Chapter 108 [Arrangement of the Film Company] (Ask for a monthly pass!) )

DreamWorks Films, an office building in Kowloon Bay, where Lam lived when he first crossed.

On Thursday, Lin Zuhui came to the 'DreamWorks' film office.

Although he doesn't pay attention to DreamWorks, it doesn't mean that he has completely forgotten this company, after all, if there is no guidance from Lin Zuhui, he will be blind to the word "DreamWorks".

On the same day, Lin Zuhui needed to meet many people, and Cai Ning, the former secretary and current lover, arranged the time in an orderly manner; Let Lin Zuhui try to use one day to convey the development plan of DreamWorks Films next year.

At half past eight in the morning, Lin Zuhui met with Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang of Golden Harvest.

Zou Wenhuai was anxious to buy the overseas distribution of "The True Colors of Heroes", in addition to the box office performance of "The True Colors of Heroes" itself in Xiangjiang for 25 days, he also believed that Lin Zuhui said that "The True Colors of Heroes" will definitely sell well in Japan, Southeast Asia, and South Korea, after all, Lin Zuhui's legendary experience shows that he has a good vision, of course, he also has his own vision.

In the office, Pan Cheng and Cai Ning were accompanied, and Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang of Golden Harvest were guests.

"Boss Lin, according to the original agreement, I brought a check for 10 million!" Zou Wenhuai will not regard Lin Zuhui as the boss of a small film company, but as a 'well-known business figure in Hong Kong'.

In terms of net worth, Lin Zuhui has surpassed Zou Wenhuai; When it comes to fame, Lin Zuhui is in full swing.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Don't worry, Boss Zou!" I pay the most attention to honesty in business, and when Shaw Brothers Movies came to the door, we have all clearly refused! ”

Although Shaw Brothers leased the cinema chain in Xiangjiang to Debao at a price of 40 million per year, others still have many cinema chains in Southeast Asia, and their strength is greater than that of Cathay Pacific Institution, an ally of Golden Harvest.

However, in recent years, Golden Harvest has released a large number of films overseas, and its distribution advantages are no longer matched; After all, Cheng Long and Hong Fatzi's movies can achieve high box office every time in Japan and South Korea, which is also related to Golden Harvest's distribution ability.

Zou Wenhuai looked at Lin Zuhui's confident appearance, as if he saw the glory of Li Xiaolong at the beginning.

However, Zou Wenhuai also felt sorry for Lin Zuhui, because Chow Runhua, who became popular in "The True Color of Heroes", did not sign a 'binding contract' with DreamWorks.

Chow Runhua has recently been called the sweetheart of the Xiangjiang film industry, worth a triple jump, with a salary of more than 600,000 yuan per film, and he has to wait for Chow Runhua's schedule. Even Golden Harvest is no exception, planning to find Chow Runhua to shoot a movie, and is currently studying the script.

After chatting for a while, Lin Zuhui said again: "Boss Zou, we have a movie, and we also hope to release it in your theaters, please arrange a date." ”

"A Chinese Ghost Story?"

"Not bad! This time, we still choose two theaters to cooperate, Golden Harvest and Debao. And this film is also very suitable for overseas distribution, if the cooperation is happy, we still choose to buy out overseas to you! ”

"Boss Lin, you also know that our Golden Harvest cinema is actually very busy! However, we will try our best to arrange a cinema for you. ”

Lin Zuhui actually doesn't care, Debao's cinema line is begging for cooperation, but if Golden Harvest also agrees to arrange a cinema, it is obviously more beneficial; It is also thanks to Lin Zuhui's strong financial strength, plus the reason why Golden Harvest has to pay attention to 'Dream Factory', so the two theaters were released at the same time.

If you encounter other small film companies, you will have to be controlled by these giants just in the theater line.

As for the Golden Princess, it is going downhill, and the new art city has begun to tend to 'exist in name only', and it will be dissolved directly in a few years. And Lin Zuhui waved his hoe and wooed Xu Ke's studio, which offended Princess Jin, so he didn't consider releasing it in their theaters.

