DreamWorks.

Lin Zuhui was in the office and made an appointment with DreamWorks' second-generation box office guarantee - Zhou Xingchi.

At this time, Zhou Xingchi has already shot three movies for DreamWorks and released them, achieving a box office of nearly 100 million, as if he has become a movie star of the same level as Cheng Long and Zhou Runhua.

In the office, Zhou Xingchi was sitting on the sofa with some restraint, and his master Pan Cheng was also sitting precariously; Standing in front of them is not a film company boss, but the head of the top ten chaebols in Xiangjiang, an old-level figure who holds the tongue and throat of Xiangjiang.

Here, Lin Zuhui picked up a check from his desk, walked to the sofa, and handed it to Zhou Xingchi.

"Xingzai, take it!"

Zhou Xingchi suppressed the feeling of wanting to worship in his heart, stood up, his hands trembled slightly, and took a little look, sure enough, it was a check!

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "These are the two movies "Gambling Saint" and "Gambler", and the company will reward you with a total of 1.2 million!" ”

Both movies have a box office of more than 40 million, and they also broke the box office record of Xiangjiang, but it stands to reason that this has nothing to do with Zhou Xingchi, he signed a four-year deed of sale, and the remuneration for each movie should have been 200,000; And this 1.2 million is completely a reward from DreamWorks.

Zhou Xingchi said excitedly: "Thank you boss, thank you Manager Pan!" ”

Pan Cheng stood up and said with a smile: "This is what the boss meant, don't thank me!" Originally, you were picked up by our company, the script was also provided by the company, and the contract was signed for four years; If you run into other companies, you can pay that much more! But you know, our boss is the most generous, and offers to give you a 3-point box office profit reward! I hope you film well, the boss will not treat you badly! ”

Zhou Xingchi's mood at this time was naturally very grateful to Lin Zuhui!

When the two movies "A Comic Book Goes to the World" and "The Saint of Gambling" were successful, he did regret signing a contract for four years, although he was popular with DreamWorks, but the four-year deed of sale is indeed a bit long, even if it is three years, he can accept it. However, when he signed the contract, the liquidated damages were 10 million, and he didn't dare to resist at all, and with the influence of the boss in the media communication industry, he didn't dare to do it.

However, when the master Pan Cheng revealed that the boss planned to give him a share of the reward, he had no other thoughts!

"I will conscientiously complete the company's shooting plan!"

Zhou Xingchi had the idea of doing his best for the company at this time, but he could only express it simply.

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "The company's script department has already made a lot of shooting plans for you next year, don't worry about no movies!" Let me tell you that if you can still be in good shape next year and actively and actively publish your ideas, I don't mind giving you two more points! ”

"Thank you boss, I will definitely take this job seriously and repay the company's kindness!" Zhou Xingchi was already trembling with excitement. How much is 5 points, I'm afraid that the salary of a movie should be over one million.

In fact, the film contract signed by DreamWorks and Zhou Xingchi did not talk about shooting commercials;

Therefore, in the future, he may earn more than his salary by shooting commercials.

Of course, he may not dare to risk the world's condemnation to terminate the contract with DreamWorks, and when he takes 10 million liquidated damages, he still has to consider the consequences. If Lin Zuhui wants to ban him, his life will not be easy.

Pan Cheng emphasized: "Next year, your scripts are all very good, especially the image of the first four 'gangsters', but it still maintains nonsensical funny." The company has made great efforts for your development! ”

Zhou Xingchi naturally knows the guarantee that 'DreamWorks products must be high-quality', so he is also very excited, and today's good news is one after another!

He feels that although he has acting skills and is now very famous, he still has to rely on the signboard and script of DreamWorks to continue to be popular.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "After the release of "The King of Tricks" in December, all newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong will describe you as 'Double Monday', and the honors of 'Star Master' and 'King of Comedy' will also come one after another, I hope you will make persistent efforts!" ”

He controls the paper media of Xiangjiang, and it is actually very easy to hold who to step on!

In a few words, Zhou Xingchi was dialed up, and he temporarily gained loyalty again!

