Chapter 057: The young man doesn't talk about martial arts
Zhao Donghuai knows that New World painted offline in Shaw Brothers Cinemas and got a box office of 20 million, which is just a slight profit.
The other city is where all the interests lie.
This is also why in the eighties and nineties, when Hong Kong films were at their most intense, the film industry was praised as having the same income as finance and real estate.
Why are there so many spicy associations, not only local clubs on Hong Kong Island are flocking to just eat?
A Hong Kong film will make a profit of several months or half a year or even less from the beginning to the next release.
………………
TVB TV City, after hanging up the call with Zhao Donghuai, Shao Yifu was speechless for a long time, he was planning to hold a celebration banquet for Zhao Donghuai in the past two days.
A sudden phone call made Shao Daheng very helpless and powerless.
A few years ago...... Forget it, a few years ago, it was impossible for him to let an outsider who "has the potential to be disobedient and not his own person" release a movie in Shaw Brothers Cinemas, let alone the support of the whole line in the back.
Isn't this October 1983, and by April 85, all theaters were either rented or sold to Pan Disheng, and it was not a day's cold to freeze three feet.
He also knows Li Guoxing's name, he is a second-generation in the Chinese film industry, he has connections and money, and he seems to be planning to enter the film industry, but he didn't expect Li Guoxing to go to Zhao Donghuai for cooperation with such courage.
"That Xiao Li, I'm afraid I don't want to use the new world as the first cannon and start his company's name, otherwise...... That's a bit too high. ”
In fact, it is true, Li Guoxing's original trajectory was to start an entertainment company in 1984, and there were not many films produced in Hong Kong Island, but in terms of distribution in other cities, it was also a signboard in Hong Kong films in the eighties and nineties.
"If Zhao Donghuai can be as obedient as Chu Yuan and the others, it would be good, maybe there will be a chance to revive the Shaw brothers."
Unfortunately, not.
A good director in Boss Shao's mind naturally gets a stable salary, such as a film of a few thousand yuan, soaking in the studio six days a week and constantly filming films, constantly filling the Shaw Brothers cinema line.
996 is the favorite of big businessmen.
But in Zhao Donghuai's new world, even the funds are handled by the other party himself.
He lent Zhao Donghuai 3 million, but he also had collateral, more than 2 million debts from the factories of public enterprises in the mainland, and interest was calculated according to HSBC interest.
He also knew that he had such a start-up capital at the beginning, and he didn't lend it to Zhao Donghuai, and the other party could also rely on that relationship to get money from other channels, so he said that Zhao Donghuai went to find some patriotic entrepreneurs such as Huo Sheng,...... That's not a problem.
Huo Sheng must be willing to help, at most, it is an extra trip to the trouble point.
Of course, with his support, Zhao Donghuai's rise to prominence has been much smoother, but what he helped was a small trouble, not a problem that he couldn't solve.
A little trouble?? It's a little trouble.
That guy's return gift is not bad, Ah Fa's salary has risen to 500,000, 800,000 or even 1 million, and at present, there are many film companies contacting Zhou Yunfa.
He is very optimistic about Wan Ziliang's value has also skyrocketed, you must know that Wan Ziliang made 7 movies for Shaw Brothers in 1984!
He knew that Zhao Donghuai didn't owe him, everyone earned it, not to mention that Zhao Donghuai took the initiative to call before signing a contract with Li Guoxing, the meaning is obvious, as long as he is willing to pay this price, for the sake of friendship, all the distributions of New World will be handed over to Shaw Brothers.
It's just that Li Guoxing's price is a bit high, and Shaw Brothers and the other party do things under the same conditions, so they earn less, and they spend a little more time.
It's just that I'm still angry in my heart.
When Shao Yifu frowned and pondered, Fang Yihuan knocked on the door and walked in, and when she saw his expression, she said in surprise, "Sixth brother? What's wrong? ”
Shao Yifu didn't hide it, and told the matter decisively.
Fang Yihuan was angry when she heard this, "Okay, he's a little red guy, isn't this crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?" Li Guoxing...... This young man doesn't talk about martial arts. ”
"Isn't opening such a high price to destroy the market?"
