Chapter 713: The Establishment of Hong Kong Island Film and Television University (Part I)
Chapter 713 Founded Hong Kong Island Film and Television University
"I admit that the high-star system is right, but the point I'm talking about is not this" Lao Huang scratched his scalp and said with a wry smile, "This question should have been told to you by Adu, but since I have started, then I will make it clear."
"Dizzy, what do you mean by a sniper with a planer?" Lin Yu said very unhappily, "I have said a long time ago, if Hong Kong Island Movies wants to rely on me alone, it is absolutely impossible, you also know this...... Oops, okay, okay, just say what you have and make me angry."
"Hehe, your star's high-salary system has indeed left some filmmakers with good acting skills and great fame, but you don't know, as soon as you get it like this, the two divisions in Hong Kong Island movies are now very serious" Lao Huang pointed to the car behind him and said, "Look at it, even if you win the Oscar Zhang Suping this time, the value of him joining a movie is only less than 500,000, and female stars like Gong Li, who are between first-class and second-rate, are worth about 800,000, you say, is it fair to go on like this?" ”
"Oh? So what about the director who is the most valuable? Lin Yu's brows furrowed tightly, and he said, "The most brilliant thing about the movie is the actors and directors, and the others, including makeup artists and sound engineers, are all staff members who are not taken seriously, and it is normal that the price is not high, but the price is so low, it is really weird, a logistics worker who has won an international award is not even worth the value of a local second-rate actor, isn't that forcing them to go outside to mix?" ”
"The director is better, generally speaking, as long as a little famous director is worth more than 1 million, the value of international directors like Wang Jing and Johnny To is high" Lao Huang said with a smile, "In the past few days, Golden Harvest has been looking for Wang Jing, this kid to shoot a movie called "Extreme Bullet", the price is 4.5 million, and now this kid is thinking about it."
"Hehe, filmmakers make a lot of money, this is absolutely necessary," Lin Yu first affirmed this, and then said: "As for the other logistics staff, I haven't been able to increase their prices for the time being, what can you do?" ”
"Alas, this matter is really difficult to do" Lao Huang's hair didn't know how much he had lost for this matter, and shook his head and said: "Now the three film companies on Hong Kong Island are filming every day, but every day I have to worry about whether the next movie can invite the right photographer and makeup artist, no way, everyone is not happy, the slogan that people shout is why actors are so much more valuable than us?" Why is our top worker not as popular as a third-rate actor? …… Alas, I wanted to tell you these things for a long time, but I was afraid to disturb you, so I waited until now to say them."
"Well, this matter looks like it's time to be resolved," Lin Yu said, "I've actually thought about this day for a long time, hehe...... Oh, by the way, how are the studios on Hong Kong Island making this year? ”
"This is very good" Lao Huang was also very happy when he talked about this, and said with a red light on his face, "So far, the number of movies released on Hong Kong Island is 24, and there are also some on the street, but on the whole, every company has made a lot of money, like Golden Harvest's "Police Story", the box office in Asia is nearly 100 million, and their investment is only 8 million, and their "Flying Dragon Warrior" has also earned about 85 million, in short, whether it is Art City, Golden Harvest, or our Star Hong Kong Island Branch, everyone has made much more money than in previous years, hehe, rest assured, their two companies basically don't take out loans anymore now, and of course, they can't borrow for the time being when they have money."
"Okay, it's good to make money" Lin Yu clapped his hands and smiled: "Then I'm going to have a meeting with Zou Wenhuai and Mai Jia next."
"What are you doing in a meeting?" Lao Huang looked inexplicable and said, "They are busy now, the heads of the two families are basically dispatched, and there is basically no time for a day."
"How can I solve the problem without a meeting?" Lin Yu muttered, "For the development of Hong Kong Island films, the production fee of at least 10 million Hong Kong dollars I set last year is obviously not good, I have to raise the price, and I have to explain to them my intentions in doing this, I want them to willingly agree to increase the salary of logistics workers."
"I'm afraid it's not good to do that?" Lao Huang said worriedly, "Although we have a natural haven because the mainland film administration promised to open up the market, but because of the mainland's economic backwardness, many of our films have no way to be released, only in coastal cities and some major big cities, they are now thinking about how to raise money to go to the mainland to buy those dilapidated movie theaters, and then repair them to show them Now if you make them bleed, it's very difficult, I'm afraid even if you make a strong announcement, and they will hold a grudge."
