Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 31 Overseas agency rights

A month ago, Feilong couldn't have imagined that one day he would be a guest of Jiahe.

Seeing He Guanchang smiling in front of him made Feilong a little uncomfortable, because when he met He Guanchang before, the other party always put on high airs, which made him very annoying.

"Flying Dragon, Golden Harvest has decided to fully support your film. From now on, all theaters under Golden Harvest will be screened."

Before that, He Guanchang was not like this. He felt that the eight theaters gave too much, and even thought about cutting it by half.

If it weren't for Feilong's status as the boss of Zhongyi Hall, He Guanchang would really be able to do such a thing.

"Thank you, Mr. He." Even when he heard that He Guanchang wanted to let "Young Master Qian" be screened in all Golden Harvest theaters, Feilong did not show gratitude or excitement, but took it for granted.

He wasn't worried that He Guanchang would push "Master Qian" out because of his attitude, because if he dared to do so at this time, it would only make Shaw Brothers cheaper.

And even if He Guanchang really had trouble with money, Golden Harvest's boss, Zou Wenhuai, would not agree.

Although there was a smile on his face, He Guanchang was very annoyed in his heart. He had looked down on people like Feilong from the beginning, and now that the other party didn't take him seriously, He Guanchang felt even more annoyed.

But the current situation is stronger than others. You don’t need to watch this movie to know it. It’s only a matter of time before it breaks 300 million in the case of dual screenings. It depends on what kind of box office it can achieve in the end.

But if he just got a good box office in Xiangjiang, it is not enough for He Guanchang to lower his figure. What he fancy is the agency rights of this movie overseas.

In this era of Xiangjiang movies, as long as they can get a good box office locally, they can definitely make more money when they are sold in Hong Kong, and they can even be sold abroad to earn yen and dollars.

If you want to talk about the ability to sell ports overseas, Shaw Brothers is definitely the first-class production company in Xiangjiang at this time, and Golden Harvest can only be ranked second.

As far as he knows, the agency rights of "Young Master Qian" are still in his hands and have not been handed over. He Guanchang lowered his profile because he wanted to get the agency rights overseas.

"Flying Dragon, it looks like this movie should have a good box office. If it is shown in Taiwan or Southeast Asia, it will definitely have more box office than Xiangjiang. It is not impossible to even get RB to release in the United States."

Now He Guanchang had to confuse Feilong first. He was sure that the other party didn't understand the inside story, so he wanted to take advantage of this time to sign the agency contract with Feilong.

It's useless for Feilong to play tricks when the contract is signed. If he wants to go back on his word, he will have to pay an astronomical liquidated damages.

"I don't know what to do to get it screened there?" Fei Long immediately showed a very interested look on his face.

He Guanchang patted his chest and said, "It's actually very simple, you just need to give us the agency rights of "Master Qian", and then you wait to collect the money."

"I don't know how much overseas box office share Mr. He plans to give us?" At this moment, Lin Daoqiu suddenly walked in from the door.

When He Guanchang saw Lin Daoqiu again, he no longer looked down on him as before, because before that, he had sent someone to investigate Lin Daoqiu carefully, and got an incredible result.

A young man who just came from swimming in the mainland, made a movie with the support of Feilong, and the movie has already won more than 50 box office in less than half a day after its release.

Even according to people who are acquainted with Shaw Brothers, Guo Youhua joined "Master Qian" for free at the beginning, and it is said that this has something to do with the people around Fang Yathua.

Although everyone was rumoring that Lin Daoqiu was related to Fang Yathua or Sixth Uncle, He Guanchang was sure that Lin Daoqiu must not be familiar with them, otherwise Feilong would definitely not be able to invest in this movie.

As for why Guo Youhua joined for free in the first place, there must be a reason, but He Guanchang has not been able to investigate it for the time being.

But these are not important to He Guanchang anymore, because he has already realized that the smiling young man in front of him, who looks harmless to humans and animals, is definitely not as innocent as he looks.

"Mr. Lin, it's been a long time." He Guanchang put away his smile, stood up solemnly, then walked up to Lin Daoqiu and stretched out his hand to him.

If he hadn't heard what He Guanchang said from Lin Zhengying's mouth before this, Lin Daoqiu might still respect this old man, but now he just looked at the other's hand and didn't reach out to shake it.

The flying dragon on the side couldn't stand it anymore. No matter what He Guanchang said, he was a big boss of Golden Harvest Company. It was really not good for Lin Daoqiu to not show face to the other party. He quickly coughed twice to remind Lin Daoqiu.

"The younger generation has something to say and doesn't know whether to say it or not." Lin Daoqiu raised his head and looked at He Guanchang and asked.

He Guanchang nodded and said, "Mr. Lin, please go ahead."

"I heard from people in Golden Harvest that there was a boss who was not optimistic about our drama, and even said that our drama would hit the box office. I wonder if Mr. He has heard of such a thing?"

These words were said by He Guanchang, of course he knew very well, but in front of Lin Daoqiu he could only pretend to be very confused.

"Is there such a thing? If there is such a person, please ask Mr. Lin to point it out, and I will ask him to apologize to you immediately." He Guanchang is very skillful in telling lies, and he can't even see a flaw.

If Lin Daoqiu had not known the result before, just looking at He Guanchang's expression, he would really think that he had wronged him.

"It's just a rumor. Since Mr. He said it was wrong, it should just be rumored by others." Lin Daoqiu smiled and didn't pursue it further.

Although Lin Daoqiu didn't go on, He Guanchang didn't think that Lin Daoqiu just mentioned this matter casually. I'm afraid he said this to beat himself up, even with a hint of warning in it.

Is the other party really the only one?He Guanchang really can't believe that someone can have such a city?It's just incredible.

"A Qiu is responsible for all matters related to "Young Master Qian". What he said is equal to what I said." After Fei Long left this sentence, he took the people and left, leaving only Brother Dongnan to Lin Daoqiu.

If the opponent is Feilong, He Guanchang is confident that he can turn the opponent around, but now it is replaced by the smiling Lin Daoqiu, he suddenly feels a little lack of confidence.

"Mr. Lin, since Feilong has entrusted you with the full power of "Young Master Qian", I would like to talk to you about the overseas agency." Even if it was Lin Daoqiu, we still have to talk, otherwise, what can we do?

"Shaw Brothers is the number one in the ability to operate and sell ports in Xiangjiang, and Golden Harvest can only be ranked second. If I want to cooperate, the first choice is Shaw Brothers, followed by Cai Jiahe."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu came up, he immediately took He Guanchang's army, but what the other party said was right, He Guanchang was so angry that he couldn't hold back his anger, but he couldn't explode on the spot.

"Mr. Lin is right. Although our ability to sell ports is not as good as that of Shaw Brothers, our sincerity is definitely higher than that of Shaw Brothers." Since our ability is insufficient, we can only make up for it with sincerity.

At the beginning, Shaw Brothers missed Bruce Lee and the Xu brothers because of their arrogance, but Golden Harvest recruited them all by virtue of sincerity. Once they left and entered, Golden Harvest slowly rose in Xiangjiang, thus threatening Shaw Brothers' status .

"I don't know how much sincerity Jiahe can give?" Lin Daoqiu asked directly, as if he didn't know what tact was.

"5.00% of the total overseas box office, or ten percent of the gross overseas box office profit."

And less than two seconds after He Guanchang finished asking the price, he heard Lin Daoqiu suddenly burst out laughing.
