Chapter 243 Prelude to the Killing
"Okay." After thinking about it again, Hong Jinbao gritted his teeth and said: "I'll listen to you, cooperate with your brother, and start this new company." ”
"That's for the best."
Gu Weiqi nodded with a smile on his face, and suddenly said solemnly: "I believe this is your wise choice, Brother Hong." However, as the saying goes, brothers settle accounts, and we still have to discuss the distribution of this share. I'll give you a low here, Chen Xunqi and Lin Zhenying are in Donglai Company, and the shares I give them are one percent. ”
"One percent makes that much money a year? Donglai's profit is really amazing. Hong Jinbao sighed secretly in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "What about the new company, how many shares do you think I can take?" ”
Gu Weiqi groaned: "How can you say it, Brother Hong, if you give too many shares, the people in my Donglai Company will definitely have opinions at that time, and it is not appropriate to give you less." To be honest, I'm embarrassed, so I have a proposal, Brother Hong, you can listen to it, and then make a decision. ”
"Okay, tell me about it? I'll listen. ”
"In the case of a new company, I can give you ten percent of the shares."
Gu Weiqi said slowly: "If you shoot three films a year, the operation is good, and according to the distribution channels and network I have in my hands, it is estimated that it should not be a big problem to make six or seven billion Hong Kong dollars." If you calculate it in this way, it means that Brother Hong, you can get a profit of sixty or seventy million per year. Of course, if you give you 10% of the shares, it's a bit small, even if you don't say it, Brother Hong, I won't be able to do it. ”
Hong Jinbao smiled and did not speak. However, he believes that cooperating with Gu Weiqi, according to the other party's character, will definitely not cheat him.
Sure enough, Gu Weiqi continued: "But business rules business, friendship is friendship, one yard is one yard." Therefore, I have a compromise solution, that is, Brother Hong, you directly join my Donglai company, and I will give you one percent of the shares, so that you can also get no less than sixty or seventy million profit dividends every year. I don't know what you think, Brother Hong? ”
"Sixty or seventy million?" Hong Jinbao touched his chin, knowing that Gu Weiqi had already given him a lot.
You must know that Chen Xunqi and Lin Zhenying have been following him for two or three years, and they only took one percent of the shares of Donglai Company, and he can get one percent of the shares immediately after joining now, which is largely due to the fact that the two have a good relationship. Of course, Hong Jinbao's strength in the film industry is also worth this share.
It can be said that Gu Weiqi is definitely benevolent enough. You must know that he has been busy in Jiahe for so many years and has not made so much money. But now Gu Weiqi promised him that he would make more money in a year than he had earned in so many years, and this condition was definitely good enough.
Of course, he can also choose to cooperate with Gu Weiqi to start a company. But 10 percent of the shares is a bit too little for him. However, considering that if he asks for too many shares, then if Gu Weiqi does not support it vigorously, maybe the new company will not make money and will lose money.
After thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate to join Donglai Company directly. Get one percent of the shares, and pay dividends directly at the end of the year, so you don't have to worry so much about it. If you start a new company, you have to spend a lot of effort to manage, and no one can guarantee that it will definitely make money. After all, any investment is risky.
And Gu Weiqi feels that Hong Jinbao is undoubtedly wasting talents as a manager, in fact, his biggest advantage is directing and starring in movies. Of course, Gu Weiqi also has a selfish motive, that is, he doesn't want to have another "Debao" film company, but wants to have just the right resources, and then make reasonable use of these resources, instead of letting these talents go their own way.
In this way, if the resources are integrated together, everyone works together, and the strength is in one place, then Xiangjiang Film will definitely not decline again. In this way, you can really compete with the major Hollywood studios. Otherwise, if you run a company, I will build a company, and everyone will only care about intrigue and fight for their own interests, which is invisibly a great internal friction.
This is undoubtedly very unfavorable to Gu Weiqi's ambitions, so he said this proposal for Hong Jinbao to choose.
In fact, Hong Jinbao was also a little conflicted in his heart, but after thinking about it, he still chose Gu Weiqi's second proposal and joined Donglai Company directly.
Gu Weiqi was overjoyed when he heard this, and the general matter was decided, and the next thing was the details. This promised Hong Jinbao's brothers Gu Weiqi that in addition to the basic annual salary of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, there is also a generous salary and bonus bonuses. For Dragon and Tiger martial artists, the basic salary can be appropriately raised to a fixed salary of about 100,000.
