Hualai is a larger film and television company than Jintang. After signing the agreement with Jintang, Hualai took over the management of all of Jintang's cinemas. Jintang's cinemas are all located in important business districts with excellent locations. Some of the cinemas are quite old, and Chu Yu paid for the upgrade of the cinemas.
With its growing strength and the addition of 150 cinema chains, Hualai's influence in Hong Kong is increasing, to the point of surpassing Goldman Sachs.
Goldman Sachs spat and cursed, "That little bitch surnamed Zhou! She dared to give Jin Biting a contract to make a movie with her. What does Wallace mean by this? It's obvious they don't respect Goldman Sachs at all!"
Goldman Sachs was acting erratically and out of control. After Gao Yongwei returned, Goldman Sachs tried to assassinate her several times, but she was saved by her subordinates each time.
The two publicly challenged each other. Over the years, Goldman Sachs has incurred the wrath of the Gao family. All the sons of the Gao family have died, but the Gao family still has daughters. Gao Yongwei is the eldest daughter of the Gao family, and she is more legitimate than Goldman Sachs. If Gao Yongwei wants to regain power, even if she can't kill Goldman Sachs, she has to make Goldman Sachs suffer a great loss!
Goldman Sachs is in a bad position within the Goldman family; even when he comes to the company, he has to listen to all sorts of messy gossip.
His assistant, who had witnessed Goldman Sachs's anger, said tremblingly:
"Hua Lai gave Jin Biting two contracts, one for the lead role and one for a supporting role. They even said that Jin Biting could choose any of Hua Lai's supporting actresses, and that Hua Lai would do its best to support her if she wanted! At the same time, President Zhou also stood up to condemn this behavior, saying that female stars' rights should be protected, calling on the entire Hong Kong city to clean up this trend, and demanding that the Hong Kong media stop publishing nude photos of female stars to attract attention! She is the boss of Hua Lai, and when she speaks, the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry cheers, especially the actresses... they all treat her like a goddess. I just don't understand, this Zhou Chuyu, she doesn't care about the mainland entertainment industry, but insists on messing around in our Hong Kong entertainment industry!"
Goldman Sachs is in a terrible mess; nothing is going right.
Last time, he was almost killed by Lung Shing and Ko Wing-wai. He survived but still suffered a lot.
He's been having nightmares a lot these past few days, and not being able to sleep makes him even more irritable!
"That Zhou guy is practically working against me! With Hualai and Jintang joining forces, our tripartite balance of power has been broken. They're teaming up against Goldman Sachs. How am I supposed to do business? What's the point of running a film company? I might as well work for those two!"
Goldman Sachs kicked the chair hard. His assistant glanced at his face and whispered, "Should we cause trouble for that guy surnamed Zhou?"
Goldman Sachs slapped him across the face. "You fucking think I don't want to cause trouble? If I could cause her trouble, would I have waited until now? This Zhou guy has connections. It's one thing to be unable to mess with him in mainland China, but he's backed by Sun Yee City in Hong Kong! Even if I wanted to kill her, it wouldn't be as easy as you opening your mouth!"
The assistant covered his mouth and remained silent.
Goldman Sachs scoffed. Gao Yongwei had tried to drown him, but luckily he was alive; otherwise, his body might not even be found now.
Goldman Sachs couldn't swallow this insult.
A fierce glint appeared in his eyes, and he felt that he would have to pay back for the losses he had suffered at the hands of Hua Lai and Jin Tang sooner or later!
Chu Yu knew that the entertainment industry in Hong Kong was not peaceful and that Jin Biting was a victim. As a woman, Chu Yu could not help but protect her. After Jin Biting got the contract, she joined the film crew without hesitation. Xiao Tang specially called Chu Yu to thank her for helping in her time of crisis.
Chu Yu smiled and said, "No need to thank me, Mrs. Jin. I'm not only helping Jin Biting, but also all actresses and all women! Even if we women are kidnapped or something even more serious happens, as long as it's not our fault, we don't need to hide our faces! Please tell Jin Biting that I hope she won't let me down and will prove herself with her acting skills as soon as possible. She should stand up again soon. The more afraid and frustrated you are, the more you will be chased by these worldly eyes. People have to live for themselves."
Xiao Tang said with great emotion, "President Zhou, you're right. Thank you for your help. Several of our films this year have already been released, and we really don't have any films in production right now. Even if we did, we're not the only investors. Jin Biting's situation is really difficult to handle. Fortunately, you lent a helping hand and gave me hope."
Chu Yu smiled, and the two ended the call amicably.
Hearing Chu Yu's words, Jin Biting decided to cheer up. Chu Yu was right. Even if someone took nude photos of her and everyone saw her naked body, so what? It wasn't her fault. At worst, she would never get married.
But whenever she wanted to go out, she had to endure other people's strange looks. She could only straighten her back, ignore the gossip, and hone her acting skills.
She simply considered it a gift from fate, giving her the opportunity to experience this.
This is the icing on the cake for her acting skills.
Jin Biting joined the crew soon, and the matter in Hong Kong came to an end. Huasheng acquired Jintang's cinema chain and now owns 150 cinemas in China. Chu Yu watched his blueprint expand little by little and felt a sense of satisfaction from the bottom of his heart.
The next step is to instruct the post-production company to do a good job on the post-production of "Jurassic Resurrection" so that the movie can be released as soon as possible and Hua Lai can recoup its investment.
Previously, Hualai could only receive a quarter of the profits when sharing revenue with cinemas. Now that it owns its own cinemas, it no longer needs to share with others, and its profits have been steadily increasing.
If things continue like this, when Jurassic Park is released next year, if the box office is good, most of the box office revenue will end up in Chu Yu's pocket.
That's a considerable sum of money.
Dai Donglin was quite surprised to hear that Chu Yu had acquired Jintang's cinema chain; his wife was becoming more and more impressive.
Qin Weidong and Mi Fei also heard the news.
After all, they also had shares in Hualai, although not a large one. Hualai made several additional investments later on, but they didn't make any additional investments. However, they still received a share of the profits every time Hualai distributed dividends.
Qin Weidong was quite surprised when Chu Yu revealed that she had acquired Jintang Cinema Line.
"If things continue like this, you'll have complete control over all the cinemas in China!"
Chu Yu smiled and said, "This year we plan to open one hundred more cinemas in China."
"One hundred?" Mi Fei calculated that there were already one hundred and fifty cinemas. Adding another one hundred would make it two hundred and fifty. With so many cinemas showing movies at the same time, wouldn't Hualai's profits soar? "You're right to invest in cinemas. The Chinese film industry is just starting out. Hualai owns the cinema chain, which will reduce expenses, increase profits, and make our investment more stable."
Chu Yu nodded; that was what she thought too.
If "Jurassic Resurrection" isn't released in its own theaters, it will lose at least hundreds of millions of yuan in revenue, not to mention other films by Hua Lai. Rather than that, it's better to have its own theaters. Only when you have something in your own hands is it truly secure.
For film companies that typically operate cinemas, the biggest taboo is for the boss to spend money to bribe people. If investors spend hundreds of millions of dollars to bribe people, all the money will go down the drain, and the quality of the film will not be guaranteed.
Chu Yu is a female CEO, so these problems don't apply to her.
The company will only invest in high-quality films; she will never turn the company into her own backyard and muddy the waters.
