The world of Xiangjiang has always had its rules, but it was destroyed by Lin Wei.

Lin Wei's actions were crazy. Zou Wenhuai, who was crazy enough to Jiahe Company, thought Lin Wei was crazy. Because Lin Wei did this, he was simply an enemy of the tycoons in Xiangjiang. Therefore, Zou Wenhuai felt that there would definitely be a big shot to tell Lin Wei not to be so crazy. Then, Zou Wenhuai guessed the front but did not guess the ending. The tycoons in Xiangjiang who were famous did have any objections to Lin Wei, but Xiang Huaqiang, who was sent out to warn or negotiate with Lin Wei, changed his mind after going to Lin Wei. The next day, it was the powerful Xiang Hua who came to Jiahe Company.

No one knew what Xiang Huaqiang and Zou Wenhuai said. After Xiang Huaqiang left Jiahe Company, Zou Wenhuai was silent all day long. Finally, he sighed and found He Guanchang, and said to his best friend and assistant: "Let's negotiate with that kid."

He Guanchang did not ask why Zou Wenhuai was. He could see that Zou Wenhuai's expression was a little sad. He knew that Zou Wenhuai was at the time of ambitiousness, but God made a monster like Lin Wei, which forced Zou Wenhuai's ambitions to turn into smoke and clouds. This was a sad thing. Even He Guanchang himself was also sad.

Because they lost, they lost inexplicably, those who broke the rules were not punished, while those who abide by the rules were defeated. What's wrong with this world? He Guanchang was a little unresolved. He found that the era of Xiangjiang seemed to be changing quietly, which made his previous experience somewhat uncomfortable.

He Guanchang silently accepted Zou Wenhuai's order and called Lin Wei. When he heard He Guanchang's call, Lin Wei smiled. This was not a proud smile, but a sense of enlightenment in his heart. Xiangjiang movies have embarked on another path different from their previous life. Although this path cannot understand the future, Lin Wei believes that the Xiangjiang movies on this road should go further and more brilliantly than their previous life, and at least they will not decline in just a dozen years.

Lin Wei took Zhao Yazhi and a small negotiation team to meet Zou Wenhuai. This was a conference room of Jiahe Company. Zou Wenhuai sat in the main seat of the conference room waiting for Lin Wei. Seeing Lin Wei coming, Zou Wenhuai did not stand up: "Boss Lin, it really corresponds to the old saying, heroes are young. I really underestimated Boss Lin at the beginning, but I didn't expect Boss Lin to be so powerful."

"Uncle Zou. I am not as powerful as Uncle Zou, you think. The reason for this situation is not my ability, but other people's ability. I just happened to encounter the opportunity." Lin Wei smiled and sat down in a row on the right side of the conference room. In the row on the left, He Guanchang and others were sitting. They were all senior executives of Jiahe Company.

"Maybe it was because of the wrong timing, but no matter what, I lost this time, because I didn't see the opportunity. Let's talk about it, if Jiahe's theater chain was incorporated into Xiangjiang theater chain, what benefits could you give Jiahe?" Zou Wenhuai directly pointed out the topic. He looked at Lin Wei's young and childish face, and felt that he seemed to be really old, no longer had the ambitions he had before, and no longer had the courage to do everything.

"Uncle Zou, this is the film screening system implemented by our Xiangjiang theater company. Although Jiahe's theaters are incorporated into Xiangjiang theaters, it is not only not harmful. It is still very beneficial for Jiahe. At least, the movies we filmed in Xiangjiang in the future do not need to fight each other. Second, we can better coordinate our screening capabilities outside of Xiangjiang and promote our excellent movies in Xiangjiang to the outside world. I know that Uncle Zou, you are very powerful outside of Xiangjiang, and the channels for screening are very wide. But Uncle Zou, have you ever thought that your channels are ultimately in the hands of others, especially in places like North America, where is a big market for movies, but where can we get in Xiangjiang movies? "Lin Wei said, while handing a stack of documents to Zou Wenhuai.

After Zou Wenhuai took the document, he did not read it immediately, but asked: "What are your plans for the North American film market? I heard that you will join the films of your companies before the end of next year to show in North America."

"Actually, there are no good plans. Uncle Zou, my plan is very simple. That is, within next year, I will buy at least one hundred large and medium-sized cinemas in North America to form a preliminarily spread across North America. I don't want it to make money. I just want to let our Xiangjiang movies know, and at the same time, let the whites and blacks in North America get used to the model of our Xiangjiang movies and the aesthetic views of our Oriental people, just like we have accepted and admitted that Monroe is a beauty.

I also hope that in their eyes, they can finally admit that Lin Qingxia is a beauty. This is a process that takes time and cannot be changed in a short period of time. At the same time, this also requires that we, Xiangjiang, continue to make excellent movies to attract audiences in North America. Therefore, Uncle Zou is not saying anything. Not all movies that join film companies can be screened in North America, but those excellent movies can be screened in North America. Use them to open the North American film market bit by bit."

