"This is the contract, this is the check, as long as you sign it, then our Xinghai Entertainment Company will take over your agency contract..."
Andre smiled and took out a check and contract from his briefcase and pushed it in front of Bruce Lee:
"As for your contract with Fox Film Company, you don't need to come forward, we will solve it for you..."
For a young actor who is not yet famous, Bruce Lee's value can be said to be zero.
Except for a few guest appearances in foreign films last year, Bruce Lee has basically been doing action guidance work in the past two years, rather than acting.
But in fact, Bruce Lee's most powerful thing is his kung fu.
Only by showing his self-created Jeet Kune Do kung fu through movies can this be the embodiment of Bruce Lee's value.
Whether it's Fist of Fury or films such as The Crossing of the River, they are all his take-off works.
It's a pity that he died young, otherwise, the influence of the Kung Fu superstar would have been greater, and the influence of the four words of Chinese Kung Fu on the world would have been more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Looking at the string of zeros on the check, Bruce Lee was in a daze.
Is it that easy to get two million US dollars?
Just sign?
"You can also ask a lawyer to look at the contract. It's okay. We are sincere and patient enough!"
Although Andre didn't quite understand why the boss valued the thin man in front of him so much, he still obeyed the order obediently.
Because it turns out that even if everyone doesn’t understand what the boss said, the boss still proves to be powerful in the end.
Upon hearing this, Bruce Lee nodded and agreed. He would first find a lawyer to read the contract, and then sign the contract if there was no problem.
One day later, in the same place, Bruce Lee signed the contract and got the check.
Twentieth Century Fox quickly received Bruce Lee's termination payment.
This matter soon passed.
When Bruce Lee entered Xinghai Entertainment, he was not immediately arranged to film. Instead, he was arranged to study acting at the Southern California Film School.
Because Zhou Jimin had watched the other party's movies, he knew that Bruce Lee's acting skills were still very immature at this time.
In other words, I have no acting skills.
In fact, Bruce Lee was already a child star before entering 20th Century Fox.
After signing the contract with Fox, I immediately started acting training, but it didn't last long, and then I starred in The Green Hornet.
Therefore, at this time, there is no need to directly let him film.
Bruce Lee, who was sitting in the classroom, was completely confused.
Spend two million dollars to let him come to class?
Is that boss sick?
But he soon knew if he was sick.
Throughout the first half of 1969, PHS was shipping large amounts of products around the world.
The price dropped from 2099 to 1599.
Consumers were collectively excited.
Many high-imitation mobile phones that have just emerged have once again died on the beach because of this wave of price reduction promotions.
Even those who didn't die were still gritting their teeth and enduring it.
There is no way, no matter in terms of mobile phone quality or price, no matter in terms of company strength or other aspects, PHS lags behind other high-imitation mobile phone companies.
Under such circumstances, the companies that have not yet gone bankrupt are relying on the capital behind them to persevere.
Although PHS does not monopolize the market, it is a de facto monopoly.
Alex and others had been secretly rejoicing throughout the first half of the year.
Fortunately, they exited early. Otherwise, if they continued to grit their teeth and persevere, they would only lose more money now.
The PHS company has gone completely crazy!
There is only one PHS mobile phone in the global market, and no other mobile phone brand can survive more than half a year.
After entering the summer vacation, starting from July, the PHS company continued to reduce prices.
One thousand and ninety-nine dollars!
Almost all consumers were shocked and speechless when they learned about this price.
Along with the sales of PHS mobile phones, in the field of games, arcade machines such as Snake are also rapidly occupying the market.
Game companies have launched several arcade machines. Although they are very expensive, they are really popular.
Many new games such as Alien Invasion entered the market, and 100,000 units were sold worldwide in just one month.
An arcade machine like this costs as much as $6,700, which is ridiculously expensive.
Ordinary middle class people don’t dare to buy it, and only wealthy families, bars, agents, etc. dare to buy such arcade machines.
However, compared to PHS's dominant position in the mobile phone market, the arcade's position in the gaming field is a bit embarrassing.
Because there are too many competitors in this field, and technically speaking, the threshold is not very high.
