Reborn Hong Kong's Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 30 Choice
The premiere box office of "Chasing Girls" was better than that of "Modern Bodyguard", reaching 31 Hong Kong dollars.

At this time, the total box office of "Modern Bodyguard" has reached 937 million Hong Kong dollars.I am afraid that within two days, the box office will break tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

It was also on this day that Liang Shuyi received a call from Wireless, saying that "Modern Bodyguard" would delay the drawing until the attendance rate was less than [-]%.

Su Cheng was immediately relieved by the huge surprise.It seems that Boss Shao is not that unreasonable!

……

Two days later, at noon on February 2rd, Liang Shuyi, who has been paying attention to the box office, communicated with TVB every once in a while.At around 2:3 p.m., I was informed that the box office of the movie "Modern Bodyguard" officially broke through tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.As for the specific number, because the movie is still in theaters, accurate information cannot be obtained for the time being.

However, with this news, everything is OK!

Immediately, TVB broadcast the news.Liang Shuyi also passed the good news to those waiting reporters.

In an instant, on this afternoon, many newspapers began to add additional issues, spreading the latest news.As a result, the number of people watching "Modern Bodyguard" increased instead of falling.Even the movie "Chasing Girls", which is currently being released, has benefited, increasing a lot of box office.

The night passed.

January 9, early morning.

"Modern Bodyguard" was released for 17 days, with a cumulative box office of 1038 million Hong Kong dollars.

At the same time, "Chasing Girls" directed by Wang Jing was released for 3 days, and the box office also exceeded one million Hong Kong dollars, reaching 127 million Hong Kong dollars.It can be described as a great success!After all, the investment in "Modern Bodyguard" was 700 million Hong Kong dollars, but "Chasing Girls" was only a million dollars.Wouldn't you be happy to have such a good result?
……

When there were many reports outside that "Modern Bodyguard" broke the box office history of Hong Kong movies, Golden Harvest Film Company, Zou Wenhuai found He Guanchang again, and sighed: "It's incredible!"

This time, He Guanchang did not refute.After all, the grades are there!
However, He Guanchang, who didn't care about the three Xu brothers, said solemnly: "Ah Huai, Aaron's "Junior Brother" will be released soon. Even if it can't surpass "Modern Bodyguard", the box office will not be too low."

Hearing this, Zou Wenhuai nodded, then thought of something, frowned and said, "I'm not worried about Aaron's movie, but once "Modern Bodyguard" is released and Shaw Brothers takes over, I'm afraid the media will talk nonsense."

The underlying meaning is that Run Run Shaw and Fang Yat Hua will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to suppress Jiahe.After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Xu Guanwen and others were artists under Golden Harvest.How could such an opportunity to make big money be given to the irresponsible Shao Brothers?

It seems that Xu Guanwen and others are not living well in Golden Harvest!
Zou Wenhuai's words did not make He Guanchang feel a little bit annoyed, but a little bit of joy rose in his heart. He wished that Xu Guanwen and others would leave Golden Harvest!At that time, Aaron will become a trump card!Jiahe's treasure will also be on his body.The other Sammo Hung and others were automatically ignored by him.

After thinking about it, He Guanchang said: "It's too early to tell. Let's see how high Aaron's "Junior Brother" will reach at the box office. In addition..."

After a pause, He Guanchang continued: "I think the Tengyue Entertainment Company is unique in movie promotion, why don't we learn from it? Maybe it will stimulate the movie fans who go to watch it."

"Oh? That's a good idea! I'll leave it to you to deal with the promotion." Zou Wenhuai said.

He Guanchang nodded and said, "No problem!"

……

Teng Yue Entertainment Company.

Liang Shuyi approached Su Cheng and asked, "Boss, how do I reply to Wireless?"

"Let's talk about it after the movie is released!" Waving his hand, Su Cheng said seriously: "According to my estimation, the box office of "Modern Bodyguard" will be around 1800 million Hong Kong dollars. According to the current figures of Bay Island, Singapore, Island Country, and other countries in previous years As far as the market is concerned, the total box office will not be less than 4500 million Hong Kong dollars. According to the distribution ratio of Shaw Brothers, the revenue will not be less than 1500 million Hong Kong dollars."

After a pause, Su Cheng said: "Except for Xiangjiang's local box office share, the distribution in other countries and regions is all handled by Shaw Brothers. We only charge what we deserve. For "Modern Bodyguard", don't talk about it." It also needs 1100 million Hong Kong dollars. If not, it can be handed over to Golden Harvest for distribution."

"1100 million Hong Kong dollars? Doesn't that mean that our company can get about 2100 million Hong Kong dollars for this film. After removing the cost of 700 million Hong Kong dollars, we can make a huge profit of 1400 million Hong Kong dollars?" Liang Shuyi said in shock.

