Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 295 Untimely Proposal

After leaving the cafe and returning to the hotel where he was staying, as soon as Zhang Yang walked in, Su Jiawei took the initiative to find him.

"Brother Yang, there's a call from Hong Kong Island. I heard that Brother Min has something to ask you and wants you to call back."

Chen Huimin is looking for herself?

After hearing the news, Zhang Yang felt bad and didn't dare to delay. He immediately picked up the phone.

At this time, it was already past ten o'clock late at night here in the United States, while it was still early morning on Hong Kong Island.

For people like Chen Huimin who only come out for activities at night, this is undoubtedly not a good time.

But because of his anxiety, Zhang Yang didn't care and just dialed the phone hastily.

After the phone rang for a long time, I finally picked it up and heard the sound of Chen Huimi yawning.

"Yangzi, are you finally free to call me back?"

Hearing Chen Huimin's relaxed tone, Zhang Yang was secretly relieved.

From the looks of it, it shouldn't be a big problem.

He responded with a smile: "I heard from Su Jiawei that you came to me for something? What's the matter?"

Chen Huimin did not go around in circles. After retelling the outline of the previous events, she finally turned to the topic: "Now Xiang Huasheng wants to negotiate with you. As for how to negotiate, that is your business. His phone number Let me tell you, just give him a call when you have time. When the matter is over, just give me the results of whether those three people should be released or thrown into the sea."

"Okay, I understand Brother Min."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang sat by the bed and pondered.

To be honest, he didn't guess what Xiang Huasheng wanted to talk to him. He even felt that he and Xiang Huasheng had nothing to talk about. But now that the matter was at this point, Zhang Yang couldn't just pretend that he didn't hear or see, right?

This call must be made after all.

After sorting things out for a while, Zhang Yang dialed the number provided by Chen Huimin.

Another long wait.

Finally, the phone was picked up and a calm middle-aged male voice rang.

"Who?"

"Yingyang Entertainment, Zhang Yang."

These six simple words left Xiang Huasheng on the other side of the phone silent for a long time.

After a moment, the other party slowly said: "Has Chen Huimin told you about the situation?"

"Well, so I'm curious, what else can we talk about."

"Don't make things too tense, Zhang Yang, you are not a charlatan, you are a businessman. We think we can talk in a businessman's way, how about that?"

"Then let's talk about it. What do you want to talk about?"

Xiang Huasheng pondered for a moment, and then said: "Now everyone in Hong Kong knows that the fairy hair is a hen that can only lay golden eggs. There are more and more people joining the film and television industry. You can't hold on to him." Let go, even if the person causing trouble today is not me, it will be someone else. Chen Huimin can protect her for a while, but she will always risk her life."

"Well, keep talking." Zhang Yang said calmly without comment.

"Actually, it's not just you. If I am the only one holding this golden rooster, I can't do it. So no one can eat any side of this feast. Why don't we all sit down and share it together? And not only It’s fairy hair, and we can continue to play like this no matter what new star emerges in the film industry in the future.”

"Twelve months of a year, half a year for you, half a year for me, let these actors help our Liang family make movies, it's better than having a life-and-death situation where no one can survive, and you have Chen Huimin behind you, our Xiang family You should also know that when our two families sit together, let alone other gossips, the Hong Kong Governor would not dare to get into trouble. "

"How about it? My proposal is good for everyone." After Xiang Huasheng finished speaking, Zhang Yang finally realized what he wanted to do.

This guy just wants to unite with his Yingyang Entertainment to monopolize the schedules of these popular stars.

Is his suggestion too much?

Of course it is excessive, because this is completely treating actors as goods.

But can this be done?

The answer is frustratingly feasible.

In fact, except for the Golden Harvest group and the half-dead New Arts City group, most of the hot movies in Hong Kong Island are now produced by Ying Yang Entertainment. Not only Chow Yun-fat, but also Liu Qingyun, Liang Jiahui, Simon Yam, and many stars under Ying Yang Entertainment. All have the potential to become popular.

If we really cooperate with the Xiang family, Zhang Yang can indeed save a lot of trouble, and there is no loss that is too unacceptable. After all, as Xiang Huasheng said, even Yingyang Entertainment cannot guarantee All the actors have work and filming every day, 365 days a year.

But do we really want to agree to the Xiang family?

Zhang Yang's answer is [-]% no.

reason?

Is there any need for a reason?

He is just a film company owner and actor, not a real club boy!

For Zhang Yang now, reputation is more important than money.

His Xiang family didn't care about being talked about behind his back, and he couldn't do anything to show off. He also hoped to use his influence to do something real, instead of being a ruthless harvester.

But how to reply to Xiang Huasheng?

Just break up like that? That's definitely the worst thing to do.

He didn't want to have to be wary of someone pointing a gun at him all the time.

Don't take the initiative, don't refuse, and don't be responsible.

At the moment, this most masculine behavior is the only good way out that Zhang Yang can think of.

As for how to really solve the Xiang family's troubles, publicity alone will definitely not work, but that doesn't mean that no one can cure them.

After thinking about this clearly, Zhang Yang spoke slowly to the phone.

"Mr. Xiang, I don't understand what you are talking about, but what I can say is that Yingyang Entertainment's artist contracts have always been very clear. As long as the schedule is informed one month in advance, we will not prevent our artists from going out for filming, let alone Zhou Runfa is not yet one of our artists."

"If you want to ask him to shoot, it's very simple. Talk to him about the filming and give him enough salary. If the script is not too difficult for him, he will naturally go for it. As for our Yingyang Entertainment Company, we shoot for each artist. Plans are not made every day, they have a few months every year to shoot what they want to shoot.”

"I can't remember what you just said on the phone, and I have no interest in remembering it. I just want to quietly film and wait for the release of the movie and wait for the box office data to be announced. The rest, I don't want to and can't control. This is my attitude. , but I have to make one thing clear again. If the artist is working at Yingyang, I don’t want anything to happen to him. This will damage my company’s brand. As for your three unprofessional negotiators, I will ask them to go Yes, that’s it.”

"Beep...beep..."

The phone hung up, leaving only a residual busy tone.

Xiang Huasheng on the other end of the phone raised his eyebrows and carefully recalled the content of Zhang Yang's conversation.

After a long time, he suddenly smiled and murmured something as if talking to himself.

"This publicity... is really interesting."

"Okay, then I'll wait and see this time to see if I guess your idea correctly."
