After holding five concerts in Hong Kong City's Hung Hom Stadium, Liu Hao rushed back to the capital without stopping.
"Why are you spending money on such a high-end dress? You can't wear it twice..." Yu Feihong glanced at Liu Hao, who had just come out of the bathroom, and said angrily.
Although she said this, you could clearly feel the joy spreading from her eyebrows. She couldn't put it down while holding the dress in front of the floor-length mirror.
Women are almost irresistible to beautiful clothes.
Rubbing his hair with a dry towel and wiping it, Liu Hao looked helpless and said slowly: "I also understand this, but those luxury brands are unwilling to borrow haute couture dresses, so I can only pick one and buy it.
....”
This kind of high-end dress is generally not cheap. It is usually worn once when attending an event and is rarely worn a second time, so it is not cost-effective to spend money on it.
Even in later generations, most of the haute couture dresses worn by actresses on red carpets or other events were borrowed from brands, and few people would have the luxury to spend their own money to buy them.
At this time, except for one international star, the status and influence of mainland female celebrities were far less high than those of later generations. Let alone signing contracts and cooperation with those internationally renowned luxury brands, it was very difficult to borrow a high-end dress to participate in an event.
After the release of "My Father and Mother" in later generations, Zhang Ziyi, who became famous, was taken to Berlin to participate in the film festival by Lao Mouzi. She wore a "red bellyband" on the red carpet. In addition to attracting attention and attracting attention,
Isn’t it embarrassing and helpless to find it difficult to borrow a luxury brand haute couture dress?
Yu Feihong curled his lips and said: "It's not like I don't have a dress, you shouldn't spend this wasted money..."
Unknowingly, Liu Hao had walked up behind Yu Feihong, hugged her from behind, nibbled her earlobe, and said a little Versace: "It's just a dress. It doesn't cost much, just a few hundred thousand."
That’s all…”
"It's only a few hundred thousand. I can't even earn that much from a movie..."
Liu Hao arched his head slightly, smelled her body fragrance, which was refreshing, and said with a smile: "I said, it's hard to buy you happiness, as long as you are happy, now I only spend hundreds of thousands to buy you a dress that can make you happy."
If you are happy, I think it is a very good deal..."
Yu Feihong did not stop Liu Hao's mischief, and said with a smile: "If you don't mind the money, you can invest more in my "Love Has Afterlife"..."
"Well...."
Liu Hao quickly changed the subject and said with a smile: "Don't try it on in front of the mirror. It is very beautiful and suits you. I have measured your figure inch by inch with my own hands. It must fit you very well. If you like it, just put it on. Anyway, wait
We're going to the movie premiere next time."
"Well...I have to change clothes now, so you go out first..." Yu Feihong blushed and broke away from Liu Hao's arms, pushing Liu Hao out of the bedroom.
"What? We are an old married couple. How many times have we been honest with each other? What is there to say to others..."
"Who is an old couple with you..." Yu Feihong pushed Liu Hao out of the bedroom and locked the door directly.
Just when Liu Hao was about to find the key, Yu Feihong opened the door again and pulled Liu Hao in again with a slightly blushing face.
"Don't get me wrong, this dress is a bit difficult to put on. I need help..."
"Beautiful lady, I'm glad to serve you..." Liu Hao chuckled, thinking about women, you are always so duplicitous, I know I haven't fed you...
After being affectionate again for dozens of minutes, and after helping each other tidy up each other's dresses, Liu Hao drove Yu Feihong to attend the premiere of the movie "Lonely Sandbank" starring the two.
When Liu Hao and Yu Feihong arrived at the premiere, Han Sanye and Brother Liu Hao had arrived earlier and had been entertaining the guests who came to support them for a long time.
Mr. Han was having a lively chat with someone. When he saw Liu Hao, he pulled Liu Hao with a smile and introduced the person to Liu Hao.
Help Liu Hao expand his network of contacts.
"This is Mr. Zhang Heping, the general manager of Forbidden City Film Company..."
After Han Sanye introduced him, Liu Hao pretended to be very surprised, held hands and said flattered: "It's a great honor to meet you. I like the TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luo Guo" and "Enjoyed" that you organized and created very much.
I don’t know how many times I’ve read it…”
Seeing Liu Hao's humble and polite look, Zhang Heping said with a smile: "Young people are very good at talking. It's very good. "Love Through Time" produced by your company is very interesting. This movie is also excellent. Young and promising people
, I couldn’t compare to you back then..."
