Chapter 61: Golden Harvest's Visit (Part II)
Originally, Cai Yongchang planned to chat with Yin Jun for a while, and slowly deepen his understanding before making a request. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing Yin Jun's simple house and such an indifferent attitude, he knew that there was no way to deal with Yin Jun with the method of dealing with ordinary people.
It's better to go straight in and negotiate with Yin Jun openly, which is beneficial.
Yin Jun was not surprised when he heard this.
Cai Yongchang, such a well-organized person, actually came over to wait for him, obviously he had something to ask for.
From the beginning of his "Seven Days of Wrong Expression", Yin Jun vaguely knew that he might have come for the script, otherwise where would he need the deputy general manager of Golden Harvest to personally dispatch?
Although the current Golden Harvest is not the first film company in Xiangjiang that will dominate the rivers and lakes in the future, so far, before the emergence of Xinyicheng and Yongsheng, it is one of the two walls of the Xiangjiang film industry, and the other is the dying Shaw Brothers films.
"The last time I wrote "Seven Days of Love", it was actually an accident, and it was also a combination of some of my experiences as a teacher in the mainland, plus some feelings about watching TV and movies after coming to Xiangjiang. Yin Jun had his own plans, and said with a smile when he heard this, "The same is true for this "Bao Qingtian", if I didn't happen to meet Brother Wei and listen to him sing "The Case of Quanmei", my script of "Bao Qingtian" would not have been inspired!"
Yin Jun didn't mean to hide his identity, so he didn't sign his real name, but during that time, he needed more time to do his memory consolidation work, if he became famous too early, it would be like now, with bigwigs like Cai Yongchang coming to visit and negotiate, he would not have the most important memory consolidation time.
It doesn't matter now, it's been five or six months since I came to Xiangjiang, and most of the memories that should be done are almost done, and I can start to lay out my own film and television road.
Cai Yongchang smiled, "Usually great works come from a flash of inspiration. The difference between geniuses and ordinary people is that ordinary people pass by in a flash, but geniuses can seize this fleeting opportunity and express it in various forms. After watching "Seven Days of Wrong Love" and "Bao Qingtian", I believe that few people can believe that they were actually written by a 16-year-old boy!"
He tried his best to praise it, ignoring Yin Jun's faint excuse just now.
"Golden Harvest now has a lot of actors, all of whom are good actors, but we lack some good scripts. Cai Yongchang said eloquently: "It can be seen from "Seven Days of Wrong Love" that a good script can make a good movie. This is something we have overlooked before, but it is not too late to wake up now. Among our actors, there is a man named Hong Jinbao, who is Master Yu's apprentice, a native of Seven Little Blessings, and has some resemblance to Mr. Wei Xiaofan. This time, I came over to ask Ah Jun to contact him first, and then like creating "Bao Qingtian" for Mr. Wei Xiaofan, according to the characteristics of Hong Jinbao, a good script was tailored for him.
As for the price, everything is easy to say, Golden Harvest wants the best script, and doesn't care about money. Your cooperation with Ah Jun is just the beginning, if there are good achievements, then we will definitely be able to cooperate very happily in the future! I think you also know that we Jiahe are not misers like Shaw Brothers!"
In July, Hung Jinbao had a "Fat Dragon Crossing the River" released, and two weeks later, the result was a little more than 1.66 million, which is already a relatively conspicuous achievement in today's Xiangjiang film industry.
But in the eyes of Golden Harvest, Hong Jinbao's ability and potential are far more than that, so they want to support Hong Jinbao more.
When it came to the last paragraph, Cai Yongchang was full of pride.
But Yin Jun smiled in his heart.
Golden Harvest is indeed not a miser like Shaw Brothers, but it is not much better.
Let's take the Hong Jinbao mentioned by Cai Yongchang just now.
At the beginning, Hong Jinbao had no filming for a little time, and he couldn't even afford to eat, and a group of brothers under his hand also had to eat, so he went to the familiar He Guanchang to borrow money.
He Guanchang was very happy, directly gave him 4,000 yuan, and instructed the finance to pay Hong Jinbao 4,000 yuan every month.
You must know that Hong Jinbao didn't even sign a contract with Golden Harvest at this time, and he originally came to borrow money, but he never thought that He Guanchang would send him 4,000 yuan a month without thinking about it!
At that time, the average salary of Xiangjiang people was only five or six hundred a month!
He Guanchang was so generous, he really moved Hong Jinbao so much that he didn't know what to say, and when he got a little better, he immediately took the Hong family class to Jiahe, and loyally fought for Jiahe.
Before Cheng Long did not monopolize the resources of Golden Harvest, around 79-85, Hong Jinbao was also a super general of Golden Harvest Company, which not only made a name for himself, but also made Golden Harvest a lot of money.
Speaking of a "Five Lucky Stars" series directed and acted by Hung Jinbao, since its birth, it has been a strong contender for the box office championship, either the first or second of the year.
Later, because several leading actors had various problems, the "Five Lucky Stars" series was filmed after a few episodes and was not filmed again, which was unfortunately disbanded.
In fact, the "Five Lucky Stars" series, like Cheng Long's movies, looks like it is full of jokes and action fights after 40 years, and it is not the pinnacle of Hung Jinbao.
However, why did Hung Jinbao take refuge in Pan Disheng around 84 and founded Debao Film Company with him?
It's simple.
Golden Harvest didn't dare to do box office tricks in Xiangjiang, and truthfully gave Hung Jinbao box office dividends, but it was different in other cities.
For two or three years, Hong Jinbao didn't have a penny of dividends from other cities, but obviously his movies were very popular.
He strangely went to check the accounts, and found that Golden Harvest sold all the foreign copyrights of his movies to an unfamiliar company for 1 yuan, and this company negotiated with the foreign distribution company.
Yes.
You read that right.
It's only 1 buck!
Obviously, the company that bought the copyright for this dollar is Golden Harvest's shell company, and all the large income has been taken away by Golden Harvest, and Hong Jinbao can't get a penny.
In this case, how can you be happy that your name is Hong Jinbao? If you don't get angry on the spot, he is very self-contained.
In addition, at that time, Jiahe's resources were constantly tilted towards Cheng Long, so as soon as Pan Disheng recruited him, Hong Jinbao jumped ship without looking back.
Of course, Hong Jinbao's luck is not very good, after Pan Gongzi hugged the beauty, he didn't have much interest in the film industry, Debao collapsed in less than ten years, and then returned to Golden Harvest Hong Jinbao, since then faded out of the line, regrettably there is no peak.
