Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1427

As the most important market for Hong Kong's film outlets, Neon is a well-deserved number one, followed by Baodao and Hanguo.

The thinking of Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang is that as long as these three big ticket positions are stabilized, then Golden Harvest will not have any major problems.

As for film producers in other Southeast Asian markets, they and Golden Harvest are already old friends, so they shouldn't push Golden Harvest too hard.

The party was held as a buffet, and Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang were looking for representatives of the film studios as soon as they came in.

But they didn't find any familiar faces after scanning around, which made both Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang feel very strange.

After inquiring with acquaintances, they found out that some time ago, the representatives of Nihong, Hanguo, and Baodao's filmmakers had changed, so it's no wonder they couldn't find them.

"Mr. Ueda, this is Zou Wenhuai and Mr. He Guanchang from Golden Harvest."

Coming to Ueda, the representative of Neon Films, this was the first time Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang met each other.

It seems that the Ueda representative is very young, about 30 years old at most.

"This Mr. Ueda is actually the son of the vice president of Dongbao. He was sent to Xiangjiang not long ago to take charge of the business here."

The person next to him explained to Zou Wenhuai in a low voice, and Zou Wenhuai finally understood what was going on.

I am afraid that Mr. Ueda will not be transferred back to Neon after staying in Xiangjiang for too long. Most of the time he came to Xiangjiang to do gilding.

"Mr. Zou and Mr. He, I have admired you two names for a long time. It is a pleasure to meet you. I am Zhixin Ueda. Please take care of me when I meet you for the first time."

Ueda Zhixin was very polite. After all, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang were seniors in the film industry, so it was impossible for him to put on airs in front of the two seniors.

"Mr. Ueda is young and promising. We still have a lot to cooperate with in the future. I would like to ask Mr. Ueda for advice."

Seeing that the other party was so young and so polite, Zou Wenhuai's worries suddenly eased a lot.

Even He Guanchang and Zou Wenhuai next to him had almost the same thoughts.

But before they had time to be happy, Ueda Zhixin said with a worried face.

"The younger generation has a sentence that I don't know whether I should say it or not."

The translator next to him translated this sentence to Zou Wenhuai. Hearing Ueda Zhixin's words and his expression, Zou Wenhuai immediately had an ominous premonition.

"Mr. Ueda, please say something, this gathering tonight is for everyone to speak freely."

Hearing what Zou Wenhuai said, Ueda Zhixin nodded first, and then put on a very serious expression.

At this time, he seemed a little different from the polite Ueda Zhixin just now.

"Golden Harvest's film supply situation during this period is not ideal, and the situation in Neon's release can almost be said to be negative income. I believe Mr. Zou and Mr. He should be very clear about this situation."

Regarding what Ueda Zhixin said, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang also had difficulties.

After all, Golden Harvest has almost no stars who can support the show now, Jet Li has not yet become popular, Li Yuanba has left Hollywood, let alone Xu Guanwen.

His comedies sold well in the Chinese area, but the reaction in Neon can only be said to be mediocre.

"We are sure of this situation, but please rest assured, Mr. Ueda, in the coming year..."

Before He Guanchang finished speaking, Ueda Zhixin interrupted him by raising his hand.

You must know that this is a very impolite move, which can be said to be a very unreasonable move for the Neon people who have always done a lot on their appearance.

"Based on what I've got so far, Golden Harvest's star resources are very scarce. Let alone a year, I'm afraid Golden Harvest won't see much improvement in at least three years."

This sentence does sound a bit hurtful, but what Ueda Zhixin said is based on the current situation of Jiahe, and it cannot be said that his statement is wrong.

He Guanchang's old face turned a little redder than before, and I don't know if it was because of what Ueda Zhixin said.

"There are a lot of complaints from the company, and some high-level executives even said at the meeting that before the situation of Golden Harvest does not change, the purchase of Golden Harvest's film will be cancelled."

This sentence is the last thing Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang want to hear, it will kill Jiahe.

"Mr. Ueda, Golden Harvest has been cooperating with your company for so many years, but if there is a small problem for a while, you have to cancel the purchase of the film. This is not very good."

"Please rest assured, Mr. He, although there is talk of canceling the purchase of the film in the top management, the final resolution at the meeting still decided to continue to purchase Golden Harvest's film."

He Guanchang was immediately relieved when he heard this, but before he had time to take a breath, he only heard Ueda Zhixin continue to say: "But the share will be reduced by [-]%."

As soon as Ueda Zhixin said this, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang's eyes widened immediately. They never expected that the other party would open their mouths like this and directly wanted to reduce Jiahe's [-]% share.

This is completely different from Li Maowen's previous statement about the [-]% reduction. Ueda Zhixin is even more ruthless, directly reducing you by [-]%.

"Forgive Golden Harvest for being unable to agree. If your company wants to reduce the price by [-]%, then Golden Harvest would rather temporarily cancel the cooperation with your company."

Zou Wenhuai was very angry. He felt that Dongbao was just adding insult to injury. If he agreed to them now, Jiahe would not be able to stand up in the future.

Regarding Zou Wenhuai's reaction, Ueda Zhixin had already foreseen that he would say this, so he didn't have much reaction.

"I'm sorry, this is the company's decision, and I can't change it personally. If Jiahe has already made a decision, then I can only say that I am really sorry."

After Ueda Zhixin finished speaking, he bowed to Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang, then turned and left.

Zou Wenhuai clenched his fists tightly, looking angry.

He originally thought that today was just an ordinary gathering of filmmakers, but he didn't expect that he would be slapped in the face by Ueda Zhixin not long after arriving.

If Dongbao has such an attitude, God knows whether the representatives of filmmakers in other regions will be the same as him.

"I'm afraid our troubles today will not be small."

He Guanchang and Zou Wenhuai almost had a tacit understanding, and He Guanchang immediately noticed what the other party was worried about.

"Originally, I thought about breaking away from the overseas publishing department and publishing it myself, but now it seems that some people are unwilling to let us do this."

When Zou Wenhuai was speaking, Lin Daoqiu was leading Fang Jinsheng in from the door, and soon Zou Wenhuai and Lin Daoqiu met eyes.

"If I say that these things have nothing to do with Lin Daoqiu, how likely do you think it is?"

Zou Wenhuai turned to look at He Guanchang beside him and asked.

He Guanchang shook his head with a wry smile.

"Not even a single one."
