Chapter 35 Forming the Oriental Film Company

Tsang immediately raised his hand: "I can, I can pull Shi Nansheng over to build the company's skeleton. She is a senior film publisher in Hong Kong and the best film company manager in Hong Kong. She has good relationships with major companies and major cinemas."

"Brother Tiger, if you are interested in forming a film company, I have a very good script here, called "A Comic to the World", which should be an urban comedy suitable for Zhou Xingxing. I think it's very interesting."

Liu Zhengwei couldn't help but speak, glanced at the sunglasses king who pretended to be a master next to him, and finally put forward his own conditions: "I hope to become a contracted director and my good brother. He is definitely a very talented director, and his ability is more than ten times more than me."

Lu Hang looked at the two of them silently;

This is a piece of steamed bun and a piece of cake!

Liu Zhengwei is undoubtedly a very talented director. He has collaborated with Zhou Xingxing in many popular films, including the box office defeat "A Chinese Odyssey", a genius commercial director who can bring stable returns to the company.

His guidance style is similar to Wang Jing. The so-called bottom line is that there is no bottom line, and everything is measured by commercial elements.

That's why Liu Zhengwei was able to direct films such as "The East is the World", "The Gambling Saint", "The Black Rose vs. Black Rose", and "A Chinese Odyssey", leaving his own mark in the Hong Kong film industry.

His achievements are much inferior to the King of Sunglasses.

The problem is that the King of Sunglasses is a huge pit. This guy is so at ease that he can make investors feel at ease. How many investors are forced to hang themselves?

"No hurry to do this, the company's horoscope has not yet been drawn." Lu Hang used the word "drag". Anyway, Zeng Zhiwei is well-known in the circle. How willing do you have to be to sign the King of Sunglasses?

"Brother Tiger, do you think I can do it?" Jacky Cheung came up with a humble face and took the initiative to recommend himself: "I am not a picky person at all, and I am very confident in singing. Now I lack a chance. I have no problem with my acting contract at Wireless. They don't pay attention to me at all."

"And I..." Zhou Xingxing took the lead.

"Okay, OK."

Lu Hang waved his hand and said to Zeng Zhiwei: "If you have time in the past two days, you can go to Hong Kong Huanya Company. There are several offices available there, which is just right to arrange the organization and register a film company to sign some artists."

"What's your name?"

"Uh...Hong Kong Oriental Film Company."

"Don't worry, I will make arrangements to recruit talented people into the company, and I will not put all the cats and dogs in." Zeng Zhiwei smiled like a flower.

"Well, just say that."

The general matter was finalized in a few words at the banquet table. It was so casual and simple and crude to set up a film company in Hong Kong.

Managers, directors, and actors’ scripts are not a problem. The most important thing is to invest in large water hose.

Joey Wong and Cherie Chung, who have not spoken for a long time, are both actresses who are popular in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. If their family knows their own affairs, the company will never let go of their acting appointments, and it will be useless to say it.

Hong Kong actresses generally have much lower pay than male stars, and few can get millions of pay.

Among all the female movie stars, Anita Mui is able to get a million-dollar pay because of her status as a big sister in the music industry, which is the highest level.

The following are popular actresses such as Joey Wong, Brigitte Lin, Zhang Min, Maggie Cheung and Sylvia Son, with a salary of about 600,000 to 700,000.

After starring in "A Chinese Ghost Story", Joey Wong is so popular that she can get 800,000 yuan in her film pay.

In the next stage, there are some outdated actresses such as Cherie Chung, the beautiful women Kwan, Shuzhen, Chau Haimei, and Li Zhi. The pay is about 400,000 to 500,000, which will only be lower or higher.

The male star is different. Brother Long claims to have a pay of over 10 million yuan, which is a bit exaggerated, but there are definitely seven or eight million yuan, and the box office will be divided.

Those who can get this treatment are the only one in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

Popular young actors Chow Yun-fat, Leslie Cheung, big brother Sammo Hung, and Thousand-faced laughing craftsman Xu Guanwen all pay a movie of four million, which is considered the top level.

Andy Lau, Tony Leung, and Alan Tam are about one to three million. The specific one depends on relationships and film investment. These are all hot celebrities in the Hong Kong film industry who can hold the box office.

Even the old actors, such as Xie Xian, Wu Yaohan, Zheng Zeshi, Wu Mengda and others, had a pay between 300,000 and 600,000 yuan, almost catching up with first-line actresses.

The meal was held until the end of the night, and the framework of the Oriental Film Company was roughly established.

Lu Airlines is responsible for paying money and first takes out millions of company frameworks to build them. All specific matters will be taken over by veterans in the circle. Currently, it is determined that Zhou Xingxing and Jacky Cheung will be signed first to create a video for them.

"A Comic Travels to the World" proposed by director Liu Zhengwei has officially entered the sight. If there is no accident, this popular film directed by Liu Zhengwei, which became popular once it was released, officially confirmed Zhou Xingxing's nonsensical performance style and will be released in advance.

