At the time of the film screening, although the film was given to Golden Harvest, Xu Zhi also specially arranged people to guard it at all times, for a movie, the importance of film needless to say, in the later digital era, many blockbusters are transmitted through satellite encryption. And after the movie was played, the film was quickly recovered.

Different from selling foreign ports, Golden Harvest cooperates with other companies, not to collect money directly, but to share it slowly, although the final income is high, but there is a certain pressure on the funds, so time is extremely important, the faster the overseas release, the faster the speed of dividends, and getting the negatives as soon as possible, translating and dubbing is the most important thing.

At the end of the banquet, Xu Zhi took Lin Siqi and gave red envelopes to all the behind-the-scenes personnel and supporting actors involved in the production of the film, which is also the rule of the Xiangjiang film industry, as for the real big names, such as several protagonists, directors, photographers, etc., there are bigger red envelopes, but now Xu Zhi's funds are about to bottom out, and he can only wait until the Xiangjiang box office arrives or the income from other cities arrives.

After the feast was over, they went back to their homes and looked for their mothers.

The next day, Xu Zhi finally got Golden Harvest's share, 7.1 million box office, after deducting entertainment tax, according to the sharing agreement, Xu Zhi should get 2.2 million Hong Kong dollars, and then deduct 500,000 loans, a total of 1.7 million, Changxing Company's finances that have been unable to make ends meet have finally ended.

According to the agreement, Xu Zhi sent the negatives to Golden Harvest.

Naturally, the matter of the negatives was handled by his subordinates, He Guanchang invited Xu Zhi to his office, and the two drank Zou Wenhuai's cat coffee.

"Xu Sheng, I don't know what the next movie is going to make?" He Guanchang asked.

Xu Zhi shook his head: "I haven't planned it yet, let's talk about it after a while!"

He Guanchang said: "In fact, the movie Drunken Boxing can already make a person sit and eat nothing, and it will not be spent in a lifetime, but I don't think Xu Sheng will be such a person, we Golden Harvest have been committed to bringing Xiangjiang's movies to the world, and I also hope that Xu Sheng can join us to achieve this goal together." ”

Xu Zhidao: "Do you have any plans to go international?"

He Guanchang said: "In the past, we only had this goal, but we didn't know how to implement it, but now it's different, we already have a complete plan. ”

Xu Zhi asked, "What plan?"

He Guanchang said: "How did Li Xiaolong break into Hollywood back then, we are going to create another one today." ”

Xu Zhi smiled: "You mean Chen Long, but he is Luo Wei's person." ”

He Guanchang said: "It used to be. ”

"What do you mean......" Xu Zhi understood what he meant, it seems that just like history, Long Chen was also dug up by Jiahe. All this was done in secret, and Shaw Brothers and Jiahe contacted Chen Long even over and over, not to mention Xu Zhi, an outsider, even Luo Wei didn't know.

Xu Zhi said again: "Jiahe is really confident!"

He Guanchang said: " That is, I heard that although the director of Drunken Boxing is Yuan Heping, the filming plot is planned by Xu Sheng, and many of the jokes in it are also proposed by Xu Sheng, Xu Sheng's talent is exactly what we need Jiahe, and if we cooperate, Changxing Company can become a satellite subsidiary of Jiahe, and only need to be responsible for filming in the future, and we will be responsible for a series of other follow-up things by Jiahe, and our distribution ability Xu Sheng should also know that although we will charge some hard fees, but in the end, the income that can reach Xu Sheng's hands is definitely only a lot more than just selling foreign ports。 ”

It seems to be a good plan, but there is too much room for maneuvering, and the share of the local box office and overseas box office in Xiangjiang can be faked, even if you doubt the box office data, you can't find Golden Harvest's accounts, unless you really go to court, there is a little possibility. But if this is the case, it will never be Golden Harvest who has fallen out with you, but all theaters, who is willing to cooperate with you?

Even if it is really a long-term cooperation, it will not pit you too ruthlessly, but the most important distribution channels and theaters are all controlled, the stronger your ability, the more Golden Harvest earns, and the stronger your dependence on Golden Harvest, and finally becomes Golden Harvest's money-making tool.

Historically, Golden Harvest has Chen Long, Xu Guanwen, Hong Jinbao, and Yuan Fat, but they all left Golden Harvest in the end, although Golden Harvest's treatment of stars far exceeds that of Shaw Brothers, but people's hearts are not satisfied, and they always have to get more.

Of course, Xu Zhi will not be reconciled, but it is not the time to offend Jiahe in front of him, so he thought about it and said: "I understand, I also hope to cooperate with Jiahe for a long time, but this is related to the fate of Changxing Company, and the details of the contract we signed have to be discussed slowly." ”

He Guanchang also nodded, this kind of thing cannot be negotiated in a few words, even if the other party agrees, but the details of the follow-up business contract still have to be negotiated for a long time, and the road is taken step by step.

Xu Zhi asked: "When will Drunken Boxing be released overseas." ”

"We've already contacted the people at Cathay Cinemas, and they'll be flying overnight to bring the negatives back, and RB is the same, but it may take a few days to translate the film into Japanese," Ho said. ”

Xu Zhidao: "Don't Cathay Pacific need to advertise?"

He Guanchang said with a smile: "Nanyang is different from our Xiangjiang, there are almost only Cathay theaters in the Chinese area, so the Chinese on his side have no choice, and if they want to watch Chinese movies, they can only go to this one." ”

Xu Zhidao: "Amazing, but do they all speak Cantonese over there?"

