Just when Gu Weiqi and Cameron were chatting happily and were about to sign the contract.

The oldest Count Victor sent by Ferrian Wharton and the most experienced in killing people in the "Killer Alliance" had arrived in Xiangjiang by airliner. Then I took a taxi to a hotel near the "Oriental Hollywood International Film Company" and opened a room.

Standing by the window of the guest room, you can see the staff of "Donglai Company" coming in and out.

In the information about Gu Weiqi that Fei Lian showed Victor, Gu Weiqi's company naturally also included.

Old Count Victor naturally did this in order to facilitate monitoring Gu Weiqi's movements. However, it is clear that the old man is much more stable than Sophia and Nakamura Taro, and he is not in a hurry to do it.

After opening the guest room, the old earl stood by the window and watched for a while before withdrawing his gaze, taking a hot bath, and resting.

……

After Cameron read the contract, although the conditions were a little harsh, it was not unacceptable, so after thinking about it for a while, he agreed to Gu Weiqi and signed the contract with him.

Gu Weiqi was secretly happy in his heart, having this "king of the world" joining, it was equivalent to adding wings to a tiger. And this guy is born in special effects technology, it can be said that he has also increased the company's special effects talents, and the "Oriental Hollywood International Film Company" can be said to have taken another step forward on the way to dominate Hollywood and dominate the world film industry, and it is a big step.

Subsequently, the two movie lovers discussed the plot and special effects technology of the upcoming film "Terminator".

"Terminator" Hong Kong translation "Future Soldier", the general plot is mainly about 2029 AD, after nuclear destruction of the earth has been ruled by the computer "Skynet", human beings have been almost wiped out. The remaining humanity, led by leader John Connor, fought valiantly against the computer and turned the tide.

In order to change all this, Skynet created a time reversal device and sent the Terminator humanoid robot T-800 back to 1984 to kill John's mother, Connor Sarah, in order to prevent John's birth. John discovers one of these plots and captures the lab, and the warrior Kyleth Reese volunteers to travel back through the time portal to protect Sarah in 1984.

The T-800 is a mechanical warrior with human characteristics such as muscles and blood. It travels to Los Angeles and follows the phone book to hunt down a woman named Sarah Connor. But the real Sarah is saved by Reese at a critical moment. But the police arrested Reese as a terrorist. No one believed what Reese said about the future world and the war, thinking that he was a madman. The T-800 broke into the police station, and the police were not vulnerable at all. Luckily, Reece escaped and took Sarah to the outskirts, and in the face of the facts, Sarah finally believed Reese.

In the motel, Reese confides in Sarah for a long time, and the two hug and go to bed, and it turns out that Reece is John's father. T-800 finds them, and Reece and Sarah escape with the prepared explosives tubes. During the chase, Reece wittily blew up the tanker truck driven by the T-800, and the T-800 was engulfed in flames, but Reece was seriously injured.

However, the T-800 was not destroyed, and its human shell was burned away, revealing a microcomputer-controlled superalloy mechanical skeleton. The T-800 chased the two into the factory, and Reese sacrificed his life to destroy the lower half of the T-800's body with the last explosive, but the remaining T-800 still did not forget to chase Sarah. Eventually, Sarah trapped the T-800 in a hydraulic press with a meter, crushing it into a pile of scrap metal.

In the conversation between the two, Cameron put forward a lot of novel ideas for some plots. And Gu Weiqi also gave Cameron a lot of inspiration for the application of special effects, so that he couldn't help but sigh secretly that Gu Weiqi really deserves to be a movie genius.

The film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Beane and Linda Hamilton in the original plane. Now, it is impossible for Gu Weiqi to let the other party lead the film anymore. After all, I don't know where the other party is. Besides, the "China Entertainment International Superstar Entertainment Agency" itself has many signed actors.

And there is no shortage of foreigners, and it is not difficult to find a suitable leading actor. However, in view of the fact that the script of this film has to be rewritten, I am not in a hurry about the actors.

However, after Cameron signed the contract, Gu Weiqi held a meeting and introduced Cameron to everyone.

