Shi Nansheng returned to Siyuan Film Company with Xu Guanwu's reply, and as soon as he entered the door, he was dragged into the office by Wu Siyuan and Xu Ke.

"How?" Wu Siyuan asked Shi Nansheng with red eyes. Xu Ke on the side also looked at her nervously.

"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life." Shi Nansheng smiled and told the two of them the conditions Xu Guanwu had offered.

After Wu Siyuan and Xu Xu listened, they glanced at each other, and they both saw surprised expressions in each other's eyes.

To be honest, the conditions given by Xu Guanwu are not unfavorable.

Eight million Hong Kong dollars, a huge sum of money in the late 70s. Wu Siyuan has been filming for several years, but there is only this company worth tens of millions.

Xu Ke is also very interested in Xu Guanwu's A-level director qualifications, and he also knows that Lu Dao is already considered the top A-level director in Xu's family. Xu Guanwen, Zhang Jian, Mai Jia, Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long, etc. are all at this level, and they can do whatever they want when making movies, and the funds are much higher than those of other directors.

Of course, if there is a fiasco at the box office after the release, then the qualification of an A-level director may be in danger of being cancelled.

Xu Ke has always been worried that after he votes for Xu's, he will be bound by a seven-member team and the production system. Now it seems that if he becomes an A-level director, he can avoid these constraints, which makes Xu Ke feel very satisfied.

"Mr. Wu, what do you think of this condition, if you can, I want to reply to Xu's side as soon as possible." Shi Nansheng asked.

"The conditions given by Hui's are really good, but I wonder if we can still have a sum of money from Hui's like our cooperation with Golden Harvest, or just use my 8 million Hong Kong dollars. A new film company was formed. And then work with Hui? Wu Siyuan said with a deep sigh.

The position of Hui's production manager is certainly very high. is also very powerful, but in the end, he still works for others, which is really not easy for Wu Siyuan, who is used to being the boss.

"This ...... I'll go back and talk to Xu's side. Shi Nansheng thought for a while and said, "Mr. Wu, do you insist that you must start your own company?" Is this already your bottom line? ”

"Sort of." Wu Siyuan thought about it and replied not very surely, "Miss Shi." You also know the difference between being your own boss and working for others. ”

"Mr. Wu, I'll help you talk to them again, but if they don't agree, then you'll need to find another way." Shi Nansheng thought for a while and said.

"I don't think Mr. Wu's proposal is excessive, why are you worried about Xu's opposition?" Xu Ke couldn't help but ask suspiciously when he heard her say this.

Shi Nansheng and Wu Siyuan glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook their heads, "What if the Xu family is also like Jiahe, and they also like dictatorship so much?" ”

"No, didn't you say that Xu's treated employees very well?" Xu Ke couldn't help but ask strangely when he heard this.

"Just because you treat your employees well doesn't mean you're not dictatorial." Shi Nansheng smiled. "Do you see that the actors of Xu's Pictures are independent and start a film company by themselves?"

"Not really, but the independent studios he worked with. I didn't see which one he wanted to buy? Xu Ke shook his head and said.

"He really didn't want to invest in buying any of them, because those film companies were so bad that they couldn't get into his eyes." Wu Siyuan smiled and said, "Actually, Hong Jingbao, Mai Jia and others have enough strength to open a company, but Xu's has never let him go, so I know that Xu's idea is the same as that of Jiahe." Give me money, I'll share your money, everything is easy to say. If you want to be my boss on an equal footing, don't talk about it. ”

"Speaking of which, it's not good to go to Xu's." Xu Ke frowned and said, "Isn't that why you got out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den again?" ”

"This is the sadness of the Hong Kong film industry, without the support of the cinema chain, the last resort can only take refuge in the big film companies." Wu Siyuan sighed and said.

"Alas, it would be nice if there was one more cinema chain in Hong Kong." Xu Ke couldn't help but say.

"It costs a lot of money to build a cinema, and I don't dare to say more, at least the annual rent is 30 or 40 million, where can the average film company afford it?" Wu Siyuan couldn't help but sigh and said, "Now that the entire theater chain in Hong Kong is in the hands of the three major film companies, it is impossible not to bow your head." ”

"In that case, Mr. Wu, what are you going to do?" Xu Ke listened to Wu Siyuan's words, and couldn't help but feel depressed, and asked with a frown.

"Let's take one step at a time, maybe the Xu family will agree to my conditions." Wu Siyuan thought for a while and said.

"Mr. Wu, I think it's better to be prepared for two things." Shi Nansheng suddenly smiled and said, "We might as well release the news that we are going to defect to the Xu clan first, so that Jiahe understands that we are not fish on the chopping board, they can cut it however they want." If Golden Harvest seems to keep us, it will inevitably suspend the offensive to force us. And if Jiahe's side shows that it wants to keep it, then Xu's side will naturally be more attentive, and we can just leave and right. ”

"It's a bit out of the morals of the rivers and lakes to do this." Wu Siyuan pondered for a while and said, "Let's look at Xu's reply first, if not, we will decide how to act." ”

"Okay then." Shi Nansheng heard Wu Siyuan say this, so he had no choice but to nod and say.

……

Liang Shuyi's worries were indeed not wrong, and the next day, Shi Nansheng brought back Wu Siyuan's reply.

Hearing that he insisted on opening his own company, Xu Guanwu didn't think about it and directly refused.

Start a satellite subsidiary, and Xu's will fall apart immediately. Because he is not as ruthless as Jiahe, the dividends promised by Jiahe can be withheld and not given, but it is impossible for Xu Guanwu not to give them.

