The two parties sat down and exchanged a few pleasantries before Qiong Yao preached directly.
This gave Chu Huan a bad feeling. There was a feeling of being repelled thousands of miles away in the other party's words. Although he was not as proud as Chen Hanchao before, the meaning was the same.
"I haven't met Ms. Chen yet, how could I go back?"
Although he had a bad premonition in his heart, Chu Huan still preached with a smile.
Qiong Yao waved his hands and said a little tiredly: "I already know the purpose of Mr. Chu's coming, and there is also Director Li's favor. Logically speaking, I should help Mr. Chu, but there are some things that I don't want to do.
It’s okay, so I’m really sorry about what happened this time.”
The premonition came true, Qiong Yao really rejected herself.
"If Ms. Chen has any difficulties, you can tell her and I will find a way to solve it. Now Ms. Chen has rejected me without even mentioning the conditions. Is there any non-commercial factor in this?
"
Now that Jiahe has found Chen Hanchao, it is possible to find Qiong Yao.
Is Jiahe's power just so strong in Taiwan?
Even Qiong Yao has to listen to them?
Isn't this a bit illogical?
Also, even if Jiahe and Chu Tianxiao knew about their coming to Taiwan, how could they accurately predict that what they were looking for was Chen Hanchao and Qiong Yao?
When Chu Huan was talking to Qiong Yao, his mind had already turned over and over, analyzing the problems of his visit to Taiwan this time.
Qiong Yao shook his head, obviously not wanting to explain these things to Chu Huan, but said a little tiredly: "That's it, I'm sorry for letting Mr. Chu spend two days in Taiwan, but it's a matter of cooperation.
, that’s it for now!”
Woman, can you not let people guess?
Isn’t it good to speak out openly about something?
Now he refuses so simply, even if Chu Huan has a delicate heart, it is impossible to guess the reason why Qiong Yao refuses.
Then let alone any countermeasures.
If Qiong Yao couldn't get through, Chu Huan really couldn't think of any other way in Taiwan, so after thinking about it, Chu Huan still wanted to fight for it.
So he continued to preach.
"Ms. Chen, although our Black and White Imaging has just been established in Hong Kong, we have already developed our own theater company and will build our own studio in the future. Black and White Imaging is confident that we can grow..."
Before Chu Huan could finish speaking, Qiong Yao waved her hand to signal Chu Huan not to say any more.
"Mr. Chu, how the black and white image develops is your company's business. Since this matter will definitely not have the results you want, then don't force it, let it be as it is!"
After saying that, Qiong Yao sat back down in his seat, put on his glasses, and looked like he was seeing off guests.
When Chu Huan saw this, he knew that he would not get any answer he wanted from this woman.
He turned around and took Lin Qingxia, who had not figured out the situation, out of Qiong Yao's office.
"Sorry, it seems I can't help you get an autograph this time!"
After leaving Firebird Pictures, Chu Huan preached to Lin Qingxia.
Lin Qingxia hurriedly shook her head and said: "What are you talking about now, Brother Huan, Qiong Yao has rejected your cooperation, what should you do next?"
Chu Huan smiled bitterly and said: "There is no good way. We can only go back to Xiangjiang first. As for the market in Taiwan, we can only think of ways slowly."
Seeing Chu Huan's expression, Lin Qingxia seemed a little at a loss, and finally comforted her: "Brother Huan, you must be a very capable person to start your own film company at such a young age. I believe you will be very successful in the future.
.”
"When the time comes, these people who reject you will definitely regret it very much!"
Hearing what Lin Qingxia said, Chu Huan smiled and said: "Qiong Yao is your idol. Today she rejected me. If I succeed in the future, aren't you worried that I will target her?"
Seeing Chu Huan smile, Lin Qingxia laughed too, and said, "Qiong Yao is just an idol, but Brother Huan, you are my friend. Of course I am on my friend's side!"
