Chapter 226: Let Others Have No Way Out
At the same time that Chen Sheng got the copyright of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", the cable TV station also received the news, Fang Yijun was furious, and the team that had prepared the adaptation was ready to be preempted by Chen Sheng again.
"How's the preparation for the shootout scene?" Fang Yijun said to the assistant.
"This" assistant seemed to be a little afraid to speak, hesitating.
"Say"
"Everything is ready, but you can't recruit a suitable martial artist."
"What about those martial artist teams that we worked with before?"
"Wang Qiang and Liu Yong have all gone to participate in the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Guild now, and they are now asking them to go directly to the guild, and the director of that guild said that the price we give is too low, and there is no specially equipped medical institution, so they can't provide martial artists to our company."
"Crazy, crazy, this world is simply crazy, I have never heard of a martial artist having to equip them with a doctor, so do I need a doctor for everyone?" Fang Yijun stood up directly angrily.
"Director, I don't think you need to be so angry, these martial artists are raising the price so high now, presumably no company will use them, and they will have to come back obediently when the time comes, let's just knock them out." The assistant said with a look of resentment.
"This is also a way, hum Chen Sheng is self-righteous to create a martial arts guild, the martial artists on Hong Kong Island have to have five hundred if there are not three hundred, I see how he arranges these people."
Thunder's side is about the same, and the stomach aches at the moment, because Tan Xuanyuan actually took the entire Tan family class away, and there was no trace of discussion, so he just left.
To be honest, usually Lei Ting doesn't treat Tan Xuanyuan as a human being at all, and he comes and goes when he calls it, but now that there is really no Tan Xuanyuan, he is a little uncomfortable.
The tycoon is different from the cable company, the cable company reduces production, and the tycoon cannot reduce production, so they need their own team, but the contract expires, and Tan Jiaban unilaterally does not want to sign the contract, and turns into the arms of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Association, and now he has even put forward a series of requirements.
I don't sign that kind of annual contract with the company at all, but a contract that says a play as a play, and the martial artist also has a special team of lawyers to negotiate the conditions, and there is no longer the possibility of fooling.
The most fucked up thing is that the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Association is actually not very big, there are only about ten office windows in it, and there are ten lawyers sitting in it, and after everything is negotiated, there will be a special person responsible for notifying the martial artist.
After the thunder people went, they waited for half an hour before it was their turn, and they were told all kinds of strange reasons, which in the eyes of the thunder were clearly embarrassing.
"Hmph Chen Sheng, see what you do tomorrow!!" Thunder couldn't get angry, so he made a few phone calls directly.
The next day, both the secret newspaper and the Yindu Daily praised the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Association established by Chen Sheng, applauding such a strange person as Chen Sheng in the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts World.
These two articles are based on the theme of realism, and the authenticity of the things written is very high, and there are also many examples that cite the importance of the Dragon and Tiger Warrior to a movie.
Of course, some small newspapers began to write that Chen Sheng was a big monopolist, and after some achievements, he began to look at no one and wanted to directly monopolize the film industry on Hong Kong Island.
Because now everyone knows that the more profitable films on Hong Kong Island are kung fu movies, gunfight films, and comedy films.
And these three films sometimes don't need martial artists except for comedies, but other films are inseparable from martial artists, many of them, celebrities are inseparable from martial artists, and even some big-name stars are looking for their own royal stand-ins.
But now these things have been completely disrupted by Chen Sheng, and the establishment of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Association has made basically some famous Dragon and Tiger Martial Artists on Hong Kong Island join here and become members.
Chen Sheng, on the other hand, provides these people with the opportunity to work for free, as long as they have a skill.
In fact, Chen Sheng has always had a principle of nobility and no more, and the martial artists who entered the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Association in this play will first go through Chen Sheng's layers of selection, and some of them with good looks and good acting skills will be directly sent by Chen Sheng to study in the wireless performing arts class.
When the Olympian Performing Arts Class, which lasted for several months, was established at TVB Hong Kong Island, it was changed to the TVB Performing Arts Class to provide various performing arts talents for the needs of the TV station.
In fact, on the day the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Association was founded, it received more than 100 applications for membership from martial artists, and by about a week, 381 martial artists had already joined.
And Chen Sheng went through layers of selection, and finally selected 53 young people to go to the wireless performing arts class for free training, of course, this free has a price, when you graduate, you must sign the brokerage contract to TVB.
For this kind of trainee system in Korea in later generations, it is a bit strict, but these martial artists who want to get ahead don't mind at all, they are originally a bunch of small martial artists, they can't eat enough and don't have enough clothes, how can anyone train them for free, of course they are very content.
