Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 23

Luo Junyan has been very happy recently, and he has begun to cheekily go to the various crews to blend relations and learn art from the teacher.

All kinds of people in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle regarded Luo Junyan as the only alternative in the homework, and had a mentality of not getting along with it. Although most people will scold him for “shit luck” behind their backs, they will greet him with smiles and warm compliments.

Actually speaking, it is very simple. In the beginning, everyone thought of him as a pig bajie. After working diligently on the set, they identified him as a monk Sha.

When the film was made, I thought it was a white dragon at most, and I had to rely on someone to ride it on the road. In the end, it turned out to be Sun Monkey. He stole the elixir and was not held back. Instead, there was a Guanyin lady behind him.

Therefore, whether you want to win over, use, or suppress or control Luo Junyan, you must consider all the gods, unless you don’t care about the benefits that his fame, fortune, and connections can bring.

Fa Ge is one of the people in the circle who doesn’t care, of course he is still fat at this time.

Chow Yun-fat just finished filming the movie “Golden List Hero”, Luo Junyan has been mixed in the crew, and the relationship between the two people has become much closer. Tonight, Luo Junyan was idle and fine, and asked Zhou Yunfa to bring Chen Yulian to the food stall for supper.

Brother Fa just sipped it and said, “A Jun, are you going to consume it like this? Now the directors on the set are all scared by you. They flash when they look at you. To be honest, they can’t give you a role.”

Luo Junyan ate Xiaochahuang and said, “Brother Fa, I have almost run all over the film companies in Xiangjiang. If the boss doesn’t see it, or if he happens to meet him, he will invite me to drink tea. There is no film. You can drink tea casually. Jiahe was even more outrageous. I shook the front desk lady and said, I came to visit Boss Zou to worship Lord Qi, and she went up and asked. The result came back and told me that we could order Lord Bai Qi first, and wait until Shao’s forehead was completed. The appointment will be formally bowed into the contract.”

Chen Yulian was very happy drinking, she couldn’t laugh after listening to him. Although the two had just met, she spoke very directly. Asked: “A Jun, it is said that your salary is very high, so how much is the salary you signed with Shaw Brothers?”

Fa Ge interrupted: “A Jun, since the company hasn’t announced it to the outside world, you should keep it secret.”

Sister Lian asked disdainfully: “The salary must be kept secret?”

Luo Junyan filled them with wine and said: “Brother Fa, Sister Lian, I don’t know how Shaw planned, but I know it will be fine after telling you. In fact, it’s not high, 300,000 for a play.”

Brother Fa and Sister Lian had their eyes straight. Sister Lian said, “300,000 is not too high? We made a movie for Shaw Brothers, and the protagonist’s salary was only 40,000 yuan, and wireless had to pay a commission.”

Fa Ge was silent for a while, and said: “A-Lian, it’s really not that high. A Jun’s box office for a movie is more than a dozen of me.”

Luo Junyan said: “Brother Fa, Sister Lian, in fact, your acting skills and image are better than mine. But now Shaw is shooting low-cost films, and there are a lot of films, so they must be rushed out to make up the number of works. ,Right?”

Sister Lian said: “A Jun, no one will ask if we want to go outside to shoot. The company’s offer will be very high, and the schedule can’t be fixed, so the risk of people shooting the film is much higher.”

Luo Junyan said: “Then how do you buy a house when you get married? The house price has risen so fast. I bought a house last year for 280,000 yuan, which was so expensive at the time, but now it is 400,000 yuan for the same house.”

Sister Lian tweeted: “A Jun, don’t talk nonsense, how can we date and date.”

Brother Fa took a sip of wine and said, “The company is pretty good for us. Many TVB artists can only get 1,000 yuan a month. Jun, you are a special case among artists, and everyone has their own fate. I’m not envious. But next year I also plan to borrow from the bank to make mortgage payments. The increase is indeed too ridiculous.”

Luo Junyan thought for a while and said, “Or I will ask you to make a movie?”

Fa Ge and Sister Lian both laughed, and Fa Ge said, “A Jun, thank you. But you haven’t settled your own affairs yet, don’t make any extravagance.”

Luo Junyan said: “Brother Fa, don’t think of me as joking. Then my master said that both Brother Fa and Sister Lian have the potential to become top stars. I have also seen you acting on the set. The image and acting skills are very good. I make a movie to make money. It is possible to make money with good actors. I can write the script first, and you will decide after you read it.”

Sister Lian was not very interested, and said, “Forget it, Ajun. It is troublesome to negotiate with the company about foreign loans, and there will be gossip in the company.” She is worried that Shaw will have ideas, after all, Luo Junyan He hadn’t filmed Shaw Brothers yet, but his own artiste was drawn to film him first. Isn’t Shaw’s production ability good?

