Knowing that Mr. Huang Zhuohan was in Taipei at the moment, Xu Guanwu did not rush to the meeting immediately.

He had only heard of Huang Zhuohan, but he didn't know anything about him. If you go rashly, if you can't negotiate business, you will hurt each other.

"Big brother, I've already watched "Where the Seagull Flies", and the shooting is indeed very good, and it should be a blockbuster to bring back. However, the film was distributed by First Pictures. Are you familiar with their boss? Can you get someone to get in touch with you? Xu Guanwu called back to Hong Kong for help.

Hearing the news from the second brother, Xu Guanwen also frowned a little.

He had also heard the name of the First Film Agency, but he had not dealt with it.

Because Xu Guanwen has only been in the film industry for three or two years, and he has always served Shaw Brothers. There is no dealings with independent production companies such as First Pictures.

"Second brother, don't move blindly first, wait for me to inquire clearly." After Xu Guanwen put down the phone, he immediately tried to contact First Pictures.

Fortunately, the Hong Kong film industry itself is not very big, and people trust favors, and with their network, they really let Xu Guanwen contact Mr. Huang Zhuohan.

……

Huang Zhuohan was releasing this "Seagull Flying" in Taiwan, and he was also surprised after receiving a call from Xu Guanwen.

For the Xu brothers who have just emerged, Huang Zhuohan is also very curious.

To build his own cinema chain in Hong Kong and become a big film company that can be on an equal footing with Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest is something that Wong Cheuk-han has always dreamed of.

Although he is qualified according to his strength, he also has the qualifications to do it. But for various reasons, he never took this step.

But it took these four brothers less than a year to do what he had never done in his life.

When he heard Xu Guanwen mention that he wanted "Where the Seagull Flies" to be released in the theaters of the Xu brothers, Huang Zhuohan did not immediately agree.

Because he and Sir Shaw Yifu have been friends for nearly 20 years, they have had a long and close cooperation with each other.

In the past, all the films shot by First Pictures were released in Shaw Brothers Theaters. And Shao Yifu's conditions are also quite generous, and he has no reason to turn his back on his old friend and choose Xu's Brothers.

Xu Guanwen saw Huang Zhuohan hesitating, and his heart suddenly cooled.

He knew that with the current background of the Xu brothers, it was difficult to compare with the Shaw family. Therefore, it is definitely a wise move for First Pictures to choose Shaw Brothers instead of Xu's Brothers.

But thinking that there would be no film released after the renovation of the theater, and he would lose tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars every day, Xu Guanwen had no choice but to bite the bill and continue to send invitations to Huang Zhuohan.

The conditions are naturally the best, not only does not charge the base fee, but the box office share in the first week can also be four or six points.

In the past, when it was released in other theaters, the box office in the first week was generally divided into five or five points for A-grade films, six or four points for B-grade films, and seven or three for C-grade films.

Xu Guanwen gave up a profit of 10% with one mouth. Don't underestimate this profit, if the film is a big hit, this profit will be hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

You must know that in the 70s, it cost hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars to make a movie. Hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars per month in those years, almost equivalent to tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars now.

Huang Zhuohan listened to Xu Guanwen's conditions, and couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.

However, he heard that Xu Guanwu had arrived in Taiwan, and he was still interested in meeting him.

……

It was under such circumstances that Xu Guanwu met Huang Zhuohan, a prodigy in the film industry.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Huang Zhuohan is a genius in the film industry, because he has the reputation of "decathlon", and he is proficient in production, distribution, directing, editing, photography, and publicity.

"Hello Mr. Huang!" Xu Guanwu lowered his posture very low, because in front of him was a senior-level figure. When people started their businesses, Xu Guanwu still wore open crotch pants.

Huang Zhuohan himself is very handsome, although he is now in his fifties, he is still extraordinary. In today's terms, he is regarded as a very attractive uncle.

"I'll charge up my senior, and call you a little permission?" Huang Hanzhuo said with a smile.

"Of course, you're an old-timer." Xu Guanwu also smiled.

Huang Zhuohan was very happy, "Although I debuted a little early, now it is the back waves of the Yangtze River that push the front waves, and I will be surpassed by you young people if I am not careful." ”

"Where, where, we are new to the city, and we ask our seniors to help us more." Xu Guanwu hurriedly waved his hand.

"The company has been open for less than a year, and a theater line has been set up, and your work is very large." Huang Zhuohan said, "It's a pity that as an old-timer, I want to send you a word, which can be regarded as a reminder." You're moving too fast, you're stepping too far, and you're going to fall if you're not careful. ”

Xu Guanwu sat down and nodded seriously, "What my predecessor warned me was that I was indeed not thoughtful before doing this. ”

"You're young people after all, you're full of energy, but sometimes you have to look up at the road." Huang Zhuohan smiled, "By the way, I heard that you are going to introduce my "Seagull Flying", right?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Huang, our theater chain has just been established, and we really need a good film like "Where the Seagull Flies" to be released." Xu Guanwu said sincerely.

"Your eldest brother has also told me the conditions, to be honest, there are more conditions than the Shaw Brothers." Huang Zhuohan nodded and said, "But I have worked with Shaw Brothers for many years and have a deep friendship with each other, so I am very difficult now." ”

"Mr. Huang, we are very sincere in inviting you." Xu Guanwu thought for a while and said, "Although you and Shaw Brothers have been partners for many years, I think you and I can also cultivate a tacit understanding. You should give yourself another choice, don't you? ”

Huang Zhuohan pondered for a long time, as if he was considering the gains and losses.

"Mr. Huang, in addition to this film, your company's next three films, regardless of quality, will enjoy the best and thickest share treatment." Xu Guanwu finally made a heavy bet.

This is not that he made his own assertion again, this condition is the result of his discussion with his eldest brother Xu Guanwen.

Huang Zhuohan was moved, "Is this true?" ”

"Yes, it's true." Xu Guanwu nodded solemnly.

"Since this is the case, then I will release the movie "Where the Seagull Flies" in the theaters of the Xu Brothers." Wong Cheuk-han finally made up his mind.

Because if all four films enjoy the best sharing treatment, then First Pictures will earn an additional million Hong Kong dollars.

- This was already quite a lot of money at that time.

Even if his old friend Shao Yifu knows, it is difficult to accuse Huang Zhuohan.

Xu Guanwu successfully grabbed the distribution rights of the movie "Where the Seagull Flies", although he paid a lot of money, but it was also worth the money.

Especially with Huang Zhuohan, a big boss who spans Hong Kong and Taiwan, he has established a relationship, and this visit to Taipei is really worth the trip.

Xu Guanwu was satisfied and planned to take a plane back to Hong Kong overnight, but before leaving, he received a call from Wu Dun.

But it turned out that Ms. Qiong Yao wanted to see herself.
