"I've been filming with you these days, how would I know? Just take a look and you'll know." said the fat man.
"It's better to go up and ask..." The shorter man was about to go forward when a car stopped in front of Jiahe.
After He Guanchang, Zou Wenhuai and Liang Feng immediately went forward to greet him, the shorter man stopped.
"Boss He, Boss Zou, Boss Liang, why did you bother to come out and greet me in person? I'm sorry.
Director Zhang, these are the three CEOs of Golden Harvest, Mr. He, Mr. Zou, and Mr. Liang.
Mr. He, Mr. Zou, Mr. Liang, this is Director Zhang Qiurui. Jiang Zhiqiang was slightly taken aback when he saw the three CEOs of Jiahe personally welcoming him at the door. It seemed that the three CEOs of Jiahe were more interested in Director Zhang than he had imagined.
No wonder Golden Harvest has become on par with the old Shaw Brothers in just a few years of development. The vision and decision-making of its three CEOs cannot be underestimated.
Afterwards, Jiang Zhiqiang introduced them to each other.
"Hello, Mr. He, Mr. Zou, and Mr. Liang!" Zhang Qiurui smiled and walked forward to shake hands with the three of them.
"Director Zhang, I've heard a lot about you. Let's go inside and talk." Zou Wenhuai responded enthusiastically. He looked at the girl in front of him and suddenly felt old.
Calm, dignified, yet youthful and energetic. It's true that heroes emerge from youth.
At the same time, he led Zhang Qiurui sideways into Jiahe.
When Zhang Qiurui passed by the hall, she suddenly saw two men on the right. Her eyes lit up slightly, and she nodded at them with a smile on her lips.
"Why do I feel like that woman seems to know us and even smiled at us?" said the fat man.
"I heard that Mr. Zou seemed to call that woman Director Zhang? She is a director? Such a young director?" The short man asked curiously.
After hearing this, the fat man looked thoughtful.
........。
After Zhang Qiurui and his group arrived at the office, they asked their assistant to make tea. After closing the door, Zhang Qiurui slowly sipped the tea, seemingly in no hurry to start the conversation.
Jiang Zhiqiang, Zou Wenhuai, Liang Feng, and He Guanchang were also drinking tea, and no one seemed willing to speak first.
In cooperation negotiations, if one party loses patience first, it will easily fall into a disadvantage in the negotiations.
Zhang Qiurui's eyes slowly moved between the four people.
Jiang Zhiqiang coughed lightly, trying to break the oppressive silence, but Zhang Qiurui just smiled slightly and raised his teacup.
Zou Wenhuai, Liang Feng and He Guanchang exchanged subtle glances.
"Director Zhang is quite patient. Excuse me, is Director Zhang really only fifteen years old this year?" Zou Wenhuai was the first to break the silence.
Looking at the girl in front of him, her eyes revealed a calmness and depth that was inconsistent with her age, which made people curious about her real age.
Zhang Qiurui gently put down the teacup, a faint smile on her lips. That smile contained the innocence of a young girl, but also seemed to contain wisdom and strategy beyond her age.
"Age is just a number. What's important is ability and talent." Zhang Qiurui said with unquestionable confidence.
Zou Wenhuai, Liang Feng and Ho Kwun-chang began to re-examine the young director in front of them.
"Director Zhang wants to cooperate with us at Golden Harvest. How do you want to cooperate?" Zou Wenhuai asked, stepping into today's topic.
"Here are the script and budget." Zhang Qiurui took out the script, budget and shooting plan printed yesterday from his backpack and pushed them in front of Zou Wenhuai, Jiang Zhiqiang, Liang Feng and He Guanchang.
"Love" Zou Wenhuai's mind turned when he saw the title of the play.
"If this film was shot according to the mainland budget, it could have been completed with 200,000 Hong Kong dollars. However, the cost of living and pay in Hong Kong is far from comparable to that in the mainland, so I calculated the budget at three times the mainland price, which is 600,000 Hong Kong dollars.
"Preliminary preparations are underway, with filming starting in mid-August, expected to wrap up in October, and editing completed in November. I'm planning to enter this film at next year's Berlin Film Festival," Zhang Qiurui explained his filming plans in an orderly manner.
However, when Jiang Zhiqiang, Zou Wenhuai, Liang Feng and He Guanchang heard Zhang Qiurui say that she planned to submit this film to the Berlin Film Festival next year, the four of them suddenly looked up.
Some people were surprised, some looked puzzled, and some had expressions that said, "As expected."
"Director Zhang, are you very confident about winning the award?" Zou Wenhuai asked with a hint of inquiry and expectation.
“I can’t predict the judges’ preferences, and I can’t be sure whether I can win the award.
Who can say for sure that the movie he shot will win an award if he participates in the three major film festivals?
All I have to do is work hard to make this film well, leaving no regrets," Zhang Qiurui said frankly.
Upon hearing this, Zou Wenhuai nodded and expressed his appreciation for Zhang Qiurui's honesty and pragmatism.
After a short contact, Zou Wenhuai became more and more appreciative and optimistic about Zhang Qiurui.
Despite her young age, she is not only calm, reserved and dignified, but also possesses extraordinary talent. What is even more commendable is her down-to-earth attitude without being arrogant or impatient.
"How do we cooperate? Director Zhang plans to sign a contract with our Golden Harvest? If Director Zhang signs a contract with our Golden Harvest, you can propose any salary conditions, and we will try our best to meet them." Zou Wenhuai asked tentatively.
"Forget about signing with Golden Harvest. We can make movies together. Let's start with this movie." Zhang Qiurui smiled and shook his head.
"How is the share calculated?" Zou Wenhuai didn't seem surprised to hear Zhang Qiurui's refusal, but a look of regret appeared on his face.
"I invested 280,000 yuan, and the director's salary was 20,000 yuan, which is 50%.
The remaining 50% will be shared between Jiahe and President Jiang." Zhang Qiurui had already figured everything out in his mind and presented his cooperation plan in a clear and logical manner.
