Chapter 59 Satellite Corporation
"Qi viagra, you don't need to bring me to Taiwan to talk about this matter in detail. Chen Jialuo smiled and skipped the topic directly.
If the film is suitable and the time is sufficient, he doesn't mind using a pseudonym to do Zeng Qiwei a favor. But after reading the script of "Golden Swallow", it is obvious that he is following the trend of "A Chinese Ghost Story", without any novelty. Even if Zhong Qiushui starred, it is estimated that there will be no improvement. What's more, his "Prison Storm" is about to be filmed, and he can't spare much time at all.
Although Chen Jialuo did not explicitly refuse, he directly skipped this topic. Zeng Qiwei also knew it, but smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, I invite you to eat Taiwanese food." ”
"I'll fly to Taiwan with just a phone call, of course I want to taste Taiwanese food!" Chen Jialuo was not polite to Zeng Qiwei at all, after all, the other party is half Taiwanese.
In his early years, his father was the director of the Heung Kong Military Police Station, and in the 60s and 70s, when corruption was rampant, the police and the gang were completely one family. In the end, because of the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Mr. Zeng also evaded the pursuit with the famous Chinese chief inspector Brother Le, and finally came to Taiwan to retire.
At that time, Mr. Zeng not only served as the director of the Xiangjiang Military Police Station, but also a famous football player, the coach of the Xiangjiang Police Football Team, and the executive member of the Xiangjiang Chinese Football Association.
Interestingly, Zeng Qiwei's debut is also related to the love of football inherited from his father. When Zeng Qiwei was 16 years old, he represented the Xiangjiang team to play in the Youth Cup in South Korea, and later admired his friends in the entertainment industry and the famous martial arts instructor Liu Hongliang, and asked him if he was willing to be a dragon and tiger martial artist, so this opportunity prompted Zeng Qiwei to become a filmmaker.
Zeng Qiwei was favored by others back then, and he was also willing to help the future. The reason why Chen Jialuo was able to direct "Mong Kok Night" was that Zeng Qiwei was also one of the leaders who made great contributions. When I was filming, I gave a lot of advice.
Zeng Qiwei made a phone call, and Chen Jialuo flew to Taiwan without asking too much. Now he wants food, and of course there is it, and it is very hearty.
In a private room of the Lijing Hotel, Zeng Qiwei and Chen Jialuo chatted while eating, and said bluntly: "Ah Luo, are you interested in starting your own company? Now that the film industry is getting better and better, you can't go wrong by taking advantage of the opportunity to make more money." ”
"After all, working for someone is only a few dollars in a lifetime, right? No matter how good you are as a director, if you are given a salary of five million, it will be heavenly. Come out and do it yourself, as long as it's not too bad, you won't lose anything!"
"Qi viagra, you mean that you plan to pull me into cooperation!"
The invitation to "Golden Swallow" is not false, Chen Jialuo is willing to pay three million, and he can take it away at any time. But on this matter, Zeng Qiwei has no need to let Chen Jialuo go to Taiwan. Listening to what he meant, he was preparing to start a film production company by himself, and he also wanted to bring Chen Jialuo to do it together.
As Zeng Qiwei said, now is the golden age of Xiangjiang movies, as long as it is not too bad, you will not lose money in any way. A passable book or an actor with appeal or even a good director is enough for a movie to make money at this time.
Of course, all the premise is that you have a harmonious relationship with the three major cinema chains of Xiangjiang Cinema and can get the schedule.
At that time, even if the local box office in Xiangjiang can't recover its costs, there is such a large market in Southeast Asia, plus the income from video tapes and so on, there will definitely be no loss. This is also the reason why Hong Kong Films is increasingly pursuing speed, and even makes a movie every week.
To make money, many people's idea is to take advantage of the good world to make a little more.
Chen Jialuo does want to start his own independent film company, but now his original accumulation is insufficient, and he can't be compared with Zeng Qiwei at all. People are now rich, connected, and capable, so why worry about big things.
With the current situation, the reason why Zeng Qiwei invited Chen Jialuo was because the results of "A Chinese Ghost Story" were there, and he was willing to give a small head to see if Chen Jialuo was a piece of gold.
It's a pity that Chen Jialuo is not considered at all for such a small head in the company. Just like the original art capital, isn't it still in a state of fragmentation?
Therefore, Chen Jialuo smiled bitterly: "I don't have the money to cooperate with you, and I don't eat or drink all over my body, so I will be paid for "A Chinese Ghost Story". 500,000 is only enough for the cost of a few films for one day. ”
Zeng Qiwei said with a smile: "I don't need you to pay, I am cooperating with Jiashang." Half of Jiashang, half of us. When the time comes, I'll give you twenty percent of my half. ”
"Jiashang?Satellite Company?" Chen Jialuo thought that Zeng Qiwei was planning to start an independent production company, but he didn't expect that this bigwig, one of the seven giants of Yidu, would go to Jiashang to set up a satellite company.
At that time, Jiashang successfully retained the "cold-faced smiler" Xu Yuanwen, which continued to call for wind and rain in the Hong Kong film market after Bruce Lee's death, and in the 70s, the Xu brothers films were able to refresh the box office record twice and topped the annual box office list four times, and Xu Yuanwen and others have been loyal to Jiashang in the past 20 years, and the successful implementation of the "dividend system" and "satellite system" is undoubtedly an important contributor.
For example, Jiashang's cooperation with the famous Hong Taishan is very flexible. In addition to the salary, production fee and dividends, if Sanmao (Hong Taishan's nickname) makes films for other film companies (such as "Beware of Little Hands" and New Ingot Productions for "Yongjia Film Company" under Lei Zhen Cinema Line), Jia Shang will also be responsible for the distribution of the film in overseas markets.
As for Sanmao's "Summer Lucky Star" directed in 1985, it cooperated with Jiashang in the form of "buyout", that is, Jiashang provided filming funds, and after filming, the film copyright was bought out. It's almost after the filming that Jia Shang gave him a check, the amount is very large, even if he buys out this play, the profit from the whole play, whether it is a loss or a profit, it is none of Hong Taishan's business.
The satellite companies under Jiashang that Chen Jialuo knows about alone include Fanglong's Weishang, Hong Taishan's Taishang, and their brother's Yuanshang, etc. Similar to Fang Long and Hong Taishan, they are completely on an equal footing with Jiashang, and their income is equally shared, so naturally no one will choose to change jobs.
Even if Hong Taishan found someone else to build a new ingots film and television company and rented the original Shaw Brothers theater, Jiashang still didn't say anything. What's the explanation? If the Taishang of the other party is placed there, he will not worry that the other party will not have the heart to make a film for himself.
"How about Arlo, come with me to Jiashang to set up a satellite company, there is a lot of freedom, and no one interferes with your filming at all. If we do it, the income will not be worse than Fang Long's!" "Now Zeng Qiwei plans to go to Jiashang, and then with the support of Jiashang, he will build a satellite company like his good friend Hong Taishan and others to make money. At the beginning, the division does not need to be opened, and after there are strong works and box office guarantees, everyone will be their own at that time, and any conditions will be easy to discuss.
