Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

Let's move on to the next question.

Hearing Xu Cun's words, Xi Xiangquan stood up and said: Mr. Xu, as of April 24th, they have more than 250 Taiwan-funded Hong Kong films that have not been delivered on schedule. We ask them to It should be done as soon as possible.

On this issue, a group of filmmakers in Xiangjiang also discussed in private, and finally reached a consensus-this is indeed a problem on their side.

therefore--

The people on the Xiangjiang side looked at each other, and finally Xiang Huasheng stood up first and said: Among the Taiwan-invested and Hong Kong films that our Chinese star participated in, there are still five films that have not been delivered on time. I will supervise these five films. Finish the project as soon as possible, and as for the losses caused to Taiwan Bend investors, I hope everyone can coordinate in private, and I promise to give some compensation.”

Huang Baiming then got up and said: We have seven Hong Kong-funded Taiwanese films in Xinyi City that have not been delivered on time, and we will also urge these seven films to be completed as soon as possible. As for the losses caused to Taiwan investors, we will also give certain compensation. compensate.

Chen Rongmei also got up and said: Xinbao has four parts, I guarantee that these four parts will be delivered on schedule within two months, and I will also give a certain amount of compensation.

...

In the end, even Wang Jiawei stood up and said: Well... I will finish filming Evil and West Poison as soon as possible. As for the loss caused to Mr. Cai, I am willing to give up two points of the Taiwanese box office to Mr. Cai. As compensation for Chairman Mao's delay in delivering the film.

People on the Xiangjiang side stood up to express their opinions, which undoubtedly eased the atmosphere on both sides!

Subsequently, a group of filmmakers in Taiwan also expressed their views:

Xu Anjin got up and said, Since you all have the sincerity to solve the problem, we are not the ones to be unreasonable. I, Xu Anjin, will say a word here. As long as your sincerity is true and reliable, I will never make things difficult for you!

Qiu Fusheng then got up and said: What Lao Xu said is that we are here to solve the problem, not to cause trouble for no reason, so I also promise that I will only ask for reasonable compensation for the few films I invested in. No lion will open its mouth!

Cai Songlin got up, then looked at Wang Jiawei and said, Just a little bit, you just finish filming Evil, West, Poison as soon as possible.

...

Seeing that both parties performed well on this issue, Xu Cun said: Only when everyone is friendly can we make money, okay... Then I will give you a week for this matter, and you both discuss a time limit that is mutually acceptable, and then form a written agreement. The contract, whoever breaks the contract, I will send my team of lawyers to unconditionally help punish the breaching party, and I will also completely block those filmmakers who have no integrity and only care about making money.

Xu Cun's words undoubtedly cut off the retreat of the group of people who had just patted their chests to ensure that this group of people could not say one thing and back another, and then comprehensively solve this problem.

Xu Cun said again: Let's talk about the last question, standardize the salary of stars.

This time, Xu Guanwen was the first to stand up and said: It is only natural for artists to get paid for filming. The level of salary is determined by the market. No one has the right to lower the artist's salary. Only the market has this right!

Luo Jie stood up and said: You are not the only ones who want to lower the salary of celebrities, we also have this wish, but you only recognize celebrities and not movies. If a celebrity finds more people, the salary will naturally increase, and the higher the increase, the higher the salary. Gao, so, this problem is on your side, not on our side, as long as you recognize movies and not stars in the future, the salary of stars will naturally come down.

Xiang Huaqiang stood up and said, Lao Luo is right. If there were no big names, you would still buy our films. Do we have to spend a lot of money to find those big names to make movies?

A group of film dealers in Taiwan looked at each other, and finally Yang Dengkui stood up and said: Without big names, films can't be sold in Taiwan. Now everyone is playing the commission method. You are willing to take this risk. We have no objection, anyway, we have to pay everyone a piece of compensation.

As soon as Yang Dengkui's words came out, everyone fell silent!

This is a deadlock - you must know that dark horses rarely appear. Under normal circumstances, movies without big directors and celebrities will have no box office appeal, and if you want to hire big directors and celebrities, you have to spend a lot of money , In this way, the worth of great directors and celebrities will naturally skyrocket.

At this time, everyone looked at Xu Cun, hoping that Xu Cun could come forward to solve this problem.

After scanning around, Xu Cuncai said: The salary of a celebrity cannot be suppressed. If we set a salary of two million for a certain celebrity, will he really be obedient? Are you really following the standard of five million? I went to hire him, but another company offered 6 million yuan, who do you think he will agree to act for?

After a pause, Xu Cun continued: There is no thirty to fifty million yuan, and I want to gather big names, but I can only get a movie that can handle things. Therefore, if you want to play a big production, you can invest more money. It's okay. It's easy to say, it's okay if you don't want to invest more money, just honestly find one or two big names to support your appearance, match more cheap newcomers, and then put more effort into movies, you can also get good results, and, once There are more people who invest in this way, and fewer people are looking for big coffees. The value of many so-called big coffees will naturally drop. It's worth that price, and no one is qualified to lower their value.

Xu Cun's words made the filmmakers in Taiwan speechless to refute.

In the end, they could only reluctantly accept that this was not the result—after all, it was extremely unrealistic to forcibly lower the star's salary, and it would be meaningless to continue to struggle.

At the same time, there are some people who are thinking, If you invest 20 million yuan, you still have to make a big bad movie with a lot of big names, and you have to lose money if you specify it. Why don't you try to invest in a film that Xu Cun said to find one or two. A movie with a big guy supporting the facade may have unexpected gains...

Ordinarily, the matter has come to an end here.

but--

Xu Cun considered that the filmmakers in Xiangjiang had suffered a big loss when they changed the method of buying films from Taiwanese filmmakers to the commission method. Moreover, no one had come forward to refute him. Respecting his own approach, Xu Cun said again: Since the method of buying films has been changed to a commission method, our Xiangjiang side may lack the necessary start-up funds, so I personally set up a film exhibition support with one billion Hong Kong dollars. Fund', which is specially used to provide financial support to film companies, directors, and crews that have cooperated with Taiwan.

The owner of this 'Film Exhibition Support Fund' is still Xu Cun. Xu Cun just lent some money to these Xiangjiang film companies as start-up capital, and also charged some fees appropriately. To put it bluntly, this is also a kind of investment —an investment with little return.

but--

Although this is also a business, it can solve the great difficulties of film companies, directors, and crews who have no money to make films.

Therefore, seeing that Xu Cun offered another one billion to support them to cooperate with Taiwanese filmmakers, some people who had just slandered Xu Cun stopped their slander, and instead believed that it was right to believe that Xu Cun sought justice from Xu Cun. The role of the first person in the film industry is the savior of Hong Kong films.
