Reborn Capital Madman

On the plane back to Xiangjiang from the United States, after Gao Xian saw Li Xiaolong, he naturally started thinking about him.

However, apart from taking care of family affairs, Gao Xian did not take any profit-driven actions. Because he knew clearly in his heart that the first soup could only be tasted by the Shaw Brothers movie empire.

The reason is very simple. Li Xiaolong, who is proud and arrogant, claims to be in Hollywood. Although he has not made any real achievements at this time, the level is different after all. After coming to Xiangjiang, which is a rural area compared to the United States, he will definitely demand the most.

Top-notch cooperation resources, as a result, it seems that only the dominant Shaw Brothers can provide them.

After getting off the plane, Gao Xian saw the huge media welcome group, which also reflected Li Xiaolong's popularity in Hong Kong.

In this way, under the attention of the media and through Li Xiaolong's good friend Xiao Qilin, Shaw Brothers Film Company started talks with Li Xiaolong.

This cooperation does not depend on the media’s wishful thinking and encouragement. In the end, it must be measured by interests.

Shao Yifu was definitely not like those peddlers who were fooled by the media and were full of expectations. He really thought that Li Xiaolong was some kind of international superstar at this time.

In Shao Daheng's eyes, Li Xiaolong, who was a child star in Hong Kong when he was a child and has now returned from the United States, is no different from other actors. Naturally, he will not violate his long-standing principles in negotiating terms.

Regarding this point, Gao Xian can understand Shao Yifu's thoughts.

At present, Li Xiaolong has indeed not developed any real achievements in Hollywood. It was only the TV series "The Green Hornet" that he participated in a few years ago that did not have outstanding ratings in the United States. It was outsourced and broadcast by a TV station here in Hong Kong, and he was

The Hong Kong media, which had little knowledge, were shocked and started to hype it up.

This phenomenon is also understandable. As the economy in the category of hardware begins to take off, Xiangjiang naturally needs to find a source of pride in software. It cannot hope for the glory of a great country that can reach heaven and earth, so it can only catch up with it.

At this point, it’s Li Xiaolong who has made “significant achievements” in the United States.

In fact, Li Xiaolong returned to Xiangjiang to visit relatives this year and was hyped up by the media in Xiangjiang. This may not be without tacit cooperation.

Prior to this, Li Xiaolong was shot and attacked by a gangster and was shot twice. Fortunately, the caliber of the pistol limited the lethality of the bullets and did not harm Li Xiaolong, who was wearing a leather jacket at the time.

After all, he was already married, had children, and had family responsibilities, so Li Xiaolong decided to leave the United States temporarily and go to Xiangjiang to avoid the limelight, and discuss cooperation matters with the Shaw Brothers, which was obviously more honorable than visiting relatives.

It is not difficult to imagine that Li Xiaolong, who was very ambitious, offered extraordinary conditions to the Shaw Brothers, including: the production cost of the film should not be less than 600,000 Hong Kong dollars, he would serve as the film's martial arts director, and have the right to modify the script, and that

The foreign actors he invites must be paid in US dollars, etc.

Not to mention that a large company like Shaw Brothers has its own style, the conditions imposed by Li Xiaolong directly violated Shaw Brothers' operating principles.

Therefore, Shaw Tycoon did not bargain with Li Xiaolong at all. Instead, he followed his own rules of the game and listed the conditions that fit the style of the Shaw Brothers: the production cost of each film is planned to be around US$70,000, and the salary for each film is US$2,000.

, and it is best to sign a long-term contract.

The two sides were so at odds with each other that it was natural that they could not continue the negotiation; each was unwilling to bear the responsibility of living up to expectations under the attention of the media, so there were no commercial secrets in the details of the negotiations.

Now, Li Xiaolong is considered an "unowned treasure", and whether he can obtain it depends on his ability.

