1297 [People make an appointment outside the back door]
After hearing Xia Tian’s words, Hong Jingbao also realized his current predicament.
Originally, he was lucky, thinking that there would be a way to solve the problem with the best of both worlds. But now, seeing Xia Tian shook his head so affirmatively, his last trace of luck was shattered, which made him feel very disappointed and stood there for a long time without saying anything.
Xia Tian felt very sympathetic when he saw him like this, but he knew that he could not help him.
The Yangtze River is pushing the old wave, and the tide always rises. Competition in the entertainment industry has always been fierce, with newcomers emerging, such as Zhou Runfa, Liang Jiahui, and Liu Dehua, who have become popular in recent years.
If newcomers come to power, if the previous elderly people cannot make any progress, they will be eliminated. This is the law of development, no one can change it, and even summer cannot.
"Brother Hong, please think slowly. I'll go back upstairs first." Xia Tian then told Hong Jingbao.
"A Tian, if I insist on choosing, then I will choose to retreat to the second line and try my best to promote newcomers to the top in the future." Hong Jingbao sighed.
So many brothers followed him to eat, but he could not do it like Cheng Long, who only filmed two movies a year. In that case, his brothers would starve to death. Of course, he could not only think about himself, but also consider the livelihood of his brothers. Since he could not take the route of simplifying military affairs and simplifying government, he would rather have nothing than be too bad, so he could only retreat to the second line and try to promote new people to the top.
"Well, then you can find the right newcomer first. After finding it, I promise to help you tailor a script for him." Xia Tian nodded.
"Thank you, Ah Tian!" Hong Jingbao said gratefully when he heard Xia Tian say this.
"Don't be polite to me. I'll be together, brothers, without your care, I wouldn't have achieved what I am now." Xia Tian smiled.
The reason why he was able to gain a foothold in the film industry was because he helped Hong Jingbao write two scripts and won the support of this film industry elder brother. He should not forget his roots in life, and Xia Tian still clearly remembers this kind of kindness.
After hearing what he said, Hong Jingbao became more and more moved. If he hadn't signed a long-term contract with Jiahe, he would have wanted to change jobs and join Tianxia Film now.
...
"Mr. Xia" At this moment, Wu Siyuan took Deng Guangrong out again, "Do you have time? Brother Rong has something to discuss with you."
"Okay, just say anything." Xia Tian nodded and knew that Deng Guangrong was coming unexpectedly today, so he should ask for help from him if he had something to do.
Deng Guangrong glanced at Hong Jingbao sitting next to him, opened his mouth, and then kept silent.
"Ah, you guys talk, I'll go up and drink." Seeing this, Hong Jingbao immediately smiled and then got up and went back.
"That's right, Mr. Xia, I'm here to find you today. I hope that our Shadow Master can cooperate with your Tianxia Pictures." Deng Guangrong said immediately.
"Cooperation?! How to cooperate?" Xia Tian asked with a smile when he heard this.
"Mr. Xia, you have many celebrity directors and there are such a good theater chain in the world. We Yingzhijie want to invite your people to film, and then release them in your theater chain after the filming. The box office will be divided into 55 points. How about it?" Deng Guangrong suggested with a smile.
When Xia Tian heard this, he smiled slightly and waved his hand, "Not very good."
Deng Guangrong wanted to use his people and his theaters, but the box office was only 50% or 50% in the end, so there was no such cheap thing. To be honest, even if the box office was 30% or 7% or 20% or 8% of the box office, he would not agree.
Because Deng Guangrong used Taiwanese funds to film, which was the one that Xia hated the most. It was too late to get rid of it, so how could he support his development?
"Mr. Xia, what do you mean..." Deng Guangrong saw Xia Tian's rejection so simply, his face turned red and he felt very embarrassed.
"If Mr. Deng wants to cooperate with me, I suggest you follow Mr. Wu's method and I will invest in Ying Zhijie. As long as you become a family, it is easy to discuss cooperation." Xia Tian smiled slightly.
Ying Zhijie is a member of the alliance and uses the funds of Taiwanese filmmakers to film. The boss Deng Guangrong is an actor and was known as a "student prince" back then. He once went to Taiwan to develop and created a considerable reputation, so he has close contact with him.
In the late 1970s, with the support of Taiwanese filmmakers, he founded Darong Film Company and filmed a series of low-cost violent films, such as "The Two Heroes of Fans", "The Poor and Evil", "Bloody Chinatown", "Family Law", etc., making some money.
Last year, Darong Film Company changed its name to the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the Legend of the
In other words, Ying Zhijie is now a potential production company. Deng Guangrong is also a filmmaker with vision. He made Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei famous in his previous life.
So it is worth acquiring it. It not only adds talents to yourself, but also reduces the strength of the alliance, killing two birds with one stone.