On the contrary, Fa Ge was a little tempted, and kept his head down without speaking. First, he was full of longing for the big screen, and second, he was also deeply dissatisfied with TVB’s rewards. After the Shanghai beach was on fire, he followed the broker to Malaysia to earn extra money. After returning, he asked TVB for a crime.

That night, Cheng went crazy when he heard Luo Junyan finished his thoughts.

After Zhong Chuhong’s affairs, Brother Cheng wanted to understand. These big names are not born with different talents. There are too many accidental and inevitable factors for their success. Even if you get it right now, it will delay their respective futures. So Cheng didn’t want to get too close to these dazzling figures.

Brother Cheng tried to stay calm and said, “Then what do you mean by asking me?”

Luo Junyan said: “Master, the script depends on you.”

Brother Cheng said: “A Jun, the Snowman Age is gliding against the wind, and will spread its wings high in the sky at any time. As the deputy captain, I lead all my colleagues to stay together day and night. Your sister hasn’t been home for a few days. Don’t you know? Moreover, the ancients taught us that we should be calm as a virgin, and if we are moving like a rabbit, you who keep jumping up and down, are you not afraid of tearing the hymen?”

Luo Junyan said: “Master, didn’t you say that Fa Ge’s future is limitless. Nowadays, the opportunity is rare. I can exchange TVB for the opportunity to loan Fa Ge.”

Brother Cheng said: “Fuzzy. Jun, you wiped out the pay, what should Shaw ask you to do when you take a romantic movie?”

Luo Junyan said: “If my new film sells well, Shaw Brothers should not let me make that kind of film? After all, Fengyue film does not have much box office capacity.”

Brother Cheng turned his head and closed his eyes, and said, “How do you guarantee that the new film will sell well?” Then he dragged Luo Junyan to sister army’s office.

Sister Army and Luo Meizi were studying customer information and had to put down their work and listened to them briefly.

Luo Meiwei brought coffee in, but was also left to listen to her together.

After hearing this, Sister Army did not reject it, but asked: “A Jun, who do you plan to invest in? Which company do you want to distribute? In which theater?”

Luo Junyan got stuck immediately, and after holding back for a long time, he said, “Sister Army, I haven’t planned to get there yet. Would you please give me some guidance?”

Sister Army didn’t answer, but asked again: “If the new film sells at the box office, but Shaw still wants you to make a romantic film, what do you do?”

Luo Junyan was completely silent this time.

Luo Meizi said with a stern tone, “Xiaojun, you are definitely not allowed to shoot that kind of film.”

Sister Army turned to Brother Cheng and asked, “Brother Cheng, is there any way you can stop Shaw Brothers from thinking like this?”

Brother Cheng glanced at sister army and felt that she was going to support Luo Junyan to make a new film, so he said: “You can sign a gambling agreement with Shaw Brothers. The three movies signed by A Jun and Shaw are produced by A Jun. Shaw Brothers only participates in investment as a financial investor and cannot intervene in any aspect of the new film.”

Brother Cheng took a sip of coffee and continued: “A Jun will promise Shaw’s minimum performance in the gambling agreement, and ultimately take the payment back to the account as the actual performance. If the actual performance does not exceed the guaranteed performance, then Ajun needs to use The guaranteed performance is the base, and Shaw’s due income is doubled. If the actual performance exceeds the guaranteed performance, then the Shaw’s profit will be allocated according to the actual performance amount.”

People in the office are quietly considering the feasibility of this plan.

Sister Army said: “Brother Cheng, Shaw Brothers will definitely speak up. You are asking Junhao to gamble.”

Luo Junyan said: “I’m willing to gamble. I lose the bet, but I’ll work for Shaw for a lifetime, and if I want to make romantic films, I will shoot. Anyway, men don’t suffer.”

Luo Meizi went up to slap him, and was hugged dangerously by Luo Meiwei.

Sister Army said: “Azi, don’t get excited.” Then she said to Brother Cheng: “Brother Cheng, I have an idea. We will study it later. But the script and budget of the new movie still need you to host. , These two are the top priorities.”

Brother Cheng nodded helplessly.

Sister Army said: “Avi, you help me collect specific information about famous directors, including their schedule for next year. Azi, help me make creative plans. I will talk about the specific content with you later.”

Luo Meiwei and Luo Meizi nodded at the same time, and said, “Okay, sister army.”

Sister Army finally said to Luo Junyan: “I will draw up the terms of the gambling agreement. You have to cooperate with Brother Haocheng in the near future and be prepared for negotiation. In addition, even if you work for Shaw for free, you will have a lifetime of romance. For the film, Shaw will not agree that your value is more than double the compensation, so I need to be your guarantor.”

