"But it's okay. I have a role in the movie anyway. I will keep an eye on you and won't let you hook up with other women." The little aunt whispered to herself.

"Lin Qingxia, don't think that I can't hear you even if your voice is small. I'm a martial arts practitioner. Seeing all directions and hearing all directions are the basic skills. Are you so proud that you can fight?" Li Yangshu raised his arms and showed off his muscles.

"Haha." Lin Qingxia peeled off a prawn and fed it to Li Yangshu, "Honey, what are you going to do this afternoon?"

Those who are close to red are red, and those who are close to ink are dark. My little aunt also learned Li Yangshu’s method of changing the topic.

"Take a nap and go see Old Monster Xu in the afternoon."

"Do you need me to accompany you?"

"It's up to you. If you're not tired, go ahead. If you're tired, rest at home. Don't delay filming at night."

"Ouch." The little aunt leaned her arm against Li Yangshu, "Husband, what should I do if Ayu gets angry and hits me when I go to the set at night?"

Li Yangshu didn't even look at this naive literary girl, "It's okay, she can't beat you, yours is bigger than hers, and you can crush her to death."

"I hate it. You can't be more serious." The little aunt's face turned slightly red.

After the meal, the Filipino maid washed the dishes and the two of them went to the bedroom to prepare for a lunch break.

Li Yangshu lay on the bed, picked up the mobile phone and dialed the number, "Director Xu, do you have time in the afternoon? I have finished writing the script."

"......"

"No, for a famous director like you, of course I will go find you. By the way, Director Xu, can you ask my sister to contact Poison Fa in the afternoon so that we can fix his schedule as soon as possible."

"...."

"OK, just do as Director Xu said. We will go directly to Xinyi City in the afternoon and discuss some specific cooperation matters."

After hanging up the phone, Li Yangshu took out the spare battery of his mobile phone and replaced it, then charged up the replaced battery. Despite the size of today's mobile phones, the battery is really not durable and will run out of power after a continuous call for up to an hour.<

"Husband, hold me."

------------------

Xu Ke Film Studio.

"Ashu will send the script this afternoon. You can contact Zhou Runfa now to see if he has time in the afternoon and sign his schedule."

Mr. Shi, who was collecting information, turned his head and said, "Oh, are you sure you want to use Zhou Runfa? His current box office performance is not very good."

"Ashu told me on the phone just now that Qingxia will also play an important supporting role. Even if the script is not very good, there should be no problem in maintaining the capital."

"That's okay, but if Ashu wants to successfully win next year's summer schedule, he will probably have to pay some price to New Art City, otherwise New Art City will not easily give up such a good summer schedule even if it's your face.

"Teacher Shi expressed her worries.

"When the time comes, you just have to look at what I'm saying. If the script is good, we'll do our best to help him. I haven't produced a good work for a long time."

Indeed, since the great success of "The Best Partner 3" directed by Mr. Xu in 1984, in order to escape from the oppression of New Art City, with the support of Princess Jin, he established his own film studio, which can bypass New Art City and directly

Get the investment from Princess Jin.

Although Xu Ke has established his own film studio, he still mainly relies on the Golden Princess Cinema at this time, and the film companies supported by the Golden Princess Cinema are divided into close ones.

In the 1980s, Golden Harvest vigorously promoted the independent producer system and satellite company system, which not only allowed creators to participate in dividends, but also provided a free creative environment, and gradually established Hong Jinbao, Chen Long, Yuan Biao, Xu Guanwen, and McDonald's Bear

, the movie kingdom where Zhang Jianting and other princes co-existed.

Among the three major cinema chains in Hong Kong, Golden Harvest Cinema has a strong film supply, and Shaw Brothers Cinema is declining. Princess Jin, the third largest Chinese cinema chain, clearly realizes that Shaw Brothers' old studio system and salary system can no longer keep up with the development of the times.

, the satellite dividend system where a hundred flowers bloom is the general trend.

Therefore, Princess Jin followed the example of Golden Harvest, used talents in an eclectic way, vigorously supported small and medium-sized production companies, and cooperated with them on dividends, and established her own "Princess Golden Kingdom".

The most famous ones at this stage are: New Art City Pictures founded by Ma Jia and others, Yongjia Films of Chen Xunqi, Xu Ke Film Studio, and Wanmian Pictures of Li Xiuxian.

As for all the subsidiaries of Princess Jin, Xinyi City is a mountain that no one can get around, including Princess Jin herself.

Let’s talk about equity first. The equity structure of Xinyi City is: Ishida and Huang Baiming, accounting for 19% and 9% respectively; of the remaining 72%, Princess Jin accounts for 51% and is the largest shareholder, and Mecca is the second largest shareholder with 49%

As shareholders, the three giants of Xinyi City account for more than 60% of the shares.

The second is the basic model of cooperation, with Princess Jin investing, Xinyi City producing, and finally sharing according to the agreed ratio.

Among them, Golden Princess has the income from the theater chain, and also takes care of distribution. Finally, she also has a share of the net income after deducting the theater chain's share and distribution costs, and she always gets the biggest share.

Under this cooperation model, Princess Jin gave New Art City the greatest financial support, and also gave them the greatest creative space and complete creative freedom.

In other words, Princess Jin only cares about investing money and getting profits. Princess Jin almost ignores what Xinyi City shoots, how to shoot it, and who to hire to shoot it. She just wants to make money.

