Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 60

Luo Junyan was idle again. At ATV, no one cares about him now, and he is eager to connect the show of “Electronic Music Magician”.

Luo Junyan is now accustomed to checking the account he signed with sister army when she has time. Whenever she finds that sister army has expenditure records, she is very happy. It’s just that the growth of this account’s funds is too slow, with a fixed monthly salary of 3,500 yuan and a normal work remuneration of 10,000 yuan each month.

Luo Junyan was upset again, and he wanted to make this account plump up as soon as possible.

Today the stock market is still rising, his stock market value has exceeded 50 million Hong Kong dollars, but he cannot reduce his holdings in a short-term. As for Snowman Century Entertainment, there is a lot of money in the company’s account. It hasn’t been a year since it opened, and I was too anxious to share dividends.

The only thing that can make up your mind is the special account of the Snowman Times Building. This need made the old lady nod her head, Luo Junyan didn’t dare to do it rashly, and had to think about it longer.

In fact, most of Luo Junyan’s money is lying idle in his account, and the loan from the Bank of East Asia in the Snowman Times Building is not in a hurry at all. According to the prior agreement, even if he pays back the money in advance, the interest will not be reduced by one cent.

Luo Junyan can now use large sums of cash to invest. But he really doesn’t have the concept of investment, and he is convinced that he does not have the vision to invest. People are expensive and self-knowledge, otherwise, sooner or later, luck will be astigmatized.

“Fortune Stars” has been drawn across the board, with a final box office of 30.75 million Hong Kong dollars, setting a new record for the box office of a Hong Kong movie and becoming the first film to exceed the 30 million mark in one fell swoop. With Jackie Chan and Luo Junyan’s influence in Japan and South Korea, the box office results in other cities have made Jiahe look forward to.

Jiahe’s owner, Zou Wenhuai, is also very interesting. At the celebration banquet of “Fu Xing Gao Zhao”, he gave Luo Junyan a red envelope of 180,000, exactly the same as the number of red envelopes Shaw gave Luo Junyan back then.

This is a bit intriguing. It may be that Jiahe intends to recruit Luo Junyan, expressing the attitude that it will never offer lower prices than other companies. After all, Luo Junyan’s contract with ATV only has less than one year left.

Since then, the number of film companies that took the initiative to come to the door began to increase, Luo Junyan is like a mascot, too strong at the box office. Xiangjiang merchants are more superstitious about fortune and fate. Those who are lucky can’t suppress them, so they can share their wealth.

The directors of this year’s New Wave are particularly active. Zhang Wanting returned from studying in the United States and officially joined the ranks of Xiangjiang film directors. She invited Luo Junyan to participate in her new film “Illegal Immigration”, but Luo Junyan declined.

There are many other film appointments that have been declined, and Luo Junyan now no longer casually accepts roles. He has evaluated himself, and he would never be that kind of all-round actor, let alone make movies for **** awards.

Luo Junyan now has his own knowledge of the movie, the world is big, the audience is the largest, hello and me, the best box office. How to win the favor of the audience? In the words of Brother Cheng, this is a systematic project.

Luo Junyan needs to delineate a territory suitable for his genre film, as long as he reaches this territory, then he is the uncrowned king.

After listening to his thoughts, Brother Cheng seriously thought about it for a long time, but in the end he still failed to give Luo Junyan any valuable suggestions.

What types of movies can hold a place firmly in Xiangjiang, and it is difficult for others to follow suit? There are too many factors involved in this question, and Brother Cheng has no clue at all.

Luo Junyan also mentioned his thoughts when talking with sister army.

Sister Army’s answer is, let him think about it from another angle. This is like martial arts people who want to establish a sect. It is natural to have a solid foundation to establish a sect, but will there be less trouble in establishing a sect? At least the master himself is bound by martial arts rules.

