"Mr. Wang, there is a Mr. Li who has made an appointment to meet you!"

Li Yi is Wang Zichuan's new secretary, Ye Zimei is still waiting for the film appointment in the artist department, everyone in the company is good friends with "Nightclub", but she can't wait for "Nightclub" to be painted as soon as possible, and "Heaven and Earth" starring her will be released.

Wang Zichuan does not plan to let Zhang Yi come back, she has signed a B-level contract, officially become an artist under Ascendas Entertainment, his impression of Li Yi is flat, not only has he married and had children, his appearance is also average, the only commendable place is that the education is quite high, graduated from the Department of Chinese of the University of Hong Kong, and went to Cambridge in the United Kingdom for further study, obtained a master's title, a full academic school.

"Let him in!"

Wang Zichuan planned to meet Li Xiuxian yesterday, and Chen Baixiang said that he was arrogant and persistent, and he was raised to dry, which was why Li Xiuxian came to visit early in the morning.

Li Xiuxian entered Wang Zichuan's office, a little cramped, but his appearance was decent, he nodded lightly to Wang Zichuan, and introduced himself: "Hello Mr. Wang, I am Li Xiuxian, and I have also worked in the Xian clan before!" ”

How could Wang Zichuan not know his reputation, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, please take a seat, I have admired you and me for a long time!" ”

It's not a compliment to Li Xiuxian, Wang Zichuan really admires him, Li Xiuxian has lived in the slums since he was a child, where there is a miasma, and the gangster Ah Fei is rampant and domineering, and he has developed Li Xiuxian's jealous and hateful character, he has wanted to be a policeman since he was a child, and his volunteer is to arrest all the bad guys in the world. But when he applied for the police academy, he was resolutely prevented by his mother. At that time, there was a nest of police and bandits, and Li Xiuxian wanted to become a policeman. Maybe it's a bad thing.

The more you can't do it, the more persistent you are, which is also the origin of Li Xiuxian's police plot.

Li Xiuxian was slightly relieved, he was really worried that Wang Zichuan looked high, he would not flatter people, the more arrogant the other party, the heavier his rebellious thoughts, when he met such a person, not only could he not make friends, but he could not talk about things. On the contrary, he will be evil, he knows his character very well, but he can't change it.

"I also admire Mr. Wang's name for a long time, less than two years of hard work to create such a career, compared to you, I can be regarded as living to a dog, in 1970 I was admitted to the wireless training class, fifteen years, or nothing!" Li Xiuxian's feelings were low. Soon he was excited again, and the purpose of his coming today was to start a business.

Wang Zichuan comforted: "Who in Mr. Li's talent circle doesn't know, I remember that Mr. Li seems to have directed a film this year?" ”

Chen Baixiang inquired about this news, and Li Xiuxian directed and acted in a film in late April. The name is "Public Servant", a police and gangster film, which was completed in June. But a month has passed, and there is still no theater release.

Li Xiuxian said: "I came to my husband today to talk about the film. I have a police film in my hand, called "Public Servant". It is a film that depicts the Hong Kong police in a positive way, and I wanted to release the film in Oriental Cinemas. ”

"If the quality of the film is passable, it's totally fine!"

"The film is absolutely fine!" Li Xiuxian didn't think twice, he prepared for this film for nine months, just to make a splash and make a name for himself.

Wang Zichuan pondered for a while, made up his mind, and replied: "I can put "Public Servant" in the summer file, of course, the release time is only 19 days!" ”

Li Xiuxian was surprised and delighted, and blurted out: "No problem, Mr. Wang is really righteous, Brother Xun didn't lie to me!" ”

"Brother Xun?" Wang Zichuan wondered, could it be Chen Xunqi?

Li Xiuxian said: "It's Chen Xunqi of Yongfei Pictures, he introduced me, the film "Public Servant" has his investment, I wanted to get Golden Harvest to be released, but Brother Xun asked me to come to Mr. Wang to give it a try. ”

Wang Zichuan remembered that Chen Baixiang complained that the theater would show Fengyue films during the day, and he had an idea, and said with a smile: "Since it was introduced by Brother Chen, the film can be copied immediately, and "Nightclub" can be released when it is painted, four times a day, 24 days!" ”

For the sake of Chen Xunqi's face, Wang Zichuan added six more days to the screening time, and he planned to add two more screenings in the evening to screen "Heaven and Earth", so that eight screenings a day, the first four screenings of "Public Servant", and the last four screenings of "Heaven and Earth", which can not only comfort Chen Baixiang, but also be regarded as a thousand dollars to buy horse bones, after the summer file, the pressure on the theater will definitely increase, and attracting some high-quality films will help relieve the pressure on the company.

Li Xiuxian's expression was happy, and he was grateful beyond measure, he subconsciously took out a cigarette, and when he saw that there was no ashtray in Wang Zichuan's office, he put the cigarette back again, and said excitedly: "Thank you, Mr. Wang!" The films I make in the future will be released in Oriental Cinemas, if there is no schedule, I am willing to wait! ”

Wang Zichuan was slightly exposed, this Li Xiuxian lost his temper, from Chen Xunqi to Li Xiuxian, they were all worried about the theater, it seems that Jiahe and Princess Jin are really unpopular, and the exploitation is a bit excessive, and now he Wang Zichuan is just a fair deal, which has attracted them to be so grateful.