Zou Wenhuai looked at Lin Wei, his eyes constantly changing. He did not expect that the young man who was less than 20 years old in front of him had such ambition. To a certain extent, this ambition was simply a delusion. There are a few filmmakers in Xiangjiang who would not want to enter North America, but that was such a far-reaching dream. When Zou Wenhuai was established, he had been thinking about this dream. For this dream, he had shed so much sweat and hard work. However, until now, Xiangjiang's films still want to enter the North American market. The young man in front of him actually wanted to attack the North American film market in such a direct and barbaric way.

"I'm afraid, even if I have my own cinema chain in North America, it's not easy for Xiangjiang's movies to enter North America. You know, except for the different cultural aesthetics of the East and the West, our Hong Kong film technology is also behind others." Zou Wenhuai was silent for a while before he said. The North American film market is his dream that he has worked hard for more than ten years. No one can understand better than him how difficult it is to open the North American film market. He doesn't think that it can be achieved by just having money to buy a cinema chain.

"Yes. Our Hong Kong film technology is indeed lagging behind Hollywood. These backward filmmakers need all of us to work together to catch up. At the same time, we should also see the advantages of Xiangjiang, such as the advantages of Xiangjiang in action. In this regard, the whole world is lagging behind Xiangjiang, Uncle Zou. In fact, it is not difficult to impose our Hong Kong films into North America. As long as there is enough funds, we can use a lot of funds to dig up the talents we need, and we can use a lot of funds to cultivate the market we need. Of course, then again, we really don't have that much money. I can use money to buy some cinemas. I can also use money to dig up some talents, and I can do just that. Others need other filmmakers in Hong Kong to work together."

Lin Wei's words finally touched Zou Wenhuai and asked, "So, are you thinking about unifying the film power of Xiangjiang? But have you ever thought about whether Xiangjiang's film market will lose its original vitality after it is unified?"

"Our Xiangjiang is just a little big, and our Xiangjiang filmmakers basically rely on this little market to survive. It seems that they are very prosperous now, but it is just a flower in a flowerpot. It is difficult to grow into a towering tree. In addition, the current Xiangjiang film market is in chaos and it is not enough to compete with each other. The problem is that they are following the trend too strong, which makes this small market shrink faster. If this continues, before the mainland film market becomes huge, our Xiangjiang film industry will be at a dead end. Uncle Zou, you should understand that I am not a pure filmmaker. I have many other industries. When it comes to making money, I really don't like the movie industry now. However, I like movies, and movies that like Xiangjiang can prosper forever, and I like people all over the world like our Xiangjiang films."

Hearing Lin Wei's words that almost confessed his feelings, almost everyone in the conference room looked at Lin Wei. Zhao Yazhi, who was sitting beside Lin Wei, had gentleness, praise and respect. Maybe others would not believe Lin Wei's words, but Zhao Yazhi would definitely believe it because she knew that Lin Wei was indeed very profitable in other aspects. Times Film Company is no longer a profitable company in Lin Wei's hands. Among others, Times Film Company is very prosperous, but compared with other companies under Lin Wei, he is behind. However, Lin Wei spent the most thoughts on it. It can be imagined that he really likes movies, or he is really the only one who likes movies for the sake of profit.

Zou Wenhuai also knew that Lin Wei's words were not silly, because Lin Wei had too many other money-making industries. He was definitely not a filmmaker, but he was definitely a person who likes movies. Therefore, Zou Wenhuai also felt that Lin Wei's words were a bit sincere. Recognizing this, Zou Wenhuai's perception of Lin Wei began to change: "So, can you guarantee that Xiangjiang's movies can continue to maintain its vitality? If it cannot be guaranteed, then what else can you talk about entering the North American film market."

"How to guarantee that the document in your hand, Uncle Zou, explains it all." Lin Wei said with a smile.

Zou Wenhuai nodded and began to look at the documents in his hand. Zhao Yazhi stood up and distributed the same documents to He Guanchang and the others. Several senior officials of Jiahe stopped talking and looked at the documents seriously. The main content of the documents was that after the cinema of Xiangjiang Jiahe Company was merged into the Xiangjiang Cinema, Lin Wei became the chairman, Lei Juekun became the general manager of Xiangjiang Cinema (this was Lin Wei's condition that he had promised Lei Juekun before), Zou Wenhuai was the vice chairman, and in addition, there were also He Guanchang and Shao Daheng (after Shaw Brothers Film Company was merged into Times Film Company, Shao Daheng had some shares in Times Film Company and Xiangjiang Cinema), Zhao Yazhi, Wang Jing (Zhao Yazhi and Wang Jing have few shares, but Lin Wei could not be the commander of the board of directors).

Another main content of the document is that the screening system of the Xiangjiang theater chain, whether it is Times Film Company, Jiahe Company, or Princess Jin Company, must be screened in the preview. The preview has a good reputation and is screened for ten medium and large cinemas. If the preview has a bad reputation, it will be screened in those small cinemas. If the box office is good, it will be screened in Xiangjiang. If the box office is good, it will be screened in the North American region if the movie has a good box office performance when the movie is good at the small cinemas, it can also be screened in large and medium cinemas. The movies with the top 20 box offices in Xiangjiang throughout the year will have the opportunity to enter North America for screening.

