Chapter 305: An Invitation

Scholar Pictures is a film company in Taiwan that has only been established for more than three years and is also engaged in film production and distribution.

However, don't ignore it because the scholar has been established for a short time, since the scholar bought Xu Anhua's "Hit the Positive" and earned the first pot of gold, it has developed rapidly. In just three years, scholars have grown rapidly, combing a large number of theaters in Taipei and Taichung, and now they have the momentum to win the boss of Taiwan's private film companies.

What's more, because the scholar developed later than the Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and Golden Princess, it has not yet connected with these three Hong Kong cinema lines. The Scholar Film Company, which made the preemptive move, has long been interested in drilling the Hong Kong film market.

In later generations, a large amount of Taiwanese funds poured into the Hong Kong film market, which spurred Hong Kong's golden decade and created a large number of bad movies. Don't think that the golden decade of Hong Kong films only started in the mid-80s, and that Taiwanese funds only poured into Hong Kong at this time. As early as the end of the 70s, when there was no scholar company at that time, Cai Songlin, the big boss of the current scholars, supported Deng Guangrong to run back to Hong Kong to open a Da Rong Film Company.

Now that Li Xuan and the scholar have built a bridge for the first time, it is also a good thing for him.

"Hah, that's a good thing." Li Xuan smiled and said, "Hurry up and let that kid Guoxin talk about the specific cooperation intention, but let him pay attention, no matter how big the other party is, we can't suffer." ”

Xian Qilu smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, Cai Songlin is very arrogant, do you know what the Taiwan buyout price of "Ghost Horse Flying Man" is? ”

"How much?" Li Xuan asked curiously.

Buyouts are a common way to distribute films, that is, to package and sell the finished film and rights to other film companies or distributors, regardless of the revenue of the film being released in theaters in the future. It has nothing to do with the producer.

For example, many of Hong Kyung-bo's movies. They are all packaged and sold directly to Golden Harvest. And Zou Wenhuai, who is righteous and angry, gave Hong Jingbao a satisfactory price every time.

The advantage of this method of film distribution is that the money is returned quickly, and the danger of the box office is transferred to the theater chain, which allows the producer to make his own film more stably. However, the disadvantage is also obvious, if a movie that the producer is not optimistic about is sold cheaply, and then the actual box office is very hot, then the producer will lose a lot.

However, those blockbusters with quality assurance and star guarantees are definitely not among the buyouts.

"3 million ......," Xian Qilu said quietly.

Li Xuan opened his mouth slightly, and finally asked unconfidently, "Hong Kong dollars?" ”

"Hmm!"

"Shhh He frowned and asked, "That's too much, isn't it?" ”

Xian Qilu nodded and responded: "This price is not only the Taiwanese film screening copyright of "Ghost Horse Flying Man", but also its Taiwanese videotape distribution copyright. ”

“……”

Li Xuan touched his chin and said suspiciously: "This is also a bit much, the Taiwanese film and video cassette copyrights of "Ghost Horse and Flying Man" add up, and it can be about 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars at most. ”

"Since it was said that the two families will cooperate for a long time, the scholar's hemorrhage this time is probably also to prepare for better cooperation in the future." Xian Qilu said leisurely.

"That's just as well." Li Xuan nodded, and suddenly smiled: "I heard that this Cai Songlin has a good relationship with Xin Yi'an?" ”

Xian Qilu nodded and said, "Hmm." There is such a rumor, especially the two bigwigs who play movies in the Xiang family. seems to have a good relationship with him. Cai Songlin, a self-made person in Taiwan, can't afford to open such a big company if he doesn't have enough connections between Hong Kong and Taiwan, otherwise he would have been swallowed up a long time ago. ”

"Ha, then when I go to Taiwan to participate in the Golden Horse Awards this time, I must meet this Cai Songlin." Li Xuan said with a smile.

Xian Qilu shook his head, and said as he stood up: "This is definitely going to happen, okay, you continue to be busy with your business, I'm out." ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan just nodded, suddenly raised his head and said: "That's right, Qi Xuan, when Guoxin comes back from Taiwan, you will quickly set up the issuance department, I think this kid is not bad, he has a lot of energy." ”

"Haha, that's nature, I finally got a ......"

"Knock knock—"

Before Xian Qilu's words were finished, he was interrupted by a knock on the door, and Li Xuan had no choice but to smile helplessly and shout 'Please come in'. Immediately, there was a soft 'click', and Li Li, who had been promoted to the secretary of the front desk, walked in with a red invitation.

