Hilton Taipei Hotel.
There were four people standing at the door of a room like a door god, two on the left and two on the right, each standing in a cold face without striking the river.
These four "door gods" are Kang Jianfei and Yang Dengkui's bodyguards.
The atmosphere in the room was much more harmonious. Kang Jianfei and Yang Dengkui were chatting and laughing with wine glasses, as if they had never seen each other again.
"Mr. Kang is amazing. "The Story of Truman" has won more than 40 million yuan in box office. It is the box office champion of Taiwanese Chinese movies this year," Yang Dengkui gave a thumbs up. "In two days, "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer: The Oriental Unbeaten" premiered, and Miss Lin Qingxia will definitely win if she takes off."
People carry people in the flower sedan chair, Yang Dengkui praised Kang Jianfei hard, and Kang Jianfei naturally had to say a few good words back: "Mr. Yang has been running a TV station and a film investor in the past two years, and he is also a great market."
"Haha, compared to Mr. Kang, I can only be considered a small fight." Yang Dengkui said modestly, but he was quite proud in his heart.
Because President Chiang's death was amnesty, Yang Dengkui was released from prison. In a few years, he already had a TV station and a film and television investment company. The producer of "The City of Sadness" was also won the Venice Golden Lion Award. A man from a gang can achieve such achievements in the entertainment industry in just a few years. Yang Dengkui's methods are still superior.
However, there is also a little embarrassment. Yang Dengqin was awarded by the Taiwan News Bureau for winning the Golden Lion Award. As a result, he was arrested by the Taiwan police's "Second Qing" anti-gang operation a year later. He was charged with serving as the leader of the Tiandao League Kaohsiung City, operating an underground casino, etc.
Yang Dengkui, who seemed to be proud of himself, was actually released from the cell for less than half a year. And he had already entered the palace for the third time.
Kang Jianfei put the mouth of the wine bottle over Yang Dengkui's cup, and the latter hurriedly protected the mouth of the cup with his hands. Kang Jianfei said: "I am going to establish a Taiwan branch of Dongshi Company in Taipei. It specializes in producing TV series and variety entertainment programs. Mr. Yang has a TV station in his hand, so he needs to take more care of his business."
"It's easy to say. The programs produced by Mr. Kang's company must be of high quality and excellent quality." Yang Dengkui agreed with a smile. All he had was a cable TV station, and most of the programs played were purchased from outside, as long as the price was reasonable, everyone would buy the same.
Yang Dengkui's figure was very low, and his attitude towards Kang Jianfei could even be described as respectful. But the more low-key and modest Yang Dengkui was, the less Kang Jianfei dared to underestimate it, because the dog that really bites people does not bark.
Ten years ago, Yang Dengkui was arrogant and domineering, and dared to send someone to Hong Kong to force Lin Qingxia to shoot a movie, as if he was a dragon crossing the river. In order to give Yang Dengkui a warning, Kang Jianfei even had to invite the Xiang brothers to the banquet to support the scene. Finally, he used the name of Xin Yian to scare the other party.
At that time, Yang Dengkui was just released from murder and was young and energetic. No one took it seriously. Now ten years have passed, Yang Dengkui has been imprisoned three times and has regained his freedom. He has become low-key and easy-going. Those who don’t know think he is just an ordinary old man.
But Yang Dengkui is still a leader of the Heavenly Dao League. Behind his glamorous and low-keyness, he also runs several nightclubs and underground casinos, and is even more of a local emperor in Kaohsiung.
Now Yang Dengkui is like a sharp knife back into the sheath. It looks inconspicuous at first glance, but if you are not careful, the knife will be bloody.
It is a good thing for cooperative workers to be skilled in their methods. They want to build theaters in southern Taiwan. Most people can't help them. Moreover, Yang Dengkui now knows how to hide his edge, so he will definitely work hard to whitewash in the future. Kang Jianfei doesn't have to worry about the theaters in which they cooperated with him being affected by Yang Dengkui's identity.
After three rounds of drinking, Yang Dengkui was already a little dizzy when he drank, so Kang Jianfei pulled him to the cinema: "The box office in the southern region has grown rapidly in the past two years."
"Is that?" Yang Dengkui said with a warm face. "In the first 40 years, the government has been developing the north and the south. Thanks to President Chiang Kai-shek's efforts to resolutely repair the North-South Expressway. The economy in the south gradually kept up. In recent years, the south has developed greatly, and the people have money, so there are naturally more people watching movies."
Kang Jianfei said: "I heard someone tell a joke that a 1,000-seater cinema in the south can accommodate 5,000 viewers."
Yang Dengkui's eyes lit up and he asked, "Mr. Kang wants to invest in a cinema in the south?"
Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "I have this idea."
"Good vision!" Yang Dengkui slapped his thigh and praised, "These major courtyard merchants in Taiwan are all staring at the box office in the north, and they don't even pay attention to the central government. They are really short-sighted."
It is not as short-sighted as Taiwan’s major theater chain companies, there are GMD party-run companies and private companies.
For party-owned companies like China Film Group, the chairman is changing like a revolving lantern. Now that he has been in office for nearly ten years and is about to resign. Will he spend money and energy to build a new cinema in the south and give his next great contribution in vain?
As for private theater companies, the reason why they do not invest heavily in theaters in the south is very simple, that is, their conditions do not allow it. Most private theater companies are joint-stock franchise theater companies. It is even more difficult to throw a large amount of money into the southern region that shareholders are not familiar with.
"I wonder if Boss Yang is interested in cooperating?" Kang Jianfei asked with a smile.
