Shek O Manor.

In the outdoor swimming pool behind the main building.

At this moment, Xu Cun is talking to Li Saifeng, Luo Meiwei, Li Lizhen, Zhou Huimin, Lan Jieying, Zhu Baoyi, Zeng Huaqian, Tomita Yasuko, Noguchi Nanako, Wu Wanfang, Yang Gangli, Chen Hong and Jin Zhixiu who are wearing various bikinis. , Li Shanzhen, Song Yuner, Ma Yanli, He Meitian, Shu Qi, Xu Ruoxuan, Jia Jingwen, Zhu Jun, Xiao Shi, Theron, Beckinsale, Aishwarya, Yang Caini, Xu Jinglei, Li Yanli, Li Xiuxiu, Wang Yan Wait for a lot of beautiful women to play in the swimming pool and enjoy the happy life created by their hard work for many years.

By the way, Zhong Lidi, who has been secretly determined to "leave Xu Cun tomorrow and live your own life", is also swimming in a corner of the swimming pool at this moment.

In order to find a reason to convince her to stay by Xu Cun's side all the time, not long ago, Zhong Lidi agreed to become one of Xu Cun's personal secretaries - the only personal secretary that Xu Cun has not completely pushed.

"Ring Ling Ling…"

Hearing Xu Cun's personal phone ringing, Zhong Lidi immediately swam to the edge of the swimming pool, then went ashore, and then picked up Xu Cun's phone to connect.

Just listening to the other party say a few words, Zhong Lidi said: "Sister Huizhong, wait a moment, I'll ask him to answer the phone."

Afterwards, Zhong Lidi took the phone to Xu Cun, who was having fun surrounded by all the girls.

Hearing Zhong Lidi calling him, Xu Cun pulled his hands out of Li Shanzhen's and Aishwarya's swimsuits, respectively, and swam to the edge of the swimming pool to answer the phone.

Soon, Hu Huizhong's voice came from the other side of the phone: "Brother Cun, Yang Dengkui and Xiang Huasheng want to invite you to do justice for them, how should I reply to them?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Cun said, "Let them come to Shek Ao in two hours."

actually-

Under the management of Xu Cun for many years, it is impossible for the hidden dangers of Hong Kong films to erupt in 1993 like the previous life.

The reason why the hidden dangers of Hong Kong films broke out in 1993 just like the previous life was because Xu Cun deliberately did it.

Normally, DreamWorks is a must for the New Year's Eve every year, and it has won the championship for many years in a row.

But-

At the end of last year, Xu Cun personally ordered the cancellation of "Fast and Furious" and "Iron Man" that were originally planned to be released in the 1993 Lunar New Year. In addition, Xu Cun also suppressed the "Wolverine 2" that Golden Harvest was planning to release.

Without the cover of these three films, the problems of Hong Kong films were exposed at once.

Why did Xu Cun do this?

Because Xu Cun realized that if the problems existing in Hong Kong films are not resolved, it is likely to leave hidden dangers for the development of Hong Kong films.

In order to solve this problem, we must first make everyone aware of this problem!

in the conference room of the office building.

Many people who came to Shek O Manor for the first time were shocked by the beauty of Shek O, and they were more in awe of Xu Cun than before. In the past two years, the real estate in Xiangjiang has risen in a mess. Therefore, if you estimate the value of Shek O Manor now. The price is worth five or sixty billion Hong Kong dollars at least. How can these people, who are only a few hundred thousand, several million, or tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, not be in awe of Xu Cun, who owns properties worth tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. Heart?

Driven by these people, whether it is a Taiwanese film dealer or a filmmaker in Xiangjiang, everyone is in awe of Xu Cun!

So much so that when Xu Cun appeared, everyone stood up to greet him, and when Xu Cun sat down, they dared to sit down—the unruly and unruly of them all became extremely well-behaved!

This is undoubtedly a good start for the negotiations between the two sides.

