Chapter 311: Debao who is short of money
"Mr. Zou......"
"Oh, John, sit!" Zou Wenhuai walked back to his office chair, sat down and continued: "But there are still any difficulties in the establishment of the company, if you need help, just ask, we Jiahe can help." ”
Cen Jianxun completely lost the arrogance of directing the country in the past, and embarrassedly took the briefcase on his chest, and muttered: "It's indeed a little troublesome, I want to ask Boss Zou for help." ”
"Oh? What busy you just say. Zou Wenhuai replied cheerfully.
Cen Jianxun opened the briefcase, took out a script and handed it over and said: "Boss Zou, this is a script we just wrote, called "Brave Double Cannon", the people in the company think it's good after reading it, and they are ready to shoot, but it's ......."
Zou Wenhuai glanced at Cen Jianxun, who suddenly hesitated, and asked while reading the script, "But what?" Lack of actors? Lack of a director? Or is there a lack of venue personnel? ”
"Well, it's neither." Cen Jianxun pursed his lips, lowered his voice and said, "It's a lack of money......
“……”
Zou Wenhuai's hand froze suddenly, raised his head and looked at Cen Jianxun in front of him in amazement. What did he just hear? The film company invested by a famous tycoon is still short of money? What the hell is this?
Or do you have auditory hallucinations?
Seeing Zou Wenhuai's strange look, Cen Jianxun was even more embarrassed, but he was definitely not able to retreat from Debao's words now, so he had to continue: "Mr. Pan thinks that the company's first drama has to be stable, he wants to make a small investment first, and he doesn't want to invest a lot of money." ”
Pan Disheng's trick is real, and it is of course good to be stable in the business-making business.
Zou Wenhuai has just skimmed the script of "Brave Double Cannon", which is generally a medium-budget movie. It's not unusual to invest one or two million. This movie is going to hit the streets. Even if Pan Disheng is a famous brand tycoon, he has to have a pain in the flesh. The money was all earned by himself.
"How much money did Mr. Pan pay?" Zou Wenhuai asked curiously.
"600,000 ......"
"How much!?"
Cen Jianxun said embarrassedly again: "Six hundred thousand." ”
“……”
This number made Cen Jianxun extremely embarrassed, what can 600,000 do now? It's not five years ago, at this time, the salaries of some second- and third-tier actors have risen to 40,000 or 50,000, not to mention the top stars of Chenglong Zhou Runfa, these 600,000 yuan are now taken out and can't even afford half of Zhou Runfa.
Cen Jianxun thought that if he told Pan Disheng that he didn't have to take care of the film company, Pan Disheng really couldn't take care of it? When Zou Wen was pregnant with the Shaw Brothers, he was not crushed to death by Fang Yihua, who was in charge of finances. Now Pan Disheng just wants to make a small production, and he can completely break the capital chain of Debao.
Now Pan Disheng wants to start small. And the helmsman of Debao, Cen Jianxun, is also a person who advocates big productions. Since the beginning of the establishment of Debao, these two people have quietly buried a rift.
"600,000 ......" Zou Wenhuai wanted to smile bitterly, but after saying it, he still sighed: "600,000, this Mr. Pan really doesn't have much heart for making movies." ”
Cen Jianxun scratched his head a little, but finally said: "I can understand that Mr. Pan wants to start with a small production, but if the company wants to become bigger, I think it is better to make a name for itself in one fell swoop." ”
"Okay, I read it, the script is good." Zou Wenhuai didn't want to pay attention to these pickled things, waved his hand and said, "How much money do you still lack?" ”
"Sixty ......"
Just as Cen Jianxun spit out two words. The door to the office clicked softly, and someone pushed it open from the outside. People who can freely enter and exit Zou Wenhuai's office without going through the communication. It must be Zou Wenhuai's right-hand man.
Sure enough, Cen Jianxun looked back and saw He Yichang walking in.
"Hello Mr. He!" Cen Jianxun nodded as a greeting.
He Yichang asked curiously: "Hey, John is here, is there something?" ”
"Hmm." Cen Jianxun nodded and responded, "It's something to find Mr. Zou." ”
"Then you two will talk first, and I'll sit next to me for a while." He Yichang pointed to the sofa next to him, turned around and walked over.
Cen Jianxun smiled softly, turned his head and looked at Zou Wenhuaigang and was about to continue talking, but found that he had already taken a pen and was writing and drawing on the desk.
After a while, Zou Wenhuai handed over a note and said, "John, take it to the finance room to report the account and get the money, it's your first play, we don't support it." ”
Cen Jianxun picked up the note and looked at it, and immediately said happily: "Thank you, Mr. Zou, thank you, Mr. Zou." ”
"Alright, alright." Zou Wenhuai waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's go filming." ”
"Hmmm! Well! Cen Jianxun nodded, stood up and walked out the door.
Waiting for Cen Jianxun to completely leave the office, Zou Wenhuai immediately smiled bitterly, also stood up and walked to the sofa and sat down.
"What, what the hell is John's business looking for you?" He Xichang asked suspiciously.
Zou Wenhuai smacked his lips and asked, "I said that Debao is short of money, do you believe it?" ”
"Huh?" He Xichang thought about it, and suddenly smiled: "I believe it, the facts are in front of me, why don't I believe it." ”
"This Pan Disheng is too businessman, not material for making movies." Zou Wenhuai smiled bitterly and continued: "Forget it, don't talk about them, how is Xiwen's movie doing?" ”
He Yichang nodded and responded: "The progress is not bad, it's almost finished." ”
"Alas, I don't know now, is it right or wrong to put Xiwen's movie in the New Year's file this time......" Zou Wenhuai said slowly.
The current 'King of Comedy' Xu Yiwen finally came back strongly after three years away from the big screen in Hong Kong. The movie Xu Yiwen is shooting now is "Teppanyaki", which he wrote, directed and acted in. This film maintains his usual style of humor and is indeed an excellent comedy.
However, "Teppanyaki" met "God of Gamblers", coupled with his younger brother's "Best Partner 3", this difference between victory and defeat made Zou Wenhuai a little uneasy.
The Xu family, who relied on Xu Yiwen to support himself, obviously had a little lack of confidence.
"Don't worry, Wen Huai." He Xichang was relieved on the side: "After all, the influence of Xiwen is still there, although it may not win those two movies, but it will not lose face if you think about it." ”
There is another point that the two of them also tacitly know, after all, Xu Xiwen is a great hero of Jiahe before, and his qualifications are higher than those of Jackie Chan and Hong Jingbao, and he used to be unconditionally ranked in the New Year's file every year. Now that the people are back, and Chenglong is not there, it doesn't seem like Jiahe is still driving them down.
Golden Harvest, after all, has always been a company known for its righteousness.
Zou Wenhuai figured out some things, and he didn't dwell on it anymore, and suddenly asked: "Do you want to attend Shao Renmei's funeral next week?" ”
"Go, how can you not go......" He Xichang said with a straight face.
The two of them not only had to attend Shao Renmei's funeral, but also had to explore the tone of the two Shao Weiming brothers by the way. What are the two new helmsmen of Nanyang Shaw Brothers going to do with the more than 100 theaters in their hands?
It seems that Shaw is about to change. (To be continued......)
