Chapter 566 What Do You Think? (First Update!)

The budget of 60 million yuan was not decided by Yin Jun with a slap on the head.

Since it wants to be sold all over the world, this "Police Academy" can't just be performed by Xiangjiang people.

It just so happens that Xiangjiang is also an open city, so in the police school with Xiangjiang as the background, there should be not only Chinese, Japanese, Americans, and British.

Only such an international scene can impress audiences all over the world.

The specific candidate, when guiding Fatty Wang to revise the script for the scene these days, Yin Jun had already selected it in his heart, and began to prepare after the negotiations with Jiahe and Shaw Brothers were reached.

Yin Jun originally planned to find these actors by himself.

However, when Wang Jing said that Shao Yifu would like to drink morning tea directly, Yin Jun's mind became active all of a sudden.

At the current stage, making a film by yourself is not for money, but to expand influence, so why not let the two major film companies of Xiangjiang join in, so as to prepare and promote this film to a greater extent?

Among other things, the talents of the Shaw Brothers film company, as well as Golden Harvest's contacts in Japan and the United States, these are all aspects that can be used!

So after hanging up the phone, Yin Jun extended an invitation to Zou Wenhuai.

Jiahe is what Yin Jun wants to support. Although Yin Jun wants to make Shaw Brothers go bankrupt earlier, the success of a film cannot change the overall plight of Shaw Brothers.

If Shao Yifu had seen the sweetness of "Police Academy" and made a big-budget movie like "Interstellar Blunt" one step earlier than in his previous life, then Shaw Brothers would have collapsed one step earlier.

Speaking of which, although the important reason why Yin Jun asked Shao to join was because Yin Jun was grateful to Shaw House, but for Shao Yifu's character, it might as well give him a sweet poison.

Such a method is certainly not kind, but Yin Jun prepared a compensation gift for Shao Yifu in advance-the 47% wireless shares, without Yin Jun, could Shao Yifu get it?

In the future, Shao Yifu will develop wireless TVB according to his means. If he does well, it might not be a family heirloom worth tens of billions!

Master Shao Liu didn't know what Yin Jun was thinking.

After he returned to the company, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Yin Jun was a little domineering, and he didn't know how to respect his seniors.

And with a good script, it's despicable to show off like this, bully and blackmail.

While thinking about it, Shao Yifu simply called Zou Wenhuai.

When Zou Wenhuai left Shaw, in fact, Shao Yifu did not have much resentment, and he himself agreed to this.

But starting with the 1 million entanglements in "One Armed Swordsman", and then Li Xiaolong's repeated slaps in the face, Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai almost became sworn enemies, and they didn't speak for several years.

But with the passage of time, and the fact that everyone is a film maker, they don't look up and look down, so their relationship has eased a lot in the past two years.

Even if they fought for the process dragon together last year, they didn't tear their skins apart.

Therefore, Shao Yifu was willing to call Zou Wenhuai.

"Raymond, I heard that you are going to cooperate with Yin Jun in a movie?" Shao Yifu said straight to the point, Lei Meng is Zou Wenhuai's English name, and now he is the only one who calls Zou Wenhuai that way, even He Guanchang For Brother Huai.

Zou Wenhuai was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Sixth Brother, who did you listen to?"

The relationship between the two is actually a bit complicated.

Not only Shao Yifu, but also Zou Wenhuai.

Even when he went to court for "The One-Armed Swordsman" for a single day, Zou Wenhuai was still a "six elder brother" one by one. Except for tit-for-tat in career, he was never rebellious.

"I heard what Yin Jun said." Shao Yifu said, "Do you know what Yin Jun's investment allocation ratio is?"

Zou Wenhuai felt strange in his heart, but he still opened his mouth and said, "Sixth brother, do you know?"

"His overall investment is 60 million Hong Kong dollars, and he is going to ask you to pay 30 million, and then you can only occupy one-third of the profit distribution." Shao Yifu said lightly.

"oh."

Zou Wenhuai nodded, "60 million? This investment is indeed a bit big."

Shao Yifu couldn't help but said, "Don't you think this ratio of investment and output is too outrageous? It's equivalent to Yin Jun eating your 10 million script money for nothing!"

Why is he so angry?

Zou Wenhuai thought in his heart like lightning, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Sixth Brother, could it be Yin Jun who came to you to invest? ... No, no, Yin Jun has a different philosophy from yours in making movies, and he has no shortage of money. Qian, why did he come to you and take the initiative to find you? And if he came to you and put forward such a harsh condition, you will definitely not be so angry, just reject him directly... It should be because you got the news, so you went to Yin Jun You want to invest in shares, but you are so angry with his conditions that your nostrils are smoking?"

Zou Wenhuai is indeed one of the people who knows Shao Yifu best. With such a train of thought, he guessed the truth of the matter in no time.

