Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 854 Record-breaking signing bonus

Golden Harvest has just bought the Kowloon Cinemas, and now is the time to be in the limelight.

He Guanchang took such a big turn and asked them out for tea, probably, Hong Jinbao and Yuen Biao already knew what they were going to talk about.

"Sanmao, if you find it inconvenient, I can call Mr. Lin now and explain to him."

He Guanchang smiled sincerely, and he could see the scruples in Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao's hearts at a glance.

After hearing what He Guanchang said, Sammo Hung hesitated for two seconds, and the smile returned to his face.

"Mr. He is too worried. It's just a cup of tea. There's no need to be so serious."

After Sammo Hung finished speaking, he brought Yuen Biao into the box.

As for that Boss Li, after Sammo Hung and the others came in, he silently withdrew.

He is just the boss of a film company, and he needs to rely on Jiahe in many places.

He Guanchang knew that Boss Li had a good relationship with Sammo Hung, so he asked him to call and ask him out.

The reason why he turned such a corner was also because He Guanchang was worried that Sammo Hung would not come out to the appointment because of too many scruples.

"Sanmao, congratulations on your "Lucky Stars". This time it got a good box office again."

The more successful Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao were, the more regretful He Guanchang felt.

Originally, the two people in front of them were both Jiahe's capable generals, but now they have all been transferred to Lin Daoqiu's command.

Whenever he thinks of this, He Guanchang feels very depressed.

If possible, he would not mind using money to buy Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao back to Golden Harvest.

But what He Guanchang can be sure of is that Lin Daoqiu will never let them go.

"Mr. He is too polite. In fact, this film can get such a good result because Mr. Lin has put in a lot of energy to make it, so it has the current result."

Sammo Hung was very smart, he knew exactly what He Guanchang wanted to do, so he transferred the credit to Lin Daoqiu.

But seriously, Lin Daoqiu is indeed responsible for the success of this "Fuxing Gaozhao".

It was just a month of planning, taking them to Neon, and everything needed to coordinate the shoot.

If it weren't for Lin Daoqiu, even if this "Fuxing Gaozhao" was shot within one time, it would not have achieved the current effect.

"It goes without saying, Mr. Lin, but I think Sanmao is one of the biggest heroes of this film. Without you, "Fu Xing Gao Zhao" would definitely not be able to be made."

Naturally, He Guanchang would not praise Lin Daoqiu in front of Hong Jinbao, otherwise his purpose of asking Hong Jinbao out for tea today would be in vain.

Regarding He Guanchang's words, Sammo Hung just smiled and shook his head.

"Sanmao, I believe you should have heard about Golden Harvest's purchase of Kowloon Cinemas."

He Guanchang suddenly changed the topic to Kowloon Cinemas.

This matter has been occupying the headlines of newspapers and magazines in recent days.

Not to mention that Sammo Hung is still in the film industry, he actually knew about it a long time ago.

"Before I have time to congratulate Mr. He, he bought the Kowloon Cinemas. From now on, Golden Harvest can be said to be the number one in Xiangjiang."

"Sanmao, what you said is wrong."

For Sammo Hung's praise, He Guanchang shook his hands again and again.

Sammo Hung felt very strange, there was nothing wrong with what he said, how could it be wrong.

After Golden Harvest bought the Kowloon Cinemas, it has become the largest cinema in Xiangjiang.

"Buying the Kowloon Cinemas is only the first step for Golden Harvest. I have an appointment with the two of you today to represent Mr. Zou. I hope that you will seriously consider the proposal of returning to Golden Harvest."

He Guanchang looked at Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao seriously. He really came here today with sincerity.

Even if you buy the Kowloon Cinemas, there is no way for Golden Harvest to change the poor box office revenue.

What Golden Harvest has to do now is to find a way to bring back more stars, especially those who left Golden Harvest.

Inviting Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao back to Golden Harvest is something Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang dreamed of doing.

If the number and status of Golden Harvest's theaters could not impress them before, at this moment, He Guanchang felt that he was more confident and able to convince them.

"Mr. He, thank you for your invitation, but we are very happy in New Oriental, and we don't plan to change places for the time being."

Sammo Hung refused He Guanchang's invitation without even thinking about it.

Although Jiahe's current strength is more than double that of before.

However, when they teamed up with Bao Shaogang, they were all defeated by Lin Daoqiu.

Sammo Hung didn't think it would be a good choice to bring a group of brothers back to Golden Harvest at this time.

It seemed that Sammo Hung had already guessed that he would say this, but He Guanchang did not show any disappointment.

Then he took out a few things from the bag next to him, and placed them on the table.

"Here are two checks of 1000 million each, which are considered signing bonuses."

Pushed the two checks in front of Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao.

This signing fee can be said to be the highest price offered by the Xiangjiang film industry since its inception.

In addition to these two checks, He Guanchang also brought two identical contracts.

"In the future, Golden Harvest will only pay half of the movies made by San Mao and A Biao, and you will get 20.00% of the proceeds from the sale."

It can be said that compared to Xiangjiang's local box office revenue, selling ports is obviously more profitable.

It can be said that Golden Harvest spent a large enough amount of money to get Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao back this time.

The 1000 million check is attractive to Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, but it is not particularly big.

And Xiangjiang's local box office revenue is divided into half, which is not bad.

As for the [-]% profit from selling the port, this really moved Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao.

"I didn't expect Jiahe to value us so much. It really flattered me and A Biao."

Sammo Hung was indeed interested, but it was obviously impossible for him to agree immediately.

"Sanmao, if "Lucky Stars" were shown in Golden Harvest Cinemas, the box office would definitely exceed 4000 or even [-] million, but now..."

He Guanchang suddenly brought the topic to the box office.

It has to be said that compared to Golden Harvest's current number of theaters, New Oriental's theater chains are fully doubled.

Sammo Hung does not deny that if "Fuxing Gaozhao" is really shown in the current Golden Harvest, the box office will definitely be much higher than it is now.

But the problem is that if you accept Jiahe's invitation, it will be tantamount to betraying Lin Daoqiu.

Whether he and Yuen Biao can afford this price is not certain.

"Mr. He, I'm sorry, thank you very much for your love, but we have a good life in New Oriental, so we can only decline your invitation."

Sammo Hung reached out and pushed the check and documents back to He Guanchang.