As for Tan Xuanyuan, the day after Tan Jiaban joined, Chen Sheng held a special welcome ceremony for him, which was not particularly big, but it was very innovative, and Zuo Lindong and Zhao Bao both followed.
said that it was a welcome ceremony, but in fact, he was talking to Tan Xuanyuan about things, and Chen Sheng wanted Tan Xuanyuan to join all the members of the Tan family class to join the Zuo family class.
But what's interesting is that Tan Xuanyuan and Zuo Lindong are very reluctant, and the two of them also want to merge, but the two of them have to name Chen Jiaban, otherwise they won't want to.
Chen Sheng was helpless, but these two could only change the name to the Chen family class, Zuo Lindong continued to serve as the class leader, Tan Xuanyuan was the deputy, and the martial arts team under Chen Sheng was established.
Tan Xuanyuan was not idle, and was sent by Chen Sheng to help Cai Xing as soon as he came.
A few days ago, Cai Xing returned to China and was ready to take over the filming of the movie "The Saint of Gambling" specially prepared for him by Chen Sheng, and Cai Xing is still the protagonist in this play, and an old acquaintance like Wushuang is still playing the male supporting role.
They are all old acquaintances, and the old team is old, but the only difference is that this time the martial arts instructor has changed to Tan Xuanyuan, and the entire Tan family class will follow and design their martial arts movements.
Dongsheng doesn't have many dramas every year, but Chen Sheng is also planning to increase production now, because they now want theaters to have theaters, actors to have actors, and martial artists to have martial artists, which can be said to be all lacking.
Increasing production has become inevitable, and now their editorial team is also a little short of people, Chen Sheng thought of a person at this time, Luo Wenliang who stayed in the United States.
used to be Chen Long's queen screenwriter, his ability is beyond doubt, otherwise Chen Long would not have used him, and Dongsheng's current director of the editorial department must be him.
Through acquaintances, Chen Sheng quickly found Luo Wenliang, but in fact, at this time, Luo Wenliang was not very good in the United States, Americans naturally have a sense of superiority, and they are more reluctant to people with other skins, so Lao Luo is not very comfortable.
As soon as he heard that Chen Sheng was coming to him, he got on the horse without saying a word.
Chen Sheng gave him a lot of rights, all the scripts he liked, if the demand was below three million, he could make the decision directly, and if it was above three million, it had to go through Chen Sheng's hands.
And Luo Wenliang did not disappoint Chen Sheng, and picked out ten scripts in one go, all of which were plays that Dongsheng would prepare for the next year.
Chen Sheng looked at it casually, it seemed that it was okay, and then called Zhou Changqing to say, no way, because now Zhou Changqing and He Jiaju basically don't care much about these things of Chen Sesame and Rotten Grain, and Chen Sheng basically has the final say in the movie.
Although Chen Sheng only got 10% of the equity of Olympian International at the beginning, in fact, in this year, Chen Sheng was the one who did things. Since the failure of the strategy in the United States, Zhou Changqing and He Jiaju have not interfered much in the management of Olympian, and all of them have been handed over to Chen Shenglai.
And Zhou Changqing and He Jiaju are now carefully managing the TV station and training classes, these are the next generation of movies, young people who can martial arts and can act, and they are the best protagonists of kung fu movies.
They have gone through the glorious era of kung fu movies together, and naturally they don't want kung fu movies to be silent, but unfortunately the current kung fu film market is really old.
Since Chen Long's classic "Jingwumen", there have been no works.
This is a loss for the entire film industry, and also a loss for the entire Hong Kong Island.
Approaching the end of the year, it should have been quiet, but Chen Sheng found that now it was a manifestation of some undercurrent surging.
Since Chen Sheng will need a lot of martial artists in the next year, all the dragon and tiger martial artists who come to join the club can basically find a job, the salary is higher than usual, and there will be a doctor to accompany the crew, at least they can do a simple treatment, if they need to be hospitalized, the treatment cost is all covered by the crew.
Where to find such a good thing, they will naturally not be willing to go to other companies.
Dongsheng, Xinlian, Olympian International and TVB now have movies to shoot, and they naturally need a lot of manpower, especially Xinlian, "Crazy Boy II" is now in full swing.
They need a large number of martial artists with shooting experience, which solves a large part of the problem, and these people don't get a lot of money a day, so they are naturally willing, for Xinlian and Olympian, this is a little bit of an increase in cost. But with Chen Sheng, you will be able to release the movie to the whole of Europe.
Let's talk about "Crazy Boy", this kind of gangster-themed movie is deeply liked by Europeans who have a strong tendency to violence, and the bloody and violent scenes in it can make foreigners feel their blood boiling.
So after this film was released in Europe, it also got a box office of barely 40 million euros, and Xinlian Company directly earned more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars.
This kind of speed of brushing money is simply crazy, Xiang Long and Xiang Hu are both happy to close their mouths, and they really don't care about the price of these martial artists at this moment.
