How is Warner going to work with us?"

Huo Yaowen saw that Zou Wenhuai and Bruce Lee seemed to be determined to enter Hollywood, and it was not easy to persuade him more, after all, he was only one of the shareholders of the company, and he couldn't do the overall situation.

Zou Wenhuai saw Huo Yaowen's promise, and hurriedly said: "Everyone jointly invests and waits for the film to be filmed, Warner is responsible for distribution in the United States and Europe, and we Golden Harvest are responsible for distribution in Hong Kong and Asia." ”

Since Golden Harvest Film Company has relied on Bruce Lee's blockbuster movies, it has already extended its tentacles to Southeast Asia and Dongying, which also respects Golden Harvest's huge film distribution channels in the future.

Bruce Lee next to him followed and said: "Warner also promised us that although they will send a director over for this movie, we will still be responsible for the fight scenes." ”

"The conditions are very good, since Mr. Zou and Brother Xiaolong have already discussed, then ask me to come over this time?" Huo Yaowen understood that Zou Wenhuai and Bruce Lee had made up their minds to make a movie with Warner.

Zou Wenhuai lifted the frame that slid down the tip of his nose and said: "To be honest, although the new movie is still being drafted, the funds needed to cooperate with Warner are a bit too much." The company has indeed made some money in the past few years, but it is still a little difficult to come up with 500,000 US dollars at a time, so I am thinking about whether I can cooperate with Mr. Huo, your Huanyu Film Company. ”

According to the current exchange of 1 US dollar to Hong Kong dollars, it is about 5.1 yuan, and 500,000 US dollars is more than 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars. Originally, he wanted to let Huo Yaowen, a shareholder, have a little more in the name of Golden Harvest Company, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that Huo Yaowen would mention the matter of Golden Harvest shares again, and finally compromised a way, that is, to let Huo Yaowen's wholly-owned Huanyu Film Company join in.

"So much?"

Golden Harvest paid 500,000 US dollars, so Warner naturally had to pay 500,000 US dollars, equivalent to 5 million Hong Kong dollars in production costs, which can be said to be unique in Hong Kong, you must know that "Raptors Across the River", which broke the Hong Kong box office record again last year, is only 5.3 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Yes, this is only the initial project fund, and the specific will not be estimated until the time when the filming starts. Zou Wenhuai also sighed, he invested so much money before he filmed, but I am afraid that he will not even be able to recover the capital by relying on Hong Kong.

Huo Yaowen took a sip of tea and asked, "How much do you need me to come up with?"

Zou Wenhuai hurriedly said: "150,000 US dollars, only 150,000 US dollars is needed." ”

If according to the original history, Bruce Lee is still fighting for the dragon, then the investment of 150,000 US dollars can make some money back, Huo Yaowen thought about it and nodded and said: "Although 150,000 US dollars is not much, I want to arrange a producer to join the group." ”

$150,000 is actually a piece of cake for him, even if he takes $500,000, it's not a problem, but in business, $150,000 is in Hong Kong at this time, the purchasing power is very strong, so naturally he wants his own people to join the group to see where the money is used.

"This is natural, Mr. Huo can arrange it at will. ”

As soon as he heard that Huo Yaowen was willing to contribute, Zou Wenhuai suddenly smiled, and immediately got up and said, "I'll call someone to draft the contract now." ”

Seeing that Zou Wenhuai was so anxious, Huo Yaowen didn't shirk until tomorrow, borrowed Golden Harvest's phone, called Luo Cheng, and asked him to arrange a lawyer to come to Golden Harvest Film Company now.

About half an hour passed, the lawyer arranged by Luo Cheng hurried over, and after he finished reading the contract drafted by Jiahe, he looked sideways at Huo Yaowen and said, "Mr. Huo, this contract is no problem." ”

"Hmm. ”

Huo Yaowen didn't say a word, he directly signed his name on the contract, and then took out a stack of empty checks from the inner pocket of his suit, wrote the amount and handed it directly to Zou Wenhuai.

"Mr. Huo is a happy collaborator. Zou Wenhuai happily accepted the check.

"It was a pleasure to work with. Huo Yaowen smiled.

After a few more chats, seeing that it was not early, Huo Yaowen also got up to say goodbye, and just after leaving the door of Golden Harvest, he saw Bruce Lee running down.

"Awen, I'm sorry I didn't tell you in advance. Bruce Lee was very eager to enter Hollywood in the United States, so when Golden Harvest was short of funds, the first person who came to mind was Huo Yaowen, so he asked him to come to Golden Harvest.

Huo Yaowen shook his head and smiled: "It's okay Brother Xiaolong, didn't you keep telling me before that sooner or later you have to let those Yankees wait and see? This is a good opportunity, Warner's ability in the United States is not small, and their distribution channels are also very wide. ”

"Hmm!" Bruce Lee nodded seriously, he clenched his fists and said firmly: "Don't worry, I will do my best to make this movie, and it will definitely succeed!"

"Haha, I'm sure you'll make your dreams come true. Huo Yaowen patted Bruce Lee's shoulder and smiled.

No one knows better than Huo Yaowen how much uproar this movie, which has not even been named yet, will cause an uproar in the future, not only making Bruce Lee, who was only famous in Asia at this time, famous in Western countries and having countless ghost dragon fans, but also recorded in the history of world cinema in the future, influencing many generations of directors and actors.

……

In just a few days, Zou Wenhuai got the rest of the funds from Huo Yaowen and handed over the company's work to He Guanchang to be in charge, so he went to the United States with Bruce Lee and his people, ready to discuss the next cooperation with Warner and the script.

At this time, Yao Wenjie also called, saying that Radio Television Hong Kong had agreed to co-produce the TV series "Under the Lion Rock" with Huanyu Film Company, but TVB also got involved and wanted to join in together.

Huo Yaowen was a little curious about TVB's cooperation, but he heard Yao Wenjie say that RTHK was interested in putting the filmed TV series on TVB for broadcast, so he nodded and agreed, anyway, the copyright is in his own hands, and it doesn't matter if the other profits are less.

Speaking of which, I have to mention that RTHK can be said to be half of a government radio station, with its own TV department and educational TV station, but there is no independent TV channel, and the film needs to be handed over to TVB or Li's TV station for broadcast.

Although Huo Yaowen agreed to cooperate with the three companies to film "Under the Lion Rock", he was still very puzzled, after all, he dug Chu Yuan from Shaw Brothers to Huanyu last year, and Uncle Shao was so angry that he smashed his beloved teapot on the spot, and I heard that he was still scolding himself for being unruly in the office, why did he think of cooperating with him at this time.

Originally, this doubt had been pressed in Huo Yaowen's heart, but after five or six days, at the end of April, he received an invitation letter from TVB, which was written by Uncle Shao Liu, inviting Huo Yaowen to participate in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant newly planned by the TV station on May 7, he suddenly realized that the previous cooperation was for this matter!
