"Lei Sheng, I don't want to buy out the cost because I lack money, how much money I have now Lei Sheng should know in his heart, I dare not say ten million, eight or nine million is still there. A movie like "Nightclub" costs less than a million, I can shoot nine, and if I insert some ads, it is not a problem to shoot a dozen. Ye Jianren said.

"Ye Sheng, can you be sure that the movies you make in the future will definitely be a big hit?" asked Lei Juekun.

"If I say that every movie can be a big hit, it must be a lie, but I can at least guarantee that I won't lose money, otherwise why would Lei Sheng cooperate with me?" Ye Jianren asked with a smile.

Lei Juekun lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "Since that's the case, then I'll take 51%." ”

"Lei Sheng, let me say it again, I'm not short of money, if you really want to cooperate, I can only give you 30% at most. Ye Jianren said with a cold face.

"At least 51%!" Lei Juekun said categorically, "I must have absolute control." ”

"Lei Sheng, aren't you afraid of pushing me to Jiahe's side if your requirements are so harsh?" Ye Jianren was curious about Lei Juekun's tough attitude.

"Do you think that Jiahe's conditions will be better than mine?" Lei Juekun said sarcastically, "Why do you want Jiahe to lean his resources towards Cheng Long instead of Hong Jingbao? It's not because Hong Jingbao didn't sign a contract with him. Even if you go to Golden Harvest, you can't get a good schedule, and you have to compete with other satellite companies, so it's better to stay in the Golden Princess. Also, don't forget, Deng Guangrong is also from Golden Harvest. ”

Ye Jianren rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, although Lei Juekun's words were exaggerated, most of them were more in line with the actual situation. Even if he defects to Golden Harvest, if Golden Harvest can't control it absolutely, he won't give him a good schedule, and he may even use his movies and other theaters to fight and redeem the box office.

"Lei Sheng, the stakes are very high, and it is difficult to make a decision for a while, can you let me think about it for a few days. Ye Jianren decided to delay for a while and look for other opportunities.

"Okay, I hope Ye Sheng can think about it as soon as possible. Lei Juekun didn't press too hard.

"So can we move on to the issue of film distribution now? Ye Jianren hurriedly diverted the topic.

Before Lei Juekun could speak, Li Maowen preemptively said: "Ye Sheng, of course there is no problem if you want to buy it out directly, but the cost is too high." A large part of the reason why the box office of the movie "Nightclub" is so high in Xiangjiang is that the publicity is good, but in Taiwan and Southeast Asia, without such good publicity, I am afraid the box office will not be so high. ”

"Xiangjiang movie box office champion, this is the best publicity!" Ye Jianren was angry because Lei Juekun wanted to buy shares, and his words became sharper, "If this kind of publicity is not done well, then it can only be that there is a problem with the publicity and distribution of the Golden Princess, and I can't use my interests to pay for your incompetence!"

"Five million, it's decided!" Before Li Maowen could speak again, Lei Juekun made a decision directly.

"It's still Lei Sheng's refreshment. Ye Jianren pursed his lips secretly, thinking to himself what is this, a slap and a sweet date? This method is too clumsy.

"Ye Sheng, the money will arrive tomorrow, and I hope you can think more about the cooperation. Lei Juekun said.

"Definitely. Ye Jianren agreed again and again, "I will definitely give Lei Sheng an answer as soon as possible." ”

After Lei Juekun spoke, he got up and left directly, but when he walked to the door, he met a person walking in, the two people stood opposite each other, and after a moment of stiffness, Lei Juekun said with a smile on his face: "It turned out to be He Sheng, what a rare guest, please come in." ”

"Lei Sheng's style is like the master. He Guanzhuan watched Lei Juekun put on a victorious posture and was very unhappy, and mocked lukewarmly, and provoked it by the way.

"Lei Sheng and He Sheng won't pinch together, right?" Lin Zhengying, who had been eating and drinking with his head down, said worriedly when he saw this scene.

"Don't worry, these two are big shots, and there are so many reporters present, it's impossible to pinch them. Hong Jingbao said firmly.

"The movie "Nightclub" was released at the Golden Princess, and it is all supported by Lei Sheng to have such a high box office, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Lei Sheng is half the master. Ye Jianren stepped forward to relieve Lei Juekun, "He Sheng, please come inside." ”

He Guanchan came today to get in touch with Ye Jianren, to get close, of course, to give him a face, so he stopped facing Lei Juekun and followed Ye Jianren inside.

Lei Juekun saw that Ye Jianren and He Guanzhuan were together, and he had a bad premonition in his heart, and he stopped when he was about to leave, and walked to Hong Jingbao, who was watching the excitement on the side.

"Ye Sheng, congratulations, the first movie broke the box office record of Xiangjiang. After He Guanzhuan finished congratulating, he gave Lei Juekun a look, "But if it is released in Golden Harvest, maybe the box office will be higher." ”

"Maybe. Ye Jianren agreed.

