Chapter 0115 sell face, talk about the theater

What Zou Wenhuai said was that the lawsuit between Shaw Brothers and Jiahe was caused by Wang Yu.

Although the brothers who followed Zou Wenhuai to leave Shaw Brothers were not as popular as before when they were lively and chasing the hen Sichen, they were enough to unite.

He Guanchang, Liang Feng and Cai Dusheng founded Jiahe together with Zou Wenhuai and set up the company's team; senior director Luo Wei, kung fu superstar Wang Yu and others also joined in.

Before Li Xiaolong, Wang Yu was the top martial arts star in Chinese films.

The box office of "One-Armed Knife" starring him exceeded one million, and it has produced a sequel with the box office of "One-Armed Knife King", which has become an IP of "One-Armed Knife".

Jiahe and his group of people "continue to work hard" and used the name of "one-armed sword" to make Wang Yu create a movie "One-armed sword vs. The Blind Man".

Now Shao Yifu quits!

In recent years, there have been many people leaving Shaw Brothers, including Li Hanxiang, Hu Jinquan, etc., and now there are Zou Wenhuai, Wang Yu, etc.

Shao Yifu didn't care, because he was a master in the film field for many years, which was enough to ensure that the structure of Shaw's film kingdom did not collapse, which was in line with the saying "Everyone left the earth will still turn."

But Jiahe is different in filming "One-Armed Knife vs. The Blind Man". It is a blatant move. Once the movie is released, it will rob the money of the "One-Armed Knife" IP without any hesitation.

Zou Wenhuai was prepared and invited the recognized master of the Xiangjiang legal community, Mr. Yu Shushao, to protect him; Shao Yifu, who was truly energetic, to invite a lawyer from the UK to serve as an agent, and to kill Zou Wenhuai.

Stance.

It is no exaggeration to describe that the story of Zou Wenhuai and Shao Yifu's love and killing has turned into a new chapter, which has stimulated the media and widened their eyes, for fear of missing any details.

Gao Xian just now tried to test Zou Wenhuai whether he was interested in competing with Shaw Brothers and recruiting Li Xiaolong; Zou Wenhuai made excuses and acted as a dilemma, which may have been timid towards Shao Yifu during the current sensitive period.

Gao Xian did not point out Zou Wenhuai's strong and hard work at the moment, and suggested gently: "If Boss Zou rests with Gao, I am willing to support Jiahe in terms of funds and reach a cooperation with Li Xiaolong."

After a moment of frightened, Zou Wenhuai smiled and said, "Mr. Gao is the most dazzling star in the Central Financial District. I have nothing to worry about whether it is credit or financial resources."

"Besides, the way I make movies is completely different from Shaw's large studio system. I advocate a very open producer system. If I have funds to come in, I would like to see that it will benefit from the benefits."

"This is also the focus of the conflict between Shaw Brothers and I. I believe the media has already introduced it in a broad daylight, and I will definitely not change the order every day."

Seeing that Zou Wenhuai did not object, Gao Xian nodded slightly with satisfaction.

Of course, Gao Xian would only choose to believe half of Zou Wenhuai's words.

In Gao Xian's view, the fundamental reason why Zou Wenhuai's departure from Shaw Brothers was that the company's struggle was defeated. However, Zou Wenhuai himself has always used the disagreement of ideas as a fig leaf, and the media is also keen on this pure and noble reason.

The so-called disagreement of ideas means that in film management, Zou Wenhuai wanted to implement the producer system, while Shao Yifu continued to adhere to the large studio system that drew on the Golden Age of Hollywood to help him create a film kingdom.

According to Gao Xian's understanding, Shaw Brothers' large studio system is to establish and maintain a set of strict rules with powerful resources. The boss is the supreme emperor, and the others are workers and have no right to share the dividends of the success of the film.

Only a fixed salary can be received.

He also took Wang Yu, the top kung fu star in Hong Kong as an example. When he first joined Shaw Brothers, his monthly salary was only HK$200; later it increased to HK$800, plus a pay of HK$1,200 for each movie made.

By this calculation, Wang Yu's average monthly income is around HK$6,000.

On the other hand, Wang Yu created huge box office revenue for Shaw Brothers. Each box office of "One-Armed Knife" and "One-Armed Knife" alone exceeded HK$1 million.

Faced with such a huge contrast, even those who have no ambitions will have an unbalanced mentality. Moreover, Wang Yu is still a restless person.