In 1989, Chow Xingchi would shoot five films, including "Truant Dragon", "Gambler 2 Shanghai Beach Gambling Saint", "New Jingwumen 1991", "Deer and Ding Ji", and "Deer and Ding Ji 2 Shenlong Sect".

Released five movies at once!

In short, four years is enough to squeeze out Zhou Xingchi, and if he becomes his own boss in the future, I am afraid that he can only film "Shaolin Football" and "Kung Fu", or find a script by himself. Of course, if Liu Zhenwei asked him to shoot "Journey to the West", it would be okay.

After a while, a secretary came in and said that the guests had arrived, and Zhou Xingchi was about to leave, Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "It's okay, you're from DreamWorks, it's okay to listen to it!" ”

Zhou Xingchi suddenly couldn't move, and sat on the sofa honestly.

There were many guests who came in, including Xu Ke, Chen Xiaodong, and a young man - Li Lianjie.

Pan Chengxian introduced Lin Zuhui: "Boss, this is the kung fu star Li Lianjie who starred in "Shaolin Temple", who has just signed a contract with our DreamWorks for three years! ”

It's another deed of sale, Lin Zuhui thought to himself! There is no way, Li Lianjie came to Hong Kong in 1984 to develop and joined Shaw Brothers Films, but he didn't achieve anything, and Hong Kong people didn't eat his Shaolin Temple style.

In other words, Li Lianjie did not determine the style of the play, and DreamWorks is the king of this.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Our DreamWorks is a big name in action movies like Ah Fa, and we are also popular with the king of nonsensical comedy like Xingzai, and we are lacking a 'king of kung fu movies', and Ajie joined in a timely manner!" ”

Li Lianjie's face turned red, and he whispered: "Boss Xie Lin cultivates, I will work hard!" ”

Xu Ke on the side looked at Zhou Xingchi and said, "We are all called Xing Ye, I'm afraid that only Boss Lin can call Xing Zai!" ”

Indeed, there are indeed people in Xiangjiang who are calling Zhou Xingchi 'Star Master' now.

Everyone laughed, and then everyone sat down on the couch and chatted.

As a representative of DreamWorks, Pan Cheng said: "The two directors were invited this time to tailor a movie for Ajie - a remake of Jin Yong's "Smiling Proud Jianghu". ”

Xu Ke's studio has long ceased to work for Princess Jin alone, but has cooperated with Princess Jin, Golden Harvest, and DreamWorks; And the new art city has now been completely disbanded, and everyone is doing their own thing, and they are scattered.

As for Xiang Jia Yongsheng, who should have taken the lead in his previous life, I am afraid that he will not show anything in this life, after all, Zhou Xingchi and Li Lianjie are in the hands of DreamWorks.

And the back of DreamWorks is Lin Zuhui, and there is no club figure who dares to look for trouble openly, and there are club elders who were sent in by him!

Xu Ke was stunned for a moment, because he also wanted to shoot this theme recently, but he didn't expect to be mentioned by DreamWorks; But it doesn't matter, he can't afford to invest anyway, at most he will get dividends, and DreamWorks has always been generous.

"Where's the script outline?" Xu Ke asked.

Pan Cheng said with a smile: "Please two, you still need the script there!" However, the idea was that just five pages of the content of the film would be to make the fox rush down the mountain...... Finally, we wanted to add three elements to it: Hu Jinquan's story of the eunuch in Dongchang framing Zhongliang, Tsui Hark's cynical political criticism, and Cheng Xiaodong's dazzling martial arts design scene. ”

When Xu Ke heard this, he said with a smile: "Isn't this the outline of the script, I know that filming for your company is easy!" ”

Lin Zuhui said at this time: "This time we are cooperating in filming, prepared by your studio, our company participates in filming and investment, and your company takes a share!" ”

It's simple and clear, how much Xu Ke wants, DreamWorks basically won't be stingy here!

And now, Lin Zuhui's stake in Debao Cinema is also regarded as the simultaneous development of cinema and production, which is not worse than Golden Harvest!

Golden Harvest Movies has declined, in addition to the number of films made more than DreamWorks, in terms of quality, even the box office in Xiangjiang is not comparable.

