Chapter 105: How should cinemas develop?

Chen Bosen nodded helplessly and said: "Wrinkle Huai insists that the film distribution will be done by Golden Harvest, and the films needed by Wanda Cinema in the future will be provided by Golden Harvest." ”

"Ant Shake Tree, how could this wrinkled person be so stubborn, doesn't he know that Ambrera can completely get rid of them and do it alone? The film distribution rights of an independent film production company, does he think that he wants to control Wanda Cinemas just by virtue of this? Ridiculous. "Ling Shizhe didn't know what medicine to sell in Wrinkle Huai Gourd, but he thought that Wrinkle Huai should know that it was impossible for us to agree to him.

Chen Bosen has another opinion, explaining: "I don't understand why Wrinkles is so insistent on it, I think it will be because of the quality of the film? ”

"How?"

"Boss, do you think, if the theater wants to release movies to attract people to the cinema for consumption, in addition to the source of the film, the film must also be popular with the audience, what is the quality of those independent films, can it catch up with the films made by Bruce Lee of Golden Harvest?"

Ling Shizhe suddenly felt a burst of amusement, just with a Bruce Lee movie blockbuster wanted to control him Ling Shizhe's Wanda Cinema Line, wrinkled Huai inevitably looked too highly of himself, thought about it and said: "Forget it, let's not talk to him, a small Golden Harvest, two or three big cats and kittens, whether the total assets add up to 10 million or not has to be a question mark, Lao Tzu is millions of dollars a minute, he finds it himself and wants us to invest, I am willing to promise him to be regarded as lifting him, he actually plays tricks on me, forget it any way he plays." We ignore him and plan according to our own will. ”

Chen Bosen was silent, Ling Shizhe saw his reluctance, a ghost fire rose in his heart, and he stared at him coldly and said: "Why, I'm not happy, I think I'll be finished without Jiahe, tell you Chen Bosen, see clearly what your identity is, Ambrera Company is an international large company with an annual production and sales value of more than 10 billion US dollars, Wanda Cinemas is a huge golden egg enterprise for Shaw Brothers and an ant company like Jiahe, but in my eyes, Wanda is just like that, He wrinkled this kind of ant in front of the elephant is really not enough for me to see, less TM looks reluctant, he Zou Wenhuai is unwilling to distribute the third-party film, then I will do it myself, tomorrow I will develop the development project, tell those third parties, Wanda Cinema has 175 theaters in North America, if they want to release their films throughout Southeast Asia, Japan and the United States, they must hand over the film to us to distribute understand? Just tell them so. ”

Chen Bosen was taken aback, knowing that the hesitation just now had angered Ling Shizhe, what kind of person was this lord in front of him, he was not Ling Shirong but the **oss of Ambrera Company, the person who sneezed the stock market on Wall Street and trembled, he was a real international predator, but not as small as his second brother Ling Shirong, how could such a person be subject to others, a company like Jiahe Shaw was tied together without a single hair, how could Ling Shizhe put the wrinkles in his heart, and if he provoked it, he would run over it directly, and Jiahe had only a dead end.

Thinking of this, Chen Bosen couldn't wait to give himself a big slap in the face, what do you say Chen Bosen are doing, what is this master going to do, you can do what you do as he says, what are you doing in front of him, aren't you looking for death? I, Chen Bosen, am just a small theater manager, and Ambrera Company can twist one out at will, and his status is much higher than mine, not to mention the big Buddha in front of him, who can talk directly to Ling Shizhe, his ancestors are all smoking, but I don't know how to handle it in front of him...... Hey, it looks like I'm still not in the right place; Chen Bosen even regretted his intestines.

Although Chen Bosen thought a lot, he reacted in a distracted thought, his brain reacted quickly, he immediately stood up, re-straightened his mentality, and said respectfully to Ling Shizhe: "Boss, I didn't mean that just now, I was thinking that Golden Harvest dared to be so ignorant because he had Bruce Lee in his hand, I was thinking that there was no possibility of poaching him, didn't he always want to enter Hollywood, boss, you have a North American theater chain, I think he should have something to consider, right?" ”

Ling Shizhe looked at him silently, how could he not see that Chen Bosen's words just now were completely wrong, obviously Chen Bosen had not adapted to his position, he still treated him the same way he treated his second brother before, but could he have the same status as Ling Shirong? The status of the two is really too different, looking at him standing there with his head bowed respectfully, he didn't dare to come out, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, it seemed that he understood his position.

It's good to get it, I don't have a next time.

