- At the New Art City Film Company in Hong Kong, Tsui Hark, who had just returned to Hong Kong from studying film production in the United States, came in with a handsome young man. 【】The lady at the front desk was about to ask when she saw someone coming in. She looked up and saw that it was Tsui Hark. 旃pancreas is suitable for ! ?
Tsui Hark nodded and walked to the elevator with the young man.
The young man following Tsui Hark was the future Kung Fu Emperor Li Lianjie. He had been really miserable in the past few years, and the movies he made were not very popular. He was seriously ill and almost died the year before last, so he listened to his elders and married his childhood sweetheart. After recovering from the illness, there were no movies to take on, so he and his wife went to the United States to make a living by teaching boxing and performing.
Last year, people from Jiahe found Li Lianjie and made a movie called "Dragon in the End" with Zhou Xingxing and Ye Yuqing. Jiahe had high hopes for this drama, but the director and script were so bad that even his mother didn't recognize it, which disappointed Jiahe and Li Lianjie himself.
It just happened that Tsui Hark was in the United States at the time. After watching Li Lianjie's martial arts performance, he was so excited Forgive me?
At this time, Li Lianjie was a pauper. Last year, he almost borrowed money from Jiahe Company for turnover. Fortunately, he listened to his friends and persuaded him not to borrow, otherwise he would have to be stuck with Jiahe for the rest of his life.
The elevator is rising, and there are Tsui Hark and Li Lianjie inside.
Li Lianjie asked with some worry: "Director Xu, do you think Mr. Wang can really help?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang is easy to talk to." Tsui Hark comforted.
Li Lianjie didn't say anything. He had heard that Wang Zijun was very generous and enthusiastic about helping others, but this time it was different. He signed a ten-year prostitution contract with Jiahe last year. It has only been more than a year now. If he wants to leave Jiahe, Jiahe will definitely open his mouth.
Jiahe is no longer the very tolerant and humane Jiahe it was ten years ago. In recent years, Hong Kong has New Arts City and Taiwan has Wang's Pictures. Both companies have produced great films one after another, but Golden Harvest's films have become increasingly unable to sell at the box office. Even the latecomer Debao Film Company has gradually surpassed Golden Harvest.
Under this situation, the cooperative relationship between Jiahe Company and Wang's Pictures has long since broken down, and Jiahe has become more stringent in its management of its artists, just for fear of being poached.
Li Lianjie’s current manager is David Luo, the son of Luo Wei, the famous director of Shaw Brothers. David Luo is now a member of Golden Harvest. Because Li Lianjie has great box office appeal in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Nanyang, David Luo followed him in the United States and became good friends with Li Lianjie. And became his agent, with the purpose of tying Li Lianjie to death in Jiahe.
Li Lianjie had already regarded David Luo as a good friend. When the other party proposed to sign a ten-year contract, Li Lianjie, who was in trouble, immediately agreed. But now, because the movies he made are not popular, Jiahehe often has a lot of trouble. Are you so anxious that you dare to roast Jia Puao?
Li Lianjie was already so poor in the United States that he could hardly afford to pay his electricity bill. After some discussion with Tsui Hark, he decided to ask Wang Zijun to help him redeem himself. No. When I heard that Wang Zijun came to Hong Kong, did Xu Kexiang express his grief and forgive him?
The secretary led the two of them over. Knocked on the door and said: "Chairman, Director Xu and Mr. Li are here."
"Please come in." Wang Zijun put down the script of "Once Upon a Time" in his hand. This script was sent over by Tsui Hark yesterday. Some details are slightly different from the movie "Once Upon a Time in the Sky".
When the two came in, Wang Zijun stood up and walked towards Tsui Hark with a smile, shook hands and said: "Old Xu, I thought you were going to stay in Hollywood to make movies."
Tsui Hark laughed and said: "Hollywood is not as easy to get along with as Hong Kong. This is Mr. Li Lianjie Li. I think this "Once Upon a Time" must be him. No one else can play that kind of role."
Wang Zijun turned to shake hands with Li Lianjie and said, "Of course I know Mr. Li, a martial arts genius. He created his own Manjiang Red Fist."
"I don't dare to be a martial arts genius." Li Lianjie said modestly.
The three of them sat down and Wang Zijun said: "I read the script. It's very good. There are some areas that could be improved. What, is this drama for New Art City or in the name of your studio?"
"Just Xinyi City." Tsui Hark said. His studio has long ceased to exist in name only, and over the past few years, his grievances with Mecca and others have faded away. Although the Mecca guys are still shareholders and executives of New Art City, Wang Zijun and Zhuge Mao are the ones who can really make the final decision. It won't be too embarrassing to go back to New Art City to film.
Li Lianjie wanted to talk about "redemption", but because he was not familiar with Wang Zijun, he didn't know how to speak, so he hesitated.
Tsui Hark looked embarrassed and said: "Mr. Wang, what's the matter with Wei Tang?"??Dad Huang Fu Pupa Wei Tan Nan Er! ?
"Ten years? How could you sign such a contract?" Wang Zijun asked in surprise. He was not pretending to be surprised. He remembered that Li Lianjie and Jiahe signed a contract, and although they had a tense dispute, they got away after all.
