Hong Kong's new giants

Chapter 72 [Heroes]

DreamWorks.

It was Lin Zuhui who changed the name of his film company to 'DreamWorks' after spending 1 million to acquire a film company.

This name is too awesome!

Without even thinking about it, he crowned it.

As for the future development, he didn't worry about it.

Making movies is not about making money, and making money is not about making movies.

The company's shooting equipment is well-equipped, and there are still some personnel left, which saves a lot of trouble.

It has been a week since the acquisition, and the company's management has been reorganized. It's time to start filming.

Sitting in his office, Pan Cheng, the general manager of DreamWorks, walked in with Wu Baige after a while, and Lin Zuhui greeted him with a smile.

"Director Wu, this is our boss, Mr. Lin Zuhui!"

"Boss, this is director Wu Yusen!"

Yes, Lin Zuhui's first filming is "The True Colors of Heroes", the turnaround of Wu Yusen, Zhou Runhua and Dillon, the box office champion in 1986 in his previous life, and the pioneering work of the "True Colors of Heroes" series, which opened the Wu family A classic film of violent aesthetics.

At this time, Wu Yusen was at a low ebb in his career, and he was able to make a wave of investment.

In 1983, Wu Yusen filmed the movie "Heroes Have No Tears". Because of the use of real warheads, there were accidents and casualties;

If it waits until next year (1986), it will not be Lin Zuhui's turn to catch the leak. Others have taken refuge in New Art City and joined Xu Ke's studio.

After everyone sat down on the sofa, Lin Zuhui said: "Director Wu, our company wants to invite you to film this time, and hopes to invite you to film for a long time!"

Wu Yusen looked at the young Lin Zuhui, and his mood was not as good as the first time he learned that someone invited him to film a movie. How do you think this newly promoted young rich man is just for fun.

But it is better to be invited by someone than to be invited by no one.

"Boss Lin, what movie are you planning to make?"

"Action movie, and it's a shootout action movie!"

Wu Yusen was taken aback for a moment, his only gunfight action movie "Heroes Without Tears" has not yet been released because of the ban; this guy actually asked himself to make a gunfight action movie instead of a comedy.Could it be, really layman?
He tentatively asked: "Does Boss Lin have a script?"

Lin Zuhui directly took out the script of "The True Colors of a Hero" and handed it to him.Just a small director, don't you dare to be greedy for your own achievements?

Although it is a script, it is actually an extremely unprofessional script. Lin Zuhui just narrates the story from memory; of course, there are many classic lines.

"I endured it for three years, just waiting for an opportunity, not to prove how great I am, but to tell others that I must get back what I lost!"

"You must never give up, stick to it to the end, and don't let people look down on you."

"I haven't been a boss for many years!"

He also directly wrote out the shot of Brother Fa holding the toothpick, so that Brother Fa would not have to think about it again!

Even, the protagonist of this script has been changed to three protagonists, and who will be the protagonist in the end depends on the acting skills.In the original history, Fa Ge was only a supporting role at the beginning of the script, and Leslie Cheung was the protagonist.

Wu Baige read it very seriously, and the more he read it, the more he felt that the script was excellent.

"This script was rewritten by someone else based on Long Gang's 1967 version of "The True Colors of a Hero". I bought out the script. I read it and found that the script has many advantages, but it is not very professional. If Director Wu came to shoot it, Can be re-edited on it!"

He doesn't know how to write scripts, but he uses his memory and describes them in vernacular.

Wu Baige nodded, he has now decided to make this movie, and no one can stop him.

Because Wu Baige's career is sluggish now, he has no worries, so the two directly discussed the remuneration.

"A contract for up to three films. Although I'm an outdated director, Mr. Lin's film company is only a novice. How dare I put my future on it!"

Lin Zuhui wanted to spend 100 million to sign Wu Baige's five plays, but naturally he didn't want to 'cultivate' a good director with violent aesthetics, so he couldn't squeeze more oil and water.

"Although my film company is a novice, my financial strength is strong. As long as Director Wu has confidence in himself, our cooperation will have a bright future. I will take a step back and give you 3% of the profits in the Hong Kong market for each film. You Do your best to make a good movie for me."

