Sitting in the car sent by Sir Shao, Gu Ao looked at the night view of Victoria Harbor outside the window, thinking about countermeasures for this trip.

During the phone communication before coming, and when chatting with Sir Shao’s concubine, Mr. Fang of TVB last month, Gu Ao had realized that there were many Hong Kong film and television stars who were likely to refuse to film in mainland China this time. Is the reason still the old tune of "fear of Wanwan ban".

If Gu Ao could be a few months later, the situation might be very different.

Because after two years of preparation, shooting and production, "The Last Emperor", will be released in two months. Once this film is popular in North America, and even achieves something in Oscars next year, Gu Ao will return to Xiangjiang when he returns to Xiangjiang, his confidence will definitely be a response.

"The Last Emperor" was completed in March. It took just half a year to edit and post-production. If it were other movies, half a year of post-production would definitely be very abundant if there were no special effects.

However, the upper-level resources and attention of "The Last Emperor" are betting on too many upper-level resources and attention, so it is inevitable that there will be some anxiety during the promotion process. After the production is completed, you must leave enough time for the distribution and publicity work to create momentum in order to ensure that everything is foolproof.

What's more, movies that want to participate in the Oscars every year should be delayed until the fourth quarter to release them to maintain the popularity before the awards season and take into account the communication rate. This is also one of the unspoken rules for the Hollywood circle.

The above factors, coupled with the attempt to release globally, have led to a slowdown in release - not all movies can only show foreign publishers a rough cut, just like "The First Blood", and the other party is willing to pay for money to introduce them according to the buyout model.

In most cases, if you want to distribute movies globally, you have to make a fine-cut version, watch them privately for the film vendor, or attend a certain film festival to screen, and evaluate the quality of the entire bureau, so that the other party will pay for it. Only movies with proportional accounts can be signed after watching a movie.

The two-month period was sacrificed for the simultaneous issuance. Under the media conditions of 1983, it was not very common, but just a fair and average.

As for other achievements Gu Ao made in Hollywood, such as "Terminator", it cannot actually deepen the bargaining chips he used to negotiate with Sir Shao - because those films are not Chinese, and they cannot be compared with "The Last Emperor". Even if Shaw wants to cooperate with Gu Ao, he will not be able to get any benefits and can't get private goods.

In summary, Gu Ao negotiated with Sir Shao on the eve of the comprehensive display of the professionalism and performance of "Lanting Cinema". Of course, there were difficulties.

The stall is so big, but the results are still not revealed in the pit.

But he didn't regret it. Anyway, Mr. Cha's two-year film and television adaptation rights are already in his hands, so the negotiations will be delayed.

This time when I came to Xiangjiang, everyone would be happy to have a conversation. It would be best to allocate resources from Xiangjiang Film in all aspects to the mainland. If you are temporarily frustrated, the more you drag it on, the more you will be beneficial to Gu Ao.

...

"Uncle Six, I've been missing for a long time. It's great to see that you are in good health."

When he drove into Baijia Road's apartment, Gu Ao greeted Sir Shao in a friendly manner, and changed his previous name and called him "Uncle Six" with great face.

This is also a custom in the media industry circle of Xiangjiang. Even if other bosses are competitors, they still shout this way when they meet Sir Shao. Gu Ao is only 21 years old, and the other party is 76, so he won’t lose money by calling him Uncle.

"Gu Sheng is a good method. He actually bought out Mr. Cha's two-year adaptation rights. If our wireless company hadn't had a big business and had no worries about filming, it would have affected our consistent friendly cooperation."

Sir Shao smiled and took the initiative to pull Gu Ao, showing his "landlord friendship" without any trace, adding to his feelings while walking.

"Outsiders look at our wireless business, which is the most glorious. How many people think that we have made so many celebrities famous and have their income so low. They don't know that there are big difficulties.

Our acting training classes are open every year and cannot be stopped. How big is the market in Xiangjiang? Do we need so many actors? We do mainly pay fixed wages for actors, but we also need to make sure they have jobs and make new movies. It is not easy. If we don’t want to raise so many people one-third of the people in Xiangjiang’s entertainment industry will be unemployed.”

After hearing this, Gu Ao had to nod.

Shaw Brothers exploits artists, which is open. There are many films that are made at low cost and shoddy, so there is no denying that it is not a big deal.

However, Shaw Brothers ensured the scale of practitioners in the Hong Kong film and television industry and ensured that most people had jobs, which was a real contribution. And because of the need to use labor, it has led to a certain extent the content has flourished in various ways and temptations.

Perhaps many celebrities feel that "the income is still mainly based on fixed wages" after becoming famous, but it is this fixed salary system that allows other people who are not popular to have work to do-

This is different from big pot rice, because big pot rice is against more work and more gains, and whether it is popular in the entertainment industry is not necessarily related to whether it is hard or not.

Most of the time, the company's exposure opportunities and media resources are invested for you, so that you can stand out from the other people who are both popular or not, objective, handsome, and beautiful, and have similar acting skills.

Shaw's system cannot be called a big pot rice, at most it can only be called "more work and more rewards" rather than "efficient and more rewards".

"Effect" is not created by you alone, but is produced by advertising and dog hype.

"Uncle Six is ​​quick, so let's go straight." Gu Ao sat upright in the living room without crossing his legs, and said to the point.

