Volume 1 Chapter 155 The Gift
In order to ensure that the release of "Bloody Heroes" will not be worn by Xinyicheng, Fa Ge cannot take "Killer Leon". The best candidate in his mind can't take over the play, so Lin Xiaozhi can only make another choice.
Xu Jinjiang except for a slightly sharp eye, other conditions are more in line with the Renault template, Lin Xiaozhi looked at it more and more satisfied, after asking them, he learned that the filming of "The Case of the Three Wolves" that is now being filmed will be completed in early May at the latest, he decisively patted the table and promised to sign the two.
Although 89-year-old Liang Jiahui has won the actor crown for many years, he has never walked the template of his brother. In the past few years, Zhou Yunfa has been in the period of the best acting skills and rising fame, Liang Jiahui has been somewhat affected under the halo of Fa Ge, and the most obvious performance is in the salary, as an actor, but he can only get the salary of a first-tier and second-tier male artist. Lin Xiaozhi inquired a little, he was somewhat surprised that the salary for filming "The Case of the Three Wolves" was only 600,000, and he also had the idea of bringing the actor Liang Jiahui under his command, and happily offered him a contract of RU million.
Xu Jinjiang is cheaper than him, he has been in Hong Kong for many years, but he has just diluted his 'mainland, identity, in the extremely xenophobic Hong Kong entertainment industry, his salary has not been high, and his salary has been revolving in the 100,000 yuan before filming "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers". After the filming of "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers", Xu Jinjiang barely ranked among the third-rate artists, and his salary in "The Case of the Three Wolves" is said to be about 180,000. Lin Xiaozhi thought about it and gave a contract of 300,000.
Fa Ge can't star in "Bloody Heroes", which is not necessarily a bad thing. You must know that the contract he prepared for Fa Ge before Lu Dao, in order to impress the actor, he gave 00,000 plus a box office dividend of no less than 500,000 after the end of the film screening, such a good condition, and the salary offered to him is almost close to 3 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not only a burden for the budget of "Killer Leon", but also dilutes the box office dividend that can be obtained after the release of the "Killer Leon" movie for New Asia, a medium-sized film company.
In contrast, Liang Jiahui and Xu Jinjiang, who were unexpectedly signed, used New Asia's salary of more than one million, and directly saved a budget of one or two million, which will undoubtedly make the movie shoot better.
May l is Labor Day, but Hong Kong does not have the concept of L, it is still a busy day.
If I want to say that this Monday is different from the past, it is probably that three and a half things happened in this day. On this day, the Soviet Union announced that General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev would visit China on May 16 and that he would visit North Korea, Vietnam, and India after a two-day stay in Beijing. Golden Harvest has been filming "Miracle" in Zhang Luo since the end of last year, after experiencing the injury of the eldest brother Cheng Long, and finally released the news on this day, the film will also hold a midnight preview on May 14, according to Golden Harvest's consistent style, it is not surprising that the film will land in theaters around May 15 to meet the audience. Liang Jiahui and Xu Jinjiang, the two leading actors of "Killer Leon", also came to ATV on this day and signed a contract carefully prepared for them by Lin Xiaozhi, and a new film was announced to enter the preparation stage.
As for the half of the matter, even Lin Xiaozhi himself forgot that this day was his birthday.
"Bang Bang ......"
There was a knock on the door, and Lin Xiaozhi, who was looking through the information of the ATV girl star sent below, answered without raising his head: "Come in"
Then, with the sound of the roots of the heels stomping on the ground, a fragrant wind hit.
"Mr. Lin, the ticket to Taiwan has been booked, it is the Cathay Pacific flight at noon on the 4th, here is the ticket ......"
The soft and pleasing voice was none other than his beautiful secretary Zhou Huimin.
"Thank you for your hard work" Lin Xiaozhi just glanced up at her, smiled and said thank you, and his brows furrowed, "Secretary Zhou, is this all the ATV girl star files?" ”
He tapped through the few books on his desk, the expression on his face revealing his master's displeasure.
Zhou Huimin nodded, "A few days ago, I took Vice President Lin's approval and went to ATV's archives department, and I have already transferred most of the ATV girl star files, if Mr. Lin is still not satisfied, I can go to the archives department to look through it again." However, there is only one approval slip left on Assistant Wu's side, Vice President Lin......"
Since ATV sold the shares of New Asia to him, New Asia has lost the previous convenience of being able to borrow the crew and equipment at will just with the approval of the president of the film company, and even enter the archives department of the Ministry of Personnel to look through the artist's files at will. However, Lin Xiaozhi is also an ordinary person. He had contact with Lin Jianming a few times, and after finding that Lin Jianming was very talkative, he asked him for some of his signature slips, which were used to secondment the crew and enter the archives department to find information, etc. However, although Lin Jianming also helped him sign more than a dozen tickets at the beginning, Xinya used it too quickly, no, it was used up in only two or three months.
