Chapter 1232 Entertainment down
The topic went around and, under the intentional or unintentional guidance of Li Rui, returned to ATV.
"Xingrui Entertainment is developing in all aspects. There will be a number of self-made variety shows and film and television drama projects in the next few years. Due to mainland policy reasons, some of them may seek to be launched into the Yazhou market. So this time I came to Hong Kong Island, I also want to inspect the local film and television industry and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate." Li Rui did not express his intention to acquire ATV, because he was all old foxes in front of him. Once these people smell the smell, regardless of their relationship, it is definitely not their personality to not take a bite on the fat.
In fact, the entertainment industry in Hong Kong is no longer the same as before.
Once upon a time, the mainland had just opened, and when Hong Kong films and TV dramas entered the mainland, they caused a sensation like a frenzy.
When Li Rui didn't remember much, TV series such as "Huo Yuanjia", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Haizhoutan" have caused a situation of people being deserted several times. I wonder how many people regard Weng Meiling and Zhao Yazhi as their dream lover, and worship Huo Yuanjia, Guo Jing and Xu Wenqiang as their idols.
Later, when Li Rui knew a little, his family bought a TV and a video recorder. When he first saw Chow Yun-fat lighted cigarettes with money on the TV screen, the children's worldview was almost overturned!
At the end of the day, Stephen Chow's comedy film, Cheng Big Brother Gao Jet's kung fu film, Yimeng Shan Ji's young and dandy film, Xu Laoqian's martial arts film, sunglasses king's art film, and Wang Fatty's various bad movies came one after another, filling Li Rui's childhood and youthful days. Until the Hong Kong film brought by "Infernal Affairs" finally came, it fell into silence.
In addition to film and television, the same is true for the music industry.
From the initial four brothers of the Xu family to Tan Zhang’s competition, to the four kings of heaven, Hong Kong Island once had a brilliant star and output countless classic songs every year.
Li Rui still remembers the shock when he first heard "The Glorious Years". That feeling only appeared again when he listened to Jay's "The East Wind Break".
Hong Kong Island's music has also fallen into a trough, and there has been no decent newcomer in several years.
Variety shows, TV shows, and other entertainment industries have also fallen into stagnation, which is not only a painful sequelae brought by the financial crisis, but also a precursor to the brewing of a new storm.
This decline seems to be unsolvable, and there is even a continuous downward trend, which makes the entire entertainment industry panic.
Even business giants like Cai Guangming have suffered a Waterloo in ATV's investment, which others can imagine.
Now in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, only film and television companies that are more comfortable to live are Lin Jianyue’s Huanya, Yang Chengshou’s Shadow’s Shadow Emperor and Xiang’s Yongsheng, plus Stephen Chow’s own Starlight.
As for record companies, one is dying.
I heard that Li Rui is interested in investing in the Hong Kong film and television industry, and several bigwigs are all a little moved.
Lu He asked: "Is Mr. Li optimistic about the prospects of the film and television industry in Hong Kong?"
His main business is hotels and entertainment, which is particularly affected by the overall environment and is very sensitive to information in this regard.
Li Rui said: "With the economic recovery, entertainment demand will definitely be released, and the connection between Hong Kong Island and the mainland will become closer and closer, and the cultural exchanges between the two sides will continue to increase, which is also a major benefit to the entertainment industry."
All of them showed a thoughtful look.
Only Cai Guangming said: "Mr. Li, are you interested in the TV industry?"
Li Rui was secretly happy in his heart and took the bait, but said calmly on the surface: "What does Mr. Cai mean? You can't you want to sell ATV's shares, right?"
Cai Guangming shook his head and said, "I am tired and don't want to play anymore. If you are interested, I will transfer the shares to you."
Guo Binghao smiled and said, "Old Cai, don't cheat Li Rui if you don't want to play anymore. You old fox can't beat Wang Jiasheng, how could Li Rui beat them!"
Cai Guangming said: "I can't fight, how do you know that Li Rui can't fight?"
Li Rui smiled and said, "I have to consider this."
Seeing that Li Rui did not refuse, Cai Guangming was very happy. ATV was like a hot potato in his hand. He was reluctant to throw it away and couldn't bear it, and he couldn't eat it even if he kept it. It was really annoying.
After chatting for a few more words, Li Rui used the excuse to go to the bathroom, got up and walked outside the club, took out his cell phone and sent a Credit Suisse to Guo Guangchang.
[Li Rui]: Mr. Guo, I want to talk to Mr. Lin later on for a project. Please help me.
Guo Guangchang quickly replied "ok".
Li Rui felt relieved and was about to return to the club when a strange laugh suddenly sounded behind him: "Haha, how could it be you? It's really where we meet in life!"
Li Rui looked back and was a little speechless.
Behind him was Lin Junxian, holding a foreign girl in each hand, and a few male friends were all looking at him with bad eyes.
"What a coincidence." Li Rui said, "Is the party over there?"
Lin Junxian curled his lips and said, "It's a coincidence. I was looking for you just now. Since I met you, let's have a good chat."
"What are you talking about?"
"Talk about what you did to my friend Cheng Xiaoming in Haizhou. I heard that you are very arrogant in Haizhou. Unfortunately, this is Hong Kong Island, not a place where you can go wild." Lin Junxian said.
Li Rui smiled and said, "Do you want to avenge him?"
Lin Junxian said: "I'm very fair. You slapped him at that time, and I'll give you a slap for him!"
Li Rui sighed and said, "Are you sure you want to hit me? Are you not afraid of any consequences?"
Lin Junxian laughed and said, "What are the consequences? Do you think this is Haizhou?"
Li Rui said: "I mean, what would his father think if he knew that you were so arrogant outside and would always beat this and that person?"
Lin Junxian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Do you have a brain problem? My dad doesn't care about this. Come over and let me slap it. Forget this matter, otherwise, if I do something, it will be bad if I hurt you!"
Li Rui said: "Okay...but I have a friend who drinks with me who probably won't agree."
Lin Junxian sneered: "What friend, call it out. If he doesn't agree, I'll fight him together!"
Li Rui shouted into the club: "Mr. Lin!"
A few seconds later, Lin Junxian saw his father coming out. The two looked at each other and Lin Jianyue frowned, and Lin Junxian turned black.
Lin Jianyue stared at Lin Junxian with an ugly face and said, "How do you look like!"
Lin Junxian quickly threw away the foreign girls on both sides as if he was electrocuted, and stammered: "Dad...you...this..."
He couldn't even understand why Li Rui was with his father.
Li Rui smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, it's such a coincidence today. I just had a party with your young master there, and now I'm drinking with you here again. I'm really destined to be with the Lin family."
Lin Jianyue said with a smile: "I feel so too."
He just heard from Guo Guangchang that Li Rui was going to discuss projects with him, and he was very excited and of course his attitude towards Li Rui was very enthusiastic.
Li Rui looked at Lin Junxian again: "Sister Lin, Ling Zun and I continue to drink. We have no time to accompany you. You won't mind, right?"
