"Long Jichao, come here!"
Wu Changyun waved to Long Jichao to come over. To be honest, Long Jichao was completely stunned when he witnessed Wu Changyun's attack.
What the hell? Is this how business is done?
He asked the other party to sign the contract before he even explained his business clearly. This was not the way Long Jichao and his colleagues did business before. They always explained everything clearly one by one, and also stated what they were responsible for and what they were not, and only then did they let the other party sign the contract.
If they encounter someone who has no money, they will just give up or only provide a few people to help in order to reduce the amount of fees.
Wu Changyun is really good. Not only does he speak in an air of taking on too much, but when he meets someone who has no money, he also tries to find ways to provide them with installment payments. He is simply a money-squeezing machine.
"Boss, this isn't good."
Long Jichao leaned close to Wu Changyun's ear and whispered.
Wu Changyun ignored him. He had just been allocated 10 percentage points, and Cinema City's box office was at least in the millions, so he would make a lot of money no matter what.
"Come with me for a walk later and I will give you some guidance." Wu Changyun said.
"You guide?"
Long Jichao was a little confused. Normally, Wu Changyun would spend most of his time filming movies. Why did he suddenly talk about guidance, and in front of the clients? Wasn't he afraid of losing face?
"It's not very convenient now. After all, the brothers have just arrived. I plan to take them out for dinner or something."
Long Jichao evaded the question, saying that some people had indeed come for a field investigation today.
Although it is not a complete picture of the entire team, they are all core members, so it is not a bad idea to provide on-site teaching.
"In that case, all right then."
Wu Changyun had no choice but to agree. He was not very free anyway, as his new film co-produced with TVB was about to be released.
Speaking of this, there is a very interesting thing recently, that is, the actions of the cinema chains have changed recently. The two companies that were originally incompatible, namely the old rivals Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, have actually started to open their cinemas to each other.
Opening theaters to each other means that the two companies' films can be shown in each other's theaters. There must be a deal between them. Wu Changyun does not believe that either Golden Harvest or Shaw Brothers will give nearly 50% of the share to the other.
Maybe someday I can discuss it with Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, Wu Changyun thought it was interesting.
In fact, this also indirectly illustrates the current situation of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers. Golden Harvest seems to be okay, but because of its over-reliance on the development of actors, problems have now been exposed.
Just a few days ago, Golden Harvest started to spend huge amounts of money to promote Chan Kong-sang, saying that they wanted to make Chan Kong-sang an international movie star. One could still vaguely see the familiar title, which was "the second Bruce Lee."
When Wu Changyun saw this title, he felt regretful at first, because this path was not feasible.
If Golden Harvest insists on going its own way, it will only end up in failure.
Moreover, creating an international superstar is not that easy. It will burn through Golden Harvest's assets in minutes. Based on Wu Changyun's judgment, Golden Harvest definitely does not have such a strong financial foundation.
If there were no Qi Ji Film Company, Golden Harvest might still be considered big and strong, but now it can only be said to be at a well-off level.
Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers felt the pressure, not only from Qi Ji Film Company, but also because there were too many new companies recently, many of which were founded by actors who had some level of talent before.
It really does great harm to people. It would be a bit too much to say that this is betrayal.
Because these actors and screenwriters are indeed very talented, they shouldn't waste their time working for others in a company. This is the law of nature. Just being rich is far from enough in Hong Kong.
However, up to now, Wu Changyun has never come into contact with the real rich people in Hong Kong. There is no shortage of rich people in Hong Kong, but most of them will not show up in front of them.
In particular, Wu Changyun does not need investment, but there are many people watching him, always wanting to bring down the company and then get a share of the profits in the name of investors. This has become a common routine used by some capitals.
If you can't beat them, you can poach their employees and make them uncomfortable. You can engage in price wars, which means using the capital you have accumulated to wear down the opponent. If you encounter a more stubborn opponent, you can acquire it by offering a relatively reasonable price to acquire the company, and finally you will be the only one left standing.
To be honest, this trick is not only insidious, but also extremely unethical.
To sum it up in one sentence, an oligarch was born.
Meanwhile, Hua An, who had previously argued with Liu Yi about establishing a branch office, finally got his wish, though the price he paid was that Liu Yi would take away most of the profits. That afternoon, Zhang Jin finally arrived at the place they had agreed to meet with Hua An. It was a new office, smaller than their previous location, but it was a haven for the two of them.
There are still many old faces here. Because the cost of recruiting new people is too high, Liu Yi was very unkind and transferred some of the original employees directly to Huaan’s new company.
"I didn't expect Liu Yi to actually agree."
Zhang Jin was very happy because he no longer had to look at other people's faces, so later on, the people in the company were still very polite to him. But when he thought of how they were before, Zhang Jin also felt disgusted.
In fact, it’s not that everyone has any ill will towards Hua An and Zhang Jin. It’s just that Zhang Jin is too ignorant of himself.
Before, we were all colleagues, no one had any grudges against anyone, and there was no need to make things difficult for others.
But everyone was starting from the same starting line, and suddenly two people started to compete with each other without any bottom line. Zhang Jin and Hua An were really competing with each other.
Why do I say that? Shaw Brothers had a long history of making Category III films, but things were completely different with the version starring Hua An and Zhang Jin. Hua An actually had a pretty good reputation before, and the company was very friendly to him.
Zhang Jin has absolutely no self-awareness, and we can't blame him. What did Zhang Jin do before? It's already very difficult for him to make movies now. The saying "A dog will always eat shit" may sound harsh, but it is quite appropriate for Zhang Jin.
Many people are disgusted by filming things that show faces and are very bold and explicit, but Zhang Jin doesn't care at all. He is even used as an example by the company's senior management to educate their new actors.
What’s more important is that Zhang Jin personally shared his experience, which was truly disgusting. Those who had some good feelings towards Zhang Jin before no longer had any good feelings towards him after experiencing this incident.
Human beings have this kind of nature. Everyone is working together. If someone overtakes others by taking a sharp turn without any bottom line, he will definitely be attacked by everyone. There is no doubt about that.
