"Mr. Zou is so polite, but I still want to try it myself. Xu Zhi shook his head and replied, Zou Wenhuai's conditions look very good, but even if it is put in the contract, there is no executable operation, everything is a false promise, if it is really agreed, Jiahe may not invest any resources, do it well, even if it is shared, Jiahe will also make money, if it is not done, Jiahe will not lose anything.

Zou Wenhuai saw that Xu Zhi's refusal was very direct and without any consideration, so he smiled and said: "It seems that I still underestimate Xu Sheng, Xu Sheng is very firm in his goal, but I am abrupt!." ”

Xu Zhidao: "It's not a firm goal, I'm just confident in the story I wrote!"

Regardless of whether he agrees or not, in fact, Xu Zhi only has one chance, and if he fails, he will not have any chance for at least a few years.

Even if Jiahe really agrees to invest in himself, he must read the script, not to mention whether Jiahe will take the script to cross the river and tear down the bridge, even if it is a normal investment, Xu Zhi will not have the right to speak about how to shoot, who will direct, or even who will act, in this role he is just a screenwriter and does not have any right to speak.

If the movie is a big hit, how many commissions can he get?

The only benefit of agreeing to Golden Harvest's investment is to avoid risks. But the drunken boxing in history was released in 78, and now it is 77 years, a difference of one year, and there is no reason for it to fail. Even if you can't get the results of the next generation, it should not be much worse, and there is a high probability that you will not lose, in this case, Xu Zhi does not dare to cooperate too deeply with Jiahe, otherwise the benefits are too great, Zou Wenhuai is saying it well now, and the situation will be different when the time comes.

There are two kinds of people in the world who are the most stupid: those who believe in their leaders and those who believe in their partners. It's not that you can't believe it, at least until you are familiar with it, you should never bet your net worth in the hands of others.

Zou Wenhuai saw that Xu Zhi refused to agree, so he thought for a while and asked: "I heard Luo Wei say that the condition of your cooperation with him is to give him the copyright of Iron and Blood Tianjiao, so you want to borrow Chen Long to make other movies?"

Xu Zhidao: "Yes, the other one, I originally wanted to write it as a novel, but the plot was too small and not very suitable, so I thought about whether it could be changed into a movie." ”

Zou Wenhuai nodded and asked: "It takes a lot of money to make a movie, I have already sent someone to investigate your situation, even if your house is sold, it is not enough, where do you get the money to invest?"

Xu Zhi smiled: "I don't have it, but Mr. Zou does!"

Zou Wenhuai laughed and said, "Xu Sheng, you don't plan to ask me to borrow money, do you! Although I am quite optimistic about you, I will not be stupid enough to borrow a large sum of money from a stranger." ”

Xu Zhixiao asked, "Is Zou Sheng worried that I can't afford it?"

Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "No, if you can keep writing a few good quality novels, I will lend you hundreds of thousands, you should be able to pay it back even if you lose, in fact, if you lose, I am not afraid, I am afraid that you will really succeed, why should I borrow money to cultivate a competitor, unless you are willing to join Golden Harvest, I will consider it!"

Xu Zhidao: "Golden Harvest's status in Xiangjiang is now unrivaled, are you afraid of another opponent?"

Zou Wenhuai shook his head and said: "No one will think that there is a lot of money, if you find a way to invest in movies by yourself, we will follow the rules of the industry, but if you are not willing to join Golden Harvest, it is impossible for me to spend money to cultivate my own competitors, and it is not a question of how much money."

In fact, Xu Sheng can go back and think about it slowly, join us Jiahe, if you use Jiahe's funds, we will review the script, and you don't have any risk if you pass it, although the final score is less, but it is better to be stable. If you insist on investing in the movies you make yourself, we have no problem, we Golden Harvest have a huge distribution capacity, we can sell the film to RB and South Asia, and in the end, everyone will share the money together, and it will not be less than what you make by tossing it yourself!"

Xu Zhi thought for a while and said: "I can consider handing over the overseas distribution of the film to Golden Harvest, but at present, it is only this one movie, we can sign a contract for a movie, as for the future, I will not settle it now!"

Zou Wenhuai looked at Xu Zhi and said: "It's okay, but if you say so, you still have to insist on investing yourself, if we only sign a distribution agreement, I won't give you a penny, and whether you can sell it overseas depends on the results!"

Xu Zhi nodded and smiled: "I understand, in fact, the main purpose of my coming today is not for movies, but for a business I want to do with Mr. Zou." ”

Zou Wenhuai was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously: "What business?"

Xu Zhi didn't answer, but asked, "Mr. Zou's biggest competitor should be Sir Shao!?"

Zou Wenhuai frowned, but still said, "Yes." ”

Xu Zhidao: "Although Sir Shao seems to be inferior to Zou Sheng in the film industry now, he is also the general manager of TVB, the largest TV station in Hong Kong, although the Li family still controls the board of directors, but Li Xiaohe's health has not been very good, if he dies one day, I am afraid that TVB will inevitably fall into the hands of Sir Shao, and his influence will be even stronger at that time." ”

Zou Wenhuai smiled: "It's true, but can you still give me a TV station?"

Everything Xu Zhi said was actually considered by Zou Wenhuai, although in the early 70s, Shaw Brothers decided to slowly give up the film industry, and led to his own departure and entrepreneurship. can become Xiao He and Xiao He lose, and his achievements in movies in recent years also agree with Shao Yifu, who stimulated.

Although he is worth hundreds of millions, he is an upstart in the rich circle of Xiangjiang. Compared with Shao Yifu, who has been in business for decades, it is still far behind, and now Shaw Brothers is focusing on the competition for TV stations, after all, TVB and Shaw Brothers are not one now, and there is a board of directors on TVB Shaw. Many collaborations can't be too deep, but if Run Run Shaw really succeeds in taking over one day, TVB's resources will inevitably help Shaw Brothers go further, and Run Run Shaw can calmly mobilize funds to enter the film industry.

Xu Zhi smiled: "Of course I can't give Zou Sheng a TV station, but another industry that increases its influence can." ”

"Industries that increase influence?" Zou Wenhuai pondered for a while, and said, "You mean newspapers?"

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Yes! The media is currently controlled by three major industries: film and television and newspapers, each of which has its own profits and profits, all of which depend on their own ability to make money. Run Run Shaw has a TV station, so if Zou Sheng has a big newspaper, one can diversify and develop, not putting all his eggs in one basket, and the other can also increase his influence, especially in the political circles, and if any movie is going to be released, it can also save some advertising costs, killing more birds with one stone, I don't know what Zou Sheng thinks?"

Zou Wenhuai looked at Xu Zhi, pondered for a while, and said, "Does Xu Sheng want me to invest in a newspaper, and then your novel will be serialized on it?"

Xu Zhi shook his head and smiled: "I want shares!"

Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "Xu Sheng's ambition is really not small, but even if I give you shares, if you want to invest in the future, you also need to invest according to the proportion of shareholdings, which is not a small amount of money." ”

Xu Zhidao: "So Zou Sheng invested first, as long as my novel is well written, the newspaper itself can maintain balance." ”

Zou Wenhuai thought for a while and said, "How many shares does Xu Sheng want?"

Xu Zhi replied: "I invested in the content of the novel and asked for 30% of the shares, and Mr. Zou invested 3 million Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 70% of the shares, and at the same time I want to have a veto!"

PS: There may be a chapter today, the contract has been sent, and everyone can invest with peace of mind
