Chapter 560: An Elderly Family Is Like a Treasure
"What's the matter with you? You're so sad, others think you, I'm dead!"
A middle-aged man who is one ton fatter than Wang Jing taught his son a lesson.
Wang Jing hasn't made much money yet, and he is basically still struggling with his old age, so he didn't move out, but chose to live with his father, mother, aunt and four younger sisters.
After a series of struggles, Wang Tianlin has become one of TVB's top gold-medal supervisors in the past few years, and he can earn a lot of money, so he changed his house a long time ago and bought a second-hand small villa in Beacon Hill.
But such a small villa of less than 2,000 square feet lived in nine members of the Wang family... Well, Fatty Wang is already married, and with two servants, it seems a bit crowded.
So last time Wang Jing earned 1.16 million Hong Kong dollars before tax, he was thinking about changing his family to a bigger house.
It doesn't need to be far away, it's just on the Bijia Mountain side, after all, I'm familiar with it after living here for a long time.
At that time, let his parents, aunt and younger sisters move to the big house together, and he and his wife will live in this small villa and live a two-person world.
However, now the villas in Xiangjiang are starting to become more expensive.
For example, Beacon Hill is one of the few rare luxury residential areas in Kowloon, and housing prices have always been relatively expensive.
In May, the price of high-end apartments here has risen to more than 1,300 yuan per square foot. Last year, the price was only more than 900 yuan. It has skyrocketed by 50% in one year, which is a bit crazy.
If Wang Jing wants to buy a large villa with at least 3,000 square feet, he needs 4 million Hong Kong dollars, which is a huge amount of money. His 1.16 million is definitely not enough.
Originally, he thought that after making this film, he would be able to get at least another 500,000 in dividends, but he didn't expect that the street would be a mess, and this was getting further and further away from Wang Jing's wish.
Therefore, Wang Jing hurriedly begged Yin Jun. It was definitely not what he said that he wanted to repay Shao Liuye. The real reason was that he wanted to make a lot of money.
Seeing that the house price is getting more expensive day by day, Wang Jing is not willing to procrastinate any longer.
He didn't expect Yin Jun to be so talkative at first, but in the end, Yin Jun's conditions were extremely harsh, and he had to cooperate according to the previous "Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants", without Shao Yifu's share.
Originally, Wang Jing had a good idea to ask Yin Jun to write the script and get 1 million, and then Shao Brothers invested in it. If he can make a good film, Uncle Shao Liu will definitely give him at least a big red envelope, so that with the addition of the last film For the director's fee of 200,000 yuan for a street movie, he has almost 2 million yuan. This way, the down payment will be paid first, and the rest will be settled with a loan. In terms of interest, he can barely afford it with a little work.
Otherwise, if you wait like this, the price of the house will skyrocket, but you will not be able to afford it.
But now, if Shao Yifu doesn't join, then Wang Jing will have to betray Shao again and go to Golden Harvest or Golden Princess.
When the movie hits the blockbusters, Shao Yifu doesn't know how he will get angry: Well, you run away when you make money, and give me what you lose. Did you do it on purpose?
Thinking that his father was working under the Shaw Group, Wang Jing was really entangled.
On the one hand, he knew that Yin Jun was willing to invest in the script himself after he produced the script. He was sure that the movie would be a hit at the box office, even better than "Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants", and his share would definitely be more.
But after offending Shao Yifu, not only him, but also his father Wang Tianlin had no way out, and the situation would be very serious.
After thinking about it for a long time, when he returned home, he looked distressed and sat on the sofa without moving for a long time.
Wang Tianlin originally sat outside under the awning to bask in the sun and listen to little tunes on the radio, but he turned his head from time to time and couldn't help being a little annoyed when he saw his son in the living room like this.
When it was time to eat, he simply called Wang Jing to his room and started cursing like that.
Facing Wang Tianlin's anger, Wang Jing said the matter embarrassingly.
