Chapter 361: Half of the Country
Originally, when they heard that there was a new song, several people were very happy, but the elder brother opened his mouth to refuse, which made several people stunned for a moment.
"You owe me a song, I remember, and I won't be allowed to repay it later. Anita Mui glanced at her brother and seemed to understand what her brother meant, and she also spoke.
"Yes, yes, you owe us a song, remember it first. Andy Lau also reacted.
Maggie Cheung nodded and echoed beside her.
"Don't worry, even if I forget to eat, I won't forget to promise you or anything. Yang Dongxu smiled and raised his glass to everyone to have a drink.
When his brother opened his mouth to refuse, he was also stunned for a moment, and then tasted what it meant. In the music world, the name 'Xiao Xu' is a representative of the classics.
Over the years, I don't know how many people who want to ask him for songs have been rejected, unless the relationship is good, otherwise he only writes songs for his artists.
But this time, a few people came to do charity, and if one person went back and took a song by Xiao Xu, it would definitely attract a lot of people's attention. When the time comes, these people will also come to do charity, and then what if they ask Yang Dongxu to make an appointment?
Don't overestimate the moral bottom line of those who want to be famous, there are not many people who want to be famous in the entertainment industry, and there are many of them.
Back in Yanjing, Yang Dongxu first went to where his godfather was, and the old man who proposed the teaching plan before said that it had been a long time, but he didn't believe it at all, and he was a little anxious.
The result of the inquiry was that it was brewing, and it was still brewing after a few months, although it made Yang Dongxu feel a little delayed. But I am satisfied, after all, it is better to think that the proposal will be implemented if it is adopted, than if it is not adopted.
Leaving his godfather's house, Yang Dongxu went to Haina Company, the fundraising market has been a little chaotic recently, and many fundraisers are actually looking for celebrities to come to the platform, and he must tell the company's artists not to get involved in such things.
The arrival of the big boss Luo Wenhua naturally needs to make a report, first of all, the film and television department, after all, Li Zongsheng is in charge of the record, and his work is mainly inclined to the film and television department.
Compared with the previous two years, Haina Company has made a lot of gains in TV dramas, and this year the company has adjusted the proportion of TV dramas, and only one "Big Era" has been filmed for a whole year, which is still co-produced with TVB, and it will be released after the National Day.
Compared with the unique seedlings in TV dramas, Haina Company's investment in movies in the past few years is not small, and the four movies played by Maggie Cheung alone are not counted.
Zhou Xingxing's "The Legend of Deer and Ding", "The Legend of Deer and Ding 2: The Dragon Master", "Truant Weilong 2", and "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier" have also been released one after another.
Then there is Andy Lau's "The Biography of Inspector Lei Luo of 500 Million", "Twelve Young People on Temple Street", "Ninety-two Condor Heroes", Jet Li's "Huang Feihong Only Men Should Be Self-Improvement".
There are nearly 20 movies starring artists under Haina Company, and there are even more movies involved, Yang Dongxu was really shocked to see that his company has not finished filming, and the sum of all the movies released before the end of this year actually accounts for half of the Hong Kong and Taiwan films.
And this half of the country occupies not only the number of movies, but also the total box office. Excluding those movies that have not yet been released, as of the end of September, the total box office of Haina Company's films is 800 million.
If this ticket box office is placed in the future, it may be the total box office of a movie. But this is 92 years, breaking through 10 million is a classic movie, and reaching 50 million may be the era of the annual box office champion.
The total box office of the entire Hong Kong is about 1.5 billion, and the Haina family accounts for more than half. Even if more than half of this money is distributed to those theaters and theaters, the profit has reached more than 300 million.
This is not counting the income from its artists running commercial performances, holding concerts, participating in other movies, TV series, and releasing records.
Counting these as well, firing the company's daily consumption and everyone's salary, there is no need to wait for the end of the year, the company has made a profit of 400 million. At the end of the year, it is a good time to make money, and there are several movies released, and the company's profit this year is likely to exceed 600 million.
"MD, they all say that making movies in Hong Kong and Taiwan is equivalent to making money, and this thing is indeed similar to grabbing money. No, it's faster than grabbing money. Glancing at the financial statements, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but shake his head with emotion, and then frowned and said, "How about we invest in theaters and theaters?"
Seeing that his company has made so many good movies, the taxes are counted, and he doesn't want to take risks just to save a little tax with his arms and thighs, but the money distributed to the theater chain and the theater really hurts him, which is hundreds of millions.
"Cooperation, or talk about the proportion of sharing is not a big problem, if the company makes its own theaters and cinemas, you have to find a relationship in the mainland, and it is a little difficult for Hong Kong and Taiwan. Luo Wenhua pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Is that so?" Yang Dongxu rubbed his forehead, and then understood what Luo Wenhua meant.
In these years, those who can afford to play theaters and theaters, and still hold nearly half of the income from movies, there must be no one with a simple background. It is good to say in the mainland that Yang Dongxu still has a lot of favors in his hands, and the cake in this market is not big at present, so as long as he is willing to spend money to get in, it is basically no problem.
If you do this in Hong Kong, it's going to be difficult. Don't look at the boom of Haina Company in recent years, which makes many Hong Kong entertainment companies unaccustomed to it, and they are still alive and well.
