Chapter 73 Restructuring of the Issuing Company

After the completion of "Modern Bodyguard", it immediately entered the post-production process, in fact, the current DreamWorks does not have the real editing and dubbing qualifications, and there is a lot of trouble in the middle, there are editing equipment, and there are no professional editing talents.

Although Mai Dangxiong and Chen Baixiang have both participated in the editing of "The Tragic War", both of them are two knives, and Wang Zifan is not at ease to hand over the filmed film to them.

Soon after the recruitment flyer was posted, a young editor, Mai Zishan, was willing to join DreamWorks.

In the Hong Kong movies that Wang Zifan has seen, the two names that appear most under the title of "editing" are Zhang Yaobrown and Mai Zishan, and most of them were Zhang Yaobrown a little earlier, and later they were almost all Mai Zishan, in fact, in the 1980s, Wang Zifan looked better at Zhang Yaozhang, but that was a Golden Harvest ace editor, and it was impossible to come to his dream factory.

Mai Zishan's name appears most in Xu Ke's films, his editing has become a kind of signboard, a logo, a mark in Xu Ke's works, his editing is like a peer like flowing water, magnificent, atmosphere and speed are absolutely rare in other films, and then, Mai Zishan has the reputation of "Hong Kong's first scissors".

Regardless of the other party's future achievements, Wang Zifan attaches more importance to his current ability, first said a few requirements, and Mai Zishan can also answer fluently, newcomers are usually easy to accept new ideas, which Wang Zifan is more satisfied, and asked him how many times he edited his works, it turned out that Mai Zishan began to contact editing work in 1977, but because he did not join a large company like Shan Shi and Jiahe, his reputation was not obvious.

Experienced, talented, and potential!

"That's it!"

"Thank you, Mr. Wang!"

At the end of the interview, Mai Zishan became the queen editor of DreamWorks, with a basic salary of 3,000, the salary seems to be very small, but in fact, it is very high in the industry, because the editor's job is very easy, take DreamWorks as an example, the production of movies every year is limited, and the post-production of Hong Kong films is usually very urgent, the editor works at most one week a month, and the rest of the time can be used for studying, or part-time, the company is not limited.

After getting the editor, Wang Zifan made a special trip to Princess Jin to discuss the schedule of "Modern Bodyguard", and by the way, he talked to Lei Juekun about the formation of a joint distribution company.

In fact, Lei Juekun had already put forward the idea half a month ago, and even reached a consensus, just because Wang Zifan insisted on hanging the new company under the name of DreamWorks, and Lei Juekun was not called Lei Feng, he would not help others selflessly, on the contrary, he originally wanted to expand the distribution capacity of the Golden Princess Company.

When I arrived at the Golden Princess Entertainment Company, I met with a few polite words, and the topic naturally talked about the film schedule, and the atmosphere was still relatively harmonious at this time, Lei Juekun couldn't wait to release it as soon as possible, so as to relieve the pressure on the Golden Princess Theater

When it comes to the end, he will give whatever the prince wants, the schedule is set for August 1, and it is expected to be released for 23 days, if the attendance rate is higher than 40% by then, it can continue to be screened for a week, that is, a 30-day schedule.

In the context of rising movie ticket prices, what does the 30-day schedule mean?

It means that "Modern Bodyguard" is likely to become the first film to break through the box office of 20 million since the opening of Hong Kong.

In this regard, Wang Zifan is full of confidence, the strength of the Golden Princess Cinema is not inferior to Golden Harvest, and Lei Juekun's support for him is obviously higher than Zou Wenhuai's support for Xu Guanwen, as long as "Modern Bodyguard" breaks the record again, then his dream factory is also qualified to be an opponent with Golden Harvest!

Lei Juekun is not so optimistic, he only hopes that "Modern Bodyguard" will not hit the streets, and the bad movies will be released for two months in a row, which has almost exhausted his patience.

Wang Zifan said confidently: "Don't worry, Mr. Lei, I won't let you down when the time comes!"

Lei Juekun smiled, as if assuring that he had heard too much, and asked casually, "Does DreamWorks have any production plans recently?"

"Of course!"

"Oh?"

"New Art City Studio is preparing a "Funny Times"!"

"New Art City, it's the three of Mecca, right?" Lei Juekun nodded, in his heart, Mecca, Shi Tian, and Huang Baiming also belong to the type of people who can be trusted, but it's a pity to let Wang Zifan take the lead, otherwise supporting the new art city will not make the DreamWorks family dominant.

Now Lei Juekun is more and more aware of how wrong it was to miss the struggle trio in the first place!

Wang Zifan replied: "I'm afraid that this film will be released on the Christmas schedule!"

"No problem!" Lei Juekun agreed, the current golden princess is the back garden of DreamWorks, not to mention the Christmas file, even the New Year's file, he has to cooperate, thinking of the New Year's file, Lei Juekun took precautions and said: "At present, the hottest schedule in Hong Kong is still the New Year, Afan, what are your plans? This is our best chance to make a name for ourselves!"

Of course, there is a production plan, and it is a killer feature! Wang Zifan did not say it explicitly.

