Chapter 303 Universal's President Su
Chapter 303 Mr. Su from Global
Fang Hanwen was very happy to hear Su Qian's words, "Then I accept your good advice and let's make a fortune together!"
"Okay, then I'm going to do something."
Susie nodded, "Okay, I will read these books as soon as possible."
After Fang Hanwen left, Su Qian picked up a few scripts and flipped through them first. When she turned to the second script, she was pleasantly surprised. The script was called "Drunken Master".
She remembered that this drama was an early work of Brother Cheng Long, and it seemed to have done quite well at the box office.
Susie spent a day carefully reading the script from beginning to end. While reading, she couldn't help but pick up a pen and write some comments beside it.
It’s not that she thinks her level is high, it’s just that from the perspective of future generations, the script is not commercialized enough.
Commercialization means marketization. You have to give whatever the market needs in order to make money.
In the next two days, Su Qian read all the scripts Fang Hanwen brought.
"But he is owned by Home and Company, and Home and Company owns theaters. If we quietly poach their people and fall out with them, we may be in trouble for future movie screenings."
Fang Hanwen paused, "However, I heard that the person who went to find you said that the boss of Jiahe is very generous."
She really admires Fang Hanwen now. In half a year, he knows almost everything about the Hong Kong film industry.
Su Qian added: "Uncle Fang, if we want to open this company, we must quickly train a few capable people. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will be exhausted if you have to do everything yourself."
Even when she was little, there was a karaoke bar called Universal in the alley where she lived, that didn't matter.
"But he is owned by Jiahe Company."
She pointed to the script of "Drunken Master".
Fang Hanwen took advantage of her to read the contract and said from the side: "There is something I need to tell you first."
Susie thought for a while and said, "Can we poach him? The conditions should be favorable, and the company will pay the liquidated damages."
Fang Hanwen laughed, "Are you so confident? Our first film will definitely make money?"
Fang Hanwen said: "Okay, then I will try it shamelessly."
The two then talked about a lot of things about the company, including signing actors, directors, and finding good screenwriters to work with. Fang Hanwen had a certain degree of success.
Fang Hanwen nodded, "That's it. I'm planning to post a recruitment notice in the next two days. I plan to recruit a few college students."
Susie smiled and nodded, "I'm confident."
Fang Hanwen said "Oh", "He."
Su Qian smiled and said, "Mr. Fang, it's a pleasure to work with you."
"Dig, I guess it can be dug, as long as the conditions are favorable enough."
Fang Hanwen thought for a while and said, "Let's talk to Jiahe's boss."
"Also, the Xu brothers, who have been extremely popular recently, have won the box office championship for two consecutive years. They have made another movie this year, which has not yet been released. It is expected to be a big hit at the box office."
Fang Hanwen has always been called "Brother Wen". This is the first time someone has called him Mr. Fang, which gives him a special sense of freshness.
"It's okay if he can let him go, but if he can't let him go -"
If he didn't know what happened just now, there would be a lot more trouble in the future.
"I now plan to invest all the total nine million funds in hand."
Fang Hanwen was overjoyed, "My eldest niece is brave, so let's do a good job!"
After signing the contract, Fang Hanwen solemnly shook hands with Su Qian and said, "Happy cooperation."
Su Qian said: "I have a candidate for the leading role. He is from a working background. His name is Cheng Long. I wonder if Uncle Fang has heard of him?"
This shows that Fang Hanwen is serious about work and cooperates with him. She believes that the company can do well even if she doesn't care about anything.
Within two days, Fang Hanwen called and said, "I've asked a lawyer to draft the contract. I'll bring it over to you at a time that's convenient for you. If you see where it's inappropriate, you can make changes if necessary."
"I just said five million. My dad was stingy and couldn't bear to take that much, so he said he would give me three million and let me toss it around."
Susie wrote down the investment amount and signed the contract without changing a single word.
Susie thought for a moment, "Then let's cooperate. We have the book in our hands and we can discuss cooperation with them. This is our first film and we happen to lack experience. Although cooperation will result in a small profit share, there are also benefits of cooperation."
Fang Hanwen said: "You mean he is the starring role?"
"I had a serious talk with my dad two days ago. I told him that I wanted to open a company of my own but lacked funds, and asked him if he could support me."
The two chatted all morning and decided on the company's name - Universal.
The name was proposed by Fang Hanwen, and Su Qian had no objection. She felt that she had been involved in too many things, and the right to name it must be given to the big boss Fang Hanwen.
Fang Hanwen touched his chin, "This is a martial arts drama, so we need to find specialized martial arts actors."
The two chatted for a while, and Susie took out several previous scripts and said, "I have read all these scripts. My idea is that for the first film, I will make this -"
"My dad didn't say anything, he just asked me how much I wanted."
"They are also cooperating with Jiahe, and Jiahe has very favorable conditions for cooperation with them. They only care about investment, distribution, and screening. The rest are all decided by them, and they don't care how the money is spent."
He laughed and said, "Mr. Su, it's a pleasure to work with you."
After hearing what Fang Hanwen said, Su Qian said, "Well, that's a bit troublesome."
"When Li Xiaolong cooperated with Jiahe before, Jiahe's boss gave him very generous conditions, and he also helped Li Xiaolong open his own film and television company."
Fang Hanwen shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to dig."
Susie smiled: "You can come over anytime, I'm at home every day."
In the afternoon, Fang Hanwen came with his lawyer.
"I know him. He just starred in a martial arts movie "Fist of Fury" in July. The box office was only over 400,000 yuan."
Susie also laughed.
Susie read the terms of the contract carefully. The contract was very beneficial to her, and she did not find any traps or loopholes.
He didn't doubt Susie's vision, no, he didn't doubt Susie's luck. If she said it would work, then it would work, and if it didn't work, it would work.
In addition to "Drunken Master", she picked out another notebook and carefully wrote down her revision suggestions in it.
Susie thought for a moment, "I have confidence in Uncle Fang, and I also have confidence in the future of Hong Kong Film. If this is the case, then I will invest 8 million."
"The main reason is that I have confidence in Uncle Fang."
"For you, it's four million to eight million, depending on how much you're willing to invest."
Su Qian looked at Fang Hanwen, "Then-"
Susie thinks Universal is very good, showing Mr. Fang’s global vision and ambition.
Fang Hanwen stayed at Su's house for lunch, and then went to Guan's house with Su Qian to ask Guan Zhengdong to find out an auspicious day for the company's opening.
Guan Zhengdong took out the almanac, asked Fang Hanwen and Su Qian their zodiac signs, and picked a day half a month from now.
Su Qian and Fang Hanwen both felt that this was a good day. The building had been bought and there were no plans to renovate it for the time being. There were only some preparations left, and half a month was almost enough.
Chapter completed!