Seeing that he was almost scared, Ling Shizhe didn't let him sit down again, the old god sat on the sofa and said, "Oh, dig here, how do you dig it?" His film company has become with the support of Wrinkle Arms, how do you dig? Also, Bruce Lee is such an arrogant person who has always wanted to break into the mainstream of Hollywood, will he look up to my non-mainstream theaters in the non-mainstream? ”

"This ......" a series of questions were thrown out and Chen Bosen was completely stunned, Ling Shizhe is not talking nonsense, he has seen too much research reports related to Bruce Lee in his previous life, although he has not seen this person in this era, but looking at some related reports on Bruce Lee in the entertainment version of the news, Ling Shizhe is completely sure that the experts in his previous life did not talk nonsense about his related research, Bruce Lee is such an arrogant person, which has a lot to do with the environment of the times he came from.

Bruce Lee grew up in Hong Kong and later went to the United States, from the 50s to the 70s, both in Hong Kong and in the United States was the era when Chinese were most bullied by whites, the sick man of East Asia was the code name of Chinese and overseas Chinese, calling the sick man of East Asia is the same reason as a white person calling the Inuit living in the Arctic Circle as an Eskimo, it is all discrimination and contempt for the yellow race, and it is Chinese to look down on it from the bottom of their bones.

Bruce Lee grew up in such an environment, he was bullied by the British since he was a child in Hong Kong, and after arriving in the United States, he was bullied by white Americans, and even black Americans and Indian Ah San had to bully him. Bruce Lee has a strong self-esteem and can't stand the discrimination of white people, so he has been determined to get ahead since he was a child, so that white people can afford him and respect him.

In order not to be bullied by white people, he practiced martial arts from below, and in order to be respected by white people, he was determined to enter Hollywood in the hope of being able to enter the mainstream of the United States. Now Wrinkle Huai has paid for him to set up a film company, and strongly supports him to enter Hollywood, so he will not leave Golden Harvest, and Chen Bosen will not be able to dig him up at all, so Ling Shizhe has never had the idea of beating Bruce Lee from beginning to end, if you dig it for nothing, even if Ling Shizhe goes in person, it will be for nothing, maybe people will mock him, why bother to be bored.

Chen Bosen also thought of this, but he offended his boss before, and now he wants to try his best to save his position in the eyes of the boss, and quickly turns his brain and thinks of other ways, and Chen Bosen said: "Yes, boss, although Bruce Lee can't dig it up, but there are other people, there are two people, the reputation of the two of them is not under Bruce Lee, they are now falling out with the Shaw Brothers, and they have set up their own film company, if the boss can dig him up, our theater will not worry about no good films." ”

"Oh, who is it? Those two? There are still such people in Hong Kong. Ling Shizhe was very unexpected, he was not familiar with Hong Kong's film and television stars in the seventies, he saw many online entertainment novels in his previous life, and most of the Hong Kong stars written were stars in the first ten years, and he knew four Hong Kong and Taiwan stars in the seventies, the first was Bruce Lee, the second was Pan Yingzi in Hong Kong, the third was Lin Qingxia in Taiwan/Bay, and the fourth was Lin Fengjiao, the famous sister-in-law Lin Fengjiao, who debuted and became famous in the seventies, and he didn't know any of the other stars who became famous in the seventies.

Among these four people, Bruce Lee doesn't want to think about it, and the other three are all women, except for Pan Yingzi, who was born as a child star and became famous earlier, the other two people are not too late to make their debut according to time, but these two people have just debuted, and their acting experience is still very shallow, and they can't be compared with the previous two people at present, is Chen Bosen talking about Pan Yingzi? She is only about 20 years old now, and she terminated her contract with Shaw Brothers last year, and I heard that she went to Taiwan/Bay to develop, and made a lot of martial arts films and love action movies, oh no, it's a romantic literary film.

Could it be that Chen Bosen meant to poach Pan Yingzi to make a Qiong Yao-style romance film? Hell, this kind of film is just to be put on Taiwan/Bay, who will watch it when it is taken to Chinatown? Although she is very famous, compared to Bruce Lee, she is too much worse.

