Chapter 303: Poaching Turmoil
In March, a number of business newspapers in Hong Kong basically carried out overwhelming coverage of Liu Luanxiong. For no other reason, Liu Luanxiong acquired the 60-year-old Chinese Real Estate, and then repeatedly sniped at other companies with unstable equity, and succeeded one by one, during which he took a company called China Entertainment.
Many entertainment media began to speculate that Liu Luanxiong had a Chinese entertainment company in his hands, thinking that it would largely start to get involved in the entertainment industry. Because Liu Luanxiong sniped at a number of companies, the only one left only two companies as listed companies, one is Chinese Real Estate, and the other is China Entertainment.
However, Liu Luanxiong did not publicly express any idea of stepping into the entertainment industry.
The Lin Baixing family, which is also one of the top ten consortia in Hong Kong, Lin Baixing's youngest son Lin Jianle began to take over part of the business of Lai Sun Group, and publicly showed great interest in the entertainment industry to the media, threatening to invest in the entertainment industry in the future and set up his favorite film and television company.
If Liu Luanxiong and Lin Jianle and other people with hard backgrounds and rich funds are willing to get involved in the entertainment industry and compete with Xu Ziming, many people in the film industry believe that this will curb Xu Ziming's monopoly on the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
The Hong Kong media is busy reporting on the other side of speculation, and Golden Harvest is also hurrying to speed up the poaching operation.
Zhou Xingchi's personality has always been relatively withdrawn, and he has made friends such as Wu Mengda and Liang Chaowei in the past few years.
If it weren't for Wu Mengda pulling him out to play cards today, Zhou Xingchi would definitely stay at home and watch TV alone, he felt that he was not very familiar with Wu Jiali and Liu Dehua, so there was really nothing to communicate.
Don't look at Liu Dehua who has helped Zhou Xingchi a lot before, in fact, Zhou Xingchi is grateful, but Zhou Xingchi still has some problems speaking, and there are some barriers in Liu Dehua's heart.
And Wu Jiali, although the two have cooperated, it was only a cooperation in movies, and their private friendship was basically zero.
A group of people played cards for a few hours, and seeing that it was getting dark, Wu Jiali left a few of them to eat at home, but Zhou Xingchi insisted on shirking and wanted to go back.
Wu Mengda had no choice but to drive Zhou Xingchi home, the two of them have no filming these days, and they are really panicked.
Zhou Xingchi's new home only has his mother, an older sister, and a younger sister.
"Ah Xing, there is a gentleman looking for you, he has been waiting at home for a long time. As soon as Zhou Xingchi came home, he listened to Xing's mother.
Not long ago, after being named the Five Heavenly Kings, Zhou Xingchi basically followed behind wherever he went.
After being annoyed, I changed to a new place and was quiet by myself. In order to make the family live better, she is especially careful to take the family to her new place these days, but she didn't expect someone to come to the door.
Zhou Xingchi was a little headache by the reporter during this time, and said in a low voice: "Mom, why do you let people come to the house indiscriminately?"
Xing's mother helped Zhou Xingchi take the slippers out, pointed to the living room and said, "It's Jiahe's people, it seems that there is something important looking for you." ”
What do the people of Golden Harvest come to do?
Zhou Xingchi doesn't think that Golden Harvest is here to make a movie with him, because he is an artist under the Oriental Film Company, and he will be too busy just to pick up the company's film sources, where does he have time to make some extra money.
Liang Feng was sitting in the living room drinking tea, and from time to time he would look up at the hall of Zhou Xingchi's new house, only to feel monotonous and shabby, he thought in his heart that such a family, in the face of 10 million, would there be a reason not to be moved?
Seeing Zhou Xingchi coming in, Liang Feng stood up and shook hands with Zhou Xingchi and said, "Mr. Zhou, I'm really sorry to take the liberty of bothering." ”
"Who are you?" Zhou Xingchi didn't know which character Liang Feng was.
"Liang Feng of the contemptible Golden Harvest Film Company. Liang Feng said
gave him a business card.
Zhou Xingchi took the business card and looked at it, then put it in his pocket casually and asked, "Is there anything Mr. Liang looking for me?"
Liang Feng said with a smile: "That's the case, our chairman admires your talent very much, Mr. Zhou, so let me pay a visit." ”
Most withdrawn people are more sensitive, and Zhou Xingchi is like that.
Liang Feng only mentioned it slightly, and Zhou Xingchi heard that the other party was trying to recruit him, and said in surprise: "Mr. Liang, I'm sorry, I'm a very straight person, I don't want to be a backbone." ”
"Mr. Zhou is serious, what is an anti-bone boy, you are not ungrateful, you are thinking about your family. ”
Liang Feng directly took out a check and said, "As long as Mr. Zhou comes to Golden Harvest for development, this 10 million will be yours." To be honest, how can an outstanding person like Mr. Zhou be measured by tens of millions. Although the Oriental Film Company is big, Mr. Zhou's status and resources are not as good as in the past, if Mr. Zhou comes to Golden Harvest, he can be directly praised like Cheng Long. ”
Liang Feng continued: "There are too many artists in Oriental Film Company now, and a big star like Mr. Zhou can't guarantee that he will receive a film every time, and I heard that Oriental Film Company has been promoting newcomers recently......"
Liang Feng's eloquence is indeed good, but this time he will finally kick the hard board.
Zhou Xingchi didn't think about it, and said without saying a word: "Mr. Liang, we're done talking." Please take back your money, I, Zhou Xingchi, have received favors from others, so I can't do such a thing. ”
Zhou Xingchi's achievements today are all from Xu Ziming's support, and he has been favored by others, how could he forget.
Liang Feng got up helplessly, he thought that Zhou Xingchi might agree when he said this, but he didn't expect Zhou Xingchi to refuse so thoroughly.
