Xu Guanwu's idea of retiring had just come to an eye, and then something happened that immediately knocked him down.

During the period when he left Hong Kong, Golden Harvest Company secretly got in touch with Zeng Zhiwei, and then spent a lot of money to dig him up.

When the news reached Xu Guanwu in the United States, he was taken aback, and he almost suspected that he had heard poorly. But it turned out that he didn't listen, and Zeng Zhiwei did defect to Golden Harvest.

Xu Guanwu was very puzzled by this, he asked himself if he treated these people badly, it was a dividend and a high salary, and he could get one or two million every year, why would anyone betray him? !

But he forgot the truth that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and no one will know how to be satisfied. If you earn a thousand, you want to make 10,000, if you earn 10,000, you want to make 100,000, and if you earn 100,000, you want to make million......

The salary given by Xu Guanwu was indeed high enough, but when Jiahe offered higher conditions, he still poached people very smoothly.

Golden Harvest's condition for Zeng Zhiwei is that he will invest in the formation of a company for him, and I will provide all the personnel, funds, and theaters, and I will be responsible for the film, and I will be responsible for the release, and the box office share is high enough. This is equivalent to being your own boss and working for yourself.

Zeng Zhiwei thought that he was flexible, and made several blockbuster films in Hui's Family, with a total box office of 10 million Hong Kong dollars. As for the box office in other cities, it is even higher, and the copies in Nanyang, Taiwan, South Korea and other places have sold a lot, and the box office in North America is even higher.

The global box office totaled more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars, but he only received less than 1 million, which naturally made Zeng Zhiwei a little unwilling. So when Golden Harvest proposed to invest in making him his own boss, Zeng Zhiwei left Xu's quickly. defected to the banner of Golden Harvest.

Tsang did not sign a work contract with Hui. He was previously brought by Hong Jingbao. As a member of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Artists, there was neither the need nor the qualification to sign a contract at that time. Later, although it was rapidly improved, the contract problem was never resolved.

Xu Guanwu didn't know that he hadn't signed a contract, and no one else had reminded him that Zeng Zhiwei was still promoted with money, but he was not bound by the terms of the contract, so he was happy to pretend to be stupid. So it happened that after he changed jobs, he found out that he had not signed a contract for several years.

Zeng Zhiwei jumped from Xu's high-profile job to Golden Harvest. For a while, there was a lot of uproar in Hong Kong.

Hui's has developed extremely rapidly in recent years, and the company's profit has increased by more than 30% every year, which is very rare in the Hong Kong film industry. Moreover, it beats the predecessors Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, ranking first among the three major film companies in Hong Kong, and is well-deserved as the first overlord of Oriental Hollywood.

But it is such a high-level overlord in the film industry, but now he has made a high-profile jump to the old rival Golden Harvest, which is simply a big slap in the face of the whole Hong Kong public. not only made all outsiders see the joke, but also made Xu's face lose face for a while.

……

The Xu brothers, who are the company's top executives, expressed a rather low profile about this. I just said that I cherish the time I spent working together at the beginning, and I wish Zeng Zhiwei a smooth work in Golden Harvest!

As a big man, he naturally has to maintain a good face. But these little brothers under him naturally had no scruples, and immediately jumped out, aiming at Zeng Zhiwei and Jiahe is a pair of fierce bombardments.

The first to jump out were the dragon and tiger martial artists under Hong Fatzi, as well as the second- and third-tier artists of the company, who scolded Zeng Zhiwei for having no conscience and eating noodles at the bottom of the bowl. He also criticized Jiahe for digging people in the corners, which is a very despicable act. And said that he firmly believes that he will never be dug up by Golden Harvest.

In the face of the accusations of Xu's lower-level employees, the martial artists and artists under Golden Harvest also jumped out to fight back, saying that people go to high places and water flows to low places, and the Xu brothers live in villas and drive sports cars, but their subordinates can't even afford to buy a house, and they are simply mean profiteers. How can Zou Tycoon be so arrogant, willing to pay for others to open a company, work for himself, and no longer be angry with others.

