Uncle Liu's words made both Yang Dongxu and Deng Guangrong frown and look solemn. Now they are facing each other and will fight to the death unless one side gives in. However, Hong Kong's local film industry people, Qiang Ma Zhuang, obviously have no intention of giving in, and Yang Dongxu seems to be the master of taking the soft rather than the hard, so the two of them are a little silent when it comes to business.
"Tell me about your conditions?" Deng Guangrong looked at Yang Dongxu and said after a long silence.
He obviously heard Uncle Six's words before and took it to heart. If possible, he didn't want to get into a tense situation with Yang Dongxu. Although the other party certainly cannot fully represent the mainland, it is undeniable that Haina is now the largest entertainment company in the mainland. If he takes the lead in dealing with Hong Kong, it will be really difficult to handle the relationship between the cross-strait entertainment circles in the future.
"Conditions? I have no conditions." Yang Dongxu shook his head: "I'll be satisfied if everyone makes their own movie and doesn't interfere with the river."
"You are satisfied, but many people are not." Deng Guangrong snorted.
"The reason they were dissatisfied was because they wanted to put their hands in my pocket to take money and I gave them a lesson. Do I just let them take money in my pocket just to satisfy them? Actually, there is one thing I can't figure out. , the Hong Kong film industry is so powerful, why are you afraid of me, a mainlander, alone? Why are you so strong and so weak-minded?"
"This has nothing to do with being afraid or not. Talented people may not necessarily succeed. There are not just one or two geniuses in the film industry who have disappeared in recent years." Deng Guangrong took a cigar from the bodyguard behind him and lit it.
This sentence is very direct and cruel. The current Hong Kong film industry is an era where the strong eat meat and the weak eat shit. There are many talented screenwriters and famous stars, but all the money goes to the pockets of those behind the scenes.
And Yang Dongxu got all the money in his pocket as soon as he came up. If he only had a little money, forget it. But it’s possible that the first movie will cost over 10 million, so it’s strange that no one is interested in such a large amount of money. Coupled with his arrogant temperament from the beginning, there must be someone who wants to destroy his prestige.
In fact, in the final analysis, there is no powerful figure standing behind Yang Dongxu. The Hong Kong side did not pay attention to the recording in the past because it was done by people from Taiwan, so there are rich and talented people who can barely control the situation, but in the film industry In an industry where money can be made quickly, the face of rich families is obviously not enough.
"Then what are your conditions?" Yang Dongxu asked with a frown.
"There are many film companies in Hong Kong. Since you are good at screenwriting and directing, then become a screenwriter and director. Don't worry, I will give you a high price, and if the box office is good enough, it is not impossible to get a share." Deng Guangrong pondered and said. said.
"To put it bluntly, I just work for you." Yang Dongxu had a sarcastic smile on his face.
In fact, he knew what these intentions were from the beginning. Not to mention that in Hong Kong, there are still many people in the mainland who are enthusiastic about Heiner Records.
In the past, there were no decent record companies in the Mainland. They were all small businesses without much profit. But since the rise of Haina, I don’t know how many people are jealous of its annual profits of hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions.
That is to say, because the record industry was not paid enough attention to before, Haina made a mistake and rose rapidly. Now look at it. Apart from the Korean stars and Wei Fei who look pretty good behind Feiyang, is there a third major record company in the mainland?
So if Yang Dongxu hadn't put a lot of amulets on Haina in the mainland at the beginning, plus Fu Decai, the name of Hong Kong's "patriotic businessman" is relatively sensitive, and at the same time, Hong Kong is still in the period of return, Those people are somewhat restrained. Otherwise, do you really think that those people wouldn't dare to do anything wrong if Wanjia was there?
This is true even in the Mainland where there are Wanjia as a backer, not to mention that in Hong Kong Yang Dongxu can only rely on the rich family, a second-rate family. So this is the typical reason why a common man is not guilty but harbors a jade.
"Those who eat alone never end well." Deng Guangrong looked at Yang Dongxu's unconvinced look and nodded again.
To be honest, what Deng Guangrong dislikes the most is negotiating with young people, because young people are prone to being impulsive and have no idea what it means to take a step back to gain a brighter future, or the principle of taking a step back and taking risks. Many young people feel that what they own is theirs just because they are talented. , but in fact, your things may not necessarily be yours.
"How about this, how about making a bet?" Yang Dongxu knew that if the other party didn't want him to be involved in the Hong Kong film industry, he would have the ability to ban him, unless he had become a big tree like Wireless The tree doesn't have to look at other people's faces.
"How do you want to bet?"
"Fist of Fury" doesn't count. I'll come up with three more movies and let's compare the box office. Of course, we can't just count Hong Kong's box office but also include overseas ones. The entire Hong Kong film industry will be counted. If there are any three movies If the box office of my three films can exceed those of my three films, I will take out 30% of the shares of Haina Company. It is the shares of the entire Haina Company, not just the film department.
