Ye Jingcheng didn't go too deep into Wang Jing to dig up Zhou Yanfa's matter, because this question didn't have much practical significance, and the purpose of his coming here this time was not to deal with this matter. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After chatting a few words, Ye Jingcheng changed the topic and said, "How have you been mixing in Shaw Brothers recently?" ”

"What else?" Wang Jing shrugged her shoulders and replied indifferently: "It's still the same." ””

"Really? I've heard that Shaw has cut a lot of staff lately? Ye Jingcheng asked again.

"Shaw Brothers is reducing the production of films now, naturally there is no need for so many people, even if the company does not fire them, those people will choose to find another way out by themselves."

This matter is not a secret, Wang Jing knows that even if he doesn't say it, Ye Jingcheng must know. Ye Jingcheng asked so much more than to introduce the following topics.

"Hmm." Putting down the teacup in his hand, Ye Jingcheng asked further: "Then the Shaw Brothers asked you to film a film, did you give a salary of 300,000?" ”

Stepping into this topic, Wang Jing's originally indifferent face turned a little sad, and said: "Brother Cheng, you are joking, how can there be 300,000." ”

To say that his career in the Shaw Brothers is indeed reused by Shao Yifu. However, in the face of this notoriously stingy tycoon, his salary for making a movie is only 100,000 yuan at most, and the director and producer have to do it together.

As for the movies he conceived himself, Shao Yifu was willing to give him an extra share. However, this share is only 5%, and a series of expenses of the theater chain must be deducted first.

Take his previous 5 million box office "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants" as an example, first half of the box office will be summarized in theaters, and then deduct various labor, publicity, production costs, etc., and 5% of the share will be divided into his hands at most 130,000 or 40,000.

Even if his fixed 100,000 yuan director's salary is added, the total will not exceed 300,000. Wang Jing had nothing to say on the surface, but he had been thinking about it in his heart, and even planned to get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible.

You must know that he helped Ye Jingcheng make his first movie, and the director's share alone was more than this amount.

If Wang Tianlin hadn't been pressing him for his face, and didn't want to gossip that his family was unfaithful and unjust, he would have wanted to jump to other film companies a long time ago, and the best choice was naturally to take refuge in Ye Jingcheng.

First, although there is a big gap between the two of them now, after all, they have established a good relationship earlier, and if he goes to take refuge, he will definitely get some care.

The second is the preferential treatment given by Green Lantern Entertainment to the behind-the-scenes personnel, take Li Lichi and Liu Weiqiang as examples, these two people didn't understand anything at the beginning, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he led the two of them to get started.

But what about now? Liu Weiqiang and Li Lichi have already graduated from the school, and as a rookie director, they enjoy no worse treatment than him, how can the comparison between before and after make him feel balanced.

"Since you're not happy to do it, why don't you come and help me." Ye Jingcheng directly threw out an olive branch.

In this regard, Wang Jing did not show too much surprise. Not to mention that the rotation of his head is faster than that of ordinary people, even if he is replaced by ordinary people, it is not difficult to understand Ye Jingcheng's purpose from the dialogue.

Ye Jingcheng asked a few questions just now, and it seemed that he was caring for and consoling him, but in fact, it was also a test of him, to see if he had any plans to leave the Shaw Brothers.

"Brother Cheng, it's not that I don't want to go to you, I'm forced to be in the Shaw Brothers." Wang Jing said embarrassedly.

On the one hand, he really didn't want to stay at Shaw Brothers and hoped to develop in other companies. On the other hand, he needs to take care of Wang Tianlin's face, so that no one will gossip in front of their family.

Yu Gong, it was Shao Yifu who appreciated Wang Tianlin back then, and the latter had his current identity and status.

Yu Private, the Wang family once lost to the bottom of the overpass because of the queen mother's bad gambling problem, and the family almost slept at the bottom of the overpass, and it was Shao Yifu who also paid for it.

First, he gave them a sum of money to help them, so that their family would at least have a place to stay. In addition, he also stepped in to deal with the loan sharks, so that they could buy more time to repay their debts.

So if it is not necessary, Wang Jing does not want to be called ungrateful.

Ye Jingcheng is not incomprehensible about this, no matter what you owe to others, you must not owe people a debt of affection.

Human affection is valuable, but sometimes it really doesn't have much effect. The most important thing is that when you return it to the other party, it is likely to bring all kinds of trouble.

Take Wang Jing's father and son as an example, they still choose to stay in the Shaw Brothers, in addition to repaying this favor, they also suffer the concept of moral kidnapping.