Under such circumstances, if Li Yangshu wants to win the summer release of "God of Gamblers", he must not avoid New Art City, even with Xu Ke.

"Husband, wake up."

When he heard his little aunt calling him, Li Yangshu raised his hand and took the watch on the bedside table and took a look. It was past three o'clock.

Lin Qingxia went to the bathroom in the bedroom to wash up and put on makeup, while Li Yangshu simply washed his face outside.

Twenty minutes later, the two walked hand in hand to the underground parking lot.

"Husband, you can drive my car from now on."

When the little aunt was not with Li Yangshu, she still felt that his red Mazda was indifferent. Now that they are together, she feels that Li Yangshu's car is more and more awkward.

"No, Brother Long will give me a BMW in two months. Have you forgotten about the bet? You were still a witness back then."

Li Yangshu did not expose the little aunt's vanity. She just disliked Mazda for its low quality. Everyone in the world has vanity. Li Yangshu has no prejudice against this.

"Well, if you lose the bet, I'll buy you one." The little aunt was sitting in the passenger seat and looked at Li Yangshu happily.

"No, even if I lose by then, my money will have been withdrawn from the foreign exchange market and I will buy it myself. By the way, use all your money to buy a house. The house price is expected to rise. It is more cost-effective than putting it in the bank."

"Well, you can help me do it when you get back."

New Art City Film Company.

After Li Yangshu called Mr. Xu and learned that he was in the Mecca office, he went up with Lin Qingxia.

"Enter."

When I opened the door, I saw several old acquaintances from Hong Kong movies in my previous life, including Bald Mecca, Happy Ghost Huang Baiming, Little Ma's brother Zhou Runfa, and of course Mr. Xu and his wife.

Li Yangshu stepped forward one by one to shake hands and say hello.

Maybe it was because of the little aunt, but the three people who met for the first time were quite enthusiastic about Li Yangshu.

Then it was time to get down to business. Li Yangshu took out the script and said, "Director Xu, you and Boss Mai will read the script first."

Among the men, all except Huang Baiming smoked, and Li Yangshu handed each of them a cigar.

The funny thing is that Huang Baiming, who never smoked or drank, unexpectedly got breast cancer in the end.

Xu Ke, Mecca, and Huang Baiming gathered together to read the script, while Li Yangshu chatted with Fa Ge and the two girls.

"Brother Fa, are next year's schedule full?"

"It doesn't matter whether you are satisfied or not, just listen to Boss Mai's arrangements."

After the two chatted for a while, Li Yangshu learned that Fa Ge was now a contracted artist with New Art City. Of course, Chow Yun-fat did not only belong to New Art City. Princess Jin, the parent company of New Art City, also had a contract with Chow Yun-fat.

Li Yangshu also planned to buy several of Fa Ge's next year's movies in advance, but now it seems that his wishful thinking will come to nothing.

Originally, Li Yangshu thought that after "God of Gamblers" became a hit, he would take advantage of Fa Ge's schedule to extort some Hong Kong dollars, but in the end, God's calculations are not as good as those of humans.

"Ashu, right? I'll follow them and call you Ashu. The script isn't too good, it's quite satisfactory. Please tell me your cooperation conditions." Mecca said calmly.

After listening to Mecca's comments, Li Yangshu wanted to spit a mouthful of yellow phlegm on his bright bald head. In this era, it is not good for such a good script of "God of Gamblers" to be put into your mouth. If you want to lower the price, just say it clearly. It has to be done.

Some twists and turns.

"Boss Mai, please tell me first. As long as it's not too different from my bottom line, I'll agree." Li Yangshu said with the same calm expression.

We all love each other. If you don’t give me a smile, I won’t give it to you either.

"Then let me tell you first. Xu Ke told me before you came here that you want to be the sole proprietor of the shooting. Since you don't need a joint venture, then our New Art City will help you with the issuance. New Art City will hold 30% of the shares through the issuance."

After saying that, Mecca still looked like it was empty of food and salt.

"Boss Mai, if it includes all income from other places, I agree."

"Haha, of course it's just the box office in Xiangjiang. The distribution channels in other places are all established by us with great pains."

Mecca's meaning is obvious. The foreign copyright of "God of Gamblers" has nothing to do with Li Yangshu, and Li Yangshu can only share the local box office of Xiangjiang with New Art City.

The current box office system of theaters and producers in Xiangjiang is generally 4 cents on the first Saturday, 5 cents on the second Friday, and 46 cents on the remaining time.

Li Yangshu made a little calculation and based on a 50-50 split, if the final box office of "God of Gamblers" is 30 million Hong Kong dollars, after excluding various tax payments, there will be about 28 million left.

He received about 14 million in his own hands, and then gave 30% of the dividend to Xinyi City, which is another 4.2 million. Even if he invested 7 million, he would only have 2.8 million left, and this is without counting Old Monster Xu.

After all, all you have to do is make yourself lonely.

Looking at Mecca's face, Li Yangshu wanted to slap him twice.

"Boss Mai, your request is far from my bottom line. I'd better go to Jiahe and give it a try. I have a pretty good relationship with Chen Long."

After saying that, he took Lin Qingxia's hand and prepared to leave.

"Ashu, don't leave yet, let's discuss it later." At this time, Old Monster Xu spoke.