"Xiaoli, what's the matter?"

Li Li looked at Li Xuan and the others, handed over the red invitation and said, "Mr. Li, Mr. Xian, this was just sent by someone, I think you two should take a look." ”

"What's that?"

Li Xuan took the invitation card suspiciously, opened it, and then opened his mouth slightly in astonishment. Xian Qilu looked at Li Xuan's expression and was also a little puzzled, and walked to Li Xuan's side to look at the invitation, and was also stunned.

There is another film company in Hong Kong to be established, and the name of the company is Debao!

This was Xian Qilu's first thought, and then the second thought came out very suddenly with the names Xu Ke and Hong Jingbao that he saw.

Now the new art city is in big trouble!

You must know that Xinyicheng is not only missing a director like Xu Ke this time, but also Xu Ke's shrewd and capable wife Shi Nansheng. This female housekeeper of Xinyicheng must also marry her husband and marry a dog with a dog, Xu Ke is now out of Xinyicheng, does Shi Nanshengan have any reason not to leave?

The development and growth of Xinyicheng is half of the credit of Shi Nansheng, a master of internal affairs, and now that she is gone, I am afraid that Xinyicheng will be in chaos for a while.

Xian Qilu thought of the chaos in Xinyi City, and Li Xuan only felt that the wings of his butterfly were really getting more and more powerful. He dared to pack the ticket and even swore to the sky that Xu Ke would never go to Debao in the future, and his own studio would be running well.

But now......

Xian Qilu guessed well, with Shi Nansheng's departure, Xinyicheng did become a mess, but fortunately, they only opened two dramas in the second half of the year, the company was on the right track, and there were no theaters, so after some turmoil, it calmed down.

"Hit the street, Xu Ke, that Erwuzai!" Mai Jia sat in the conference room and scolded fiercely.

Mai Jia can't help but scold, he hasn't rested peacefully for several days, with Shi Nansheng's sudden resignation, most of the administrative work of Xinyicheng is pressed on the head of him, the largest shareholder, and even the filming plan of "Best Partner 3" has been postponed.

"Hey, okay, now isn't the time to swear." Shi Tian waved his hand impatiently and said, "We have to find an administrative master to come over as soon as possible, otherwise we won't be able to toss." ”

"yes, we can't mess around anymore, who knows if several other film companies will come to poach people again." Huang Baiming said a little depressed.

Ay! Huang Baiming sighed, if only they hadn't been so squeezed Xu Ke at the beginning.

As one of the most influential film companies in Hong Kong, the news of the resignation of the two backbones immediately triggered a storm of public opinion in Hong Kong.

Countless filmmakers and reporters are looking forward to this battle between Golden Harvest and New Art City, which has been put on the bright side!

That's right, it's the battle between Golden Harvest and New Art City. Just when Cen Jianxun worriedly took Xu Ke to Hong Jingbao to prepare to dig people, Cen Jianxun, who was in the spirit of trying not to lose fast meat, was stunned to find that Zou Wenhuai allowed Hong Jingbao to come out to partner, and even tried his best to promote the matter. Of course, the condition for this partner is that Debao's movie will be released in Golden Harvest in the future.

Cen Jianxun, who was already good at administrative ability, immediately figured out the ins and outs, and this matter must have appeared on Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng. How could Zou Wenhuai not know the value of these two in Xinyicheng, and now that he can sell a little favor to hit Xinyicheng and Princess Jin, why shouldn't Zou Wenhuai do it.

"Wen Huai, your trick is really good." He Yichang said with a smile: "Not only did it hit Xinyicheng and Princess Jin, but also pulled a film company for us, high!" ”

"Haha, what is high, the new art city is not good yet." Zou Wenhuai said with some pride.

He Yichang smiled and said, "They look good on the surface, but they don't know how to be disgusting inside." ”

"Alright, I don't expect to defeat them all at once." Zou Wenhuai waved his hand and said, "By the way, you asked Ah Long to prepare and go to the United States to shoot "Cannonball Speed 2" in a few days." ”

"Cannonball Speed? Also 2? He Yichang said in surprise: "Last time this movie was made, Ah Long was angry, and this time he made him ......."

"You're mistaken." Zou Wenhuai waved his hand to interrupt He Yichang's words, and continued to laugh: "This time Ah Long is the protagonist, he will not be a supporting role like last time, and he can also be the martial artist of this movie." ”

"Really?"

Zou Wenhuai nodded and said with a smile: "It's true." (To be continued......)
