Chapter 083 "Dragon Gate Flying Armor"!

ps: I’m not losing my integrity… I’m so handsome! As handsome as Brother Chun!

The negotiations on the next day went smoothly.

Or just put it more realistically. It’s the 21st century. As long as you don’t get involved in anything else, it will definitely be very smooth when two private companies discuss cooperation fairly. Why? Because these days, people are doing business in wealth, and business is business. Things that benefit both parties will always seem very simple and reasonable in the market.

What's more, the two company bosses set the tone on the first day, cooperation is necessary and needs to be reached as soon as possible. Then, the rest naturally depends on the level of the highest financial officials of each company, Liu Qingxuan and Liang Xu, to find out the bottom line of each other, put forward a quotation that is more beneficial to them, and then continue to compromise and get closer...

By the way, Chu Long was cruelly thrown into the negotiation team by Kim Jong-ming. In his words, it is not a bad thing to appear a beautiful woman on the negotiating table.

Uh... So, when the negotiations are in dire straits on the most basic issue of money, what about the two real protagonists, Kim Jong-ming and Yu Fatty?

Fatty Yu...of course, he continued to go back to Nanjing to put out the fire. To be honest, if his wife didn't write a divorce agreement, the issue of listing would definitely break down halfway, and the whole company would have to follow suit. Considering the stability and ruthlessness of his wife's move this time, it would be strange if Fatty Yu didn't leave the outdoors and was criticized.

As for Kim Jong-ming, he was accompanied by Bona's COO, which is the president in South Korea, and Chen Yong-xiong, who was leisurely visiting Bona Group. In the morning, he accompanied the other party to learn about the concept of several Bona's film and television bases... These bases are destined to be large in investment and operate independently, and at the same time, they must cooperate as many as possible to share risks. Kim Jong-ming, a big dog, probably also noticed by Chen Yong-xiong, so he really wanted to kill him.

However, Kim Jong-ming seemed to be more interested in Chen Yongxiong himself and was also very interested in the story of the Hong Kong movies represented by Chen Yongxiong. Since lunch, he has stayed in the other party's office and talked about the past of Hong Kong with Mr. Chen.

By the way, Chen Yongxiong is not simple.

As mentioned before, the reason why Kim Jong-ming chose Bona as the film partner in China was that he took in two huge advantages of this company.

The first one is naturally Fatty himself. This Fatty is the youngest section chief of a state-owned film company before the reform of Chinese films. He is also the number one official Chinese film figure Han Sanye who has been around for decades. This connection is really an immeasurable wealth.

Another thing, Kim Jong-ming actually said, that is, Bona Films is actually the best one in the 6 major regions to take over the Hong Kong Film Legacy.

The significance of Xiangjiang movies is no exaggeration no matter how you evaluate it.

Asian movies, including Japanese and Korean movies, are actually widely inspired and influenced by Hong Kong movies. Until now, people like Yoo Jae-suk can sing the episodes in "The True Heroes" casually. Jackie Chan and Aaron Kwok's gossip news can still be on the headlines of Korean entertainment media, and Song Seung-heon is also very excited because he can remake "The True Heroes"... This is a miracle in South Korea, which is open and universally xenophobic. Kim Jong-ming changed the plot of the protagonists' Japanese culture in "Those Years" to the cultural description of Hong Kong. This is not a blunder. In that era, Hong Kong's entertainment culture is just as Japanese culture is to South Korea.

Or simply, the most prosperous period of Xiangjiang films is qualified to represent the entire Oriental film industry.

But what about now? The golden-era artists may still be there, but the industry has actually collapsed. Even many Hong Kong filmmakers themselves say that Hong Kong movies are dead, and the 2-year-old "Infernal Affairs" is its return and even an elegy. So what after death? Who will the legacy belong to? This is the essence of an era!

First, a group of top figures advanced to Hollywood with their private teams, Jet Li, Jackie Chan, John Woo... These are all people who have stood firm in Hollywood.

But this is only a small part, and Hollywood cannot make these people feel belonging after all, and even fewer people will stick to stay.

The next choice is to stick to it naturally... But to be honest, this group of people are basically struggling because the market and industry there can no longer support them, and even if there are very few people who stick to it, they can't support them.

And in the end, a place that seems more natural appeared, that is, Big 6.

Big 6 has money, Big 6 has market, Big 6 has broad prospects... More importantly, everyone is the same text, the same race and the same country... From this perspective, Big 6 and Xiangjiang join forces and then resurrecting the Xiangjiang movie seems to have become an inevitable option.

In fact, Jackie Chan, Chow Run, Stephen Chow... This representative two-month-month Chengdu actually relied on Big 6 to regain a certain rebirth.

