Chapter 235: Take a gamble
The words of the sixth uncle made Yang Dongxu and Deng Guangrong both frown, and their faces became solemn, now everyone has been faced, unless one side retreats, they will definitely not die. But Qiang Ma Zhuang, a local film industry in Hong Kong, obviously has no intention of backing down, and Yang Dongxu is the master who eats soft rather than hard, so when it comes to business, both of them are a little silent.
"Tell me about your conditions?" After being silent for a while, Deng Guangrong looked at Yang Dongxu and said.
He obviously heard the words of the sixth uncle before, and if he could, he didn't want to get into trouble with Yang Dongxu. Although the other party will certainly not be able to fully represent the mainland, it is undeniable that Haina is now the largest entertainment company in the mainland, and if he takes the lead in doing it with Hong Kong, the relationship between the two sides of the strait in the entertainment circles will be really difficult to handle in the future.
"Condition? I don't have any conditions. Yang Dongxu shook his head: "Everyone makes a movie, and I am satisfied if the well water does not interfere with the river water." ”
"You're satisfied, but a lot of people aren't. Deng Guangrong snorted.
"The reason why they are not satisfied is that they want to put their hands in my pocket to take the money and I have taught them a lesson, do I just let him take money in my pocket in order to satisfy them? In fact, there is one thing I can't figure out, the Hong Kong film industry is so strong, why are you afraid of me alone, a mainlander? Why are you so strong and so weak in your heart?"
"This has nothing to do with whether you are afraid or not, talented people may not necessarily come out, and the geniuses in the film industry who have disappeared over the years are not one or two. Deng Guangrong took a cigar from the bodyguard behind him, lit it, and said.
This sentence is very direct and cruel, the current Hong Kong film industry is the era when the strong eat meat and the weak eat. There are more talented screenwriters and famous stars, but the money has flowed into the pockets of the people behind the scenes.
And Yang Dongxu got all the money into his pocket as soon as he came up, if he only had a little money, forget it. But it is already possible for the first movie to exceed 10 million, so it is strange that no one is hot on such a large sum of money. Coupled with his swaggering temperament from the beginning, there must be someone who wants to extinguish his prestige.
In fact, in the final analysis, there are no strong figures standing behind Yang Dongxu, and the Hong Kong side of the record used to not pay attention to it, and the people in Taiwan were doing it, so there are rich people who can barely hold the scene, but in the film industry, which makes money quickly, the face of the rich family is obviously a little insufficient.
"Then what are your conditions?" Yang Dongxu asked with a frown.
"There are a lot of film companies in Hong Kong, since your screenwriter and director skills are good, then be a screenwriter and director, rest assured that you will be given a high price, and if the box office is good enough, it is not impossible to get a share. Deng Guangrong said with a deep groan.
"To put it bluntly, it's a part-time job for you. Yang Dongxu had a mocking smile on his face.
In fact, from the very beginning, he knew what these ideas were, not to mention that in Hong Kong, even in the mainland, there are many people who are watching Haina Records.
In the past, there were no decent record companies in the mainland, and they were all small fights and did not make much profit. But since the rise of Haina, hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of profits every year, I don't know how many people are jealous.
That is, because the previous did not pay enough attention to the record industry, Haina drilled a Confucius and rose rapidly. Now if you look at it, in addition to Han Xing and Wei Fei standing behind Feiyang, who look pretty good, is there a third big record company in the mainland?
So if it weren't for the fact that Yang Dongxu put a lot of talismans on Haina in the mainland at the beginning, plus Fu Decai, the name of Hong Kong's 'patriotic businessman', is more sensitive, and at the same time, it is in the time period when Hong Kong is still in the return period, those people are still more restrained. Otherwise, do you really think that if there are thousands of families, those people will not dare to make any moths?
In the mainland, there are thousands of families who are supported by this backer, not to mention that in Hong Kong, Yang Dongxu can only rely on the second-rate family of the rich family. So this is the typical truth that the puppet is not guilty of his guilt.
"People who eat alone don't end well. Deng Guangrong looked at Yang Dongxu very unconvinced, and nodded again.
Seriously, what Deng Guangrong doesn't like the most is to negotiate with young people, because young people are easy to be arrogant and don't know what it means to take a step back and open the sky, or to taste the truth of lying on the salary, many young people feel that their things are their own because they are talented, but in fact, your things are not necessarily yours.
"Otherwise, how about making a bet?" Yang Dongxu knew that if the other party didn't want him to mix in the Hong Kong film industry, he did have the ability to ban him, unless he had become a big tree like wireless, and he didn't have to look at other people's faces.
"How do you want to bet?"
""Jingwu Heroes" is not counted, I will take out three more movies, let's compare the box office, of course, we can't just count the box office of Hong Kong, and count the overseas ones. The entire Hong Kong film industry is counted, if there are any three films that can surpass my three films at the box office, I will take out 30% of the shares of Haina Company, which is the shares of the entire Haina Company and not just the film department.
