At the end of the banquet, everyone dispersed and returned home enjoying themselves.
Zou Wenhuai, Cheng Long and others saw each other off until they put Fang Yan and Wang Zuxian in the car and watched them disappear from sight.
“The conditions that Fang Sheng just proposed are too high, aren’t they?”
He Guanchang frowned, “Three million Hong Kong dollars for a script is enough, but this is US$3 million. Knife..."
"Yes, twice as much as my salary!"
Cheng Long's tone was full of envy. Coming back from Hollywood is worth something.
“This is the price of the best screenwriter at the Oscar.”
Zou Wenhuai couldn’t help but sigh, “Besides, there is another plan, where the royalties are invested in shares and the box office is split.”
He Guanchang shook his head and said: "This one sounds more cost-effective and more suitable than the first one. , but when I thought about it carefully, I felt something was wrong. Golden Harvest's movies are distributed in Southeast Asia and even around the world, and the box office dividend may be more than 3 million US dollars."
"The tricky thing is. The difficulty lies here, we want both of the two scripts Fang Sheng mentioned.”
Zou Wenhuai got into the car and said, "In this case, we have to pay at least 6 million US dollars."
Just when everyone was in trouble, the secretary suddenly came up with a bad idea, which was to write the dialect script He took the inspiration as his own and asked Jiahe's screenwriters to create according to the story outline he told. In this way, the company could save a lot of money.
“Shut up!”
Zou Wenhuai scolded, “You can’t come up with this idea of killing the donkey.”
Seeing that Cheng Long was obviously With his heart fluttering, He Guanchang said sternly: "Along, don't look at it that Fang Sheng is just a scholar. He is just a scholar in the mainland. He is a deputy editor-in-chief of a magazine, but his future is unlimited. Whether Jiahe enters Hollywood or enters the mainland market, his support and assistance will be indispensable." Then he solemnly confessed: "People like Fang Sheng. Don’t offend easily, got it?”
Everyone present was shocked by Fang Yan's profound background and energy, especially when they learned that he was also a guest of Shaw Run Run and Huo Guantai.
Cheng Long nodded in agreement, "Then what should we do next?"
"Just think of it as paying tuition for breaking into Hollywood."
He Guan He advocated: "Anyway, it's not just this time that Jiahe made friends. Only you can successfully enter Hollywood, no matter how much money you pay." It’s all worth it!”
Zou Wenhuai said: “It’s not enough to break in, it’s also necessary to establish a firm foothold. Didn’t Fang Sheng say that when he was drinking? Hollywood is the most snobbish, even for the most popular stars. , if you make a few bad movies that bomb at the box office, you will have nothing to shoot in the future, so get out of Hollywood.”
"So we must establish a close cooperative relationship with Fang Sheng."
He Guanchang suggested: "Even if Hollywood's future is not smooth, we can rely on him to open up the mainland market."
< br>"The top priority is to follow what Fang Sheng said, to obtain approval from the relevant mainland departments as soon as possible, preferably before Shaw Brothers."
Zou Wenhuai had firm eyes and a serious tone.
“Before this, should we also follow Fang Tai’s example and put a nail in Fang Sheng’s side?”
"Okay, let's do it this way, but who should we send?"
"I'm afraid it won't work with strangers. It's best to have some friendship with Fang Sheng and Xu Ke... Yes! How about Lin Qingxia!"
"Can she do it?"
"It's feasible! Don't forget that when we invested in Xuke's "New Shushan Swordsman", how did we ask Master Zhang Daqian to write the title?"
As soon as He Guanchang mentioned the past, Zou Wenhuai immediately Thinking back on it.
Back then, in order to win the prize for the upcoming "New Shushan Swordsman", they wanted to invite Zhang Daqian, a master of calligraphy and painting from Sichuan, to title the poster and the title of the film. But at that time, Zhang Daqian had already signed the title, so they came up with a beauty trick to let Zhang Daqian. He makes an exception for his sweet temperament.
So, Lin Qingxia was asked to carry a basket of fruits and make a special trip to Maya Abode to visit her. In the name of "beauty", she warmly invited her.
“Heroes are saddened by beauty. This ‘New Shushan Swordsman, Shu Man Zhang Daqian’ title has become the master’s last calligraphy during his lifetime.”