As for the script changes to this novel, Cameron himself was also in charge, and people from the screenwriting department such as Huang Bingyao assisted him.

After the meeting, Gu Weiqi looked at his watch, it was already noon, so he invited everyone to have a meal and celebrated the new company's Cameron.

After eating, as soon as Gu Weiqi arrived at the company, Fang Lingwei took an invitation card, and when she opened it, she saw that it was given to her by Pan Disheng, the president of Debao International Entertainment Film Company. The gist is that Debao will hold a celebration party for the opening ceremony tonight, hoping that colleagues in the film industry can gather together to talk about the development of the film industry in Hong Kong.

Gu Weiqi didn't want to go, but after thinking about it, it would be better to take a look, maybe there would be unexpected gains.

But as soon as he put down the invitation, the phone rang, and when he picked it up, he heard that it was Shao Yifu, saying that he was going to invite him to afternoon tea.

Gu Weiqi couldn't help sneering in his heart, drinking afternoon tea? I think it's true that I was urging me to have a new script, right? But he didn't care, although this old fox, especially his concubine Fang Yihua, took the opportunity to dig up a lot of artists from his own brokerage company when he had an accident some time ago. But it can also be regarded as helping a lot on the issue of the blocking and unblocking of Taiwan.

So Gu Weiqi asked for the time and place on the phone, and promised him to go to the appointment on time.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Weiqi saw that it was still early, and there was nothing to do at this time, so he started the novel again. Anyway, those box office blockbuster movies in Europe and the United States, as long as he thinks of them, he will do it. For him, if he doesn't do it in vain, if he does it in vain, then he can turn it into white silver.

waited until three o'clock, when it was almost time to have afternoon tea with Shao Yifu, and then took the car.

If you want to say that Shao Yifu has no way now, the Shao family is declining, and it is impossible to reproduce the glory of twenty years ago. One is that he is old after all, and the second is that Shao's large-scale studio system seems to save a lot of expenses every year, but the rigid system can't keep up with the pace and changes of the times.

To put it simply, it is no longer possible to use the previous set.

This is also one of the main reasons why Shao has been cutting expenses and reducing production volume in recent years.

Even Shao Yifu has basically given up saving the Shao Kingdom. But movies are his career for most of his life, and he is reluctant to give up for a while.

Especially with the help of Gu Weiqi, a strong foreign aid, several films produced have been sold well. Including the "Barefoot Kid" who is now being fully released by Shao's has a good attendance, which makes him feel passionate about the movie again. However, it was at this time that Jiahe and Xinyi Chengjun made a big move, and both of them started a blockbuster with big investment and big casts.

This made Shao Yifu's eyes hot, and at the same time, he rose up with a competitive fighting spirit. ran away from Xin Yicheng and didn't talk about it, just said that he had been fighting with Wrinkles Wenhuai for many years. It is said that when the fight was most intense a few years ago, a full-martial arts fight was even staged, and the two can be said to be on the same footing.

And now seeing his newly established "Oriental Charm" company, with the help of Gu Weiqi's hand, Jiahe has been suppressed.

But now the other party does not hesitate to invest 30 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot a flying blockbuster, obviously to make a beautiful comeback. How can this work? It is absolutely impossible to let the other party turn over, and to press his Jiahe momentum again. But on his own, he certainly can't. To say that Qian Shao Yifu is naturally not lacking.

But what he lacks is creativity. In fact, there is no shortage of talents, and the key is script creativity. And here is precisely the need to rely on Gu Weiqi, a movie genius. Although he was very reluctant to admit it, all the scripts that Gu Weiqi had drummed up had a good response, and now he can't admit it.

When Gu Weiqi came to the tea restaurant that he had made an appointment with Shao Yifu, Shao Yifu had been waiting for a long time.

The two met, exchanged a few words, then sat down and asked for a pot of good tea, a few delicate snacks, and enjoyed the leisurely time in the afternoon.

The two of them drank tea and ate snacks without opening their mouths first.

