I haven't been a boss for many years

"Taiwan Island is holding you accountable. You can shirk to Hollywood's Amblin Entertainment and let them sanction Amblin Entertainment. Taiwan is qualified to sanction Hollywood. If you are not qualified, be careful of big Hollywood directors." Find a congressman to give them eye drops!"

Even if the whole Xiangjiang knows that Zhang Guobin participated in the production of "ET Aliens", as long as there is a plausible excuse on the surface, Tai Dao will not dare to jump up and scold. You know, Hollywood is Tai Dao's father.

Zhang Guobin was also able to achieve public opinion in Xiangjiang. After some operations, he even got the benefits of eliminating and beating.

"As for the release of "ET Aliens" in the mainland, it will be handed over to Mr. Yuan's Yindu agency."

"Shaolin Temple, which was released in Yindu at the beginning of the year, is a classic of kung fu movies. So far, it has earned more than 3000 million box office in the mainland. With a ticket price of [-] cents per ticket, it broke the box office record in Xiangjiang film history."

"You guys know how big the mainland market will be in the future."

Zhang Guobin tapped the question lightly.

Shao Yifu, Zou Huaiwen, and Boss Lei all knew immediately,

Boss Zhang is waking them up.

The mainland market is not big!

Do you want to do it in the future!

Boss Lei hesitated and said, "Liason Cinemas can cooperate with the four-tier screening."

As the owner of the new theater chain, he lacked confidence and was able to join at a great risk.

Zou Huaiwen got the overseas distribution rights for the rest of the region, and simply gritted his teeth: "Okay, the four-tier joint screening counts as Golden Harvest."

"Okay." Zhang Guobin nodded in satisfaction.

He handed over the overseas distribution to Golden Harvest simply because Golden Harvest had low margins, and a part of it was cut off before. From the perspective of saving money, Zou Huaiwen is still very good.

Yifu Shao had great expectations for the mainland market, and sighed: "Yes, the four-line screening of "ET Alien" may be a journey destined by history."

"Since this is the case, let's sign the contract." Zhang Guobin crossed his legs and looked excited. He raised his hands and clapped twice. The female secretary immediately opened the door: "Mr. Zhang."

"Bring me the contract."

Zhang Guobin shouted.

Immediately, the female secretary brought in the contract, and the four theaters reviewed it and signed the contract on the spot.

Yuan Yangan returned to Yindu Institute, Liu Wenyan was sitting in the office with a tense expression, smoking a cigarette, saw him come back, immediately got up and said: "Mr. Yuan, how are the talks going on with the theaters?"

"Hehe, we've reached a conclusion." Yuan Yangan raised the corners of his mouth and said with a kind smile, ""ET Alien" will be shown in four screenings."

"Okay!" Liu Wenyan pinched out his cigarette, paced back and forth, and said excitedly, "This is a grand event in the Xiangjiang cultural circle. The four theaters have put aside their political stances, and they are only for a good movie. It deserves a special mention." , making a big splash."

"Haha, Xiangjiang's momentum is still building up. Once the news of the four-line screening comes out, it will definitely spread throughout Xiangjiang."

"I'm going to report this matter back and try to get some preferential policies for Mr. Zhang," Liu Wenyan said.

"It should be, reciprocate, and don't chill the hearts of patriots." Yuan Yangan nodded in approval.

A week later, the citizens of Xiangjiang accidentally discovered that the entrances of the four theaters of Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, Lisheng, and Yindu had a poster of a movie, a Hollywood movie, "ET Aliens" hanging on the entrance of the theaters.

It has to be said that it is a miracle of the times to cover up a layer of Hollywood movie skin and engage in public opinion in private between China and Hong Kong.

"ET Extraterrestrial" was held in Hong Kong for 30 days, with a total box office revenue of 400 million, setting a new box office record in Hong Kong.

Among them, the Hollywood sci-fi films have a certain bonus in four-line screenings, but the joint production of DreamWorks has escaped the heavy taxation of imported films. Ten million box office movie, but because "ET Alien" has to share the bill with Amblin Entertainment, the ticket price is 3 to 5 yuan higher than other movies in the same year. Excellent, very willing to accept the high fare.

This film alone in Hong Kong and Hong Kong earned 1000 million Hong Kong dollars in box office revenue, and DreamWorks made a fortune. The box office in North America, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and the mainland has not yet been recorded. Among them, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea often become small heads. , the North American box office has become the top priority, and the earning is still in US dollars, and the number will be extremely scary.

Mr. Zhang can just wait for the money at the end of the year.

In Central, Shu Qi sat in the office of "Film Biweekly", twirling a pencil between his fingers, crossing out a name on a list on the desktop.

This Shu Qifei Bi Shuqi, male, is a well-known editor of Xiangjiang Culture, and is currently serving as the editor-in-chief of "Film Biweekly". "Film Biweekly" was founded by him, and has sold nearly [-] copies this year. He has a deep understanding of the film industry and film culture, and is acutely aware of the barbaric growth of the Hong Kong film and television industry, which lacks a professional film review publication and a professional film award.