However, although the Lone Ranger wanders and is uncertain, he wins in his unrestrainedness, and he has no tricks. Sister Army believes that Luo Junyan’s biggest advantage is to be unconventional, so he should persevere in going forward. Always one step ahead is his unique trick.

Luo Junyan recalled his experience since filming, and indeed they are constantly making new and different things. The theme of the film, the content of the script, the method of filming, the setting of the characters, and the means of publicity have never been the same.

And often after his films became popular, other film companies began to follow suit. But these films obviously cannot be compared with his original films, whether it is the intuitive benefits or the personal image that has been promoted in the eyes of the audience.

In fact, sister Army knows Luo Junyan very well, knowing that he cannot be as self-contained as Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan. This has to do with factors such as background, connections, personality, goals and so on. So she euphemistically persuades Luo Junyan to be a lone ranger, so that at least he won’t be trapped in the quagmire of fame and fortune in the entertainment industry.

As for success and wealth, sister army no longer wants Luo Junyan to value these things too much. What’s more, Luo Junyan is now definitely the most well-deserved rich man among the stars in the entertainment industry. Jackie Chan’s total money is not even as much as Luo Junyan’s account in the Snowman Times Building.

Luo Junyan found Brother Cheng for another round of chatting, and Brother Cheng didn’t have that headache for this formulation. Isn’t it innovation? Isn’t it preconceived? Isn’t it just a shot to change a place? This is absolutely no problem.

In this way, the business idea of ​​Snowman Century Entertainment was determined. Adhere to the line of boutique innovation, whether in the film industry or other areas in the entertainment circle, be the one who eats the crab first.

After March, all six monthly album videos of “Electronic Magician” have been released. Video tape shipments in March were 380,000 discs. The Japanese market accounted for the largest share, and Nanyang’s sales grew the fastest.

This time, another 2.09 million was received, and there was a full 15 million in cash lying idle on the account of Snowman Century Entertainment.

The part-time contract between the band and the dance company has been signed for half a year, and all personnel have been disbanded, and the company has basically no expenses at present.

When it was disbanded, Luo Junyan sealed a red envelope of 80,000 yuan to everyone. Moreover, the Beyond band is allowed to use the electronic music studio for free, as long as it is responsible for cleaning the company’s hygiene every day, and then talk about renting after it is famous and rich.

At present, the film contracts of Li Lizhen and Li Saifeng have been signed by Jiahe, Luo Meiwei has just signed TVB, and Wen Bixia is going to school but also attracts attention. This electronic music program has benefited the four girls a lot, and the rookie period that needs to be run for a few years can be skipped directly.

At this time, two news came out in the movie circle. One was that Pan Disheng, a wealthy man who started the luxury watch monopoly business, acquired most of the shares of Debao Films, and another rich man stepped into the movie circle. The other news is rumors, it is said that Shaw Brothers will completely stop production this year.

Although it is only a rumor that the Shaw Brothers will stop production, it is enough to shake the world. The Shaw Brothers Film Company is known as Oriental Hollywood, and its influence in Hong Kong and even in Asia is too great. If Shaw Brothers really ceases production, then its contracted artists, theaters, studios, and even film rights will all become disputes. Grab high-quality resources.

Luo Junyan specially asked Wang Jing to come out for a drink, inquiring about the news by the way.

Wang Xiaopang is a very strict-sounding person, and he can only talk openly when facing Luo Junyan. Because the two are so familiar, they will touch each other in private when there is a good opportunity, maybe they can take the opportunity to make a fortune.

After listening to Wang Xiaopang’s explanation, Luo Junyan said, “Brother Xiang, according to your opinion, Shaw can survive the summer vacation at least?”

Wang Xiaopang nodded, took a sip of red wine, and said, “A Jun, now Shaw’s contracted artists can pick up outside film appointments at will. As long as the conditions are suitable for the theater, which film is out of Jiahe. You can shift gears, and of course I can also help with talking in the middle.”