Chu Huan's depressed mood suddenly became happy when Lin Qingxia said this. Fortunately, he met normal people, not the kind of rice circle of later generations.
If we are in the fan circle, let alone friends, we are family. If you dare to say something bad about my idol, I will have a falling out with you.
"Now that things are like this, let's have a good two days in Taiwan." Chu Huan temporarily put aside the depression in his heart.
Although there were failures during this trip to Taiwan, there were also gains. I got to know Lin Qingxia and got the copyright of Gu Long's novel. This is also a very good thing for black and white images.
But now we have the copyright of Gu Long's novel, but we still lack a director and actors.
Although I haven’t seen many martial arts films of this era, I also know from sporadic news in later generations that the people who really promoted Gu Long’s films in this era were director Chu Yuan, actor Ti Lung, and screenwriter Ni Wei.
Ni Yu is easier to handle. He is just a part-time worker and can cooperate with any company. As long as he is given money, he can write scripts.
But Chu Yuan and Di Long are both Shaw's treasures, and it's not that easy to poach them both.
The most important thing is that now I and Shaw Brothers are in the honeymoon period of their cooperation, and I can no longer poach people from Shaw Brothers, otherwise I will really think that Shao Laoliu is a mess.
That's how it is when doing things, one trouble after another always comes, and what the person doing the work has to do is to solve them one trouble after another.
Just when Chu Huan and Lin Qingxia were about to get in the car and leave,
Qiong Yao's secretary suddenly came out at this time.
"Mr. Chu, please wait a moment!"
Chu Huan and Lin Qingxia both turned around at the same time, and Chu Huan asked, "What's the matter?"
Qiong Yao's secretary just expressed humility to Chu Huan, then looked at Lin Qingxia and said excitedly: "Ms. Lin, Ms. Qiong Yao is very optimistic about your image and wants to ask if you are interested in joining the entertainment industry.
Circle, if you have this idea, we at Firebird Pictures would very much like to sign you!"
Chu Huan raised his eyebrows slightly, showing an expression of displeasure. Qiong Yao, this woman, is very unscrupulous. She poached her own people in front of her, and sent a damn secretary.
Who are you looking down on?
Lin Qingxia was also slightly stunned. She didn't expect Qiong Yao to want to sign her?
It is undeniable that Lin Qingxia was very happy when she received this invitation. Qiong Yao's movies have great influence in Taiwan. If she can agree to Qiong Yao, it means that she will definitely become popular.
.
But after being happy, Qiong Yao saw Chu Huan standing next to him, and then said to Qiong Yao's secretary: "I'm sorry, I have no idea of entering the entertainment industry now, and I don't want to make a movie."
After finishing speaking, he smiled at Chu Huan and said, "Brother Huan, let's go!"
Qiong Yao's secretary hurriedly said: "Miss Lin, can you leave your contact information? Our company is really sincere about signing you!"
Lin Qingxia waved her hand and said: "No need!"
After saying that, he got into the car first.
Seeing this, Chu Huan also got into the car. Chen Hua drove away without caring about Qiong Yao's secretary standing outside the car.
In the car, Chu Huan smiled and asked Lin Qingxia: "Do you know what you just rejected?"
Lin Qingxia smiled nonchalantly and said: "Never mind her, I have to be loyal anyway!"
Chu Huan was amused by Lin Qingxia's little girl posture.
On the other side, Qiong Yao's secretary looked at Chu Huan and Lin Qingxia's leaving figures, stamped her feet, and returned to the company.
"Lin Qingxia rejected our company's invitation!"
After arriving at Qiong Yao's office, he directly told Qiong Yao what happened just now.
When Chu Huan and Qiong Yao were chatting before, Qiong Yao also specifically asked about Lin Qingxia's situation, so he knew that Lin Qingxia was from Taipei.
"It doesn't matter, the little girl must be thin-skinned. I just rejected Chu Huan, so she is naturally embarrassed to agree to our invitation in front of Chu Huan. After Chu Huan leaves Taipei, we can go to her again.
