Chapter 136: When Rivals in Love See Each Other, Their Eyes Are Red

"Boss, here's the plan I made." Fan Wei put a thick document in front of Wei Xiong: "According to your meaning, I did some research and analysis, and found that it is difficult to acquire large theaters, after all, it is the time when Hong Kong films are glorious." ”

"The big theaters with good locations have good business, and most of the big theaters belong to the three major theater chains, so I'm afraid no matter how much money you have, you can't buy them. So I suggest that the leading cinemas of Webster Cinemas are all built by ourselves, and there are a few specific locations to choose from, you can take a look. ”

"Then there is the acquisition of small theaters, and now I am talking to 12 theaters at the same time, the location and decoration are good, but the price is a little higher."

"Well, you sit down for a while, I'll take a look first." Wei Xiong gestured to the sofa, and then opened the document to read, in which Fan Wei detailed the five locations that he planned to use to build the leading cinema, namely Central, Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui, Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok.

And the choice is both commercial and residential buildings and large shopping malls, in terms of location and flow data, it is indeed very good, but after all, it is such a big project, he also needs to personally visit the site. In addition, in order to reduce costs, the proposal is leased.

This is different from what he thought, since the signing of the Sino-British Joint Declaration, Hong Kong's fate is certain, although the economy may fluctuate a little in the short term, but in the long run it will definitely rise, and correspondingly, housing prices will increase with economic development.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly an investment to buy the property that builds the leading cinema directly. As for funding? After making up his mind to set up his own theater chain, he has already started to raise funds, and so far, all the necessary funds have been in place and more than enough.

His funds mainly come from two aspects, the first is the box office share of "The True Color of Heroes", deducting the publicity costs, the share of the theater chain, and the 20% net profit and taxes that need to be distributed to the Shaw Brothers when it is released in Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia alone let him earn more than 60 million Hong Kong dollars. In the future, after the film is released in Japan and South Korea and other places, and the videotape is released, it will be another lot of income.

As of April 30, the total global sales of "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf" have reached 5.2 million copies, and "Kiss Goodbye" is even more exaggerated, with a total global sales of more than 9 million copies.

Both of these figures were just released by Polygram yesterday, and they also made headlines in the entertainment pages of major newspapers, because with these two albums, Wei Xiong became the singer with the highest album sales in Hong Kong history, and it only took him half a year to complete this achievement.

The speed is unprecedented. At the same time, Zhou Huimin was also reported, because on the day Polygram announced Wei Xiong's album sales, Media Asia Records also announced Zhou Huimin's album sales, with a figure of 3.6 million copies, which once again blinded everyone's eyes.

To get back to the point, not counting the first and second installments of "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf", in the past three months, he has received more than 180 million Hong Kong dollars in dividends, and in a few days, the latest share will be remitted to his account, and then the funds will be more abundant.

Next, he looked at the situation of ten small theaters that were talking about acquisition, and they were all very good, which proved that Fan Wei had really done a serious investigation.

"Whether the location of the five leading theaters will be determined in two days, but the rental method is too conservative, and they are all bought directly, which is also a long-term investment. Also, now you can draw up a decoration plan, and after completing the formalities, let the decoration company enter the site immediately. ”

"As for small theaters, you continue to talk to them, the price can be slightly higher, my request is to set up the entire theater chain in two months, and now Wei's is preparing two movies at the same time, just in time for the summer file, I hope it will be released in Wei's theaters at that time."

Although two months is a bit urgent, it is not impossible. Fan Wei immediately assured: "Boss, please rest assured, I will implement it as soon as possible." ”

At this time, there were two knocks on the door, and then Cui Muqing pushed the door in: "Boss, Director Wang Jing has arrived." ”

"Let him in."

Cui Muqing went out for a while, and a little fat man walked into the office, who else could it be if it wasn't Wang Jing?

"Long time no see, Mr. Wei."

Wei Xiong smiled faintly: "I haven't seen you for a while, and Director Wang seems to have gained a lot of weight." ”

"Hehe, let Mr. Wei smile, this time is relatively free, I stay at home to learn the script, but I am fat, and I lose weight when I am busy."

"Tomorrow is the premiere of "God of Gamblers", and after that, you just don't have time to be free."

Speaking of "God of Gamblers", Wang Jing was immediately excited, this is one of his rare and truly satisfying works, but he still doesn't forget to be modest when he says it: "The main thing is that Mr. Wei's script is good, and after so many years in the industry, it's the first time I've seen a standard storyboard script." ”

"Knock knock." The office door opened again, and Cui Muqing walked in with a cup of coffee.

"Director Wang, your coffee."

