Chapter 101: Cooperation with Shaw

"God of Gamblers" was finally released 25 days later, the box office attendance rate was less than 50%, and it was finally directly painted, and the local box office in Hong Kong alone has reached 32 million!

This result can be said to have refreshed the results of the Hong Kong box office, and caused a great sensation in the whole Hong Kong. Xu Ziming's original investment has paid off just by relying on the box office in Hong Kong.

Most of the headlines in Hong Kong's entertainment section touted the box office results of "God of Gamblers", and "The Best Fearful Show" was only 27 million, but this is also a very good result. Similarly, while reporting on "God of Gamblers", well-known newspapers and magazines like "Ming Pao" are also analyzing the reasons for the continuous masterpieces of Xinyicheng.

Although the outside media knows that "God of Gamblers" is a masterpiece written by Wang Jin and Xu Ziming, one point that cannot be ignored is that it belongs to Xinyicheng like the "Best Partner" series.

The popularity of "God of Gamblers" not only made Xinyicheng fall into entertainment heat again, but the stars who starred in "God of Gamblers" also rose and their popularity continued to rise. Liu Dehua turned out to be just a trick, but with this movie, he has almost reached the level of a quasi-first-class star, and Guan Zhilin debuted earlier than Liu Dehua, so now he can be described as a first-class star, and the film appointments are continuous.

"Andy, you are a big star now, don't forget Gou Fugui, you remember. Wu Jiali swayed Liu Dehua's hand, her face full of envy.

Liang Jiahui said with a smile: "Jiali, let go of Andy, Mr. Shao must be in a hurry when he asks him to go in, otherwise he will not send people to urge him continuously." ”

Liu Dehua became famous for playing the role of "God of Gamblers", when he and his good friends were in class as usual in the infinite training class, the wireless Shao Yifu had already filmed two people in a row to urge him to pass, and the others were very envious.

Shao Yifu intends to cultivate Liu Dehua, which many people love to see.

At this time, there is a person who regrets it very much, this person is Dai Zhiwei, a few months ago, he also sneered at Liu Dehua for going to Xinyi City for an interview for a deflated matter, but he didn't expect that it was only two months in the blink of an eye, and a trick had become a first-line star, and Liu Dehua was unexpectedly famous.

Dai Zhiwei touched his nostrils that were a little pantothenic, and when he saw the three of them pulling and pulling, he was both jealous and envious, he wished that he was the same as Wu Jiali and Liang Jiahui, and he was willing to be Liu Dehua's follower.

Liu Dehua broke free from Wu Jiali's pair of jade hands, took a deep breath, walked to the door of Shao Yifu's office and stopped again, facing the window of the next room, tidied up his clothes, and saw if there was anything wrong, he felt that this time he was more nervous than the last time Shao Yifu called him in, what the reason was, he may not know.

"Bang bang

As a result, there was no response after knocking several times, a secretary came over and explained, Mr. Xu came just now, Mr. Shao went to the third floor to talk, what's the matter, you sit inside and wait for a while, after Mr. Shao finishes speaking, he will come down.

Liu Dehua nodded in understanding, and then entered the huge empty office alone.

When Andy just sat on the sofa and waited nervously, Xu Ziming and Shao Yifu's words also entered the "white heat".

Xu Ziming said bluntly: "Sixth uncle, you and I are very aware of the large number of layoffs of Shaw Brothers, obviously the Shaw Brothers' large-scale studio system can no longer support it, in the past few years, except for the "God of Gamblers" film that I collaborated with Shaw Brothers, as well as a few films by a few other directors, most of Shaw Brothers' films are losing money, and making films is losing money. ”

Shao Yifu nodded in acquiescence, this matter is indeed true.

Xu Ziming could have asked Wang Jin to speak, but Wang Jin, the person in charge of Mingjia Film and Film Company, is just a decoration here in Shao Yifu, and he has no aura at all, so Xu Ziming simply went out by himself to solve the problem of cooperation with Shaw Brothers," The huge Shaw Brothers completely demolished the east wall to make up for the west wall, and invested the money earned from the only few films into the hands of the theater chain and other directors who did not make money, but the projects of the theater chain and the directors who did not make money were completely bottomless, even if the Shaw Brothers' emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, even if the sixth uncle's family was very rich, but they couldn't bear such a long-standing income and put money inside. ”

Xu Ziming's words were unceremoniously, and he completely ripped off the fig leaf of the Shaw Brothers, saying it so bluntly, Shao Yifu's face became ugly all of a sudden, because Xu Ziming was right, he wanted to dominate the Xiangjiang film industry back then, and the Shaw Brothers, who stood side by side with Golden Harvest in the past ten years, had reached such a point that they were about to close down, shame, as the head of the Shaw Brothers, as the pioneer who brought the Shaw Brothers from scratch to the peak step by step, the real legend of the Hong Kong film industry, Shao Yifu's old face couldn't help but feel that it was inevitable to be embarrassed and ugly。

"Ziming seems to have a very deep understanding of our Shaw Brothers. Shao Yifu's figure was a little hoarse and said.

