Even though the film has already been released, there is still a lot of publicity, various flyers are still being distributed, advertisements on TV stations are continuing, and the company's newspaper, Golden Harvest Daily, has been running advertisements for drunken fists since early July.

Soon, another kind of advertising hit the stage: word of mouth.

With the continuous heating up of word of mouth, more and more people came to major theaters to ask about the number of movie shows, and Golden Harvest Cinema also reacted immediately, not only did all 19 theaters open drunken boxing, but the daily time period also increased from 2 to 5, and then the single-day box office of drunken boxing broke the record.

A few days ago, Xu Zhi visited several cinemas in Golden Harvest, almost every cinema was full, until Golden Harvest opened more playing time and more theaters, the scene had an environment, and the attendance rate slowly dropped from 80% for several days to 70 60 50......

Lin Siqi happily put a form in front of Xu Zhi and said, "Boss, the box office of Drunken Boxing has come out, 7.1 million Hong Kong dollars." ”

Xu Zhi looked at the report, it was even better than the historical data, this is the daily box office revenue data provided by Golden Harvest, but I don't know if there is any fraud.

This is the strength of the monopoly theater chain, if you want to check his data, it is estimated that you have to go to court, even if it is really successful, then you will be prepared not to mix in this line of work in the future, otherwise it is better to pretend not to know honestly, after all, it is impossible for Jiahe to pit your family, if you want to pit it together, and there will be a bottom line, even if it is fake, it is impossible to be too ruthless.

Life is like this, even if you know that you have suffered a loss, you can only acquiesce, because society is like this, only this kind of unfairness can stimulate a person's growth, and only hard work can lead to success.

Success is not about pursuing fairness, but about one day, being able to put this unfairness on others.

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "According to the sharing agreement with Golden Harvest, how much can we get?"

Lin Siqi said: "If we deduct taxes, we can get almost 35%, but we have to deduct 10% of the entertainment tax first, and it should be about 2.2 million Hong Kong dollars if it can almost reach us, of course, these money must be called corporate income tax, but that will be next year, but we still have to be prepared to avoid taxes." ”

Xiangjiang Company pays taxes once a year, and there is only one kind of tax, that is, profit tax, and the fixed amount is 15%, that is, no matter what the sales of a company is, as long as it is 15% of the profit, it is simple and clear, and the average small company does not even need to ask for an accountant.

Evergreen is registered in Bermuda, where taxes are lower, often only 1.5%, and if a large company goes there there is still some room for negotiation, this is simply the place that all international companies aspire to.

But basically, all over the world abides by the rules of tax payment at the place of sale, and where the company's products are ultimately sold, then you have to pay taxes locally, so to a certain extent, it is not that you do not have to pay taxes if you register overseas.

Changxing's movie was released in Xiangjiang, so it is normal to pay taxes to Xiangjiang, but because it is reported in the first half of each year, Xu Zhi is not in a hurry.

After thinking for a while, he said: "You contact the people of Golden Harvest, I still owe 500,000 to their company, so I will deduct it with the box office share first." ”

Lin Siqi nodded and said, "Okay, but the theater chain has been urged a few times recently, should we give them an answer." ”

A few days after the release of Drunken Boxing, the box office and word-of-mouth have been applauding, which has also attracted the attention of the Crooked Cinema Company, their group of people mainly rely on the introduction of Xiangjiang movies to make money in the past, and the slightest turmoil in the Xiangjiang film industry can't hide from them, and of course they can't ignore the rise of Drunken Boxing.

Through the internal news of Golden Harvest, they also contacted Lin Siqi, of course Lin Siqi couldn't call the shots, so they told Xu Zhi, but Xu Zhi was not in a hurry at all, just kept saying: "I'll talk about it when the box office comes out." ”

Xu Zhi thought for a while and said, "Okay, you contact everyone, including Jiahe, Wanwan Cinema, Chen Long, Yuan Heping and other crew members, we will have a celebration meeting together." ”

Lin Siqi heard that there was a party and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

"Wait. Xu Zhi said again: "It's best not to notify the media, arrange a hotel that can refuse reporters, I don't want to bother these people." ”

Lin Siqi asked: "If you don't notify reporters and the media, you can't promote our film company?"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "No, celebrities need publicity, I don't need to, besides, you say that we are a film company, but apart from you and me, how can there be any other!"

Lin Siqi said: "It's because there is no now, so we need to open up our fame! Attract more people to join, even if the first-tier and second-tier stars don't join, it's okay to sign some potential newcomers!"

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Do you know why my company's name is Changxing Culture instead of Changxing Pictures?"

Lin Siqi was not stupid, and immediately said: "Boss, do you mean that we are not actually a film company?"

Xu Zhidao: "No, but if a movie wants to succeed, it needs too many factors, and it is a lot of luck that the drunken boxing can succeed this time, and the most important thing is that Golden Harvest underestimated me as a newcomer, so that I can succeed at one time, and I am afraid that it will not be so easy to cooperate in the future." ”

Lin Siqi asked, "Will Jiahe target us in the future?"

Xu Zhidao: "Yes, if it were me, I would, Run Run Shaw's negligence led to the rise of Golden Harvest, Zou Wenhuai is a smart person, he will not allow the second him to appear." ”

"But is it good that Xu Guanwen and others don't cooperate with Golden Harvest?" Lin Siqi has also investigated a lot of information about Xiangjiang movies during this time, so many characters and relationships are very familiar.

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "It's different, Xu Guanwen and others all relied on Golden Harvest to rise, and they controlled the distribution and the surrounding Golden Harvest very tightly, unless I signed such a contract like them, otherwise, if we want to make another movie in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even release it." ”

Lin Siqi nodded, and asked again: "Didn't you say before that you can't make enough money, can you work with others?"

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "This sentence is good, but cooperation is also divided into primary and secondary relationships, Zou Wenhuai controls the cinema chain and channels, even the so-called micro cooperative investment, it is just a part-time job for him, the former Li Xiaolong is a little better, because during that time Jiahe was not so strong."

But since Xu Guanwen, cooperating with Golden Harvest is his own family, Xu Guanwen has made several consecutive box office films of more than 3 million, but I estimate that in the whole process, Golden Harvest has earned at least 8% of its profits. ”

Lin Siqi said: "Then there is no way?"

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "In the whole Xiangjiang, the two largest cinema chains are Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, among which Shaw Brothers is even more domineering than Golden Harvest, they make their own movies, release them themselves, and do not accept outsiders, if you go to Shaw Brothers, whether it is a star or a director, they will get a fixed salary."

And Jiahe is a little better, although he also took a lot of profits, but at least he can still leave a mouthful of soup and a few bones, and maybe occasionally a few pieces of fat floating around. ”

Lin Siqi said: "This group of monopolies is really hateful, it's too unfair. ”

Xu Zhi shook his hand and said with a smile: "No, this is very fair, people control the theater chain and channels, can they still share the profits with you?" ”

Lin Siqi was stunned after hearing this, this was completely different from her worldview, and paused for a while: "What should the weak do?"

Xu Zhi thought for a while and smiled: "Work hard to become stronger, and then go and bully other weak people." ”

Lin Siqi couldn't keep up, and asked again: "Then what should we do now?"

Xu Zhi thought for a while and said: "Let's look at the situation first, until the last resort, don't fall out with Jiahe, it's not good, now we are weaker than people, we have to have this awareness, blindly seeking fairness is just idiotic behavior, I will negotiate with Jiahe again, you go and do your business first!"

"Okay. Lin Siqi went out after speaking.
