I haven't been a boss for many years

Chapter 40 Film Emperor
Clearwater Bay.

Shaw Building, President's Office.

"Mr. Zhang is really a distinguished guest. It's rare, really rare to come to Shaw Brothers Films for a while when you have time." Zhou Runfa moved a chair and sat beside him, Zhang Guobin and Zhu Baoyi sat on the guest sofa together, and Shao Yifu put down his pen , walked out of the desk, came to the main seat to make tea, raised his head to fiddle with the tea set, and said in a slow and gentle manner.

"Sixth Uncle is overrated. You are a senior in the film industry. Compared with you, I am just a junior." Zhang Guobin did not change his face, letting Shao Yifu's words carry guns and sticks, and said humbly.

"Hehe, once "The True Colors of Heroes" is released, you will no longer be a junior in the film industry, but a big shot in the film industry!" Shao Yifu said sharply, still aggressive in his words: "I don't know Mr. Zhang Chat with me today, is there anything you want to advise?"

Zhang Guobin can understand Shao Yifu's attitude. If someone invites his popular actors to film movies who don't say hello to him, they will still compete in the same schedule and affect the box office.
The most important thing is that this affects the company's actor signing strategy. He must be angrier than Shao Yifu.

But it doesn't matter.

Let's talk about business...

Talk about close, we are a family.

If you can't agree, it's not too late to turn your face!

Zhang Guobin took a cup of Pu'er tea from Yifu Shao, lowered his head, took a sip, and praised: "Mr. Shao, good tea!"

"You are my senior. If you have something to say, I will tell you directly. Don't make people laugh."

"The new film of Universal DreamWorks under my name wants to be released in Shaw Cinemas."

"You're so kind, you hired my people to act, and after the filming, you still come to me for canvases, and you invite people from Golden Harvest to make a film, and you dare to go to Shaw Brothers to drink tea with me after the filming."

"Jiahe and Shaw dance on both sides, which one do you count? I think everyone admires you, seeing that you dance every day!" Shao Yifu suddenly frowned, put down the teacup heavily, and shouted sharply: "Young people don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth!" If the film is brilliant, you will be a big shot in the film industry!"

At this time, Mr. Shao is not a pure and good man who cultivates his health and cultivates his character and builds buildings for the university every day. Any business tycoon who is powerful when he is young has a great personality. Still frank, still a villain and a gentleman, facing everyone has a different face, it is almost difficult to figure it out.

What's more, Mr. Shao was born in a Nanyang Chinese family. He went south to Xiangjiang to work hard for his career.

Zhou Runfa saw that Mr. Shao, who rarely gets angry with his subordinates, suddenly became angry. A rare panic appeared on the face of the popular actor, and he hurriedly put down his teacup and explained for Zhang Guobin: "Uncle Six, Mr. Zhang has no such intentions."

"Shut up!" Shao Yifu said.

Zhou Runfa immediately silenced his voice.

Zhu Baoyi held Zhang Guobin's arm tightly, but Zhang Guobin chuckled, confidently finished the tea, crossed his legs, and played with the teacup with his wrists on his knees. The film emperor is really interested!"

"Young boy, be arrogant!" Mr. Shao said contemptuously.

Don't look at Zhang Guobin's company filming "The True Colors of Heroes", which seems to be popular in Hong Kong and has a bright future, but Yifu Shao owns Shaw Cinemas, so what if the film company is outdated?It also controls the lifeblood of many film companies, and the fishing is still booming.

What's more, the Shaw Brothers Film Studio has been dominant in Hong Kong since the 70s. It created Chinese Kung Fu films with overseas titles and cultivated a lot of superstars. Go out, how many celebrities in Xiangjiang dare to make a film with Zhang Guobin?

There are still three catties of nails on the rotten ship. The ship has not sunk today, so the owner of the ship is certainly talking about it!
But Zhang Guobin also has his own confidence, and he is not afraid of Shao Yifu at all. He put down his teacup and said, "I call you Sixth Uncle to respect you. I asked you to meet to find money together. If Sixth Uncle refuses to agree, Ah Bao, let's dodge people."

Zhang Guobin led Zhu Baoyi to get up.

"Seven percent of the box office, just like Zou Huaiwen, the painting will be on at night! No problem!" Shao Yifu blurted out.

Just as Zhang Guobin's butt got off the sofa, he leaned back to sit again, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Liu."

The two smart people were smart when they said they should be aggressive, and when they should be straightforward, Zhang Guobin knew that Shao Yifu should be a little unhappy with him, but being unhappy doesn't mean that they can't make money together, and Shao Yifu agreed to make money with Zhang Guobin. After the cooperation, another condition was put forward, that is, Zhou Runfa would renew his contract with Shaw Brothers.

With Zhou Runfa's "Shanghai Bund" and "The True Colors of Heroes" double-booming film and television situation, the Shaw Brothers will need to sign Zhou Runfa at a high cost. Golden Harvest, New Art City, and almost all film companies want to cooperate with Zhou Runfa, but the Shaw Brothers He has the most initiative, because there is still one year left in the contract with Zhou Runfa. If Zhou Runfa is hidden within one year, Ah Fa will also suffer a great loss.

This point is not so much about taking advantage of the situation as it is about taking advantage of the vacancy and hitting the snake until it hits three inches. Neither Zhou Runfa nor Zhang Guobin can refuse Shao Yifu. Fortunately, Shao Yifu's contract renewal conditions are much higher than before. Although it took five years, the terms of starring in two major productions a year were enough to satisfy Zhou Runfa.

Shaw Brothers also took an attitude of admiring it.

However, Zhou Runfa asked Shaw Brothers to add an additional clause that he could star in a movie produced by "Universal DreamWorks".

When this request was made, Shao Yifu's expression became even more dissatisfied, but Zhang Guobin was deeply moved when he sat next to him, and directly hugged Zhou Runfa's shoulders. If Shao Brothers wanted to turn his face, he would definitely support Ah Fa to the end.

"Mr. Zhang, I don't know what method you used to invite Fazi to act, but your method of winning people's hearts is really good." Shao Yifu reluctantly agreed to increase the terms, but after Zhou Runfa signed the contract, he looked at Zhang Guobin.

Zhang Guobin shook his head: "You don't understand."

Yifu Shao really didn't understand!

He even didn't expect that Zhang Guobin was the guy who sent his younger brother to write the script and hire him.

Zhang Guobin can not only pack the gun with the script, but also invite the brothers to go upstairs and sit down and chat with Shao Yifu.Although he didn't do this, and even though Yifu Shao had a deep background, he was young and knew nothing but fighting for his life.In the face of ruthless people, you must surprise you!
In the evening of the same day, "The True Colors of Heroes" was screened in [-] Shaw Cinemas in Hong Kong. In the middle of the night, "The True Colors of Heroes" was screened in the Golden Princess Cinemas, and the three major theaters in Hong Kong were screened at the same time, except for the Shuangnan Cinemas, which specialize in showing leftist movies. In addition to not being painted, posters of "The True Colors of Heroes" can be seen almost at the entrance of theaters in Hong Kong.

Zhang Guobinkong has a heart of patriotism, but with a social background, he has no face to ask Shuangnan Cinemas to go to DreamWorks movies.

Now, Shuangnan Cinemas will never show "criminal films" similar to "The True Colors of Heroes", and domestic film review is extremely strict, and the introduction system has not yet been opened. As the mainland's propaganda station in Xiangjiang, the red background of Shuangnan Cinemas It is very deep, and it is impossible for film directors and producers who have not been stamped seriously by the mainland to release it.
