Rebirth: The Era of Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 199 [Issuing Western Films]

One day at the end of July, Lin Rongheng woke up from his sleep, and the first thing he did was to see who the woman in his arms was. Sometimes it was inevitable that he would get a little nervous when he woke up, and he remembered who he was with last night.

I am really just obsessed with them on the screen in my previous life, but fortunately, the investment cost is not big, a few sweet words, plus a little money; it is the money that Lin Rongheng paid, if I let Zhao Yazhi invest in the entertainment industry in the future, I can earn it back for myself Not a problem either.

Lin Rongheng comforted: "Then don't go to work! Anyway, your job is not indispensable, and your boss will not punish you for it!"

Zhao Yazhi woke up now, and said coquettishly: "Okay! So you lied to me from the beginning. You lied to me for making me a star and an actor. The purpose is to lie to me to have sex with you!"

Lin Rongheng showed some complacency, knowing that the woman was just acting like a baby, so he pointed to the house and said, "How many years does it take to be a celebrity before you can afford a 1000-square-foot house, do you still think I'm lying to you!"

The woman suddenly became dissatisfied, and muttered: "I didn't ask you for anything, you didn't even buy me a ring!" Indeed, when this man bought a house for herself, I was a little happy; I didn't stay with him for money. Although my family is not particularly rich, they are not people who can't afford a house.

Lin Rongheng didn't take it seriously. After all, he held the dominant position. Instead, he joked: "You are not greedy for my money, then you must be greedy for my beauty. It must be like this, otherwise I still have something that a little beauty can miss Woolen cloth!"

Zhao Yazhi was dumbfounded, is this the 'Prince Charming' in his mind?How do you feel like you're playing hooligans!
Fortunately, from the corner of Lin Rongheng's mouth, it could be seen that this was just a joke; immediately, the little girl's temper exploded, and she turned over and rode on Lin Rongheng's body.

The two fought for a while, and finally when they were about to explode, the two stopped in time, otherwise they really wouldn't be able to go to work!

Universal Films has moved to Universal Studios in Clear Water Bay, and the transportation will not be affected. Universal Pictures and CMB have signed a transportation contract, stipulating how many buses will be dispatched during rush hours for the convenience of the staff; At the same time, Universal Pictures also purchased 10 14-seat minibuses, each traveling between Clear Water Bay and Kowloon within 10 minutes.

When I came to the administrative building of Universal Pictures, I found that there were many cars in the parking lot. There were managers, as well as directors and actors. , of course there is no problem.

"Morning boss!"

Some staff and actors greeted each other, but Lin Rongheng just nodded with a smile. This was not because of Lin Rongheng's ostentation and arrogance, but because he was too big.When they came to the elevator, there were quite a lot of people. Everyone saw Lin Rongheng voluntarily giving up their seats, and some employees should take the stairs immediately.

"Hi boss!"

Lin Rongheng saw that it was Xu Guanwen, the 'sneering craftsman', and greeted him warmly: "Boss Xu has a new work?"

According to Lin Rongheng's knowledge, Xu's movie "Genius and Idiot" has only recently released a movie "Genius and Idiot", which has won a box office of 460 million Hong Kong dollars; Universal Films is the investor, and the two parties split the accounts 2-[-].As for "Ghost Horse Twin Stars", Xu Guanwen filmed it under the contract, and he could only share [-]% of it for writing, directing and acting.

Seeing his original boss, Xu Guanwen showed a shyness of a big boy on his face, and replied: "I have no plans yet! I promised Li Hanxiang to direct a play as the leading role, so I came to sign the contract!"

Lin Rongheng understood what was going on, Li Hanxiang was Xu Guanwen's master, and Xu Guanwen was repaying Li Hanxiang.

"Very good! The two of you are old partners, this is the fourth movie you have collaborated on!"

"Well, it's the fourth movie we're working on together! He's my mentor. If anyone needs me, I'll definitely agree."

Li Hanxiang did not set up a film company. After the contract expires, he also gets a share of the film for Huanyu. The director and the screenwriter get two salaries, usually [-]% of the profit; of course, this is only for directors with box office appeal. treatment.

Li Hanxiang's self-written and directed movies have a box office of more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars at the highest box office, and usually only 200 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office. This requires Xu Guanwen to be the starring role; and if Xu Guanwen only plays the leading role and cooperates with Li Hanxiang's face, it is natural You can only get 1% of the profit.

The profit sharing for directors and leading actors does not include the overseas box office share. Only co-productions can enjoy the overseas box office share; if the overseas box office results are good, Huanyu Company will give them a red envelope.

Back in the office, Lin Rongheng began to think in his place.

It is now the end of July, and Bruce Lee is still alive, which shows that history has changed; of course, since Bruce Lee's sixth film was wrapped in June, neither side has any new plans for the time being.With all the money Bruce Lee made, he must be having an affair with some woman and enjoying life.

Then, next, only the Xu Brothers can undertake Bruce Lee's overseas box office appeal; of course, the Xu Brothers' films can only have a little influence in Asia at most, and Japan is the largest overseas market.

These also show that it is a fact that Xiangjiang films dominate Asia in this era.

At present, Universal Pictures is just short of recruiting ordinary people from New Art City in the previous life, so that the 80s will definitely dominate the Xiangjiang film industry.

The so-called pull-in means that Universal Pictures becomes an investor. It is best to establish a joint venture company, and Universal Company can account for about 50% of the shares; You can sit back and relax.

After a while, Zou Wenhuai, Chen Hansheng, He Guanchang and others came to Lin Rongheng's office.

After the office clerk made tea for everyone, the few people entered the formal proposal.

Lin Rongheng said: "Call everyone here, and we are going to discuss the establishment of a film company that mainly distributes western films! Everyone knows that we have some experience in 'Hollywood' films. We have cooperated with Warner Films on two Bruce Lee films. movies; so, can we make or invest in 'Hollywood' movies?"

As far as Lin Rongheng knows, Golden Harvest Films established a film company that distributed western films in the 70s, and also shot a film "The Spy in Holland" starring Robert Mizhan; and Lin Rongheng is very familiar with Hollywood movies. If you can shoot a few films or invest in a few films, you will earn a lot of money; in addition, Jackie Chan will enter Hollywood in the future, so naturally he needs a distribution company there.

When Zou Wenhuai heard this, he was the first to support it: "I think it is feasible! Hollywood implements a producer system, and whoever invests will enjoy the benefits. This is our opportunity! Moreover, their theaters and productions are run separately, which is Good for us!"

Next, everyone naturally agreed, and it was quickly decided that Zou Wenhuai would be in charge of this matter.

The reason why Lin Rongheng mentioned this topic is that he also intends to use funds to invest in some high-grossing Hollywood blockbusters and enjoy dividends; in this way, it is like investing in stocks, as long as the movies are blockbusters, he can make a lot of money.

Of course, just be a small investor, and do not participate in the rest.
