Chapter 47: Five Million Box Office Share
(Thank you for your support, thank you!continue to ask for votes!) The company was established, Hong Jinbao established a crew, and began to prepare for the filming of "Miscellaneous Boys", Wu Cheng was busy with the company's affairs, while digging people, and writing scripts and novels at night, it can be said that he was so busy that even Zhao Yazhi was a little distressed when he saw it.
In half a month, he first contacted Wu Yusen, and got the news that the family agreed to make a film for Golden Harvest, Wu Cheng sincerely invited him to come to Donglong, but Wu Yusen said that he would not consider it for the time being.
In this regard, Wu Cheng has nothing to say, after all, now Jiahe is countless times stronger than Donglong, and Donglong still has to rely on Jiahe to survive!
Jump ship to Donglong, get sick!
Yes, Ye Cheng had no choice but to give up, and then found Chen Shufen again.
Although Chen Shufen was a little moved by Wu Cheng's proposal, she also said that she should consider it carefully, after all, Xiangjiang is too small, and most of the film and television stars are in the hands of those big companies, even if a brokerage company is established, the role will not be too big, and whether it can succeed or not is still two different things.
For this reason, Wu Cheng had nothing to say, so he could only continue to wait.
At the beginning of March, "Five Lucky Stars", which had been released for four weeks, was finally painted, and the one-month screening period made the box office of this film directly exceed 10 million, rushing to more than 12 million.
In fact, the box office in the first two weeks has exceeded 8 million, and the box office in the third and fourth weeks has plummeted, resulting in only 4 million.
Of course, on the one hand, it is also the reason why Golden Harvest has contracted its cinema line.
This figure shocked the attention of the vast majority of people in Xiangjiang, and they couldn't imagine that Xiangjiang's small projectile land could burst out with such a huge box office power.
Many people are analyzing, why does 'Five Lucky Stars' have such a high box office?
And how big can Xiangjiang's box office potential be?
Similarly, many people are secretly happy that Xiangjiang's film industry has begun to enter a prosperous period.
The success of the 'Five Lucky Stars' is naturally a lot of happy people, and the people of Donglong International are naturally the happiest people.
In addition to Donglong International, the second happiest person is the theater chain.
Jiahe's Zou Wenhuai is happy and angry, happy that the box office of 'Five Lucky Stars' makes him feel more and more confident, and angry that he was stupid to sign a periodic screening contract with Wu Cheng.
Now, he can only hope that the overseas box office can shine.
And these days, those filmmakers who have entered the sea have already broken the threshold of Golden Harvest Company, and it is not surprising that the overseas fire of the 'Five Lucky Stars' is also expected.
At the beginning, Wu Cheng asked for 9 million overseas copyright fees, but now it seems that it is really not that expensive, and he also gave away a good script for free - "Half a Pound and Eight Taels".
The third happiest person is the 'Phoenix' clothing company.
At the beginning of its existence, the clothing company became an instant hit with the 'Red Girl' clothing, and then created another brand - ace menswear.
Ace men's clothing naturally focuses on men's clothing, and previously sponsored a sponsorship fee for "Five Lucky Stars", and through the publicity of "Five Lucky Stars", the performance of Phoenix Clothing this year has soared by several grades.
This is still at the beginning of the year, and orders have flown over like snowflakes, so you can imagine how prosperous the performance of Phoenix clothing company will be this year.
When the Zhong family mentioned Wu Cheng, they all sighed.
Zhong's mother was more satisfied with Wu Chengze, and always blamed Zhong Chuhong for not taking the initiative to ask Wu Cheng, which made Zhong Chuhong very depressed, feeling that her status at home was not as high as Wu Cheng', an 'outsider', and she was angry!
In fact, Zhong Chuhong was a little dissatisfied with Wu Cheng in her heart, obviously she was so good and intimate to her before, but now she doesn't come to her, do you want a girl to take the initiative?
Thinking about Zhao Yazhi beside Wu Cheng again, she was even more angry, if Wu Cheng had no idea about Zhao Yazhi, then leave Zhao Yazhi directly and find a place to live outside!
But if he has thoughts about Zhao Yazhi, then why do he want to tease her?
Necrotic!
Zhong Chuhong was depressed and learned to wear high heels in the room, at first, Wu Cheng also laughed at her that she couldn't even wear high heels, which was too inferior.
Although Wu Cheng also said later, it's not a big deal not to be able to wear high heels, your Honggu is still the charming Honggu.
But Zhong Chuhong knew very well that when that guy saw a woman showing off her high-heeled black silk long legs, his eyes followed the others, and thinking about it made her angry, and she died!
Of course, Wu Cheng didn't know what Zhong Chuhong was thinking, and he was now working hard to write the script.
But what he wrote were all the scripts of those foreign blockbusters.
For example, "First Blood", "Terminator" and the like.
These blockbusters were all the rage in Hollywood in the 80s, and Wu Cheng wanted to get between them, take these scripts for himself, and make some extra money by the way.
Originally, there was "Raiders of the Lost Ark", but it occurred to him that there seemed to be rumors that George Lucas, the author of this play, had started writing it a long time ago.
In order to avoid a crash, Wu Cheng had to reluctantly cut his love and give up this.
In the middle of the month, Wu Cheng handed a small bag of manuscripts to Shi Nansheng and asked her to go to Hollywood in person, go to the screenwriters' union, and register the fifteen scripts he had written.
