Andy Lau's status in the Chinese world is unmatched. He is a real superstar. Over the years, from an idol star to a powerful star today, he has achieved outstanding achievements in music, film and television. In Zhou Hao's previous life, Andy Lau concealed the turmoil of his marriage, Zhou Hao also felt that it was justifiable, although there were faults, the flaws were not concealed.
And Andy Lau at this time is much younger than Zhou Hao in his previous life, after all, he is only in his thirties now.
In the separate private room, there were only Zhou Hao and Andy Lau, sitting face to face on both sides of the dining table.
Andy Lau looked carefully at the handsome young man in front of him, guessing his identity curiously. Because today he still had a filming schedule, but he suddenly received an invitation, and it was Xiang Huaqiang's younger brother Xiang Huasheng who invited him. Of course Andy Lau is aware of Sun Ngee Ann's power in Hong Kong, especially Xin Ngee Ann's control over the entertainment industry, unless he is an insider, he can't really see it. So Andy Lau immediately canceled today's schedule, hurriedly came here with Xiang Huasheng, and met this boy named "Zhou Hao" in front of him.
When he first met him, this Zhou Hao's eyes showed a bit of surprise and admiration, as well as a hint of admiration, just like his fans of music and movies. But soon, he calmed down, and there was only a little appreciation for himself in his eyes, just like looking at an ordinary person.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Liu, for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet me." Zhou Hao smiled at Andy Lau.
Zhou Hao didn't call Andy Lau "Hua Zai" like Hong Kong people, which made Andy Lau feel that his relationship with him was not like fans and idols, or friends and friends, but like business partners.
Since Xiang Huasheng personally brought him here to meet Zhou Hao, Andy Lau thought that Zhou Hao must be an unusual person, so he smiled and said, "Where is it, Mr. Zhou, you are young and promising, it is my honor to meet you .”
But Zhou Hao shook his head and smiled, "I don't think Mr. Liu knew me before, so how did you know that I was young and promising?"
Andy Lau didn't expect Zhou Hao to speak so bluntly, so he was taken aback for a moment, and smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Zhou, you, you are speaking too bluntly."
"I just want to have a heart-to-heart talk with Mr. Liu." Zhou Hao said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, I know that you have not signed any contract with any brokerage company, and you are considered a free person to some extent. "
Andy Lau frowned immediately when he heard the words, because Zhou Hao said that, it meant that he intended to recruit himself to the flag.
However, Andy Lau was fed up with the exploitation of the brokerage company, so he became independent. A few years ago, he established the "Tianmu" company by himself in order not to be restrained, but "Tianmu" ended in a dismal end.
Seeing Andy Lau frowned, Zhou Hao was not in a hurry, he still smiled and said: "I know Mr. Liu, you don't like being restrained, but you should understand
Bai, it is difficult to make a difference if you are alone. You need a strong company to support you. Moreover, after joining my company, I can guarantee that no one in the underworld in Hong Kong will dare to threaten you to make bad movies. "
Andy Lau looked a little surprised at Zhou Hao. If he could say this, it meant that Zhou Hao had the strength to contend with the entire underworld in Hong Kong, which inevitably made Andy Lau curious.
And Zhou Hao said to him again: "Besides, Mr. Liu, I know you are very concerned about the Best Actor Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards. You have made so many movies but none of them can help you realize your dream of becoming an actor. Mr. Liu, I can help you."
"How can you help me?" Seeing the very confident smile on Zhou Hao's face, Andy Lau suddenly jumped in his heart, "Could it be that you want to bribe the judges, that's not okay, if that's the case, I'd rather not have this award. "
"Of course not." Zhou Hao said with a smile: "It's meaningless to do this kind of thing. I want you to sit in the position of actor in an upright manner. I have already tailored a play for you, and you can do it now." Take a look at the script." After finishing speaking, he took out a script and handed it to Andy Lau.
Andy Lau picked it up and flipped through it, ""Dark War"?"
This is exactly the "Dark War" that Andy Lau won the Golden Image Award for Best Actor in his previous life, but "Dark War" was only released in 1999, but Zhou Hao wrote it out in advance according to his own memory Of course, Zhou Hao is not a professional talent in writing scripts, so this script is only a first draft and needs professional people to polish it.
After a brief overview of the story, Andy Lau also showed joy on his face, because he could see that the script was very exciting, and each character was very tense. He asked Zhou Hao: "The jewel thief and the policeman, do you want me to Which one to play?"
Zhou Hao smiled, "Then which one do you want to play?"
Andy Lau hesitated for a moment, then said: "I want to play that thief, because this role is more challenging."