"Mr. Li took the copy to Manager Chen, and he will be responsible for the future, and "Nightclub" will be painted in two days, so don't delay the release time."

Li Xiuxian got up and thanked: "No problem, I'll send the copy over when I go back!" ”

Standing in place and hesitating for a while, Li Xiuxian rubbed his hands embarrassedly, he was really unspeakable about the following words, especially Wang Zichuan helped him so much.

Wang Zichuan admired the other party a little, such a straightforward person, he must be a good person, you treat him well, he will remember you for a lifetime.

"What else is going on with Mr. Li? You and Brother Chen are buddies, and I also treat you as buddies, everyone is a brother, what else is there to be embarrassed to say. ”

Li Xiuxian was completely convinced, and said to Wang Zichuan: "This ...... Since Mr. Wang doesn't dislike it, I'll call you Ah Chuan, I'm planning to set up a company, I have thought of the name, it's called Universal Pictures, I have been in the industry for more than ten years, there are no other achievements, that is, there is a wave of brothers following me, there is no shortage of martial arts instructors, photographers, lighting engineers, and assistant directors, as long as the company has money, you can make movies immediately. ”

Wang Zichuan understood a little, and seeing that Li Xiuxian was just talking about the company's situation, he couldn't help but ask, "Then what does Brother Li mean?" ”

Li Xiuxian paused, but he became restrained in front of Wang Zichuan, reached out and touched the back of his head, and whispered: "I want to ask Mr. Wang to join the shares, but I don't have a penny in my hand, and I invest all in the film "Public Servant". ”

Wang Zichuan thought about it carefully, he had never seen the movie "Public Servant", but Li Xiuxian did get ahead with this film, it seems that the box office should be between 10 million and 15 million, so his dividend is 5 million, deducting Chen Xunqi's dividend, at most 3 million remains.

Li Xiuxian said: "I plan to invest 3 million, and Mr. Wang can invest as much as he wants, as long as it is enough for the budget of a film." ”

Wang Zichuan didn't want to take advantage of Li Xiuxian, and replied: "Then I will invest 3 million, according to the rules, accounting for 50% of the shares, if Universal Pictures has no money to film, you can find Tengfei Entertainment to invest, dividends according to the proportion, the theater will directly transfer the funds to the account of Universal Pictures, Tengfei Entertainment is only responsible for auditing the accounts, and will not interfere or withhold funds." ”

Li Xiuxian would rather Wang Zichuan be harsh, he established Universal Pictures with selfish motives, he is the only director in the company, and he does not plan to recruit other directors.

"Ah Chuan, it's better to explain one thing first!"

"What's the matter?" Wang Zichuan looked at Li Xiuxian, and the other party's twisted appearance really subverted his cognition just now.

Li Xiuxian said: "I plan to make a police and gangster film!" ”

Wang Zichuan praised: "This is very good, now that police and gangster movies are slowly becoming popular, I believe that in a while, police and gangster movies will be popular." ”

Li Xiuxian explained: "I plan to make police and gangster films all the time, I am only interested in police and gangster films, no matter what the market is, I will not change my mind." ”

What's going on? Wang Zichuan's eyes widened, there are still such strange people in the world, they have been making police and gangster films, and now the popular ones are kung fu movies, and in two years it will be police and gangster films, and after 1988, gambling movies are popular, and then there is the world of Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical comedy, everyone is too late to follow the trend, how can anyone only love police and gangster movies?

Li Xiuxian explained: "My original intention in establishing Universal Pictures was to make my own films without interference, and if Ah Chuan didn't agree, it would be as if I hadn't said anything just now. ”

After speaking, Li Xiuxian looked at Wang Zichuan with a straight face, saying that he was not joking, he did think so, he respected the profession of the police, but the citizens who had experienced the era of the four detectives did not have a good impression of the police, and he wanted to change the idea of citizens through the movie, the police are the police, and the good people who catch the bad guys.

Wang Zichuan looked at Li Xiuxian carefully, the current Li Xiuxian has just passed the year of establishment, and there is no vicissitudes of later generations on his face, especially there are no wrinkles on his face, his beard is shaved cleanly, and his face is upright.

"No problem!"

Wang Zichuan admires principled people very much, Li Xiuxian is in line with this, although he discounted his expectations for Universal Pictures, but he can still take out three million, so he should support Hong Kong Films...... As soon as a theme appeared, it was immediately filmed, and in the long run, how can everyone make money.

Li Xiuxian said happily: "That's great! I'll go back and prepare, register Universal Pictures first, and when the funds arrive, I will immediately set up the crew. ”

Li Xiuxian left happily, but Wang Zichuan sighed a lot, such a filmmaker is really commendable, if Hong Kong film producers are like Li Xiuxian, Oriental Hollywood will not end so quickly, everyone only sees the immediate benefits, and when they come to consciousness, not only can small companies not be able to support it, but even giants like Golden Harvest Pictures can't survive, and they have declined one after another.

Where is the way out for Ascendas Entertainment? Wang Zichuan subconsciously thought of Hollywood, (to be continued......)
