Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 69 Matchmaking

When Sammo Hung left, Su Chengcheng was reading the information Wu Zheng gave him.

Originally, his idea was to follow the same method of buying cinema chains in Hong Kong, slowly buy shops in Hollywood, then decorate them and use them as cinemas. However, through Jiang Zhiqiang's story, he understood that if he did that, even if he had enough money,

, you can wait until the hairstyle channel is perfected, and it will take at least 2 years of preparation to exceed the scale of 500 theaters.

Furthermore, unlike here in Xiangjiang, the basic salary of employees there is also high. If the film is not released, the losses will be too big.

After some discussion, Su Cheng asked Wu Zheng to find someone to start investigating there.

Not to mention, I actually found out that two companies are interested in selling. One is United Artists Film Company founded by comedy master Chaplin. The other is the famous 20th Century Fox Film Company.

United Artists is currently facing bankruptcy and is in urgent need of capital injection. As for 20th Century Fox Pictures, although it has filmed "Alien" in recent years, it has insufficient liquidity and is heavily in debt.

In contrast, United Artists Film Company is not a big company, and if they want to acquire all of it, it will only cost less than 100 million U.S. dollars. Su Cheng does not plan to use their company's directors, actors, or even part of their film library. In this way, it is estimated that

The price is only within 50 million US dollars.

But Twentieth Century Fox is different, asking for nearly 600 million U.S. dollars. As long as theaters and distribution are needed, it will also require 150 million U.S. dollars.

A total of 200 million US dollars and more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars is really unaffordable for the current Tengyue Entertainment Company!

However, Twentieth Century Fox was eyeing too many people, and Su Cheng's idea was to take over United Artists first. At least, it had more than 300 theaters, which was not a small number.

Thinking of this, I called Wu Zheng directly and said: "Korean Angkor, start contacting Lianmei Company and acquire it as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Zheng was stunned and said: "A Cheng, do you have that much money?"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "I don't want anything else, I just need their theaters and distribution. It won't exceed 50 million US dollars. If you don't have enough money, you can use Tengyue TV and Tengyue Cinemas as mortgage loans. The speed must be fast!"

"I understand, I will go there in person tomorrow!" Wu Zheng said solemnly.

"Then it will be troublesome for Angkor!"

After hanging up the phone, Su Cheng smiled. The reason why he didn't go there in person was because he wanted to put the theater chain under Wu Zheng's name. After all, there is a strict "anti-monopoly law" in Hollywood. The theater cannot be

The line hangs with film production companies.

This is also a good thing, as it facilitates negotiations.

After all, buying it is just for distribution!

Now that there are theaters, the film company cannot be late. Su Cheng called Liang Shuyi and Shi Nansheng again.

After a while, the two of them arrived.

Looking at them, Su Cheng said bluntly: "I have already sent people to Hollywood to acquire theater chains. This is the second contact. If nothing goes wrong, all deliveries will be completed within three months. What I need to ask you to do

, is to start preparing for our branch there. As for where it will be located, the two of you will discuss it. Especially Shi Nansheng, you will be the general manager of the branch there in at least the next two years. I hope you can find a

It’s a place with a good location, just buy it, decorate it, and wait for the crew to arrive later.”

Hearing this, Liang Shuyi was not surprised at all, but Shi Nansheng was quite happy. She didn't expect the boss to move so quickly. She felt a little overwhelmed. She immediately promised: "Yes, boss! I will choose the place carefully!"

After she left, Su Cheng said to Liang Shuyi: "Do you think Wang Jing can take on the important task?"

Liang Shuyi said in a serious tone: "Boss, no matter whether he can do it or not, this time, the director must be his, otherwise there will be problems within the company."

This is also where Su Cheng is most helpless. Speaking of which, Du Qifeng's ability is even higher than that of Wang Jing, what a pity! This fat man is not very motivated, and it has been so long, and it still cannot reach the level that he is satisfied with. It can really kill a person!

Shaking his head, Su Cheng said: "Then let's wait and see! It will take a month for the branch to be completed. Use this time to let him study hard. Otherwise, he will only be responsible when he goes to Hollywood.

This is a drama."

…

"Five Lucky Stars" was released, and the box office reached HK$680,000 on the first day. However, on the second day, the box office surged, and it suddenly soared to HK$930,000.

