Rebirth of the Wild Age

Boss Zou did not attract the attention of reporters because his company address was less than one kilometer away from the Peninsula Hotel. Ask the driver to drive him to the underground parking lot, take the elevator up directly, make a detour in the middle, and never bump into reporters.

The reason why the tea restaurant of Peninsula Hotel is widely loved by the entertainment industry is that Mr. Shao Liu, the owner of Shaw Company, has its root.

Mr. Shao Liu likes to drink afternoon tea here, even discussing business, or summoning a certain actor, is also in the tea restaurant. Boss Zou and Mr. Shao Liu met for the first time at the Tea Restaurant of Peninsula Hotel, and even Boss Zou likes to drink afternoon tea here.

The bosses of the two most powerful movie companies in Hong Kong City both like this place, how could those stars let it go?

As long as they can afford it, celebrities come to the tea restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel whenever they are free, and it is easy to meet Boss Shao or Boss Zou. Even if you can't chat, it's good to have a face-to-face meeting. Maybe one day the boss will remember it, and then it will be a matter of course to get an important role.

Star-studded, coupled with many wealthy people coming and going, the Peninsula Hotel has become a holy place for reporters in Hong Kong City.

Guo Tianwang led Song Weiyang straight inside, pointed to the direction facing the sea by the window and said, "That's Boss Zou's fixed seat over there, he always sits there."

Song Weiyang walked into the tea restaurant, glanced casually, and recognized several film and television actors, including one who liked to play "Legend", and often carried a machete and said: If you are a brother, come and kill me!

Boss Zou turned his back to the direction of the door, and there was a woman sitting beside him, and the two were talking in a low voice.

Guo Tianwang walked over quickly and said with a smile, "Zou Sheng, Boss Song is here."

Boss Zou and the woman immediately stood up and turned their heads. Song Weiyang couldn't laugh or cry that the old man was so bad that he even called Yang Gongru here. Was it because the scandal wasn't enough?

But it's also normal, because Yang Gongru is the default heroine of "Chinese Heroes", and also the heroine of the previous "The Wind and Cloud Hegemony".

"Hi, Song Sheng, I have admired your name for a long time, a hero is a young boy," Boss Zou smiled and held Song Weiyang's hand, "In the battle of Futures Exchange, Song Sheng was very powerful, and many of my old friends are talking about Song Sheng. "

Song Weiyang said: "It's too good, it's just luck."

"Song Sheng is too modest, and it's not just luck to be involved in finance," Boss Zou introduced. "This is Ms. Yang Gongru, who is also one of the heroines of the upcoming filming of "Chinese Heroes."

Yang Gongru immediately took a step forward, smiling a little shyly, and said in a soft voice: "Hello, Song Sheng, I'm glad to meet you."

This woman has a bit of tricks, her shy and charming smile is exactly the type that men like most.

I'm not the richest man in Shenghai, you seduce me!

"Hi, Miss Yang." Song Weiyang didn't like this at all, and let go of the handshake.

At the moment of shaking hands, Song Weiyang's palm was hooked, it seemed to be unintentional, and it seemed to be a temptation.

Song Weiyang only ordered a glass of orange juice and a Niu Zhi, Boss Zou immediately asked, "Is Mr. Song not used to Hong Kong afternoon tea?"

Song Weiyang said, "I don't like sweets."

Boss Zou said: "I was negligent, I should change to another restaurant."

"It's not bad, the sandwiches are also good," Song Weiyang said, "Let's talk about the movie directly."

Boss Zou said with a smile, "I happened to bring the script, Song Sheng, please read it."

Most Hong Kong films have no scripts before shooting, or only have very brief scripts. Even if there is a very formal script, various on-the-spot changes will be made during filming. The screenwriters of Hong Kong films must follow the crew throughout the filming.

"Chinese Heroes" is positioned as a blockbuster with comic special effects, and the script is relatively complete, but Song Weiyang only scanned the outline of the plot, and found that it was different from what he remembered.

In this script, there is no scene of the protagonist's son at all. It tells the story of Hua Yingying when he was young, which is the first part of the original comic.

Ekin Cheng plays Hua Yingxiong and Guo Fucheng plays Arhat, which are barely two protagonists.

Golden Harvest's plan is huge. They plan to shoot "Fengyun 1" first, then "Chinese Hero 1", and then continue to shoot "Fengyun 2" and "Chinese Hero 2". Historically, investment may not have been drawn. The plan for "Feng Yun 2" was cancelled, and the script of "Chinese Hero 1" was also directly rewritten.

Song Weiyang only glanced casually, and asked, "Why did Boss Zou ask me to invest?"

Boss Zou said with a smile: "I think the mainland market is vast, and we should strengthen our ties. Even if we can't cooperate this time, I hope to make friends with Song Sheng."

In fact, Golden Harvest's funds are tight, and they want to find bad guys everywhere to invest.

In the past, most of the patrons of Hong Kong films were crooked businessmen, and those guys got rich, which directly gave birth to the term "selling movies". Just like selling off-plan properties in real estate, you can find any celebrity to shoot a promotional video, and you can get investment from crooked businessmen. When the development was at its most outrageous, the director of Hong Kong City wrote a list of stars, just fooled up the plot outline, and invested tens of millions to get it. This is the case with Sunglasses King's "Evil in the East and West in the West".

Now that Hong Kong movies are on the decline and businessmen are becoming more sophisticated, Boss Zou is thinking of fooling wealthy businessmen from mainland China.

