Chapter 119: New Contract
The bosses of Yongsheng Film Company are the two princes of Xinji, which is already a well-known thing. It's just that everyone knows that the golden age of the film industry has arrived, but there are not many people who have the ability to get a piece of the pie.
There are many rich bigwigs in Xiangjiang, who either can't watch movies for money, or feel that it is too troublesome to make this money. They can't play, and the prince brother of Xinji can't play either.
The truth is actually very simple, Golden Harvest, New Art City and Debao are three-legged, there are their own theaters behind them, if you want to come in and play movies, you must first ensure that the films you shoot can get a good schedule and a lot of shows, otherwise no matter how big your investment is, you can only lose money in it.
Yongsheng Film Company was founded by Xiang Huasheng, the old man of the family, and Xiang Huaqiang, and the old Shixiang Huaqiang, in fact, the person who is talking about this film company is the old Xiang Huasheng. It's been some time since the company was founded, but the one who really participates is even one of the producers, and as for the movies he shoots, it's even less worth showing.
According to Xu Qing's thoughts, if Chen Jialuo's directorial contract was really taken away by Yongsheng Film Company, it would be better to speak. Because Yongsheng is a company, it is still doing things according to the rules of the film industry. As long as it is within the rules, it can be solved according to the rules.
It doesn't matter if you make a film, at least you have to give a price worthy of Chen Jialuo. As for filming a few films, then you have to sit down and talk slowly.
Regarding Xu Wei's suggestion, Chen Jialuo pondered: "Wait for them to come to the door." ”
The contract is in the hands of Xinji, and in the hands of Yongsheng Film Company, which is naturally impossible. Since Chen Yaoqing helped himself, the contract must have long been turned into ashes and disappeared.
Chen Yaoqing is one of the 'Five Tigers' of Xinji, and he is the speaker of Mong Kok, and the only one who can call him is Xinji's leading and 'manager'. Not to mention that the other princes of the Xiang family almost don't interfere in the community, and even if they do, they have to ask for help.
It's just that the situation is a bit serious now, and Chen Jialuo has to avoid the limelight. Even if Shengle's club talks about the rules of the rivers and lakes, he is afraid that Shengle's Xiong Bin will mess up. If you go to make a few movies for Yongsheng Film Company, then this pot Yongsheng and Xinji will be memorized.
If you want the Xiang brothers to carry this pot, you really have to talk about the conditions.
This is the most embarrassing problem in Xiangjiang, Xinyi City can cover the rules, but it can't control people like Shengle Xiongbin. Especially when there are more and more 'bosses' who enter this industry in the future, all kinds of messy things will be chaotic.
is as strong as Fang Long, who was born as a dragon and tiger martial artist, is well-known in Xiangjiang, has a wide range of connections, and has old qualifications, but even if he brought a Hollywood crew to Xiangjiang to film, he was asked by the community underworld for tea money and venue fees, which shows the chaos of the industry.
You must know that Fang Long has his own martial arts, and during this period, there are basically few dragon and tiger martial artists who are not involved in the dark.
In addition to filming, the dragon and tiger warriors are also responsible for maintaining law and order on the set, ganging up and fighting, and even killing people when they open the film. It is said that in the 70s, Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers used gangsters to expel each other in order to compete for the box office, and Shaw Brothers' theaters were often planted with bombs to show intimidation.
So much so that after the stars in the entertainment industry had a mess, they would find a more well-known martial arts brother to settle it.
Chen Jialuo's foundation is too shallow now, just like a child walking on the street with a gold ingot, who doesn't want to grab a piece back when he sees it.
Those who know the rules know that there are characters standing behind him. If he doesn't know the rules or breaks them, he only recognizes the money, not the rules.
If before the filming of "Prison Storm", Chen Jialuo only became famous with "A Chinese Ghost Story", then after "Prison Storm", he has become a sweetheart. Just came to the film company directly, Chen Jialuo met several.
Taiwan has the most film companies, followed by Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and even Japan and South Korea, where bosses have expressed their willingness to invest. And Zeng Zhiwei and others also called to invite him to help them make a movie and so on.
And so on, all according to the rules. At least on the surface, it is according to the rules, as for how you sign the contract, how much to give, etc., it is another mess.
As for the non-conformists, it's simple. For example, the Shengle Xiong Bin that Chen Jialuo met, or Huang Baiming, who was later robbed of a copy of the movie, Liu Tianwang, who was pointed at gunpoint for filming, the brokerage company that received the bullet, Zeng Zhiwei, who was beaten into a pig's head, and Wang Jing, who was slapped in the face......
In his previous life, Li Lianjie was regarded as a cash cow by a group of producers, and whoever stood in their way to wealth really wanted to kill people. So Li Lianjie has seen a lot, got used to it, and learned smartly, no one will kill the chickens that lay eggs, so he started his own company to sell eggs.
The reason why he is so grateful to Xiang Sheng and Xiang Tai is because he can be stable with his back against the big tree, and that period is also the period of his extreme glory in Xiangjiang.
Chen Jialuo's current situation is not so bad, but he knows that the entertainment industry will become more and more chaotic in the future......
Just when Chen Jialuo was thinking nonsense, Xu Xian, who had not been out for a long time, handed over a stack of things in his hand with a smile.
"What do you mean by that...... brother?"
The absent-minded Chen Jialuo thought it was a script or something else, but he couldn't imagine that Xu Wei handed over a new contract related to him.
At the beginning, Chen Jialuo signed a contract with the film studio for three years, and the film studio promised to let Chen Jialuo lead the production of one film every year, and he would give preferential treatment in terms of schedule issues and the number of theaters released.
As for the other terms, they are very relaxed, and the only thing that needs to be eliminated is that he takes private work, even if he uses a pseudonym to help make films.
If it is an ordinary director, such a contract is already very preferential. But Chen Jialuo's rising momentum, such a contract is obviously not worthy of him. Just because he can't take on private work, Xu Yan himself didn't dare to guarantee that someone with a big bill asked him to help with filming, and he didn't go over.
This is a very real problem, even Xu Wei himself still helps Zeng Zhiwei play a role in the movie!
"A Chinese Ghost Story" and the now popular "Prison Storm", Chen Jialuo's soaring momentum can't be stopped. It's like when everyone gathered in the new art city, once they were full-fledged, they all wanted to go their separate ways and show their ambitions.
After all, a film studio is just a film studio, especially now that Xu Wei has made a bad relationship with Wu Yusen because of "The Sequel to the True Colors of Heroes", his former friends have a bit of a taste of turning against each other, which makes him quite emotional.
Chen Jialuo looked at the contract in his hand, with mixed feelings.
You say that this contract is friendly to Chen Jialuoduo? Not necessarily. But you want to say that this contract is not good? But it is exactly what Chen Jialuo wants.
