Chapter 208: Just Talking About Business (Fifth Update!Asking for Subscriptions!Asking for Monthly Passes!)

Yin Jun didn't expect that Shao Yifu would be so unrelenting. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Waiting until the next day, Shao Yifu was okay again, and invited Yin Jun out for coffee.

After pondering for a while, Yin Jun agreed, and took a taxi to the Peninsula Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui in the afternoon.

It's funny to say that the two are at the TVB headquarters and Marconi Road nearby, but if they want to talk about things, they have to travel through the whole of Kowloon together to the hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Needless to say, the Peninsula Hotel is famous, as almost everyone who has been to Xiangjiang has seen this hotel - just on the way to the Star Ferry, the hotel with a huge fountain is.

Oh, by the way, it's '78 and that huge fountain hasn't been built yet.

Including the new hotel building with 30 floors behind it, it had to be built in 94, and now there is still only a low "mouth" character missing the horizontal semi-circular building on the top, and its logo is still on the side, and the surrounding area is somewhat bare, far from the close buildings like later generations.

When it comes to the Star Ferry, the most important cheap means of transportation for the Xiangjiang people, it is actually quite interesting, now the price of the upper class is 2 milli5, and the lower level is 2 millimeters, in 66 years, because they want to increase the price of 5 cents, the Xiangjiang people also broke out a demonstration.

In today's terms, it's not a question of money or not, it's a matter of habit and dignity.

The Peninsula Hotel in Xiangjiang was opened in 1928, in fact, its parent company, Xiangjiang Huhai Hotel Co., Ltd., first opened a hotel in Shanghai, and Xiangjiang opened later.

It's just that the British-funded group retreated in a hurry and couldn't deal with the assets of Huhai, so in the end it could only retain this piece of Peninsula Hotel in Xiangjiang.

It was not until after the 80s, as Xiangjiang's economy continued to improve, that the hotel group continued to expand, and even returned to Shanghai to build the Peninsula Hotel, returning to the place where it first started.

However, The Peninsula has a very good tradition of keeping it alive and not changing anything other than the necessary updates and refurbishments of old facilities.

78 years to the interior of the Peninsula Hotel to see what they are like, 2020 to go, the same.

Chairs, dishes, cutlery, chandeliers, carpets...... It's all the same as it was a few decades ago, except that a new batch will be added every once in a while.

This has a strong nostalgic atmosphere, but it doesn't feel shabby, but it feels warm as always.

And the Peninsula Hotel has a very strong British style, and many British people like to come here to reminisce about their time in their home country.

And because when Shao Yifu came to Xiangjiang in the 50s, Xiangjiang was still very desolate, and it was rare to have such a good place as the Peninsula Hotel, so he came to the Peninsula Hotel for afternoon tea whenever he was free.

At that time, Lu Yuntao, the owner of Denmao and the son of the richest man in Singapore, also liked to have afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel, so that the owners of the two most famous film companies in Xiangjiang came, and those stars didn't all follow suit?

Therefore, over time, the café of The Peninsula Hotel has become a favorite place for Hong Kong celebrities.

Driven by the stars, ordinary gold-collar workers also think that the grade here is quite high, so they also want to come here to sit down.

As a result, after the 80s, many people who wanted to go to the café of The Peninsula had to stand in the corridor and wait for the person in front of them to leave.

There is an exception, and that is that guests staying at The Peninsula Hotel can enter the café whenever and wherever they want.

Naturally, Shao Yifu couldn't stand there and wait, so he had a long-term private room at the Peninsula Hotel and wouldn't go to stay, but with this qualification, he wouldn't wait for a seat at any time he went to the café.

In the future, there will be many big stars and rich people, and they will all do the same thing as Shao Yifu.

However, the Peninsula Hotel house is not cheap, a room is now at least more than 200 a day, the monthly package is 5,000 upwards, and the annual salary is as high as about 50,000, compared to the monthly salary of about 900 for Xiangjiang people, it is really a waste of luxury.

