"Mr. Chen, you bought more than 200 movies before, and you only spent a little more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars in total." After Zou Wenhuai's Rolls-Royce left, Gu Liwei held her briefcase and said, "Jiahe only has 95 movies. Even if there is Bruce Lee, you don't need such a high price of RU million US dollars, right? When I was studying in the United States, my friends and classmates around me had never seen his movies."

"Just because there are many people in this world who haven't seen Bruce Lee, I drove a RU of $00,000. I took advantage of Jiahe's failure to react and grabbed it first." Chen Chong opened the car door and said, "If everyone in the world has watched his movies, what else would I buy back?"

No movie, no matter how classic it is, it cannot be released on a large scale for a long time. When Bruce Lee was shining, the video tape had not been invented yet, and it is not surprising that many people have not seen his movies. And Bruce Lee's kung fu charm has been proven to be able to transcend race, country and era by time, so his four movies, like Disney cartoons, are the most valuable treasures in film history.

However, Jiahe is not strong enough, has limited eyesight, and can't afford to play tricks. He can only collect copyright fees for stills from newspapers and magazines every year. If it is placed in the hands of media giants like Warner or Paramount, Bruce Lee's animation, comics, toys, clothing and other derivatives, I don't know how many of them will be produced.

"And Vivian, don't be too mean in business, don't think about making the most money as much as possible. It's not good, leave some room for the other party to feel that it's profitable, which is good for the future." Chen Chong got the Jiahe Film Library and was in a good mood. After he got into the car, he was a good teacher and said: "If I ask Jiahe for money, bargain every penny, and finally buy it for two or three million, and take it back to make a videotape. If you make a big profit, do you think Zou Wenhuai feel comfortable? He will think I'm not kind and deliberately cheated him. This is not a one-time deal. Jiahe is still producing and filming. In three or five years, there will be another 100,200 movies in the film library. If you buy it, do you think Zou Wenhuai will sell it to me? Now I use RU00,000 to buy it. He feels that he has taken advantage of it. Even if he is jealous in the future, he can only blame himself for not having enough vision and not being able to blame me."

Gu Liwei lowered her eyebrows and said nothing.

"Mr. Chen, where are you going?"

"What time is Run Run Shaw's dinner?"

"At 7 o'clock in the evening, at the villa in Qingshui Bay." Gu Liwei turned around and said, "Mr. Chen, you will have a meeting with Chairman Chen at five o'clock."

"Then go back to the company first." Chen Chong picked up the briefcase next to the seat, took out a stack of documents from it, and said: "I heard that Run Run Shaw bought a Rolls-Royce, converted the back seat into an office, and could work on the road. I used to think he really didn't understand the style, but now, I think I should do the same."

Gu Liwei smiled and said, "Have Mr. Zou agreed to attend the award ceremony?"

"As long as I can invite Run Run Shaw, he will accompany you." Chen Chong smiled and said, "Vivian, do you think I want to invest in an eyewear store? These two people stand together to present awards, and they will definitely fall below many people's glasses."

"I think so," Gu Liwei said: "President Chen asked everyone to sign a confidentiality agreement. Apart from the preparatory committee, even the judges did not know the specific content of the award ceremony. When the TV broadcasts, there will definitely be surprises."

"The award ceremony is a new thing. Only by maintaining a certain sense of mystery can the audience's curiosity and maintain attention." Chen Chong looked through the document and said, "Information is a resource. It must be used in a planned manner. Just like eating, chewing each dish slowly to taste it. All information is disclosed at once, which is equivalent to filling everyone with a large bottle of Coke before the banquet. After the main meal comes, who still has the appetite to eat it."

Gu Liwei looked thoughtful. After a while, she asked, "Mr. Chen, will Uncle Liu agree to present the award? I heard that he rarely attends public events."

"Rody Shaw is a businessman, a pure businessman." Chen Chong looked up at her and said, "It is best for a businessman to speak. As long as I have a big deal, he will definitely come."

Gu Liwei thought Chen Chong was talking about the videotape business, so she calculated it and said, "Shaw Brothers Film Curry, there are at least 500 movies, right? 5840, 400,000 US dollars, it is indeed a big deal."

"I'm not talking about this." Chen Chong shook his head and said: "Although Shaw's film library is large, its quality and influence are not as good as Jiahe. It can't cost so much money. I'm talking about "Die Hard."

“Didn’t Die Hard work with Jiahe?”

"That's right." Chen Chong held the document with his knees, signed it at home, and then said: "But Jiahe and I only signed a cooperation agreement for five dramas. "The Rules of Industry" is one, and "The Rules of Industry" released after the Spring Festival is one, and "Die Hard" has already been three. Our company will film at least ten more dramas this year. The small productions of "The Rules of Industry" have sold for more than 7 million yuan. Although no one knows how much "Die Hard" can sell, this publicity momentum and production cost are destined to make sure that theaters are profitable. The box office of the movies that Shaw himself filmed this year is very bleak. If I told Run Run Shaw, I would continue to invest in making big-scale movies and intend to cooperate with Shaw, would you say he would be moved? I just asked him to present awards, not asking him to kill and set fire."

