Chapter 307 [Cow Pill]
Because they had already been contacted, Chen Tianlang took Han Hongyun and came to Tsui Hark's studio in Hong Kong.
Like the appointment, Sammo Hung's eldest brother was also there, so with the help of lawyers on both sides, in Tsui Hark's office, the contract was given to Tsui Hark and Sammo Hung .
Since, it can be regarded as determining the director and martial arts instructors of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain".
Sammo Hung claimed that he still had something to attend to, and left after signing the contract. On the one hand, Chen Tianlang is to win over Tsui Hark, and on the other hand, it is also to let Tsui Hark maximize his talents. So, after signing the contract. Chen Tianlang insisted with the studio, in addition to the producer Shanghai Film Studio must come up with one by himself, the entire power of the crew must be delegated to Tsui Hark, and the most important thing is the casting right.
You must know that the power of directors in Hong Kong is very great, and Chen Tianlang is afraid that when the time comes, Tsui Hark will not adapt to the water and soil, and will be controlled by some bureaucrats in the mainland.
In addition, over the years, the Chinese film and television industry has just improved, and some people have "seen the color" and made some unhealthy habits, that is, they like to shoehorn some artists who are related or want to be praised in a certain film and television drama, which often makes the director feel very troubled, but he is helpless.
In addition, many producers also like to appoint their own director and lead actor at the same time, without considering whether the cooperation between the two parties is appropriate.
It is precisely in order to avoid this kind of thing from happening that Chen Tianlang insisted on letting Tsui Hark build the team by himself, except for the problem of funding, the investor only cooperates, and does not make decisions.
At first, Wu Chenggong was not very receptive to this, but after Chen Tianlang communicated with him on the phone for more than two hours, he finally compromised.
The day after signing the contract, Chen Tianlang found Tsui Hark again and told him about these matters. In order to show his full trust in Tsui Hark, Chen Tianlang even asked Tsui Hark to recommend him as a producer of Shengshi Media.
Tsui Hark was very moved by this incident, and in the words of Hong Kong people, this is the "best partner".
……
When he was talking to Tsui Hark, Chen Tianlang received a call from Huang Laoxie Huang Zhan, saying that Stephen Chow's book had been done, didn't Chen Tianlang want to read it, he could go directly to Stephen Chow's company to have a look.
Chen Tianlang then remembered that Huang Zhan instigated himself to invest in Stephen Chow's new film "God of Food".
Chen Tianlang looked at the time, it was still okay to go alone, so he handed over the other work at hand to Han Hongyun, and then went directly to see Stephen Chow.
Stephen Chow's company name is "Xinghui", as the name suggests, it means that the stars radiate brilliance. However, this company has only just been established, and many procedures are not complete, and it has not officially started operation yet. As the company's first shot, it is to prepare for the filming of "God of Food".
Stephen Chow is notoriously difficult to estranged in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, especially when directing movies, he has always been what he says, often a script can be tossed for a long time, and no one wants to be a partner with him to run this drama, so Stephen Chow wants to attract outside investment.
Chen Tianlang thought that he could meet this famous actor who was rumored to be the "king of comedy" in his previous life when he came to Xinghui Company this time, but he didn't expect that Stephen Chow didn't show up at all, but just threw him an agent and a female lawyer.
That agent Chen Tianlang also knows that the "old acquaintance" in Hong Kong movies often plays ugly and plays supporting roles in Xingye's movies, which is the four-eyed Tian Chicken --- Tian Qiwen.
If Tian Qiwen looks obscene, ugly, and like a beast, then the female lawyer sitting next to him is a beauty. Listening to Tian Qiwen's introduction, Stephen Chow attaches great importance to the legality of the contract, so he asked this female lawyer named "Yu Qiushuang" and Mary in English to participate in the negotiation.
Chen Tianlang didn't care about this, he knew that Hong Kong was very popular and lawyers had to be involved in everything, not to mention that he also brought Han Hongyun, a female lawyer, to Hong Kong this time.
The second floor of Xinghui Company was originally Tian Qiwen's bedroom, and later Stephen Chow became popular, Tian Qiwen was nicknamed "Tian Ji's supporting role" by insiders at the beginning to be called a hot star agent, and now he has moved to Jiulongtang and rented an apartment, and the second floor has since been converted into a conference room, but the company has very few personnel, and some things are directly said in the office on the first floor, so after the conference room is renovated, it is rarely used, Chen Tianlang wants to talk to Tian Qiwen about the content of the script of "God of Food", so he went to the conference room on the second floor.
