"Of course I have confidence, otherwise I wouldn't have come up with it to cooperate with Mr. Shao, if you want to say how confident you are, I think the box office is at least much higher than your interstellar blunt tire and Jiahe's new Shushan swordsman." Qiao Feng smiled confidently.

Hearing Qiao Feng say this, Shao Yifu was not surprised, if Qiao Feng expected a flower that was lower than the films that he and Jiahe valued, it would be impossible for Qiao Feng to come up with it and say that he was going to compete with Xinyicheng for the Spring Festival stalls.

So he asked a nonsense question, Shao Yifu smiled bitterly in his heart, and asked the key point he was most concerned about.

"Mr. Qiao, how much do you expect to invest in this zombie film?"

Qiao Feng groaned in his heart, he knew that the original Mr. Zombie had invested a total of eight and a half million, but now the investment would definitely not be used so much.

First of all, the actor's salary at this time will definitely be lower than that of the original time and space in 85 years, and other crew expenses will also be low, these are all certain.

Another is that when the original film was filmed, there were frequent situations in the middle, especially Liu Guanwei, who was a first-time director, who used to be a photographer and had high requirements for the picture, but the script was filmed and felt that there was a problem and had to be changed, and it cost a lot of money to shoot waste film, waste sets, etc.

So obviously the initial estimated investment was 4.5 million, and the shooting time was one month, but when it was completed, it cost another 4 million additional investment, which was twice the original investment, and the time spent was three months longer.

The script provided by Qiao Feng is directly the storyboard script of the finished film, and there is not much space for editing according to the script, so there is no need to waste so much manpower, material and financial resources like the original filming, labor, scenery, film, etc., Qiao Feng feels that at least more than three million can be saved, and the investment of five million is enough.

"I think five million is enough." Qiao Feng said after roughly calculating it in his heart.

"You want us to invest 5 million in a zombie movie, just kidding, I heard that Hong Jinbao only invested more than 1 million when he filmed ghosts and ghosts, and he got more than 5 million at the box office. Fang Yihua choked.

Fang Yihua is purely vexatious, and the betting and income are not counted like this.

Qiao Feng smiled helplessly: "Miss Fang, if you calculate it like this, I heard that Hong Jinbao's ghost fighting sister chapter that is about to start filming is scary, and Golden Harvest has also given an investment of four million, and the box office should be 20 million in the end, do you think it is possible?"

"Oh, don't you say that I didn't know that Jiahe was going to make a zombie movie, then we can't invest in you, two films of the same type will definitely affect each other, and Jiahe is going to release the New Shushan Swordsman during the Spring Festival, so Hong Jinbao's film is the most likely to be released on Christmas and New Year's Day. Speaking of this, Fang Yihua looked at Shao Yifu and said, "Sixth brother, he is cheating us, we can't invest."

Shao Yifu had been smiling at Fang Yihua and Qiao Feng's battle of words before, but now that Fang Yihua had brought the words to him, he could no longer stand by.

"What Miss Fang said is not unreasonable, Mr. Qiao, I think it's not time to make this zombie movie now, or let's change the schedule.:

Changing the schedule, Qiao Feng naturally refused to accept it, otherwise why would he come to Shaw Brothers, he could get it on Jiahe's side, and the people on Jiahe's side didn't ask how much they wanted to invest, they only said that as long as they changed the schedule, they could cooperate in investment at any time.

It's really that Jiahe's confidence in the Xinshu Mountain Swordsman is too much, and the investment is too big, Qiao Feng feels that it is impossible to convince them to hurry up when the box office is not ideal, and Qiao Feng doesn't want to say too much about how bad the Xinshu Mountain Swordsman is.

In fact, the overall special effects of that film are good enough in Hong Kong in this era, and the story is not bad, but it is really Xu Ke, the director, who pursues the special effects picture too much, but does not tell the real point well, which leads to the final box office will not be ideal.

Qiao Feng didn't want to offend Xu Ke because he said that the swordsmen of Xinshu Mountain were not good.

Xu Ke is one of the few directors in the Hong Kong film industry who has his own style and is willing to stick to his own style, rather than blindly looking to the money.

In the original time and space, in the future, China's special effects blockbusters will be Xu Ke and a few other directors who are the best to play.

If there is no special reason, Qiao Feng feels that Golden Harvest is really the most suitable film company for cooperation in the Hong Kong film industry.

It's a pity that this time Qiao Feng only has one option to choose from Shaw Brothers.

With a gambling contract, Shao Yifu is still not optimistic about zombie movies, and he is reluctant to invest even five million, but Qiao Feng can't give up.

He had no choice but to discuss: "Otherwise, if Mr. Shao feels that he is afraid of losing money in investment, I will also participate in the investment.

"Mr. Qiao just wants to make this zombie movie, is he so optimistic about it?" Hearing that Qiao Feng not only wanted to invest half of his own money, but also took the initiative to reduce his profit share, Shao Yifu was a little moved.

You must know that Qiao Feng's script can be divided into 10% of the total box office of the movie, which is still low later, at the beginning of the gambling God, Qiao Feng's share of the total box office was 20%, and a film earned more than 10 million and almost 20 million.

The 10% share is also quite high, but if you take the initiative to invest half of the investment, plus the script accounts for 60% of the total profit, Qiao Feng is equivalent to earning more than 5% of the total box office income that the script could have shared.

Because if you calculate the pure profit, the investors of a movie can get half of the box office at most, that is, 50%.

I see clearly that this is saying that at most half of it can be divided, which can basically be achieved in Hong Kong like Shaw Brothers who have their own theaters, because their own movies are released in their own theaters, so they basically will not deduct the distribution costs, anyway, it is a left-handed to right-handed thing.

Otherwise, a cinema chain takes half of the box office, the distributor takes another 5 to 15 percent, and the investor is left with only 45 to 35 percent of the box office revenue.

(Of course, this is just a rough calculation, if you want to calculate carefully, if you are as strict as Hollywood or later the Chinese film market, you will end up with less money left to the investor, I don't know if I still owe money.)

But in Hong Kong, where it has its own theater chain, it is not cost-effective to share the profit or score the total box office, at least the original 10% of the total box office score that Wu Yuanqing's script can get is greatly discounted, and 5% of it is snickering, in fact, it is impossible, because the profit of Waifu is lower, so Wu Yuanqing is desperate to lose a lot of interests this time to shoot this Mr. Zombie.

"I must shoot this film, as long as Mr. Shao thinks that the bet contract is still valid, the Spring Festival schedule may be let out, even if I invest all of my money, I will shoot it."