It's just that he is not used to being looked down upon by many Hong Kong entertainment companies, and the reason why he can't get rid of it is not that he Yang Dongxu is the best. It's that Haina has brought benefits to many people.
For example, in the movie area, although many people are not used to seeing Haina Company making money in Hong Kong. But the theater still schedules Haina Company's films, and it is still a key schedule. Why? It's not because the movies made by Haina can sell well, so that theaters and theaters can make more money.
Therefore, if Yang Dongxu wants to stuff the big cake of cinemas and theaters into his pocket and not share it with others, it will really be boycotted by the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry, and it will be difficult to unite with the sixth uncle at that time.
"Let's talk about it, come up with a suitable distribution ratio. As for the cinemas and cinema......s in the mainland, Yang Dongxu paused here: "Leave it to the hurricane building, let's build a few developed cities first, I'll find someone to run around the formalities, the mainland film market is not yet mature, take your time first, don't worry." By the way, how about the new talent development program?"
"It is in progress, and it is already cultivating the company's own talent scouts, and has opened up relationships with several major drama schools in China. We can always go to the school and pick the right role. ”
"What about the signed artists?" Yang Dongxu nodded and continued to ask.
Andy Lau, Jet Li and Zhou Xingxing have signed, and actresses Lin Jiaxin, Guan Zhilin, Maggie Cheung, Zhang Min, Zhu Yin and the mainland's Xiaohuadan Chen Hong have all signed long-term contracts. Saying this, Luo Wenhua couldn't help but glance at Yang Dongxu.
"Why do you think I'm doing this? Is it only Chen Hong who signed in the mainland?" Yang Dongxu rolled his eyes.
That's why I signed so many female artists, and they are all beauties, is this a feeling? It's not what I want to do. Even a stallion like Fu Decai, who changes women faster than clothes in the entertainment industry, knows that rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest. Could it be that I signed these beauties to prepare for the golden house to hide the Jiao? What kind of eyes, although there is indeed a bit of a loss in my heart......
"Yes, now the famous actors in the mainland are basically made by the state, and there is no big problem with cooperative filming, and there will be some collateral problems if they are signed. Luo Wenhua nodded tactfully.
"That's right. ”
Now there is actually no shortage of good actors in the mainland, such as Uncle Ge, Jiang Wen, Feng Gong and so on. But at present, the slightly famous actors in the mainland are all prepared by the state, either from the art troupe, or assigned to the national film studio or the repertory troupe after graduating from the country.
It's no problem to work together to make a movie, the pay is good, and it can also take advantage of some convenience. If you want to sign it completely, not to mention whether these people are willing to give up the current establishment, the follow-up problems are enough to give you a headache.
For example, if you sign an actor from a national studio, you spend resources to shoot a few dramas. If you agree, the salary will definitely not be calculated according to the current fame, after all, it is the 'mother's family', and you have to give some discounts. If you don't agree, it's more complicated, first of all, an ungrateful hat will definitely be buttoned down.
If the studio leaders are particular, they will definitely be grateful after helping to shoot a few movies or TV series, and by the way, they can bring some convenience to the company.
Shameless, that is, the stars of other companies are not used by others, and all kinds of activities and various parties will desperately greet you over. You finally smashed the cash cow cultivated by resources, as if it was cultivated for him.
"Let's not talk about the rest, let's pick it from the drama academy in the past few years, see if there are any good seedlings to pick out, let's cultivate it ourselves, and sign it before they are assigned. Of course, you can also sign if you meet a good one, after all, there are many people who still have to face this year. ”
"Okay, I'm paying attention, by the way, do you want to fight for the quota for this year's Spring Festival Gala?"
Although it has only arrived in September, there are still many months before the Chinese New Year. But the quota for the Spring Festival Gala has already begun to be fought for. Now the Spring Festival Gala is not as indifferent as in later generations.
This year, it is a matter of minutes to be able to show your face on the Spring Festival Gala and become popular all over the country. Therefore, the quota is not only for leadership screening, but also for you to actively strive for it. Otherwise, so many people want to go to the Spring Festival Gala, why do they have to choose you?
"Fight for Chen Hong, Andy and Jet Li will let them participate if they are free. Chen Hong is really striving for it, after all, although she is now famous, she is still a few grades behind Andy Jet Li. Andy Lau and Jet Li will be invited.
"Is this the only one to get there?"
"It's one thing to fight for, but with Andy and Jet Li, it's three. Any more will be too conspicuous, if it weren't for the fact that Chen Hong has a few dramas to be released next year, I don't even want to fight for her if I want to give her a nomination, and when the time comes, the leaders above will notify whoever will be on the job. Who we want to make popular doesn't necessarily have to rely on the Spring Festival Gala. Yang Dongxu waved his hand.
As the Spring Festival Gala has become more and more popular in recent years, the water has become deeper and deeper, if it is not necessary, Yang Dongxu does not want to participate too much.
"Oh well. ”
"Okay, let's do it first, don't forget to inform me about the things you instructed, I'll leave first if it's okay. Putting down the folder in his hand, Yang Dongxu got up and stood up.
