After eating, Xia and Chen Yixin took the car home.

Originally, Xiang Huasheng wanted to ask the two of them to go to the nightclub to have a good time, but was politely rejected by Summer.

"Brother Tian, do you really want to film for them? Now what I say is good, what if I turn around and don't admit it when the time comes?" Chen Yixin said with some worry.

Summer nodded, he also had such concerns in his heart. However, for the sake of the face of the box office dividends, he still wants to fight.

If you keep your promise to Huasheng, you can make a lot of money, so that you can realize your movie dream as soon as possible. Even if he regrets it, it's a big deal for him not to make money. There will never be a danger to life.

So after weighing the gains and losses, Summer decided to cooperate with them.

"Good wealth is hard to give, righteous faith. One percent of the box office dividends, how much is that? If the box office of the movie exceeds 10 million, I can get 1 million. If you just write books and run magazines, when will you be able to make so much money!" Xia sighed. "So let's fight it, and if I can earn it, I'll make a fortune. Even if you can't earn it, it's a big deal to work hard. Anyway, I'm leaving all the books to my assistant to write now, and I'm doing nothing to do. ”

"That makes sense. Chen Yixin nodded, such an opportunity to make a lot of money, if you miss it, you are really unwilling.

"But Brother Tian, I wonder how they can be so generous? It's too open-minded to go out. Chen Yixin exclaimed.

The director's fee of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars is not enough, and many directors in Hong Kong can get this price. But Yicheng films are rare at the box office, and so far he has only heard of Shaw Brothers having similar rewards for young directors. It seems that Wang Jing, who filmed "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", is a salary of 200,000 yuan plus 10% of the box office of the movie.

As for the directors of the two companies of New Arts City and Golden Harvest, they generally only receive fixed salaries and bonuses, of course, the director fees of other companies start at least 500,000 Hong Kong dollars.

"I don't know, probably because they are afraid that I won't be careless about filming, so they hook me with box office dividends. So. This drama will become my business, if it is not filmed well. Even I don't make much money myself, so I can only film with my heart. And even if this drama is a big hit, I only get 10%, and people get at least 40%, which is still more profitable than us. Xia explained to Chen Yixin.

"I see. Chen Yixin suddenly realized.

……

"Brother Sheng, one percent box office dividend. That's a lot, right? Jiuwenlong also asked Hua Sheng suspiciously, "If the box office of the movie exceeds 20 million, won't he be able to get 2 million Hong Kong dollars in dividends?"

Xiang Huasheng smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's it." ”

"Really?!Inevitably you've made too much money, right?" the nine-striped dragon listened. There is some jealousy.

He has been a big brother for so long, pinning his head to his waist and fighting for life and death, but he has only saved tens of millions of net worth. Now people may earn two million for a play, which is really outrageous.

"Ah Long, there is a brave man under the heavy reward, don't pay a little more money, is he willing to film for us with his heart? Although it is true that he can earn two million, we can earn more. And this is a serious business, the money earned is clean, and the police can't embarrass us. Xiang Huasheng smiled slightly, "Besides, now if you find someone to help you launder money, the handling fee will not only be done." ”

The nine-patterned dragon nodded, knowing that the eldest brother had a point.

In recent years, with the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the atmosphere of the Hong Kong police force has taken on a new look, and the crackdown on them has gradually intensified, making it difficult for them to maintain many businesses. For example, pornography, gambling, drugs, extortion, etc., have been severely suppressed by the police, and many brothers' livelihoods have become problems.

Now it is indeed time to transform, change to some serious business, and gradually whitewash. Otherwise, if you walk at night, you will meet a ghost one day. And in the business, making movies is undoubtedly very profitable.

Now that the Hong Kong film market is in good condition, a film with an investment of several million yuan can be sold for 10 or 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and with the income from being exported to Taiwan, Nanyang, and other places, the profit is more than 100 percent, which is even more profitable than smuggling and poisoning.

Another big benefit of investing in movies is that it is convenient for money laundering. Old Ngee An's illegal income is more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars a year, and how to turn this amount of money into legal income has always been a difficult problem for them.

If it is operated by a Macau casino, a commission of at least 20 million will be charged for 100 million Hong Kong dollars. But investing in movies not only makes money, but also turns these ill-gotten income into legitimate income. This is much more beneficial than other methods of money laundering.

"And now that the Sino-British negotiations have ended, Hong Kong is destined to return in the future. Our old Ngee An tree has long been in the north's sight. If we don't go ashore in time, I'm afraid that after Ninety-Seven, our Xiangjia will be completely finished. So while there is still time, hurry up and change careers, otherwise it will be too late to regret it by then. Xiang Huasheng sighed again.

"It's still Brother Sheng, you have a long-term view. The Nine Pattern Dragon said in heartfelt admiration.

……

After agreeing to cooperate with Xiang Huasheng in the summer, he went back and began to think about which movie to make.