"Have you ever thought about what happened if Shaw suddenly announced the cessation of production. If you don't pave the road in advance, what are you going to do in the future? Ye Jingcheng made a hypothesis.

"Discontinued! No way!? Wang Jing looked incredulous. But through his uncontrollable expression, it can be seen that the problem caused him to get emotional.

"If Shaw really plans to stop production, I will have to find another way out at that time." Wang Jing said curtly.

He understood Ye Jingcheng's meaning, and the meaning was also to solicit him, but this time he was thinking from his standpoint, to put it simply, he wanted him to make a deposit first, and Ye Jingcheng would give him this way out.

Similarly, these words also expressed another meaning, that is, Ye Jingcheng needs him now, if he doesn't take advantage of this opportunity......

I really had to wait until Shaw Brothers stopped production to come to him. At that time, Ye Jingcheng may not accept him, even if he is reluctantly allowed to join Green Lantern Entertainment, he may not know what position he is in.

With Wang Jing's ghostly character, he had actually guessed Ye Jingcheng's thoughts of seven or eight points. It's a very simple question, Wang Jing used to do the same.

That is, on the surface, he is still a Shaw Brothers, but behind the scenes, he has an extra part-time job with Ye Jingcheng.

Just as he secretly helped Jiahe write a script to sell for money because he wanted to help the queen mother repay her debts, this is the way to secretly display the warehouse.

It's not new, and it's not that clever. But for Shaw Brothers, Green Lantern Entertainment, and Wang Jing, it is indeed a good way to compromise.

When Ye Jingcheng chose the director for "The True Color of Heroes", he also found John Woo, who was helping Golden Harvest, to do things part-time, and John Woo deliberately changed his name for insurance at that time.

In fact, this matter has not been concealed at all, at least Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang know it. However, they know that they really can't deal with Wu Yusen's behavior with too strong means.

What's more, John Woo's reputation has risen, which has also helped their producers...?

Speaking of Wu Yusen, fortunately, Ye Jingcheng did not plan to recruit this king of pit kings. John Woo became famous for the violent aesthetics in "The True Color of Heroes", and Golden Harvest tried to invest in several films of this genre.

At that time, John Woo's title of "King of the Pit King" was finally revealed, and Zou Wenhuai was asked repeatedly and four times for additional funds for filming. The result was an investment of nearly five million before and after, and John Woo gave such an answer: "This drama is only halfway filmed." ”

It is conceivable how angry Zou Wenhuai was at that time, so he almost hung Wu Yusen up and whipped him. Originally, a movie with a budget of two million, but he increased the amount to five million, and actually told him that it was only half of the film.

Doesn't it mean that a movie will use at least 10 million before and after? Rao is a green lantern entertainment that pays attention to the quality of movies, and the highest investment in a movie only cost a total of five million.

Could it be that John Woo really has Ye Jingcheng's ability? Or can he guarantee the box office of the movie? So John Woo didn't come out for more than two months, and he didn't even have a chance to shoot a follow-up movie, so he once again let Golden Harvest enter the cold palace.

Of course, it can't be said that John Woo's ability is really so embarrassing, but the movies directed and produced by him can indeed only be appreciated from an artistic point of view.

On the contrary, Wang Jing, who focuses on commercial films. In terms of fame, criticism and international influence, it is certainly not as good as artists like John Woo. But he can at least create benefits for himself and give an explanation to the boss behind the scenes.

"That'...... All right. Regarding the part-time job that Ye Jingcheng arranged for him, Wang Jing hesitated a little and agreed.

What's more, there are only three things, Ye Jingcheng has recruited him twice. If he refuses outright, it will really refute the other party's face. It is conceivable that the relationship between the two parties in the future will only go further and further with time.

"Your first job." Ye Jingcheng handed over the script to Wang Jing casually.

Wang Jing's promise is already something he expected, even if Wang Jing is not a real job-hopping, the difference will not be too big for Ye Jingcheng.

The news that Shaw Brothers is about to stop production is not that he made it out of nothing, but that he recently learned through investigation that Shaw Yifu is withdrawing funds from Shaw Brothers Pictures.

As for what the motive is, Ye Jingcheng has roughly two guesses.

On the one hand, in order to raise abundant funds, Shao Yifu used it to fight for his TVB copyright. On the other hand, from the continuous reduction of Shaw Brothers' production, it can be seen that Shaw Yifu does intend to give up Shaw Brothers.

