also a very important reason.

For example, like the previous "Blood Battle in Taierzhuang" project, the reason why Asia Entertainment is willing to co-produce with domestic studios is because Li Xuan gave a guarantee. If the film fails to recover the cost, the loss will be entirely borne by Li Xuan.

War movies are an unpopular subject in the Hong Kong film industry, and few people touch it~www.readwn.com~ Especially war blockbusters that require huge investment, film companies will not choose this kind of film under normal circumstances due to the consideration of risk control. kinds of themes. Without Li Xuan's guarantee, Zeng Zhiwei would definitely not agree to invest.

"According to the idea that you just introduced, Li Sheng, computer, internet, and games are all very important sections in this movie! After the screenwriting department has finished writing the script, I can indeed go to those rich and oily places. The company is going to be reunited!" Zeng Zhiwei couldn't help but immediately said happily.

As the president of Asia Entertainment, he must first consider the interests of the company. If companies such as Oriental Games, Aikang Computer, and Hong Kong Telephone can provide a large amount of sponsorship fees, they can offset a large part of the film production cost, which will naturally greatly reduce the risk of loss.

"In terms of specific plot filling, the writers in the screenwriting department are better than me. The only thing to pay attention to is that, in addition to the warmth of traditional romance films, this film must be made cool, computer and game programming, And the Internet, to most ordinary people, is still a very tall thing!

We want to let more ordinary people know and like them through movies. If your script can do this, I believe that several other companies in the group are even willing to bear all the production costs! "Li Xuan said with a smile. (To be continued.)