As long as this "Chinese Hero" makes money, Golden Harvest can make a big splash in the future, and then use Song Weiyang's successful investment case as a signboard to continue to fool other local bosses in the mainland.

At the same time, Golden Harvest has been developing the mainland box office market for the past ten years. Now that the Wanwan market has been destroyed and the Hong Kong market has declined, we can only turn our attention to the mainland market. The more mainland Chinese bosses I know, the easier it is to do in the mainland box office market. Boss Zou thinks long-term.

Boss Zou said, "Golden Harvest has also invested in a few theaters in mainland China, and the revenue has been good. If Song Sheng is interested, we can invest and build theaters in mainland China together."

Even though Song Weiyang doesn't know much about the film and television industry, he still knows that making movies in mainland China is looking for death. He declined, "I don't understand movies. It's okay to do it occasionally. Just invest in building theaters."

Boss Zou continued to fool around: "Any market needs to be cultivated. Let's build theaters slowly to cultivate the movie-watching habits of mainland audiences. In a few years, the mainland film market will flourish. After all, there are 1 billion people. potential market! Take the auto industry as an example, how many people bought cars in mainland China 20 years ago? Now they are everywhere! The same goes for making movies.”

"Hehe." Song Weiyang smiled back.

After a lot of rambling, Song Weiyang couldn't get into it. Boss Zou could only talk back to "Chinese Heroes": "The investment budget of this movie is ten thousand Hong Kong dollars, and it was created by the original crew of "The Wind and Cloud". "The Wind and Cloud" It is this year's box office champion, and overseas releases are already being arranged, and it will definitely make a lot of money. The same is true for "Chinese Heroes", with all popular movie stars starring, there is no need to worry about not making money."

"Okay, I'll invest 15 million Hong Kong dollars. I'll send someone to contact Golden Harvest for the details of the contract," Song Weiyang said.

This is the decision to vote 15 million?

It really is a big dog!

Yang Gongru's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at Song Weiyang affectionately, and asked, "Song Sheng, my friend is going to hold a yacht party this weekend, are you interested in attending?"

"Unfortunately, I don't have time." Song Weiyang smiled.

Yang Gongru said again: "If Song Sheng is not used to the food in Hong Kong City, I know there is a restaurant that does very good northern dishes, why don't I take you to try it."

Song Weiyang said, "Next time."

"Oh," Yang Gongru was quite disappointed, took out his business card and said, "Song Sheng, next time you come to Hong Kong City, you can come to me for anything. By the way, if your company's products need advertising endorsements, I will only charge half the price! "

"Half price, how embarrassing that is." Song Weiyang couldn't help laughing, the other party's intention was too obvious.

Yang Gongru said: "Song Sheng's company's products, I believe, are all excellent, and the quality is not a problem at all. So even if it is a half-price endorsement, it is a good thing for me, and it can broaden my popularity in mainland China. I hope that in the future, I will cooperate more. Become good friends with Song Sheng."

"It's easy to say." Song Weiyang put the business card in his pocket casually.

The next thing is to gossip. Boss Zou didn't talk about movies, but started talking about real estate with Song Weiyang. Golden Harvest started to invest in real estate several years ago, and participated in the investment and construction of many real estate projects.

"Now that the housing market in Hong Kong City has picked up, I believe it will rise sharply in the next few years. It is a great time to buy a house," Boss Zou said. "Song Sheng has so much idle funds in his hands, so he can start early. If you buy in bulk, I will give you the market price." 20% off."

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "I don't buy houses, I only buy commercial buildings."

Those who do business in the mainland, who hasn't studied the real estate in Hong Kong City, the routines of mainland real estate developers are all learned from the seniors in Hong Kong City.

Since the defeat of Soros, the property market in Hong Kong City has indeed recovered rapidly, and house prices may even rise by 20% next year.

At that time, countless people will follow suit and speculate in real estate, and all of them will be trapped. In the next six years, housing prices will plummet by 65%!

The reason is the Hong Kong government's policy of building houses for the benefit of the people.

The Hong Kong government found that many ordinary people could not afford to live in houses, so in the year of the reunification, there was a large-scale housing construction plan. In 1999, the large-scale housing construction plan was officially implemented, and 16 residential lands were sold in one go, and 85,000 housing units were built, and there were policy incentives for the poor to buy housing. Immediately afterwards, another 100,000 houses were built two years later, and it is estimated that 70% of the people in Hong Kong City will have their own houses within ten years.

As a result, housing prices in Hong Kong City have been falling all the way, falling by 65% ​​in six years.

It stands to reason that this is a great thing for ordinary people. The house price has dropped, and finally there is enough money to pay the down payment. However, it has been widely criticized by public opinion, because house prices have fallen too fast, and people who have already bought houses have become negative equity. Even those who applauded the falling house price last year, after buying a house, scolded the government for nonsense in the second year and demanded that the government stop granting land to real estate developers.

The big real estate developers even collectively boycotted the Hong Kong government because their interests were damaged. After Soros came, housing prices in Hong Kong City fell by 50%, and finally rose by 20%. Now the Hong Kong government has made another 65% drop.

As a result, the Hong Kong government's ambitious ten-year large-scale housing construction plan to benefit the people was stranded halfway, and housing prices in the Hong Kong city skyrocketed.

Song Weiyang would never touch the housing market at this time, he only bought commercial buildings at the bottom, because the prices of commercial real estate not only did not fall, but continued to rise, the higher the price, the more outrageous it became.
