Chapter 305 An Invitation
Scholar Pictures is a Taiwanese film company that has been established for more than three years and has film production and distribution.
But don’t ignore the scholars’ founding time. Since scholars bought Xu Anhua’s “Crashing into the King” and made their first pot of gold, they have developed rapidly. In just three years, scholars have grown rapidly and have combed a large number of theaters in Taipei and Taichung. Now they are vaguely as if they are the boss of a private film business in Taiwan.
More importantly, because scholars have grown later than Shaw Brothers, Jiahe and Princess Jin, it has not yet been connected with these three Hong Kong theaters. The Scholar Pictures, which later took the lead, has long been determined to engage in the Hong Kong film market.
A large amount of Taiwanese funds poured into the Hong Kong film market in later generations, which led to the golden decade of Hong Kong, and also created a large number of bad movies. Don’t think that the golden decade of Hong Kong films started in the mid-1980s, and that Taiwanese funds poured into Hong Kong at this time. As early as the late 1970s, when there was no scholar company at that time, Cai Songlin, the big boss of scholars, supported Deng Guangrong back to Hong Kong to open a Darong Film Company.
Now Li Xuan and the scholars have actually hit the bridge at the first time, which is also a good thing for him.
"Ha, this is a good thing." Li Xuan smiled and said, "Let Guoxin discuss the specific cooperation intentions as soon as possible, but let him pay attention. No matter how big the other party is, we cannot suffer any loss."
Xian Qiqi smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Cai Songlin is very generous. Do you know what the Taiwan buyout price of "The Ghostly Flying Man" is?"
"How many?" Li Xuan asked curiously.
Buyout is a common way to release movies, which is to package and sell the filmed movies and copyrights to other film manufacturers or distributors. No matter how profits the movie will be released in theaters in the future, it has nothing to do with the producer.
For example, many of Hong Jingbao's movies are packaged and sold directly to Jiahe. Zou Wenhuai, who is loyal, gives Hong Jingbao a satisfactory price every time.
The advantage of this way of distributing movies is that they pay back quickly, and the danger of box office is transferred to theaters, which allows the producer to make their own movies more stable. However, the disadvantages are obvious. If a movie that the producer is not optimistic about is sold at a low price and the actual box office is very popular, the producer will lose a lot.
However, those blockbusters with quality assurance and celebrity assurance are definitely not among the buyouts.
"3 million..." Xian Qiqi said quietly.
Li Xuan opened his mouth slightly, and finally asked unconfidently: "Hong Kong dollar?"
"Um!"
"Hiss--" Li Xuan took a deep breath and asked with a frown, "Is this too much?"
Xian Qi nodded and replied: "This price is not only the copyright of the Taiwanese film screening of "The Ghostly Horse" but also the copyright of its Taiwanese video tape distribution."
“…”
Li Xuan touched his chin and said in confusion: "This is a bit too much. The copyright of the Taiwanese movie and videotape of "The Ghostly Man" can be as much as 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars."
"Since the two companies have to cooperate for a long time, the scholars have suffered a heavy bleeding this time, probably to prepare for better cooperation in the future." Xian Qi said swayingly.
"That's true." Li Xuan nodded and suddenly laughed: "I heard that Cai Songlin has a good relationship with Xin Yian?"
Xian Qiqi nodded and said, "Well, there is such a rumor, especially the two big guys who play movies in the Xiang family. They seem to have a good relationship with him. A person like Cai Songlin who started from scratch in Taiwan, who would not have enough relations between Hong Kong and Taiwan and could not have opened such a big company, otherwise he would have been swallowed up long ago."
"Ha, then this time I go to Taiwan to participate in the Golden Horse Awards, you must meet Cai Songlin." Li Xuan said with a smile.
Xian Qiqi shook her head, stood up and said, "This must be known. OK, you can continue to do your business, I'm out."
"Yeah!" Li Xuan nodded and suddenly looked up and said, "By the way, Qi Yu, when Guo Xin comes back from Taiwan, you will quickly set up the distribution department. I think this kid is not bad and has a strong sense of excitement."
"Haha, that's natural, I finally got a...
"Dongdongdongdong--"
Before Xian Qiqi finished speaking, she was interrupted by a knock on the door. Li Xuan had no choice but to smile helplessly and shout "Please come in". Then there was a slight "click" sound, and Li Li, who had been promoted to front desk secretary, walked in with a red invitation.