It can be said that DreamWorks' box office in a year almost occupies more than 30% of Xiangjiang!

Xu Ke instantly understood, he was very satisfied with this kind of cooperation, and then looked at Li Lianjie, he guessed that DreamWorks wanted to make him popular, so he made such a concession. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I can directly mention the division of a few points, and that's it!

Zhou Xingchi on the side also had some inner fluctuations when he heard it, the company was holding the signboard again, and he felt a little pressure!

After all, he signed a four-year contract, and if DreamWorks felt that he didn't work hard enough during that period and reduced his film shooting plan, it would be a big loss!

After all, he now has an income of about 800,000 yuan from filming a drama!

At the end of the conversation, Lin Zuhui saw that it was almost time to eat dinner, so he invited everyone to have dinner together;

Everyone readily agreed, what an honor it was to be able to have dinner with the elders.

And when Lin Zuhui saw Brother Jie, he was also thinking in his heart, how about taking Li Zhi to visit the crew that day?

Of course, it was not to give his wife to him, but to cut off his thoughts!

Haha, that sounds like a great idea!

As for Ma Zi, who dared to chase his boss, Lin Zuhui felt that he didn't have the guts;

And Li Zhi probably can't look at an actor anymore, how comfortable she is now!

.......

The next day, in ATV's office, Lin Zuhui checked this year's accounts, which was shocking.

Up to now, Zhou Liang Shuyi has spent a full 700 million in just nine months.

No wonder Lin Baixin said in his previous life that ATV did not open 'HSBC', and accused Zhou Liang Shuyi of 'three points of merit and seven points'.

Of course, ATV's financial situation in this life is not bad, and the current loss is less than 200 million; And at this time, ATV's ratings have been opened with wireless three or seven, and even often reached four or six.

The important thing is that Lin Zuhui made a bold prediction after analyzing the financial books and some plans for next year: next year ATV will 'make no profit or loss', and even make a slight profit.

The reason why so many good shows are on stage, and ATV is not making money, the reason is very simple, ATV has been increasing its personnel, including staff, artists, etc.

For example, Dawn and Aaron Kwok, who were recently dug up, were hired by Akas to hire vocal teachers and dance teachers for training, and prepared to release records; Moreover, ATV takes into account its own shortcomings in the field of records, and is also ready to join forces with Polygram to make the two popular. Not only that, ATV also provided the two with resources on series and movies.

In Lin Zuhui's view, dismembering the four heavenly kings of wireless is a success.

Of course, since the two have strength, ATV's investment in the two will also be rewarded.

After a while, Zhou Liang Shuyi came to Lin Zuhui's office to report work, and what he was most concerned about was next year's arrangement!

That's it for this year, but he wants to turn ATV over next year!

In terms of dramas, there will be the fashion business war drama "Giant" at the beginning of next year, this series will definitely not be the same as the previous life, but it is generally the meaning, and even the content may be more exciting. "Giant" is a business war drama about the department store industry, Lin Zuhui has read the script and thinks it is very exciting, and the plot is compact.

vertex

And Taiwan's China Television also agreed to co-produce "Bao Qingtian", which was fully funded by ATV, and China Television was responsible for filming (ATV also participated), after filming, China Television enjoyed the copyright of Taiwan, and ATV enjoyed the copyright of all regions except Taiwan Island.

It is exactly what Lin Zuhui wants!

"How's the talent show?"

"The audition starts in December, and January is just the time to enter the broadcast link!"

Lin Zuhui nodded, and asked again: "Who is the millionaire?" ”

Zhou Liang Shuyi said: "There is hope for the broadcast in July! ”

"Okay, I won't urge you in this show, the important thing is to be wonderful in all aspects and make no mistakes! For example, all TV station employees, relatives and friends are not allowed to participate, you must understand this! ”

"Well, it's definitely not that joke!"

After chatting for a while, Zhou Liang Shuyi left.

ATV lost money this year, and Lin Zuhui could only use the money earned by DreamWorks to subsidize it.

It is equivalent to that he did not make any money in the communication industry this year, but it is a pity that he has so much pocket money.