The butterflies in the Amazon jungle flapped their wings, and a storm formed over the Pacific Ocean a month later. Actions that affected the historical trajectory quietly began, and no one knew what would happen in the future.

The next afternoon

Standard Chartered Bank Headquarters

Luhang and his bank were sitting opposite the bank's senior management, and Arthur Raymond, the manager of the major account department, said enthusiastically:

"Standard Chartered Bank is an excellent bank with a century-old history and is committed to providing customers with excellent value and excellent financial services. We have passed your loan request through professional and prudent verification procedures for the guaranteed assets provided by Hong Kong East Asian companies. I believe that this is the beginning of a wonderful cooperation."

"Hong Kong East Asia Company is a fashion beverage company with patented intellectual property rights all over the world. It is currently promoting milk tea products worldwide and can receive strong support from Standard Chartered Bank. We are optimistic about this and are willing to establish a long-term friendly and cooperative relationship with Standard Chartered Bank."

"Please rest assured that Standard Chartered Bank can provide global personal butler services."

"Mr. Arthur, we have high expectations for this."

The two sides made final confirmation on the large dollar loans of Bank of East Asia in Hong Kong. Standard Chartered Bank keenly realized the patent value held by Huanya Company, and it is very hoped to open up a fashion beverage market with huge development potential.

If you look at the hundreds of milk tea shops blooming everywhere in Hong Kong and Macao, and your business is getting prosperous, you will be surprised to find that this fashionable beverage market contains infinite business opportunities.

The success of Boba Milk Tea brand authorization in Hong Kong and Macao also strengthened the confidence of Standard Chartered Bank.

The Hong Kong and Macao brand authorization alone sold HK$447 million. So what about the Southeast Asian and Japanese and Korean markets? What about the broader developed European and American markets?

The loan application form includes Huanya Company's rigorous development case, including the promotion case for the European and American markets. It was this point that impressed Billy King, head of the credit department of Standard Chartered Bank, and made him smell the strong smell of money.

This was a US$30 million loan in 1988, and even for a multinational bank with a long history like Standard Chartered Bank, it is definitely not a small number.

After coming out of Standard Chartered Bank, Lu Hang loosened the tie on his neck and felt that his breathing was much smoother. He was in a very good mood.

Accompanying him to the Finance Department Director Lin Bosch, who was once a senior accountant at Ernst & Young Accountants, had a happy family and children, and was poached through a headhunting company.

After all, Hong Kong Huanya Company was founded by the mainland aviation industry, and it is impossible for He Zhanhui to develop his own power. Since ancient times, checks and balances among the superiors have been the king, which is an irrefutable truth.

The correct posture is to supplement it with a clear and clear modern company management system and use systems to restrict managers' behavior.

The traditional family management method, hoping to brainwash employees with loyalty, will not work in the new era. For the sake of profit, even couples turn against each other, brothers become enemies, and expect an outsider to be loyal and determined to the company. That would be such a brainless idea.

"Brother Bosch, this $30 million loan will be received as soon as possible. The company's next development will be available soon. What's the situation with the real estate agency?"

"Boss, after more than half a month of operation, the real estate broker has reached an agreement with several owners. Currently, five shops on Russell Street in Causeway Bay have been negotiated, and you can pay the transfer of the property at any time to the lawyer's house. There are two more owners who are more difficult to deal with, so we haven't negotiated it yet."

"Let's transfer these five stores first, pay 30% of the money in your hand, and apply for a loan from Standard Chartered Bank."

"Okay, boss, the total transaction amount of these five shops has reached 217 million yuan, and 30% of the down payment is about 60 million Hong Kong dollars. Is it paid from the company's existing funds?"

"Yes, the original planned property investment of 60 million yuan and the additional 5 million yuan from the latest business payment, isn't it a problem?"

"No problem, the recent business payment has reached more than 30 million, and I'll get five million to sprinkle water."

"Okay, that's it."

Russell Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, is a street that is only 250 meters long, and is later praised as the most expensive street in the world. It is located in the most prosperous downtown area. There are only 29 shops in total, which can be said to be worth every inch of land.

Lu Hang was attracted by the fat businessman's investment preferences, and immediately searched for shops to be sold through real estate brokerage companies, and bought them all and waited for appreciation.

Now he has seven shops in his hand. The largest one has 1,100 square feet and the smallest one has 610 square feet, and the annual rental income generated by more than 10 million.

The two shops in talks are the shop kings of Russell Street. The owners demanded a premium of 30%. The total price of the two shops is as high as 112 million yuan, so they have not been discussed.

The loan was not yet completed, so Luhang was not in a hurry.

One day later

Lu Airlines took the Cathay Pacific airliner with its finance director Lin Bosch and other entourages, soared into the sky and headed towards Singapore.

The short flight landed without feeling anything. It took about half an hour before and after, and the passenger plane had landed steadily on Singapore Changi International Airport.