Oh, I don’t believe there is a girl in Taiwan who can refuse our company’s invitation.”
The first time he saw Lin Qingxia, Qiong Yao had already fallen in love with this girl, thinking that she was very similar to him when he was young. This was a natural and heart-stirring beauty.
Qiong Yao really wanted the other party to play his role.
If Chu Huan knew Qiong Yao's thoughts, he would definitely spit in her face.
How big of a face do you have to have to think that eighteen-year-old Lin Qingxia looks like you?
The secretary thought about it for a while and said nothing.
When the secretary walked out of the room, Qiong Yao picked up the phone on the table, dialed a number, and said, "I have rejected Chu Huan."
Then without saying a few words to the other party, he hung up the phone.
Soon the news reached the ears of Xiangjiang Jiahe.
After Zou Wenhuai hung up the phone, there was nothing but a satisfied smile on his face.
Seeing this, He Guanchang smiled and said: "So, Chu Huan's trip to Taiwan has failed?"
Zou Wenhuai laughed and said, "Isn't this what is destined?"
It can be seen that Zou Wenhuai was very happy about his failed trip to Chuhuantai Island.
He Guanchang said with a smile: "Thankfully Chu Tianxiao reminded us, otherwise, we would not have known that Chu Huan went to Taiwan. Chu Huan has some abilities. If he can successfully get in touch with Taiwan this time, we will
It’s even more troublesome.”
Zou Wenhuai said: "You can rest assured now. This person is still too young. He thinks things are a bit simplistic. He thinks that he can solve the Taiwan distribution issue by just going to Taiwan. If this is the case, the film company in Xiangjiang
That’s all they did.”
He Guanchang did not comment on Zou Wenhuai's words because he clearly remembered Zou Wenhuai's reaction when the two of them had just received a call from Chu Tianxiao.
Zou Wenhuai was a little worried at that time.
The fact that the movie "Dragon Tiger Fight" broke the one million box office box office was a big blow to Zou Wenhuai, and the root cause of this blow was that the box office of this movie was not really a big hit.
If the movie is a box office hit, Zou Wenhuai won't worry anymore.
Because if it breaks out, then in the future, Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long will be competing against Li Xiaolong. Zou Wenhuai is extremely confident in Li Xiaolong and believes that no one can defeat Li Xiaolong.
But "Dragon Tiger" has a box office of over one million, which really makes people scratch their heads, because in this case, Hung Kam-bao and Cheng Long are competing against Golden Harvest's Chinese films.
Chu Huan and Shao Yifu talked about Jiahe before, and Zou Wenhuai himself understood it very well.
I know where my company's weakness lies. The mid-to-low-end movies have been suppressed by Shaw Brothers. If a black-and-white movie comes out now, it's a shame.
Then Jiahe's situation becomes even more dangerous.
Although Jiahe was only established two years ago, Jiahe accepted everything from Cathay Pacific, which resulted in Jiahe’s plate being too big. Li Xiaolong alone was not enough.
There is still a need for a steady stream of fresh blood, but now he has given away two people who could potentially become Jiahe's fresh blood to Black and White Image.
This situation is just adding insult to injury for Jiahe.
Now in the local market of Xiangjiang, the rise of black and white images is unstoppable, so Zou Wenhuai can only turn his attention to other markets.
But now Chu Huan is moving too fast. The movie "Dragon and Tiger Fight" has just succeeded in Hong Kong, and he has already begun to worry about overseas markets.
This had to make Zou Wenhuai very energetic.
Therefore, Zou Wenhuai must have his own strategy, which is to do everything possible to prevent Chu Huan's plan from succeeding.
So Zou Wenhuai immediately used his connections in Taiwan to investigate Li Hanxiang's situation in Taiwan.
During the investigation, Zou Wenhuai discovered Chen Hanchao.
So Zou Wenhuai personally called Chen Hanchao, and Chen Hanchao rejected Chu Huan.
