ps: I opened the page of the book today and looked at it, and found that Xiaolou had updated 100,000 words, at least three times a day, and unconsciously insisted on it for two weeks, but Xiaolou understood that all this was just the beginning. Be cheeky and ask for clicks, collections, and recommendations.

It's good to be happy that last week's new book was the best time to run to the seventh place on the list of new authors' new books, although this new author's new book list is not valuable, but it is also an honor, and it is not easy for a new book to run naked, I hope to make persistent efforts this week, and achieve better results.

There is another thing that makes Xiaolou feel refreshed today, that is, someone is finally willing to give a reward, I am really grateful to this book friend called "Hanfeng Picking the Moon", Xiaolou will work harder, and will bring you more exciting story content later.

Xu Guanwen saw that the three younger brothers were more satisfied with the remuneration given by Chen Shaoyi, and he was also relieved, and his face was full of smiles, "Chen Shaoyi gave our four brothers this one and a half million reward, in fact, there is another saying. ”

"What's that?" Xu Guanying asked curiously.

Xu Guanwen smiled at Xu Guanying: "Chen Shaoyi hopes that our remuneration of 150,000 yuan will be converted into the investment cost of "Modern Bodyguard", that is, it will account for 30% of the future income of "Modern Bodyguard", and he also agreed to give the copyright of "Modern Bodyguard" to our company, what do you think of this proposal?" ”

"Big brother, in this case, this "Modern Bodyguard" is also our company's work, Chen Shaoyi really has such a proposal?" Xu Guanying asked.

"Yes." Xu Guanwen agreed with Xu Guanying's statement.

Xu Guanjie was stunned for a moment, "Big brother, have you ever thought that the investment risk of five million is a bit big, and our reward of one and a half million may be ......?"

Xu Guanwen gave the other party a reassuring smile, "Ajie, first of all, if the box office is really not ideal, we still have the copyright of "Modern Bodyguard" as compensation, and we can make up for the loss from other aspects; Secondly, I don't think this "Modern Bodyguard" will lose to Chen Long's "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" at the box office, as long as it exceeds "Senior Brother Out of the Horse", even if the final share of the box office in Hong Kong is not enough for the investment cost, but the film will go around in other cities, and all the losses can be compensated for at that time, and even make a lot of money. ”

Xu Guanwen talked about the fun, and even said the matter of raising ticket prices that Chen Shaoyi considered.

"Big brother, after you say this, I feel that this "Modern Bodyguard" is becoming more and more interesting." Hui was also clearly attracted by the prospect that Hui portrayed.

Xu Guanwen continued: "Actually, I was also surprised when Chen Shaoyi said that he wanted to invest 5 million in this "Modern Bodyguard", but after carefully studying the script, I found that there are really a lot of big scenes in the play, plus the high remuneration of our brothers, the investment of 5 million is indeed not much; Even if we buy the script and shoot it ourselves, we will have to invest so much cost, and obviously we will be more risky at that time. ”

When Xu Guanwen said this, he suddenly sighed, "Now the prices in Hong Kong are getting higher and higher, and those of us who make movies, the cost of investing in a movie is also getting bigger and bigger, and it is no longer the era when one million was the sky-high investment cost in the past, and now this million is not enough for the remuneration of our brothers." Of course, the value of other actors in Hong Kong is also rising, I think in two years, let alone 5 million, even if the investment cost of 10 million for a film is still daring. We can't stop making movies because of the high investment cost of films, I think my brothers will have to drink the northwest wind, and Applejack may be better, at least she can sing. ”

Xu Guanjie was said by Xu Guanwen who didn't know whether to praise or joke, so he laughed bitterly twice.

Xu Guanwen ignored Xu Guanjie's embarrassed laughter, and said with a distant gaze: "So after entering the 80s, Hong Kong's film industry will enter the fast lane, which is predictable." And we have to adapt to this era in the midst of it, or we will be eliminated. Now Chen Shaoyi's proposal has given me a good inspiration, that is, since high-cost films are inevitable, why can't we co-invest? ”

"Co-investment? Big brother, do you mean ......," Xu Guanwu said in surprise.