In response to this disadvantage, when Zou Wenhuai was still at Shaw Brothers, he suggested to Shao Yifu that he would imitate the current popular dividend system in Hollywood, so that big-name directors and actors could enjoy dividends, and thus stabilize people's hearts.

Shao Yifu is famous for his business and is very careful in his budget. In addition, Shaw Brothers Film Company is already the only one who has no rivals, so there is no need to worry about his top cards being poached, and he is even more unwilling to share more money to others.

In essence, there is an irreconcilable conflict of interests between the boss and the employee.

Shao Yifu's point of view is: I discovered you and made you famous. Without me, you would not be able to have you; therefore, you should be grateful and bend your head to serve the kind master for the rest of your life; and I will make you more red and purple,

No good food and clothing.

People like Wang Yu will think like this: You made me famous, and I will also bring you huge profits. We are basically clear about both. I will remember your kindness for life, but I cannot be poor for life - just satisfying you

The promised food and clothing are free of worries. What's more, how can we be free of food and clothing? Movies are a youthful meal with fierce competition. What should I do when I get old? What should I do when my company falls? Everyone in Xiangjiang wants to get rich, why do we

cannot?

Compared to Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai's attitude is much more open-minded, turning the employment relationship between master and servant into an equal cooperative relationship, shouting "If you have money, everyone will make money."

Of course, charity is not in charge of military affairs, righteousness is not in charge of finance, and Zou Wenhuai is not a kind man and a trustworthy woman, but he has just changed to a model of exploitation.

After Jiahe also became the overlord, Zou Wenhuai could clearly understand the local box office dividends in Xiangjiang, but the richer overseas box office would be put into his own pocket.

As a result, Hong Jinbao and others also became the new generation of restless "Wang Yu".

In short, any glory of human society cannot be separated from "fuel" and "flower fertilizer".

The producer system advocated by Zou Wenhuai seems to put itself in the interests of filmmakers, but it may be a helpless act that is forced to be insufficient financial resources in front of you.

The so-called producer system is that those who hold the power of life and death in the film are no longer the boss of the production company, but money.

According to the principle of "whoever invests and enjoys the rights and interests", the division of rights and interests of the film is determined by the amount of investment and efforts of all parties.

When Zou Wenhuai specifically implemented the producer system, his methods were more flexible.

It’s no problem to have wholly owned, and a joint venture is also possible. Jiahe is willing to leave the factory bid and will be in charge of the filming.

In this way, the contradiction of Jiahe's lack of funds has not only been resolved, but also reduced operating risks.

Naturally, as soon as Gao Xian expressed his willingness to cooperate, Zou Wenhuai happily agreed.

Gao Xian thought about it and asked the most core question, "Who will contact Li Xiaolong?"

Zou Wenhuai, who is in a lawsuit with Shaw Brothers Film Company, was indeed afraid that Shao Yifu might be crazy and was so excited that he found another excuse: "At present, Jiahe urgently needs a first-line actress, so he is concentrating resources to fight for Zheng Peipei's franchise."

"I understand." Gao Xian snapped his fingers, "I'm responsible for contacting Li Xiaolong."

Zou Wenhuai smiled and said, "Those who are capable work hard, Mr. Gao has worked hard."

Seeing Zou Wenhuai's obvious relief, Gao Xian couldn't help but feel funny, "Are you afraid of being heavy when you pick it lightly?"

"Although you are familiar with Shao Yifu's careful calculations, you don't understand Li Xiaolong's arrogant heart. They are destined to fail to reach a deal."

"Compared with the difficulty of lobbying Li Xiaolong for cooperation, how to get along with Li Xiaolong during the filming of the movie is a tiring job."

Taking advantage of Zou Wenhuai's feeling that he had taken advantage of himself, Gao Xian said, "According to the plan, the production time of "Seventy-Two Tenants" is two weeks. So, the release time will come soon. I want to go to theaters

, please help me contact us.”

Zou Wenhuai nodded happily, "Although Jiahe has not had time to build its own theater chain yet, I have been in the industry for many years and have accumulated a lot of resources to help with the activities."

“For example, theatres of international institutions should be fine.”

Gao Xian asked again: "As far as I know, Shaw Brothers Cinema is the largest cinema in Xiangjiang. Is it possible that it will release "Seventy-Two Tenants"?"

Zou Wenhuai shrugged, "It depends on Mr. Gao's face. After all, Shaw's own film production is very high."

Gao Xian raised his eyebrows and said to himself, "Is this a test of my energy? Then I really have to give it a try."