"A Chong, this is the second round of the movie list after the review." Chen Baisheng handed a list to Chen Chong and said: "There are 10 candidates for the best movie, including Best Director, Best Actor and Actress, and all five candidates are available."

Chen Chong looked up in surprise and asked, "Have you sent the copy here in the mainland?"

"The official one is not yet." Chen Baisheng said with a smile: "I went to find Liao Yiyuan, the manager of Xinlian. He communicated in the middle and borrowed a copy from Zhongchao Guangzhou Branch."

"Brother Chen, you really have it." Chen Chong was so busy that he was thinking about going to Beijing. He forgot to go to the back door. While looking at the list, he asked, "I haven't seen Mr. Liao for a while. What is he busy with recently?"

"I don't know very well. He has been very busy recently and often goes to Guangzhou. This copy was brought by him from Guangzhou in person."

Is it true that Hong Kong movies are in the process of screening in Guangdong?

I have to find some time to inquire...

Chen Chong pressed his mind and used a fountain pen to draw lines on the list, muttering: ""Crazy Calamity", "Legend of the Mountain", "Empty Mountain Spirit Rain", "Pointing the Soldiers", "From Slave to General", "Little Flower", "Heart of the Heliocenter", "Gullshots of the Secret Bureau", "Seventh-rank Sesame Official"... "Story of the Small Town".

After reading it, he looked up and said, "Isn't there "Butterfly Transformation"?"

"The novel and creativity of Tsui Hark are both innovative and creative in this drama, but they are not good enough. There is no explanation in many key areas, no end, lack of logic, and the story cannot be self-consistent. Moreover, the superficial characters, the sets, costumes, shapes, props and even the style of the entire movie are not unified and messy, so they were wiped out in the second round of voting."

"That's a pity." Tsui Hark's film debut is quite famous, but it's mixed reputations and criticisms. It's not surprising that he lost the best movie. Looking at the list, he said: "There are five movies in the mainland, and only one in Taiwan?"

"The Legend of the Mountains is considered to be from Taiwan," Chen Baisheng explained: "We decide according to the investors, Huang Zhuohan is from Taiwan."

"Okay." Chen Chong nodded and said, "Stop Taiwan's embarrassment."

"It's a pity that Lao Luo went to do the final review. He can't read the copy from the mainland in advance, otherwise he would definitely break his promise and take back the matter of betting on who will bet on the best movies with you." Chen Baisheng said with a smile: "The ten films in the mainland are all high-quality. If it weren't for the strong political propaganda flavor of several of them, "Small Town Story" might have been wiped out."

"Is that good?"

"In terms of shooting techniques, the mainland is not outstanding, but they have made fine filming, high actor level, and good character shaping. Even if they don't agree with the political principles, they will remember the character image." Chen Baisheng picked up the porcelain cup, took a sip of tea, and said, "I like "The Seventh-Class Sesame Official" the most. Although it is a drama movie, I can't understand the lyrics very well, and I can only read the subtitles. But the performance is really good, and both are good at singing and writing. The film is more than two hours long, not boring at all, which opens my eyes."

"The Seventh-rank Sesame Official" is also known as "The Emperor of Tang Dynasty Reviews the Imperial Decree". It is a comedy and honest official drama drama by the famous Henan opera artist Niu Decao. The plot is vivid and the performance is funny. It is a very classic drama film. The line "It is better to go home to sell sweet potatoes than to be an official but not to be a ruler for the people" has been widely circulated and has almost become a folk song.

This movie was screened in the RU era in mainland China for a long time. Chen Chong watched it more than once when he was a child. He was very impressed. As Chen Baisheng said, he couldn't understand the lyrics, but he was very interested in watching the subtitles.

Drama movies are a niche type. "Seventh-rank Sesame Official" is also a local opera in Henan. It can stand out in the eyes of a group of Hong Kong editors and is shortlisted for the best movie, so when Shen Chong saw the list, he was shocked.

"In addition to "The Seventh-rank Sesame Official", Chen Baisheng put down his cup and said with regret: "There is another movie that has been wiped out, which I think is a pity."

"What movie?"

"Nezha's Sea," said Chen Baisheng: "A cartoon produced by Shanghai Art Film Studio is brightly colored, elegant in style, rich in imagination, and is definitely not worse than Disney. Unfortunately, it is an animation. It is a bit inconsistent among a bunch of live-action movies and was eventually rejected."

"Add to the award, add to the award" Chen Chong immediately said: "Add to the best animated feature film award."

"But only the animated film "Nezha's Sea" is lonely and has no competition. Isn't this award a bit nonsense?"

"There is no competition, and even if there are competitors, this movie will definitely be the final winner." Chen Chong said with a final say: "Animation movies are indispensable and must be encouraged. Otherwise, it is not called the Best Animation Feature Award, it is called the Best Animation Film Awards for the Academy Awards, and a special trophy is released."

After thinking about it, he said, "There are also animation short films. Only when the short film is completed can the future of the feature films. The Best Animation Short Film Award is set. If I remember correctly, both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions produced some animation short films last year. There are competitions in this award, and some are doing it."

"What about the copy?"

"You send someone to find him in Hong Kong, and let Zhuo Botang go to find him in Taiwan." Chen Chong looked at his watch and said, "I'll go from the mainland. I won't delay this time. I'll call tomorrow morning."
