I haven't been a boss for many years

Da Bohao threw the cigarette on the ground, crushed it hastily with his feet, pulled the driver's seat and sat down, started the Hutou Mercedes, and drove away from Jiahe Building.

Every time Zhang Guobin talks about business, he will bring Da Bo Hao, one is to show the power of the club, and the other is to give Da Bo Hao a boost.

"Is it good for us to disturb their theater?" Zhang Guobin tapped the door handle with his fingers, and said slowly: "Only Shao Xiaoliu and Boss Lei are happy."

"In the final analysis, our movies still have to be drawn on Golden Harvest."

"But these businessmen are aggressive and don't take us seriously." Da Bohao snarled at each other: "I wanted to shovel him on the spot!"

"Why open a cinema and draw money, it's more than a casino!"

platform pumping,

It's like a tax!

It is nothing more than one is that the country is oriented to the whole people, and the other is that the platform is oriented to the industry.

There is a saying in later generations,

What to do is not as good as a platform,

Ordinary people have no ability to fight against the platform, but they are also oppressed by the platform so badly that they can only scold the capitalists every day. As a white paper fan of the society, Da Bohao knows nothing about business and only knows how to shovel people's white paper fans. Of course, the first thought is Get rid of Zou Huaiwen's family, lest the boss be slaughtered like a pig.

Zhang Guobin knew that he couldn't, he shook his head and sighed, "It's hard to do business, and it's even more difficult to do proper business."

"I have brothers to support me, Zou Huaiwen dare not go too far, otherwise it will be unknown whether Universal DreamWorks' movie will start shooting."

"In business, it's normal for the big fish to eat the small fish, and for the old to overwhelm the new."

"Can our movies still not be painted?"

to be honest.

Still suffer from lack of a platform.

"Even if we take "Happy Ghost" to Shaw Brothers for painting, the conditions offered by Shaw Brothers will not be good."

"Because they know that they can't hold us down, they can't buy us, so they can only tear their face apart, want to suck our blood, knock our bone marrow."

"Fortunately, the only difference between a regular business and a side business is that the two partners always have a bottom line. If you get a lot, you should exchange something."

"At least Golden Harvest's resources of directors and actors are open to us again, and we will have a wider range of movie choices next time." Zhang Guobin sighed.

If he invited Wu Yusen from Golden Harvest earlier,

It counts as a chicken stealing success,

Well, now that Golden Harvest’s resource bank is fully open, Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, Yuan Kui, Lin Zhengxing and other martial artists, directors, and star lineups all have the opportunity to cooperate with DreamWorks, and exchange a small share of a movie for superstars. The resource library, to be precise, is not a loss.

Universal DreamWorks can make new expectations for the quantity, quality and box office of next year's productions.

In Zou Huaiwen's view, this is only an appropriate concession, but to Zhang Guobin, it is a huge benefit.

After all, the resource bank is open to you, and you may not be able to use it. Cheng Long and Hong Jingbao are all kung fu superstars, with tens of millions of box office hits, why should they cooperate with you?

Zhang Guobin is not false at all.

Will this group of people not shoot big dramas that are tailor-made and open up the way?

They are all very smart people.

If Zhang Guobin had enough capital, he would even be sure to recruit people to "steal back" and "job-hopping". Unfortunately, in the 80s, star contracts were tightly bound, and he was strict about rules, paying attention to being close to the mountains, and forming a school of his own, such as Sammo Hung and Golden Harvest's "treasure". Wo", Wu Yusen, To Qifeng and other film studios, such as Cheng Long and Emperor's "Cheng Long Emperor"...

Job hopping was not popular at all. It was not until the 90s and 00s that poaching people and paying liquidated damages became popular. At that time, if you poach a lot of tickets, DreamWorks will sooner or later dig up Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers into empty shells.

However, under the premise of huge benefits, cooperation must be possible to lure them back?

Have a chance to give it a try.

What's more, the contract between Golden Harvest and Zhang Guobin stipulates that a film will be shown in Golden Harvest, but not in theaters such as Shaw Brothers and Golden Princess... It is an exclusive agreement for a single film, not an exclusive agreement for the entire film company.Zhang Guobin will release two films at the end of the year, and there is another film that can be released outside Golden Harvest. The first choice is Shaw Brothers.

A shrewd businessman must know how to make use of the advantages in the contract. A first-class business must know how to expand the advantages in the contract. A top-level business must know how to earn more advantages.

To do business is to know how to cheat and how to cheat reasonably.

Take a look at the mansions and villas next to Victoria Harbour. Who is not a big liar?Not an executioner?

Zhang Guobin tried his best to clean up his crimes only for his own future and future, but he did not think that all the gangsters are evil people, and those who do righteous deeds are all good people. It is nothing more than boating from one river and lake to another. The waves on the sea will never stop at peace .

However, Ah Hao is right in saying one thing. When you go out to do business, you can bow your head for a while, and you can give up profits for a while, but you must not be tied to a wooden stick for singeing and slaughtered like piglets!

