176 [Brother Long's Ambition]

"Sister Royal", "Mr. Zombie", "Wrong Car", these works of Kang Jianfei were sold in several countries and regions at the same time. Ordinary Hong Kong citizens may not know the news, but their colleagues in the Hong Kong film industry soon learned about it, and then there was collective envy, jealousy and hatred.

Nanyang is the back garden of Hong Kong films, but at this time, only 20 or 30 Hong Kong films can be sold in Nanyang every year. Among these 20 or 30 movies, Shaw Brothers and Jiahe Company account for most of them. The films made by ordinary films can only earn real box offices. If you are lucky, you may be able to sell them to Taiwan and make another profit.

As for ri and South Korea, even the two major companies, Jiahe and Shaw Brothers, are not many movies that can be sold. ri is due to market reasons, while South Korea is due to zhèngfu's restrictive order.

Like the previous "Happy Ghost", if it weren't for the movie's box office hit in Hong Kong, it surpassed Cheng Long's "Junior Brother Takes Play". With Princess Jin's overseas distribution ability, she would have never wanted to sell it to Ri Korea for three or five years.

Why did other Hong Kong stars have paid only a few hundred thousand yuan, but Cheng Long's pay had reached millions? It is because audiences in South Korea, Taiwan and Nanyang love to watch Cheng Long's movies, which can increase countless overseas box offices.

It is true that Sammo Hung is a big brother in Hong Kong, and his prestige in the circle seems to be higher than Cheng Long, but now he can only be more prestigious in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and neither Ri nor Korean audiences buy his account.

Just because the audience liked Cheng Long, Cheng Long became a fragrant bun. Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang would rather use the disgraceful section than grab it. Luo Wei, who was poached by Jiahe, was like a gold mountain being poached. He was so angry that he spent a huge amount of money to ask the club to trouble Jiahe and Cheng Long.

In the Hong Kong film industry with a narrow local box office market, whoever has the ability to attract money overseas will be the boss.

When the news of Kang Jianfei's movie being sold in Rihan was back, some small companies even ran to Maqiao with their own movies, hoping to ask DreamWorks to help contact Rihan Academy Merchants. They directly divided the box office of DreamWorks to serve as an agent fee for DreamWorks.

In the current Hong Kong film industry, anyone knows that Oriental DreamWorks has risen, because Oriental DreamWorks movies can now be distributed overseas by themselves. They can achieve good overseas box office.

In the past, when Oriental Dream Factory started, more people in the circle saw Princess Jin, who believed that with Princess Jin's support, Kang Jianfei and his company could only get up.

Nowadays, when talking about DreamWorks and Princess Jin, everyone is used to putting Oriental DreamWorks in front of them.

Although Oriental DreamWorks is still poor and its funds are far less than those of the two companies, Jiahe and Shaw, some people have begun to call DreamWorks and Jiahe and Shaw.

"Movie Biweekly" even wrote a direct chapter pointing out: "In the 1950s, the Hong Kong film industry was a melee between Shaw Brothers, Great Wall, Phoenix, Cathay and other companies; in the 1960s, the Hong Kong film industry was a coexistence between Shaw Brothers and Chiao (Catholic Pacific); in the 1970s, the Hong Kong film industry was aligned with Shaw Brothers and Chiao. Now it has just entered the 1980s. The young tiger of DreamWorks revealed its fangs. In the next few years, the Hong Kong film industry will soon enter an era of Shaw Brothers, Chiao and DreamWorks...."

"Hmph. What a three-country tyrant!" Zou Wenhuai threw away the magazine and asked the secretary. "Is Cheng Long here?"

The secretary replied: "He has arrived, Cheng Long and Manager He are in the reception room outside."

Zou Wenhuai got up and came to the reception room. In addition to Cheng Long and He Guanchang, there was also a gold medal screenwriter Deng Jingsheng sitting in the reception room.

"Mr. Zou!"

As soon as Zou Wenhuai appeared, Cheng Long and Deng Jingsheng stood up to greet each other, but only He Guanchang was still sitting on the sofa.

"Sit all," Zou Wenhuai took the lead and asked, "Along, Asheng, how are the show ready?"

Deng Jingsheng nodded and said, "It's already written."

Cheng Long passed by and handed the drama to Zou Wenhuai, saying, "This drama is a summary of several movies such as "Snake Shaped" and "Drunk Fist", and the name is "Young Master Long".

Zou Wenhuai opened the drama and only watched a few pages, then turned around and asked He Guanchang: "What do Guanchang think?"

"A great drama, but it's just," Ho Guanchang frowned. "Now the appetite of Hong Kong audiences has been raised by "The Royal Sister". This "The Dragon Master" is still an old-style kung fu comedy. I wonder if the audience will buy it."

In parallel space, Cheng Long's "The Dragon Master" did not sell well in Hong Kong because the audience prefers to watch new urban comedy films in New Art City, and the old kung fu films are out of date. Kang Jianfei's "The Royal Sister" has gone further, and the audience's appetite has been gained by how to permeate Changsou.

Zou Wenhuai asked: "Then do you think we should learn from Oriental to shoot modern kung fu films? Is Aaron suitable for making such films?"

He Guanchang was speechless, and then smiled bitterly: "Who knows that I haven't tried it?"

Today, Cheng Long can only shoot old-style kung fu comedy, but has never tried modern kung fu movies. He Guanchang and Zou Wenhuai cannot predict the future, so naturally they dare not let Cheng Long test the waters for transformation.

Cheng Long and Deng Jingsheng were anxious when they heard it next to them. They both took a lot of effort to write the drama "Young Master Long". If they temporarily change the shooting plan now, their efforts will be in vain.

Zou Wenhuai was silent and said after a long time: "Then let's film "The Dragon Master" first. Even if the Hong Kong audience doesn't like it, there are markets in ri, South Korea, Taiwan and Nanyang."

