Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2313 Harsh
"Since everyone is cooperating this time, some things need to be clarified in advance, so as not to cause problems in the future."

After all, Sammo Hung is no longer a member of Golden Harvest, and they are only in the nature of cooperation this time, so Sammo Hung expressed that it is understandable for Golden Harvest to have such an idea.

"No problem, of course I can understand, please tell me, Mr. He."

Sammo Hung nodded, but he didn't have any opinion on it.

So He Guanchang took out the documents in duplicate and handed them to Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao.

"This is our contract this time. After reading it, you can sign it if you think there is no problem."

Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao took over the contract and looked it over carefully. The conditions inside were not complicated. This time, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao only took the salary and not the share, which was agreed before.

But at this time, Sammo Hung suddenly discovered that there was a stipulation in the contract, that is, if the box office of the film did not meet the profit standard, their salary would be halved.

Moreover, they have to sign contracts with Golden Harvest for three exclusive Hollywood movies. Only after helping Golden Harvest finish the three films under the same conditions can they cooperate with others or renegotiate the contract with Golden Harvest.

It looked like Yuen Biao would not be happy with this kind of condition immediately, which was too bad for them. They wanted to help Golden Harvest film three films at a very low price, and if they didn't make money, the salary would be halved.

You must know that the salary they are negotiating with Golden Harvest is 50 US dollars for a movie, which can only be regarded as the salary of a newcomer or a little famous in Hollywood.

But how do they say that he is considered a top martial arts star in Xiangjiang, and only 50 US dollars is considered very low. If the box office results are not satisfactory by then, he will be cut down to only 25 US dollars.

And what Yuen Biao couldn't accept the most was to help Golden Harvest film three films, which means that if the three films are filmed, if he is lucky, he can get 150 million US dollars, but if he is unlucky, he can only get 75 US dollars.

The other party took advantage of all the benefits, but he had to accept such harsh conditions, which was really hard for Yuen Biao to accept.

"Mr. He, can we talk about this contract again?"

Yuen Biao didn't want to accept the contract offered by Golden Harvest, he felt that if he didn't improve it, it would be difficult for him to sign it.

In fact, after Yuen Biao finished speaking, Sammo Hung also felt that the conditions offered by Golden Harvest were a bit excessive. Was this treating them as newcomers?
"Mr. He, I have no objection to the remuneration part, but I hope that the exclusive three movies can be changed."

Sammo Hung doesn't pay much attention to the salary of a film. After all, Golden Harvest has invested such a large amount of money. If he doesn't make money, he will lose too much at once, so he is willing to compromise on the salary.

But as for the three exclusive films that Golden Harvest mentioned, Sammo Hung feels that this one is open to discussion.

"San Mao, A Biao, you all know that Golden Harvest is not going to spend tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars this time, but US dollars. If converted into Hong Kong dollars, it will be hundreds of millions. Since we have invested such a large amount of money, Of course you have to buy some insurance."

He Guanchang didn't think there was anything wrong with this contract. After all, they had spent real money, and if something went wrong, they would be the ones who would lose a lot of money.

Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao would still get paid even if the filming of this film failed, and they would have nothing to lose at all, so Ho Guan Cheong would not be willing to make concessions on this point.

Hearing what He Guanchang said, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao looked at each other. They could hear from He Guanchang's words that the other party was determined to sign according to this requirement this time.

If they don't agree, I'm afraid Golden Harvest will hardly be willing to invest in them this time.

"Mr. He, the matter is very important. I want to go back and think about it carefully. I will give you an answer in a few days."

Sammo Hung felt that he couldn't make a decision on this matter for a while, and Jiahe's attitude was also very persistent, and it was almost impossible to see the possibility that the other party would be willing to make concessions.

So he planned to delay this matter for a few days to see if he could change Jiahe's attitude.

"No problem. Anyway, if the business is not successful, there is benevolence and righteousness. We are all old acquaintances. Even if the cooperation fails this time, I believe we will still have opportunities to cooperate in the future."

He Guanchang didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, because he knew very well that in Xiangjiang, apart from Lin Daoqiu and them, it was basically impossible for anyone else to be willing to invest such a large sum of money for Sammo Hung and the others.

Unless Sammo Hung is willing to go back and bow to Lin Daoqiu, then perhaps he may still get his wish.

But according to He Guanchang's understanding of Sammo Hung, if it wasn't because he couldn't get investment from Lin Daoqiu, he would never come to talk about these things, so He Guanchang was not worried about it at all.

On the way back, Sammo Hung had a serious expression on his face, and Yuen Biao beside him didn't seem to be in a good mood either.

"Golden Harvest is determined this time that we can't find anyone else to invest, that's why they dare to open their mouths like this."

Yuen Biao was very upset. He felt that Golden Harvest took advantage of them too much this time. For such a cooperation method, Yuen Biao had already begun to have conflicting thoughts.

"Mr. Zou and Mr. He are both businessmen. It is normal for them to want to buy more insurance, but this contract is indeed not good for us."

If the conditions of the contract were not so harsh, Sammo Hung would not be so entangled.

But the problem now is that if he really agrees to the conditions offered by Jiahe, then they will really have to work hard for several years.

"Brother, I think Golden Harvest should just let it go. Let's think of other ways. If it doesn't work, we'll go to Hollywood to play a supporting role for a year. When we become famous, we won't have to worry about no one investing in us. "

Yuen Biao's idea was very simple, he couldn't accept Golden Harvest's conditions, he planned to go to Hollywood and act in a few supporting roles first.

When the two of them become popular and become famous, someone will definitely invest in them to make a movie.

Regarding Yuen Biao's statement, Sammo Hung actually thought about it before, but when he thought of playing a supporting role for others, Sammo Hung was really unwilling.

After all, he has been a big brother here in Xiangjiang for more than ten years, and suddenly wants to go abroad to be someone else's little brother, and he still uses this unsure way, which makes Hong Jinbao very worried that they will just waste their time when the time comes.

"Brother, I don't think there is anything to hesitate. If we want to fight, we have to rely on our strength to fight for the sky. If we accept Jiahe's conditions, at least three to five years will be wasted. I can't wait that long."

The more Yuen Biao talked, the more excited he became. It seemed that it was almost impossible for him to accept the conditions offered by Golden Harvest.
