Chapter 56 New Life

While the whole of Hong Kong was arguing about the lawsuit between Jiahe and Luo Wei, "Scared" that had been filmed for 17 days was quietly completed.

However, early in the morning, Wang Jin and Li Xuan had to throw the film to the hired editor, and then the two quickly rushed to the Baptist Hospital in Bejiao Mountain Wallow.

However, Wang Jin's wife was about to give birth after ten months of pregnancy.

"Ah! Ah!"

There were bursts of screams from women from the delivery room.

Outside the door was Wang Jin who was walking around anxiously, Li Xuan, Zhong Chuhong and Wang Tianlin, who were sitting on the chair beside him, were all looking at him coldly.

Feeling the wetness and fear of the palm of your hand, Li Xuan tightened the little hand in his palm, turned to Zhong Chuhong and said, "Don't be afraid, at worst, we will have a caesarean childbirth, and that will not be like this... Hiss..."

Zhong Chuhong's other little hand was taken back from Li Xuan's waist, and he still gave him a blank look.

"Ahem!"

It was probably because of the couple's flirting that Wang Tianlin, who was sitting quietly, couldn't stand it anymore. He coughed awkwardly and asked Li Xuan: "Xuanzai, how is your movie?"

"I've finished filming, I'm doing the late stage." Li Xuan replied.

"That's good, that's good." Wang Tianlin nodded, looked at the anxious Wang Jin and continued, "It's okay to have you watching, otherwise, I wouldn't let this naughty green make trouble alone."

Wang Jin obviously didn't hear this sentence, and his attention was now all in the delivery room.

"Haha, Jin Zai is still very talented in directorial talent." Li Xuan replied with a smile: "By the way, Uncle Wang, Jin Zai's filming has no effect on you, right?"

After hearing this, Wang Tianlin leaned on the back of the chair and replied: "What impact can it have? Although Shao Laoliu has some objections to me, I will not be able to make movies anymore. Shaw Brothers can't take care of me. Besides, even on TVB, he is not the only one who has the final say."

"Oh, that's good!" Li Xuan nodded comfortably.

Unlike later generations who think of Shio Yifu when people mention TVB, the current chairman of the board of directors of TVB is not Shio Yifu, but Li Xiaohe of the Li Xishen family.

Li Xiaohe was born in Hong Kong in 1909. Li Xiaohe was the third son of Li Xiaohe, a core member of the famous "Li Xiaohe family" in Hong Kong. The Li Xiaohe is one of the four old families in Hong Kong, and is ranked alongside the Ho Dong, Fu Laorong and Luo Wenjin families. Li Xiaohe founded Hong Kong TV Broadcasting Co., Ltd., namely TVB, in 1967, and became the first chairman of the board of directors and has been re-elected since now.

When Li Xuan first came here, he often confused Wireless and Shaw Brothers. However, he soon found out that the boss of TVB is Li Xiaohe. Shaw Yifu is just a shareholder of TVB, while Shaw Brothers Pictures is Shaw Yifu's property. The current big bosses of the two companies are different and cannot be mixed together. Even TVB wants to go to Shaw Brothers studios to film, but like others, they have to pay rent to Shaw Brothers Pictures.

However, in recent years, Li Xiaohe has already planned to retire due to his age and physical discomfort. In addition, no one in the Li Xishen family wants to take over the TV station, Shao Yifu has become Li Xiaohe's first choice, so many of the matters on TV have been handed over to Shao Yifu.

I don’t know what impact these things will have on the future Wang family’s father and son.

"By the way, Xuanzi." Wang Tianlin suddenly asked, "Your horror movie was painted in other places, right? How is the box office?"

"Well, it's very good..." Li Xuan nodded with a smile.

At this time, Li Xuan finally understood a sentence - the box office of Hong Kong movies in other places is considered a big deal.

As "The Curse" was successively drawn in Japan and Southeast Asia, good news also poured towards Li Xuan. The total box office revenue in Southeast Asia reached more than 12 million Hong Kong dollars, although it was not as good as the top, but it was more than the bottom.