Boss Shao has nothing to say, he has destroyed the market a lot over the years, such as Zou Wenhuai.
Another example is Lei Juekun.
Li Guoxing's play is nothing more than a generation of newcomers moving forward.
Shao Daheng had nothing to say, Fang Yihuan frowned and said, "In the next play, will we still cooperate with Zhao Donghuai?" I heard that he already has an eyebrow for his next play, what kind of sample film has he made recently, and he wants to make trouble......"
Shao Yifu shook his head helplessly, "This is not necessary, anyway, ......"
His theater chain and the Shaw Brothers are about to close, and most of his energy and attention are on the TV station.
After thinking for a few seconds, "Let Ah Fa make a few more movies and see how much he can earn." ”
After a while, wait for Fang Yihuan to leave.
Shao Yifu drank a cup of tea, grabbed the phone and called Zhao Donghuai, the young man can do it if he wants, compared to Zou Wenhuai's run away and poached a large number of people from his Shaw Brothers.
This Ahuai is quite a lot more disciplined.
…………
Kowloon Tong Residence.
Zhao Donghuai didn't expect Boss Shao to reply so quickly, he can only say that times have changed, and he caught up with the good time when Pan Disheng easily crossed the line to become a movie tycoon.
"Originally, I still had more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and when I started with this 15 million, I would have a lot of debts to pay off, and the videotape distribution would allow the company to slowly collect money."
This money is used as start-up capital, and he has to think about how to spend it.
At this moment, the phone rang, and he found that it was the Li factory from eastern Guangdong, talking about He Qing, a little girl from Zhejiang Province, who had arrived on Hong Kong Island this afternoon and came with her father.
Zhao Donghuai smiled.
This is the encounter with a flower girl who can sign a long-term contract and can also hold it? With the level of the beauty who lives in the four famous novels, her acting skills will not be bad in the future.
It's okay to talk about it, even if the acting skills are not very good now...... You can also hone it down and make soy sauce in various films. Guan Jiahui only reappeared in the third part of Fuxing in 85, and it was still a big vase in the 90s.
At most, it is better than the vase acting skills of the Internet age.
By the way, the simulator he remembered showed that his father would suddenly die of a cerebral hemorrhage in December this year?? This is quite unlucky, and there should be some precautions.
…………
In the afternoon, Zhao Donghuai received He Qing and her father He Peilin, not to mention that the future beauty is still 19 years old and waiting to be released, He Peilin is not very old, in his 40s.
After the father and daughter saw Director Zhao, their expressions were more restrained and nervous.
We talked for a while...... The main reason was to learn that several bodyguards around Zhao Donghuai were all from the mainland, some from eastern Guangdong, and even from Zhejiang Province, and their mood suddenly relaxed a lot.
Wait to return to Kowloon Tong.
Zhao Donghuai helped the two book a hotel and arrange a salute.
took the two back to the company to talk about signing a contract, his standard is to sign a contract for five years, and the basic monthly salary of He Qing within five years is 3,000 yuan, guaranteeing at least one supporting role in a movie a year.
With a role, she can get a salary in addition to her monthly salary, including food and housing, and the contract also promises to invite some special personnel to teach and train her.
For example, if He Qing's acting skills are not good now...... You must ask someone to teach, Cantonese must be taught, and if the company plans to help her release an album in the future, she must ask someone to teach.
Father He was still hesitating, and the little girl couldn't wait to agree.
Director Zhao laughed and prepared to let the two fathers and daughters go for a physical examination, and there should be a hint of the risk of physical examination.
When he was arranging something, he heard the landline in the office ringing, walked back to answer the phone, and Guan Jiahui's voice sounded on the other side, "Brother Huai, where are you?" I have something I want to consult with you. ”
Zhao Donghuai smiled, "What's the matter?" ”
Guan Jiahui's voice was a little tentative, "Brother Huai, how about you say I signed with your company?" You don't pay for the new play, just include food and accommodation, if you have any chance, you have to take care of me more, I'm almost out of food, you can pity me. ”
"Flat or round, you can toss it~"
Talking and talking, Sister Guan was all coquettish and cute on the other side.