Yin Jun hates this kind of waste, so the place he often goes to is Xingji Tea Restaurant, you can call Brother Xing in advance, and eating and drinking a lot of money is not expensive, why do you want to come here to pay attention to what style?

In his past and present lives, Yin Jun entered the Peninsula Hotel for the first time and entered its café.

In his previous life, because he had no money, Yin Jun lived in the Mirado Building near the Peninsula Hotel, more than 200 a day, although they were all small houses converted from apartments, they were also all complete.

In this life, Yin Jun felt that it was not necessary.

When money is scarce, the most important thing is to use it where it should be used.

Yin Jun except for some necessary expenses, he rarely spends money on enjoyment, this is not that Yin Jun treats himself badly, but at the age of 16, if he starts to think about enjoyment, how can he work hard to make a career?

Anyone who likes to enjoy himself at a young age is certainly not very productive.

Yin Jun reported Shao Yifu's name, and naturally a waiter took Yin Jun to Shao Yifu's table.

Shao Yifu was drinking British black tea, reading the newspaper slowly, in addition to the black teapot, there was a plate of dim sum in front of him, and there was nothing else.

Yin Jun didn't care, he poured himself a cup of tea, sat down and ate two pieces of dim sum, and then asked Shao Yifu: "Mr. Shao, if you come to me, won't you let me appreciate your heroic posture in reading the newspaper, and then go back to help you publicize how calm you are in the face of the crisis, right?"

"Where did I come from the crisis?" Shao Yifu put away the newspaper and said with a smile: "Yesterday, my "Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Gala" was a big hit, and many record companies called overnight, saying that they would cooperate with wireless and give us more singer resources so that we can use them, and I am happy!"

"You're so happy, I thought there was an awards party every day. Yin Jun said seriously.

"Speaking of which, why are you so stingy?" Shao Yifu shrugged and said, "I'll be honest with you, I really want a good variety show, and I can't afford the price, 1 million is okay?"

Yin Jun looked at him with disdain, "Asahi TV gave "Millionaire" 10 million in the first year, what do you think you are 1 million?"

"1 million is not good, 2 million, 3 million is fine!" Shao Yifu didn't care about Yin Jun's words, "Or let's just share it?"

"Forget it, I don't want you to overwhelm my "Millionaire" on variety shows. Yin Jun said, "Mr. Shao, just hurry up, what do you want to do when you come to me today?"

Yin Jun didn't believe that Shao Yifu was such a smart person, and he would talk about it again when he had already explicitly refused.

Looking for himself today, he must be looking for something else.

Seeing Yin Jun say this, Shao Yifu sighed, "Junzai, you are also too young, why are you so impetuous? Okay, my old man will not delay your young man's time, I came to you today for two things." First, our Shaw Brothers Films want to make a "Chu Liuxiang", how to calculate the price?"

Yin Junyi frowned, "You have already invited the autumn official?"

"Not bad. Shao Yifu was not surprised that Yin Jun was so smart, "When he comes back from the UK, our movie will be ready to start, and now it's your authorization that is missing." ”

While speaking, Shao Yifu couldn't hide his appreciation for Yin Jun.

This young man is really too old and spicy to do things, not only bought the adaptation copyright of "Chu Liuxiang", but also directly bought the Xiangjiang film and television copyright of "Chu Liuxiang", which is not only very confident in his vision, but also thinks far-reaching, and knows what is called a chain reaction.

In the past, some people laughed that Yin Jun had money and no place to spend it, and 1 million bought the film and television adaptation copyright of "Chu Liuxiang", "Peerless Shuangjiao", "Xiao Li Flying Knife" and Lu Xiaofeng's 5 years in the Xiangjiang area, Gu Long's novel adaptation copyright, can it be so expensive?

But now no one can laugh out.

A "Chu Liuxiang" made Yin Jun earn nearly 6 million, and the rest of the copyrights were not used, so he made so much money, except for Yin Jun, there is really no second person who can do it.

