Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

Chapter 207 0206 [Serving My Own Father, I Didn't Work so Hard! 】

early morning.

"Ah!" Pan Yingzi yawned lazily.

"you're awake?"

Shi Zhijian didn't know when he was already dressed neatly, with a neat suit, combed back hair, and a tie. He looked like a loyal butler, and brought the prepared milk, coffee, and ham sandwiches to her on a small round tray.

Pan Yingzi glanced at Shi Zhijian, wanted to get up, but felt weak all over, and said "Ah" coquettishly.

"What's the matter with you, is there something uncomfortable?" Shi Zhijian stepped forward with concern, put the tray on the head of the bed, picked up the pillow and helped Pan Yingzi up, and put the pillow on her waist.

The poor pillow worked a lot last night, bearing a lot of pressure and support, and now it has become Pan Yingzi's waist treasure.

"You still say? My waist is almost broken." Pan Yingzi gave Shi Zhijian a white look.

Shi Zhijian smiled, "I can't blame you, who made you bad at math, I have no choice but to teach you 'square root' all the time!"

square root?

Pan Yingzi thought for a while, and immediately understood what it meant. In an instant, her eyes were about to drip honey, her cheeks were filled with embarrassment, she pointed to the milk sandwich, and changed the subject: "Did you prepare this?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect this small hotel to be so humane." Shi Zhijian picked up the fresh milk on the tray with his own hands, blew on it, and passed it to Pan Yingzi after feeling that the temperature was about the same.

Pan Yingzi took the milk and gently opened her cherry lips and took a sip, white milk spilled from the corner of her mouth.

Shi Zhijian picked up the bedside tissue and gently wiped the corners of her mouth.

"Is it dirty?!" Pan Yingzi gouged him out.

Shi Zhijian looked at the tissue, "It's very clean!"

Seeing his answer like this, Pan Yingzi couldn't drink the milk anymore, so she picked up the sandwich again, and saw a piece of ham sausage in the middle of the sandwich. She didn't know what she thought of, so she hurriedly put down the sandwich again, picked up the coffee, Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.

Shi Zhijian looked at the milk, then at the sandwich with ham, "Why, these don't suit your taste? I thought you liked them!"

Angry, Pan Yingzi glared at Shi Zhijian coquettishly with her beautiful eyes, "I only like coffee!"

"Got it! I thought too much! I will have a chance to make more coffee for you in the future!" Shi Zhijian took out a contract from behind his back as if by magic, put it in front of Pan Yingzi, and said with a smile: "Ah Zi, you see this is a contract I drafted especially for you, do you like the content? If you are not satisfied, I can modify it at any time!"

Pan Yingzi was slightly taken aback, glanced at the contract, and the joy and happiness in her heart dissipated immediately.

At this moment, she finally understood that no matter how close and loving and considerate she was last night, the relationship between her and him could only be regarded as a transaction.

A transaction that cements mutual trust.

Shi Zhijian seemed to see what she was thinking, put his hands on her shoulders and said, "Don't be unhappy, we are all adults, you should understand what I'm doing."

Pan Yingzi smiled, her beautiful eyes sparkled again, "You are right, we are all adults, so there is no need to worry too much!"

After speaking, Pan Yingzi let go of the contract, picked up a signature pen and wrote her name on it without hesitation: Pan Yingzi!

...

Golden Harvest Film Company.

When Shi Zhijian threw the contract signed by Pan Yingzi to He Guanchang, He Guanchang, Chen Ziqiang and others couldn't help looking at Shi Zhijian with admiration.

None of them expected that Shi Zhijian would sign such a famous female star without saying a word.

Especially now that it is January, the contracts between Pan Yingzi and Shaw Brothers are signed on an annual basis, and now they just expire. Unlike Wang Yu, the original contract must be destroyed.

Now the company can completely publicize that Golden Harvest has a big-name female star like Pan Meimei to create momentum for Golden Harvest's new play.

Of course, Pan Yingzi is not a young girl who just entered the industry, and she will not just sign a contract just because she did some super friendly things with Shi Zhijian last night.

The main reason is that the conditions given by Shi Zhijian are too attractive. After signing Golden Harvest, Golden Harvest will support her alone and use all resources on her. Not to mention her as the heroine, the signing bonus for her transfer is as high as 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.

In other words, regardless of whether Golden Harvest makes a film or not, she will be paid a signing fee of 200,000 yuan this year. If there is a film to be filmed, the film salary will start at a minimum of 20,000 yuan, and the bonus will be calculated separately.

Such high-level treatment is simply unimaginable in Shaw Brothers.

In Shaw Brothers, Shao Daheng is arbitrary, and he doesn't like to be used to those big stars. Your salary is not as much as you want, but as much as he thinks you are worth.

