In the game adaptation rights business of martial arts, the negotiation went smoothly, and it only took half a day to finalize the price details and implementation terms.

After all, these things are all things that Mr. Cha can make by himself, and they belong to a business.

In other industries where costs have to be calculated, it is absolutely impossible for the bosses of both sides to sit down and have a cup of tea and get everything done.

When parting, Mr. Zha seemed to be worried about "adapting and scandalizing the original work" by the game just now, and repeatedly knocked on the side, asking Gu Biao if he was interested in film and television adaptation.

"Gu Sheng, I have heard a lot about your deeds in the United States. "The Terminator" has a global box office of more than 100 million US dollars, although "First Blood" was not filmed by you, but it was also released by the company you invested, and now it has exceeded 50 million, and the final global box office of 100 million is very easy.

With all due respect, with your two gold-lettered signboard appeals of one production and one release, as long as you want, you can definitely pull up a capable team of Winnie in Xiangjiang. Boss Lei of Kowloon Construction, with a capital of 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, does not understand anything, but he can still kill the third force in addition to Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, and make the Golden Princess and Xinyi City.

In terms of financial strength alone, you are more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, at least far above the boss of Jiulong Lei, and you have more vision, resources, and Hollywood signboard than him. It is better to consider expanding the scope of business and getting a production company to shoot it yourself. I heard that you have also built a cinema in the mainland, and you are so willing to invest money in hardware, it is impossible not to be aspiring to this. ”

Mr. Cha's vision of the film and television industry is still relatively accurate, and he thinks that if Gu Biao is willing to work, he will overturn the third in the industry, Golden Princess/New Art City, in the first year, there is no problem. Then you can divide the world with Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.

As for the follow-up development, it is necessary to take it slowly, look at the accumulation of talents, poaching and training, and it is not just pure money that can be instantly awesome.

Because the Golden Princess/New Art City has just entered the industry for two or three years, there are only some local cinema lines, and there are no other resources, only money. Gu Biao also only has money, no one has no resources, so it is impossible to kill the Shaw Brothers in the first year, at most, he will kill the new art city first.

In 1983, the Golden Princess/New Art City, the posture was still very low, in order to attract potential directors and actors, they didn't dare to sign the buyout contract of Shaw Brothers, they were all one film and one contract, so after many people tested the waters, they had to spend a high price to get around, and they could change jobs if they couldn't get it.

For example, directors such as Xu Ke and Wu Yusen are now signing a test contract with Xinyicheng. It belongs to the kind of people who want to pull up the flag this year, and the other party will immediately come over and defect.

Of course, more celebrities who have been famous for a long time and are bound by contracts will not be able to come for the time being.

Gu Biao also understands these truths, but he has his own plans: "Thank you Mr. Zha for your kindness, but I'm too busy this year, I have to eat one bite at a time, and I will have a chance to talk about it in the future." ”

Before the middle of this year, it was a critical period for home game consoles to occupy the market, and Gu Biao couldn't spare his energy.

On the other hand, Mr. Cha thought that he had a lot of cash flow and could smash like the boss of Kowloon Construction Land. But in fact, now Gu Biao can't even get $30 million in liquidity.

Most of his head is set in the Vancouver property market, and he does big things with Huo Ye. Therefore, at least in the second half of the year, those Xiangjiang people who have to flee Canada take over, and Gu Biao has the money to talk about something else.

In addition, the handheld business currently has a monthly turnover of more than $20 million and a profit of several million dollars. But Gu Biao has just collected Atari's corpse and absorbed part of the human resources in Atari's 1,700 layoffs, as well as other high-quality assets that Atari sold cheaply, so it also took up a lot of funds.

In addition to the money factor, Gu Xiao also wants to take advantage of this wave to sweep the sand, observe the character of people from all walks of life in Xiangjiang, and see which ones regard themselves as Chinese and which ones are already yellow-skinned and white-hearted.

He didn't want to win over people now, and finally there was a bunch of yellow skins and white hearts in the company.

In the following half a year, the history will play a good role as a natural HR, natural selection.

The yellow-skinned and white-hearted people are waiting to be slaughtered in the real estate market, and then the use value will be squeezed out and thrown aside.

In the film and television industry, who is not red, and it is not an industry with objective hard technical indicators, of course, red values are of the same heart as themselves.

Mr. Cha's repeated persuasion was ineffective, and he vaguely realized that "Gu Biao didn't want to enter the industry to disrupt the situation, but this expectation was not big in the past year." So, his heart moved, he thought about it, and persuaded from a different angle:

"Since Gu Sheng just has no idea within a year, it's better to do this, I recommend the film and television adaptation rights of a few martial arts, and I can only shoot that kind once, package and sell it to Gu Sheng at a cheap price, and you have the exclusive right to use it for two years, how about it?"

Gu Biao was very incomprehensible: "Why is this?"

Mr. Zha also said bluntly: "I won't hide it from you, in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, now there are movies and Golden Harvest can compete with Shaw Brothers, but Golden Harvest rarely gets involved in TV series, and rarely touches my martial arts." Under the dominance of the Shaw family, the change of disrespecting the original work intensified. I'm just annoyed by the messy changes of "Tianlong", and I hope someone will beat it to check and balance.

