082【Happy Cooperation】
At seven o'clock in the evening, Xia Tian brought Chen Yixin to Fulinmen Shark Fin Seafood Restaurant.
This restaurant is the top Cantonese restaurant in Hong Kong and one of the most well-known restaurants. It can be reported almost every day. Because all the customers who come here are not rich or noble, there are reporters staying at the door for many years.
When they came by car, they saw reporters guarding there. However, both of them are unknown people now, so naturally they won’t be able to photograph them.
Xia Tian led Chen Yixin into the restaurant, and then, under the guidance of the waiter, came to the private room booked by Jiuwenlong.
"Mr. Xia, it's been a long time since I saw you." As soon as I entered the door, Jiuwenlong said with a smile.
"Brother Long, you'll be polite, just call me A Tian." Xia Tian smiled. He had a pretty good impression of the Jiuwenlong, and knew that he was a person who knew how to behave.
When they met before, Xia Tian was still an unknown servant, and was a person who worked for Buck Ya Bing. So at that time, Jiuwenlong called him A Tian.
However, Xia Tian’s identity is different now. After all, he is also the president of a magazine, so he called Xia Tian “Mr. Xia”. Although it is just a simple name, it also shows his respect for Xia Tian.
Buck teeth Bing is far inferior to him at this point, and he is still "A Tian". He shouted in a high tone, as if Xia Tian was still doing things for him.
"Then why am I so embarrassed? Mr. Xia, you are different from the past. You can actually start a magazine with Mr. Cha. It's beyond our reach." Jiuwenlong smiled and said, "In this way, I'll call you Brother Xia in the future."
Xia Tian smiled. This nine-patterned dragon is really good at climbing along the pole. If he is not careful, he will become his younger brother.
"Come on, Brother Xia, please sit first, let's wait a little longer." Jiuwenlong greeted with a smile.
Xia Tian's heart skipped a beat. I don't know who Jiuwenlong invited. "It's not his boss, right?" he muttered in his heart.
"Brother Xia has been running a magazine that has been very popular recently. Even our brothers like to read it very much." Jiuwenlong said with no words.
"Is that true, thank you for your support." Xia Tian also said casually.
The two talked indifferently for ten minutes. At this time, a muffled sound suddenly sounded, and then a gentle man wearing glasses and dressed up his hair, walked in.
The two big men following him stood on both sides of the box, and Jiuwenlong immediately met him, "Brother Sheng, you are here."
When Xia Tian saw this person, he felt familiar. He heard the name Jiuwenlong again, and he immediately remembered, "Isn't this Xiang Huasheng, one of the bosses of Yongsheng Film Company?"
The reason why he recognized him was because when Xiang Huasheng died in his previous life, a website entertainment version gave him a special report, which was exactly the same as the person in front of him now.
"This is Mr. Xia. He is so young and promising. He admires it." Xiang Huasheng nodded to Jiuwenlong, then took a few steps to Xia Tian and said.
"Hello, Mr. Xiang." Xia Tian had already stood up with Chen Yixin.
Xiang Huasheng was slightly stunned when he saw Xia Tian recognize him, and his smile still remained. "Mr. Xia, he has such a good eye. It seems that I don't need to introduce myself."
Xia Tian also smiled.
"By the way. This little brother is." Xiang Huasheng looked at Chen Yixin again and said.
"This is my good brother, Chen Yixin." Xia Tian introduced.
"Well, it's true that he is a handsome talent." Xiang Huasheng nodded, shook hands affectionately with Chen Yixin, and then smiled and greeted, "Sit, sit, everyone sit."
After everyone sat down, the wine and food were served quickly. All of them were delicious.
Fulinmen Seafood Restaurant is a top Cantonese restaurant in Hong Kong, and especially seafood cooking is quite authentic. Therefore, those celebrities, wealthy businessmen, and film and television superstars are willing to come here to have a feast at the risk of being photographed by reporters.
This is the first time Xia Tian and Chen Yixin have come here. After tasting these delicious dishes, my tongue almost swallowed them.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Xiang Huasheng smiled and said to Xia Tian, "Mr. Xia, I have long admired your name and know that you are very good at film and television. I also have a film and television company, and I don't know if I can cooperate with you."
Xia Tian smiled and knew that it was not easy to eat today. Sure enough, he made a request now.
Promise to cooperate with him. He is the leading brother of the old Yian. Working with him is like trying to get a skin to a tiger. If you are not careful, you may be swallowed up in one bite.
Xia Tian dared to cooperate with Buck Ya Bing because he was weak and could not suppress himself at all, so Xia Tian left if he wanted to, and didn't have to care about him at all.
But the strength of the old Yian is much stronger than that of the buck-fang Bing. If the buck-fang Bing is a stumbling block, Xia Tian can move him away if he doesn't like him. Then the old Yian is a mountain. Even if Xia Tian uses Yugong's energy to move the mountain, with his current strength, he will not be able to move others.