But if any of your three movies are not as high as my box office, I won't say anything else, and in the future, we will just not make the river water. Don't tell me that there are a lot of geniuses who disappear, they disappear because they don't have that much ability and they have to eat so much. I feel like I'm good enough to eat this bowl of rice. Yang Dongxu's tone was very flat, but the meaning of his words was extremely strong.
The last sentence clearly means that you can kill other people because they are soft persimmons, and he is obviously not a soft persimmon that can be bullied.
"You seem to be confident in yourself. Deng Guangrong's face was a little ugly.
Obviously, Yang Dongxu is a bit contemptuous of people when he says this, what does it mean that the Hong Kong film industry is counted? Do you really think that if you make a good movie, you will be invincible? Although the Hong Kong film industry is a bit bullying this time, if the people in the Hong Kong film industry don't have this ability, this cake can be made so big now, and the film industry can be so hot?
"If I didn't have confidence, I wouldn't have come to Hong Kong to make movies. Yang Dongxu shrugged.
"How long is the limit?"
"Before the end of the year. ”
"Yes, you have your share power of attorney ready. Deng Guangrong bit the cigar in his mouth and sneered.
"You don't need a headache with this. Besides, even if I lose to 30% of your shares in Haina Company, have you figured out how to divide it?" Yang Dongxu winked at Deng Guangrong.
As soon as these words came out, Deng Guangrong's heart suddenly burst. Yes, even if you win the 30 percent of the shares, how can you divide it? You must know that Haina is not an ordinary entertainment company, it is the largest entertainment company in the mainland.
Not to mention the TV drama industry that has begun to rise and the film industry that has just tried the waters, the record industry alone has an output value of hundreds of millions a year. The 30% share is estimated to be a dividend of 100 million yuan per year, which is not excessive, and with the current momentum of Haina Records, this dividend can only be more, not less.
More than 100 million is enough to make many people crazy, even a big man in the film industry like Golden Harvest will not be calm in the face of this number. If you win, how to distribute it is definitely a big question.
This incident was undoubtedly led by a few big film companies, so do they want to have a little more? In the same way, several big newspapers have also made a lot of efforts, and without their words, it is impossible to block Haina in the media, so do they want to share a little more? Thinking of this, Deng Guangrong's anger that was originally a little provoked by Yang Dongxu was instantly extinguished by a basin of cold water.
"Your personality is better to be a little more restrained. Sending Deng Guangrong out, Yang Dongxu didn't leave, obviously there was something to talk about, so the three of them returned to the study. Looking at Yang Dongxu, who still had a faint smile on his face, Sixth Uncle couldn't help but feel a sense of heroic twilight.
Once upon a time, when he was young, he would rather bend than bend, even if he lost, he would not let his opponent have a good time. It's a pity that such bloody years are gone, and many of his edges and corners have been smoothed out by the years.
"Sometimes I can't control my emotions. Yang Dongxu said helplessly.
The sixth uncle didn't dwell on this issue anymore: "Okay, let's not talk about this issue, tell me what you want my old man to help me when you stay?"
"Uncle Sixth is really powerful, you know what I'm going to do before I speak. Yang Dongxu gave a thumbs up to the sixth uncle.
"Don't bring me a high hat to talk about, I'll go to the company to see if it's okay." ”
"Actually, it's not a big deal, it must be easy for Uncle Six, I hope Uncle Six can come forward to help me borrow a few actors, after all, if the other party agrees to the gambling contract, even if he doesn't make any small moves, those stars must have their own scruples in their hearts, and Uncle Six needs to come forward to help. Yang Dongxu smiled a little embarrassedly.
As I said just now, such a domineering artist wants to single-handedly challenge the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry, but now he has to borrow the stars of other companies to film, which is simply slapping himself in the mouth.
If you don't borrow some celebrities to come over, you don't need to shoot Yang Dongxu to lose, so in order to win, you can only pull down your face to beg the sixth uncle, and the scruples of those actors need a big guy like the sixth uncle to come forward to dispel it, after all, the wireless is here, even if they help Yang Dongxu make a movie to see the face of the sixth uncle, no one will give them small shoes in the future.
"What's in it for me?" Sixth Uncle looked at Yang Dongxu with a smile, the young man in front of him was very similar to his own when he was young, talented and not lacking in intelligence, but there is one thing that is stronger than himself, that is, this cheek is much thicker than when he was young.
"If I win, 10% of the total ticket for the three movies will be yours Uncle Six, and if I lose, 5% of the shares of Haina Company will be yours. ”
"It's hard to refuse. The sixth uncle had to sigh that Yang Dongxu was indeed generous.
30% of the shares worth hundreds of millions of dollars were taken out to gamble, and now he is asked to come forward to help with nearly 10 million benefits.
If Yang Dongxu wins, then how can two of the three movies be in the top three at the box office. Even according to last year's box office in the Hong Kong film industry, the box office of the top three two movies is more than 60 million even if the second and third places are combined, which means that he only needs to come forward to invite a few stars that Yang Dongxu wants, and he doesn't have to care about what taxes are after the movie is released, and the theater will share more than 6 million properly.
If Yang Dongxu loses, it will be more cost-effective, and 5% of Haina's shares are more valuable than the more than 6 million in cash.
