Chapter 312 The Arrogant Taiwanese Filmmaker

Xia Houmo did not disappoint Wang Xiaohu. This girl who was recommended by Linda to come to the company and had been hidden for a year was able to complete the recording of "Drunken Master" according to Wang Xiaohu's request in three days. After Wang Xiaohu listened carefully several times It feels pretty good, and I finally confirmed Xia Houmo's talent in music.And I called Linda to thank him: "Hey, Linda, thank you for the music talents you recommended for the company. The music Xiaoxia made meets my requirements."

"Really, congratulations to Tiger, you are finally willing to use Xia as your music creator. You don't know that Xia has endured a lot of psychological burdens for more than a year. She thinks she is a redundant part of the company, and even wants to change jobs. Thank God, you discovered her talent in time, so you won’t lose a single talent.” After hearing the good news, Linda felt much better, and she talked a lot about Xia Houmo’s situation on the phone .

Until today, Wang Xiaohu didn't realize that he had made a mistake. The Xia Houmo recommended by Linda was not simple. She received a good music study in the United States since she was a child. She has a natural superiority in music and hopes to enter a film company. Practicing her talents, this wish soon came true. She was recommended by Linda to join Xiehe Company, but she didn't get any signs of reuse for more than a year, which made her very distressed. Thank God, she finally gave her the opportunity to make a big splash.

"Yes, Linda, I almost let go of the musical genius." Wang Xiaohu said with a fluke, "How are you in Seattle?"

"Tiger, thank you for the money you transferred every month. I want to say that the current money is enough for our mother and son to live for more than a year. I heard that the company has fallen into a trough some time ago. You should invest the money in the company's construction. , then Bruce will feel relieved."

"Linda, you don't have to worry about the company's affairs. As long as I'm here, Xiehe will not be in crisis. I can assure you of this! As for the monthly living expenses, you still have to transfer money. I don't want to see you meet Any material difficulties." Wang Xiaohu sighed and said, "I believe that with the passage of time, you will soon be able to cheer yourself up."

"Thank you Tiger, oh, Brandon is clamoring to call you." Linda called.

I didn't see Li Guohao for more than half a year, and I really missed it, so Wang Xiaohu said: "Let him answer the phone." After a while, Li Guohao's immature voice came from the phone: "Hey, Papa Tiger, how are you doing in Hong Kong now? ?”

"Haha, of course I'm fine! But I'm worried if you're being mischievous."

"No, I'm very well-behaved now!" Li Guohao said: "Not only that, but now I insist on exercising every day."

"That's OK. Next month, I will go to Seattle to bring you back to Hong Kong, and then give you hellish training."

"Really! Papa Tiger, this is definitely a good idea!" Li Guohao said excitedly.

It seems that the life in Seattle does not attract Li Guohao, so that he can't wait to go back to Hong Kong, back to his uncle Tiger, and now Tiger's father.

Things seem to have a way out as Wang Xiaohu expected. The information about Li Guohao he saw in his previous life was all negative. He is withdrawn, negative, easily angered, and even likes to defend his dignity with his fists. Could it be that he has matured in this life?
Wang Xiaohu didn't have time to think about this issue, because soon he had to prepare for the release of "Drunken Master".

Yuan Heping seemed to be a little enthusiastic about the way of lottery to increase the box office. He waited passionately for Wang Xiaohu to give orders, and then he personally approached Yang Shenghua to discuss the matter. "Ahu, are we still holding a lottery this time?"

Wang Xiaohu's answer made him a little disappointed. "No, I've said it many times. The lottery is a last resort. The key point is the quality of the film. Brother Ping, don't you have any confidence in "Drunken Master"?"

"." This question choked Yuan Heping so badly that he didn't know how to answer it for a while. After he hesitated for a long time, he said, "I just feel that there are 30 TV sets left in our warehouse."

"I'm afraid it will be stolen in the warehouse, right?" Wang Xiaohu chuckled, how could he not know Yuan Heping's psychology, but he learned about Long Zichen's help behind the scenes from Gu Jiahui a few days ago, thinking about Long girl these days It's also a good intention, but this kind of kindness hurts a man's self-esteem too much.So this time "Drunken Master" was released, he refused to use this method to promote it, lest some people make irresponsible remarks, as if without the help of others, Xiehe Company would collapse! "Since you are afraid that others will steal it, it's very simple. The employees of the company carry one home with each other, and treat it as the benefits I will give you this month!"

"Really?" Not only Yuan Heping was happy now, but the others also asked loudly.

