"Why do you have time to come to me?" After getting up in the morning to exercise, Yang Dongxu was thinking about when he would get news from Ivan, and then Fu De showed up in the courtyard.
In fact, Fu Decai can be considered an acquaintance in the courtyard. After all, during the holidays, whenever it is convenient for the rich brothers, Fu Chaming, the third generation successor, will come here to visit Old Man Xuan.
However, if it is not a festival time, Fu Chaming will come often, and others will rarely show up. Even if there were times when Fu Decai was in Yanjing, he wouldn't visit often. This was not because of his respect for Old Man Xuan, but just to deal with it on the surface. But he is a public figure now, and Yang Dongxu doesn't want to be too high-profile. Frequent running to the courtyard will easily attract Yang Dongxu's attention.
"You made it sound like I wouldn't look for you if nothing happened. Are you missing your share of the gifts every time I visit?" Fu Decai rolled his eyes and sat down at the dinner table without any courtesy and grabbed a bun. .
"Have you washed your hands?"
"I'll eat it myself. You don't care if I wash my hands or not."
Seeing Fu Decai's proud expression, Yang Dongxu didn't bother to pay attention to him.
During this period of time, Fu Decai was indeed living a very nourishing life, not only being a groom every night. Nowadays, producers with high status and background in Hong Kong and Taiwan have to queue up to treat him to dinner, and there are even more celebrities who want to come.
So now Fu Decai only needs to appear on some occasions in the industry, and that is the absolute focus, so during this period of time, his little life is good.
Yang Dongxu had talked about Fu Decai several times before, but now he was too lazy to pay attention to him. After all, he is not a virtuous and talented man, and he may annoy people if he talks too much. And although Fu Decai is a flower, he does things in a measured and elegant manner but not obscenely. In addition, now he is no longer the legal person and general manager of Haina Company, and he only has the title of honorary chairman of Haina Company.
"Is there some trouble over Jet Li's side?" Seeing Yang Dongxu's look of being put off by not talking about something, Fu De took a sip of porridge and said.
"What's wrong?" Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment.
After a few movies last year, Jet Li can be said to have established a firm foothold in Hong Kong. Now he can be said to be a cash cow in the eyes of many producers. He is merciless when accepting movies. So at this time, if he doesn't cause trouble for others, others will be like Amitabha. Who can Looking for trouble with him?
"There was a dispute with Jiahe over the remuneration." Fu Decai's expression stopped being carefree and became serious.
In the record industry, although Haina Records came from behind to take the lead, in the film and television industry, Haina can only be regarded as a powerful player, and there is still some distance to go before it reaches the number one position.
Among the current powerhouses in the film and television industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan, Golden Harvest is the top one by any standard. So having a dispute with Jiahe is obviously not a trivial matter.
"Isn't the remuneration agreed upon and the contract signed? How can there be any disputes?" Yang Dongxu is still somewhat concerned about Jet Li's affairs.
After all, he wanted to recruit Jet Li to his company at the beginning, but because Jet Li and Jiahe signed a two-year contract, the contract only expired this year, and Jet Li didn't want to break the contract in advance, so he didn't sign it forcefully.
"Golden Harvest said that since he has not completed the four films in two years, Golden Harvest will not pay Jet Li the remaining three million in salary, and if he breaks the contract and does not complete the other two films, Golden Harvest will sue him for breach of contract and claim 6 million."
"Isn't this the same as the 3 million remuneration? Didn't the contract signed at that time pay for each film?" Yang Dongxu felt a little strange at this time.
When Jet Li was poached before, Yang Dongxu was clear about his contract with Jiahe. Although it is said that there are four movies in two years, it does not stipulate that four movies must be made in two years. Instead, you will get money for each movie you make. If you don't make it, you will have no money. Therefore, even if the remaining two movies are not made, Jiahe still has to pay the 3 million remuneration for the two movies according to the contract.
"It's not because of you."
"What does it have to do with me?" Yang Dongxu had a question mark on his forehead.
"The contract between Jet Li and Jiahe has expired, but Jet Li doesn't want to renew it." Fudecai explained.
It turns out that although the dispute seems to be over the payment of remuneration, the core is actually the renewal of the contract. Now Jet Li can be said to be a banner of Hong Kong action movies. As long as the script is not ridiculously bad, it can make money after being filmed. Naturally, Golden Harvest does not want to give up this cash cow.
"This doesn't fit in with me, does it?" Yang Dongxu felt like he was lying on his back.
Yes, it is true that he wants to poach Jet Li. But this has nothing to do with whether or not Jet Li renews his contract with Jiahe, because even if he doesn't poach Jet Li, Jet Li would not be able to renew his contract with Jiahe, because the two parties have had conflicts from the beginning, especially in the filming of the second film. It was already intensified during the second movie.
Therefore, even if Jet Li can't find his next partner, it's impossible to renew his contract with Jiahe. So if he forced Jet Li to sign before the contract expired, then this matter was really because of him. If you rob someone else's cash cow, it's strange that others don't take it seriously. But now it's absolutely a dead end.
