Chapter 702 Investing in Huaxin (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

  Central, Chinese Walk.

  Xu Yi brought the two old men to Chu Huan's office, and after seeing the two of them, Chu Huan got up to greet them in person.

   "Mr. Liao, Director Fu!"

  Mr. Liao, now the director of the Liaison Office between Xiangjiang and his hometown, can be regarded as the number one official in his hometown in Xiangjiang, and he is also an existence who has entered the power center.

As for Director Fu, named Fu Qi, he is now the owner of Xiangjiang Great Wall Film Company. He was also a famous actor and director in Xiangjiang before, but his reputation is not obvious in later generations. That one is Director Fu's daughter.

  Earlier, Mr. Liao called Chu Huan personally, saying that he had something to discuss, so Chu Huan invited Mr. Liao to the company, but he did not expect Mr. Liao to come here with Fu Qi!

   "Mr. Chu, this time, I will go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing!"

  Although Mr. Liao is 71 years old, his voice is still loud and powerful.

   After inviting the two of them to sit down, Chu Huan said with a smile: "Mr. Liao came here in person. If I can help, I must be obliged to do so!"

  Mr. Liao laughed gratefully, and said: "I feel much more at ease with Director Chu's words. To be honest, I came to see Director Chu this time, and I really hope that I can get your support for some things."

  Chu Huan nodded and said, "Mr. Liao, please speak."

Then Chu Huan knew the reason why the two came to him. It turned out that Xiangjiang's movies are getting more and more popular, and Mr. Liao himself is a kung fu fan, so this time he came to Chu Huan, hoping to cooperate with Xiangjiang and shoot in his hometown. A movie about Chinese Kung Fu.

   And Mr. Liao meant to shoot with the theme of Shaolin Temple.

  Hearing this, Chu Huan vaguely guessed which movie Liao Gong was talking about, and it should be the movie "Shaolin Temple" that made Li Lianjie popular all over the country!

   Only in Chu Huan's memory, this movie was only released in 1982. Why are you starting preparations now?

   This involves Chu Huan's poor knowledge of the entertainment industry.

In fact, as early as 1979, preparations for the film "Shaolin Temple" had already begun, but at that time the original cast of this film was not Zhang Xinyan, and the starring role was not Li Lianjie, but another actor from the Great Wall Film Company. After filming half of the film, the film company saw the finished film and was very dissatisfied, so they decided to re-shoot, and there was Li Lianjie's version.

  Although there was some doubt in his heart, Chu Huan still said: "Mr. Liao, this is not a big deal. Besides, with the help of Great Wall, Phoenix, and Xinlian, three film companies, it shouldn't be a big problem to shoot a movie!"

Although the movie "Shaolin Temple" was not only very successful in his hometown, but also in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, Japan and other places, it was difficult to attract Chu Huan's attention to this kind of thing, so at this time Mr. Seeing Fu Qi come to find him, this made Chu Huan feel very strange.

   To use an inappropriate metaphor, it is to kill chickens with a bull's knife.

Liao Gong said with a smile: "The Great Wall, Phoenix, and Xinlian are indeed very interested in this project, but we still hope that this film can have black and white images. After all, black and white images have the status of everyone in Xiangjiang. We all know it, and with the participation of black and white images, we can better negotiate with Japan's 'Japan Shaolin Temple Boxing Alliance'."

   Later, with Liao Gong’s explanation, Chu Huan finally understood what happened. This film was initiated by Liao Gong, but in fact, the initiator has another capital, that is, the Japanese Shaolin Temple Boxing Alliance.

And Chu Huan also understood what the other party meant at this time, and said in his mouth that he was promoting Shaolin boxing techniques, but according to Chu Huan's guess, they still wanted to use such a movie to enhance their own influence in Japan. of.

This is the same reason as Wang Sunglasses and Huang Boming, the two versions of "The Grandmaster" and "Ip Man", there are shadows of Wing Chun heirs. They both want to use the promotion of the movie to enhance the influence of their boxing skills. .

According to Mr. Liao's explanation, no matter what the other party's thoughts are, he still hopes to have black and white images to participate. One is because of the influence of black and white images. It's completely different.