Of course, those people must sign the contract to the "China Entertainment International Superstar Entertainment Agency". In addition, Gu Weiqi also mentioned to Hong Jinbao about the life insurance of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Artist, as well as the future career planning, including the pension, pension insurance system and other aspects, and the welfare of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts will be gradually improved in the future.
Hong Jinbao smiled when he heard this, and nodded again and again. In fact, many of his Dragon and Tiger Martial Artists are injured every year, and some are even directly disabled. For example, martial arts stars such as Li Lianjie and Cheng Throat seem to be beautiful on the surface, but in fact, everyone has the experience of being injured.
The benefits mentioned by Gu Weiqi are aimed at the Dragon and Tiger Martial Artists. At present, the status of dragon and tiger martial artists in the Xiangjiang film and television industry is very embarrassing, as if some people are injured as if they are commonplace, and some are crippled. If you're unlucky, you can even hang up. If he really realizes all of this, then he can be regarded as worthy of his brothers who eat with him.
After talking about business, Hong Jinbao said again: "Now that Debao can't go on anymore, do you see if Chen Jianxun can also be arranged to join Donglai Company?" ”
In fact, Gu Weiqi knew that Chen Jianxun was a talent, but unfortunately this person had a serious tendency to correct governance, and even was blacklisted by the mainland political axe in the original time and space, so he had to immigrate abroad before the return of Xiangjiang. Such a person who is busy smearing the political axe of the mainland all day long will not use it even if he is a talent. Unless the brain is flooded.
So when Hong Jinbao asked him, he shook his head very dryly and said, "I'm sorry Brother Hong, it's not that my brother doesn't sell you face." I really don't want to cause this kind of trouble, you have to know that we are engaged in a film company, not a real customer. In fact, not to mention Chen Jianxun, anyone who has a tendency to correct governance will not be hired by our Donglai Company, so as not to provoke fire. ”
Hong Jinbao sighed, he knew that Gu Weiqi was telling the truth, so he had to give up. Then he talked to Gu Weiqi about the new film he would shoot after joining Donglai Company.
Gu Weiqi originally wanted to tell him the second part of the "Fuxing" series, but then he thought that the interval between this film was not too long, and filming in such a hurry was tantamount to killing chickens and eggs. He told him the general plot of the action movie "Flying Dragon General" produced by Jiahe Company in the original time and space, directed by him and Yuan Kui, and released in 1988.
The film is an action film starring the three brothers Hong Jinbao, Cheng Zhi and Yuan Biao, as well as Yang Baoling, Ye Dexian, Yuan Hao, Zhou Quan, Di Wei, Binnie Yuquedez, etc., mainly about Fahrenheit's use of a chemical raw material factory to cover the production of drugs, and the wastewater discharged from the factory polluted Ye Dexian's fishing grounds, so he went to court.
Cheng Throat was employed by Fahrenheit Enterprises, and he took the opportunity to pursue Ye's cousin Yang Baoling while handling the case. On the other hand, the agent Hong Jinbao was hired to buy the fishing ground and deliberately moved next door to the Ye family in order to pursue Ye near the water, while Yuan Biao played the psychopath of the night thief, who caused a series of disputes with Cheng and Hong because he infiltrated the Ye family to install a wiretap.
However, just before the acquisition of the fishery was completed, Feihong discovered the secret of the chemical raw material factory's drug production and was killed, putting John in danger, which led to a series of thrilling fights. In the end, of course, it is the decency that defeats the villain. But in addition to the wonderful capital, this movie also has a lot of jokes, which is also an indispensable film element in the glorious era of Hong Kong films.
The biggest feature of the film is that it uses a lot of romantic comedy pickle girls to dilute the masculinity of the throat movie. But it will also make the audience feel that this film is a bit jerky. But the film still maintains the usual high standard of 80s films, with exciting fights and humorous plots, all of which are enough to make the audience willing to go into the theater to watch it.
As soon as the film was launched, it sat firmly in the vanguard of the golden position, and when it was painted, it received 30 million directly, becoming the runner-up film in the total box office ranking that year. The family class was nominated for Best Action Design at the Hong Kong Film Awards for this film. Overall, this is a good action movie, and I believe that with Hong Jinbao's rich film experience, there is absolutely no problem with him shooting.
