"Mr. Shen, you bought more than 200 movies before, and you only spent a little more than 1ouu Hong Kong dollars in total." After Zou Wenhuai's Rolls-Royce left, Gu Liwei hugged the briefcase and said: "Golden Harvest only has 95 movies, even if there is Bruce Lee, there is no need for such a high price as Ruo US dollars, right?" When I was studying in the United States, my friends and classmates around me had never seen his films. ”

"Just because there are still many people in the world who haven't seen Bruce Lee, I opened Ruo 10,000 dollars, and grabbed it first when Golden Harvest didn't react." Shen Chong pulled the car door and said, "If everyone in the world has seen his movie, what else can I buy back?" ”

No movie, no matter how classic it is, can not be released on a large scale and for a long time, and when Bruce Lee was radiant, the tape was not yet clear, and many people had not seen his films, which is not surprising. And Bruce Lee's kung fu charm has been proven by time to transcend races, countries and eras, so his four films, just like Disney cartoons, are the most valuable treasures in film history.

It's just that Golden Harvest is not strong enough, his hands and feet are not long enough, his vision is limited, and he can't afford to play tricks, so he can only collect some stills copyright fees from newspapers and magazines every year, if it is in the hands of media giants like Warner or Paramount, Bruce Lee's animation, comics, toys, costumes and other derivatives, I don't know how much will come out.

"And Vivian, don't be too mean in business, don't think about making as much money as possible, that's not good, leave some leeway, let the other party feel that it's earned and good for the future." Shen Chong got the Jiahe film library, he was in a good mood, he got into the car, and said at length as a teacher: "If I want to bargain with Jiahe, I will bargain for every penny, and finally buy it with two or three million, and take it back to make a videotape, if I make a lot of money, do you think Zou Wenhuai will be comfortable in his heart?" He will think that I am not kind and deliberately cheat him. This is not a one-shot deal, Golden Harvest is still producing and filming, in three or five years, there will be another 100 and 200 movies in the library, and then I will buy them, do you say Zou Wenhuai will still sell them to me? Now I use Ruo Wan to buy it, he feels that he has taken advantage of it, and even if he is red in the future, he can only blame himself for not having enough vision, and he can't blame me. ”

Gu Liwei lowered her eyebrows and said nothing.

"Mr. Shen, where are you going?"

"What time is Run Run Shaw's dinner?"

"At seven o'clock in the evening, at the villa in Clear Water Bay." Gu Liwei turned around and said, "Mr. Shen, you still have a meeting with Chairman Chen at five o'clock." ”

"Then let's go back to the company first." Shen Chong picked up the briefcase next to the seat, took out a stack of papers from it, and said: "I heard that Run Run Shaw bought a Rolls-Royce and converted the back seat into an office, so that he can work on the road. ”

Gu Liwei pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Did Mr. Zou agree to go to the award ceremony?" ”

"As long as I can ask Run Run Shaw to move, he will accompany him." Shen Chong smiled and said, "Vivian, do you think I should invest in an optical store?" These two stand together to present the award, and they will definitely fall through the glasses of many people. ”

"I think so." Gu Liwei said: "Mr. Shen asked everyone to sign a confidentiality agreement, except for the preparatory committee, even those judges don't know the specific content of the award ceremony, and when the TV broadcasts, there will be surprises." ”

"The award ceremony is a new thing, and only by maintaining a certain sense of mystery can we arouse the curiosity of the audience and maintain the attention." Shen Chong looked at Wen Jiàn and said: "Information is a resource, it must be used in a planned way, just like eating, chewing and swallowing slowly one dish at a time, in order to eat the taste, all the information is made public at once, which is equivalent to pouring a large bottle of Coke to everyone before the banquet, and when the main meal comes up, who still has the appetite to eat." ”

Gu Liwei looked thoughtful, and after a while, she asked, "Mr. Shen, will the sixth uncle agree to come to present the award?" I've heard that he rarely attends public events. ”

"Run Run Shaw is a businessman, a pure businessman." Shen Chong looked up at her and said, "It's better for a businessman to speak, as long as I have a big deal in my hands, he will definitely come." ”

Gu Liwei thought that Shen Chong was talking about the video tape business, so she did the math and said, "There are at least 500 movies in the Shaw Brothers library, right?" Fifty, eighty, forty, 4ouu dollars, it is indeed a big deal. ”

"That's not what I'm talking about." Shen Chong shook his head and said: "Although the number of Shaw Brothers film libraries is large, the quality and influence are not as good as those of Golden Harvest, if you don't have so much money, I'm talking about "Die Hard". ”

"Isn't "Die Hard" a collaboration with Golden Harvest?"

