Chapter 306 Box Office Dividend System
According to this newspaper, the comedy kung fu film "The Prodigal Boy", which is invested by Xiehe Company, directed by Sammo Hung, and starring Yuen Biao, Lin Zhengying, Chen Xunqi, Wu Ma, etc., premiered in 70 theaters in Hong Kong last night. Hundreds of citizens learned that the subject matter of this film was very novel, and they almost spent it laughing." "New Star Daily"

"China Post" reported: "This film has changed the old routine of "chivalrous heroes and hatred and hatred" in previous films of the same genre. "

"Based on fighting, assisted by literary drama, the film's action style is relatively realistic and interesting. The part where Lin Zhengying returns to the field to cultivate is the most fun. Originally, after Lin Zhengying's troupe Fengle Nian was purged, it should usually be after returning to seclusion. , take a good rest, and then take revenge, but there is no such meaning here, but the bickering between the two senior brothers, and some gag details, to name a few."

"Ming Pao" Jin Yong's commentary topic said: "It is precisely because of the existence of such enterprising filmmakers as Wang Xiaohu that we can be more gratified to see the progress of Hong Kong films. Maybe his last film failed, but in the messy and rotten world In the film, whether it is "The Snake" or "The Prodigal Boy", the bursts of laughter will be brought to everyone, and the depression in the heart of last month will be swept away. .”

"Comedy and kung fu movies are very popular among the public. After Bruce Lee's death, most filmmakers imitated Bruce Lee's style. Wang Xiaohu found a unique way to integrate comedy and kung fu movies into a new style, leading Hong Kong movies in a new direction. Development." "Hong Kong Women's Daily" reported.

All the newspapers are reporting the extraordinary achievements of "The Prodigal Boy". Although the film's publicity before its release was opportunistic, it cannot conceal the great influence of "The Prodigal Boy" on the Hong Kong film industry.

Yes, Wang Xiaohu came back as the "savior" this time, not only swept the box office of 500 million before the film was released, but also created a new movie theme by the way, that is comedy kung fu movies.

When being interviewed by a reporter, a reporter asked: "Whether it's "The Snake" or "The Prodigal Boy", why do you start to have a soft spot for little people?"

Wang Xiaohu thought for a while and said: "It's not that I have a special liking for small people, but that everyone is used to Bruce Lee's national hero-like style. Everyone likes to watch big heroes, so I thought about it last year. Everyone always gets tired of watching big heroes sooner or later, and they should film the stories of small people."

Wang Xiaohu smiled when he said this, his white hair was extraordinarily dazzling under the flashlight, he held his chin and meditated: "Ordinary people are selfish, don't people kill themselves for themselves? Some time ago, everyone hated me very much. It’s unrealistic to say that I’m not angry, but after thinking about it carefully, everyone is not me, Wang Xiaohu, why do you think about me, you don’t understand what I’m doing, from everyone’s point of view, you are right , but I'm not wrong either."

The reporters were a little ashamed when they heard these words, and the super dragon fan who had angrily scolded Wang Xiaohu was even more ashamed. He walked to the front with a complicated heart and bowed deeply to Wang Xiaohu. When he raised his head, his voice was already choked up: " Mr. Wang Xiaohu, I’m sorry, some time ago my words were too extreme, if it caused confusion to your life, please forgive me, I.”

Wang Xiaohu waved his hand and said, "Hehe, actually I have forgiven you long ago.

"Thank you, thank you!" Super Dragon Fan broke down in tears, bowed three times and then wiped his tears and retreated.The interview scene immediately burst into applause, dedicated to Wang Xiaohu, who has a big heart, and even more dedicated to the reporter friend who is a super dragon fan who has the courage to admit his mistakes.

After the applause calmed down, Wang Xiaohu continued: "Brother Xiaolong's death hit me hard, but I know that blindly suffering cannot solve the problem. Movies have become an indispensable part of everyone's life. Whether you like it or hate it, you are right. It’s an affirmation for us filmmakers. So I have been trying to find a new development route, and I am very glad that everyone likes it.”

Within a week after the interview, the box office of "The Prodigal Boy" continued to rise. Maybe it was the fresh stimulation of the lottery that injected vitality into the Hong Kong film industry. Maybe everyone has transitioned from the Bruce Lee era. In short, everyone is gradually getting used to Wang Xiaohu's style. Comedy kung fu movie style, vying for the three leading actors including Yuen Biao, Lam Ching-ying, and Sammo Hung.

Especially Yuen Biao, he was already familiar to everyone earlier, but he has always been the second male lead, this time he acted as the male lead for the first time, and his performance was quite satisfactory. With "The Prodigal Boy", he was loved by Hong Kong citizens, and Yuen Biao walked on the street Strangers would strike up a conversation: "Hi, Liang Zan is going home?" "Is Liang Zan shopping?"

