Chapter 48: Celebration Banquet
Seeing Shao Daheng's shameless posture, Wu Cheng was also helpless, and coughed lightly at the end, and said: "Actually, the idea is very simple, now in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the most popular martial arts novels, who is Mr. Shejin Yong? As long as Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels are adapted into TV series, wouldn't it be good? For example, the book "Book of Swords and Enmity"!"
When Shao Tycoon heard this, he couldn't help but look at Wu Cheng a little strangely, and finally scolded with a smile: "You little monkey, are you still inserting eyeliner on our wireless?"
Wu Cheng blinked innocently, and finally smiled bitterly: "No, are you! Are you really going to adapt this novel? I said that it was a coincidence, you definitely wouldn't believe it?"
Shao Daheng chuckled when he heard this, and said: "At most, it can only be regarded as a hero's vision! This idea is just a brief exchange between several of our high-level executives, and we haven't even decided which one to shoot." However, do you really think "Book of Swords and Enmity" is good?"
Wu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Actually, any one is good, I just think that my sister Zhi is very suitable for the role of 'Huo Qingtong' in 'Shujian'." She also has a ministry contract with you wireless, how about you always think this role will be given to her?"
Shao Daheng stretched out his hand and tapped him a few times, and said, "You little monkey, I know that you won't make a move if you don't have any benefits." In fact, I think that the role of Huo Qingtong is also very suitable for Miss Wang Mingquan Wang, how to say that she is also our wireless person. ”
"Although Sister Ah is also suitable, don't you think that with my Sister Zhi's current popularity, it's a bit of a waste if you don't use wireless?" Wu Cheng smiled: "Of course, I just mentioned it casually, as for whether to use her or not, you have to have the final say." ”
Seeing Wu Cheng's appearance of not taking the bait, Shao Daheng was also a little helpless, stretched out his hand and nodded at him, and said with a smile: "'Five Lucky Stars' helped Jiahe make a lot of money, so you don't have to think about cooperating with our Shaw Brothers?
Wu Cheng glanced at Shao Tycoon and found that his expression was quite serious, so he couldn't help but be a little silent, it is not impossible to cooperate with Shao Brothers. After all, with his current strength, it is impossible to organize his own cinema chain, either to cooperate with Golden Harvest or with Shaw Brothers, depending on which side has more sincerity. In comparison, if Shaw Brothers is willing to make the same conditions as Golden Harvest and cooperate with Shaw Brothers, it is not impossible. But is Shaw willing?
Wu Cheng pondered for a moment and said: "Sixth uncle, to be honest, who to cooperate with is not cooperation! But the premise is, what kind of conditions can you give Donglong? Donglong International is not my sole decision after all, I have to explain it to other shareholders!"
"What kind of conditions do you want?"
"It doesn't have to be too high, it's the same as the conditions given by Golden Harvest, so I'll give you priority, how about it?"
Shao Daheng smiled slightly, and sighed in his heart, although this mention is good, it is basically impossible to mention the same conditions as Jiahe.
Of course, Wu Cheng basically knows the situation of the Shaw Brothers, so he is just talking. In comparison, Shaw Brothers is more old-fashioned than Golden Harvest, and there are some things that they are not actually unwilling to change, but they are unable to change.
At this time, Wu Cheng saw that Father Zhong was communicating with someone with Zhong Chuhong, holding a wine glass, and when Wu He looked at him, he also looked at Wu Cheng, but Zhong Chuhong on the side pouted slightly, twisting his head to the side, as if he was angry with Wu Cheng.
Of course, this can't be blamed on her, who told her to see Wu Cheng intimately taking Zhao Yazhi to communicate with others as soon as she came, and didn't go to her for the first time? I didn't treat her as a girlfriend at all! So I was angry with him, and that was right.
Wu Cheng beckoned to Father Zhong, and Father Zhong said 'I'm sorry' to the man, and then brought Zhong Chuhong over, "Hello Sir Shao, Ah Cheng, what are you looking for me?"
"Sixth Uncle, let me introduce you, this Uncle Zhong is my partner, the boss of Phoenix Clothing, this is his baby daughter Zhong Chuhong, presumably Uncle Sixth should be no stranger. I think wireless and phoenix clothing can actually cooperate one or two......"
Sir Shao nodded at Father Zhong, his attitude was very indifferent, but Father Zhong didn't think there was anything wrong, he was a tycoon, and he could nod and smile at him, and he had already given him enough face.
"You little guy, you're thinking of a way to take advantage of our wireless again, right?"
Wu Cheng shook his head with a chuckle and said, "This time it's really not to take advantage, but to save you money wirelessly." Wu Cheng said, winked at Zhong Chuhong, and continued: "Do you think, if the wireless fashion dramas in the future are provided by Phoenix Costume Company for free, how much prop cost can be saved by wireless? Especially in those fashion dramas, many costumes are worn by those actors, and they don't fit at all. ”
Wu Cheng's complaint made the corners of Shao Tycoon's mouth twitch, but he still maintained the smile he deserved, only occasionally a little unnatural.
