Chapter 118: Wireless wants to shoot immortals?
Li Le is very much looking forward to the benefits that the gambling saint can bring. When the gambling saint becomes popular in Hong Kong, the theater chain in other places must be eager to introduce the gambling saint. Taiwan, Singapore, Japan and other Asian regions, the mainland can also fight for it. By that time, Li Le would still be able to get a bigger share. Because as long as you see the popularity of the gambling saint, even if the score is lower, those theaters still hope to introduce theaters.
"Now in Hong Kong, we give Shaw Brothers a 40% share, and other places must give less. If the mainland can be released, let some of the shares be appropriately given to the mainland! Li Le was also thinking about the popularity of the gambling saint in his heart.
The gambling saint wants to be released in the mainland at this time, and Li Le feels that it is a little difficult, after all, the restrictions are very large. If it can be released in the mainland, even if it is a little less, Li Le is willing. After all, the mainland has a large population base and is a large market. In addition, almost all theaters are now state-owned, and giving profits to theaters is just giving profits to the country.
"With so many places combined, it is not impossible for the gambling saint to bring me 10 times the profit. When the gambling saint is down, let the crew seal the big red envelope. Li Le is not a stingy person, and he has already begun to think about sealing red envelopes for the people in the crew.
Run Shaw and Wang Jing, who stayed in the office, didn't know that Li Le's heart had flown away for a while.
After Run Run Shaw arranged for Fang Yihua to go out to prepare the contract, he also said with a smile: "It seems that Li Le is not only a talent, but also has a strong ability in business. Originally, Run Run Shaw was holding on to 45% of the branches, but under Li Le's series of arguments, Run Run Shaw did not give up his original intention. This is also what Run Run Shaw will do if he doesn't know the popularity of the gambling saint, if he knows the way, he will fight for 1% of the share. Coupled with his interest in Li Le, Run Run Shaw also gave up part of his interests.
For Li Le, Run Run Shaw is wary, but he still wants to befriend Li Le. Run Run Shaw knows very well how great the benefits of a talented man will be. It's like Jin Yong, and wireless has earned a lot because of Jin Yong's martial arts novel film and television copyrights.
In Run Run Shaw's heart, he regarded Li Le as a figure like Jin Yong, and even thought that Li Le would be even more powerful than Jin Yong in the future. Run Run Shaw believed in his own vision, and it was because of this that he was able to navigate the kingdom of wireless for so many years.
"Uncle Sixth laughed, it's just that you don't want to worry about me." Li Le saw Run Shaw holding himself, and hurriedly became humble. Li Le knew that the 5% share was mainly obtained by Run Run Shaw's loose mouth, otherwise Li Le would not be able to say anything.
Shaw shook his head and said, "I admit that I have some reasons, but the main thing is the fact that you said. Shaw Brothers Cinemas has no good movies because Shaw Brothers movies are not good, and a good movie can indeed make Shaw Brothers Cinemas raise its head. I believe that the gambling saint will not disappoint. Run Run Shaw relieved his mouth because Run Run Shaw felt that gambling on the saint had some benefits for Shaw Brothers Cinemas.
For the gambling saint, there are not many people who really see the film now. Run Run Shaw knew that gambling was good, but he hadn't seen it, but Wang Tianlin saw it and told him that it was good to gamble. Shaw believes in the vision of his old partner. Now Wang Tianlin has delegated most of his powers, because of lack of energy. If it weren't for Wang Tianlin's age, Run Run Shaw would be reluctant to give Wang Tianlin's rights to others.
Wang Jing also smiled and said: "Li Le, what the sixth uncle said is good. I've known Uncle Six for so long, and I haven't seen anyone who can compete for Uncle Six! You have to know which businessmen want to compete with the sixth uncle for interests, and every one of them was beaten by the sixth uncle. Wang Jing was also very clever, praised Li Le, and then did not forget to praise Run Run Shaw.
Looking at Run Run Shaw's reaction, he knew that Wang Jing's sycophant made him very happy. The elderly Run Run Shaw was also in a good mood after listening to Wang Jing's praise. After listening to Wang Jing's words, he couldn't help but laugh.
"You clever ghost, Tianlin should be satisfied with a child like you. If only my children had a few points from you, it would be great. One of the things that saddened Run Run Shaw was that none of his children wanted to take over the wireless. In Shaw's heart, he really wanted to hand over the wireless to his descendants. But maybe it's because of Fang Yihua, Run Run Shaw is a little unhappy with his juniors, and at the end of the day, his descendants don't want to pay attention to anything about wireless.
"It's good if my dad doesn't beat me." Wang Jing also laughed.
Wang Tianlin and Wang Jing, the father and son, are also enviable, there is no estrangement or generation gap between father and son, they get along like friends, and they can usually stage even a fight.
Perhaps it was a reminder of his own children, and Run Run Shaw was also a little sad on his face, but he covered it up after a while. He looked at Li Le with blazing eyes and said, "Li Le, there is something I want to ask you, do you have any ideas to make Zhuxian into a TV series?" ”
was asked by Run Run Shaw, Li Leleng paused.
