Chapter 529: Script Wholesale
Gu Bei looked at Chen Xunqi who was sitting in front of him, he was lean and had a beautiful mustache, which gave people a very energetic feeling.
The initial impression of Chen Xunqi was that I watched the TV series "Shanghai Tango" starring him in my last life, in which he played a patriotic reporter with a great sense of justice, and the actress who played the role was Zhou Haimei, who was at the peak of her appearance, and was even more beautiful than Zhou Zhiruo in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer".
Belch......
It's time to go on the stage!
"Mr. Gu, why isn't Mr. Tian here?"
Chen Xunqi came here because Tian Zhiyuan called him, but when he arrived at the place, he didn't see Tian Zhiyuan, and Gu Bei in front of him came from the mainland, which made him worry for no reason.
In these years, everything that involves the mainland is extremely sensitive.
He is just an ordinary filmmaker, and he really doesn't want to get involved in those rights and wrongs, especially with ...... Politically relevant.
"Mr. Chen, forgive me for taking the liberty of asking Manager Tian to contact you."
"You're looking for me?"
Chen Xunqi immediately raised his vigilance, he thought he was just an ordinary person, except for movies, he didn't have any other big skills, what could a mainlander suddenly look for him?
"That's right, I'm looking for you!"
"If Mr. Gu has something, you might as well speak up."
Chen Xunqi said, he was ready to refuse, but what to say, this needs to be thought about.
He doesn't want to meddle with right and wrong, but he doesn't want to offend people either.
"That's right, I'm very optimistic about the Xiangjiang Film Market, and recently I am going to cooperate with Mr. Qiu of ATV, as well as Manager Tian of Guanghua, to set up a film company, but now the company is at the helm, I want to invite Mr. Chen to be the home of the new company."
Belch?
Chen Xunqi was stunned when he heard this, looked at Gu Bei, and frowned secretly: "Mr. Gu wants me to do things for you?" ”
"It's not for me to do things, it's that I want to hire a director for the new company to oversee the whole show, just like Mr. Xu of ATV."
Chen Xunqi is even more confused now, although he entered the industry early, but compared with those really famous big stars and directors, he is obviously much worse.
Why would a mainlander in Gu Bei think of inviting him?
Just now, Gu Bei also mentioned Qiu Degen of ATV......
"Mr. Gu, since you have found me, you should have learned about my previous energy, I also had a company, but ...... It's unfortunate that I went out of business, I'm such a failure, it's hard to imagine what is worth bothering you so much. ”33
Gu Bei smiled when he heard this: "Mr. Chen doesn't need to be arrogant, it's not a big deal if he fails, not to mention that Yongjia's collapse was not due to poor management, there are many reasons for this." ”
"Mr. Gu is right, since he knows that there are many reasons for Yongjia's collapse, why does Mr. Gu still invest in movies in Xiangjiang? I believe that before you make the decision to invest, you should have understood the market environment here, it is very complicated, I am a local, and it is difficult to protect myself, even if Mr. Gu is a dragon, he may not be able to fight the snake, if it is just because of Mr. Qiu's participation, with all due respect, I am not optimistic about the future of this company. ”
The market in Xiangjiang is very small, no matter how prosperous it is, it is already very small, which is determined by innate conditions, and there is no way to change it.
Such a small market has been crowded in with too many participants, not to mention giants like Golden Harvest, as well as old companies such as Xinyicheng and Debao.
If a new company comes in, I am afraid that from the day it was established, it will become a thorn in the side of all companies.
Qiu Degen is indeed very famous and powerful, but the rules of the film industry cannot be changed by fame and money.
"Since I decided to invest, I naturally understand the market environment, but ...... I'm confident. ”
Chen Xunqi smiled helplessly: "Confidence? I was the same back then, I thought that as long as I was willing to work hard and had good works, I could gain a foothold here, but now? It's good that Mr. Gu has confidence, but ...... Mr. Qiu's support alone is far from enough. ”
"Of course, my self-confidence was not given by Mr. Qiu."
"Then it's ......"
"Production, distribution, theaters, is this enough?"
Make it yourself, distribute it yourself, and have theaters for release, so you don't need to look at other people's faces at all.
When Chen Xunqi heard this, he remembered that he had indeed ignored a point just now, since Tian Zhiyuan of Guanghua Cinema helped Gu Bei contact him, and both of them had mainland backgrounds, they must be on Gu Bei's side.
"Guanghua is still a little smaller after all."
"What if you add Shaw?"
What?
Chen Xunqi was stunned when he heard this, and it took a long time to come back to his senses: "Shaw Brothers? The sixth uncle was also involved? ”
How is this possible?
TVB and ATV are competitive and mortal enemies, and they hate each other and can't strangle each other.
How could Shao Laoliu cooperate with Qiu Degen.
"Of course not, the relationship between Mr. Shao and Mr. Qiu...... Mr. Chan is a local and should know better than me. ”
Chen Xunqi looked at Gu Bei and did not answer, but waited for Gu Bei's next words.
"I mean...... I'm ready to buy Shaw Brothers' cinema chain. ”
Hehe!