Action movies, he ruled out first. Because of action movies, it is a great test of the action team. Without a decent martial arts team and no action stars, action movies can't achieve too high box office results at all.

Yongsheng Film Company is now putting it bluntly. It's a leather bag company. There is neither a martial arts team nor a decent star, and it is purely death to make action movies.

Comedy films, the second exclusion. In comedy movies, actors are the most important, and there are no decent comedy stars. It won't be able to achieve a high box office at all. But comedy stars are not so easy to invite, and the salary starts at least 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, and people may not be willing to do it.

Goblin movies, the third exclusion. Although a few years ago, "Scary People" and "Ghost Fighting" produced by Hong Jingbao achieved good box office results, but in fact, they are action movies dressed as ghost films.

Pure horror films basically have no future in Hong Kong, even the so-called "most terrifying" "Murder List", the box office is only more than 4 million Hong Kong dollars.

Martial arts movies are naturally more excluded. Shaw Brothers' martial arts films hurt the audience. At least three or five years will not be able to slow down. If you want to achieve a high box office, it is estimated that you will have to wait until after "Smiling Proud Jianghu".

Shootout movies were also ruled out in the end. Because movies with this kind of theme will be very popular in the next few years, I don't want to give this piece of fat to Yongsheng in the summer.

He also plans to invest in filming by himself after saving enough money. When I think of blockbusters such as "The True Color of Heroes", "Bloody Heroes", and "Spicy Detective", I can't help but get excited in the summer.

After excluding the existing types of films, there are still ones in the summer at present. There are only romance films, drama films, and love cesium films left.

In the summer, the love cesium film was excluded. At present, Hong Kong has not yet implemented a film classification system, so film censorship is relatively strict. Too many meat scenes are not allowed, so that the love cesium film is equivalent to abandoning martial arts, and it will inherently lose the bargaining chips to attract the audience.

In the end, he hesitated between romance and drama.

Romance films, as long as you find handsome men and beautiful women, you can start filming. Drama films test the acting skills of actors very much.

"It's time to make a romance movie. Like "Happy Ghost", "The Frog Prince" and the like. If it is filmed quickly, it will be released in time for the Spring Festival, and it will be even better. Summer clapped her hands and laughed.

After deciding on the theme, he immediately thought of a movie, which was "Ghost Horse and Flying Man" starring Zhong Zhentao and Zhong Chuhong. This movie is the same as Happy Ghost. All belong to the theme of campus love, and it should be Wang Jing's follow-up work.

In 84 years, Wang Fatzi invited Zhong Chuhong, Zhong Zhentao, and Chen Baixiang to co-star in "The Frog Prince", and achieved very good box office results. Later, he used some of the materials cut out in "The Frog Prince", and then asked Xia Wenxi and Chen Baixiang to shoot a "I Love Rolando", which once again achieved a box office of more than 9 million. It can be seen how well Wang played the actuary.

In the summer of the same year, Huang Baiming used the knife of "Happy Ghost" to saw a big tree, and invested 1 million Hong Kong dollars in exchange for more than 17 million box office, becoming the most dazzling dark horse of the year.

Wang Fatzi was happy when he saw the hunt, and immediately followed the trend to shoot this "Ghost Horse and Flying Man", not only invited Zhong Chuhong and Zhong Zhentao, the best couple, but also invited Li Lizhen, the starring role of "Happy Ghost", planning to make a quick money with this shareholder wind, and sure enough, it achieved more than 10 million box office.

These gossips and old news were all heard by those Hong Kong and Taiwan staff when they were mixed with the crew in the summer. At that time, he was amazed by Wang Jing's ability, no wonder he is the king of Hong Kong commercial films.

"But instead of cheapening you fat man, it's better to cheapen me first. Summer thought proudly, "In the future, I will help you pick the title of the king of Hong Kong commercial films." ”

"Ghost Horse Flying Man" has a low investment and a large return, which is suitable for the current self, and I believe it can also satisfy Xiang Huasheng.

……

It took three hours to finish writing the script for "Ghost Horse and Flying Man" in the summer.

He had only watched this movie twice before, [mainly to see Zhong Chuhong], so he didn't remember the plot too much. In addition to keeping the main characters, most of the plot needs to be original, which is why it took so long.

But after I finished writing it, I still felt a sense of accomplishment in the summer.

"The hero and heroine will remain the same for the time being. Zhong Chuhong and Zhong Zhentao are now people with box office appeal, so they point to the two of them to pull up the box office. In terms of supporting actors and actresses, Zheng Zeshi doesn't know if he can be invited, but Xia Wenxi should be fine. Li Lizhen doesn't need to be invited, she can be replaced by Wang Qixian, and the fertilizer and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders. The role of Wang Fatzi can also be played by Yixin, so that he can also make a little money. ”

Summer pondered by himself and preliminarily drew up a list of actors, but whether he could really invite these people as he wished, only God knows. (To be continued.) )
