Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 199 Jianghuren Films was established

"This film has a plot."

"Professionals are different, Big B, look at what you wrote before, they are all stuff!"

"Hey, do you still have the nerve to talk to me? Do you want to write a single word that you can write?"

In the private room of the restaurant.

Brother Ji and Big B were looking through the script written by Zhang Yang, muttering quietly.

As Jianghuren Pictures' first film, the script chosen by Zhang Yang was a masterpiece that Du Qifeng spent only 19 days on and cost only over 200 million, but the final box office revenue reached over 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

Gunfire.

The reason why I chose this film is that, firstly, the shooting cycle is short and the cost is low. After the film is produced, it can quickly replenish the film sources that Deyang Cinemas is eager for now. Secondly, it also helps Jianghuren Pictures accumulate some reputation. At the same time, let these partners see income and profits as soon as possible.

Having known Chen Huimin for so long, Zhang Yang had a preliminary understanding of the personalities of these clubbers.

He knew very well that as long as they realized that he really had the ability to help them make money, they would definitely regard him as closer than a biological brother and would obey him more.

For the long cooperation cycle in the future, getting a good start and confirming one's right to speak is undoubtedly the most important thing for Zhang Yang in cooperating with them.

Only by getting this off the ground and making these people really willing to believe in themselves, when they make big money, will these people not be blinded by Hong Kong paper and do things that make everyone unhappy.

Seeing that Big B and Ji Ge both praised the script, Chen Shenzhi glanced at the script and did not make any comments. Instead, he raised his head and asked Zhang Yang: "Yang Zai, there is nothing wrong with the script, but you are here What we talked about last time was that we all work together to open a company. You haven’t explained this to us in detail yet, how exactly do we cooperate?”

Hearing that Chen Shenzhi finally asked the question to the crux, Zhang Yang stopped talking in circles, instead smiled and raised his two fingers, and said to several people: "Now I have two plans in hand, one is for the first movie I will fund the filming, provide the shooting script, and contact the corresponding personnel. The subsequent company will be independently operated by the three of you. I only hold [-]% of the equity, but there is something that needs to be explained clearly."

"If it operates according to this plan, the company can only be counted as a third-party film producer in Deyang Cinemas. The final total box office will be given to the theaters 50% of the box office share in accordance with industry regulations. You should have heard that now Deyang Yang Cinema Line is not opened by me alone, but in partnership with others, it is not my company, and I have no reason to ask others to pay less."

The film hasn't even started shooting yet, and the theater chain is asking for 50% of the revenue.

The three people in the world looked at each other. Although they were unwilling to do so, there was nothing they could do.

They also know very well that there are rules in the film and television industry. This is not against them, but no matter which theater chain they go to, the final result will be the same.

What's more, Zhang Yang was willing to provide the script, finance, and liaison for their first film, which was enough to give them a lot of face. Otherwise, with his relationship with Chen Huimin, how could he have made such a film? It's their turn to get a few of them.

Just when Brother Ji and Big B were about to grit their teeth and agree, Chen Shenzhi heard the implication of Zhang Yang's words and did not nod in a hurry, but continued to ask: "What about the second plan? "

"The second option is to count Jianghu Pictures as a branch of Yingyang Entertainment. I will still finance the film, provide the script and contact some personnel, but this time I will hold 50% of the equity. In this way, after the film is released in theaters, since it is my branch, the theaters will only take 20% of the total local box office share."

"As for the management of the company, I will not interfere too much. When filming subsequent films, I will continue to provide funding for the filming. The three of them will only be responsible for daily management, part of the recruitment of actors, and possible parts. Just do the acting job.”

After listening, Chen Shenzhi touched his chin and said nothing.Brother Ji and Big B looked at each other, caught in a dilemma.

If the first plan is implemented, they will be the legitimate bosses of the company. However, the disadvantage is that the theater chain will take a higher share of the share. It seems that it is hard to say whether Zhang Yang will continue to invest in the future.

And if the second plan is implemented, they are not so much the bosses of the new company, but rather just small shareholders who have been allocated some money. Overall, they are still working for Zhang Yang, but there are many benefits in terms of advantages.

And if the theater box office share is calculated, and if it is counted as the Yingyang Entertainment branch, the total amount they receive seems to be a little higher than the first plan.

How to choose?
Brother Ji and Big B were both a little undecided and couldn't help but look up at Chen Shenzhi.

"Just the second option."

Compared with the entangled look of the two people, Chen Shenzhi could see clearly that Zhang Yang gave them options, but in fact they had no choice at all.

After all, if they could really run a film company stably without Zhang Yang's support, they would have done it long ago. Now that they have asked Zhang Yang for help, instead of insisting on retaining the so-called boss status, they might as well put more money in their pockets It's affordable.

Zhang Yang was very pleased with Chen Shenzhi's good intentions, so he took out the contract he had prepared in advance and handed it to the three of them, asking them to add the equity division and sign on the contract.

As the three people finally signed the signatures, Jianghuren Pictures, a subsidiary of Yingyang Entertainment, was officially established. In terms of equity distribution, Zhang Yang directly allocated 50% in the name of Yingyang Entertainment, and the remaining five Chen Shenzhi holds 20% of the shares, and Ji Ge and Big B each hold 15%.

After signing the contract and having dinner in the company of the three of them, Zhang Yang returned to Yingyang Company.

As soon as he entered the company's door, he immediately called Zhou Xingxing.

At this point in time, I couldn't wait to call him. The purpose was naturally to poach people, and there was more than one target to poach this time.

The first person to bear the brunt is naturally Du Qifeng, whether it is "Gunfire", "Underworld" or "Detective".

It can be said that in the entire Hong Kong film industry, when it comes to directors, this one is definitely one of the best.

And not only in the field of Jianghu films, but also in the field of literary films, Du Qifeng can produce blockbuster films of the level of "A Lang's Story". It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a versatile director in the director circle.

In addition to director Du Qifeng, there is another actor from TVB who is also extremely coveted by Zhang Yang.

That is Wu Zhenyu, the "Beautiful Kun" who is widely known for "Young and Dangerous".

It can be said that in Zhang Yang, Wu Zhenyu's importance to Jianghuren Pictures is no less important than Du Qifeng.

In addition to exploring actors at TVB, Zhang Yang also set his sights on modeling agencies again.

If he remembers correctly, there is a big villain in the modeling industry in Hong Kong at this time, waiting for him to dig out with his own hands!
