Ten minutes later, Pan Disheng finished watching all the videos, and he still had a bit of unfinished meaning.

At this time, Li Yadong also put down the dishes and chopsticks.

Seeing that he turned his head, he handed over a business card in time.

"Dongfang Hong?" Pan Disheng was surprised, although he was not a serious industry insider, but he was a qualified investor, since he had entered this industry, he had done some homework, but this company was not within the scope of his knowledge.

"We're a new company, and what you've just seen is the trailer for our first film. Li Yadong didn't hide it, because there was no need, with Pan Disheng's energy, he gave an order, and within a day, the information of their company, from the legal person to the sweeping aunt, would probably be put on the table.

Pan Disheng "oh" for a moment, and smiled for no reason, "Mr. Li, from my personal point of view, I admit that this movie is very attractive and makes people interested in continuing to watch the movie, but whether it can be popular or not, I am afraid that this point has yet to be tested by the market, you are so sure that it can reach the level you said, and easily overthrow Xinyicheng and Jiahe? ”

His remarks can be regarded as pointing out the shortcomings of "The Man Who Troubled the Boy is in the Rivers and Lakes", and there are no big-name stars.

Even if Pan Disheng no longer understands the needs of the audience, he also knows the appeal of stars to the box office.

Moreover, his vision is not necessarily accurate, there have been a few movies that he is very optimistic about, and he tried his best to let them be released in theaters, but the reality gave him a blow to the head, making him understand the truth that "art industry has a specialization", and since then, he has rarely participated in the review of films.

Li Yadong replied: "How many theaters does Boss Pan's Debao Cinema Line have?"

"Twenty-two. Pan Disheng didn't know why.

"Oh?" Li Yadong was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that Debao's stall was still quite large, and as far as he knew, Jiahe Cinema didn't seem to have so many.

Of course, there is another reason why Golden Harvest is strong, its power in other cities is very strong, especially the Cathay Cinema Line on the treasure island, which almost wears the same pants as it.

The owner of Cathay Cinemas is the son of the richest man in Singapore, and the reason why Golden Harvest was able to compete with Shaw Brothers, which has hundreds of theaters in Southeast Asia, is indispensable.

Xinyicheng is not bad, and it also has a branch in Baodao.

As for Debao, if Li Yadong's guess is right, its main forces are still concentrated in this port, after all, it has only been established for two years, and it will take time to develop.

In addition, the gap between the number of theaters is actually completely negligible, and the key lies in the scale and location of the theaters.

A 500-seat theater is also a theater, and a 1,000-seat theater is also one.

The cinemas in Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay are naturally different from those in Yuen Long and the New Territories.

"Boss Pan, I want to make a bet with you. Li Yadong said with Erlang's legs crossed.

Pan Disheng, on the other hand, sat upright, rested his elbows on the chair rest, folded his hands, exposed the Patek Philippe watch on his left wrist, and replied with a light smile, "I would like to hear about it." ”

"I need 22 theaters in Debao to co-screen my film, and the gambling period is a week, if the box office of my "Crazy Boy in the Rivers and Lakes" does not reach 6 million, then ......"

Li Yadong paused when he said this, a fierce color appeared in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't want any box office!"

"Oh?" Pan Disheng was surprised, carefully looking at the expression of the young man opposite, trying to find a clue from his face, where did he get such a deep confidence.

Unfortunately, he was disappointed.

"Six million, a week?"

Pan Disheng silently calculated an account in his heart, as we all know, the screening period of a movie is about 1-20 days.

The kind of film that can't get back the cost of the theater for one day will never survive the next day, business is business, and no one will do a loss-making business.

And even if it is a popular film, half a month after its release, the popularity will gradually subside, and most viewers who want to watch the movie have basically seen it, and 20 days can be described as a threshold.

Of course, there are no exceptions, and some films are of such hard quality that they are not at all enjoyable for the audience to watch them once, and can drive them to walk into the theater again, for the third time, or even more times.

Such a film may be able to survive until a month before it is painted.

For example, last year's box office champion "True Colors of Heroes", otherwise how do you think its box office of 34 million came from?

is 6 million more than the second-ranked "Rich Train", such a huge gap is rare, and the top few in the usual box office list are actually very tight.

20 days, about three weeks, if a movie can win 6 million at the box office in the first week, then by the time the painting is finished, the total box office should not be less than 15 million.

You must know that Debao's box office No. 1 "Thunderbolt Trumpet" last year was only 16 million box office.

Pan Disheng really can't imagine why the young man in front of him is so confident, "Thunderbolt Trumpet" at least has Hong Jingbao, Zhang Xueyou, and Wang Zuxian starring, and this "The Man of the Troubled Boy in the Rivers and Lakes" is full of cucumber eggs.

"Are you sure?" he asked with a light smile, this gamble seemed to him to have a good chance of winning.

He admitted that the other party's drama, just looking at the first paragraph, feels pretty good, but the so-called good here is just relatively speaking, a small-cost production like this, but if it can sell seven or eight million box office, it will be a big hit.

"Sure. Li Yadong replied without thinking.

As the saying goes, I can't bear the child and can't catch the wolf, the risk, there is always it, different eras, different moviegoers, different production companies, many factors can pose risks, but he is not afraid, he looks at the realm of a person who has read all the A-movies with and without a code, and the probability of "Crazy Boy" being broken is very low.

Pan Disheng asked with interest, "So...... Tell me about the bet I'm going to make. ”

"It's very simple...... Li Yadong stretched out a finger and said: "Just one point, if the box office reaches the target, I ask for a fifty-fifty share, and at the same time, the Hong Kong government's taxes will be paid by you." ”

"It's really simple...... Pan Disheng touched his nose angrily, "It's just your fifty-fifty split, if the box office can really reach such a level, you can indeed use this drama to join the ranks of well-known film and television companies, I admit this." But we still have to pay the taxes, even Hong Jingbao doesn't have this treatment. ”

"Hong Jingbao?" Li Yadong said indifferently: "With all due respect, Boss Pan, you Debao can do without him, but you can't do without me." ”

The implication is obvious: I am stronger than Hong Jingbao!

Pan Disheng's nose was almost crooked, you must know that when he first founded Debao, the film and television company was acquired from Hong Jingbao, and the two had a great friendship, Hong Jingbao is the most well-known director and actor in the current Debao department, and every drama will be a big hit.

Moreover, this person is also a bigwig-level existence in the Hong Kong film and television industry, Pan Disheng still remembers that when filming "Rich Train" last year, Hong Jingbao intended to let all the stars come to "bless" it, and a few phone calls went out, which shocked half of the entertainment circle in Hong Kong.

You, a fledgling guy, where did you get your confidence to compare with others?

"What, Boss Pan doesn't believe it?"

Li Yadong saw that his face was wrong, and without waiting for him to speak, he asked lightly, "Boss Pan, how many dramas can Hong Jingbao shoot for Debao in a year?"

Pan Disheng replied expressionlessly, "One or two." ”

"That's fine. Li Yadong shrugged his shoulders and said: "His efficiency is too low, and as far as I know, this person is not only supplying films to Debao, but also supplying films to other theaters, to be honest, it is not under your control at all, Boss Pan." ”