"You want to invest in my Shadow Jie?" Deng Guangrong was stunned and blinked.
"Not bad. If you want to cooperate with me, that's the condition. Otherwise, the interview will be held." Xia Tian nodded.
Deng Guangrong hesitated for a moment, "Mr. Xia, to be honest, I am not the only boss of Ying Zhijie. I opened it together with Mr. Cai Songlin from Taiwan. If you want to invest, I have to discuss it with him first."
"What else can I discuss? Just dump him and me." Xia Tian sneered, "What important assets do your Shadow Master have? It's just a false reputation. Since that's the case, why bother to stick there? Come to my World Pictures and Pictures will not develop the same way."
Although Shadow Jie is a well-known production company, to be honest, it is just a bag company. Apart from the dozen movies in the film Curry, there are almost no decent assets.
Unlike Tianxia Pictures, it has its own theater chain, its own signed stars, directors, its own filming team, and its own set...
"Wouldn't that make me sorry for my friend?" Deng Guangrong hesitated when he heard this.
He has worked with Taiwanese film companies for more than ten years and has a deep friendship with each other, otherwise he would not have been able to do business together. In fact, if it weren't for the recent huge changes in the Hong Kong film industry, Jiahe and Xinyi City jointly engaged in monopoly, which compressed the living space of production companies, he would not have asked for help like summer.
"Then you think about it yourself." Xia Tian smiled, then ignored him and went back upstairs.
...
"Brother Wu, this..." Deng Guangrong said depressedly as soon as he saw it.
"Oh, Brother Rong, Mr. Xia is so domineering in business. Even his own Siyuan Film Industry has been invested in." Wu Siyuan smiled bitterly and said, "There is no way. You are under the short eaves, so how can you not bow your head? Or if you don't cooperate with him, if you want to cooperate with him, you have to accept his conditions."
"Oh!" Deng Guangrong sighed, "It's all because of Jiahe, Xinyi City, what kind of monopoly is it."
"You are wrong. Jiahe, how much money is in Xinyi City? Even if they want to monopolize, they don't have that much strength." Wu Siyuan waved his hand and said, "There is someone else who really wants to monopolize it."
"You mean...Mr. Xia?" Deng Guangrong glared at his eyes and said in surprise.
"I didn't say this." Wu Siyuan waved his hand. He is now a member of Tianxia Pictures. He has signed a three-year contract with Tianxia Pictures, so he dare not gossip.
"Well, it makes sense." Deng Guangrong nodded and suddenly realized, "Jiahe, Xinyi City is a signing artist and buying a theater. It costs 500 million to 600 million Hong Kong dollars. If it weren't for Xia Tian's support, where would they get the funds?
No wonder the three of them even formed a fund company and raised 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in a row, and they didn’t have to spend their own money on filming. It turned out that they had been united long ago."
"Okay, just understand this matter in your heart, don't say it out." Wu Siyuan waved his hand and said, "Think about it, since he wants to monopolize, how could he help you? So you either promise to be invested by him or try to stay away from him."
"Oh, I only understand now." Deng Guangrong nodded, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have spoken this day."
"Don't say that. Isn't he going to speak out this time? To put it bluntly, if you can't make it in the future, it's still a destination?" Wu Siyuan advised.
Deng Guangrong was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
...
After Xia Tian returned to the restaurant, he did not go upstairs, but called the front desk of the restaurant with his elder brother, "Hey, please help me call Miss Zhang Min to listen to the phone."
The guy then went upstairs and called Zhang Min down, "Miss Zhang, someone calls you downstairs."
Zhang Min got up in confusion and went downstairs. He didn't know who would call the restaurant to find him.
She answered the phone, "Hey?!"
"Amin, it's me, don't say anything," Xia Tian said with a smile.
"Yeah..." Zhang Min was stunned when he heard it was Xia Tian's voice, and then he was a little confused. He didn't understand why he didn't say anything to him directly, and even called him, making it mysterious.
"I don't want to go up and drink anymore, I'm going to leave first." Xia Tian explained, "I'll wait for you at the back door, let's go together."
"..." Hearing him say this, Zhang Min's little heart suddenly jumped violently, and the feeling seemed to be about to elope with Xia Tian, which made her so excited that she couldn't speak for a while.
"Why, don't you want to?" Xia Tian asked in confusion when she saw that she did not respond.
"No, no, okay, I'll come to find you right away." Zhang Min waved her hands repeatedly when she heard this. How could she not want to?
Since the filming of "Hardcover Girls 2", she hasn't seen Xia Tian for almost half a month, and she has long been thinking about it.
"Well, then be careful and pretend to be nothing, and don't let the reporters find out." Xia Tian reminded her, "I'll wait for you in the back door car."
