132 【Encounter with Lin Qingxia】
While chatting with Hu Huizhong in Xiatian, Hong Jingbao has already caught up with He Guanchang.?
"Uncle Chang, what's wrong? Didn't you agree to talk to Ah Tian about joining us tonight? Why didn't you mention this?" he asked in confusion.
"What else are you talking about? Didn't you hear that 45% to 55% didn't touch other people's hearts. What else can I talk about?" He Guanchang shook his head and asked Hong Jingbao back.
Hong Jingbao was stunned and then understood a little. He knew that in order to win Xia Tian to join Jiahe, the condition offered by He Guanchang should be to invest capital to start a company for him, but the company's equity ratio should be 45% to 55%, and Jiahe's shares account for the majority.
But before the talk, he used the movie box office share as an introduction. If Xia Tian is not ambitious and agrees to share the box office share of 45% to 55%, then he will take the opportunity to pull him into Jiahe.
But now it seems that Xia Tian’s ambition is a little bigger than they had expected before, so He Guanchang didn’t talk about this topic anymore, so as not to speak out without speculation and affect his feelings.
"What should I do now? Did you give up like that?" Hong Jingbao said reluctantly when he heard this.
He knew Xia Tian’s ability. If you miss it, it would be a huge loss.
"Of course not." He Guanchang shook his head and smiled slightly, "Since he has ambitions and wants to get more, he has to show more strength. Isn't he going to be released soon? Let's wait and see if he can create another box office miracle."
Hong Jingbao nodded and understood what He Guanchang meant.
...
At nine o'clock in the evening, the celebration banquet was officially held.
On behalf of Jiahe Company, He Guanchang first welcomed all the guests, and then invited the main creative staff of "The Great Stars" to the stage together.
Cheng Long, Yuan Biao, Wufuxing, Hu Huizhong, Xia Tian, everyone stood on the rostrum together. There was a long platform covered with red cloth in front of him.
When we uncovered the red cloth together, we saw that it was a line of numbers sculptured with ice. Counting them was the box office result achieved when "The Stars of Good Luck" was painted - 3,0748,643 yuan.
Then Xia Tian and others beat the ice sculptures together and smashed them into pieces. The guests from the audience applauded and cheered. The reporters also pressed the shutter frequently to capture the most exciting shots.
After the ice smashing ceremony, it is the most popular time to reward merits and practices.
Last time, Xiang Brothers Company spread silver paper at the celebration banquet of "The Ghost Horse and Flying Man" to comfort many heroes. After causing a sensation in the Hong Kong film industry, it has become a trend to spread money at the celebration banquet.
Because the film market is good now and film companies make a lot of money, they are naturally willing to reward their heroes. And celebrities are becoming more and more important now. The box office appeal is getting stronger and stronger, and they are naturally eager to get more benefits. Therefore, sharing a little box office bonus will make celebrities taste a little sweetness and make them more attentive to make money for the company.
Soon, several big men pushed up piles of banknotes. After a quick glance, I was afraid that there would be as many as two or three million, and it would be like a hill.
Although there were many rich people present, and countless wealthy people were worth more than one million, when they saw so much money piled up, their eyes still lit up.
Then Ho Guanchang announced the bonus one by one. Hong Jingbao, as the director, starring and producer, got the most, and received a total of one million Hong Kong dollars in bonuses. The other four lucky stars, Cheng Long and Yuanbiao each received 300,000 Hong Kong dollars. The overlord Hu Huizhong received 250,000 Hong Kong dollars, while Xia Tian, as the screenwriter, received 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.
More than three million flowers were shared in one breath, and Jiahe's heroic spirit made all the guests present dumbfounded and surprised.
But Xia Tian felt a little dissatisfied. He was not angry because he had enough, but Jiahe's attitude of valuing stars but despising the screenwriter made him feel a little uncomfortable.
The script is the foundation of a play. Whether a movie is good or not depends on the script. If the script is not good, it is equivalent to the unstable foundation. Even if the director or actor works hard, he is destined to be unable to make a good movie.
But now major companies in Hong Kong pay more attention to celebrities than screenwriters. A celebrity pays hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, accounting for more than a quarter of the entire movie investment. A screenwriter only sells tens of thousands of yuan for a script. He often cannot even receive the final payment, and even life becomes a problem.
If this continues, who else in Hong Kong is willing to be a screenwriter in the future? And if there is no screenwriter, how can Hong Kong movies be performed?!
Xia Tian originally thought that Jiahe was one of the three major film companies and actively expanded its territory overseas, which was ambitious. He was far-sighted and should be able to pay attention to this problem.
But unexpectedly, their eyes were so short-sighted, no different from other small film companies in Hong Kong, which really disappointed Xia Tian.