Among them, Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu" and "Yangtze River 7" are actually very much aimed at the audience of Big 6; Chow Run just collaborated on "Let the Bullets Fly", and that movie Kim Jong-ming invested a lot of money, and he will soon take advantage of the opportunity at the end of the year to make a comeback; as for Jackie Chan, it is even more amazing. This is recognized by the Asian movie leader, is directing a movie called "The Revolution of 1911". You must understand that being able to direct a movie in Big 6 is not just a matter of status and achievements, it is really recognized by the country for your status... You still have to be convinced by being the boss.

But... is the actual situation really like this? These top people can really take all sizes, but that is just the privilege of top characters. If you change to An Shengji, you won’t still cooperate with Liu Tianwang, and if you want to make friends with Tony Leung? So, the real situation is never that simple. Even to be honest, in the tide of performing artists going north in Hong Kong, whether it is movies or TV series (although Da6 and Hong Kong don’t have much boundaries in this regard), the gap between the two people is very serious!

The first one is the issue of remuneration. The actors and directors in Xiangjiang get a reward when they work with Big 6 and the general ones are ten times more common than those in Big 6.

By the way, when Kim Jong-ming was filming "The Legend of the Constitution", he watched the difference in pay between Big 6 and Hong Kong actors in the entire environment. In the whole environment, because of the naked pursuit of money by Hong Kong entertainers and their contempt for unknown sources, Hong Kong's directors and actors almost got the general disgust of the entire industry related to Big 6.

What's even more terrifying is that the actors and directors of Xiangjiang who came here as refugees not only take this for granted, but also have a general mentality of looking down on the Big Six aspects.

Not to mention the beating incident between Zhang Weijian and Xie Tingfeng and the subsequent collective rebound of the Big 6 film and television personnel, just say Chen Kexin... After filming "October Siege", he broke up with Yu Dong. Why? Chen Kexin's movie was well made and he was indeed a successful director, but he was too greedy, or his almost naked pursuit of personal money has seriously hurt the interests of investors and others in the industrial chain. Moreover, this is not only a Chen Kexin or a Zhang Weijian, but this is a common problem among the entire Xiangjiang filmmakers. They generally lack fundamental awareness.

You know, nowadays, whether it is capital, market, or industrial capacity and fist are big 6, and you are still trying to get it...

But then again, a film industry that was extremely prosperous in the past can never be composed of just a group of actors and directors who want money. It has its own advanced operating model, advanced film industry, and advanced behind-the-scenes personnel... And the reason why Kim Jong-ming said that Bona did a good job in taking over the Hong Kong Film Legacy is that the person named Chen Yongxiong in front of him has been credited with.

Chen Yongxiong is the general manager of sales and sales of the famous Xiangjiang film production company Huanya, the TV program director of ATV, and the salesperson of "Infernal Affairs"... You basically understand that when you say this, you basically understand. In the wave of Xiangjiang films going north, although there were various frictions, Yu Dong, the fat man, still gritted his teeth and pinched the most core talents.

Chen Kexin was brought in after Chen Yongxiong became the COO. At that time, Yu Dong was ambitious and claimed to have to make ten movies in ten years. But what? The big director of "October Siege" almost cheated Yu Dong and Bona as fools. After the movie ended, Chen Kexin got out, but Yu Dong still kept Chen Yongxiong's position as COO, and this time he left Chen Yongxiong with 2% of his equity...

Putting aside the behind-the-scenes things, people who can succeed always have their reasons. Chinese filmmakers always say that Fatty Yu always admits that he still has such a little ability, even if he is behind the scenes, he will definitely secretly say that he is a bastard who cheated on his wife when she was pregnant.

Correspondingly, although Chen Yongxiong did not say that he died for his confidant, he definitely did not let Fatty down. Therefore, as soon as Chen Kexin left, he immediately started to help him build a bridge for Fatty, preparing to prepare another generous gift for the company's listing, which was used to repay his boss for his kindness.

Well, and the matter has been negotiated 90%. But recently, Pangzi Yu is really worried, and if he doesn't wait for the fire in the backyard to press, he really doesn't have time to come back and officially take over this generous gift.

But...how to say, since this generous gift is a living person who has thoughts and can move, he suddenly became interested and came to him that afternoon.

So, this caused Fatty Yu to eat this gift before he could finish his mouth, but instead let Jin Zhongming see it first and touch it first.

"Director Tsui Hark!" Kim Jong-ming turned his head and saw a man and a woman pushing in the door and immediately bounced off her seat. He walked over and grabbed the other person's hand with a smile before Chen Yongxiong beside him. "Is this Ms. Shi Nansheng? The two really... have been relied on for a long time."