Zhou Hao nodded, "As for the policeman, I will ask Liu Qingyun to play the role."
"Qing Yun?" Andy Lau said in amazement: "But he is now a member of 'Galaxy Image', Boss Du is afraid he won't let him go." The Boss Du he mentioned is Johnnie To, because the film production company of "Galaxy Image" is Johnnie To Created in the previous year.
But Zhou Hao's smile didn't change, "Not to mention Liu Qingyun, even Du Qifeng has agreed to be the director of my film."
"What?" Andy Lau was also very shocked when he heard the words, because he had worked with Johnnie To a lot and knew Johnnie To's temperament. Although the script of "Dark War" is very good, Du Qifeng may not condescend to agree to Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao laughed and said, "Because the entire 'Galaxy Image' was taken away by me the day before yesterday.
Bought it, but it has not been released to the public yet. "
"What!" Andy Lau stood up in shock,
He looked at Zhou Hao in disbelief.
Because Du Qifeng created "Galaxy Image" with full of passion, and regarded it as his brainchild, and even attracted Wei Jiahui and You Dazhi to form an "iron triangle", with the ambition to establish a film and television kingdom in Hong Kong, how could it be suddenly acquired by Zhou Hao What?
It turns out that although Johnnie To created the "Galaxy Image", there is still a very strong shadow of the underworld behind him, that is, the Xiang family in Xin Ngee Ann. Xiang Huaqiang was the ultimate master behind the "Galaxy Image". At that time, after Zhou Hao decided to acquire "Galaxy Image", he didn't go to Du Qifeng, but went to Xiang Huaqiang directly.
When Xiang Huaqiang learned that Zhou Hao wanted to acquire "Galaxy Image", he would give Zhou Hao the "Galaxy Image" for free without saying a word. Because compared to wooing Zhou Hao to please Zhou Hao, "Galaxy Image" is too insignificant to Xiang Huaqiang. After all, although Xin Ngee Ann has a lot of business in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, it only accounts for a small part of their "business". Xiang Huaqiang originally regarded his film companies as tools for money laundering. Not to mention "Galaxy Image", if Zhou Hao asked, even the "Yongsheng Film Company" that Xiang Huaqiang poured the most effort into, he could give it to Zhou Hao without frowning.
Naturally, Zhou Hao didn't ask for it in vain, and deliberately gave Xiang Huaqiang 50 million Hong Kong dollars, and officially included "Galaxy Image" under his banner. In addition, Zhou Hao also bought a record production company owned by Xiang Huaqiang for 20 million Hong Kong dollars.
With such a plunder, the framework of Zhou Hao's "Polaris" in the three aspects of music, film and television has been preliminarily set up. And this is only in Hong Kong, and the construction of the "Polaris" structure in China is also going on enthusiastically.
However, it is the same as Zhou Hao's acquisition strategy in Hong Kong. Zhou Hao didn't want to laboriously start building again from brick by brick, but directly took the ready-made resources as the "puzzle" of "North Star". Take "Hengdian Film and Television City" as an example. "Polaris" owns 40% of its shares, which is equivalent to owning the largest shooting base in China. In the future, the movies and TV series produced by itself will not need to rent other people's places. .
At this time, apart from acquiring ATV, Galaxy Video and record companies in Hong Kong, "Polaris" is also negotiating to acquire "Huayi Brothers Media Group" which was just established in 1994 in China. .
Today's "Huayi Brothers Media Group" is only in the early stages of its establishment, its achievements and reputation are far less than Zhou Hao's previous life, and it has not yet been listed, so it is much easier to acquire it.
And at this time, Andy Lau on the opposite side had gradually calmed down, but his gaze towards Zhou Hao was no longer contemptuous, but faintly fearful. The person who can keep the "Galaxy image" in his pocket is absolutely impossible to be an ordinary person. Andy Lau tentatively asked: "Mr. Zhou, may I ask, what is the name of your company?"
Zhou Hao picked up the "Sprite" in front of him, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "My company, Mr. Liu, you should have heard of it. It's called 'Polaris Media Film and Television Company'."
"Is your company the 'Polaris' company? The 'Polaris' company that acquired Asian TV some time ago?"
"That's right." Zhou Hao nodded with a smile.
Andy Lau was amazed, "I really didn't expect that you are the boss behind the 'North Star' that has caused a lot of trouble in the entertainment industry. You know, the media is already guessing whether 'Polaris' is the top rich man like Li Ka-shing or Lee Shau Kee. It came out, and said that these real estate tycoons also intend to intervene in the media business."
