1297 [Outside the back door]
After listening to Xia's words, Hong Jingbao also realized his current predicament. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, I was still lucky, thinking that there would be a way to solve the best of both worlds. But now seeing Xia shaking his head so affirmatively, his last bit of luck was shattered, and he couldn't help but feel very lost, and he was stunned for a long time without speaking.
Seeing him like this, Summer was also very sympathetic, but he also knew that he couldn't help him.
The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and there is always a time when the tide rises and falls. The competition in the entertainment industry has always been fierce, and there are many newcomers, such as Zhou Yunfa, Liang Jiahui, and Liu Dehua, all of whom have become popular in recent years.
The newcomer is in the position, and if the old man can't make any more progress, he can only be eliminated. This is the law of development, and no one can change it, not even summer.
"Brother Hong, you think about it slowly, I'll go upstairs first. "Summer then said to Hong Kyung-bo.
"Ah Tian, if I have to choose, then I will choose to take a back seat and work hard to promote newcomers in the future. Hong Jingbao sighed and said.
With so many brothers eating with him, he can't be like Cheng Long, who only makes two dramas a year. In that case, his brothers would have to starve to death. As the eldest brother, of course, he should not only think about himself, but also for the livelihood of his brothers. Since we can't take the line of streamlining the administration and preferring shortage to abuse, we can only take a back seat and try to promote newcomers to the top.
"Well, then you can find the right new person first. Once I found it, I promised to help you create a script for him. Summer nodded.
"Thank you, Ah Tian!" Hong Jingbao said gratefully when he heard Xia say this.
"Don't be polite to me, brothers, without your care, I wouldn't have achieved what I am today. Summer laughed.
The reason why he was able to gain a firm foothold in the film industry was because he helped Hong Jingbao write two scripts and won the support of the big brother in the film industry. You can't forget your roots, and you still remember this kindness clearly in the summer.
Hearing him say this, Hong Jingbao was more and more moved. If it weren't for the fact that he had signed a long-term contract with Golden Harvest, he would now want to jump ship and join Tianxia Pictures.
……
"Mr. Xia~" At this time, Wu Siyuan walked out with Deng Guangrong again, "Do you have time, Brother Rong has something I want to discuss with you." ”
"Okay, just say something. Xia nodded and said, knowing that Deng Guangrong came unexpectedly today, he should have something to ask for his help.
Deng Guangrong glanced at Hong Jingbao, who was sitting next to him, opened his mouth, and then closed his mouth again.
"Ah, you talk, I'm going up and drinking. Seeing this, Hong Jingbao immediately said with a smile, and then got up and went back.
"That's right, Mr. Xia, I came to you today in the hope that our film heroes can cooperate with your world pictures. Deng Guangrong then spoke.
"Cooperation?!, what kind of cooperation?" Xia asked with a smile when she heard this.
"Mr. Xia, you have many star directors, and you have such a good cinema chain as the world's cinemas, our Ying Zhijie wants to invite your people to film, and then release it in your theater after filming, and the box office will be divided into five or five points, how about it?" Deng Guangrong proposed with a smile.
When Summer heard this, he smiled slightly and waved his hand, "It's not good." ”
Deng Guangrong wanted to use his people, and he also wanted to use his theater, but in the end, the box office was only five or five points, how could it be so cheap. To be honest, even if the box office is three or seven or twenty or eight points, he will not agree.
Because Deng Guangrong filmed with the help of Taiwanese funds, it was what he hated the most in summer. It's too late to get rid of it, so how can you support his development.
"Mr. Xia, what do you mean......" Deng Guangrong saw that Xia refused so simply, and suddenly his face turned red, and he felt very faceless.
"If Mr. Deng wants to cooperate with me, I suggest that you follow Mr. Wu's example and have me take a stake in Shadow Jie. As long as it becomes a family, cooperation is easy to discuss. Summer smiled slightly.
Ying Zhijie is a member of the Independent Alliance, filming with the help of funds from Taiwanese studios. The boss Deng Guangrong was born as an actor and had the reputation of "student prince" back then. He once went to Taiwan to develop and created a considerable reputation, so he has close ties with that side.
In the late 70s, with the support of Taiwanese film companies, he founded Tai Rong Film Company, and made a series of low-budget violent films, such as "Two Heroes with Hundred Fans", "Poor and Evil", "Bloody Chinatown", "Family Law" and so on, and made some money.
Last year, Daei Film Company changed its name to Movie Zhijie and changed to make hero films. "Jianghu Dragon and Tiger Fight" was produced by it, and it sold for a small 20 million Hong Kong dollars, which made the hero of the film an instant hit.
In terms of theory, Shadow Hero is now a potential independent production company. And Deng Guangrong is also a filmmaker with eyesight, Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei were popular by him in his previous life.
So it's worth acquiring it too. It not only added talent to itself, but also reduced the strength of the independent alliance, killing two birds with one stone.