Fifteen scripts, several of which are in the "First Blood" series, "The Terminator" is two, as well as "Alien ET", "Home Alone" and "Back to the Future" and so on.
In addition to this, there is also the Jurassic Park short story.
Shi Nansheng was a little strange, in her mind, Wu Cheng had never been abroad, how could he understand the tastes that foreigners liked?
Do these scripts really work?
Wu Cheng didn't pay attention to Shi Nansheng's strangeness, but just told her to do her best to do these things.
When Wu undertook these things, Golden Harvest Cinema Line also beat the box office of "Five Lucky Stars", and after tax, more than 5 million.
The box office share of more than 5 million in the city has made countless filmmakers envious, jealous and hateful!
After all, in this era, the box office has two or three million, even if it is a high box office, there can be more than five million, it is simply a super blockbuster with a box office hit!
To this end, Wu Cheng asked the entire company of Donglong International to hold a celebration banquet, which can be regarded as a chance for all the personnel of the company to get to know each other!
But what Wu Cheng didn't expect was that the celebration banquet had just begun, and Zou Wenhuai came with He Guanchang and Mai Guangtou, and asked Wu Cheng if he had a good script.
Wu Chengzhen wants to spit on him, I don't use a good script myself, I'll leave it to you!
Wu Cheng smiled and changed the subject...... As a result, Zou Wenhuai just came on the front foot, and Shao Daheng also came with his confidante.
As soon as he came, Shao Daheng gave Wu Cheng a smiling look, which made Wu Cheng a little suspicious in his heart, thinking in his heart, what does this old fox mean?
At the beginning of the celebration banquet, after Wu Cheng came to the stage and said two words, he pushed Hong Jinbao out of the top cylinder.
Hong Jinbao also felt that there was nothing to say, said a few words of thanks, and then encouraged himself, and then handed over the time to everyone to exchange feelings with each other.
Zhao Yazhi wore a noble and decent white evening dress, holding Wu Cheng's arm, holding a wine glass in one hand, following Wu Cheng, shuttling among these celebrities, overwhelming the crowd.
Wu Cheng's height is not much different from Zhao Yazhi, if she didn't wear high heels...... The two of them look no different from a pair of beautiful people.
Not long after, Wu Cheng and Zhao Yazhi came to Shao Tycoon's side, and Fang Yihua, who was next to Shao Tycoon, held Zhao Yazhi and took her aside, leaving the space for Wu Cheng and Shao Tycoon.
"Uncle Sixth seems to have some opinions about the kid, what did the kid do wrong?"
Wu Cheng raised his glass to him with a smile on his face, and it was obvious that he didn't mean to make a mistake.
Looking at Wu Cheng's inexplicable appearance, Shao Daheng only felt that his fist was hitting the air, which made people helpless.
In the end, he had to smile bitterly and point at him, and scolded with a smile: "You little monkey, run to me to dig the root of my wall, and you are embarrassed to pretend to be innocent with me?"
"Uncle Six's words are wrong!"
Wu Cheng shook his head with a smile and said: "The so-called 'flies don't bite seamless eggs', if people don't want to change jobs, I say it's useless to break their mouths, if they want to change to a better working environment, even if I don't make a move, others can't stand by and not be moved, such as Jiahe, I don't believe they are not impressed by Shaw Brothers' resources!"
Wu Cheng glanced at Shao Daheng, and sighed lightly at the end: "Sixth uncle, to tell the truth, don't blame me for speaking too ugly, like you Shaw Brothers, you still still adopt the big studio system, and sooner or later the talent will be lost, take the simplest salary, a director, how much can you get paid for making a blockbuster film for you? At most, 350,000 yuan, but you see how much is Hung Jinbao's director's salary now? Don't talk if it's less than 150,000 yuan." It's the same with actors......"
Seeing that Shao Daheng was pondering, Wu Cheng said again: "Sixth uncle, do you think that if this continues, will the Shaw Brothers still be able to retain talents? People die for money, birds die for food, no matter how deep the feelings are, there are times when they are weak, and interests are eternal, I think you know this better than me!"
Shao Daheng's face was as usual, but he sighed slightly in his heart.
This kind of problem, how can he not see it clearly, but things are often involved in the whole body, if one person is given more benefits, what about others?
Shaw Brothers and wireless, how many people have been raised?
Moreover, even if he is willing, it is impossible for the shareholders behind him to give up their interests.
Shao Daheng could only sigh lightly: "You kid doesn't understand! I'm different from you!"
Wu Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said, 'I'm just talking.'
Seeing Shao Tycoon sighing lightly, Wu Cheng suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Sixth uncle, how about we make a deal?"
"You little monkey, you want to take advantage of the sixth uncle?"
Shao Tycoon scolded with a smile.
Wu Cheng shook his head and said: "How can this be regarded as taking advantage, but it is just mutually beneficial." I'll give you an idea, you let Ms. Chen leave, anyway, if she wants to leave, you can't stay, I will pay some liquidated damages at most......"
Shao Daheng shook his head and said: "You little monkey thinks so beautifully, this is impossible, she still has a project on hand now, wait until she finishes it." ”
"Uncle Sixth is really good at business!"
Wu Cheng smiled helplessly.
"Where's your idea?"
Wu Cheng rolled his eyes, but Shao Tycoon didn't see it.
