Chapter 382
"Brother Ten. Xiang Huasheng walked into the office that once belonged to him, knocked on the door, and greeted Xiang Huasheng with a smile who was sitting behind his desk and looking at Wen Jiàn.
Xiang Huaxuan raised his head, saw Xiang Huasheng standing at the door, stood up with a smile, threw Wen Jiàn and the pen on the desk, strode over and patted the other party's shoulder: "How is it?
Xiang Watson handed the two bottles of red wine in his hand to the other party: "The two most beautiful bottles in my winery were specially brought back for you and your tenth sister-in-law." ”
"Come and sit. Xiang Huaxuan took the red wine, sat on the sofa with one hand around Xiang Huasheng's shoulder, and sat next to his thirteenth brother.
chatted with Xiang Huaxuan about the scenery and people of Australia, and asked Watson: "I came in and saw you sitting behind the table writing and painting, this kind of thing is handed over to the tenth sister-in-law, the tenth sister-in-law is a woman, and she is more careful." ”
Xiang Huaxuan heard Xiang Huasheng ask about his situation, shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"It just so happens that you are back, if you don't come back, I am going to go to Australia to see you, and the company's efficiency has not been very good recently. ”
Xiang Watson bumped his tenth brother with the shoulder with the action that his brothers often did when he was a child: "What do you do with this kind of thing to tell me? Now that the company makes decisions, I am only responsible for sharing the money, are you afraid that I will complain to you when I dislike your year-end dividends?"
"I'll do this kind of thing, huh?" Xiang Huaxuan took out two cigars from the low drawer in front of the sofa: "Authentic Cuban goods, hard to find, try it." ”
Xiang Watson cut off the eggplant cap, lit the cigar and asked Xiang Huaxuan, who was lighting his own cigar, "Isn't it, you usually go to the cigar bar when you taste cigars, but now you are so desperate that you even eat cigars in the office?"
"I was busy, I made a few movies, and the box office wasn't very good. Xiang Huaxuan put down the cigarette lighter, took a puff of cigar and said.
Recently, the box office of Yongsheng movies is not very high, although the previous "Brave Love" used Huo Dongjun, Liu Dehua, Li Xiuxian and others, but it happened to be "Gambler" on the side of Dongyi Movie The blow is not clear, Dongyi's boss Liu Zhenwei is so-so in making gambling films, but playing follow-up and spoofs is easy to do, Zhou Xingchi and Zhou Runfa's gambling films are very popular, Liu Zhenwei has the motivation to squeeze out this theme, although he knows that he can't over-consume Zhou Xingchi and Zhou Runfa, the two golden signs of gambling films, but others can use them, invited Mei Yanfang, Wu Mengda and the old team of "Gambling Saint", more than a month, spent more than 4 million to make another "Gambling Boss", which happened to be with Yongsheng's "Brave Love" when it was released bumped into each other, Liu Zhenwei even used Zhou Xingchi's avatar as the starring actor on the poster, making the audience think that this was a new movie starring Zhou Xingchi, but when they entered the cinema, they found that Zhou Xingchi had only been exposed in it for less than three minutes.
Originally, Yongsheng was ready to find a good newspaper to write an article attacking Dongyi, but the audience's feedback said that this film was good, as funny as ever, and the box office received more than 20 million.
Xiang Huaxuan asked Wang Jing to shoot the large-scale production "G4 Fengyun", which has already completed the post-production and set the summer file, but Dongyi has released "Gambler" to play against the stage, Zhou Xingchi, Liu Dehua, and Zhou Yanfa's lineup makes the starring list of Huo Dongjun, Liu Dehua, Li Xiuxian, and Guan Zhilin in "G4 Fengyun" seem uncompetitive.
The rise of Dongyi has little impact on Golden Harvest and Golden Princess, because the two companies have their own killer features, Golden Harvest has Cheng Long alone, which can allow Hong Kong fans to enter the theater to buy tickets, and Golden Princess can also attract a large audience with family comedies, plus there are ghosts such as Xu Wei and Mecca, and they can still be with Golden Harvest for a long time.
But other companies are not good at all, even if it is Yongsheng, it has a good reputation in the film industry, but the impact is enough to make Xiang Huaxuan scratch his head, first of all, the problem of starring in the movie, the schedule of popular stars is very difficult to get, Yongsheng uses Zhou Runfa the most, but with Zhou Runfa becoming popular once in recent years, even if Yongsheng has a lot to do with entertainment, it is impossible to arrange all the schedules to Yongsheng. The second is the cost of films, now Hong Kong has one more Xinbao cinema line, Xinbao is not a production company, only a cinema line, so now almost all small companies in Hong Kong want to arrange Xinbao's schedule, everyone has begun to fight for stars, fight for investment, star remuneration has risen a lot compared to before, especially a popular artist like Zhou Runfa, there are already small companies called 10 million, although I haven't heard that Zhou Yunfa really got a salary of 10 million, but according to this momentum, I am afraid it will be a matter of time before it breaks 10 million.
Then there is the issue of the release of the movie, and the attitude of the Golden Harvest side is that if Yongsheng is ready to go to the Xinbao Cinema Line, then there is no need to want to get the prime time of the Golden Harvest Line in the future, which is simply forcing Yongsheng Movies to choose a side.
Before Xiang Huasheng accepted Yongsheng Film, he always felt that this company was just more thoughtful to Xiang Huasheng, because after all, Xiang Huaxuan had also opened a film company before, and his time in the film industry was many years earlier than Xiang Huasheng, but after he really took over, he didn't know that his thirteenth brother could make Yongsheng sound and colorful, not only with his heart, but also with his brain, until Xiang Huasheng left, Xiang Huaxuan remembered that his previous Sanhe Film Company had been unknown, far inferior to Yongsheng Movie.
But the word regret won't come out of his mouth, so even if Xiang Watson sat next to him, Xiang Watson just said that the company's efficiency is not very good, not that you just come back.
And Xiang Huasheng was a little disappointed in his heart at this time, although he was in Australia, it was not difficult to understand the situation of Yongsheng Movie, and he also knew the current predicament of his tenth brother, he actually came back to see Xiang Huagan, and he didn't expect Xiang Huasheng to let him continue to talk about Yongsheng, but Xiang Huasheng had an attitude, let him go back to this company, even if it was the vice president, at least let him know that his tenth brother wanted him to come back, and if there was a problem with the company, he could still think of himself.
But after sitting for so long, his tenth brother didn't have the attitude to speak at all.
"Brother Shi, in fact, I came to see you because I had an idea. Xiang Watson said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, holding a cigar in his hand.
Xiang Huaxuan looked at Xiang Huasheng: "What do you think?"
"If it's convenient, I'm ready to swap my shares for cash at the end of the year and take them out. Xiang Watson said to Xiang Huasheng: "I have a logistics business and need cash, and the bank has negotiated, but it will be paid off before March next year, but the income from the logistics company will not be seen until at least a year later, so ......."
Xiang Huaxuan said: "The shares stay in the company, you need cash, I will take it to you from other places." ”
"The logistics company is working with Singapore, and the government is very strict in its investigation, so let's use my shares. Xiang Watson sighed in his heart, but said with the same expression on his face.
