Movie tycoon

Chapter 200 Million Contract (Part [-])
This president's office is not as luxuriously decorated as outsiders imagined, on the contrary, it is very simple.

A large bookshelf, a desk, two sofas, that's all. If we talk about luxury, there is only a tank of feng shui fish on one side of the bookshelf, and there are a few very rare koi swimming in it.

Behind the desk, sitting upright in Xiangjiang, a well-known entertainment tycoon - Shao Yifu.

Shao Daheng wore a set of light gray silk trousers and cloth-soled shoes today, looking capable and chic.Under his bald forehead, he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. When he saw Chen Xiaotang, there was a meaningful smile on his cheek.

The famous "Hong Kong film king" seems to be carefully examining this very "outstanding" young man in front of him.

It's only been a little over a year since joining TVB, and it has turned from a sideshow to a protagonist. What's more, a song at a charity party shocked everyone, and even I, who has always been discerning, lost his eyes. It's not easy Oh, this young man.But no matter how simple it is, he is full of blood after all, there are so many temptations in the entertainment industry, Shao Daheng is confident that he can use these to control him, no matter how clever a cat is, he also eats fish, doesn't he? !

"You are Chen Xiaotang, right? We have met once. Your performance at the party last time was very impressive." Daheng Shao praised calmly.

"I'm ashamed. I didn't think about anything at the time. I just tried my best. I didn't expect to get the absurd praise from you, Uncle Six." Chen Xiaotang replied neither humble nor overbearing, without excessive humility, let alone the slightest pride.

Seeing his attitude, Shao Daheng couldn't help nodding secretly.

"Okay, let's get to the point—you must be curious about why I called you here. It's actually very simple. The company thinks you have good prospects and work hard, so they want to sign a long-term contract with you—"

"Sign a long-term contract, this, Sixth Uncle, I..." Chen Xiaotang was about to speak, but Shao Daheng frowned and interrupted him: "Don't refuse, I know everyone has their own value, So the price I will offer you is definitely not cheap." After speaking, he took out a check and handed it to Chen Xiaotang.

Surprised, Chen Xiaotang took the check and looked at it, feeling astonished.I saw that it was a huge check of HK Standard Chartered Bank for 300 million Hong Kong dollars.

300? !

What was the concept of HK in [-]?
It is equivalent to ten million now!
Chen Xiaotang's breathing became a little short. He thought of his current living situation, his parents and younger sister, and his family living in a small tea restaurant...

Shao Daheng stared at Chen Xiaotang's expression with piercing eyes, and even the slightest expression on Chen Xiaotang's face could not escape his eyes.

He smiled. After all, he is a young man. The 300 million is definitely a big temptation for him.

Shao Daheng believed that, let alone the young man in front of him, even big-name artists from many companies would find it difficult to resist.

"How about it, are you satisfied with the price I offered? If you are willing to nod your head now and sign a three-year long-term contract with us, then the 300 million is yours—don't worry, this check can be cashed at any time!" Shao Daheng said slowly, in his opinion, Chen Xiaotang would never refuse such a big advantage.

But he was wrong. Chen Xiaotang smiled suddenly, and even flicked the huge check with his fingers a little recklessly, then politely pushed it back and said, "Thank you, Uncle Liu, for your kindness, but I'm sorry. !"

"Oh, why?" Shao Daheng was a little surprised, he never expected that Chen Xiaotang would refuse such a great benefit on the spot.

The corner of Chen Xiaotang's mouth curled up slightly and said: "Although I am very grateful for the company's cultivation, but the three-year long-term contract is a bit too restrictive for me. As an actor, I love the acting career very much, but this does not mean that I will Selling myself to the company, therefore, it is hard for me to accept!"

Chen Xiaotang's words were too straightforward, straightforward enough to make anyone's face change color.However, Shao Daheng, who had experienced many vicissitudes, only showed a slight sullen expression on his face, and immediately recovered.

This young man can be so frank and straightforward, it shows that he still has at least a heart of innocence, and maybe he can win it over time.

In fact, Chen Xiaotang hesitated for a while before, but immediately he saw some facts clearly, why did Daheng Shao do this?Why did the company refuse to release records for itself before?It is obvious that Daheng Shao will never make a loss-making business!
On the surface, 300 million yuan is sold for three years, and a steady income of 100 million yuan a year seems to be a steady profit, but don't forget that Chen Xiaotang is an actor, and he is in a golden field like the entertainment industry. As long as he can become popular, the money is still rolling coming? !
Not to mention anything else, just say that if Chen Xiaotang really gets the record, the money from selling the record alone will be a huge sum, not to mention the fees earned from rehearsals, filming, filming and holding concerts in the future——
This is not a lie, just look at Zheng Shaoqiu and other big stars now, they just appear on the stage and sing a song, the appearance fee alone is more than one hundred thousand, and the filming salary is even millions.As Chen Xiaotang knew, Zhao Yazhi recently earned over one million yuan for making movies, and Cheng Long even earned three or four million yuan for one movie, not counting the bonus after the release...

