Chen Jialuo himself is not disgusted with the satellite company of the Jiashang model, and even feels at the unique vision of the boss of Jiashang. was able to squeeze the Shaw Brothers film empire to the point of suspension back then, didn't it rely on these means.

In the era when Shaw Brothers implemented the blockbuster studio system, Mr. Shaw and his actors were all in an employment relationship, because Shaw Brothers always required actors or directors to sign long-term contracts with them, and the time limit was often one to several years.

At that time, the salaries of artists during the contract period did not increase or decrease ($2,000 for first-line actors, and there were no dividends), and actors who were "wrapped" under the system could not go out to take on dramas.

And in its heyday, although the Shaw Brothers had thousands of staff and a very large cinema city, this "unprecedented film kingdom in the history of Chinese cinema" is not played every day, so it is not for everyone to make the best use of it, and then the problem arises.

Some of the staff who can't make it to the crew are paid their salaries every month, not to mention that many people have to wait for the show to start every day, and as a result, there is often an embarrassing scene of "waiting for the rabbit" in the huge cinema, coupled with the never-ending expenses such as on-set maintenance, machine maintenance, and daily necessities, which is really a big burden.

Another point is that under the big studio system, producers are constrained by the interference of cinema dealers and the taboo of "crossing the line", so the scope of work is often narrow (such as arranging filming time and finding venues, etc.), and it is not nosy to talk about freedom?

On the one hand, Mr. Chow's outsourcing system at Jiashang is the opposite of the Shaw Brothers' large-scale studio system, which breaks through the limitations of "contractor" and actively seeks or accepts cooperation with different cinema companies and producers, in order to achieve an "optimal mix" to a greater extent.

On the other hand, it gives stars and producers a more equal creative status in the form of partnerships, that is, supports each other to establish a "satellite company".

The parent company oversees the script, cost and shooting schedule to start the film independently, which allows it to create a more diverse genre, and after the film is completed, it can be directly handed over to the parent company for publicity and distribution, or it can be independently "outsourced" to other film companies.

This reduces the cost of additional costs and broadens the scope of filmmaking, which is the best of both worlds.

As for dividends, Jiashang's outsourcing system is also different from the "established terms" under the studio. In addition to remuneration and production fees, the profits of the film's blockbusters can be distributed according to a certain percentage (up to 55 cents), and the sharing objects also include individual actors and cooperative companies, so that such an "equal and mutually beneficial" model will naturally allow more stars, producers or other cinema distributors to be willing to cooperate.

Of course, more importantly, as the market's requirements for movie themes become more and more stringent, assembly line operations have long been unable to meet the audience's vision.

Instead, there is the recognition and desire for creators, so driven by the mainstream concept, the studio system gradually declined, and the independent producer system that coincided with the creative initiative immediately emerged, which is undoubtedly the inevitable direction of the change of the focus of the film industry.

Independent filmmaking is in full bloom in Hong Kong, and everyone can see that the film market is hot. Especially capable people like Zeng Qiwei must be the first to make money.

If it weren't for Chen Jialuo's re-emergence with "A Chinese Ghost Story", Zeng Qiwei would have forgotten this kid. I didn't expect that re-entering the rivers and lakes is a heavy fist, and such a director will definitely make a profit by keeping some shares by his side.

It's a pity that Zeng Qiwei doesn't know the ambitions in Chen Jialuo's heart, if he simply takes a small share, and it is a satellite company controlled by others, then it is completely the same as his current situation in the film studio.

No matter how big the so-called degree of freedom is, after all, it is still someone else's satellite company, and there is nothing more satisfying than being your own boss and having the right to make decisions.

Although he had already made a decision in his heart, Chen Jialuo finally had to take care of Zeng Qiwei's kind invitation, and after thinking about it for a long time, he refused ruthlessly: "Brother Qi Viagra, I am very grateful for your view of me." But my brother just pulled me along, and I couldn't go. And my new film has just been filmed, and I can't get out. ”

"It's okay, hehe. Zeng Qiwei was slightly unhappy in his heart, but he still didn't show it in the end. He raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said, "I still have some things, you eat slowly." I have a room reservation for you, the room card is at the front desk, and I will take you to have a good time later. ”

Seeing Zeng Qiwei's figure disappear, Chen Jialuo shook his head and continued to eat. I have to say that Taiwan's special snacks still taste very good.

He knew that Zeng Qiwei was already unhappy, but many things were like that. It's not that you show a certain amount of sincerity to impress the other person. If you can't beat the other party, you can't blame the other party for not giving face.

In this regard, Zeng Qiwei has done a very good job. He has always been good at dancing with long sleeves, and he will not inexplicably grudge with others. It's just that the business has not been discussed, and the two of them will be embarrassed to sit down again, so they will leave first and wait to calm down, and then go out to play at night, and this matter will be over.

Of course, Chen Jialuo will not use Zeng Qiwei's invitation as a bargaining chip to talk to Xu You. In this entertainment industry, many things are inherently unsightly, and there is no need to put them on the table. It's good that everyone knows many things, and there is no need to make yourself and others unhappy.

So after Zeng Qiwei left, Chen Jialuo's mentality was quickly readjusted. After the meal, go straight to your room to rest. Zeng Qiwei called halfway, and Chen Jialuo also politely refused the other party's invitation to go out to meet Taiwanese sisters, but walked around Ximending alone under the neon lights.

With a fluent Mandarin speaker, Chen Jialuo naturally won't worry about having nowhere to go. Really speaking, the only thing that attracts him in Taiwan is Ximending. Because Lin Canghai was discovered in Ximending, and then became the beloved 'Joan girl'.

Lin Canghai, who is over 30 years old now, is still the dream lover of many people, she is in the stage of seeking change in movies, so she did not hesitate to suffer in Fang Long's "Police Story", cut off her long hair in Xu You's "Dao Ma Dan", and changed her style.

"Smack!"

With a sound of something landing, Chen Jialuo's fugue thoughts were retracted.

Before he could say sorry, the other party had already quickly picked up something on the ground and said, "Handsome guy, can you go out with your eyes on your feet?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm thinking about ...... thing" Chen Jialuo looked at the bent girl apologetically, and when the other party got up and saw his face clearly, he was a little stunned.