Sending Zou Wenhuai and others away, Lin Zuhui took a short break in the office, and Pan Cheng sensibly withdrew temporarily, leaving Cai Ning.

Lin Zuhui closed his eyes, only to feel a fragrant breeze coming, and then a pair of warm hands helped him massage it.

"Boss, since you know that "The True Color of Heroes" will be a big hit, why don't you sign a long-term contract with Chow Yunhua?"

"No, as long as you pay for it, he will come to film for you! Why should we save those hundreds of thousands of salaries! ”

In fact, today's actors are unwilling to sign long-term contracts, that is, to make one and settle one, unless they are newcomers. Even if it is a director, he will not sign that kind of contract, and the main reasons why Wu Yusen is willing to sign a contract for 5 films are: first, there is a profit share; second, he is not restricted from making films from other companies; Third, he is at the point where he has no director, much worse than Chow Yun-fat's situation.

"Come to me at night, boss?" Cai Ning lay his head on Lin Zuhui's shoulder, and looked at Lin Zuhui with a breath like an orchid.

Lin Zuhui opened his eyes and asked playfully: "You, the little secretary, still want to arrange my right to pick a brand?" ”

Cai Ning boldly came to the front from the back, sat in Lin Zuhui's arms, and then put his hands around Lin Zuhui's arms recklessly.

At this time, Lin Zuhui's face and Cai Ning's big lantern were getting closer and closer, the woman deliberately straightened, the white shirt seemed to be about to collapse, and through the gap, even the black lace inside could be seen.

"Watch out for the impact!" Lin Zuhui swallowed his saliva and strictly ordered Cai Ning's next move.

"Hee-hee!" Cai Ning smiled and moved his body outward.

Then, Cai Ning said coquettishly: "I dare to arrange for you to have the right to pick a brand, but I don't have 1 night a week!" ”

This woman, her knowledge, appearance, and career are all outstanding, and there is no need to be wronged by a rich man as a third wife and four wives, no matter how bad she is, she can be a good seedling of a second wife, and then take the opportunity to replace the original partner.

However, she knew that Lin Zuhui had many women, and she still moths to the fire, which made Lin Zuhui suspect that she had 'scheming'.

Suspicion is suspicion, but Lin Zuhui thinks that he is not the king of Zhou You, and he can be a woman who can 'play the princes of the beacon fire'. His attitude towards women is very simple, it doesn't hurt to have a little money for himself, he wants his own career and family property, and he dreams about it!

"Okay, I'll clean up your little goblin tonight!"

"Thank you, Lord Longne!"

Soon, the two separated, and Cai Ning still understood proportions.

After a while, Lin Zuhui met with Wu Yusen and Chow Yun-fat.

"Director Wu, Brother Fa, sit down!" Lin Zuhui got up and came to the sofa and invited warmly.

After everyone sat down, Cai Ning took out a document and handed it to the two of them.

Lin Zuhui said: "I called you here this time, and it is like this: the company plans not to shoot "True Colors of Heroes 2" first, and wait for the second half of next year to shoot again; Here's an outline of the script, shoot first. ”

Wu Yusen and Chow Runhua picked up the script and looked at it, this is the script outline of "Prison Storm", Lin Zuhui feels that DreamWorks will cooperate with Chow Runhua at least twice next year, so as to make more profits.

Lin Zuhui remembers that in his previous life, after Chow Runhua became popular with "Little Brother" (1986), and then ushered in a career explosion in 1987, five of the top ten box office in Xiangjiang seem to be Chow Runhua's movies, of which "Prison Storm" is the second most popular movie, and the first seems to be Cheng Long's movie.

In this way, DreamWorks' two Chow Yunhua movies "True Colors of Heroes 2" and "Prison Storm" next year will at least have a total box office of 60 million in Xiangjiang.

