The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 70 "Decathlon" Huang Zhuohan
Knowing that Mr. Huang Zhuohan is in Taipei at the moment, Xu Guanwu didn't rush to meet him immediately.

He had only heard of Huang Zhuohan, but he didn't know anything about him.If you go there rashly, if the business cannot be negotiated, it will hurt each other instead.

"Brother, I have already watched "Where the Seagull Flies". Can't you ask someone to help you get in touch?" Xu Guanwu called back to Hong Kong for help.

Hearing the news from his second brother, Xu Guanwen also frowned.

He has also heard of the name of the first film company, but he has never dealt with it.

Because Xu Guanwen entered the film industry by himself only three or two years ago, and he has always served Shaw Brothers.There is no relationship with independent production companies such as First Film Corporation.

"Second brother, don't act blindly, wait for me to find out." After Xu Guanwen put down the phone, he immediately tried to contact the First Film Corporation.

Fortunately, the Hong Kong film industry itself is not very big, and thanks to favors, Xu Guanwen actually got in touch with Mr. Huang Zhuohan by virtue of his network.

……

Huang Zhuohan is releasing "Where the Seagull Flies" in Taiwan, and he was also surprised when he received a call from Xu Guanwen.

Huang Zhuohan was also extremely curious about the Xu brothers who had just emerged.

Building his own theater chain in Hong Kong and becoming a big film company that can be on an equal footing with Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest is what Huang Zhuohan dreamed of doing.

Although his qualifications are based on strength, he also has the qualifications to do it.But for various reasons, he never took this step.

But it took the four brothers less than a year to accomplish something that he had never done in his entire life.

When Xu Guanwen mentioned that he wanted "Where the Seagull Flies" to be screened in the Xu Brothers' theaters, Huang Zhuohan did not immediately answer.

Because he and Sir Yifu Shao have been friends for nearly 20 years, and they have had a long and close cooperation with each other.

In the past, all the films shot by First Pictures were screened in Shaw Cinemas.And Shao Yifu's conditions are quite generous, he has no reason to abandon his old friend and choose Xu Brothers Company.

Seeing Huang Zhuohan's hesitation, Xu Guanwen felt a chill in his heart.

He knew that based on the background of the Xu Brothers, it was difficult to compare with the Shao Brothers.Therefore, it is absolutely wise for First Pictures to choose Shaw Brothers instead of Xu Brothers.

But thinking that there would be tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars in losses every day because there would be no films released after the theater renovation, Xu Guanwen had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to invite Huang Zhuohan.

The conditions are naturally the best, not only does not charge the bottom fee, but also the box office share of the first week can be [-]% or [-]%.

In the past, when it was released in other theaters, the first week of box office splits was generally [-]% for A-level films, [-]% for B-level films, and [-]% for C-level films.

Xu Guanwen gave up [-]% of the profit with one mouthful.Don't underestimate the [-]% profit. If the film is a hit, the [-]% profit will be hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

You must know that in the 70s, it cost hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars to make a film.Hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars in those years, almost equivalent to tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars now.

Huang Zhuohan couldn't help being moved when he heard the conditions offered by Xu Guanwen.

But he heard that Xu Guanwu had arrived in Taiwan, so he was still interested in meeting him.

……

It was under such circumstances that Xu Guanwu met Huang Zhuohan, a film prodigy.

It is no exaggeration to say that Huang Zhuohan is a prodigy in the film industry, because he has the reputation of "decathlon", and he is proficient in production, distribution, editing, editing, photography, and publicity.

"Hello, Mr. Huang!" Xu Guanwu put his posture very low, because in front of him was a senior figure.When he started his business, Xu Guanwu still wore crotch pants.

Huang Zhuohan himself is very handsome. Although he is now in his 50s, he still has an extraordinary demeanor.In today's terms, he is regarded as a very attractive uncle.

"Let me pretend to be a senior and give you a little permission?" Huang Hanzhuo said with a smile.

"Of course, you are a senior." Xu Guanwu also smiled.

Huang Zhuohan was very happy, "Although I debuted a little earlier, but now the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and I was overtaken by you young people if I didn't pay attention."

"Where, where, we are newcomers, so please help me, senior." Xu Guanwu waved his hand quickly.

"The company has opened a theater chain in less than a year, and you have made a lot of money." Huang Zhuohan said, "Unfortunately, as seniors, I want to send you a word, which can be regarded as a reminder. You are developing too fast. If you step too big, you will fall if you don't pay attention."

Xu Guanwu sat upright, and nodded seriously, "Senior warned me that I did not think carefully before doing this."

"After all, you are young people, full of drive, but sometimes you have to look up at the road." Huang Zhuohan said with a smile, "By the way, I heard that you are going to introduce my "Where the Seagull Flies", right?"

"That's right, Mr. Huang, our theater chain has just been established, and we really need good films like "Where the Seagull Flies" to be released." Xu Guanwu said sincerely.

"Your elder brother has already told me the terms. To be honest, they are much better than those offered by Shaw Brothers." Huang Zhuohan nodded and said, "However, I have cooperated with Shaw Brothers for many years and have a deep friendship with each other, so I am very happy now. Difficult."

"Mr. Huang, we are very sincere in inviting you." Xu Guanwu thought for a while and said, "Although you and Shaw have been partners for many years, I think you and I can also cultivate a tacit understanding. You should give it to yourself Isn't there one more chance to choose?"

Huang Zhuohan pondered for a while, as if he was considering the gains and losses.

"Mr. Huang, apart from this film, your company's next three films, regardless of their quality, will enjoy the most generous sharing treatment." Xu Guanwu finally made a big bet.

It's not that he made his own claim again, this condition is the result of his discussion with his elder brother Xu Guanwen.

Only then was Huang Zhuohan moved, "Is this true?"

"Well, it's absolutely true." Xu Guanwu nodded solemnly.

"In this case, then I will release the movie "Where the Seagull Flies" in theaters of Xu Brothers Company." Huang Zhuohan finally made up his mind.

Because if all the four films enjoy the most generous sharing treatment, then First Film Company will earn an extra million Hong Kong dollars.

- This was considered quite a lot of money at the time.

Even if old friend Shao Yifu knew, it would be difficult to blame Huang Zhuohan.

Xu Guanwu successfully snatched the distribution rights of the movie "Where the Seagull Flies". Although he paid a high price, it was worth the money.

Especially after establishing a relationship with Huang Zhuohan, a big boss in Hong Kong and Taiwan, this trip to Taipei is really worthwhile.

Satisfied, Xu Guanwu planned to fly back to Hong Kong overnight, but before leaving, he received another call from Wu Dun.

But it turned out that Ms. Qiong Yao wanted to see herself.
