"Qingzi~~"

Bai Jie was smiling all over her face. She was a woman in her thirties, but she looked the same as she was in her twenties. She may have felt that she was still in her teenage years, but she actually picked up her skirt and trotted over, gave Zhang Qing a hug, and gave her two

Face-to-face gift.

The aroma hits your face, the kind of breathtaking fragrance.

Zhang Lan and the other little girls' eyes widened, while Zhao Qiang's face looked a little ugly, but she knew that this was a Western greeting gift and didn't say anything.

Zhang Qing behaved appropriately, nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Bai."

Bai Jie still wanted to say more, but Zhang Qing had already walked away and came forward to greet Bai Kezhi, Zhao Lin and his wife who came later, shaking hands and hugging.

"Director Bai, after the release of the three "Once Upon a Time" films, you have become the highest-grossing Chinese director in the world. Congratulations."

Zhang Qing said with a smile.

Bai Kezhi shook his head repeatedly and said: "The book is good, the story is good. The settings of the main characters are very clear, and the story stands up immediately. If you use another director..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Qing waved his hand and said: "If you change to any other movie, you definitely wouldn't be able to capture such a martial arts style. Director Bai, forget about "Once Upon a Time". After three movies, your status in the world has been completely established."

But for next year’s new film, the director should get a tiered share of the box office. A great director should be treated like a great director.”

Bai Kezhi was stunned when he heard this and looked at Zhang Qing in disbelief.

Taking a share of the box office is only done by Hollywood, but only a handful of super A-level directors are eligible.

Only A-level directors are eligible for the stepped box office share.

But that's Hollywood. If any A-level director in Hollywood comes over, a bunch of people will rush to kneel and lick him, because at least he has to direct a movie with a box office of over 100 million US dollars.

Bai Kezhi thinks he hasn't reached that level yet...

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "If you don't respect talents, you won't be able to become famous."

Zhao Lin looked at Zhang Qing and said, "Young Master Qing, thank you very much."

In terms of making movies, Bai Kezhi is better than her, but in terms of daily affairs, she is much more sophisticated than Bai Kezhi.

Although everyone knows that the possibility of another movie with a box office success like "Once Upon a Time" is extremely slim.

If the sharing clause cannot be triggered, you will not get the share.

But at least in name, Bai Kezhi is already a director who can get profits.

With Zhang Qing's current status in the film industry, with this opening, Bai Kezhi's status will rise to the sky in one step, completely establishing his reputation as the number one commercial director in the Chinese film industry!

Zhang Qing shook his head and said seriously: "Sister, I should be the one to thank you. I will leave the film and television department of Dujuan Culture to you. It is the highest honor of Dujuan Culture that I can get help from my sister."

Zhao Lin is also a veteran of the world, but she is still completely moved.

It's not that she's soft-hearted and easily coaxed, it's actually... Zhang Qing did hand over all the power of the film department to her.

She almost rose to the top in one step and became the most powerful queen in the Chinese film industry!

This scene also moved many people.

Especially Sun Kuohai, Yan Wu and others who came after hearing the news.

Many Hong Kong people were very lively after the meeting. Sun Kuohai stepped forward and said with a smile on his face: "Wow, Qingzi! You have such good taste. Sister Zhao is the most famous talented woman in the entire Hong Kong circle. The Seven Heroes of Xinyi City were famous in those days

Through Hong Kong Island, they are so powerful that even Joe's and Golden Harvest can't beat them. The first movie in Hong Kong Island with a box office of over 20 million was made by them. Sister Zhao is the only woman in the Seven Heroes, but even the other six

Everyone has to admit that without Ajie Zhao, they would not be able to perform well at all, at least not so smoothly."

Zhao Lin smiled and said: "Brother is really joking, I am just a little housekeeper... This courtyard is really nice and elegant!"

After all, it was Lao Jianghu who calmly changed the subject.

Sun Kuohai also looked at it and said: "I also bought a few courtyard houses in Pingjing... Qingzai, why don't you buy a bigger one and set up a club. From now on, when Hong Kong filmmakers come to Pingjing, who won't come to see them?

Why don't you build a club where you can entertain us?"

Said more seriously.

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Why do you want to meet me? If the movie can be filmed, it will be arranged naturally. If you can't film, it's useless to come see me. Sister Zhao can determine this standard."

Zhao Lin was startled, and quickly waved her hands and said: "I really can't make the decision on this...it will really kill people."

She knows better than anyone what forces dominate the Hong Kong film industry.

A superstar like Zhao Mingyu can be held at gunpoint while filming a movie. Li Qifa was signed for a year at a cabbage price because he was included in a club. How dare the Hongmen brothers ask for money when they help a big boss to film a movie?

If she had such power, those societies could tie up her whole family.

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "It is really inappropriate for one or two people to decide which films are eligible for co-production. It is better to form a film review committee, with people who really love movies, to review the scripts submitted from outside.

