Chapter 147: Zheng Fei Xingwei
Although the Shaw Brothers films have been in the twilight of the day, and now they are relying on Wang Zheng's several new films to maintain their reputation, the film library of more than 700 films and the more than 180 cinemas operated by the Shaw Brothers for many years, as well as the Shaw Brothers Cinemas in Clear Water Bay, are all visible wealth.
So when Shao Tycoon proposed to exchange 20% of Shaw Brothers' equity for five films with a box office of 20 million, Wang Zheng agreed without hesitation.
In the 80s, all independent film companies were attached to Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, Siyuan, and these film companies with their own distribution, such as Weihe and Boxing established by Cheng Long, Baohe and Baoxiang established by Hong Jinbao, Concord established by Bruce Lee, and Heping Film Company established by Yuan Heping, etc., are all attached to Golden Harvest, while the Golden Princess attached to Xinyicheng and the film studio established by Xu Ke are attached to Xinyicheng, which undoubtedly reduces a lot of costs.
During the period from the 60s to the 70s, the Shaw Brothers film dominated the 60s and 70s, and never cooperated with other film companies, and it was also self-paying until the 80s, but the film production of the factory assembly line was no longer suitable for the colorful 80s, if it were not for the emergence of Wang Zheng, the Shaw Brothers would have withdrawn from the stage of history in 85.
It can be said that Wang Zheng saved the Shaw Brothers in his twilight years with the strength of one person, so Shao Tycoon will not hesitate to take out 20% of the equity to keep it, and promised him to establish his own film company, although it is a subsidiary of the Shaw Brothers, but Wang Zheng has also had a foothold in Xiangjiang since then.
After initially discussing the matters of the subsidiary with Shao Daheng, Wang Zheng left Qingshui Tea House with a satisfied smile.
In the next few days, Wang Zheng has been thinking about the construction and development route of independent film companies, but no matter what type of company it is, it is not just open to say that it can be opened, a company is formed by many departments, and it is professionals in all aspects who maintain the normal operation of many departments, and Wang Zheng does not have the accumulation of contacts in this area now.
Fortunately, Shaw Brothers will soon begin to drastically reduce the production of films, and then there will be a complete layoff, even if TVB can accept a part, the remaining professionals, Wang Zheng can also select a group of elites from them to supplement the new company, but before the company is formed, the company name must be good, for this reason Wang Zheng specially invited Zhou Xingchi, Liang Chaowei, Da Fei, the three first good friends, to have dinner together at Xu Ji Tea Restaurant, and the companions are also related to the forest.
Since the substantive relationship that night, the relationship between Guan Zhilin and Wang Zheng has become very close, often going out to go shopping and watching movies together, allowing the paparazzi to secretly shoot behind, but they have not admitted their relationship with each other in front of the media.
"Zheng, I'm going to get my hair curly, do you think it's good?"
In the Dunhou Building, Guan Zhilin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, dragging his long hair in a shawl and asking Wang Zheng beside him.
Wang Zheng walked to the mirror, looked at Guan Zhilin's tall figure and handsome face in the mirror, and chuckled: "You are so good-looking, you can match any hairstyle, but don't you think that curling your hair like that is very much like being struck by lightning?"
Guan Zhilin was originally happy for Wang Zheng's sweet words in the first half of the sentence, but after listening to the second half of the sentence, his smiling face immediately became bitter, and he pinched the tender meat on Wang Zheng's waist and said angrily: "I actually said that it is like something, now many teachers in Xiangjiang have slightly curly hairstyles, if they knew that your Director Wang Da said such a thing, they would not tear you up." ”
Wang Zheng hurriedly begged for mercy: "Just kidding, Xingzi and they should be almost there, we have to hurry up now, don't make them wait for a long time." ”
Guan Zhilin let go of the orchid finger with a triumphant smile and drove to the Xu Ji Tea Restaurant on the radio track together.
There was nothing to say all the way, and when the two came to the tea restaurant, Da Fei, Zhou Xingchi, and Liang Chaowei had already arrived, and the three of them were arguing about something.
Wang Zheng took Guan Zhilin to greet Xu Jian, who was making calculations on the counter, and greeted the three of them: "Why is it so lively, what are you talking about?"
Guan Zhilin also had an interested expression on his face, and looked at the three of them curiously with big eyes.
Seeing the two of them coming, the three of them stopped arguing, and Zhou Xingchi first said: "Ah Zheng, you came just in time, quickly give Fei Ge an idea." ”
After Zhou Xingchi's retribution, Wang Zheng understood why the three of them were arguing.
