    There was a double knock on the door.  "Please come in!" Ye Zhiming opened the door and walked in.  "Chu Zai, how's the negotiation going with the American company?" "The negotiation was good. The crisis has already confirmed the introduction. We will share 30% of the box office and the publicity expenses equally." Li Xuechu smiled and said: "Zhiming, the North American market is now considered open.  "This result is not bad. I hope things will go smoothly." "The market will only truly open up if it succeeds at the box office. There have been several Golden Harvest films in North America, but unfortunately they have not been able to gain a foothold due to poor box office performance."  heel.  This year Golden Harvest will try again, using hurricane rescue in cooperation with Oriental Hollywood.  Jiahe really used all his strength to support Chen Long. He lifted his hands and shoulders and never let up for more than ten years.  ¡°That¡¯s good, the company is slowly getting on the right track so far.¡± Ye Zhiming sighed.  "The two major markets have been won, and the last big ticket position is Japan, but I think it will only happen in a year or two." "That should be the case." Li Xuechu was also interested in this  I quite agree. Asian markets are actually quite exclusive. Xiangjiang itself is no exception, and the same is true for Japan.  Japanese movies had a prosperous period more than ten years ago, exporting their own movies to all Asia, but now it has been replaced by Hong Kong.  As a former film hegemon, the Japanese film industry may feel very unhappy in their hearts, but now there is no better way besides resisting competitors from entering the country.  Currently, only Golden Harvest can successfully bring movies into the Japanese market.  "Zhiming, don't you think about it again? You have also seen the company's prospects, and they will only get better and better in the future. Don't you feel it is a pity to give up at this time?"  Ye Zhiming hesitated.  Still shook his head.  Li Xuechu couldn¡¯t say anything else. The company was on the rise.  It is kind of people to let go at this time, which is much better than doing nothing now and just waiting to pick the fruits later.  In terms of profit, I actually did not suffer a loss. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Giving up the hope of persuading his friend to change his mind, Li Xuechu handed over two scripts.  "Is this your new work?" "Yes, Zhiming, help me contact you to operate it." "It doesn't matter, but Chuzai, don't you plan to operate it yourself? After all, this is not a troublesome matter. I will be in the future  If you want to leave, you will have to let go of all matters sooner or later. " "Even if you leave, I don't plan to manage it myself. I will still find someone else." Ye Zhiming shook his head: "This is the most enjoyable thing about working with you, but you know how to delegate.  Be careful, the business circles in Xiangjiang are not as disciplined as you think, and they are not the same as those in the West." "Thank you, I will pay attention." Li Xuechu actually believes in the system more than he trusts people, and it is also because of this.  It further shows the value of Ye Zhiming.  After changing people, Li Xuechu had to look at this with an extra pair of eyes. Just looking at the finances was not safe. There were many "skilled" managers who found ways to avoid and confuse people in this area.  Even pulling them together to dig into the company's assets.  Under Ye Zhiming¡¯s persuasion, Li Xuechu withdrew the script.  They're right, at least until a replacement comes in.  It's better to do it yourself.  After Ye Zhiming left, Li Xuechu picked up the phone and dialed Fatty Wang¡¯s number.  "Chu Zai. Why did you think of calling me?" "You can't call me if you have nothing to do?" "Don't come here." After the last meeting in the hotel, Fatty is still worried about it.  "Okay. Something happened. Do you know the phone number of the director who filmed Mountain Dog two years ago?"  "What? Your company wants to make a horror movie?" Fatty Wang asked in surprise.  "If possible, I would like to shoot all types. How about it? Do you have one?" "That person's name is Yu Yunhang. I just know him and am not very familiar with him. I don't have his phone number, but I can help you.  Ask." "Okay, as soon as possible." "Okay, wait for my good news." When the fat man hung up, Li Xuechu didn't hang up, but called another set of numbers.  "Hello?" "Sister Xu, this is Li Xuechu." "Haha, I heard it." Xu Anhua on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "Boss Li, please call me at this time. Do you have any good news for me?"  "There is a movie that I want you to shoot, Sister Xu. Sister Xu, this?Are you free?  ". "Yes, the last movie has just been shot, and now I am looking for new themes.  Husband Li, did you write the script this time?  ". "The outline and general plot have been written, and they still need to be handed over to the writing team for polishing, but I think Sister Xu you can take a look first.  " "Okay, are you in the company?  I'll come right away?  " There was a blind tone on the phone, and Xu Anhua hung up the phone. Li Xuechu smiled and shook his head. This female director is a well-known workaholic. She has filmed several works non-stop in the past two years. This time she just finished filming.  Not long after joining the Angry Sea, I had to rush to work again without even taking a break. Fortunately, this saved me from looking for others. In the past two years, there have been many new directors in the new wave of Hong Kong film circles.  In a few years, it will either decline or become a model of commercial film, and its characteristics will disappear. In later generations, Xu Anhua is almost the only director who has emerged from the new wave.  A local director who specializes in cult films stopped making movies ten years later. There was no other way. Xiangjiang, a small city with a small population, could not give many opportunities to directors with niche themes. He would face layoffs after making only one or two films.  "  The Notebook?  "Xu Anhua frowned slightly, seeming to be dissatisfied with this movie title. Although she is a female director, Xu Anhua's film style is not as graceful as that of ordinary female directors. Without the director's name, many of her works are difficult to watch just by watching the movie.  It can be seen that it was filmed by a woman. ¡°Haha, let¡¯s read the script first.  "This name can easily make people misunderstand that it is a Qiong Yao-style movie. Taiwan has been shooting a lot of this type of movie in recent years. However, this type of movie is popular in Taiwan, but it is not very popular in Hong Kong. Li Xuechu's first choice is actually for future generations.  Zhang Wanting, who filmed A Lang's Story, is a female director who hasn't graduated yet. I remember her graduation film wasn't released until 1984. Xu Anhua concentrated on reading the script, and her brows slowly relaxed as she read it.  Come on. "It's a good story.  "After a long time, Xu Anhua put down the script and said. "This story spans a lot of time and space. Although it's not a big problem to shoot in Xiangjiang, I still hope to shoot in the Magic City, so that it looks more realistic.  "Xu Anhua also nodded in agreement. Unlike others, Xu Anhua did not avoid the north like some directors. "Adapted into the Eastern version of this movie, Li Xuechu placed the main scene in the magical capital before the Anti-Japanese War, and then moved there  When I arrived in Xiangjiang, I avoided political factors. If possible, Li Xuechu also wanted to have this film screened in China. ¡°The script is good, so I took it.  When do you plan to release this movie?  ¡° ¡°Of course it¡¯s most appropriate for a love-themed movie to be shown on Valentine¡¯s Day.  Li Xuechu said with a smile: "It's August now, and it's still half a year before Valentine's Day. It should be in time, right?"  Xu Anhua lowered his head and made an estimate: "I'm running out of time. I'll try my best. As long as nothing happens, I'll still be in time."  " Li Xuechu smiled bitterly. If he were a fat man, he would be able to shoot three movies in half a year, and he would be sure to make it in time. However, it is good that the good movies selected by later generations would be a waste of resources if they were badly made. Although the original works cannot be seen by today's people, Li Xuechu  I still feel a little sorry. "Try to hurry up, Sister Xu. Our company doesn't have many works. If you don't find something to do, you will be idle."  " "Then don't you, the boss, make more movies?  You don¡¯t have to write it yourself. You can also buy other people¡¯s scripts and film them. It seems that your company has only filmed scripts written by you yourself.  "Xu Anhua feels a little strange about this. This company that has become famous in Hong Kong is really quite different. "You can consider it. Sister Xu, if you have any good scripts, you can invest in them. Our cooperation time is not short.  I will consider giving you a preferential price.  " "Thank you, I will definitely have a chance in the future.  "Xu Anhua, who likes to shoot literary and artistic themes, is still in need of investment. How could he not be happy to have such a big sponsor take the initiative to bring it up. "Okay, that's it, it's settled, happy cooperation!  " "Happy cooperation!  " After finishing one of the two movies, the rest will be easy to handle. "Yu Yunhang's life during this period may not be easy, or it may be said that life is not easy for new wave directors, and Xu Anhua is the one who is doing the best.He was asked to direct it, and the script is not bad, so I guess there won't be any problems.  (To be continued)
