After writing a check for 500,000 Hong Kong dollars to Wang Jing, Chen Lang called Fang Yihua and prepared to solve the contract problem of Huang Jiaxi and six others.

"Aunt Fang? I'm Lang Lang. Chen Lang said with a smile.

"Why did you think of calling me, you stinky boy?" Fang Yihua reacted coldly and replied angrily.

"It's not like we've seen each other in a long time, so I'm here to say hello." Chen Lang hurriedly said obediently.

"Hmph, you kid can be so kind? It's better to have something to say, or I'll hang up the phone. Fang Yihua didn't appreciate it at all.

"I really remember one thing." Chen Lang smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and continued, "There are six people in Shaw Brothers whose contracts are about to expire, and they want to join my LL Film Company, see if you can terminate their contracts now and restore their freedom." ”

"Which six?" Fang Yihua sat up straight directly when he heard this.

Although he had reached an agreement with Chen Lang a long time ago and did not prevent Chen Lang from poaching people from the Shaw Brothers, the fact that there were six people at once still made Fang Yihua a little sensitive.

Shaw Brothers is indeed reducing production, but it can't be that there are no artists all of a sudden, so it's better to close down directly, and as a former film kingdom, Shaw Brothers must have a decent ending even if it closes.

Having just experienced the fiasco of "Interstellar Blunt Tire", and at the same time the TV business is growing faster than TVB, and it is more stable and safe, Shaw has decided to devote most of his energy to TVB, and Shaw Brothers Film Company continues to reduce production.

But after all, it is his own painstaking creation, and maybe there is some nostalgia, I believe that Run Run Shaw will not want Shaw Brothers to collapse all of a sudden, and as Run Run Shaw's pillow person, Fang Yihua obviously thought through Shaw's thoughts.

Therefore, although Fang Yihua also wants Shaw Brothers to close his business quickly, in order to take care of Shaw's perception, he can only proceed slowly now, until Shaw is completely desperate and even has some last thoughts, Fang Yihua will completely close Shaw Brothers.

Fang Yihua is a woman who is ruthless, she doesn't care about wireless at all, and she complains about wireless, but she is also a smart woman who knows that everything comes from Shao Tycoon.

Therefore, if you try your best to please Shao Tycoon and do a good job as a confidant, your position will be more stable.

"Producer Huang Jiaxi, assistant directors Leung Shengquan and Miao Jiande, cinematographer Li Xinye, and Cheng Jinrong and Su Zhenhou with soundtrack." Chen Lang replied.

Fang Yihua felt relaxed when he heard these six names, because except for Huang Jiaxi and Liang Shengquan, the other four people didn't know about their existence at all, even Huang Jiaxi and Liang Shengquan were not the core figures of the Shaw Brothers, so these six people were definitely just marginal figures of the Shaw Brothers.

As long as he didn't poach the six core big names at once, Fang Yihua would not feel any difficulty, but even so, Fang Yihua would not easily agree.

"I've heard of all six of them, they are all rare film talents, and our Shaw Brothers is ready to renew their long-term contracts with them." Fang Yihua said as if he had something to do.

Chen Lang really wanted to run to Fang Yihua and spit on her face when he heard this, it is difficult to say whether these six people Fang Yihua has an impression or not, even if these six people filmed the two blockbuster works "Flower Heart" and "Happy Ghost", they will not let everyone know them.

Because the current development of the Hong Kong film industry is very uneven, a movie is a big hit, and it is often only the actors, actresses and film directors who become popular, and it is difficult for other behind-the-scenes personnel to become famous with one or two movies, unless your movie has been selling well, but there are almost no people who do it.

Compared with the fame of actors and directors, the road to fame of the people behind the scenes is undoubtedly countless times, even if it is a screenwriter.

This is also related to the current Hong Kong film market, although Hong Kong films have been developing for nearly half a century, the audience's appreciation level has not improved much, of course, this is the case in many countries, and the audience often pays attention to movie special effects, wonderful fight scenes and superstars.

Now Hong Kong movies basically have no special effects, and old-fashioned martial arts films have also declined, so everyone can't help but see if the movie star is a big star they are familiar with.

For this reason, the so-called "Double Monday Success" appeared, as long as it is a movie starring these three actors, even if it is a lump of rice fields, there will be many audiences who go into the cinema to watch, and the box office is often higher.

In addition to the movie-watching choices of Hong Kong audiences, there are also foreign investors who provide more than 70% of the funds for Hong Kong film shooting.

They often sign a check and hand it over to the Hong Kong film company after knowing that there are some big stars in the movie that are well known to the audience, and the others don't even ask, even if they are deceived by many leather bag film companies.

Later, when the Four Heavenly Kings swept across Asia, Taiwanese film companies shouted, as long as Andy Lau starred, I would be willing to pay 20 million, and the rest will be said separately.

Although I don't know if this is true or not, it can be seen that the attraction of big-name stars to investors and audiences is huge, after all, it must be because of star movies to make money, so investors will shout like this.

In Hong Kong, the director-centered system is implemented, and a film director has a great right to speak, so the director of the film is often the focus of everyone's eyes, and the audience thinks that the director has made a good movie, and will look forward to his next film.

Film companies and investors naturally hope that directors can continue to work hard and continue to make money for their investments.

Therefore, a big-selling movie in Hong Kong now often becomes famous as actors and directors, and as for others, unless there is a breaking point, they can only stand aside and continue their obscurity.

"Aunt Fang, haven't we all negotiated, I persuaded them to join the company, you can't obstruct them, and these six people have been idle for nearly half a year, they are obviously marginal figures of the Shaw Brothers, not that important, aren't they?" Chen Lang suppressed his anger and said.