He Guanchang said: "Some people say, but the Cantonese version will be released directly, and some people can wait a few days if they really don't understand, and the Chinese version will also appear in a few days." In fact, over the years, people over there have long been accustomed to Cantonese, and maybe many people like the original Cantonese even if they can't understand it. ”

"Yes, I also like to listen to Hollywood movies in English. Xu Zhi said with a smile that there were very few Hollywood movies in Xiangjiang in this era, but the blockbusters of later generations could make Xu Zhi remember deeply, and many people insisted on watching the original sound even if they couldn't understand English.

The two chatted casually, and Xu Zhi was ready to leave.

"Ah Zhi!" As soon as he walked out of the door of Jiahe, Xu Zhi heard someone calling him from behind, and then the low voice of the car slowly came.

Xu Zhi turned his head and saw Chen Long driving an open-top Ferrari and stopped beside Xu Zhi.

"Come up and sit down. Long Chen shouted.

Xu Zhi smiled: "Okay." ”

This is the first time that Xu Zhi and the two have sat in this kind of supercar, and Chen Long smiled: "Fasten the seat belt, I'm going to drive!!"

This car should be newly bought, Chen Long is very unaccustomed to driving this kind of supercar, he can't feel it, but Xu Zhike was shocked into a cold sweat, and taught him a few times on the way, Chen Long slowly parked the car.

Xu Zhi immediately jumped out of the car and said, "In the next year, I won't take your car again." ”

Chen Long touched his head awkwardly and said, "Don't worry, I will practice my driving skills well, Ah Zhi, you should be able to drive depending on your appearance, why don't you try it." ”

Xu Zhitou immediately shook his head and said, "I can't, I just know how to speak." ”

In fact, Xu Zhi in his previous life was also an old driver, although he had never driven a Ferrari, but it was okay to start slowly in a place where there were few cars. But the biggest problem is in Xiangjiang, where the steering wheel and many rules are reversed, not to mention driving, even when he usually walks, he will unconsciously walk on the right.

In fact, driving is not a reflection in many cases, but an instinctive reaction, driving in a place where the road rules are completely opposite, once something happens, it is very easy to cause accidents.

Chen Long didn't force it, and said, "What did you just do when you went to Jiahe?"

Xu Zhi replied: "Drunken Fist is going to be released in Nanyang and RB, so I sent the negatives over. ”

Long Chen: "Oh!"

Xu Zhi smiled: "Is there something wrong?"

Chen Long took out a check from his pocket and handed it to Xu Zhidao: "Here is 2 million Hong Kong dollars in cash, I want to annul the agreement between us." ”

Xu Zhi looked at the check, didn't take it, and asked, "How much money did Jiahe pay to dig you?"

Chen Long hesitated, but still replied: "4.3 million." ”

Xu Zhi thought about it for a while, he remembered that it should be 4.7 million in the future, but now it is 400,000 less, it seems that his butterfly effect is everywhere!

Xu Zhi asked, "Does Luo Wei know?"

Chen Long shook his head and said: "Not yet, in fact, Jiahe gave me 1.5 million at the beginning, but I refused, and then the Shaw Brothers also came to me, and after coming and going, it became like this!"

Xu Zhidao: "Don't you dare to tell him, for fear of being sorry for him?"

Chen Long shook his head and said: "No, I gave him the 250,000 you gave me last time, and then you refused to terminate the contract, and he didn't mention anything, treating this matter as if it didn't exist, after Drunken Boxing became famous, he told me that he wanted to make a new movie, and then gave me 3000, saying that it was my salary, and the signing fee given to me by Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers at that time had exceeded 3 million, and I didn't expect Luo Wei to do this to me." ”

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Luo Wei is too idealistic, he can only talk about big truths, but he refuses to refer to reality, although you are cultivated by him, you also have a contract of 3,000 salaries for a movie, but he ignores that you are already a superstar, this kind of salary is impossible and illogical." ”

Chen Long nodded and said, "Yes, but after all, he has cultivated me, and I don't want to do too much, how to tell him, I haven't thought about it yet." ”

Xu Zhi smiled: "You just won't refuse, I'll teach you once, you can take this check back first!" ”

Long Chen anxiously asked, "Why?"

Xu Zhidao: "Before the release of Drunken Fist, the amount of default was 2 million, but now it is not, the box office of Drunken Fist is 7 million, and the 5 times default is 35 million." ”

"35 million!" Chen Long looked surprised.

Xu Zhi shook his head and said, "Did you understand the meaning of my contract when you signed the contract, I remember that I also specially explained it to you." ”

Chen Long's face turned pale, and he said: "I didn't think about it that much at the time, Ah Zhi, 35 million is unrealistic, you better say a figure that everyone can accept." ”

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Don't worry, I'm talking about cooperation with Jiahe now, if the negotiation is successful, then you come forward and say that you are willing to make a movie with me, I think Jiahe will not refuse, how to operate in the future, but also according to the future situation, everyone is happy to cooperate, rest assured, I will not threaten you with this, if you are unwilling, I am afraid that our cooperation will not be able to cooperate." ”

Chen Long nodded reluctantly: "Okay, then let's do this first!"

Xu Zhidao: "Don't tell Jiahe about this matter first, otherwise it will affect my negotiations with them, if we work together, there will naturally be a chance to cover this contract." ”

Chen Long nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go first." ”

After saying that, the motor started, and with a buzz, it floated away.

"you don't know how to give me a ride. Xu Zhi, who had taken a big mouthful of exhaust gas, scolded secretly.