Luo Junyan instantly understood Wang Xiaopang’s intentions and said, “Brother Xiang, how many films do you plan to direct this year?”

Wang Xiaopang squinted at him, and said, “A Jun, have you been to see “The Flying Man”? Forget it, please don’t move you to join me in the second half of the year. I only have one “Modern Fairy” left in the second half “Living Romance” is expected to be released in the summer.”

Wang Xiaopang followed up and said: “It’s the one that I sent you the movie before. It turned out to be rejected by you. The heroine is Maggie Cheung. I offer you a chance to renew the relationship, but you don’t appreciate it.”

Luo Junyan smiled and said: “Brother Xiang, go back and pack a bottle of red wine and go home. I really forgot about “The Flying Man”. Let’s talk about serious matters. If I invest and star in a movie, you will be the director. How’s it going? The pay and the box office are divided into two options. You can decide for yourself.”

Wang Xiaopang blinked and asked, “How do you calculate the box office share?”

Luo Junyan thought for a while and said, “Brother Xiang, will I treat you badly? Three points. You don’t need to bargain with me. I have a direct reserve price, which is definitely much higher than your income from making a film. “

Wang Xiaopang directed the film in Shaw Brothers, his income is really not high, and the box office split is something that you don’t need to think about. He calculated it in his mind, even if the box office is only 10 million, he can still get 300,000, and he will make less than 100,000 yuan for a film when he plays Shaw Brothers.

Therefore, Wang Xiaopang said slowly: “A Jun, you shouldn’t even have a script now, can’t you be in time?”

Luo Junyan smiled, and said calmly: “Brother Xiang, I’m not worried about my affairs. I guarantee that the film will be released in the summer.”

Wang Xiaopang laughed too, and touched him with a toast, which was a final decision.

Luo Junyan went straight to Brother Cheng’s villa that night. He didn’t know what to do, the ghost knew that the script couldn’t figure it out.

Brother Cheng listened to him briefly talk about the matter, thought for a moment, and asked: “A Jun, has there ever been a serious infectious disease in Xiangjiang?”

Luo Junyan said without hesitation: “There was an influenza outbreak between 1968 and 1969, and more than 100,000 people died. Now the citizens of Xiangjiang still have lingering fears.”

Brother Cheng said: “Then we will make a disaster thriller this time, and the name is “Flu”. Time is tight and the task is heavy, and I can’t make a hype without finding a terrifying gimmick. I will give you the script in two days, the heroine. If you are around the age of 25, you must find a movie with good acting skills, and the vase can’t hold up this movie.”

Luo Junyan thought for a while and said, “I will go to Zhong Chuhong tomorrow. Her conditions are the most suitable.”

Brother Cheng nodded, remembering the Korean “Flu” in his mind. Thanks to the fact that the Spring Festival movie was withdrawn before he crossed, the “Flu” was re-screened in the theater instead of the New Year movie, so he was quite impressed.

The next day, Luo Junyan didn’t have a script yet, so he ran to see Zhong Chuhong, what exactly was going to be filmed? Luo Junyan couldn’t say it clearly.

Zhong Chuhong’s schedule is okay, but he said that he has to read the script and discuss with his agent before deciding whether to sign. Luo Junyan pulled his arms and hugged her waist, and used his deadly tactics to force her to sign the contract. Zhong Chuhong was particularly calm. Anyway, if he was photographed by the reporter, no one might be at a disadvantage.

After Luo Junyan left from Zhong Chuhong’s place, she didn’t feel much support.

He has suffered a lot when the heroine changed her mind. The entertainers in the entertainment circle are public and private. A good private relationship does not mean that they will cooperate with you in public affairs. What’s more, behind the artists, there are also the interests of the contracted company and the agent.

The production time left for Luo Junyan is too short, and he must find more suitable female artists as candidates for the heroine candidates. So Luo Junyan called Taiwan to ask Yang Dengkui for help, but Yang Dengkui could not be reached.