At this time, "The Prodigal Son" has already exceeded the box office of 5 million Hong Kong dollars, and it is hoped that the box office will eventually exceed 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

Yuen Biao was featured in both films, which instantly made his reputation skyrocket.

It was at this time that "Double Dragon Goes to the Sea" and "The Brave Cannon" directed by Feng Suifan were completed, while the post-production of "The Hollow Young Master" directed by Liu Jiarong was completed and waiting to be arranged for release. As for "The Royal Senior Sister"

" has not yet been filmed. Ann Hui's "The Story of Hu Yue" is not yet in progress. Guan Jinpeng's "The Man Who Never Takes Off His Socks" was completed two days ago and is currently in post-production.

The reason why these works were prepared at almost the same time was because many actors took turns filming in various major crews, resulting in some being filmed quickly and some being filmed slowly. This was actually Su Cheng's negligence.

However, since the acquisition of Tengyue TV, they have been able to find more and more actors, and they are not afraid of not being able to find suitable actors internally.

On this day, Su Cheng finally finished the novel "The Myth". Instead of handing it over to Hu Tianlun for serialization, he hired Chow Yun-fat and Chen Yulian.

After asking them to sit down, Su Cheng said frankly and honestly: "Brother Fa, our company has already deployed in Hollywood. In about two or three months, you will join the team to shoot the second blockbuster we are preparing."

After a pause, he continued: "I wonder what you and Sister Lian have planned for the future?"

"Ah! Boss..." In an instant, Chow Yun-fat and Chen Yulian's faces became very ugly, thinking that the company wanted to prevent them from falling in love.

Waving his hand, Su Cheng said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not trying to break you up, but I want you two to get married as soon as possible and have a family, so that I can safely send Brother Fa to Hollywood to make movies. Otherwise,

To be honest, I don’t dare!”

Long-distance love is a very scary thing. Not to mention how deep the relationship is, with the geographical problem, everyone will gradually become a "stranger". This is something Su Cheng doesn't want. Furthermore, he has a good sense of Chen Yulian, I hope

The two of them were able to "cherish each other" instead of throwing them off midway.

As soon as the word marriage came out, Chen Yulian was nervous at first, and then very excited. On the contrary, Chow Yun-fat was a little at a loss.

Seeing his appearance, Su Cheng smiled and said, "What? Brother Fa, you are the famous Xu Wenqiang! You can't hold the place together like this?"

Chow Yun-fat was even more embarrassed.

Without further joking, Su Cheng asked: "Are you willing to get married?"

Chen Yulian glanced at Su Cheng, then at Chow Yun-fat, and said softly: "I do!"

Chow Yun-fat also nodded and said: "Me too!"

Satisfied, Su Cheng let them go out, sat quietly for a while, and then took Liu Qing to Chow Yun-fat's home.

Su Cheng felt very sorry for the ending of the two of them in the previous life. Now that he had this opportunity, he should help it happen! Firstly, Chen Yulian was really good. Secondly, he didn't want Chow Yun-fat to commit suicide again.

Su Chengcheng had inquired about Chow Yun-fat's home a long time ago. When Liu Qing opened the door, he took out a photo with Chow Yun-fat and said with a smile: "Hello Aunt Chen, I am Brother Fa's friend.

You call me Ah Chengxing."

"Aunt Chen, can I go in and talk?"

"Ah! Come on, come in and sit down!"

After putting down the things he bought, Liu Qing went out. In addition to Chen Lifang, there was also one of his daughters, Zhou Cangling. She is Chow Yun-fat's sister.

"A Cheng, what are you doing?" Chen Lifang asked suspiciously.

Looking at the 58-year-old woman in front of him, Su Chengzhi said: "Aunt Chen, do you know that Brother Fa has a girlfriend?"

"I know! That child has been to the house several times!" Chen Lifang said.

After hearing this, Su Cheng continued: "Then what do you think of her? Is it suitable to be with Brother Fa?"

Before Chen Lifang could speak, Zhou Cangling on the other side interrupted: "I wonder what this gentleman means?"

Su Cheng then formally introduced: "Aunt Chen, eldest sister, hello. In addition to being Fa Ge's friend, I am also the boss of Tengyue Entertainment Company, Su Cheng!"

