Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

"Mr. Lin, I am honored to receive your personal invitation. I am willing to join Star Pictures."

Among the five, Huang Baiming was the first to express his willingness to join Star Pictures.

Different from Mecca, Hung Kim Pau, Wu Yusen and Zeng Zhiwei, Huang Baiming is just a screenwriter, and he mostly worked in the TV industry in the past few years. He only entered the film industry as a screenwriter the year before last, and his current reputation is not that great. , so the big boss Lin Baicheng personally invited it. The future of Star Pictures is also bright, so he has no reason to refuse.

For Huang Baiming, this is a rare opportunity and his opportunity.

"You are welcome to join. From now on, the company's screenwriting department will be managed by you."

Lin Baicheng was very happy when he heard this. Among all the people invited this time, Huang Baiming was a screenwriter. Although Huang Baiming filmed as an actor in TVB in the past few years, his appearance limited his development prospects. He mainly worked as a screenwriter.

Lin Baicheng had seen many movies written by Huang Baiming in his previous life, so he knew that Huang Baiming was a well-known screenwriter. Many of the scripts written by Huang Baiming were very popular when produced. Although screenwriters have a lower status in the film industry than directors and actors, the importance of a good script is unquestionable.

"Thank you Mr. Lin!"

Huang Baiming immediately changed his title. He felt that his choice was indeed the right one, and he suddenly became the department head of Star Pictures.

"The company has just been established and it's the time when we need talents like you, so you deserve this position."

Lin Baicheng waved his hand. As long as Huang Baiming's ability is the same as in his previous life, it is natural for Huang Baiming to manage the screenwriting department. But if Huang Baiming's performance is average in the next one or two years, then he can naturally replace him.

"What do you say?"

Lin Baicheng looked at the remaining four people.

"I'm sorry Mr. Lin, I need to think about it."

Hong Jinbao apologized. He had been in Jiahe for about seven years, and he had some feelings. Moreover, he was not alone. There were many people eating with him. He needed to discuss it with other people. He couldn't do it by himself. Decide.

"It's okay, just think about it and give me an answer within a month."

Lin Baicheng nodded. He still valued Hong Jinbao very much. In the Hong Kong film industry in the 1980s and 1990s, Hong Jinbao could definitely be regarded as a generation star, so he said: "Mr. Hong Jinbao can consider bringing the entire Hong family together." Ban left Jiahe and established a company together. It would be better if it could become a subsidiary of Xingchen Pictures or let Xingchen Pictures take a stake."

There are many famous actors in the Hong Family Class in the 1980s and 1980s. For example, the superstar Cheng Long is now in the Hong Family Class, and Lin Zhenying, who has made a lot of zombie movies, is also in the Hong Family Class. It can be said that the current Hong Family Class The class is full of talents.

Letting the entire Hong family class break away from Jiahe and cooperate with Star Pictures not only increases its own strength, but also weakens the opponent's strength. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

"I need to think about it and discuss it with them."

Hong Jinbao couldn't make a decision for a while. The benefits of cooperating with Star Pictures were very obvious. No matter which way the cooperation was done, there were benefits. But he had stayed in Jiahe for many years, and if he left like this, he always felt like he was betraying Jiahe, and he felt a little guilty.

"After all, this is a major matter, and it is normal for it to need to be considered and discussed."

Lin Baicheng nodded and said nothing more. What should be said has been said, and there is no need to say more.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin. Thank you very much for the invitation, but I'm having a good time in Jiahe and I'm not planning to change jobs for the time being."

Wu Yusen expressed his apology. His film "Fa Qian Han" last year won the runner-up at the box office and is now very valued by Golden Harvest. Therefore, Golden Harvest treated him very well. He thought that if he made a movie, he would be valued by Golden Harvest, so he did not have to Leave Jiahe and go to a new company.

"Mr. Wu can think about it again. If you really insist, I won't force it."

Although Lin Baicheng was a little pity, he would not force Wu Yusen. After all, there are many well-known directors in Hong Kong, and Wu Yusen was not required. Not to mention it was just Wu Yusen, even if everyone invited today refused, Lin Baicheng would only feel pity instead of lowering his face and inviting them multiple times. With his current wealth and status, there is no need to do that.

"I will. Thank you Mr. Lin for the invitation. I will take my leave now."

Wu Yusen stood up and said he would think about it again, but he said goodbye. Apparently his attitude was still relatively firm.

Lin Baicheng and Wu Siyuan tried to persuade him to stay and asked Wu Yusen to finish his meal before leaving, but Wu Yusen insisted, so they didn't force him.

"Mr. Lin, thank you for your consideration. I am willing to join Star Pictures, as long as the company can support me and let me be the director and shoot the film."

Zeng Zhiwei said out loud that he only joined Golden Harvest the year before last and was mainly a director, screenwriter and assistant director. If Star Pictures could let him become a director, he would be very happy to join Star Pictures.

Lin Baicheng said immediately: "I can make you a promise here. As long as you join Xingchen Pictures, the company will give you three opportunities to be a director and shoot films. But the opportunity is given to you, but if you direct these three times, you will be able to make films." The film can’t make a profit, and if you don’t seize the opportunity, then you can only become an assistant director, slowly accumulate experience, and wait for the opportunity.”

"Thank you Mr. Lin, I won't let you down."

Zeng Zhiwei was overjoyed when he heard this. If he still couldn't make the film profitable after three opportunities to be a director, he might as well give up on being a director as soon as possible. If you were at Golden Harvest or another film company, if you wanted to have three chances, don't even think about it. After failing once, the possibility of getting a second chance is very low, let alone a third chance.

"Just work hard."

Lin Baicheng nodded and looked at Mecca, who was the only one who didn't express his opinion.

"Mr. Lin, I want to cooperate with Star Pictures through the film company. I will consider the specific method of cooperation after I return."

In fact, Mecca had already established a film company with other filmmakers in 1973, but it closed down due to poor development. He wanted to cooperate with Star Pictures through the film company so that he could make more money.

Cooperation is definitely necessary, and this is also an opportunity for Mecca, but he needs to think carefully about which way of cooperation is better.

"As long as you are willing to cooperate. As for the method of cooperation, you can consider it slowly. There is no rush."

Lin Baicheng was very happy. He was still deeply impressed by this bald man in many movies he had seen.

Furthermore, Mecca was one of the three giants of the New Art City Film Company, which was originally established in 1980. Huang Baiming is actually one of the three giants of Xinyi City. The remaining one, Lin Baicheng, doesn't have much impression. I just remember that he seems to be an actor.
