Chapter 708 Old and treacherous, ruined my innocence (for subscription)
"I can't understand the current movies more and more. In the past two years, none of the movies we have produced by Shaw Brothers has been a hit." Shao Daheng said to Zhao Hong with a sigh.
How could this bad old man not come out to share a piece of the action when the movie was so popular?
But I don’t know why, the box office of several films in a row is not very good, not to say that they don’t make money, how can they not make money when many stars have reduced their salaries to participate in the performance.
It's the kind of explosion that can't be popular all over the world at once, just like Zhao Hong's "Dragon Inn".
"Uncle Six, the movies produced by your company are very good! Last year, the movie you invested in was ranked tenth in the box office list of the year!" Zhao Hong said very puzzled.
"Hehe, you also said it was the tenth place!" Shao Daheng said depressingly.
His own rival Zou Wenhuai's company's films rank in the top ten of Xiangjiang's annual box office every year, which makes him feel a little embarrassed.
"You, just be satisfied! You are already busy with TV stations, why are you getting involved in the murky waters of movies?" Qiu Daheng said with a sigh.
His old friend is good at everything, but he is too strong.
He was very clear about the matter between Zou and Shao, and he really wanted to say that the two of them were not good birds, and they were not suitable for staying together with their personalities.
"What is contentment? This Shaw Brothers Film Company was run by me and my brothers, and it is half dead now. How can I explain to them after I go down?" Shao Daheng glared at himself, a little fellow, and said a little indignantly.
Zhao Hong was very speechless when she saw that they were still hyped up for this matter, so she quickly said, "Uncle Six, don't worry if you don't have a good movie, as long as you come up with a good script, it's not easy to get a good movie."
"How can there be so many good scripts, but the good scripts are all in your company. You should know that Xiangjiang's good screenwriters are basically in DreamWorks." Shao Daheng said a little angrily after hearing Zhao Hong's words.
This is also what makes him depressed. In the past, what is required to carefully polish the script when shooting a movie, everyone has an inspiration, invite a few people to brainstorm, add some bullshit to the idea, and then when shooting Add some inspiration on the spot, and this movie will be fine.
But now this kind of thinking is gone. Many audiences are attracted by good stories, and movies that don't make sense are not popular now. This made his old man almost suffer a big loss from the beginning.
"Then how about I write one for you?" Zhao Hong couldn't bear to see him in a bad mood. The old man treated him well, and the cooperation between the two parties has been very pleasant these years.
In terms of TV stations, it was Zhao Hong who took advantage of others. The three TV stations developed unscrupulously in Southeast Asia. Without his old man, there would be little trouble among them.
This old man, who is almost 90 years old, has a wide range of connections in Southeast Asia. Many wealthy businessmen in Southeast Asia are his sons and nephews, so they all want to give him some face.
Of course, the family itself is also quite powerful.
"That's what you said! Degen, you heard it!" Shao Daheng suddenly said with a smile, as if a weasel had stolen a chicken.
"Well, Hong Zai will definitely do what he said. There is no need for him to trick you, a bad old man." Qiu Daheng also said with a smile, looking at Zhao Hong with affirmation.
Zhao Hong's heart skipped a beat when he saw their expressions. He was tricked by these two bad old men. Why did he arrive half an hour early today, but these two bad old men still arrived before him? This made him There is also a bit of love for Tao Tao, and it feels like the older generation is still real. It turns out that they are both foxes for thousands of years, and the two of them are acting in a play in front of him!
"Sixth Uncle, what are you up to? As long as you keep saying it, let alone one script, I will write you even ten scripts." Zhao Hong said coquettishly, pretending to be cowhide.
"Really," Shao Daheng said with eyes shining.
"Is there still a fake?" Zhao Hong was beating drums when she saw him like this. It's just that you lose but you don't lose. You don't have to spend time with women, but you can't lose face.
It was funny for Shao Daheng to see Zhao Hong pretending to be calm. In fact, after hearing Zhao Hong's words, he had the impulse to let this kid force him to eat this, ten scripts!It's still a script written by his kid, it must be the best of the best, but is he the kind of person who wants to take advantage of the younger generation?
Do you still look like an elder in doing so?
"Hehe, Hongzi, you are more arrogant. It seems that us elders are a bit petty. As for writing scripts, don't mention it again. I am already a half-grown person, so there is no need to be competitive. ", Shao Daheng suddenly made a big turn, which made Qiu Daheng a little confused, what kind of trouble is this going to do?
"Hehe, what did the sixth uncle say? He said that he promised you to write a script and write a script." Zhao Hong was relieved after hearing Shao Daheng's words, and at the same time felt that the old man was not so bad.
"Hey, no, no, your time is precious..."
"It's okay, it's just a matter of two or three days, more..."
……
Qiu Daheng was really confused when he saw this situation. They had already discussed it before Zhao Hong came. Shao Daheng asked him to help blackmail the script, but what is the situation now?
The two actually backed down, one wanted to write a refusal, but seeing his little friend reluctantly accepting Hongzi's script, he knew that this was a routine, seeing his old brother's appearance, he just adored him a little, This trick is really high!
