Hong Kong: Starting with 10 billion

Chapter 60: Big Pie for Jackie Chan
In fact, when Sammo Hung taught his junior fellow apprentice,
I have the confidence.

Since his debut in 1961, he has made nearly 90 films.

Finally last year in 1977,
The film "Monk Sande and Chung Mi Liu", which he directed, wrote and performed, grossed HK$228 million.

Ranked 9th on the Hong Kong movie box office list for the whole year.

Then, the film "The Confused and the Stupid" which he wrote and performed himself won a box office of 269 million Hong Kong dollars.

Ranked 6th on the Hong Kong movie box office list for the whole year.

Two consecutive movies entered the top ten of the box office chart.
This immediately established his status as a top celebrity.

At this time, he was able to sit down with Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers to negotiate terms.

As for Jackie Chan, although he has also acted in more than 20 movies, he mostly played supporting roles.

Although Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, which was released in March today, earned 3 million at the box office, it did not make it into the top ten of the Hong Kong box office chart.

Until the second half of this year, he filmed "Drunken Master" and won 676 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office.

Ranked 2nd in the annual box office chart.
He surpassed his senior brother in one fell swoop.

This made Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers try desperately to poach him from Lo Wei Pictures.

It can be said that 1978 was the year when Jackie Chan's career took off.
It was also the first year that he entered the ranks of Hong Kong's top male stars.

With Fang Hexuan's current wealth, he is trying to curry favor with an actor who is not yet famous.

It seems a bit like lowering one's status.

But from the perspective of the previous life, Jackie Chan is a huge treasure.

It’s not an exaggeration to call him a “treasure boy”!
If Golden Harvest had not been too weak, Jackie Chan would have wasted more than a decade of his time.

There was no way to allow him to enter Hollywood at his best age.

I'm afraid his influence in the world has long surpassed that of Bruce Lee.

Fang Hexuan never lacks a vision, even if it costs money.
As long as we can train more world-class stars and actors for the Chinese world,
This will be of great help to China's future influence in the world.

Moreover, Jackie Chan was trained early on.

It also greatly helped his automotive business.

When the two brothers were bickering with each other in a corner of the reception hall,
Fang Hexuan had been observing them for quite a while.

He asked Jiu Wenlong to invite the two men to a reception room.

At the same time, after instructing You Bingwen to treat the guests well,

So he left the scene.

After Fang Hexuan pushed the door and entered the reception room,
Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan saw that it was him who came in.

They all put down their coffee and stood up involuntarily.

Fang Hexuan chuckled, then shook hands with the two of them enthusiastically.

"You two are welcome, you are my distinguished guests, please feel free to do whatever you want."

"Thank you Mr. Fang for sending me the invitation!"

Sammo Hung spoke first, with a grateful look on his face.

"You are older than me, so I will call you Brother Sanmao. Do you mind?"

"No, you're the boss, and I'm just an actor. I don't dare to approach you!"

"What's there to be associating with? Brother Sanmao is also from Ningbo, we are from the same hometown, and we should be of the same family."

".hehe!"

Fang Hexuan turned to Jackie Chan who was sitting next to him.
"Is this Brother Long? He is indeed a man of vigor and vigor, and a handsome man!"

"No way! He can't compare to Master Fang who is handsome, tall and mighty!"

"Haha! Brother Long is more straightforward than Brother Sanmao. This is the only way to make communication more interesting."

"Haha, I don't think as much as my senior brother. I'm stupid and I can't speak well."

"But I am very optimistic about Brother Long!"

"."

After Fang Hexuan exchanged a few pleasantries with both of them, he turned to the formal topic.

"You two, I founded a film company a few days ago and plan to start shooting the first film soon."

"Looking at the Hong Kong film industry, I am most optimistic about the future of you two, and I would like to invite you to join DreamWorks Pictures."

After hearing this, both Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan were stunned at first, then the former fell into deep thought, while the latter smiled.