"Thank you."

Wang Jing couldn't help but glance at Cui Muqing a few more times, and even Cui Muqing turned around and walked out, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look.

"I only have coffee and tea here."

Wang Jing hurriedly turned around: "It's okay, I usually drink coffee." ”

Then, a trademark lewd smile appeared on his face: "Mr. Wei, your secretary is really beautiful enough, it's rare to see in the entertainment industry, it's a pity to be a secretary." If she becomes an actress, I guarantee that she will definitely become popular in two years at most. ”

Wei Xiong smiled noncommittally, Cui Muqing was originally a superb beauty, but now after his moisturization, it is like a ripe honey-peach, which makes people can't help but want to take a bite at a glance, no wonder Wang Jing, a salty and wet guy, almost straightened his eyes.

"Let's get down to business, have the actors talked about it?"

"Take a look at this." Wang Jing hurriedly took out the cast list of "Truant Dragon" from his briefcase and handed it to Wei Xiong.

Since Wei Xiong had discussed with Wang Jing about the actor again, this cast list is not much different from the original version, of course, there are exceptions.

For example, the original heroine Zhang Meng, she doesn't know where to distribute flyers now.

"Li Saifeng?"

"Originally, I wanted to find Guan Zhilin, but "God of Gamblers" worked with her, and found that she was too difficult to handle, without the spirit of an actor, and the salary she asked for was much higher. Of course......" Wang Jing's expression was slightly embarrassed: "There are also some personal reasons. ”

"Li Saifeng's master Xu Xiaoming has a good relationship with me, he heard that I was preparing a new play, so he called me personally, hoping that I could help Li Saifeng arrange a role, so ...... But Mr. Wei, you can rest assured, I really think Li Saifeng is suitable for this role. ”

Wei Xiong pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in Wang Jing's expectant gaze: "Then Li Saifeng,

……

Soon after Fan Wei and Wang Jing left, Wei Xiong also walked out of the office to go to the recording studio, and as soon as he walked around a corner, he heard a familiar voice:

"As I already said, eating with you that day was an exception, please don't come to me again. Also, bring your flowers back. ”

"I'm serious, I've never been so serious when I've grown up, even if you don't accept me now, there's no need to refuse my flowers. And it's just a dinner together, and if you don't like being photographed by the paparazzi, we can find a restaurant in the middle of nowhere. ”

"You...... I'll tell you the truth, I already have someone I like, and if you really like me, please don't bother me. ”

"Is that person you're talking about Wei Xiong? He ......"

"Did Mr. Ni call me?" Wei Xiong turned around the corner, and three or four meters in front of him, Zhou Huimin stood opposite the legendary Ni Zhen, who was still holding a bouquet of roses in his hand. In this situation, it is estimated that a fool knows what the situation is.

He stepped forward, stretched out his right hand, and directly took Zhou Huimin in his arms, and said with a smile on his face: "Xiaomin, is this a flower given to you by Mr. Ni?" It's pretty beautiful, and since people are so gracious, you can take it and put it in the living room of your dormitory. ”

Seeing Zhou Huimin being held in Wei Xiong's arms like a docile kitten, Ni Zhen was suddenly jealous, but what could he do?

"Hmph." The beautiful rose was thrown to the ground by him, and then turned to leave.

"Wait a minute."

Ni Zhen finally hadn't completely lost the most basic bearing of being a man, and turned his head to look at Wei Xiong gloomily: "Mr. Wei still has something?" ”

"Xiao Min has already told you very clearly just now, but Mr. Ni, you are a noble person, I don't mind saying it again, Xiao Min is my woman, I don't want any men to harass her, so I also hope that Mr. Ni will be more self-respecting in the future, and don't mistake others."

"Hmph, Mr. Wei, don't be too complacent."

……

Zhou Huimin gently pushed Wei Xiong away, and said coquettishly: "Now you are satisfied, being ridiculed by you like this, Ni Zhen should not come to pester me again." ”

"Why, you don't like me saying that?"

"I hate it, you know people don't mean it that way, hmph, I'm going to practice vocal music." After speaking, Zhou Huimin turned around and entered the room next to her.

Inside is the singing room, usually nothing Zhou Huimin will come to the singing room to practice singing, on the one hand, she thinks that her singing skills still have room for improvement; On the other hand, there is more time to spend with Wei Xiong, and this is the main reason.

Wei Xiong glanced at the closed door, and couldn't help but smile slightly, as the relationship between the two deepened, Zhou Huimin was less shy than before when facing him, and was more willing to show his truest mood and feelings, such as being coquettish, Zhou Huimin was rarely like this in the past.