Wang Jing took the script, only to see that the four big characters "Truant Weilong" were written on it, and before reading the content, Wang Jing first imagined and speculated through the fatality of the movie.

When he was about to open the script, he stopped his movements and looked at Ye Jingcheng, and said with a dodging look: "Brother Cheng, you give me the script directly, don't be afraid that I will take it back and ask the sixth uncle for credit." ”

"Will you?" Ye Jingcheng squinted his eyes and asked Wang Jing rhetorically: "Don't say how much bonus he will give you, I will give you a million director's salary, I believe you will calculate this account yourself." ”

A very real problem made Wang Jing not know how to answer. There is a salary of one million promised by Ye Jingcheng on this side, and depending on the situation, there will be successive director dividends.

As for the other end, it was Wang Jing who handed over the script to Shao Yifu, so as to exchange for a piece of loyalty that can be seen by the sun and the moon.

However, I am afraid that this loyalty is not worth too much money, or Shao Yifu will increase the 5% dividend originally allocated to him to 10% for the sake of his script.

But according to the previous calculations, even if this movie breaks through the box office of 10 million, he will only increase from the original income of less than 300,000 yuan to an income of 500,000 or 600,000 yuan, which may not even be half of Ye Jingcheng's salary.

I'm afraid that if I find a three-year-old child to decide, I will also know which side to choose.

Of course, Wang Jing did not entangle between the two, nor did he intend to say that he wanted to betray Ye Jingcheng, what he said just now was just a sentence he subconsciously said.

The relationship between him and the Shaw Brothers is still focused on Wang Tianlin. If Wang Tianlin was not used as a hub, he and Shaw Brothers would have just been a paper contract, and he would have patted his ass a long time ago. How can it be said that in order to show loyalty, he deliberately betrayed his future.

Putting away some thoughts that should not be there, Wang Jing began to flip through the script of "Truant Weilong", and was soon attracted by the content inside.

Now Wang Jing, as a director, has not yet had a qualitative idea of the movies he is good at. However, he personally prefers comedy films, in addition to the low investment in comedy films, their selling points, and their wide audience, the box office results of comedy films are also high.

Naturally, as long as the box office of the movie is high, the dividends that fall into his hands will be more.

However, there are also a lot of themes in comedy films, such as forming selling points through tricks, such as a kind of urban humor, an action comedy exclusive to Chenglong, and many other methods that are not so funny.

Wang Jing is currently looking for a suitable development for himself, the premise must be an audience rather than entertaining himself, and secondly, there will be no overlap in the funny genre, or his unique development path.

Until now, the fog that had been blocking his vision has completely lifted, and he has finally found a path suitable for his own development, just like the script of "Truant Dragon" depicts.

He can use an extremely exaggerated hilariousness, including a series of micro-expressions and body language, as a key selling point for a film.

Wang Jing suddenly felt a little lucky, fortunately he didn't have a hot head just now, and then refused Ye Jingcheng's solicitation of him. Otherwise, it is a small matter to miss an opportunity, and it will undoubtedly lose a development direction. I'm really waiting for him to figure it out for himself, and he doesn't know when he will be able to open up.

"Brother Cheng, did you write this script?" Wang Jing asked weakly.

"Well, what do you think?" Ye Jingcheng nodded slightly.

"I think this script seems to have been written specifically for me, but this type of film has extremely high requirements for the actors, not only to embellish the actors with exaggerated acting skills, but also to make the characters in the film come alive."

Wang Jing asked, "Brother Cheng, have you found a suitable candidate?" ”

"You should remember Xingzai, right?" Ye Jingcheng asked.

"He? Will it work? Wang Jing frowned.

I don't know Zhou Xingchi very well, so I don't know Zhou Xingchi very well. However, from the mouths of others, he still knew that Zhou Xingchi's personality was not good.

For such a bad gambler, it made him think of the queen mother who gambled, how miserable the family was at that time. Now that he heard that he wanted to make a contract with Zhou Xingchi, he was unwilling to do it both internally and on the surface.

"Okay, you can try him then, and you'll know." In this regard, Ye Jingcheng has nothing to say. At least the current Zhou Xingchi has made great changes.

"Okay then."

Since Ye Jingcheng, as an investor behind the scenes, is also willing to give Zhou Xingchi a chance. Wang Jing has no reason to push back again, let's see how he performs at that time, if it doesn't work, he will definitely let Ye Jingcheng be replaced. (To be continued.) )