"

When Sun Kuohai, a man who loves power, heard these words, his eyes widened. He looked at Zhang Qing and said: "Qingzi, who can join the committee? Those who really love movies? I love movies very much..."

His senior fellow apprentices Yan Wu and Liu Biao on the side covered their faces, feeling that they couldn't see anyone, and there were still people who were so eager to catch up.

Sun Kuohai was not afraid, he patted his chest and raised his head and said: "I am the second person in Hong Kong who loves movies, who dares to say that I am the first? Almost all the bones in my body have been broken, and some have been broken several times. I am

I’m fighting for movies with my life! Qingzi, don’t I love movies enough?”

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Brother's sincerity in making movies is natural, so you are one of the review committee. In addition, Sister Zhao and Director Bai are also on the mainland. On the mainland, I, Sister Zhao, and our director Zhou

Director Cheng Zhou. There are six people in total. If an outside script wants to qualify for a co-production, it must first be reviewed by the film review committee. It only needs four votes and more than half. In addition, I have a veto power."

Sun Kuohai was already extremely happy. No one knew what this meant better than him.

With this power, coupled with the popularity of "Once Upon a Time" in the Hong Kong film industry, he, the big brother of Hong Kong Island, will reach a higher level!

Of course, he also appreciated Zhang Qing even more.

Rather than seizing on the qualifications for co-productions and becoming the target of public criticism, it is better to spread the reputation.

Moreover, not to mention the veto power, Zhang Qing has absolute say in this film review committee.

Even if others could handle the three Hong Kong Islanders, he, Bai Kezhi and Zhao Lin could not hold on to three votes, and the fourth vote would be impossible without Zhang Qing's nod.

However, at least it has given others hope that they will no longer focus all their firepower on Zhang Qing alone.

It can also be used to block criticism from the mainland.

At such a young age, it is not unworthy of his reputation, but he actually came up with the idea of ​​a committee. His future is truly limitless.

At noon, Zhang Qing grilled mutton skewers by himself in the courtyard, and a group of people sat under the grape trellis and chatted.

Bai Kezhi was more serious. He looked at Zhang Qing and said: "Qingzi, this kind of publicity method is not available in Hong Kong Island, and I have never heard of it in Hollywood. But Mr. Zhao called and said that Xu Zhong went to hundreds of stores

The theater box office has increased by tens of millions...is it true?"

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "Is it true or false? There is no basis for what you say. Director Bai should be able to intuitively understand it in the past two days."

Bai Kezhi looked at Zhang Qing, nodded and said, "It seems to be true."

Zhang Qing casually picked up a handful of spicy mutton skewers, handed them to Bai Kezhi and said, "Sister Zhao will invite you to Fengze Garden for a big dinner in the evening. You will have a simple lunch at noon."

Bai Kezhi said politely: "It is the most luxurious thing for a young man to cook by himself."

Sun Kuohai came over, moved a small mat and sat down, handed Zhang Qing the cumin powder, and then continued to talk about what happened just now: "Now in the Hong Kong film industry, the most powerful ones are the six cinema chains.

, Jiahe, Jinzhu, Xinbao, Yonggao, Jinsheng and Dongfang. Jinzhu, Jiahe is really old, Jiahe... Jiahe can still film, but after Jinzhu broke up in Xinyi City, she completely lost her heart

Jiner, you don’t need to think about it. Yonggao and Jinsheng were both too excited before. They wanted to please the Wanwan market, but they failed to please them and even lost it on the mainland, so forget it. So in general, it’s okay.

The three theater chains we cooperate with are Golden Harvest, Xinbao and Oriental. Behind Xinbao is Media Asia, and behind Oriental is China Star, plus Golden Harvest."

Zhang Qingdao: "Brother Kuo Hai, there are more than 100 film companies in Hong Kong Island, you can't just look at these three."

Sun Kuohai said more seriously: "Qingzi, of course I know how many film companies there are in Hong Kong Island, but to put it harshly, most of them are scammers. In the past few years, hot money from outside has been pouring into Hong Kong Island, and it was all started by individuals.

A brand dares to call itself a film company, rent a set of equipment and mess around with a book to make money. If you ask me, the death of Hong Kong film industry will be at the hands of these people. If we want to operate in a formal way, we must exclude these people.

Block them!"

Looking at Sun Kuohai who was gritting his teeth, Zhang Qing nodded and said: "These people... have indeed ruined the film culture in Hong Kong. But we alone can't ban them, right?"

Sun Kuohai sneered and said: "Actually, I have been thinking of ways to deal with this situation. Hong Kong Island movies are the life of us Hong Kong Island filmmakers. It is the honor that we are proud of all our lives. We cannot let those sluts ruin it. It's just that

I have been suffering from no choice for a long time. People just want to make money. You said there are more than 100 film companies now. Do you know that in 1993 and 1994, there were more than 300 film companies on Hong Kong Island? Rent a studio

Equipment, I just dared to shoot some nonsense and call it a movie, and it actually sold. But when I went back to show it, they were all cursed, and they were criticizing Hong Kong Island movies! In recent years, the overseas market for Hong Kong Island movies has become more and more popular.

