The bright side of the banquet is generally used to celebrate, but in fact, this is a small dating office, everyone knows each other, if there is any cooperation, you can also talk about it first, it is best to succeed, even if it doesn't work, you can also have an intention first, and then talk slowly.

The fame of drunken boxing has brought a lot of profits to Xu Zhi and a lot of popularity to Chen Long, but there is another person who is also the biggest beneficiary, that is, director Yuan Heping, a former martial arts instructor, suddenly turned into a 7 million box office director in Xiangjiang, and many film companies have sent film invitations to ask him to make a movie.

But he refused all of these, although he personally participated in the filming of Drunken Fist, he knows some of the style settings very well, but he understands it, but creation is another matter, he wants to write a movie similar to Drunken Fist, but it is difficult to succeed, even if a complete story is set, it is still within the framework of Drunken Fist, which is also the reason why he refuses to make another movie, he must be prepared to successfully go out.

Yuan Heping walked up to Xu Zhi and asked, "I wonder if Xu Sheng has any plans to make another movie?"

Xu Zhi took a kiss and said, "Yuan Sheng should have received a lot of film appointments recently, how can he still be interested in cooperating with me." ”

Yuan Heping said: "There is a film appointment, but I don't know what to shoot for the time being." ”

Xu Zhi replied: "It shouldn't be in the next few months, if there is a plan, I will definitely inform you first." ”

I don't know how many directors can't wait to take on a few more movies after becoming popular because of a movie, and they will get the money anyway. Yuan Heping's refusal to accept the film appointment also shows that this person really wants to do a good job in this profession.

"Why don't you shoot it? Xu Sheng can't get along with money?" Wang Xuejun happened to be next to him, heard the conversation between the two, walked over, and gave Xu Zhi a drink.

"I'm sorry, but I can't drink yet. Xu Zhi raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "It's just that there are no scripts recently." ”

Wang Xuejun said with a smile: "I almost forgot that Xu Sheng is not yet 18 years old, it's really amazing, I heard that the script of Drunken Boxing was also written by Xu Sheng?"

Yuan Heping said: "Not to mention the script, the entire plot, all the details, Xu Sheng has already written, and I, the director, just shoot it step by step." ”

Wang Xuejun was surprised: "Amazing, I don't know if Xu Sheng is interested in making a movie in Wanwan, and come to the actors of the two places to co-produce it." ”

Xu Zhi smiled: "If you can, no problem." ”

The words at the banquet were all polite grammar, and I felt that I had promised something, but when I looked back, it seemed that I hadn't promised anything.

"I don't know how Wang Sheng received Xiangjiang's films. Xu Zhi inadvertently mentioned it, just finish it with two polite sentences, too much will turn into a sycophant.

Wang Xuejun said with a smile: "Generally, it is a one-time buyout. ”

Xu Zhi asked: "Isn't there a share?"

Wang Xuejun said: "Even if I agree to share, does Xu Sheng dare to accept it?"

Xu Zhi shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't dare." ”

The buyout is a one-time purchase, and after the contract is signed, the money will be given immediately, and whether it is a box office hit or a break of 100 million in the future, it has nothing to do with the investor. Even like Xu Zhi, who is confident in the box office of his movie, he does not dare to accept the share because the recovery time is too long, and you can't prevent the other party from cheating.

Wang Xuejun said with a smile: "The most important thing in doing business is the speed of capital return, even if the return on sharing is high, if you can immediately get a sum of money and invest it in making movies, then you may be able to make more money, and this is the case with the film market in Xiangjiang." ”

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "I don't know what kind of movies are more popular in Wanwan." ”

Wang Xuejun said: "It's hard to say, but kung fu movies are generally more popular, after all, everyone is a fan of Li Xiaolong." ”

Xu Zhidao: "I don't know what Wang Sheng thinks of drunken boxing?"

Wang Xuejun said: "It's funny, compared to traditional martial arts films, it is indeed much more interesting, and Xu Sheng is indeed very capable." ”

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Then I don't know how the buyout price is generally calculated." ”

Wang Xuejun said: "Generally speaking, it is about a quarter of the box office of Xiangjiang, but it also depends on the star lineup and subject matter, and this also includes the copyright of the video tape in the future, which belongs to us." ”

Xu Zhi couldn't help frowning when he heard this, the videotapes of drunken boxing are also extremely profitable in history, with a total sales of more than 20 million US dollars, which is global data, although the economy of the bend is not as good as Xiangjiang at present, but it has a large population, and it is mainly Chinese, and the videotape is also a large amount.