Wait until the guests are all seated.

Xu Cun said straight to the point: "Tell me, what are you looking for from me?"

Yang Dengkui got up and said: "Mr. Xu, we hope that Hong Kong can standardize the remuneration of stars, urge Hong Kong films to be delivered on time, and release Hong Kong films by commission instead."

Xu Cun asked, "What is the method of dividing the commission?"

Yang Dengkui explained: "We think that a 20% commission will be paid for films with a box office of less than 10 million yuan, a 15% commission for films with a box office of more than 10 million yuan, and a 10% commission for films with a box office of more than 50 million yuan. The commission for the thirteenth, every time the box office goes up by 10 million, the distribution commission will be reduced by 1%, and the minimum will be reduced to 6%."

Xiang Huasheng stood up and said, "Mr. Xu, we don't agree with this way of sharing the shares. There are very few films with a box office of more than NT$10 million. If they go to the cinema, they will take another 20%. , we won't earn anything!"

Qiu Fusheng got up and said, "Why do we switch to commission distribution? It's because Hong Kong films are now shoddy, the regular box office is less than 10 million, and the cost of purchasing films is unreasonably high, which makes us not only unprofitable, but sometimes also It will lose money, and it will be fairer to everyone to change it to the method of commission distribution."

Among the filmmakers in Xiangjiang, there are still people who want to stand up and fight, but Xu Cun said directly: "The way of sharing is indeed fair, if you have the ability, you can make money, and you can make a lot of money. Opportunities are given to those who are capable.”

As soon as Xu Cun said this, the faces of the filmmakers on the Xiangjiang side all turned bad, and Xiang Huasheng's face became even blue and white!

Changed to the commission method, it is not only that Xiangjiang earns less, but there are other tricks in it.

Before this, Taiwan film benders were negotiating to buy films. They had to pay for the distribution rights of Hong Kong films in Taiwan, and then wait for the film company in Hong Kong to make the film, and then take it to the Taiwan area for distribution and release.

This method has two advantages for the film companies in Xiangjiang - one is that the funds can be recovered quickly, and the film can be paid for before the film is released in Taiwan; the other is that there is no need to take risks, even if the film is rubbish. , anyway, when the film was sold, the money was already in hand. Whether it can make a box office or not is something that Taiwan benders need to worry about.

Once the commission distribution method is adopted, then the film companies in Hong Kong will have to wait until the film is released before they can withdraw their funds. This is not a good thing for the film companies in Hong Kong, especially those small film companies.

but-

Even so, no one dared to speak up, including the two brothers Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng.

It can be seen that Xu has a position in the Hong Kong film industry.

A group of film dealers in Taiwan saw that Xu Cun supported their commissioned distribution, and everyone couldn’t close their mouths—they knew that since Xu Cun spoke up, no matter whether the film companies in Xiangjiang were willing or not, they had to implement commissioned distribution. , who dares to come out and oppose it, that is to hit Xu Cun in the face, and he has to face Xu Cun's crushing!

However-

Xu Cun quickly said again: "However, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com The percentage of staking you proposed is not good, at least the two parts below 10 million and 10 million to 20 million are not good, you can't just guarantee You, don't guarantee us."

As soon as Xu Cun said these words, the smiles of Taiwanese filmmakers froze, and the expressions of the filmmakers in Xiangjiang became better.

Xu Cun continued: "How much is suitable, you can discuss it yourself, but I will only give you one week to discuss. If you can't discuss a result within a week, I will judge who the problem is, and I will block whoever."

Xu Cun's tone was very flat, but there was one person present, and all of them were tight-hearted - with Xu Cun's current strength in the film industry, if he really wanted to block a person, no matter who he was, there would be only one person. This is the way to leave the film industry!

No one wants to leave the film industry like this, so everyone secretly made up their minds: "It must be done within a week!"

Xu Cun didn't care what they were thinking, but said again, "Let's talk about the next question..."
