Reborn Tycoon Rise

"Mr. Zou is too polite, but I still want to give it a try myself." Xu Zhi shook his head and replied. The conditions proposed by Zou Wenhuai looked very good, but even if they were put in the contract, there were no executable operations. Everything was empty. If it really agrees to the promise, Jiahe may not invest any resources. If it is done well, Jiahe will make money even if it is divided into shares. If it is not done well, Jiahe will not lose anything.

Zou Wenhuai saw that Xu Zhi refused very directly without any consideration, so he smiled and said: "It seems that I still underestimate Xu Sheng. Xu Sheng is very determined about his goals, but I was abrupt!"

Xu Zhidao: "It's not a firm goal, I just have confidence in the story I wrote!"

Regardless of whether he agrees or not, Xu Zhi actually only has one chance. If he fails, he will not have any chance for at least a few years.

Even if Jiahe really agrees to invest in himself, he must read the script. It is not said whether Jiahe will take the script and burn bridges. Even if it is a normal investment, Xu Zhi will not have a say in how to film, who will direct, or even who will act. , in this role he is just a screenwriter and has no right to speak.

If the movie is a hit, how much commission will he get?

The only advantage of agreeing to Jiahe's investment is to avoid risks. But in history, Drunken Master was released in 1978, and now in 1977, there is a difference of one year. There is no reason for it to fail. Even if he does not get the results of later generations, it should not be much different, and there is a high probability that he will not lose money. In this case, Xu Zhi does not dare to cooperate too deeply with Jiahe, otherwise the benefits will be too great. Zou Wenhuai is saying it nicely now, and when the time comes Things are different.

There are two most stupid people in the world: those who believe in the words of their leaders and those who believe in the words of their partners. It’s not that you can’t believe it, at least you should never bet your wealth in the hands of others before you get familiar with it.

Seeing that Xu Zhi refused to agree, Zou Wenhuai thought for a while and asked: "I heard from Luo Wei that the condition of your cooperation with him is to give him the copyright of Jagged Talent. So you want to borrow Chen Long to make other movies?"

Xu Zhidao: "Yes, the other one was originally intended to be a novel, but the plot was too small and not suitable, so I was wondering if it could be turned into a movie."

Zou Wenhuai nodded and asked: "Making a movie requires a lot of money. I have sent people to investigate your situation. Even if your house is sold, it will not be enough. Where will you get the money to invest?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "I don't have it, but Mr. Zou does!"

Zou Wenhuai laughed and said: "Xu Sheng, you are not going to ask me to borrow money! Although I am very optimistic about you, I will not be stupid enough to lend a large sum of money to a stranger."

Xu Zhixiao asked: "Is Zou Sheng worried that I can't afford the repayment?"

Zou Wenhuai smiled and said: "No, if you can keep writing a few good quality novels, I will lend you hundreds of thousands, and you should be able to pay it back even if you lose money. In fact, I am not afraid if you lose money, I am If you are really successful, why should I borrow money to cultivate a competitor? Unless you are willing to join Jiahe, I will consider it!"

Xu Zhidao: "Jiahe's position in Xiangjiang is now unrivaled. Are you afraid of having another opponent?"

Zou Wenhuai shook his head and said: "No one will think it's too much money. If you find a way to invest in movies by yourself, we will follow the industry rules. But if you don't want to join Jiahe, I can't spend money to train my own competitors. It's not much money." question.

In fact, Xu Sheng can go back and think about it slowly and join our Jiahe. If we use Jiahe's funds, we will review the script. If it passes, you won't have any risk. Although the final share will be less, the advantage is stability. If you insist on investing in the movie yourself, that’s no problem for us. We at Golden Harvest have huge distribution capabilities and can sell the movie to RB and Nanya. In the end, everyone will share the money together, which will not be less than what you make by yourself! "

Xu Zhi thought for a while and said: "I can consider handing over the overseas distribution of the film to Golden Harvest, but for now it is limited to this film. We can sign a film contract. As for the future, I will not decide now!"

Zou Wenhuai looked at Xu Zhi and said: "It's okay, but you insist on investing by yourself. If we only sign a distribution agreement, I won't give you a penny, and it depends on whether it can be sold overseas. score!"

Xu Zhi nodded and smiled: "I understand. In fact, the main purpose of my visit today is not for the movie, but because I have a business I want to do with Mr. Zou."

Zou Wenhuai was stunned and asked curiously: "What business?"

Xu Zhi did not answer, but asked: "Mr. Zou's biggest competitor should be Sir Shao, right!?"

Zou Wenhuai frowned, but still said: "Yes."

Xu Zhidao: "Although Sir Shao is not as good as Zou Sheng in the film industry now, he is also the general manager of TVB, the largest TV station in Hong Kong. Although the Li family still controls the board of directors, Li Xiaohe's health has not been very good. If there is really If he dies one day, I am afraid TVB will inevitably fall into the hands of Sir Shao, and by then his influence will be even stronger."

Zou Wenhuai smiled and said, "That's true, but can you still give me a TV station?"

In fact, Zou Wenhuai had already considered everything Xu Zhi said, although in the early 1970s, Shaw Brothers decided to slowly abandon the film industry, which led to his own departure to start a business. But Xiao He can succeed or fail, and Shao Yifu's own achievements in film in recent years are also exciting.

Although he is worth hundreds of millions, he is an upstart in Hong Kong's rich circle. But it is still far behind Shaw Brothers, which has been in business for decades. Now Shaw Brothers is focusing mainly on the competition for TV stations. After all, TVB and Shaw Brothers are not the same company yet, and there is a board of directors above TVB Shaw Brothers. . Many cooperations cannot be too in-depth, but if Run Run Shaw really succeeds in taking over one day, TVB's resources will definitely help Shaw Brothers go further, and Run Run Shaw can also easily mobilize funds to enter the film industry.

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Of course I can't give Zou Sheng a TV station, but I can give him another industry that increases his influence."

"An industry that increases influence?" Zou Wenhuai pondered for a few words and said, "You mean newspapers?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "That's right! The media is currently controlled by three major industries: film, television and newspapers. The profits in this area are divided. They all make money based on their own abilities. Films may have relatively higher profits, but in terms of influence, I'm afraid. Far inferior to TV and print media. Shaw has a TV station, and if Zou Sheng has a big newspaper, one can diversify and not put all the eggs in one basket, and the other two can also increase their influence, especially It’s for the political world, and also, if a movie is going to be released, you can also save some advertising fees, killing multiple birds with one stone, I wonder what Zou Sheng thinks?”

Zou Wenhuai looked at Xu Zhi, pondered for a while and said: "Xu Sheng wants me to invest in a newspaper, and then your novels will be serialized in it?"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said, "I want shares!"

Zou Wenhuai smiled and said: "Xu Sheng is really ambitious. I wonder how many shares he wants?"

Xu Zhi replied: "I bought shares based on the content of the novel and asked for 10% of the shares. Mr. Zou invested HK$3 million, accounting for 90% of the shares."
