Chapter 50: Rovi
"Boss! Are the movies ready to start?" Robert asked as soon as he saw Walter in the office he had prepared for Disney.
"No, Hong Kong people are sticking to what they call traditions. ”
"So what to do, if the filming cycle is delayed because of this, the board of directors will definitely complain about it again. ”
And so on. ”
After Walter finished speaking, he prepared to go directly to the small room at the back of the office and be quiet. I have to say that Golden Harvest is also thoughtful, although this office is not big, but at least there is a small studio, he has a small office room inside, and outside, Robert and Alan each have their own desk, their Disney branch in Hong Kong Golden Harvest, so it is quite an office taste.
However, Walter wanted to be quiet, but someone wouldn't let him calm down, only to see Allen, who had rarely spoken, take Walter down, and then saw the financial assistant report: "Boss, there is something wrong with the accounts of the movie." ”
"Isn't that right?" Walter was stunned and muttered suspiciously, he didn't believe that Zou Wenhuai's Jiahe would swallow funds.
"Well, you look here, the props for the previous shooting have been bought, and now they have to buy them again before they have been filmed, and it is obvious that the movie should not have so much unnecessary investment. As he spoke, Alan took out a few account sheets of the purchase list from the table and showed them to Walter.
On the accounts, there are many repeated purchases of props clearly recorded, and they are all marked as used, which makes Walter very surprised, secretly thinking that Zou Wenhuai's old fox will really save such a prop fee for other movies, and deduct money from Disney, which has "deep pockets", right?
In his previous life, Walter had heard that Hong Kong's Run Shaw was stingy in movies, but Zou Wenhuai's words, he really hadn't heard of it, after all, Zou Wenhuai left the Shaw Brothers in the first place, to a large extent, the reason was that Run Run Shaw was very picky and didn't give Zou Wenhuai the equity dividends he wanted, which led to the emergence of Golden Harvest, and Bruce Lee officially chose Golden Harvest because of Run Run Shaw's slamming of the door.
Now, Zou Wenhuai actually bought a lot of props and equipment that the crew obviously couldn't use up at all, and also indicated that they had been used, which was unexpected by Walter. After all, this matter was discovered by Allen, and it can be big or small, although the board of directors may not care about this prop fee, but obviously it will not have a good impression of Concord, and in the end, it can only be Walter himself who bears these invisible pressures.
"Okay, give it to me first, I'll check it out with Concord later. Walter left the account form and asked Alan to leave, ready to take a closer look, and then go to Zou Wenhuai for inquiries.
Knock! Knock!
There was a knock on the door of the office, and everyone followed the reputation, and then they saw a fat man with a full face walking in, this fat man looked a little distinctive, because he did not have small eyes like other fat people, but had a pair of big eyes on his face, and he entered the door with a smile, looking very amiable.
"Hello everyone, my name is Lowe, and I'm looking for Mr. Walter Volt. The fat man was obviously a little familiar, and he introduced himself directly without waiting for Walter to speak, but his English was obviously a little substandard.
After listening to Lowe's words, both Robert and Alan turned their heads to look at Walter, knowing that Walter was familiar with Hong Kong, and they thought this person was his friend. However, Walter obviously didn't know the fat man, and asked curiously, "Mr. Luo, do we know each other?"
"I don't know!"
"Then why did you come to me?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Walter Volt, but I beg your pardon for being abrupt. I'm a director, and I'm here just to pay a visit to you. Luo Wei said with a smile respectfully, the pair of big eyes directly smiled and narrowed, completely making Walter feel like a slave of a big family, and this time he directly talked to Walter in Cantonese, obviously, this has a certain channel news, knowing that Walter's Chinese and Cantonese are not bad.
Seeing this, Walter also replied directly in Cantonese: "It's okay! I don't know what Mr. Luo is doing here?"
"That's right, I'm the director of "Big Brother Tangshan", and I feel good about having a script in my hand, I heard that Mr. Walter Fu has a good eye, and I specially want Mr. to correct one or two this time. ”
The director of Big Brother Tangshan?
Walter was stunned for a moment, and then carefully looked at the person in front of him again, it turned out to be him, the "follower master" who saved the scene halfway and took over "Tangshan Big Brother".
Before coming to Hong Kong, Walter had already sent someone to investigate some things in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, after all, he is not a god, and he does not have the ability to predict everything, so the preliminary investigation is very necessary, he can't guarantee that he will not be cheated in movies when he comes to Hong Kong, so after some investigation, he also knows that this "enemy" who has turned against Bruce Lee is at odds with him.
A year ago, Bruce Lee was invited back from the United States by the Shaw brothers to film, and later turned to Golden Harvest for filming because of Run Run Shaw's slamming the door. At the beginning, it was not particularly taken seriously, and the investment in "Tangshan Big Brother" was not high, it was only filmed in Thailand, the director Wu Jiaxiang was famous, and his ability was not very good at kung fu martial arts themes, which made it difficult to continue halfway through the filming, and then there was Luo Wei who was ordered to save the scene halfway, and as a result, the movie was released, and the box office exploded, exceeding 3 million Hong Kong dollars, setting a new Hong Kong record, which made him and Bruce Lee raise their eyebrows!
After that, Luo Wei wanted to call himself the mentor of "Bruce Lee", but Bruce Lee did not appreciate it, and later because of the script of "Cold Tiger", the conflict between the two gradually arose, and even after that, Bruce Lee hid a four-inch-long sharp knife in the belt pocket and attacked him with a knife.
Of course, these things are just in Walter's mind, he will not wait to see Luo Wei because Bruce Lee and Luo Wei have a holiday, after all, they are both businessmen, not to mention that the other party still came to him to seek cooperation, although Luo Wei is known as the "master of following the trend", but since he can make a name for himself in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, he should have a good ability.
Thinking of this, Walter smiled and took out his hand holding the account list, pointed to the sofa and said, "Mr. Luo, please take a seat, just call me Walter, I'll look at the script and reply." ”
"Okay, Walter, please. Luo Wei looked courteous, as if there was an extra layer of light on his face, as if the big money lord in front of him was going to throw countless money at him.
Walter took the script from Rowe's hand, walked to the couch and sat down, then left the bills on the table casually, and then flipped through the script called "Dragon and Tiger King Kong" that he was not familiar with in his memory.
