Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 1762 1764【Real Kung Fu Films】

   "Mr. He, the contract you gave is quite reasonable." Xiang Nan nodded, "However, I have a more reasonable proposal, I wonder if you would like to listen to it."

   "Okay, you say." He Guanchang smiled.

"In this way, I will set up a film company. Your Jiahe will invest in this company, accounting for 50% of the shares, and I will hold the remaining 50%." Xiang Nan laughed, "I will take care of the company , I signed a ten-year contract with the company. The film is invested by the company, produced by me, distributed by you, and after making money, it will be shared in proportion, what do you think?"

  After He Guanchang listened, after thinking for a long time, he finally said, "I can't decide this matter myself, I have to discuss it with Mr. Zou."

  In principle, he felt that Xiang Nan's suggestion was still feasible.

  Although Golden Harvest only invested in a company, not Xiang Nan himself. But because he himself signed a long-term contract with the company, Golden Harvest owns half of his contract in disguise.

  The film is funded by the company, which means that Golden Harvest only contributes half of the investment, so the risk is small. If the film is produced by Xiang Nan, its quality can be guaranteed.

  If the movie is distributed by Golden Harvest, Golden Harvest is guaranteed to get the maximum benefit. After all, the distributors and theaters earn the most money. Producers can often be calculated that if they don’t earn a penny, they will have to pay for it.

  So considering all things together, Golden Harvest's interests are guaranteed.

  Since Xiang Nan holds half of the contract, he also has a certain degree of freedom, which is very helpful to calm his emotions and stimulate his creativity.

   Otherwise, even if he is signed with a full contract, he will feel awkward. At that time, if you don't film well and go on strike passively, it won't do Jiahe any good.

  From ancient times to the present, slave society, feudal society, and capitalist society have taught capital one thing, that is, not to push too **** laborers, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

   "Okay, then I'll wait for your news." Xiang Nan nodded and said.

  …

  He Guanchang then discussed with Zou Wenhuai, and finally made an amendment to Xiang Nan's proposal.

  The film investment is invested by the company, but the production is done by Golden Harvest.

  Because Zou Wenhuai was worried, Xiang Nan was a fledgling, although he made two box office hits, but his experience was still inexperienced, and he was not enough to handle the production of the whole movie.

  Of course, this is only a superficial reason. The real reason is that if the movie is handed over to Xiang Nan, his power is too great. At that time, the cost, progress, and quality cannot be controlled. For Golden Harvest, it will be a bit risky.

  Xiang Nan agreed to He Guanchang's revision proposal, and the two parties formally signed the contract.

  Because Golden Harvest only got half of the contract, the signing bonus was also cut in half, only 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars.

   Xiang Nan did not raise any objections to this.

   It's just that I understand in my heart that regardless of the great fortune of the Jiahe family and the extravagant spending, they are still good at calculating and calculating in essence.

   To cooperate with such a company, you must pay more attention. Otherwise, if they are sold, they will have to count the money.

  …

  Xiang Nan then took a three-month vacation with the school, and then bid farewell to Cong Shan and returned to Xiangjiang with his family.

  Ning Weiguo and Qi Aihong originally disagreed. After all, in their opinion, being a college student, assigning jobs after graduation, being a leading cadre, etc., is much better than being an actor.

   But when they found out that Xiang Nanguang's signing bonus was only 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars, they immediately had nothing to say. In the 1970s, the salary of the highest level was less than 600 yuan. Two and a half million, enough to earn a lifetime.

  After coming to Xiangjiang, Xiang Nan registered and established his own company—True Kungfu Films, with a registered capital of 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars. Golden Harvest invested another 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars to get 50% of the shares in Real Kung Fu.

   And the new movie is also being prepared immediately.

  The script was written by Xiang Nan himself - "The Strange Trick of Laughing Fist".

   This is a work launched by Jackie Chan in 1979. After it was released, it won the box office champion of the year, which can be said to be quite good.

  After the script passed Golden Harvest's review, preparations for the production began.

  The leading role is naturally Xiang Nan, and the supporting roles are mostly played by artists under Golden Harvest. Such as Tian Jun, Lin Zhengying, Qian Yuesheng and so on. In addition, Lin Zhengying and Qian Yuesheng are also responsible for martial arts guidance.

  The total production cost was 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and Xiang Nan's own film salary reached 400,000 Hong Kong dollars. In today's Xiangjiang film world, it is basically considered top-notch.

  Based on his box office performance of "The Snake" and "Drunken Master", this remuneration can be said to be worth the money. Because of those two movies, Zhu Mu brought in a profit of 6 million Hong Kong dollars, making him a fortune all at once.

  However, the artist's remuneration is the price of seafood. Don't look at Xiang Nan's top salary now, if the box office of the new film is not good, his salary will drop immediately.

  Therefore, many celebrities will take advantage of their popularity to frantically accept plays, make big and special shots, and earn their salary first.

  For example, Zheng Yuling tried to take on nine dramas at the same time, and went to nine crews to film in one day, which was nicknamed "Zheng Nine Groups". When Wu Junru was popular, she also tried seven or eight crews in rotation. When filming, only the facial expressions were filmed, and the rest of the actions were all done by the double. In the end, even the double was tired and paralyzed...

  …

  The filming of "Laughing Fist Strange Moves" then started.

  The shooting process was relatively smooth.

  Although Xiang Nan seems to be a director for the first time, in fact he already has a lot of directing experience.

  Because in real life, he is the owner of a film and television company. In the early days of entrepreneurship, there was a shortage of manpower, which was kicked out by his own editor and director;

   Moreover, when he collaborated with Zhu Mu in "Serpentine Hands" and "Laughing Boxing Strange Tricks", Xiang Nan also paid attention to observation and learning, and learned a lot of skills from him.

   In addition, he had already seen Jackie Chan's original "Laughing Fist Strange Moves", which can not only imitate a cat, but also sublimate it.

  So now as a director, it is natural to do a job with ease.

   Lin Zhengying, Qian Yuesheng, Tian Jun and others also admire Xiang Nan.

  Although he is young, he is only nineteen years old, but he is really powerful. Editing, directing, and acting are all-round, and they can hold the stage. The 19-year-old Maotouzi manages a crew of nearly a hundred people in an orderly manner.

   Who should do what, who should take care of what, who is responsible, who is at fault, clearly and clearly, let everyone know that he is not easy to deal with, which is actually very powerful.

  Because there are many unruly people in the film and television industry, seeing that the director is a newcomer, they will deliberately create difficulties for the director, see the director's jokes, and damage his prestige.

  When Wang Jing became a director for the first time, he was afraid that he would not be able to control the scene, so he specially asked his father Wang Tianlin to come out and run the crew to help watch.

  At first they thought that Xiang Nan would also be deflated. Unexpectedly, instead of being stumped by them, Xiang Nan subdued them, which made them admire him naturally.