As for Qiong Yao, Zou Wenhuai had no choice.
So Zou Wenhuai told Chu Tianxiao about this matter.
Although the two belong to different industries and usually don't have much contact, they have a common enemy - Chu Huan!
The alliance was formed instantly.
But Zou Wenhuai couldn't control Qiong Yao and let Qiong Yao reject Chu Huan. Chu Tianxiao, an outsider in the entertainment industry, even less had this ability.
However, Chu Tianxiao still has his own other channels.
Chu Tianxiao has never relaxed in Chu Huan's investigation, so he knows more things that other outsiders don't know.
For example, what happened between Chu Huan and Xin Yi'an.
So Chu Tianxiao found the Four-Eyed Dragon.
Although the Four-Eyed Dragon and Lin Jiang are not fighting each other, it is undeniable that Lin Jiang represents Xin Ngee'an. Previously, Chu Huan took Bao Tianming away in Lin Jiang's territory in an extremely strong manner.
This is a blow to the prestige of Lin Jiang and Xin Ngee An.
However, the Four-Eyed Dragon only acts after others plan, and will not take the initiative to deal with things that it is not sure about, so there has never been a new problem between Chu Huan and Xin Ngley An.
Now that Chu Tianxiao has taken the initiative to find the Four-Eyed Dragon, the Four-Eyed Dragon will not refuse anything that can bring bad luck to Chu Huan.
So Si-Eyed Dragon immediately contacted his father Xiang Xie in Taiwan!
Xiang Xie's relationship network in Taiwan is very complicated. Although Qiong Yao's influence means that she does not have to worry about Xiang Xie's threats, Qiong Yao herself does not want to have a falling out with Xiang Xie because of this matter.
Or for a Chu Huan whom I don't even know.
So this also led to Qiong Yao's rejection of Chu Huan.
The whole thing was so complicated that no matter how smart Chu Huan was, it would be impossible for him to analyze these things clearly without investigation.
"The situation at Shao Laoliu is a bit strange. I got news that Shaw Brothers has already started working on the overseas release of "Dragon Tiger Fight"."
He Guanchang reminded.
At this time, the fact that Shaw Brothers was operating the overseas distribution of "Dragon Tiger Fight" was still at an undisclosed stage, and only the executives of Black and White Pictures and Shaw Brothers knew about it.
But now Jiahe has received the news, which can only mean that Jiahe has an insider in Shaw Brothers.
In fact, this is also true, as can be seen from the case of Li Xiaolong.
At that time, Li Xiaolong returned to Hong Kong with the original intention of joining Shaw Brothers. He wrote a letter and passed it through Xue Jiayan's mother to the two of them and handed it into the hands of Shao Yifu.
In the letter, Li Xiaolong put forward two conditions: first, the salary for each film was US$10,000, and the shooting time should not exceed sixty days; second, the script must be satisfactory to him, otherwise he would not work.
After Yifu Shaw saw such conditions, he immediately convened his new team for discussion. Attending the meeting were Yuan Qiufeng, director of Shaw Brothers' production department, Dong Qianli, director of screenwriting department, Chen Tongmin, director of publicity department, Yi Wen, manager of planning department, etc.
people.
These people are all the team that Shao Yifu reorganized after Zou Wenhuai left Shaw Brothers.
At the meeting, Shao Yifu bluntly said that Li Xiaolong's conditions were too harsh and ridiculed: "This Li Xiaolong must be crazy. What conditions are these? It's a sky-high price!"
At the same time, Shao Yifu said to Yuan Qiufeng: "Yuan Qiufeng, you should reply to this Li Xiaolong now. Our salary is between 3,000 and 9,000 per film, but the shooting time cannot be limited by him. He should know that he is just an actor. As for
The quality of the script cannot be decided by him alone. If he is interested, he will interview it; if he is not interested, he will reject it."
Just such an internal high-level meeting quickly reached Jiahe's ears, and Zou Wenhuai also used this matter to sign Li Xiaolong.