Now because of the popularity of "Chu Liuxiang", Shao Yifu came to the door again, and if he wanted to make a movie of "Chu Liuxiang", he could only ask Yin Jun to buy the copyright.

You said that if it were those small film companies, they wouldn't have to buy the copyright for Yin Jun, anyway, after the filming started and the release was released, they would break up directly, and Yin Jun had no way to find someone to settle accounts.

The theater owners don't care if your movie has been authorized or not, anyway, they collect money for the show.

Shaw Brothers Pictures didn't dare to do this, their family has a big business, if they do this, how will they gain a foothold in the industry in the future?

So even if he is such a stingy person as Shao Yifu, he will directly ask Yin Jun to buy authorization.

He was also very confident that Yin Jun would agree.

Because even if Yin Jun is very wary of wireless TVB, but this time it is a movie, and the film market is different from the TV drama market, and it is not next to each other at all.

Zheng Shaoqiu's side is very easy to handle.

After filming "Chu Liuxiang", the sequel will not be filmed until the second half of this year, Zheng Shaoqiu has been very busy for the past two years, and he feels that it is quite good to have such a rare break for half a year, so he went to the UK with Feifei before the Spring Festival, and now he has not returned.

Anyway, Zheng Shaoqiu still has a high basic salary in the past six months, and there are still a lot of advertising and endorsement businesses to do, so he won't have much to do.

Shao Yifu asked him to make a movie, Zheng Shaoqiu naturally has nothing to do, he can get more than 100,000 yuan in a month of hard work, who wouldn't want to?

Yin Jun pondered for a while.

After the popularity of the "Chu Liuxiang" TV series in the previous life, Shaw Brothers Pictures did find Zheng Shaoqiu to make a movie version of "Chu Liuxiang", but the box office was not outstanding.

But in the Nanyang region, this movie sold very well, and countless Chu Xiangshuai fans were looking forward to it, and they contributed a lot to Shao Yifu's box office, making the movie "Chu Liuxiang" earn tens of millions.

"I sell scripts and licenses now, all in the form of reserve price plus dividends. Yin Jun said, "If Mr. Shao wants to buy the license, I want 1 million and 10% profit dividends." ”

"Can you be a little bigger?" Shao Yifu was simply dumbfounded, "This is not your script! This is just for you to authorize me, the script, personnel, etc., are all provided by my Shaw Brothers, you don't have to make any effort!"

"But that's the way it is, without my authorization, you can't take advantage of this shareholder wind. Yin Jun said innocently, "Mr. Shao, you eat meat, so let me drink a mouthful of soup with you!"

"You ......"

Shao Yifu finally resisted the urge to scold, "I'll give you 500,000, and there will be nothing at the box office!"

"That's not going to work. Yin Jun blinked his eyes and looked at him very gently: "Mr. Shao, let's talk about the next one!"

"600,000!" Shao Yifu took a deep breath and quoted the second price.

"We'll talk about that later. ”

"1 million!" Shao Yifu glared at Yin Jun and said, "But you have to promise me one condition, except for me, within half a year, there can be no second film authorization for "Chu Liuxiang". ”

"Deal!" Yin Jun nodded cleanly, "Now let's talk about the second business!"

Seeing him so simply, Shao Yifu could only take a sip of tea to relieve the anger in his heart a little, and then he had the heart to talk about the second business.

Thinking that Yin Jun was so difficult, Shao Yifu really had a bit of a headache.

It's been a long time since he's been under control, and the original traitor Li Hanxiang is so powerful, didn't he come back in three or five years?

Although Jiahe is powerful, but after Li Xiaolong passed away, they are the Xu brothers who are supporting, in terms of overall strength, where can they compare to the Shaw Family?

In the past few years, Shao Yifu has been smooth sailing, but he has been deflated in Yin Jun's hands, and he can't help him, and now he has to do business with him and send him money, do you say Shao Yifu is greasy?

