Chapter 353, Wang Jing's difficulties

Although "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants" is Wang Jing's test of the waters, the film has a good box office!

When the movie was released in 1981, it was one of the few money-making films of the Shaw Brothers at that time, and the Hong Kong box office alone was 5,081,870 Hong Kong dollars, ranking ninth in the Hong Kong box office that year.

Of course, Wang Jing is so proficient in gambling movies, and he likes money so much, and even thinks that he wants to make movies to make money outside, which is also related to his current predicament.

Although Wang Jing works as a screenwriter at TVB, his father is a leading director under Shao Daheng, and his monthly income is already considered to be in the middle and upper class in Hong Kong.

Because the income of tens of thousands of yuan per month is definitely enough for ordinary families. But it's a pity that Wang Jing has a mother who gambles excessively, and always takes the family's living expenses to gamble, and after losing the bet, he borrows money from loan sharks.

It is said that when Wang Jing was young, his mother once lost all the family property due to gambling, and when Wang Jing was about to get married, his mother lost the family's money again. The victim's family was blocked by people to ask for accounts for three days, and the noise made the family restless and the neighbors were uneasy.

The reason why Wang Jing chose to gamble on his first movie is naturally inseparable from his mother's edification.

However, although Wang Jing has filmed a lot of gambling films, he is also a gambling master in the movie, and often kills all sides, but Wang Jing himself hates gambling and betting.

The so-called eating is a real skill, wearing is majestic, gambling is a hedge, and piao is an empty game.

There is a gambling mother at home, who will be chased by loan sharks and debts anytime and anywhere, so Wang Jing has been sensitive to money since he was a child, so he swore that he wanted to make money and make a lot of money, so he has always liked to make commercial films, and he never gets tired of it.

looked at Wang Jing with a pitiful look, for fear that he would be dissatisfied with the appearance of rejecting the script, which was a bit like a big commercial director in the future.

Lei Weidong couldn't help but smile and said: "The script is very good, I invested, but what are your requirements for the director's salary, fat man, how much does it cost to invest in this movie."

Speaking of which, Lei Weidong actually wanted to help Wang Jingyi, because in his previous life, Lei Weidong seemed to have heard that in 79, Wang Jing's family suffered another blow.

His best mother has lost her home again. You must know that Wang Jing has four younger sisters below, his wife has just given birth to a daughter, and she still owes a bunch of gambling debts outside, so that her daughter has no money to buy milk powder.

As a result, he and his father had to be busy making money to support their family and pay off their debts.

As the saying goes, the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, and it is better to pull Wang Jing at this time than to be close to him when he is developed.

"What could I ask for! Lei Shao, I haven't thanked you for giving me such a good opportunity! You can look at the reward! As for the investment, it doesn't need much, 1 million is enough. Although Wang Jing looks obscene, his emotional intelligence is not low, and he directly lifted the ball to Lei Weidong.

High EQ is different, looking at Wang Jing's statement, it is actually the most difficult to do.

For example, when Lei Weidong and a few classmates drank mutton soup at the school gate in his previous life, the old man came to polish the shoes, and after polishing them, he asked how much it was, and the old man said, "You can give it as you like", and Lei Weidong paid 5 yuan for a pair of leather shoes - the market price at that time was only 1 yuan!

It's this kind of business that doesn't ask for the price and makes you take the initiative to say the price is the most difficult to do, and you will be embarrassed to give less, so you can only give more than expected.

If Wang Jing proposes how much his own piece is, after Lei Weidong gives it, he will casually add that Wang Jingjing wants to remember Lei Weidong's favor.

And now Wang Fatzi said that it would be troublesome to give Lei Weidong casually, Lei Weidong gave less Wang Jing on the surface, and there must be resentment in his heart, if he gives more, he earns a lot less, and he can't get any benefits, because this can be said to be the salary for Wang Jing to make a movie, and he can't remember the favor at all.

Think about it, just a simple sentence, the final effect may be 108,000 miles away.

However, Lei Weidong looks young, but he is almost forty years old in his heart, and even if he has not experienced such a thing, he has read a lot of books and knows the solution.

"Give it casually, fat man, in the movie industry, I know six out of seven, and I don't know the market at all! Either you put forward the requirements, or just hand it over to Zhang Aijia directly, she has been in this line for a long time, and she will not let you suffer. Lei Weidong gently kicked the ball back.

Looking for Zhang Aijia, I was crazy to find her! Wang Jing muttered in his heart, if you want to know whether you want to be famous or not, if you want to be experienced or inexperienced, it would be good if the woman who likes to make literary films can give herself a salary of 10,000 yuan as a director. is still a rich man like Lei Weidong and generous, such a Kaizi does not slaughter white.

"Lei Shao, I'm not hypocritical if you say that! You can just give me 50,000 yuan for the director's salary! Wang Jing estimated in his heart and said what he thought was an astronomical amount, knowing that he was now a screenwriter, and he couldn't earn 10,000 yuan a month, and making a movie was equivalent to his hard work for several months.

"Fifty thousand! Wang Jing really thinks that he is wronged! Lei Weidong smiled in his heart.

