Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Unlike the tycoon, Boss Zou is more generous to his subordinates, but he is really cruel to the company he cooperates with.

The Xu brothers and Sammo Hung made countless blockbuster films for Golden Harvest, but the last one was too poor to make a film, and the other was too poor to eat. Part of the reason was because of Golden Harvest’s method of dividends in overseas markets, not only did they not have a penny Here, let the two owe a debt.

Later, the Xu brothers, Sammo Hung and Golden Harvest parted ways because of conflicts over overseas dividends.

In the Xiangjiang market alone, it is not bad for ordinary films to keep their capital. The real money is overseas dividends.

However, the two big butlers of Golden Harvest were really ugly, and the angry Xu brothers and Sammo Hung had no choice but to leave.

The reason why Brother Long in the later generations is so successful is mainly because of the high salary. He rarely cares about overseas dividends.

With the lessons learned from the past, Brother Long is not stupid, the more popular the movie is, the higher the remuneration will be.

Brother Long's salary was high, followed by the salary of the entire Xiangjiang star artists, and also increased accordingly.

The crabs grew bigger and bigger, but the steamer did not grow. This is also one of the reasons why the later Xiangjiang movies were lonely.

Chapter 409 Boss Zou's Abacus

"Leave that aside, what do you think of the script?"

He Yuchang smiled wryly: "If Wu Yusen hadn't said that the script was written in front of him by that great talent, I would have thought it was Aaron who wrote it."

After Wu Yusen finished reading Yang Chen's script, he made a copy of the script and brought it here.

Police Story, in the previous life, was tailor-made by Brother Long for himself. As the second butler of Golden Harvest, no one knows better than him which type of movie Cheng Long is most suitable for.

To be honest, if this script wasn't written by Yang Chen, He Yuchang would have the urge to grab it directly.

"According to Wu Yusen, that talented man wants to use this movie to promote his new game console.

If this script is filmed well, with the current fame of that great talent, he will indeed be able to break into Hollywood. "

"I think I can give it a try and see if there is a chance to cooperate with ATV and invest in this movie. After all, the real starring role of the movie is Aaron."

Boss Zou frowned when he heard this, it's not that he disagreed with He Yuchang's opinion.

It's just that Huang Xizhao, the general manager of ATV, personally called him and explained in detail that this movie will only be filmed by Yang Chen's sole proprietorship. Even ATV only provided some equipment and actors, and didn't get involved with it.

They don't even have a share in ATV, can they get involved?

Another one, the other party said that there is no upper limit to the budget, and if they get involved at that time, they will have to post a sum of money first. Everyone has seen Yang Chen's ability in music and business.

But for the movies, if it's a script, this new police story is really good, but only good.

After thinking about it, Boss Zou shook his head and said, "This movie doesn't even get involved with ATV, so let's forget about it."

"Next, we might as well continue with this movie, establish a good relationship with that person, and see if there is any opportunity to cooperate with ATV. The TV series is also a big piece of fat.

Now that Princess Jin has taken the lead, I heard that Boss Qiu from the Far East has also invested in several TV dramas recently shot by ATV, and specially set up a film and television company for this purpose. "

"Now that the film market is getting hotter and hotter, Princess Jin jumped out first, and I don't know how many people will come in with envy and get a share of the action.

Eggs cannot be put in the same basket, since ATV has opened up, we have no reason to miss this opportunity. "

Ten years ago, after the Shaw Brothers dominated the film industry, the tycoon's eyes shifted to the TV industry.

Boss Zou didn't pay much attention to the TV industry at the beginning. In his opinion, the film industry still has a lot of room for development. Shaw Brothers' influence is limited to Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, Japan, Europe and the United States. A desert.

When a tycoon invests in TV stations, the funds for movies will naturally decrease accordingly. With the funds reduced, how can they enter the Japanese and American markets?

It's a pity that the boss didn't listen at first, thinking that the TV industry will become more and more popular with the economic development in the future.

Facts have proved that the vision of the tycoon is correct. As Hong Kong's economy is getting better and better, people's living standards have risen sharply, and many people have installed televisions in their homes.

Unlike film companies who only need to spend some money to get a license to make movies, the TV industry is not something that anyone can enter if they want to.

There are only a few TV companies in Xiangjiang. Except for the two free TV stations of TVB and ATV, the rest of the TV stations charge fees.

Leaving aside the fees, except for some rich people who can install it in their homes, ordinary people only watch two TV stations at home, TVB and ATV.

Hongkong TV industry is divided between ATV and TVB. The TV station's annual profit is no less than that of the film industry through takeaway TV series and advertising fees.

In the past, everyone could only think about this piece of fat, but they didn't get involved at all.

Now that ATV has opened the door, if you don't join in quickly and occupy a position, you may not have a chance in the future.

Golden Harvest now has a big business, and the monthly staff expenses are a lot of money. Now that they want to open up the Hollywood market, spending money is like water.

To increase income and reduce expenditure, apart from tightening the belt and saving money, the other is to increase the source of income. Film and television, film and television are not separated. If ATV is really willing to let Jiahe in to get a share of the pie, then it will only be good for Jiahe , no harm.

Of course, entering the TV industry is not without risks. Once the ratings are not good and it is taken off the shelves at that time, it will lose a lot of money.

Self-responsible for profit and loss, ATV's idea, let alone Boss Zou, Princess Jin's Lei Daheng and Boss Qiu can also understand it.

However, to understand is to understand, but anyone who has the opportunity wants to enter and give it a try.

"Then I'll go to Aaron tomorrow and ask him to take over the show, so I can talk to ATV about it then."

"Press, I'll leave this to you. This movie is really suitable for Aaron, and the starring role is also Aaron. Once this movie becomes popular, it will be tantamount to promoting Aaron for free. At that time, we can let Aaron make a series. "

When He Yuchang heard the words, his eyes lit up immediately.

In the Xiangjiang film market, the most popular thing is to make series. As long as a movie becomes popular, a lot of similar movies will come out in a short time, until this type of movie is completely rotten.

This is the case not only in Xiangjiang, but also in the whole world, even in Hollywood.

Of course, there is no way to follow the trend of high-cost movies like the big ship, but other drama movies, such as horror movies, comedies, etc., are less costly, and Hollywood film companies follow the trend very quickly. slip.

"Remember to have a good talk with Aaron. It's fine if we don't shoot. Now that we accept it, we must do our best to tell him not to embarrass Jiahe."

"I'll tell him. I'll call him later. He must not be asleep at this time. I don't know where to go."

As for his godson, he knows best. Among the Seven Little Fortunes, besides Sammo Hung, he is the hottest one.

"By the way, remind Aaron to be safe. There are a lot of action scenes in this movie, and there are even more thrilling scenes."

Speaking of this, Boss Zou suddenly paused, and then smiled: "Young people are young people, and the courage alone is not comparable to those of us old guys."

He Yuchang was at a loss when he heard it, and then suddenly realized that the thrilling scenes of Yang Chen's character in the script were no less than Cheng Long's.

If Cheng Long is an actor, it is understandable to make dangerous moves for filming, but which one did Yang Chen play?

Are young people nowadays willing to risk their lives for money?

He didn't understand what the other party was thinking. If it wasn't for the fact that the script was written by the other party himself, he would have wondered if someone wanted to make trouble and came up with such a movie script.