"I really want to know how many of the original well-known actors were unwilling to go to mainland China to film. And these roles are vacant, how many alternative roles do you have to use, and what can be used for our mainland casting."

Sir Shao smiled and gave a wink.

He is old and will not personally ask about the details of his actors.

His concubine, Mr. Fang, who was in his 40s, immediately came over, sat next to him, and spread a document.

"Let me tell you a general idea - any main characters who had a trend of becoming popular in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" last year are unwilling to go to mainland China to shoot theatre and the magical sculptures.

Qiao Feng and Liang Jiaren from Tianlong were originally Guo Jing from the Divine Condor Heroes, but now he won’t go there and will change it.

Xu Zhu Huang Yuhua in the Tianlong was originally Guo Jing in the The Legend of the Condor Heroes, but now he won't go there and want to change it.

Duan Yutang Zhenye in Tianlong also boycotted.

As for Azhu/Zhong Ling and Huang Xingxiu in Tianlong, the contract with us was expired this year. I heard that she was going to the mainland, so she didn't renew her contract and immigrated to Wanwan to develop. Gu Sheng, you insisted on bringing us to the mainland to film, but it made it difficult for us to do it."

After hearing this, Gu Ao did not show any surprise or concession.

Most of these names are familiar to him. What made him feel most "destroying the classics" was that Huang Yuehua actually gave up on "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" because of the differences caused by the butterfly effect of "going to the mainland", and was afraid that Wanwan would be banned, so he gave up on "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" because of the differences caused by the butterfly effect of "going to the mainland".

As for the losses of the other characters, it's nothing.

Liang Jiaren, Gu Ao has also seen him in later generations, but the ones who are impressed by them are all old men - for example, the slam dunk film in later generations of Zhou Jielun filming "The Great Hero of Zhou", in which the old man who plays the master is Liang Jiaren.

This man has developed in the direction of Wanwan in his history. Since the 82-Day Dragon, his later appearances in Jin Yong's dramas have been mainly concentrated in works produced by Wanwan, such as Guo Jing in the Richie Jen/Wu Qianlian version of the Divine Condor Heroes.

From Chow Cheung to Richie Richie, they were all traffic overlords in the late 1990s and early 21st century. Their projects are also the highlights of Wanwan label entertainment capital.

So such people cannot be brought back.

The same is true for the Zhu Huang Xingxiu.

Qiao Feng/Azhu can be said to have "heats in the way of cows and sheep, and if they are popular, they will run away without any negotiation."

As for Duan Yutang Zhenye who didn't want to come in the end, Gu Ao was a little unhappy. When he heard this name, he felt the idea of ​​punishment.

Tang Zhenye became famous three years ago by playing Chen Hanlin in "Hujiangtan". As a person who has been to the mainland and became popular by the time he went to the mainland, he immediately turned against others and wanted to whitewash himself, survive the three-year ban period in Wanwan, and then attack the Wanwan market. That would be a bit ungrateful.

Others have never been to the mainland, and they are not "before they were a supporting role. Because big names didn't want to come to the mainland, they got the opportunity to become popular because they were willing to go to the mainland." So, strictly speaking, Huang Yuehua and Liang's family are not considered as owing to the mainland, so they all have their own ambitions.

Gu Ao's heart will also leave a chance for these people in the future.

Similarly, Zhou Runfa was considered a "half-supporter" before "Hujiangtan". Although his attitude is flickering now, he did not openly refuse. He just said that he never acted in costume dramas, or his acting style was wrong. He also recommended his supporting brother Liu Dehua to replace him. Generally speaking, he was still relatively humble in front of Gu Ao, and he dared not openly think, "I'm already popular, don't look at Brother Gu's face."

If Tang Zhenye does this, then Gu Ao can't give him a chance, so he won't think about coming to the mainland in the future.

Gu Ao clarified the relationship between the two and the other party and then took it as his own initiative:

"If you don't want to come, don't come - I can leave him some chance to regret and reform himself. I can still cooperate if I figure it out later. After all, he did not owe the mainland. Liang Jiaren and Huang Xingxiu, they all have their own ambitions. Wanwan people are also Chinese, so we won't force them.

However, I will talk to Tang Zhenye here today. I will not be allowed to come to the mainland to take on work in the future. I will never be able to do it in my whole life. If I don’t give me some colors, I would think you and Gu Ao are easy to talk to. People who have become popular with me and my uncle, who want to be so thorough in the filming of "Hujiangtan" with me, I still want to be so completely. Is there any way to go?

Uncle Six, don’t mind me dealing with this. In the future, no matter what role the film appears in Tang Zhenye will not be introduced to the mainland. However, we must not let the film be punished without teaching. If you want to sell it last year, it’s okay. After all, it was filmed before I spoke. We can’t let Uncle Six suffer this loss. Let’s start from today. I won’t buy any films that Tang Zhenye will appear in in the future. My buddy and I will not buy them.”

Sir Shao frowned.

It’s hard to be a human being when it’s stuck in the middle. The people of Wanwan were banned by him, but unexpectedly, Gu Ao also came to ban him. The confidence seemed to be quite weak.

"This one is right? OK, I accept it." Sir Shao thought about it and knew that Gu Ao wanted to kill someone to establish his authority.

We must make people stand up, otherwise everyone will be shameless and will break the atmosphere of friendly cooperation.

Gu Aoxian said that he would not pursue the other three, and only grabbed one and beat it, which was obviously a typical example of vertical and negative sides.
