Chapter 20: Have you found your drinking partner?

"What's going on with Mr. Zou?"

"I don't know, after I contacted Mr. Zou, it was not him who answered the phone, it was his secretary, and his secretary said that Mr. Zou was sick and it was inconvenient to deal with things. Later, I wanted the secretary to explain the boss's request to meet with Mr. Zou in private, but the other party could not deny it, saying that if they wanted to meet, they would have to wait until Mr. Zou recovered from his illness, and now all of Mr. Zou's itinerary has been postponed and cannot be arranged......"

Emmmmmmm……

At the headquarters of Walt Disney Productions in Burbank, Walter was in the office of his deputy director of film production, talking to his secretary Molly about work.

Since yesterday's private secret meeting with Bruce Lee, Walter returned to the company and arranged for Molly to investigate who was behind the scenes, spread rumors around Bruce Lee and his party, and arrange a private meeting with Zou Wenhuai, the "Godfather of Golden Harvest", on the other hand. It's just that the result is obvious, and the meeting with Zou Wenhuai is obviously not very smooth......

"Bitch!" Vult scolded with his hand on his desk, causing the high-end coffee cup on the desk to shake and spill a lot of coffee on the table.

Old fox!

How could it be so coincidental that he suddenly fell ill before he asked Bruce Lee to inform the eight Hollywood majors, including him, and other film company producers who were interested in cooperating with Bruce Lee to attend the reception he held?

You must know that in the memory of his previous life, this "Godfather of Golden Harvest" stepped into the position of the big man step by step and down-to-earth, how many difficulties have been overcome, and it is completely a model of hard work, how could it be possible to fall ill at the most important time for Concord to choose partners in Hollywood, and even resign from all the trips?

Could it be that Zou Wenhuai couldn't meet a few negotiators in the ward? Covering his ears and stealing the bell, it was clear that he didn't want to see anyone before the drinking party, so as to strive for the greatest interests in his negotiations......

In this regard, Walter can only say in his heart that 10,000 grass and mud horses have run through, MMP, as expected, is used to experiencing strong winds and waves in Hong Kong, and can abandon Run Run Shaw to go alone, and can grab meat under the mouths of others when the Shaw Brothers Film Company monopolizes Hong Kong, and the rising boss can always have insight into the development of the situation.

Just like now, Warner Bros. originally interviewed Bruce Lee to seek cooperation, if it was in the past, Bruce Lee must have come to the United States in a hurry, and finally filmed under the instructions of the financial owner Warner Bros., he would not have thought about it at all, and major Hollywood studios were vying to seek cooperation.

However, it was because of Zou Wenhuai's suggestion that Bruce Lee suddenly had the opportunity to sit on an equal footing with major Hollywood film companies. I don't know if Zou Wenhuai was worried that Bruce Lee would fly away after going to Hollywood, and he would never return, so he proposed to Bruce Lee the most important decision for Bruce Lee.

Zou Wenhuai ignited Bruce Lee, and now Warner Bros. has asked for him, so why doesn't he cooperate with Warner in the name of Concord? After all, he is not only a professional actor, but also the boss of Concord Film Studios, and now Warner Bros. has a request for Bruce Lee, and Bruce Lee can completely cooperate with Warner in the name of Concord Film Studios.

In this way, the success of the film can not only make Bruce Lee famous, but also his Concord Company, and the profits that Bruce Lee will get after that are not just as simple as salary, but can even be shared according to the proportion of the box office. Of course, the most important point of this is that Bruce Lee does not need to be subject to Hollywood studios as before, but can now sit on an equal footing with them and discuss movies, it can be said that Zou Wenhuai's proposal has completely brought Bruce Lee to a new level.

Later, as a partner of Concord, Zou Wenhuai also flew to the United States with Bruce Lee to discuss specific cooperation matters with Warner. In all fairness, although if it weren't for Bruce Lee's personal charm and influence, a small company like Concord would not be worth mentioning in the eyes of Hollywood giants, let alone cooperating, but without Zou Wenhuai's vision of judging the situation, then all this would be in vain.

Of course, according to the progress of history, in addition to Warner Bros., other major Hollywood film studios such as MGM and Columbia also tried to pull Bruce Lee over, and some even promised better conditions than Warner, but they were all rejected by Bruce Lee because they couldn't come up with a good script for a while. As a result, Warner Bros. made concessions, agreeing to accept all the conditions proposed by Bruce Lee's Concorde Film Studios, and took the lead in signing the contract and getting the cooperation contract for "Enter the Dragon".

However, now with the rebirth of Walter, Disney has joined the company competing for Bruce Lee, and like Warner Bros., he has also prepared a suitable script that satisfies Bruce Lee, which directly shattered the advantages that Warner Bros. had mastered, and the consequences of this led to Bruce Lee and his entourage being hesitant and hesitant because of the conditions under which the two companies were opened.

In Walter's mind, the "Godfather of Golden Harvest" must have smelled the opportunity to expand profits and discourse again under the actions of the two companies to continuously fight for Bruce Lee, and completely want to dry Disney and Warner Bros., and set up some obstacles to let the two companies back down some favorable conditions.

Just like now, knowing that it will be difficult for other Hollywood studios to come up with a suitable script for a while, he deliberately delayed the time, and also released an invitation to all the film companies that are interested in cooperating with Bruce Lee to attend the reception, clearly telling everyone that they still have a chance, just bring the script to negotiate quickly, and put pressure on Disney and Warner Bros. in a different direction.

In this regard, Walter is not easy to say anything, after all, it is himself, and when he encounters such good conditions, he will naturally make good use of it to win the greatest benefit for himself. Now that this is beneficial to Bruce Lee and Zou Wenhuai, it is natural to do so, in the final analysis, a mature filmmaker is not only as simple as shooting a good quality movie with a high box office, but also everything outside the movie is what they want to fight for, which is beyond reproach.

"Looks like I'm really going to have to go to that drinking party!" Turning out a tissue, Walter muttered to himself as he wiped the spilled coffee off the table.

Walter's voice was not loud, but it still made Molly hear, and the secretary said very dutifully for the boss: "Boss, have you found a female partner at the drinking party?"
