Chapter 258: The Godfather of Xiangjiang Movies, Run Run Shaw!!
Hong Kong Island
Orchid Garden Tea Restaurant.
Han Yanrou came to the box where she met Brother Long yesterday, and thought that she was about to meet "Run Run Shaw", the father of Xiangjiang films, and couldn't help but feel a little excited and excited. Standing at the door of the box and straightening his somewhat messy sideburns, he pushed the door in.
The first person who came into view was Cheng Long, who was dressed in casual clothes and had a simple and resolute face, followed by an old man wearing a white Tang suit, walking on a civilized crutch, and being over the age of sixties.
Although the old man is over the age of six, he still looks energetic, his eyes are bright, and the temperament exuded from his body is even more elegant!
Presumably this old man is the legendary father of Xiangjiang movies "Run Run Shaw".
Putting away her gaze, Han Yanrou immediately showed a charming smile and said, "Brother Long, I'm not late!" ”
"It's not late, it's just right."
Seeing Han Yanrou push the door in, Cheng Long got up and beckoned him to sit down with a smile when he heard the words.
Hearing this, Run Run Shaw, who was sitting on the main seat, also set his eyes on Han Yanrou.
The first impression he had was: very beautiful, slim, and outstanding temperament!
In today's entertainment industry, where female celebrities are popular for plastic surgery, it is difficult to see such a natural woman.
So on the first impression, Run Run Shaw has a natural affection for Han Yanrou.
"Yanrou, let me introduce you, this is the founder of Golden Harvest Pictures and TVB, and also my mentor, Run Run Shaw, Old Man Shao."
"The younger generation has long admired Shao Lao's fame, I have seen your movies since I was a child, and I like them very much!" Han Yanrou's eyes showed respect and admiration, and she hurriedly got up and stretched out her soft hand to Shao Lao.
"Miss Han, young and promising, the old man you sang "Laughing at the Wind and Cloud" also likes it a lot!" Shaw smiled kindly and held out his hand to shake his hand.
……
Then, after a polite remark and a commercial blow, the two sides entered the formal cut-in mode.
"Miss Han, the script of "The True Color of Heroes" that your crew is filming, Yuan Lou showed me very well, I heard that you wrote it yourself?" Run Run Shaw took a sip of tea and moistened his throat before speaking.
Han Yanrou smiled and said modestly and politely: "It is an honor for the clumsy work of the younger generation to be affirmed by Elder Shao!" ”
"Miss Han, you're too modest."
"In front of the seniors, this ability of the juniors is nothing."
"Not arrogant, not impatient, modest, Miss Han, you deserve to be able to achieve today's success!" The more Run Run Shaw looked at Han Yanrou, the more pleasing he became, and his eyes showed a look of relief.
This woman is not only talented in music, but also not much worse than a professional screenwriter in writing movie scripts, or even too much.
"Old Shao, I've won the prize." Han Yanrou smiled, looking modest.
"Miss Han deserves it," Run Run Shaw smiled and waved his hand.
Then, Run Run Shaw seemed to think of something, his smile retracted, and he said solemnly: "Miss Han, I won't say much about the polite old man, let Yuanlou ask you over today, in fact, I want to cooperate?" ”
"Cooperation?" Han Yanrou was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Old Shao, what do you mean by cooperation?" ”
"Since Miss Han can write such a wonderful script as "The True Color of Heroes", she must be able to write an even more wonderful script, right?" Run Run Shaw glanced at Han Yanrou with a smile, meaning something.
An unexpected light flashed in Han Yanrou's eyes, and she naturally heard another meaning from Run Run Shaw's words, which was nothing more than cooperating in making a movie.
Immediately, Han Yanrou showed a confident smile and said, "Naturally, you can, but if I'm not mistaken, Shao always wants to make a movie with me, right?" ”
"Haha, yes, it's a collaborative movie!" Seeing that Han Yanrou understood, Run Run Shaw smiled heartily and admitted it.
