Chapter 13 The Great Cause of Team Building

On August 24, 1976, "Star Wars" began to be released in DreamWorks theaters.

The film's real and fantastic special effects, magnificent pictures, and majestic plot made the entire Xiangjiang fans rush into the theaters of the DreamWorks Cinema Line, and all the media reported the hot screening of "Star Wars". The box office of the film created a miracle on the same day, reaching 820,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Although the original empty "Star Wars" was also a sensation in Xiangjiang, the box office was not satisfactory, because there were too few theaters and the publicity was not in place, so it only sold a few million box office.

Wang Jie's life is different, the shooting cost of "Star Wars" is twice as high as the original one, so the picture is more gorgeous and real, DreamWorks Cinemas is the third largest cinema in Xiangjiang, the screen is sufficient, plus Wang Jie has advertised on TVB, Li's TV, and Jiayi TV, so the box office of this time and space is so high.

At ten o'clock in the morning of August 25, Wang Jie took Shi Nansheng and Le Yiling to charter Room No. 1 on the second floor of the Xiangjiang Wenhua Hotel to entertain Zou Wenhuai and Shao Yifu.

The banquet lasted for an hour before it ended, and then Wang Jie began to explain the purpose of the banquet, "This time, I invited a few people to come over to discuss the issue of several DreamWorks films, together with the foreign distribution of the three films "Ghost Horse Wisdom and Stars" that were just painted yesterday and the previous "Serpentine Trickster", "Seven Days of Wrong Love", and "Funny Times", I want to subcontract to Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers Pictures. ”

DreamWorks has only been established for less than a year, and the layout of foreign distribution has not yet begun.

Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai were overjoyed, the four movies are all phenomenal, and they can definitely sell at sky-high prices for foreign releases, and Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers have their own theaters in Nanyang, and the film will definitely make a big profit at the box office after its release. But the two of them were old foxes, and their faces were expressionless.

Shao Yifu spoke first and said: "For the sake of Young Master William's face, we will buy out the four films by Shaw Brothers for 10 million. ”

Zou Wenhuai next to him sneered: "Sixth brother, the business didn't do this, people are not stupid!"

According to the quality of the four films and their box office performance in Xiangjiang, the price given by Shao Yifu is really not authentic.

Wang Jie relieved the siege and said: "Mr. Zou, Mr. Shao, just let the people below negotiate the specific price, we don't need to do this little thing ourselves." I'll invite you two to enjoy the movie "Star Wars" shot by my company in the United States, I guess you haven't seen it yet!"

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Shi Nansheng and Le Yiling came to Wang Jie's villa in the mid-mountain area with the drawn up contract.

In the study, Wang Jie asked the maid to serve them two cups of hot coffee, and when the servant left the study, he asked, "What is the result?"

Wang Jie asked Shi Nansheng and Le Yiling to be in charge of the negotiation, just to train them.

Both of them were difficult to entangle, but the result was okay, Shaw Brothers Pictures got "Seven Days of Wrong Love" and "Funny Times" for a buyout price of 14 million Hong Kong dollars, and Golden Harvest Pictures got two films, "Ghost Horse Wisdom and Many Stars" and "Serpentine Trickster", which were also packaged and bought out, and the price was 12 million Hong Kong dollars. Shi Nansheng replied on behalf of the two.

Wang Jie praised: "Very good, you two have contributed a lot to selling at such a large price." In the future, you will be responsible for the distribution of all DreamWorks films in other cities, and you will be in charge of the specific matters, and establish a good channel as soon as possible, so that you can not be controlled by others!"

In the next few days, DreamWorks Film Company successively established three departments of screenwriting, stunts, and artist management, which were managed by Huang Baiming, Cheng Long, and Shi Tian, and Mecca was responsible for the overall distribution and coordination.

Wang Jie gave Shi Tian a system document modified after the CAA agency in the United States, and signed Yuan Kui, Yuan Dart, Lin Zhengying, and Dong Wei from Cheng Long to the artist department and gave them an A-level contract, and Wu Yusen, the director who was led into the company by Mecca, also signed a B-class contract in the artist department. Wang Jie also kept his promise, and bought a huge amount of insurance for all the dragon and tiger martial artists in the stunt department established by Cheng Long, including Cheng Long, and his salary was more than twice that of the dragon and tiger martial artists of other companies in Xiangjiang at the moment, which made Cheng Long establish his prestige at the beginning of the stunt department. Wang Jie also gave Huang Baiming the sub-plot scripts of the four scripts of "Difficult Brothers", "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", "Fa Qian Han", and "Drunken Fist", and marked the suggestions of relevant directors and leading actors, as well as "Mr. Zan and Looking for Qian Hua", "Senior Brother Goes Out", and "Miscellaneous Boy" Three script outlines, let Huang Baiming and his screenwriters fill in and modify.

Wang Jie stayed in Xiangjiang for nearly a month, and only returned to the United States on a special plane on August 30, when the North American box office of "Star Wars" exceeded 300 million US dollars, and the global box office also reached 650 million US dollars, and it is still hot.

On August 31, Wang Jie arrived at Blackwater International's headquarters in the Great Disneymore Swamp in North Carolina, where a number of barracks had been built as a base.

Wang Jie and the old butler stopped the car outside the gate of the base, Matthew Clark, the driver and bodyguard, got out of the car and opened the back door, and when Wang Jie and old Jim got out of the car, there were already six strong tall white men standing in front of the door with a little majesty.

The old butler skillfully introduced: "This is Young Master William, and he is also your boss. Young Master William, this is the Harrison Field I told you earlier, Cameron Hill, Daniel Sharp, Jack Brown, Oliver Green, and Sam Bryan. Daniel Sharp, Jack Brown, and Oliver Green are from the Royal Marine Corps Commando Brigade, and Harrisonfield, Cameron Hill, and Sam Bryan are from the U.S. Navy SEALs. ”

"Hello, Master William!" the six of them gave a military salute neatly.

"Hello!" Wang Jie waved his hand and walked into the camp with the others.

After everyone sat down in the simple living room of the base, Daniel Sharp, who was once a lieutenant and the highest-ranking of the six, stood up and said: "Young Master William, our Blackwater International lacks a lot of necessary light and heavy weapons and military electronic equipment, which is very detrimental to the training of recruiters in the future, and I hope it will be solved as soon as possible." ”

"Don't be so serious!" Wang Jie raised his hand to let Daniel Sharp sit down and said to the old Jim next to him: "Contact the elder Bush as soon as possible and let him help solve it." ”

When Wang Jie founded Blackwater International Security, he donated $200,000 to the Bush family and gave 10 percent of Blackwater International's shares to Bush Jr. The Bush family has a lot of military power in the United States, and Wang Jie needs some forces to escort the security company.

The old butler nodded and took notes, and Wang Jie continued: "Daniel Sharp, from today onwards, you will be responsible for the construction and personnel recruitment management of the entire base, Jack Brown, Oliver Green and Sam Bryan will assist, Harrison Field and Cameron Hill, you will rush to Xiangjiang and be responsible for all matters of the Hong Kong Island branch." The six of you are the first batch of personnel of the company, as a veteran, in addition to the benefits negotiated before, I will give each of you 1% of the company's shares for free, and I hope you will work hard to manage Blackwater International. ”

After hearing this, the six people stood up excitedly and swore loudly: "I fought for Young Master William!"

Wang Jie did not stay at the base of Blackwater International Company for long, and returned to William's Farm on the same day after explaining the matter.