Smiling, Su Cheng said: "Manager Liang, our previous publicity expenses and the wages of employees for about 2 months have to be excluded. The profit should be about 1100 million Hong Kong dollars to 1200 million Hong Kong dollars! However, the premise is that, You can sign the contract with Shaw Brothers."

"Don't worry, Boss, I know what's going on in my heart, and I'm not afraid of making things difficult for Shaw Brothers!" At this moment, Liang Shuyi was full of confidence.

……

In a diner.

Sammo Hung led Yuan Biao, Yuan Kui, Yuan Hua, Lin Zhengying, Wu Ma and others while drinking, and said casually, "Have you all seen the news published in the newspaper today? The movie "Modern Bodyguard" has already been released." It broke tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and I am afraid that it will have a box office of 1500 million Hong Kong dollars at least by the time the painting is released."

Yuan Biao and the others echoed, "Elder brother, the Xu brothers are really amazing!"

With a soft smile, Sammo Hung said: "You don't understand, it's not that Xu Guanwen and others are good, but the script written by Boss Su is good!"

Before everyone could react, Sammo Hung continued: "In addition to that "Modern Bodyguard", do you know that "Chasing Girls" directed by Wang Jing also broke a million Hong Kong dollars at the box office? This is only 3 days? Actually It only takes two days and one night to go online. How much will it cost when it goes down? 2 million Hong Kong dollars, 700 million Hong Kong dollars? Will it be another movie that breaks 800 million Hong Kong dollars?"

"Ah! This..." Yuan Biao and the others were indeed stunned.

"Brother, what do you mean?" Yuen Biao was the first to sense that Sammo Hung said that he had other purposes.

Glancing at everyone, Sammo Hung said: "You all know that when I set up Garbo Film Company, the purpose was to give my brothers a job and a better life. However, after making a few films, the box office was not satisfactory. "

After a pause, Sammo Hung continued: "Look at Aaron again, with Mr. He's care, he is better than us."

After all, Golden Harvest did not give Sammo Hung more money, let alone vigorously develop Garbo Film Company.It's all their own tossing.When a movie is released, arrange it directly at Golden Harvest.

But what about Jackie Chan?Jiahe spent a lot of money to sign the contract.how much? 480 million Hong Kong dollars!The box office is much higher than any movie made by Sammo Hung!
And according to inside information, once Jackie Chan's "Junior Brother" becomes a big hit at the box office, Golden Harvest will send him to Hollywood.Just like Bruce Lee back then.

As for Sammo Hung, he is like a transparent person.

As a senior brother, how can you be willing?

Recently they are filming "Beware of Little Hands", Sammo Hung can feel that once this film is released, it will definitely be much better than the ones he shot before.In private, he also heard from Wang Jing that Boss Su admired him very much.

Once he joins Tengyue Entertainment Company, except him, Sammo Hung, who can be the director, all members of the Hong Family Class, as long as they work in the company, will have a basic salary of 2000 Hong Kong dollars per month.

In addition, that is, Tengyue Entertainment has a lot of scripts, so it is not afraid that there will be no scenes to shoot.

For directors, Teng Yue Entertainment Company will treat them favorably, with a 5% to 10% bonus of film profits.

Take the "Chasing Girls" directed by Wang Jing this time. Once the box office exceeds 600 million Hong Kong dollars, then Tengyue Entertainment will share 500 million Hong Kong dollars.The profit is HK$50 million.Wang Jing will get a director bonus of [-] Hong Kong dollars!
And if it was Sammo Hung, I am afraid there will not be so much, but at least there will be a dividend of 35 Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, Tengyue Entertainment's dividends are specifically aimed at Xiangjiang's local box office.Issued to other regions and countries, it has nothing to do with them.

In addition, there is a screenplay bonus.For those who pass the company's review and shoot, when the movie is profitable, there will be a dividend ranging from 3% to 8%.

Although joining the Tengyue Entertainment Company, the freedom will be restricted to a certain extent, but it is a great thing for the entire Hong family class.After all, in addition to the monthly basic salary, everyone has a share in the remuneration, as well as the dividends after the film is released, it's just a matter of more or less.

Coupled with He Guanchang's attitude towards them recently, and Wang Jing's sincere wooing, Sammo Hung hesitated for a long time before expressing his thoughts face to face at this time.

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you.In the end, it was Lin Zhengying who said, "Should we leave Golden Harvest now?"

After waving his hands, Sammo Hung said, "No! Wait until "Little Hands" is released and A-Long goes to Hollywood."

This is a time period he chose after careful consideration.After all, Sammo Hung didn't know if every script written by Boss Su would be so good at the box office?

Besides, Aaron was in Xiangjiang, and they didn't want to tear their skin apart.Who let him and Jiahe He Guanchang still have a "father-son" relationship in name!
