Chapter Thirty-Eight: Lianhai Pictures (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
The business in Chen Ping'an's mouth is naturally to make movies, and the name Lianhai Pictures is composed of one word from each of the Bamboo Union Gang and the Four Seas Gang.
Gang forces have long invaded the film industry, and the Four Seas Gang has already established a film company and filmed a lot of films, so they are not interested in Chen Ping'an's Lianhai Pictures, and the three bigwigs of the Four Seas Gang, especially the name Lianhai Pictures, is still "Lian" in front of "Hai".
"Don't say it's called Lianhai Pictures, even Hailian Pictures, we're not interested!"
"So, the Bamboo Union is still going to fight?"
"Questions?" Cai Guanlun glared and said, "When the Bamboo Union Gang was big, they grabbed our territory. Why, now that it is declining, I want to reconcile, how can there be such a good thing in the world! β
Chen Ping'an stopped Zhang Zhaole, who wanted to speak, and said: "Let me correct it, the Bamboo Union Gang has not declined, and it is not because they want to reconcile that they agreed to me, but I think that both sides are from other provinces, and they always fight back and forth in vain to let the introspection hang see the joke." β
"Cut, just look at it, anyway, it's all cats and dogs that can't be on the table."
At the beginning of 85 years, the Tiandao League, one of the three major gangs in Taiwan, had not yet been established, and the gang forces on the island were headed by the Bamboo Union Gang and the Four Seas Gang from other provinces, and the internal provinces were far less powerful than those from other provinces. It was not until the establishment of the Heavenly Dao Alliance that a new power pattern was formed on the island.
"Uncle Cai is right, introspection is not good now, but what about the future? How many introspective horn bosses have been imprisoned in Green Island Prison this time, and who dares to guarantee that they will not unite and form new gangs inside, such as the Heavenly Dao Alliance or something? β
Seeing that the three bigwigs of the Four Seas Gang were a little moved, Chen Ping'an hit the railway while it was hot: "I know that the three uncles have always regarded themselves as businessmen, you must know that the money in this world is inexhaustible, so why bother to fight and kill outsiders?" Besides, the wind is tightening right now, why not suspend the fight and bury your fortune and accumulate strength to see the facts? If there is no action in introspection, it will be too late for the two sides to fight to the death after the limelight in the future, but if there is a big move in introspection, why can't the two sides abandon the internal contradictions first and unite with the outside world? β
Liu Weimin and the three exchanged glances again, and Chen Yonghe hesitated: "You can't be wrong, making money is the most important thing this year." But as far as you mention YΓ¬'s 'Lianhai Pictures', how can we believe you? β
"The name of Lianhai Pictures must not be changed, whether I admit it or not, my life experience cannot be changed. However, in order to show sincerity, I have a big gift for the establishment of Lianhai Pictures this time. Old Wu, give me the bag. Chen Ping'an took out a copy of the movie from his bag and put it on the table, "I wonder if a few uncles have heard the play "Police Story"? β
"The one starring Cheng Long, I heard that it is very popular in Hong Kong."
"I filmed it."
"You filmed it?"
"That's right, when I left Hong Kong, the box office had already exceeded 27 million."
Twenty-seven million! Liu Weimin's eyes lit up. It's not that they haven't seen so much money, but who would be disgusted with a lot of money these days? Chen Yonghe noticed the copy on the coffee table: "This can't be ......"
"That's right, it's a copy of Police Story. I said that I would give a generous gift to celebrate the establishment of Lianhai Pictures, which is the Taiwan distribution rights of "Police Story". Not only that, for every drama filmed by Dark Horse International in the future, the distribution rights in Taiwan will be handed over to Lianhai Pictures, I don't know what the three uncles think? β
"This ......" Liu Weimin and the three were obviously moved, but still said: "Let's think about it." β
"What else to consider!" Chen Ping'an doesn't have so much time to spend here, "I came to Taiwan this time with full sincerity, in addition to the Taiwan distribution rights of "Police Story", I also prepared a script, and I personally directed it as the pioneering work of Lianhai Pictures, ensuring that the box office is a big hit." β
Zhang Zhaole also spoke out at the right time: "What, the Four Seas Gang can't be the older the experience, the less courageous, right?" My Bamboo Union Gang is not so grinding. β
"White wolf, you don't come to this set!" It's all old rivers and lakes, so you can't see the radical method? Liu Weimin asked: "Andy, let me ask you, if Lianhai Pictures is established, how will the shares be divided?" β
"It's good to say that there are two Bamboo Alliances from all over the world, each with 5 million yuan, each accounting for 50% of the shares."
"What about you?"
"I don't want it, this is my fellow's, and it's also a gift to your uncles, and everyone will earn money together in the future."
"Okay, bold enough, worthy of the species of duck overlord!"
"Although I don't like my family, I still have to admit that that guy has a good son!"
"That guy would be very sad if he knew, but such a good son refused to recognize him, hahahaha! Come! β
With Cai Guanlun's "coming", the twenty or thirty little brothers rushed in outside the door, with steel pipes and iron chains and watermelon knives in their hands, all of them fierce and vicious.