Shao Yifu was not angry, "I found him, because the director he wanted was Tianlin's son Axiang. He told me that if I joined, I would also get 30 million in exchange for one-third of the profit." Distribution rights. In this way, he can sit back and enjoy one-third of the profits without paying any money. How can this make me happy? The key is such a large investment, where has Xiangjiang ever been? If it goes to the street, then But what a pity!"

Zou Wenhuai smiled.

How stingy Shao Yifu was, he naturally knew that the biggest reason for leaving Shaw Brothers was that Shao Yifu was determined to make movies for major studios, and he was unwilling to let go of his hands and feet to do it?

Now that Yin Jun wants 60 million yuan to make a movie, of course Shao Yifu can't think about it.

No matter how much he wants to make money, the investment of 30 million yuan is only one-third of the income of the movie, which is really risky.

Zou Wenhuai was surprised when he first heard Shao Yifu say that the investment quota was 60 million.

But when he thought about it, he didn't think there was anything wrong.

After all, Golden Harvest spent 8 million U.S. dollars on the production of "Killer's Trenches", and 2 million U.S. dollars in promotional expenses, which is an investment of 46 million Hong Kong dollars, which is more than this movie.

Another one, Yin Jun's book, but there has never been a precedent for it to miss.

This time, it is not only Yin Jun's own book, but he is also planning to invest in it himself. Could it be that he will harm himself, and then smash the signboard of "Asia's No. 1 Gold Medal Screenwriter"?

It's impossible!

Yin Jun is not the kind of person who cares nothing for money.

On the contrary, he must have thought very carefully and had a complete grasp to make such a high-investment movie.

Participating in a large-scale production movie, for Zou Wenhuai, not only is it not pressure, but it is a motivation in it.

Just like the previous "Raiders of the Lost Ark", didn't Golden Harvest give out the 5 million US dollars without blinking an eye?

Speaking of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", Zou Wenhuai was full of emotions.

If Deng Lijun's mother hadn't said such a word in one day, I would definitely not know about Yin Jun's cooperation with Lucas and Spielberg, and I would not join in impulsively.

Now that I think about it carefully, what I value is Yin Jun's calm and thoughtful way of doing things, isn't it?

It was precisely because he knew what kind of person Yin Jun was that he dared to make a big bet without knowing so much.

Now "Raiders of the Lost Ark" tells Zou Wenhuai with iron-clad facts that your choice is not wrong, and betting with Yin Jun will indeed bring you a fortune!

This is why Zou Wenhuai didn't think too much about the investment of 60 million Hong Kong dollars now.

"Brother Six." While pondering, Zou Wenhuai said in a harmonious voice, "In these years, we have also fought, so I won't say anything extra. This time, Jiahe will follow Ah Jun. Shaw Brothers How to do it is up to you. If you think it’s worth it, then you can follow, if you don’t think it’s good, then Yin Jun won’t force you, right?”

"Lei Meng, tell me the truth, why do you trust Yin Jun so much?" Shao Yifu didn't know the investment situation of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" back then, so he didn't understand Zou Wenhuai's thoughts.

"When Yin Jun just debuted as a screenwriter, I started to pay attention to him." Zou Wenhuai said, "This young man is very principled and understands the rules, and his talent is unprecedented. So I If you are willing to gamble with him, even if you lose, you can’t blame anyone.”

Seeing Zou Wenhuai's determination, Shao Yifu didn't ask any more questions, and after a few simple chats, he hung up the phone.

Seeing Zou Wenhuai put down the phone and sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, He Guanchang frowned and said, "What? Shao Yifu also got entangled?"

He Guanchang listened to the content of the phone call between the two, and he could naturally judge the information inside.

Zou Wenhuai smiled, and briefly explained what He Guanchang hadn't heard, and said: "He wanted to find a bargain, but he didn't expect Ah Jun to have such a big plate. The total investment of 60 million! He is struggling Woolen cloth!"

"Hehe, he is such an old-timer, he naturally doesn't know what a genius does." He Guanchang said with a snort.

But at the same time, he was also a little vigilant, "If Shao Yifu really joins in and the movie becomes a big success again, wouldn't it give him some more capital to support? Shaw Brothers won't be able to make a comeback, right?"

"If Shaw Brothers does not make a complete change, it is impossible to become stronger again. Because the times have changed, and there is no future for sticking to the rules." Zou Wenhuai said, "Ah Jun wants to make such a big investment movie, which proves that he is not He likes to make small troubles, after all, with his net worth, it is better not to make a few million movies. You want Sixth Brother to follow Yin Jun to do this? How is it possible?"

He Guanchang also laughed when he heard this.

With Shao Yifu's stingy character, it is naturally impossible to act like this.

Even if he gets into the car this time and makes money, if the things in his bones remain the same, the future of Shaw Brothers Film Company is still bleak!
