The day after the premiere, after Shaw Brothers' box office statistics on the theaters, the box office of "Wind and Rain Together" could exceed 1 million Hong Kong dollars on the first day, and according to the prediction of the relevant departments of Shaw Brothers, the final box office of "Wind and Rain Together" will be about 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

In addition to Chen Huimin, the nominated actor, who has a higher salary, Zhou Xingchi and Lan Jieying and others are all newcomer actors of the Shaw Brothers, and the salary is also very cheap, and the highest salary in the whole play is director Zeng Zhiwei, in addition to the due salary, he will also receive 10% of the box office dividends.

And Wang Zheng can only get a cheap screenwriting fee and production fee, which he doesn't care very about, this script is the condition he offered when he brought Zeng Zhiwei to Shaw Brothers.

After calculating all the costs, this drama can make Shao Tycoon earn a lot, and Shao Tycoon, who received the box office news, asked Wang Zheng to go to the Qingshui Tea House in the Qingshui Bay Villa early in the morning for morning tea.

Fortunately, Wang Zheng lives in Dunhoulou, not far from the villa area, and if he lives in the urban area dozens of kilometers away, it will take more than half an hour to drive over.

In the private room of Qingshui Tea House, Wang Zheng was sucking and boiling Cantonese-style laba porridge, biting on the steaming barbecued pork bun, and at the same time not forgetting to put oily phoenix feet in the bowl, showing that he was very busy.

Shao Daheng took a sip of hot tea, and when he saw Wang Zheng gobbling up, he chuckled: "It's good to be young, eat slowly, it's not enough to order more!"

Wang Zheng finished eating the barbecued pork bun in his hand, burped, wiped the oil stains from his mouth with a napkin, and said: "I have been catching up with the progress of filming "The True Color of Heroes" before, and I haven't had a good breakfast for a long time, and today is a blessing from the sixth uncle!"

Shao Daheng said in the tone of an elder: "No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat a good breakfast and eat enough, don't rely on being young now and don't pay attention to it, wait until your body is in trouble to regret it, you must maintain good living habits for a long time, and your body will be healthy." ”

Thinking that Shao Daheng lived for more than 100 years in his previous life, Wang Zheng nodded again and again: "The kid is taught, and he will pay more attention in the future!"

Shao Daheng poured a cup of tea for Wang Zheng and said with a light smile: "I invite you to have morning tea today, I want to understand the process of the play "The True Colors of Heroes", and I am very much looking forward to your longest movie." ”

Wang Zheng said with a smile: "The filming of this drama has been completed, and now we are ready to start post-production, because it is a gunfight action movie, there are a lot of transition shots in it, and the post-production will take a month, and it is expected that all the work will be completed in mid-July." ”

Shao Daheng nodded and said: "The joint briefing between Britain and the mainland will be announced in September, and in order to avoid someone deliberately leaking the news, the post-production should be accelerated." ”

Seeing that Wang Zheng nodded in agreement, Shao Daheng continued: "Although the Shaw Brothers films are supported by you, in addition to the films you direct, the films of other directors make less money and lose more, so it is not a way to go on like this, so I decided to start reducing the amount of films, from the original 30 films per year, to 10 films per year, and all the excess resources will be transferred to wireless, and the Shaw Brothers Cinemas will also start to rent out, what do you think?"

"I think so. ”

For Shao Tycoon's plan, Wang Zheng has long been prepared, and in later generations, Shaw Brothers was hit by Golden Harvest and New Arts City and had no way out, Shao Tycoon transferred all his resources to wireless, and the Shaw Brothers film was completely discontinued, and even the theater chain that had been operating for many years was sold to Debao Film Company, compared to later generations, with the emergence of Wang Zheng in this life, Shao Tycoon also retained the annual production of Shaw Brothers Cinemas and 10 films.