"So, you are worried, because you once again abandoned the Shao family and made a fortune on your own, Shao Yifu will vent his anger on your father?" Wang Tianlin asked blankly.
"Yes." Wang Jing whispered, "Father, it's not easy for you to get to this point. It would be a pity if everything was destroyed."
"You idiot!"
Wang Tianlin stretched out his hand and gave him a slap on the back of the head, "It's been so many years, don't you know Shao Yifu? I have no skills, even if you don't mess with him, he will fire me cleanly; I have skills, can Earn money for him, even if you offend him, he won't get angry at me! This person cares most about profit, not friendship at all!"
Wang Jing was shocked when he heard it, "Father, why do I hear your tone, it seems that you are dissatisfied with Mr. Shao?"
"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's that I've seen through Sixth Brother." Wang Tianlin sighed and sat down on the sofa again, "He's petty, stingy, bitter, mean, stubborn... There are a lot of shortcomings, but he But he never acts emotionally. As long as you can prove that you are capable, even if you are his enemy, he will not be angry, but will do everything possible to win you over.
For example, Yin Jun! Ever since he was born in the TV drama industry, which time did he not beat the crap out of wireless TVB? But did you see Shao Yifu hating him? Not at all! Shao Yifu also met with Yin Jun several times. He wanted Yin Jun to write scripts and produce TV programs for him, but he offered a high price!
Last time, Yin Jun gave TVB the idea of "Top Ten Golden Songs", plus an awards show, how many singers did TVB attract with this? Moreover, they also made the "Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Gala" into a grand gala for two consecutive years. In the entire music circle, they suddenly broke out and became a leading company.
This is an idea worth tens of millions! You said that Yin Jun has such ability, how could Shao Yifu hate him? If Yin Jun was not worth more than him now, he would definitely try his best to invite Yin Jun to wireless TVB... Look at the confrontation between Yin Jun and the major newspapers this time, and the falling out with Jiashi, what do you think? Could it be without Shao Yifu's secret push? "
Wang Jing nodded again and again, "Father, you are really cunning and scheming! You look carefully."
After a pause, he asked again, "According to what you said, can I really cooperate with Yin Jun like last time? Hehe, Yin Jun's script is the most powerful! Three consecutive breaks Xiangjiang’s movie box office record! My one will definitely be another benchmark! At that time, when the box office of Xiangjiang and other places are added together, even if I only get 10% of the share, it can reach at least 2 million!”
"Your cooperation must be with Yin Jun, but you don't have to completely abandon the Shaw Brothers." Wang Tianlin shook his head and said, "The Shaw Brothers has a very good theater chain, and if it is Yin Jun's film, at least ten more can be added. The most important thing is that in Nanyang, Shaw’s distribution channels are much stronger than Golden Harvest! If Shaw’s can give you better conditions than Golden Harvest and Golden Princess, why can’t you cooperate with them? ?”
"But……"
Wang Jing hesitated, "Can Uncle Shao agree? He really wants to invest!"
"When all the advantages are in the hands of others, Shao Yifu will not disagree." Wang Tianlin said, "On the one hand, you won't get any, and on the other hand, you can drink soup along with it, and it's not clear soup with little water. Tang, which one do you think he will choose?"
"Okay!" Wang Jing patted his thigh, "Anyway, I'm not an employee of Shaw Brothers. It's enough to give him this face and let him get back the loss he lost last time! It's impossible to make movies all the time Don't accompany me, I don't blame me for what happened last time, it's a risk they should take..."
Seeing his son there desperately cheering him up, Wang Tianlin smiled.
The current son still looks a little immature.
After he has practiced for a few more years, he will know that these things are actually easy to deal with, and there is no need to worry too much at all.
"By the way, Ah Xiang, if you make movies, you should do it seriously." Wang Tianlin said, "Your era is different from ours. I have taught you everything that needs to be taught. But there is one thing that I still have to do. Just to remind you."
"Tell me, Dad!" Wang Jing said with a smile, thinking that he had a large sum of money in the account.