Yang Dengkui smiled and asked back: "What kind of cooperation method?"
"I plan to invest NT$500 million to build a cinema in the south." Kang Jianfei looked at Yang Dengkui and waited for his reply.
Yang Dengkui thought for a long time and said, "I invested NT$100 million and wanted 35% of the shares."
Kang Jianfei shook his head: "Too many."
Yang Dengkui said: "Mr. Kang, you are famous leftists in the eyes of the Taiwanese authorities. I need to deal with the government. I will settle the affairs on the road. This is also my invisible investment."
Kang Jianfei did not intend to retreat: "But if theaters want to make a profit, my film source is very important."
The two of them had their own opinions and bargained like buying cabbage. Finally, they allocated their equity to the agreement. Yang Dengkui invested NT$150 million and could own 30% of the company's shares.
In addition, Kang Jianfei has some theaters that have joined the China Cinema Line. If these theaters want to leave China Cinema and merge into a new company in the future, then the equity will be re-discussed and distributed.
Speaking of which, Kang Jianfei had just the right time to cooperate with Yang Dengkui. If it were Yang Dengkui who was in high spirits last year, today's cooperation intention would be difficult to achieve. This guy would definitely speak out.
But now it is different. Since Yang Dengkui was imprisoned at the end of last year, his TV stations, movie distribution companies and movie investment companies have suffered setbacks. Most of the capable employees have left, leaving only some people who are scrambling to die and are reluctant to leave to get their wages. His cable TV station even stopped broadcasting for a while.
After Yang Dengkui was released from prison for half a year, his company only introduced and released two Hong Kong films, and there were even fewer Hong Kong films invested in and produced only one.
In another time and space, the reason why Yang Dengkui's Judeng Company made a comeback was that he happened to meet Li Lianjie's agent being shot and killed, and Li Lianjie himself was also in a slump because he was involved. At this time, Yang Dengkui extended a helping hand and paid to help Li Lianjie form Zhengdong Movies, and successively made hits such as "Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu" and "New Shaolin Five Ancestors".
Yang Dengkui's move not only saved Li Lianjie who fell to the bottom of his career, but also saved his own Judeng Company. In this time and space, Li Lianjie made good films at DreamWorks, so naturally it was not Yang Dengkui's turn to work with Kang Jianfei to obtain the source of DreamWorks. This is what he dreamed of.
Kang Jianfei needs Yang Dengkui’s connections in Taiwan and the ability to deal with troubles, while Yang Dengkui needs Kang Jianfei’s Hong Kong film source. The two of them take the needs and hit it off. Whoever invests a little more money is the second.
After the two of them finished their business, they only had little chatting for the rest of their time.
Kang Jianfei accidentally remembered Xie Jinyan in the shooting group. It seemed that her father Zhu Geliang was signed under Yang Dengkui.
Kang Jianfei said: "I heard that Boss Yang has a very powerful host named Zhu Geliang?"
Yang Dengkui was puzzled and tentatively said, "Is there such a person? Mr. Kang is interested in him?"
Kang Jianfei did not hide it and said, "That's right. This time I came to Taipei. I personally created a girl singing group. One of the members is Xie Jinyan, and her father is Zhu Geliang."
"Oh. You mean the little girl who was in middle school," Yang Dengkui actually had an impression of Xie Jinyan. He said, "Last year I invested in a movie called "Young Master Being a Soldier". This movie was starring Zhu Geliang. His daughter Xie Jinyan also played a role in the movie."
Kang Jianfei said: "I heard that Brother Zhu Liang is good at gambling?"
"If you don't say it's good, I'll have a headache when I talk about it. If this person continues to bet, he will be unable to save him." Yang Dengkui shook his head repeatedly.
Ten years ago, Yang Dengkui was extremely domineering and had the control of Zhu Geliang. Xu Bulai waited for a group of local artists. At that time, Xu Bulai had developed into Taiwan's number one comedy star. Yang Dengkui was afraid that Xu Bulai would not be able to escape from his own control, which eventually led to Xu Bulai's death from torture.
The reason why Zhu Geliang is addicted to gambling is also counted as Yang Dengkui. Yang Dengkui used methods to lure Zhu Geliang to gamble in his underground casino. Zhu Geliang, who owed huge amounts of gambling funds, naturally could only succumb to him.
However, after being released from prison for the second time, Yang Dengkui began to restrain himself and became much more tolerant of his artists, and rarely used shameless means.
But Zhu Geliang no longer needs others to tempt him. He has become addicted to gambling for ten years, and he has thrown all the money he earns in the casino, and he has even owed a lot of debt outside.
Who can imagine that a big star will live by borrowing money, and the daily expenses at home require more to be borne by his wife's hard work.
Yang Dengkui used to try every means to lure Zhu Geliang to gamble, but now he has a headache about it. Because Zhu Geliang is not only popular in Taiwan, but just selling video tapes can earn a lot of money for Yang Dengkui.
However, because of his addiction to gambling, Zhu Geliang's acting status has become increasingly deteriorated in the past two years. Sometimes he even gambles and forgets to work. Yang Dengkui sent people to the casino several times to catch Zhu Geliang back to the set to film.
After Yang Dengkui talked about Zhu Geliang's situation, he advised: "Mr. Kang, don't mess with that guy. No matter how much money you lend him, you can lose. I'm too lazy to care about it now."
Xie Jinyan, the future Taiwanese electronic music queen, is also a tragedy for having a gambling dad.
"Haha, I just ask casually." Kang Jianfei grinned, revealing a few white teeth. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