At this time, the salaries of actors and directors are very low, for example, the second-tier directors of Shaw Brothers Company are all filming machines, and they are busy all year round, and they can get 20,000 or 30,000 yuan in the last month.

Those stars are too, Cheng Long's salary was terrible low before he became famous, a movie is only 3,000 Hong Kong dollars, and only those famous directors and actors are paid higher.

In fact, the entertainment industry is like this, everyone only sees those stars who are at the peak, and the salaries of those supporting roles and actors are actually just to meet the needs of food and clothing, even those second- and third-tier actors do not look so beautiful.

In the 21st century, many starlets can only rent a snail house in a big city like Magic City, and some can even only live in the basement to eat instant noodles.

However, from another aspect, Wang Jing's salary of 50,000 yuan is not high.

You must know that in the previous life, the box office of "A Thousand Kings and a Thousand Tyrants" in Hong Kong alone was 5 million Hong Kong dollars, excluding the theater share, the bottom fee, taxes, and the cost of the film.

Lei Weidong can earn more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong alone, and in the markets of Nanyang, Taiwan and other places, it is possible to earn millions or even tens of millions, and it can be said that he made a lot of money by only giving Wang Jing 50,000 yuan.

"Lei Shao, isn't it too much! If you don't want to cut it a little! Seeing that Lei Weidong had not replied, Wang Jing said with a little weakness.

"No! 50,000 is 50,000, but you have to shoot with your heart, don't deal with me! Lei Weidong said.

"Don't worry, Lei Shao, you can rest assured that I make a movie, no matter how fast the speed is, the quality can be guaranteed!" Hearing that Lei Weidong agreed to his request, Wang Jing immediately smiled all over his face, and as for Lei Weidong's request, he patted his chest and assured.

"Have you chosen the actors? When will it be turned on? ”

"I have already chosen, Xiaoqian Wang Lei Li, I am ready to choose the martial arts student Wang Yu to star, to Luo Sihai, I am ready to choose the handsome guy Xie Xian to play, as for the heroine Zhang Xiaoyong, I am ready to choose the big beauty Huang Xingxiu, as for the Shanghai tycoon Zhang Lie, I am ready to choose Chen Guantai to play the ....." Wang Jing gushed out the list of actors he had prepared.

Listening to Wang Jing's casting, Lei Weidong has to admit that Wang Jing is worthy of being one of the best people in the Hong Kong film industry.

Take a look at his movies, and the protagonists selected are all popular fried chicken in Hong Kong.

Among them, the handsome guy Xie Xian is Xie Tingfeng's father, and he is a well-known figure in the 21st century.

As for the big beauty Huang Xingxiu, her current fame is not lower than Zhao Yazhi, and she is a famous costume beauty. As for Wang Yu is also the current leader of the Shaw Brothers, with the addition of the old drama bone Chen Guantai, Lei Weidong has to say that Wang Jing is selecting personnel, and no one can match it.

"Fatty, it seems that these people you chose are all actors from Shaw Brothers and Wireless, and there won't be any trouble when the movie is made and released in Jiahe! When the time comes, Uncle Six will settle accounts with your father, but he doesn't care about my business. ”

Listening to the list of actors, Lei Weidong found a problem, that is, several leading actors are almost the same as in their previous lives, but in their previous lives, "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants" was produced by Shaw Brothers, and it was no problem to be released in Shaw Brothers theaters. Now put it in Jiahe, if the sixth uncle hits the street, he will definitely have nothing to say, if the box office is hot, it is estimated that Wang Jing will suffer, even if he can't catch Wang Jing, his father Director Wang Da will definitely not be able to run.

"It's okay, Lei Shao!" Wang Jing said with a smile:

"Now that Uncle Six's energy is focused on wireless, he has been trying hard all day to increase the stock of wireless, how can he have time to ask about Shaw Brothers. Now all the affairs of the Shaw Brothers are handed over to Miss Fang. You won't even bother with a trivial matter like this. ”

The investment matter is basically negotiated. Wang Jing regained the appearance of the smiling Buddha, took the fruit on the table and ate it.

"Uncle Six is now increasing his stake in wireless! When is the matter. ”

Hearing this news, Lei Weidong was a little surprised, you must know that now that Tycoon Li is still alive, the sixth uncle must have discussed with Tycoon Li to increase his shares, and he also got his support.

It seems that many rumors in the previous life are not credible, and it is estimated that there are many ulterior secrets that the three major foreign companies handed over the wireless to the sixth uncle to manage at that time. It's just that I don't know when Shao Tycoon started acting.

It seems that HSBC is going to help him make the acquisition in advance! Don't let Shao Tycoon get in trouble when the time comes!

"The specific time is not clear, but this news has long spread in the Shaw Brothers, and several high-level officials know it clearly, and now the Shaw Brothers are panicked, and I don't know if the sixth uncle will give up the Shaw Brothers after staying in the wireless! You must know that the movies shot by Shaw Brothers in the past two years have hit the streets one after another. The sixth uncle can't stand it no matter how big he is. ”

Wang Jing said as he nibbled on an apple.

Wang Jing is already dead set on Shaw Brothers!
