078 Xinbao Cinema Line
In front of Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda are two contracts, both of which are ministerial contracts, except that Wu Mengda's salary is tens of thousands of yuan higher than Zhou Xingchi's, there is no difference from the regular contract.
Wu Mengda glanced at it twice and signed the contract directly, while Zhou Xingchi looked left and right, and signed it after a long time.
Zhang Jin's salary for Zhou Xingchi is 50,000 yuan, which is more than double his 20,000 yuan in "Thunderbolt Pioneer", and he is also the male number one, allowing Zhou Xingchi to appropriately increase his personal acting style without changing the script.
Overall, Zhou Xingchi was quite satisfied.
After signing the contract, the big guy said: "Brother Jin, when will the movie start, I can push away some messy characters in the station and concentrate on this film." ”
Zhang Jin smiled and didn't pierce him, "One month at the latest, you will be able to get the script in half a month." ”
Wu Mengda said: "Brother Jin, what kind of film are we making? ”
"Gambling movies, has Da Ge been playing in Macau recently?" Zhang Jin asked.
Wu Mengda's right cheek twitched, his mustache cocked and said: "If you go again, your family will be ruined, I have been reforming my mind for a long time, I don't believe you ask Xingzai." ”
Zhou Xingchi nodded and said: "Da Ge has been very responsible recently, we are waiting on the set to play cards, and he doesn't participate." ”
Zhang Jin also asked casually, there are two bad gamblers in TVB, one is Wu Mengda in front of him, and the other is the gold medal emcee Zhong Paul, Wu Mengda is better, after tossing for a few years, the prodigal son turned back, and he picked up his character and began to live a good life.
Compared with Wu Mengda's calmness, Zhou Xingchi couldn't wait, after the coffee came up, he kept inquiring about the new film, Zhang Jin said a few words, and didn't reveal much else, but talked to Wu Mengda about the upcoming "The Story of Ah Lang".
After chatting a few words, Wu Mengda asked in surprise: "How do you know so much about the film Xinyicheng?" ”
Zhang Jin explained with a smile: "I wrote the script, and you were also recommended by me to Du Qifeng, of course I understand." ”
"Wow, Brother Jin, you are really my nobleman!" Wu Mengda excitedly held Zhang Jin's hand, "Thank you, thank you." ”
Zhou Xingchi saw that there was nothing wrong with him, and his mood was a little low, don't look at this guy who is not very famous, but he likes a bunch of people to revolve around him, likes to be centered on him, as for things that have nothing to do with him, he simply turned a deaf ear and pretended to be a little transparent, until Wu Mengda kicked him under the table, he dealt with it with a few words.
Zhang Jin already knew him, so it was not strange, and the three of them talked a few more gossips, left each other's contact information and left.
On the way back, Wu Mengda counted Zhou Xingchi: "Xingzai, what kind of plane are you doing, but you are a big boss, and I am willing to ask you to film, so I can look up to you." ”
Zhou Xingchi said aggrievedly: "I didn't do anything, I just wasn't interested in what you were talking about." ”
"Let me tell you, although I met Zhang Jin for the first time, I feel that he is much better than that Li Xiuxian, and allows you to play freely, where can you find such an opportunity, and when chatting, I found that he has a wide range of connections and profound screenwriting skills, such people will be reused in TVB sooner or later, don't put on a stinky face in the future, be careful that people won't invite you after this cooperation!"
Wu Mengda is well-intentioned, but Zhou Xingchi is that kind of person, no matter how much you pour out your heart and lungs, it is useless, he still behaves according to his own character.
……
Bidding farewell to Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda, Zhang Jin took a taxi to the hotel, accompanied by his eldest brother Zhang Jun, who took the sample film of "Raid", and tonight's task was to have dinner and play cards with the two managers of the Golden Princess Cinema Line, and discuss the matter of increasing the theater.
But the two brothers waited in the hotel for half an hour, and they didn't see Du Qifeng and Jin Princess, the two theater directors, coming.
"Damn, what do you mean by hanging us here!" The eldest brother couldn't hold his breath and paced back and forth in the room.
"Wait a little longer." Zhang Jin was also impatient, if the paralysis came, you can give a letter, and when he was about to paging Du Qifeng, the pager on his waist rang first, and Zhang Jin hurriedly resumed the machine.
It was Du Qifeng who answered the phone, Lao Du was about to go crazy, and opened his mouth to scold his mother directly: "Those two bastards have changed their attention again, don't worry, Jinzai, don't worry, I contacted Chen Sheng and Feng Sheng of Xinbao Cinema Line again, don't spend it in the hotel, just bring a piece of flower to Xinbao's side." ”
Hung up the phone, Zhang Jin's fists tightened and tightened, Princess Jin of the dog day, Lao Tzu has written down you.
"Big guy, check out and leave."
The eldest brother hurriedly asked, "Don't wait?" ”
"Wait for an awl, let's go to another one!"
……
Half an hour later, the two brothers Zhang Jin came to the office building where the Xinbao Cinema Line was located.
Du Qifeng was waiting downstairs early, and when he saw the two brothers coming, he hurriedly walked over and said: "Oh, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect the temporary change of hexagram over there, but fortunately, he left me a business card when the Xinbao Cinema Line was established, I tried to contact Chen Sheng, and he happily agreed to watch the sample." ”
When going upstairs, Du Qifeng seized the time to introduce the situation of Xinbao Cinema to Zhang Jin, Zhang Jin listened carefully, in fact, there was no need for Du Qifeng to introduce, Zhang Jin also knew about Xinbao Cinema.
It's just that the recent filming is weak, and my brain is a mess, and I forgot about the newly established Xinbao Cinema Line for a while.
Xinbao Cinemas was established at the end of 1987, and the two founders were the partners of the original Golden Princess Cinemas: Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong.
At this time, it was the era of Hong Kong films, and the box office interests of Hong Kong films far exceeded the income of the port, so studios in Southeast Asia, Taiwan, South Korea and other places all made profits from investing in Hong Kong films, but because the three major theaters monopolized the Hong Kong market at that time, foreign investors could not get the prime time even if they occasionally made Hong Kong films, and popular movie stars could not join.
It was precisely because of the strong windfall profits of foreign capital that Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong combined, and felt that instead of continuing to fight with Lei Juekun, who was not in good health, it was better to withdraw from Princess Jin and simply set up a Xinbao independent of the three major cinema chains, acting as an "intermediary" between foreign capital and independent production companies in Hong Kong.
To put it simply, the emergence of Xinbao Cinema has directly become a paradise for a group of independent production companies, and Heung Kong Pictures has finally ushered in a "golden age" in the true sense.
However, Zhang Jin knows that there are actually many hidden dangers under this kind of grand curtain, but everyone is blinded by huge profits and can't see it temporarily.
After the meeting, a little introduction, obviously, Xinbao here still did an investigation on Zhang Jin, Chen Rongmei held Zhang Jin's hand, patted a few times and said: "Jin Zai is really terrifying, not only wrote a few good scripts, but also created a magazine that is more powerful than Biweekly, we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future, and we must take care of it more." ”
"Chen Sheng praised it, and he will have to take care of Xinbao more in the future."
"It's too much to say that's outlanding." Chen Rongmei said: "Let's take a look at the sample film first. ”