Nowadays, although Black and White Media’s Black and White theater chain has opened channels in Europe, for most Xiangjiang filmmakers, the Taiwan Island market is still their largest market. Except for the three film companies, Phoenix, and Xinlian, other film companies are still very taboo to cooperate with filmmakers from their hometown.

  Because once you cooperate with filmmakers from your hometown, they will lose the market in Taiwan.

  The only thing that can break this point is a black and white movie.

  Chu Huan pondered for a while, and suddenly had an idea in his mind. Although Wang Sunjing's "The Great Master" is a movie with Wing Chun Ip Man as the main line, in fact, it still mixes other martial arts from Huaguo into it.

  The most important task of black-and-white images nowadays is to create their own movie universe, and now there is a universe of Hong Kong police and robbers!

  The opening chapter "Best Partner" also got off to a good start, and is planning to launch the series "Five Lucky Stars" in this year's summer vacation, taking over "Best Partner".

Different from another time and space, in another time and space of Hong Kong movies, the two series "Best Partner" and "Five Lucky Stars" are used to fight against each other, but now these two series are in the hands of black and white images, Chu Huan even created these two series into a complete universe of Xiangjiang police and gangster films.

In addition, another movie universe that black-and-white images are preparing for is actually Huaguo's Xianxia universe. Even the characters in the first movie have already been handed over to fantasy comics to create comics. Now we are waiting for the development of movie technology. If the development of film technology can keep up, the first film of this type will be produced to test the waters.

   If you join Huaguo's martial arts now and create a martial arts universe, there is actually a lot to do.

  Shaolin boxing, Taijiquan, Wing Chun, Hongquan, etc., all have their own representative characters, but the most difficult thing here is the setting of the era.

   Seeing that Chu Huan hadn’t said a word, Mr. Liao thought that Chu Huan was in trouble for this matter, so he said with a forced smile: "If there is any difficulty on Mr. Chu's side."

Only then did Chu Huan realize it in his own thoughts, and said with a smile: "There is nothing difficult, this matter is a good thing, there is nothing wrong with our black-and-white images, but I am not much involved in the management of the film company. , Why don't I call Fang Jianhui here and ask him to discuss it with Mr. Liao!"

   Seeing this, Mr. Liao quickly thanked him.

  Chu Huan signaled Xu Yi to call Fang Jianhui.

   More than half an hour later, Fang Jianhui came to Chu Huan's office, "Chairman, what's the matter, I'm in a hurry"

  Fang Jianhui, who just came to Chu Huan's office, was about to complain about how hard he had been during this time, when he saw Liao Gong and Director Fu here.

   "Mr. Liao, Director Fu!"

   Liao Gong and Fu Dao also stood up to shake hands with Fang Jianhui, while Chu Huan told Fang Jianhui why Liao Gong and Fu Dao came to him.

After Fang Jianhui listened to it, he said: "I've heard people in the circle say about this matter. There is no problem with investment, but I don't know how Mr. Liao plans to distribute dividends in the future. Xiangjiang, Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea There is no problem with the release in other places, and even the European release channels can be arranged by our black and white media, but the situation in my hometown, I think you should know better than me, Mr. Liao, the new policy just introduced is enough to cause headaches for everyone !"

Just now, in August, my hometown implemented a new policy on film development, which can be summed up in one sentence, that is, don't care how much money you invested in the filming of the film, and don't care about the post-production How much did the movie sell for? China Film, the official distribution company of my hometown, will only pay the studio a purchase fee of 900,000 yuan. The fee is fixed, which is 900,000!

Now the movie proposed by Mr. Liao now has the capital of Xiangjiang, Japan, and his hometown. Fang Jianhui is most worried about the matter of going outside. After all, Mr. Liao has also mentioned it just now. I hope Except for the home market, the film will be distributed independently by China Film, and Xiangjiang will be jointly distributed by Black and White Media and Shuangnan Cinemas. Outside of these two places, it is hoped that Black and White Cinemas will be released independently.

  Xiangjiang, and the distribution in other places are easy to say. According to the current situation of Black and White Cinemas, the release of this movie will not cause problems with Taiwan, but it is impossible for this movie to be released in Taiwan.

  It’s easy to say where it’s released, but it’s hard to say where the box office is.

