Chapter Eighty-Eight: Fa Ge Treats
Thank you for the evaluation votes.
Lin Qingxia took the initiative to join Dark Horse International, which was definitely a surprise for Chen Ping'an. But he still endured the huge ** and temporarily refused. The reason is that the current scale of Dark Horse International is not worthy of Lin Qingxia, and wait until next year Dark Horse International becomes one of the largest film companies in Hong Kong, and then hold a large-scale press conference to announce Lin Qingxia's joining in a high-profile manner, so as to meet Lin Qingxia's popularity.
When Chen Ping'an drove away, he seemed to see Lin Qingxia's expression with a little loss.
It's not that he pretends to be B, so a big star fool like Lin Qingxia doesn't sign it, but the problem is that it's really not suitable to sign now. Since the establishment of Dark Horse International, almost all of the artists signed have just debuted and have not yet become famous, or are at a low point in their lives. Even if Zhou Runfa joined Dark Horse International, he was only a big hit on TV before joining Dark Horse International, and the movie was called "box office".
Before the arrival of Shaw Brothers Cinemas, Dark Horse International must maintain a low profile. The company is small, has few employees, and also diversifies investments, buys houses when you have money, and does not have much ambition in movies, even if "The True Color of Heroes" is a big hit, it is to make money. Dark Horse International must create a false impression that it is the best independent film company with a small scale.
In the entertainment industry, there are too many things that harm others and are not good for themselves, and they can't see the good of others, and Chen Ping'an has seen and experienced too many in later generations. At present, his cooperation with Shaw Brothers, don't look at his superficial scenery, he is actually passive, otherwise Fang Yihua's tough personality will never agree to cooperate.
Lin Qingxia is an absolute big name, if she signs it now, with Fang Yihua's shrewdness, she can definitely see Chen Ping'an's ambitions, and when she competes with Pan Disheng for the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, she will definitely fall behind.
Shaw Brothers was liquidated, but the dark horse international, which had long been ambitious, set sail, and Shaw Brothers became someone else's wedding dress and was ridiculed, will Shaw Brothers and Fang Yihua do it?
Sister Qingxia, wait for me, I will definitely sign you next year!
After leaving the crew, Chen Ping'an devoted himself to volunteer work again. 120 hours of hours, three hours a day, if it weren't for the fact that he had been accompanying Luo Dayou to form a dark horse record some time ago, and had not volunteered for many days, he had done it all now.
……
Two days later, Chen Ping'an finished his volunteer work and took the dwarf cow to Yung Kee Restaurant in the evening to make an appointment with Chow Yun-fat.
The hot screening of "The True Color of Heroes" made Zhou Yan red through the film industry, and the film appointments have been like snow for a while, and he is dizzy and dizzy when he is busy. This afternoon, I deliberately ended work early from the set and invited Chen Ping'an to a banquet, in addition to expressing my gratitude, I also wanted to introduce two friends to Chen Ping'an - Zhang Guozhong and Li Xiaolin.
He and Zhang Guozhong have known each other for a long time and are very good friends, two years ago, he joined the Shadow Dancer Company and met another boss of the company, Li Xiaolin. Although the Shadow Dancer Company broke up this year and he joined Dark Horse International, the friendship between the three is still there.
In fact, in this banquet, in addition to Zhou Yanfa wanting to express his gratitude, there were also Zhang Guozhong and Li Xiaolin who wanted to get acquainted with Chen Ping'an.
After learning the names and origins of Zhang Guozhong and Li Xiaolin from Zhou Yanfa, Chen Ping'an immediately guessed the intentions of these two people. These two men have been coveted for a long time, and they are also a key link in his vast plan. In his plan, he planned to complete 120 hours of volunteer work, and then find the two of them through Guò Zhou Runfa, but he didn't expect that these two people couldn't wait and took the initiative to come to the door.
Chen Ping'an remained quiet, chatting while eating, chatting about all kinds of anecdotes in the current entertainment industry. For example, the Miss Asia pageant held by Asia Television for the first time this year, who will win the championship and which beauty is good-looking; The interesting things encountered during the filming of "The True Color of Heroes", Zhou Yunfa initially proposed that he did not want to be paid, Zhang Guorong was worried that Chen Ping'an did not have enough money and said that he could lend money to Chen Ping'an.
In the end, Zhang Guozhong couldn't bear it anymore and said, "I don't know if Mr. Chen has noticed that your company has a big problem that needs to be solved urgently." If you don't solve the problem, I am afraid that it will restrict the development of your company. ”
"What did you say!" The dwarf cow immediately slapped the table and glared, not allowing anyone to say that Chen Ping'an was not.
Chen Ping'an stopped the dwarf cow and said with a smile: "I want to hear about it." ”
Zhang Guozhong changed the topic and talked about Zhou Yunfa's recent rush to catch up with the crew.
The success of "The True Color of Heroes" is most directly reflected in Zhou Yunfa, that is, his salary has risen from 500,000 to 1 million, and a large number of film companies have invited him to film. Even in Taiwan, which has not yet been released, there are film companies that have sent invitations, wanting to take advantage of the release of "The True Color of Heroes" in Taiwan in October to take a ride to make money.
In this regard, Chen Ping'an continued to pretend to be stupid, patted Zhou Yanfa's arm and sighed: "Brother Fa has worked hard. ”
"Didn't Mr. Chen think about why Ah Fa worked so hard!" Zhang Guozhong couldn't sit still anymore, "Actually, Ah Fa doesn't have to be so busy!" ”
"Oh, why?"
"Because he lacks a qualified broker, to be precise, your company does not have a qualified broker!" This time it was Li Xiaolin who spoke.