"It's okay, hehe, if I don't do some things, it will be impossible to solve them in good words" Lin Yu clenched his fists and said resolutely, "I can make a phone call to talk to the mainland about this matter, if they allow it, I will spend my own money to set up a cinema company in the mainland, specializing in the acquisition of those dilapidated movie theaters, and at the same time vigorously build thousands of theaters while renovating, and strive to achieve the grand goal of holding 50,000 theaters in the world."
“5… 50,000? Lao Huang almost had a heart attack in fright, coughed a few times, and said with a flushed face, "We have about 8,000 now?" Including those that originally belonged to the Universal"
"It seems to be" Lin Yu recalled, "I hold 60% of the cinema chain on Hong Kong Island, and I have dozens of cinemas in Asia, South Korea, Japan, Treasure Island, and Canada, and then add it up, I basically control 8,000 of them, after all, there are 500 in the world."
"And how many more do you build? A movie theater has to spend 3 or 400,000 yuan to say the least? Besides, can you handle it? "Lao Huang is not worried that he will waste money, but he is afraid that he will not manage it well
"Specially hire someone to manage it, it's a big deal, I spend 1.8 million yuan a month to pay salaries to the people in my cinema," Lin Yu said very simply
"What about the accounts?" Lao Huang said worriedly, "Accounts are the key, can you know that they are not corrupt?" ”
"This ......" Lin Yu scratched his head and thought for a while, "Then what do you say?" ”
"Adopt the joint ticket sales method" Lao Huang has a lot of experience after all, and after a little thought, he has a way, and said, "The movie tickets are printed by a printing house, and then the ticket office is placed at the door of the movie theater, and two cameras are installed at the door, one shines on the ticket office, and the other looks at the main entrance, so that if anyone cheats to make money, we will know at most in a week"
"Isn't that going to find a group of people to watch these tapes?" Lin Yu suddenly felt that his head was big, and he pinched his fingers and said, "How many people do you have to invite?" ”
"No way, who makes people's hearts unpredictable?" Lao Huang said helplessly
"Well, that's it for the time being" Lin Yu had no choice but to do so now, but he thought in his heart, "When the computer age comes, then you don't have to watch the videotape, just sit in the Zhongyang monitoring room, and everything will be seen."
"Well, this problem is solved, I still have the most important question to discuss with you" Lao Huang changed his gloomy face again this time
"Say, say, I'll listen," Lin Yu looked like he was listening
"I feel the need to spend money to build a film and television university entirely for film," Lao Huang said his thoughts almost word for word
"Why?" Lin Yu's heart moved, but there was no expression on his face
"Just to cultivate some real high-quality film talents, and also to cultivate some latecomers who can take over" Lao Huang still kept a straight face, as if Lin Yu owed him money
"Hehe, we'll talk about this later, it's time for the company" Lin Yu looked out the window, and then pushed open the car door
"Boss, I won't go up" Eddie got out of the car and said, "In addition to reporting some work to you when I came to Hong Kong Island, in fact, the main thing is to prepare to look for branches on Hong Kong Island, Treasure Island, Japan, South Korea and other regions and countries, and now our Hong Kong Island branch is located in HSBC Building, a big signboard, you can see it from afar, and now I will go back to prepare to go to Treasure Island."
At present, there are more than a dozen banks in Lin Yuguang Bank, including banks in Asian countries such as Hong Kong Island, Japan, Treasure Island, mainland China, South Korea, as well as Europe and the United States, but Hong Kong Island Standard Chartered Bank, as the base camp of Lin Yu Bank, HSBC is the second bank in Lin Yu Bank
"Well, pay attention to safety, don't make yourself too tired" Lin Yu said to the driver, "Send Mr. Eddie to HSBC"
"This Eddie is really a practical talent, boss, I don't even know how you found him" Lao Huang watched Eddie walk away in the car, and couldn't help but smile and said
"Hehe, this is called personality charm" Lin Yu patted him, then turned back to the other people who got off the car and said, "Let's go, let's go up and have a good chat, I haven't had a meeting for a long time."
……
The current Star Building is still the same as before, and it hasn't changed much, at most it is a little busier, there are more cars parked in the yard, and everyone has more money
When everyone came to Lin Yu's original office, Lao Huang pushed open the door first, and a refreshing fragrance suddenly came to his face, not at all like the musty smell that has not been lived for several months
"That's good, I know how to clean the room for the boss" Lin Yu walked in with a smile, and Stephen Chow and Andy Lau naturally went back to busy their own affairs, so there were only six people left in the office: Lin Yu, Run Run Shaw, Zou Wenhuai, Huang Baiming, Du Qifeng and Lao Gu who had just arrived (to be continued)
