Chapter 523: Man Under the Low Eaves

"Isn't there a second way?" Wu Yusen asked a little unwillingly, he really didn't want to be locked up by the deed of sale.

"Old Wu, be realistic." Xu Ke persuaded, "Actually, you don't have to mind too much about the ten-year death contract, Hollywood directors also sign with brokerage companies and let them help manage their film contracts." ”

"I know, but Hollywood agencies are not allowed to run film companies, so as to ensure that the agency strives for the best interests of the director. But now that Yongsheng Entertainment is a production company and an agency at the same time, how can he ensure that my interests are maximized? Wu Yusen shook his head and said.

If his salary in the market is 200,000, and because of the contract, Yongsheng is only willing to offer himself a salary of 50,000. At that time, even if I don't want to take on this movie anymore, I have to take over because of the contract. In this way, his own losses are too heavy.

"You also said, isn't there a clause in the contract that 'helps the director fight for a reasonable salary', I think this clause should be able to guarantee your interests." Xu Ke said, "Besides, the film company will not be too short-sighted, if the oppression is too ruthless, when the director shoots randomly, the film company will also suffer heavy losses." ”

"It would be nice if Hong Kong filmmakers had a well-established and strong trade union like Hollywood, and then they could help us fight for profit." Wu Yusen heard Xu Ke say this, and he had no confidence.

In the crew, the power of the producer is above the director, and if the director shoots indiscriminately, the producer can replace the director at any time, so the director's interests can never be accurately protected.

"Don't think about it, now that Hong Kong films are about to usher in the era of oligarchs, these film companies will not allow trade unions to exist." Xu Ke shook his head and persuaded.

Trade unions protect the interests of employees. And what the film company wants to ensure is its own interests. There is a certain overlap of interests between the two, which will naturally cause a lot of friction.

Hollywood's major trade unions often quarrel with film companies to fight for the greater interests of their members, and strikes, marches, demonstrations, and sit-ins are also happening from time to time, which makes film companies feel a headache.

It's just that the laws in the United States are relatively perfect, and the power of trade unions is also very strong. Even these studios can't ban them.

However, Hong Kong's filmmakers' union has not yet been established, and its strength is naturally out of reach. And if anyone dares to talk about this kind of thing, I'm afraid that the three major film companies will not agree.

In the previous life, the Hong Kong Actors' Union, the Directors Union and other filmmakers' unions were basically established in the 90s after the three major film companies lost control.

Now that the three-line alliance is about to be created, the power of the three major film companies has been further strengthened. If anyone dares to mention the formation of a filmmakers' union, I am afraid that they will be banned by the three major film companies immediately.

The shape is stronger than people, Wu Yusen hesitated again and again. I can only choose to sign this deed of sale. Otherwise, if you don't sign it now, and then sign it in the future, I'm afraid you won't even get such a contract.

……

After Wu Yusen signed the deed of sale depressedly, he turned around and came out of the artist department, and saw Han Jinzheng talking to the police.

"Officer Li, this incident has a very bad impact on our company, and I hope the police can do their best to solve this case." Han Jin said.

"Mr. Han. I'll send someone to investigate, do you have any new news. You can also contact me in time. This is my business card. This Officer Li also said politely to Han Jin.

No way, who made Han Jin a rich man. Although the Hong Kong police serve the public, in fact, more often than not, they still serve rich people like Han Jin.

For example, there are not many residents in the Mid-Levels of Hong Kong, but the density of police resources is the largest, because the residents of the Mid-Levels are all rich people, and their safety must be guaranteed.

For example, Han Jin's company was threatened this time. Immediately after the phone call, a police officer led the team. If it's an ordinary civilian, it's good to have a police officer come and check it out.

"Okay, then I'll wait for good news from the police." Han Jin took the business card and said.

After investigation, the police took away the cardboard boxes and cards as important physical evidence.

Wu Yusen saw that Han Jin was done, so he stepped forward.

"How. Director Wu, have you signed the contract? Han Jin asked with a smile.

Wu Yusen's face twitched unconsciously, and the anger in his heart was still gone, he was very aggrieved when he signed this contract.

"I'm done, I'm not strong, thank you for your care." He said through gritted teeth.

Han Jin could hear that he was resentful, but he didn't care.

The brother is still settling accounts, Han Jin is now doing business, and he is not opening a good hall, so he naturally has to consider his own interests.

Hong Kong directors have a problem, they like to be their own bosses, and they don't like to help others. And Taiwanese and Nanyang film dealers have money in their hands, once a director makes two blockbuster films, a film dealer will immediately come to the door and invest in him to film. Like Gao Zhisen, Wang Jing, Wang Jiawei, Du Qifeng, etc., they all started their businesses like this back then.

This also leads to the lack of talent in the film company, and a director who has just become popular will immediately set up his own business, causing a very big loss to the company. And in the long run, no one dares to use new people.

After the 90s, the decline of Hong Kong films is certainly due to changes in the external environment, and the discontinuation and lack of internal talents are also one of the reasons.

Film companies dare not praise newcomers, and newcomer directors will have no chance to ascend, and naturally they will never be trained and recognized.

In the 80s, many great directors emerged in the Hong Kong film industry, such as Xu Ke, Wang Jing, Wu Yusen, Wang Jiawei, Liu Zhenwei, Chen Jiashang, Chen Kexin, Er Dongsheng, Gao Zhisen, etc., etc., and so on, benefiting the nineties.

But after the 90s, Hong Kong almost no more influential directors, I have to say that it is a big loss for Hong Kong films.