What made Li Xuan even more happy was that Japan's ration box office reached 320 million yen, equivalent to Hong Kong dollars, which is more than 10 million. What is ration box office? To put it simply, the remaining part of the movies after they have obtained their own money is the money that the producer and the Hong Kong and Japan distributors can share. According to this calculation, Li Xuan alone can get at least 5 million Hong Kong dollars in box office dividends.

No wonder some people say that Japan is the second largest movie box office market in the world after the North American market; no wonder Hong Kong shoots so many movies every day, although most of them lose money during screenings in Hong Kong, it still cannot stop the enthusiasm of those filmmakers!

However, it is not good to issue other places at all. It cannot be settled quickly like in Hong Kong. Li Xuan has to wait for about a month to get dividends. However, thinking about becoming a millionaire in one month, Li Xuan was still happy.

Hearing Li Xuan’s statement, Wang Tianlin nodded casually and said, “Depending on the situation, this movie circle is probably going to be more and more lively!”

It's getting more and more lively? Wang Tianlin had something to say, and Li Xuan hurriedly asked, "Uncle Wang, what's wrong? Is there any insider news?"

"Haha..." Wang Tianlin chuckled softly and said, "A few days ago, a few old friends gathered together. I heard that Lei Juekun, the helmsman of the Lei family, also wanted to do this business. These days, they have been discussing to take Lisheng Cinema back from Jiahe."

"Ah? Really?" Li Xuan asked in surprise.

Wang Tianlin didn't say anything, just nodded.

Who is Lei Juekun?

That is a famous Hong Kong rich man, mainly engaged in public transportation and real estate businesses. He is currently a director of Kowloon Bus Company and also owns the main equity of Kowloon Jianye with a net asset value of 2 billion yuan.

Moreover, this Lisheng Cinema was established by the Lei family, but this small theater with only four cinemas has been rented out to Jiahe for use over the years.

However, although Lei Juekun seems to have a great family and a great career, the troubles that come with it are quite a bit.

Lei Juekun's main business is Kowloon Bus Company, but four years ago, the Hong Kong government implemented a profit control plan, stipulating that Kowloon Bus annual profit return rate should not exceed 16%. It also supports new bus companies, which has caused Hong Kong's bus companies to rise from two to five. These unfavorable things happened one after another, causing Kowloon Bus stock price to fall into a long-term weakness since then.

As for the Lei family holding Kowloon Jianye, there is actually another Wu family that also has a lot of shares in it. Now the Lei family and the Wu family are fighting openly and secretly in the company, and the Kowloon Jianye Group may have a major earthquake at any time.

Lei Juekun, who was upset by these things, was attracted by the strong growth in the movie box office over the years. He was interested in entering the film industry and contacted other retail cinemas everywhere, preparing to form a large theater that can compete with Jiahe Cinemas and Shaw Cinemas.

However, Li Xuan was surprised at this time, but he knew that Lei Juekun was the boss of the later Princess Jin Cinema and the behind-the-scenes driver of the famous New Art City Film Company. It was this Princess Jin Cinema, which later made Jiahe and Shaw Brothers team up and lost in a terrible defeat.

Now Lei Juekun is going to set up a theater chain, isn’t he the Golden Princess in the later generations?

"ah!"

Wang Jin suddenly shouted interrupting Li Xuan's deep thoughts.

Looking at Fatty Wang with an anxious face, Li Xuan said, "Sit down, it's useless to be anxious. Moreover, what if you scream so loudly in the delivery room and scare your wife?"

"Ah? No way?" Fatty Wang finally realized that he had just gotten upset about his mistakes, so he hurriedly sat on the chair beside him.

Li Xuan shrunk his mouth disdainfully and said, "Nothing can happen, just be quiet..."

"Ah--!" A huge scream suddenly came from the delivery room.

Wang Jin was so scared that he jumped up from the chair, and Li Xuan and the other two also stared at the door of the delivery room without moving.

The whole space seemed to have quieted down.

Two seconds later...

"Wow--"

A loud baby cry broke the silence.