Therefore, it is impossible to form a dominant position.
Of course, by developing more games, expanding the team, and working hard, we will eventually get there.
In addition to the game company on the southern island, there is also a game company on the Bald Eagle side.
The two companies are both cooperative and competitive.
There has not yet been a situation where the left and right hands are fighting each other, but in the future, after the market is saturated, such a situation will soon form.
In July, Bruce Lee also returned to the southern island, preparing to shoot two movies.
Brother Tangshan was the first to turn on the phone, followed by Jingwu Sect.
Zhou Jimin happened to be accompanying Xu Mei and the others on the island, and by the way, he taught Zhou Qingyue how to sing.
The latter will release another album early next year, so it needs to be prepared in advance.
"Boss, Bruce Lee is filming here on the island. Do you want him to come and meet you?"
Liang Wenfeng also returned to the southern island. He was originally on vacation.
I learned from Li Yuzhu that Zhou Jimin was also on the island, so I took the initiative to contact him.
"No, I'll arrange for my friend to go take a look then."
The vest is Michael. I personally went to see Bruce Lee just out of curiosity.
At the same time, I just want to relax.
Children like to run around, so take them out for a walk.
"I just received a call. There is a movie that your father and I invested in. It was shot here. It is about Wuhan University. Do you want to go and see it?"
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Jimin smiled at Xiaoyue and the others and asked.
The children jumped up to him in an instant and said they wanted to see it.
All of them looked very happy. It didn’t matter what they were going to see. What was important was that their father was willing to take them there.
Qin Jingru asked in surprise:
"Jimin, when did you invest in movies?"
With the expansion of their business territory, Qin Jingru and the others no longer have much idea of how many industries they own.
On the southern island, the publishing industry giant Qihang Publishing House is their family's sole proprietorship. The newspaper industry giant Apple Daily, the toy industry giant, the comic industry giant, etc. are all their family's industries.
In recent years, a building in the core business district of Central, Hong Kong Island has also been owned by their family.
This property has not yet been completed. A small part of it was built last year, and it should be topped out by the end of this year.
There is no way, this property has high floors, higher standards, and an investment of more than 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars.
The specific amount of investment depends on the price growth in recent years.
After all, it is a new landmark on Hong Kong Island and even the tallest building in the world, so it is naturally unique.
The higher the building goes to high-rise buildings, the more difficult it becomes, and the requirements for technology and other aspects are higher.
So the speed is slower, which is normal.
There are so many industries that Qin Jingru and the others have lost count, but they are more impressed by the entertainment industry.
Because Zhou Qingyue in the family is a singer, she pays more attention to these aspects.
What's more, they also like to watch movies and TV series.
"I suddenly remembered it while watching a movie some time ago, but I haven't had time to tell you yet."
Zhou Jimin smiled and explained.
The children couldn't wait any longer and were about to go outside.
With so many children going out together, several cars are needed just to pick them up.
Therefore, Zhou Jimin directly asked someone to help him transform a super luxurious mobile home.
Whenever everyone goes out together, especially in the city, they usually drive this car.
Of course, if you want to leave the southern island to visit other cities, then take a plane.
Now Zhou Jimin's stealth plane can park directly on the villa's apron and take off and land vertically.
Anyway, this is the Peak of Victoria Peak, no one comes here, and no one can see it, so it doesn’t matter.
However, after the building in Central is built, you will probably be able to see the villas on Victoria Peak from the mid- to high-rise buildings.
Even so, it doesn't matter. Anyway, be careful when the time comes. When getting on and off the plane, just arrange a wall or a bus next to it to block the view of the building.
Xu Mei and the others were urged by the children to hurry up and get in the car, but they were helpless.
The RV was big enough. After getting in, they all ran to the big bed and jumped up and down on the sofa in the living room.
In short, there is never a moment of silence.
Raising a baby is not easy.
A bodyguard was driving the car, and there were two Rolls-Royces following him. However, Zhou Jimin and the others did not take the Rolls-Royce, but a RV.
Original Time and Space, Brother Tangshan is a martial arts movie with a very low cost and a very simple and crude plot, but it is also very passionate.