As Gu Weiqi told the story, after Hong Jinbao listened to it, he praised this story again and again, which sounded really good.
However, because the script has not yet been made, the actors cannot be determined for the time being. But Gu Weiqi told him that he would get this script out as soon as possible.
The next day, the newspaper reported on the premiere of "The Barefoot Kid", and both critics and media reporters basically praised the film, which was released ten years in advance. Of course, there are also nitpickers who say that there is nothing eye-catching about this film. But it is precisely because of the hype of media people that this film has become popular.
All of a sudden, the attendance was increasing.
The tycoon is smiling all day long, but this film does not have much impact on the "fast food truck" being released in Tang Dynasty theaters. After all, the genre of the two films is different. One is a martial arts film, the other is a fashion action movie, and most of the audience watched this one and then that one.
But it made Jiahe and Princess Jin cinemas miserable.
At that time, Jiahe released the low-budget film "Sandwich Sand Exhibition", while the Golden Princess released "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" starring Lin Zhixiang, Teddy Luobing, Zeng Zhiwei and Ye Qianwen, this film is purely a product of the "butterfly effect". However, it was released for a week last week, but it got a box office of more than 7 million, and the attendance rate was quite impressive.
The "Sandwich Sand Exhibition" released by Jiahe is purely a film that makes up the schedule, because the sequels to "Modern Bodyguard" and "Plan A" that Jiahe is filming are still being filmed, and naturally the theater cannot be left idle when there is no film to be released. However, because this film is average, the attendance rate has not been very high, but it can basically maintain the operating costs of the theater.
However, with the release of "Barefoot Kid", the attendance rate of the film suddenly dropped sharply, and even the attendance rate of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" has dropped to a certain extent. Angry Dejia and the boss Wrinkled Wenhuai and Princess Jin's Lei tycoon scolded his mother, Shao Yifu and Gu Weiqi joined hands to do this, making it clear that they wanted to fight with them.
But they also had to take the call, but there was no blockbuster in their hands, and they couldn't withstand the impact of the "barefoot boy" grabbing the audience. Fortunately, the film planned by the company is now being filmed, and although I am a little anxious, it is still stable. But thinking of the seven films being filmed by Donglai Company, the two tycoons feel a little like they are on pins and needles.
It must be known that the script ideas of the seven films being filmed by Donglai Company are all from Gu Weiqi, and Boss Gu is known as the "gold medal screenwriter". It is conceivable that when the film shot by Donglai Company is released, they will definitely be defeated. In fact, they can't stand the "fast food truck" that is being released now. This made them sigh secretly, it was really a headache to meet Gu Weiqi, a movie genius.
Therefore, in addition to the films being filmed, they held a meeting with the company's senior management, asking the planning department to plan another blockbuster no matter what, in order to cope with the seven films that Donglai Company was about to shoot. Otherwise, in the long run, I am afraid that both Jiahe and Xinyi Chengdu will be squeezed into no room for survival.
At this time, Gu Weiqi, the initiator of Wrinkle Wenhuai and Lei Juekun's headache, was holding Zhong Chuhong's small waist, enjoying a delicious breakfast of bread, milk, fried steak, etc. The two of you and I are nong, and they don't forget to linger after breakfast, and the glue-like strength makes the security guards who are patrolling the safety of the villa outside envious.
And at this moment, at the Kai Tak Airport in Xiangjiang, a passenger plane flying from the United States slowly landed safely.
Banchar and Helen, who had been waiting in the reception hall for a long time, were both wearing a pair of sunglasses at this time, and they were looking towards the passenger mouth with their necks stretched. Yesterday, Philian Wharton's butler, Edward Sr., called them and informed them that the two additional abilities that Fellian had assigned to them, Taro Nakamura and Sophia Alexander, would arrive on a flight to Xiangjiang today.
Banchar and Hailin, who have been killers in the "Killer Alliance" for a long time, have heard of the daimyo of Taro Nakamura and Sophia, both of whom are elite killers of the "Killer Alliance". In particular, the two of them not only have "water" and "fire" abilities, but the former can also call the mysterious magic of the "Truth Cult", while the latter is also extraordinary, and can also hypnotize, which can be said to be very headache killers.
Not only do they have a lot of fame in the "Killer Alliance", but even in the world of abilities, they are the best among them. Once any target is targeted by them, it is almost equivalent to being targeted by death, because they have a lot of murder tricks and experience. Often, the target doesn't know what's going on, and they kill it.
