Chapter 322: Visit the Pier

It was not until the boss of Guolian, Li Hanxiang, left with the big boss of Starlight Pictures, Wang Yuanchao, that people in Guolian realized that the big boss of Starlight Pictures was really young, tall and handsome, more handsome than many bosses.

Jiang Duqing and Wang Ling, two of the Five Phoenixes, had followed Li Hanxiang from Hong Kong to Yizhou. So the married Jiang Duqing whispered to Wang Ling:
"The boss is so young, can you take him down?"

Wang Ling blushed for a rare moment and responded shyly:
"I'm going to die, what nonsense are you talking about!"

The young Zhen Zhen had sharp ears and asked quickly:
"What are you two whispering about?"

This beauty is also one in three thousand.

When Li Hanxiang was recruiting actors for Guolian, she was the only one accepted among 3,000 applicants. Li Hanxiang selected her as "Zhen", one out of a thousand, and gave her the stage name Zhen Zhen.

[Historically, after Jiang Duqing divorced her husband Liu Jiachang (a musician), and after Zhen Zhen divorced Xie Xian (Nicholas Tse's father), Liu Jiachang and Zhen Zhen got married again. That's how the entertainment industry works.]

Wang Ling said mischievously:
"Jiang Duqing told you to pursue the boss!"

Zhen Zhen turned her head and said proudly:
"I'm sorry, I don't care much about appearance, I prefer men with great talent~"

Jiang Duqing smiled and said:
"That's right, Zhen Zhen and I are not superficial people!"

Seeing that it was ineffective to divert the trouble, Wang Ling tilted her nose and said:
"Humph, I'm ignoring you two!"

……

Wang Yuanchao's office.

As usual, make tea.

Every company, big or small, reserved the best office for him.

The boss can choose not to come, but if he comes and there is no place for him to come, how can the general managers still have face?

The boss didn't come to the scene to give orders, it was just a little hobby of his, and they even prepared everything including tea sets, tea leaves, and cigars.

What could Wang Yuanchao talk about with Li Hanxiang?
Of course it was all correct nonsense, showing concern and encouragement.

Zou Wenhuai and his team have already taken care of the content of the cooperation, so there is no need for him, the big boss, to step in.

Whether it is Golden Eagle Films or United Films, they will become members of the Starlight Pictures Alliance, which owns 49% of their shares.

Otherwise, why would Starlight Pictures give them those investments?
Is it because of the intimate physical relationship?
It should be said that it is because of the intimate physical relationship that we can get the investment.

This kind of money laundering project, even if it slips through fingers, it will still be considerable wealth.

Whether it is the Golden Eagle or the National League, they still need to produce some high-quality films.

Otherwise, you are just working for Starlight Pictures, and you may not earn as much as Starlight's executives and top stars.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be like becoming a top star and then wanting to start your own business?
If you don't have any real skills and want to be independent, you will be replaced by newcomers immediately.

With so many films being made, it is really easy to create stars.
-
After leaving Wang Yuanchao's office, Li Hanxiang followed Zou Wenhuai's assistant to Zou Wenhuai's office.

He has to pay his respects to each one of them.

Wang Yuanchao doesn't need an assistant. Unless it's a special occasion, he doesn't even need a bodyguard or a driver.

He doesn't need his assistant to remind him of his schedule as he has a good memory.

More importantly, he is alone and can go wherever he wants, which is safe. In addition to fixed meetings, companies do not know the boss's schedule, so they dare not relax. What if they are caught by the boss?
Most of the time, the boss still likes to visit various companies.

Zou Wenhuai did not ask what Boss Li Hanxiang was talking about, but said directly:
"The office for you is right next to the set. They've already gone over to set it up. I won't accompany you to take a look later."

Li Hanxiang smiled and said:
"If you really go with me, I will really feel that the League of Nations is not mine anymore!"

Zou Wenhuai glanced at it and said:
"Don't be so ungrateful! Can your League of Nations still hold out? It's only because of the elite soldiers and generals in your hands that I'm giving you such a big benefit!"

Li Hanxiang said seriously:

"I understand. Thank you for helping me. Don't worry, the League of Nations will definitely help you gain face."

Zou Wenhuai said:
"It's not about helping me, it's about proving yourself.

If you shoot well, you earn more. Whether you get a high commission or a fixed salary, it all depends on your ability!"

Li Hanxiang laughed and said:

"The boss is indeed a capable and courageous man. He is willing to share the profits with everyone! Why does he need to keep an eye on everyone every day?

Everyone is rushing forward with all their might!
Only such a powerful person can invite professionals like Mr. Zou to help manage Xingguang. "

Starlight Pictures is responsible for attracting investment (those community production companies), Guolian is responsible for production business, Starlight is responsible for publicity and distribution, and Starlight is also responsible for theaters. Guolian can choose the profit-sharing system or the minimum guarantee system, depending on Guolian’s own confidence in the work, and it is free to decide.

The profit-sharing system, as the name suggests, is that after deducting taxes and the cinema's share from the box office revenue, the rest is divided equally between the investor (the society) and the producer (Guolian) after Starlight takes the publicity and promotion costs and the investor takes the investment costs.