Hong Jingbao founded Baohe with the support of Golden Harvest and made a series of blockbuster films, and he did not fall behind in the slightest to compete with the new art city. But Mai Jia and Ishida in Xinyicheng have already made a fortune, but Hong Jingbao is still very poor in the 90s, and he has no money to praise his son as a star, and the son of the big brother in the Hong Kong film industry wants to be a third-tier actor in TVB.

In an interview afterwards, Hong Jingbao admitted that although he made countless blockbuster films, the remuneration he received was quite meager. The box office dividends promised by Golden Harvest before were not distributed to him. The only time I made money was "Best Lucky Star" with Zeng Zhiwei.

In fact, all the satellite companies that cooperate with Golden Harvest. In the end, it basically ended in a trouble. Xu Guanwen helped Golden Harvest hold up half the sky in the 70s. Although the limelight was stolen by Cheng Long, Zhou Yunfa and others in the 80s, the box office is still very secure. Xu's Film Company also launched many blockbuster movies, such as "Chicken and Duck", "Detective Chocolate", "Family Carnival" and so on, but later because they couldn't receive dividends, they also fell out with Golden Harvest later. His wife, Ms. Chen Jieying, also went to Golden Harvest Company to check the accounts, and everyone was unhappy after the worst incident.

Wang Jing's published memoirs also mentioned that in the 90s, he made a lot of blockbuster movies under Golden Harvest. But when he was about to leave Golden Harvest in the end, not only did he not get a dime in dividends, but after accounting, he owed Golden Harvest nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Not to mention the loss of all Wang Jing's film copyrights, he lost some money out of his own pocket.

Wang Jing was bullied, unlike Xu Guanwen and Hong Jingbao, who swallowed their anger, they thought that after all, the guest and the host had a good meeting and dispersed, and it didn't matter if they spoke badly again, but Wang Jing's little fat man was a person who had revenge and would take revenge. He knew that the Government wanted to repossess Golden Harvest's studio on Ax Hill Road and would grant him a piece of land in Tseung Kwan O as compensation.

Of course, the government's land grant cannot be directly named to Golden Harvest, and other film companies are also allowed to bid together. However, the standards set by that piece of land are obviously set according to Golden Harvest's standards, and other film companies do not meet the requirements.

Wang Jing firmly believes that revenge is not revenge, and it is not a gentleman. Since a film company could not meet the government's requirements, he joined forces with a number of film companies to bid together, and as a result, he grabbed the land in Tseung Kwan O from Golden Harvest. Golden Harvest lost the set of Axe Hill Road and lost the land in Tseung Kwan O. For a film company, it has actually lost the base it relies on to survive, and Golden Harvest has been in a state of collapse since then, and finally regrettably quit the Hong Kong film industry.

After many years, this matter was kicked out by Wang Jing himself, and it stands to reason that it shouldn't be nonsense. It can be seen that Golden Harvest's satellite company system is actually just a disguise. It's just that Golden Harvest was growing in Hong Kong at that time, and it could be called the largest film company in Hong Kong, and it cooperated with the American New Line Film Company, which was much stronger than New Art City, Yongsheng, Debao, Oriental and so on.

The media also likes to follow the red top white, and naturally no one reports the mistakes of Golden Harvest. In addition, the filmmakers at that time also fought it, but they still wanted to calm things down, so this ugly thing of Golden Harvest was unknown.

Later, the mainland media reported on Golden Harvest, but they only remembered that he had a glorious past, but he did not report this scandal, which made mainland fans think how good Golden Harvest should be, not only making money himself, but also making a lot of money hand in hand. In fact, if Golden Harvest really gave money to its satellite companies, with Hong Jingbao's film output in the 80s, the ability of one person to support two film companies, would it be possible for his son to make a movie when he debuted in the 90s?

If Xu Guanwu wants to engage in a satellite company system, he will naturally not be as ruthless as Jiahe, and he will inevitably give money according to the dividends agreed in advance. But in this way, it is easy to let these people fatten.

As the old saying goes, raising evil people is like raising eagles, hunger is attached, and full is raised, just imagine when all its employees become multimillionaires, who else is willing to film honestly? People are selfish, and if they have the ability to go out independently, no one will not want to. At that time, this person who has made a lot of money will leave the Xu family, and let the Xu family fall to the point where no one is available.

Xinyicheng was a satellite company owned by Princess Jin back then, but Mai Jia and Ishida, who made a fortune and made money, quit the film industry early. On the contrary, Huang Baiming, who has never made money, is still insisting.

Xu Guanwu knows that Lu Dao is actually a controlling person himself, and likes to limit things to the scope of his control, which is actually the same as Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang and others. It's just that his eating looks slightly better, and it's not so easy to be picked out as a mistake. But if someone misunderstands because of this, thinking that Xu Guanwu is really kind and simple, harmless to humans and animals, then they can only blame their blindness.

Shi Nansheng knew that Xu Guanwu was not a generous and good man who did not care about returns. It can be seen from his investment over the years that every investment is making a lot of money. If he is really a good old man who is generous and does not care about returns, how can he have such luck?

So Shi Nansheng was not surprised at all by Xu Guanwu's rejection of Wu Siyuan's proposal, on the contrary, she understood Xu Guanwu's approach very well. Originally, Hui's was already the largest media group in Hong Kong, with an annual profit of at least more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars, so he didn't care about the profits of Siyuan Film Company. For Xu Guanwu, Siyuan Film Company is actually like a rabbit on Chinese New Year's Eve, with more meat and less meat.

Therefore, the conditions he gave yesterday should be the last conditions, and there may be some subtleties to talk about, but there is absolutely no possibility of talking about key issues again.

"Mr. Xu, I will tell Mr. Wu your reply." Shi Nansheng nodded and said, "Although I also know that the chances of the Dao may not be high, I still want to ask Mr. Xu to think about it more." After all, Mr. Wu is also very sincere. (To be continued......)
