Chapter 63 Joint Ventures
Zheng Shaoqiu co-produced "The Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain" with Lin Qingxia before, and now filming "Midnight Orchid" Lin Qingxia is also the heroine of this movie, no wonder Zheng Shaoqiu recommended Lin Qingxia to Han Ziguang, and Zhao Yuzhi is an old friend with him, and both of them are his good friends.
"I'll think about it." Han Ziguang nodded and said with a smile: "Lin Qingxia's popularity on Treasure Island is indeed incomparable. ”
Han Ziguang knows that the popularity of stars actually has no direct effect on the quality of the movie, but it can attract the attention of some people, and whether it can sell well in the end depends on the quality of the movie itself, for example, Zheng Shaoqiu's "Midnight Orchid" relied on Chu Liuxiang's super IP, but it still only got more than NT$4 million, and at the same time, Gu Long's investment was also wasted and he lost a lot of money.
At present, the film industry of Baodao has come to an end, but the TV industry is rising rapidly, and Han Ziguang values the box office contribution of Baodao, mainly to make money from other cities, after all, this idea can be made in Xiangjiang Films as long as it can return to its original cost, then it will be profitable, but Xiangjiang Films' dependence on Baodao, Nanyang and Japan at this time is still very strong, which is why Xiangjiang Films can prosper for a while.
"Hello Mr. Han!" Hong Jingbao came to Han Ziguang with a glass of wine, and said with a slight smile: "I've always heard of Mr. Han's name, but I didn't have the chance to see it, but Mr. Han is very powerful!" Silently poached my two generals, Zhengying is an indispensable talent in my Hong family class! ”
"Brother Sanmao! It's a joke! Han Ziguang smiled, he wouldn't admit it, and said lightly: "Brother Sanmao's Hong family class is full of talents, and my light and shadow entertainment has just been established, and it needs talents like Lin Zhengying, and Lin Zhengying is not much used in the Hong family class, isn't it?" ”
"Mr. Han is right!" Hong Jingbao looked at Lin Zhengying and Liu Guanwei at a table next to him, and he was helpless in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "There are more and more of my brothers, and it is impossible to estimate everyone, Zhengying is a capable person, I knew it before." ”
Hong Jingbao actually values Lin Zhengying very much, and basically Lin Zhengying will be involved in the movie if he has the opportunity, for example, this time in "Five Lucky Stars", Lin Zhengying is playing soy sauce in it, of course, the most important thing is to design martial arts actions.
To be honest, Hong Jingbao really doesn't care about Han Ziguang wanting to hold Lin Zhengying as the protagonist, the reason is that Lin Zhengying is really not suitable for playing the protagonist, the protagonist at this time is either handsome, frustrated, or funny, and Lin Zhengying is too upright, and there is a big gap with the current movie, so it is difficult to really become the protagonist, and it is even more impossible to support a film, in his opinion, Han Ziguang is completely making a loss-making business.
"Brother Sanmao is also very capable, isn't he?" Han Ziguang smiled and said: "If Brother Sanmao is willing, we can also cooperate, after all, everyone can earn money together, and cooperation can be a win-win situation, I think we can create a better future." ”
"Cooperation?" Hong Jingbao didn't expect Han Ziguang to say this, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "I heard that the second movie of Light and Shadow Entertainment Company, "Happy Ghost", will be released in the summer, and our Golden Harvest's "Five Lucky Stars" will also be released in the summer, and it will inevitably be a battle at that time!" ”
"Brother Sanmao laughed! Our "Happy Ghost" is just a small investment, and it is not comparable to your "Clever Trick Five Lucky Stars" at all. Han Ziguang smiled slightly, of course, his expression did not mean a little fear, after all, he was still very confident in "Happy Ghost", especially now that the publicity had begun to spread, he said with a smile: "Please also ask Brother Sanmao to show mercy to his subordinates at that time, don't beat us too badly." ”
In the previous life, "Happy Ghost" had no chance to fight with "Five Lucky Stars", and in this year's summer file, Xinyicheng did not launch any too strong movies, which can be said to be the battle between Golden Harvest and Light and Shadow Entertainment.
"Happy Ghost" won more than 17 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office without much investment and publicity in the previous life, relying on word-of-mouth, and "Five Lucky Stars" is also a movie that won 21 million box office, so the two parties do have the power to fight.
This time, Han Ziguang has magazines and newspapers as publicity, and although "Happy Ghost" is used by newcomers, basically only the protagonist of Zhou Xingchi and his supporting role are somewhat famous, so only Gao Zhisen, who is a director, is more famous.
"Happy Ghost" is congenitally deficient in a certain aspect, compared to the lineup of "Five Lucky Stars", it is really far from the same, but the funds invested by the two sides cannot be compared, so Hong Jingbao is still very confident in this regard.
"Mr. Han is humble." Although Hong Jingbao was very sure in his heart, he was very humble on the surface, and couldn't help laughing: "The previous "Night. To be honest, everyone is not very optimistic, and no one expected to achieve such proud results. ”
"Really?" Han Ziguang couldn't help but smile and said, "I didn't expect it either." ”
"Mr. Han is really good at laughing." Hong Jingbao glanced at Han Ziguang, and said with a change of eye: "Mr. Han, I think we can cooperate to open a company, and in the future, the movies made by the new company can be released in your light theater line, how about it?" ”
Although Hong Jingbao is a person from Jiahe at this time, he actually has a lot of dissatisfaction with Jiahe, because because of the movies made by his company Baohe, the money is basically earned by Jiahe, but he himself does not make much money, so his heart will naturally not be balanced.
"Oh!? If I could, I wouldn't say no. Han Ziguang's eyes lit up, and he felt that Hong Jingbao wanted to step on two boats, if he could win Hong Jingbao to his side, it would definitely be like a tiger with wings, and said with a smile: "I don't know how Brother Sanmao wants to distribute the shares?" ”
"We can divide it fifty-fifty, each person contributes 5 million Hong Kong dollars, and the registered capital reaches 10 million Hong Kong dollars, how about each person accounting for 50 percent?" Hong Jingbao couldn't help but be excited when he heard Han Ziguang's move, and lowered his voice and said: "You publish the script, I will produce the script, of course I will come up with a good script, after all, we are seeking wealth together, and we can get Jiahe and Light and Shadow to release it when the time comes, what do you say?" ”
"Brother Sanmao is really thoughtful!" Han Ziguang smiled slightly, in fact, this matter is a good thing for him no matter how he looks at it, and with the support of Hong Jingbao, the big brother of the movie, maybe it can make the light theater line even stronger, and said with a smile: "I naturally have no problem." ”
Han Ziguang and Hong Jingbao are using each other, Hong Jingbao wants to find another way out and step on two boats, while Han Ziguang wants to borrow Hong Jingbao's name and make a name for himself in the film industry.