Therefore, the male star with the highest salary in the entire Shaw Brothers only earns 30,000 yuan for one film, and even if he makes ten films a year, he only earns 300,000 yuan. As for the dividends, there is no one at all.

So much so that in 1971, Bruce Lee approached Yifu Shao and asked him to pay 10,000 US dollars for a play, but Yifu Shao directly refused. In the end, Golden Harvest took advantage of it and invited Bruce Lee for 7,500 US dollars (about 42,000 Hong Kong dollars that year).

In 1974, Xu Guanwen, another big star of the Shaw Brothers, used the movie "Ghost and Horse Twin Stars" to negotiate with Shao Yifu, asking for a dividend at the box office, but Shao Yifu sternly refused. Later, Xu Guanwen joined Golden Harvest, and the box office of "Ghost and Horse Twin Stars" reached 6.5 million, which directly broke the Hong Kong box office record, which made Shaw Brothers feel regretful.

In Shao Daheng's view, it would be great if Shaw Brothers gave you a stage and let you make money. You are not qualified to negotiate terms with Shaw Brothers at all.

Just as everyone was discussing how to use Pan Yingzi's contract to expand publicity, Zou Wenhuai also came back from the outside.

Zou Wenhuai looked tired, but his eyes were bright, and he walked with wind. When he entered the room, without saying a word, he took out the contract that Shi Zhijian gave him last night, then slumped on the chair, and said two words: "It's done!"

Shi Zhijian took out a cigarette, knocked out one and handed it to him, and struck a match to light it for him.

Zou Wenhuai was not too polite, took a puff of a cigarette comfortably, then slowly exhaled a smoke ring, and said the second sentence: "Damn, I'm exhausted!"

Can make Zou Wenhuai swear, it can be seen that he was really tired last night.

According to what Zou Wenhuai said, he stayed in the hospital with Wang Yu all night yesterday.

Xu Shaoqiang, who rushed to the street, said he was Wang Yu's good brother, and he was very loyal and wanted to take care of him.

When Wang Yu spit out the wine, Xu Shaoqiang couldn't take it anymore, and urinated directly to the toilet.

Helpless, Zou Wenhuai had no choice but to hold the spittoon and pat his back, making Wang Yu vomit again and again.

Later, Xu Shaoqiang called a friend to go to the ballroom to pick up girls, leaving Zou Wenhuai alone to accompany Wang Yu.

Wang Yu took glucose to hangover, and Zou Wenhuai pulled a chair and lay down beside the bed.

Wang Yu woke up and wanted to drink tea, so he poured tea and served it to him.

Wang Yu wanted to pee, so he helped him go to the bathroom, and he almost helped him take off his pants.

Zou Wenhuai was tortured to death all night. According to Zou Wenhuai's words, "I didn't work so hard to serve my own father."

Zou Wenhuai's behavior moved Wang Yu, and Wang Yu is a very trustworthy person, since he lost the bet, he would admit defeat.

So after reading the content of the contract, he helped Zou Wenhuai sign it without saying a word.

According to the content of the contract, Wang Yu switched to Golden Harvest, and Golden Harvest paid Wang Yu a signing bonus of 500,000 yuan. In the future, the minimum remuneration for each film will be no less than 30,000 Hong Kong dollars. In addition, Wang Yu will get a certain percentage of the box office for each film he shoots. dividends.

In other words, Golden Harvest has already spent 700,000 of the 1 million raised to sign two big-name stars, leaving 300,000.

In this day and age, 300,000 yuan is more than enough to make one or two movies, but the question is how to release the movie after the movie is finished?

Shi Zhijian is the kind of person who is very cautious in doing things. Now that Jiahe has poached Wang Yu and Pan Yingzi from Shaw, no matter how grand Shao Daheng is, he will not just sit idly by.

In particular, Wang Yu still used the method of "stealing the contract", so it can be expected that Shaw Brothers will soon counterattack or even strangle Jiahe.

And the best way to strangle Golden Harvest is to block it!

You have made a film, and you are not given the opportunity to release it, so that you do not have a theatrical release, that is the scariest thing.

If the money is spent but the box office cannot be recovered, then there is only one result of waiting for Golden Harvest, and that is - to hit the street!

For this reason, the last thing Shi Zhijian has to do now is to buy theaters!

Let Golden Harvest own its own theater chain and not be swayed by Shaw Brothers.

"Old Zou, Lao He, please work hard, and immediately investigate how many movie theaters there are in Hong Kong! We Golden Harvest must have our own movie theaters if we want to avoid getting stuck!"

"Eh? Again?!"

Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang and others were directly stunned by Shi Zhijian's growing ambitions. First, he set up a company, then used crowdfunding to collect money, then signed Wang Yu and Pan Yingzi, and now he wanted to buy theaters.

Just ask, who can match such boldness? !
