Golden Age 1990

Chapter 55 Seven million!a good show

It really surprised Bai Feng, and even He Ping's expression changed a little.

But Bai Feng was not affected.

He had already planned the marketing of the movie "Swordsman in Double Flag Town" from the very beginning, and this time he was going to do it right!
Of course Bai Feng wasn't the best.

Indeed, in our mainland, this movie hardly caused even the slightest splash.

However, Bai Feng knew very well that this movie was later evaluated as a classic of a generation.

He is very convinced that for such a classic movie, someone will discover it, it is only a matter of time.

Just like Van Gogh.

The master's paintings became famous many years after his death, of course there are many twists and turns in the story.

But since Bai Feng is here, why not let this "Swordsman in Double Flag Town" become famous when it is still in theaters!
So, the meeting started, Bai Feng stood on the stage and said so.

"Dear guests, for the movie "Swordsman in Double Flag Town", I must first introduce the real situation, that is, this movie did not succeed in mainland China.

However, there is no reason for success, I believe you also understand.

The current mainland film market is indeed at a low ebb, and it is difficult for even a good film to succeed.

Now, we have the opportunity to make this movie shine in Hong Kong!

Dear guests, we hope to have in-depth cooperation with the Hong Kong cinema chain, with the model of sharing accounts..."

There was still something in Bai Feng's speech, but it was completely audible that he was bitten to death, and he planned to take the route of dividing the bill.

But before he could finish speaking, someone interrupted him rudely.

"It's too troublesome to divide the accounts! Why not just package them up and sell them!" It was Cai Ziming who spoke. What was going on?

Didn't you work well with Bai Feng before?
Just when many people were still a little confused, Cai Ziming directly entered the bidding process.

"I'll pay 200 million! I, Cai Ziming, will accept the distribution rights of this movie in Hong Kong!"

200?
No one else said anything, Teacher He Ping became excited when she heard it.

For the previous film "New Year", in fact, the money that went to Beijing Film Studio was probably that much.

In other words, this bid is already quite good.

At present, the mainland film that has achieved the greatest success in Hong Kong is "The Love of Terracotta Warriors", but in fact, this film is actually a Hong Kong film.

The director and many people in important positions are Hong Kong filmmakers. Even the director is Cheng Xiaodong.

A bid of 200 million is considered a bit risky.

"This..." Bai Feng looked hesitant on the stage.

Obviously, he also intends to insist on splitting accounts.

But before he could say anything, another bid was made immediately.

"I'll pay 250 million!"

It's the big brother, and with a wave of his fat hand, he is really very stylish.

Many people present were also surprised, and at this point, they almost reacted.

What kind of small meeting is this? It is clearly the auction for the distribution rights of the movie "Swordsman in Double Flag Town"!

"I'll offer 300 million!" Cai Ziming increased the price directly, and looked at the big brother with a smile.

It has to be said that Big Brother is really in the limelight now, but he also knows how to behave, and Cai Ziming responded with a smile.

Hmm... Judging from this attitude, it is almost completely certain that Big Brother is here on behalf of Golden Harvest.

The subtext of his smile should probably be: I also work for others.

I believe Cai Ziming can also understand it.

In this way, the face can't be passed.

And the price of 300 million that Cai Ziming offered at this moment...

"Thank you Mr. Cai for your enthusiasm, but we still think it's better to split the bill."

Bai Feng was directly rejected on stage!

300 million this guy doesn't like it?
The guests present were all very surprised. You know, in today's gangster movies, the arms deals and other deals are only in the millions.

These movies come from 'life'.

One million is really a lot of money in Hong Kong, don't be greedy, kid.

And He Ping couldn't help but swallow her saliva. He really wanted to go up and kick Bai Feng off the stage, and then he directly agreed to the price of 300 million.

300 million means that in Hong Kong, a box office of 600 million is needed to make the theaters break even. This box office is indeed not high, but mainland films are rarely available.

It's a pity that He Ping was still timid after all, and didn't dare to go up and kick.

"Baifeng!" Cai Ziming slammed the table, "Is 300 million a small amount? Are you going too far?"

This guy is acting like a gangster, it really fits the environment... Well, it's actually quite normal.

Who doesn’t understand Hong Kong’s entertainment industry?
It's fine if you don't understand it as an outsider, but the people present here are all insiders, and they know it very well.

The influence of the gangster is really powerful in the entertainment circle.

Is it okay not to give face?

But Bai Feng didn't have any fear on his face, he looked quite tough.

Is there anyone to support him?

But at this moment, someone raised his hand.

"310 million!"

Everyone looked at him, this, this...

He made an offer, which was expected. After all, everyone else came, which meant they were interested in the movie.

But this markup? ? ?You only added [-]?

Cai Ziming's expression changed in an instant, but he suppressed his anger for the time being, and said with a smile, "Sir, isn't this a little too much?"

"Why is it too much?"

"You haven't made less money in recent years, have you? The price increase of 10 yuan, are you sorry?"

"What's there to be embarrassed about? Anyway, this is not an auction. There is no limit on price increases."

What he said was indeed reasonable, even if Cai Ziming was angry, there was really nothing he could do.