  Fang Jianhui knows that Chu Huan has always been very optimistic about the market in his hometown, so he is also very concerned about the film market in his hometown. There has just been a new policy there, so he knows it.

  Facing Fang Jianhui's question, Mr. Liao also had some headaches. Although he hoped that this matter could be facilitated, he also knew that it could not be explained clearly in one or two sentences about the film environment in his hometown!

This is the box office record that Fang Jianhui did not know when this movie was released in his hometown in the future. A movie sold more than 100 million in his hometown in 1982. What kind of concept is this, let alone the whole Xiangjiang now There are movies with a box office of more than 100 million, and even a movie with a box office of 40 million has not yet been born.

In another time and space, the movie "Best Partner" set a box office record in Xiangjiang, with more than 26 million Hong Kong dollars. Now, because of the blessing of black and white theaters, this movie has become the first movie in Xiangjiang to break through 30 million box office. .

   In Fang Jianhui's view, this data is already the box office ceiling of Xiangjiang movies. Unless the ticket prices of Xiangjiang movies increase again later, this data will be difficult to break.

   "Mr. Fang, since you know the situation in your hometown, I think you should also understand that there is a policy in one place, and none of us can break it."

  In the end, Mr. Liao could only give Fang Jianhui an ambiguous answer.

   Seeing what Fang Jianhui wanted to say, Chu Huan said at this moment: "I don't know what the Japanese capitalists think?"

There are three capital parties in the whole movie. Although Chu Huan knows the box office of the movie "Shaolin Temple" in his hometown, Chu Huan actually understands that even for this joint venture movie, his hometown is willing to share dividends in the form of dividends. It's also impossible, not to mention that my hometown doesn't have any box office statistics at all. Even if there are statistics, according to the current situation of my hometown, it doesn't mean that I will be able to get the share of the 160 million Huaxia coins.

Because in his hometown, not every movie ticket is bought and sold in cash, and even through some other cooperation, Chu Huan has seen a video in later generations, saying that it is in a place in his hometown, and it can be bought and sold by moving bricks. Get movie tickets.

  Plus the copy of my hometown was printed privately.

  To be honest, Chu Huan is skeptical about the 160 million box office of "Shaolin Temple". It is very likely that this is not the final box office at all.

  Of course, with the figure of 160 million, Chu Huan's idea is that the real box office should be as high as it is!

"The Japanese side didn't have much to say. They are willing to do this according to our situation, but they also mentioned that the box office in other markets should be divided according to their respective investment ratios. of!"

  Mr. Liao replied.

  They naturally don't care, as long as this movie can become popular in Japan, it is actually a success for them.

   And the movie "Shaolin Temple" did not disappoint them. When it was released, it won a box office of more than 4 billion yen in Japan.

  Chu Huan nodded, and said: "Since the Japanese side should make such a compromise, we naturally have no problem, so let's follow this procedure. As for the issue, there is no problem!"

  Chu Huan also wants to get the box office share of his hometown, but the current situation is basically impossible, so instead of doing the impossible, it is better to grasp what can be grasped now.

  Seeing that Chu Huan had agreed, Mr. Liao finally showed a smile on his face, but the smile didn't last long, because Chu Huan next brought up something that made him a little embarrassed.

"Although this movie is jointly invested and produced by our three parties, I still hope to get the copyright of this movie, which is the entire copyright. For this, our company is willing to give a certain amount of money to compensate the capital of Great Wall and Japan. square!"

The movie "Shaolin Temple" will definitely not be used by Chu Huan as the pioneering work of the kung fu universe, but such a movie can generate many things, the simplest ones are the rental and sale of video tapes and broadcasting on TV stations .

  Of course, this movie can be released in a remastered version at a later stage. In fact, it can also collect a wave of sentimental funds.

   It can be said that in the entire office, except for Chu Huan who knows how the movie "Shaolin Temple" was successful, no one else knows, so Mr. Liao was simply embarrassed, and then he smiled and said.

   "I personally have no opinion on this matter, but I still need to discuss it with my hometown and Japan!"

  Chu Huan nodded with a smile and said, "It's natural. As for the specific price, let's discuss it!"

  At this stage, basically the follow-up operation of this movie has nothing to do with Chu Huan, and Fang Jianhui can manage it with full authority.