The plot is very simple. The protagonist Zheng Chaoan was sent to Southeast Asia by his mother to work as an ice-making worker. He was often bullied by local bullies and supervisors. Moreover, because it was discovered that the factory was used to make ice-making products, his co-workers disappeared mysteriously. As a result, Zheng Chaoan could not suppress his sense of justice.
, a story that completely overturned the factory.
It is a very simple and monotonous storyline, with more martial arts scenes.
But in Zhou Jimin, the plot is much richer.
First of all, we need to explain clearly why Zheng Chaoan was sent to Southeast Asia by his mother? Secondly, we need to enrich the emotional lines of the male and female protagonists. It cannot be too simple and crude, nor can it become a Qiong Yao drama.
In addition to the rich plot, the investment cannot be too simple. The shooting locations, lens use, etc. must all be based on the current best level.
In fact, in this era, the most powerful place for movies is not Hollywood, but Europe.
The art films in Europe are really amazing.
But it's of no use. After all, the entertainment properties of movies in this era are not very strong.
Many movies are simple and crude, and for Zhou Jimin, they are not interesting to watch.
According to the original time and space movie, it was to go to Southeast Asia to find a small village to shoot the movie, but Zhou Jimin directly rejected it.
It’s not easy to find a village like this on a small island in the south.
There are so many places where you can take photos in the New Territories, Yuen Long and other places.
If this is not possible, it is very simple to directly build a similar studio, and the investment is not large.
After all, you have spent two million US dollars, why don’t you want to part with other money?
Furthermore, Brother Tangshan is already an adapted version.
The reason why Zheng Chaoan was sent to work in a factory in Southeast Asia by his mother was because he asked for it and he needed to find his girlfriend.
This is a hurricane rescue movie version of saving your girlfriend.
After destroying the independent manufacturing factories in Southeast Asia, Zheng Chaoan found another clue. His girlfriend had been sent to Europe three months ago.
So, he embarked on a journey to Europe, went straight to Huanglong again, and swept away the local gangs.
Then he successfully rescued his girlfriend, but at this time, he received a letter from his mother's best friend, and his mother disappeared.
This is the last Easter egg of the movie, which is also the beginning of the plot of Brother Tangshan in the second episode.
I believe that in this era, no one can stop such a plot.
Because Hurricane Rescue stars Bruce Lee. Even if Zhou Jimin wrote the script for such a movie, I really want to see it finished.
Scripts and storyboards are all provided by Zhou Jimin.
After all, no one is more familiar with the plot of hurricane rescue than him.
Although many plots have been changed, and mobile phones have not yet appeared, international long-distance calls cannot appear at all.
Mobile phones are available in Europe, but not in Southeast Asia.
After all, in a small village, there are mobile phones, but the penetration rate of PHS is not that amazing.
Zhou Jimin and his family came to the studio in the New Territories, which is a photography base invested and built by Xinghai Entertainment Company.
In later generations, there are still many wastelands in the New Territories.
Let alone in this day and age.
Since it is our own business, when Zhou Jimin came, no one else knew about it except the producers here and the base management.
After entering the studio, Zhou Jimin just watched from a distance and did not come close to disturb Bruce Lee and the others' filming.
Not to mention, Bruce Lee’s fight scenes are very enjoyable to watch.
"Dad, is he Bruce Lee?"
Zhou Bingxu looked at Bruce Lee in the distance, watching the latter with his upper body naked and filming the fight scene over and over again. It felt strange and a bit boring.
"Yes, he is Bruce Lee. From now on, he will be an international superstar..."
Zhou Jimin had no doubt at all about Bruce Lee becoming an international superstar.
Some people are born to be protagonists.
And Bruce Lee is such a person.
Despite the original time and space, Bruce Lee died young, just like a meteor streaking across the sky.
But the traces it left around the world have far-reaching consequences.
In this life, Zhou Jimin believes that the other party will go further.
After all, the Tangshan Brother movie that started out already has the attributes of an international superstar.
At that time, it will not only be shown in the southern islands, but also in Bald Eagle, South America, Europe and other places.
Zhou Jimin even took the film to Oasis New City for screening.
