Chapter 537: Big Guy Sun Ziming (2)
The hustle and bustle in the living room alarmed Sister Mei who was playing mahjong next door, and everyone hurriedly got up and went to the door to see what was going on. Across the gate, a group of actresses listened to a few words, and even Zhang Manyu and them, who signed a ministerial contract with Yongsheng and Debao, felt that Hong Jinbao was quite unreasonable.
Every film that receives light and shadow can be a box office hit, and no matter how bad it is, it can protect the capital, why should you take Jiahe and Debao first? Their videos are like gambling, and if you don't do it well, you will lose all your money. The year before last, Yongsheng filmed "The True Story of A Fei", which won a lot of awards, but it was a mess. and "Cold Face Sniper" filmed by Debao last year, with an investment of more than 30 million, and the box office was less than 8 million. Celebrities, it's important to win awards, but it's even more important to make money!
Seeing that these people reacted so violently, the Xiang brothers had no choice but to look at Sun Ziming with a wry smile, and only this big guy could suppress these guys. After everyone argued for a few minutes, Sun Ziming knocked on the table, and the living room immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at him.
"Don't argue, while everyone is here, say what you want to say, and don't say what you've said and those angry words."
The people of the light and shadow company, although they are usually not big or small, but when it comes to business, Sun Ziming has absolute authority. Now that he opened his mouth, everyone stared at the Xiang brothers and Cheng Long again. Today's light and shadow are not afraid of the community, there is a ruthless person like Sun Ziming, who eats both black and white, and everyone doesn't need to look at anyone's face.
Xiang Huasheng is no better than Hong Jinbao, in the words of Hong Kong people, he is a 'brain eater', which means that he eats with his head.
"Ziming, a table needs at least three legs, if the other three legs are unstable, this table can't support one leg alone."
Sun Ziming nodded, this is right, but on the other hand, the rest of the three legs have to fight for themselves.
"So I asked Yuan Mei and them not to take the initiative to dig the foot of the wall. It's not that I'm talking big, if we really want to dig, there is no one in Taiwan and Hong Kong that we can't dig. ”
Uncle Zeng also chimed in: "Ziming cooperated with you to shoot "Lame Hao", although the creativity is yours, but from the screenwriter, director, to makeup artist, we are all us, but we have not replaced the producer with ours." Ah Sheng, we are generous enough, we must find our own reasons for everything, instead of complaining that the opponent is too strong. ”
The Xiang brothers ignored Uncle Zeng, and only looked at Sun Ziming, Hong Jinbao, the person who provoked trouble, instead tasted wine with Cheng Long. The four major Hong Kong movies, Golden Harvest and Debao are one head, Light and Shadow and Yongsheng are one group, if the two of them have a disagreement, it will be better. If it weren't for Yongsheng in the past two years, except for "Lame Hao" and "The Legend of Lei Luo" in cooperation with light and shadow, the rest of the films would have lost more and won less, and it would have been impossible to provoke the Xiang brothers to come over to negotiate.
After Uncle Zeng finished speaking, Sun Ziming also felt that the Xiang brothers were really a little incompetent, but he couldn't give up on them. Without them blocking other clubs for the film industry, how could artists be like now, filming and making money with peace of mind, I'm afraid the bullet letter would have been delivered to my hand. Of course, light and shadow are not afraid, but the whole circle is chaotic, and it is impossible for him to be alone.
After pondering for a while, Sun Ziming said in a deep voice: "Brother Sheng, your words have some truth, but there is a saying you may have heard, 'The mountains will fall, and everyone will run', and you Yongsheng will rely on your own in the end." The problem of your company is that you two big guys are too impetuous. "Lame Hao" took four years from preparation to filming, what about "Four Families", I heard that from preparation to release, it took two months, right? ”
Brother Xiang sighed, this word reached the sore spot. "Lame Hao" became popular, and they immediately filmed "The Four Detectives", but as a result, they invested 40 million, and the box office was less than 10 million, so they wanted to throw director Lin Delu into the sea.
