Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2010 Talk about the price tag

Hearing Cai Yongchang suddenly ask about the hero of "Chinese Heroes", Huang Yulang naturally couldn't think of other places.

Could it be that Golden Harvest is interested in the hero of "Chinese Heroes"?Otherwise, why would Cai Yongchang ask such a question?No matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like a comic book fan.

"Why did Mr. Cai suddenly care about this issue?"

Huang Yulang wanted to know why Cai Yongchang asked him to drink tea today?Simply to chat with yourself?He shouldn't be that busy, right?
"To tell the truth, Boss Huang, Golden Harvest has always been making movies. I believe you should be very clear about this."

Huang Yulang nodded. Golden Harvest has been focusing on movies since its establishment. He is not the only one involved in this matter. I believe everyone in Xiangjiang should be very clear about this matter.

Cai Yongchang continued.

"In the past few years, the world of Xiangjiang movies has indeed been very good, but generally speaking, there are only a few genres that come and go, nothing more than action and comedy films, until the appearance of "Chinese Heroes"."

Judging from what Cai Yongchang said, it seems that Golden Harvest intends to join the ranks of manga. If this is the case, then of course Huang Yulang will benefit the most.

If Golden Harvest intends to cooperate with Yulang Group to adapt their comics, then Huang Yulang is naturally very welcome.

If Golden Harvest wanted to find Huang Yulang to cooperate in the manga before the stock market crash, then he probably didn't think so.

It's just because the Yulang Group is indeed facing a huge difficulty now. If there is no improvement, then the company will really have a big problem.

That's why Huang Yulang eagerly hopes that comic-style movies can become popular in Xiangjiang, so that the Yulang Group can survive from a desperate situation.

"It's just that the cost of manga reform is really too high, and it can be said that the risk is not small, so today I came to Boss Huang on behalf of Golden Harvest Film Company, hoping to cooperate with you."

"Cooperation? What does Mr. Cai mean?"

Cai Yongchang's words made Huang Yulang a little confused. Although the other party saw the potential of manga, he felt that the investment in manga was too high and the risk was too high. So what do they want?
"We want to test the water first, and cooperate with Boss Huang to shoot "Chinese Heroes"."

Although Cai Yongchang is talking about cooperation, in fact, he just wants Jet Li to take the role of Hua Yingxiong.

Of course, if Huang Yulang really needs help, then Golden Harvest will naturally try his best to help him make this movie well.

"Cooperate and shoot together? I don't know how your company plans to cooperate with me?"

"We plan to invest 2000 million yuan and recommend a top martial arts star from Xiangjiang to play the male lead of "Chinese Heroes."

The first half of Huang Yulang's sentence was very comfortable to listen to, but the second half of Cai Yongchang's sentence made him understand immediately.

It is false to cooperate together. The biggest reason why Golden Harvest is willing to spend 2000 million yuan to vote for the drama "Chinese Hero" is to hope that this can be used in exchange for the role of Hua Yingxiong.

If it's just an ordinary movie, the price tag of 2000 million can definitely be said to be very attractive.

But the investment of "Chinese Heroes" is 8000 million, and Golden Harvest only paid a quarter to win the male lead. They are a bit too skilled.

And if "Chinese Hero" becomes a big hit at that time, the actors recommended by Golden Harvest will not only become more famous, but they will also get a good profit from the box office.

Huang Yulang couldn't help laughing, he took the big risk himself, Jiahe only wanted to take advantage of him.

Even if "Chinese Hero" hits the street, Jiahe won't lose too much because of it. It can only be said that these people's ideas are really shrewd enough.

"Your company's ideas are really constructive."

What Huang Yulang said sounds like he agrees with Cai Yongchang's suggestion?I still don't agree, anyway, Cai Yongchang can't see it all at once.

"If Boss Huang has any good ideas, we can discuss them slowly. Golden Harvest still hopes that Xiangjiang can produce more high-quality films, which will be good not only for the film industry but also for the audience."

2000 million investment for a male lead, if Golden Harvest doesn't want to make money, then Huang Yulang can seriously consider it.

But Golden Harvest wanted too much for the 2000 million investment, which made it impossible for Huang Yulang to agree.

"I know Golden Harvest has always focused on the film business, and Golden Harvest has made many good movies over the years. I personally have great respect for Golden Harvest and Mr. Zou..."

"It's just that the investment in this movie is really too big, and the male lead is very important for a movie, and "Chinese Heroes" is even more so, so I'm afraid I have to think about this matter carefully."

Huang Yulang did not directly reject Cai Yongchang, because if Golden Harvest could share half or more of the production costs, it would relieve a lot of pressure on Huang Yulang.

It's just that Huang Yulang can't accept the price of 2000 million, unless the other party doesn't attach any conditions, then there is still room for negotiation.

Cai Yongchang is not a fool either, he knew that the price of 2000 million won't be able to impress him after hearing what Huang Yulang said.

But Cai Yongchang was very happy, because judging from Huang Yulang's reaction, there was still something to talk about. What he was most afraid of was that Huang Yulang refused directly and told him that the actor had already been found.

If that's the case, there's really nothing wrong with Jiahe.

"Boss Huang is right. The production cost of "Chinese Heroes" is definitely considered a blockbuster no matter where it is in Asia, so it is natural to think carefully."

Huang Yulang and Cai Yongchang didn't reach any agreement in this meeting, but they both figured out the other's attitude, so it's not like nothing was gained.

Back at Jiahe, Cai Yongchang told Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang and others about meeting Huang Yulang.

After Zou Wenhuai listened to Cai Yongchang's words, a smile slowly appeared on his face.

"I guess Huang Yulang's price should be that we bear half of the production cost. If that's the case, he should agree to let us decide the male lead of this movie."

If Golden Harvest had to bear half of the production costs, then they would have to get 4000 million.

At this time, if you spend 4000 million to make a movie in Xiangjiang, it will definitely be a well-made blockbuster, and you can even make a special effects movie with a little extra.

Now Golden Harvest has to take out 4000 million and only get half of "Chinese Heroes". The risk is too great, and He Guanchang and others feel that this is very unsafe.

"Do you know why I suddenly asked Huang Yulang to cooperate with "Chinese Heroes"?"

Zou Wenhuai suddenly asked the people around him this question.

Everyone shook their heads one after another. They didn't know how Zou Wenhuai suddenly had the idea of ​​cooperating with Huang Yulang.

"Because I heard that Lin Daoqiu asked Ma Rong from Yulang Group to draw a comic for him, and that comic will be adapted into a movie."

Hearing what Zou Wenhuai said, everyone suddenly realized that it was because of Lin Daoqiu.
