116 Invite the dragon head to play the villain
At the beginning, ATV came to poach people and proposed a condition of 2 million annual salary and the director of the creative department, in ATV's opinion, such conditions were enough to make Zhang Jin's heart move.
But Zhang Jin didn't agree, and then ATV asked him what conditions he was willing to jump ship, and he replied directly to four: separation of production and broadcasting.
The result can be imagined, Lin Baixin, who has just taken over ATV, can't agree.
After all, Xiangjiang is a small place, a total of five or six million people, on this market, the three TV stations have become two, and the two are fighting for the head of the bloodshed, in the process of fighting, TVB and ATV have implemented the market operation mechanism for more than ten years, as if they have a huge program operation team, and the departments do things according to the instructions of the superiors, and operate according to the market price system, and the assembly line is very mature.
The two TV stations produce and sell enough to meet the market demand, and they are willing to let an independent Hong Kong drama production company come out to grab the market.
ATV can't agree, and TVB definitely can't agree either.
In this regard, Zhang Jin has long been psychologically prepared, Wang Tianlin said that it is impossible to implement the separation of production and broadcasting in Xiangjiang, and he did not take it to heart, and continued to drink tea and chat with Wang Tianlin and his son.
Ten minutes later, Wang Tianlin and his son said goodbye, and Wang Jing kept thanking Zhang Jin before leaving.
After the father and son left, Xiang Huasheng called the waiter to change the tea and order a few desserts, and then sat opposite Zhang Jin, "You are more daring than I imagined, and you actually want to implement the separation of production and broadcasting in TVB." ”
Zhang Jin shrugged his shoulders and said: "In fact, it is not the separation of production and broadcasting in the real sense, but I feel that TVB dominates such a large amount of resources and does not use them, which is too wasteful, and the model of Yiyantang is unpleasant, and it is difficult for many newcomers to get ahead." ”
Xiang Huasheng took a bite of dessert, and said with a smile: "To a perverted newcomer like you, don't say that in the TV industry, even in the film industry, it is a once-in-a-century encounter, do you know, I always have a feeling that if your ideas are fully realized, your future achievements will be no worse than Sir Shao and Zou Daheng." ”
Zhang Jin smiled and said, "Brother Sheng, don't kill me, is your ambition small?" Yongsheng is now in a hurry, and it will only be a matter of one or two years to replace Xinyicheng, Debao and Jiahe on an equal footing. ”
was told by Zhang Jin about the central matter, Xiang Huasheng sighed again and again, pointed at Zhang Jin and said with a wry smile: "I just have such a little thought, and you can see it clearly, but now that you have knocked Yongsheng's right-hand man down, Yongsheng will not make a big production in a short time." ”
"Don't take me so badly." Zhang Jin retorted: "Three movies that broke 30 million were released in two months, which directly squeezed out the market in the port in the first half of the year, and without one or two days to recuperate, I am afraid it will be difficult to produce high-grossing movies." ”
Xiang Huasheng laughed, Zhang Jin was right, he also thought that the market would be weak in a short period of time, and now that a new film is released, there will be no higher box office revenue.
And the young people in front of him just participated in these three movies, Xiang Huasheng was not only convinced, but also admired Zhang Jin's investment vision.
He feels that he and Zhang Jin are the same kind of people, at least in terms of commercial films, they also have a keen sense of smell, and they have a thorough view of the port market.
After laughing, Xiang Huasheng hesitated slightly, and said tentatively: "Ah Jin, we are also friends, can you do us a favor?" ”
Zhang Jin picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "Say whatever is in the agreement, forget it outside the agreement, you know that I just want to make a fortune." ”
Xiang Huasheng scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, how many times do you want me to say, I really want to do business." ”
"Say it, do your best." Zhang Jin said.
Xiang Huasheng said: ""The Saint of Gambling" began to be screened in Taiwan, right, I want to take advantage of your cinema distribution channel in Taiwan to avoid the pumping of the three theaters. ”
Among the three major theaters in Xiangjiang, Golden Harvest, Xinyicheng, and Xinbao all have distribution channels in Taiwan, and Hong Kong films must go through the three major theater chains to be released, so the money that falls into the hands of the producer will shrink by at least half.
Jinlong is different, the eldest brother used the energy over there to quickly expand a separate theater line, although the resources are not large, but the eldest brother is more popular over there than Fa Ge and Cheng Long, plus the quality of the two films produced by Jinlong is good, and now this channel is continuing to expand.
"Poof!" Zhang Jin laughed, "Brother Sheng, do you still need to ask me about such a trivial matter?" Just talk to my eldest brother. ”
Xiang Huasheng had a bitter face, and said angrily: "Damn, you two brothers are simple, he said that you can only nod your head in everything." ”
Zhang Jin nodded and said, "Okay, you go to talk to him again, I have no opinion." ”
"By the way, Brother Ten has been a bit addicted to drama since he passed a trick in "God of Gamblers". Xiang Huasheng said: "Didn't you say before that there is a new film, when will you give him a role to play, so as not to nag him all the time." ”
Zhang Jin said: "Come on, let him play against his eldest brother." ”
"Villain?" Xiang Huasheng said: "I'm afraid he can't act, is there the kind of fighting and killing." ”
"You don't need acting skills, you can perform in your true colors!" Zhang Jin said with a guarantee: "Let him play enough at one time, and he will never want to act in that kind of film in the future." ”
Xiang Huasheng's brows furrowed tightly when he heard this, and he said after a long time: "This is the best." ”
……
In the evening, Zhang Jin talked to his eldest brother on the phone, told Xiang Huasheng's request, and then asked about the box office of "The Saint of Gambling".
"The box office is generally rising, but the audience needs time to accept Zhou Xingchi." The eldest brother said: "Anyway, it's not as appealing as Lao Tzu." ”
Zhang Jin asked, "Want to make a film?" ”
"Hey, hey." The eldest brother only laughed on the phone, and didn't say whether he wanted to or not.
Zhang Jin had already guessed his thoughts, and after scolding "virtue", he simply said the plot of the new film, "Du Qifeng and Dong Wei have schedules, I will let them go to Taiwan with the new film book in a few days, you are preparing for the new film, and the villain of this film is Yongsheng Longtou, don't be cowardly when the time comes." ”
"Haha, it's not like I haven't fought with Brother Ten with real guns, who is afraid of whom!" The eldest brother hung up the phone excitedly.
Let the club leader perform in his true colors, I'm afraid only Zhang Jin can come up with it, I really don't know how the audience will react after the new film comes out.
The eldest brother is now starting to enjoy the feeling of being a star, which is a good start, at least he is keen on performing, and he will be restrained after becoming a public star.
After "The Saint of Gambling" broke through the box office of 30 million, the daily income began to decline, but there are still ten days before the painting time, and it should not be a problem for the three major theaters to count the box office and squeeze into the top three of the annual box office.
But whether he can stab the chrysanthemum of "God of Gamblers" and enter the army of 40 million first, that is not something Zhang Jin can consider.
Because TVB finally couldn't hold his breath anymore, that night, Fang Yihua called and asked him to come to TVB for an interview tomorrow.
