"Brother Long, is there something you want from me?”Lin Li changed the topic.
"Oh, I almost forgot that Boss Zou wants to see you!”Bruce Lee quickly said.
"Boss Zou wants to see me. Why did you come personally?”Lin Li was a little surprised.
"I just wanted to come and see you!”Bruce Lee grabbed the script on the table.""In the end, you really didn't disappoint me. Ah Li, you really came up with a good script!”
Lin Li only smiled.
It seemed that Zou Wenhuai had affirmed his ability.
Half an hour later, Lin Li arrived at Jiahe, which looked like a small workshop.
As soon as Zou Wenhuai saw Bruce Lee walk in, he immediately held Bruce Lee's hand warmly."Xiaolong, the film is done. I've already watched it. The box office of our film is guaranteed. Congratulations!”
Lin Li sized up the guy in front of him. This was Zou Wenhuai, the boss of Jiahe Film Company. He wore a pair of glasses and looked refined.
"You're Lin Li!" Zou Wenhuai's gaze fell on Lin Li.
"Hello, Boss Zou!" Lin Li shook hands with Zou Wenhuai.
Zou Wenhuai immediately invited Lin Li to sit down."Lin Li, I heard that you were the one who changed the script for 'Big Brother Tangshan'? This story is really not bad. Yes, your acting is also very good!”
"No, it's just a little skill!”Lin Li said humbly. If they wanted to take off, they would have to rely on Boss Zou.
After all, he was still in the rookie stage and could not be compared to a popular superstar like Bruce Lee.
If you wanted to joke with Zou Wenhuai, you had to create enough profits for Jiahe.
It was worth mentioning that Boss Zou was still open-minded and magnanimous. He introduced the satellite company system that was popular in Hollywood and supported Bruce Lee's establishment of Concorde Film Company. The method was that Bruce Lee would shoot a new film and act as the director, while Zou Wenhuai would be responsible for investment, publicity, and distribution. In the future, the two sides would split the profits equally.
However, later on, when Jiahe went from bad to worse, these satellite companies turned around and competed with Jiahe for food.
It also buried the hidden danger of Jiahe's decline.
However, at this stage, Jiahe had taken the first step and was about to take off.
Zou Wenhuai joined Shao's Film Company in 1957 as a publicity manager. In 1960, he was promoted to production manager, and the following year, he was promoted to deputy general manager and production manager. During his tenure, Zou Wenhuai had achieved outstanding results and performance in all aspects and made many contributions to Shao's. In 1970, he and He Guanchang founded Jiahe Film Company. In 1971, he successfully invited Bruce Lee to join him. He successfully brought Bruce Lee into the world film market; In 1973, Bruce Lee's sudden death had a significant impact on Jiahe Corporation.
" Looking for Bruce Lee " even became a trend for a period of time, so Cheng Long was selected by Zou Wenhuai and made an international superstar.
Due to Zou Wenhuai's well-known achievements in expanding the overseas market for Hong Kong films, the National Federation of Cinemas of the United States recognized him as the most outstanding international film artist in 1979. He was also awarded the Golden Eagle Award and the Huaxia Medal at the Manila International Film Festival and Taiwan's Political Axe. In the past thirty years, he had produced more than eighty films.
Zou Wenhuai had a good impression of Lin Li after seeing how polite he was. He nodded and said,"Lin Li, I didn't expect you to be so good at screenwriting. You're only seventeen this year, right? Have you considered writing a script for your next step?”
"I'm only sixteen this year!" Lin Li smiled, but he knew that Zou Wenhuai was trying to rope him in.
In other words, Zou Wenhuai had already recognized his ability as a screenwriter.
Zou Wenhuai wasn't stupid. He could see that Tang Shan was amazing because the screenwriters in the Xiangjiang film industry were all famous martial arts masters, such as Ni Kuang, Gu Long, Zhuge Qingyun, etc.
However, their script…
Losing all his martial arts, his whole family, his wife, his son, and his father-cultivation-revenge.
Zou Wenhuai could tell that these dramas were about to lose their market share.
It was all the same, and he didn't feel anything.
The characters designed by Lin Li were all very outstanding. Although they were still seeking revenge, they also had growth and division.
This made Zou Wenhuai admire Lin Li very much.
It was remarkable that Lin Li was able to write such a commercial and entertainment script at such a young age. Jiahe was in the stage of expansion, so Zou Wenhuai was naturally tempted.
He felt that Lin Li was something else.
At this moment, Zou Wenyou was looking forward to it.
"Then, Boss Zou, what kind of treatment can you give me?”Lin Li said slowly.
"Oh?" Zou Wenhuai was a little surprised. If it was an ordinary person, they would have agreed to it long ago. For these Dragon Tiger Martial Masters, this was simply a first-class good thing that fell from the sky.
Although the salary of a scriptwriter was not very high at this time, it was much higher than that of Longhu Martial Master. Moreover, they did not have to be beaten and thrown by others every day. Sitting in the office and having the power to control the life and death of the male and female protagonists in the movie, what a leisurely and beautiful job.
"So, what do you want?" Zou Wenhuai asked Lin Li.”
"First of all, I don't allow others to make too many changes to my script!”"I don't like people telling me what to do!" Lin Li raised a finger.”
"I can't either?" Bruce Lee interrupted.
"You can't either!" " We can discuss, we can argue, and you can give us any suggestions during the initial stage of the script," Lin Li said decisively." However, you are not allowed to make any changes after the script is completed!”
Zou Wenhuai looked at Lin Li, only to find that this guy was unusually confident.
He was as confident as Bruce Lee.
"Alright, what other requests do you have?" Zou Wenhuai continued to ask.
"If possible, I want to be a director!”"Of course, I won't become a director immediately!" Lin Li said after thinking for a while.”
"I can promise you that!”Zou Wenhuai nodded again. If Lin Li was really a good seedling, he wouldn't mind letting Lin Li be the director.
Now, Jiahe was short of people.
The third!
Lin Li thought for a moment, and then said slowly,"My salary is 3,000 Hong Kong dollars a month. In addition, I want 5% of the box office earnings. If I'm a director, my requirements will be higher!!”
"5% of the box office earnings!" Zou Wenhuai's face turned ugly.
Wasn't this fellow a little too much?
Five percent of the box office bonus, this guy was really asking for an exorbitant price.
