Chapter 362, mid-1969
"This is the contract, this is the check, as long as you sign it, then our Xinghai Entertainment Company will take over your brokerage contract......
Andre smiled and took out a check and contract from his briefcase and pushed it in front of Bruce Lee:
"As for your contract with Fox Films, you don't need to come forward, we'll settle it for you..."
A young actor who is not yet famous, Bruce Lee's value can be said to be none.
Except for guest appearances in a few foreigner movies last year, Bruce Lee has basically been working as an action director in the past two years, rather than acting.
But in fact, Bruce Lee's most powerful thing is his kung fu.
Only through the movie to show his self-created Jeet Kune Do kung fu is the embodiment of Bruce Lee's value.
Whether it is Jingwumen, or Menglong Crossing the River and other movies, they are all his take-off works.
It's a pity that he died young, otherwise, the influence of kung fu superstars would be greater, and the influence of the four words of Chinese kung fu on the world would be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Looking at the string of zeros on the check, Bruce Lee was in a trance.
Two million US dollars, it's that easy to get?
Just signing?
"You can also ask a lawyer to look at the contract, it's okay, we are very sincere and patient enough!"
Although Andrei didn't quite understand why the boss valued the thin man in front of him so much, he still carried out the order very obediently.
Because it turns out that what the boss said, even if everyone didn't understand it, it turned out to be the boss in the end.
When Bruce Lee heard this, he nodded and agreed, first looking for a lawyer to read the contract, and then signing the contract if there was no problem.
A day later, in the same place, Bruce Lee signed the contract and the check was in hand.
Twentieth Century Fox quickly received Bruce Lee's termination money.
This was soon over.
Bruce Lee, who entered Xinghai Entertainment Company, was not immediately arranged to film, but was arranged to go to the Southern California Film Institute to study acting.
Because Zhou Jimin has watched each other's movies, he knows that Bruce Lee at this time is still very immature.
Or rather, there is no acting.
In fact, Bruce Lee was already a child star before he entered Twentieth Century Fox.
After signing with Fox, he also trained in acting immediately, but it didn't last long, and then he starred in the Green Hornet.
Therefore, at this time, there is no need to directly let him film.
Bruce Lee, who was sitting in the classroom, was stunned.
Spend two million dollars to get him to class?
Is that boss sick?
But he soon found out if he was sick.
Throughout the first half of '69, PHS shipped worldwide.
The price plummeted from 2099 to 1599.
Consumers are collectively excited.
Many high-profile mobile phones that have just emerged have died on the beach again because of this wave of price reductions and promotions.
Even if they don't die, they are gritting their teeth and staying up.
There is no way, whether it is the quality or price of the mobile phone, whether it is the strength of the company or other aspects, PHS beats other high-quality mobile phone companies.
In such a situation, the companies that have not gone bankrupt and closed down are relying on the blood transfusion of the capital behind them, gritting their teeth and persevering.
Although PHS is not a monopoly on the market, it is a de facto monopoly.
Alex and others, throughout the first half of the year, have been secretly rejoicing.
Fortunately, they left early, otherwise if they continued to grit their teeth and persevere, they would only lose more money now.
PHS has gone completely crazy!
In the global market, there is only one PHS mobile phone, and none of the other mobile phone brands can survive for more than half a year.
After entering the summer vacation, starting in July, PHS continued to reduce prices.
1099 US Knife!
Almost all consumption
When he learned the price, he was shocked and speechless.
With the best-selling of PHS mobile phones, in the field of games, arcade machines such as Snake have also quickly dominated the market.
The game company has launched several arcade machines, and although they are expensive, they are really popular.
A number of new games such as Alien Invasion entered the market, and 100,000 consoles were sold worldwide in just one month.
The price of one such arcade machine is as high as 6,700 US dollars, which is a lot of money.
Ordinary middle class did not dare to buy it, and only wealthy families, bars, agents, etc. dared to buy such arcade machines.
It's just that compared to PHS's dominance in the mobile phone market, the position of arcades in the game field is a little awkward.
Because there are too many competitors in this field, and technically, the threshold is not very high.