Wang Xiaohu nodded with a smile and said: "Of course it is true. Please report back and submit a list. According to how much contribution you have made in the company, as long as you have one qualified person, don't be discouraged if you are not qualified. There will be opportunities in the future, anyway. TV appliances will become popular sooner or later. Oh, by the way, don’t forget to send them to Xia Houmo, Weng Meiling, Xingzi, etc. from our company’s audio department.

"Thank you Brother Tiger!"

"Brother Tiger is wise!"

The entire Xiehe Company was caught in a wave of flattery. Who made Wang Xiaohu behave so generously and generously? This system of seeking benefits for employees everywhere is unique in the Hong Kong film industry. , The Shaw Group, which is highly regarded, may not be treated as well as a small employee of Xiehe.

The publicity work of "Drunken Master" started quickly. Yang Shenghua personally led a team to put up posters in the streets and alleys of Hong Kong. At the same time, he released the trailer of "Drunken Master" in 70 theaters and 20 small theaters. Singing the song "Drunken Master", Jackie Chan has become a new generation of kung fu idol, and his popularity index has been rising one after another.

Hong Kong's good publicity work naturally attracted the support of film producers from Taiwan, Macau, and Southeast Asian countries. Therefore, five days before the release of "Drunken Master", Xiehe Company welcomed film producers from six Southeast Asian countries.

During Wang Xiaohu's half a year of hard work for Golden Harvest, these film dealers had always had a direct dialogue with Zou Wenhuai. At that time, the films made by Golden Harvest were the source of the film dealers' survival and the source of their profits.Later, Wang Xiaohu jumped out of Golden Harvest. These film producers felt that Wang Xiaohu would not have much success, and second, they were afraid that the relationship with Golden Harvest would become stagnant, and they would no longer have good film agents in the future, so they have never dared to talk directly to Wang Xiaohu, especially After Bruce Lee's death, Golden Harvest followed up with a series of suppression on Xiehe, and these filmmakers were even more disappointed with Xiehe.

Originally they thought that Golden Harvest would continue to produce good films, but who knew that a "New Fist of Fury" would cost them nothing, and now Golden Harvest is cooperating with Warner to seek a battlefield in Hollywood. After a turnaround, the mercenary film dealers finally realized that they were wrong before, and the mistakes were too outrageous!So one after another came to show their favor, trying to get the distribution rights of "Drunken Master" from Wang Xiaohu.

There are two ways for film studios in Southeast Asia to purchase film copyrights. One is to directly buy the local copyright of a certain film at a fixed price. This is suitable for small and medium-sized productions, and it is easy to make money in a short period of time.The second is sharing, which is suitable for large-scale productions and blockbuster films.This is what Xu Junlong, the publicity manager who has not yet reported to the company, secretly told Wang Xiaohu. Although Xu Junlong's experience in this area is not as rich as Winterdur, he is better than he is familiar with the Hong Kong film circle. After he told Wang Xiaohu how to negotiate , Wang Xiaohu looked extraordinarily calm.

Once upon a time, Xiehe did not have its own distribution channels in other cities. When it was in Golden Harvest, it relied on the contacts of Golden Harvest. After leaving Golden Harvest, it relied on the connections of Shaw Brothers in Southeast Asia. Now we must establish our own distribution channels in Southeast Asia, and we cannot let this money go to other people's pockets.

Wang Xiaohu brought Yuan Heping, Hong Jinbao and others into the conference room, and was almost choked by the thick air in the room. Frowning, he saw six people smoking cigarettes while talking dirty jokes. man-made.

Wang Xiaohu asked Yuan Biao to open the window, and it took him a while to get used to the air in the room, so he frowned and sat down to look at the six people of different sizes, all dressed like bosses.

The six filmmakers are also looking at him, especially a big fat man sitting opposite Wang Xiaohu, squinting his small eyes and staring at Wang Xiaohu, thinking that he is good, this kid is less than 20 years old, and he has reached the level of a boss , Feeling a little unconvinced, he snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, took out a cigar from his pocket, and smoked it.

The smoke permeated the meeting room again. After Wang Xiaohu looked at each of them one by one, his eyes locked on the last person. He always felt that the person looked familiar, so he said to him, "I don't know how to call it?"

"Oh, Mr. Wang, my name is Wang Jiaxing. Speaking of which, we still have a relationship. My cousin's name is." Boss, right? His name is Tian Jianren, nice to meet you, hahaha!"

A puff of choking smoke from the cigar rushed to Wang Xiaohu's face, causing Wang Xiaohu's eyes to feel hot. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Bitch Tian?"

"Yes, does Boss Wang know my name?" Tian Jianren smoked his cigar vigorously, and said triumphantly, "I used to represent your films in Taiwan."

"Well, bitch is a good name!"