So Xia Tian was very worried and did not want to cooperate with Xiang Huasheng. What's more, he would be able to make enough money in two or three months. At that time, he would film and be his own boss. Why do he have to work for others or work for others?
But if you don’t agree, you don’t know what the consequences will be. After all, he is the leader of the old Yian. If he is a tough guy, he really can’t stand it.
"I don't know how Mr. Xiang plans to cooperate," Xia Tian pondered for a moment and asked with a smile.
"It would be best if Mr. Xia could do his job personally and direct a movie for our company. If I really couldn't take time, I heard that Mr. Xia's script was written well, and even Hong Jingbao and Cheng Long praised it. I wonder if I could write one for us," Xiang Huasheng said with a smile.
Xia Tian was stunned. Although it was not a secret that he helped Hong Jingbao and Cheng Long write the script, not many people knew about it. Unexpectedly, Xiang Huaqiang could know that it seemed that he had done a detailed investigation before treating him to dinner.
Xiang Huasheng looked surprised when he saw Xia Tian's face and couldn't help but smile. Before he invited Xia Tian to dinner today, he had indeed conducted a detailed investigation of Xia Tian.
Because Xiang Huaqiang is cautious, he likes to plan and then act, and believes that only by knowing oneself and the enemy can he win every battle. In the old Yi'an, he always served as a military advisor, and even investing in and establishing Yongsheng Film Company was his idea.
After some investigation, he realized that Xia Tian was a talented person. He could sell C-level movies for one million yuan when making movies; even Hong Jingbao and Cheng Long were competing to recruit them; even Jin Yong and Jin Daxia praised them.
Of course, he hopes to be able to use such talents for himself, so he personally took action today, hoping to show his sincerity.
"I don't know how to calculate the reward." Xia Tian was stunned for a moment and asked with a smile.
If the price is reasonable, it is certainly okay to help them write a script. This kind of money is useless if it doesn’t make money. But if it’s just a movie, it’s fine. If it’s a tired few months, it’s just a hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars, and it’s not worth it at all.
"We will never be stingy in terms of rewards. If we direct a movie, the salary will be 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, and 10% of the Hong Kong box office." Xiang Huasheng smiled, "If it is a script, give it 100,000 Hong Kong dollars first. If the box office is sold well, there will be another big bonus."
When Xia Tian heard him say this, he immediately took a breath of cold air. Xiang Huasheng's condition was not bad.
The director fee of 200,000 is fine, but the key is that 10% of the dividends in Hong Kong box office are really tempting. If you shoot a movie with a box office of over 30 million, then you can get three million yuan in popularity.
When I think of this, Xia Tian's breathing becomes rapid.
"Mr. Xia, what do you mean?" Xiang Huasheng knew that Xia Tian was breathing heavily, and he couldn't help but smiled proudly.
"Mr. Xiang, is there really a 10% share of the Hong Kong box office?" Xia Tian calmed down and asked with a breath.
"Of course, I keep my word to someone." Xiang Huasheng nodded and said affirmatively, "Mr. Xia, don't have any concerns just because I am from Old Yian."
"Actually, everyone in the world knows that our old Yian has always been the most fair in doing things. I also know that Mr. Xia had unpleasant experiences when he worked with Buck Ya Bing before. But please rest assured that our old Yian is not so bad. I dare to assure you someone." Xiang Huasheng said solemnly.
After hearing what he said, Xia Tian felt a little relieved.
He also knew that Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng brothers had a bad background, but their reputation in the Hong Kong entertainment industry was still quite good. Many film and television superstars and well-known directors have cooperated with them. For example, Zhou Runfa, Liu Dehua, Zhou Xingchi, Wang Jing, etc., I have never heard of rumors that they have defaulted on their pay and bullying the weak.
However, the tiger that eats vegetarian food is still a tiger. Who knows when it will become greedy and will switch to meat?
Xia Tian was hesitant for a moment, wanting to make big money early, but also worried about danger. After pondering for a while, he suddenly slapped the table and said, "Forget it, people die, birds are facing the sky, and they will never die for thousands of years. This time I will fight for it."
"Okay, I hope to keep my word to you. I promised to cooperate with you." He said in a decisive tone.
If you have to save enough money with your own abilities, you will probably have to wait three months. But now there is a good opportunity to make money, and Xia Tian really doesn't want to miss it.
Besides, the worst result is that I can’t get 10% of the box office dividends, but I can still earn at least 200,000 Hong Kong dollars in director fees. Moreover, if the box office is so popular, it will greatly improve my fame.
"Why not do something that is good for me?" Xia Tian said to himself.
"Okay, Mr. Xia is really happy." Xiang Huasheng smiled slightly and stretched out his hand and said, "Let's swear to high-fives, and cooperate happily."
"Good" Xia Tian also stretched out his hand and slapped Xiang Huasheng three times. "Happy cooperation" will not be continued.