"Xiaoli, what's wrong?"
Li Li looked at Li Xuan and the others, handed over the red invitation and said, "Mr. Li, Mr. Xian, this is just sent by someone, I think you should take a look."
"What?"
Li Xuan took the invitation in confusion and opened it, then opened his mouth slightly in surprise. Xian Qiqi was also puzzled when he looked at Li Xuan's expression. When he walked to Li Xuan, he looked at the invitation and was stunned.
Another film company in Hong Kong is about to be established, and the company it has established is Debao!
This was Xian Qiqi's first thought, and then the second thought suddenly emerged with the names named Xu Ke and Hong Jingbao he saw.
Now Xinyi City is in big trouble!
You should know that this time, Xinyi City is not only missing a director like Xu Ke, but what is even more troublesome is that Xu Ke's smart and capable wife Shi Nansheng. This female butler of Xinyi City must also marry her husband and follow her dog. Xu Ke has now left Xinyi City, so why does Shi Nansheng not leave?
The development and growth of Xinyi City is half the credit of Shi Nansheng, an internal affairs expert. Now that she leaves, she is afraid that Xinyi City will be in chaos for a long time.
Xian Qiqi thought of the chaos in Xinyi City, and Li Xuan felt that the wings of his butterfly were getting stronger and stronger. He dared to promise and even swear to the sky that Xu Ke had never been to Debao in later generations, and his own studio was open well.
But now...
Xian Qi was right in guessing. With Shi Nansheng's departure, Xinyi City was indeed in chaos. Fortunately, they only opened two dramas in the second half of the year, the company was on track, and there were no theaters, so after a riot, they calmed down.
"It's a pity, Xu Ke's second-five boy!" Mai Jia cursed fiercely in the conference room.
Mai Jia couldn't help but scold him. He had not had a stable rest for several days. With Shi Nansheng's sudden resignation, most of the administrative work in Xinyi City was overwhelming as his largest shareholder, and even the shooting plan for "Best Partner 3" was postponed.
"Okay, OK, it's not the time to curse." Shi Tian waved his hand impatiently and said, "We have to find an administrative expert as soon as possible, otherwise we will not be able to continue to do anything."
"Yes, you can't go on in chaos anymore. Who knows if several other film companies will come to poach people again?" Huang Baiming said with some depression.
Alas! Huang Boming sighed, it would be great if they didn't run Xu Ke so much at the beginning.
As one of the most influential film companies in Hong Kong, the news of the resignation of the two backbone immediately triggered a public opinion storm in Hong Kong.
Countless filmmakers and journalists are looking forward to this battle between Jiahe and Xinyi City that is already on the surface!
That's right, it's the battle between Jiahe and Xinyi City. Just when Cen Jianxun was nervously taking Xu Ke to Hong Jingbao to poach people, Cen Jianxun, who would not lose fast meat, was shocked to find that Zou Wenhuai allowed Hong Jingbao to come out and even tried his best to make it happen. Of course, the condition for this collaboration is that Debao's movie will be released in Jiahe in the future.
Cen Jianxun, who already has good administrative abilities, immediately figured out the whole story. This matter must have happened to Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng. How could Zou Wenhuai not know the value of these two people in Xinyi City? Now that selling a small favor can hit Xinyi City and Princess Jin, why don’t Zou Wenhuai do it?
"Wenhuai, your move is really good." He Chuchang smiled and said, "It not only hit Xinyi City and Princess Jin, but also brought us a film company. It's so high!"
"Haha, what's the taller? New Art City is not good yet." Zou Wenhuai said proudly.
He Chuchang smiled and said, "They look good on the surface, but I don't know why they are disgusting inside."
"Okay, I don't expect to defeat them in one go." Zou Wenhuai waved his hand and said seriously: "By the way, you ask Aaron to prepare and go to the United States to film "Sky Speed 2" in a few days."
"The Cannonball Speed? 2?" He Chuchang said in surprise: "Last time this movie made Aaron full of anger, and this time he even asked him..."
"You misunderstood." Zou Wenhuai waved his hand and interrupted He Chuchang's words, and continued to smile: "This time Aaron is the protagonist, and he will not be a supporting role like last time, and he can also be the martial arts commander of this movie."
"real?"
Zou Wenhuai nodded and smiled and said, "It's true." (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
