Hong Kong Entertainment's Life Simulator

Chapter 35 The most important thing is one point

As soon as Zhao Donghuai and Cheng Long had a few polite words, Hong Jinbao came with Yuan Biao, greeted Guan Jiahui, stretched out his hand and smiled, "Director Zhao? I heard that brother Shan is working with you for dinner recently?"

Zhao Donghuai smiled after shaking hands, "Not to mention, Guan Sheng's acting skills are so good, it's more than enough to start work wherever he goes."

Hong Jinbao laughed, "To get Shao Daheng's 500 million investment, and to call Du Qifeng and Cheng Xiaodong to assist, Director Zhao is really young and promising, amazing!"

"When I saw it today, it turned out to be a boy born from a hero!"

Zhao Donghuai was dumb... This is really the reason, but he thought the 500 million was wholly owned by Shao Daheng?
Let's put it this way, in the whole year of 1983, until the end of the year, leaving aside the butterfly effect of Zhao Donghuai, only 9 films on Hong Kong Island had a box office of over 1000 million.

What concept?Take the box office of 1000 million yuan as an example, after deducting more than ten percent of the entertainment tax and handing it over to the Hong Kong government, some publicity and distribution fees will be deducted, and the rest will be divided between the theater chain and the producer, that is, the film company.

For ordinary film companies, producers get [-]% and theaters get [-]%.

For a movie with a box office of 1000 million, the film company can only pocket about [-] million.

With such a ratio, you said... a film with an investment of 1983 million in 500, how much?Is it common? ?If Zhao Donghuai's New World only takes 1000 million box office in Hong Kong Island, and only relies on the Hong Kong Island box office, it will lose more than 100 million.

Of course, the whole movie process is not that simple. In addition to the Hong Kong box office, you can also sell to Wanwan, the island country, South Korea and Southeast Asia, and you can also sell video tapes and so on.

However, the box office of nine films in Hong Kong exceeded [-] million throughout the year, which can still explain too many things.

In his relief, Cheng Long and Yuan Biao were also startled, and they looked at Director Zhao in disbelief, as if Zhang Guorong had to survive for 8 years, Cheng Long entered the industry in 71, and began to emerge in 78.

Hong Lingbao also endured for a long time, Yuan Biao?It was under the support of Hong Lingbao and Cheng Long that they went relatively smoothly.

Director Zhao smiled politely again, "I dare not be,..."

Anyone can say polite words, and Director Zhao has a good temper. He was polite for a while, and was introduced to Zhenbao Seafood Shop by Yuan Biao, watching a large group of guests coming and going.

After taking his seat, Director Zhao took a few glances before his eyes lit up, and said to Guan Jiahui, "Jiahui, I'm going to meet someone."

Guan Jiahui's eyes widened, "Brother Huai, who do you want to meet?"

Zhao Donghuai smiled and pointed his fingers not far away, where an old-looking young man was greeting a group of familiar or unfamiliar faces.

That's not a member of the protagonist group of the five lucky stars. The protagonist group is Big Brother Hong, Feng Suifan, Qin Xianglin, Wu Yaohan, and Cen Jianxun.

Zhong Haohong is now on the road to becoming popular.

But these are not the goals of Director Zhao. He is eyeing on Lin Zhengying. If he gives the genuine Infernal Affairs to Du Qifeng, the ideal candidate for the protagonist of his next new film will be Uncle Ying.

Don't get me wrong, Zhao Donghuai didn't want to film Mr. Zombie, so that Uncle Ying would become the most secure man in horror movies from now on, nor did he want to guide him to become a mentor for newcomers in the heavens and myriad worlds.

The next film he wants to make is Hurricane Rescue!
It relies on a rough old man to break through clubs and groups, relying on punches to the flesh, fast offensive and defensive transitions and fierce storms of counterattacks, using ultra-fast editing and handheld photography to create a sense of oppression and compactness, opening up another kind of Kung Fu movie style show.

During his steady shooting in the New World, didn't he never think about making other films, such as the lonely agent in the simulator that paralyzed him for more than half a year?But the protagonist of Lonely Agent is too young.

As far as stars are concerned, Hong Lingbao and Cheng Long are neither suitable for that style.

Li Lianjie...hasn't come to Hong Kong Island yet.