As for scolding Jiahe for digging the foot of the wall, it is even more ridiculous. You Xu can have so many talents, and they are all dug up from the corners. In terms of despicability, you guess better. The so-called good birds choose trees to perch, and Xu's treat people harshly, and naturally no one wants to stay there.

……

The two sides came and went, and at first it was just a small fish and shrimp jumping out and scolding, taking the opportunity to show off the photos. However, the indiscriminate bombardment of mouth artillery also caused many people to lie down and get shot, and as a result, heavyweights were blown up. The first to jump out was kung fu star Chen Guantai, who was actually passively responding to the battle after lying down.

When Golden Harvest's employees betrayed the proprietor for example, they also piggybacked on Chen Guantai, who had jumped from Shaw Brothers to Xu's. Chen Guantai said in an interview after lying down that his contract with Shaw Brothers had expired, and Shaw Brothers was full of talents at that time, and he had no intention of renewing his contract. It happened that Xu's thirst for talent handed over an olive branch, so he left Shaw Brothers to join Xu's.

Chen Guantai also said one more sentence, "All this is carried out above board, unlike someone who wants to leave and walks secretly." ”

As a result, this sentence hit Zeng Zhiwei's sore foot, so that he couldn't help jumping out, claiming that he had contributed a lot to Xu's, but he received very little. I felt unfair before I chose to change jobs, but Golden Harvest favored me and paid for myself to open a company, which is really the best company in the world.

Hearing Zeng Zhiwei's statement, Leung Shuyi also jumped out and listed data to prove that Zeng Zhiwei had earned more than 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars in Hui's three years, which is considered a high-income group among all Hong Kong filmmakers. And he still had two movies that were not successful, but the company still didn't care and still gave him dividends. So Zeng Zhiwei is lying.

Zeng Zhiwei retorted that the company made more money, and the box office profit he created exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars. And his income is only more than one million, and the cliff is very small. Later, the decision-making of the Xu's seven-member group was shaken out by some fierce news, implying that Xu's seemingly generous was actually picky, and he only shared some soup and water for everyone after getting a lot, and also decorated himself as the most humane company in Hong Kong.

For Zeng Zhiwei leaking the company's trade secrets, the Xu brothers were naturally disgusted. The seven-person group meeting is the highest decision-making level of the company and is in charge of all the company's affairs. It can be said to be Xu's biggest trade secret. Now Zeng Zhiwei has exposed some insider information. It is equivalent to letting the outside world know about the high-level operation of the Xu family. This is a very dangerous thing to do. If you don't stop him immediately, if something breaks out again, then the Xu family is really in danger.

Before the Xu brothers spoke, the eldest brother Hong Jingbao jumped out first, shouting at Zeng Zhiwei to leave a line for doing things, otherwise the brothers would have nothing to do.

As soon as the eldest brother spoke, it was really good, Zeng Zhiwei knew the strength of Hong Jingbao, and there were so many martial arts brothers who followed him to make a fortune. In the martial arts world in Hong Kong, it can be regarded as the top spot, better than the old-timers Liu Jialiang, Tang Jia and others. If Zeng Zhiwei still wants to recruit dragon and tiger martial artists to film in the future, then Hong Jingbao must not be offended.

So he shut his mouth and stopped responding to all the rumors from the outside world. After a period of verbal war, no new information was exposed, and gradually no media followed up.

It's just that to everyone's surprise, despite the chaos in Hong Kong, as one of the helmsmen of the Hui family, Xu Guanwu, a Hong Kong media tycoon, has never shown up.

……

Xu Guanwu was when he received the news. The shock is indeed. Even Zhao Yazhi was ready to pack her luggage and go back to Hong Kong with Xu Guanwu to deal with affairs. But he was stopped by Xu Guanwu waving his hand.

