"We have an absolute democracy here. Everyone can express their opinions. Now, who is against this matter, I agree with it?"
Wu Changyun asked everyone back.
No one said a word. Seeing that no one was building up momentum for him, Mr. Qi naturally accepted his loss.
Xing Mumu's three views were a little shaken. It turned out that this is how the Film Association works. Is anyone who becomes the president of the association like a mountain king?
Moreover, his face of making money is too direct. Xing Mumu didn't expect Wu Changyun to be such a person. She really misjudged him.
"Do you think the boss brought you here for a trip?" Tony Leung glanced at Xing Mumu. Compared to himself when he first entered the industry, she was a little too naive and thought things were too beautiful.
"I'm not."
"Then watch carefully and learn well."
Tony Leung also had good intentions, just like the feeling when Wu Changyun brought him here for the first time.
"Why is this happening?" Xing Mumu still couldn't understand.
"Do you think these guys are good people? You're overthinking it. Boss Wu won't make things difficult for those who are serious about making movies." Tony Leung said in a low voice.
Among those present, Wu Changyun had a mirror in his heart. He could easily check whether anyone had a clean background or not.
Those who make imitations, third-level and R-level films, and those who only focus on the overseas market are not serious people.
Only companies like Zijing Film Company, although Huaan Wu Changyun has also investigated this young man, are not without a story.
Those companies that really want to do things seriously will generally not be involved in the association's supervision. The projects that need to be controlled are those that are somewhat risky, and they are still rampant despite repeated bans.
Can Category III films be banned? Absolutely not. As long as they can generate huge profits, people will continue to invest in them.
If small companies do it, big companies will not be willing to suffer losses, which is why there are self-censorship organizations like the Film Association.
"The second draw."
Wu Changyun threw in five notes from Golden Harvest, so that the one who drew the note would get the first information about Golden Harvest's new film. In fact, among these notes, Golden Harvest's was the most popular.
There are eleven companies in total taking the stage this time, so at least half of the people will not be able to get a chance.
Liu Renguang, dressed in white, looked like the master of a large mansion. He was wearing silver-white buttoned silk satin embroidered with cranes and other things.
Liu Renguang rubbed his hands. This draw was worth around one million Hong Kong dollars, and anyone would be a little nervous.
Wu Changyun saw that he was the first to come up, so he said, "Boss Liu, I wish you good luck."
"I'd like to thank President Wu for his kind words."
Liu Renguang counted carefully and found that Wu Changyun had a total of eight characters. According to the agreement between the two, the even numbers should be on the left.
Liu Renguang reached in, touched a pile of paper balls, and picked up the one on the far left.
“Hit!”
Liu Renguang held the paper ball in his hand with an excited look on his face.
"Congratulations, Boss Liu."
"Thank you, thank you President Wu for giving me this opportunity."
Liu Renguang was happy, but the people waiting below the stage had ugly expressions. There were only five in total, and if he picked one out now, they wouldn't even have to draw lots later.
"Okay, next one."
According to Wu Changyun's arrangement, three of the eleven companies have already been designated, but the actual probability is only one in four.
When Old Mo came up, he just put his hand in as if pretending to do something, and then he directly took out a "中" with red words written on it. The number of notes in the box didn't even decrease.
Then the same thing happened to the last person who was chosen. Except for the first time, Wu Changyun would stir the box again after each draw, and during this time he could grab the extra notes.
Each family received 200,000 yuan, and the most generous Mr. Mo directly gave 350,000 yuan. The money was divided equally between the association and Jiahe, which was also Jiahe's intention.
Golden Harvest's counterfeiting is so serious that insiders leak information every night, and there are even cases where films submitted for review are sold directly before they are approved.
This is the case for Golden Harvest, one of the industry giants, let alone those small companies.
The reason for all this is some old gangsters in Hong Kong, who have always spoken with their fists.
Wu Changyun calculated that he had earned nearly one million yuan, which was really a great achievement.
It is true that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. He earned millions effortlessly just because Wu Changyun is at the juncture of money flow.
After several rounds of drawing lots, no one who came up won the prize. The probability of one in four is really a bit low. In the end, there was no winning note in the box at all.
I have to say that Golden Harvest’s creativity is really strong, and they are very good at creating new things.
Especially the down-to-earth ones.
After dividing the cake, there were still some scattered issues left, and Wu Changyun pushed them all to Tony Leung Ka Fai. He was going to teach Xing Mumu.
"Come with me."
"What are you doing?"
Xing Mumu felt that Wu Changyun was too unethical to be the president. He openly deserted his post before the meeting was even over.
Wu Changyun pulled Xing Mumu to sit in the back. The place where they were sitting only had two small folding stools.
Wu Changyun pointed at the big bosses and asked, "How many of them do you know?"
Xing Mumu looked around and found that except for Wong Jing, who she was more familiar with, the rest were unfamiliar faces.
"Did you know that this association includes almost all the film companies in Hong Kong? Do you want to make a movie?"
"Yes, of course."
"Anyone here is capable of making you the heroine."
Wu Changyun relaxed a little and leaned against the wall behind him.
Wu Changyun knows the stories of many girls. There are too many people in Hong Kong who dream of living an ideal life.
But the reality is that there are too many people on this road to success. Not only are there crowds of people, but there are also all kinds of snakes, insects, tigers and leopards on the road.
"I've met a female star. She came from a well-off family before. Now she would be a top-tier star." Wu Changyun pointed to the people who were photographed closest to the front.
Those people represented Hong Kong's top film companies. Wu Changyun pointed at the Shaw Brothers representative and said, "That's them."
"Later, something happened to this female star's family, and almost all companies refused to cooperate with her. Do you know why?"
"I don't know, all? Why? As long as the actors are famous and have good acting skills, they can definitely make money for the company." Xing Mumu was a little puzzled. Shouldn't actors add color to the movie?
"That's not the case. What you see is just the mainstream."
Wu Changyun randomly listed a few films, all of which have relatively clear genres. Some are specialized in suspense case-types, and some are youth romance-type.
The works of these companies all have one characteristic, which is that the categories are relatively vertical.
"So, what does this have to do with that female star being rejected?" Xing Mumu felt that Wu Changyun was a little off topic.