Liu Hao immediately complimented and said: "No way, it's just that the boy is lucky and has more opportunities. You have accumulated a lot..."
After talking and complimenting each other for a while, both sides could feel the kindness released by the other.
Why is Forbidden City Pictures boss Zhang Heping so friendly? Apart from the fact that he has a close relationship with Mr. Han and knows that the Beijing Film Studio behind Mr. Han has already invested in Liu Hao's film company and plans to focus on cultivating Liu Hao, there is another reason.
.
That is the movie "Red Lover" that Ye Sandai is currently filming.
The original investor of the movie "Red Lovers" was Forbidden City Pictures. If Liu Hao had not brought in the Huayi Brothers to co-invest, then all the investment in this movie would have been handled by Forbidden City Pictures.
The current additional investment in this film has exceeded 30 million. With the current sluggish film market, it is basically impossible to recover the capital.
There is a high probability that you will lose tens of millions.
Forbidden City Pictures is not as well-funded as Huayi Brothers. Although a loss of more than 10 million on a movie will not seriously damage the vitality, it will still be a bit strained, and may even make Zhang Heping unable to perform his position as general manager.
secure.
But now that Huayi Brothers has invested half of it, the pressure has been reduced by half, and the loss can only be a few million at most.
Even the gossip that Zhang Heping heard was that Huayi Brothers were bothered by countless additional investments just because they invested in this movie, so they blamed Liu Hao, angrily sold their shares in Liu Hao's record company, and finally chose to settle with Liu Hao.
Liu Hao parted ways.
Uh... misunderstood.
Therefore, the kindness released by Zhang Heping was apologetic.
Liu Hao showed kindness to him because he was not interested in drinking, but because of one person.
Zhang Heping said with a smile: "I hope that in the future, our Forbidden City Pictures can have the opportunity to cooperate with you and your company..."
"I'm also looking forward to it. I believe that opportunities for cooperation will appear soon..." Liu Hao replied with a smile.
There was a tacit understanding between the two parties. Zhang Heping nodded with satisfaction and pushed the obedient man behind him, who stood like a minion, in front of him.
"He is a promising young man in our company. His name is Feng Xiaoan. He is a director. You are both young people. Maybe you will have something in common..."
Liu Hao had already broken up with the Huayi Brothers and planned to return for revenge in the future, so based on the memories of later generations, Liu Hao conducted an in-depth study of the Huayi Brothers.
In later generations, Huayi Brothers were able to emerge as a sudden force and break out in the cruel film market. There were two very key figures, one was Wang Jinghua and the other was Feng Xiaoan.
Now that Wang Jinghua is his manager, her management company is deeply involved with him, almost tied together. It is almost impossible to poach people, so Liu Hao began to "take action" on another key person.
Liu Hao asked Mr. Han for help and asked him to make an introduction, which led to this meeting.
After saying a few polite words to Zhang Heping to end the topic, Liu Hao found a slightly remote place to chat with Feng Xiaoan.
After a brief chat about familiar movie topics, Liu Hao said straight to the point: "I appreciate you very much. You also know that my elder brother and I have just established our own film company, and we especially need talents like you.
, so I sincerely invite you to my company..."
"Are you trying to poach me?" Feng Xiaoan's face did not show the joy Liu Hao wanted. He was slightly surprised and then became hesitant and difficult to make a decision.
Liu Hao nodded and asked: "Do you have any scruples? Do you think my film company is not as good as the Forbidden City Pictures where you are currently working? I admit that my film company is not comparable now, but now
It does not represent the future. Let me tell you a secret secretly. Beijing Film Studio has already invested in my film company. Mr. Han is optimistic about me and will take care of me in the future and focus on cultivating me..."
Pulling Mr. Han's tiger skin and starting to pretend to be powerful, Feng Xiaoan still looked very hesitant.
Liu Hao was a little puzzled. After staring at his face for a long time, he suddenly guessed the reason.
Liu Hao suddenly laughed, and after laughing a few times, he asked: "Is there someone like me who discovered that you are a talent and tried to poach you after getting in contact with you..."
Feng Xiaoan glanced at Liu Hao, nodded, and then slowly said: "Mr. Xiao Wang from Huayi Brothers also contacted me. He is very optimistic about me and wants to poach me..."
Huayi Brothers' Wang Xiaowang and Feng Xiaoan are both brothers from the big courtyard. It is normal for them to have contact. But what Liu Hao didn't expect was that the movie "Party A and Party B" has not been released yet, and Feng Xiaoan's value has not been reflected.