Xu Guanwen straightened the black-edged frame, and Sven smiled: "Ah Wu, you guessed right, just like this time the investment in "Modern Bodyguard" will have a high amount of five million. Even without Chen Shaoyi, it is very likely that we will not read the power investment, but choose to invest with Golden Harvest. No matter how good "Modern Bodyguard" is said and how attractive the prospect is, before the film is released, everything is zero, and everything can happen. No one can guarantee that the box office will reach the heights we have in mind, and it is also possible that the box office will fail miserably in the end and be out of control. When the time comes, if we lose these five million, our Xu Brothers company will definitely be hit hard. Therefore, everyone bears the high cost of film investment, shares the risk of the market, and of course, when the box office is high, everyone also shares huge profits. I think this kind of thing is the mainstream investment in the Hong Kong film industry in the future, and with this cooperation with Chen Shaoyi, I just want to test whether this is good or not, and whether it can really achieve what I said. ”

Xu Guanwu listened to every word of Xu Guanwen into his stomach, carefully tasted Xu Guanwen's thoughts, and suddenly opened up in his heart, feeling that Xu Guanwen's thoughts were too correct.

Xu Guanwu said excitedly: "Big brother, what you said is very right. That's right, investing in a movie is getting higher and higher, and there is a big risk if we invest alone, and if one is not good, it may cause the company that our brothers have worked so hard to build go bankrupt. Now every step we take is like a fish out of water, so we have to be more cautious so as not to fall into a point of no return. In my opinion, the joint investment you mentioned is indeed inevitable, although this is likely to make our company's profitability in a film decline, but because it avoids risks and improves the company's viability, it is still very necessary; And because of some investment saved, we can invest in more movies. So overall, the company's profitability will not decline too much, and may increase, which is really beneficial and harmless, and it will not lose money. ”

In fact, in his previous life, Xu Guanwen dared to invest so much money in the filming of "Modern Bodyguard", also because of his cooperation with Golden Harvest. And on the one hand, Xu Guanwen felt that the Hong Kong box office market at that time was mature, and there was a great possibility of getting a high box office; On the other hand, Xu Guanwen had not made representative works for two years at that time, but his old rival Chen Long won high box office one after another, which stimulated him. In the end, Xu Guanwen sharpened his sword for three years, wrote this "Modern Bodyguard" with tears of heart and blood, and directed and acted by himself, which was a success.

In this time and space, Xu Guanwen was stimulated by Chen Shaoyi in advance, and "Modern Bodyguard" was also born in advance, and Xu Guanwen made up his mind to do a big job.

"Well, second brother, you're right, that's what I think; So when I came back, I had already told Chen Shaoyi that I had agreed to his proposal to use the salary as a revenue share, and the two sides jointly produced this "Modern Bodyguard". Xu Guanwen nodded in praise, then turned his head to Xu Guanying and Xu Guanjie and asked, "A-Ying, Ajie, what about the two of you?" Are you ready to support Chen Shaoyi's proposal like your eldest brother? ”

Xu Guanying stood up, "The eldest brother and the second brother have analyzed so much, this is also something that is beneficial to the company, how can I object, I support the eldest brother." ”

After Xu Guanying agreed, everyone turned their eyes to Xu Guanjie, who had not yet spoken, Xu Guanjie looked at everyone, shrugged and smiled: "Why are everyone looking at me like this?" Since everyone agrees, how can I, the younger brother of others, oppose it, and I also support the eldest brother. ”

"Okay, now that everyone agrees, let's do a good job this time, make this "Modern Bodyguard" the best, pull down Chen Long's "Senior Brother Out of the Horse", let his box office record that has not yet been covered by heat become obsolete, and let us dominate the box office list by ourselves." Xu Guanwen saw that his younger brothers were all supporting him, and with the help of his brothers, what else was there to be afraid of, so he laughed arrogantly.

"Yes, our four brothers work together, and their profits are cut off, demons are eliminated, and the country is defended."