"You must remember that no matter who you cooperate with, you must have your own skills." Wang Tianlin said, "You have skills, just like Yin Jun, you are not afraid of going anywhere. But if you don't have skills, even if you have You can't succeed even if the nobles support you."
"Yes! Father, I understand!" Wang Jing was slightly taken aback, then nodded seriously.
"Filming with Yin Jun is a good opportunity to learn." Wang Tianlin said, "Didn't he ask you to write the storyboard script? You deliberately make more mistakes so that he can give you more pointers. You can do it yourself. In the process of filming, ask more and learn more!"
"I know the storyboard script, but you don't need it for filming?" Wang Jing said in surprise, "I'm a director who has made two films. He hasn't shot a single one. He just wrote the script!"
"You idiot!" Wang Tianlin shook his head, "Do you think Yin Jun wrote this storyboard script for nothing? I've seen his storyboard scripts before, whether it's a movie or a TV series, if you eat these storyboards , then it is in your mind, it is directly a finished film of a movie or TV series! Yin Jun has already made these films in his mind! It is just to show them with the help of others ! This is true genius!!"
Wang Jing also thought about it. Yin Jun's films are famous for their fineness, which is also one of the important reasons for the high ratings of his TV series and the super high box office of his movies. The thinking and interpretation of TV dramas is a very remarkable ability.
"Nowadays, there are too many places where people can make movies or TV dramas as they like. If there is no comparison with such incoherent logic and thinking, then that's all. But with Yin Jun's movies and TV dramas in the Now, just wait and see, as long as Yin Jun keeps writing scripts, after three to five years at most, those foolish screenwriters or producers will definitely not be able to get along!" Wang Tianlin said, "Movies and TV dramas will all move towards a higher level. It is an inevitable trend to develop in the direction of grades, and after watching Yin Jun's movies and TV dramas, the audience will in turn force other movie and TV people to improve!"
Wang Jing now understood why his father asked him to learn more about Yin Jun.
On the one hand, it is for my own better progress, and on the other hand, it is also to adapt to the future film market in advance.
Prepare in advance, in the fierce competition in the future, you can be one step ahead of others, occupy the market one step earlier, and get the audience's approval one step earlier!
This is a very, very important opportunity for a film director!
For a moment, he admired Wang Tianlin so much.
If it weren't for Dad's outstanding vision and insight, he wouldn't have had such an opportunity at all.
Only Wang Tianlin, who has been dealing with film and television for decades, can see the mystery here.
Fortunately, this is my dad!
Otherwise, if someone else analyzes it, how can they tell me this?
Fatty Wang sighed happily.
"Also, don't say that Yin Jun hasn't made a movie before." Wang Tianlin was a little happy when he saw that he had something to say, but his tone was still light, "Isn't Yin Jun filming such a classic TV series as "Wulin Biography"?" With a group of unknown people, how can he make such a classic TV series so simple? Don’t think he didn’t make any more movies in the future, but I think he must have never given up on this part. When the time is right, He will definitely act again!"
"No way? He has a net worth of 3 billion, and he still wants to make a film?" Wang Jing opened his mouth wide, "If I were him, he would be beautiful every day, enjoy car, eat, drink and have fun... Ouch!"
Wang Tianlin withdrew the hand that slapped his son, and said angrily: "I tell you to think about people more on weekdays, think about people more! You don't know what you are thinking all day long! Look at Yin Jun, he didn't buy a mansion, didn't Buying a luxury car, not spending time and drinking, working very seriously all day long, and living a frugal life! How can such a person lack motivation and just enjoy life?"
"That's right." Wang Jing said with a smirk.
"When you learn from Yin Jun, you do things seriously." Wang Tianlin said, "It's much better to be his team in the future than to be with Shao Yifu! Even if you don't have this blessing, after you have a good relationship with him, in the future you will Xiangjiang's film industry has an extra backer! This is a matter of making money without losing any money!"
"learn!"
Wang Jing laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
An old family is like a treasure, this is too correct!