It turned out that Tang Zhenye was in Wang Tianlin's "Decisive Battle Xuanwumen", after having his first cooperation with Weng Meiling, he began to pursue Weng Meiling frantically, Tang Zhenye was originally sunny and handsome, plus he sent beautiful soup and sweet words every day, which coaxed Weng Meiling very happily, and the relationship became closer and closer.
After the filming of "The True Color of Heroes", Da Fei rushed to the set of the new wireless drama "Chu Liuxiang: The Legend of the Bat" starring Weng Meiling non-stop, who knew that he met Tang Zhenye, who also came to visit the class, Da Fei was a little jealous when he first met his rival in love, coupled with Tang Zhenye's deliberate provocation, Da Fei's temper was unbearable, and the two fought for it.
Although Tang Zhenye has starred in martial arts dramas for a long time and has a certain kung fu foundation, where is Da Fei's opponent who has been fighting in the club since he was a child, and after a few rounds, Tang Zhenye was beaten by Da Fei and his nose was swollen.
Although the fight was won, women were often sympathetic to the weak, coupled with Da Fei's reckless behavior, which made Weng Meiling very disappointed, and finally scolded Da Fei and then accompanied Tang Zhenye to the hospital, and from that day on, he no longer paid attention to Da Fei, and even did not answer his calls.
Fortunately, the two fought on the set of Shaw Brothers, so they didn't let the paparazzi know, and if the news got out, the paparazzi would not have to make up a hundred versions of the story.
Although Da Fei didn't care about the media reports, Weng Meiling's indifference now made him very annoyed and helpless, he had no experience in relationships, so he used Wang Zheng to ask Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei when they asked a few of them.
Wang Zheng was very surprised after hearing this, he didn't expect that he had spent a lot of thought, Weng Meiling couldn't escape Tang Zhenye's pursuit, whether it was for Dafei's happiness or Weng Meiling's life, he couldn't sit back and watch Weng Meiling and Tang Zhenye come together.
Wang Zheng gently tapped on the table top, pondered for a moment and asked Xiang Dafei: "Brother Fei, last time I asked you if you liked Ah Weng, and the answer you gave me was yes, now I will ask you again, do you really like Ah Weng?"
Regarding Wang Zheng's questioning, Da Fei did not hesitate, and replied with a serious face: "When you asked me to contact Ah Weng earlier, I may still have the mentality of giving it a try at that time, but after this period of contact, I found that I really liked Ah Weng. ”
Wang Zheng nodded and continued to ask, "Then after this period of contact, do you think Ah Weng also likes you?"
Da Fei, who had just been serious, became twisted, and said with a bitter face: "I don't know, before this happened, our relationship was still very good, but now ......"
To his answer, Wang Zheng was a little speechless, waved his hand and said: "Okay, wait for me to plan, let you give Ah Weng a romantic confession, but let's talk about it, if it doesn't work, Brother Fei, you don't have to be sad, but if it happens, you must treat Ah Weng well from now on, if you change your mind one day, I will be the first to let you go." ”
Da Fei immediately smiled and promised: "Okay, if it can be done, I will definitely treat Ah Weng well." ”
Guan Zhilin, who had been listening for a long time, said with a happy face: "Oh, I want to participate in such a romantic thing." ”
Wang Zheng smiled and nodded in agreement, and said to Zhou Xingchi and Tony Leung: "Originally, I asked you to come out today to ask you to help my film company come up with a name, but now I can only decide quickly." ”
Wang Zheng changed his serious expression and said: "After the three of you shoot three movies for the company for free, one of you will get 10% of the company's equity, because I am the owner of this film company, and the three of you are already in the old rank, so this company is called "Zheng Fei Xingwei" Film Co., Ltd. ”
After Wang Zheng finished speaking quickly, Zhou Xingchi and the others were stunned, and it took a long time for Liang Chaowei to say, "Isn't it too hasty?" ”
Wang Zheng smiled and asked, "Are you sloppy?" or are you unwilling?"
Zhou Xingchi laughed: "Of course I am willing, I will shoot three movies directed by Ah Zheng without pay, not to mention that I can get ten percent of the equity." ”
Wang Zheng chuckled: "Then it's preliminarily decided, wait for me to come back from the mainland to discuss specific matters, and now I will plan Feige's romantic courtship first." ”