"Ye Sheng, you also know the distribution ability of Golden Harvest, in Xiangjiang to recognize the second, absolutely no one dares to recognize the first. He Guanchuan boasted.

The corners of Ye Jianren's mouth twitched, there are a total of three distribution companies in Xiangjiang, Shaw Brothers produces and sells itself, and you and Jardine are the two imperial cities PK, the first is the third from the bottom, what is there to be proud of.

"Ye Sheng, if you hand over the overseas distribution of the movie "Nightclub" to us Golden Harvest, we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. He Guanchuan said.

"It's really unfortunate, He Sheng, you came one step late, I just sold the distribution rights in Taiwan and Southeast Asia to Lei Sheng. Ye Jianren said.

"Lei Sheng, Princess Jin?" He Guanchuan exclaimed.

Ye Jianren nodded, "That's right, Lei Sheng told me that Princess Jin is going to set up a satellite company to involve the distribution business." ”

Because the discussion with Lei Juekun was not very pleasant, Ye Jianren didn't mind causing him some trouble, after all, only the muddier the water, the greater his chance.

He Guanzhuan was secretly shocked in his heart, Lei Juekun's financial resources are not comparable to their Jiahe, the reason why they have been tepid before is because of the lack of film sources, and now if they really start to form a satellite company and can obtain a stable film source, it will be a big threat to them Jiahe, and it seems that they have to take precautions as soon as possible.

Even if there is no other harvest today, this news alone is worth the trip.

"Since Ye Sheng sold the distribution rights to Lei Sheng, let's cooperate again next time. He Guanchuan selectively skipped this topic and continued to talk about it.

"No next time, this time we have a chance to work together. Ye Jianren said, "Although the distribution rights of "Nightclub" in Taiwan and Southeast Asia were given to Lei Sheng, the distribution rights of RB are still in my hands, and I don't know if Golden Harvest is interested." ”

In terms of the ability of overseas distribution, it is difficult to say who is strong and who is weak between Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest at this time, but just in terms of RB's distribution ability, Golden Harvest has to throw off the ten streets of Shaw Brothers.

Because RB is a relatively closed-minded country, it does not accept foreign films, and RB distribution costs are relatively high, so few foreign films can be distributed nationwide on a large scale in RB.

Golden Harvest also hit a wall everywhere in the early days of developing the RB market, fortunately got the former president of the China Film Corporation (I won't introduce what kind of company it is, I am interested in Baidu), the president of Toho Film Company, and the help of Kawakita Nagamasa, who has a very high status in the RB film industry, with Bruce Lee's "Jingwumen" to open the door to the RB film market and won 1.732 billion yen at the box office. And the subsequent posthumous work "Enter the Dragon" is even more remarkable, winning a total box office of up to 3 billion yuan, which is the third highest-grossing film in RB's history, second only to "The Godfather" and "RB Sinks".

After Bruce Lee's death, the RB market was briefly closed to Golden Harvest and reopened after the arrival of Xu Guanwen. His self-directed and self-starred films such as "Ghost Horse Double Star", "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", and "Deed of Sale" were all box office hits, and the box office of "Deed of Sale" in RB was as high as 5 million US dollars, and Xu Guanwen was also called "Mr. Bu" by RB audiences, and even Cantonese records with Xu Guanjie surged in RB sales.

In the 80s, with Cheng Long, Golden Harvest made a lot of gains in the RB market, and in the next ten years, it almost made a profit of nearly one billion Hong Kong dollars, while at the same time, Golden Harvest's income in the local market was only seven or eight billion. In stark contrast, the unbeatable New Arts City in Xiangjiang has not been able to open the RB film market until its disintegration, with overseas revenue of less than 200 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Since Ye Sheng believes in Jiahe so much, how can I refuse. He Guanchuan agreed.

They are currently working on the release of Cheng Long's "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" on RB, and it doesn't matter if there is one more "Nightclub", anyway, one sheep is also released, and two sheep are also driven.

"Then please He Sheng, I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. Ye Jianren said.

"I hope so too. ”

After chatting for a while, He Guanchong said goodbye and left. After He Guanzhi left, Ye Jianren swept around the banquet hall and found that Lei Juekun didn't know when he had left, and Hong Jingbao, who had talked to him, had a red face, and he didn't know what good news he had gotten.

"Brother Sanmao, what's so happy?" Ye Jianren walked up and knocked on the side.

"Lei Sheng just said that he would support me to set up a film company and invest in the filming of "Five Lucky Stars", which is ready to be released in the summer vacation. ”

Hong Jingbao didn't hide it in the slightest, and he couldn't hide this kind of thing, so it was better to say it directly, but it seemed to be bright and bright.

Ye Jianren's face darkened suddenly, and what he said casually for the sake of hype turned out to be a prophecy.

Lei Juekun, you are really ruthless, you just finished talking to me, and before you left, you directly recruited Hong Jingbao to set up a satellite company at my celebration banquet. Since you're the first year of junior high school, don't blame me for being the fifteenth!