Chen Bosen didn't let him wait too long, and said the answer: "The boss, these two people are a brother Xu Guanjie, and the other is a famous director named Li Hanxiang. ”

Ling Shizhe tapped the sofa with his right hand, and said in his heart: "How can I forget these two people, who are the most famous stars in Hong Kong in the entire seventies?" Of course, it is Bruce Lee and Xu Guanjie, although Bruce Lee's fame is much greater than Xu Guanjie, but he died young, after his death, the most famous star in Hong Kong in the seventies is the Xu Guanjie brothers, their brothers are not only very popular in the seventies, even the rise of Jackie Chan in the eighties can not suppress the light of their two brothers, until the rise of Stephen Chow in the nineties to cover up their light, if you can cooperate with the Xu Guanjie brothers, Wanda Cinemas why worry about no good films to show, why worry about not making money, Especially their sneering satirical comedies, even Hollywood has a lot of fans, and the Xu brothers definitely meet Wanda's development requirements.

As for the other Li Hanxiang, Ling Shizhe is very familiar with it, his historical films such as "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" have always been unsurpassable classics, this film not only has a lofty status in Asia, but even Hollywood was shocked by this movie, but unfortunately he only made two historical films and was banned by the mainland, otherwise all the historical blockbusters in his mind will be filmed, how many classics will remain in the world!

Ling Shizhe opened his mouth and said: "You said that these two people are very good, but they both have their own film companies, can you dig them?" ”

Chen Bosen said with a smile: "Boss, you can't dig it up, but they can't always make movies with their own money, they have to invest, for example, this Li Hanxiang, who fell out with Shaw Brothers in the sixties, went to Taiwan/Bay to build his own film company to make movies, his company lived for a while, but he made movies that a big guy didn't like it, so he falsely accused Li Hanxiang to the presidential palace that his films reflected the current president, and its structure was blocked by the Taiwan authorities, and his film company went bankrupt. returned to Hong Kong Shaw Brothers to ask Shaw to take him in, but unfortunately Shaw Brothers encountered a financial crisis in 68 years, Shaw Brothers themselves lived like a year, where there was money to make movies, so in recent years, Li Hanxiang has made several Fengyue films for Shaw Brothers, and now Shaw Brothers has recovered, Li Hanxiang proposed to Shaw to make a historical feature film, but Shaw did not agree. ”

"This is a very good historical film, China has 5,000 years of history and culture, and there are many popular historical allusions and historical stories, and there must be many people who like it when it is filmed, why doesn't Run Run Shaw agree?" Ling Shizhe asked strangely, in his consciousness, Li Hanxiang's historical feature films are all classics, even if they are placed in the Oscars, they can win the Best Oscar Foreign Language Film trophy, these films are all films with a good reputation and box office, and it is too strange that Run Run Shaw does not shoot them.

"Huh...... Scold...... Heh," Chen Bosen smiled and said: "This Li Hanxiang has two characteristics of making movies, the first is that the investment in the films he makes is very large, and Run Run Shaw is a miser who is very picky, of course he refuses to invest in him." Second, no matter what movie Li Hanxiang makes, he treats the movie as a literary film, and it is very slow in speed, of course Run Run Shaw doesn't like it, in fact, he fell out with Run Run Shaw a few years ago, and now he has been banned by the Taiwan authorities, and Run Run Shaw is even more afraid to invest in him. ”

"Okay, you go to Li Hanxiang and say that I am willing to invest in him to make a historical feature film, um...... Within 10 million Hong Kong films, he asked him to go directly to Xiaoyun, and more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars must have my signature. Ling Shizhe said categorically.

"10 million Hong Kong dollars to make a movie and it is also a historical feature film, how can there be such an investment, Golden Harvest invested in Bruce Lee's "Tangshan Big Brother", including the publicity fee, a total of only 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, 10 million Hong Kong films to make a movie for him, the boss can't shoot like this, this will be a loss." Chen Bosen was startled and exclaimed, he thought that Ling Shizhe, the boss, was a complete layman, and making movies was completely blind investment and foolishness. "You don't talk nonsense, you just tell him that." Ling Shizhe ignored him, he didn't know that it was too appalling to invest 10 million in making a movie in this era, but Li Hanxiang was definitely worth investing such a large amount of money, with North American theaters, he would not lose, in the memory of his previous life In the mid-nineties, China Film sold Li Hanxiang's historical feature film to a Hollywood distribution company for 50,000 US dollars, and after this distribution company took Li Hanxiang's film to North America for screening, it was a sensation, and the film company ate that called a fat, The success of Li Hanxiang's film in Hollywood directly prompted the filming of Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" later.

Why don't you invest in a movie that doesn't make money? And in history, Li Hanxiang's movies were limited by too backward shooting equipment, so that the picture quality of the film was not well improved, it can not be said that it is a pity, if he gave Li Hanxiang the top Hollywood film shooting equipment, what would happen to his movie, Ling Shizhe was a little excited when he thought about it.
