Chapter 127: Smiling Proud Jianghu
Seeing Xu Anhua leave with a happy face, Li Xuan and Ye Zhiming turned around and walked back to the company. While walking, Ye Zhiming looked at Li Xuan curiously and asked, "Ah Xuan, how did you think of investing in this woman?" ”
"What, Lao Ye, do you think she is not worth my investment?" Li Xuan asked teasingly.
"How so!" Unexpectedly, Ye Zhiming immediately retorted: "Although I can't make movies, I still see people very accurately." This Xu Anhua is very talented, and the script is also good, which is worth investing in. It's just that I don't think it's like your usual style. ”
"Oh? What is my usual style? Li Xuan asked curiously.
"Haha......"
Ye Zhiming let out a long laugh, but did not answer first, but stretched out his right hand and pinched each other with his thumb and index finger, and then smiled: "This is your style." ”
Li Xuan suddenly cried and laughed, and scolded with a smile: "Hit the street, Lao Ye, in your eyes, am I a person who only looks at box office results?" ”
"It used to be, but now it's ......" Ye Zhiming glanced Li Xuan up and down, and then smiled: "Not now, haha!" After saying this, Ye Zhiming immediately laughed and returned to his office.
Li Xuan looked at Ye Zhiming's back with a smile, this old Ye was much more cheerful than when Li Xuan first saw him. This is very good, at least Ye Yuqing, the little Lori, should not follow the old path of the future generations.
Glancing at the dozen or so staff members in the office, Li Xuan shook his head imperceptibly, and also turned around and walked back to his office.
Hey, the company is still too small!
Originally, when Ye Zhiming joined the company, Li Xuan also planned to take advantage of the trend to have a big integration, and set up the company's rules and regulations first, such as what kind of artist department, production department and logistics department are subdivided.
As a result, as soon as Li Xuan's opinion was put forward, it was opposed by Ye Zhiming, and now the entire company has only set up a simple artist department, and everyone else wears many hats. And the reason given by Ye Zhiming is also very simple, now the company is still small, subdivision is equivalent to wasting money, and when the company expands, it is not too late to subdivide.
Li Xuan thought about it and said it quite reasonably, so he accepted it. As a result, in addition to those cameras and actors, there are only twelve people stationed in the company to do chores.
Oh no! Because Li Xuan invested in making several movies and accumulated a lot of props, the company also rented a small factory on the next street as a factory warehouse, and also hired an old man to look after the house.
In this way, there are thirteen miscellaneous jobs in the whole company, which is really an auspicious number.
Gui Zhihong's "Evil" was finally painted fifteen days after its release, with a total box office of 2.86 million Hong Kong dollars. This result is really bright in a large number of Shaw Brothers movies, although it is not as good as the results of the second week of "Black Man".
The box office of "Black Man" in the second week was 3.24 million, although it was also a good result, but Li Xuan saw that this box office data was declining rapidly, and the box office in the second week was more than one million less than in the first week.
Although it is already possible for "Black Man" to break the box office of 10 million, it is clear that audiences have adapted to this novel way of martial arts, and the appeal of the movie is declining.
Then I'll give you some more fantastical and whimsical films! Li Xuan looked at the headquarters of the Ming Pao Building in front of him and walked in with his head held high.
Li Xuan has been here many times, but he is also familiar with it. went straight to the door of Jin Yong's office and stopped the secretary who was about to call the door, and Li Xuan knocked on the door himself.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
"Please come in!"
After a while, Jin Yong's voice came from inside, and Li Xuan immediately opened the door of the office when he heard this.
"Mr. Cha, excuse me!" As soon as he entered Jin Yong's office, Li Xuan took the lead in saying hello.
"Ahh Xuan Zai! Jin Yong, who was sitting at his desk and reviewing the manuscript, looked at Li Xuan who walked in in surprise.
"Xuan Zai, you are really a rare guest!" Kim Yong sat behind his desk and teased.
"Hehe, I've been a little busy lately." Li Xuan replied embarrassedly.
Since the serialization of "Kunlun" in Ming Pao ended, Li Xuan generally did not run to the headquarters of Ming Pao. Moreover, Li Xuan played the movie, so he wrote it completely, no, he put down all the things about copying novels, Li Xuan was really embarrassed to face this person who had the grace to know him again.
"Busy? Also, movie after movie, let's talk about it, have they been on the front page of our Ming Pao several times? ”
Jin Yong didn't plan to let Li Xuan go at once, this seedling of martial arts novels he was very optimistic about, actually went to make a movie. When he heard the news, he was disappointed for several days.
"Haha, it's just a few times." Li Xuan obviously played haha.
"Huh, how many times? That's it? Jin Yong looked at Li Xuan with some hatred for iron and steel, but looking at Li Xuan's tired appearance, he had to wave his hand and said helplessly: "Say, what's the matter with coming to the door this time?" Have you started writing a new novel? ”
Looking at Jin Yong with a look of hope, Li Xuan really wanted to say no. However, for the sake of what he was going to talk about next, Li Xuan had no choice but to say ideally: "Well, I wrote it." ”
Unexpectedly, he got a definite answer to his casual question, Jin Yong hurriedly helped his gold-wire glasses frame and smiled: "What about the manuscript, bring it to me to see." ”
"Uh......, I didn't bring it at home."
"You ......" Jin Yong was almost so angry by this sentence that he was bleeding internally, and then asked with a cold face, "You can't be lying to me, right?" ”
"No, how dare I lie to you." Li Xuan hurriedly waved his hand and explained; "It's really at home, I didn't bring it."
Li Xuan decided, went back and immediately started copying novels, and dealt with this level first.
"Since you didn't bring it, what are you doing here today?" Looking at Li Xuan's face full of "sincerity", Jin Yong was slightly relieved, and then asked.
"I want to adapt one of Mr. Cha's novels into a movie, and I want to buy the rights." Seeing that he finally talked about the matter, Li Xuan said calmly.
"A novel into a movie?" Jin Yongyue groaned slightly, and continued to ask, "Which novel?" ”
Li Xuan was a little apprehensive at this time, and slowly spit out four words in his mouth: "Laughing proud of the rivers and lakes!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Xuan saw an inexplicable smile on Jin Yong's face. Li Xuan looked at Jin Yong in front of him, and somehow a bad premonition surged in his heart.
"Well, I'm sorry, Xuan Zai." Jin Yong shook his head silently and said slowly: "I can't sell you the film copyright of "Smiling Proud Jianghu". ”
The premonition in his heart immediately became true, and Li Xuan asked in surprise, "Why?" Mr. Cha, don't worry, I will pay a lot of copyright fees. ”
"Haha, Xuan Zai, what do you think of me, this is not a matter of copyright fees at all."
"That's?"
In an instant, Li Xuan felt that there would be a bigger trouble waiting for him ahead.
"At the end of 77, Shaw Brothers bought the copyright of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and it hasn't expired yet."
Li Xuan was speechless for a while, this is really a big trouble! (To be continued.) )
