Chapter 51 Ayi, someone wants to see you
Not long after Huang Zhan left, Fatty Wang came in a hurry, with a complicated look on his face.
"Ayi, someone wants to see you!"
Seeing Zhang Yi, Wang Jing said.
Zhang Yi saw Wang Jing's expression, then smiled and said: "Oh, who wants to see me? You actually bothered Director Wang to send a message?"
"Have you met that person? Xiang Huaqiang from Xinyi'an!" Wang Jing said.
When Zhang Yi heard this, he frowned and fell silent. Zhang Yi never thought about getting involved with **, nor did he want to have anything to do with **. But it's not that you don't want to, if someone comes to you, you can't escape.
"The Xiang brothers are going to open a movie business and want to get you to join them!" Wang Jing said.
"Didn't you tell them that I'm not interested in opening a film company?" Without Wang Jing's explanation, Zhang Yi had already guessed it. He didn't expect that because of his little butterfly, the Xiang brothers would open a film company again, ahead of schedule.
Quite a few.
"I told you, that's why they said they want to meet you!" Wang Jing said immediately, "They also want to recruit me into their group."
"You agreed?" Zhang Yi said, "Who are they and why do they open a film company? You know better than me. If you open a film company in partnership with them, you will be able to swallow up even the scum of you."
They will trap you to death."
"Of course I know. So, I also refused!" Wang Jing smiled bitterly and said, "I don't plan to join the team, and I don't plan to open any more film companies. If I open a film company, I can't guarantee that I will make money, but making movies
Regardless of whether the box office is good or bad, I will always get money, it’s just a question of how much. Moreover, I don’t lack movies now!”
"That's fine!" Zhang Yi glanced at Wang Jing and then said, "Then I'll go see them."
That night, Wang Jing took Zhang Yi to a nightclub under Xin Ngee'an and met two brothers, Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng, in a box.
"Mr. Zhang, I didn't expect that when we meet again, you will already be famous in Xiangjiang." Xiang Huaqiang saw Zhang Yi arriving and said with a smile.
"You're welcome, Mr. Xiang! I don't know why Mr. Xiang invited this boy here." Zhang Yi smiled and said straight to the point.
"Haha, I heard from Brother 10 that Mr. Zhang is very good at martial arts. He is a boxer and speaks quickly!" Xiang Huasheng smiled and said, "Then let's get straight to the point. Brother 10 and I are going to open a movie theater.
The company wants to invite Mr. Zhang to join us, what do you think?"
Xiang Huasheng's appearance was not as tough as Xiang Huaqiang's. He wore a pair of glasses and looked very gentle. But from his tone, Zhang Yi could hear a bit of strength, a strength that he could not refuse.
Zhang Yi glanced at Xiang Huasheng, smiled, and said, "Sorry. I'm really not interested in starting a film company, otherwise I wouldn't have rejected the fat man in the first place."
The Xiang brothers glanced at each other, as if they already knew that Zhang Yi would refuse so simply. However, although their faces were still smiling, there was a flash of anger in their eyes.
"Boy, my boss is giving you face, so don't be ungrateful!"
The Xiang brothers didn't speak. A man standing behind them said coldly, with a ferocious look that seemed to swallow Zhang Yi up. Wang Jing was a little scared and worried when he saw this. What do these people on the opposite side do?
He knew it very well.
Zhang Yi gave the man a cold look, then glanced at the Xiang brothers. Seeing that they had no intention of speaking, he looked at the man again and said disdainfully: "I'm talking to your boss, who are you?
You have the right to speak! Didn’t your boss teach you the rules?"
"I think you are looking for death!" When the man heard this, he was furious and was about to step forward to take action.
"Artai! Shut up!" Xiang Huaqiang saw Zhang Yi looking at him indifferently, so he shouted coldly.
"Mr. Zhang is laughing, the people below don't understand the rules!" Xiang Huaqiang said sheepishly.
"Although Mr. Zhang is new to the film industry, his box office appeal is unmatched by anyone in Xiangjiang at this time. It is undoubtedly the right time to open a film company at this time!" Xiang Huasheng said with a smile.
