20 Preparation

"Xu Sheng is really capable, he was able to borrow such a large sum of money from Zou Sheng. Luo Wei was surprised when he heard it, in the past two years, the movies he has invested in have been losing money and making money, and there are often financial crises, and he has tried to turn around through Zou Wenhuai several times, but none of them have succeeded. Unexpectedly, Zou Wenhuai was willing to lend money to a young man in front of him.

Xu Zhidao: "It's not a big deal, it's just a transaction." ”

Seeing that Xu Zhi refused to say more, Luo Wei asked, "I don't know if what Xu Sheng said last time counts?"

Of course, Xu Zhi understood what it was, nodded and said: "Yes, you helped me let me meet Zou Wenhuai, according to our agreement, the film copyright of Iron Blood Tianjiao can be given to you, but it is only 3 years, if you don't shoot within 3 years, or if you finish filming within 3 years, the authorization will end." ”

Luo Wei frowned when he heard this: "Will 3 years be shorter?"

Xu Zhi smiled: "A movie is not enough to make in 3 years?"

Luo Wei said: "Of course, you can make a movie in 3 years, but many times due to various reasons, the filming is delayed, and I have to think about it more." ”

Xu Zhi smiled, he didn't pierce him, in fact, it was just one word: no money.

Taking a sip of coffee, Xu Zhi said, "What about borrowing Chen Long?"

Luo Wei said: "Ah Long is our trump card, Xu Sheng, 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, how about it?"

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Does Luo Sheng treat me as a fool? Although Chen Long has acted in many movies, but they are all supporting roles, and the last few leading role movies have hit the streets, I am willing to let him play the leading role is also an opportunity for him, Luo Sheng should cherish it, if the movie is really a big hit, it will be more beneficial to you! This way, 10,000, this is the highest price, the subsidy should not be less, if you are too little, then I will change the protagonist." I heard that there is a person named Yuan Biao, who is also a seedling. ”

Luo Wei said unwillingly: "10,000 is a bit too little! The audience in this Xiangjiang basically knows Ah Long's face." ”

"At this price, if you don't agree, forget it" Xu Zhi shook his head and said, refusing to give in at all. In fact, Chen Long has been called box office poison by the media this year, and the current situation is that it is free and many directors dare not accept it, he is willing to pay this money for time, and he really has no income, and Chen Long may not be willing to use all his strength when filming.

After being silent for a while, Luo Wei said: "Yes, but you must not have too dangerous actions in this movie." ”

"Okay, it's just normal martial arts. Xu Zhi recalled, although there are many fighting links in drunken boxing, but there seems to be nothing too dangerous to operate, these years, the most afraid is to fight at a high place, the general flat ground is a serious point of fighting, and a bone will be broken, but falling from a high place is a big deal, and there is no way to do a good job of safety measures in the scene of the fight.

Luo Wei said: "Okay, I will go back to draw up a contract, and when the agreement between you and Jiahe is confirmed, I will sign it for you." ”

Xu Zhi stood up, shook hands and said, "Okay, then I wish us a happy cooperation." ”

..................

The cooperation agreement was reached, and Luo Wei was also very happy, and after paying for the coffee, he also gave a little tip. then sent Xu Zhi downstairs at home.

The car stopped, Luo Wei looked around and said, "Xu Sheng is really an enterprising person, if it were me, the first thing I would do when I got the money was to change my place of residence first." ”

Xu Zhidao: "This is also a good choice, housing prices have begun to rise in the past two years, a few days ago Taikoo City opened, it is said that a number has been sold for tens of thousands of yuan." If Luo Sheng has a little spare money, he can also start a set. ”

Luo Wei smiled: "It's okay to have a house to live in, and it's not interesting to buy too much." ”

At this moment, there are shipping tycoons represented by Bao Yugang, trade tycoons, film and television tycoons, textile electronics and other large-scale factories, and business is full of flowers, and not everyone is keen on speculating in real estate.

Xu Zhidao: "Okay, thank you Luo Sheng for your send-off." ”

Although it is not yet the scorching heat of August, the temperature in the Xiangjiang River in June is not low, and coupled with the hot and humid air formed by the proximity to the ocean, Xu Zhi, who has just climbed the stairs to his home, is already sweating profusely.

