Chapter 124: The General Manager of Longteng
Not long after, Tan Yonglin and Chen Baixiang finally arrived. When the door of the private room was opened, Chen Jie and Wang Jing hurriedly stood up.
"Aaron, you're here." Chen Jie stepped forward and gave Tan Yonglin a hug and said.
"Applejack kept you waiting. I'll introduce you to you," Tan Yonglin was interrupted by Chen Baixiang before he finished speaking
"Needless to say, I believe there are few people in Hong Kong who don't know Mr. Chan now. Of course, I'm no exception. And Mr. Chen would like to ask about the position of general manager of Longteng Pictures, I believe he has a certain understanding of me. ”
Tan Yonglin glanced at his friend a little helplessly. cast an apologetic look at Chen Jie.
After Chen Jie saw Tan Yonglin's gaze, he smiled and shook his head, indicating that it was okay. After that, he said to Chen Baixiang
"Call me Applejack, Mr. Chen looks raw and sounds weird."
"Then I'll call you Applejack, and you can just call me Bab. Everyone knows I'm a naggy person! Chen Baixiang said.
At this time, Wang Jing interjected and said, "Don't stand, sit down." We ate and talked. After speaking, he shouted to the waiter who was guarding the door of the private room, "Serve." ”
"Wang Fatty, why are you here too!" Chen Baixiang pretended to be surprised and said.
"Of course. You know, I'm a shareholder of Longteng Pictures! Wang Jing said.
"Originally, Ajie asked to be the general manager of Longteng Pictures, and I was very happy. But seeing that there is such an unreliable shareholder as you, I have to think about it. Chen Baixiang said.
After Wang Jing listened to Chen Baixiang's words, his originally proud face fell.
"Ah, how can you look at me like this when we are friends!" Wang Jing said
"Friends are friends, and I am still a little worried about the thought of cooperating with someone as unreliable as you!" Chen Baixiang said.
"Tell me where I'm unreliable."
"That's a lot, like last time we did"
Chen Jie and Tan Yonglin watched the mutual incident between Wang Jing and Chen Baixiang. The two glanced at each other, and both shook their heads helplessly.
After a while, when the waiter brought the food to them, the two finally stopped arguing.
"The dishes are all up, let's eat first. Let's talk about it after dinner. Chen Jie said.
After Wang Jing and Chen Baixiang heard Chen Jie say this, the two entered the link of grabbing food again. A meal is almost over. Chen Jie finally got to the point
"Ah, I think you have already understood the purpose of looking for you this time, I want to ask you to be the general manager of our Longteng Pictures, I don't know what you think?" Chen Jie asked.
"I want to know Applejack, why did you choose me to be this general manager?" Chen Baixiang asked.
"It's not all I recommended you to Applejack." Wang Jing said
"I need your recommendation!" Chen Baixiang said.
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Chen Jie hurriedly said, "Brother Xiang, let's talk about the important thing first." After speaking, he looked at Chen Baixiang and said
"This time it's really Brother Xiang who recommended you to me. He told me that you used to run a garment factory. I feel that you are very business-minded, and you have been in the entertainment industry for a few years, so you should be familiar with some of these things, and it is most suitable for you to be the general manager of Longteng Pictures. Chen Jie said.
When Wang Jing heard Chen Jie say this, he looked at Chen Baixiang with a smug face. It's a pity that Chen Baixiang has ignored him at all now.
"Can I hear what I would be treated if I were to be the general manager of Dragon Pictures?" Chen Baixiang said.
"If Ah Na becomes the general manager, I will give you 5% of the management shares of Longteng Pictures. In other words, 5% of the net income of Dragon Pictures every day belongs to you. As long as you are the general manager, this income will not change. Of course, if you give up your position as the general manager of Longteng Pictures, the shares will be withdrawn. Chen Jie said.