It’s all the fault of these beasts for the recession!”

Bai Kezhi also shook his head and said: "In the past, it was okay for actors and screenwriters to switch careers and become directors. Later, even general managers and lighting directors were able to become directors. I knew that something would happen to Hong Kong movies if it continued like this."

Sun Kuohai said: "Before, there was really nothing we could do, but now that "Once Upon a Time" is hanging in front of us, I am not afraid that those people will not be tempted, and everyone is going crazy now! As long as we can hook the three major theater chains and get them to make a good movie together,

By making blockbusters, we can drive away bad movies! If the three major theater chains don't let those bad movies go, they can only go to the other three. By then, those three theaters will have to go bankrupt. In at most three years, we can drive out those black-hearted companies and make Hong Kong a better place.

The words of the island movie matter!"

At this moment, everyone else looked over, and Zhao Lin shook her head and said: "It's difficult. Jiahe, Xinbao, and Dongfang may not be willing to listen to us. The miracle of "Once Upon a Time" is also difficult to replicate."

Sun Kuohai said: "If you want to do something, you must be dedicated. Let's share our projects and take them to play together. You can see if they are willing."

Zhao Lin was surprised and said: "Brother Kuohai, are you willing to share your project?!"

Sun Kuohai sighed: "It's really hard to find a solution. Look at the top ten box office movies in Hong Kong in the 1970s and 1980s. How many Western movies were there? Let me tell you, there are none! But in the 1990s,

In the first ten years, there was more than one film a year, and last year almost half were Western films. If we don’t reflect seriously, Hong Kong movies will really be finished!

Hong Kong Island filmmakers only look at their own territory and do not open their eyes to look outside. It is almost completely occupied by Hollywood. There is almost only one island left in Hollywood in the East, and it is only a matter of time before it is breached. As for me, I was originally

I can’t control so much. Only Amitabha can keep the Sun family alive. Who can be the savior? Later, my uncle Liu talked to me twice and made me think that I should stand up and do something for Hong Kong movies. Qing Zai

A mainlander who is still so young and has never experienced our era has this intention. How can I remain indifferent?

With Uncle Liu, me, Qingzi...and you, I believe we can make some differences!!"

Zhang Qing slowly turned over the mutton skewers in his hand and nodded: "No problem, each company's project can be taken out and invested and filmed together. As long as ten high-quality blockbusters can be produced in a year, it will be better than one

A bad movie will make a hundred times more money."

He is about to build hundreds of theaters, and it cannot be supported by just one company with so many film sources.

Letting these film companies make movies together is the best solution.

Furthermore, share two projects first and make a lot of money before you can start investing in their theater chain...

According to the course of history, the golden age of theater chains is about to come.

…

At night.

In the study, Zhao Qiang, who came back from the outside still smelling of alcohol, looked at Zhang Qing and said calmly: "Sun Kuohai is very ambitious. He proposed this because he wanted to be the first person in Hong Kong movies.

I want to be a real big brother in the film industry."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "I know. We cannot hold on to the unique gold medal of co-production qualifications for too long, and it will not exceed five years at most. In these five years, if Sun Kuohai can bring Hong Kong movies to their original source and clarify the atmosphere,

His contribution will be recorded in the history of Hong Kong films. Five years later, his status will not be affected whether or not we are there. Of course, we cannot deny that he really wants to do something for Hong Kong films."

Zhao Qiang reminded: "We are just the objects he uses."

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "That's because he doesn't know what kind of career the person he is using is doing. In the final analysis, his eyes still only stay on Hong Kong Island. He is an old Jianghu, and he can see clearly that "Once Upon a Time"

"" was just an accident in the mainland market, so his focus is still on Hong Kong Island. Perhaps he is waiting for Hong Kong Island's movies to improve before exploring other places and regaining lost ground. This is where he made a miscalculation.

When we build theater chains in the mainland and theater chains in Nanyang, even if we no longer have the exclusive qualification to co-produce films, we will still be the ones talking about Chinese-language films because we hold the largest distribution rights! I firmly believe that the mainland market

, will definitely surpass Hong Kong Island.

Therefore, this cooperation is at most mutual use and mutual benefit. Sister Zhao, don’t worry, I know it well.”

Zhao Qiang looked at Zhang Qing, who had the pearl of wisdom in his hand, and suddenly laughed, saying: "You are really a cunning little fox. They are still taking advantage of your youth, thinking it is easy to deceive..."

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "How can I be so easy to deceive?"

Zhao Qiang raised her lips and smiled: "If it weren't for this, how could Bai Jie hug and kiss you when she met you?"

Zhang Qing said helplessly: "Isn't that normal social etiquette? Hey, Sister Zhao has been in Hong Kong Island for a long time, doesn't she know this?"

Zhao Qiang raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course I don't know how! What, you want to teach me?"

Zhang Qing: "..."