At the end of the document, there are seven guilds in the film industry, the first is the Actors Guild, the second is the Directors Guild, the third is the Screenwriter Guild, the fourth is the Martial Arts Guild, and the fifth is the Photography Guild. The sixth is the Makeup Artist Guild, and the seventh is the Film Industry Practitioners Guild, and a Screenwriter Award Fund is established. This award fund is linked to the Film Awards. Anyone who is shortlisted for the Best Screenwriter can get a generous amount of funds. The reason why Lin Wei did this is.

Because of the current situation in Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang does not lack excellent directors or even excellent technicians, but the screenwriter industry lacks talents, or rather, it is not lack of talents, but the film industry in Xiangjiang does not attach too much importance to screenwriters. Many directors do not look for screenwriters when making movies, but they write and direct themselves. For example, Wang Jing, if it weren't for Lin Wei's appearance, he would be a person who likes to write and direct the most. Because he does not attach too much importance to screenwriters, Xiangjiang will eventually lack excellent scripts.

The document also stated one point at the end, that is, the Xiangjiang theater chain will never participate in the matter of the Golden Star Awards. As for how to ensure the fairness of the Golden Star Awards, Lin Wei did not mention it in this document. After reading the document, Zou Wenhuai sighed. He could see from this document that Lin Wei's purpose of unifying the Xiangjiang film industry was not to make money by himself, but to the Xiangjiang film industry. Although it cannot be said that he is completely selfless, it is sincere for the development of the Xiangjiang film industry. Zou Wenhuai knew from this document that although there was a Lin Wei pressing on him in the future, for Jiahe Company, the interests were not only not damaged, but also gaining more benefits. Jiahe Company's films, because of the unified Xiangjiang theater chain, can obtain maximum benefits and squeeze out the last little benefits of the Xiangjiang film market.

As for the screening system of Xiangjiang theaters, Zou Wenhuai does not think that the movies produced by their Jiahe Company will fall to the same as those small film companies. Moreover, Zou Wenhuai also knows clearly that this screening system will effectively prevent the movies that have bad box offices from occupying theaters. In general, the better your movies are, the greater the benefits you will get. If you want to shoot certain subjects with others, you must have your follow-up works excellent enough, otherwise, even the small cinema will not be released.

After putting down the documents in his hand, Zou Wenhuai was silent for a while and said, "In general, this is a good system. In principle, I agree to incorporate the theaters under our Jiahe Company into Xiangjiang Film Company. For specific negotiations, you can talk to Guanchang."

"Haha... Uncle Zou, then we will be our own people in the future. On the Xiangjiang Cinema, I will let Zhao Yazhi represent me and Lei Juekun attend the negotiations. Now, there is probably nothing I have to do here." Lin Wei stood up and smiled.

"So, should those news reports be removed?" Zou Wenhuai smiled bitterly and stood up. In this negotiation, Zou Wenhuai had to sit down to negotiate because of the endless news reports. Although the final result satisfied him very much, the feeling of being forced to do it was very uncomfortable.

"Of course, otherwise, that elder brother Xiang would be very angry." Lin Wei smiled and left the conference room with Zou Wenhuai, leaving He Guanchang and Zhao Yazhi and the others to continue negotiations. Zou Wenhuai invited Lin Wei to his office. In front of Zou Wenhuai, Lin Wei started to issue an action to stop news and public opinion in his office by phone.

After calling one by one, Lin Wei smiled and said to Zou Wenhuai: "Uncle Zou, the rest are not something I can control. Brother Xiang should tell you that people in one aspect have taken action because of dissatisfaction with the chaos in Xiangjiang. If this public opinion storm is completely calmed down, it will take some time. In addition, if they do this, I still have to owe them favors. Later, I have to find a way to repay this favor. Speaking of which, I am at a loss."

"You deserve it. Who told you to ignore the rules of the Tao like this? I said A Wei, since you call me Uncle Zou, then I have to say to you, be a human being, you can't show off like this. Especially for business people like us, we pay more attention to the principle of making money. It is not a good thing that you offend so many people this time." Zou Wenhuai looked at Lin Wei. As a business rival, he naturally had no good feelings. Now as a collaborator, seeing Lin Wei respect for him from beginning to end, Zou Wenhuai's sense of Lin Wei has also changed. Zou Wenhuai is willing to make friends with such an excellent person.

Lin Wei humbly accepted Zou Wenhuai's advice, and after talking to Zou Wenhuai for a while, he said goodbye. Zou Wenhuai sent him out of Jiahe Company. Looking at Lin Wei's back as he left, Zou Wenhuai sighed and thought, this person will be the entertainment boss of Xiangjiang in the future. I hope he can really bring Xiangjiang's film industry into North America.