Wu Cheng didn't care, relying on his young age, he continued to talk eloquently, "Sixth uncle, do you want it! In the future, when you open every fashion drama wirelessly, there will be a costume company that specially tailors decent costumes for your actors, what will be the effect? Isn't it more tasteful and high-grade than just taking a costume and wearing it? If the grade is high, the reputation is naturally good, and the reputation is good, so the ratings of your wireless are not long popular? For your wireless, it is simply a business without capital!"
Shao Daheng just laughed, and when Wu Cheng finished speaking, he smiled and asked: "Then what do you want from wireless?" I believe that pie will not fall from the sky for no reason, and you little monkey is not a philanthropist. ”
"It's even easier!" Wu Cheng snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "As long as you add a sentence of 'thanks to Phoenix Costumes' at the end of each episode." Of course, it would be even better if those program teams could thank Phoenix Clothing for their sponsorship when they were doing the show. It's just a matter of words for you, isn't it?"
Shao Daheng finally understood Wu Cheng's purpose, he shook his head and smiled: "With your shrewd mind of this little guy, don't you think it's a pity not to do other business and go to the entertainment industry to stir up trouble and rain? ”
"What does Uncle Sixth think? If not, then we have to change the family!"
"Are you a cat?
"I'm a tiger!
“……”
Wu Cheng's words made Shao Tycoon speechless, and then he lost his laughter, and even Zhong Chuhong on the side couldn't help but chuckle. Seeing Wu Cheng looking good, she couldn't help but whiten him again.
After chatting with Shao Daheng for a while, Wu Cheng was pulled aside by Father Zhong and frowned in a low voice: "Ah Cheng, if you do this, won't our company have to produce several ordinary clothes at the same time?"
Wu Cheng shook his head and smiled: "Uncle Zhong, don't do this! What we have to do is to make mid-to-high-end products, those starring costumes that fit our company's brand can be made, and those that don't fit will naturally be handed over to other companies." If Uncle Zhong has friends, he can also join them in and cook them! Let's eat meat, and it's okay to find some friends to drink some soup together! Of course, it depends on whether they are willing to do these troublesome things. ”
After communicating with Father Zhong, Wu Cheng didn't have time to laugh with Zhong Chuhong for a few words, when he saw Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang coming over together.
"I saw that you had a good chat with Sir Shao before, what's the matter? Are you Donglong preparing to cooperate with the Shaw Brothers?" Zou Wenhuai's tone carried a hint of mockery, obviously looking down on the Shaw Brothers.
Of course, Golden Harvest has the qualifications to look down on Shaw Brothers, after all, in the past few years, Shaw Brothers has been beaten by Golden Harvest at the box office, and it is no wonder that his self-confidence has swelled.
Wu Cheng smiled and raised his glass, signaled, and said: "Cooperation is naturally there, it depends on whether the conditions of the two sides are disturbed in the end." It's also difficult for us Donglong with little arms and legs to be sandwiched between your two top masters to make a living! Uncle Huai won't want to come to me again to take advantage!"
When Zou Wenhuai heard this, his face was dark, and he had a lot of opinions about Wu Cheng's lazy attitude. He Guanchang on the side had a good attitude, and said with a smile: "Ah Cheng said that he laughed, before you Donglong became popular because of "Five Lucky Stars", no one in Xiangjiang knows who doesn't know! Now that you have started filming your second drama, many people are looking forward to it! By the way, your second drama, has the theater line fallen?"
Wu Cheng smiled and said: "If you Golden Harvest are willing to split the box office with me, I naturally don't have much opinion." I'm afraid that Uncle Huai will feel that he has suffered a big loss again and is unwilling to cooperate with me!"
Zou Wenhuai was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and felt that Wu Cheng was very unkind, why did every sentence sound like he was squeezing him and mocking him? Just like he mocked Shaw Brothers.
"What about overseas distribution rights, or a buyout?" He Guanchang asked again.
Wu Cheng smiled and said: "It's still a bit far to talk about these things now, why not wait for the film to come out, let's sit down and talk slowly, what do you think!"
The three chatted for a while, and Wu Cheng said goodbye to the two of them and went to chat with others.
Evil Wenhuai snorted lightly and whispered to He Guanchang: "Ah Chang, I'll go first!"
"Ah Huai, you won't really be angry with that kid, I think, he is deliberately angry with you!"
Zou Wenhuai chuckled and said, "Don't you know, I also did it on purpose to show him? That little guy thinks that he can really make me angry and take advantage of me, I'm just making a show for him!" After a pause, he said again: "This time, if Donglong is unwilling to cooperate with us, then use "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" to snipe him, and see if he can still laugh!"
When He Guanchang heard this, he was a little speechless, thinking about it, if this result really happened, then it is estimated that the most depressed one will be Wu Cheng's little guy!
In this way, it is unlikely that Wu Cheng will not cooperate with Jiahe.