"The second is also about the authorization of Gu Long's novels. Shao Yifu said, "We are going to shoot a TV series of "The Peerless Twins", what do you think of the licensing fee of 100,000?"

"Good!"

"Inappropriate words......" Shao Yifu stopped abruptly and looked at Yin Jun in surprise: "You don't raise the price?"

"You don't want me to write a script, what do I want to do with so much money?" Yin Jun spread his hands and said, "Mr. Shao, I have always been very kind in business, and we are also friends, the price of 100,000 yuan should be regarded as my support for wireless!"

The ghost is friends with you!

Shao Yifu gritted his teeth a little in his heart.

And you dare to say that you are kind?

It's a pig that is going to laugh!

Who doesn't know that you, Yin Jun, are notoriously greedy for money?

A TV series dares to pay dividends and earn millions, such a person is still called kind?

After a while's face was cloudy and uncertain, Shao Yifu suddenly asked: "Junzai, you agreed so directly, do you think that the TV series produced by our wireless still can't beat your TV series, so you are cheap to license it to wireless?"

"Not really. Yin Jun laughed, "Whether you believe it or not, Mr. Shao, I hope that wireless can be more powerful, so that it can have better competition with Jiashi." Otherwise, after two or three years, wireless will no longer be the first in Xiangjiang, so how lonely it should be to be invincible!"

Shao Yifu laughed, "You are really blind and arrogant, do you think Jiashi and wireless can fight all the time? The longer the time drags on, the more your advantages will be neutralized, and the powerful heritage of wireless will definitely be able to take the latecom and defeat you!"

"It's a pity that I'm going to give Jiashi another 3 to 5 scripts this year, which should be enough for them. Yin Jun said in a harmonious voice: "Next year will be the same, and the year after next year will be too." I hope to really see Wireless compete with Jiashi for ratings, otherwise, can Wireless still guarantee the current morale?"

"Junzai, I don't understand, why do you want to stick to Jiashi?" Shao Yifu sighed and said: "What Jiashi can give you, wireless will definitely be able to give you, and I can give you more, why don't you consider wireless? The actors and producers of wireless are not only a cut above the grade of Jiashi! Don't you want a better TV series to be produced?"

"I believe that when there is an enemy, Mr. Shao, you are very eager for talent. Yin Jun said, "But looking at your attitude towards Shaw Brothers stars after the collapse of Dianmao, I believe that once there is no opponent in the TV industry, you will definitely be able to do it." For the sake of my future, I think Jiashi is still a little more suitable for me. ”

Being slapped in the face of someone, Shao Yifu felt very bad.

But he had nothing to say about Yin Jun's words, because he was originally such a character.

If Jiashi and Li's go bankrupt, a genius like Yin Jun is nothing, either take a salary cut and stay, or get out!

But what Shao Yifu didn't expect was that Yin Jun was not moved by the immediate interests at all, and all he thought about was three or five years later, which was not done by a young man.

Back then, he poached so many big stars, all of them relied on high prices to dig them up first, and then after the opponent was finished, he immediately squeezed the value of the stars significantly, desperately trying to earn back the previous money.

Lin Dai and other superstars chose to commit suicide, which cannot but be said to be related to Shao Yifu's high pressure.

If it weren't for such intense work, these stars would not have been mentally ill to the point where they could not be saved.

However, to be honest, at that time, those superstars were all moved by Shao Yifu's money, and never thought about what would happen in the future.

It can't be said that they are too stupid, it can only be said that the current Yin Jun is too smart compared to them, and he knows how to be prepared for danger in times of peace.

With such an opponent, Shao Yifu was vaguely worried in his heart.

But the next moment, Shao Yifu became firm.

Hmph, Shaw Brothers and Wireless were both built by me, such a powerful film company and TV station, can't you help a newcomer like you?

Wait!

When I defeat all my opponents, I'll see how arrogant you will be!!(To be continued.) )
