"When will Ka Fai return to Hong Kong?" Jiang Zhiqiang asked curiously.

"It should be about the same time as the Queen's visit to Hong Kong!"

Wu Xiaozu pointed to the person outside the window who was hanging a rice-character flag on the street, and glanced at Jiang Zhiqiang.

"It's nothing, it's just that a few companies want to play with him."

Jiang Zhiqiang glanced at the workers outside with lanterns and colorful flags hanging with rice flags, and sneered with a sullen mouth, "How about the mainland, how are the ghosts better? My mother doesn't recognize them, and I cry with my enemies. I forget my ancestors... It's just a grasshopper after autumn!"

"Jiang Sheng is careful that the walls have ears, which is not good for President Jiang." Wu Xiaozu persuaded.Obviously it was decided in 1984, but there are always some people who are not reconciled!

He is not afraid of having ears, but he is afraid that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching and the crabs will be too fat.

"I'll come back and inform Brother Ka Fai."

Speaking of this, Wu Xiaozu looked helpless, "After the in-laws left, I sent an unknown number of telegrams to urge them. But when they arrived... 1024's affairs have long been a mess..."

As soon as Jiang Jiahua walked away, it was good to say that the preparations for the filming were progressing, and there were Li Zhaoji, Liu Weiqi and others to help.But various procedures and accounting relationships really made Wu Xiaozu very big.Continue to send telegrams to Li Hanxiang's "Fire Dragon" crew, urging Liang Gahui and Jiang Jiahua to return quickly.

Fortunately, this is Li Hanxiang, otherwise it would be difficult to shoot telegrams.

Director Li Hanxiang is one of the few great directors who have traveled across the strait and three places to make films, and he has indeed played a great role in promoting the exchange of Chinese film industry.

As the first batch of big directors to go to the mainland to shoot, Li Hanxiang is famous in the high-level mainland.Wu Xiaozu can only "curve to save the country" and let people send telegrams to the great director.

Liang Gahui's parents-in-law were not in Hong Kong, and Wu Xiaozu found that life seemed to lack a lot of flavor and was not used to it.Even eating is not as good as it used to be at Liang Gahui's house.This is the truth.

"I'll send the company's accountant to help you with financial matters. Then you can go to a law firm to file a tax return for verification." Jiang Zhiqiang smiled wryly.

The financial connection between the two companies has made Jiang Zhiqiang a big head.Wu Xiaozu was in a mess here and asked three questions.He also had to ask Antai to make the financial statements of the 1024 locomotive together.

"You'd better find (Wen: find) a law firm and an accounting building. It's fine now, but in the future, the box office in other cities or..." Jiang Zhiqiang said something.

The videotape market and the box-office market in other cities are naturally in their pockets.

Don't talk about guarantees, and don't talk about the demise of films!A businessman is never ashamed.

Besides, the promise made at that time was that "the local big screen will disappear forever", excluding video tapes and foreign markets.

In 86, video tapes had become a part of Hollywood's post-production income, and it was getting heavier.Although the market share of this piece has not surpassed box office revenue, it is extremely profitable.In another two years, the videotape market will occupy half of Hollywood movies, and the rental business Hollywood will make a lot of money.

Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong Island also have huge market potential for videotapes.This year, many video shops and screening halls have popped up on Hong Kong Island.

Thinking about the "video halls" and the booming video tapes in the mainland of later generations, it seems that things like morality can be thrown aside, and the bottom line can be lowered a little bit.

Anyway, in addition to caring about women's chastity, Wu Xiaozu didn't care much about his own integrity.

Antai does not have the strength to distribute movies in other markets, and the video tape market does not have the ability to pry open this cake.It can only be drawn slowly.

At least Wu Xiaozu knew that Jiang Zhiqiang was in contact with Southeast Asian film companies, and he was going to sell the release of "The Butcher in the Rainy Night" in other cities.

The film and videotape sharing mechanism on Hong Kong Island has not yet been perfected, the problem of piracy cannot be solved, and the copyright of videotapes cannot be sold for a few dollars.

unless--

Wu Xiaozu felt that his integrity could be unraveled a little more, and the bottom line was left alone.The bottom line should always be left to others to take a look at, otherwise how can you keep your integrity?
Of course, all of these can only be continued with a certain strength.Otherwise, even if Wu Xiaozu put the bottom line on the Mariana Trench, it would be useless.Because the bottom line is too thin, it is easy to be pierced!
……

"Azu, anyway, you are also the owner of a film company who is sitting here with me and negotiating millions of business..."

Jiang Zhiqiang brushed off the ash, looked around with a look of contempt, "The bedroom should be used as an office, do you want to be so frugal? There is not even an employee who makes tea and pours water. Let Ah Tao play the role of a tea worker..."

Qiu Litao smiled and helped to make tea and pour water.

"Also, can you buy a mobile phone, OK? Every time I look for you, the two guys under you treat me as the diners who order food, and the voices are so messy that I can't hear them clearly!

Can you imagine how humiliating it would be for me to stand on the street yelling with my cell phone?Come on, I'm the boss who manages dozens of people, I'm the second young master of Jiang, don't be ashamed?Street Fighter..."

Qiu Litao laughed at the side.

Looking around at the simple environment in front of me, I feel the same way. 1024 Locomotive Studio must be the most humble film company he has ever seen.

Especially when "The Butcher in the Rain" is a big hit at the box office.No matter how you look at it, Wu Xiaozu can be regarded as a new and emerging director.Made millions, but the office didn't know how to improve.