In 1982, the Xiangjiang Film Awards was born for the first time. Through the broadcasting of Xiangjiang Radio, more than a dozen awards such as best film, best director, and best male and female starring were announced, which filled a gap in the Hong Kong film culture circle. After more than ten years Time will make the Hong Kong Film Awards one of the three major awards for Chinese-language films.

The other two are "Taiwan Golden Horse Award" and "Chinese Golden Rooster Award".

At this time, the first Golden Image Awards prepared by Shu Qi was about to open, and due to the poor development of Shaw Studios, he tried to expand its territory in the film and television industry, invested a lot of money in the Golden Image Awards, and agreed to broadcast it on TV. The award is much more generous than in history.

But after thinking about it, Shu Qi crossed out a name on the invitation list out of literati habit: "That's it."

He handed over the entire list to the clerk, and said: "Invite according to the list, and the awards ceremony will be held in the studio of the TVB building at the end of the month. Be sincere and hope that everyone who can attend will come."

Shu Qi didn't dare to show off. It was just held without any influence, commonly known as the "Pheasant Award". The source of influence depends on the ability of the organizer, and on the theaters. Whether the film company will give it or not , in short, it is true that the flames are high when everyone picks up materials.

"I understand, Mr. Shu." The editor nodded, took the list and left, and went to invite according to the list...

Wu Yusen, Li Dawei, Mai Jia, Gao Zhishen, Cheng Long, Hung Jingbao, Chu Yuan, all famous directors and stars, all of them received invitations and nomination letters for the awards ceremony, Shao Yifu, Zou Huaiwen and Lei Juekun. Received the same letter.

Zhang Guobin was informed by his secretary that the first Hong Kong Film Awards had already been held. He was a little surprised and said, "Why didn't anyone come to chat with me?"

He kept remembering the account from "Film Biweekly", thinking, when the Academy Awards are held, the other party should come to apologize, right?

But until now there was no movement at all, and he was directly ignored.

"Maybe you didn't nominate, and the organizer didn't notify you." The female secretary observed her words and said aloud.

"Oh, then he informed Shao Yifu, Zou Huaiwen, Lei Juekun, what, these three bosses directed the filming last year?" Zhang Guobin was in a bad mood.

The awards ceremony in 82 must be an inventory of 81. Zhang Guobin did not direct a movie in 81, but he starred in "The True Colors of Heroes II".

"No, Mr. Zhang." The female secretary said tremblingly, "Do you have any objections to the Golden Statue Awards?"

"I think they don't respect me." Zhang Guobin frowned and said, whoop, the female secretary's expression changed suddenly, and the boss said this, and the matter exploded.

Chapter 198 Establishing an Association

"Director Li, the big boss has a problem with the Golden Statue Awards, so be careful." The female secretary left the office, just happened to meet Li Dawei who was collecting water by the water dispenser, stepped on her high heels, and reminded her aloud.

Although Zhang Guobin has different secretaries in each company, and the female secretaries are all highly educated and good-looking professional clerks, but the female secretaries of different companies have the same status in each company.

There are people in the court who are easy to handle... This is not true for fools, and the women around the big boss must never touch, so Li Dawei, Wang Jing, even Wu Yusen, Zhou Runfa all have a good relationship with the secretary of the boss of DreamWorks.

After receiving the words from the boss, the secretary, out of emotion and reason, had to release it to Li Dawei and the others first.

"Is that so?"

Li Dawei was shocked.

"What's going on, tell me in detail." He asked again.

"I don't know the details." The secretary shook her head and said, "It seems that the big boss was not invited to the Academy Awards."

"Oh……"

Li Dawei nodded slightly.

"Thank you, I'll treat you to coffee next time." He knew it well. .

The female secretary smiled: "It's okay, it should be."

On weekdays, Li Dawei and others often gave her buffet coupons at the Peninsula Hotel, free redemption at movie theaters and other things...

Coffee is a substitute job, maybe it is another LV backpack.

There are many benefits to working with the big boss.

As the manager of DreamWorks, Li Dawei has to take good care of many aspects. The movie box office on his back is all supported by the big boss. Naturally, he has already figured out the ways of the world and knows what to do. When he returned to the office area, he bumped into Liang Chaowei and said: "Ah Wei, don't go to the Academy Awards."

Liang Chaowei won the Best Actor nomination for the Academy Awards by starring in the "Happy Ghost" series.

He was still a bit of a rookie mentality, he was fond of fame, he wanted to receive the small trophy, when he heard Li Dawei speak suddenly, he quickly asked, "Director Li, what's wrong?"

"The organizer of the Golden Statue Awards is at odds with the big boss." Li Dawei pointed to the ceiling, and Liang Chaowei was shocked: "Zhang Sheng is such a good person..."

"Oh, I'm sure the problem of those gangs rushing to the street."

"That's right, I won't take this trophy." Liang Chaowei said immediately.

"Fat boy." Li Dawei suddenly yelled towards Wang Jing's station, Wang Jing stood up and rubbed his head: "It's your soul, Li Lao!"