Xu Yaxin, who was still doing her homework in the house, heard the sound of the door opening, turned around and saw Xu Zhi sweating profusely, and asked, "Brother, have you eaten?"

Xu Zhi turned on the air conditioner while lifting the collar and blowing the wind, and said, "I've already eaten, I just ate some downstairs." ”

My parents are not at home, because no one cooks, my sister usually eats in the school cafeteria before she comes back.

"Oh. Xu Yaxin responded and said, "I just received a call from Ming Pao, and they want to invite you to their newspaper office!"

Xu Zhi had just taken a change of clothes and a basin, and was just about to go in to take a bath, when he stopped and said after listening to his sister's words, "Did you say anything?"

Xu Yaxin shook her head: "He didn't say it, he just said to let you go?"

Xu Zhi frowned, didn't say anything, walked into the kitchen, then went into the bathroom, and closed the curtains...........

Ten minutes later

Xu Zhiqing walked out refreshingly, this day was not too hot, the air conditioner cooled the whole room in a few minutes, and after throwing the dirty clothes into the washing machine, he sat in front of the small sofa.

Xu Yaxin saw Xu Zhi coming over and asked, "Brother, aren't you going to Mingpao?"

Xu Zhidao: "Why do you want to go? I will go when they tell me to go, isn't that shameless?"

Xu Yaxin said disdainfully: "That's Ming Pao, maybe it's Kim Yong Yong who wants to see you?"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said, "It's not rare, it's not uncommon for Mai Lihao to want to see me." ”

Xu Yaxin said: "If Kim Yong Yong is to give you a few good comments after meeting you, then your fame will be great!"

Xu Zhidao: "I write novels to make money, what use can fame have? ”

Xu Yaxin smiled: "You are so vulgar, I don't know how you can write a novel, since you want to make money, how much is it satisfying?"

Xu Zhi thought for a while and said, "Let's set a small goal first, let's say earn him 100 million first." ”

Xu Yaxin rolled her eyes and said, "You're crazy, there's no help!"

"Haha ^_^. Xu Zhi laughed.

Golden Harvest Headquarters

After Xu Zhi left, Zou Wenhuai thought for a long time. In fact, with his identity and status, it is not difficult to open a newspaper, and many wealthy people in Xiangjiang can invest millions of dollars, and a newspaper can be formed.

But it's one thing for a newspaper to be built, and if you want to do well, you definitely can't succeed with money. Xiangjiang's famous Ta Kung Pao, Industrial and Commercial Daily, and Sing Tao Daily have been operating for more than ten or even decades before they developed, especially Ming Pao and Oriental Daily, Ming Pao everyone knows that it grew up by relying on several novels by Kim Yong Kim, and Oriental Daily is even more special, before the 70s, the main service objects of the major newspapers in Xiangjiang are all kinds of office buildings and middle-income groups in Xiangjiang, while the Oriental Daily has gone off the rails, serving the poor with lower status, and the content of the newspaper is exaggerated, with the purpose of sensationalism, after nearly ten years of development, it has also become one of the largest newspapers。

Unless there is a new plan, the latecomers can only follow in the footsteps of their predecessors. Oriental Daily's tricks are not very popular with many businessmen with status, and a mountain is not allowed to say anything, the other party has already occupied this road, and it will be difficult for you to overtake again.

Regarding the establishment of a newspaper, Zou Wenhuai had never thought about it before, but the conditions sent to him at this moment made him quite excited, his position in the film industry has been solid, if he can control a newspaper with excellent sales, not only the economic return is considerable, but the influence is not the same. After all, although movies can spread awareness, they can't directly criticize a policy or expose an incident like TV and newspapers.

He Guanchang took a document sorted out by the lawyer, walked up to Zou Wenhuai and sat down, and said, "Are you really going to open this newspaper?"