Tsui Hark was stunned for less than half a second, and then laughed excitedly: "Mr. Kim Jong-ming? We have been reliant on us for a long time."

"I didn't expect Director Tsui Hark to recognize me?" Kim Jong-ming was really surprised. He knew that Tsui Hark was taken for granted, so why did the other party know him? "I was so flattered."

"It's not the turn of Mr. Kim Jong-ming to be flattered, right?" Shi Nansheng next to him also smiled. "To be honest, Mr. An Sung-ki's disciple, the first person in the younger generation of Korean movies, and the richest post-80s in Asia... If these words really sound like this, they can't be finished."

"That's right." Tsui Hark actually held Kim Jong-ming's hand and stopped putting it. "Not to mention that there are many acquaintances we have worked with together, I have also watched the recent "Uncle". At the end of the movie, I was so excited that I watched it with bloody murderous aura on my face! It's so suitable! It's so perfect!"

"Where are there..." Kim Jong-ming quickly became humble. "It makes you laugh."

"Don't be humble." Unexpectedly, Shi Nansheng became even more enthusiastic. "He said you were not good at speaking, but you were simply a natural choice."

"That's right." Tsui Hark continued to hold Kim Jong-ming's arms enthusiastically and said. "President Yu told me on the phone that he only arranged one actor and asked me to choose the rest by myself. I was already very satisfied at that time! I didn't expect that the only actor arranged this was the new actor. The new actor! You are a perfect candidate in both business, acting, or image... This is a big surprise!"

Kim Jong-ming thought the taste of this was a bit wrong. In fact, the couple was too enthusiastic! Even if the couple really knew from the group of Hong Kong behind-the-scenes personnel or other channels in "The Legend of the Confession", it was normal. However, after all, everyone is not making a living in the same place. It would be fine if they say a few compliments when they meet. Is it necessary to be so enthusiastic?

You know, from the beginning of entering the door, the couple stood motionless at the door of Chen Yongxiong's office, talking to him from beginning to end, and then not walking in... Moreover, no matter how you hear the meaning of this, you feel that you are a candidate for the actor of which movie.

As soon as he thought of this, Jin Zhongming immediately turned around and stared at Chen Yongxiong.

Chen Yongxiong laughed helplessly, then walked up to him with some embarrassment and grabbed one of Tsui Hark's hand: "Old Monster Xu... you recognized the wrong person."

"This is not Mr. Kim Jong-ming, the Korean big bell actor this year?" Tsui Hark sneered. "What a joke? People admit it, am I blind?"

"He is Mr. Kim Jong-ming." Chen Yongxiong became even more embarrassed. "But you did recognize the wrong person."

Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng are so smart. They glanced at Chen Yongxiong's embarrassing expression and Kim Jong-ming's laughter and crying look, and immediately guessed the truth of the matter. It turned out that they were both self-indulgent and made a mistake.

After accusing each other of their crimes, the four of them sat back again. However, although everyone was still very polite this time, they did not have the same enthusiasm as before.

"So... Mr. Kim Jong-ming just happened to be visiting?" Shi Nansheng looked embarrassed.

"That's right." Chen Yongxiong chuckled in front of Kim Jong-ming. "Our Korean UB company Bona and Kim Jong-ming are partners for many years, and there are countless cooperation projects between them..."

Tsui Hark also nodded a little embarrassedly: "I have heard of Mr. Kim Jong-ming's career in Korea, Mr. An Sung-ki, Mr. Choi Min-sik, Mr. Song Kang-ho, Ms. Jun Ji-hyun... She also has a cooperative relationship with Mr. Lee Byung-hun. Even if she is in our place, her reputation is getting louder and louder... This is indeed my Meng Lang."

"What's the matter with Meng Lang?" Kim Jong-ming quickly sets the steps for others. "I was originally an actor, and it was natural for Director Xu to take me as an actor when he met, and it was even an honor... Why? It seems that the wife and wife are going to work with Bona on a new movie?"

Tsui Hark looked at Chen Yongxiong instinctively.

"Just say it." Chen Yongxiong laughed. "Mr. Kim Jong-ming has really cooperated deeply with us Bona, it doesn't matter."

Tsui Hark nodded. It seems that Kim Jong-ming is Korean after all, so even though the movie is still revising the script and the candidate has not been decided yet, it shouldn't matter.

Thinking of this, Tsui Hark cleared his throat: "That's right. I have talked to Lao Chen many times. This time I plan to set an anchor directly in Bona's treasure land. As the first movie of cooperation, we are going to have a martial arts film."