Chen Xunqi smiled, if it is possible for Shao Laoliu and Qiu Degen to cooperate, Gu Bei said that he wanted to acquire Shaw Brothers Cinemas, it would be simply a fantasy.
Although the Shaw Brothers have basically been discontinued, Shao Lao Liu's attention to the signboard of the Shaw Brothers, who doesn't know the Xiangjiang filmmakers!
Shaw Brothers, this is the golden sign that Shao Lao Liu and his brothers worked hard together.
No matter how much the Shaw Brothers decline, Shao Lao Liu will never give away this signboard.
As long as the theater chain is still there, Shaw Brothers may re-emerge at any time.
It wasn't that Debao's Pan Disheng didn't think about buying it directly, but Shao Laoliu's attitude was very resolute, and he only rented and didn't sell.
Gu Bei is actually going to buy Shaw Brothers Cinemas now, how is that possible.
"Mr. Chen doesn't believe it?"
Chen Xunqi smiled: "Of course not, it's just ...... It's hard. ”
Gu Bei nodded: "It's really not easy, but it's man-made." ”
That's it?
Or let's make a bet, if I buy Shaw Brothers Cinemas, you will work for me, if you don't do it......
!
It's a fart bet, although Chen Xunqi is a talent that Gu Bei fancies, he has not yet reached the point where he can make Gu Bei desperate.
"Mr. Chen, would you like to hear my conditions?"
Belch?
Just now I was talking about the acquisition of Shaw Brothers Cinemas, but now what conditions are I going to say?
Chen Xunqi was already thinking about how to refuse, but when he heard Gu Bei say this, he was still a little curious about what kind of conditions Gu Bei could offer him.
"Of course!"
"Part of the equity of the new company, of course, the specific details of the cooperation between the three of us have not yet been finalized, and it is not certain how much we can give you, but I can guarantee that it will not be less than 2%."
2%?
Speaking of which, this number is not small, after all, Gu Bei said that if he wants to acquire the Shaw Brothers' theater chain, it will be counted in the name of the new company at that time, and this 2% is enough to make people excited.
Merely......
Chen Xunqi didn't take it seriously.
Gu Bei himself said that he hadn't even negotiated the details of the cooperation, and the new company was completely out of nowhere.
"In addition, everything in the company is entrusted to you to be responsible, and the three of us are not involved in specific management."
This one is appealing.
Next, Gu Bei said several more in a row, and when he was about to continue, he was stopped by Chen Xunqi in time.
"Mr. Gu, I admit that you are indeed very sincere, but ...... So, let's not discuss whether you can successfully acquire Shaw Brothers' theatrical chain for the time being, let's talk about other aspects, such as the most specific movies. ”
Chen Xunqi is not optimistic about Gu Bei, mainly because, can a mainlander understand the preferences of the audience in Xiangjiang?
As a film company, as long as a work fails to succeed, there is basically no future.
What's more, they have to face the doomed suppression from large companies such as Golden Harvest, New Art City, and Debao.
How did Yongjia fall?
It's not because of Golden Harvest's kung fu comedy.
Then when Yongjia launched a new work, Jiahe released a new movie starring Cheng Long at the same time, and in the same schedule, the amount of filming still pressed Yongjia's works, so it's no wonder if you don't lose.
Chen Xunqi's worries were naturally very reasonable, and Gu Bei also expected that he would definitely face such a predicament.
But who made him born again?
"Mr. Chen, you might as well take a look at this first."
After Gu Bei finished speaking, Liu Qiangdong, who was sitting on the side, immediately took out the things that had been prepared a long time ago.
A thick stack of scripts.
Since Zhang Yimou's introduction to Xiangjiang was stopped, Gu Beisheng had the idea of planting a flag here, and he began to prepare.
Who said that Gu Bei didn't do anything all day, so he knew how to hang out?
He copied these scripts one by one.
"It's ......"
Chen Xunqi looked at the large stack of paper, half a meter high, he guessed that this might be a script, but what kind of story needs to write such a thick script?
Gu Bei smiled and made a "please" gesture to Chen Xunqi.
Chen Xunqi hesitated for a long time, but he still couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, and reached out to pick up the top one.
"Crazy boy? Gang-themed? ”
As he spoke, he opened the script, and it was the actor Chen Haonan who was ordered to eliminate the leader of the rival gang.
put down this one, and picked up the following again, it's still "Crazy Boy", and then look back, it's the same.
"Is this a series?"
At this time, there is not even a shadow of the comics, Gu Bei's script is definitely original.
Below, "Infernal Affairs", "Ip Man" series, "Kung Fu Football", ......
Chen Xunqi counted 20 scripts.
Where is this surnamed Gu here to invest, it is clear that he is here to wholesale scripts.
He didn't read it carefully, and he didn't know the quality of the script, but one thing was certain, Gu Bei's code speed was quite fast, just look at these manuscripts, it looks like the old and new are about the same, and they were obviously completed at the same time.
"Mr. Gu, these scripts ......"
"Mr. Chen can take it back and read it, I think with these scripts, the company should not have a problem gaining a foothold in Xiangjiang, of course, the prerequisite is to win the Shaw Brothers Cinemas, this matter, Mr. Chen can wait and see."
Some people died, but not completely......
