425 [Song Zhichao with a black belly]
If you remember it well, Song Zhichao clearly remembers that 1992 was the famous "Year of Zhou Xingchi", and Zhou Xingchi filmed six or seven dramas throughout the year, and these seven dramas also ranked at the top of the Hong Kong box office rankings, namely "The Judge of the Dead" in the first place at the box office, "Happy Events in the Family" in the second place, "The Legend of the Deer and Ding" in the third place, "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier" in the fourth place, and "The Legend of the Deer and Ding Ji: The Divine Dragon Sect" in the fifth place, etc. It can be said that in 1992, Zhou Xingchi created a history that only belonged to him, and the top five box office movies in Hong Kong were all starring him, which also took advantage of this to "become a god" in one fell swoop.
Then again, for the play "The Legend of Deer and Ding", "Wei Xiaobao" played by Zhou Xingchi has been cleverly interpreted in a nonsensical way, even in the next ten years, it will still be a classic among the classics.
Of course, for Song Zhichao, it doesn't matter if he is classic or not, the most important thing is to make money, as long as he can make money, he will be happy--- in essence, he is a mercenary businessman, there is no high-spirited style, the spirit of dedication to art, and there is no great enough courage to know that a drama can lose money and die, and support it to the end.
So when facing Liu Dehua's "Legend of the God of War", Song Zhichao immediately tactfully vetoed it, but for the "Deer and Ding Ji" mentioned by Zhou Xingchi, he directly decided to invest in filming.
Faced with Song Zhichao making a decision so quickly, Stephen Chow was stunned, "Mr. Song, the investment in this drama is also a lot of money, I discussed it with the director, and I may have to invite some very well-known actors, such as Liu Songren, Zhang Min, and Lin Qingxia, etc., the most important thing is that Mr. Jin Yong's book is very long, and a movie can't bear it at all, and it is likely to shoot a sequel--- so the investment may be as high as fifty or sixty million ......"
"Fifty or sixty million? What ...... this" At this time, Song Zhichao really wanted to say loudly to Zhou Xingchi, "You can rest assured to shoot, I can still take out fifty or sixty million, even if I smash the pot and sell iron, I will support you......" But after glancing at Liu Dehua, who looked complaining, Song Zhichao didn't say these words, on the contrary, he glanced at Zhou Xingchi with a very heavy look, and then supported his chin with his hand, as if he was thinking.
In the end, Song Zhichao gritted his teeth and said: "I decided, or invest in filming, after all, our movie made money this time, I decided to use the money I earned to invest in the filming of your "Deer and Ding Ji" first--- as for Andy's new play, Andy, your "Legend of God of War" starring you, it should sell well, it is not difficult to find investors, I will no longer participate in investment--- of course, in order to express my apologies to you, so let's do it, I have a movie with a fairly large cost budget here, called "The Peerless Twins" , we are also going to invite Lin Qingxia to star in this play, if you are interested, you can join it!"
After Song Zhichao finished speaking, he looked at Liu Dehua with hopeful eyes, on the surface, this drama is his refusal to invest in Liu Dehua's "The Legend of Victory", but in fact, he is using Liu Dehua to make money--- you must know that in the previous life, Liu Dehua and Lin Qingxia co-starred in "The Peerless Double Pride" However, it won nearly 20 million box office in Hong Kong, plus the box office in Taiwan, Southeast Asia and other regions, as well as the sale of film copyrights, the total profit is as high as about 30 million, and the investment is only five or six million, which can be regarded as a super profitable commercial film.
It's a pity that the kind-hearted Andy didn't know this, he thought that Song Zhichao was really "guilty" about him, so he took the initiative to invite him to shoot the drama "The Peerless Double Pride", the most important thing is that Song Zhichao took out the heroine "Lin Qingxia" to seduce Lau Dehua.
Who is Lin Qingxia? The goddess of this era! Of course, she is also the object that Liu Dehua hopes to cooperate with. What's more, Zhou Xingchi's "Deer and Ding Ji: Divine Dragon Sect" can cooperate with Lin Qingxia, why can't he?
Immediately, Liu Dehua agreed to Song Zhichao very "righteously": "Okay, I am willing to star in "The Peerless Double Pride"!"
Hearing Liu Dehua say this, Song Zhichao smiled and said: "Sure enough, Andy, you are super righteous, I'll give you a thumbs up!"
Liu Dehua didn't understand what it meant to give a thumbs up, but he could feel that this was Song Zhichao praising himself--- pitiful he didn't know that he was going to sink into the sand soon, and he was dragged to death by "The Legend of the God of War", let alone that Song Zhichao would use the drama "Peerless Double Pride" to make Phantom Entertainment make a lot of money again.
......
Phantom Entertainment's annual meeting is temporarily over.
Liu Dehua, Zhou Xingchi and other senior executives left one after another, and soon, only Song Zhichao and Fu Ershao Fu Jiajun were left in the entire conference room.
Fu Jiajun yawned, and suddenly said to Song Zhichao: "Don't you think it's too much for you to cheat Hua Tsai like this?"
Song Zhichao smiled slightly, "You see that?"
"I'm also the second boss of the company, when did our company plan to shoot "The Peerless Twins"? It's clearly a decision you just made. Fu Jiajun was rare and smart, "Also, why don't you invest in the filming of "The Legend of the God of War"? ”
Song Zhichao took out a cigarette case, took out a cigarette and threw it to Fu Jiajun, and he also took out one and put it in his mouth, lit it, took a puff and said: "If I say that "The Legend of the God of War" will pay for death, do you believe it?"
Fu Ershao flicked the cigarette in the ashtray, raised his face and said to Song Zhichao with a smile: "I may not believe it before, but now I believe it." ”
"Why?"
"Because your name is Superman!" Fu Jiajun said with a smile, "Of course, some people call you Slut Super, but I still prefer others to call you Superman--- you really look like a Superman, since I met you, you have created one miracle after another." ”
After a pause, Fu Jiajun squinted, took a puff of cigarette and said: "I don't know why, now I believe you very much, even if you say that Andy's "God of War" will be compensated, I will believe it, because since I met you, you Song Zhichao have never made a money-losing transaction!"
"Oh my God, you don't know, sometimes I pinch my fingers, you are even more Kongming than Zhuge Kongming, starting from the business world, almost nothing is missing, never missed--- if you are not a big living person, I really doubt that you are sent by God!"
After sighing, Fu Jiajun said again: "So my father often tells me, you are lucky enough, enough, as long as you follow you to do things, it will be right!"
Song Zhichao smiled: "Then I asked you to invest in the stock market with me, why don't you invest?"
Fu Jiajun also smiled, "It's not that I don't vote, it's because I'm about to get married--- by the way, our family will hold an engagement banquet tonight, you must come!"
Song Zhichao: "......"
He didn't expect --- didn't expect Fu Jiajun to get engaged.
It came so suddenly, so bizarrely.