Lin Xiaozhi frowned when he heard this, and then nodded: "I will go to ask Vice President Lin for a few more approvals in a few days, you take the last one first and then go to the ATV Archives Department, you can bring two people over to help you." I'll lower the restrictions by one more level, and get me a copy of all the girl star files born in 70 years, which will be used in the new movie."
"Good"
She answered, but didn't immediately leave.
Lin Xiaozhi was about to get up and pour himself a cup of black tea, when Zhou Huimin suddenly stepped forward, took out a small-looking but beautifully packaged gift box from the pocket of his coat, and handed it to him: "Mr. Lin, happy birthday?" ”
Lin Xiaozhi was stunned, "Happy birthday?" ”
He was stunned for a while before he reacted, it turned out that May l was his birthday in this life. Some smiles were squeezed out of his face, and his feelings were forgotten even by himself.
Zhou Huimin is his personal secretary, and there are many documents that need Lin Xiaozhi's signature or use his identity information in the documents that she usually takes, and it is rare for her to remember her birthday, which also makes Lin Xiaozhi's heart warm slightly. smiled and nodded: "Thank you, thank you, if you don't remind me, even I will forget about myself."
He took the gift box, and the irritability in his heart that he had never found a suitable little Lori also faded a lot.
"It's not a precious thing, but I hope Mr. Lin likes it."
Zhou Huimin smiled and said, although the relationship between the two was slightly awkward for a while with the previous Lin family lunch, but this embarrassment gradually faded with time and busyness at work, at least from the perspective of the last week, Zhou Huimin no longer rejects staying in an office with him when no one is around.
After shaking the gift, Lin Xiaozhi smiled and said, "This is the first gift I received this year, Xie Luxie"
Zhou Huimin saw that he liked it, and was about to go out with a smile, when suddenly Lin Xiaozhi seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said, "By the way, Secretary Zhou." I'll ask Xiao Zhu to send me the publisher's information in Taiwan that I asked him to inquire about, and I'll take a look."
"Good"
Zhou Huimin answered, turned around and slowly walked out of his office and closed the door.
Lin Xiaozhi looked at her graceful figure, and I don't know why Lu Dao suddenly thought of Li Jiaxin, who had a dewy relationship with him, and a fluctuation in his heart disturbed his thoughts for no reason.
Lighting a cigarette for himself, he smoked for a while before opening the beautifully packaged gift box that Zhou Huimin gave him, which contained a beautifully made wallet, and then looked at the COACH logo in the lower corner, it was still made by Kou Chi Company, and the price should not be cheap, at least it looked much better than the Jinlilai he was using now.
Hearing another knock on the door of the office, Lin Xiaozhi put his wallet in the drawer and answered. Immediately, Zhu Zhishan walked in with a stack of documents.
"Mr. Lin, this is the publisher information we have collected in Taiwan these days"
Zhu Zhishan put a stack of documents on Lin Xiaozhi's desk, he picked up the top one and opened it, and pointed to the bench over there without raising his head, "Sit, I'll take a look at the information first, and there may be some places to ask you later."
"Yes"
After Zhu Zhishan sat down on the sofa, Lin Xiaozhi looked down.
As China's largest island, Taiwan Province has not returned to the embrace of the motherland just like Hong Kong due to problems left over from history. Relying on the general environment of the world in the 50s and 60s, Taiwan and Hong Kong, which have been flying high economically for 20 or 30 years, are among the four Asian tigers and are currently one of the most developed provinces and autonomous regions in China. The development of the economy, coupled with the same blood flowing on the body, has naturally made Taiwan Province the largest foreign market for Hong Kong films, with a total box office of about 17 in Taiwan in 19RR. l 100 million Taiwan dollars, which is equivalent to about 8.5 billion Hong Kong dollars according to last year's exchange rate, is only slightly smaller than Hong Kong's own port.
It seems that the huge box office market in Taiwan is not large, but it is not. In order to prevent the infiltration of the opponent, but also to prevent millions of defeated soldiers and millions of strong men who were coerced to miss the mainland, the Taiwan authorities imposed martial law on the province in the following decades, not only the media was controlled by the authorities, but even the film industry became weaker and weaker in the show that it could not be filmed and that could not be filmed, and a large number of film talents were obviously coerced from the mainland. But in the end, it became a deformed film industry that could only shoot praises to Jiang's father and son and the authorities, and only Qiong Yao's disease-free moaning could make a lot of money.
There are no movies in Taiwan, which is a consensus among the film circles of Asian countries. Although with the death of Prince Chiang in recent years, the collapse of the Chiang dynasty has given a glimmer of development to the Taiwanese film industry. However, Taiwan's own box office market has completely degenerated into a battlefield for other countries' film exports and competition for the box office. In the past, Japanese films, which once monopolized more than half of Taiwan's box office, have been completely driven out of the province by the angry Taiwanese people's boycott and ferocious Hong Kong films in the sixties and seventies in the many diplomatic turmoil between Japan and Taiwan. Southeast Asian and South Asian films are generally not popular in Taiwan, and now, it is not Taiwan's local films that are being staged in Taiwan Province for box office hegemony, but Hong Kong films and American Hollywood blockbusters that have arrived across the ocean.
