From Xiangjiang Martial Arts in the 70s

Chapter 28
In Hong Kong, Yau Tsim Mong District, standing in a high-rise building, you can see that the harbor is crowded with fishing boats. Every day, fishermen leave early and return late to trade with local market vendors.Lei Luo looked out the window through the floor-to-ceiling windows with his back on his back, and said to Wu Changyun and Wu Gao beside him: "I particularly like this place. This building can generate tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in revenue every minute. The fishing boats outside may only have a few hundred dollars a day." However, this does not affect Hong Kong's prosperity and stability at all, as there are rules everywhere."

"Brother Luo is right, Hong Kong can live better under your governance." Wu Gao said.

Lei Luo turned his head and replied with a smile: "It's not me. What all Hong Kong people want to see at this time is that I just happen to be standing in this position."

"Please sit down, you two." Lei Luo was still very polite to the two of them.

Next to Lei Luo was Zhou Huayun, the director of the film company. During the conversation, Lei Luo only accompanied Xiaoxiao and occasionally said some polite words. Zhou Huayun negotiated all formal work with the two of them.

"First of all, I am very satisfied with both of you." Zhou Huayun took out a contract from the file bag and put it on the tea table, and said to Wu Gao: "This is a contract related to the company's artistes' entry, you can learn more about it first. Don’t rush to sign, you can take it back to a professional lawyer to have a look.”

Wu Gao picked up the coveted contract, which means that the other party can officially join the company and start his own star journey.

"There is also your salary for this filming. My secretary will take you to withdraw the money later."

"It's convenient to ask how many there are?"

Whether it is Wu Changyun or Gao Wu, the two of them didn't know how much they could get paid before shooting. This is actually a very unreasonable thing, especially when the two partners don't know each other very well.

"About eighty thousand Hong Kong dollars."

"Oh well."

Wu Gao nodded quickly. HKD [-] was a price above the industry standard in Hong Kong at that time, which showed that the other party fully recognized Wu Gao's value.

According to what I said before, there is only one choice between Wu Gao and Wu Changyun.At this time, Wu Gao was a little lucky, although the opponent's "New Wu Sheng" made a lot of noise in the previous stage, he was the one who won in the end.Wu Gao did not let the secretary wait any longer. He stood up and said goodbye to everyone present. He also specifically said to Wu Changyun: "Friend, go ahead. I will wait for you in the next step."

Wu Changyun smiled, he didn't understand why the other party chose Wu Gao, which performed worse at the box office.

"Since the company has chosen Wugao, what can I do today?"

"Of course." Lei Luo said and lifted a suitcase from the sofa and put it on the coffee table, and continued: "Open it and have a look."

Wu Changyun opened the suitcase, which was full of banknotes. To be honest, this was the first time Wu Changyun saw so much money. Although he was a little shocked at the first sight, he did not show too much excitement. Because Wu Changyun calculated before that the box office of "New Wusheng" reached 300 million in Hong Kong alone, and here a box is only 10,000+ at most, and it is impossible to go any higher.

Wu Changyun closed the suitcase and asked, "This is all my reward."

For the interests created by Wu Changyun, this amount of money is really not enough.Lei Luo was a little surprised. He and Zhou Huayun looked at each other. Both of them had seen Wu Changyun's resume. A martial artist with ten years of experience in martial arts was so calm when he saw so much cash.

"Of course it can't be that much, but cash has a special meaning these days, and I think you'll need it."

Lei Luo ordered Zhou Huayun to write a check for 300 million on the spot, and the check was placed on the coffee table. Wu Changyun saw that there were six zeros after the capital "three", which was a number far exceeding his expectations.Lai Luo added: "Your film made a total of 500 million including the proceeds from overseas screenings and sales. You deserve the 300 million."

"Frankly speaking, Hua Yun and I agree that you are a genius, how about it? Do you want to join the company?" Lei Luo asked.

Wu Changyun hesitated for a moment. He knew very well that Lei Luo would go downhill in the coming 74 years, and his assets would inevitably be liquidated by the ICAC in the future, even though the company did not bear Lei Luo's name.

"The current cooperation method adopted by the company is dividends and wages. After our consideration, you can get 450 million in the company every year without any share. As for the proportion of share, we can talk about it slowly." Zhou Huayun can see that the situation in front of me People have high vision.A mere two or three million won't impress him.

In fact, Wu Changyun is not entangled with money at all. If it was changed to before time travel, he would be a bastard if he had money but didn’t make money, but now is Wu Changyun’s golden age. In an innovative shooting, Wu Changyun still has many classic scripts and ideas that have not been shown. He is not worried about not having good works, nor is he afraid of not being popular.

"I want to think about it again."

Wu Changyun wanted to refuse in person but had no suitable reason. From a practical point of view, in terms of power, funds and treatment, this was undoubtedly Wu Changyun's best choice.Although major film companies will come to visit in the future, judging from the current competitive relationship in the Hong Kong film industry, it is not a wise choice not to give Lei Luo face in advance.

"Think about it again?" Zhou Huayun's complexion was a little strange, beside Lei Luo, the biggest tiger in Hong Kong, and the unprecedented remuneration and dividends, she still didn't impress Wu Changyun.

"Yes."

"You may not be able to find such a good contract in Hong Kong." Zhou Huayun said dumbfounded.

"It's okay, let him think about it again." Lei Luo took a deep breath, pointed to his watch with a kind smile and said to Wu Changyun: "Call me when you think about it, I have something else to do."

Lei Luo put on his coat and left, leaving Zhou Huayun alone with a puzzled look on his face, while Wu Changyun left the company building with the salary he deserved.

"The first pot of gold, 380 million, not bad."

Wu Changyun was holding the suitcase and the check in his arms, and suddenly felt like he was in a movie.He also has a private banquet to attend in the evening. The banquet will be hosted by two big guys from Shaw Brothers and Jiahe. Many familiar faces may appear at this banquet.

At first, it was Chen Sisi who sent him an invitation. Wu Changyun was very surprised when he received the invitation. The other party should have brought Great Wall Pictures to contact him.A few days later, Wu Changyun received invitation letters from internal employees of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest at the same time. There was an awards ceremony in this banquet, and Wu Changyun was on the table as a special guest.

It is not safe to suddenly have this extra sum of money in his hand. Wu Changyun plans to use part of it to let Fushun engage in real estate. Chang Sihu's business is also good, but this person always makes Wu Changyun a little worried. think about it.
