Chapter 437: Business Ability
Lu Menglin listened to Jiang Qizhi's complaints, and finally had some understanding of the style of the Hong Kong Island entertainment industry.
In the final analysis, Menglin Culture has not really integrated into the circle, and in the eyes of those insiders, it is just a mainlander with a lot of money and stupidity.
"I probably know your thinking, you want to muddy the water, and then you can fish in the water. Let's talk to Zhu Qiuhong and them tomorrow, finalize the actor's contract and schedule as soon as possible, and then let Zhu Qiuhong and them take the line, and I will talk to Director Zhou at that time. Lu Menglin said with a smile.
"Okay, with your words, it's done. I thought you were looking at people who were beautiful and moved by lust!" Jiang Qi said with a cheap smile.
"You've just moved your lust, get out of the way!" Lu Menglin scolded with a smile.
After a while, Chen Jiannan came back and found a residence for Lu Menglin upstairs in the company, as well as a computer and the Internet.
Lu Menglin said hello to the two friends, and then hid in the room by himself.
Turn on your computer, click to download the game "Legend of Blood", and then get ready to enter the Hong Kong Island server and return to the region.
Taking advantage of this gap, Lu Menglin dialed the phone of the child Zhou Zhuojun again.
"Kid, do something for me. Lu Menglin said in a deep voice.
"Okay, you say, I'll listen. When the child on the other end of the phone heard that Lu Menglin was going to do something, he was immediately energetic.
"You help me look up the IP address of Hong Kong Island Women's University, and then take out the ID of their school guild from the database of the return server, and send me all the character names. I'll make a logo for me later, I'm going to lock one of the IDs, and I'll know as soon as she's online. ”
"Okay, this one is simple. It will be done in no time. The child said in a calm tone.
In fact, this matter is not simple, even within the entire Menglin Legend Company, there are only three people with such high-level permissions, and the child, as the person in charge of game content, has this high-level permission.
And as Lu Menglin's diehard loyalist, one of the most trusted people, the child will not ask why and what he wants to do at all, he will only resolutely carry it out.
Some people say that Hong Kong Island has the most beautiful night view in Asia, and when the lights come on, the whole city becomes like a paradise full of temptations.
And behind this paradise on earth, there are also many unknown filthiness and meanness, and in the face of power and wealth, not a single snowflake is clean.
Shek O Beach, which was part of the filming location of the movie "The King of Comedy", is also a villa area for foreigners on Hong Kong Island.
The wind on the seashore was very strong, blowing the woods to hunt.
Located on the large terrace of the mid-level villa, Chai Shao held a glass of expensive red wine and looked at the dark seaside in the distance.
The dim yellow light on the terrace illuminated his face even more hideously.
"Chai Shao, are you still thinking about the things of the day? Manly man, beware of being broad-minded, what you are worried about in front of you will not be worth mentioning in five or ten years. ”
The man who spoke was of medium height, not very tall, and his face was a little old, and at first glance, he looked at least fifty miles away, but his eyes were hawkish and wolf-looking, and they were unforgettable.
Very few people can talk to Chai Shao in person in such an educational tone, and the person in front of him is definitely one of them.
He is Chai Shao, except for his father Chai Jinxiong, who rarely maintains respect.
And this person's status in the Hong Kong Island entertainment industry also makes him only obedient and dare not have any dissatisfaction.
Because this person is not only a big star who has been popular for more than ten years, but also the pillar of Chai's Pictures, Chai's has one
Half of the box office income is tied to this person.
He is Bai Zhiwei, the winner of Best Actor at the last Hong Kong Island Film Awards, known as Uncle Zhi, the big brother in the film industry.
"Uncle Zhi, I understand the truth, I just can't swallow this breath. Those two mainlanders humiliated me in public, but my father didn't allow me to retaliate.
And that Zhu Qiuhong, who is completely immature and immature! Our Chai family has been popular with her for so many years, and now her wings are stiff, and she wants to run away to make a movie by herself?
Uncle Zhi looked at Chai Shao with a kind face, as if he was looking at his own son.
"Those two mainlanders are not afraid, just a little money will not be famous on Hong Kong Island. Your dad doesn't want you to be a bird, so there's no need to fight them. ”
"As for Zhu Qiuhong's woman, you can't touch her now!" Uncle Zhi frowned.
"Why? Her contract expires in three months, and if you don't take the opportunity to get her now, it will be even more difficult to bind her in the future. Chai Shao finally said what he was most worried about.
Uncle Zhi smiled, smiling so much that the folds on his face were squeezed together, as if old chrysanthemums had grown on his face.
"You can't touch her because everybody knows you're going to touch her. She's also a bit popular, and if you move him at this time to change the contract, those gossip magazines have a lot of topics to write about. When the time comes, your father's hair will have to be a few more gray.
As the saying goes, the son of a daughter does not sit down. With an identity like you Chai Shao, in order to deal with a mere Zhu Qiuhong, it is so ugly, why bother?"