After waiting for half a minute, Sammo Hung said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Fang, I didn't mean to offend you on purpose, but I founded 'Garbo Pictures' with others last year, and it's not easy for me to go out and work alone!"

"Haha, Brother Sanmao is a loyal and honest man. I was rude to you."

"How about this, if DreamWorks Pictures has a role that's suitable for Brother Sanmao, please be sure to show me your favor. I'm sure you'll be satisfied with the pay!"

"That's no problem. We're all from the same hometown, and Mr. Fang thinks highly of me. If you need anything, I will definitely help you!"

"Haha, thank you very much, Brother Sanmao."

Fang Hexuan didn't have much thought about Sammo Hung.

This man has his own opinion.

Even if you want to use fellow townspeople to build relationships, it may not work.

His main target is Jackie Chan next to him,

No matter what kind of "deception" method is used,
We also want to get the other party into DreamWorks.

"Brother Long, what do you think?"

"Me? I'm still at Luo Wei Pictures, Mr. Fang, I'm sorry."

"Don't be so quick to refuse, Brother Long, can you please listen to my terms?"

".Oh, please tell me!"

"Brother Long, I've watched all your movies recently."

"Honestly, the plot is terrible and the characters are terrible!"

"But I found that your acting skills and movements are unique, the most special among all the male actors in Hong Kong, no doubt about it."

"Hong Kong's economy is undergoing transformation, and the Hong Kong government will vigorously develop industries such as finance, tourism and film."

"Therefore, I have no doubt that Hong Kong films will have a big explosion in the next few years. This will become the Hollywood of the East."

"I'm a good judge of people. I think you will become Hong Kong's most internationally renowned superstar in the future."

"You will be the pride of the Chinese world and the most important business card for foreigners to understand Chinese culture!"

"I know you are still at Luo Wei Films, and I also know that Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, Siyuan and other companies want to poach you."

"If your goal is just to become a famous male movie star in Hong Kong, then among these companies, I suggest you join Golden Harvest."

"But if your ideal is to go beyond this and want to go higher and further, enter Hollywood and become a world-famous star, then you should join DreamWorks."

"You should know that I am worth hundreds of millions. I made it in just three months, and I made it in prison. I will only get richer in the future."

"You may not know this yet, but I am planning to enter the automotive industry and will build my first automotive factory in the Mainland next year."

"I want to sell my cars all over the world, to the United States and Europe."

“To achieve this goal, I need movies to promote cars.”

“In the near future, maybe four or five years from now, I will go into Hollywood and acquire one or two of the Big Seven.”

“Have my car commercials appear in all the movies my company releases.”

"Therefore, please do not doubt my expectations and support for DreamWorks."

"DreamWorks is far from being comparable to these small companies in Hong Kong. It will be a Hollywood film company."

"I will not be like Mr. Lo Wei and Uncle Shao Liu, who desperately suppress their actors and stars for such a small amount of pay."

"We all come out to earn money to support our families, and we have no obligation to work for others for free."

"I can promise now that DreamWorks Pictures will be the film company that offers the highest salaries and pay among all the film and television companies in Hong Kong."

"As long as Brother Long joins DreamWorks, I will not only create a personal film series exclusively for Brother Long, but also make you the highest paid actor in Hong Kong, and let you enter Hollywood and become a global superstar."

"I make tens of billions of dollars every year, and I really don't bother to take advantage of my employees."

"If Brother Long wants to set up his own company or studio in the future, that's fine too. DreamWorks is very tolerant and open, and doesn't follow the big studio system."

"Your company can cooperate with DreamWorks in the future. You provide the people and scripts, and DreamWorks provides the studio, equipment, and distribution channels. If you make money, we can discuss the profit sharing."

"Brother Long, I think there is no company in Hong Kong that is more sincere, more powerful, and more visionary than DreamWorks."

"Mr. Zou Wenhuai of Golden Harvest may have some vision, but his strength and courage are far inferior to that of a young man like me who is worth billions."

"I've said so much, Brother Long, what do you think?"