  A few days later, Fang Jianhui found Chu Huan and reported the follow-up situation to Chu Huan.

  First of all, regarding the sale of the full copyright, both my hometown and Japan have given affirmative answers, and a price of 4 million Hong Kong dollars will be paid for this black and white impact.

  Secondly, the members of the Japan Shaolin Temple Boxing Alliance made a request, that is, if the filming of the film does not meet their requirements, they have the right to demand that the film be re-shot!

As I said before, the request of the Japan Shaolin Temple Boxing Alliance is actually to promote their alliance, not to make a lot of money from this movie, so they readily agreed to sell the full copyright to the black and white video, But they demanded the absolute right to shoot the film.

  Chu Huan just thought about it briefly, and agreed to the request.

   "Chairman, do you think we can use this movie to let black and white media enter the home market in advance?"

After discussing the situation of "Shaolin Temple", Fang Jianhui put forward his own ideas to Chu Huan. He didn't know that the movie market in his hometown would become the second largest movie market in the world in the future. Fang Jianhui just saw Chu Huan's love for his hometown. The development is very promising, so I have this idea.

  Chu Huan waved his hand and said: "Now is not the time. The policy on movies in my hometown remains unchanged. Even if we go in, it will be useless. Wait a little longer. This matter can be done, but not now!"

  Fang Jianhui could only nod his head and said, "I see."

  Chu Huan continued: "By the way, there is one thing that I think can be done!"

  Fang Jianhui looked at Chu Huan in puzzlement and asked, "What is it?"

  Chu Huan told Fang Jianhui the idea of ​​the Kung Fu movie universe he had thought before. After Fang Jianhui listened, he showed an excited expression and said, "This is a good idea."

Then he explained: "Kung fu movies are different from the Xianxia universe that we are still preparing for. What the Xianxia universe needs is the development of film technology, but the Kung Fu universe does not. Museums are very popular in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, even Europe, and North America, and there is a current era background, we can put it in the period of warlords, and that time is the best time to show these kung fu.”

  Chu Huan also nodded with a smile after listening. Fang Jianhui has already grown into a qualified boss of a film company. Chu Huan is just a simple suggestion, and Fang Jianhui has already thought of many follow-ups.

  So Fang Jianhui continued to preach: "Chairman, if this is the case, I want to restart a project!"

  Chu Huan couldn't think of Fang Jianhui's thoughts at this time, so he asked, "What project?"

   "For the project "Fist of Fury", Brother Long's Chen Zhen has already proved the success of this character. We can completely reopen this movie universe with this classic Xiangjiang film character."

At the end, Fang Jianhui said helplessly: "Unfortunately, in Brother Long's version of "Fist of Fury", the character Chen Zhen has passed away. Otherwise, please return to Xiangjiang to shoot the first episode of Kung Fu Universe The movie will definitely cause a huge response!"

  At the beginning, Li Xiaolong's "Fist of Fury" copyright belonged to Golden Harvest, but after the acquisition of Golden Harvest by Black and White Video, Black and White Video already owned all the copyrights of "Fist of Fury".

  In Chu Huan’s memory, there are only a few classic images of Chen Zhen. The first one is naturally Li Xiaolong’s Chen Zhen, and then Chen Zhen in the ATV version of "Huo Yuanjia", played by Liang Xiaolong.

   Then there is Chen Zhen in Li Lianjie's version of "Jing Wu Heroes", and Zhen Yuyu's TV series version of "Chen Zhen" filmed on ATV.

  Now Li Lianjie and Zhen Yuyu are definitely not suitable, so only Liang Xiaolong is left, but whether Liang Xiaolong will be adopted is Fang Jianhui's business.

   After setting the general direction, Fang Jianhui will deal with the next details. Chu Huan does not intend to get too involved in this matter.

"Li Xiaolong, don't think about it. You can discuss this matter with Yasuo Kamakura, release a manga of the same series, and test the waters to see how the market works. If possible, this project can be launched. !"

  Chu Huan finally preached to Fang Jianhui.

  Fang Jianhui nodded and said, "I know!"

.

   "Aren't you in North America? When did you come back?"

On this day, Mr. Rong and Mo Youheng came to No. 12, Mount Jialie Road. After seeing them, Chu Huan was also a little curious. After the shares were sold, he and his cousin jointly established an electronics factory, and their products were sold directly to their hometown.