Zou Wenhuai nodded and said: "I have no reason to disagree, although there are only 7% of the shares, as long as the sales volume is OK, just the income from the newspaper can be repaid in a year." What's more, if you really want to get rid of this kid, there are many ways, but he is also a talent, and he doesn't have to do it at first. ”

He Guanchang said with a smile: "I have read the novel that kid brought, it is really good, if this quality can be maintained in the future, the sales volume can still be guaranteed, plus the advertising revenue, it will be almost a year to pay back." It's just that this kid is cheaper, and a novel is exchanged for such a high income. ”

Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "Actually, I prefer him to join our Jiahe, this kid has a high level of knowledge, and his thoughts are strange, and he can write wonderful stories, as long as we cultivate for a few more years, maybe we can become the second Xu Guanwen." ”

Hearing Xu Guanwen, He Guanchang frowned and said: "Now Xu Guanwen, Hong Jinbao and others come to me every day to ask me for money, and they are annoyed!"

When Zou Wenhuai heard this, he also sighed: "Let's push it again, the cooperation between the company and Hollywood requires a lot of money, and these funds cannot be given to them for the time being." ”

He Guanchang nodded and said: "That's the only way, by the way, Xu Zhi is also going to make a movie, do you know what the content is?"

Zou Wenhuai shook his head and said: "I asked once, but he didn't say, and I don't want to ask again, but looking at his appearance, it seems that this movie is more important than the newspaper, and I don't understand what this kid is thinking?"

He Guanchang said with a smile: "This newspaper has 3 percent of the shares, and I estimate that the annual dividend is hundreds of thousands, which is more profitable than writing novels. ”

Zou Wenhuai looked at the dark sky and said, "Regardless of him, let him suffer a little setback, young people will never be strong without experiencing failure." But we don't want to be a villain, the theater can be arranged for him at that time, and if the effect is good, the theater will be added, and if it doesn't work, it will be taken off the shelves, no matter what the results are, then you can go to invite him to join on behalf of Golden Harvest. ”

He Guanchang nodded and smiled: "Okay, if you say that, I'm still worried that his movie is too good, and we will have to pay a greater price." ”

Zou Wenhuai said: "If his movie is good, then we have to keep him." ”

He Guanchang nodded and said: "Since this kid dares to borrow money to make a movie, his ambition must be not small, I am afraid that after he really succeeds, he will want to fly alone!"

Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "Who doesn't want to be the boss of the capable person, how can the boss be a boss without some ambition, in fact, I hope that the people under my command have this ambition, since we can leave the Shaw Brothers back then, they will also be able to leave my Jiahe." ”

He Guanchang said: "Are you really so generous?"

Zou Wenhuai shook his head and said: "Of course it can't be, people in the world are like this, there is a good story, a group of people are ready to swim across a dangerous river, go to the other side to enjoy fatty food, but food is always limited, the first thought of everyone who sets foot on the beach is to want the people behind to drown."

I am also an ordinary person, and naturally it is the same, but now it is not as good as in the past, we Golden Harvest spent so much money to control almost forty percent of the cinema chain in Xiangjiang, and the cinema chain of Shaw Brothers does not accept other movies at all, no matter how ambitious this group of people is, even if they are independent, they will only continue to serve Golden Harvest. There is no possibility of getting out of control completely. ”

He Guanchang sighed and said, "It's a pity that Li Xiaolong left early, otherwise we wouldn't have to worry about the Shaw Brothers today." ”

Zou Wenhuai was silent for a while and said: "Don't think about the previous things, find a lawyer to prepare all kinds of materials in the next few days, and then if you have time, go to this Xu Zhi in person, and get to know each other first."

And Xu Zhi suggested that we directly buy a complete newspaper, I think it's okay, before you leave in the morning, arrange someone to check the information of this newspaper and the boss, and see if you can buy it. ”

He Guanchang said: "Okay, no problem, then I'll go first!"

PS: Yesterday's collection was only 40, and today it should be less, I can't figure out why I left the newcomer list but didn't get on the signing list, I started to think this was the list of old authors, but then I found out that there are also newcomers' works on the list, I don't understand, now this book is in addition to a few book lists, there is no channel to be found at all, is there a great god to explain!

This chapter is almost 4000 words, and that's it for today
