43 Reception
For a big reception, you need to choose a dazzling place. But an ordinary party, a small hotel is fine.
There are too many people at the reception, and it is easy for outsiders to mix in, but the crew gathering is different, there are more than 60 people in total, including from the director to the assistant, from the protagonist Chen Long to some supporting roles with a few lines, of course, plus several bigwigs invited from Golden Harvest.
Zou Wenhuai walked in from the main gate with He Guanchang and others, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect this kid to make so much money and still be so stingy, so he chose this kind of place." ”
After the box office explosion of the movie invested by ordinary people, they will not hesitate to choose well-known hotels such as Peninsula and Mandarin Oriental as celebrations, Xu Zhi just chose a medium-sized hotel in Kowloon, Piaoxiang Garden, which is naturally a little different in the eyes of Zou Wenhuai and others.
He Guanchang said: "Drunken boxing is a hit, but our box office share hasn't been given to him yet, so I chose here!"
Zou Wenhuai smiled and didn't answer, shook hands with Xu Zhi who came over and said, "Congratulations to Xu Sheng, you have become an instant hit in the film industry!"
Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Don't dare to be, luck is enough, in fact, Chen Long is also a good actor, he is very talented, it is very likely to become the next Li Xiaolong, of course, thanks to Zou Sheng's help." ”
Zou Wenhuai said: "Xu Sheng is too modest. ”
Xu Zhi said with a smile: "The sales of Jiahe Daily are getting higher and higher now, and I have to congratulate Zou Sheng!"
Zou Wenhuai was very happy after listening to it, as the plot of Kunlun unfolded, the copy of Tianji Palace was opened, and the secrets of various magical tricks and mathematics began to be revealed, and a large number of people were attracted to it.
Of course, Zou Wenhuai's net worth doesn't care about this advertising fee, he makes a movie casually, and the profit exceeds that of the entire newspaper. But the power of the newspaper's propaganda made him happy, and some time ago, Golden Harvest Daily wrote an article commenting on the stock market, and then the senior management of the Xiangjiang Exchange immediately invited him to dinner, which was only a small matter, but it also showed that his influence had begun to expand.
Zou Wenhuai said: "Our Jiahe Daily has just started now, naturally it can't compare to a big newspaper like Ming Pao, I heard that Xu Sheng wants to write a novel for Ming Pao, this is a bit unkind, anyway, you are also a shareholder of our newspaper, how can the fertilizer water flow into the fields of outsiders?"
Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Zou Sheng's information is really well-informed, but I can't just buy shares in a hotel, I have to live in this hotel for the rest of my life." ”
Zou Wenhuai said: "It's just a suggestion, after all, if Jiahe Daily becomes bigger, the benefits to Xu Sheng will be greater, and Xu Sheng should be very clear about this." ”
Xu Zhi nodded and said: "I understand this, but the cooperation with Ming Pao is also my own business, and it has nothing to do with Jiahe Daily." ”
Zou Wenhuai smiled: "Okay, Xu Sheng's movie was a great success this time, I don't know if I have considered joining our Golden Harvest, Xu Sheng has a talent for making movies, and our Golden Harvest has a strong channel, and we will join forces to make the film market in Xiangjiang bigger." ”
Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Of course, it's good to be able to cooperate with Jiahe, but this matter is not trivial, we can discuss it slowly afterwards, let's enter the venue now, Zou Sheng, Xu Sheng, please ......"
Zou Wenhuai didn't ask, and said with a smile: "Okay, then let's go in first." ”
After Xu Zhi sent everyone in, he returned to the door, and soon ushered in many members of the crew.
Soon, Chen Long and Luo Wei also followed, Luo Wei raised his eyebrows during this time, Chen Long became a hot star in Xiangjiang with a drunken boxing movie, and it is easy for people with vision to see that Chen Long's performance style has replaced the martial arts moves of Li Xiaolong's era, and it is difficult to find someone suitable for this style in a group of actors in Xiangjiang now.
It has only been less than 20 days since the release, but the number of people who have come to seek cooperation has exceeded double digits, of course, these are all rejected by Luo Wei, he wants to make his own movie, and all the profits should be his own.
However, after seeing Xu Zhi, his good mood was immediately destroyed, thinking that the other party still had a few contracts in his hand, his heart was like a knife, and he ignored Xu Zhi's hand stretched out in the air, and said directly: "Xu Sheng is really successful now!"
Xu Zhi withdrew his hand and said, "That's not as good as Luo Sheng, I just earned a movie, you can earn a superstar!"
Luo Wei snorted and said: "Xu Sheng, please say it directly! How can I terminate that contract, 2 million is too expensive, I can give you 1 million directly, but I have to wait for a year, and then I will give it to you immediately, otherwise everyone will go to court, and it may not be the end." ”
Xu Zhi ignored him and said, "Luo Sheng, please come in, we'll talk about this matter later." ”
Luo Wei saw that Xu Zhi refused to say more, and his face suddenly looked bad, but when he saw that Zou Wenhuai and the others were also inside, he didn't dare to have any conflicts in front of the public, so he walked in directly.
"Aaron, congratulations on becoming a superstar. Xu Zhi said with a smile.
Chen Longxi smiled and said, "It's still Ah Zhi, your idea is good, I didn't expect the results to be so good." ”
Xu Zhidao: "Now that you have succeeded, some things are different from before, remember that celebrities are also half businessmen, and businessmen have to think about themselves." ”
Long Chen also seemed to understand, nodded, said hello, and went in directly.
Lin Siqi had been standing next to him as a vase, putting on a smiling face, and after everyone entered, he asked, "Boss, have you been hinting at Long Chen just now?"
Xu Zhi smiled: "Almost! Luo Wei has vision and perseverance, but he is too obsessed with interests, this kind of person, no one will have any future if he follows him?"
Lin Siqi said: "Then our company is ready to sign Chen Long?"
Xu Zhidao: "It's difficult, now he's carrying a piece of gold!"
Lin Siqi nodded, she actually wanted to ask Luo Wei what the contract was, but since Xu Zhi didn't tell her, he might not know if he took the initiative to ask.
Xu Zhi suddenly said, "Who are these people?"
Lin Siqi looked at it and hurriedly whispered: "They are the person in charge of buying the film in the bend, and the middle one is called Wang Xuejun." ”
Xu Zhi suddenly came to his senses, in fact, now Zou Wenhuai is secondary, these people at this banquet are the people Xu Zhi really wants to contact, and it is too abrupt to invite these people directly, and this will also make the negotiation at a disadvantage, and it is much better to invite in the name of the group.
There were three people coming, Xu Zhi took a step forward and said with a smile: "Welcome, welcome." ”
Wang Xuejun said: "I have heard of Xu Sheng's name for a long time, your Kunlun is my favorite novel, comparable to Kim Yong Gulong!"
Xu Zhi smiled: "Wang Sheng has a good reputation, please inside." ”
Wang Xuejun said with a smile: "We are probably the latest to come, Xu Sheng will go in together!"
"Good. Xu Zhi agreed, motioned to Lin Siqi, and went in with Wang Xuejun and the others.
