It was already eight o'clock at night when he returned home. There was no one in the living room. Ling Aotian suddenly felt very lonely. There was no one in the big, empty room. Ling Aotian threw himself onto the bed and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. His mind was filled with Wen Bixia's soft body and Li Zhi's seductive face…
After a long time, Ling Aotian finally fell asleep. In his dream, Zhao Yazhi and Zhong Chuhong strangely appeared. They were in a seemingly beautiful place. That place seemed to be an island with blooming flowers. In the distance, the water and the sky were magnificent. Lin Wei proudly hugged Zhong Chuhong with his left hand and Zhao Yazhi with his right hand. His mouth was sucking Zhao Yazhi's Peak of the Jade Maiden. His little machine was in Zhong Chuhong's... hands, being ravaged by Zhong Chuhong…
It was morning in Hong Kong, and it was the peak hour for work. People waiting for the bus found that the bus running on the road was no longer so monotonous. The vivid images were refreshing.
People began to discuss. They gave high praise to the public announcement on the bus. They also began to be interested in this " Nightclub." This was the effect that Long Aotian wanted, to make people walk into the cinema with interest.
"What's the matter, blowing our busy man over?”Hong Jinbao looked at Ling Aotian who walked in and put down the documents in his hand as he teased him.
"Isn't there a saying in the martial arts world? If you need anything, just look for Big Brother Hong. I'm not here to ask for help.”Ling Aotian didn't mind at all. He clapped his hands and teased her again.
"You little mouth, tell me what's the matter?”Hong Jinbao had never been a long-winded person, and he would not be long-winded towards his own brothers.
"It's all about the movie. Now that the movie has been shot, you know that I don't have any distribution channels, so I can only ask Brother Hong for help.”Ling Aotian understood Big Brother Hong's character, so he did not beat around the bush and said directly.
"Right now, the streets and alleys are filled with your promotional posters. I don't know what's wrong with your brain to even think of this method. I've already talked to Boss Zou about the distribution of the movie. He agreed that the movie can be screened in Jiahe, but your company can only take 35%.”Hong Jinbao smiled in admiration. He picked up the contract on the table and handed it to Ling Aotian.
" Big Brother Hong, thank you so much. I really don't know what to say." Ling Aotian didn't expect Hong Jinbao to have already settled this matter. He hugged Big Brother Hong excitedly and didn't know what to say.
"Don't say anything if you're a brother.”Hong Jinbao laughed as usual and patted Ling Aotian's back.
After leaving Baohe Company, Ling Aotian rushed to New Arts City without stopping. If he wanted to release the movie in Hong Kong, New Arts City was indispensable. After leaving Baohe Company, Ling Aotian rushed to New Arts City without stopping. If he wanted to release the movie in all of Hong Kong, New Arts City was indispensable. Ling Aotian had submitted scripts to New Arts City in the past without asking for any compensation because of this. It could be said that he was preparing for a rainy day.
There were currently five major cinemas in Hong Kong, Shao's, Golden Harvest, and New Arts City each controlled one. However, the Golden Princess cinema chain in New Arts City was actually controlled by Lei Kaitai. At first, Golden Princess was just an inconspicuous art cinema chain. In the end, after Lei Kaitai acquired it, he merged with a large number of other independent cinemas. Together with the movies of New Arts City, he suddenly became the most powerful cinema in Hong Kong. The Golden Princess had a total of 43 cinemas and five major cinemas. It could be said that it had penetrated into every golden downtown area in Hong Kong.
When future generations mentioned Hong Kong movies, they would definitely mention the New Arts City Film Company, which played a leading role in the most glorious decade of Hong Kong movies. New Arts City was at its peak, and it was also the peak of Hong Kong movies.
In the 1980s, the New Arts City Film Company had single-handedly forced the old oligarchs, Shao and Jiahe, who were like fire and water, to join forces to fight against the New Arts City. This showed how powerful the New Arts City was at that time.
At that time, Hong Kong movies were also a three-pronged competition, making Asia the market for Hong Kong movies to wreak havoc and make money. Even Europe was affected, and Hollywood was also defeated in Hong Kong.
Ling Aotian remembered that even after the bombardment of Hollywood's big productions in the 1990s, if it weren't for the decline of Hong Kong movies, he could foresee that Hollywood movies wouldn't have swept the world's movies like that!
In this era, the influence of Hong Kong's movie stars far exceeded that of later generations. It could be said that they covered Asia and reflected Europe and the United States. At that time, a world tour would be a real world tour. Unlike in the later generations, singing in Hong Kong and Beijing once was considered a world tour!
Now that New Arts City had been established for almost two years, Brilliant Film Company had also completed its initial stage and was now in the rising stage!
Ling Aotian looked around at the various staff members who were rushing past. He looked at the twenty-story building in front of him and took a deep breath. He walked into the building confidently. Among the many signboards, he found New Arts City Film Co. Ltd.
"Sir, who are you looking for?" Seeing Ling Aotian walk out of the elevator towards her company, a delicate girl with light makeup and eyeshadow on her face, wearing a typical light gray shoulder pad suit from the 1980s, stood up from the front desk and greeted Ling Aotian with a sweet voice.