To bow one's head once is Yue Wang Goujian, to bow one's head all one's life is despicable!Universal DreamWorks has made many arrangements in the film field, and it is impossible to give up the initiative in terms of platforms. It has been working as a wage earner for the three major theaters, and it must have its own platform no matter what.

Although DreamWorks does not have a huge amount of capital right now, nor does it have an official background, and to form a new theater chain is equivalent to a dream, but it must always be kept in mind, as a goal to achieve a big event...

What's more, if you don't work as a wage earner in the three major theater chains, you don't have to set up your own theater chain.

The establishment of a theater chain may be used as a sign of success in the last step.

First find a theater chain that you can negotiate with as a backer?This might be easier.

Sitting in the Mercedes-Benz car, Zhang Guobin began to fall into deep thought. He didn’t want to be a wage earner in the three major theaters, so it’s not impossible to find a big tree next to him. On the contrary, this way is very good!

Xiangjiang obviously has four major theaters, excluding the three capitalist vampire theaters, Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, and Princess Golden, as well as Shuangnan Cinemas!

The most critical soul torture came.

Are you patriotic or not?

Xiangjiang Leftist Cinema Line Shuangnan Cinema Line is a propaganda station for the motherland in Xiangjiang. Although it mainly plays leftist patriotic films, it does not exclude commercial films. On the contrary, Shuangnan Cinema Line’s commercial films are doing very well. In a capitalist society, try to implement "one country, two systems"... The main production studios under its umbrella are "New Great Wall", "Phoenix" and so on... Among them, New Great Wall and Phoenix production are the main ones.

In 1981, the Great Wall Film Company and Xinlian Film Company jointly established a "Central Plains Film Production Company", which mainly made Kung Fu films in Mandarin. In the same year, it produced a milestone film in Chinese film - "Shaolin Temple".

In 1982, Great Wall, Xinlian, and Phoenix merged to form Yindu Agency, and produced a series of films such as "Lust, Caution", "The Witness", "Peach Blossom", "Eavesdropping", "Love Near At Hand" and so on.. ....

Who said that leftist theaters don't talk about business?

on thighs,

Has Xiangjiang ever competed with this one?

Chapter 77 Standing and earning money

Zhang Guobin sat in the car, lowered the window, and the breeze blew in, causing his hair to sway slightly.

Holding a cigarette with your fingertips,

Rubbing gently, I thought to myself: "I'm really patriotic!"

Every Chinese nation is patriotic.

It is a great nation in itself.

Needless to say.

What's more, Zhang Guobin's work in his previous life had to be extremely high-spirited, familiar with various ideas, full of great principles, patriotic, and also better understand historical evolution and the world pattern.If he had expressed his patriotic attitude and sentiments to all walks of life before the end of the Sino-British negotiations in 1984, he might have suffered a small loss for a while, but in the long run it would definitely be a big profit.

If he managed to get on the train of Shuangnan Cinemas before the establishment of Zhongyuan Film Production Company in 1981, he might be able to get a share of the reorganization of Leftist Film Company.

At present, the content rigidity of leftist film production companies in Hong Kong Island is an obvious feature, and they are eager to find new breakthroughs.

Just like Shaw Brothers struggling to survive in old-school kung fu movies,

Leftist film companies also need innovation and change.

Don't think everyone is stupid,

The "New Wave Movement" in the Hong Kong art world has swept all film companies, newspapers, and TV stations. The reason for the "New Wave Movement" is to remove the aesthetic fatigue of the citizens and the change of thinking, and it is also related to the ever-changing social outlook, economic development, and undercurrents of Hong Kong. Tit-for-tat political situation.

Zhang Guobin broke into the Xiangjiang film world,

The mad wolf who directly detonated the new wave movement in advance,

He is the latest and most popular new blood in Hong Kong film industry!

It is exactly what the major film companies are eager for,

From the attitudes of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest towards him while restraining and cooperating, it can be seen how much the major movies appreciate his new blood and how much they need him, even though his blood is full of quackery , his works are full of quackery, and he is also an undisputed cutting-edge producer, a new force in the film industry,

How can such a movie owner with blood in the rivers and lakes find any sparks in the leftist theaters of patriotic movies?

It's an amazing chemistry...

And Zhang Guobin didn't immediately go to the leftist theaters to discuss cooperation. First, the terms of cooperation for the new movie had already been finalized by the end of the year, and being too impatient seemed unfashionable. Second, his current reputation in the film industry is not stable enough!

The results of "The True Colors of Heroes" are too weak. After the two films are released at the end of the year and win a big box office, it will be more important to talk to the person in charge of Shuangnan Cinemas. The person in charge of Shuangnan Cinemas can contact the director of the Hong Kong Office. , has a close relationship with the Propaganda Department of the Mainland, Guangdong Provincial Customs, and the Public Security Bureau. Youdao is the high ground of public opinion. If you don’t occupy it, others will.

Don't underestimate the patriotic propaganda in the current situation. The motherland is determined to regain Xiangjiang as an external window of economy and trade. It will definitely pay special attention to any star director or club leader in Xiangjiang. The premise, the premise is that it must be patriotic.

Think about it, Zhongyuan Production Company was able to produce "Shaolin Temple" in 1981 and release it in 1982. What kind of thought did it convey?What is the attitude?

