"Shall we talk in the car?" Fang Yihua said with a smile.

"Okay." Lu Haoer happily agreed. She was really curious about how she got into the eyes of the big guys.

Sitting in the car, Fang Yihua quietly observed that from the moment she sat in the car, she didn't squint at Lu Haoer, and she didn't wonder why Boss Shao was looking for her.

T-shirts, jeans, and ponytails look fresh and cute, and it's so good to be young!

Seeing that Lu Hao'er didn't mean to take the initiative to talk, Fang Yihua was curious, how could she be so calm at such a young age.

Lu Haoer recalled the Shaw Brothers movie in her mind and the confidante of the famous boss Shao.

After thinking about it, the car had already stopped at the hotel, and on the elevator, Fang Yihua asked with a smile, "Miss Lu, aren't you curious why we are looking for you?" ”

Lu Hao'er smiled slightly, "I'll know soon." ”

"Ding ......" The elevator door opened, and Lu Haoer humbly let Fang Yihua take a step forward, and then followed her out of the elevator.

The two walked up to an old man one after the other, who was reading a newspaper with the fragrance of tea in front of him.

"Sixth brother!" Fang Yihua shouted softly.

Shao Yifu raised his eyes and looked at Lu Hao'er and said, "Miss Lu, please take a seat!" ”

Lu Hao'er said respectfully, "Hello, Boss Shao! Then sat respectfully across from him.

The eyes are clear, without a trace of nervousness and fear.

This made Shao Yifu praise again in his heart.

The waiter came over at this time, Fang Yihua ordered a cup of coffee, and Lu Haoer ordered a cup of water.

Lu Hao'er picked up the clear water in front of her, and the cold touch relieved the tension in her heart. He took a sip and looked at them with a natural expression.

"Miss Lu, aren't you curious why we're looking for you?" Shao Yifu asked with interest.

"Is it because of it?" Lu Haoer smiled indifferently, and pointed to the novel "I'm Crazy for Stocks" serialized in the newspaper.

&*&

Lu Haoer walked back home. He shouted, "Grandpa, grandma, mom, I'm back." ”

"I'll go back to the kitchen." Zhu Cuiyun shouted when she heard this.

Gu Yaluo, who was helping in the kitchen, came out of the kitchen and saw Lu Hao'er holding the cold pot and teacup on the dining table, pouring half a cup of cold white water, drinking it all, and looking at the celadon teacup in a daze.

"Second sister. What do you think? So obsessed. Gu Yaluo sat next to her and looked at her and said.

"Oh! What about people? Lu Hao'er came back to her senses and asked with a slight smile.

"My grandfather and grandmother are in the tea restaurant, and my uncle is not at home. Aunt is cooking lunch in the kitchen? Gu Yaluo then said, "Second sister has something on her mind?" ”

"There's one thing!" Lu Haoer pondered for a moment and said, "Boss Shao of Shaw Brothers Movies came to me and wanted to make "I'm Crazy for Stocks" into a movie. ”

"What? What the? "Zhu Cuiyun turned off the fire. Pedal out of the road. "What did you say?"

Lu Hao'er raised her eyes and looked at her very calmly and said, "Mom, the article "I'm Crazy About Stocks" I published was favored by Shaw Brothers Pictures and is going to be made into a movie. ”

"Really!" Zhu Cuiyun asked in disbelief.

Lu Hao'er then said, "Hmm! But I didn't say yes. ”

"Ahh Zhu Cuiyun opened her mouth wide and looked at Lu Hao'er in disbelief and said, "Hao'er, that's Shaw Brothers, the leader of Xiangjiang movies!" How did you refuse. ”

"Auntie. Second sister, sit down. It's never too late! Gu Yaluo looked at Zhu Cuiyun, who was at a loss for joy, and said.

"Yes, Hao'er sit down and tell your mother what's going on?" Zhu Cuiyun pulled her to sit down and said.

Lu Hao'er thought for a while and said, "Actually, I didn't say no, I just said come back and think about it." ”

Lu Hao'er told the details of the situation, Gu Yaluo rubbed her chin, squinted her eyes and said, "So the second sister hasn't signed a contract yet, right?" ”

"Hmm!" Lu Hao'er took out the contract from her bag and said, "Boss Shao asked me to come back and study the contract carefully, and then sign the contract." ”

Gu Yaluo smiled slightly, "Second sister hesitates. ”

"I took a cursory look at the contract, the conditions are too harsh?" Lu Hao'er scratched her head, her clear eyes wandering.

"What's going on?" Zhu Cuiyun asked puzzled.

Lu Haoer said, "The contract said that I would give them full responsibility for the film adaptation of the novel, and of course there would be my name on the screen, and I would be given a considerable remuneration." ”

"Isn't that bad? Hao'er can write novels, can she grasp movie scripts well? Or leave it to the professionals. Zhu Cuiyun looked at her with concern and said.

Gu Yaluo's light eyes looked at them quietly, and her star eyes narrowed lightly, "Aunt said so!" If the second sister's novel is compared to her child, you have to hand over the child to the film company, and they can change it as much as they want, even if it is changed beyond recognition, it has nothing to do with you. It's like it's none of your business to sell your child, and you can't manage it if you want to. ”

"No way!" Zhu Cuiyun flatly refused, "If you change your grandfather's classic statement, your grandfather won't be angry!" ”

Gu Yaluo and Lu Hao'er glanced at each other, "Poof...... Ha ha! ”

"Mom!"

"Auntie!"