The Taiwan authorities launched a cleanup project after the Spring Festival this year, with the target being the bigwigs behind the scenes of major societies. Yang Dengkui is now making new brothers in prison.

Luo Junyan definitely couldn’t help with this kind of thing, and didn’t have time to express his emotions. The first thing he thought of was that the distribution of the “Electronic Magician” video tape in the Taiwan market had to be quickly taken over by a new agent.

There is no hope for Taiwan, and the only way to cast a net within the limits of Xiangjiang. Luo Junyan brought Director Wang out again to discuss, and he had to count on Director Wang to discuss personal connections.

Wang Xiaopang has never read the script. The ghost knows what Luo Junyan thinks of the heroine. But he still frowned, pretending to be racking his brains. Some people are born with high emotional intelligence.

After a while, he said: “Ajun, how about Brigitte Lin? Although she has not developed very smoothly after coming to Xiangjiang, she is definitely one of the best in terms of appearance conditions, and her acting skills are also fair.”

Luo Junyan shook his head and said, “The horoscopes don’t fit. Brother Xiang, I don’t want to look for me if there is a movie where she will appear in the future.”

Wang Xiaopang glanced at Luo Junyan, the gossip heart was boiling again, the two of them hadn’t heard of any intersection, but they had such deep grievances. Wang Xiaopang tapped on his temple again and said, “Where is Hu Huizhong? You just worked together.”

Luo Junyan thought for a while, and said: “You can make an appointment to have a talk, but she is now taking the route of beating women.”

Wang Xiaopang said: “A Jun, we are old friends, so I just say a few more words. It’s a disadvantage for you to find an actor like this. Everyone can see that you are looking for a lot of people in a hurry, and you are looking for first-line female stars. , People will speak loudly. It doesn’t matter how much you are willing to invest, but this time we are just taking advantage of a loophole. It’s a speculation. Don’t try to steal the chicken and lose the rice in the end.”

Luo Junyan was awakened by Wang Xiaopang’s words. She was indeed enthusiastic and couldn’t tell the priority. So I asked, “Brother Xiang, are there any cheaper actresses that can basically meet my requirements.”

Wang Xiaopang knew that this product had no pursuit of art, and said: “After you issued the order, I was inquiring around overnight. A Rong heard that you were going to make a movie, so he recommended a newcomer, and this female artist just worked with him. After filming “Love for You”, A Rong thinks she has a talent for acting. I guess you should also have the impression that the girl who played the little sister Ai Ling in “Gong Xi Fa Cai” is 22 years old this year.”

Luo Junyan asked suspiciously: “Brother Xiang, I haven’t watched “Gong Xi Fa Cai”. How come I have an impression? Just tell me her name.”

Wang Xiaopang widened his eyes and said, “A Jun, you are really closed. “Gong Hei Fa Cai” and “Fu Xing Gao Zhao” are in the Spring Festival stalls. Don’t you pay attention to it? Forget it, you have a good fortune, we Incomparable. Her name is Bai Anni, a Chinese-Malaysian, and she is a talented student who graduated from the Department of Biology of the University of Hong Kong.”

Luo Junyan immediately became interested and said, “The Biology Department? Isn’t that the researcher of germs? Brother Xiang, let Brother Rong help me contact her immediately.”

Wang Xiaopang thought: The Department of Biology is not the Department of Medicine. What does it have to do with germs? But still smiled and nodded, expressing admiration for Luo Junyan’s erudition.

Wang Xiaopang’s feelings for Luo Junyan are more complicated. Switching to another collaborator, he must fool the other party to ask the popular female star to make a vase for the movie, and spend a lot of money. The effect is not within his scope of consideration.

But for Luo Junyan, Director Wang can’t do that. One thing is that the two people really met at the end of the micro, with some simple friendship; the other is that Luo Junyan wants money, money, popularity and popularity, and is a very good partner for cooperation.
