Reborn Tycoon Rise

32 Temptation

(I don’t know what Qidian is doing, but there is clearly a question)

After hearing this, Chen Long said: "No matter how good you are, you should discuss this matter with Luo Wei. I am in his company now."

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Aaron, I know your situation, but if you make a movie, how much will Luo Wei give you? The contract between you and Luo Wei should be a fixed income for each movie! I invite you to make the movie. I spent almost 20,000 Hong Kong dollars on you in Drunken Master. How much did Luo Wei give you? This movie was made by you with all your hard work. He Luo Wei didn’t do anything and just took so much. You Do you think it’s fair?”

Chen Long was silent for a while. He knew how much Luo Wei had taken, and he also knew how much he had gained. He had never thought about it too much, but when someone mentioned it at this moment, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Seeing some results, Xu Zhi took out a special ticket and handed it to Chen Long and said: "This is just the signing fee for 5 movies. In the future, the salary for each movie will be 150,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the investment in the movie will not be less than 600,000 Hong Kong dollars. And Aaron, you can also get 5% of the Hong Kong box office in return. This is the contract I signed with you. If the filming gets better and better, your income will increase."

Chen Long took the check handed over by Xu Zhi, looked at the numbers on it, and his heart suddenly trembled.

Xu Zhi continued to seduce: "Along, you told me last time that you wanted to buy a house of your own in Xiangjiang. The money in this check is enough for you to buy a thousand-foot mansion in Kowloon. If you choose On Hong Kong Island, the location in Taikoo Shing is good, and you can buy a 700-800-square-foot building, which is a prime location in Xiangjiang!"

Taikoo Shing is the last prime residential area on Hong Kong Island in Hong Kong. It is located in the west of Central. Even if you walk, you can enter the prime commercial area of ​​Central in ten minutes. Moreover, this is the second large-scale housing project in Hong Kong.

In the past, the houses in Xiangjiang were in a mess. In 1970, the first large-scale housing project was launched in Mei Foo New Village. The large-scale community built included shopping malls, small hospitals, kindergartens, supermarkets, and restaurants. Taikoo Shing is based on Mei Foo Sun Village and has added a large number of public facilities.

The most important thing is that its location is next to Victoria Harbor, on Hong Kong Island, and close to Central. Its location is unparalleled in the entire Hong Kong. Even decades later, Taikoo Shing is still the most popular place for senior executives of major companies. like.

Chen Long struggled for a while and said, "Azhi, why don't you use it to buy a house yourself?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "I am a businessman, and what I play is risk. The higher the risk, the higher the reward. If you become popular, the income I will get will be higher. What's more, Drunken Master will be released soon. For me, Buying a house is easy, I’m not in a hurry.”

Chen Long smiled bitterly and said: "Then if I become popular, wouldn't this contract be a loss?"

Xu Zhidao: "That's also an if. If it doesn't become popular, you will make money. If it becomes popular, I will make money. These are risks and benefits. What's more, even if you make fame with one movie, you will be able to make a profit with the next one." How much remuneration will you get? And how much will Luo Wei give you? How long will it take you to buy a house? The house prices in Hong Kong are rising every day."

In 1977, the whole trend of real estate speculation in Xiangjiang was revived. Hundreds of people lined up at the reception desks of major real estate projects every day.

Chen Long thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, I can't betray Uncle Luo."

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "I didn't ask you to betray, but you are an adult and have the right to choose your own life. Now as long as you agree to me, you will get generous rewards immediately. Following Luo Wei, I'm afraid you won't be able to earn this much in a few years." many."

Chen Long didn't say anything anymore. He picked up the contract that Xu Zhi had put on the table and read it. After a while, he frowned and asked, "The price of breach of contract is the highest box office of a movie in the past?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, no matter how much you invested in the movie before, my contract penalty is the previous highest box office. According to the current situation, your highest box office is 470,000 Hong Kong dollars."

The 470,000 Hong Kong dollars came from Chen Long's previous highest box office. In fact, the box office looked good, but he had no choice but to invest too much and the reviews were average. In the end, Luo Wei, who invested in it, still suffered a huge loss.

Chen Long said: "Why not just write down the default amount?"

Xu Zhidao: "That's because if you sign the contract, I will fully invest in your movie. If you are really successful, if you write less now, you may lose money and leave, then I will lose money, and now I write more, I’m afraid you won’t be happy now, so it’s most reasonable to choose the highest box office amount as liquidated damages.”

Chen Long said: "But if I sign, if something happens, I won't be able to afford the liquidated damages?"

