Chapter 40 Movie Emperor

Clearwater Bay.

Shao Clan Building, Office of the President.

"Mr. Zhang is really a distinguished guest. It's rare, really rare to come and sit down at Shao Clan Films when you have time." Zhou Runfa moved a chair and sat next to him. Zhang Guobin and Zhu Baoyi sat together On the guest sofa, Shao Yifu put down the pen, walked around the desk, made tea in front of the main seat, raised his head and fiddled with the tea set, said slowly and in a refined in manner.

"Uncle Six is too famous. You are a senior in the film industry. Compared with you, you are just a junior." Zhang Guobin didn't change his face, and let Shao Yifu's words contain a gun and a stick. said humbly.

"Hehe, as soon as "The True Color of Heroes" debuts, you will no longer be a junior in the film industry, but a big shot in the film industry!" Shao Yifu was arrogant, and his words still carried offensive generals. Said: "I don't know if Mr. Zhang asked me to chat today. Is there anything you want to advise?"

Zhang Guobin can understand Shao Yifu's attitude. Competition in the same period affects the box office

The most important thing is that it affects the company's actor signing strategy. He must be more angry than Shao Yifu.

But it doesn't matter.

Let's chat and talk about business...

Everyone is a family.

It's not too late to talk about it!

Zhang Guobin took a cup of Pu-erh tea handed by Shao Yifu, lowered his head and took a sip, exclaiming: "Mr. Shao, good tea!"

"You are my senior, I have something to say. Just to tell you the truth, don't make people laugh."

"The new film of DreamWorks under my name wants to be shown in Shao Clan theaters."

"You are good enough. You dig my people to act. After filming, you will come to me to ask for canvases. Please invite people from Jiahe to film. After filming, you dare to come to Shao Clan to have tea with me."

"Jiahe and Shao Clan dance on both sides, you're the one who's on the other side? I think everyone agrees with you, seeing you dance every day!" Shao Yifu suddenly frowned, put down the teacup heavily, and shouted: "The young son doesn't know the Immensity of Heaven and Earth! When a film is brilliant, consider yourself a movie boss!"

At this time, Mr. Shao was not a pure and good gentleman who built a building for the university every day. When a big guy is young, he is very personal. If he disagrees with each other, he may cast aside all considerations for face. Think through.

What's more, Mr. Shao was born in a Nanyang Chinese family. He went south to Hong Kong to work hard for his career.

Zhou Runfa saw that Mr. Shao, who was rarely angry with his subordinates, suddenly became hot, and the popular male star rarely showed a trace of panic, and hurriedly put down the teacup and explained to Zhang Guobin: "Sixth uncle, Mr. Zhang does not mean this. ."

"Shut up!" Shao Yifu said.

Zhou Runfa was immediately silenced.

Zhu Baoyi held Zhang Guobin's arm tightly, but Zhang Guobin giggled, finished drinking the tea confidently, crossed Erlang's legs, put his wrists on his knees and played with the teacup, and said firmly: " You can't count as a movie boss! The movie emperor is really interested!"

"Younger, arrogant!" Mr. Shao said contemptuously.

Don't look at Zhang Guobin's company's production of "The True Color of Heroes", which seems to be very popular and promising, but Shao Yifu has the Shao Clan cinema chain in his hands, so what if the film company is outdated? It controls the lifeline of many film companies as well, and the fishing is still prosperous.

What's more, Shao Clan Brother Film Factory has been dominant in Hong Kong since the 1970s. The Chinese Kung Fu films created overseas have become famous overseas, and they have also cultivated a number of superstars. A small company, let’s go out, how many stars in Xiangjiang dare to shoot with Zhang Guobin?

The rotten ship still has three pounds of nails. The ship hasn't sunk today, so the owner's words are of course grand!

Zhang Guobin, however, also has his own confidence. He is not afraid of Shao Yifu at all, and he put down the teacup and said, "I called you Sixth Uncle to respect you, and I asked you to meet because I wanted to have money together. If the sixth uncle refuses to agree, Bao, let's go."

Zhang Guobin took Zhu Baoyi and planned to get up.

"Seven percent of the box office. Like Zou Huaiwen, I will paint at night! No problem!" Shao Yifu blurted out.

Zhang Guobin just got off the sofa, then leaned down to sit again, showing his face and said with a smile: "many thanks, Uncle Six."

Two smart people should fight when they talk. When it’s time to hit the front, it’s time to be straight. Zhang Guobin knows that Shao Yifu should be a little unhappy with himself, but that doesn’t mean that he can’t make money together. After Shao Yifu agreed to cooperate with Zhang Guobin, he put forward another condition, That is, Zhou Runfa wants to renew his contract with Shao Clan brother.

With the current situation of Zhou Runfa's "Shanghai Bund" and "The True Color of Heroes", Shao Clan needs to sign Zhou Runfa at a high cost. Jiahe, Xinyicheng, and almost all film companies want to follow Zhou Runfa cooperated, but Shao Clan brother has the most initiative, because there is still one year left in the contract with Zhou Runfa. If Zhou Runfa is frozen within a year, Ah Fa will lose a lot.

This point is not so much unsatisfied, but it is better to take advantage of the situation and hit the snake to three inches. Neither Zhou Runfa nor Zhang Guobin could refuse Shao Yifu, but fortunately Shao Yifu offered the contract renewal conditions. It is much higher than that. Although the time is as long as five years, the terms of starring in two major productions in one year are enough to satisfy Zhou Runfa.

Shao Clan also showed his attitude.

However, Zhou Runfa asked Shao Clan to add an additional clause to appear in a movie produced by "Global DreamWorks".

This request made Shao Yifu even more dissatisfied. Zhang Guobin sat next to him, but he was deeply moved. He directly put his arms around Zhou Runfa's shoulders. If Shao Clan wanted to turn his face, he would definitely support Afa to the end.

"Mr. Zhang, I don't know what means you used to ask Fazai to act, but your way of winning people's hearts is really good." Shao Yifu reluctantly agreed to increase the terms. After Zhou Runfa signed the contract, he looked towards Zhang Guobin.

Zhang Guobin shook his head: "You don't understand."

Shao Yifu really doesn't understand!

He couldn't have imagined that Zhang Guobin was the guy who sent his younger brother's script to pack a gun.

Zhang Guobin can not only use the script to wrap the gun, but also invite his brothers upstairs to sit down and chat with Shao Yifu. Although he didn't do this, even though Shao Yifu's background is very deep, but young people will not do anything other than fighting for their lives. Faced with ruthless, you must surprise you!

In the evening of the same day, "The True Color of Heroes" was screened in 97 Shao Clan cinemas in Hong Kong, and late at night, "The True Color of Heroes" was shown on the Golden Princess Cinema, and the three major theaters in Hong Kong were painted at the same time, except for left-wing movies. In addition to the fact that the Shuangnan Cinema Line is not painted, the posters of "The True Color of Heroes" can be seen at the entrance of almost all cinemas in Hong Kong.

Zhang Guobin has a patriotic heart, but he has a club background, and he has no face to ask Shuangnan Cinema to go to a DreamWorks movie.

Now, the Shuangnan Cinema will not feature "crime films" similar to "The True Color of Heroes" at all, and the domestic film review is extremely strict, and the introduction system has not yet been opened. As the mainland's propaganda station in Hong Kong, The red background of the Shuangnan Cinema is very deep, and the film directors and producers who have not been stamped seriously by the mainland are impossible to show.