Chen Tianlang is the first time to see Chinese this female lawyer named Yu Qiushuang, from the first time he saw it, Chen Tianlang made an ambiguous look at Tian Qiwen, such a young and beautiful female lawyer, I don't know if it was Xing Ye himself or Tian Qiwen himself who took a fancy to it.
Yu Qiushuang's upper body is a white shirt with a fancy collar, a small black suit on the outside, and a standard black tube skirt on the lower body, two long legs wrapped in black stockings sit side by side on the sofa, and a pair of high heels inlaid with silver trim are worn on her feet, which is a little more beautiful but dignified, and at this time she is looking at Chen Tianlang with a calm face, waiting for him to speak.
There is such a woman, of course Chen Tianlang will not be in a hurry to speak, but said two digressions with Tian Qiwen, of course Tian Qiwen understands that Chen Tianlang is worried, he glanced at Yu Qiushuang, and said to Chen Tianlang: "Mr. Chen, Mary is our own person, the content of the script is a company secret, she can know, and since I brought her here, I naturally understand the rules." ”
Chen Tianlang nodded, and then asked Tian Qiwen: "It's not that I can't trust Master Xing, but since I want to invest in your company's big drama, I think it's best to take a look at the script first." ”
Tian Qiwen smiled and took out the script that had been prepared early in the morning, handed it to Chen Tianlang and said: "This is the outline of the script, you can take a look, of course, I will also give you a brief introduction to the selling points of this play." ”
Next, Chen Tianlang began to read the script of "God of Food", and sure enough, it was no different from the "God of Food" in Chen Tianlang's impression in his previous life.
In his previous life, Stephen Chow's "God of Food" was about the god of food, Stephen, who made him ignore the taste of food, was betrayed by a rich partner, and was defeated by his apprentice Tang Niu, Tang Niu became the new god of food, and Stephen Zhou was reduced to the streets, but he got the help of the old girl "Turkey", reinvigorated and invented a new variety of food "Urine Cow Ball" with "Turkey", and accidentally broke into the kitchen of one of the 36 rooms of Shaolin Temple, learned a peerless cooking skill, and regained the position of God of Food.
Chen Tianlang looked at it again and again, and suddenly he saw the difference between the script and his previous life, there was no legendary "peeing cow ball", but instead it was "curry fish ball", so Chen Tianlang frowned slightly.
Tian Qiwen had been paying attention to Chen Tianlang's attitude, and when he saw him frowning, he asked, "What is Mr. Chen's dissatisfaction with?"
Chen Tianlang didn't hide it, pointed to the place of "curry fish balls" and said, "Can it be changed here?"
Tian Qiwen was stunned, "Very good, what to change?"
It turned out that Ider, the god of food, turned over with "curry fish balls", but Stephen Chow came up with it alone, and everyone knew that Xing Ye hated to modify his ideas indiscriminately, so Tian Qiwen immediately became careful.
The female lawyer next to her, Yu Qiushuang, also looked at Chen Tianlang, and didn't understand why the mainland boss said that he wanted to change the script as soon as he came up, which was a taboo for investors. Don't think that Stephen Chow really can't attract investment, as long as he is willing to put down his face, pull down his face, and there are more big bosses who want to invest in his play, where will he do anything to "negotiate" with mainlanders like Chen Tianlang.
Chen Tianlang didn't think about it so much, he said according to his memory of this play in his previous life, "You can change this 'curry fish ball' to 'peeing cow ball', by the way, the double-knife turkey sticks out his tongue in the play and swipes double knives to cook this peeing cow ball...... Also, you can make this peeing cow ball a little gimmicky, such as can't help but bite and squirt juice, and you can also play table tennis with elasticity. ”
Then, Chen Tianlang talked in detail about the part of the "God of Food" in his memory about peeing cow pills.
At first, Tian Qiwen listened casually, thinking that Chen Tianlang, like many mainland businessmen, didn't know how to pretend to understand and was talking nonsense, but the more he listened to him, the more surprised he became, and finally opened his mouth wide.
Yu Qiushuang doesn't know much about film creation, but after listening to Chen Tianlang's creativity, her first feeling is that the "Peeing Cow Ball" with a very vulgar name is indeed more vivid than "Curry Fish Ball", and it is more story-rich.
"Well, I'm sorry, did I say too much?" Chen Tianlang finished saying what he wanted to say in his heart, only to find that Tian Qiwen was looking at him with a stunned expression.
"Oh, no. That one...... Your idea is good, but I need to discuss it with Xingye, you know...... He was very demanding on the script. ”
"This is understandable, strict requirements can produce good works. Chen Tianlang smiled and said, "I don't have any suggestions other than this, so let's take a look at the treaty of cooperation between us." ”
"Yes, Mary is in charge of this. Tian Qiwen said.