Xu Zhidao: "Force majeure does not count. Look at the third page of the contract. I have a time limit for each movie. If I don't make a movie for one year, I will lose the right to invest in a movie. It will take a total of five years. After five years, you will You're free. What's more, if you shoot, not counting the box office share, just the signing fee plus the salary of 150,000 per film, it adds up to one million Hong Kong dollars, and all you need to do is spend one or two months a year filming My movie, you can shoot other movies or do other things at other times, I don’t care, of course, my movie has priority.”

Chen Long said hesitantly: "Azhi, I can promise you to make a few movies for you, but I don't want to sign this contract."

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Do you think it's possible? I will give you hundreds of thousands directly?"

Chen Long said: "Uncle Luo and I have been cooperating for so many years, and there is basically no contract, let alone liquidated damages. But I have always cooperated like this, and I will not breach the contract."

Xu Zhi said in surprise: "You and Luo Wei don't have a contract?"

Chen Long nodded.

Xu Zhi thought for a while, and it seems that Jiahe poached Chen Long in later generations. It seemed that there were twists and turns. First, he gave a check for one million, which was rejected, and then directly increased it to 2.7 million Hong Kong dollars. Chen Long accepted the check, but then struggled with it for a few days, and then It was withdrawn until Jiahe later paid out 4.7 million, and at the same time Shaw Brothers paid out 5 million.

Even so, Chen Long still didn't agree. Speaking of rebellion, Chen Long really valued it.

But it was Luo Wei who really sought death.

After Drunken Master became a hit, Luo Wei began to prepare to make his own movie. Wu Siyuan, who had previously lent Chen Long to make Drunken Master, made a lot of money from this movie, but of course he couldn't borrow it from Luo Wei later.

Therefore, Wu Siyuan found Chen Long and wanted to cooperate with him alone, but Chen Long was loyal and refused to agree. In the end, Wu Siyuan could not succeed, so he handed Chen Long 200,000 Hong Kong dollars in cash.

This money is just to thank Chen Long for his performance in Drunken Master. Wu Siyuan is not a stingy person. Although the salary for the cooperation was given to Luo Wei before the filming of Drunken Master started, he still thinks that Chen Long should get a share, not to mention Compared to his income, 200,000 is just the tip of the iceberg.

However, this 200,000 yuan was the biggest mistake of Luo Wei's life. After Chen Long got 200,000, he gave it to Luo Wei. Luo Wei happily accepted it and gave Chen Long 3,000.

3000 is the agreement between him and Chen Long. A movie costs 3000, no matter what the results are, it will always be 3000.

One side is 3,000, and the other side is the signing bonus of HK$4.7 million, not counting the remuneration and dividends for each subsequent film. No one can accept this kind of gap, not to mention that Chen Long is loyal to Luo Wei, but Luo Wei, in turn, refuses to give him what he deserves.

But after Jiahe poached Chen Long, although many conflicts occurred, they did not seem to go to court. From this point of view, there was no formal contract between Chen Long and Luo Wei!

Xu Zhidao: "You and Luo Wei have known each other for so many years. If you don't have a contract, it's your business. It's not mine. You should think clearly. This contract is not just about how much money you can earn.

I can write Kunlun and make Drunken Master. None of this is luck. If you sign this contract, I have already thought of the outlines of the next few movies. After Drunken Master is removed from the shelves, we can immediately cooperate on the next one. After 5 movies, you should know the profit. "

Chen Long looked at the check in his hand and asked, "Then if I sign this contract, can I get this check?"

Xu Zhi nodded and smiled: "Yes, after Drunken Master is taken off the shelves, if nothing happens, we can shoot a movie soon, and you can still get 150,000 before the shooting starts."

Chen Long asked: "Then what if Drunken Master attacks the street?"

Xu Zhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Then you won't lose. You can get the 250,000 yuan. If you can't shoot within a year, the film contract will be cancelled. What are you afraid of?"

Chen Long picked up the pen, hesitated, and said, "I think I should inform Uncle Luo."

Xu Zhidao: "You can inform him. If he doesn't agree, that's fine. But if he agrees, what will you do? Do you want to give him the money? After all, you are nominally an employee of his company."

Chen Long stopped and said nothing.

Xu Zhi continued: "With 250,000 yuan, a luxury house in Xiangjiang is right in front of you. If you give it to Luo Wei, you may not even be able to buy a toilet."

Chen Long said: "But what if I sign and Uncle Luo doesn't agree?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "He didn't agree to let him come to me. Aaron, you have to live for yourself, and you don't want to struggle all your life without even having a house, right?"

"Okay!" Chen Long shook the pen in his hand, made a determined effort, and finally signed his name.

PS: Many people in the comment area said that the routine is too old. In fact, I knew it when I wrote it like this, but how many of the Urban Rebirth Channel’s first buckets of gold are more reasonable?

Rather than having a poisonous point, it is better to be more cliched. After the plot of the movie is over and the first pot of gold is available, the book will enter the real plot.