Chen Baixiang was very moved after hearing Chen Jie's conditions, not to mention anything else, the box office of the movie "Ip Man" has now exceeded 38 million Hong Kong dollars, and the attendance rate has remained at more than 50%. If it is released for another week, no one doubts that the box office of "Ip Man" will break through the 40 million mark. If "Ip Man" breaks through the 40 million mark, then Longteng Pictures will at least share more than 10 million. Even if Longteng Pictures only makes this step of the movie this year, the 5% dividend that Chen Jie gave him is hundreds of thousands. That's a lot more than my current income.
"Ah, Applejack has given you very good terms. No film company in Hong Kong can give this condition. Tan Yonglin was also shocked when he heard Chen Jie's treatment of Chen Baixiang, Tan Yonglin knew Chen Baixiang best, and he didn't want his friend to lose such a good opportunity. After coming back to his senses, he helped Chen Jie persuade.
"Ajie, aren't you afraid that I will bring down Dragon Pictures? You know, I was bankrupt! After a while, Chen Baixiang saw Chen Jie say.
"If you hadn't failed, I'd probably be worried. But now I'm not worried. Chen Jie said.
"Why?" The three of them looked at Chen Jie puzzled and said.
"People who have not tried and failed will never cherish the honor that success brings, and only those who have experienced failure will cherish the opportunity to succeed." Chen Jie said.
"Well, I read that right. Applejack, you're as much of a naggard as I am. Chen Baixiang said with some excitement.
"So, ah, you agree to be the general manager of our Dragon Pictures!" Chen Jie looked at Chen Baixiang and said.
"Of course, I can still disagree with everything you said about this!" Chen Baixiang said.
"In that case, I have something to declare first!" Chen Jie said.
"What's the matter?" Chen Baixiang asked.
"I'm not a nag!" Chen Jie said.
Chen Jie's words made Tan Yonglin and the three of them stunned. After that, Wang Jing and Tan Yonglin both laughed. Unexpectedly, Chen Jie made a joke about Chen Baixiang at this time. Chen Baixiang often says that he is a naggy person. It's not that he nags, although he does usually nag. The chatter here refers to the meaning of being smart, and Chen Baixiang said that he is praising himself for being extremely smart. At this moment, Chen Jie made a joke, and the depressed expression on Chen Baixiang's face was so funny that Wang Jing and Tan Yonglin couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, Applejack is a nagging person. But he didn't mean nagging. What I mean by "chatter" Tan Yonglin said with a smile.
"I see, I'm still thinking about how Ah Nag can say that he is nagging when he sees someone, and he still has a smug face." Chen Jie said.
Wang Jing and Tan Yonglin laughed louder when they heard Chen Jie say this seriously.
"Is it that funny!" Chen Baixiang said with a boasting face.
His expression made Wang Jing and Tan Yonglin laugh uncontrollably. Even Chen Jie was amused by his expression.
After a few people laughed, Chen Baixiang said to Chen Jie
"Applejack tell me about Longteng Pictures, since I have decided to be the general manager of Longteng Pictures, I have to grasp all the situation of Longteng Pictures."
Chen Jie nodded and began to introduce some information about Longteng Pictures to Chen Baixiang.
"Our Longteng Pictures has a registered capital of 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and now we have successfully shot two movies, one is "Ip Man", which is currently being released. One is "Brave Double Cannon", which has just finished filming and is in post-production. The two films probably cost more than 4 million Hong Kong dollars. Tomorrow, "Mr. Zombie", which we Longteng Pictures and Baohe jointly created, will start. In this movie, we Longteng invested another 3 million Hong Kong dollars into it. In addition, we ordered three of Japan's latest cameras and some shooting equipment, which cost about 1 million Hong Kong dollars. In the end, a small-budget movie will be filmed, and the investment has been changed to about 1 million. Chen Jie said and paused here. Picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip of wine.
Wang Jing and Chen Baixiang stared at each other when they heard it! According to what Chen Jie said, isn't there basically no money on Longteng Pictures' books now!