But if any of your three movies don’t have as high a box office as mine, I won’t say anything about the others. From now on, we can just stay on the same page. Don't tell me that there are many geniuses who disappear. They disappear because they don't have the ability to eat so much. I feel that I am capable enough to eat this bowl of rice. "Yang Dongxu's tone was very calm, but the meaning of his words was particularly strong.
The last sentence clearly means that if you can kill other people, that's why they are soft persimmons, and he is obviously not a soft persimmon who can be bullied by others.
"You seem to be very confident in yourself." Deng Guangrong looked a little ugly.
Obviously what Yang Dongxu said was a bit contemptuous. What does the Hong Kong film industry include? Do you really think that if you make a good movie, you will be invincible? Although the Hong Kong film industry is a bit bullying this time, if the people in the Hong Kong film industry did not have this ability, how could the cake be so big now and the film industry be so popular?
"If I didn't have confidence, I wouldn't come to Hong Kong to make a movie." Yang Dongxu shrugged.
"How long is the limit?"
"Before the end of the year."
"Okay, prepare your share authorization letter." Deng Guangrong bit the cigar in his mouth and sneered.
"You don't need to worry about this. Besides, even if I lose and give you 30% of the shares of Haina Company, have you figured out how to divide it?" Yang Dongxu blinked at Deng Guangrong.
As soon as these words came out, Deng Guangrong's heart suddenly jumped. Yes, even if you win, how will you divide the 30% of the shares? You must know that Haina is not an ordinary entertainment company, it is the largest entertainment company in the mainland.
Not to mention the TV drama industry that has begun to rise and the film industry that has just begun to test the water, the record industry alone has an output value of hundreds of millions a year. It is estimated that a dividend of 100 million per year for 30% of the shares is not excessive. With the current momentum of Haina Records, this dividend can only be more, not less.
More than 100 million is enough to drive many people crazy. Even big names in the film industry like Jiahe will not remain calm when faced with this number. How to distribute it if you win is definitely a big problem.
This incident is undoubtedly led by several major film companies, so are they going to take a bigger share? In the same way, several major newspapers have also put in a lot of effort. Without them speaking out, it would be impossible to block Heiner in the media. So do they need to pay more? When he thought of this, Deng Guangrong's original anger at being provoked by Yang Dongxu was instantly doused by a basin of cold water.
"It's better to restrain your personality." After sending Deng Guangrong out, Yang Dongxu obviously still had something to talk about without leaving, so the three of them returned to the study. Looking at Uncle Yang Dongxu, who still had a faint smile on his face, he couldn't help but feel like a hero in his twilight years.
Once upon a time, when he was young, he would rather bend than bend. Even if he lost, he would not make things easier for his opponent. It's a pity that such passionate years are gone forever, and many of his edges and corners have been smoothed away by time.
"Sometimes I can't control my emotions." Yang Dongxu said helplessly.
Uncle Six didn't dwell on this issue anymore: "Okay, let's not talk about this issue anymore. Let's talk about what you want my old man to do if you stay."
"Uncle Six is really awesome. You already know what I'm going to do before I even say anything." Yang Dongxu gave Uncle Six a thumbs up.
"Don't bother me with your high-profile talk. I'll go to the company to see if it's okay."
"Actually, it's not a big deal. It will definitely be easy for Uncle Six. I hope Uncle Six can come forward and help me borrow a few actors. After all, if the other party agrees to the bet, even if they don't make any small moves, those celebrities must have their own feelings in their hearts. Worry, I need Uncle Six to help with this." Yang Dongxu smiled a little embarrassedly.
As I said just now, an artist who is so domineering wants to challenge the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry, but now he is still using stars from other companies to film movies. This is simply a slap in the face.
But if you don't borrow some stars, you won't have to film Yang Dongxu, so in order to win, you can only save face and beg Uncle Six. The worries of those actors need a boss like Uncle Six to come forward to dispel them. After all, Wireless is here, even if They helped Yang Dongxu make a movie for Uncle Six's sake, and no one would give them shoes in the future.
"What good do I have?" Uncle Liu looked at Yang Dongxu funny. The young man in front of him was very similar to himself when he was young. He was talented and smart, but one thing was better than him, that is, his face was younger than his own. It was much thicker.
"If I win, 10% of the total tickets for the three movies will be yours, Uncle Liu. If I lose, 5% of the shares of Haina Company will be yours."
"It's an offer that's hard to refuse." Uncle Six had to sigh that Yang Dongxu was indeed a generous person.
30% of the shares worth hundreds of millions were taken out for gambling, and now that he was asked to help, nearly tens of millions of benefits were taken out.
If Yang Dongxu wins, then two of the three movies will be in the top three at the box office. Even if calculated based on the box office of the Hong Kong film industry last year, the box office of the top three movies even if the second and third place combined were more than 60 million. In other words, he only needs to come forward to invite a few stars that Yang Dongxu wants. No matter what the taxes are after the movie is released, and what the theaters share, I got more than 6 million.
If Yang Dongxu loses, it will be even more cost-effective. 5% of Haina Company shares are more valuable than the more than 6 million in cash.