"Haha! If I opened a film company, I'm afraid there would be a lot of film companies that would take advantage of the opportunity to suppress me! But if I don't open one, I think it would be much easier whether it's independent production or cooperation with any film company." Zhang Yi
Smiled and said.
His meaning is very obvious. I run a film company and I suppress a lot of people, so don't ask for trouble.
"So, our cooperation is a good way. We need your appeal in the film industry, and you need our influence in certain aspects." Xiang Huaqiang said immediately.
In some aspects, it goes without saying that as the most powerful association in Xiangjiang, its influence in certain aspects cannot be ignored.
"Do you think I will be afraid of suppression by some small companies?" Zhang Yi smiled and said after hearing this.
When the Xiang brothers heard this, their expressions turned ugly. Naturally, they could understand the meaning of Zhang Yi's words. Small companies don't need you to solve them, and I'm not afraid of them. Big companies can't be solved even if you come forward to solve them. Driven by interests,
Under the circumstances, whether it is Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, or Xinyi City, they will still suppress you if they want, and they will not take your Xin Ngee Ann into account at all.
"Besides, I don't want to open a film company. It's not because I'm afraid of being suppressed by any film company, but because I really have no interest. Making movies is just for fun. I really haven't thought about how to develop in this area!" Zhang Yi continued.
.
Is making a movie just for fun? When the Xiang brothers heard this, they didn’t seem to believe their eyes, but looking at Zhang Yi’s appearance, there was no sign of lying at all. It was just for fun, you played it like this, you called me
How do other people who specialize in film make a living?
I don't dare to be interested. This is the second time Zhang Yi has said it. Maybe, he really doesn't dare to be interested. But, think about it. For Zhang Yi now, it doesn't make any difference whether he can open it or not. After all, he doesn't have a theater chain in his hands.
There is not much difference between a film company and an independent production.
"Oh, I wonder what Mr. Zhang is interested in now?" Xiang Huasheng smiled and asked immediately.
"I want to open a few karaoke parlors, but I don't know how to operate them. Mr. Xiang has a lot of contacts, so I'm wondering if he can introduce me to them. This way, it won't cost me too much energy. Only then will I have time to take pictures.
Let’s play some of your favorite movies. When the time comes to find Mr. Xiang’s film company to cooperate, don’t refuse!” Zhang Yi said.
When the Xiang brothers heard this, their eyes suddenly narrowed. Who were they? Naturally they understood the meaning of Zhang Yi's words. They were negotiating terms!
As for those who don’t know much about business, asking someone to introduce them is naturally a polite comment. It simply means asking Xin Ngee Ann to take care of it. After all, a karaoke hall is also a nightclub. Any nightclub without someone on the street to take care of it will definitely cause chaos.
The Xiang brothers glanced at each other, and it was obvious that they were quite accepting of such conditions. After all, it was easy for Xin Ngee Ann to take care of several nightclubs.
"To open the company, we need a movie to make the company famous, and we need Mr. Zhang's help for this!" Xiang Huasheng said immediately.
Bargaining! However, Zhang Yi was already prepared, and then he glanced at Wang Jing and said: "Some time ago, Fatty wanted to open a film company and asked me for a script. I have already written the script. This guy is probably influenced by me.
, and I don’t want to open it. It’s better to be your company’s first film. Not to mention breaking box office records or anything like that, I can still guarantee a good start.”
"Oh, what script?" Xiang Huasheng asked with some interest.
""God of Gamblers"!" Zhang Yi said calmly, with a burst of confidence in his eyes.
When it comes to Hong Kong movies in the 1980s, "God of Gamblers" is absolutely indispensable. It is also one of the few classic movies of Fatty Wang. It is also another classic created by Fa Ge, Hui Wenqiang, and Xiao Ma.
"Gambling movies?" Xiang Huasheng frowned. The market for gambling movies at this time was indeed not that good. Xiang Huasheng was a little worried that Zhang Yi's Waterloo would happen to him.
"The box office is two thousand short, so the script will be given away for free. If it exceeds twenty million, it will be given according to the market price!" Zhang Yi naturally saw Xiang Huasheng's worry, and then said calmly.
Chapter completed!
