Hong Kong Variety Show: I choose Liang Kun, he has a big temper

Chapter 257: Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest jointly invited? Rejection

Almost at the same time.

In Shao Renleng's office.

"Boss, it's so late, why did you ask me to come here?"

Dillon was full of nervousness and spoke directly to Shao Renleng in front of him.

Although Ti Lung was an actor who graduated from the Infinite Actor Training Class, he was directly signed to Shaw Brothers.

But this was also one of the few times he stepped into the office of Chairman Shao Renleng.

Looking at Shao Renleng in front of him, Dillon was still somewhat nervous.

"I heard that New Hongxing Films recently made a movie?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you also played a role in this movie, right?"

Shao Renleng asked tentatively with a smile on his face.

However, from the tone of these speeches, one can hear that there is a hint of temptation in their voices.

After all, even though Ti Lung is now an out-of-date actor, his contract with Shaw Brothers is still there.

In other words, Dillon was in breach of contract by going out to film at this time.

"Boss! I...I really like this script, so I made a guest appearance."

“But I didn’t even get paid.”

Dillon hastened to excuse himself.

Obviously, at this time, Dillon was just an actor at the bottom of the film industry.

Putting aside his status as a has-been actor, when Shao Renleng called him into his office and the two of them talked to this point, all he could think of was that Shao Renleng would mind if he went to film somewhere else.

"Why are you panicking? You are indeed all signed to Shaw Brothers, but I also know that you all think the salary I offer is too low."

"An actor's salary is only a few thousand yuan, but other actors are already receiving tens of thousands of yuan in pay. It's understandable that they will feel unwilling to do so."

"Besides, you're not the first actor to work part-time in other places to film, so there's no need to be so nervous!"

Shao Renleng dressed up like a caring boss and spoke directly to Dillon in front of him.

However, after hearing what Shao Renleng said, Dillon couldn't even believe his ears.

You know, if Shao Renleng wasn't such a stingy person, how could Zou Wenhuai run away from home?

Even so, Shao Renleng never questioned his own salary system.

He believed more in TVB's ability to produce actors and that these actors had no quality at all, they were just like workers on an assembly line, there were just enough of them.

It was in this situation that Dillon heard Shao Renleng suddenly change his words.

This is a bit dazed!

"Boss...what do you mean?"

Dillon didn't even dare to breathe, and could only ask cautiously and tentatively.

In response to Dillon's words, Shao Renleng seemed particularly magnanimous.

"It's just a movie, just shoot it. Besides, it's also to help you gain fame, and we, Shaw Brothers, will be the ones to benefit in the end."

"However, you are also aware of the current situation of the cinema chains in Hong Kong Island, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest. I have also discussed this with Boss Zou."

"So, no matter how your film turns out, you can choose to screen it at Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest."

After this description, Shao Renleng finally revealed the real purpose of his trip.

That’s right! All those messy sentiments and sympathy for employees are fake. The real purpose is to take advantage of the opportunity to get the movie shot by Chen Wen through Dillon’s mouth.

Of course, Shao Renleng did this not because he was optimistic about the movie, but simply because he did not want to continue pushing the chips on the gambling table to his opponent at this time.

“So it’s because of this.”

"Don't worry, Chairman. This movie just hasn't found a suitable theater to be released yet. I will go and talk to Mr. Chen in person."

"I'm sure Mr. Chen will be very happy after hearing this news."

After hearing what Shao Renleng said, Dillon agreed without hesitation.

There is no doubt that just from the tone of his speech, it can be heard that he just felt that the movie at that time was indeed a good work, but it would be difficult to succeed without theaters.

And now, both Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers cinema chains are willing to promote this movie.

This is the perfect opportunity that everyone dreams of.

That's why he made such a confident promise in front of Shao Renleng.

……

The next day.

New Hongxing Films.

Dillon blocked Chen Wen's office early in the morning, wanting to tell Chen Wen the good news.

However, just when he met Chen Wen, he heard another bombshell piece of news.

That’s right! Chen Wen has decided that the movie “A Better Tomorrow” will be screened at the Golden Princess Cinema.

"What? Mr. Chen, do you want to think about it again?"

"Golden Princess Cinema Chain only has a few theaters. Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest have several times more theaters than Golden Princess."

"Are you really planning to release this film at the Golden Princess?"

Dillon spoke directly to Chen Wen in front of him with a panicked look on his face.

There is no doubt that even Chen Wen has decided now to release this movie in the Golden Princess Cinema.

But Dillon still doesn't think Golden Princess Cinemas is a good choice.

Of course, the reason why he said this was not just because he was taking private jobs outside, but the more important reason was that the Golden Princess Cinemas did not have any cooperating film companies, but relied on purchasing films.

In other words, if the work is bought out before it is released, no matter how the box office is after its release, it has nothing to do with the producer.

Apparently, Dillon had thought of this, too.

“A Better Tomorrow is indeed a good movie.”

"But do you think that Mr. Shaw's proposal to release A Better Tomorrow at Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest at this time is really just for this film?"

"They are just competing with the Golden Princess Cinema Chain. Apart from having enough cinema chains, what other benefits are there?"

Chen Wen spoke directly in an orderly manner.

But after hearing what Chen Wen said, Dillon felt numb instantly!

"Even so, it's still better than the Golden Princess Cinema, right?"

After hesitating for a moment, Dillon adjusted his thoughts and continued to ask.

"It was like this before, but I forgot to tell you that starting today, the Golden Princess Cinema Line will be renamed the New Hongxing Cinema Line."

"The movie 'A Better Tomorrow' is the first film after the Golden Princess Cinema Line changed its name."

"Don't be so surprised. Previously, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest teamed up to deal with Princess Golden. Now, they are teaming up to fight against my New Hung Hing Cinema Line. Do you think I will give them "A Better Tomorrow" at this time?"

Chen Wen methodically and directly informed Dillon of the current situation.

That’s right! He just bought the Golden Princess Cinema at the dinner table last night, and today he released the movie “A Better Tomorrow”.

There wasn't even any promotion in the early stages.

The purpose was to catch Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, two cinema chains and film companies, off guard.

In this situation, how could Chen Wen give in?

For a moment, Dillon was stunned where he stood!