Ma Yongda, who understood Gao Xian's intention, suddenly realized: "Zou Wenhuai, who was in a lawsuit with Shaw Brothers Film Company, was afraid of further angering Shao Yifu, and Xian Ge was hindered by Shao Yifu's favor in helping with theaters; now Chu Yuan is being taken over by Shaw Brothers Film Company

After the company fought for love, Brother Xian went to find Li Xiaolong again, and no one could find fault."

Gao Xian nodded and said: "This is called losing the east corner and reaping the mulberry trees."

Ma Yongda said excitedly: "Brother Xian, when are you going to contact Li Xiaolong, I will follow you and see."

"In front of Shao Daheng, Li Xiaolong was just a nobody. In the end, he had to return to the United States disappointed." Gao Xian smiled slightly, "We happened to visit the thatched cottage three times to give us enough face."

"I'm responsible for finding out which days there are suitable flights." Mayongda volunteered to get the phone.

At this time, there were faint voices outside, as if someone was asking, "Is Mr. Gao here?"

The company was not that big to begin with. Gao Xian glanced through the glass, passing several desks, and looked at the door. He couldn't help but be startled. Why did Fang Yihua just run over without saying hello in advance?

Gao Xian, who was well aware of Fang Yihua's special status in the Shaw Kingdom, gave Ma Yongda a wink, stood up quickly, and went out, "Miss Fang, what kind of fragrant wind brought you here?"

"This is the box office breakdown of "Seventy-Two Tenants" in the first week." Fang Yihua handed over the documents and check, "Shaw Brothers Cinemas predicts that "Seventy-Two Tenants" should be able to be released for another two weeks.

If Mr. Gao is willing, please come over to discuss the details."

Gao Xian immediately realized that since the other party was so attentive, he must also want to make a profit, but the box office split ratio must no longer be 60% for himself and 40% for Shaw Brothers Cinemas.

Gao Xian is not disgusted with this. It is impossible to "eat all the fish" in business. He has already made enough money anyway.

However, Gao Xian did not guess the whole purpose of Fang Yihua's uninvited visit. She changed the subject and asked Yanran: "I noticed that the screenwriter of "Seventy-two Tenants" is called 'Not a Woman', nor is she a woman."

Do you know which talented person has such an interesting name?"

Gao Xian raised his eyebrows and said with a playful smile: "This friend of mine likes to be quiet and doesn't want to deal with strangers. In fact, the name 'Not a Woman' may not be appropriate."

Fang Yihua was suddenly fooled by Gao Xian's Yunshan fog cover, and murmured to himself: "Not a woman, not a woman?"

Worried that Fang Yihua was crazy, Gao Xian quickly interrupted the other party's train of thought with a smile: "Didn't Chu Yuan go to Shaw Brothers? He knows a lot about "Seventy-two Tenants" directed by himself, and he can definitely follow suit and produce a box office return.

A good movie with a similar theme.”

Fang Yihua didn't feel embarrassed when Gao Xian revealed his ultimate goal. He even took advantage of being a woman in the workplace and directly opened the window and said frankly: "I signed Chu Yuan first. Mr. Gao won't resent me, right?"

Gao Xian laughed loudly, "People go to higher places. If I can't even see through this little bit of human sophistication, I might as well shut down the business as soon as possible."

"I know Mr. Gao is magnanimous." Fang Yihua complimented, "As Mr. Gao said, the box office performance of "Seventy-Two Tenants" is so amazing, it is indeed worth pondering and learning from within the industry."

Gao Xian has long looked away from following the trend. The red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple shared bicycles are an example. If you are not afraid of being trampled to death due to crowding, you can just follow the trend. I will count the money first.

Gao Xian invested a total of less than 200,000 in "Seventy-Two Tenants".

Because this is the first work of Shanghua Culture, in the process from zero to one, some expenses are unavoidable, and it is normal for it to be slightly higher.

What's more, the box office revenue has already been nearly ten times earned.

To describe it in Ma Yongda’s words, “Brother Xian, it turns out that making movies is more profitable than stock trading!”