Jin Zhongming, who was leaning on the sand, had a slight heart move, but he still had the smile on his face: "You are really a perfect match for cooperation with Bona... And with Director Xu's skills, you will definitely be able to direct martial arts films. You are the master of martial arts films."

"I dare not be a master." Tsui Hark said dryly. "As a director, he always wants to make movies. Types are actually classified by outsiders..."

Jin Zhongming agreed very much.

""Dragon Gate Flying Armor"!" Chen Yongxiong had already revealed the truth to Kim Jong-ming. "The orthodox sequel to "New Dragon Gate Inn" has not yet been officially approved, so I will wait for Lao Xu to sign it and then launch it, but it will be the past few days."

"So that's it." Kim Jong-ming's eyelids twitched. ""New Dragon Gate Inn" and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor"... Let me, who grew up watching the old movies in Hong Kong, feel a sense of witnessing history... Martial arts films are really unique to China, but this is the only thing that Korean movies can't be learned."

Tsui Hark looked back at Shi Nansheng with some confusion. He always felt that Chen Yongxiong's attitude towards Kim Jong-ming was a bit too relaxed. It would be fine to introduce some things roughly, but the names of the movies were all serious trade secrets after all. Is it okay to be so direct?

However, Chen Yongxiong is not a fool. This is the old qualification that China International Arts and ATV have been going through. He will definitely not make such a mistake.

Chen Yongxiong glanced at Tsui Hark and immediately understood what he meant: "Old Xu, you are going to sign a contract with us Bona soon. There is no need to hide some things from you. Our Bona and Ube have really reached the last step. The amount of stock exchange is being negotiated in the conference room downstairs. The initial general intention is that Mr. Kim Jong-ming will reach a 10% to 15% share exchange with us Bona with his own Ube Film Investment subsidiary."

Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng suddenly realized that this was Bona’s own person.

"And." Chen Yongxiong also smiled when he said this. "I am a film salesman and have always been very sensitive to money. Mr. Jin Zhongming has a strong financial resources. I try every means to ask for some tips from him and have money together..."

"So that's it." Shi Nansheng also smiled. "I just wanted to hire an actor, but I didn't expect that he was the boss of the backstage."

"Since that's the case," Kim Jong-ming suddenly remembered what happened just now. "I'd like to ask, what is the purpose of the two who suddenly visited? Something went wrong in the preparation of this movie?"

"That's not." Tsui Hark shook his head. "Actually, I was anxious. I said just now that President Yu had always said on the phone that he only had a role in the cast, and I would arrange the rest. And staying at home reading scripts and drawing comics these days... I have basically had a general idea of ​​the actors, so I couldn't help but want to ask President Yu, which role he wants and who he is planning to arrange? I can also start it as soon as possible."

Jin Zhongming suddenly realized.

However, at this time, Chen Yongxiong smiled bitterly: "Old Xu, it's not that I'm ruling. Mr. Yu is not in the capital now, and I can't call him... He has some personal troubles. But don't worry, there is still Mr. Jin Zhongming's big contract here, and he will definitely come back soon."

Tsui Hark looked at Shi Nansheng, and the two shook their heads helplessly. However, they were not unreasonable people, so they stood up directly: "Since that's the case..."

"Since that's the case..." Jin Zhongming suddenly interrupted. "I'll ask for it for Mr. Chen! I'm not afraid that Lao Yu would shy his face."

After saying that, Jin Zhongming took out his cell phone and dialed Yu Fatty. Then, after a second, he was stunned on the spot, and even forgot to put down his cell phone.

"What's wrong?" Tsui Hark asked with concern. "Is it still unconclusive if I haven't asked?"

"None are." Kim Jong-ming took back his phone in a daze. "Although Lao Yu was very annoyed, he still told me the candidate and role directly... It's just that I was a little shocked by this actor...."

"Cough!" Chen Yongxiong suddenly coughed dryly. "But it's okay."

"Yes." Shi Nansheng also smiled. "But it's okay."

"He wants Brother Chun to play the second female lead Gu Shaotang..." Jin Zhongming was still a little confused. "Who is Gu Shaotang? What kind of role is he?"

"Who is Brother Chun?" After a moment of silence, Tsui Hark suddenly asked in a daze. "It can't be Jordan Chan, right?"

Kim Jong-ming looked up and down at Tsui Hark. At this moment, he had no respect for this old monster Xu and was even full of contempt. Even Brother Chun didn't know that you were still here for the Big 6?! We don't know whether you became a god or not, but you don't recognize the Chinese female artist who has been on Time magazine twice?!