This is what Zhang Guozhong and Li Xiaolin are intending to do today!
Why doesn't Chen Ping'an know? Now in the company, the role of agent is temporarily played by Zhang Ziyang and Wang Jing, and even if there is a chance, Chen Ping'an will take the initiative to come forward and take over the work for the company's artists. Fortunately, there are not many artists under the company, including Zhang Manyu, Liang Jiahui, Li Zixiong, Zhou Yanfa, Wang Guxian, and Wu Mengda, among which Liang Jiahui was also banned by Taiwan and temporarily turned behind the scenes, Zhang Ziyang and Wang Jing can barely cope with it, but it is only reluctantly.
As explained above, the current extremely non-standard operation of Dark Horse International was deliberately done by Chen Ping'an to confuse Fang Yihua, otherwise he would not have been thinking about Zhang Guozhong and Li Xiaolin, the two gold medal agents.
Since these two people took the initiative to mention it today, he took the opportunity to throw an olive branch and prepared to include the two under his command.
Zhang Guozhong and Li Xiaolin are not young people who have just debuted, they scoff at Chen Ping'an's recruitment, they want better conditions - cooperation! Before coming, the two had thought about it and planned to set up a special agency company to act as an agent for the brokerage contracts of Hong Kong star artists.
Nowadays, there is no such company in Hong Kong, and the brokerage company they envisioned is a new thing. The reason why Chen Ping'an was chosen to cooperate is because Dark Horse International is small in scale, with few artists but high quality, Chen Ping'an is young and non-conformist, and is the most suitable partner for cooperation.
As for the share structure of this new model company, Chen Ping'an can hold 40% of the shares, but he shall not interfere with the operation of the company.
It's so beautiful! Borrow my chickens to give birth to your bullets, do you really think that I am young and can be deceived?
Chen Ping'an sneered in his heart, did not refute it, but vigorously praised the ideas of the two, and then changed the conversation: "I have a question." Take Fa Ge as an example, if you are Fa Ge's agent, and there are more than a dozen film companies that want to invite him to film at the same time, how do you arrange it? ”
"Look at the salary and script, and choose the most cost-effective."
"Then what if more than a dozen companies have backgrounds, and you promise this one to reject that one, and you annoy the other party, and the other party points a gun at you and forces you? If you don't get it right, you'll die! ”
This is not Chen Ping'an's words and intimidation, Zhang Guozhong in later generations was indeed pointed at gunpoint because of the issue of his artist's film contract.
Zhang Guozhong's uncle is Tan Yonglin, who established Zhucheng Film Company with Teddy Luo Bin in the 70s, and is very familiar with the situation in the circle. Before he and Li Xiaolin discussed the formation of a new company, just thinking about the benefits, he didn't think about the right and wrong of people and the infiltration of gangsters in the film industry.
At this moment, Chen Ping'an was alerted, and the two suddenly realized, and they were speechless for a while.
"Two days ago, there was a film company with a community background in Taiwan that wanted to find Sister Qingxia to film. sent someone to Hong Kong, threw a box of money at Sister Qingxia's house and left, so that she had to ask Xu Laowei for leave, to suspend the filming of "Dao Ma Dan", and go to Taiwan to film first. Do you know what happened next? ”
"What happened?"
Later, I only made a phone call, and the other party said that he would change the heroine, and the deposit paid to Sister Qingxia would be counted as compensation, and he also came to Hong Kong to make amends. The dwarf cow was there at the time, if you still don't believe it, you can go and ask Sister Qingxia, Honggu and Xu Laowei were also present at that time. ”
Zhang Li and Zhou Yunfa recalled at the same time that Chen Ping'an disappeared for many days last Christmas, and the black and white were dispatched at the same time, and they almost didn't turn Hong Kong over in order to find him. Afterwards, there were rumors that Chen Ping'an had a deep background, and the Hong Kong police also opened a file for Chen Ping'an.
"Boss, you ......"
"I'm just an ordinary person, I know a few uncles, but I can guarantee that my people will not be coerced." Speaking of this, Chen Ping'an suddenly sat up straight, his eyes blazing, and his whole body exuded the majesty of the superior: "Okay, I won't go around in circles with you, listen to my conditions." ”
Chen Ping'an's conditions are the same as those for Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng.
The establishment of Dark Horse International Brokerage Company was completely funded by him, and Zhang and Li enjoyed 20% of the dry shares. If Zhang and Li are willing to invest real money, then they can get up to 30% of the shares, and Dark Horse International will become a pure film company, and all its artists will be transferred to the agent company. The operation of the company is fully responsible for Zhang and Li, and under normal circumstances, Chen Ping'an will not interfere, just like the dark horse international record companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
At this time, Zhou Yanfa and the three of them knew that the person behind the dark horse international record company, which frequently appeared some time ago, was actually Chen Ping'an, and it was not a simple cooperation between Chen Ping'an and Luo Dayou as reported by the media; And Dark Horse Records, which has been established in Taiwan for more than half a year, is actually Chen Ping'an's industry......
And who said that this young man was only interested in making money? He has bigger career ambitions than we do! Zhang and Li glanced at each other, and their hearts were shocked. This kind of secret Chen Ping'an has sued them, can they still refuse?
It's just that two people can get a maximum of thirty percent of the shares, and such a ratio makes them hesitate.
However, when they heard that Chen Ping'an would set up a similar agency in the United States next year, it would be responsible for operating Hong Kong performing arts stars to develop in the United States in the early stage. If the two can satisfy him, then one is in charge of the Hong Kong brokerage company and the other is in charge of the American brokerage company, and the conditions remain completely unchanged, and the two can no longer be calm.