Listening to what Uncle Zhi said, Chai Shao felt that it seemed to be right, it was like that.
As long as the family company continues to make money, he can live like an emperor on Hong Kong Island, so why use his precious porcelain to touch Zhu Qiuhong's earthen pot!
"However, if you want to vent your anger, Uncle Zhi can help you think of a way. Who knew that Uncle Zhi's words changed, and he said something that made Chai Shao's heart itch.
"Uncle Zhi, you must help me! That woman is too arrogant. I can't get her, and I don't want to be got by those mainland boys!" Chai Shao finally gritted his teeth and said what was in his heart.
Uncle Zhi smiled slightly, grinned widely, and said slowly in a slightly hoarse voice: "Understood." You just wait to see a good show! I want to see what kind of ability Zhu Qiuhong's little girl has to escape from the five-finger mountain of my Buddha. ”
At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhu Qiuhong and Zhou Min came to Menglin Legend Film and Television Co., Ltd. as promised.
Jiang Qizhi went back to Shencheng to do business, Chen Jiannan received two beauties in his office, and Lu Menglin was also on the side.
Everyone is young, and in terms of age, Zhu Qiuhong and Zhou Min are even older than the Nan brother in front of them, so they don't think they will be too restrained.
After going back yesterday, Zhu Qiuhong and Zhou Min also discussed at home for most of the night, and the signing of a contract with the new owner is not trivial, and they must not fall into a new predicament because they are in a hurry to get rid of a certain predicament.
Nange's company, so far, has not had a single blockbuster film and television work, not even a completed work.
For this industry, they are a completely new company, and it is really unknown how much strength they have.
If it is because the other party promised to let them have a movie to make, then they will be foolish and stupid to sign a contract of sale, then they are fools!
Zhu Qiuhong and Zhou Min are not newcomers and little girls who have just entered the industry, and the other party talked wildly before, and when it came to signing and drawing, it was not sloppy at all.
Although yesterday had a good chat with a couple of bosses
, I have a good impression of them, but when it comes to their own interests and future, we still can't take it lightly!
Therefore, with this cautious mentality, the two girls sat in front of Brother Nan with a little nervousness.
As for Lu Menglin, who was sitting on the side, in their eyes, it was just a lubricant, in case the two sides couldn't get along, he could mediate in the middle, so that the scene would not be too ugly.
Chen Jiannan casually flipped through the contracts signed by Zhu Qiuhong and Zhou Min with Chai's Pictures, pretended to read a few key information, and then gently put it on the table.
"I'm a very direct person, this kind of contract is too unfair to you artists. Chen Jiannan's first sentence made the two women stunned at the same time.
"These terms are all unequal, and the company has the majority of the initiative. If you sign this kind of contract, hehe! It is no exaggeration to say that you can do whatever you want. ”
When Chen Jiannan said this, the two women nodded in agreement.
The entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island has always been so dark, many artists can't even solve the problem of food and clothing before they become famous, even if they have the opportunity to become popular, they will be bound by the signing contract and do a lot of things for the company.
However, if you don't sign such an unequal contract, the company will never smash publicity resources on non-contracted artists, and artists without resources will never come out, and it is estimated that they will starve to death.
"If you sign this kind of contract, I don't think you will choose to sign it with our company. Chen Jiannan said honestly.
Zhu Qiuhong blinked in surprise and looked at this Nan brother with a surprised face.
She thought to herself, how can there be someone more than herself! This guy is not like the boss of the company at all, he is too upright.
Zhou Min hurriedly said on the side: "That's not true." We are still very confident in the strength of your company, as long as we can make that legendary movie, I believe that the company will be able to occupy a place in the entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island. ”
Chen Jiannan glanced at Lu Menglin inadvertently, and the latter nodded slightly.
"So, I'm going to invite both of you to participate in the project collaboration. To put it simply, the two of you participate in our company's film shooting as a free person, and participate in the form of basic salary plus commission, that is, box office revenue commission, what do you think?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Qiuhong and Zhou Min all widened their eyes and stared directly at the man in front of them.
You must know that this method is only eligible for a few big stars with the biggest names on Hong Kong Island, and this kind of investment is basically carried out by popular stars in many cases, accounting for both company shares and film investment shares.
"Of course, don't get me wrong. Our company is definitely not going to make just this one film. Legend is just a big IP in our hands, and there will be more movies in the future. ”
When Chen Jiannan said these awkward words, he was thinking about the damn Jiang Qizhi, these things should obviously be fooled by him, but he slipped back to the mainland at a critical moment.
The two women had not yet recovered from the huge shock, but Lu Menglin next to them spoke again.
"Actually, I have an idea, why don't you set up your own company, or studio, and work according to the way the project works. Lu Menglin asked.
The surprise in the eyes of the two women was even stronger, they had been in the Hong Kong Island entertainment industry for so many years, and no one had ever asked them such a question.
"In principle, all you need is a trustworthy broker to outsource the financial and legal business. Lu Menglin said with a smile.