To speak well is to be frugal.To tell the truth... and the money society of Hong Kong Island has never talked about thrift.

"Oh, I think it's not bad. Take a look at this company's signboard, how bright and dazzling? There is also a sofa in the living room, a desk, a dining table, a bedroom, and a bathroom next to it. You can play mahjong. Mahjong tiles are here for you to play. You can eat, drink, sleep and sleep, what’s not good about it?” Wu Xiaozu pointed to the surroundings and didn’t take it seriously, “Aomen Portugal is not so careful…”

"Choose! Do you know that the film companies run by the young and the bewildered in Temple Street are more formal than you? Playing cards? I might as well go to Macau by speedboat. Make room and let someone walk over to the toilet! You really want to play cards, why don't I invite you?"

Jiang Zhiqiang shook his head speechlessly, threw his mobile phone to Wu Xiaozu, and said loudly, "I'm going to buy a new mobile phone recently, and this is for you to play with. I'll withdraw the calling card, you can go buy a new one. Zhang is ready. Save me every time I call you and order an extra scrambled egg with tomato, I don't know if I want to add the bottom?"

"25 and a half yuan without bottom."

"What about the bottom?"

"Thirty-three eights."

"What about morning?"

"12 yuan two!" Wu Xiaozu smiled and stretched out his hand to add, "There is no bottom in the morning. Why don't you order the meal in the morning next time Jiang Sheng, and you can save a lot of money in the long run..."

"..."

Jiang Zhiqiang was speechless, "I really don't know if this guy is a director or a cook."

"You can be my cook." Wu Xiaozu smiled and raised the eldest brother in his hand.Feeling that this thing can kill people, "In short, I like things that don't cost money the most."

"I'm fucking your lungs!" Jiang Zhiqiang, who doesn't like to speak dirty words, couldn't help but scolded, "You bastard~ Are women too lazy to spend money?"

"Then Jiang Shao, do you have any (mao) women who don't need money to introduce to me?" Wu Xiaozu joked.

Jiang Zhiqiang laughed, nodded at Wu Xiaozu, and joked, "You guys like second-hand goods so much, be careful that women are also second-hand goods."

Wu Xiaozu shook his finger with a serious look, "If it's second-hand goods, it must be second-hand goods that I made. In this case, I will definitely keep them. Otherwise, I will borrow other people's goods and use them. In that case, two It doesn’t matter if it’s not second-hand.”

Jiang Zhiqiang was overjoyed when he heard the words.

In fact, Wu Xiaozu is not pretending to be poor, he is really poor.

The box office is divided into a total of 150 million, the first time is divided into about 50, and the remaining 100 million has not even seen the shadow.It was originally a month, but depending on the situation, it will be Amitabha Buddha if it can be settled in 1986.

Of course, Wu Xiaozu did not doubt that Jiang Zhiqiang was greedy for the money.If Jiang Zhiqiang is so short-sighted, he can only blame Wu Xiaozu for his eyesight, and no one else.

Really, Director Wu didn't want to stand in front of the large French window, looking down at the whole of Hong Kong, with a cigar in his mouth on the leather seat, and a hookah dipped under it?The desk is wider than the double bed...

Unfortunately, this is all just a thought.

The first 50 funds arrived in the account, and Wu Xiaozu would invest 10 yuan for Qiu Litao as a film investment, and 20 yuan for the shooting of his own film.There are only 20 left, which are also reserved for emergency use.Where can TM have the money to buy a company?
Wu Xiaozu originally received a red envelope of 20 yuan, but this is private income and is not included in the company's account.Including Fei Cheng, Luo Dong, Zu Liyao and their red envelopes.At least personal income and company profits should be clearly distinguished, right?
Many people run a company, and even their personal interests and company interests are inseparable. Let me ask, do you think your tax system is run by your family?Even if personal interests and company interests are the same person, they should be clearly distinguished.

After all, Wu Xiaozu is running a serious film company, not a farmhouse.

As everyone knows, the scale and framework of his serious film company is not as good as that of a farmhouse!
Besides, for Wu Xiaozu, the office and the company are all sidelines.If a director or a filmmaker wants to truly gain the respect of the industry and investors, the biggest capital is good works and good grades.

This industry is the most realistic, if you can make money, someone will support you.If you can't make money, someone will step on you.

The work is the greatest confidence!

Cheng Long, a superstar in the film industry today, also came from the stage of being despised by Gu Long.No matter whether he is lustful or not, no one can deny his hard work and achievements.

Having said that, is there a problem with playing a few actresses in the entertainment industry as a character?

Does it count?

Does it count?

Qi!
No matter what other people think, Wu Xiaozu feels righteous and awe-inspiring - it's okay.

How can the hook girl talk about playing?Tune - it's just right to drop wax oil!The green pond like the fort needs the most frequent opening and maintenance.

In this regard, Wu Xiaozu very late (gan) suspiciously (cui) rejected Jiang Zhiqiang's suggestion to go to SH Road for a party, and drove to participate in the movie preview of Gao Lihong and Wang Zuyi.

"Jiang Sheng, I'm familiar with SH Street..." Looking at the departing Red Chicken, Fei Cheng approached Jiang Zhiqiang to flatter him.

"You drive and lead the way." Jiang Zhiqiang said, and threw the key of MR2 to Feicheng.

A group of people headed towards SH Street in a mighty manner.Greatly turn grief and anger into hardness!