Wang Zheng continued: "Uncle Sixth should also know the multiplex cinema at midnight, and the cinemas in the future will develop in the direction of multiplex cinemas, and a cinema will have more than a dozen or dozens of screening halls. ”

Shao Daheng was stunned and asked, "How big a theater is that?" ”

Wang Zheng explained with a smile: "In the future, the screening hall of the theater will become smaller and smaller, and the audience will become more and more comfortable in the process of watching the movie. ”

Shao Daheng was surprised and asked, "If it is really like what Ah Zheng said, the number of seats has decreased, and the number of people watching has not decreased?"

Wang Zheng smiled and said: "No, although the seats in the screening hall have decreased, but the screening hall has increased, for example, there will only be 150 seats in the screening hall in the future, and the number of viewers in a screening hall is 750 people, and the number of viewers in 10 screening halls is 7500 people, and our 1,000-seat theater can only reach 5,000 people in five screenings a day, and the biggest advantage of multi-hall screening is that different films can be screened, so that the audience has more viewing options." ”

Wang Zheng said so much, Shao Daheng also understood it, he smiled: "You said so much, it is also in vain, counting the cost of movie screens, projectors, film copies, etc. needed for the multi-purpose hall, how long will it take to pay back." ”

Wang Zheng said with a smile: "Sixth uncle, science and technology are advancing, the times are changing, and what I said will not be realized in a long time." ”

Shao Tycoon smiled and didn't answer again, obviously not interested in the large-scale multiplex theater that Wang Zheng said, Wang Zheng didn't care, Shao Tycoon was not interested, forget it, and he would build a large-scale multi-functional theater by himself in the future, hoping that the tycoon would not regret it then.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to face Shao Tycoon alone, Wang Zheng took the opportunity to say: "Sixth uncle, after the release of "The True Color of Heroes", I want to go out and establish my own film company. ”

Shao Daheng, who was sipping tea, was stunned when he heard this, frowned and asked, "Why? Do you think that the dividends I give you are less?"

Wang Zheng didn't answer immediately, looked at the floating tea leaves in the teacup, and said half-loudly: "Life is like this cup of tea, the highest realm is hidden between a high and a low, a floating and a sinking, after the last time I was framed and almost died, I understood a truth, working hard in Xiangjiang is not powerful, only if you have a certain career and status, you will not be bullied at will, whether the sixth uncle agrees or not, I will not miss the trip to the mainland in September." ”

Shao Daheng frowned and stared at Wang Zheng, thinking that Wang Zheng would become low-key and silent after the last incident, but to his surprise, Wang Zheng's edge became stronger than before.

Wang Zheng did not show weakness in staring at Shao Daheng and left Shaw Brothers to establish his own film company, which was his decision after careful consideration.

The silent staring of the two made the atmosphere in the private room tense all of a sudden.

Half a ring, or Shao Tycoon's broken silence.

"You're right, if you want to protect the people or things you care about, it's hard to do it without power, I can give you 20% of the shares of Shaw Brothers Film Company, but you have to make five movies for Shaw Brothers with a box office of no less than 20 million, with your talent, five movies with a box office of 20 million should not be difficult for you. ”

Seeing that Wang Zheng was stunned, Shao Daheng was dissatisfied: "This is my biggest concession, you must know that even if you have three layers of dividends, the five movies with a box office of 20 million are only more than 10 million, and you have made a lot of money by spending more than 10 million to buy 20% of the shares of the Shaw Brothers." ”

Wang Zheng didn't expect Shao Daheng to make such a decision, the Shaw Brothers are the lifelong efforts of his brothers, don't look at the Shaw Brothers movie has declined, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is impossible to buy more than 10 million shares of 20% of the Shaw Brothers.

Wang Zheng was stunned and said: "Although Uncle Six's proposal is very tempting, I still want to create my own film company." ”

Shao Tycoon asked a little angrily, "Why?"

Wang Zhengnuo said: "This is my obsession. ”

Shao Daheng waved his hand and said: "You young people have a lot of things, so you will be like Cheng Long's Weihe Film Company, and attach your film company to Shaw Brothers." ”

Wang Zheng was stunned: "Is this okay?"

Shao Daheng glared and asked, "Don't want to?"

Wang Zheng said with a haha: "I don't think I can find a reason to refuse!"

Whether it is attached or a subordinate company, Wang Zheng can also be regarded as an independent film company.