He doesn't plan to go back to Hong Kong now to work as a firefighter. If there is something, the big boss will have to come out. Not only does it reflect the incompetence of his subordinates, but it also makes him a boss who is exhausted.

It sounds big, but it doesn't really matter. The Xu family is full of talents, there are not many Zeng Zhiwei, and there are many less Zeng Zhiwei, and the seven-person group meeting he founded was originally set up for the purpose of decentralization.

Each of the seven people has one vote, and as long as they have a majority, they cannot pass the project, so as to avoid the situation of one power monopoly, and can also reduce the power of the individual to a minimum. What's more, Zeng Zhiwei's success also depends on the company's system, regardless of funds, personnel, props, etc., so that the director can save a lot of time and energy.

As a second film company, first of all, the system is different, and cooperation is bound to shrink. And this set is Xu Guanwu learned from Hollywood's advanced experience, if Golden Harvest wants to imitate Xu's system, the first thing is to make a big transfer to the company's structure, which will inevitably affect the power of some of the elders, and the resistance it suffers is naturally very strong.

Moreover, Golden Harvest does not have as many talent reserves as Xu's, and because the salaries given by Xu's are relatively high, Zeng Zhiwei left alone, and he couldn't even poach an artist. This also depends on the superstar manager company founded by Xu Guanwu, all the artists are managed by the core layer, and the cost of digging only a single star is quite high, and the liquidated damages alone are enough to drink a pot. And digging brokers can't guarantee anything, Xu's brokers are only responsible for general affairs, and the core affairs are taken care of by the company. Even if one or two brokers are poached, it will not have much impact on the company as a whole.

Without so many film talents from Xu's family, relying only on these artists under Golden Harvest now, Zeng Zhiwei has limited room to play. It's like Zhou Liang Shuyi jumped to Jiashi with the Seven Gentlemen in the 70s, and it was not because it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, so she could only leave from Jiashi in the last place; When Pan Disheng founded Debao, if Hong Jingbao didn't help him set up the stall, he would also end up in a situation where no one was available.

Golden Harvest is now the only popular student Liu Yong, and Xu's side has both popular stars such as Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, Yuan Biao, etc., as well as TVB TV stars, which can be said to be full of talents, much stronger than Golden Harvest.

Furthermore, when it comes to talent, Xu Guanwu feels that although Zeng Zhiwei is in a hurry, he has wonderful sentences but no good chapters. Without the structure of Xu's powerful screenwriters, his movies are limited even if they are good-looking. Just like the "Li Sanjiao Shock Hell Gate" that he strongly advocated filming, he lost a lot of money. In the early 80s, there was no shortage of funny plots in dramas such as "The Owl" and "Little Policeman", but the box office was sad.

Therefore, Xu Guanwu concluded that Zeng Zhiwei would not stay very happily in Jiahe. Golden Harvest values his earning ability, but Zeng Zhiwei's earning ability depends more on the assistance of other members of the Xu family. Now without the help of these brothers, it is difficult to say how long he can toss.

And Zeng Zhiwei was born with a backbone, and he couldn't stay in any company for long. When he first entered the film industry before, Zeng Zhiwei followed Liu Jialiang's master, then Hong Jingbao, and then Xinyicheng. I got tired of staying in Xinyicheng and returned to Hong Jingbao, but after following for a while, I jumped out and opened a company by myself. But Huang Yulang, who had planned to invest in him, went bankrupt, and he could only use the funds of Taiwanese film companies to shoot, which led to the hot money of Taiwanese film companies entering Hong Kong in a big way, and the Hong Kong film industry was turbulent.

The last one responded to that sentence, and when the tide receded, I saw who was swimming naked. Sure enough, as soon as the hot money of Taiwanese film companies retreated, the Hong Kong film industry was full of wails, and most of them were just fishing in troubled waters. (To be continued......)