"I don't know the profound point, the Shaw Brothers is the brainchild of the sixth uncle, and it is also a film company that I am optimistic about, I want to deal with other film companies in Hong Kong, and the cooperation of the Shaw Brothers is inevitable and indispensable. Xu Ziming nodded solemnly, saying that he had no other heart for Shaw Brothers, and the key was to hope for win-win cooperation.

"Yes, Ziming is right, Shaw Brothers Cinemas has been losing money all year round, and I want to transfer it, but that is my hard work in Hong Kong films for many years, and I am reluctant to give up. , Ziming can guess the old man's mind from the clues, I have to say that Ziming's mind is too meticulous and too clear. ”

Shao Yifu praised Xu Ziming with a sigh, and then his eyes narrowed and he said, "It's just that what is Ziming's cooperation plan?"

"I can't explain the plan at once, after all, I'm not good at writing", Qiao Feng nodded with a smile, then took out a document, flipped through the corresponding content, and handed it to Shao Yifu to read.

"I think it's good that your Mingjia Cinemas and my Shaw Brothers Cinemas have reached a harmonious relationship, but what is this evaluation team for? Shao Yifu asked with a smile. He glanced at the contents, which the assessment team had never heard before.

"As the name suggests, the evaluation team is the group that reviews the quality of the film. The members of the evaluation team, Shaw Brothers and Ming Jia each have half of them, is to review the film works of both sides, if the review is passed, and the work is good, then the two theaters will jointly screen this movie, which also means that a masterpiece, our two theaters will be released at the same time. Xu Ziming explained in detail.

"Then your agreement, is it a bit out of bounds? Shao Yifu pointed to this agreement to Xu Ziming, this is about the question of wireless artists.

Xu Ziming said: "Sixth uncle, in a short time, I will also be a shareholder of wireless, is there anything wrong with this agreement?"

What Qiu Degen mentioned last time, Xu Ziming went back and thought about it for a long time, and felt that it was okay, Qiu Degen promised to sell 10% of his wireless shares, Xu Ziming was willing, but Xu Ziming, after the establishment of the cinema company, the money in his hand had already been tightened in construction, and the only thing that could be used was more than one billion mortgaged by HSBC.

In a few months, Hong Kong's property market is about to collapse, and Hui Ziming is confident that he will make a big profit, and while acquiring this 10% of the shares, he can successfully break his bet with Xu Shifen in advance.

Shao Yifu grinned, Qiu Degen's sale of shares was rumored at the top of the wireless skyline, and he naturally knew that Xu Ziming might have made a deal with Qiu Degen.

When the two were still discussing the issue of cooperation, when they immediately reached an agreement, a female assistant suddenly knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Shao, the person you called before is still waiting for you below." ”

Xu Ziming and Shao Yifu chatted for a long time, and for about another hour and a half, Shao Yi's conversation was so interesting that he forgot that there was another Andy to talk about, but after being reminded, he said directly: "Bring him here directly." ”

The female assistant reacted relatively quickly, and as soon as she heard the words, she hurried to the place where Liu Dehua was staying.

Liu Dehua waited for a full hour, but he didn't see the slightest shadow of Shao Yifu, he was a little unhappy, and then followed the female assistant up.

Liu Dehua shouted deeply as he knocked on the door, and his small hand was a little white.

"Come in. Shao Yifu gave a direct order, and Liu Dehua pushed the door open.

Seeing his eyes, Liu Dehua saw not only Shao Yifu sitting in the office, but also someone he was familiar with, that is, Xu Ziming.

Liu Dehua found a place to sit down under Shao Yifu's instructions, and then listened to Shao Yifu say to Xu Ziming on the side: "Ziming, I am very optimistic about your plan, when will it start, I will talk to Ah Hua." ”

Seeing that the two finally stopped, Liu Dehua began to ask, "Mr. Shao, what's the matter?"

After Shao Yifu closed the documents in his hand, he said: "Originally, I had something to say to you, but Ziming is here, so let Ziming say it." ”

Xu Ziming's proposal that Mingjia Film Co., Ltd. and Shaw Brothers Film Company can sign contracts with wireless artists at the same time, this plan is really novel.

"Take Andy, for example. Xu Ziming just clicked on the real question, "Wireless artists can sign contracts at the same time in Shaw Brothers and Mingjia to shoot movies, and their salaries and benefits are evaluated by our standards for Shaw Brothers." ”

Liu Dehua was a little surprised, he read the newspaper and knew what "Mingjia" in Xu Ziming's mouth meant, that was Xu Ziming's latest film company, and at the same time signed a wireless artist, so he Liu Dehua can be in Shaw Brothers or Mingjia.

"Andy, you are the first to know the news. Xu Ziming joked after finishing speaking.

Liu Dehua said excitedly: "I can follow Mr. Xu to make movies in the future." ”