Hurricane Rescue is different. You only need a tough guy who looks old and can fight and maintain his aura. Lin Zhengying fits these perfectly. This Uncle Ying is only 31 years old this year, 3 years younger than Hong Lingbao.

But, go and watch the Five Lucky Stars. In this movie, Lin Zhengying plays the butler of the counterfeit money king, which looks a lot older than Hong Yubao in the movie.

In fact, Lin Zhengying is also at the age that can fight the most, and he is still playing one of the big villains in the second part of the Five Lucky Stars.

If Lin Zhengying can be invited to film Hurricane Rescue, then at least two films will be needed, right?It's definitely a blockbuster movie when it's done.

正版飓风营救1，制片成本2500万刀，然后北美票房1亿4500万刀，全球2亿2682万刀。

Also held out an action superstar.

If Zhao Donghuai makes the Hong Kong version, it is impossible to expect it to explode at the box office like the Hollywood version, but it is still possible to create a new type of kung fu film, and to have a contemporary kung fu star other than Hong Lingbao, Cheng Long, and Li Lianjie.

The difference is that he depends on whether he can poach Lin Zhengying from Hong's class to his film company, if he can't?It doesn't matter if you can't dig out, sign more movie contracts, such as how many hurricanes?
If you can't dig, cooperate.

He didn't plan to shoot the Mr. Zombie series, but if the cooperation is happy, he can tell Lin Zhengying his ideas in advance, and let him think about directing after the Hurricane, and he can invest some money to make some money.

In the prosperity of Hong Kong films in the 90s, the profits of making films were not much worse than those of finance and real estate.

Under his words, Guan Jiahui, "..."

Sister Guan looked at Lin Zhengying in astonishment, blinked, "Housekeeper??"

Her impression of Lin Zhengying was that of the grey-haired butler in the plot.

Under my heart, Sister Guan was even more astonished. For a great director like Zhao Donghuai and a future star, it wouldn't be a surprise to her if you left such a tender and divorced young woman like her to go to Zhong Yuhong.

She is confident that she is prettier than Zhong Yuhong, and at most it would be a shame to get divorced before the age of 21.

But leave her behind and go to Lin Zhengying? ?
After tens of seconds of confusion, Guan Jiahui blinked again, "Brother Huai, what are you doing? Preparing for a new film? Do you think Director Cheng's action scenes are not very good? Want to change?"

Zhao Donghuai laughed, "If Cheng sir listens to what you say, he will beat you."

Guan Jiahui covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly, and took the initiative to hold Zhao Donghuai's arm, "That's the new movie? Brother Huai, what is your new movie? Can I play it?"

They are already divorced, her daddy took her to meet people and go to different crews, just to pave the way for her in the future and to make a living.

But after meeting so many, there is no director who is as young and handsome as Director Zhao. When it comes to money, there is no director as handsome as Director Zhao!

Not to mention talent!
After all, it is a creative talent, TVB and Shaw Brothers admired the production crew, Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong admired and even admired the music production.

The most important thing is a little more money!single!Pretty!tall!Strong sense of authority!
The crew that invested 500 million yuan left as soon as they said it, without regret.

If you only count the local box office on Hong Kong Island, even if the box office breaks 500 million, you may still earn a little bit of money if it falls into your pocket.

But the box office of Hong Kong Island is 1500 million?In the original track, there were only 83 in Hong Kong in 5.

Of course, if you adopt another method of sharing, for example, you get [-]% in the first week, four in the theaters, five in the second five, four in the third week, and six in the theaters, your film company may earn a little more...

With the addition of dividends from Wanwan, Dao Nation, Southeast Asia, and video tapes, this will eventually make more money, but how can I say that many film companies have no distribution channels and leave it to Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers?
Half a year after its release, maybe the box office dividends in Southeast Asia are only tens of thousands of dollars? ?This is not impossible, it depends on whether publishers such as Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest will cheat you, and how they will cheat you.

Just like Hollywood movies attracting investment, layman investors are gods when making money. After the release, the box office exceeds [-] million US dollars, and the income of video tapes is also very good.

Investors happily came to share the money, and the film and television company settled the accounts, the boss, our project lost money... Don't look at the box office, those are just floating clouds, our real accounts have lost a lot.

Why don't you vote more?Definitely next time.