Li Lianjie said dejectedly: "My current manager is David Luo from Jiahe. I regarded him as a good friend at the time, and I happened to be short of money, so I agreed without much thought. But who would have thought that the Jiahe family has a great business, so because of If the movie is not a hit, even the pay will be owed.”
Wang Zijun thought for a while and said: "If Jiahe knew that New Art City was looking for you to make a film, I'm afraid it would be harder to escape. Let me call Boss Zou directly and discuss it with him. I guess it's impossible to let him go directly. How about changing the ten-year contract into a one-year contract, for example, you can make two movies for Jiahe within two years?"
Li Lianjie was overjoyed, nodded quickly and said: "This is good, this is already good."
Seeing Li Lianjie’s expectant look, Wang Zijun said, “Wait a moment.”
In front of the two of them, Wang Zijun dialed twice before getting Zou Wenhuai’s call through, and waited for a few more minutes before Zou Wenhuai’s voice came through.
The two of them talked a lot of nonsense. Li Lianjie sat nearby and listened for several minutes. Seeing that Wang Zijun only went about his daily life with Zou Wenhuai and never talked about serious matters, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Somehow he expected it to be in the movie. Wang Zijun said: "Boss Zou, I just received a script here. I read it and thought it was pretty good."
"Oh, if Mr. Wang says it's good, it must be good," Zou Wenhuai's laughter came over the phone, "Then I'll first wish Mr. Wang a big box office hit."
"No, I really want to cooperate with Boss Zou on this script." Wang Zijun said with a smile.
"I asked why I heard the magpies chirping this morning. It turned out to be Mr. Wang who sent money." Zou Wenhuai joked.
Wang Zijun hid the smile on his face and said sternly: "I promise to sell this film for money. Jiahe will contribute 30% of the investment in the filming. I won't pay a penny from the box office in Hong Kong and Nanyang. What does Boss Zou think?"
As soon as these words came out, Zou Wenhuai started chatting with each other. After all, not every movie can sell money in Japan. . Among these three movie markets, the Nanyang box office accounts for the majority. Wang Zijun directly gave up the Nanyang and Hong Kong box offices, which surprised Zou Wenhuai.
After about ten seconds of silence, Zou Wenhuai asked: "What is the budget of this movie?"
Wang Zijun smiled and said: "The budget is not too high. It has not been made yet, but I estimate it will not exceed 20,000 Hong Kong dollars."
Wang Zijun personally called and inquired about the movie, and the box office in Hong Kong and Nanyang definitely exceeded 20,000. Jiahe only invested 30% of the investment to receive the entire box office in the two places. This is simply giving away money.
However, there is no such thing as pie-in-the-sky good things in this world. Zou Wenhuai didn’t believe that Wang Zijun would respect the elderly and care for the young and give him money, so he immediately asked: "What conditions does Mr. Wang have?"
Wang Zijun said: "I want to be alone."
"Who?" Zou Wenhuai asked.
"Li Lianjie." Wang Zijun said.
"Haha, Mr. Wang is really generous." Zou Wenhuai suddenly laughed. Because of Li Lianjie's personal ability and his box office appeal in Asia, Golden Harvest was planning to package him as the next Bruce Lee, so how could he let him go so easily.
Wang Zijun said: "How about it, Boss Zou, why don't you think about it? If it doesn't work, then I can only find someone else to act."
"Then I'll think about it first." Zou Wenhuai said and hung up.
Wang Zijun put down the phone and said to Li Lianjie with a smile: "Boss Zou will agree. He is a smart man."
Of course Zou Wenhuai would agree. At this time, Jiahe is not prosperous in a parallel space. Although it still maintains the output of nearly two movies every year, except for last year's blockbuster "Ninja Turtles" which was a box office hit, Golden Harvest's other movies in the past two or three years have not been satisfactory at the box office.
Although Li Lianjie is valuable for cultivating, the actual situation is that Li Lianjie seems to be a box-office poison in Asia in recent years, and he almost always rushes to film one film after another. After Jiahe signed him, they filmed a major production for Li Lianjie and it turned out to be unsatisfactory. Jiahe didn't even know how to use Li Lianjie.
Now that Wang Zijun has taken the initiative to take over, with Zou Wenhuai's character, he will definitely bargain and use Li Lianjie in exchange for more benefits, rather than holding him in his hands to mold.
“Dong dong dong…” There was a knock on the door.
Wang Zijun said: "Please come in!"
It was Lizhi who pushed open the door and walked in on high heels. She smiled at Tsui Hark and Li Lianjie and then walked straight towards Wang Zijun.
Li Lianjie was obviously attracted by Lizhi’s beauty.He was shocked and stared at it for a few seconds, then suddenly felt something was wrong and looked away.
Wang Zijun held Lizhi's hand and said, "Don't worry, you two. There will be news within a week. I'll take my leave now."
Tsui Hark said: "Let's go down together."
Li Lianjie followed a few people, glancing at Lizhi's back from time to time. After going downstairs, he left with Tsui Hark still unfinished.
Lizhi is already an international superstar, so she didn’t appear in their romance movie last year. Instead, she replaced Ye Yuqing as the heroine. This was the first time the two met.
Wang Zijun thought that he had done another good deed and avoided the bad reputation of a promising young man for abandoning his useless wife. He was really noble.