Run Run Shaw continued: "The Zhuxian you wrote is very good, and there are many things to see. It is written about Xianxia, and there is love and hatred, and it must be very popular to make it into a TV series. I learned about it, and I understand that because of the serialization of your Zhuxian, the sales have increased a lot now. ”
Listening to what Run Run Run Shaw said so much, Li Le immediately understood that Run Run Shaw wanted to get the film and television copyright of Zhu Xian. Li Le asked suspiciously: "Sixth Uncle wants to let the wireless shoot the immortals?" ”
For Zhu Xian, Li Le also wanted to make it into TV and movies, but he didn't want to shoot it so quickly. Regarding the current technique, Li Le does not believe that he can shoot the scene of Xianxia.
"Yes, I do." Run Run Shaw said unabashedly.
"I also know that it is very difficult to shoot the Dao Zhuxian, and it is also a big problem in terms of technique. But I believe that we will be able to overcome it. Besides, Zhuxian has not been serialized yet, and it will not be able to be filmed in a short time, so we can also make preliminary preparations first. When the immortals are finished, we can also start shooting. ”
Li Le nodded, he understood in his heart. Now if you want to say who has the ability to shoot Zhuxian, maybe there is only one wireless. Of course, there are also foreign TV stations, and some of their strength is stronger than that of wireless. But for a TV series like Zhuxian, it is impossible for foreigners to shoot the Xianxia flavor in it.
Zhu Xian is sought after by others, Li Le does not doubt this at all, Li Le said in his heart: "Uncle Shao Liu's vision is very long-term. ”
Whether to hand over the copyright of Zhuxian to Wireless for filming, Li Le hesitated. The TV series doesn't need to make the scene so big like the movie, but the scene of the Zhuxian TV series can't be small, because that won't reflect the shocking of Zhuxian.
may see that Li Le is thinking about it in his heart, Run Run Shaw is drinking tea, and he does not urge Li Le. In fact, when I saw Li Le today, in addition to getting to know Li Le and talking about the release of the gambling saint, the most important thing is to get the TV copyright of Zhuxian.
Wireless is now a dominant player in Hong Kong, but it's not absolutely safe. In Shaw's mind, he didn't want his rival to have a chance to turn the tables. In Run Run Shaw's view, the current popularity of Zhuxian is an opportunity for ATV to suppress wireless. Having worked in the television industry for so many years, Run Run Shaw is well aware of how important a good TV series is to a TV station.
Just when Li Le was thinking about the copyright issue of Zhuxian, Fang Yihua also walked into the office with the documents. Fang Yihua has such a privilege in TVB, and he doesn't need to knock on the door to enter and exit Shaw's office.
Coming in with the documents, Fang Yihua also said directly: "You also look at the contract, if there are no other requirements, you can sign the contract." As she spoke, she didn't show Run Run Shaw a look, and directly handed the document to Li Le and Wang Jing. The other party's behavior, Run Run Run Shaw always had a smile on his face, and he did not have any dissatisfied look.
was interrupted by Fang Yihua like this, and Li Le also temporarily let go of the copyright issue of Zhu Xian.
Seeing Li Le and Wang Jing each holding a document, Run Run Shaw also smiled and said: "Li Le, you should also take a good look, there is no hurry to punish the immortals." Fang Yihua glanced at Run Run Shaw, smiled on his face, and didn't say anything.
Li Le nodded and looked at the contract carefully. By Li Le's side, Wang Jing also looked at the various terms of the contract. Soon Wang Jing finished reading the contract, and when he saw Li Le, he also finished reading it. He handed the one in his hand to Li Le, and nodded at the same time.
There are no traps in the contract of the cinema chain, and the above share is also negotiated by Li Le and Run Run Shaw. And the contract is also determined that when the gambling saint is released, Shaw Brothers Cinemas will fully support the release of the gambling saint.
Holding the two contracts in his hand, Li Le said with a smile: "There is no problem with the contract. ”
Run Run Shaw nodded and said, "It's okay if there is no problem, sign it, and let the gambling saint be released in theaters when the time is determined." ”
Li Le nodded, borrowed a pen and signed his name. The gambling saint was invested by Li Le, and he participated in the director, and Wang Jing naturally handed over the signing of the contract to Li Le. Li Le also thinks that it is better for him to sign a contract with Shaw Brothers Cinemas or to do it himself.
Seeing that Li Le had signed, Fang Yihua put away one of the contracts and said to Li Le with a smile: "Li Le, happy cooperation." ”
Li Le also said happily: "Happy cooperation. Li Le did not take the contract with him, but handed it over to Wang Jing. The signature was signed by Li Le, but Wang Jing still did the matter of the release of the gambling saint. It is impossible for Li Le to communicate with the theater chain himself, and Wang Jing is much more suitable than him.
Wang Jing naturally took the contract in his hand, and he said with a smile: "Okay, with this, the gambling saint can be released." "Perhaps the happiest thing for a director is when he sees this movie released and is praised by the audience!
Listening to Wang Jing's words, Li Le couldn't help laughing. Even Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua also showed a faint smile. Under normal circumstances, Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua still regard Wang Jing as their juniors. Wang Jing's unrestrained performance also made them feel a rare ease.