Sister Army took a sip of coffee and then said: “A Jun, how do you persuade me to come forward?”

Luo Junyan sighed, feeling all kinds of speechless tonight, so he said: “From now on, I will obey the three orders of sister army unconditionally. No matter what the content of the order is, I will do my best according to the requirements. Go finish it. Master, Sister Wei and Sister Wei are all witnesses.”

Luo Meizi tried to stop her with a word, but she held it back, just glanced at sister army.

Sister Army smiled and said, “You can trust me. Okay, then our deal is concluded.”

Next, several people took their own responsibilities, and they were very busy.

Finally, before December, Luo Junyan delivered the gambling agreement to Fang Yihua. After careful consideration, the army sister revised the gambling terms of the agreement.

Fang Yihua and Run Run Shaw recruited Liang Weixiang, Li Hanxiang and Chief Financial Officer Zhang Jinhua to their homes to discuss the pros and cons of this gambling agreement.

Zhang Jinhua first reported on the main terms of the agreement, saying: “Everyone, I will extract the key figures involved in this so-called gambling agreement first. Luo Junyan used three starring films produced in two years as a guide. For the gambling subject, Shaw is invited to invest 5 million Hong Kong dollars as a financial investor, and the investment proportion is constant at 50%, and the two parties agreed to replace the head contract between Synergy Entertainment and Luo Junyan with the subject matter.”

Zhang Jinhua glanced at Uncle Six, and Uncle Six nodded to express clearly, and then continued: “For those who are gambling, Luo Junyan promised a total guaranteed performance of 30 million Hong Kong dollars. If the guaranteed performance is actually achieved, Shaw will be based on the investment ratio. Dividends. If the guaranteed performance is not achieved, Shaw will still pay dividends in proportion to the investment. At the same time, Luo Junyan will invest 10 million Hong Kong dollars to compensate Shaw, and the army is the executive guarantor.”

Uncle Six said: “This commercial gambling agreement is something new. You can discuss it, Weixiang, what do you think?”

Liang Weixiang hurriedly stood up and said, “Uncle Six, everyone. I have pondered over this agreement. Although many of the calculations are not essential, there is no risk of making a profit of more than 5 million in two years. IMHO. Even if Luo Junyan’s official contract is executed together, the investment in the three films will be close to or even more than 5 million, but how much will the final box office sell? Subordinates’ expectations are hard to be optimistic.”

Fang Yihua couldn’t see that he was always on the verge of making promises, waved his hand to beckon him to sit down, and then asked Li Hanxiang, “Director Li, what do you think?”

Director Li frowned and read the contents of the agreement and said: “This Luo Junyan is really bold. I am absolutely afraid to make such a promise. The guaranteed performance of the three dramas in the past two years is 30 million. This is not a box office result. It’s the amount of money back to the account. Doesn’t the box office have to exceed 60 million? The average box office of each film is more than 20 million. I really can’t understand it. In short, I only rely on the Xiangjiang market. I want to bet to win. Don’t even think about it.”

At this time, Zhang Jinhua said: “In fact, Luo Junyan does not necessarily need to reach a guarantee agreement. As long as the amount of payment exceeds 20 million, he can generate a surplus. However, the premise is that the total cost of the three films cannot be higher than 5 million, which means that no Bring in other investors.”

Director Li said: “If you want to win a box office of 20 million, even if it is not a blockbuster investment at a sky-high price, at least it is impossible for the screenwriter, director, and artist to start the game with just a few people, and it must be meticulously crafted. If you shoot with us It’s the same. They are all old-school themed movies that cut costs and come out in time. I don’t believe that the audience will still chase him?”

Liang Weixiang quickly coughed twice to remind him not to talk nonsense.

Zhang Jinhua hurriedly said: “If according to Uncle Xiang’s judgment, then Luo Junyan will not be able to achieve guaranteed performance. What makes me wonder is why the army has so much confidence in Luo Junyan?”

Fang Yihua did not make any comments this time.

Uncle Six finally said: “Shaw Brothers has no right to specify the release and screening of the film. Would he still go to Jiahe or Golden Princess?”

Fang Yihua said: “It is unlikely to introduce investment, otherwise Luo Junyan will not even have a chance to make money. However, in terms of distribution and screening, he is very likely to lobby Lei Juekun to reduce the theater’s box office share. After all, Jin Since the establishment of the Princess Theatre, there has not been a box office hit film, which is bad for morale.”

Uncle Six said: “Then add one. Under the same conditions, Shaw enjoys the priority of cooperation in distribution and screening. Since Luo Junyan has shown a back-to-back spirit, I will make an exception for him this time.”
