That... interrupted the two... Just as the fat man talked endlessly about his ambitions for the motherland, and the easily fooled student girl was shining with her eyes, a very disharmonious voice interrupted the two

Wang Jing and the student girl were stunned for a moment, turned around and saw a handsome young man smiling and making it beside them. It was Qiao Jinfan.

Who are you? Fatty is very upset that someone disturbs his plan to pick up girls

Qiao Jinfan took out a thousand-yuan bill from his arms and handed it to the student girl, saying: Little sister, give me this table, I have something to say to this fat brother!

When the student girl saw the thousand-dollar bill, her eyes lit up immediately. She took the bill, smiled playfully, stood up and said: OK, I'm leaving! As she said that, the student girl left immediately

The fat man was speechless and looked at Qiao Jinfan and shouted: This brother, I didn’t offend you, right? Why should I stop me from soaking in Mazi Ah?!

Qiao Jinfan smiled and said: What is this student girl? Today I am here to discuss a job with you, the young master of Director Wang of TVB. If you do it, there will be some beautiful horses than her in the future!

The fat man was surprised and said: Do you know me?!

Of course, Wang Jing, the son of the famous director Wang Tianlin... Qiao Jinfan smiled and said, let me introduce myself first. My name is Qiao Jinfan, and I am the heir of the Qiao Group in Hong Kong... As he said that, Qiao Jinfan took out a business card from his arms.

The fat man also heard of the Qiao family. He took the business card and looked at it. He immediately showed respect in his eyes and said: It turned out to be Mr. Qiao, I'm so respectful! Is there anything you have to do with me?

Qiao Jinfan smiled and said: That's right, Mr. Wang, you should know that my grandfather is Lu Yuntao, a film tycoon of a generation. His ambitions were not fulfilled, but he died young. This is a regret of our family. He wanted to let Hong Kong movies dominate the world, but failed. Now as his grandson, I decided to inherit his will and reorganize Cathay Film Company!

Qiao Jinfan had already thought about it at this time. The name of the entertainment company was Cathay. In order to commemorate his grandfather Lu Yuntao!

After hearing this, Wang Jing understood it. In general, it was the same thing. Mr. Qiao was going to open a film company.

Wang Jing then asked: Mr. Qiao, you are going to open a film company Ah? Then what are you doing with me?

Of course there is something to do with you... Qiao Jinfan chuckled, I know Mr. Wang is depressed and unsuccessful in Shaw Brothers, so I hope Mr. Wang, you can join the Cathay Pacific Company I will form. I wonder what you think?

Ah? Do you want to sign me?! Wang Jing immediately widened his eyes and shouted

That's natural... Qiao Jinfan smiled and said, "I believe you know the system of Shaw Brothers Company. What's the point of being a good company? I believe you still understand this principle, right?"

After hearing this, Wang Jing nodded and said: Yes, wireless really has nothing to do with it!

According to history, Shaw Brothers is beginning to decline today

The sign of Shaw's decline is not the decrease in the number of films produced every year

On the contrary, its production volume has soared this year, and it produced 17 movies in the first half of the year alone.

Why does this happen?

Because Shaw's movie attendance rate is too low, each movie has to be released in advance if it is released for a few days.

Shaw Brothers Cinemas is a big stall there, and if you don’t have movies, you will lose money every day, so Shaw Brothers has to increase the production of films

To meet the needs of its own theater chain

This will cause a disgusting cycle. The poor quality of the movie will lead to a low attendance rate. The reduced attendance rate will lead to a decrease in the number of days of release of a single film. If the number of days of release is reduced, more movies must be made to make up for the scarcity of film sources. In order to make more movies, the production cost of a single movie will inevitably be reduced. After the production cost is reduced, the quality of the movie will be reduced.

This is a dead knot, it cannot be untied at all

Shaw Pictures and Shaw Cinemas, two companies that should have complemented each other, are now dragging each other down and becoming each other's burden.

Run Run Shaw had realized this, but he was at a loss.

So, why can’t Shaw Brothers make good films? The reason lies in the system!

Shaw's studio system gradually became stiff after the 1970s, and the problem was concentrated in the forced control of directors and actors.

The relationship between actors, directors and Shaw is a contract system. The company's production department formulates the script and provides it to the director for filming. The director is also allowed to write and direct it himself. However, the fundamental problem lies in profits. Shaw never shares dividends with the director (or actors) but is just a salary system.

No matter how outstanding the film's box office results are or fail, the consequences will be borne independently by the company and the director will not be allowed to share them together.

For example, if you shoot a movie, your salary is 10,000 yuan, then the box office income is more than 10,000 yuan, the box office is 10,000 yuan, the box office is 10,000 yuan, the salary is still 10,000 yuan

This relationship between Shaw Brothers and the director greatly weakened the director's enthusiasm. Xu Guanwen once asked for the implementation of outsourcing and shared the box office results with Shaw Brothers, but was rejected by Shaw Brothers. This incident also happened to Li Hanxiang, Zhang Che and others.

In addition, Shaw Brothers adheres to the production method of studios and films basically in studios and sets to control the production quality and process. This is a manifestation of strength in the early stage, but it seems rigid in the later stage.

As the exterior live shooting attempts by Jiahe and Xinyi City gradually became popular, Shaw director Gui Zhihong and others also filmed social realistic films such as "Sung Ji Tea House". However, Shaw's artistic breakthroughs are not enough, which is not as flexible and arbitrary as the outsourcing system company, which also limits the space for film breakthroughs.

Wang Jing has been with Shaw Brothers for a long time, so it is impossible not to know about Shaw Brothers’ disadvantages. He is deeply touched!

Qiao Jinfan was very happy to see the fat man being moved. He smiled slightly and said: If Mr. Wang is willing to join my Cathay Pacific Company, then what I can guarantee is that you will pay you a three million contract fee first, so that you can write the script and shoot it yourself. The company will give you the greatest freedom and provide you with box office dividends. If you can work in the company for five years, I will also give you three percent of the company's dry shares in five years. What do you think?

Ah?

Wang Jing trembled and said, "There are such good conditions? You didn't fool me?"

In Wang Jing's opinion, it is a fantasy for him to make a living by relying on his father's fame to have such generous conditions!

Mr. Wang, I never joke... Qiao Jinfan smiled and said, if you have no problem, I will ask my lawyer to bring you documents tomorrow, which is guaranteed to be an absolutely legal treaty!

When Wang Jing heard this, he no longer hesitated. Grandma, Shaw Brothers has no trouble, and he has his own trouble. He immediately reached out and said: OK! Mr. Qiao, I will follow you from now on!

OK, welcome to join Cathay Pacific! Qiao Jinfan laughed