"Just because they don't have a task doesn't mean they aren't important, everyone at Shaw Brothers is an experienced filmmaker, and it's definitely a valuable asset to other film companies, especially a newly established company like LL Films, so how can they become marginal figures?" Fang Yihua still didn't let go.

Chen Lang was a little angry when he heard this, this woman really went back on her word, although she knew that this alliance was fragile, but she regretted it in less than two months, it was too shameless.

"Then Aunt Fang, how can you agree?" Chen Lang exhaled deeply to suppress the anger in his heart, and chewed the words heavily.

"Okay, don't tease you, little guy, I can restore their free body now, but you have to write another song for Huaxing's Leslie Cheung Rongzai, this condition is not difficult, right?" Fang Yihua heard Chen Lang's tone and knew that Chen Lang must be uncomfortable.

While secretly sighing that the little guy is immature, he also knows that although the alliance between the two is fragile, it is beneficial for both parties, so it is no longer difficult for Chen Lang.

Chen Lang heard that the anger in his heart disappeared a lot, and it was naturally easy to write songs for Leslie Cheung, but he had to pretend.

"Aunt Fang, you have been a singer, you should also know how difficult it is to write a classic song, this is not a cabbage, I can promise, but I don't guarantee when it will be delivered."

"Rong Zai's record release is expected to be a month after you release the record, that is, in May, if this deadline is passed, then there is no need to talk about it, if someone goes back on his word, then there is no need for this covenant to exist." Fang Yihua said resolutely, obviously not wanting to give up this opportunity to squeeze Chen Lang.

"It should be possible in May, but I want the six of them to be able to officially sign with my film company in the afternoon." Chen Lang agreed when he heard this.

"Yes, they belong to LL Films this afternoon." Fang Yihua nodded with satisfaction.

"By the way, Aunt Fang, what is Shaw Brothers' filming plan this year? Can you reveal that? Chen Lang asked suddenly.

Fang Yihua hesitated for a while when he heard this, and then said, "It's nothing to tell you kid, Shaw Brothers will speed up the production reduction, and this year's filming plan is only about 20 films." ”

Chen Lang felt a little complicated when he heard this, he was both happy and a little emotional, happy that judging from the current situation, Shaw Brothers will sell its Shaw Brothers cinemas next year just like in his previous life, and there is only one year left for LL Films to gain a foundation for development.

What is emotional is that one of the three major overlords of the film industry will end next year, and the Hong Kong film industry will usher in another film overlord next year, forming a three-legged situation again.

It's just that I don't know if this new overlord will be like in his previous life, or the Debao Film Company composed of the famous brand king Pan Disheng and the big brother Sammo Hung, or Chen Lang's own LL Film Company.

"Aunt Fang, let me ask one more question, I wonder if Uncle Sixth has any intention of selling Shaw Brothers Cinemas now?" Chen Lang asked as he suppressed his pounding heart.

Fang Yihua frowned when he heard this, selling Shaw Brothers Cinemas was Fang Yihua's last trick to kill Shao Tycoon's movie thoughts, and it was also the last straw that crushed the cow, but Fang Yihua hadn't proposed it at this time, and Shao Tycoon didn't seem to have this intention.

However, looking at the profitability of several movies made by Shaw Brothers now, as long as it takes a few more months, Fang Yihua will have enough reasons to propose to sell Shaw Brothers Cinemas, but in order to avoid Shao Tycoon's disgust, Fang Yihua feels that it is better to take it step by step.

"At present, the Shaw Brothers have no such plans, why do you kid think so?" Fang Yihua asked quietly.

"Shaw Brothers Film Company has been operating at a loss in the past few years, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that Shaw Brothers is no longer good, although the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, but the Shaw Brothers must have closed down one day, and it must be in the past two years.

At the same time, the current wireless development is extremely rapid,More and more profits,Since Uncle Six became the largest shareholder of Wireless and served as the chairman of the board of directors,Everyone knows that Uncle Six's focus has begun to shift to the TV business。

Then the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line has obviously become a chicken rib for Uncle Six, so selling is the only best choice, but it is just a matter of time, so I will ask so. Chen Lang replied.

In fact, there have been such rumors in the outside world, especially in the film industry, but after all, Shaw Brothers is a former film kingdom, Shao Tycoon also has a big family, and the Shaw Brothers has been operating at a loss for two years, and Shao Tycoon is obviously okay if he is willing to delay it for a few more years.

Therefore, although everyone knows that the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line will definitely be sold, because this is the best choice for Shao Tycoon, but no one can be sure of the specific time except Shao Tycoon.

"It seems that your kid's goal has always been Shaw Brothers Cinemas and Shaw Brothers' film talents, I really didn't expect you to be a kid with a lot of ambitions." Fang Yihua shook his head and said.

"I just like movies, and if I want to make movies as I want and make some money by the way, it's obviously not possible to do without theaters." Chen Lang said with a grin.

"But it's not a small amount of money to buy Shaw Brothers Cinemas, do you have so much money?" Fang Yihua was a little puzzled.

Although Chen Lang wears many hats and has a good ability to make money, it has only been three and a half years since Chen Lang made his debut, how much money can Chen Lang make in these three and a half years?

"Hehe, this doesn't worry about Aunt Fang, I will naturally take out this money when the time comes, but Aunt Fang, you have to help me then." Chen Lang smiled but did not answer.

Could it be that this kid really has so much money, Fang Yihua was puzzled for a while, but he was not slow, "It's okay to help you, but you have to use our wireless stars to make films in the future." ”

Chen Lang was happy when he heard this, it seems that the Shaw Brothers really have a plan to sell, otherwise Fang Yihua would not have said this, "Of course there is no problem." ”

"Count you as a kid." Fang Yihua hung up the phone after speaking.
