Qin Di came out of Phoenix City and came to the Little Red Building of Baida Company.

At this time, EDA Company was preparing to resume work, and all the singers who had signed a long-term contract had returned and were holding various concerts.

Qin Di called Zhou Tianlin and Li Jinhui, and the three of them closed the door and held a small meeting.

Qin Di said: "I want to integrate my resources and open a large entertainment company, including movies and music. The company is called 'Baida Entertainment'. The headquarters is set in Hong Kong and the branch is located in the Magic City."

Li Jinhui was surprised: "Mr. Qin, have you been rebelling? The Demon City is the largest city in the Far East, and Hong Kong is far inferior to this one."

Qin Di smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry about this for now, just say I'm going to open a film company and audio-visual company in Hong Kong. Do you help me think of a solution and how can I do it?"

Zhou Tianlin said: "Music is easy to deal with, I am familiar with all the processes. As long as I have funds, I can go to Hong Kong in person and build another company similar to this one."

Li Jinhui said: "Mr. Qin, if you really want to make a movie, I recommend two capable people to you. They are two brothers, named Li Beihai and Li Minwei respectively."

Qin Di said: "Then tell me, where do these two people come from?"

Li Jinhui said slowly: "Although we are all surnamed Li, we have a long relationship. I am from Hunan and they are from Guangdong. In 1913, Li Beihai directed the first Hong Kong short film "Zhuangzi Tests Wife" and served as the male lead Zhuangzi. He also served as the manager of the first All-China Zimin New Film Company in Hong Kong, and jointly established the "New World" in Hong Kong's first cinema with his brothers. In 1925, he wrote and directed himself, and acted in the Hong Kong first feature film "Rouge". In 1930, he became the director of the Hong Kong studio of Lianhua Film Company and the director of Lianhua Actor Training Institute.

The reason I recommend him is because he is a film art educator and is considered a living fossil in the film industry! He has many disciples, such as Mai Xiaoxia, Zhu Puquan, Xu Menghen, Xue Zhaorong, Li Jianxian, Li Tie, Huang Dai, Shi Youyu, Chen Wuyang... and other screenwriters, directors, actors, setters, producers... As long as you can ask him to come out, it will be very simple to start a film company!"

When Qin Di heard this, he immediately became interested: "Then what happened to him later?"

Li Jinhui sighed and said, "Making movies is very expensive and cannot guarantee money. Li Beihai founded a film company, set up a cinema, cultivated film talents, spent his money and devoted his life to Hong Kong's film industry. After filming the film "Bo Xing" in 1934, he withdrew from the film industry mainly because he had no money and no longer had financial strength, so he came to work in film production.

After he quit the film industry, he made a living by running a snack bar in Hong Kong. In July 1937, he was invited by his brother Li Minwei to come to the Magic City to make a comeback. However, just one month later, Japanese guns and cannons destroyed the film company. Li Beihai is still in the Magic City and lives in poverty…”

Qin Di said: "Please help me introduce it. I want to invite him out of the mountain."

Li Jinhui said: "Okay, this person is a little older, but his love for movies remains the same as before."

"It doesn't matter if you are old. As long as you can help me for a few years, you can set up the shell of the company."

"Mr. Qin, I still don't understand why you want to build a film company in Hong Kong?"

"This...it will take two years to explain..."

Qin Di wanted to set up a film company because he was unwilling to retire completely and wanted to master a public opinion media. Moreover, if he lived in Hong Kong for half of his time, and had no company in his hands, he only knew how to speculate in real estate, and it would seem a bit strange.

Just imagine: The famous young master Qin caused trouble everywhere he went, so how could he fall to the point of being nameless?

Of course, he only cares about investment and will not interfere in specific matters.

Two days later, he invited Li Beihai and Li Minwei in a restaurant, and Li Jinhui was accompanied by Li Jinhui.

Li Beihai has big ears and wears a pair of glasses; Li Minwei has the same square face, but he does not wear glasses.

Both of them are older than Qin Di, about ten years older.

Because Li Jinhui had already communicated in advance, the two sides hit it off. Next, they mainly listened to how much funds Qin Di was preparing to spend and what specific requirements he had.

Qin Di said: "I don't know how much it costs to set up a film company. I'm going to invest $20 million in advance. Is it enough?"

Li Beihai took a deep breath: "Enough, more than enough!"

Qin Di said: "I want to ask two managers and deputy managers to be the minimum salary of US$200,000 each year. In addition, if the company makes a profit, you can also get additional dividends. According to the common program of Qin's enterprise, the dividend ratio accounts for 30% of the profits, but you two can only share 1% together, and the rest will be distributed to the staff below."

Li Minwei smiled and said, "This treatment is already very good, and we are very satisfied. But I don't know what kind of movie Mr. Qin wants to make?"

"It's mainly commercial movies. I don't have any specific requirements, you can do it."

"What if I lose money?"

"If you lose money, I will continue to replenish your capital. Don't worry, as long as the director you invited is filming seriously and exerts his creativity, I can bear the loss for twenty years." Qin Di said in his heart: "I have 8,000 tons of gold in the bottom of the box, and I won't be afraid even if I lose for 100 years!"

The Li brothers nodded secretly and thought to themselves: "I am worthy of being the richest man in the Republic of China, but I am indeed rich and powerful."

Qin Di looked at the faces of the two and frowned slightly inadvertently because he had already seen that neither of them was a long life, and the remaining life was not much.

Because it was his first meeting, it was hard for him to just click it out, and he would not use ginseng to extend his life to the other party.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Li Beihai began to speak more: "I am old and can't make movies myself. I can only help you support the scene, find various personnel, build a film company, and then formulate various rules..."

Qin Di smiled and said, "This is exactly what I want. I heard that you know a lot of directors and producers, so please help me."

Li Beihai smiled and said, "In 1924, I founded the "Minxin Actor Training Institute", in 1928, and in 1931, I opened two periods of the "Lianhua Film Actor Training Institute". I taught about 200 apprentices, but some of them no longer worked in films, and those who stayed behind were outstanding... Shi Youyu, Chen Wuyang, Hu Yixing, Tang Xingtu, Feng Jiezhen, Ye Renfu, Zeng Chaowu, Chen Qirui..."

He spoke his names slowly, his face full of joy, and he could not see the image of poverty in recent years. As a great artist, he naturally has his own character, his poor man has a strong ambition, and his horse has a longer hair.