"You want to take a stake in my Shadow Jie?" Deng Guangrong was stunned for a moment and blinked.
"Not bad. If you're going to work with me, that's the condition. Otherwise, an interview. Summer nodded.
Deng Guangrong hesitated, "Mr. Xia, to be honest, I am not the only boss of Ying Zhijie, I opened it with Mr. Cai Songlin from Taiwan. If you want to buy a stake, I'll have to talk to him first. ”
"What else is there to discuss, just dump him with me. Summer sneered and said, "What important assets does your Shadow Hero have? In this case, why stick there, come to my world film industry is not the same development. ”
Although Ying Zhijie is a well-known independent production company, to be honest, it is still a leather bag company. Aside from the dozen or so films in the library, there are few decent assets left.
Unlike Tianxia Pictures, it has its own theater chain, its own contracted stars, directors, its own production team, and its own studio......
"Doesn't that make me sorry for my friend?" Deng Guangrong hesitated when he heard this.
He has also cooperated with Taiwanese film companies for more than ten years, and they have a deep friendship with each other, otherwise it would be impossible to do business together. In fact, if it weren't for the recent great changes in the Hong Kong film industry, Golden Harvest and New Arts City jointly engaged in monopoly, which compressed the living space of independent production companies, he would not have asked for help like in the summer.
"Then think about it yourself. Summer smiled, then ignored him and went upstairs.
……
"Brother Wu, this ......" Deng Guangrong saw it and immediately said depressedly.
"Hey, Brother Rong, Mr. Xia is so domineering in business, even my Siyuan Pictures has been invested by him. Wu Siyuan smiled bitterly and said, "No way, how can people not bow their heads when they are under the low eaves." Either you don't cooperate with him, or if you want to cooperate with him, you have to accept his conditions. ”
"Alas!" Deng Guangrong sighed, "It's all to blame for Jiahe and Xinyicheng, what kind of monopoly is it that is good and good, it's really." ”
"You'd be wrong. Jiahe and Xinyicheng have a lot of capital, even if they want to monopolize, they don't have that much strength. Wu Siyuan waved his hand and said, "There are other people who really want to monopolize." ”
"What do you mean...... Mr. Xia?" Deng Guangrong said in surprise.
"I didn't say that. Wu Siyuan waved his hand. He is now a member of Tianxia Pictures, and he has signed a three-year contract with Tianxia Pictures, but he doesn't dare to chew his tongue.
"Well, that makes sense. Deng Guangrong nodded, and suddenly realized, "Golden Harvest and Xinyicheng are signing artists and buying theaters, and they spent five or six billion Hong Kong dollars." If it weren't for the support of the summer, where would they have gotten the funds.
It's no wonder that the three of them also formed a fund company, and they raised one billion Hong Kong dollars at once, and they didn't have to spend their own money on filming. It turned out that it had been united for a long time. ”
"Okay, you just need to know this in your heart, so don't say it. Wu Siyuan waved his hand and said, "Think about it, since he wants to engage in monopoly, how can he help you." So you either agree to be a shareholder with him, or stay away from him as much as possible. ”
"Well, I don't understand until now. Deng Guangrong nodded, "If I knew this was the case, I wouldn't have opened this mouth today." ”
"Don't say that. Isn't it just coming out of his mouth this time? To put it mildly, in the future, in case you can't get along, isn't this still a destination? Wu Siyuan persuaded.
Deng Guangrong was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
……
After returning to the restaurant in the summer, he didn't go upstairs again, but used Big Brother to call the front desk of the restaurant, "Hey, please help me call Miss Zhang Min to listen to the phone." ”
The guy then went upstairs and called Zhang Min down, "Miss Zhang, someone downstairs is calling for you." ”
Zhang Min got up and came downstairs in confusion, not knowing who would call the restaurant to find him.
She picked up the phone, "Hey?!"
"Amin, it's me, don't make a noise~" Summer smiled.
"Tian ......" Zhang Min couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the voice of summer, and then he was a little confused, not understanding why he didn't say anything directly to himself, and he had to make a phone call, which made him mysterious.
"I don't want to go up for a drink anymore, I'm going to go first. Summer explained, "I'll be waiting for you at the back door, let's go together." ”
"......" Hearing him say this, Zhang Min's little heart suddenly beat violently, and the feeling was like eloping with summer, which made her speechless with excitement for a while.
"What, you don't want to?" Xia asked suspiciously, seeing that she didn't respond.
"No, no, okay, I'll come to you right away. Zhang Min waved her hand again and again when she heard it, how could she not be willing.
Since the filming of "Hardcover Chasing Girls 2", she has not seen summer for almost half a month, and she has long thought about it.
"Well, then you be careful, pretend that nothing happened, and don't let the reporters find out. Summer reminded her, "I'll be waiting for you in the backdoor car." ”
"Good. Zhang Min nodded immediately, a kind of stimulation that seemed to steal the sun, which made her feel a strange pleasure.
