Chapter 293 Source Code 2 (Part )
"Happy cooperation!"
Liu Hongmin signed the share transfer agreement and the share purchase agreement, and then handed the transfer to Feng Kan. A business involving more than 2 billion US dollars cannot be completed in a day or two.
It would take at least three to five months from the equity transfer to Liu Hongmin getting the rights he deserved. Liu Hongmin had no time to waste on this acquisition case, so he handed everything over to Feng Kan, his agent.
"Brother Xiaoming?" Liu Hongmin looked at Xu Xiaoming in surprise. "Aren't you busy with the post-production of Source Code 2?"
"Just finished!" Xu Xiaoming fell on the sofa, "Brother! Have you finished writing the script for Source Code 3? We have to hurry up this time, otherwise we will be too rushed."
"It's already been prepared!"
Liu Hongmin took out a script and pushed it to the other end of the table.
Xu Xiaoming stood up and took the script. He sat back on the sofa and flipped through the script. The accident in Source Code 3 was replaced by an airplane. Liu Hongmin took advantage of the situation and incorporated a script called "The Sky That Cannot Fly" from a variety show he had watched before, "The Great Detective", into Source Code 3.
"The Sky That Can't Fly" is also a reincarnation script. Just perfect the script and it can be used.
Having filmed many reincarnation movies, Xu Xiaoming no longer has the same initial sense of amazement.
"I'll have someone prepare it right away."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Liu Hongmin quickly called him, "Brother Xiaoming, when will the screening of Source Code 2 be held?"
"On the 20th, if there are no problems, it will be released on the 21st."
Liu Hongmin frowned, "We're a bit pressed for time!"
"Yes! We worked fourteen or fifteen hours a day to get this done." Xu Xiaoming spread his hands. "So, I have to start preparing for Source Code 3 now, otherwise it might be too late next year."
Hardcore science fiction movies take too long to make. Most Hong Kong filmmakers want to make quick money and are destined not to develop science fiction movies. If it weren't for Tomorrow Films, there would be no milestone science fiction movies like Source Code.
"Then you should start preparing, but there's no rush. Wait until Source Code 2 is released and see how it's received."
If the response is good, the crew will be formed immediately. If the response is not good, the series will probably be cancelled.
Xu Xiaoming nodded and went out with the script. There is still some time until the 20th, and a lot of things can be done.
Soon it was the 20th, and all the film companies in Hong Kong gathered at the Peninsula Hotel. This time, the screening was still held at the Peninsula Hotel. Compared with the last time, the major film companies were more concerned. "Source Code 2" had their investment in it, and if "Source Code 2" was a big success, they would not have to worry about losing money. If they could list the company with this movie, they would make a lot of money.
Liu Hongmin also brought Li Lizhen and Gong Li to the film screening. This was the first time the two women made a public appearance after giving birth. Li Lizhen had the experience of the last time and has almost recovered. Gong Li has not fully recovered yet, but she has a large frame and just looks a lot plumper, which does not make people notice anything unusual.
In order to cover up the truth, Li Lizhen specially called other female stars in the company.
Li Zhi, the 86 Miss Asia champion, was signed to Wang Yaowei's company as a sexy actress right after she won the title. Unfortunately, because her acting skills and popularity with the audience are not very good, her career has not been smooth. However, she has been dating Jet Li in the past two years and often hangs out with Li Lizhen, and she seems to be trying to get promoted by becoming a wife.
Qiu Shuzhen was exposed for plastic surgery when she participated in a talent show in 87. After she withdrew from the talent show, she was discovered by Wang Jing and signed to his company. Because of her pleasing appearance and popularity with the audience, she is now one of Wang Jing's favorite female protagonists.
Zhou Huimin hosted a music program on Hong Kong Radio in 87. Zou Shifang's wife liked it very much, so Zou Shifang signed her to the company and she became the company's first singer. She sang many interludes in the company's movies and often made guest appearances in the company's movies. She released her first solo album in 88 and immediately became a famous singer in Hong Kong. This year, she became the heroine of "Source Code 2", and her future is limitless.
Zhu Ying, an actress selected by the company's training department last year, is currently playing supporting roles in the company's films to hone her acting skills.
Cai Shaofen, the third runner-up of this year's Miss Hong Kong pageant, was signed by the company and is being planned to be a target for key training.
Liu Hongmin appeared with a bunch of beautiful women, so no one would speculate about the relationship between him and Gong Li. People who are familiar with him would even joke that Mr. Liu is so lucky!
These girls would not think too much about it, it was just a joke. Since they have entered the entertainment industry, they can't help but make jokes, and sometimes they will even join in.
After entering the banquet hall, everyone dispersed. Li Zhi went to find Li Lianjie, Qiu Shuzhen followed Wang Jing, Zhou Huimin was pulled away by Zou Shifang's wife, and the remaining Zhu Ying and Cai Shaofen were kept by Li Lizhen, who took them and Gong Li to socialize together. With Li Lizhen around, no one dared to embarrass the two newcomers.
There are countless perverts among the wealthy people in Hong Kong, but no one dares to touch the female artists under Tomorrow Film Company. There was once a rich second-generation who wanted to force Qiu Shuzhen, but he was dealt with by the security company under Liu Hongmin before he succeeded.
Over the years, Liu Hongmin's security company in Hong Kong has grown to a large scale. These people are all retired soldiers from the mainland, and those who were sent to Hong Kong are all under 30 years old. These people have just been discharged from the army, and they are all killers who came down from the battlefield in southern Xinjiang. The security company dare not equip them with guns, otherwise, someone might die at any time.
Liu Hongmin found a place to sit down, and bosses from major companies immediately gathered around.
"Brother Liu, I'm going to rely on you this time."
Liu Hongmin smiled and said: "We don't know what the movie will look like yet!"
"Tomorrow's product will be a masterpiece. We trust Brother Liu." Everyone immediately flattered him. Regardless of whether the movie was successful or not, the right thing to do was to maintain a good relationship with Liu Hongmin first.
They all heard that Liu Hongmin had bought shares in MGM, a well-established Hollywood company with a market value of US$20 million to US$ million. Although they didn't know how many shares Liu Hongmin had acquired, rumors said it was a lot, at least %, which was US$ billion to US$ billion. If the entire Hong Kong film industry was added together, it might not be worth US$ billion.
The film industry is so competitive now that the company is bound to run out of money. If Liu Hongmin can help out at that time, the company might be able to survive.
In the past, they were short-sighted. Although they knew Liu Hongmin was rich, they didn't expect him to be so rich. Facing such a God of Wealth, they must burn incense first. They can't just rely on Buddha's help when they need help, right?
