Chapter 35: Wang Jing's Cheekiness
A month after the release, the best loss friend was painted offline from the Shaw Brothers theater, and the final box office was 20 million and 50,000.
So far, the Shaw Brothers, which have been in decline in recent years, suddenly have the only two movies that have exceeded 20 million box office.
At this time, the filming of the best friend has also ended and moved into post-production.
However, this time Shao Yifu did not urge Wang Jing to complete post-production as soon as possible, because two blockbusters with a box office of more than 20 million appeared in a row, and the audience's spending power and enthusiasm for watching the movie were greatly consumed, and the best loss of friends is the sequel to the best loss of friends, too tight release will also cause aesthetic fatigue of watching the movie, if the box office of the best loss of friends is released at this time, it will definitely not be very ideal, so based on these considerations, Shao Yifu decided to put the release of the best loss of friends to the next year.
After the best friend was painted, Qiao Feng received his three million screenwriter's remuneration, in addition to these three million, Qiao Feng also received the box office share of the God of Gamblers released in Taiwan, South Korea, Yueben, Southeast Asia and other places.
In this book alone, the box office of the God of Gamblers won 1.5 billion yuan, which is converted into 30 million Hong Kong dollars.
Qiao Feng can share 20% of it, that is, 13 million, plus the Hong Kong box office that he has received before is divided into 5 million, just one film of God of Gamblers, Wu Yuanqing has earned as much as 18 million.
"I made a small 20 million yuan by writing a script, which is more than we made a movie, and it was completely a money-grabbing thing. Although he already knew it in his heart, after getting the accurate news, He Guanchang was still amazed.
"Yes, Shao Lao Liu has been picking at him all his life, but he didn't expect to be bitten by a hairy boy from him when he was old." Zou Wenhuai gloated and said.
He Guanchang smiled: "But this time, it hurts Shao Yifu's flesh, the box office of the best friend has also broken 20 million, and the overseas box office must be indispensable, but Qiao Feng can only get 3 million screenwriter's salary, compared to the 18 million earned by the God of Gamblers, it is not even a fraction, I don't know if Qiao Feng's kid will be dissatisfied."
"Dissatisfaction is certain, from eighteen million to three million, no one can accept this huge gap alone, but this is also giving us a chance, if he and Shaw Brothers have been working together happily, we are not good at poaching people, but now..." Speaking of this, Zou Wenhuai looked at He Guanchang and asked, "How is the contact with Wang Jing, did he agree to come and make a film for us?"
He Guanchang nodded with a smile: "It's done, the director's salary is 500,000, and he agreed without saying a word, and he also promised to help persuade Qiao Feng to write a book."
"Good, very good." Zou Wenhuai said happily.
Just when the two giants of Jiahe talked about Wang Jing, Wang Jing was also eating crab roe buns as a lobbyist in Qiao Feng's tea restaurant.
"Ah Feng, Mr. He, Mr. Zou values you very much, Mr. He said, as long as you help Golden Harvest write the script, the salary is not a problem, it must be more than that given by Shaw Brothers, if the Hong Kong box office can exceed 20 million, you can even be given a 10% share of the total box office." Wang Jing had already said good things about Jiahe for a while, but seeing that Qiao Feng was indifferent, he simply went straight to the point now.
"Say, what benefits did Jiahe promise you, you are so enthusiastic to help them speak, some time ago, you told me that you would not cooperate with Jiahe." Qiao Feng asked with a smile.
"What's the matter, what benefits can Jiahe give me, nothing at all." Wang Jing was stunned for a moment when asked, and then shook his head violently and denied: "I just think that Shaw Brothers is too stingy, and I feel worthless for you, the box office of the best friend has passed 20 million, and I will only give you 3 million.
Qiao Feng looked at Wang Jing suspiciously: "It really didn't give you any benefits?"
"No, not really, I said that for your sake." Wang Jing shook his head vigorously to prove his innocence.
Qiao Feng stared at Wang Jing with a smile, as if he was distinguishing whether what he said was true or false, and when he saw Wang Jing's eyes looking around, his heart was beating faster, and he was about to tell the truth, Qiao Feng spoke: " I have a good cooperation with Shaw Brothers at present, and they have given a lot of three million screenwriter salaries, which is in line with the price in my heart.
What, Wang Jing was dumbfounded, if Jiahe gives me benefits and asks me to help persuade you, you will agree to write a script for them?
Mother, lie and kill people.
Wang Jing was moved and angry, you said it earlier, you said it earlier, I didn't tell the truth, where do you need to tell any lies.
Looking at the change in Wang Jing's face, and the expression of crying and wanting to cry without tears, Qiao Feng was secretly happy in his heart, dead fatty, let you lie to me, I don't know what kind of virtue you have.
Qiao Feng's words just now were deliberately teasing Wang Jing, from the time Wang Jing opened his mouth to talk about Jiahe, Qiao Feng had already seen the intention of this guy.
"Ah Feng, I'm sorry, forgive me, I lied to you just now, Jiahe gave me a salary of 500,000 for the director of a drama to let me film for them, but the premise is that you write a script." Wang Jing was thick-skinned enough, and after getting through the initial depression, he quickly adjusted his expression and nodded with a smile and apologized.
"Yo, what you just said about the relationship is all false, but I still think you have a good friend." Qiao Feng said a little sarcastically.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have played tricks on you, just forgive me." Wang Jing smiled without skin and face.
"It's not impossible to forgive you, but there has to be a condition." Qiao Feng raised his eyebrows.
"What conditions, you just say." Wang Jing was overjoyed and was busy with his promises.
Looking at Wang Jing's eagerness, Qiao Feng smiled: "The conditions are very simple, just divide half of your salary with me."