"Then don't bother Mr. Zhou. Liang Feng hurriedly said goodbye, Zhou Xingchi can't work here, he can still find Wan Ziliang.
When Liang Feng came to Wan Ziliang's house, after Zhou Xingchi's failed example, he decided not to bother anymore and started a direct money offensive.
Wan Ziliang, who had just drunk the tea, was a little dizzy when he saw the string of zeros on the check, his hands trembled involuntarily, and there was an impulse that tempted him to take the check down.
10 million, all kinds of mansions and luxury cars.
Calm down, be sure to be calm!
Wan Ziliang took a few deep breaths, swallowed his saliva and glanced at the check again, and forced himself to resist the impulse and asked, "Mr. Liang, I'm not that valuable, why did you find me?"
Wan Ziliang and Zhou Runfa and others were recognized by the Oriental Film Company as the Five Heavenly Kings, which shows that Wan Ziliang is basically on par with Zhou Runfa.
"Haha, Mr. Wan still underestimates himself," Liang Feng said with a smile, "There are not many movies in Hong Kong that have a box office of more than 30 million, and there are not many in Hong Kong that are now as well-known as Mr. Wan." A big star like you, staying in the Oriental Film Company and getting a salary twice as high as that of ordinary movie stars, even if you make a few films a year, it will take you a few years to buy a mansion worth tens of millions. If you come to Golden Harvest, you will earn at least twice as much money every year as Oriental Film Company. ”
Wan Ziliang must be grateful to Xu Ziming, without Xu Ziming's strong help, he may still be working wirelessly, and now he has finally become a movie star. But apart from gratitude, Wan Ziliang has no loyalty to Xu Ziming and Oriental Film Company, five million is enough to touch his heart, let alone ten million.
Carefully weighing the good and bad, Wan Ziliang's mind became more and more chaotic the more he thought about it, while Liang Feng encouraged him to change jobs from time to time.
A few minutes later, Wan Ziliang, who felt that his throat was dry, took a sip of water and said hesitantly: "This, you guys should talk to the Oriental Film Company first, and see if they let people go over there." ”
Wan Ziliang signed a brokerage contract with the Oriental Star Brokerage Company
Compared with later generations, many of the contents are much better, after all, the boss of Oriental Film Company is Xu Ziming, and many of the requirements are still very relaxed.
In addition to the brokerage contract, Wan Ziliang also signed a two-year film contract with Oriental Film Company, and the rights and obligations of both parties are that Wan Ziliang shoots at least two films at Oriental Film Company every year.
As for the liquidated damages for termination, it is not a sky-high price, that is, a small amount of 100,000 or 100,000.
I have to say that Xu Ziming's generosity buried a big hole for himself, and his spirit of humanitarianism made many people who were not very good under the Oriental Film Company see that the price paid for betrayal was very low.
However, at present, there is no star who has directly unilaterally announced the termination of the contract and jumped ship, after all, if the job-hopping party does not have the strength, it will be directly crushed by the Oriental Film Company.
Wan Ziliang's personality was very cautious, and in the end he resisted the temptation of 10 million huge sums of money, and smiled very reluctantly: "Mr. Liang, let me think about this matter first." ”
Liang Feng smiled: "Of course, it's only March, just give an answer within a week, Mr. Wan has a lot of time to think about it carefully." ”
After Liang Feng left, Wan Ziliang walked around the room anxiously, and even when he said that he would go to visit Deng Cuiwen on the night shift today, he forgot for a while that he didn't go.
After being anxious for more than three hours, Wan Ziliang dialed Zhou Yanfa's phone.
"Hey, who's so late?"
"Ah Fa, it's me, Wanzi. ”
"What's the matter? It's been a long time since the new drama, Wanzi, what's the urgency. ”
"Ah Fa, I have something I want to ask you. ”
"Be polite to me, and have something to say. ”
"If, I mean, somebody takes 10 million to poach me, what do you think I'm going to do?"
"Really?"
"You just think it's fake. ”
There was a sudden pause on the other end of the phone, and then Zhou Yanfa's voice came: "Is someone really digging you?"
"Alas, don't ask so much, do you think I should go?" Wan Ziliang said irritably.
Zhou Yan found that although he has long been popular, everything pays attention to timeliness, and without a good film, his popularity will be weakened.
Recently, Wu Yusheng has been specially tinkering with the movie between Zhou Runfa and Wan Ziliang, and Zhou Yunfa also feels that it is suitable for him to play with Wan Ziliang.
Zhou Yanfa didn't want to lose a good partner, so he naturally wanted to work hard to keep it, and said: "You have a sick brain, what's wrong with the Oriental Film Company, aren't you completely offending the Oriental Film Company by doing this?"
Wan Ziliang said: "If I have to leave, the company has no way, and someone will help me pay liquidated damages when I go to court." ”
"Will the company sue you in court? Let me tell you, it's far more than that, after you change jobs, it will be completely blocked, and you may never turn over in the entertainment industry!"
Zhou Yunfa began to threaten, "If you do this, others will treat you as a backbone boy for the rest of their lives." If you leave at this time, you will be looked down upon by any company you go to. ”
Wan Ziliang said: "Is it so serious?"
Wan Ziliang had the experience of jumping from Li's radio station to a radio station before, so he still took it for granted.
Zhou Yunfa said with a smile: "If you go, Wanzi, you will definitely not be able to mix in the entertainment industry in the future." As long as you can bear it, you can change jobs. ”
Wan Zihao seemed to be really frightened, holding the microphone for a long time and not speaking.
Zhou Yunfa finally couldn't help but say: "You have to think about it yourself, there is no regret medicine in the world, just like that, I'll hang up first." ”
Wan Ziliang held the phone and was even more confused, not knowing what to do.