Hearing that these two evil gods were coming, Banchar and Hailin naturally did not dare to slack off. In fact, they are also the best in the "Killer Alliance", the former will have "wind ability", and the latter will have "qi ability", one can manipulate the wind, and the other can control qi. However, they have always been relatively low-key, and they will not come out to carry out tasks under normal circumstances.
But Wharton-Tang Moyun is the son of Fei Lian, and Fei Lian attaches great importance to the disappearance of his son, or death to be precise. That's why they're sent to investigate this. However, the two of them have always been very cautious in doing things, and when they were not sure how to deal with Gu Weiqi, they asked Fei Lian for support. It can also be said that they are self-aware.
Because the two of them alone really can't deal with Gu Weiqi, at least they don't pose a threat to his safety.
After the current Gu Weiqi's genetic mutation, he is simply equivalent to a humanoid monster, once his anger is aroused, then it is definitely not a joke.
Just as Banchar and Helen were about to look through it, two men and women wearing sunglasses walked up to them.
The two glanced at each other, then greeted them, stretched out their hands and smiled: "Hi, Mr. Nakamura, Miss Sophia, welcome to Xiangjiang." ”
Taro Nakamura and Sophia Alexander took off their glasses and nodded, shook hands with them and said hello.
I saw that this Nakamura Taro was a middle-aged man with a short figure, wearing a well-cut black suit, the leather shoes on his feet were clear and shiny, and his thick hair stood up like a hedgehog, but there was nothing unusual about his appearance. But a pair of narrow eyes are very eye-catching, especially his gaze is unusually sharp, which is completely different from the eyes of ordinary people, revealing a majestic and solemn atmosphere, which makes people can't help but feel cold when they look at him.
Sophia, on the other hand, was a white woman in her thirties, plump in a tight white tunic and a string of gold chains around her neck, dressed like a noblewoman. However, her figure was a little bloated, especially the two breasts on her chest, which were wrapped in a tight tunic skirt, and she was fully propped up, and a deep furrow could be seen from the neckline.
However, although this woman is dressed luxuriously, her appearance is very ordinary. However, her eyes are the same as cat's eyes, especially the brown color of the two pupils when looking at people, which makes people look uncomfortable.
At this time, there were many people in the hall, and there were already many foreigners in Xiangjiang, but no one paid attention to them.
In fact, the four of them didn't stay long, said hello to each other, and walked out of the hall to the car outside.
Banchar acted as a makeshift driver and quickly left the airport with several people in tow.
On the way, Taro Nakamura asked in a hoarse English, "Is the target's situation clear?" ”
"Well, it's basically been investigated." Hailin nodded, took out a notebook from the bag she was carrying, and put it in front of Taro Nakamura and said, "This is the information of the target, you can take a look at it first." ”
"Oh." Taro Nakamura took it and looked at it carefully, then handed the notebook to Sophia's hand.
Sophia saw it relatively quickly, and after reading it, she sent the notebook to Hailin again, and then looked at Taro Nakamura and said, "Taro Nakamura, what do you think?" ”
"Judging from the information, this person is not simple. To be able to create such a large fortune in just a few years at such a young age is absolutely not something that ordinary people can do. ”
Nakamura Taro then changed his words and said: "But no matter what, he is just an ordinary man, and compared to our abilities, he is also like an ant. I thought this man was great, but now it seems that he is nothing more than that. I don't think it's hard to deal with, and if the data is correct, I'm 90% sure that I can kill him head-on. ”
"I don't see it that way."
Sophia shook her head and said solemnly: "If Young Master Mo Yun really died at the hands of this person, then his force value and combat effectiveness may not be as simple as they appear on the surface. To be on the safe side, why don't I test it out and say, what do you think? ”
Nakamura Taro thought about it, and then bowed his head and said, "It's okay, but since you think this person is not simple, then let's go together." I'll help you by the side, Banchar and Helin, and you will follow with you, and if we have the chance, we will rush up and kill him, and then we can go back to our master." ”
"It's the best arrangement to make sure nothing goes wrong." Sophia then said, "For the sake of long nights and dreams, I think we can rest for a while and start the action at night, right?" ”
"As you wish." Taro Nakamura nodded, then leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed and fell asleep.