Moreover, Jiahe made a bad example this time, with the upward and downward results. Other small film companies will definitely follow suit. The status of screenwriters may decline at that time. It can be said that Jiahe’s celebration banquet has been a very bad atmosphere.
...
After the "spoil-sharing ceremony", Jiahe also invited singers to entertain themselves, and they are all the most popular singers in the music industry, such as Mei Yanfang, Tan Fenglin, Xu Xiaofeng, etc.
Xia Tian felt uncomfortable and did not go to the show, but hid aside, turned his grief and anger into appetite, took three lobsters carefully prepared by Jiahe for the guests, and then ate them happily.
"Why are you hiding here?" Could it be that he had a little understanding of his heart and let Xia Tian hide in the corner, but he was still found by Hu Huizhong.
Seeing that he had taken three lobsters alone and was eating them all over, she couldn't help laughing, "Look at your greedy look, how could you look like a talented person?" As she said that, she took a tissue and gently wiped away the oil from Xia Tian's mouth.
Xia Tian smiled and said disapprovingly, "The talented man should be unruly and unrestrained. You are a top student in the history department, and you should have read "New Words on the World". Those literati are not much sloppy than me."
"Yes, maybe some rich man is optimistic about your appearance and accepting you as your co-slave son-in-law." Hu Huizhong also joked with a smile.
Xia Tian smiled, "It's enough to have you as my wife, I really don't care about other women."
"Really?! Then why did you bring her today?" Hu Huizhong looked at a corner of the hall and said. Xia Wenxi was chatting and laughing with several bosses over there, smiling happily.
"I have come to so many journalists today, which is a very good publicity opportunity, and it doesn't take care of it. And I also want you to see clearly by yourself. I really have no other relationship with her, and it will save you from having to think randomly in the future." Xia Tian explained with a smile.
Hu Huizhong was stunned and looked at Xia Tian happily, moved by his considerateness.
...
Xia Wenxi was very sensitive to other people's gazes. She noticed that someone seemed to look at her again. She looked back without saying a word. Seeing Xia Tian and Hu Huizhong sitting together, she seemed very intimate, she couldn't help but be stunned.
She had thought that the two seemed to be having something wrong with each other, but now she looked at it and seemed to be more serious about her speculation. "When did they get together? Ah, no wonder after Wang Xiaoxian left, he was still not moved by me. It turned out that there was a reserve."
She was surprised by her appearance, and immediately started to think, hoping to unearth the greatest value of this secret.
...
I didn’t hide for long in summer, and I was quickly pulled out by everyone again.
He is now a famous genius screenwriter, and the box office of two dramas exceeded 20 million. Therefore, everyone praised his creative talent. Many film and television company owners want to ask Xia Tian for a script, which is easy to say.
"Mr. Xia, we don't have high requirements. Just write one for me. I will never bargain if you want it." The boss of Jinye Film Company asked.
"Mr. Xia, brother Xia, don't make money without making money. Work with me. I'm responsible for investment, you are responsible for production, with a salary of one million, plus 10% of the box office, how about it?" The boss of Longtao Film Company also invited.
Although these bosses have a kind attitude and sincere manner, and the conditions offered are higher than the other, Xia Tian has no interest in them at all.
Because most of their companies are bag companies, the company may not even have a serious office location. The source of funds is also very complicated, either bank loans or film merchants investing, or even black X can launder money.
When filming movies for people like them, I don’t know when it will cause a lot of trouble, so Xia Tian didn’t go to that muddy water. Besides, even the Xiang brothers were unwilling to serve them, so how could he be willing to serve these little bosses?
Therefore, when faced with their request, Xia Tian would respond and consider it, and then escape and not give them the opportunity to talk extra nonsense.
"Huh, I finally escaped the disaster." Xia Tian hid in the corner and breathed a sigh of relief, regretting that he came to this celebration banquet today.
Because he originally wanted to hear the conditions offered by Jiahe to see how much they valued him. However, He Guanchang only tried it for a moment and withdrew, without talking about serious things, which made him wasted all night.
"It seems that Jiahe should be trying to invest in establishing a company for me and also have to hold a large part of the shares. Humph, I think so beautifully!" Xia Tian curled his lips, so he would not miscalculate like this.
If he wants to set up a company, he has to decide what he says, otherwise he might as well work alone, at least he is more free.
Just as he was thinking, he was suddenly hit by someone and then stepped on his feet, which made him feel so painful that his face was thrusting.
"Ah, I'm sorry." Just as I was about to see who the rash ghost was, I heard the man apologize.
Xia Tian was stunned, "Hey, Miss Lin, it's you." He said in surprise, and saw that the person who stepped on his feet was the great beauty Lin Qingxia.
"You are..." Lin Qingxia glanced at Xia Tian, feeling familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was. (To be continued.)
