"Although I am not from Xiangjiang, I have heard many people predict that it will be difficult for the non-strong Yonggao Cinema Line to ......continue for a long time."

As soon as he heard Li Qing say this, Luo Jiecheng's face suddenly turned blue and white, and then he stood up and pointed at Li Qing's nose, "Mainland Tsai, do you know who you are talking to......

Ge Xiaobing, who had been standing beside Li Qing, suddenly had an extra pistol in his hand, and then put the pistol against Luo Jiecheng's head!

Luo Jiecheng is not an ordinary person, otherwise Huang Baiming, who has been in the film industry for half his life, would not have left Yonggao in disgrace.

Glancing at the gun in Ge Xiaobing's hand, and then at Ge Xiaobing's immobile hand, Luo Jiecheng judged that Ge Xiaobing was definitely a big circle boy who dared to kill.

Luo Jiecheng couldn't help but have a headache!

Due to the various crimes committed by the big circle and the release of movies reflecting the big circle such as "Provincial and Hong Kong Cavalry", the big circle is definitely the most headache for these land-sitting households, even if they themselves have a black back, because the big circle is really ruthless and professional enough, and it is a mobile case, coming and going without a trace, so unless it is a last resort, no land-sitting household is willing to provoke the big circle.

Luo Jiecheng looked at Li Qing, "What do you mean by this?"

Li Qing waved his hand at Ge Xiaobing, motioned for Ge Xiaobing to step aside, and then said: "It's just cooperation, there's no need to shout and kill, I'm just stating what I've heard, Boss Luo won't be so domineering that he won't even let me say what I heard, right?" By the way, I also heard that when Mr. Huang Baiming established Oriental at the beginning of the year, he first recruited Gao Zhisen and Yu Rentai back to his subsidiary, and then took more than 20 cinemas and cinemas in Hong Kong to form the Oriental Cinema Line in only five days, and then used his strong connections to gather a large number of stars on the one hand to shoot the Chinese New Year film "Happy Affair in the Flower Field", and on the other hand, he obtained the screening rights of "Farewell My Concubine" in Xiangjiang through Zhang Guorong's relationship, and took "Farewell My Concubine" as the opening work of the Oriental Cinema Line, and "Farewell My Concubine" within 19 days It earned nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars, making a name for the Oriental Cinema Line, and "Happy Events in the Flower Field" followed suit, and ranked first at the box office of the Chinese New Year stalls with 35 million Hong Kong dollars, and then launched more than a dozen movies in a row, including "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", "When the Peach is Ripe" and "The Murder of the Door Massacre" all earned more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars, beating Boss Luo's Yonggao Cinema Line......"

Breaking up with Huang Baiming is the most wrong decision Luo Jiecheng has made, after more than a year of hard work, Luo Jiecheng has long realized this, especially hateful, for this reason he also has a reputation for being unkind and unjust, and most people in the film and television industry in Xiangjiang are unwilling to cooperate with him.

But even so, Luo Jiecheng still said: ""Farewell My Concubine" won the Palme d'Or in Cannes, and your "Donkey Gets Water" only won the Silver Lion Award in Venice, "Farewell My Concubine" starring Zhang Guorong is one of the most appealing actors in Xiangjiang, and the actors of your "Donkey Gets Water" are just a group of non-famous actors in the mainland, even if "Farewell My Concubine" won the Palme d'Or and Zhang Guorong as the starring role, it only won more than 9 million box office, how much box office can your "Donkey Get Water" get? Can it help me defeat Huang Baiming?"

Luo Jiecheng's words are not unreasonable, but Li Qing still strived for: "If it is in other regions, "Donkey Gets Water" naturally cannot be compared with "Farewell My Concubine", but it is difficult to say in Xiangjiang, "Farewell My Concubine" is a pure literary film, while "Donkey Gets Water" takes into account the elements of commercial films, Xiangjiang is one of the base camps of commercial films, and commercial films in Xiangjiang are much more marketable than literary films......

Li Qing's words are not untargeted.

"Farewell My Concubine" earned 48 million yuan in the mainland, and the average movie ticket price at this time was 4 yuan a piece, so it is estimated that the number of moviegoers in the mainland exceeded 10 million.

won more than 100 million Taiwan dollars at the box office in Taiwan.

In the United States, G won more than $5.2 million.

It was even more popular when it was released at RB, and it was a miracle that it was screened for 43 consecutive weeks in Bunkamura, and the revenue of Bunkamura alone was close to 176 million yen.

But in Xiangjiang, the results of "Farewell My Concubine" are very average, with Zhang Guorong fully cooperating with the publicity, it only got a box office of more than 9 million.

The reason for this is mainly because "Farewell My Concubine" is a pure literary film, which is not accepted by Xiangjiang audiences who like to watch commercial films.

Li Qing said again: "...... Although I don't have Zhang Guorong's appeal, but I also have a lot of loyal fans in Xiangjiang, UFO Records has contacted TVB and ATV for me, and in a few days I will be on TVB and ATV's "Happy Tonight" and "Millionaire" respectively to promote "Donkey Gets Water", in addition, before the release of "Donkey Gets Water", I will also hold ten concerts in a row at Hung Hom Stadium, these ten concerts will also be promoted for "Donkey Gets Water", with these guarantees, "Donkey Gets Water" It will never be like those movies that are being released by Yonggao Cinemas, each of which only has a few hundred thousand box office. ”

"Is "Donkey Gets Water" still a commercial film? Can a commercial film win an international award?" Luo Jiecheng was a little suspicious.

However, despite what Li Qing said so much, it is still impossible for Luo Jiecheng to put the treasure on Li Qing, the reason is naturally that Li Qing is just a rookie director, "Donkey Gets Water" is just a mainland film made by a group of mainland actors who are not famous in Xiangjiang, international awards were rare more than ten years ago, and now, with Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Li Yu, Hou Xiaoxian, Wu Ziniu, Xie Fei and others winning international awards, international awards have become less valuable, not to mention that "Donkey Gets Water" has not won the gold award but the silver award.

Seeing that Luo Jiecheng did not waver, Li Qing sighed secretly: "No wonder Yonggao Cinema will be disbanded next year, Luo Jiecheng doesn't even have this bit of courage, how can Yonggao be good?"

Thinking of this, Li Qing didn't bother to talk nonsense to Luo Jie anymore, and said directly: "That's good, since Boss Luo has no confidence in me and "Donkey Gets Water", then let's go through the guarantee system, and I will pay the guarantee fee to rent your Yonggao Cinema Line." ”

The so-called guarantee system is that if the production company wants to take the movie to a certain theater for release, it must pay a daily charter fee according to the location, seats, equipment and other conditions of the theater, no matter what the daily income of the theater is, it must pay the daily charter fee, and if the painting is done halfway, it must also compensate the theater for three to five days (this is being discussed). In addition, you have to pay a five-day guarantee fee as a deposit before the release.

The bottom system is a huge hole for the production company - if the movie is not a blockbuster, the production company will not only not be able to share the money, but may also have to owe a large amount of debt to the theater chain.

This is the way of cooperation between producers and cinemas in the old days, when Shaw Brothers Cinemas and Golden Harvest Cinemas relied on this system to dominate the Xiangjiang film market, and later Golden Princess Cinemas was established and launched a sharing system to unbundle the producers and break the monopoly of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.

Of course, the guaranteed system is not without benefits at all, if the movie is a big hit, you can get more box office by taking the bottom system, after all, high risk equals high return.