"Then I don't know how Shao Lao wants to cooperate?" Han Yanrou was silent for a moment, then thought for a while and asked.
In fact, to be able to cooperate with Golden Harvest Pictures, Han Yanrou agrees 100%.
Because whether it is funds, or theaters and movie promotion channels, it is far more powerful than Feiyang Entertainment and Tianhe Film and Television!
The key is that Golden Harvest has opened up the overseas cinema market and has a deep cooperative relationship with Paramount, one of the six major Hollywood film giants.
By the way, the six major Hollywood film giants are Disney, Twentieth Century Fox, Universal, Paramount, Warner, Sony Columbia.
These six Hollywood companies have a lot of money, and they produce many super blockbusters every year, which are the same as the names of the six Hollywood film giants in the previous life, but all the blockbusters produced have been replaced by super blockbusters that Han Yanrou doesn't know.
To get back to the point, compared with the three major film giants of the domestic veteran film industry Huanyu, China Film and Huayi Brothers, the foreign film market opened up by Golden Harvest Pictures in Xiangjiang is much more mature, and it is far from being comparable to the three families.
Hearing Run Run Shaw's intention to cooperate, Han Yanrou began to think about how to maximize the benefits for his side.
"In terms of cinemas and publicity channels, we are responsible for Golden Harvest, and we are jointly responsible for the investment of funds, how about it?" After speaking, Run Run Shaw looked at Han Yanrou with bright eyes, waiting for her reply.
"This is okay, how much do you Golden Harvest share in the dividends after the box office?" Han Yanrou pondered for a moment and asked.
"We only need 30 percent of Golden Harvest." Run Run Shaw smiled slightly, and his words were astonishing.
Not only was Han Yanrou stunned when she heard this, showing a look of surprise, but Brother Long, who was "playing soy sauce" on the side, was also full of surprise and disbelief.
Recovering from her surprise, Han Yanrou hurriedly asked, "Old Shao, are you sure it's thirty percent?" ”
"That's right, thirty percent!" Old God Shao took a sip of tea and nodded in confirmation.
"Well, Elder Shao, isn't it a little too little for you Jiahe to only take thirty percent?"
"Quite a bit, I think it's just right." Run Run Shaw waved his hand and smiled.
In fact, he doesn't want to lower the share price, he doesn't want anything, just for investment.
In the 80s and 90s, martial arts films, kung fu films, gunfight films, police and gangster films, and comedy films shot by Xiangjiang were all the rage.
And at that time, not many families had televisions, so to watch a movie in addition to the cinema, I went to the video store to watch the CD.
Or, neighbors, friends' houses have video recorders, and they all go to other people's homes to watch them, which has become the youth memory of people in that era.
Ahem...... A bit off track, back to the topic.
Nowadays, Xiangjiang films have gradually moved from the original golden age to a low ebb, and even the current Xiangjiang cannot make better works.
As a result, most of the movies shot by Xiangjiang now take the emotional route, and the routine is always the same routine, eating the old business.
Gradually, people see more, and visual fatigue naturally occurs.
As for the domestic film market, it is not much better than the Xiangjiang Film Market, almost standing still, and the routines are always so many routines.
At this time, the emergence of European and American blockbusters attracted the attention of domestic audiences, and even the most inferior European and American sci-fi blockbusters were almost full, making foreigners unable to make money.
This situation is undoubtedly a satire and blow to the entire Chinese movie!
Although there are several innovative Chinese films, they are just a drop in the bucket, and they can't change the current downturn of Chinese films.
And what does he see now, he sees hope from the movie "The True Color of Heroes", and sees a huge opportunity to revitalize the Xiangjiang Film Market and even the Chinese Film Market!
Therefore, he only needs 30%, and the money will never be finished, but he can make Xiangjiang Films and even Huaxia Films rise, even if he loses money, he feels that it is worth it!