"Best Partner" starring Mecca, under the background that Hong Kong films have just entered the 10 million level, won 26 million box office in one fell swoop, of course such an unnatural film has to be made! This is also the surprise that Wang Zifan and Shi Tian said, the production cost starts at 5 million, shoots in three months, and post-production in one month, just in time for the New Year!

Lei Juekun was puzzled: "Is there any problem?"

Wang Zifan said: "Now the company's issuance is still a problem, and I am worried that I will not be able to recover the cost." ”

Lei Juekun said with a smile, "You have done a good job, you can open up South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and other regional markets in a short period of time, our golden princess ......"

Suddenly, Lei Juekun couldn't stop laughing, and sighed that Wang Zifan was too cunning, and accidentally let him lead the nose.

Wang Zifan continued his words: "Actually, I also think that the merger and issuance channels are good for us!"

Lei Juekun said lightly: "Then how do you want to merge?"

Wang Zifan said sincerely: "Mr. Lei, I will make it clear today, the distribution company is in charge of me, but your Golden Princess Cinema can also distribute films!"

Lei Juekun frowned and said, "What do you mean?

Wang Zifan said: "Everyone does their own thing, don't interfere with each other!"

Lei Juekun was quite surprised at first, thought about it for a while, and secretly scolded Wang Zifan for being treacherous, isn't this a change of soup and not a change of medicine, the biggest profit is still DreamWorks, Wang Zifan eats meat, he can be regarded as a soup at most! Because at present, the highest-grossing films of Princess Jin are all produced by DreamWorks, and he has no distribution rights, so he can't earn a penny, and he has to catch up with Princess Jin's distribution network.

Wang Zifan continued to analyze: "In fact, with the strength of our DreamWorks, it is possible to improve overseas distribution channels at any time, as long as the film is a blockbuster, there will be no cooperation between theaters and businessmen!"

Lei Juekun sighed and said: "Although what you said makes sense, but you can take advantage of the cheapness, what will I explain to the board of directors, Afan, I think it is still like this, I can give you the right to operate the issuing company, but the profits must be divided equally!"

Wang Zifan smiled and said: "Mr. Lei, I'm afraid that you will regret it when the time comes!"

Lei Juekun looked over inexplicably, and thought, this kid won't want to break up in two!

Wang Zifan smiled slightly, and analyzed: "Now that the Golden Princess is declining, it's not strange that you think so, I advise you to think about how many satellite companies Golden Harvest has, and when the Golden Princess rises, I'm really worried that you will regret it!"

Lei Juekun's heart moved, it really made sense, but you would be so kind, and said suspiciously: "You kid won't hold back any strange tricks, right?"

Wang Zifan shouted that he was wronged, he didn't want to cause trouble so he gave up this part of his interests, such as the release of Chen Xunqi's Yongjia Film Company films, Chen Xunqi definitely didn't want DreamWorks to get a piece of the pie, and Wang Zifan himself didn't want to, everyone is a production company, why let you take advantage of me, if you make a profit, DreamWorks will become a public enemy sooner or later, and the theater chain will be different, and if you give Chen Xunqi a guts, you don't dare to turn your face with the theater.

"This matter is so decided!" Wang Zifan made the final decision, and did not forget to give Lei Juekun a reassurance: "In short, you make money from my movies, if any movie makes Mr. Lei lose money, I will compensate twice!"

Lei Juekun couldn't cry or laugh, saying as if he had already controlled DreamWorks, and not being able to eat this piece of fat was the thing he regretted the most! Now that Wang Zifan had seized the right to distribute for nothing, he was even more regretful, and he threw out a difficult question: "You want to issue a company...... That's fine, I promise! But the name of the company should be Golden Princess Entertainment Distribution Company!"

Wang Zifan felt uncomfortable, why did DreamWorks' distribution company call Princess Jin by name, and frowned: "Mr. Lei, the name is not so important!"

Lei Juekun was very happy, and said happily: "You kid just want to take advantage of business, and if you continue like this, you will suffer sooner or later!"

Wang Zifan was entangled for a while, and when he saw Lei Juekun's resolute attitude, he thought that this old man deliberately disgusted himself, anyway, it didn't involve interests, so he agreed, and he would change his name afterwards!

"Okay, let's call it Golden Princess Entertainment Distribution Company!" Wang Zifan pinched his nose and agreed, thinking in his heart that Lei Juekun chose this name to interfere in the internal affairs of the distribution company.

Lei Juekun nodded with satisfaction, as if he remembered something, and reminded: "Your little lover has returned to Hong Kong, pay attention to the influence, don't stab Lou Zi at this critical moment, Jiahe has been staring at you!"

Wang Zifan made a big red face, Zhao Yuzhi was a few years older than him, but in Lei Juekun's eyes, he was indeed very 'small'!

"yes, I see!"

Seeing this, Lei Juekun shook his head secretly, Wang Zifan is also a once-in-a-century genius in the entertainment industry, but he is too affectionate in terms of women, he likes Zhao Yuzhi, a married woman, Chen Yulian, who seduces his friend's girlfriend, and recently he is rumored to be fighting for rice with Cheng Long, and the lace tabloids outside report this, people like him who don't like entertainment news can hear it with cocoons, it can be seen how much Wang Zifan offended Jiahe and the Wei family!