Zhou Runhua took a look at it, and said seriously: "I have no problem, although many film companies have asked me to cooperate recently, I will definitely complete the invitation to shoot at DreamWorks." ”

Lin Zuhui said happily: "Brother Fa is angry! In this way, we will pay 1.5 million for the salary of the two movies next year. ”

Zhou Runhua excused himself: "Now my salary level is 600,000, is DreamWorks giving too much!" Moreover, the script of this "Prison Storm" is very good, it is a movie with a very good theme, and I also like it very much. ”

He felt that DreamWorks had turned him over, so he was very grateful!

"It's okay, it's the box office reward of "The True Color of Heroes"!"

Wu Yusen naturally has no relationship, he has a salary of 200,000 yuan per movie, plus a 3% profit share; According to the current box office calculation of "The True Color of Heroes", he can get a salary of 500,000; Not only that, but DreamWorks also gave him a lot of benefits, such as car and assistant.

"Boss, this script of "Prison Storm" is still an outline, could it be that your friend's masterpiece is again?" Wu Yusen asked suspiciously.

This dog's day, can you talk, pretend not to know about this kind of thing!

Of course, he won't figure it out - if it is Lin Zuhui's script outline, then there is no need to hide anything.

"Well, that friend of mine is not a professional, sometimes when his brain is hot, he will make a script for me! He has a stubborn personality, I shouted him to be complete, but he ignored me, and said if he wanted love! Of course, he is mainly engaged in academic research, and I don't want to trouble him for such a trivial matter! ”

"That's it! Then he really has ideas! ”

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "In this way, I heard that the screenwriter of Nanyan in Xinyi City is very strong, you go and call him to cooperate, and let him work with you to complete the script." It's better to be convenient to be named, and it's okay to be inconvenient to be named, in short, everyone won't have trouble with money. ”

The original director was Lin Lingdong, and the screenwriter was Nan Yan (Lin Lingnan), and the two were brothers; Lin Lingdong is not moving, that is a cutting-edge director just trained by Xinyicheng, and he is also a director of profiteering aesthetics.

It just so happens that Wu Yusen has five films on his side, so please invite him!

Although Lin Zuhui was very polite to the director and the leading actors, he actually didn't have much contact with them, and he didn't have much friendship, so after the two talked about things, Pan Cheng sent them away for himself.

After getting the two movies next year, Lin Zuhui naturally won't be satisfied with that achievement, so he decided to take the "Rich and Powerful" series to DreamWorks Pictures to shoot.

There are a total of four films in the "Rich and Powerful" series, with an average box office of 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and the important thing is only a small investment movie.

Lin Zuhui called Pan Cheng and Cai Ning, and the three of them sat on the sofa.

He took out the outline of "Rich and Powerful", this movie is really just an outline, Lin Zuhui has only seen it once or twice, and the content barely has some memory; But it just so happens that the director and screenwriter is Gao Zhisen, and the starring roles are Dong Biao, Shen Dianxia, Zeng Zhiwei, and Li Lizhen.

"Here's an outline of the film's script, and it's also the shooting plan for next year! Manager Pan, you first contact director Gao Zhisen to see if he is interested in transferring to our company! The salary is not a problem, you will promise him how he speaks, as long as it is not too outrageous! ”

Originally, in history, Gao Zhisen transferred from Xinyicheng to Debao Film in 1986, which shows that he has a schedule; Gao Zhisen was a relatively well-known comedy director in his previous life, and he directed comedies such as "Happy Ghost", "Rich and Rich", and "Happy Events in the Family".

Moreover, he is a screenwriter, actor, and host, as long as he is wooed, there is no need to worry about the "Rich and Powerful" series of movies; As for actors such as Dong Biao, Shen Dianxia, and Zeng Zhiwei, as long as they give money, they can play as much as they want.

"Okay, I got it!"

"Remember, this "Rich and Powerful" is one of our main shooting plans for next year, and we must pay enough attention to it."

"Yes, boss!"

Next year's three movies can barely support the three words 'DreamWorks', and the scripts of DreamWorks are all provided by Lin Zuhui, and they do not accept outside scripts for shooting, so they take the 'boutique route'.

The "True Colors of Heroes" series, "A Chinese Ghost Story" series, and "Rich and Powerful" series can all be made into a series of movies.
