Chapter 064 - Easy to Publish?
As soon as Odell's release offer came out, there was a sudden silence in the test room.
On the one hand, he immediately got 50,000, and on the other hand, he immediately took out 50,000, which was so large that Yang Qiu and Zha Liangjian didn't know how to choose, so they had to look at Bu Wancang who was deep in thought.
“……”
It can be seen that Bu Wancang is also very hesitant, his chest rises and falls, his right hand keeps tapping the armrest of the seat, and the whole person falls into a kind of silence.
"Whew-"
After a long time, but seeing Bu Wancang, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My play is more than 50,000." ”
"Huh? Odell tilted his head and asked softly, "What do you mean?"
"Divide it. ”
"Bu Dao!"
Zha Liangjian, who was sitting on Bu Wancang's right, suddenly became anxious and let out a low sigh.
He is in charge of internal affairs, how can he not know the financial situation of Taishan now, although there is a stupid eldest sister investor, but the stupid eldest sister's family does not open a banknote printing factory.
Liu Lianghua is not surnamed Li ......
Taishan's funds, after opening a company, making movies, and paying the contract fee, there is not much left.
is still preparing to open an actor training class, and everyone has already begun to recruit, how can you get 50,000?
Bu Wancang obviously also knew the situation of Mount Tai, hesitated for a second, then waved his hand to suppress what Zha Liangjian wanted to say, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, people will never be killed by things, go back and think of a way, there will always be a way out." ”
“……”
Odell looked at the expressions and words of several people, but he saw a little clue, thought for a few times, and said: "Director Bu, I see that you are in financial difficulties, otherwise it will be like this......
Seeing that Ou Deer had something to say, Bu Wancang and the others hurriedly looked at him.
"It's the first time we've cooperated with Cathay and Bu Dao, and it's the first time, so we have to show some sincerity. Odell shook his head and said slowly: "Since Bu Dao is in difficulty with funds now, in this way, we Cathay Pacific will help you pay the issuance fee first." ”
“……”
Bu Wancang and the others looked at each other, never expecting such a good thing.
"When the movie is finished, we will deduct the distribution fee from the share. Odell was still talking to himself, looking at the three of them, "What do you think of this proposal?"
"This ......" Bu Wancang paused and said gratefully: "Then thank you very much, thank you very much!"
"Hahaha, it's easy to say, thank you can't talk about it, let's benefit each other. Odell stood up with his cigar in his hand and laughed: "Director Nabu, let's go and sign the contract first, and after signing it, I will ship the movie back and play it, and give you the money back as soon as possible." ”
"Okay, okay, let's go. ”
After the signing ceremony of the contract between the guests and the hosts, Bu Wancang and the three of them walked out happily, although they only took the first step in the issuance of foreign cities, but it was also a good sign.
As a result, as soon as I returned to the company, I didn't expect to get another piece of good news.
Wang Daomin took Li Xing, the director of Daguan Studio, and was waiting for them in the company.
To say that Wang Daomin, an old fritter who is familiar with the film and television industry, is still very powerful, the Legong Theater and the Oriental Theater are all talked about by him, although they are not as good as the stage and entertainment theaters, but they are also top in Xiangjiang.
Daguan Studios belongs to Daguan Pictures, a company that used to make Cantonese films in the United States.
Later, the company moved to Hong Kong, where it made a lot of good works in the thirties and forties, and became the leading company in Cantonese films that year.
However, it is precisely because of the leadership that when Xiangjiang fell, the company was also destroyed more completely by the Neon Army and suffered heavy losses.
In the past few years, Daguan Studios have been rented, and the company has rarely produced its own works, but has helped many companies to start the business of agency distribution.
After all, Grand View started in the United States, and there is also a small distribution network in Europe and North and South America.
Of course, not only in these places, but also in the South Seas such as the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, there is also a Daguan distribution network.
This is a lot longer than the Cathay Pacific organization that is still circling in the Xingma region.
So after a few people talked about it, the distribution of "Women and Tigers" in North and South America, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and other places was directly handed over to Li Xing, the director of Daguan.
However, in these places, it is estimated that the benefits are very small, and it is better than nothing.
As for Bay Island, it is still in chaos, and the film was directly handed over to a Chinese factory with an official background for distribution.
This institution, which is subordinate to the 'Ministry of Culture', is now easier to talk to than the ruffians in other departments.
At the end of May 1950, Yang Qiucha Liangjian bid farewell to Wang Daomin at the Xiangjiang Wharf.
Wang Daomin took a bill of exchange of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, plus three copies of "Women and Tigers", went to the magic capital of the mainland, and personally went to take charge of the distribution of the film in the mainland.
Now, the company really has very little money left, excluding daily expenses.
Everyone also pinned their hopes for the company's continuation on the return of the movie.
Taishan's actor training class was not as grand as Yonghua's, and it was only advertised in a tabloid in Xiangjiang, and the exam began quietly.
In addition to Bu Wancang, the examiner also has Wang Yuanlong, who was pulled over.
Finally, after some consideration, in addition to Liu Lianghua, a relational household, there is also Yang Meng, a candidate who is optimistic about the director first, and two men and three women are recruited.
Especially among these two men, there is also an acquaintance of Yang Qiu, his colleague in the repertory troupe - Fan Dan.
As for the other man, he is a Modu man named Liu Lixing, and the three women are named Rong Yuanqing, Liu Yun, and Li Wei, and their appearance and figure are all above average.
This selection is much more reliable than Yonghua's recruitment at the beginning.
As soon as the participants arrived, the classes began on the third floor.
The head teacher is Wang Yuanlong, but like Gu Zhongyi, he is also a person who basically doesn't care about things. Then I found a vocal teacher to teach vocal music, and as for performance and Chinese teaching, Yang Qiu taught on my behalf.
In this way, Yang Qiu, who was originally half a bucket of water, slapped his swollen face and filled the teacher.
After teaching for a few days, Yang Qiu found that among these people, the most spiritual performer was the tallest and most beautiful Yang Meng, the second was the eldest aunt Liu Lianghua, and Fan Dan was ranked third after Li Wei.
Sure enough, the showbiz at this time is really in full swing.
After a few days of class, looking forward to the stars and the moon, the Xiangjiang box office of "The Woman and the Tiger" finally came out, with a total income of 78,000.
In this era, it is already good to be able to get this box office in Xiangjiang.
Zhou Song, who was stimulated by Taishan's tight finances, called the theater every day to collect money since the movie was released in the first round of Xiangjiang and learned about the box office.
The theater party was also annoyed by it, and the money was sent over within a few days.
Not much, only 30,000.
In addition to the bottom fee, advertising fee, tea fee and labor cost of your own home, in fact, it is about 15,000 yuan. It's not much more than the full profit of a Cantonese fragment, but the cost of the movie is back one-eighth.
This gave Yang Qiu and them a little more hope.
It's just that this hope didn't take two days, but there was bad news - Wang Daomin lost contact!
