super cool life

Chapter 71 This old man is a treasure

Time passed day by day, and Guo Yongren has been paying attention to the changes in the Hong Kong stock index. It is still early, and it is still too early to climb up. It is still too late. It seems that we can only wait until next year to start.

In a blink of an eye, time has entered December, and the atmosphere of celebrating Christmas in Hong Kong is still very heavy. After more than 100 years of colonial rule, many people celebrate foreign festivals.

Guo Yongren started preparations early on, and sent gifts to everyone he knew. At the same time, he also held a reception to connect people. The reception was not big and there were not many people. Lively, the relationship has been further strengthened.

It took two months, and [Lifting the Little Hand] was completely completed. Guo Yongren and a group of high-level executives watched it in the screening hall. Yes, Guo Yongren relived it.

"Zhengyang, what's your plan for the distribution department?" Guo Yongren asked. Guo Zhengyang has been working in distribution for many years and has a relatively deep connection with theaters.

"Chairman, it is impossible for Shaw Brothers, Jiahe and Princess Jin to be in the same year. They all lined up their own films. Our film needs to be in the next year. I will contact more than a dozen other independent theaters. After a while, they will cooperate with the screening at that time, and the time will be within a month of the next year," Guo Zhengyang reported.

Guo Yongren nodded. It's the Chinese New Year. There is no other entertainment this year. Basically, I go to watch movies or something. It's no wonder that the three major theaters don't show their own movies.

"Okay, let's put it in the next year," Guo Yongren said, able to understand Guo Zhengyang's difficulties.

Golden Harvest doesn't have many films this year, not to mention the spoiler Golden Princess Cinemas, which completely tossed out the booking system, which benefited all the film companies a lot, at least the cost was much lower.

Shaw Brothers is an old-fashioned self-produced and self-marketed company. I don’t care. Golden Harvest insisted on canceling the reservation system for a while. There is no way.

Golden Harvest hated Princess Golden to death. The two companies fought fiercely. In the end, there was no other way.

The Hong Kong film market has entered the stage of the triwizard struggle for hegemony. Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and Princess Golden represent New City, and the golden age of film development has officially kicked off.

After watching the movie, Guo Yongren returned to his office. However, Hong Jinbao and Chen Xinqi came together, and it seemed that he had something to tell Guo Yongren.

Guo Yongren looked at them, took out a cigarette and threw it on the table, "If you have something to say, when did you become so reserved?"

The two smiled, and Hong Jinbao took out a cigarette and handed it to Guo Yongren, and then helped Guo Yongren to light it, and then gave Chen Xinqi one for himself, and he lit the cigarette by himself.

"Chairman, the meaning of our coming here today is to introduce a director to the chairman." Hong Jinbao said directly. As soon as the three of them started smoking, Hong Jinbao and Chen Xinqi let go.

"Oh, what director?" Guo Yongren became interested. It must not be easy for the two of them to be lobbyists.

"Chairman, let me tell you directly, it's one of my seniors, He Pan, who usually shoots romantic movies, but recently fell out with Shaw Brothers, and he knew that I work here, so he entrusted me to do it." Ask, will the company make this type of film?" Chen Xinqi finished the matter in one breath.

Guo Yongren was taken aback for a moment, and then He Pan's information appeared in his mind. This old man is a treasure, how could he let it go.

He Pan was the first director of two-plus first-class films with a box office of more than 80 million. Naturally, the most watched films were the romantic films and pornographic films he shot in the late 90s and early [-]s, such as "The Complete Book ( Jade) Futon, "Night (Passion)", "Third Temptation", "I'm Crazy For You", "Fourth Temptation"...etc.

The old man is also a master photographer. From the 60s to the 280s, He Pan won more than [-] awards in different photography competitions around the world.

From [-] to [-], he won the title of Ten Outstanding Photographers in the World organized by the Photographic Society of America for eight consecutive years.

He Pan's photographic works are on par with Lang Jingshan. In 1958, he won the top ten titles. With his new style of photography, he broke the stereotyped traditional size.

After reminiscing, he directly said, "Shoot, why not shoot, as long as the law permits and we can make money, we will shoot." Guo Yongren made the final decision. Basically, this type of film is profitable, so why not shoot it.

The two breathed a sigh of relief. With Guo Yongren today, the two of them felt relieved. They were worried that Guo Yongren was from a wealthy family and looked down on the people who made these videos, but now they are not worried.

"Let me tell you two, if I meet a good director or editor or cameraman in the future, I will dig hard for me. If the company wants to develop, can you just rely on the two of you? It must grow and grow. How to grow is of course a talent. The company There are too few talents now," Guo Yongren said to the two seriously.

The two nodded, and took these words to heart. In the future, they would often poach the corners of other companies, and Xinyi City was completely hollowed out by these two people.

"By the way, poaching comes down to poaching. You must be clear about the contract. If you don't understand anything about this, ask Lawyer Guan." Guo Yongren reminded him again, and he should feel at ease about the degree of control.

"Okay, look, when can I ask Director He to come over?" Chen Xinqi asked

Guo Yongren thought for a while, "Have you told him about the treatment?" He asked directly, the treatment of the umbrella can be said to be the only one, which is different from Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and New City, more flexible and more realistic.

"I've said it," Hong Jinbao said
"I have told Director He about the company's director classification system, and the old man has no objection," Hong Jinbao said seriously.

Umbrella Films adopts a director classification system with two levels, one is ordinary, and the other is split. Those who have just arrived are given ordinary treatment, except for filming commissions.

The second type is to have a share, of course, this is a pure profit share, which is divided into two levels according to different proportions. It can also be said that the director of the umbrella has three levels, which is very fair and reasonable, and everything depends on the results.

"That's easy. It's almost noon now. Please contact me. Let's have a meal together at noon." Guo Yongren immediately settled down. Guo Yongren still has to study in the afternoon, so he must have no time.

"Okay, I'll contact him now, where should we go for lunch?" Chen Xinqi asked, Guo Yongren still needs to make up his mind on this matter.

After thinking about it, the old Xiaoji I went to last time was not bad, and several signature dishes tasted good, so let’s go somewhere else this time. Make a phone call and book a private room."