If Guolian invests and shoots the film itself, then Starlight Pictures will only earn the money for publicity and promotion, and all the profits will belong to Guolian!

Of course, the risks also belong to the League of Nations.

This is exactly what Li Hanxiang wants. He is very confident in his work. Although he has to work for Starlight Pictures (Starlight Pictures holds 49% of Guolian's shares), he is confident that as long as the box office is a big hit, he will definitely make a big hit, and he will earn no less than Starlight!
This is a system tailor-made for talented people!
If you have talent, you will make a lot of money.

If you have no talent, just work honestly and earn a salary.

very fair!
Zou Wenhuai did not have any doubt about Li Hanxiang's words because every word was true.

If you don't work hard, at best, you are failing your boss's expectations, and at worst, you are letting your own pocket down. Don't even bother to make money! He himself earns a share of the entire company, which is much more than these subsidiaries and the film project team!

Who in the entire Starlight Pictures is not crying out in anger right now?
I can’t guarantee what the future will be like, but I can definitely cherish the present.

The boss is generous to outside film companies and not stingy to internal film companies either.

Although the dividends from a film project are 20% of the company's share, if it is the company's own investment project, the production and production are together, and 20% is equivalent to 40% of an outside production company.

Although the film companies outside have a 51% share, they have so many people to support! When it comes to the core members of a film project, the proportion can only be lower, not higher.

More importantly, you can only make money if the outside film companies and stars are willing to invest in you!
Zou Wenhuai said:
"When you have a good work, I will invite your boss to your celebration party!"

Li Hanxiang subconsciously looked around and said carefully:
"It won't affect Vice President Wang, right?"

Zou Wenhuai certainly knew what he meant, but how could he speak nonsense when the distance between them did not affect their relationship?
So he said:
"Just focus on making your movie. Vice President Wang is in charge of finance."

If you offend Vice President Wang, you'll have to take care of your investment and profit sharing.

Li Hanxiang's face immediately became twisted.

The boss is the same. What was he thinking when he let his mother-in-law manage the finances?

Zou Wenhuai seemed to know what he was thinking and said:
"The boss has a large family and business, and our Starlight Pictures is only a small part of his business. Only if Starlight Pictures can make sufficient contributions can we impress the boss."

Li Hanxiang simply put this aside and said he would have time to think about it later. For the time being, he should start the business as soon as possible, as it was all about money!
"Then Mr. Zou, can you give Guolian a few more investment indicators? Look, I brought Guolian back as a whole. I can get all five indicators for you in half a year!"

Zou Wenhuai said:
"You also know that you have to work hard for half a year. Once you have achieved results, Starlight will naturally give you additional investment targets. What do you have to worry about?
Starlight emphasizes fairness. Look at the Golden Eagle Awards. We have such a good relationship with them. They have cooperated with us on a hit project with a box office of 89 yuan. We only gave them 5 quotas. "

Li Hanxiang curled his lips and said:

"The scale of the Golden Eagle is much smaller than ours. Our country can easily shoot three movies at the same time, can they? They can only shoot two at most!"

Zou Wenhuai said:
"They are also recruiting and expanding their staff. Their boss has a good relationship with our boss, yeah."

Zou Wenhuai nodded gently. After all, he was the one who brought Li Hanxiang here, so he should not offend the Golden Eagle. He might be whispering in someone else's ear - although he was not sure, he had to treat it as a fact if he suspected it.

Li Hanxiang opened his mouth and blinked his eyes, thinking that Golden Eagle was so powerful that the boss actually took part in the battle himself!
Damn, how can he compare with others? Only his works can speak for themselves!
He wanted to get closer to Boss Wang.

But it was hard to talk about this topic, so he changed the subject:

"What if I recruit soldiers and horses? You know, I have accumulated a lot of connections and made many friends in Yizhou over the years."

Zou Wenhuai glanced at him calmly and said with a smile:
“That’s the League of Nations’ business. Anyway, Starlight will look at your five works and then decide on the scale of subsequent investment.

The more you earn, the more Starlight will invest. Starlight also wants to make money, right?"

When Li Hanxiang heard this, he thought that it would be better not to expand too much at once. He should first produce a few works to let Starlight, Zou Wenhuai, and Boss Wang see the strength of his National League.

"Hey, okay, okay, we've been friends for many years, and you're still talking to me halfway. I'm sure I won't embarrass you. By the way, now that the film is finished, there won't be any delays at the cinema, right?"

Zou Wenhuai said patiently:
"I've told you so many times that it will definitely be shown in the cinemas. Starlight Cinema Chain and Cathay Cinema Chain have more than 20 cinemas, all in the bustling areas of the city. The Far East Cinema Chain in the New Territories (Qiu Degen's family, we have a good relationship and are easy to cooperate with) also has more than a dozen. As long as the film is not too bad, at least we won't lose money. But which movie theaters are willing to show depends on which movie can sell at the box office. This depends on you, Guolian!

Let’s not talk about you. We at Starlight have our own works, and the cinemas treat us equally.”