Wang Xuejun said: "Our crooked economy is not as good as Xiangjiang, although there are many people, but the box office of NT$10 million is already a big hit movie, but the exchange rate can be counted, it is only 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars, and the drunken fist is hot in Xiangjiang, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for us to break through the box office of 20 million, although the theater is ours, but in fact, we do not make much money at the box office, the most important thing is the follow-up videotape and some peripheral operations." ”

Hollywood film companies basically rely on the surrounding to make money, especially the Marvel of later generations, the income is even more full, this era of Xiangjiang films in the surrounding development is relatively weak, but the most basic videotapes can still be sold, of course, this is relative to the Golden Harvest Shaw Brothers such a large film company, the surrounding return is slow, but as long as the channel construction is good, the income is stable, a movie can't make anything, but dozens of films a year, a few years later, these revenues add up to a lot of money.

The distribution company is obviously also doing this business, and several of them monopolize the entire Wanwan videotape market, and then introduce movies from Hong Kong and Hollywood on a large scale, accumulating a lot of money, and slowly forming huge profits.

In fact, speaking of which, Xu Zhi doesn't even have a channel for the release, let alone the release of the videotape, thinking about this clearly, Xu Zhi asked directly: "I don't know what price Wang Sheng can offer?"

Wang Xuejun said: "1.5 million, we can pay it immediately, we will bring the film back to Wanwan, and the future has nothing to do with Xu Sheng." ”

Xu Zhi did not agree or refuse, and said, "I want to think about it, and we can talk about it in detail next time." ”

Wang Xuejun nodded and said, "Okay, no problem." ”

After the two finished talking, they immediately separated, Xu Zhi and a few people touched Sprite a few times, and came to Zou Wenhuai's side: "Zou Sheng, I toast you." ”

Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "It's very unfair to drink with Xu Sheng, I can drink wine, but yours is a drink." ”

Xu Zhi smiled: "Then Zou Sheng is casual." ”

In Xiangjiang, you are not allowed to drink alcohol under the age of 18, and the control is actually not strict, if you are at home, no one cares about you, but now after all, in public places, it is a crime to drink with people under the age of 18, although it is not serious, but it will always be trouble.

Zou Wenhuai took a sip, and He Guanchang next to him said: "Xu Sheng, the drunken fist has been painted, it's time to send it overseas for release." ”

Xu Zhidao: "This is no problem, I don't know how Jiahe wants to operate." ”

He Guanchang said: "On the Nanyang side, we will cooperate with Cathay Cinemas, in the whole Nanyang, although Cathay's ranking is not high, but all its cinemas are in Chinese gathering places. As for RB, we will cooperate with RB's fifth largest cinema line, the daily live cinema line, we have cooperated with these two companies for a long time, and they both directly use the share, even if we charge a certain fee, it is much stronger than Xu Sheng himself to directly sell foreign ports. ”

Golden Harvest's strength lies in this point, the Southeast Asian side is fine, and there are also people in Cathay Cinema Line who are stationed in Xiangjiang, and once there is a film that catches the eye, they will buy it directly. The other Shaw Brothers has hundreds of theaters directly in several major countries in Nanyang, and Golden Harvest has repeatedly made record-breaking films in recent years, but the foundation is still not comparable to Shaw Brothers.

In the RB market, it can be said that it is difficult for Xiangjiang's cinema chain to break in, not to mention Xiangjiang, even if Hollywood in later generations covets the RB market, but it can't break through.

Xu Zhi asked: "What about the Korean market?"

He Guanchang frowned and said, "South Korea, the movie model over there is very strange, and we rarely cooperate with them. ”

Since the era of Li Xiaolong, Xiangjiang Films has almost conquered countless countries around the world that are closed to Chinese-language films, and South Korea is one of them, but after Li Xiaolong's death, South Korea began to be closed again, even Zou Wenhuai was difficult to enter, so he could only sell out the movie directly.

Xu Zhidao: "Then when do you want negatives?"

He Guanchang said: "The sooner the better." ”

Xu Zhi said directly: "According to our contract, the 500,000 yuan I borrowed from Jiahe can be directly deducted from my box office share, I don't know when the rest will arrive, our company can't open the pot." ”

He Guanchang smiled, Xu Zhi's meaning is very simple, if you don't give it, then wait for the overseas release!

After glancing at Zou Wenhuai and getting a positive reply, He Guanchang said, "Tomorrow will do." ”

Xu Zhi smiled: "Okay, then I will personally send the negatives to Jiahe tomorrow." ”
