Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 264 Persuasion
Two days later, a phone call from Pan Disheng disrupted Zhang Yang's regular holiday.

On the phone, Pan Disheng only said that he had arranged a dinner specially, but he refused to say the specific reason.

Zhang Yang and him can be regarded as business partners who have joined hands with each other very early. Although they have no relatives or friends in the business, now that the other party has taken the initiative to come to him to make a dinner date, Zhang Yang will naturally not refuse. After asking about the hotel box, Get up and go out.

Two hours later, Zhang Yang drove the car downstairs to the Peninsula Hotel.

Without any instructions, when the car was parked, the doorman came forward, took the key thrown by Zhang Yang, and skillfully parked the car into the parking space. Zhang Yang himself stepped into the elevator under the guidance of the waiter. Go straight to the top.

Soon, with the sound of "ding", the elevator door opened.

As soon as Zhang Yang stepped out, he found Pan Disheng standing on the corridor outside the box, frowning.

Curiously, Pan Disheng came forward and before Zhang Yang could speak, Pan Disheng raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Yang.

"Yangzi, you are finally here."

"What's the matter, so urgent."

Looking at Pan Disheng's frowning expression, no matter how stupid Zhang Yang was, he could guess that something must have happened. Otherwise, with Pan Disheng's character, he would never be in such a worried state.

Pan Disheng hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed. He didn't hide it, but simply said: "Jiahe issued a notice telling Hong Jinbao not to make films for Debao anymore. I really couldn't persuade him, so I decided to hold it this time. In the name of a break-up meal, I wanted you to help me persuade him."

Did Jiahe impose a ban on Hong Jinbao?

This somewhat sudden news was something Zhang Yang had never expected before.

According to his memory, when Hong Jinbao was forced to choose between Jiahe and Debao, it must have been at least 92. But now in early 87, Jiahe was five years ahead of schedule and couldn't wait to force Hong Jinbao to give up Debao. Film industry...

Could it be that because of his joining, Deyang Cinema Line has risen too quickly, so are Jiahe's senior management under pressure?
At this point, Zhang Yang only had this guess to explain it.

It's just that although he figured out the reason, how to actually dissuade Hong Jinbao was another difficult task.

In the original timeline, Hong Jinbao invested more and more in Debao Cinemas, and internal corruption problems had begun to become prominent. When faced with the multiple-choice question between Jiahe and Debao Pictures, Hong Jinbao... I have never given up on Jiahe, let alone that Jiahe has not yet entered Chimu.

I really want to persuade.

Although Debao Pictures has not produced many high-quality films, it has also produced many blockbuster series, such as "The Royal Sister", which has been produced for as many as seven movies, and the currently popular "Rich and Rich".

Now if Hong Jinbao withdraws so quickly, the gap in the schedule that was originally filled by Yingyang and Debao will inevitably become Zhang Yang's alone in the next short period of time. For Zhang Yang, this can be said to do more harm than good. profit.

After all, the current fierce battle between Golden Princess, Golden Harvest, and Deyang Theaters is still in a critical period. There is internal competition for schedules, which is much better than the supply of films being in short supply. After all, if there are no eye-catching new films out there, who is willing to come back? What about those old movies in the cinema?

The only question is whether he can really persuade Hong Jinbao. To be honest, even Zhang Yang, who never fights unprepared battles, has no confidence at all this time. Whether he can succeed in the end, he has no confidence at all.I can only give it a try.

When things got to this point, even if Zhang Yang was unprepared, there was no room for relaxation.

"I try my best."

Helplessly saying these three words to Pan Disheng, Zhang Yang patted his cheek, not letting the bitter look remain on his face. Instead, he opened the box door with a smile and led Pan Disheng into the box.

In the box, Hong Jinbao was indeed sitting in the main seat. Next to him, there was Cen Jianxun with curly hair.

The original "Five Lucky Stars" made Cen Jianxun and Hong Jinbao get to know each other. It was the two of them who first jointly created the Debao Pictures, which attracted Pan Disheng's favor and finally completed the acquisition of Debao. Today's Debao is now film industry.

It can be said that apart from Pan Di Sheng, an investor who only wants to flatter his wife Yang Ziqiong, Shun Jianxun is the actual leader of Debao Pictures. Even every time Debao Pictures releases a new film, Shun Jianxun, like Hong Jinbao, always has the director. title.

However, unlike Sammo Hung, when Sum Jianxun devoted himself to Debao Pictures, he and Jiahe had already completely broken off. In addition, when he proposed to shoot "The Brave Cannon", he was just trying to catch up with "The Five". The IP influence of "Lucky Star" is used to win box office for Debao Cinemas. This kind of behavior is naturally unacceptable to Golden Harvest.

If Hong Jinbao can do it, it’s because Hong Jinbao is his great contributor to Jiahe. Are you, Cen Jianxun, a thing?How could Jiahe keep his good temper and spoil you?
At this point, Cen Jianxun was completely kicked out of Jiahe, and now Hong Jinbao is facing a dilemma. It can be said that Cen Jianxun is even more reluctant to see Hong Jinbao leave than Pan Disheng. After all, if Hong Jinbao is not around, Cen Jianxun knows very well that it will be difficult for him alone to film Make films that are both well-received and well-received.

However, Hong Jinbao seemed to be unable to listen to Cen Jianxun's chatter at this time. As soon as the box door opened, he raised his head curiously and directly met Zhang Yang's eyes. It was easy to see from the surprise in his eyes that he did not expect that Zhang Yang would actually Show up here.

But soon, he turned his head and glanced at Pan Disheng, then shook his head with a wry smile.

We are all people who have been in the fame and fortune industry for many years. It is not difficult to guess why Zhang Yang is here.

But precisely because he guessed the reason why Zhang Yang appeared here, Hong Jinbao became even more troubled.

Zhang Yang also saw Hong Jinbao's dilemma. After sitting down, he didn't go around in circles to make Hong Jinbao more troubled. Instead, he poured a glass of wine and placed it in front of Hong Jinbao. He said softly: "Brother Jinbao, I don't know what you think. Yes, how do you plan it, but I can tell you first how I think about it."

Hong Jinbao picked up the wine glass and didn't answer. He was also curious about what Zhang Yang was going to say.

"Do you know how much money the movie "Food Truck" made overseas?" Hong Jinbao was startled when he heard this.

Although the issue of the revenue sharing of overseas box office has been written directly by Jiahe, in fact, no one like them knows the specific overseas box office data.

"You also know that I have a relatively good relationship with Laura Fanna. I asked her to inquire about it afterwards. The data is very good, and it is completely different from what we got." Zhang Yang paused, then shook his head and chuckled, "Say To be honest, I’m not surprised by this result.”

"Ying Yang's films are also being distributed overseas. If there is a chance, which distributor wouldn't try to steal some box office to enrich their own pockets? We can only strictly urge and investigate, but Jiahe's distribution How hard is it? They don’t let us know the overseas box office data at all now!”

"Yes, it's less money. You can admit it, and I can admit it, but I'm afraid that one day, if Jiahe directly fills in a 0 in the overseas box office column, Brother Jinbao, what do you think we should do then? ?”