But, now that everything is like this...

"320 million!"

"330 million!"

"340 million!"

"350 million!"...

Good guys, these two are totally incompetent.

And just add one hundred thousand, this situation is really jaw-dropping.

Many people were panicked, and some even wondered, would there be brothers waiting outside, and they would go straight out of this meeting today?
Maybe, it's really not uncommon for Hong Kong Island to start fighting these days.

At this time, Bai Feng on the stage wanted to speak, but someone rushed ahead of him.

"You two!" It was still the eldest brother.

This time he simply got up, walked in front of Bai Feng, and turned around.

An interesting scene, that is, Big Brother seems to be blocking Bai Feng.

The subtext should be...

The elder brother continued to laugh and said: "I think you two are arguing over each other, so why bother. When we do business, we focus on harmony and wealth. How about this? Give me some face, and leave this movie to us." good?
We offer 700 million! "

Good guy, 700?
This has increased so much all of a sudden, it has increased by 300 million... Well, wait a minute, 300 million?
Hearing this number, he stopped talking immediately.

Although his face is not good-looking.

And Cai Ziming is even more interesting, he smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Brother, you are so hot."

It seemed that neither of them could accept such a high price.

Does anyone else have more than this?
Naturally there is no more.

The eldest brother turned around at this time. He was naturally smiling and said, "Brother Bai, you won't insist on it anymore, will you?"

Bai Feng seemed to be a different person at this moment, "Of course! This "Swordsman in Double Flag Town" will be handed over to Big Brother. I grew up watching Big Brother's movies."

As soon as he said this, the audience burst into laughter.

The atmosphere that seemed to be tense just now was simply an illusion.

He Ping even rubbed her eyes, was she dreaming?

700?
How much box office does this movie need to ensure that it does not lose money?
Does Big Brother think this movie can surpass "Ancient and Modern War between Qin Terracotta Warriors"?
This is impossible!

He Ping was almost stunned, but he naturally thought of a good thing.

Anyway, after the 700 million deal is completed, he won't lose money on this movie, and he can be regarded as an explanation to the West Film Studio, and he can even be regarded as one of the few famous directors in mainland China who can make money. .

happy!

Fortunately, this guy forced himself to suppress his inner impulse.

I don't know if he will hold back something wrong.

Bai Feng quickly took out the prepared contract and signed it with the big brother.

And this time...

"Boy, do you know how to do it?"

The distance between the two is very close, and the eldest brother's voice is very low.

Bai Feng nodded, and replied in a very low voice, "Of course I know."

The eldest brother laughed loudly after hearing this.

The signing will be completed soon...

At this point, He Ping suddenly thought of a question... What had Bai Feng prepared before?
Can a split-bill contract be the same as a package buyout contract?
Is it...

"Teacher He Ping, are you unhappy?" Bai Feng finished the business order, and naturally thought of He Ping.

At this moment, He Ping looked at Bai Feng, her face was naturally happy, "Haha...of course I'm happy."

But inside, he had a feeling of fear.

This kid has been prepared for a long time!

If this is the case, then he... is so wise that he is almost a demon!

……

In fact, Bai Feng is not that demonic, he just made preparations in advance.

And this preparation included discussing with Cai Ziming.

The two play a play.

After the meeting, Bai Feng got into Cai Ziming's luxury car.

"Brother! Sure enough, you guessed it right!"

"Mr. Cai, thank you for your help."

"Haha...it's nothing, it's just to help you raise the price, it's a small thing."

"Thank you, Mr. Cai. Without your help, this matter would not have gone so smoothly. The 300 million..."

Just mentioned 300 million, Cai Ziming waved his hand.

"It doesn't need to be so much. If you can get back this salary, you have also contributed a lot, brother. It will be 250 million."

"This one……"

"Oh, let me use this 50 yuan to drink tea."

Sure enough, Cai Ziming went on the road, and 50 was regarded as the tea fee.

In fact, the eldest brother shouted out a price tag of 700 million, and the 300 million more is the key.

You know, even if it is a real auction, you can still regret it, and you will lose a small amount of money at most. What's more, this is not an auction in the first place, so of course you can negotiate the details when bidding.

Not to mention that what was signed at the venue was actually a contract of intent.

The big brother obviously came with the task of Jiahe, and Jiahe owed Li 300 million in salary.

Cai Ziming supported Li, Jiahe and the others couldn't bear it, and now they froze, and taking this opportunity, the big brother can propose that the 300 million is considered as compensation for Li.

If Bai Feng did not agree, of course Big Brother would not sign the contract.

Bai Feng understood everything, of course he agreed directly.

Cai Ziming also helped Li successfully pay his salary, and was very happy.

It's just the amount of money, 250...

　Thank you for your support, I sincerely ask for your support, I really appreciate it.

　　Well, the last chapter mentioned that "Eight Liang Gold" was the first literary film in Hong Kong. Well, I was surprised when the black car found it, but it is true when I think about it carefully. Hong Kong films have always been mainly commercial films, isn't it? Martial arts action is a comedy, a ghost movie, etc., a movie that is not for commercial purposes, and this is indeed the first one.