Because without a good director, there will be no good movies, and without good movies, Hong Kong films will not be revitalized...... Under the vicious circle, it is no wonder that now we can only rely on a group of veterans to support the scene.

Wang Jing and Xu Ke have been from the 80s to the present, nearly 40 years, and they are still the main force of Hong Kong films. It's a very abnormal thing in itself.

Like Hollywood, it takes about ten years to change a generation, so that it can always maintain its vitality and innovate. Unlike Hong Kong films, which have to fry cold rice every year, Wang Jing's gambling films, Huang Baiming's family carnival, and Liu Zhenwei's big talk series are all disgusting to watch.

Han Jin is now locking up Wu Yusen with a ten-year death contract. and set a sky-high liquidated damages, just because he didn't want him to jump ship after becoming famous. If you want to change jobs, you must finish the past ten years first, otherwise you will pay tens of millions of liquidated damages.

He did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to let him turn over, naturally because he didn't want others to pick the fruits of victory halfway.

Therefore, although Wu Yusen felt aggrieved after signing the deed of sale, in Han Jin's opinion, it was a way to do it.

"Okay, it's good to sign it, then let's start preparing right away without further ado." Han Jin smiled.

Wu Yusen also nodded. This movie was bought by him, and it can be said that it means a lot to him. If you don't shoot well, then it's not worth selling yourself. So he secretly vowed in his heart that he must make this movie well.

……

After the script and actors were decided, the preparation for the filming of "The True Color of Heroes" began immediately.

In Hong Kong in the 80s, everything was about mentioning.

From the establishment of a film to the start of filming to the completion to the release, it will take no more than half a year at most.

In terms of actors, Wu Yusen is responsible for contacting Di Long, Zhou Yan, Zeng Qian and other actors. Han Jin took over the responsibility of contacting Wu Qiwei, Zhang Guorong, and Liu Jialing.

He, Wu Qiwei and others haven't sat together for some days, either he is busy or others are busy. Anyway, I'm so busy that I can't find a time to sit down and have a beer.

Yixiaolou, Han Jin booked a seat early and invited Liu Jialing, Wu Qiwei, Liu Qingyun, Shang Tian'e, Wu Junru and others to drink tea.

"Ah Jin, why is there such a good interest today, and you have all of us here?" Wu Junru saw Han Jin. I couldn't help but laugh and tease.

"I miss you." Han Jin also smiled, which made Wu Junru's eyes suddenly glow with little stars.

"Alright, you can sit down first, less nymphomaniac. Ah Jin is my person now, you don't want to beat him for his crooked ideas. Zeng Huaqian pulled Wu Junru to sit down and said.

Wu Qiwei, Shang Tian'e, and Liu Jialing also sat down in 6 consecutive years.

Wu Qiwei is now running both TV and movies. A few days ago, he just filmed the TV series "Chu Han Hero", in which he played the sinister and cunning Liu Bang, and he still has a consistent traitorous line.

Earlier, he didn't like to play the traitor very much, but after being enlightened by Han Jin, there is nothing wrong with playing the traitor now.

If he plays the leading role, let's not say whether he has a chance, even if he gets the opportunity to play the leading role, whether he can leave an impression is two things. But there are more opportunities to play a traitor, and it is actually easier to be brilliant and remembered than to play the protagonist.

Wu Qiwei took on a few dramas on TVB, all of which played traitors, and immediately became a popular villain in Hong Kong as soon as the two dramas were filmed.

However, unlike villains like Huang Rihua, if they go to the street, they are usually surrounded by teenage fans asking for autographs. And if he goes on the street, he will usually be looked down upon, and sometimes he even has rotten eggs thrown at him, which makes Wu Qiwei really painful and happy.

In addition to making TV series, he has also made several movies, and he is a second-tier actor who is emerging, and his future is generally optimistic. It's only been two years since his debut, and he has already made a name for himself, and he has bought a house for his family and a car for himself.

Shang Tian'e is now mainly staying in TVB to film, because of his good acting skills and hearty personality, he is also very popular in TVB. Although she doesn't look like a natural fragrance, she is very popular with the audience, and now she is second only to Zhao Yazhi, Zheng Yuling and other sisters.

However, because of her limited appearance, it is a little difficult for her to enter the film industry. Because the film industry now has higher requirements for the quality of actresses, actresses who are not beautiful generally do not have very good exhibitions.

is like Ma Sichen, who won the Best Newcomer Award at the Academy Awards for his role in "Running to the Angry Sea", his acting skills are absolutely first-class, comparable to old drama bones, but because he is not beautiful enough, the exhibition is very restricted. It's hard to sit on the heroine anymore, and now I can only play a small supporting role.

Liu Jialing is better than Shang Tian'ezhan, she just graduated from the training class, and immediately sat on the heroine, co-starring with Liang Wei in "Reprinter". Later, he co-starred with Huang Rihua in "The Prodigal Son of the Rivers and Lakes", co-starred with Miao Qiaowei in "Qingfeng Sword Shadow", and co-starred with Liu Dehua in "Take Care of the Emperor......

All the dramas are heroines, and she is the most smooth one in the training class. In comparison, even the most popular Zeng Huaqian, who has graduated for so long, only took over the filming of the first drama "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" this year.

Wu Junru is a little inferior to Shang Tian'e and Liu Jialing, because she is not too beautiful, so the exhibition is also restricted. The heroine doesn't have her share, so she can only play some supporting actresses who are not very outstanding.

Fortunately, Wu Junru was born an optimist and didn't care about these things, and still laughed every day. Anyway, he has his father's blessing, and he is well-connected in the entertainment industry, otherwise how could he be on Hong Jingbao's "Summer Lucky Star"? ! (To be continued!)
