437 [blockbuster?]
Chairman Leigh, the ratings of the TV station have dropped in the evening recently, and the advertisers have asked us to reduce the advertising fee. The deputy manager of TVB took the plunge and reported the matter to Li Xiaohe.
"Well, I see, you can do it. ”
Li Xiaohe rubbed his temples, although he had a headache about the decline in ratings, he also made corresponding preparations and arranged for someone to hurry up and shoot a new TV series. But TV series can't be filmed in two or three days, so now we can only reduce some advertising costs appropriately according to the requirements of those advertisers.
"Yes, I'll take care of this as soon as possible. The deputy manager nodded, and said another thing: "Recently, Phoenix TV has been poaching our people, and many actors and crew members have been poached. ”
As soon as he heard that Phoenix Terrace was poaching people again, Li Xiaohe frowned, this was the third time he had heard it!
In fact, his employees and actors were poached, Li Xiaohe didn't care very much, although he was the chairman of the board of directors of the TV station, but in previous years, most of the production departments and artist departments were under the management of Shao Liushu, and he was only responsible for the internal operation of the TV station, so in his opinion, people were poached and re-recruited.
This kind of psychology is actually normal in this era, no matter how popular actors and singers are all over Hong Kong, in the eyes of TV stations and companies, they are just ordinary employees after all.
Even if it was the wireless five tigers pushed out by the later generation of wireless TV, the red was almost purple, but it was still defeated by the boss's words, and it was blocked.
But despite this idea, if everyone is poached, then the TV station will still be a fart, so Li Xiaohe pondered for a long time and said: "Go and check what price Phoenix TV gives, and appropriately increase the salary of the people below." ”
"Yes. ”
After the deputy manager left, Li Xiaohe rubbed his temples again, he was really disturbed by these messy things, there was Uncle Shao Liu before, he only needed to manage the top management of the TV station with grace and power, how to shoot a series below, and the actor scheduling was almost all handed over to the general manager Shao Liushu.
But not long ago, Li Xiaohe had a conflict with Uncle Shao Liu, and they broke up unhappily, and the other party didn't care, plus Phoenix TV first held a Spring Festival Gala to crush it, and then filmed "Shooting the Condor", which made the ratings plummet after 6 o'clock in the evening and the advertising revenue decreased, which gave him a headache.
……
Golden Harvest Film Company.
Zou Wenhuai smiled and introduced: "Mr. Huo, this is Xu Guanwen, this is his younger brother Xu Guanjie. ”
"Hello Mr. Huo, I'm Xu Guanwen, I'm your loyal book lover! There is also the recent Hong Kong blockbuster science fiction movie "1999", I have watched it several times, and I really can't believe that the movie can be made like this!" Xu Guanwen on the side hurriedly stretched out his hand and smiled. Don't look at the fact that he often plays some funny protagonists in movies, but this kind of person is generally extremely sleek in real life.
"Mr. Xu, I have also watched your comedy movie "Ghost Horse Double Star", and it was very good, I like this movie very much. Huo Yaowen didn't smile politely and shook hands with him, anyway, I don't know when, as long as he meets someone, the other party will always say that he is a fan of books, and I don't know if it's true.
"Hello Mr. Huo. Compared with his brother Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanjie seems a little restrained, at this time he has only transformed from a singer to an actor, and when he first saw a big man of Huo Yaowen's level, he was inevitably a little nervous.
The first generation of Hong Kong's recognized singers!
Huo Yaowen was still very familiar with him, and seeing that he was a little restrained, he smiled and said, "Your song is very good." ”
"Mr. Huo has won the award. Xu Guanjie was praised and a little shy.
After introducing each other, Zou Wenhuai beckoned the three of them to sit down as the host, and he personally made a pot of kung fu tea, first serving it to Huo Yaowen, and then to Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanjie brothers at the back end.
Several people chatted while drinking tea, and after a while, Zou Wenhuai said: "Mr. Huo, I know that you have cooperated with Toho Co., Ltd. in Japan on the release of "1999", and I invite you to come over this time, mainly to ask you to help sell the film of "Ghost Horse Double Star" to Japan. ”
It's not that Golden Harvest doesn't have the ability to sell "Ghost Horse Double Star" to Japan, but compared to Huo Yaowen's channels, their cooperation with Japanese film companies is a bit superficial.
"Sold to Japan?" Huo Yaowen raised his eyes to look at Zou Wenhuai, and then glanced at the Xu brothers.
Zou Wenhuai said: "Yes, "Ghost Horse Double Star" has such a high box office in Hong Kong, I think if it is sold in Japan, the box office should be very good." ”
"That's fine, I'll have people contact Toho Co., Ltd. in Japan later, and I think they'll be very interested in this big hit movie in Hong Kong. Huo Yaowen smiled and nodded and agreed, selling the film to Japan is also to make money for himself, how can he not agree?
That's right, in addition to the Xu Pictures founded by Xu Guanwen's brothers, the largest investor of "Ghost Horse Double Star" is Golden Harvest Film Company, and Huo Yaowen, as the second largest shareholder, can naturally get a lot of box office shares.
It's just that before today, even in his previous life, he didn't know that "Ghost Horse Double Star" actually had Golden Harvest's investment.
"Then thank you, Mr. Huo. Xu Guanwen got up excitedly and thanked him.
"Ghost Horse Double Star" is a comedy film written, directed and acted by Xu Guanwen, for which he did not hesitate to leave TVB, created his own Xu Pictures, and invested all his savings for so many years.
Although the money he made in Hong Kong is enough for him to recover his costs and make a lot of money, how can Xu Guanwen not be happy to be able to sell the film to Japan, make more money, and gain greater popularity!
Huo Yaowen smiled: "Mr. Xu is polite, this movie Golden Harvest also has investment, and if I sell it to Japan, I can also make a profit, right?"
Seeing that the matter was settled, Zou Wenhuai hesitated for a few seconds and continued: "Mr. Huo, recently Golden Harvest is preparing to invest in filming a blockbuster, and the actor has already decided that he will be Ajie, and he may have to go to the United States to shoot. ”
"What kind of film?" Huo Yaowen frowned, he didn't remember that Golden Harvest had launched a blockbuster film to be made in the United States before his big brother became a big brother, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.
Zou Wenhuai said: "It's about a Hong Kong private detective who was commissioned by a billionaire to fly to San Francisco in the United States to find out the whereabouts of his daughter. ”
Huo Yaowen: "......"
This is the blockbuster?
"There may also be some pictures of speeding car chases, and our initial estimate is that the investment is about 3 million Hong Kong dollars. Zou Wenhuai didn't notice the change in Huo Yaowen's demeanor, and continued: "Because the investment is too large, according to the previous agreement, you need Mr. Huo's consent. ”
Although when he first won a lot of shares of Golden Harvest, Huo Yaowen said that he would not interfere in the operation of the film company and all the filming plans, but he also stated in the contract that if the investment was too high, he must be consulted as a shareholder.
That's why Zou Wenhuai came to tell Huo Yaowen about this!
3 million Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 600,000 US dollars, is a small amount of money in Huo Yaowen's eyes, but in Zou Wenhuai's eyes, this is a huge amount of money, you must know that now Hong Kong except for a few films with a box office of more than 3 million, most of them are only hovering between 100 and 2 million.
The investment in one movie is worth the box office of several releases, which is naturally a big investment.