At this time, there are some people on both sides who "are in Cao's camp and their hearts are in Han".
The intelligence war was also quite intense.
Therefore, the fact that Shaw Brothers wanted to run "Dragon and Tiger Fight" naturally reached Jiahe's ears.
Zou Wenhuai's good mood suddenly disappeared, and he snorted coldly: "Shao Yifu wants to use the black and white image as a sharp sword in his hand to attack our Jiahe."
Speaking of this, Zou Wenhuai suddenly said angrily: "Can't Shao Laoliu see that the black and white image is an immature wolf?"
He Guanchang said worriedly: "Now our box office in other places has been suppressed by Shaw Brothers. If black and white images appear again, our company's situation will be even more dangerous."
"Even if there is a fight between the two companies in the future, what I'm worried about is that by then our company will..."
Zou Wenhuai waved his hand and said coldly: "I will not let this happen. Don't forget that we still have Li Xiaolong. As long as Li Xiaolong is still in our company, Jiahe will not collapse!"
He Guanchang said: "This is the truth, but in the small and medium-cost film market, we have indeed become their weak point in attacking us, so we must find a way."
Zou Wenhuai pondered for a moment and said: "Achang, please contact the various film companies in Xiangjiang immediately and tell them that Jiahe intends to support the development of Xiangjiang's film industry. If any company needs funds, our company can inject it and share the equity."
Half, at the same time, the company will also provide them with support in various aspects such as studio, actors, screening, and distribution."
Zou Wenhuai wants to expand the concept of his satellite company.
"I don't believe that quantity can't produce quality!"
He Guanchang worried: "But if this is the case, the initial investment will be too great, and I am worried about the company's financial situation."
Zou Wenhuai waved his hand and said: "There is no way around this. If we cannot gain a firm foothold in the mid-to-bottom film market, it will be a devastating blow to us when Li Xiaolong goes to Hollywood to develop in the future."
He Guanchang also understood this truth, thought about it for a moment and said nothing.
Then Zou Wenhuai smiled and said: "And this is not the only way we can do it. During this time, Achang, please go to Europe and the United States and use our previous relationship to buy some Western films. In this case, you can also borrow these films to work with Shaw Brothers, Black and White
Let’s fight for the images!”
He Guanchang's eyes immediately shined. Movies in the European and American markets did not pay attention to the Southeast Asian film market at this time, and distribution rights were also very cheap.
If they can get more Western films, it will be a very good thing for them.
Zou Wenhuai continued to add: "Also, we must try our best to discover potential new stars in Hong Kong. The things mentioned before are all temporary measures. If we have a few more actors like Li Xiaolong in our hands, then Shaw Brothers, Black and White Film
It won’t be a problem anymore.”
He Guanchang nodded and said: "I understand."
...
Chu Tianxiao also received a call from Four-Eyed Dragon.
"Axiao, this incident happened thanks to you. If you hadn't reminded me in time, I wouldn't have known about Chu Huan's trip to Taiwan."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Tianxiao praised Chen Xiaodao.
Chen Xiao hurriedly said: "As long as it can help the chairman, it's good."
"If I can help, of course I can help." Chu Tianxiao was in a really good mood at this time. This was one of the few times when he saw Chu Huan in a depressed state.
For Chu Tianxiao, at this time, the scale of Black and White Video and Shanhai Cinemas founded by Chu Huan was just right, enough for Chu Huan to invest a lot of money.
Chu Tianxiao had no way of deciding whether the black-and-white film would be sold for money, but he also knew that even if a film company made money from the sale, it would still need to use the funds to recycle and invest in new film shooting.
In such a process, it will take a long time for Black and White Image to recover its capital and profits.
But now, the most important thing for Chu Tianxiao is not to let Chu Huan develop new ways to make money.
Foreign distribution is the key to this.