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
"you!" Liu Weimin was furious, "Embarrassed guys, get out of here!" Wait a minute, you all show me clearly, Andy is a distinguished guest, whoever dares to be disrespectful to him in the future will be disrespectful to me, and he will be dealt with by the rules! Don't get out of here! β
Cai Guanlun was also annoyed, he just asked someone to serve wine, who knew that a bunch of little brothers rushed in, and they were still carrying guys in their hands, which was too embarrassing: "Let the waiter serve a few bottles of good wine, you are not allowed to come in again without our permission!" β
The two sides have reached an agreement on the establishment of Lianhai Pictures, but there are still many details to negotiate, such as the management of the company, and the final say. 50% of each share, to ensure that the interests of both parties are equal, but in the event of a dispute, who should be listened to? If you don't get it right, it depends on whose fist is bigger.
"Hehe, Uncle Chen is thoughtful. I think that the daily operation of the company is responsible for my people, a qiΔ in the interests of the company, never favor any party, if you encounter problems that cannot be solved, please also ask both parties to come forward, in order to ensure that the interests of the company are not lost. β
"No problem, I believe Andy." Liu Weimin said very happily. As for saying that Chen Ping'an is Chen Qili's son, will he be biased towards the Bamboo Union Gang in the future...... I'll talk about it in the future! In case this phenomenon really happens, the Four Seas Gang is not vegetarian, anyway, Lianhai Pictures is a tentative cooperation between the two sides.
"I have a problem right now, and I want to ask a few uncles for help."
"Let's just say that in Taiwan, there is no problem that the Four Seas Gang can't solve."
"That's right. My company has just been established, and I don't have enough manpower to run Lianhai Pictures. But I have a suitable candidate, I approached her the other day and she refused. β
Chen Yonghe was vigilant and asked cautiously, "Who is it?" β
"Zhang Yijia."
"That little girl in the new art city?" Chen Yonghe put his mind at ease, and immediately looked at Chen Ping'an with a strange gaze, "Andy, you don't want to ...... Well? β
"Hahaha!" Liu Weimin and Cai Guanlun laughed, and the latter smiled: "I've seen that little girl, she looks quite tasteful, why is Andy interested?" She's a lot bigger than you. β
Liu Weimin slapped his thigh: "I remember, some time ago, the newspaper published a scandal between you and Lin Qingxia, Anzai, don't you like an elderly woman, right?" β
I like your sister! Three old guys who don't have a shape.
However, Chen Ping'an also knew that what the other party said represented their trust in themselves, at least for now. "The three uncles misunderstood, I really didn't think so. She is a talent, she is an insider who is familiar with the film industry, and more importantly, she is a woman, and she is the most secure to run the company, not only can she run the company well, but she doesn't have to worry about her tricks. β
Liu Weimin nodded: "Ami, I'll leave this matter to you." β
"Don't worry, I'll definitely make her clothes well." Cai Guanlun is nicknamed Ami, looking at the evil smile on his face, Chen Ping'an was a little worried, and reminded: "Uncle Cai, don't really embarrass her." β
"Okay, Uncle Cai knows how to do it!" Cai Guanlun put his arm around Chen Ping'an's shoulder, "What your Uncle Cai said is to make her obedient in front of you, man, who doesn't understand that little thing?" β
Chen Ping'an found that he couldn't explain it clearly to the other party, as long as they didn't hurt Zhang Yijia. The more Zhang Zhaole looked at Chen Ping'an, the more satisfied he became, especially when he won the trust of the three bigwigs of the Four Seas Gang so quickly, and he talked and laughed with each other without a trace of restraint at all, and once again secretly sighed that there was a successor to the duck tyrant.
After the business was basically over, Liu Weimin called Miss Wu to accompany him for a drink, and Chen Ping'an hugged him generously to accept the fun of playing with Miss Wu, which made Liu Weimin less vigilant. In order to further probe him, after Chen Ping'an toasted him again, he suddenly said: "Andy, I think this is very unfair to you. You did your best, and in the end you were empty-handed, which made us uncles feel ashamed. β
"Since Uncle Liu said so, then I'll make some small requests." Chen Ping'an kneaded Miss Wu's chest twice, "The scene I am going to shoot this time will definitely sell well at the box office." I hope that the box office this time will all belong to me, I wonder what is wrong with the uncles? β
"I agree." Zhang Jile took the lead in expressing his position. On the first day Chen Ping'an came to Taiwan, he told him all his thoughts in the car, he had long known Chen Ping'an's plans, and he just wanted to know how Chen Ping'an would mention this matter to the Four Seas Gang.
Sure enough, Chen Yonghe's face changed and pushed Miss Pushes away from his arms: "It's all yours?" So what do we earn? β
"Copyright. A year later, I will sell the copyright of that drama to Lianhai Pictures for one dollar, and I can make a sequel every year in the future, and shoot six or seven episodes loosely, ensuring that each film will make money. Chen Ping'an still said the same thing to Golden Harvest at the beginning.
It's just that the Four Seas Gang is not Jiahe, Chen Yonghe was about to turn his face on the spot, and was slapped on the shoulder by Liu Weimin. Liu Weimin said: "Andy, are you sure? β
"Uncle Liu, my Dark Horse International has just been established and is in urgent need of funds, and the drama "Police Story" was also filmed like this. Before the start of filming, I negotiated with Golden Harvest that I would sell the copyright to Golden Harvest for one dollar a year later. And they agreed. β
A professional film company like Golden Harvest can agree, why should you refuse? This is the subtext in Chen Ping'an's words, and it is also a disguised proof that he is about to start filming, and the popularity of Cheng DΓΉ will not be inferior to "Police Story".