Zhao Hong also heaved a sigh of relief after finishing this matter. You said that this matter was settled, but I feel that this matter is always a bit awkward. Tell me what you want to say today.
Neither of them had any objections, as long as the matter remained the same as before, they were only responsible for paying the money, and handed over the communication with the mainland to DreamWorks.
After the matter was settled, they chatted for a while and then left.
Zhao Hong drove the car towards the company, still thinking about the previous events in his mind, when suddenly he patted his thigh, and said a little depressingly: "This old man's routine is very deep!"
Feeling a little ashamed in my heart, I fell into his way in a daze, I am still too young!
Just like this, he came to the company with a depressed mood, and the company's personnel greeted him, but he ignored him and went directly to his office.
After sitting in the office and getting a little sulking, I was relieved. A loss is a loss!
Just pretend that you respect the old and love the young, but it doesn't mean that you don't do anything at all. For example, giving Shao Daheng a script, although it won't cheat him, but you won't waste time on creating it.
In his opinion, "The Official of Life and Death" in the original time and space is good. This movie also belongs to their company in the original time and space, so it should be returned to the original owner.
In this way, I don't suffer at all, he is familiar with this movie!In the original time and space, he liked Zhou Xingxing's movies very much. Basically, he had watched each of his movies several times, and he was familiar with many of them.
In addition, in this time and space, he has the ability to remember with a photograph, so he can clearly understand many movies he has seen before.
So he threw away the file in his hand, and directly typed on the computer, but in less than two hours, a fairly good movie script was released.
There are basically no changes to the original version, just remove a lot of unreasonable parts, and add some plots appropriately. At his level, it is really not too easy to improve an existing movie. Besides, the shortcomings of these movies are in the original Time and space have long been excavated by movie fans.
After finishing it in one go, he still has a little bit of obsession, feeling like he still has something to say.
Only then did he realize that he seemed to be very free during this period of time. Except for understanding some dispensable documents of the company, the rest of the time was wandering around for a few hours, which was a bit empty when he thought about it carefully.
Although I get great physical satisfaction, many inner rich emotions or thoughts cannot be expressed, which is really a bit uncomfortable.
He is also thinking about what novel to write next?
I really can't stop writing. Every time I finish writing a novel, I want to stop for a while, but if I don't touch my hands for a few months, I feel itchy. This is really a bit cheap.
While Zhao Hong's movie "Dragon Inn" is extremely popular, his novel "The Silence of the Lambs" is actually still selling well, especially in the United States bestseller list, which has never fallen out of the top five. In the United States alone In this month and a half, more than 300 million copies were sold.
This number is the best-selling among all his novels in the United States. This book is very popular among many American teenagers. This is mainly because the plot of the novel is very good and makes them feel trembling after reading it. Moreover, the villain is well-shaped Great, this fits the fantasy of a part of their mind.
Through this novel, Zhao Hong has gained a lot, and now he is firmly seated as the number one best-selling novelist in Asia. Someone in South Korea is already looking for his ancestors, which makes him very embarrassed.
He refuses this matter!
While "The Silence of the Lambs" is hot, his other novels are also selling well. He thinks that his writer's fee this year may break through the [-] million dollar barrier, which can be said to be unprecedented.
Zhao Hong's novel manuscript fee has always been 20.00% of the selling price, which can be said to be the highest among all novel writers. There is a reason for such a high manuscript fee.
One is that the publishing house itself is its own company, and the other is that his current novels are synonymous with blockbusters, and they can become popular without much publicity.
He doesn't pay much attention to his royalties anymore. He just signs when paying taxes. He doesn't care much about the tax of more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars, so drizzle!
It's just that Zhao Hong has always spared no effort in setting up offshore companies, and he never stopped if he could pay less.
Well, these are all operated by the old lady. She is making him a citizen who does not pay taxes properly!
What I haven't said is that in the past one and a half months, "The Silence of the Lambs" has sold 800 million copies all over the world, and Europe and the United States alone accounted for more than 700 million copies. This surprised him a bit, and he is really awesome!
He understands both China and the West, and now he admires himself a little.
Hold on tight, don't waver, you are just a porter, Zhao Hong kept cheering herself up like this.
It was even more obvious that other people praised him in a low-key manner after seeing him achieve such achievements. During this period of time, the news about him has not been interrupted in the media.
Zhao Hong didn't even know how many things he had written for them, there was only a little back and forth, but the newspaper readers couldn't help liking it!
Sometimes they still want to report it even if there is no explosive news, because the bad money is just right!
Zhao Hong was in the office thinking about what novel to write next, and for a while he really had no idea, his head was buzzing, he had all kinds of ideas, there were too many choices for him, and he didn't know how to choose for a while.
This is really a happy trouble. Faced with his dizzy head, he had no choice but to stop thinking about it. It was already time to get off work and he was a little hungry. Wouldn't it be delicious to go home for dinner?
Today, the elder sister and he came home from get off work together, and the two chatted about trivial matters in the back seat of the car.
"I'm going to the mainland in a few days, and I'll leave the company's affairs to you." The old lady said casually.