   This can be said to be the only one in Xiangjiang at this time, that is, Kyushu does not have this treatment now.

   During this period, Mr. Rong flew to North America many times. It is obvious that he is planning to start his own new company in North America.

  So this time the two of them came here at the same time, Chu Huan was a little curious.

  Master Rong smiled and said, "I came back with an order!"

  Chu Huan sat on the sofa and asked, "Is your order related to me?"

Mr. Rong and Mo Youheng are the two closest to Chu Huan among the young generation in his hometown. Now they came to visit suddenly, and Mr. Rong said that he came back with an order. Chu Huan thought of this matter. Things must be related to myself!

  Master Rong nodded, smiled and said: "It really has something to do with you, Ah Huan!"

  Since he had already guessed it, Chu Huan was naturally not surprised, and asked with a smile, "Tell me, what task?"

Mr. Rong said: "It's like this. My father has already been approached by my hometown. I hope my father can lead the establishment of a trust organization in my hometown. It's called Huaxin. It's easy to set up this institution, but there are some problems with funding. My father called me specially, wanting to beg for alms from you, A Huan, to see if you are interested in getting a share!"

   (The specific company, you should know it in your mind?)

   Huaxin?

   One of the four major enterprises in my hometown, together with the other three, it is called a consortium covering all walks of life in the country!

Chu Huan smiled. In fact, Chu Huan was still thinking that although he had already let Wu Shuhan, Lin Feng, Qin Peng and others invest in his hometown, it was more private capital. It was easy to do it, but he would not do it in the future. It was very difficult for leeks. If he could enter these four consortiums, then for Chu Huan, he would have an extra layer of protection.

   It's just that this kind of thing is not so easy. After all, it belongs to a consortium led by the state, and it is not easy to get into it.

But at that time, Chu Huan also had a goal, which was the soon-to-be-established Huaxin. After all, when Huaxin was established, what it was looking for was the capital of Xiangjiang, and in another time and space, Li Jiacheng became the capital of Huaxin early. director.

  Now Chu Huan's status in Xiangjiang is much higher than that of Li Jiacheng in another time and space, and the relationship with his hometown is also better, so Chu Huan thinks that he will not have any big problems entering Huaxin.

  But he didn't want to think about himself since there was no movement on his side, and his hometown was already thinking about him.

   "It is my duty to support the trust business of my hometown. I don't know how much money your father needs, and how many shares are you going to give us?"

  Chu Huan put away his smile and asked calmly.

Mr. Rong was also very happy to see Chu Huan agreeing so readily, and said with a smile: "The more funds, the better. As for the shares, you know that although my father is in charge of this company, it can be handed over to Mr. How many shares do you have? Actually, what my father said doesn't count, so what my father meant was that I hope that before this company is formally established, you can go back to your hometown and have a detailed discussion with them face to face!"

  Chu Huan asked with a smile: "So, you are a messenger?"

  Master Rong smiled wryly and nodded: "If you say that, I have no objection!"

Chu Huan called Xu Yi, asked about his itinerary during this period, and then said to Mr. Rong: "Well, I will take some time to go back and forth to my hometown in the next few days, and have a good discussion with your father. What do you think of this matter?"

  Master Rong nodded with a smile and said, "Of course it's good. After I go back, I'll call A Huan and tell my father about your decision!"

  Chu Huan said: "Yes!"

After talking about the business, Mr. Rong took out the gift he brought to Chu Shifeng, handed it to Chu Huan, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that I was not in Xiangjiang during the hundred-day feast of Ah Feng. It can be called a global business gathering, A Huan, you have such a great influence in North America, why don't you find a project and let's cooperate?"

  Master Rong still hopes to cooperate with Chu Huan very much, after all, Chu Huan's power is here at this time!

  Chu Huan also had no objection to the cooperation proposed by Mr. Rong, and said with a smile: "Yes, but you have to find the specific project yourself. Our North American Jiaku has its own development plan!"

   Chu Huan has no objection to cooperating with Mr. Rong, and it is always possible to earn some pocket money!

   "No problem!" Young Master Rong laughed.

   Also, correct the typo first and then change it, Huangshan continues to code~~
