Chapter 16 Big waves are more important than brains After a pause, Lin Zehao continued, "You have been with me for such a long time, and each of you has made contributions. When I officially take over as the leader, I will give you positions." "Now, the boss will help you get rich first." "If you have money, you can invest in it and I will give you dividends according to your shares." Chen Guoqiang said without hesitation: "Brother Hao, I don't know much about movies. Usually only my brothers like to watch pornographic movies, but if you say it's okay, then it must be okay." "You know, I usually spend a lot of money on food during my training. Now I have about 20 yuan left. I'll invest it all in the film company." "Brother Hao, I can also take out 20." Yang Chengrong followed closely. After a moment of silence, Li Wenbin said, "Brother Hao, I can take 30 yuan. If you need more, I can sell the house." "But I advise you not to put all your wealth on it. You have a big name now, and many people depend on you for food. You must be cautious." Among the three, Li Wenbin has the highest academic qualifications and relatively broad knowledge. As a lawyer, what kind of people haven’t you seen? Because of this, Li Wenbin understands that the film industry is definitely not as simple as it seems.
Our boss is not a professional, so let alone making money, we should be thankful if we don’t lose money. "Abin, don't worry. I have never failed in these years, and I believe I will not fail this time either." "I opened a film company so that my brothers could have better choices. Those who don't want to fight and kill can find a legitimate job." "Also, you think I would lose money and invest so much, and even sell my house to invest. Do you think you are crazy?" Lin Zehao was very pleased. If all his subordinates were like Chen Guoqiang and Yang Chengrong, who would unconditionally agree to everything, there would also be disadvantages. We always need people who can put forward different opinions so that we can develop better. Lin Zehao knows the future direction and of course knows which movies will make money and which will flop and lose money. But Li Wenbin didn’t know! Moreover, even though he thought he would lose money, he still invested so much, which is enough to prove his sincerity. "Brother Hao, are you mistaken? If there is any compensation, you will pay the most!" "Since the big guys aren't afraid, then we the smaller guys will naturally have to hold on to the end!" Li Wenbin smiled, hid his worries in his heart, and started to make jokes. At the same time, he made up his mind that if he really lost money, the worst that could happen was that he would sell his butt. It just so happened that there was a rich woman who had a good impression of him last time. Lin Zehao blew out a smoke ring and said thoughtfully: "If that's the case, then I'll invest another 130 million to make up 200 million." "I'll take 6%, and you'll take %." Li Wenbin shook his head and said, "No, according to this investment ratio, you should own 130% of the shares with 65 million, and the three of us together will own 35%." "That's right, Brother Hao, we can't let you suffer any loss. You've given us enough." Although Yang Chengrong didn't know how to calculate the shareholding ratio, he understood that given Lin Zehao's character, he would definitely not let them suffer any loss. "That's right, boss. We don't care about this. If the film company really makes money, they can just ask us to play with the female stars for free."
Chen Guoqiang controlled his pectoralis major to make it jump, looking very showy, and the smile on his face was even more obscene. "Okay, when you make money in the future, I'll find you a few more sisters-in-law." After Lin Zehao finished speaking, the three of them reacted and burst into laughter. After the joke, the matter was settled. "This is the script of our company's first play, take a look." Several people took the script handed over by Lin Zehao, and saw four big characters written on the cover: "A Better Tomorrow". Chen Guoqiang finished reading the script the fastest, followed by Li Wenbin. Yang Chengrong didn't know many words, so he read slowly. "Brother Hao, where did this script come from? It's very well written." Li Wenbin had fought lawsuits on behalf of screenwriters before, so he knew a thing or two about it. "I wrote it." Lin Zehao smiled, his tone was very calm, as if he had just done something insignificant. "Brother Hao, you're awesome! No wonder the protagonist has such a strong underworld vibe. It turns out you wrote it. That's not surprising." Chen Guoqiang said this seriously, amazed. "That's right. You've always done very well in Chinese since you were young, so it's reasonable that you can write such a good script." Li Wenbin nodded. Yang Chengrong asked, "Who should we find to act in this play?" "The male lead is Chow Yun-fat, but the female lead hasn't been decided yet. The director went to Golden Harvest to find someone named Rainie Wu." Lin Zehao had a plan in place. The first play had to be a big hit and make the company famous! And "A Better Tomorrow" is undoubtedly the best choice! This movie was released in 1986. I believe it won’t have much of an impact if it is released a few years earlier. What's more, Zhou Runfa is now extremely popular with the broadcast of "The Bund", and his appeal is absolutely guaranteed. "The director is not that bad. He is not famous. As long as the money is enough, it won't be a big problem." "Chow Yun Fat is indeed very popular. His role as Xu Wenqiang is extremely popular in Hong Kong Island. Every time I go out on the street, I can see many imitators wearing trench coats and white scarves." "But since he is so popular, his salary must have increased. Besides, our company has just been established and has no reputation. The director is not a big name. Can he take on this role?" Li Wenbin realized the crux of the problem and couldn't help asking. "Yeah, Brother Hao, I heard that big stars are very difficult to deal with." Yang Chengrong also echoed. Chen Guoqiang slammed the table and said nonchalantly: "Damn, what's so difficult about it? I'll bring dozens of my men over and tie up Zhou Runfa. Let's see if he dares to say no!" Lin Zehao glared at Chen Guoqiang and said, "I think you should stop calling me Daliqiang and just call me Daboqiang. You've trained your breasts to be so big, but have you lost your brain?" "Big boobs are more brain-eating." "They're beheading and kidnapping people all the time. How can this be allowed?" "We are legitimate businessmen, not terrorists or flag soldiers!" Lin Zehao waved his hand and continued, "Well, you take a few people with you tomorrow and personally deliver the script to Mr. Zhou. We must clearly state our identities but not go too far. Do you understand?" If it was an ordinary person, they would just tie him up. But after all, Zhou Runfa is a popular star with great influence, so we can't go too far. What's more, Chow Yun-fat is a contracted artist of TVB. Although Lin Zehao is not afraid of Shao Laoliu, there is no need to tear his face off.
After all, being in the gang is not just about fighting and killing, it also involves dealing with the human relationships. "Don't worry, Brother Hao, I will definitely invite Zhou Runfa to you, and I promise not to use any force!" Chen Guoqiang patted his huge chest muscles, full of confidence. "Abin, I'll leave the formalities of the film company to you. Rent an office building first, and when we make money in the future, we will definitely build a building of our own!" "No problem, Brother Hao, leave it to me." Li Wenbin nodded in response. "Then what is the name of our company? Brother Hao." Yang Chengrong scratched his head and asked the key question. Lin Zehao looked out the window. The bustling night scene was reflected in his inky black eyes. He said word by word, "Let's call it Hutchison Entertainment." "Hutchison Entertainment?" "Good name!"
