The richest man

Chapter 15 Loan of 100 million

On August 8, "Snake-shaped Hands" achieved another success, with a box office of up to 26 Hong Kong dollars.

However, "Wudang Heroes" fell, and the next day's box office was only 20 Hong Kong dollars.

A week later, the box office of "The Snake" broke through 346 million Hong Kong dollars, causing a sensation in the industry.On the other hand, "Wudang Heroes", except for the slightly higher box office in the first two days, almost hit the street after that, with less than [-] Hong Kong dollars per day.

Hong Kong is too small a place with a small population and limited spending power.One goes up and down, everyone has gone to watch "Snake-shaped Diao Shou", but naturally no one has watched "Wudang Master".

It is normal for "Wudang Heroes" to hit the street.

On September 9th, Shaw Brothers had to take "Wudang Heroes" off the shelves.

Of course, the major newspapers in Hong Kong will not miss this opportunity to report heavily.

"Zhang Jun PK Zhang Zhenghao, father is not as good as son!" "

"the student surpasses the master"

"The waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead, newcomers replace old ones"

Some newspapers even belittled Zhang Zhenghao as useless, and Zhang Zhenghao, who was reading the newspaper, turned blue with anger.

Zhang Jun looked at these newspapers and thought to himself, the mouths of the unscrupulous newspapers in Hong Kong are really vicious, and they really have no morals in order to increase the sales of newspapers.

"Dad, the script "Drunken Master" has been written, and you can start preparing the crew. I think the original crew of "The Serpentine Hand" is very good!" Zhang Jun said.

Zhang Zhenghao also wanted to make a movie earlier to prove himself, so he nodded and said, "Okay!"

After speaking, the two went out to Golden Harvest Film Company.

After coming to Golden Harvest, he saw Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchong not long after.

Zhang Jun directly explained his intention.

"Mr. Zou, my dad is going to make a new movie, can Golden Harvest pay us a portion of the box office share?"

Zou Wenhuai did not immediately agree, but instead asked: "Oh, you guys are going to make a new movie again, what kind of movie is it, has the script been written yet?"

Zhang Jun replied: "The script has already been written, it is called "Drunken Master", and it is also a kung fu comedy.

"Did you still write the script?" Zou Wenhuai asked again.

"Yes."

Zou Wenhuai pondered for a moment, and said: ""The Serpentine Hand" is still in theaters, and you want to get a part of the box office share in advance, which is a bit against the rules. If other independent film companies find out, won't they follow suit? How does Golden Harvest do business? ? But Golden Harvest can invest 1000 million Hong Kong dollars in Zhang’s film company, and only take 55% of the shares. With Golden Harvest’s full support, Zhang’s film company will definitely skyrocket and become a great success!”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Jun and Zhang Zhenghao couldn't help looking at each other.

Jiahe really coveted Zhang's film company!

Zhang Jun frowned slightly, and after a while, he said, "Mr. Zou, my father and I need to think about this matter carefully."

Zou Wenhuai smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Haha, no problem, you can give me an answer after you think it over."

"Ok."

After speaking, Zhang Jun got up to say goodbye, and left Jiahe with his father.

After leaving the Golden Harvest Building, Zhang Jun said to Zhang Zhenghao: "Dad, we can't agree to Golden Harvest's conditions. 55% of the shares are too much, and we will lose control of the company! Let's go to HSBC, "Serpentine" Tricky Hands is a hit at the box office, we should be able to get a loan easily!"

Zhang Zhenghao nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Well, then go to HSBC."

After going to HSBC, as Zhang Jun said, they easily borrowed 100 million Hong Kong dollars from the bank.As for the shooting cost of "Drunken Master", according to Zhang Jun's calculations, it will not exceed 30 Hong Kong dollars.

And Cheng Long's personal remuneration has also risen from a few thousand yuan to [-] Hong Kong dollars.

After Golden Harvest's box office share is obtained, Zhang Jun will give Cheng Long a small share, which is not a bad treatment to him.

So that night, Zhang Jun called Zou Wenhuai and declined Golden Harvest's investment in Zhang's Films.

The next morning, preparations for "Drunken Master" began.

Because Zhang Jun had nothing to do, while helping his father, he also took time to frantically rush to write "Zhu Xian" and "Happy Ghost".

Jiahe will definitely be dissatisfied with Zhang and his son, but Zhang Jun doesn't care much.Golden Harvest's reputation is not bad, so it won't be in arrears with other people's box office share.In addition, Golden Harvest is currently out of business, and they just need to rely on Zhang's film company to make money for them.

However, what Zhang Jun didn't know was that on the second day after he declined Jiahe, the Xu brothers suddenly approached Jiahe to talk about the cooperation of "Ghost Horse Twin Stars".Xu Guanwen can be said to be Shaw Brothers' king of comedy, and can be said to be one of the hottest comedy stars at present.

Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchong and others couldn't help but be extremely happy that the Xu brothers took refuge in them.

The man is affectionate, the concubine is interested, hit it off, there is no suspense.

The two sides talked for a short time before finalizing the cooperation.

The boss of Golden Harvest, Zou Wenhuai, agreed to help the Xu brothers set up a film company, and the two sides cooperated in making films. The first film was "Ghost and Horse Twin Stars".

"Ghost Horse Twin Stars" is also an action comedy, telling the story of the old Qiang Guowen escaped from the pursuit in an unexpected way. His previous life was the first movie in Hong Kong to break 600 million.

Zou Wenhuai was already a little angry at Zhang's father and son's ignorance of current affairs, and decided to fully support the Xu brothers instead.

On September 9th, the Xu Brothers founded the Xu Film Company, officially left the Shaw Brothers, and switched to Golden Harvest.Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchong and others attended the company's opening ceremony one after another to support the Xu Brothers.

Xu Guanwen is the pillar of Shaw Brothers. The news of his departure from Shaw Brothers spread like a tornado, which caused an uproar in the industry.They switched to Golden Harvest one after another, and even superstars like Xu Guanwen also quit.

The news quickly reached Zhang Jun's ears. He was taken aback for a while, and then he took it indifferently and calmly.He had known for a long time that the Xu Brothers would switch to Golden Harvest, but the time was a few months earlier than in his previous life, probably because he saw the box office hit of "The Snake" and had Zhang Zhenghao as a role model, so the Xu Brothers also hurriedly jumped ship up.

So... at this moment, Boss Shao must have lost his temper~
When Zhang Jun thought of Boss Shao's angry look, he couldn't help laughing, calling you a stingy man. Now that talents are leaving, it's no wonder that Shaw Brothers Film Company is not in decline.

However, the Xu brothers are the formidable opponents.

The Hong Kong movies of the 80s and [-]s were almost dominated by the Xu Brothers.

But Zhang Jun is not afraid. With the knowledge he has mastered, it is no problem to make a few blockbuster films.Moreover, making movies is only his sideline business. Zhang Jun's ideal is to make money from industry and technology, which makes him appear to be worthy.

At this time, the company has 100 million Hong Kong dollars in its account, 30 Hong Kong dollars is enough to shoot "Drunken Master", and there is still 70 Hong Kong dollars that need to be done. This is what Zhang Jun is most worried about right now...
