Chapter 1114 This old man is very bad
Or maybe it's just local film company hype.

Although the current Hong Kong films are indeed showing signs of decline, it is far from the collapse of countless film companies.

However, when Taiwanese filmmakers boycotted Hong Kong films, the consequences were extremely horrific.

The previous Taiwanese film studios were very generous. As long as the producers proposed a story theme and said which big stars would join them, they could spend millions of cash to buy this unfilmed project, just like investing. , so it is also called "buy a piece of flower".

But there is one person who broke the rules of the industry, and that is Sunglass King. He relies on the lineup of Leslie Cheung, Maggie Cheung, Tony Leung, Lin Qingxia, Liang Jiahui, etc., and he claims to be an adaptation of Jin Yong's martial arts novel.

He tricked investors into investing tens of millions of dollars, and the filming of "Evil, West, Poison" started smoothly. When the budget was exhausted in the middle of the filming, they continued to trick Taiwanese businessmen into paying.

As a result, investors almost lost their money.

Plus the current movie has signs of being decades away.

That is, the artist's salary is too high, but the investor is unwilling to invest more. In this way, the quality of the film can only be sacrificed to subsidize the artist's salary.

After all, similar to today's popular artists, it is impossible to lower their salary. You can't have both, and you can only sacrifice one of them.

Therefore, the most terrifying mountain that weighs on Hong Kong directors is the artists' remuneration.

A few years ago, it was possible to get a movie for 200 million yuan, and that’s all, plus the salary, but now those popular actors who are paid 200 million yuan don’t even watch it.

For example, Cheng Long, his salary has already exceeded 1 million Hong Kong dollars.

If you want to make money, at least you have to pay the 1 million film remuneration to others first, and then use part of it to make movies.

However, it is impossible for an investor to add tens of millions more. At most, another 1 million is already a big deal.

And what kind of big movie can be produced with this 1 million production cost?
As a result, those film companies who wanted to go to the shore to launder their whites began to do crooked ways, such as kidnapping artists, or taking a few photos, threatening artists to perform with zero pay, and so on.

No matter how you look at it, there are signs of a pre-destruction carnival.

The whole circle is like this, it's not that Shengshi Pictures' boldness can be alone.

But Su Chen didn't want to cooperate with those film companies with dirty foundations, and the most he wanted to cooperate with was with Jiahe.

Of course, having said that, he is only serving as the general manager now.

He just needs to make a plan for how the film company will go.

If every company has to follow the whole process, then he will be exhausted.

Soon, the car came to the film company.

Go in from the lobby.

The front desk greeted hurriedly.

"Good afternoon, Chairman!"

"Good afternoon!" Su Chen nodded with a smile, "There are still two bouquets of flowers, are you going on a date tonight?"

The front desk was a little embarrassed, "My boyfriend asked me to watch a movie with me tonight, but I didn't expect him to send flowers to the company."

"Young people have to be a little romantic. If you don't have a little bit of romance, how can you be together?" Su Chen said with a smile, "I heard that you have been with the company for a long time, and if you get married later, the company will give you a big red envelope. "

"Thank you, Chairman."

Su Chen smiled slightly, and went straight to the general manager's office from the elevator.

Shirley has already cleaned up all her things, except for the computer, the rest are basically company documents.

Su Chen just sat down.

The front desk called: "Chairman, Mr. He (Guan) Sheng (Chang) from Golden Harvest Company is here to see you."

"Mr. He?" Su Chen was a little puzzled. After all, he and this Mr. He had nothing to do with each other. At most, everyone just nodded and greeted each other.

But since everyone has already arrived, it would not be appropriate to drive them out again.

So he said, "Mr. He, please come up."

A few minutes later, the front desk led Mr. He to the office.

"Chairman Su, long time no see." Mr. He (Guan) Sheng (Chang) had a smile on his face, "I originally planned to visit Ms. Shirley from your company today, but I didn't expect that Ms. Shirley had already gone to the United States. So I came to bother Chairman Su."

Su Chen also replied with a smile: "Because the company has some personnel arrangements, it has not been posted. Mr. He, we have not seen each other for several years, please sit down."

When the two met before, it was still in the 80s. At that time, Su Chen wanted to create various associations, forcing companies such as Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and New Art City to agree.

The situation now is similar to that of the past, because this time what Zhou Jianren wants to build is an association that has obtained official documents from the mainland. If Jiahe wants to survive, he can only join the association.

Otherwise, Miss Zou wouldn't have followed Zhou Jianren up and down.

Two cups of tea were prepared.

Su Chen asked again: "I don't know why Mr. He came here today?"

"It's like this, because now Taiwanese film companies are boycotting Hong Kong films, so I plan to unite with local film companies to negotiate with these film companies." Mr. He said, "Otherwise, Hong Kong films will have no place to stand. It's getting worse."

Su Chen secretly scolded the old fox in his heart.

This is to use Sheng Shi as an early bird, because he has already negotiated with Taiwanese films.

Letting myself fight with Taiwanese filmmakers, these old Jianghu betrayed their peers really didn't feel guilty at all.

"Uncle He, you just mentioned this." Su Chen didn't scold him, but smiled, "You also know that we never accept external investment, even if Taiwan films boycott Hong Kong films, it won't affect us much.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if 2/3 of the film companies in Hong Kong go bankrupt, it will have no impact on us, because we are not dependent on Taiwanese film companies after all. "

He had already made up his mind early in the morning, and he would come out to clean up the mess after the companies that only follow suit and shoddy production are dead.

Anyway, whoever loves who dies has nothing to do with him.

Although it was dismantled face to face.

But Mr. He didn't feel any embarrassment at all, and he laughed: "Although Chairman Su is not in charge of Saatchi Films, he has a thorough understanding of the current film industry. He really deserves to be a person who can play in all industries."

"Uncle He, you're flattering me too much." Su Chen also smiled, "Miss Zou is going north with our Mr. Zhou now. Uncle He, you came here today to inquire about this matter, right?"

Mr. He didn't hide the slightest thing, and just gave a thumbs up.

"I didn't expect to be seen through by you at a glance, because the news has not been sent back for a long time, so we people have no idea."

"Before I went, I had already told them that if you want to get affirmation, your position is very important."

"Since Chairman Su said so, it seems to be very safe." Mr. He handed over a document and said: "Since Chairman Su is now managing Shengshi, then I will not wait for Mr. Zhou to come back.

Chairman Su, why don't we play the one-ticket game together? "

Su Chen took the document handed over by Mr. He, and just glanced at it, his eyelids twitched.

This old man is very bad!
