I haven't been a boss for many years

Chapter 198 Mr. Zhang is unhappy
The incident got down to business.

Zou Huaiwen, Shao Yifu, and Boss Lei sat down to listen. After Zhang Guobin and Yuan Yangan sat down, the secretary brought a few cups of tea.

Holding a paper cup, Zhang Guobin said, "The release of "ET Aliens" in Xiangjiang, I prefer to be carried out by the four theaters together. A good movie should be seen by more citizens, and "ET Alien" Distribution in Asia, except for Taiwan and the mainland, is contracted to Golden Harvest Cinemas, do you have any opinions from the bosses?"

The more online paintings in theaters, the greater the box office, schedule, and attendance.

If the quality of the movie is not good, no matter how many schedules are put down,
The quality of the movie is enough, and for every additional theater, an extra sum of money will be credited to the account.

Simultaneous screening of the four major theaters is unprecedented in the Xiangjiang film market. Yifu Shao immediately hesitated and said: "Mr. The problem, but once it is painted at the same time as Yindu."

"Sorry, Mr. Yuan." Shao Yifu glanced at Yuan Yangan, and said apologetically, "As a leftist theater chain, Yindu has a political stance. Once "ET Alien" is drawn on Yindu, the Taiwan market may be in danger. Difficult."

DreamWorks, in a small conference room, sits the bosses of the four major movie theaters in Xiangjiang. The power behind them is the leader of Asian films in the 80s. Yes, there is nothing worse than that, a cup of tea, a river and a lake.

Zhang Guobin's accumulated influence in the film industry began to surface.

Yuan Yangan said with a smile: "Mr. Shao, Mr. Zhang is responsible for the painting on Taiwan Island, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Four-tier screenings, this head can't be opened before it's paid. It's a good thing for the entire Xiangjiang film industry to open up the family's view."

At this stage, there is a lot of family ties between Xiangjiang Films. If a film company falls to one theater, it will definitely offend another theater. Movies are drawn on three lines, and other film companies can only be affiliated with one theater.

In addition, the Sino-British negotiations are currently very intense. If a breakthrough is made on the cultural front, it will be very helpful to the public opinion of the entire Xiangjiang community.

Yuan Yangan took Yindu to participate in the four-tier joint screening, and there is a profound meaning behind it. Zhang Guobin naturally knows the way to do it, and he is full of support, so as to gain political capital. In the whole Xiangjiang, except for him, who is qualified to let the four The big theaters sit down and talk?
At this time, Zhang Guobin took out the bargaining chip he had prepared, and said, ""ET Alien" is a Hollywood movie. Hollywood movies are drawn on four lines. Are they qualified?"

"Taiwan Island is holding you accountable. You can shirk to Hollywood's Amblin Entertainment and let them sanction Amblin Entertainment. Taiwan is qualified to sanction Hollywood. If you are not qualified, be careful of big Hollywood directors." Find a congressman to give them eye drops!"

Even if the whole Xiangjiang knows that Zhang Guobin participated in the production of "ET Aliens", as long as there is a plausible excuse on the surface, Tai Dao will not dare to jump up and scold. You know, Hollywood is Tai Dao's father.

Zhang Guobin was also able to achieve public opinion in Xiangjiang. After some operations, he even got the benefits of eliminating and beating.

"As for the release of "ET Aliens" in the mainland, it will be handed over to Mr. Yuan's Yindu agency."

"Shaolin Temple, which was released in Yindu at the beginning of the year, is a classic of kung fu movies. So far, it has earned more than [-] million yuan at the box office in the mainland. With a ticket price of [-] cents per ticket, it broke the box office record in Xiangjiang film history."

"You guys know how big the mainland market will be in the future."

Zhang Guobin tapped the question lightly.

Shao Yifu, Zou Huaiwen, and Boss Lei all knew immediately,
Boss Zhang is waking them up.

The mainland market is not big!
Do you want to do it in the future!

Boss Lei hesitated and said, "Liason Cinemas can cooperate with the four-tier screening."

As the owner of the new theater chain, he lacked confidence and was able to join at a great risk.

Zou Huaiwen got the overseas distribution rights for the rest of the region, and simply gritted his teeth: "Okay, the four-tier joint screening counts as Golden Harvest."

"Okay." Zhang Guobin nodded in satisfaction.

He handed over the overseas distribution to Golden Harvest simply because Golden Harvest had low margins, and a part of it was cut off before. From the perspective of saving money, Zou Huaiwen is still very good.

Yifu Shao had great expectations for the mainland market, and sighed: "Yes, the four-line screening of "ET Alien" may be a journey destined by history."

"Since this is the case, let's sign the contract." Zhang Guobin crossed his legs and looked excited. He raised his hands and clapped twice. The female secretary immediately opened the door: "Mr. Zhang."

"Bring me the contract."

Zhang Guobin shouted.

Immediately, the female secretary brought in the contract, and the four theaters reviewed it and signed the contract on the spot.

Yuan Yangan returned to Yindu Institute, Liu Wenyan was sitting in the office with a tense expression, smoking a cigarette, saw him come back, immediately got up and said: "Mr. Yuan, how are the talks going on with the theaters?"