This delicate girl's eyes were constantly looking at Ling Aotian, her eyes filled with curiosity. New Arts City had been established for more than two years and had a lot of business. This was the first time she had seen someone come to her door without taking anything. This made the girl curious.
"Hello, may I ask if Mecca is in your company? I'll have to trouble you to help me inform them.”Ling Aotian smiled and revealed his clean white teeth.
"Sir, do you have an appointment?" The receptionist asked politely.
"No, I haven't." Ling Aotian said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, sir. I can't let you in without an appointment.”The receptionist smiled.
"Beauty, it doesn't matter. Just say that Ling Aotian is here. It has nothing to do with you whether you call him in or not.”Ling Aotian did not make things difficult for the receptionist and took the initiative to explain.
"Hello, manager, there's a man called Ling Aotian outside. Mr. Ling wants to see the boss.”The receptionist asked," Yes, I understand. I'll get it done immediately."”
The " beautiful lady " really worked. It made the receptionist blush. The receptionist had called Ling Aotian and brought him into the company.
When Ling Aotian walked into the company, he realized that the New Arts City company was really huge. Along the way, he saw many staff working non-stop. Overall, it was bustling. It was indeed a big film company. The big companies in the future were just like this. Ling Aotian did not attract anyone's attention when he walked in. It was obvious that everyone was used to it. Everyone was busy with their own things.
The receptionist sent Ling Aotian to the office door and stopped walking. She looked at Ling Aotian with a smile and said shyly," Sir, this is our boss Mecca's office. Please come in."
"Thank you, beautiful." Ling Aotian smiled and nodded at the lady. Ling Aotian's words made the girl shy. She only felt that the big boy in front of her smiled very naturally and confidently, making her feel a little shy.
Watching the girl leave quickly, Ling Aotian pushed the door open and walked into Mai Jia's office.
As soon as Ling Aotian walked in, he was surprised to see the seven-member creative team consisting of Mai Jia, Shi Tian, Huang Baiming, Xu Ke, Shi Nansheng, Zeng Zhiwei, and Teddy Robin. This shocked Ling Aotian and he couldn't help but gasp.
The seven members of Struggle were all here. Could this be the legendary Struggle? However, in the information of the later generations, the Struggle Room should be a villa in Mecca, right? Was there a misunderstanding? Ling Aotian thought in confusion.
The gathering of seven people surprised Ling Aotian, but his eyes still scanned the structure of the office. The office was very simple. There was a dark-colored solid wood desk, a milky white printer on top of the office, and a small bookshelf behind it. It was a mess. Other than books, there were also some certificates, photos, and car models. It was very messy, but one could tell what the owner liked.
Ling Aotian could tell from the photo that Mecca was a man who valued his family and liked cars. From the certificate, it could be seen that Mecca had received honors from New York University.
Mecca and the other six people were sitting on the dark sofa smoking, frowning and thinking hard about something. When they suddenly saw Long Aotian walk in, the seven of them looked over in surprise and curiosity.
"You must be the famous Mr. Ling Aotian. May I know why you're looking for me?”Mecca rubbed his bald head and asked Ling Aotian with a smile.
Mai Jia looked at the man with an extraordinary temperament in front of him. Ling Aotian gave him a very strange feeling. He felt that this young man in front of him was not ordinary. Although he looked reserved and deep, it was as if there was a sharp blade hidden in his calm body.
Seeing that Mecca asked, Shi Tian, Huang Baiming, Zeng Zhiwei, Xu Ke, Shi Nansheng, and Teddy Robin also stared at Ling Aotian. They didn't know what this young man wanted, so they all looked at Long Aotian with confusion. The seven of them looked at him in unison. Immediately, a kind of pressure pounced on Ling Aotian. However, Ling Aotian's expression did not change. He still looked natural and carefree. His temperament was indifferent, causing the eyes of the few of them to light up.
The seven of them gathered together for next year's script and began to communicate. This was also the most famous " seven-person group " in the future. The seven of them would only collide with each other, and one by one, creative scripts would appear. Who would have thought that these seven people would bring a " big bang " to the Hong Kong film industry? Excellent films were quickly formed among these seven people. Even future generations of film makers had to admire the efficiency of the Hong Kong film industry at that time.
"As you know, my movie has already been filmed, and the problem of screening it hasn't been resolved yet.”Ling Aotian looked at Mecca's bald head and said expressionlessly.
"Then let's talk about the movie's release.”As the CEO of a company, Mecca had a strong sense of business. He directly stood in the position of a businessman and spoke.
"Then let's have a good talk." Ling Aotian also returned to his position as the CEO and said.
"There are two types of shares between the theater chain and the production company. The first is to add a certain share on top of the fixed rent. The second type was that the production company would take 70% of the box office sales in the first week of the movie's release, 60% in the second week, and so on. Which method did you choose?" As the boss, Mai Jia was very clear about the company's operations, so she said it clearly and logically.
Ling Aotian didn't object to Hong Jinbao's choice of cooperation. He couldn't reject Hong Jinbao's enthusiasm. Second, Ling Aotian knew that Hong Jinbao must have done a lot of work for his movie. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the newly established company to get such a high share.
"Then I choose the second method of cooperation.”Ling Aotian was very confident in his movie, so he chose the second method without hesitation.
