At the elevator entrance of the banquet hall, Xiang Sheng and Xiang Tai, dressed in formal attire, led several guests to greet him warmly.

"Xiang Sheng, Xiang Tai, I am Guangzai."

"Welcome, Guangzi, you are really young and promising."

"I dare not take it seriously. Xiangsheng is the spirit of dragon and horse, and Xiangtai is even more beautiful.

"Then I'll lend you some good advice. You're a handsome boy, and you're sure to be very popular with girls."

"..."

Don't think that Xiang Sheng and Xiang Tai suddenly don't pay attention to their cards. There is a reason why they are so polite and virtuous.

Since Zhou Xingchi fell out and left, China Star's stock price has plummeted. Coupled with the financial crisis in 1997, it is even worse. China Star's total market value has plummeted from the highest of more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars to more than 500 million now.

Hong Kong dollar.

However, I never expected that I unintentionally spent more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars to buy out a mainland film, but it had a box office hit. Even the total market value of China Star directly increased by more than 180 million. Compared with this 1.8

100 million, what is a profit of only 120 million? What is Corporal Li Xian?

At this moment, both Xiangsheng and Xiangtai wished they could regard Rongguang as a lucky cat and put the incense on the table as an offering!

However, Xiang Sheng and Xiang Tai's attitude once again shocked the rest of the crew.

This is the top boss in Hong Kong. It is almost impossible to meet each other in normal times, but now he can actually eat at the same table? And he also proactively gave everyone a business card? Do you know the value of this business card in the entertainment industry?

?For a young artist, it can almost break your head!

It is no exaggeration, this is equivalent to giving you an opportunity card!

Everyone knows this behavior very well, and it is also done for Rong Guang's sake. From this, it can be seen that have we... underestimated him?

It's the same as the legend. Xiang Sheng is not very good at words, so Xiang Tai is basically responsible for communication: "Guangzi, what else is missing for your new project? Is it short of funds? Do you need female artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan? We have many pretty girls here.

Yes!"

"Xiang Tai, I won't lie to you. I didn't expect that I would become famous overnight and that the North American box office would be so exaggerated. So my current project is an experimental film to exercise my abilities. The shooting requires more than 5 million, but to purchase stabilizers and other equipment,

There are also experimental short films, etc., which cost more than 4 million. If you bring in investors, you will be cheating your friends. So this time I am a sole proprietor."

"What about distribution? Oh, I almost forgot. I wish your video a big hit and I'll definitely accept the red envelope." Xiang Tai handed over a check for HKD 1 million with a smile.

Rong Guang didn't even look at the number and pushed it back directly: "Xiang Tai, I like the long flowing water and the constant coming and going."

"Guangzai, what you said makes me happy." Xiang Sheng said suddenly, "Honey, give me some face and give Guangzai another 1 million!"

If you can earn 180 million for yourself, you really don’t care about the 12 million.

"Xiang Sheng, Xiang Tai, I really don't need it." Rong Guang continued to refuse with a smile, "Keep this money, and I will wait for Xiang Sheng and Xiang Tai to arrange it when I come to Hong Kong."

Xiang Sheng secretly glanced at Tai. Putting down the check, Xiang Tai seemed to ask casually: "Guangzi, have you ever thought about coming to Hong Kong to develop? Although our temple is small, with an investment of less than 10 million, the theme of the script can be whatever you choose.

, you can bring in the cast and crew as you like. I’ll just sign the check. How about that?"

"Let's watch it later!" Rong Guang declined directly, "Xiang Sheng, Xiang Tai. The distribution of this film in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia is yours. I don't like taking advantage. Let's add two to one and make five?"

"No problem, then add two to one to make five."

"Haha, cheers!"

"cheers!"

…

In fact, what they just said was that the two sides were testing each other's bottom line.

If Rong Guang accepts the 12 million check and even becomes a director at China Star, then things will be different from now on. At least for a period of time, Rong Guang will work for Xiang Sheng and Xiang Tai.

But Rongguang's attitude is very clear - equal exchanges!

You can make friends, and you are welcome to work together to do business, but you will never work part-time!

Xiang Sheng and Xiang Tai belong to that old-school character, and they have a strong sense of the world. Therefore, the contract is important, and the mutual commitment is even more important. As long as they make each other's bottom line clear, they will not push each other too hard.

Therefore, later on, Mrs. Xiang fought against Zhou Xingchi and Zhang Baizhi successively. I will not discuss who is right in this matter. But in the interview, it is easy to see the meaning - you all promised it back then, but later you actually changed it.

Regret...

Anyway, I will introduce it here, and it can be regarded as a gossip. Let me reiterate again - the entertainment industry is a gossip place, and there is no need to discuss who is right and who is wrong!

However, when this scene fell into the eyes of other crew members, they were even more stunned.

You didn’t even want 12 million Hong Kong dollars? You didn’t want to come to Hong Kong to develop? You actually gave me an investment of 10 million, but you still didn’t want it in the end?

Please, God! Stop this monster in front of you!

And the topic continues.

Xiang Tai continued to ask: "Guangzi, your film has been registered for the Golden Horse Awards. Will you attend? How many invitations do you want?"

Rong Guang was happy. It was normal to sign up for the Golden Horse Awards, mainly to stimulate the box office. But to participate by myself...?

So Rong Guang shook his head: "Xiang Sheng, Xiang Tai, can I at least be respected by the Golden Horse Awards for my box office? But you are all old timers. After watching this movie, you understand that this movie is just like that. After all, it only cost 30,000 US dollars.

.What if we just give the award for Best New Director? Then it would be better not to go. It would be embarrassing for both parties."

Xiang Sheng and Xiang Tai immediately understood what Rong Guang meant. Just looking at the box office, it was already exaggerated to the extreme, and such box office could already break some rules.

For example: the last few such movies are Mr. Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon" and "Enter the Dragon". In the history of Chinese entertainment films, what is Mr. Bruce Lee's status?

And the highest-grossing film, "The Way of the Dragon", had a global box office of 130 million US dollars. However, at the same time, the annual box office in mainland China was between 2.5 billion and 3 billion. The exchange rate of soft sister currency to the US dollar is 1:3.5, and the black market price is also

It will not exceed 1:5. It is already equivalent to 670 million U.S. dollars. This 130 million is not a special exaggeration.

And "Add a Long Shot" will now definitely have a box office of over 100 million. The box office in the cross-strait and three places is in a slump. The final box office can even exceed the total box office of all China Entertainment movies in the cross-strait and three places!

Is this the rhythm of one person defeating everyone? It can be said to be a legendary record that has never been done before, and basically is also unprecedented!

It can be said that with this film "Add a Long Shot", Rong Guang is enough to leave a name in the history of Chinese entertainment films.

And for such an achievement, if you go to the Golden Horse Awards, you must win Best Director, Best Film, and at least one of the two. Otherwise, this Golden Horse Award will be a joke!

However, the quality of "A Long Shot" simply did not meet the award-winning standards. It would have been enough to be awarded Best New Director.

So should the Golden Horse Award be given? Or should it not be given?

That's why Rong Guang chose not to go, to save both parties embarrassment.

But Xiang Sheng and Xiang Tai really understood, and they also paid more attention to Rong Guang.

But the rest of the crew, they were going crazy!

Guang Shao, do you want to become an immortal? You don't even care about the Golden Horse Awards anymore, and you just won't go there?

Please, Mr. Guang, just be a human being!