"Anyway, many people now feel that this matter has something to do with you." Fu Decai shrugged.
Almost everyone in the industry knows about Jet Li and Jiahe's problems, but who knows? It is also true that Yang Dongxu wants to recruit Jet Li to Haina, and the idea that Haina is ready to dominate the film and television industry is obviously more marketable.
So even if it was Jet Li's own choice not to renew his contract with Golden Harvest, now it has become the choice made by Heiner for him. After all, if you want to dominate the film industry, how can you do it without poaching a few pillars?
"I'll go." Yang Dongxu turned over and was completely speechless. He didn't expect that a very simple contract expired, and then he took over the signing of the contract, and now it caused such trouble. Now some people have begun to instigate the Haina threat theory, then Is there another drama about falling in love and killing each other?
Looking at Fu Decai Yang Dongxu said, "What are you going to do?"
"What else can we do? We definitely want to sign a contract with Jet Li. Do you want to let go?"
Yang Dongxu rolled his eyes without saying anything. Not to mention that Jet Li was also from the mainland, and the two of them were naturally very close. Just looking at Jet Li's future achievements, Yang Dongxu will definitely not let this pillar go.
"Are you sure?" Yang Dongxu asked after pondering for a while.
It's not a good choice to go head-to-head with Jiahe now. After all, making a movie is not an album. As long as a good song can be released, that's almost half the battle.
But filming is just the starting point for success. Whether a good movie can make money depends on the attitude of the theater chain. Although Haina Company is not weak now, compared with a strong dragon like Jiahe, and it is on their home court, it is really hard to say whether they can win.
"To say we are absolutely sure is to brag, but if people insist on putting their hatred on us, it's not a bad idea to have a fight. After all, we are not soft persimmons." Fu Decai said.
The main purpose of this visit was actually to come to Yang Dongxu to discuss the war with Jiahe. Without asking him, he knew that Yang Dongxu would not give up signing Jet Li, so this encounter was destined to be inevitable.
"Go to Hong Kong sometime and let's discuss it with Uncle Six." Although Haina is not weak, he is still a half-migrant after all. If he wants to fight for resources, it is obviously impossible for him to be Jiahe's opponent.
But it will be different if Uncle Liu is involved. After all, Uncle Liu is an old man in Hong Kong, and the resources at his disposal are no worse than Jiahe. In addition, he and Uncle Liu had become natural allies when Jiahe was once kicked out of his position as the boss in the movie industry.
"I'm afraid he thinks this opportunity is good." Fu Decai said with a frown.
Yang Dongxu also frowned. As one of the big guys in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, Uncle Liu must be unwilling to be defeated by Jiahe in the film industry. At the same time, the film market is so hot at the moment. Who has a chance? Don’t want to come in and make a fortune?
So although he has become a natural ally with Uncle Six now, if Uncle Six feels that this time is a good opportunity and is ready to sit back and reap the benefits, and see if he can return to the film industry and reach the top, then His cooperation with Uncle Six to deal with Jiahe was undoubtedly seeking the skin of a tiger.
"This is the time to test who has the better mouth." When it comes to disputes involving interests, there are no absolute allies, so Yang Dongxu sees this matter very clearly. Besides, who stipulates that the wedding dress made by Haina must belong to someone else? Can't he put his own wedding dress on himself and take someone else's wedding dress at the same time?
...
...
May Day in 1991 fell on a Wednesday, and the current May Day holiday is not a week, nor is it three days as was later changed, but only one day.
So Wu Xue asked for two days of leave in advance. As for Fatty, forget about asking for leave because of the incident in the game arcade last time. Even if Yang Dongxu went to intercede, it would be useless, so there was one less person in the team.
"Is it true that it won't fall?" Xiao Hutou squirmed in his seat uneasily.
He, who had been clamoring to defeat Yang Dongxu, was like a quail at this moment, especially when the plane took off just now, he was even more frightened and screamed. Now even though the plane is exceptionally smooth, he still worries about gains and losses.
"If you keep nagging, the plane will fall off, I will throw you off." Yang Dongxu gave the little tiger a fierce look.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect or something else. Although he has flown many times and knows that the safety of airplanes is definitely one of the highest among means of transportation, Yang Dongxu still feels uncomfortable every time he takes a plane.
In other words, sitting on the plane, Yang Dongxu did not have the absolute sense of security on the ground, so there was a psychological gap, so he was also uneasy.
If no one mentions this uneasiness, sometimes you may not remember it. But if you are surrounded by a nagging person who keeps talking about this matter, then this uneasy feeling will be infinitely amplified.
"Auntie, is he bullying me?" Looking at Yang Dongxu's eyes, Xiao Hutou knew that if he talked more, he would definitely get beaten. But this uneasy feeling and silence made him even more uncomfortable, so she turned to complain to Hongying.
I don’t know if Xiaohutou was specifically targeting Yang Dongxu. Hongying came to him and directly called her aunt without any ties, but she never included uncle Yang Dongxu.
"Shut up, please be quiet for a while. If you piss me off, don't call me aunt. It's useless even if you call me Yang Guo."