Chen Tianlang then looked at Yu Qiushuang and asked, "In this case, I want to listen to your opinion and the responsibilities and obligations we need to bear for each other in this contract." ”
Yu Qiushuang sat up straight, folded her hands on her lower abdomen, and when she heard Chen Tianlang ask herself, she spoke unhurriedly: "Hello, Mr. Chen, you can call me Mary like Boss Tian." In this case, with regard to your investment of 6 million in the drama "God of Food" by Xinghui Company, from a legal point of view, you are participating in the production of this film as an investor, so you must not interfere with any decision-making of this drama during the filming and production......"
To say that this alone is very domineering, no wonder no one is willing to cooperate with Stephen Chow, he paid for it, but he didn't have the right to speak.
"Also, after the film is completed, Xinghui will choose the correct time to release the film, and as an investor, it is not allowed to rush or decide the release date without authorization. ”
This is also difficult to accept, you must know that investing in filming is to make money, your movie is filmed, but it has not been released for a long time, and I can't speak, who wants to.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Qiushuang said very rigorously about the responsibilities and obligations of both parties.
Of course, Chen Tianlang has a lot of responsibilities, and he uses Chen Tianlang as a fool very domineeringly.
However, Chen Tianlang is not really a fool, he knows all about these regulations, how to do it. However, on the surface, Chen Tianlang still made a look of accepting everything, looking like a mainland Kaizi.
Seeing Chen Tianlang nodding slightly, Yu Qiushuang paused appropriately, and waited for Chen Tianlang's eyes to look at him again before continuing: "So if both parties have no other opinions, you can sign an investment letter of intent today." ”
Chen Tianlang slapped his palms lightly twice, and said appreciatively to Qiushuang: "Lawyer Mary said very well, it seems that Mr. Zhou did not choose the wrong person to recommend you to serve as the legal counsel of Xinghui Company." ”
Yu Qiushuang smiled, as if she had a bamboo in her chest, and it was also a pride to be able to take advantage of her owner. It's just a pity that the mainland boss in front of him is too weak.
"By the way, Mary, if I sign the 'Letter of Intent' now, do I have to intervene in the production of this drama anymore, and just hide behind the scenes? Also, do I want to immediately transfer the first investment money to the account of Xinghui Company?" Chen Tianlang put his hands together and propped them up in front of his face, so that Yu Qiushuang couldn't see Chen Tianlang's expression clearly.
Yu Qiushuang thought for a moment and said aloud: "According to Hong Kong legal procedures, this is true, but isn't it great that as an investor, you can happily make profits? ”
Chen Tianlang's eyes flashed with a faint appreciation, Stephen Chow was able to choose this woman to come over to discuss with him, not for no reason, but because this woman's mind is very good, especially at this moment, she also knows how to "comfort" herself, and tells herself with a hint in her heart that she only needs to take the money out, and don't do too much.
It is no wonder that the status of lawyers in Hong Kong is so high, and many Hong Kong TV dramas have also made Hong Kong lawyers very good. It is true that a lawyer is a helper, but he is helping the rich who pay them a salary.
Yu Qiushuang's impression of Chen Tianlang is not very high, even if it is not a soil bun from the mainland, it is estimated that it is not very tall. Is there any money? There should be some, and it is not a small amount to be able to invest 6 million, but there are more rich people in Hong Kong, and it is just a small shrimp here.
Thinking of this, Yu Qiushuang's expression was a little colder than just now, and she looked at Chen Tianlang and asked: "Mr. Chen, I have already told you about the responsibilities and obligations of mutual cooperation, as well as the entire process of investment, as for how to decide in the end, it depends on your choice." Of course, if I were you, I would definitely choose all the conditions, after all, the opportunity is rare. ”
Yu Qiushuang didn't want to spend it with a mainland bun, if the other party still wanted to offer any conditions, Yu Qiushuang decided to tell him immediately that Xinghui Company had other investors, and he didn't have to let him invest money. Of course, this is also to scare the other party, using this kind of psychological tactics, Yu Qiushuang is still very confident.
Tian Qiwen seemed to sense that Yu Qiushuang's words were too strong, frowned slightly, and looked at Chen Tianlang.
Chen Tianlang also looked at Tian Qiwen with a smile, and then looked at Yu Qiushuang, and then said: "I completely agree with your conditions, and I will never participate in the creation of this play, but there is one condition--- all the movies shot by Xinghui in the future, I, Chen Tianlang are the only investors!"
This sentence made Yu Qiushuang frown, a man in his twenties had a domineering tone in his tone? Is he really enough to have status and qualifications?
Tian Qiwen was also stunned, but he just felt that Chen Tianlang's condition was too unbelievable.
