"Let's talk about the next question. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Upon hearing Xu Cun's words, Xi Xiangquan stood up and said, "Mr. Xu, as of April 24, they have a total of more than 250 Taiwan-funded Hong Kong films that have not been delivered on time, and we ask them to complete them as soon as possible. β
A group of filmmakers in Hong Kong have also discussed this issue in private, and finally reached a consensus - this is indeed a problem on their side.
Therefore -
The people on the Xiangjiang side looked at each other, and finally Xiang Huasheng was the first to stand up and said: "Among the Taiwanese-funded Hong Kong films in which our Chinese stars participated, there are still five films that have not been delivered on time, and I will urge these five films to be completed as soon as possible. β
Huang Baiming then got up and said: "There are seven Taiwanese-funded Hong Kong films in our New Art City that have not been delivered on time, and we will also urge these seven films to be completed as soon as possible, and we will also give some compensation for the losses caused to the investors in Taiwan Bend." β
Chen Rongmei also got up and said: "There are four parts of Xinbao, and I guarantee that these four parts will be delivered on schedule within two months, and I will also give some compensation." β
ββ¦β¦β
In the end, even Wang Jiawei stood up and said, "That...... I will finish filming "East Evil and West Poison" as soon as possible, and as for the loss caused to Mr. Cai, I am willing to give up two more points of the box office to Mr. Cai as compensation for Zedong's delay in delivery. β
The people on the side of Xiangjiang stood up one after another to express their attitudes, which undoubtedly eased the atmosphere on both sides!
Subsequently, a number of filmmakers in Taiwan also expressed their positions:
Xu Anjin got up and said: "Since you have the sincerity to solve the problem, we are not unforgiving people, I, Xu Anjin, leave a sentence here, as long as your sincerity is true and reliable, I will never embarrass you!" β
Qiu Fusheng then got up and said: "What Lao Xu said is that we are here to solve the problem, not for no reason, so I also promise that the few films I have invested in will only ask for reasonable compensation, and will never open my mouth!" β
Cai Songlin got up, then looked at Wong Kar-wai and said, "One point, you can finish filming "East Evil and West Poison" as soon as possible." β
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing that both sides performed well on this issue, Xu Cun said: "Only when everyone is harmonious can they make money, okay...... In that case, I will also give you a week, and you will each negotiate a deadline that is mutually acceptable, and then form a written contract, whoever breaches the contract again, I will send my team of lawyers to unconditionally help punish the defaulting party, and I will also completely ban those filmmakers who have no integrity and only care about making money and cheating money. β
Xu Cun's words undoubtedly cut off the back road of the group of people who had just patted their chests and promised, so that these people could not talk about one thing and one thing behind their backs, and then solve this problem comprehensively.
Xu Cun said again: "Let's talk about the last question, standardize the salary of celebrities." β
This time, Xu Guanwen was the first to stand up and said: "It is natural for artists to get paid for filming, the level of remuneration is determined by the market, no one has the right to lower the artist's salary, only the market has this right!" β
Roger got up and said: "You are not the only people who want to lower the salary of celebrities, we also have this will, but you only recognize stars and not movies, a star has more people, and the salary will naturally rise, and the higher and higher it is, therefore, this problem is on your side, not on our side, as long as you recognize movies and stars in the future, the star's salary will naturally drop." β
Xiang Huaqiang got up and said: "Lao Luo is right, if there were no big names, you would also buy our films, can we afford to spend a lot of money to find those big names to film?" β
A group of filmmakers in Taiwan looked at each other, and finally Yang Dengkui stood up and said: "If there is no big coffee in the film, it can't be sold in Taiwan at all, and now everyone is playing the commission division method, you are willing to take this risk, we have no opinion, anyway, we have to pay everyone a piece of compensation." β
As soon as Yang Dengkui's words came out, everyone was silent!
This is a dead knot - you know, dark horses rarely appear, under normal circumstances, without a big director, big coffee movies, there is no box office appeal, and if you want to hire big directors, big coffee, you have to spend a lot of money, in this way, the value of big directors and big coffee will naturally rise wildly.
At this time, everyone looked at Xu Cun, hoping that Xu Cun could come forward to solve this problem.
After glancing around, Xu Cuncai said: "The star's salary can't be suppressed, a certain star, let's set him a salary of two million, will he really be honest and obedient?" You really invited according to the standard of 5 million, but another company offered 6 million, who do you say he would promise to act for? β
After a pause, Xu Cun continued: "I don't have thirty or fifty million, and I want to gather big coffee, I can only get a movie that copes with things, so if you want to play a big production, just invest more money, this is nothing to say, if you don't want to invest more money, then honestly find one or two big coffee to support the faΓ§ade, match more cheap newcomers, and then put a little more effort into the movie, you can also have a good harvest, and once there are more people who invest in this way, there will be fewer people looking for big coffee, and the value of many so-called big coffee will naturally drop. As for those big names whose value does not fall but rises and continues to make appointments, that is people's ability, and people are worth that price, and no one is qualified to suppress their value. β
Xu Cun's words made the filmmakers in Taiwan speechless to refute.
In the end, they can only reluctantly accept this result that is not the result - after all, forcibly lowering the salary of celebrities is really extremely unrealistic, and there is no point in dwelling on it.
At the same time, there are also some people who are reflecting, "If you invest 20 million, you have to make that kind of big bad movie with big names, and you have to lose money if you designate it, so it's better to try to invest in a movie that Xu Cun said to find one or two big names to support the faΓ§ade, maybe there will be unexpected gains......"
Supposedly, this is the end of the matter.
But-
Xu Cun considered that when changing the way of buying films from Taiwanbend to the commission division, the filmmakers in Xiangjiang suffered a big loss, and no one stood up to refute themselves, and they all respected at least superficially respecting their own practices, Xu Cun said: "In view of changing the way of buying films to the commission division, we may lack the necessary start-up funds on our side of Xiangjiang, so I personally set up a 'film exhibition support fund' with one billion Hong Kong dollars, which is specifically used to provide financial support to film companies, directors and crews that cooperate with Taiwan." β
The owner of this 'Film Exhibition Support Fund' is still Xu Cun, and Xu Cun just took out some money to lend these Xiangjiang Film Companies as start-up capital, and will also charge some fees appropriately, to put it bluntly, this is also an investment - an investment with a small rate of return.
But-
Although this is also a business, it can solve the great difficulties of film companies, directors, and crews who have no money to make films.
Therefore, seeing that Xu Cun took out another billion to support them to cooperate with Taiwan bend film companies, some people who had just slandered Xu Cun all stopped slandering, and instead believed that it was right for Xu Cun to find Xu Cun to host justice, Xu Cun did have the responsibility of the first person in the film industry and was the savior of Hong Kong films.