The two said in unison, "You're so cute. ”

"You two girls." Zhu Cuiyun blushed and said embarrassedly, "I'm not wrong, compared to the first two walled novels written by Hao'er, you don't know how much we like this novel, it feels like it's happening around you." She grabbed Lu Hao'er's hand and said, "Hao'er listened to her mother, we are not short of money, this child?" She shook her head and said, "Look at me, we won't sell this novel, we will sell our participation in the adaptation rights." ”

Then he said in horror, "Hao'er, do you think they will come to rob it!" They are big companies, and we are promoted to small people. ”

"Mom, don't scare yourself, you said that she is a big company, she won't be so tasteless." Lu Hao'er calmed the panicked Zhu Cuiyun and said.

"Auntie, the second sister's novel was published before, and it can be said that everyone in Hong Kong knows that they will not make such a low-level mistake." Gu Yaluo's pupils flashed a glimmer of light and said, "It's ugly to go to court, and it's also a loss of character." ”

"The contract conditions are too harsh." Zhu Cuiyun shook her head and said, "Actually, I really like to make a movie!" ”

Gu Yaluo shook his head and smiled, "There is more harsh than this, the kind of contract that gives full authority to other screenwriters to revise his script, and he can't leave his name on the screen, so he can only take the manuscript fee and leave." If you sign this kind of contract, you are giving the ownership of your script to someone else. It doesn't matter to you how others use it. As for how much you can get, it's all up to someone else. Comparatively speaking, the second sister's contract is quite kind to the newcomer in terms of remuneration. ”

"This contract is simply more excessive than eating people without spitting out bones." Zhu Cuiyun said angrily, "Forget it, let's not sign it, oops!" My pot. Teng stood up and staggered into the kitchen.

Lu Hao'er stuffed the contract directly into her bag without a trace of nostalgia, "Mom, what are we going to eat at noon?" ”

"Second sister doesn't feel distressed!" Gu Yaluo clasped her hands to her chest, and her silent and cold eyes swept over Lu Hao'er and said.

"I can't help it, I can't convince myself to give them full control of the novel, so I don't have to talk about it." Lu Hao'er shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands and said, "So I had to give up." ”

"It's not that you have to give up, this matter is discussed." Gu Yaluo's deep eyes like a deep pool turned slightly, and she winked at her and said, "What does the second sister think of Shaw Brothers VS Jiahe." ”

&*&

"Sixth brother, why did you give her such a high salary, she is just a newcomer." Fang Yihua asked puzzledly, the remuneration of 50,000 yuan and the remuneration of a newcomer of several thousand yuan is indeed high.

"You're so optimistic about this novel." Fang Yihua said lightly.

"Is this novel good?" Shao Yifu asked with a slight smile.

"I admit that the novel is well written." Fang Yihua said matter-of-factly, "But that girl is too delicate!" I cursed in my heart: I really don't know how to lift, with such good conditions, I didn't sign a contract on the spot.

Shao Yifu shook his head slightly, it's better for a girl to calm down, and she still has to hone it!

&*&

Gu Yaluo's words made Lu Haoer begin to recall these two companies, thanks to Lu Haowu's blessing, and also had a superficial understanding of the past and present life of the film company in Xiangjiang.

Boss Shao, who was over sixty years ago three years ago, is in a good mood because of several recent events: Fang Yihua has just joined the Shaw Brothers to take charge of the purchasing department, and he has quite a lot of achievements, knowing that he can save money for the company and not be a confidante in vain, how can he not be comforted? The old rival "Cathay Pacific" for more than ten years finally stopped the production business, and since then Shaw Brothers has been able to dominate the Hong Kong film industry, how can he not be complacent? I also heard that the "League of Nations" film industry established by Li Hanxiang, a rebel general of the Shaw Brothers who left Taiwan, is now struggling to operate, and it has only been a matter of one or two years since it was closed.

However, happiness is happiness, and there are troubles. In this regard, what Boss Shao is most concerned about is that the production manager Zhou Wenhuai disagrees with him. The reason for the incident was that he decided to cut the film production plan in half and invest money in the television industry because he decided that the fledgling television would become a trend in the future, and Zhou Wenhuai strongly opposed this move from a film perspective. ――If others hold this objection, Boss Shao doesn't have to pay attention to it, but Zhou Wenhuai is the company's status second only to him and his third brother Shao Renmei's anti-Ding minister, and it is inevitable that he will have some scruples, and he must be appeased. Who knew that before the boss could say anything, he was shocked to hear the bad news: Zhou Wenhuai actually followed in the footsteps of Li Hanxiang and announced that he would break away from the Shaw Brothers and set up his own door!

The matter has come to this point, He Zhixiang, Cai Yongchang, Zhao Yaojun, Liang Feng and other fierce generals followed Zhou Wenhuai, although the Shaw Brothers suffered heavy losses, fortunately Boss Shao can still bear it: it is going to rain, my mother wants to marry, let him go, it's a big deal I will recruit troops and start all over again. However, Zhou Wenhuai's next behavior really angered Boss Shao, and the guest and host eventually became strangers!

The copyright dispute of "One-Armed Knife" even went to court in the end, and the two even went to court in person, turned their faces on the spot, and spent millions of attorney fees for this, until the end of the film's screening period, the lawsuit is still not over!

In addition, Shaw Brothers missed Bruce Lee, and several films were blockbusters, frequently breaking box office records. Let the old club Shaw Brothers be disgraced. The Shaw Brothers can only rely on Fengyue films in terms of quantity, and they have saved some face at the box office, but they are not very good-looking after all. (To be continued.) )
