"Invest in New Art City?" Cai Zhiliang has not considered it. After all, Xu Ke is in New Art City, but now that New Art City needs money and people, what can Cai Zhiliang do?

When Zhao Shuo asked about it at this time, he said: "Of course I have considered it. Although Xinyi City was overwhelmed by Jiahe last year, you have also seen this year's situation..."

Judging from the recent best partner, tens of millions of dollars, there is no company short of money.

Zhao Shuo disagreed and said with a smile: "If I said that New Art City made a loss last year, would you believe it?"

"Loss? You also said before that New Art City had three of the top ten grossing movies last year. How could it be possible that it was a loss?" Cai Zhiliang shook his head with an expression of disbelief.

In the 1980s, since the establishment of New Art City, the situation has forced Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest to work together to protect themselves. They should not lose money anyway.

Zhao Shuodao: "Xinyi City is now a big business. There are more than a dozen movies made every year, and there is even a record company. But the annual operation costs at least tens of millions. How can we not lose money?"

Without waiting for Cai Zhiliang to speak, Zhao Shuo said to himself: "Back then, the Seven Monsters of Xinyi City once suppressed Jiahe and Shaw Brothers, so they had no choice but to join forces to protect themselves. But now, they are full of contradictions and they have gone their separate ways.

.So much so that Xinyi City has lost its former glory.”

Cai Zhiliang was silent for a moment and said: "I have also heard what you said. Zeng Zhiwei joined Hong Jinbao's Baohe Company. Although Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng established a film studio, they did not leave New Art City. They seemed to be interested in New Art City.

It won’t have any impact, right?”

Zhao Shuo smiled and shook his head, saying: "Although Xu Ke Studio still belongs to New Art City in name, in fact, it has nothing to do with New Art City. It is directly responsible to Princess Golden Entertainment. And Teddy Luo Bin

, have rarely participated in creation. And the three giants of Xinyi City, Mecca, Shi Tian, ​​and Huang Baiming, are also somewhat inseparable due to equity issues."

"Equity?" Cai Zhiliang really hasn't paid attention to this aspect.

Zhao Shuo explained: "As we all know, Xinyi City has been helmed by three people, Majia, Shi Tian, ​​and Huang Baiming, since its establishment. However, Huang Baiming accounts for 9% of Xinyi City's equity, Shi Tian accounts for 19%, and Princess Jin and Mai

Jiahe accounts for 72%. Among the 72% of the shares, Princess Jin accounts for 51% and Maijia accounts for 49%. In other words, among the three, Maijia is the leader, and Huang Baiming is the least. If things go on like this, how can there be no problems?

Of course, there are historical reasons for this. The predecessor of New Art City was Endeavor Film Company, a company that Mecca had absolute control over. But it’s different now..."

"It's really different. We don't worry about the scarcity but the inequality." Cai Zhiliang thought.

Then Cai Zhiliang asked: "Does New Art City need outside investment? According to your evaluation of Debao, Princess Jin's boss Lei is not short of money, right?"

Zhao Shuo was not very sure, and said: "I can give it a try. With an investment of three million, I think there will be people interested in coming to New Art City."

Cai Zhiliang nodded and said, "You can focus on visiting Xu Ke's studio. I'm still very optimistic about Director Xu's works."

Zhao Shuo said: "I don't have much dealings with Director Xu, but Shi Nansheng used to be the housekeeper of Xinyi City, so we have some friendship."

At this time, Xu Ke did not have the status of future generations, but he was already a top-selling first-line director.

"Then I'll just wait for the good news."

After the two discussed some specific matters, Zhao Shuo left.

After sending Zhao Shuo away, Cai Zhiliang suddenly fell into ecstasy, delighted that his plan to make a fortune had taken another step forward.

If you can invest in one or two of Xu Ke's movies, you won't make a fortune. If you can become a long-term partner, it will be like climbing a money tree.

Of course, large-scale productions of more than 10 million yuan are unnecessary. Cai Zhiliang does not want to be cheated and go bankrupt. Just like the previous "New Shushan Swordsman", it is said to have a cost of 20 million yuan, but the final box office was only more than 15 million yuan. It is simply

It's terrible.

However, for films with a cost of less than 10 million, this is not a big problem. Of course, with Cai Zhiliang's current financial resources, investing several million is already the limit.

Before the excitement had passed, something happened to the newspaper office the next day.

Early in the morning, as soon as Cai Zhiliang arrived at the newspaper office, Bao Guowei slapped a stack of newspapers on his desk.

"What is this?" Cai Zhiliang picked up the newspaper and asked while reading it.

"Read it yourself, the novel version..." Bao Guowei pointed at the newspaper in Cai Zhiliang's hand and said.

Cai Zhiliang turned to the novel section and saw a novel about tomb robbing. However, this was not surprising. After all, there were many people following the trend. He browsed briefly, looked at Bao Guowei and asked, "What's wrong with this newspaper?"

"That's from the day before yesterday. Look at yesterday's." Bao Guowei's face was full of anger.

"What are you doing..."

Cai Zhiliang sat down slowly, turned to today's page, glanced at it a few times, jumped up from his chair, and asked: "Isn't this the novel we are about to serialize? How come it was published by another newspaper?"

Bao Guowei, a gentle man, also cursed loudly: "We have already investigated and it was that bastard Huang Yong who did it."

"Where is Huang Yong now?"

"I resigned last week, but I didn't expect to go to the Mong Kok Evening News with my manuscript. Alas... the serialization of Tomb Raiders Notes will end in three days." This is what Bao Guowei is worried about. If the series of Tomb Raiders Notes is too late, there will be no

As new novels are added, or the quality of the novels deteriorates, it is estimated that the sales volume of 35,000 copies per day will be unsustainable.

Cai Zhiliang paced back and forth and asked, "How are the sales of this Mong Kok Evening News?"

Bao Guowei sneered and said: "Less than 3,000 copies are not as good as our sales a year ago."

Cai Zhiliang was still thinking about writing, but he didn't expect that he was a porcelain. Seeing Bao Guowei's angry look, he persuaded: "Uncle Bao, the novel is easy to talk about. I have three days to prepare."

Bao Guowei sighed and said, "I just can't swallow this breath."

Huang Yong has been in the newspaper office for several years, and his performance has always been good. Bao Guowei intends to support him. It is said that deep love means deep hatred. Today, I heard that Huang Yong had rebelled, and I was extremely angry.

"Dong dong dong..."

Hearing the knock on the door, Cai Zhiliang knew who was outside without thinking, and shouted loudly: "Come in."

Sure enough, more than one or two people outside the door, including the deputy editor, as well as the heads of the news department, circulation department and other departments, obviously knew about Huang Yong's defection with the manuscript.

In the past, when the newspaper was half-dead, it could only get by with less than 5,000 copies per issue. Now the newspaper's sales have reached more than 30,000, covering the entire Kowloon area, and even radiating to the New Territories and Hong Kong Island.

A prosperous atmosphere.

Now, everyone in the newspaper office finally had some hope, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Huang Yong's defection. They became panicked and came together to find Cai Zhiliang for advice.

Cai Zhiliang had previously conceived of Tomb Raider Notes, which caused the newspaper's sales to skyrocket, and unknowingly it had become the backbone of everyone.

"Let's go to the conference room and discuss it together." Cai Zhiliang quickly made a decision.

"Everyone?" Bao Guowei asked.

"It's just us."