He Guanchang said: “Master Zhang is like this , I think Fang Sheng is the same, so he won't reject Qingxia thousands of miles away, right?"
Zou Wenhuai laughed loudly, "Yes, the only thing that can make a great scholar fall in love is a beautiful ear."
Seeing the two bosses seriously discussing the arrangement of "beautiful spies", Cheng Long's eyes widened in disbelief. When I think of Lin Qingxia with her bright eyes and white teeth, and then I think of Wang Zuxian whom I met today, the picture is so beautiful that I can’t even imagine it!
………………
The next day, the sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains and gently sprinkled on the bed.
Wang Zuxian turned over lazily. After reporting everything he saw and heard to Fang Yihua last night, all he could think about was dialect, even when he was sleeping. I kept thinking about it all the time. As a result, the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't sleep. I actually had insomnia all night.
Going to the bathroom with faint dark circles under his eyes, there was a sudden "dong-dong" knock on the door.
With a female voice saying "Is Fang Sheng there?", the whole person immediately woke up, secretly opened a crack in the door, and looked out.
I saw Lin Qingxia with long hair shawl, wearing a knee-length pink dress, standing slim at the door of Fang Yan's room.
Because of the hat and mask, Wang Zuxian couldn't recognize it for a while, but she always felt that this figure seemed familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
“Click.”
Fang Yan opened the door and was surprised to see the woman carrying the fruit, but when she took off the mask, she said unexpectedly:
"Miss Lin?!"
"His!"
Seeing the woman's face clearly, Wang Zuxian took a breath of air. She would never have imagined that she would be her idol, fellow countryman and friend. "Lin Qingxia", her head was buzzing, especially when she saw the scene where Fang Yan invited Lin Qingxia into the house, she was "sneaky" and suspected of being a ghost.
Suddenly, I remembered the "Fang Lin Love" that had spread a lot in Xiangjiang a few years ago. Could it be that they were really...
But then I thought about it and thought that Fang Yan was already married. She was a married woman, so this ridiculous thought was suppressed.
"That's wrong!"
Wang Zuxian was suddenly shocked, "Qin Han is also a married man, and Sister Qingxia is still with Qin Han..."
Just when she was thinking about it, Fang Fang The door was opened again, and the two men stood in the corridor, fully clothed.
Lin Qingxia bent down slightly: "I'm really sorry, Fang Sheng, I didn't expect to disturb your creation."
"It's okay, Miss Lin doesn't need to keep apologizing."
Fang Yan said: "It was also during my exchange with Boss Zou that I suddenly decided to write a series of spin-offs on the "Crime Unit" series." Then he glanced at Wang Zuxian's room, "Those gifts made Boss Zou spend a lot of money. Please, please convey my gratitude to them for me.”
“Mr. Zou said these are carefully prepared for you.”< br>
Lin Qingxia pursed her lips and said: "I just left in a hurry last night and neglected this matter for a while, so I asked you to come and say to you on behalf of Jiahe..."
"Look, here we go again. "
Fang Yan waved his hand, "I remember you just said that you were going to see Director Xu and Ms. Shi later, right?"
Lin Qingxia nodded and said: "Since I'm here in Kowloon Tong, I just happened to stop by to take a look. I haven't seen Nan Sheng for a few days. I heard that she went to the mainland to shoot a movie with Director Xu, and it turned out that the filming lasted half a year."< br>
Seeing him suddenly walking forward, he followed closely behind, "Director Xu and Nan Sheng were filming Fang Sheng's "Once Upon a Time", right?"
Fang Yan smiled: " Yes, it's a coincidence that I also plan to go to Director Xu's studio today to talk about the details of the "Once Upon a Time" movie promotion." Then he stopped at the door of Wang Zuxian, "There is another person here, I have an appointment. You are going to meet them with me today."
"That's right..."
Lin Qingxia was not surprised. Before setting off, He Guanzhang explained the whole story to her.
It was precisely because she knew it was her best friend Wang Zuxian that she took the job without hesitation.
When the door was knocked open by the dialect, Wang Zuxian and Lin Qingxia shouted at the same time.
“Qingxia!
“Xiaoxian! "(End of this chapter)