Cheng Long and Deng Jingsheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and Cheng Long hesitated and said: "Mr. Zou, I...I..."

Zou Wenhuai said: "What are you doing hesitantly? Just say something straight."

Cheng Long couldn't say anything: "I want to open a film company."

Zou Wenhuai was not talking yet, but Cheng Long's godfather He Guanchang taught a lesson first: "How old are you? There are only five or six people from a family class. They actually remember to open a film company, and they don't know how to be tall and rich!"

Cheng Long made up his mind and confronted him: "Kang Jianfei was only 19 years old and could open a film company, why can't I?"

"Haha," Zou Wenhuai smiled, stopping He Guanchang, who was about to continue to curse. He said, "Jiahe has always supported its talent duli producers. Since you want to open a company, I will support you. But you must wait until the filming of "The Dragon Master" is finished."

"Okay, thank you Mr. Zou. I will definitely film "Young Master Long" carefully." Cheng Long was overjoyed and bowed to Zou Wenhuai. He was jealous of Kang Jianfei's Dream Factory. In addition, Hong Jin guaranteed the company to open a big profit in the year, how could Cheng Long be willing to work for Jiahe?

Zou Wenhuai said: "Let's do this, I'll invest some money for you, and I don't have much shares, just 40% of them."

Cheng Long felt thankful again after hearing this. With Zou Wenhuai's investment, he didn't have to worry about funding issues at all.

This is Zou Wenhuai's aura. If it were Lei Juekun, he would have to own at least more than 50% of the shares.

But because of this kind of energy, by the 1990s, Zou Wenhuai's wings grew hard and actually competed with his old boss Jiahe. Later, when he was competing for the cinema, Jiahe was even counterattacked by Liujialian, and he put a piece of fat meat to his mouth.

He Guanchang had scolded Cheng Long before. He was just a gesture, and he also blamed Cheng Long for not saying hello to him in advance. Seeing that Zou Wenhuai agreed, He Guanchang also asked with a smile: "It is very important to name the film company. What name is Along going to give the new company?"

Cheng Long smiled and said, "I have already thought of the name, so I call it Quanwei Film Company (the predecessor of Weihe)."

Deng Jingsheng couldn't interrupt, and he took the opportunity to praise: "The boxing is powerful, and this name is majestic and domineering."

Zou Wenhuai suddenly said: "Along, I have a few actors in "The Dragon Master" for the Hong family members, and Sanmao is coming back."

"Brother Sanmao is going to go back to Jiahe?" Cheng Long asked in surprise. He had a good relationship with Hong Jinbao and other brothers at this time, and there were no cracks.

Deng Jingsheng was also surprised and said: "After "The Royal Sister", Sammo Hung's "Zombie Master" is the main film of Princess Jin's side. It sold very well at the box office. Why is he willing to leave Jinbao Film Company and comes back?"

"Haha," He Guanchang smiled, "Princess Jin has an Oriental Dream Factory, and the films in New Art City are also very good. What's the point of staying there?"

Deng Jingsheng didn't ask more questions. He knew there must be another insider, but the two bosses didn't. He asked for nothing and was disgusted.

In fact, there is no insider. After Sammo Hung comes back to cooperate with Jiahe, Jiahe will form a new Baohe Film Company with Sammo Hung. Zou Wenhuai has made a promise that 70% of Baohe Film Company's shares will belong to Sammo Hung, and strongly supports Baohe's films overseas distribution.

The last two are important weights to attract Sammo Hung to return to Jiahe.

Because in Jinbao Film Company, Lei Juekun alone occupies nearly 60% of the shares, and most of the money made by Sammo Hung has entered Lei Juekun's pocket. Zou Wenhuai generously gave Sammo Hung 70% of the shares of the new company. The more box offices he earned in the future are enough to make Sammo Hung abandon the current Jinbao Film Company.

As for Jiahe's promise to support the overseas release of the new company Baohe, it would be even more amazing, because Princess Jin's overseas release is too weak. For example, Princess Jin helped Kang Jianfei release "Mr. Zombie", which lasted for more than half a year and gave up part of the box office share to negotiate. As for the release of "Mr. Zombie" in Ri, Princess Jin has not yet discussed it. Now Kang Jianfei is a cheaper person to discuss with the Ri Academy.

Jiahe is not the case. If Sammo Hung’s movies are of good quality, Zou Wenhuai can even help him release them to Europe and the United States. Compared with the box office there, the box office in Taiwan and South Korea are not worth mentioning.

Several people continued to discuss matters related to the new film "The Dragon Master". Suddenly, Zou Wenhuai's assistant came over and leaned into his ear and whispered: "Mr. Zou, Mr. Ethers is calling from the United States."

"I have something to do, and I will leave it to Guanchang. "Zou Wenhuai said to He Guanchang, and then ran to Cheng Long, Deng Jingsheng nodded, and then walked quickly to answer the phone.

Picking up the phone, Zou Wenhuai said fluently: "Hey, Ethers, long time no see, are you looking for me?"

Ethus said: "Zou, there is a Hong Kong film called "The Royal Warrior" (the English translation of "The Royal Sister"). Do you know which company it was filmed?"

"Soldier Royal?" Zou Wenhuai quickly reacted, "Is it the one of the female protagonists?"

Ethers: "Yes, that's the movie, the protagonist is a man."

Zou Wenhuai said strangely: "What do you ask about this movie?"

Ethers said in surprise: "Don't you know that this movie caused a sensation in the United States!"

"I heard it right?" Zou Wenhuai said in surprise.

Zou Wenhuai heard it correctly. Kang Jianfei stayed in the United States for a month and a half before finally letting "Sister Royal" be released in North America.
