Rebirth of Hong Kong Island: The Kung Fu Movie King's Extra Practice

Chapter 11 Earn three years in two months

Chen Fei smiled lightly: "Thank you Director Wu and Master Ba for your trust."

Yuan Heping smiled and said: "This is a bright road that many people dream of. Young man, cherish it."

"In terms of time, you can start the trial shooting for a week to get used to each other." Wu Siyuan continued.

"The official shooting time is expected to be about one month, and the entire cycle will not exceed two months in total."

Seeing Chen Fei's calm reaction, Yuan Heping added: "Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we can only switch back to Cheng Long."

Wu Siyuan continued to ask: "In terms of business and salary, Chen Fei, what are your requirements?"

Chen Fei replied: "I want to hear your arrangements."

Wu Siyuan said: "Making movies is naturally much more lucrative than ordinary jobs. You can get 5 Hong Kong dollars."

He pursed his lips and smiled, his gold-rimmed glasses flashing with a hint of gold: "Although this money is not a lot, it is enough for an ordinary family to earn for several years."

Chen Fei knew that what Wu Siyuan said was true. In this era, an ordinary person's monthly salary is only one or two thousand Hong Kong dollars. 5 yuan is indeed enough for an ordinary person to work hard for three years.

The unknown Chenglong signed a contract with director Luo Wei, and his monthly fixed salary was only 3000 yuan.

Later, he was loaned out by Wu Siyuan to film "The Snake". The filming period lasted two months and he was given a salary of 6 yuan.

Now Chen Fei is only given a salary of 5 yuan, which is obviously much more cost-effective than Chenglong, and it also solves the shooting problem.

It can be seen that this director Wu Siyuan is scheming, has a shrewd business acumen, and his calculations are very loud. He will not accept it.

"No!" Chen Fei shook his head without hesitation.

Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping never thought that Chenfei would refuse such a generous salary condition.

The two raised their eyebrows, slightly confused.

Chen Fei made a quick calculation in his mind, but he had already made up his mind.

"Is it possible that little brother Chen Fei still thinks the pay is too low?" Wu Siyuan raised his gold-rimmed glasses and asked.

Chen Fei still shook his head: "No, no, the pay is quite a lot."

"It's just that I don't want a paycheck!"

He continued this sentence, which made Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping startled again.

Yuan Heping asked curiously: "You don't want to be paid? What do you think?"

Chen Fei said loudly: "I want to share the box office profits and advance together with the company!"

Wu Siyuan looked at the young man in surprise.

Rather than taking away the money that is safe and secure, Chen Fei is really a bit courageous in order to strive for future expected returns!
When it comes to investing in a movie, no one is sure of winning at the box office, and you may lose everything at any time.

Even the great director Lo Wei, who made Bruce Lee famous, has such a strong talent, the kung fu movies he made for Cheng Long in the past two or three years have been terrible.

Although my "Snake" was lucky enough to have a box office of 260 million, it does not mean that the next one will definitely be a box office success.

"Okay, you have an idea, young man is very brave!" Wu Siyuan couldn't help but praise.

Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping exchanged a look and said: "In order to repay your support for the company, you can finally get 5% of the box office profit dividend."

He knows in his heart that after taking into account various costs and theater sharing, a movie can get 50% of the net profit.

A conservative estimate, assuming that the new movie can continue the success of "Snake Man" and get 260 million at the box office, there will also be a profit of 130 million, giving Chenfei a dividend of 6.5, which is still acceptable.

What Wu Siyuan never dreamed of was that Chen Fei had long known that "Drunken Master" was a hit at the box office after its release and took in 676 million.

The net profit after halving, if based on this 5% dividend, would be at least 16.5 yuan at a rough calculation.

What's more, after participating, the box office revenue may be even higher.

"Okay, Chen Fei will use these three months to work hard to create a future!" Chen Fei said firmly.

"Very good, welcome to join!"

Wu Siyuan stretched out his warm hand and shook hands with Chen Fei tightly.

Yuan Heping also stretched out his hand and held their hands together.

Today's encounter with this young man really left an extraordinary impression on him.

"I will arrange the contract documents and sign them together when you arrive." Wu Siyuan emphasized.

"Three days later, at nine o'clock in the morning, we will meet at Shaw Brothers Studios in Clear Water Bay." "Okay, thank you two directors, see you then!" Chen Fei said happily.

……

Morning Village, Yuen Long, New Territories, Hong Kong Island.

Taking advantage of the dinner chat time, Chen Fei told Chen's father and Chen's mother what happened today at Siyuan Pictures.

The two old men did not appear as happy as they imagined.

Dad Chen kept his head down and smoking, silent.

Chen's mother said while adding Laohuo soup into Chen Fei's bowl.

"Son, we are down-to-earth and live our lives faithfully. We don't expect any extravagant wealth."

"It's enough for the family to be safe and tidy."

The cigarette butt in Chen Dayong's hand flickered, and he smoked it quickly.

He threw the cigarette butt at the door and said, "I don't really agree with making kung fu movies!"

"This matter is quite dangerous." He glanced at Chen Fei.

"Look, a kung fu master as strong as Bruce Lee suddenly disappeared after three years of filming!"

Upon hearing this, the worry in my mother's eyes became even stronger.

"Ah Fei, my parents had a son in their later years, and you are the only one..."

Chen Fei smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, your son has grown up."

Chen's mother said: "Dad and I can also see that A Fei has been working hard to train himself and his body is getting stronger and stronger."

"But how can a parent not worry about his son?"

Her eyes looked at her son leisurely, still so gentle and firm.

"Mom and Dad, my son has grown up and has his own ideals. He is not willing to stay in this remote housing estate at such a young age for the rest of his life."

Chen Fei pursed his lips and said firmly: "I want to go out and give it a try!"

Chen Dayong stared silently into his son's eyes, as if he saw a burning flame in those bright eyes.

In a flash of thought, Dad Chen seemed to see himself again many years ago, when he was eager to try.

Didn't the once young and energetic self also yearn for the vast world outside?

After a long while, he finally sighed: "Okay!"

"You have to promise your parents that you will do everything with your heart and be careful, and don't force yourself."

"If something goes wrong when you go out, don't force it, just come back to Chencun immediately."

Chen Fei nodded vigorously, tears suddenly filling his eyes.

My parents' deep love for me weighs more than a thousand pounds.

Although these are not her real biological parents, this family affection is no different from that of her biological parents.

Among the parents in the world, which one is not worrying about gains and losses for their children who are about to go out to make a living?

"Okay, let's eat quickly, the food is getting cold!"

Mother Chen quietly wiped away the tears from her eyes.

……

"By the way, I'd better deliver the vegetables to Tsim Sha Tsui tomorrow."

"Let A Guang help deliver the rest. I will explain it to him first."

Chen Fei ate his meal and asked his parents to relax.