, they will move so quickly.
After being surprised and silent for a while, Liu Hao asked again: "If they poach you, they should provide you with very good treatment, so can you tell me how much treatment they will give you?"
Feng Xiaoan said happily: "800,000 yuan per year, and there will be remuneration and dividends for every movie made..."
Looking at Feng Xiaoan's proud look, Liu Hao could see that he was very satisfied with this treatment.
Also, after the later movie "Party A and Party B" was released and became a huge success, rewards began to be given based on merit. As the director, Feng Xiaoan received a dividend of 1.2 million from this movie, which made him overjoyed. From this point on,
It can be seen that Feng Xiaoan's treatment at this time was really not high.
He is currently working at Forbidden City Pictures, and he earns half of it, let alone 800,000 yuan a year. When there are no film and television projects, he gets half of it.
In the memories of later generations, Huayi Brothers and Feng Xiaoan finally parted ways due to "unequal sharing of spoils." From this, Liu Hao can see that Feng Xiaoan is a very greedy person.
Feng Xiaoan spoke generously about the treatment given by Huayi Brothers, and the meaning was very obvious.
If you want to poach me, you have to pay more.
It doesn't matter if Liu Hao adds more money, after all, Feng Xiaoan is still very "good value for money" at this time. As long as he can take away the luck of Huayi Brothers, everything will be fine.
Liu Hao suddenly sneered a few times, shook his head and said: "Eight hundred thousand a year is really a generous sum. Director Feng, do you think you are worth the price?"
These words made Feng Xiaoan feel very unhappy, but it was difficult to refute. After all, his masterpiece "Party A and Party B" had not yet been released, and he had no confidence in his heart.
Liu Hao changed the topic and continued: "I think you are worth it, very worth it. If it were me, I would be very willing to give you this price, but I won't pay this price. I will give you a better price, because you
The price is much more than this, you deserve more..."
Feng Xiaoan's eyes lit up and he asked eagerly: "Then you poach me, how much money are you prepared to pay?"
Liu Hao smiled and stretched out one finger, which soon became two.
"Not counting the remuneration and dividends from film projects, how can we get two million a year..."
Feng Xiaoan looked in disbelief and said with a trembling tone: "I... am really worth so much. You can't lie to me..."
Liu Hao shook his head and said with a very confident smile: "You don't think you are worth so much, but I think you are. I was lucky enough to watch the new film "Party A and Party B" directed by you in advance from Mr. Han. It's
A very interesting movie, I like it very much. I laughed a lot at the end of the movie. I believe the audience will also like it, and it will be a hit at the box office...
The success of a movie depends crucially on the director, and this movie proves your ability..."
"So what kind of box office do you think this movie will achieve?" Feng Xiaoan asked.
Liu Hao stretched out three fingers, "It won't be less than 30 million!"
"How about this, let's make a bet. If the box office is more than 30 million, it means I have a good eye for pearls, so you have to sign a contract with me. If the box office is less than 30 million, you have not shown your due value. I
You made a mistake in judgment. As punishment, I will still sign a contract with you for two million a year..."
Liu Hao said and stretched out his hand.
"This can be possible..."
Feng Xiaoan replied with a smile and was about to agree, but suddenly reacted, "I almost fell into your trap. No matter how much the movie's box office is, I will sign a contract with you anyway..."
Liu Hao smiled and said that was what he meant, as if he was determined to win.
The signing treatment provided by Liu Hao has far exceeded the existing market price. For a director like Feng Xiaoan, even if the movie "Party A and Party B" is a hit, it is usually difficult for him to get this treatment.
He can only get this treatment if he continues to produce several blockbuster movies.
But Liu Hao's generosity has made him no longer think like this. He thinks that he is the gold buried in the sand, a horse that has been favored by Bole. Before his movie was released, someone wanted to poach him with such a high salary. Then
After a movie is released and becomes a success, someone will surely be willing to bid higher.
He has no doubt that the movie "Party A and Party B" will be successful. After all, this movie has the hard work of Han Sanye and countless other people, and it is impossible for it to fail.
Then why should I wait a few days so that I can have more chips to fight for benefits after the movie is released?
The snipe and the clam are fighting for the fishermen's profit. Now that Huayi Brothers and Liu Hao want to poach themselves at a high price, how about they get the best of both worlds and wait for the price?
Once some people are aroused to be greedy, they tend to become more greedy.