"I have something to tell you." Li Dawei stepped forward quietly, and whispered again. Immediately, Wang Jing turned pale with shock. Soon, a news spread throughout the entire DreamWorks, even to Zhou Runfa, Wu Yusen, and even Shaw Brothers. Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao and Zou Huaiwen of Golden Harvest heard it.

As for Zhu Baoyi, Wen Bixia, Li Lizhen, Zhao Yazhi...

Director Li didn't bother to talk one by one, anyway, the big boss would talk to the person next to him.

Zhang Guobin didn't think about this, so he made a phone call and called Wu Yusen, Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, Zhou Runfa, Chu Yuan, and Yuan Yangan to the Peninsula Hotel for tea.

"Boss Zhang."

"Mr. Zhang."

"Bingo." A group of big names among Xiangjiang filmmakers came to the box of the Peninsula Hotel one after another, pulled out the chairs and sat down, and greeted the hostess by different names.

Zhang Guobin put down the big brother in his hand, and nodded to Cheng Long who had just taken his seat: "Here we come, Aaron."

"Sorry, Zhang Sheng, I'm late."

Cheng Long bowed again and again.

"No." Zhang Guobin laughed.

"It's rare to see so many filmmakers sitting and chatting together. There are newcomers and old people. What's the matter with Mr. Zhang?" For a generation, usually a group of people never have the opportunity to sit together.

He didn't dare to disrespect Mr. Zhang, and asked bluntly after arriving at the scene.

"Ha ha."

"I'm not hiding it. I just recently had an idea to set up an organization for filmmakers. I don't know if some of you are free to join in and take the lead in setting up the organization."

"The filmmakers' own organization?"

Chu Yuan looked thoughtful.

His first reaction was that Mr. Zhang wanted to start a club again, but there were people from Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, directors, artists, and different industry backgrounds. If it is not true, then it can only be a trade association.

"That's right. At present, the four major theaters in the Xiangjiang film circle are fighting against each other. There are many companies. Mr. Chu and Mr. Yuan are all present. I don't shy away from saying that this kind of family relationship is harmful to Xiangjiang Films."

"I plan to take the lead in establishing a film art association, which includes the Directors Association, Artists Association, Screenwriters Association, etc. Each small association will select one to three people to join the Art Association as directors according to its size, and every three years. Running for the chairman, on the one hand, guarantees the interests of artists and directors, and on the other hand, it can also promote the development of Xiangjiang Films, so that Xiangjiang Films can escape from the disorderly competition of the barbaric era."

Chu Yuan, Yuan Yang'an, Cheng Long, and Hong Jingbao all began to meditate.

Undoubtedly, what Zhang Guobin said transcends the times. After all, the Xiangjiang Directors Association will not be established until next year, and once the industry association is established, it has social power and can directly negotiate conditions with the government, because an industry represents An economic bloodline, a series of people who make a living in the industry.

"I would like to appeal for Mr. Zhang, and prepare for the establishment of the film association and the artist association." Cheng Long always remembered the grace of saving his life, and said almost without thinking: "As long as Mr. Zhang supports things, I, Aaron, will support to the end! "

Now that Cheng Long is considered a member of DreamWorks, how could he not support the boss?

Like Hong Jingbao, he said very simply: "I am willing too."

Ah Fa nodded spontaneously. The three of them will be able to settle the Artists Association. After Wu Yusen thought about it, he agreed at the same time: "This is a beneficial thing. I support the establishment of the Directors Association."

"I also support it." Yuan Yangan said with a smile, and Chu Yuan also nodded: "It is indeed a good thing."

Every director and artist is a disadvantaged party of the studio. It is a good thing for everyone to have an association to keep warm.

"OK, I will personally bear the initial expenses of each association, and later collect membership fees based on the head." Zhang Guobin spread his hands.

Anyway, it is very difficult to lose money by running an association, especially a large association, because you can go to the government to make money, and you can also collect membership fees and activity fees. Maintaining an association is simple.

Zhang Guobin was just too lazy to make this money, otherwise, he would still be able to take advantage of it.

"Row."

Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao and others all nodded.

None of them are short of money.

In the beginning, Zhang Guobin led and funded this association. In the future, it will definitely fall under Zhang Guobin's control and become one of the social forces. They only need to rely on the strength of the association to protect their own interests, which is equivalent to having an extra backer.

Although the people who join the association in the future are very complicated, it is impossible for everyone to turn to Boss Zhang. An industry association should not reject people from other companies to join, but at least everyone will have an extra chance to get online. It is also better to talk to Boss Zhang.

Win-win!

It's just that Shao, Zou, and Lei, the three bosses, were stabbed in the back faintly!

"Ha ha."

"Then congratulate everyone on the establishment of the film association."

Zhang Guobin raised his teacup and gave a respectful circle.

Zhou Runfa, Cheng Long, Chu Yuan and others raised their teacups and congratulated them.

Zhang Guobin's establishment of the film association is of great significance to the Hong Kong film circle.

This is tantamount to maintaining popularity and orthodoxy.

Is the Academy Award very prestigious?