So I also told you clearly, Tianlong, Flying Fox, Shujian, Lu Ding Ji, and Xia Kexing, I won't authorize you, because the Shaw Brothers have just been filmed within two or three years, and I don't think they will remake themselves in the short term to grab their own business.

Shooting the Condor, the Condor, Yitian, Xiaoao, and the Blue Blood Sword, I estimate that the Shaw Brothers are very likely to plan to shoot this year and next year, and I will sell it to you for two years in advance, and when the Shaw Brothers people want to shoot, let them find you to co-shoot, I don't offend anyone. As long as you respond, I will sell it absolutely cheaply at the price, 5 films are sold once every two years, as long as you are 100,000 yuan, you don't shoot it yourself, you can change hands once, but the premise of changing hands is that you must master the screenwriter, and there can be no adaptation of the original work that scandalizes it. ”

In this way, Gu Biao understood.

In the final analysis, it was the Shaw Brothers' Heavenly Dragon Demon Reform last year that angered Mr. Cha. Mr. Zha himself was on the three-acre land of Xiangjiang, and he looked down and didn't look up, so it was not good to offend the Shaw family by beating him too much. Let Gu Biao pull hatred, and use Gu Biao's power to restrain the other party's excessive magic reform.

When the time comes, Mr. Shaw will come to the door, and Mr. Zha will not have to refuse to sell the adaptation rights in person, as long as he gives a soft nail: "I really want to sell, but I talked to Gu Biao, he bought it first, and agreed that only he can shoot it within two years, if you want to buy it, go to him to make it, or you will wait for two years."

It's no wonder that the average adaptation rights of a film are sold for 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the rest is face money that offends people.

This little pocket money, of course, Gu Biao has nothing to consider.

He immediately agreed: "Since it's so cheap, then I'll buy it." However, I have said in advance, after I buy these adaptation rights, it is possible to get them to my newly built cinema in the mainland for filming. At that time, Shaw Brothers may not come up with popular stars to star. Those celebrities who are popular are still counting on the market over there, afraid that they have been to the mainland to make films and be banned by Wanwan for three years.

Zhou Runfa, who cooperated with me in "Hujiang Beach" back then, has avoided me in recent years after becoming popular, and he wants to stay up until the ban is lifted during the ban period of Wanwan. Last year, there was a big-screen movie about "Running to the Angry Sea" filmed in the mainland, and I didn't dare to accept it, so I only recommended a tricky little brother Andy Lau to shoot. Therefore, I hope that Mr. Cha will see a bunch of new faces that are not famous when the time comes, and don't be surprised. ”

Mr. Zha smiled: "It doesn't matter, if my martial arts drama must be filmed by a popular star before anyone can watch it, it means that my story is not good." I believe that history will slowly prove that my story is who plays and who is popular. ”

"Then it was so happily decided. ”

Gu Biao signed the agreement drafted by Mr. Cha's secretary on the spot, and then directly took 100,000 Hong Kong dollars in cash to pay the bill, and the matter was decided.

The business of buying film and television adaptation rights directly with cash in person is also very rare in the industry.

(Note: It was said above that Andy Lau and Chen Yulian's version of "The Condor" was filmed in 82, which is a research error, so I will correct it here.) Liu and Chen's "Condor" was also filmed in 83, and it was after Andy Lau went to Hailan to return to Xiangjiang in "Running to the Angry Sea", because of the good results of "Running to the Angry Sea", Shaw Brothers rewarded him for playing the leading role in Jin Yong's drama once.

In 82, Shaw Brothers also filmed "The Condor", but it was a movie, not a TV series, starring Leslie Cheung. The previous article confuses the two. ）

……

Leaving the "Ming Pao" newspaper office, Gu Biao's business in Xiangjiang is over.

He asked his secretary to get a ticket back to Qiantang early tomorrow morning, and then go back to his small villa in Xiangjiang, ready to rest for the night before leaving.

Regardless of whether there is anyone living in the villa, Gu Biao will hire a maid to take care of it all year round and record visitors-

In the era when there were no mobile phones and pagers, the rich people in the three holes of the cunning rabbit did just that. Because you don't know if there will be guests coming to you when you are in a foreign country, if you can't even convey a letter of approval, it is rude to the business tycoons.

So, as soon as Gu Biao returned to the villa in Yau Ma Tei, he saw a visitor.

It turned out that Han Ting was waiting for him.

"Didn't you return to China yesterday?" Han Ting's tone was a little resentful, but it was only a flash, and then she was very righteous and awe-inspiring, "I also want to communicate with you about the electronic compatibility standards development meeting." ”

Han Ting's Hanle Electronics, although it is only the OEM of Gu Biao Tiankun Entertainment, has considerable experience in consumer electronics after all. So this time, she also got a place to participate in the electromagnetic compatibility standard development meeting.

She was in a hurry to find Gu Biao, and that was the name.

In order to avoid suspicion, she did not fly to the United States in December and January to coordinate customers, and before that, from September to November, she had to fly to the United States for a week to coordinate customers.

"I'm sorry to talk to Huo Ye and Mr. Zha about business. Gu Biao acted indifferently, then turned his head and instructed the maid who was in charge of the villa, "Go and clean up the reception room upstairs, I have to talk about business with Mr. Han." ”

"I really want to talk about business, and there are a lot of things I don't understand, how Atari can finish so quickly. Han Ting's expression seemed very intellectual and inquisitive.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
