"Mr. Zou is too polite, but I still want to give it a try myself." Xu Zhi shook his head and replied. The conditions proposed by Zou Wenhuai looked very good, but even if they were put in the contract, there were no executable operations. Everything was empty.

If the promise is made, Jiahe may not necessarily invest any resources. If it is done well, even if it is divided into shares, Jiahe will still make money. If it is not done well, Jiahe will not lose anything.

Zou Wenhuai saw that Xu Zhi refused very directly without any consideration, so he smiled and said: "It seems that I still underestimate Xu Sheng. Xu Sheng is very determined about his goals, but I was abrupt!"

Xu Zhidao: "It's not a firm goal, I just have confidence in the story I wrote!"

Regardless of whether he agrees or not, Xu Zhi actually only has one chance. If he fails, he will not have any chance for at least a few years.

Even if Jiahe really agrees to invest in himself, he must read the script. It is not said whether Jiahe will take the script and burn bridges. Even if it is a normal investment, Xu Zhi will not have a say in how to shoot, who will direct, or even who will act.

, in this role he is just a screenwriter and has no right to speak.

If the movie is a hit, how much commission will he get?

The only advantage of agreeing to Jiahe's investment is to avoid risks. But in history, Drunken Master was released in 1978, and now in 1977, there is a difference of one year. There is no reason for it to fail. Even if we don't get the results of later generations, it shouldn't be much different.

There is a high probability that there will be no loss. In this case, Xu Zhi would not dare to cooperate too deeply with Jiahe, otherwise the benefits would be too great. Zou Wenhuai sounds nice now, but the situation will be different by then.

There are two kinds of people in the world who are the stupidest: those who believe in the words of their leaders and those who believe in their partners. That’s not to say that you can’t trust them, but at least you should never bet your wealth in the hands of others until you are familiar with them.

Seeing that Xu Zhi refused to agree, Zou Wenhuai thought for a while and asked: "I heard from Luo Wei that the condition of your cooperation with him is to give him the copyright of Jagged Talent. So you want to borrow Chen Long to make other movies?"

Xu Zhidao: "Yes, the other one was originally intended to be a novel, but the plot was too small and not suitable, so I was wondering if it could be turned into a movie."

Zou Wenhuai nodded and asked: "Making a movie requires a lot of money. I have sent people to investigate your situation. Even if your house is sold, it will not be enough. Where will you get the money to invest?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "I don't have it, but Mr. Zou does!"

Zou Wenhuai laughed and said: "Xu Sheng, you are not going to ask me to borrow money! Although I am very optimistic about you, I will not be stupid enough to lend a large sum of money to a stranger."

Xu Zhixiao asked: "Is Zou Sheng worried that I can't afford the repayment?"

Zou Wenhuai smiled and said: "No, if you can keep writing a few good quality novels, I will lend you hundreds of thousands, and you should be able to pay it back even if you lose money. In fact, I am not afraid if you lose money, I am

If you are really successful, why should I borrow money to cultivate a competitor? Unless you are willing to join Jiahe, I will consider it!"

Xu Zhidao: "Jiahe's position in Xiangjiang is now unrivaled. Are you afraid of having another rival?"

Zou Wenhuai shook his head and said: "No one will think it's too much money. If you find a way to invest in movies by yourself, we will follow the industry rules. But if you don't want to join Jiahe, I can't spend money to train my competitors. It's not much money."

question.

In fact, Xu Sheng can go back and think about it slowly and join us in Jiahe. If you use Jiahe's funds, we will review the script. If it passes, you won't have any risk. Although the final share will be less, the win is stability. If you insist on investing on your own

We have no problem with the movies we make. We at Golden Harvest have huge distribution capabilities and can sell the movies to RB and South Asia. In the end, everyone will share the money together, and it will not be less than what you make by yourself!"

Xu Zhi thought for a while and said: "I can consider handing over the overseas distribution of the film to Jiahe, but it is only limited to this film at the moment. We can sign a film contract. As for the future, I will not decide now!"

Zou Wenhuai looked at Xu Zhi and said: "It's okay, but you insist on investing by yourself. If we only sign a distribution agreement, I won't give you a penny, and it depends on whether it can be sold overseas.

score!"

Xu Zhi nodded and smiled: "I understand. In fact, the main purpose of my visit today is not for the movie, but because I have a business that I want to do with Mr. Zou."

Zou Wenhuai was stunned and asked curiously: "What business?"

Xu Zhi did not answer, but asked: "Mr. Zou's biggest competitor should be Sir Shao, right?"

Zou Wenhuai frowned, but still said: "Yes."

Xu Zhidao: "Although Sir Shao is not as good as Zou Sheng in the film industry now, he is also the general manager of TVB, the largest TV station in Hong Kong. Although the Li family still controls the board of directors, Li Xiaohe's health has not been very good. If there is

If he dies one day, I'm afraid TVB will inevitably fall into Sir Shao's hands, and his influence will be even stronger by then."

Zou Wenhuai smiled and said, "That's true, but can you still give me a TV station?"

In fact, Zou Wenhuai had already considered everything Xu Zhi said. Although in the early 1970s, Shaw Brothers decided to slowly abandon the film industry, which led to his own departure to start a business. Xiao He may succeed or fail, but his achievements in the film industry in recent years

Shao Yifu also agrees with the excitement.

Although he is worth hundreds of millions and is an upstart in Hong Kong's rich circle, he is still far behind Shao Yifu, who has been in business for decades. Now Shaw Brothers will focus mainly on the competition for TV stations. After all, TVB and Shaw Brothers are now

Not yet a family, in TVB

There is also a board of directors above Shaw Brothers. Many cooperations cannot be too in-depth, but if Run Run Shaw succeeds in taking over one day, TVB's resources will definitely help Shaw Brothers go further, and Run Run Shaw can also easily mobilize funds to enter the film industry.

industry.

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Of course I can't give Zou Sheng a TV station, but I can give him another industry that increases his influence."

"An industry that increases influence?" Zou Wenhuai pondered for a few words and said, "You mean newspapers?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "That's right! The media is currently controlled by three major industries: film, television and newspapers. The profits in this area are divided. They all make money based on their own abilities. Movies may have relatively higher profits, but in terms of influence, I'm afraid.

Far inferior to TV and print media. If Run Run Shaw has a TV station, then if

With a big newspaper, one can diversify and not put all his eggs in one basket, and the other can increase his influence, especially in the political circles, and if any movies are to be released, they can also

You can save some advertising fees and achieve multiple benefits with one stone. I wonder what Zou Sheng thinks?"

Zou Wenhuai looked at Xu Zhi, pondered for a while and said: "Xu Sheng wants me to invest in a newspaper, and then your novels will be serialized in it?"

Xu Zhi shook his head and smiled: "I want shares!"

Zou Wenhuai smiled and said: "Xu Sheng's ambition is really big, but even if I give you shares, if you want to invest in the future, you need to invest in proportion to your shareholding. This is not a small amount of money."

Xu Zhidao: "So Zou Sheng made an investment first. As long as my novels are well written, the newspaper itself will be able to maintain balance."

Zou Wenhuai thought for a moment and said, "How many shares does Xu Sheng want?"

Xu Zhi replied: "I want to invest in shares based on the content of the novel and require 30% of the shares. Mr. Zou invested 3 million Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 70% of the shares. At the same time, I want a veto power!"