I have to say that Gu Weiqi's current efforts to nourish his qi have done his best to reach the true biography of Old Man Gu, and in the end, Shao Yifu couldn't help but speak: "Boss Gu, you should have heard about it, Jiahe and Xin Yicheng have broken the news, and they are ready to invest in a new film with a big investment?" ”

"I heard that, I also heard that Chen Jianxun united with a rich boy named Pan Disheng to establish Debao International Entertainment Film Company. Even that Boss Pan sent me an invitation card to let Gu attend the celebration party. Presumably Boss Shao also received an invitation, I think? ”

"That's right, someone did get it."

Shao Yifu praised: "If you want to say that this Pan Disheng is not simple, two or three years ago, he relied on the one million US dollars he borrowed from his father, and in just two or three years, he earned a net worth of hundreds of millions. Now what is even more unexpected is to plunge headlong into the film industry. There's one more competitor in the future. Faced with this situation, Boss Gu, aren't you in a hurry? ”

"Why am I in a hurry?"

Gu Weiqi chuckled and said: "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and no one can stop it." It's his business that Pan Disheng wants to come in and take a kick, and I just need to do my thing. Whatever, anyway, my company is full of talents now, and I'm not afraid of anyone coming in. The so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. Besides, it's a little more lively. ”

"That's right." Shao Yifu smiled, but there was always a sense of bitterness in that smile.

However, so is imagination. His "Donglai Company" is full of talents, and there are a lot of talents in his Shao's film kingdom. But looking at the "Donglai Company" in just two or three years, it has developed into a leading large-scale film company in Xiangjiang. On the other hand, his Shao kingdom is twilight in the western mountains, and every day goes down.

Only by constantly cutting expenses year by year can we ensure that we can make money and make profits. But the profit is already very small, and even many films shot every year have to lose money in it. An old large company is not as good as a new company, and it makes people feel uncomfortable to imagine. Everyone is also a human being, why is the gap between this person and human being so big?

This made Shao Yifu puzzled, or he had realized that Shao's rigid system had dragged down Shao's development.

But it has been many years, and it is no longer possible to think about reform. Because the concept of the large-scale factory system has been deeply rooted, it is not easy to reform it if it affects the whole body. Because it is related to the interests of many people, it will accelerate the decline of the Shao family, so it is easy not to move. Not to mention reforms.

And this is also an important reason why he is willing to set up another company rather than cooperate with Gu Weiqi in the name of Shao's.

Just as Shao Yifu's complicated thoughts were turning, Gu Weiqi continued: "If no one really enters this film circle, then after a long time, this industry will either become a pool of stagnant water; Or it will become a monopoly situation, boss Shao, do you think this is a good thing? Whatever you think, I don't think it's a good thing anyway. ”

Shao Yifu imagined that this was indeed the case. thinks that his Shao clan was also a dominant family back then, and then it came to this point where it is gradually declining today.

One company is dominant, and there are no competitors, which is actually very dangerous.

Sighing, Shao Yifu said again: "Okay, let's not talk about this." By the way, I wonder if you have any ideas about the new script? ”

Gu Weiqi muttered: "There are a lot of ideas, but I haven't made up my mind for the time being. You let me think about it again, and when I think about it, I'll give you an answer to Boss Shao. ”

"Oh, what do you think? Why don't you talk about it? Shao Yifu was a little impatient.

"Boss Shao, don't be impatient, to be honest, my ideas are not very mature at present, and I have to imagine carefully before I can tell you."

"Okay then." Shao Yifu nodded helplessly, and suddenly said: "Shao heard that the scale of the Tang Dynasty cinema has increased to 38 now?" ”

"Boss Shao, your news is not very reliable, to be precise, now my Tang Dynasty Cinema Line has 39 theaters."