"Don't sigh, Lin Delu is actually very talented, it's your own problem, if he hadn't made it, the film would still be a bit entertaining, and it is estimated that the box office will not be five million. You guys, calm down, don't worry about how many other people make a year, and let the people in your company write the script well and make a good film with their hearts, which is much better than relying on me to write the script for you. ”
Sun Ziming paused, pointed to Zhou Xingxing and said, "As soon as I got home the day before yesterday, Ah Xing came to give me a script, saying that he and Ah Tzu spent half a year to figure it out, and wanted me to help me read it." I looked at it, and even if it was done according to their ideas, the investment would not exceed three million, and the box office would be at least more than twenty-five million. I helped him change it again, and it is estimated that the box office should be 30 million, not because our level is high, but because the script takes time and patience to scrutinize. My original script, and let Brother Jing help them revise it, but your company doesn't have this rule, I heard that you are on the set, and now there are 'flying notes' (waiting for the script while shooting). ”
The two of them blushed, not only because they were impetuous, but also that the whole of Hong Kong was impetuous.
Xiang Huaqiang blushed a little embarrassed, and after a while, he hesitated: "You mean, we interfere too much with our subordinates?" ”
"Yes, what you lack is the spirit of craftsmanship, and you must work hard to study everything, rather than rushing forward."
Speaking of which, Sun Ziming is also responsible for serving Wang Fatzi, Zhou Xingxing, and Chen Jiashang, who were supposed to work in Yongsheng. Light and shadow are developing too fast, making money is like a money printing machine, can they not be in a hurry to make a red eye?
The light and shadow company competes by strength, Fa Ge is an international double actor and an international star, and has become the de facto fourth giant of the light and shadow company. On this occasion, Liu Weiqiang and the others all shut up, and no one was dissatisfied with him when he spoke.
"Brother Sheng, say something that you may not like to hear. There is also a problem with your company's work style, and if you have nothing to do with the star, you will be careless at work. Ziming is talented enough, right? When we were in the U.S., we slept only six hours a day except for vacations, either filming or writing scripts. Ah Zhi is popular this time, but do you know how she is popular? Practice martial arts with Ajie for a year first, without the hard days of the previous year, without that strength, Ziming will take her to the United States? After going to the United States, 500 meters high without a stand-in without protection, just carry a parachute and jump down directly! If the reaction is two seconds slower, the person will go to the funeral home. ”
These Xiang brothers have also figured it out, but they just want to make them change their way and not play starlet, so that everyone can compete fairly, how easy is it?
Sun Ziming also knew that there were too many dirty things in the circle, and his buttocks were not clean, so after Fa Ge finished speaking, he stopped the topic and said: "That's it, I said before, I want to shoot the Jianghu trilogy." These things, you have connections and materials, and in the third part, I want to shoot Taiwanese associations. If we work together to make this film, it's up to you in the future. ”
The two brothers' eyes immediately lit up, and they hurriedly said, "You shoot, or Wei Qiang?" ”
Sun Ziming robbed other people's "The Story of Ah Lang", "Gunfire", and "Judge of the Dead", and couldn't help but want to return a chance, "Let Du Qifeng be the director, Wei Qiang and Lao Du be the photographer, and I will help you be the producer." Brother Qiang, you have to cultivate your own people, and it won't last long to rely on others. He is the most comprehensive director I have ever met, and he is also patient. ”
Xiang Huaqiang and the others remembered it at once, they listened to him and signed the ploughshare, and now he has become the famous 'Four Heavenly Kings', which has really helped the company make a lot of money, if it weren't for him in the past few years, the company would have lost money a long time ago. But it's a pity that Li Lianjie sent it to the door, but he gave it back to others, otherwise they wouldn't have to worry about the company's lack of money!
"Okay, listen to you, we will also make a good movie patiently in the future."
He poured wine full of wine to the Huaqiang brothers, toasted his grandson Ming, and no longer cared about his temporary ally Hong Jinbao. Eating inside and outside is a taboo in the rivers and lakes, and a big man like them will not commit this one.