After they digested the information, Su Chengyan said: "That's it, our company is going to open a branch in Hollywood. Fa Ge is currently our main male artist. Once we go there, I'm afraid it will take two or three months at least.

Returning to Hong Kong more often than not takes about half a year. As you all know, he and Chen Yulian are boyfriend and girlfriend. After our discussion, we hope to get married as soon as possible when their relationship is strong and their family does not object.

When a man has a family, he can pay more attention to his career. It is good for him and for us. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Zhou Cangling was a little surprised. Does the current company boss still care about the marriage of employees? Chen Lifang, on the other hand, said hesitantly: "Is this really necessary?"

Su Cheng nodded and said with a smile: "Aunt Chen, I actually know a little about your family's situation. Over the years, neither you, Brother Fa, nor the eldest sister have had a good life. Brother Fa himself

From the beginning he wanted to make money, to now he likes to be an actor and has good qualifications. The future is unpredictable. I hope he can become more and more famous. On the contrary, I also hope that his love affairs can be successful and happy. Of course,

This is indispensable without the support of my family, especially you, Aunt Chen. Brother Fa respects you, loves you, and is obedient."

"Afa asked you to come?" Chen Lifang asked.

"What do you think?" Su Cheng smiled.

Zhou Cangling on the side said: "This is definitely not what Afa meant. If he wants to say it, he will say it home in person."

These words immediately dispelled Chen Lifang's worries.

However, regarding her son's marriage, she hesitated after looking at the home in front of her.

Glancing at Chen Lifang, Su Cheng smiled and said, "If Aunt Chen wants to give Brother Fa a good wedding room, don't worry."

As he said that, he showed her the property ownership certificate of a luxury property that had already been transferred and said, "This is the sincerity of our company."

After reading it, Chen Lifang and her daughter were very surprised. Not only was the house big, but the name of the property owner was still Chen Lifang, not Chow Yun-fat.

At this time, Su Cheng said: "Our company has specific plans for Fa Ge's future development. Once completed, we will be able to buy this house in about a year just from the dividends. Of course, this is our wish for their newlyweds.

Gift."

Along the way, he also took out a bankbook and said, "There is also this, which can slightly change the current life of the Zhou family."

Inside is an account opened in Chen Lifang's name. It's not much, with 5 million Hong Kong dollars.

The string of numbers almost dazzled their eyes. Chen Lifang declined: "We don't need this!"

Su Cheng smiled and said: "Aunt Chen, this is opened in your name and can only be handed over to you. In addition, I must have heard of a star named Jackie Chan! When Jiahe Company signed him, the signing fee was 400

More than ten thousand. I think Fa Ge has greater potential and is worth the price. What do you think?"

"I can't accept it!" Chen Lifang still refused, but Zhou Cangling said: "Mom, if you don't want it, it will prove that Afa is inferior to others!"

The boss personally took action and sent it out. Can he not accept it? As for the ones that are not returned, it will be settled by Chow Yun-fat at that time. Zhou Cangling thought very carefully.

After this matter was done, Su Cheng asked: "Aunt Chen, eldest sister, the matter has been settled. Let's start preparing for their marriage."

"Then I'm sorry to bother you!" Chen Lifang said.

"That's what we should do!"

After saying this, he turned around without stopping and left the Zhou family. After he left, the mother and daughter of the Zhou family looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

On the way back, Su Cheng kept thinking about Zhou's mother, Chen Lifang. From the current point of view, her impression of Chen Yulian is not very good, nor is it very bad. The reason why there was such a noisy situation in the previous life is that

Could it be that there were conflicts in the next one or two years, or that Chen Yulian truly believed that in Chow Yun-fat's eyes, career was more important than her.

In order for his future not to be delayed, he could only leave sadly.

As for the current situation, first of all, Tengyue Entertainment will support Chow Yun-fat well and have no worries. Furthermore, their relationship is very good and no major conflicts have arisen yet.

Very complete!

And the timing was good!

Seeing Su Cheng's smile, Liu Qing asked curiously: "Does it feel good to promote a marriage?"

"Well, great! What? You want it too?"

"No, no, no, I don't like anyone yet!" Liu Qing waved her hands quickly.

Su Cheng smiled and ignored him. Su Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly and fell asleep.