Liang Zan yelled that he couldn't take it anymore, and hid in the company and poured out bitterness on his colleagues: "Oh, I used to try my best to become famous when I was not famous, but I didn't expect that there would be so many troubles after becoming famous!"

Seeing this, Jackie Chan blew his beard and stared, and the instigators shouted: "Grandma, A Biao is just showing off. Didn't you see that I've made two films and haven't become popular yet? Brothers beat him up, and see if he's still doing it in the future." Do not pretend."

When Wang Xiaohu came, the place was bustling. Yuen Biao fled in embarrassment after being chased by Jackie Chan and others. Seeing Wang Xiaohu coming in, he immediately hid behind him and asked for help: "Ah Hu, save me quickly, they want to beat me up."

"Hehe, you kid must be bragging, right? I didn't see that Aaron is depressed now, you, you are asking for trouble!" Wang Xiaohu said with a smile, and then said to Jackie Chan: "Aaron, don't worry. I will arrange for "Drunken Master" to be released, and then you will be popular!"

"Really?" Jackie Chan stared at Wang Xiaohu suspiciously, a little distrustful and a little confused.

Wang Xiaohu can understand the meaning, he knows that Jackie Chan is a relatively arrogant person, and he also knows that Jackie Chan has his own ideas, and his brothers will be successful in the Hong Kong film circle sooner or later, and he is their best The leader, the best mentor and bole.

"Of course it's true! Didn't you see that the box office performance of "Serpentine Hands" is picking up these days? Sometimes you have to believe in yourself!" Wang Xiaohu patted Jackie Chan on the shoulder and entered the office with a smile.Then he called Sammo Hung and Yuan Heping in.

"Brother Ping, senior brother Sanmao, sit down wherever you want." Wang Xiaohu said, "Today I call you to discuss the box office dividend."

"Dividends?" Sammo Hung and Yuan Heping looked at each other. Although Wang Xiaohu had mentioned the dividends half a year ago, at that time Bruce Lee passed away, "Serpentine Hands" hit the street, and the company was in a downturn. Everyone forgot.

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said: "Yes. I have seen everyone's hard work in the past six months and kept it in my heart. I am already very grateful that everyone did not abandon me at the most difficult time. This time our company has made some progress. Improvement, and the promises made before must be fulfilled.”

The market for Hong Kong movies is not very big, and Wang Xiaohu is not selfish enough to complete all the classic movies. He will let the Seven Little Fortune brothers come to the top, and he will do what he wants and make his favorite movies.

The reason why the Shaw Brothers Group can’t keep people is because Golden Harvest took the lead in launching the partner system, that is, encouraging its pillars and popular movie stars to set up branch companies to produce independently. If they are unable to produce independently, they can also get part of the box office. dividends.

It's just that Zou Wenhuai's plan to be called "the hand of God" in later generations was disturbed by Wang Xiaohu's three actions, five divisions and two divisions, but Wang Xiaohu did not deny the correctness of Zou Wenhuai's "Huairou" policy. Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan and others have all become Golden Harvest's satellite companies, and their development momentum is also good. This is one of the reasons why Golden Harvest has been able to stand in the Hong Kong film industry for decades.

As a reborn person, Wang Xiaohu even copied Bruce Lee's scripts and actions. What's more, this so-called system, he must implement Golden Harvest's strategy. If the dividend system is not activated now, more hidden dangers will definitely erupt within Concorde.This is not impossible. In the past, Wang Xiaohu led his brothers to fight against the country. Now that the country is getting stable, he must consider how to stabilize the country.The dividend system is just the first step he has to take.

"Everyone has been with me for more than a year. We have also made many popular films in the past year, but you all know the money. I personally invested it." Wang Xiaohu seemed to be summarizing, and like It is a calm narrative, in fact, whether it is "The Righteous Man", "Ip Man", "Enter the Dragon", "Rocky", including "Serpentine Hands", "Drunken Master", "Prodigal Boy" and all other films All the costs and expenses were paid by Wang Xiaohu personally.

Among the money is the 600 million US dollars he "handled" in Japan, his box office dividends and salary. With the booming box office, the initial funds are getting more and more, but he also does a lot of things, Dragon and Tiger Warrior Trade unions, the acquisition of theaters, the establishment of overseas branches, etc., etc., can make so many achievements, even Wang Xiaohu himself is surprised!
Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, so when Wang Xiaohu said these words with full confidence, it was taken for granted that no one else could say no.

"I've been thinking about it for a long time. Starting from "The Serpentine Hand", I plan to use one-tenth of the box office as a dividend, and I will get this one-tenth according to everyone's performance in the film and the billy they paid. .I don’t know if you have any opinions?”
-
This chapter must exist. Considering his situation, Wang Xiaohu did the right thing, and he will not let Wang Xiaohu alone pay for the films he will shoot in the future.

　I was a little angry today, and some of the things I said in the group were a bit extreme. June was not very smooth. First, the computer was scrapped, and the saved manuscripts and outlines were lost.
