I haven't been a boss for many years

Chapter 87

"Chinese people want to speak Chinese." Zhang Guobin replied with a chuckle, "It's up to you. Mr. Yuan is used to speaking Mandarin when he shoots Mandarin films."

"I can also speak Mandarin, so let's speak Mandarin."

"But Mr. Zhang is from Xiangjiang." Yuan Yangan said: "As far as I know, Mr. Zhang grew up in Xiangjiang. It is very rare to be able to speak Mandarin so well."

"Cantonese is just a kind of Mandarin." Zhang Guobin said with a smile: "My father taught Mandarin when I was young, so he told me so."

"Mr. Zhang is really a good tutor." Yuan Yangan praised with a smile. As for whether you believe it or not, you don't need to worry too much. In short, Zhang Guobin speaks Mandarin well. Among Xiangjiang people, they can speak Mandarin enough to impress people and leave a good impression.

As a native of Dinghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, Yuan Yangan speaks Mandarin mixed with Wu Nong's accent, and he doesn't speak Mandarin very well.

Zhang Guobin's Mandarin is even better than Yuan Yangan's.

Yuan Yangan showed a smile, drank a sip of tea, and asked casually: "I heard that besides the film company, Mr. Zhang also has other businesses under his name, and they are doing very well. He is young and has a successful career. "

"Mr. Yuan won the award. Making movies is his main job, and everything else is a side job." Zhang Guobin smiled.

"In addition, do some sneakers and clothing business."

"Ah."

Yuan Yangan nodded, and said: "You are proud of your youth, and you are not arrogant."

"very good."

Zhang Guobin smiled.

An old man of seventy-five is qualified to judge a young man,

Listen obediently.

What's more, Yuan Yangan is still a leading figure in the Hong Kong film industry. In 1953, "Nie Hai Hua" directed by him was selected into the Edinburgh Film Festival in the United Kingdom, which is a classic of Chinese opera films.

Before entering Xiangjiang, he also served as the head of the Shanghai Lawyers Association, the principal of the East China Christian Federation Middle School, and the chairman of Shanghai Liangyou Book Publishing Company.

Zhang Guobin did not live as long as anyone else in his two lifetimes, so it is not considered to be taken advantage of when he criticizes his character.

"Thank you, Mr. Yuan, for your compliment."

Of course, he only listens when the other party praises him, and if he starts to curse, he doesn't bother to wait on him.

Zhang Guobin chatted with Yuan Yangan one after another, and the more they chatted, the more he understood that Yuan Yangan might only be the first level.

If a movie wants to win the support of Shuangnan Cinemas, it needs a lot of approval, but now it has to wait for the test results to come out, and then talk about it after watching the movie.

It's not difficult to find out his details, regardless of the business and political circles, ordinary people can get tired of hearing the name of Prince Bin after a stroll in Yau Ma Tei.

After half an hour.

A director of Great Wall Films knocked on the office, bowed politely, and stepped forward to deliver a manuscript.

Yuan Yangan sat on the chair and took the manuscript with a smile, nodded to his subordinates, and then flipped through the movie review manuscript.

ten minutes later.

Yuan Yangan closed the notebook, and said kindly: "It turns out that what Mr. Zhang shot is a film that exposes the social situation and reflects the problematic girls of the lower classes."

"The subject matter is very meaningful."

"Ha ha."

"If Mr. Yuan is satisfied..."

"We can sign the contract on the spot." Zhang Guobin took a step closer.

Yuan Yangan practiced Tai Chi with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not something that one person decides for a movie to be shown in Shuangnan Cinema, but it's not for you to make a trip for nothing."

"You'll have the answer later."

"Now, I personally want to ask you, Mr. Zhang, do you know that some filmmakers in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, and the world label our Great Wall, Phoenix, and Xinlian companies, as well as their theaters, as leftist theaters? , Whether it is making a commercial film, a drama film, or an art film, a drama film, will it be labeled as a leftist film?"

Yuan Yangan is talking about the type of film.

popular point,
In fact, they are patriotic films, propaganda films, political films,
even commercial films,
The spiritual core must be positive,

Either shoot traditional Chinese stories, or shoot social issues,
"Pretty Girl" is indeed in line with the style of Shuangnan Cinemas, and can be classified as a commercial film. It will be distributed and drawn by Shuangnan Cinemas. The quality of the film is also high-quality. It will be a blockbuster movie. At least the director team has a very good evaluation. good.

possibly on,
Does not represent the meeting.

Yuan Yangan reminded him very kindly: "As long as a film has a work on the Shuangnan cinema line, the entire film company will be branded as a leftist film, and the films released under its name will be banned by the Taiwan authorities. Mr. Zhang, your company Can it afford the box office loss in Taiwan?"

"That can account for as much as one-third of the overseas box office, and the sales will exceed the largest market in Xiangjiang's local box office. In order to get rid of the elbow control of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers."

"This trick is not necessarily clever."

"If you regret it in the future, Taiwan Island will not give you a chance."

"Mr. Yuan, your reminder is very important. I have considered it, but I do not agree with it." Zhang Guobin listened with great respect before, but now he swept away his calm and said with righteous words: "Taiwan Island is not It counts as an overseas box office!"