So it is impossible to form a dominant position.
Of course, by developing more games, expanding the team, and working hard, slowly, it will always be done.
In addition to the game company on the southern island, there is also a game company on the Bald Eagle side.
The two companies are both cooperative and competitive.
There has not yet been a left-handed fight, but in the future, after the market is saturated, such a situation will soon form.
And in July, Bruce Lee also returned to the southern island to prepare for two films.
The eldest brother of Tangshan was the first to start, and Jingwumen was behind.
Zhou Jimin happened to accompany Xu Mei and them on the island, and taught Zhou Qingyue to sing by the way.
The latter is going to release another album early next year, so it needs to be prepared in advance.
"BOSS, Bruce Lee is filming here on the island, do you want him to come and meet you?"
Liang Wenfeng also came back to the southern island, which was supposed to be on vacation.
learned from Li Yuzhu that Zhou Jimin was also on the island, so he took the initiative to contact him.
"No, I'll arrange for my friend to go and see it then."
The vest is Michael, and the deity went to see Bruce Lee in person, just out of curiosity.
At the same time, I just want to distract myself.
Kids love to run around, so take them out for a walk.
"I just received a phone call, there is a movie that your father and I invested in, which is being shot here, it is a movie about Wuhan University, do you want to go and see it?"
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Jimin asked with a smile at Xiaoyue.
The children jumped up to him in an instant, saying what they wanted to see.
The little expressions were very happy, it didn't matter what they went to see, the important thing was that their father was willing to take them.
Qin Jingru asked in surprise:
"Jimin, when did you invest in movies?"
With the expansion of their career territory, Qin Jingru and her sisters no longer have much idea of how much industry they have.
On the southern island, the publishing industry giant Qihang Publishing House is their family's sole proprietorship, the newspaper industry giant Apple Daily, the toy industry giant, the comic industry giant, etc., are their family's industries.
Even in recent years, a building in the central business district of Hong Kong Island has also been the property of their family.
This property has not yet been built, and a small half of it was built last year, and it should be able to be successfully topped out by the end of this year.
No way, this property has a very high floor, higher standards, and an investment of more than 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars.
The exact amount of investment depends on the price growth in recent years.
After all, it's a new landmark on Hong Kong Island, and even the tallest building in the world, so it's naturally different.
The more the building is to the high-rise, the more difficult it is, and the higher the requirements for technology and other aspects.
So it's normal to be slower.
There are so many industries that Qin Jingru and the others can't count at all, but they are more impressed by the entertainment industry.
Because Zhou Qingyue in the family is a singer, she pays more attention to these aspects.
What's more, they also like to watch movies and TV series.
"I suddenly remembered it while watching a movie some time ago, and I haven't had time to tell you yet."
Zhou Jimin smiled and explained.
The children couldn't wait, pulling and going outside.
With so many children going out together, there are several cars just to pick them up.
Therefore, Zhou Jimin directly asked people to help transform an ultra-luxury mobile RV.
As long as everyone goes out in groups, especially in the city, they generally drive this car.
Of course, if you're leaving the southern islands for another city, take a plane.
Now Zhou Jimin's stealth plane can be docked directly on the tarmac of the villa and take off and land vertically freely.
Anyway, this is the top of the Taiping Peak, and no one comes, let alone anyone can see it, so it doesn't matter.
However, after the building in Central is built, the middle and high-rise of the station building will probably be able to see the villa on the top of the Victoria Peak.
Even so, it doesn't matter, anyway, when you get on and off the plane, you can arrange a wall or bus next to it to block the view of the building.
Xu Mei and the others were urged by the children to hurry up and get in the car, but they were helpless.
The RV was big enough, and when they came up, they all ran to the big bed, and they were bouncing around on the sofa in the living room.
In short, there is no moment of stopping.
It's not easy to bring a baby.
The car was a bodyguard, and there were two Rolls-Royces in front and behind, but Zhou Jimin did not take a Rolls-Royce, but got into an RV.
In the original time and space, Tangshan Big Brother is a martial arts movie with a very low cost and a very simple and crude plot, but it is also very bloody.
