Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

After the storm.

Yamaguchi Momoe lay in Lin Baicheng's arms, but Lin Baicheng entered the sage time.

The two of them talked about what happened recently around them, chatting without saying a word.

The two chatted for a while, and Yamaguchi Momoe said: "Makoto-kun, I am going to gradually withdraw and turn behind the scenes."

"Is there no problem with Sony Records?"

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but ask, Momoe Yamaguchi is very popular now, she wants to quit the entertainment industry, she is afraid that Sony Records is unwilling to let go of this cash cow.

"Well, I've reached an agreement with the company."

Yamaguchi Momoe said softly: "My cooperation will end at the end of next year. I have reached an agreement with the company that my contract will not be renewed next year. The company can hide me in the cold, and I can accept my retirement. However, the company hopes that I can continue. Making money for the company requires my cooperation, so I negotiated some terms with the company.”

"I tried my best to cooperate with the company before the end of the contract, but the company couldn't squeeze me desperately and gave me time to rest. At the same time, if I took on private work, the company couldn't interfere."

"I'm not quitting right away, but I'm taking my time."

"As long as you think there's no problem."

Lin Baicheng nodded. Yamaguchi Momoe has her life and career. He doesn't need to arrange these. He can't make the decision for Yamaguchi Momoe. After all, he and Yamaguchi Momoe can't even have a business relationship. Yamaguchi Momoe wants to leave. He can leave at any time.

"Cheng-kun, I want to turn behind the scenes, but I need your support."

Momoe Yamaguchi raised her head slightly and looked at Lin Baicheng's face. Compared to ordinary people, she was somewhat wealthy, but that money was not much at all, at least not enough to support her independence.

"As long as I can do it, I will definitely support it."

Lin Baicheng lowered his head and looked at Yamaguchi Momoe in his arms. Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. should be regarded as a toy for Yamaguchi Momoe. It is best to make it bigger and stronger. Even if it develops to the point where it has to inject capital again, it will be fine. Anyway, The investment is not big.

"Thank you, Makoto-kun."

Although Lin Baicheng had made a promise before, Yamaguchi Momoe was still very happy to hear Lin Baicheng say this now.

Lin Baicheng asked aloud: "You want to move behind the scenes, do you have any ideas at the moment?"

Yamaguchi Momoe said: "Yes, it was actually because of this incident that I decided to start turning behind the scenes."

"Tell me."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but become curious.

"A while ago, Director Kun Ichikawa came to me with a novel by Mr. Kawabata Yasunari and wanted to invite me to play the role of twins in the novel "Ancient Capital", with one person playing two roles."

""Ancient Capital" is a novella, which is quite famous in our country. Otherwise Master Ichikawa would not want to adapt this novel. After reading the novel and the adapted script, I decided to accept the invitation and play the role of the protagonist in the play. Two characters.”

"However, at that time, Master Ichikawa told me that I had not yet found the funds for the filming, but he told me not to worry. He said that the crew would soon find a co-producer. With Master Ichikawa's reputation, I have no doubt at all."

"At that time, I suddenly had the idea to invest in this film and use the filming time to learn how to be a producer and lay the foundation for turning behind the scenes in the future."

Yamaguchi Momoe told Lin Baicheng the outline of the matter.

Lin Baicheng asked: "So, have Ichikawa Kun and the production company of "Ancient Capital" agreed to jointly invest with Bai Huifeng Co., Ltd.?"

"I told Master Ichikawa about this, and he contacted the production company. The other party had no objection, but I said it would take a few days to reply to Master Ichikawa, so I haven't made a decision yet."

Yamaguchi Momoe replied, then stood up slightly: "Makoto-kun, the production cost of this movie will be about 70 million yen. Another production company will fund half of it, and we will fund the other half, which is 35 million yen."

"It's just 35 million yen. Keiko, you can make your own decision. You must know that you are the chairman of Bai Huifeng Co., Ltd."

Lin Baicheng immediately said that 35 million sounds like a lot, but the currency unit is Japanese yen, which is only 700,000 Hong Kong dollars when converted into Hong Kong dollars.

In Hong Kong, the production cost of a movie of HK$700,000 is already very high, let alone HK$1.4 million. However, the film market is different, so the production costs will naturally be different.

In Japan today, a film with a price of less than 1 million Hong Kong dollars can only be considered a small-budget film, a film with a price of 1 million to 2 million Hong Kong dollars can be considered a medium-cost film, and a film with more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars can be considered a huge investment.