"Shaolin Temple" won a box office of 1615.8 million in Xiangjiang, and set a box office of 1.6 million yuan at a price of [-] cents a ticket in the mainland in that era of scarcity of materials. attention from all walks of life.

Although his film company can easily be labeled as a leftist as long as his film company is on the canvas of Shuangnan Cinemas, and Universal DreamWorks is also easily labeled as a leftist film company. I want to show it in Taiwan.

At present, the Taiwanese film market is the cornucopia of Xiangjiang Film Company, just like the mainland market in later generations, it can make Xiangjiang Film Company earn a lot of money, although the current Taiwan Island market is like a vast ocean and a pool Tanshui, but considering the factors of the times, the Taiwan Island film market is often something that Xiangjiang Film Company refuses to give up.

At that time, Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers may compress the cooperation space, and Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao and others will also feel jealous.

However, if you invest in advance, you must be able to withstand the ups and downs, and you must be patient. What is a small loss?Shuangnan Cinemas has a good relationship with the late "China Film Group", and "China Film Group" is the only film company in the mainland that has the right to import foreign films. The group's line, exporting movies to the mainland (although it is the same country, but there are ports/exit and entry inspections, counting as overseas), I don't know how well it has developed since the 90s. At that time, Zhou Runfa, Johnnie To, Tsui Hark, Xu Anhua, etc. all quit. When I came to Yindu, I was interested in the relationship with China Film Group behind it.

In the 90s and 00s, the Hong Kong movies broadcast in the Mainland were all reviewed and imported by China Film Group.

In addition to Zhang Guobin's film company under his personal name, there are also various industries under the association hall,

With the opening of Shenzhen Bay,

The miracle of the world's second largest economy in the mainland (the largest economy in the future),

What Zhang Guobin values ​​is by no means a single film industry,

But the whole country, the fate of China!

What's more, Taiwan's political situation is currently very chaotic, and the political thinking of the entire region is competing with each other. On the one hand, there is no room for ambitious people, and on the other hand, money worship has become popular. Under the collusion between the umbrella and the black forces, black gold politics prevails. Some labels are not impossible to settle, the key is the means used.

Zhang Guobin has the strength to think that all operable problems are not considered problems.

Whether or not Universal DreamWorks is a leftist film company depends on what Taiwan's film industry says, but what Taiwan's political circles say... I just want to stand!

Make money on both sides!

At the end of November, "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" was completed.

Zhang Guobin brought Li Dawei to Shaw Brothers to discuss cooperation.

Li Dawei is an old employee of Shaw TV Station, and he has a good relationship with Shao Liuzi. Although he can't talk about face, he is a bit of a lover, and it is much more convenient to talk about things. After the samples, it was recognized that DreamWorks' new film had the potential to sell well.

Shao Yifu sat on the sofa, drinking tea and said, "I never thought that Mr. Zhang is also very good at organizing. Newcomers, old people, and everyone can start working together?"

"The film produced is also very good, really good at making movies."

Just as Shao Yifu glanced at Li Dawei without a trace, Li Dawei laughed and ignored him. He is an outstanding talent sent to the society by Shaw Brothers. I am so grateful to Shao Yifu!

Zhang Guobin said with a smile: "Mr. Shao has a great reputation, let's talk about the conditions for painting?"

As for organizational skills?

Who the hell do you look down on!This level of organizational ability is in vain in my previous life!

Chapter 78 On the painting, box office

"My conditions are very simple. The share ratio is the same as Golden Harvest, and the terms of cooperation are also the same as Golden Harvest. If you agree, print the contract and sign it immediately." Shao Yifu leaned slightly on the armrest of the sofa, holding a teacup and said straightforwardly.

After the two have cooperated once, a lot of twists and turns can be saved.

Zhang Guobin nodded slightly: "Is Shaw's artist library open to DreamWorks for free?"

"Free access?" Yifu Shao frowned: "Is Golden Harvest's artist library open to your company for free? Mr. Zhang, are you kidding me?"

"Golden Harvest has as many famous artists as Shaw Brothers. What's more, Golden Harvest is more important than the director and martial arts team. Famous stars have their own companies." Zhang Guobin pointed out.

"This is actually a kind of free opening."

"Do I still value the other stars of Golden Harvest, or do I still value the directors of the Shaw Brothers?" It's not that the directors of the Shaw Brothers are not good, but there are too few available.

In the final analysis, TVB is really a good place to continuously create stars. The TVB artist training class is full of talents. If you watch Golden Harvest, you will look at the director, and if you watch Shaw Brothers, you will look at the artists. The two film companies have their own priorities. Even if Shaw Brothers stops producing , TVB stars can spend another 20 years just by making TV series.

Shao Yifu was speechless.

Zhang Guobin continued: "And I chose "Province and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" to be screened in Shaw Brothers theaters, which continued the violent aesthetics of "The True Colors of Heroes". This is a guarantee for Shaw Brothers at the box office. Shaw is losing money."

"I will also try my best to release more suitable movies on Shaw Brothers."

As for the subject matter and genre of the suitable movie, and how much it earns,