Compared with them, although Chen Xiaotang knew that he was still a little behind, but he had only become popular after all, and it is not impossible to reach millions or even millions of dollars in time!
The 300 million in front of me looks very tempting, but because of this, I have tied myself up for three years, and this deal is definitely a loss. What's more, compared with the millions or even hundreds of millions in the future, this small 300 million is just a fly. It's just a small profit!

Chen Xiaotang is neither stupid nor naive, he quickly saw the trump card behind Daheng Shao, and tied himself up for three years at such a trivial price, I am afraid that he will have to work like Yang Bailao to pay back the debt...

At this time Shao Daheng looked at Chen Xiaotang.Chen Xiaotang also looked at Shao Daheng, neither of them spoke, which made the atmosphere in the whole office delicate.

However, Shao Daheng is still an old man after all, so he laughed immediately, as if nothing could happen just now, and said: "Okay, okay, since you don't want to accept my kindness, it doesn't matter, after all, you are still an employee of the wireless company. As long as you are willing to work hard to film——" But I was thinking in my heart whether to show the next card?This kid is so ignorant of praise, do I still want to praise him?But immediately he calmed down, why should he care about such a kid with such a great status?It's good to give him a chance, after all, the company doesn't suffer.

Thinking of this, Shao Daheng straight to the point and said: "Chen Xiaotang, if I remember correctly, you haven't started filming any new movies recently, have you?"

Chen Xiaotang knew that Daheng Shao must have something to say about this move, so he said: "It's just a cameo role in the Golden Harvest movie "Shushan"." Chen Xiaotang deliberately said the word "Golden Harvest" very loudly.He knew that Zou Wenhuai, the boss of Golden Harvest, was a traitor under Shao Daheng's subordinates, and now he went over there to make a cameo filming with him, so it's better to explain it clearly.

Shao Daheng seemed to have known about this a long time ago, nodded and said: "I also know about this, but since it's a guest appearance, it probably won't delay the time—"

The world also underestimates Shao Daheng's measure. From outsiders' point of view, since Jiahe was founded by Shao Daheng's traitors, then Shao Daheng will definitely disregard all his relationship with Jiahe. Otherwise, Shao Daheng has always believed that A business philosophy, that is, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests!

Just imagine, everyone is in the entertainment industry, HK is such a big place, if you really want to avoid everything, isn't it a problem with money?
"But I don't know what arrangement Sixth Uncle has, old man?" Seeing what the other party said, Chen Xiaotang asked directly.

Shao Daheng didn't hide any more, and said, "The company is going to remake Master Jin Yong's masterpiece "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji", and you will be the leading actor!"

"Yi Tian Tu Long Ji"?
Actor? !

Chen Xiaotang was stunned!

If the crowd is good, TVB's second remake of Jin Yong's drama is after the Five Tigers split. In order to appease Liang Chaowei, who first rebelled against the Five Tigers, TVB specially created a drama for him.At that time, the play was supervised by Wang Tianlin, directed by Du Qifeng, Chen Musheng and others; at the request of the audience, Liang Chaowei, TVB's chief Xiaosheng, was the protagonist Zhang Wuji, and famous actors such as Li Meixian, Deng Cuiwen, Ren Dahua, Zheng Yuling and other famous actors joined in. The production team and cast are well-rounded. Unprecedentedly powerful, it set a high ratings of 42 points when it premiered in Hong Kong, and was the 1986 ratings champion.This is the most faithful to the original work and the most youthful and beautiful actors among the film and television versions of "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" in the past. In particular, Zhang Wuji played by Liang Chaowei is recognized as the image, temperament, and age that are most in line with the original work.

Could it be that because of his appearance, this movie will be remade? !
Shao Daheng seemed to enjoy Chen Xiaotang's feeling of being surprised. Before, Chen Xiaotang would reject the huge amount of 300 million, which also surprised Shao Daheng a little, but he finally got it back.

But before Shao Daheng got comfortable, Chen Xiaotang gave him an even bigger "surprise".

"I'm sorry, Uncle Six, I don't want to take on this movie!"

"Ah, what?" Daheng Shao, who had gone through all kinds of storms and never changed his face about anything, showed a look of shock.

What do you mean, did I hear wrongly, I praised him so much, but he didn't accept the film? !Others were crying and begging to play "Zhang Wuji" but couldn't get it, but this kid just turned his hand away and refused? !
If it wasn't for losing face, Shao Daheng really wanted to dig out his ears to see if he heard it wrong.

But Shao Daheng is still Shao Daheng after all.The astonishment flashed across his face, and he immediately smiled kindly and said, "I don't quite understand this. Many people in this drama wish to be the leading actor, but why did you refuse?"