The production cost of "Ancient Capital" is 1.4 million Hong Kong dollars, which is considered to be in the middle range among medium production costs. It can be said that it is neither high nor low, in the middle range.

"Although I say that, Cheng-kun, you and Iwasaki-san are the company's largest shareholders. For such a large investment project, without your consent, I don't dare to make the decision casually. What if I lose money? "

Yamaguchi Momoe couldn't help but shake her head after hearing this. Of course she knew that she was the chairman of Bai Huifeng Co., Ltd., but she only owned 20% of the company's shares. Regarding the company's major investments, she must inform Lin Baicheng and obtain Lin Baicheng's support before she dares to make it. Decide.

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but smile: "If you pay, just pay. What else can you do?"

"That's not okay."

Yamaguchi Momoe disagreed: "Since I have decided to turn behind the scenes and become a producer and boss in the future, the company's investment must make money. Occasionally, it is normal to have losses, and I can accept it, but if I If I lose money every time I invest, how can I do anything in the future? How can I still have the confidence to do things?"

"Keiko, you are so motivated, I will support you."

Lin Baicheng patted the beauty in his arms with emotion. Since Yamaguchi Momoe was motivated, he would naturally support her strongly, and at the same time, he also put away his indifferent attitude. To deal with Yamaguchi Momoe with this attitude was to treat her. Disrespectful.

"Thank you, Makoto-kun."

Yamaguchi Momoe smiled slightly. She needed Lin Baicheng's financial support, but she also needed Lin Baicheng's respect for his personality.

Lin Baicheng: "But Keiko, I'm really not familiar with your country's entertainment industry. If you want me to give you any advice, I really have no idea. The advice I can give you is to recruit the outstanding talents in the industry that you think Come to our company, whether you are a director or a screenwriter, after all, whether movies or TV series are made by people, it is relatively easier for excellent talents to produce excellent works."

"Cheng-kun, I have written down what you said."

Yamaguchi Momoe said: "But our company is still small now, and the company is not well-known now. It is basically impossible to recruit celebrities in the industry. So, this is what I think. In terms of film and television dramas, the company has been based on The main thing is to cooperate with other companies to invest in filming. It will not be too late to invest exclusively when the company gradually becomes familiar with the rules of the industry and the production of film and television dramas."

"As for records, singers can be trained by themselves, and I can give guidance to the company's artists. The company is responsible for record production, and cooperates with other large companies in terms of distribution. In the cooperation, the company will establish its own channels. Once the company has distribution channels, the record company will It developed in Japan.”

"Okay Keiko, what you said is really good."

Lin Baicheng looked at Yamaguchi Momoe in surprise, but he didn't expect that Yamaguchi Momoe was beyond his expectation.

"Cheng-kun, actually I'm not as powerful as you think."

Momoe Yamaguchi was a little embarrassed to be looked at by Lin Baicheng: "A lot of it was actually told to me by President Koji Ida. I thought it made sense, so I agreed to his development plan. You said so, Xiang Cheng-kun."

"Even so, Keiko, you are very powerful."

Lin Baicheng was suddenly enlightened and comforted Yamaguchi Momoe. He didn't want to hurt Yamaguchi Momoe.

Yamaguchi Momoe said solemnly: "I know I still have many shortcomings, but I will study hard."

"Well, work hard."

Lin Baicheng didn't say that it doesn't matter whether you work hard or not. He knew that this was what Momoe Yamaguchi wanted to hear.

"The movie "Ancient Capital" mainly depends on yourself. If you think it is good, then invest boldly. If you don't take this step, you won't even have a chance to learn, don't you think?"

"Um!"

Momoe Yamaguchi responded and said: "Master Ichikawa is a well-known director in his country. Although the commercial nature of "Ancient Capital" is not strong, I believe that with Master Ichikawa's ability, the film has a very high possibility of recovering the cost."

Lin Baicheng reminded: "Since you said that, don't hesitate anymore. Sometimes you should be decisive in taking action."

"Well, with your support, Cheng-kun, I feel much more at ease."

Yamaguchi Momoe nodded: "I will find time to contact Master Ichikawa and let Ida-san be responsible for negotiating the investment contract."

Lin Baicheng agreed and said, "Just make the decision and leave the specific work to the people below. This is good for everyone."

"Well, I understand."

Yamaguchi Momoe responded.

Time passed slowly as Lin Baicheng and Yamaguchi Momoe chatted.