"Hey, if you don't accept it, you can't do it, Boss Gu. I think that in the heyday of my Shao's family, there were only 58 theaters. ”

Shao Yifu sighed, and changed his words: "But that is the scale of my Shao's development for many years, and now there are only 19 theaters left." But now your Tang Dynasty cinema has only developed for two or three years, and it has such a large scale. In the future, Boss Gu will dominate the Xiangjiang film industry, and that is just around the corner. ”

Gu Weiqi smiled and said, "It's hard to say." With Boss Shao, Fu Wenhuai and Lei Juekun, you senior tycoons, how easy is it to dominate the Xiangjiang film industry? ”

Shao Yifu waved his hand and said, "No, old man." Although we old guys are still there, our energy is not as good as that of you young people. The world of the future belongs to you young people. ”

"You are old men and have ambitions for thousands of miles. And I see that Shao Tycoon has a strong forehead, born with crane bones, this is the appearance of longevity, and there must be no problem in living more than a hundred years old. ”

Gu Weiqi continued: "Of course, I don't deny what you said about the future world of our young people. As the saying goes, there are talented people in the country, and a new generation is better than the old. But we young people still need you old-timers to take a ride, help you a ride, and give a ride. ”

"Hehe, no, when you're old, your mind doesn't turn as fast as you young people. Someone is waiting for your new script now. ”

"Don't worry, Boss Shao, I will get a new script soon, you can wait patiently. After all, you can't afford to make it in a hurry. Don't say it's you, even I don't allow you to get something that I can't do to fool you, right? ”

"That's right, I'm just looking at the momentum that Jiahe and Xin Yicheng made people anxious."

"Don't be in a hurry to get on the fire, it seems that they have made a lot of noise now. But no one knows what the outcome will be. Maybe they will lose all their money, and even if they don't hurt their muscles and bones, they will definitely not have a good time. ”

Shao Yifu thought about it, but he still said optimistically: "But what if they succeed?" ”

"That's nothing, even if it's a temporary success, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will be successful forever. Besides, I'm not a vegetarian either. For their new film, I already have a way to deal with it. In fact, even if I don't have to fight against them with new films, just a few films that are being filmed can completely stop the offensive of their big cast. ”

"Oh, you're so confident?"

"Of course. In this way, I would like to tell you that the boss of Shao, as far as our company is shooting, it is expected that several of them will not only get a good box office result in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Even if it is released in Europe and the United States, the box office revenue will definitely not be too bad. ”

Gu Weiqi said confidently: "After all, I know the script I made myself." But just to be sure, I decided to invest in a blockbuster film and run into them head-on when the time came. ”

Shao Yifu really wants to ask what kind of blockbuster film he decided to invest in? But knowing that this kid would definitely not speak, he couldn't help but be very depressed.

Suddenly, he had an idea, and he mentioned that there was something about lifting the ban on the Taiwan side, "I said Boss Gu, the film review on the Taiwan side hasn't embarrassed your company recently, right?" ”

Gu Weiqi shook his head and said: "I really don't know about this, because there was a disagreement with the previous filmmaker on the box office share." At present, the distribution company is in talks with the new film company on the box office sharing business. So the details are all in charge of the distribution company, and I usually don't bother with these details. ”

"Oh, do you want someone to help Boss Gu introduce a few filmmakers?"

"It doesn't have to be. The films produced by our Donglai company have always been of guaranteed quality, and they will make money once they are released in Taiwan. Now there are several film companies that want to cooperate with our company. But I still want to thank Boss Shao for his kindness. ”

Shao Yifu waved his hand and said, "Boss Gu doesn't have to be so polite, he is also a fellow of Xiangjiang." Besides, now we are also partners, and we should help. ”

"Boss Shao said this well, and in the future, I will have to trouble Boss Shao to help."

Gu Weiqi stood up and said, "Okay, Boss Shao, this tea has been drunk, the matter has been discussed, and the time is not early." Gu had some official business to deal with when he returned to the company, so he went back first. Another day, someone will invite you to tea. ”

"Okay, since Boss Gu is busy with official business, let's go back first."

So Gu Weiqi left the tea restaurant, and looked at the watch, the time was almost half past five, and the celebration dinner held by Debao was seven o'clock, and there was still an hour and a half. called Guan Zhilin and prepared to ask her to accompany him to the banquet. Although this woman likes money very much, she is still very beautiful. Let her accompany her to the banquet, she can still earn enough face for herself.

After the phone was connected, Guan Zhilin told him that he was at home, so Gu Weiqi asked Silly Leopard to pick her up.
