Ah Yu, to be honest, my recent filming plans have come to a standstill..."
Cheng Long told her about his recent situation. In fact, he had terminated his contract with Luo Wei Film Company after April and had not signed with any other film companies until now.
Without the support of the film company, Cheng Long would not have a distribution channel even if he wanted to film. Wasn't this a loss?
"Jackie, did any film companies take the initiative to recruit you after you terminated your contract?”
When he heard that Cheng Long hadn't signed the contract yet, Qin Yu's heart skipped a beat.
What if he signed Cheng Long now?
Cheng Long was not only a cash cow, but he had also expanded the influence of Chinese movies to the whole world.
It was a great opportunity to sign Cheng Long and gain fame and benefits!
However, after hearing Qin Yu's question, Zhao Yazhi explained,"
"Yu, Sixth Uncle promised to pay five million Hong Kong dollars a year to Jackie, but Jackie has to accept wireless arrangements to film.”
"Jiahe Zousheng gave Jackie a salary of 4.5 million Hong Kong dollars a year, but allowed Jackie to film on her own.”
"Right now, Jackie is considering which film company to join. After all, Sixth Uncle and Zou Sheng are both giants in the industry, so it's not easy to reject them.”
After Zhao Yazhi's explanation, Qin Yu realized that Cheng Long was not unwanted. Instead, someone was fighting for it.
Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai were both well-known figures in the industry. For them to personally send out invitations, it could be seen that Cheng Long's reputation and value were really high.
"Yu, do you have any ideas?”
Seeing Qin Yu's thoughtful expression, Zhao Yazhi could not help but ask.
"Jackie, Angie, I want to set up a film company called Zhongyu Film and Television.”
"Since Jackie hasn't signed with any other companies, are you interested in joining my Zhongyu Pictures?”
What Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, can't they just follow me?
Qin Yu directly expressed his attitude and invited Cheng Long to join Zhongyu Film and Television. In the future, he would film for Zhongyu Film and Television.
Cheng Long was dumbfounded after hearing that. Damn, are all rich second-generation heirs so awesome?
If they wanted to make friends, they would give them luxury cars. If they wanted to play in the entertainment industry, they would set up a film and television company.
Young Master Qin was truly a heroic character. Cheng Long was shocked by him again and again.
"Yu, you want to set up Zhongyu Film and Television to enter the entertainment industry? Actually, a film company is not as simple as you think…"
Cheng Long was afraid that Young Master Qin was just doing it on a whim and casually set up a shell company to make him happy, so he told him about the industry standards of the film and television company.
Zhao Yazhi continued,"
" Ah Yu, a film and television company not only needs a director, screenwriter, and artiste, but it also needs to support a lot of film and television professionals. It also needs to have its own distribution channels and shooting props…"
" In short, it's not easy to set up a film and television company in a day or two. Sixth Uncle and Zou Sheng have been in the industry for decades…"
The film and television company could not be set up in a short period of time. It was difficult to find all the staff.
However, Qin Yu had never thought of starting from scratch. He had money in his hands, so why would he need to worry about these things?
"Jackie, Angie, I want to directly acquire a mature film and television company. Zhongyu Film and Television can just use a backdoor to rebirth!”
"Jackie, you joined Zhongyu Film and Television with an annual salary of 5 million Hong Kong dollars. If you want to set up your own studio, the company will also support you.”
"In short, Zhongyu Film and Television can give you any resources that others can give you. Moreover, I don't limit the number of movies you can film.”
Cheng Long couldn't help but feel a little moved after hearing Qin Yu's conditions.
At this time, Xiangjiang Film Company was basically using their artistes like cattle and horses. They wanted you to film for 365 days.
Moreover, the main focus of Xiangjiang's production was speed. Qin Yu's Zhongyu Film and Television only required a minimum of one movie a year. This could be said to be very preferential treatment for him!
" Ah Yu, I do have a movie that I need to invest in, but this time, I want to be the director. Of course, the main character will also be me. The investment amount is about two million Hong Kong dollars…"
"Jackie, Zhongyu Film and Television is willing to invest 2 million Hong Kong dollars. I will personally discuss the distribution channels of the movie with Sixth Uncle!”
Before Cheng Long could finish, Qin Yu agreed to the investment in one go.
Cheng Long's first self-directed action film was called " The Young Brother Goes Out ". It was released in 1980 and the box office reached 11 million Hong Kong dollars!
This was the first movie in Xiangjiang City that had a box office of more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. This movie not only broke the record in Xiangjiang City, but also in Taiwan Province, South Korea, and Southeast Asia.
After this movie, Cheng Long officially became a superstar. Now that this movie was in front of him, he definitely had to invest!
Qin Yu agreed to the 2 million Hong Kong dollars investment without even blinking. This attitude was undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of Cheng Long.
This was Cheng Long's first self-directed movie. Before it was released, no one knew if it was a loss or a profit.
If he lost money, the two million Hong Kong dollars investment would be wasted.
However, Qin Yu believed in Cheng Long. The movie " A Junior Brother in Action " would definitely explode at the box office.
Cheng Long felt that it would be inappropriate if he refused again.
"Ah Yu, I'm willing to join Zhongyu Film and Television. In the future, the contract will be signed under Zhongyu Film and Television. By the way, the female lead of this movie hasn't been reserved yet. Ah Yu, if you have any recommendations, you can tell me.”
Ahem, Cheng Long knew that since the investors had invested in the movie, the investors had the final say in the female lead.
As for which female celebrity Qin Yu wanted to cast, Cheng Long basically wouldn't ask.
"Jackie, I know you still have a bunch of people under you. Bring them all to the company and sign the contract. In the future, you will be the pillar of Zhongyu Film and Television.”
In front of Zhao Yazhi, Qin Yu naturally did not talk about the female lead.
Instead, he gave Cheng Long a look, indicating that he would personally arrange the female lead.
Cheng Long instantly understood and stood up with a glass of wine."Ah Yu, I really have to thank you this time. The first movie I directed was invested by Zhongyu Film and Television. This is the happiest thing that happened to me this year.”
After saying that, she downed the wine in her hand.
Qin Yu and Zhao Yazhi also returned the toast, giving Cheng Long enough face.