When Lin Baicheng and Yamaguchi Momoe came to the villa, it was already evening, and Chiba Nanako was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV.

"Nanako, are you still there?"

Lin Baicheng looked at Chiba Nanako with satisfaction. In fact, it didn't matter that Chiba Nanako was not there. After all, he and Yamaguchi Momoe stayed upstairs for several hours, but it would be better if Chiba Nanako was here.

Chiba Nanako stood up and said: "I'm always here. If you have any needs, Chairman, I can do it for you as soon as possible."

Lin Baicheng smiled and said, "You don't have to follow me tonight. Today is Saturday, so go and have some rest."

"Okay, Chairman, Ms. Yamaguchi, I'll take my leave now."

Chiba Nanako said, bowed and walked out of the villa.

After Chiba Nanako left, Yamaguchi Momoe said to Lin Baicheng: "Would you like to call Matsuda over and let's go have dinner together?"

"No need, just the two of us."

Lin Baicheng knew that the Matsuda mentioned by Yamaguchi Momoe refers to Matsuda Seiko. Although he did not know what Yamaguchi Momoe meant by saying this, he knew very well what kind of answer he should make at this time.

Yamaguchi Momoe smiled and said: "It's okay. Call Matsuda over to have dinner with her. I want to get to know her formally."

Lin Baicheng still said: "I think the two of us can do it together."

Yamaguchi Momoe said sincerely: "Makoto-kun, I really want to get to know her formally. I think she won't mind getting to know me formally. She should be mentally prepared for this."

"Are you sure you're serious?"

Lin Baicheng looked at Yamaguchi Momoe seriously, wanting to know if she was joking.

"Of course I'm serious!"

Yamaguchi Momoe nodded solemnly.

"Since you said so, let me contact her. I hope I can contact her now."

Seeing Yamaguchi Momoe say this, Lin Baicheng thought she was serious and walked towards the phone.

Of course Momoe Yamaguchi is not testing Lin Baicheng. She knows very well that the possibility of her and Lin Baicheng entering into marriage is extremely low. The most she can do is be one of Lin Baicheng's women. She doesn't know if the two of them can leave in the end. Come together.

Yamaguchi Momoe knew that Lin Baicheng must have other women, among which Haruko Mouri was probably one of them, and Seiko Matsuda was definitely one of them, and Seiko Matsuda stayed in the same company with her. When she decided After turning behind the scenes, the two of them will meet more often in the future. Since they have to meet sooner or later, they might as well meet now.

Nowadays, mobile phones have not yet appeared, so it is actually very inconvenient for people to communicate with each other, even if there is a call machine, after all, sometimes they are not noticed.

Fortunately, Lin Baicheng contacted Seiko Matsuda. When Seiko Matsuda learned that he asked her to have dinner with her and would introduce another woman to her, she agreed with complicated emotions.

Matsuda Seiko knew that her relationship with Lin Baicheng was just a transaction, but she was still young after all. Unlike Yamaguchi Momoe who entered the entertainment industry early, she still had fantasies. Lin Baicheng fulfilled her fantasy of Prince Charming, whom she always thought Lin Baicheng was. Her prince charming, but now this fantasy is about to be shattered.

"Yamaguchi-senpai!"

When she saw Yamaguchi Momoe holding Lin Baicheng's arm, Matsuda Seiko was shocked. Yamaguchi Momoe was her idol, but she didn't expect that her idol had the same man as herself.

"Holy Son, can I call you this?"

Looking at Seiko Matsuda in front of her, Momoe Yamaguchi seemed to see her former self.

"Okay, Yamaguchi-senpai!"

After the shock, Seiko Matsuda couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised to see his idol. At the same time, the anger that originally arose towards the unknown woman also dissipated a lot.

At dinner this evening, Lin Baicheng basically didn't speak much, and quietly watched Yamaguchi Momoe and Matsuda Seiko chatting. The two women were very chatty and soon chatted together, like good sisters.

Lin Baicheng wasn't sure if the two of them were just being superficial, but even so, he didn't mind, as long as they were good sisters in front of him, as long as their relationship wasn't bad enough to start a fight when he wasn't around. Just to the extent.

As long as they are men, they all have the same thoughts as one dragon and two phoenixes, and Lin Baicheng is no exception. He very much hopes that Yamaguchi Momoe and Matsuda Seiko can really become good sisters, so that he can achieve this achievement.
