Davide: Put aside what you're doing in the next two days and go to the United States. ”

"Going to the United States?BOSS, I'm getting ready to go to the United States!"

Hearing that the boss asked him to go to the United States to deal with the follow-up of the box office sharing of "1999", Coverdale Davide said with a smile: "During this time, I have made a rough table of the profits from the box office sharing of Hong Kong, Taiwan and Nanyang, and I am preparing to go to the United States to communicate with the people of Fox about the follow-up sharing agreement." ”

If a movie is released in China, the box office share will be available soon, but other regions will depend on the ability of the distributor, don't worry about Taiwan, there is Golden Harvest in Nanyang, they have a lot of distribution fees, and at this time, they are also in a hurry to urge the theater owners in Nanyang to send money over.

Europe and the United States are more troublesome.

Even though Twentieth Century Fox is one of the eight major Hollywood film companies in the United States, and their distribution business is almost all over the world, in the final analysis, they also cooperate with theater owners or distributors in European countries.

If you want to get the final share of the money, it can be as little as one or two months, or as long as half a year.

This is mainly due to the fact that there are too many countries and theaters involved, and it will be difficult to collect funds for a while and a half, even in the era of extremely advanced technology decades later, it still takes a long time for overseas box office revenue to arrive.

However, like this kind of super blockbuster, the world's first movie to break 800 million US dollars, theaters and distributors will sort out the box office as soon as possible and beat it according to the proportion of share.

But even so, if Huo Yaowen wants to see the money he earns, I'm afraid he will have to wait at least until the next year.

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen nodded and said: "That's right, you go to the United States and set up a new film company by the way, you don't need to recruit any personnel, but you must set up the copyright department, if someone from Fox talks to you about things around the movie, you say that I will send someone to deal with it." ”

Huo Yaowen had already talked to the people at Fox before the filming started, and the 40% share of the peripherals can be said to be very high.

"I know the boss. Coverdale Davide nodded.

……

Early the next morning.

The whole Hong Kong citizens were shocked by the news that suddenly got up!

Hong Kong Observer: "The classic "1999 Trilogy" created by the world-renowned science fiction writer Mr. Fok Yiu-man has been made into a movie by Twentieth Century Fox, one of the eight major Hollywood film companies in the United States. As of now, according to the news reported by the New York Times, the global box office is expected to exceed $800 million, which is the world's first film to break $800 million, and it is also the world's first film adaptation to sell well. ”

Wen Wei Po: ""1999", adapted from Mr. Fok Yiuwen's classic science fiction work, has set the fastest film in Hong Kong to break the box office record of one million, the fastest film to break the box office champion record in Hong Kong, and the first film in Hong Kong to break the box office of 10 million!"

"Hong Kong Film Weekly": "According to the latest news, the super movie "1999", which sold tens of millions of dollars in Hong Kong, not only set off a sci-fi frenzy in Asia, but also set off a box office storm in Europe and North America.

As of December 25, "1999" has exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars at the Hong Kong box office, and the global box office is about to exceed 800 million US dollars.

On the other hand, "Ghost Horse Double Star", which was written, directed and acted by the well-known Hong Kong comedian Xu Guanwen, which was released at the same time. Although the final box office was as high as 6 million, breaking the previous box office record of Mr. Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon", in front of this space battleship, it still lost its original style. Maybe Xu Guanwen should be released earlier or later for a while?"

According to the original history, Xu Guanwen's "Ghost Horse Double Star" not only broke the box office of Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon" of 5 million, but also pulled the box office record to 6 million, becoming the box office champion in 1974, which made him an instant hit.

It's just a pity that Xu Guanwen met Huo Yaowen, a butterfly, although relying on the factor of comedy, the box office did not drop too much compared with the original history, but in the face of Hong Kong's first film that broke 10 million box office, it has always lost a lot of color.

can only say that Xu Guanwen's "Ghost Horse Double Star" was a little untimely, or simply said that he fell into blood mold and met Huo Yaowen.

……

With the continuous coverage of the Hong Kong media, people can be seen discussing this topic almost everywhere on the streets.

"Oh my God, $800 million!"

"One movie made 800 million, didn't Huo Yaowen make a lot of money this time?"

"Not necessarily, it seems that it is just sold to an American film company, and at most it will earn some copyright fees, and I am afraid that the box office will not be shared. ”

"No, wouldn't that the $800 million have nothing to do with Huo Yaowen?"

"I don't know, anyway, Huo Yaowen made money. ”

is still discussing the global success of "1999" in the outside world, when Huo Yaowen can make money.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Huo Yaowen drove to Kai Tak Airport to pick up Anna and her family.

Soon after arriving at the airport, the plane landed smoothly, and after waiting at the pick-up gate for a while, Huo Yaowen saw Grandma and Anna walking out of the two carts.

"Xiaohu and Xiaobao are so old! Didn't you say that you won't come back until the child is a year old?"

Huo Yaowen looked at Xiaohu and Xiaobao in the two small carts, the chubby little faces and obviously bigger bodies, and couldn't help but be surprised at how these two children grew up so fast.

The grandma next to her was surprised and said, "Don't children grow up fast? When you were only so old, didn't you also grow so big." ”

Anna said with a smile: "Xiaohu and Xiaobao have grown up a lot recently, I asked the doctor, she said that the children can fly, we just came back." ”

At this time, Xiaobao, who was lying in the small cart, suddenly opened his big sleeping eyes and began to babble.

Grandma saw that Xiaobao was awake, and hurriedly said: "The child is awake, go back quickly, don't stay at the airport." ”

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen carried his suitcase and led a few people to the parking lot outside.

A little more than an hour later, when the car drove to the villa in the middle of the mountain.

Huo's father and Huo's mother were waiting at the door early, and when they saw Grandma and Zhang's mother holding their two children respectively, they immediately went up to see their baby grandson and baby granddaughter.

Huo Yaowen also smiled when he saw that his parents were so rare and had two children, drove the car into the garage, and when he got home, he heard Huo's mother asking Grandma: "Mom, where is Tingting? Why didn't she come back with you?"

Grandma repeated again: "Tingting is still accompanying Wanjun, saying that she will come back in a few days, and it just so happens that Anna's mother will come to Hong Kong after a while, so I will let the three of them go together." ”

While Huo's father and others were chatting, Huo Yaowen accompanied Anna upstairs to wash.

As soon as he entered the bedroom door, Huo Yaowen hugged Anna from behind and said apologetically, "Sorry dear, I have been delayed for so long." ”

Originally, I had told Anna that I would only stay in Japan for half a month and then return to the UK, but who knew that there were too many things in Japan, and it was delayed again and again, and I didn't rush back to Hong Kong until December.

Although there was a telegram sent from Japan to the United Kingdom to explain the situation, a broken promise was a broken promise.

Anna snuggled in his arms, sniffed the breath that belonged to Huo Yaowen, smiled and said: "It's okay, I know you're busy in Japan, you must know that 1999 is not only a big hit in Japan, but also a good box office in the UK." ”

She knows that in the past two months, "1999" has been released worldwide and has been a box office hit, and there are many troubles, so she can understand that Huo Yaowen did not go back to the UK to pick them up and take them back to Hong Kong.

...

Happy New Year's Day 2020, everyone! The most important thing is to get out of singleness as soon as possible, make a fortune, and have great luck!!