"That's right." Shen Chong pressed his knee against Wen Jiàn, signed at the door, and then said: "But I only signed a cooperation agreement with Jiahe for five plays, "Rules" counts as one, "Fierce List" released after the Spring Festival counts as one, plus "Die Hard", there are already three, and our company will shoot at least ten more dramas this year, the small production of "Rules" has sold more than 7oo box office, although no one knows how much "Die Hard" can sell now, but this kind of publicity momentum and production cost, is destined to make steady profits and not lose money, Shaw Brothers' own dramas this year, the box office is very dismal, if I tell Run Run Shaw, I will continue to invest in making large-scale Zuò movies, and I intend to cooperate with Shaw Brothers, do you think he will be tempted? I just asked him to present the award, not to ask him to kill people and set fires. ”

"Ah Chong, this is the second round of shortlisted films after our review." Chen Baisheng handed a list to Shen Chong and said: "There are 1o candidates for Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress and other awards, and there are five candidates. ”

Shen Chong looked up in surprise and asked, "Did the mainland send the copy?" ”

"Officially, not yet." Chen Baisheng said with a smile: "I went to Liao Yiyuan, the manager of Xinlian, who communicated in the middle and borrowed a copy from the Guangzhou branch of China Film. ”

"Brother Chen, you really have it." Shen Chong has been busy recently, and he has been thinking about going to Beijing, and he forgot to go through the back door for a while, he looked at the list and asked: "I haven't seen Mr. Liao for a while, what has he been busy with lately?" ”

"I don't know, he's been very busy lately, and he often goes to Guangzhou, and this copy was brought by him from Guangzhou in person."

Could it be that the entry of Hong Kong films into Guangdong for screening has eyebrows?

Gotta find a time to ask......

Shen Chong pressed his thoughts, drew lines on the list with a pen, and muttered: ""Crazy Robbery", "Legend in the Mountains", "Empty Mountain Spiritual Rain", "Pointing Soldiers", "From Slave to General", "Little Flower", "Heliocentric Like an Arrow", "The Gunfire of the Secret Bureau", "Seven Sesame Officials", ...... "Tales of a Small Town". ”

After reading it, he looked up and said, "Isn't there "Butterfly Transformation"? ”

"Tsui Hark's play, there are novelties and creativity, but it is not good enough, many key places cannot be explained, there is no beginning and no end, there is a lack of logic, the story cannot be justified, and the characters are superficial, the scenery, costumes, shapes, props and even the style of the whole movie are not unified and disorganized, so in the second round of voting, it was brushed down."

"That's a shame." Tsui Hark's film debut is not a small fame, but it has mixed reputations, and it is not surprising that it was not selected for best film, he looked at the list and said: "There are five films in the mainland, and only one in Taiwan?" ”

"Legend in the Mountains" is Taiwanese." Chen explained: "We are determined by the investor, and Huang Zhuohan is Taiwanese. ”

"It's fine." Shen Chong nodded and said, "So as not to embarrass Taiwan." ”

"It's a pity that Lao Luo went to do the final review, and he can't watch the copy from the mainland in advance, otherwise he will definitely break his promise and take back the bet with you on who won the best movie." Chen Baisheng said with a smile: "The ten movies in the mainland are all high-quality films, if it weren't for the fact that several of them were too politically promoted, "Tales of a Small Town" might have been brushed off. ”

"Is it that good?"

"In terms of filming techniques, the mainland is not outstanding, but they shoot finely, the actors are of high level, and the characters are well portrayed, even if they don't agree with the political truth, they will remember the character image." Chen Baisheng picked up the porcelain cup, took a sip of tea, and said: "I like "Seven Sesame Officials" the most, although it is a drama movie, I can't understand the lyrics, I can only read the subtitles, but the acting is really good, the singing and writing are good, the film is more than two hours long, not boring at all, it opened my eyes." ”

"Seven Sesame Officials", also known as "Tang Zhi County Trial Order", is a comedy Qing official drama by the famous Henan opera Niu Decao, with a vivid plot and funny performances, it is a very classic drama movie, in which the line "Being an official is not for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes" has been widely circulated and has almost become a folk song.

This movie has been screened for a long time between the villages in the mainland during the Ru era, Shen Chong watched it more than once when he was a child, and he was very impressed.

Drama movies are a niche genre, and "Seven Sesame Officials" is a local drama in Henan, and it can stand out in the eyes of a group of Hong Kong editors and be shortlisted for the best movie, so Shen Chong was shocked when he saw the list

"Except for "Seven Sesame Officials"." Chen Baisheng put down the cup and said with regret: "There is another movie that has been brushed off, I think it's a pity." ”

"What movie?"

"Nezha in the Sea". Chen Baisheng said: "A cartoon produced by Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio, with bright colors, elegant style, rich imagination, no worse than Disney, but unfortunately it is an animated film, in a bunch of live-action movies, it is a bit nondescript, and it was finally rejected." ”

"Plus awards, plus awards" Shen Chong immediately said: "Plus the Best Animated Feature Film Award." ”

"But there is only one animated film "What a Troubled Sea", lonely and without competition, isn't it a bit nonsensical to set up this award?"

"There is no competition, and even if there are competitors, this film will definitely be the winner." Shen Chong made a final decision and said: "Animated films are indispensable and must be encouraged. Otherwise, it's not called the Best Animated Feature Award, it's called the Academy Award for Best Animated Film, a special trophy. ”

After thinking about it, he said: "There are also animated short films, short films are done, and feature films have a future, set up a best animated short film award, if I remember correctly, the two sides of the strait and the three places produced some animated short films last year, and this award is competitive, and some are engaged." ”

"What about copies?"

"You send someone from Hong Kong to find it, and Taiwan asks Zhuo Botang to find it." Shen Chong looked at his watch and said, "I'll go to the mainland, I won't delay this time, I'll call tomorrow morning." ”