The plot is very simple, that is, the protagonist Zheng Chaoan was sent by his mother to Southeast Asia to work as an ice worker, and was often bullied by local bullies and supervisors, and because he found out that it was a factory that made independence, the workers also disappeared mysteriously, causing Zheng Chaoan to suppress the sense of justice in his heart and completely overturn the factory.
is a very simple and monotonous storyline, more of a martial arts scene.
But under Zhou Jimin's pen, the plot is much fuller.
First of all, you need to explain clearly, why was Zheng Chaoan sent to Southeast Asia by his mother? The second is to enrich the emotional line of the hero and heroine, which cannot be too simple and rude, nor can it become a Qiong Yao drama.
In addition to the fullness of the plot, the investment should not be too simple, and the shooting location, lens use, etc., must be at the best level at present.
In fact, in this era, the most powerful part of the movie is not Hollywood, but Europe.
Art films in Europe are indeed very bomby.
But it's useless, after all, movies in this era are not very entertaining.
Many movies are simple and rude, and for Zhou Jimin, there is nothing to watch.
According to the movie of the original time and space, it was to find a small village in Southeast Asia to shoot the movie, but Zhou Jimin directly rejected it.
In the southern island, it is not too easy to find such a village.
In the New Territories, Yuen Long and other places, there are too many places to shoot.
It's really not possible, and it is very simple to build a similar studio directly, and the investment is not large.
After all, the two million dollars have been taken out, and you are reluctant to pay for other money?
Besides, Brother Tangshan is already an adapted version.
The reason why Zheng Chaoan was sent by his mother to work in a factory in Southeast Asia was because he asked for it, and he needed to find his girlfriend.
This is a version of a Hurricane Rescue movie that saves your girlfriend.
After destroying the Southeast Asian independence factory, Zheng Chaoan found another clue, his girlfriend had been sent to Europe three months ago.
So, he embarked on a journey to Europe again, once again smashed the Yellow Dragon, and swept away the local gangsters.
Then he managed to save his girlfriend, but at this time, he received a letter from his mother's best friend, and his mother was missing.
Here it is
The last easter egg of the movie is the beginning of the plot of the second episode of Tangshan's big brother.
I believe that in this era, no one can stop such a plot.
Because of the hurricane rescue starring Bruce Lee, such a movie, Rao is a script written by Zhou Jimin himself, and he wants to see the finished film.
Scripts and storyboard scripts, these are all provided by Zhou Jimin.
After all, no one is more familiar with the plot of the hurricane rescue than him.
Although the magic has changed a lot of plots, and the mobile phone has not yet appeared, so international calls cannot appear at all.
Mobile phones are available in Europe, but not in Southeast Asia.
After all, a small village with a mobile phone, PHS is not so popular with the sky.
Zhou Jimin's family came to the studio in the New Territories, which is a photography base invested and built by Xinghai Entertainment Company.
In later generations, there will still be a lot of wasteland in the New Territories.
Not to mention in this day and age.
Because it is his own industry, when Zhou Jimin came, except for the producers and base management here, no one else knew.
After walking into the studio, Zhou Jimin just watched from a distance, and did not come close to disturb Bruce Lee's shooting.
Not to mention, Bruce Lee's fight scenes are very enjoyable.
"Dad, is he Bruce Lee?"
Zhou Bingxu looked at Bruce Lee in the distance, watching the latter with his upper body naked, filming the fight scene over and over again, feeling so strange and a little boring.
"Yes, he is Bruce Lee, and in the future, he will be an international superstar......
Regarding Bruce Lee becoming an international superstar, Zhou Jimin never doubted it at all.
Some people are born to be the protagonists.
And Bruce Lee is such a person.
Despite the original time and space, Bruce Lee's untimely death was like a meteor streaked across the sky.
But the traces left around the world are far-reaching.
In this life, Zhou Jimin believes that the other party will go further.
After all, the Tangshan Big Brother movie already has its own international superstar attributes.
At that time, it will be released not only on the southern islands, but also in Bald Eagle, South America, Europe and other places.
Even, Zhou Jimin took the film to Oasis New Town for screening.