He seems to remember that the box office of "The True Colors of Heroes" is 3500 million. If the theaters and movie theaters split 1000% and tax 8%, he can earn at least [-] million.This is still only Xiangjiang's profit. If it is bought out overseas, at least seventy-eight million profits can be made.

An investment of more than 200 million is enough, and the profits are indeed violent.

Wu Yusen was silent for a while, he was thinking, this young man is indeed worth a lot, if he signs five movies with him, at least he will get a basic guarantee.He is currently in Hong Kong and no one invites him to make a movie. It has only been two or three years, and he may be able to turn around again.

"The contract has to stipulate that I can film for other film companies during the performance of the contract!"

"No! But I can negotiate, our contract is for two years! Two years later, if your five-part contract is not completed, you can film for other film companies, but you still need to complete five films for us."

Everyone takes a step back, and everyone is content.

Wu Yusen asked again: "Independent film companies are very difficult. They don't have their own theaters, they can't get good schedules, and they can't get the box office profits immediately. Regarding this, what can Boss Lin do?"

"It doesn't matter! As far as I know, Shaw Cinemas will be renting out to Debao Films soon, and they will be short of film sources at that time; moreover, I have a very close relationship with Mr. Zou from Golden Harvest, he will take care of me!"

Lin Zuhui is not worried about the theater issue. He is now in contact with Jiahe Zou Wenhuai, and Zou Wenhuai does not dare to offend him, otherwise Jiahe's ace Cheng Long will suffer.Although it was threatening, Jiahe also had to take care of himself.

As for Zou Wenhuai's well-connected people in Xiangjiang, whether he will send out the society to trouble him is no longer under consideration.Since Lin Zuhui started his business, he has paid attention to issues such as his mouthpiece, backing, and security.Coupled with his strong physical fitness, it is more than enough to escape at critical moments.

In Xiangjiang, as long as you have money, associations will not dare to trouble you, because the laws of Xiangjiang are made for rich people; Hit the governor's mansion.

Except for the desperadoes from the mainland, no one dared to make trouble with the rich and powerful.

Wu Yusen didn't expect Lin Zuhui to have such a connection, even having a relationship with Jiahe, so there was no doubt about it.

Then, Lin Zuhui said: "I hope you can persuade Xu Ke to let his studio assist you in completing this movie!"

After all, Wu Yusen is still a rookie in gunfight action movies, so Lin Zuhui is still a little worried.

"This Xu Ke studio is serving New Art City, so I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

"I don't think it's too difficult. Xu Ke opened his studio to make money. I can pay 15 Hong Kong dollars."

Wu Yusen didn't feel uncomfortable because of Lin Zuhui's underestimation. After all, director Xu Ke's status is much higher than him.

And Lin Zuhui is also very confident that Xu Ke will join the team, because he also guest-starred in a movie of Debao Film Company this year. As long as he can make money, he has not signed a contract with New Art City.

"Okay, I'll try to help Boss Lin communicate!"

"Director Wu, you're wrong again! The film company is not my main business. I plan to hand over the entire production of the film to you and Manager Pan. Manager Pan will be the producer."

The general manager, Pan Cheng, is also a veteran in this industry, so it is perfect to be the supervisor. In this way, Lin Zuhui is not worried about being scammed by Wu Baige.

"En! In other respects, does Boss Lin have any orders?"

"Yes, I have chosen a few leading actors. Chow Yun Wah, Dillon, and Leslie Cheung are the leading actors of this film. Although there are not many female roles, I have also found a candidate."

Wu Yusen hesitated for a moment, and said, "Boss Lin, Chow Run Wah is now a poison at the box office, Dillon is now blocked by Shaw Brothers, and only Leslie Cheung is considered a big cast. Movies without a big cast are sold in theaters and overseas." It’s a shame.”

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "I'm a businessman! What I like most is to tap potential stocks instead of buying high-priced stocks. As long as the acting skills are good, I don't care about what you said."

"Okay! After all, my situation is the same as theirs. I believe we can all turn around this time."