"Hehe, we've reached a conclusion." Yuan Yangan raised the corners of his mouth and said with a kind smile, ""ET Alien" will be shown in four screenings."

"Okay!" Liu Wenyan pinched out his cigarette, paced back and forth, and said excitedly, "This is a grand event in the Xiangjiang cultural circle. The four theaters have put aside their political stances, and they are only for a good movie. It deserves a special mention." , making a big splash."

"Haha, Xiangjiang's momentum is still building up. Once the news of the four-line screening comes out, it will definitely spread throughout Xiangjiang."

"I'm going to report this matter back and try to get some preferential policies for Mr. Zhang," Liu Wenyan said.

"It should be, reciprocate, and don't chill the hearts of patriots." Yuan Yangan nodded in approval.

A week later, the citizens of Xiangjiang accidentally discovered that the entrances of the four theaters of Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, Lisheng, and Yindu had a poster of a movie, a Hollywood movie, "ET Aliens" hanging on the entrance of the theaters.

It has to be said that it is a miracle of the times to cover up a layer of Hollywood movie skin and engage in public opinion in private between China and Hong Kong.

"ET Extraterrestrial" spent 30 days in Hong Kong, with a total box office revenue of [-] million, setting a new box office record in Hong Kong.

Among them, the Hollywood sci-fi films have a certain bonus in four-line screenings, but the joint production of DreamWorks has escaped the heavy taxation of imported films. Ten million box office movie, but because "ET Alien" has to share the bill with Amblin Entertainment, the ticket price is 3 to 5 yuan higher than other movies in the same year. Excellent, very willing to accept the high fare.

This film alone in Hong Kong and Hong Kong earned [-] million Hong Kong dollars in the box office share, and DreamWorks made a fortune. The box office in North America, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and the mainland has not yet been accounted for. Among them, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea often become small First, the North American box office has become the top priority, and the earnings are still in US dollars, and the number will be extremely scary.

Mr. Zhang can just wait for the money at the end of the year.

In Central, Shu Qi sat in the office of "Film Biweekly", twirling a pencil between his fingers, crossing out a name on a list on the desktop.

This Shu Qifei Bi Shuqi, male, is a well-known editor of Xiangjiang Culture, and is currently serving as the editor-in-chief of "Film Biweekly". "Film Biweekly" was founded by him, and has sold nearly [-] copies this year. He has a deep understanding of the film industry and film culture, and is acutely aware of the barbaric growth of the Hong Kong film and television industry, which lacks a professional film review publication and a professional film award.

In 1982, the Xiangjiang Film Awards was born for the first time. Through the broadcasting of Xiangjiang Radio, more than a dozen awards such as best film, best director, and best male and female starring were announced, which filled a gap in the Hong Kong film culture circle. After more than ten years Time will make the Hong Kong Film Awards one of the three major awards for Chinese-language films.

The other two are "Taiwan Golden Horse Award" and "Chinese Golden Rooster Award".

At this time, the first Golden Image Awards prepared by Shu Qi was about to open, and due to the poor development of Shaw Studios, he tried to expand its territory in the film and television industry, invested a lot of money in the Golden Image Awards, and agreed to broadcast it on TV. The award is much more generous than in history.

But after thinking about it, Shu Qi crossed out a name on the invitation list out of literati habit: "That's it."

He handed over the entire list to the clerk, and said: "Invite according to the list, and the awards ceremony will be held in the studio of the TVB building at the end of the month. Be sincere and hope that everyone who can attend will come."

Shu Qi didn't dare to show off. It was just held without any influence, commonly known as the "Pheasant Award". The source of influence depends on the ability of the organizer, and on the theaters. Whether the film company will give it or not , in short, it is true that the flames are high when everyone picks up materials.

"I understand, Mr. Shu." The editor nodded, took the list and left, and went to invite according to the list...

Wu Yusen, Li Dawei, Mai Jia, Gao Zhishen, Cheng Long, Hung Jingbao, Chu Yuan, all famous directors and stars, all of them received invitations and nomination letters for the awards ceremony, Shao Yifu, Zou Huaiwen and Lei Juekun. Received the same letter.

Zhang Guobin was informed by his secretary that the first Hong Kong Film Awards had already been held. He was a little surprised and said, "Why didn't anyone come to chat with me?"

He kept remembering the account from "Film Biweekly", thinking, when the Academy Awards are held, the other party should come to apologize, right?
But until now there was no movement at all, and he was directly ignored.

"Maybe you didn't nominate, and the organizer didn't notify you." The female secretary observed her words and said aloud.

"Oh, then he informed Shao Yifu, Zou Huaiwen, Lei Juekun, what, these three bosses directed the filming last year?" Zhang Guobin was in a bad mood.

The awards ceremony in 82 must be an inventory of 81. Zhang Guobin did not direct a movie in 81, but he starred in "The True Colors of Heroes II".

"No, Mr. Zhang." The female secretary said tremblingly, "Do you have any objections to the Golden Statue Awards?"

"I think they don't respect me." Zhang Guobin frowned and said, whoop, the female secretary's expression changed suddenly, and the boss said this, and the matter exploded.