"Huh?" Yuan Yangan's expression froze for a moment, with a look of astonishment, even frightened.

"In my opinion, no matter Hong Kong, Taiwan, or the mainland, they are all Chinese box office!"

"To be more precise, I think it's all domestic box office." Not to mention Taiwan and Island, even Xiangjiang has not yet officially returned to China. Sino-British negotiations are still going on, and the two sides are wrestling. It is not yet known who will win the international port.

Internationally, I don’t know how, at least Xiangjiang and Taiwan Island feel that the Chinese side can’t do it...

Zhang Guobin's remarks are really astonishing, crazy, crazy can't be any more crazy!

Even more leftists than Yuan Yangyan leftists, leftists can no longer do it!
Yuan Yangyan never imagined that today's Xiangjiang film industry, and such a strange man as Zhang Guobin, was frightened, his expression was a little stiff, he pulled the corner of his mouth, barely recovered his expression, looked at the other party with deep eyes, and said full of meaning: "Mr. You are young, but you have a big heart and a pattern!"

"He's a guy who does big things."

This kind of talent often has big ambitions, big ambitions!

Yuan Yangan thumped in his heart, and reminded himself, either make a good relationship, or don't offend him. In short, as soon as the words "Box Office in Chinese" came out, his thoughts revealed the pattern, and this person has a lot of weight.

But Zhang Guobin suddenly lowered his posture, like a child, and said with a modest smile: "Mr. Yuan is really flattered, so I will make some small movies, do some small business, and make a living."

"Besides, there are many things that are uncertain... Shuangnan Cinemas does not stipulate an exclusive agreement, and the division of theaters is the lowest among the three. I am just a businessman and I don't talk about politics."

The terms of the Shuangnan Cinemas contract are the most friendly. In fact, it is to attract Xiangjiang Film Company to come to Shuangnan Cinemas to draw online and expand the power of leftist propaganda.

If Zhang Guobin was really an ordinary filmmaker, Yuan Yang'an wanted to make a decision on the spot, agreeing to let "Pretty Girl" be screened in Shuangnan Cinemas.

However, due to Zhang Guobin's true identity, Yuan Yangan couldn't make the decision alone. After consulting Zhang Guobin's desired conditions, he weighed the time.

Zhang Guobin and Yuan Yangan confirmed the details of the contract, Xiangjiang's [-]% of the local theaters' share, plus the [-]% of the mainland's distribution of the theaters' share, including non-exclusive, allowing other DreamWorks films to be released in Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, The Golden Princess was painted and released in Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and other places...

As for whether he has the opportunity to issue and how to issue it, it is up to each individual's ability.

At the same time, the mainland has opened up the film market, and Shuangnan Cinemas has distribution rights in the mainland market, which can build relationships with the domestic imported film sector.

However, there are many hurdles for Hong Kong films to enter the mainland market, and Shuangnan Cinemas does not guarantee that every film will be released in the mainland, such as "Pretty Girl".

Zhang Guobin is well aware of this and has no objection at all.

It is more difficult for a film to enter the mainland than to smuggle in, and it will be difficult to release it after the reunification...

Yuan Yangan checked the time and felt that it was about the same. He lowered his head to look at his watch and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, the person who can make the decision is coming."

"You must have been waiting for a long time."

Zhang Guobin smiled, and said indifferently: "It should be, may I ask..."

"Da da." There were two knocks on the door, before Zhang Guobin finished speaking, the male assistant opened the office door and raised his hand sideways to invite a boss in a Chinese tunic suit to enter. He is tall and straight, with an oval face that is very calm. His face is full of competence and majesty, and there is murderous look in his eyes. He is obviously a person with lofty ideals who has gone through the war years, which is different from ordinary wine bags and rice bags.

Zhang Guobin and Yuan Yangan didn't talk about the third person during the whole process, but during the conversation, they both knew that there was a third person.

This third person is the real talker of the Xiangjiang Leftists!
Seeing the other party enter the door, Yuan Yangan leaned on the sofa to get up, and shouted: "Liu Ban, I'm sorry to ask you to come over here on a special trip."

Relying on his past experience, Zhang Guobin immediately knew that the person who came was an office boss with a great background.

Zhang Guobin quickly stood up with Yuan Lao, and greeted each other with folded hands. Unknowingly, he felt a little like being a secretary to accompany a big leader before, and his Xiangjiang bad boy temperament was washed clean.

Liu Ban, on the other hand, took two quicker steps, held Elder Yuan's hand ahead of time, helped him sit down, and said with concern: "Mr. Yuan, you are already old, don't do the business of welcoming me anymore."

"Not the same, not the same."

Yuan Yangan declined and sat down.

Zhang Guobin watched the situation from the sidelines.

Liu Ban, on the other hand, cared sincerely about the health of the elderly, saying: "What's the difference? We all serve the people."

After Mr. Yuan sat down, he turned around and sat down on a guest sofa. He raised his legs and leaned forward. He was wearing a black Chinese tunic suit and the trouser legs were ironed very neatly. Great Wall Company many times.

Zhang Guobin stood by the sofa and smiled at Liu Ban: "Ahao! Achang!"

"You go out first, I'll stay and talk about something." He turned his head and said.

　Brother Meng, work hard!