So after learning about Chu Huan's trip to Taiwan, Chu Tianxiao immediately started looking for his allies, and the ally he chose was Jiahe Zou Wenhuai.
After learning that Zou Wenhuai had no way to influence Qiong Yao, Chu Tianxiao developed another ally, the Four-Eyed Dragon of Xin Nghe An.
Now it seems that everything is developing as I imagined.
So Chu Tianxiao was very happy.
When Chu Tianxiao is happy, Chu Ran is happy.
"Daddy, Chu Huan's appearance in Taiwan must be very exciting this time. I really want to see his expression with my own eyes."
Chu Tianxiao, who was in a good mood, smiled and said: "This is not easy. When Chu Huan comes back from Taiwan, you can go to the airport to see it!"
"Yes, I think Chu Tianxiao's expression will be very exciting when the time comes."
Chen Xiao smiled and said: "Without the support of the foreign market, Chu Huan's black and white images can only rely on the market in Xiangjiang. For black and white images, Shanhai Cinema made him invest more than 20 million, and now he wants to recover this cost.
, I’m afraid it will take a few years.”
Chu Tianxiao nodded and said: "Axiao, I don't care how you got the information, but this method is very good, keep it up!"
Chen Xiao quickly said there was no problem, but at the same time he also brought up something that made him feel a little shy.
"Chairman, I spent a lot of money to buy all my information. Now I have some..."
Chen Xiao really doesn't understand why the women he meets are all so money-loving. This is the case with the 250-year-old Rachel, and the same is true with the Cai Huiling she is looking for now.
Can't these people generate electricity for their hatred?
Chu Tianxiao frowned slightly, then recovered and said with a smile: "This is natural, you are doing things for the company, how can the company let you lose?"
"Ah Ran, I will give Ah Xiao 20,000 yuan later."
"OK!"
...
Naturally, Chu Huan didn't know what was happening in Xiangjiang now.
After having a fun day in Taiwan with Lin Qingxia, he sent Lin Qingxia home again, and then Chu Huan returned to the hotel.
"Haha, let me catch you this time!"
Chu Huan, who had just returned to the hotel, saw Gu Long waiting in the lobby.
"Brother Hua, why are you here? Why didn't you call me before you came? How long have you been waiting?"
Chu Huan laughed loudly after seeing Gu Long.
Gu Long chuckled and said, "Come on, if I had called you, you would have run away long ago."
At this point, Gu Long patted Chu Huan's shoulder affectionately and said: "You kid, do you think that after a drink and defrauding me of the copyright of my novel, everything will be fine?"
Chu Huan smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Hua, you know your own drinking capacity. With a small body like mine, if I drink like you, I probably won't be able to do anything."
Gu Long also knew that Chu Huan had other things to do when he came to Xiangjiang, so he didn't care about Chu Huan's behavior. Instead, he found it very interesting.
"How are things going?" Gu Long asked aloud: "Has the release been settled?"
Chu Huan shook his head, spread his hands, and said with a smile: "The water in Taiwan is too deep, so I haven't solved it yet. But luckily I got the copyright of your novel, Brother Hua, otherwise my trip this time would have been in vain.
"
Gu Long laughed and said: "How could it be in vain? The little girl next to you is very beautiful, even more beautiful than the heroines in my novels."
Chu Huan nodded and said: "This is true."
Gu Long LSP's sermon: "Then you have to work harder and don't let others run away."
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Don't worry!"
"Let's go, if you need anything, let's talk about it while we're drinking!" Gu Long dragged Chu Huan out and started to walk out.
Chu Huan really doesn't want to drink with Gu Long anymore. That means not drinking, but drinking his life!
Seeing that Chu Huan was unwilling to go, Gu Long said with a confident smile: "Today's drink is not for nothing. I will introduce you to a friend. With his help, the matter of your movie being released in Taiwan will be settled in minutes!"
Chu Huan's eyes lit up: "Who said I don't want to drink? I just want to tell you that I have to go back to the room to get a bottle of good wine!"
