Chapter 68 Shunshui Favor
Except for Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers in order to fight against the newly rising New Art City, there have been two-line joint screenings, and the films of both parties will be released at the same time in Golden Harvest Cinemas and Shaw Brothers Cinemas during the cooperation period, other times the three companies are old and dead.
As competitors, they will never release other movies in their own theaters, and other small and medium-sized film companies can only choose to cooperate with one of the theaters, which is completely controlled by others.
In such a situation, if a film company wants to become bigger, it must have its own theater chain, otherwise it will talk about becoming bigger and stronger.
Although Zhang Xiaoye has a good relationship with the three major companies, he can't break the rules, and the movies he cooperates with will be released in which theaters, which is acceptable to everyone.
As for the specific account sharing, it is still the same as Golden Harvest, Bilie is definitely the highest among independent film companies, and at the same time, the distribution of Waifu has also been handed over to Xinyicheng to be responsible, and with the support of Princess Jin, they are also not weak, and even Xinyicheng has a branch in Taiwan.
On the day of the premiere, Zhang Xiaoye brought Luo Meiwei and their three heroines to attend, and those who came to cheer were replaced by people from Xinyicheng, in addition to Gao Zhisen and Huang Baiming, Mai Jia, Shi Tian, Taidi Luo Bin, they all came, and the momentum was not smaller than when "Dream Essence" was released.
Such a small production is actually not worth such a stirring up at all, but who made this Zhang Xiaoye's work.
That's right, even if Zhang Xiaoye didn't participate at all, the director is Gao Zhisen and starring Huang Baiming, in people's minds, this is still Zhang Xiaoye's work.
With his name, the movie has attracted a lot of attention, and the current Happy Girl Group is also very popular, and when the movie began to be promoted, their first album also began to hit the charts.
Zhang Xiaoye finally copied a lot of songs for them, did not turn the first edit into a movie soundtrack, and this week it was one of them that topped the Chinese song list and the gold list of strong songs, "Next Stop Diva".
This somewhat romantic song depicts the psychology of the little girls vividly, and the song can be regarded as Zhang Xiaoye's encouragement to the three girls, and it can also be regarded as their declaration to the outside world.
is another golden song from Zhang Xiaoye's hand, which dominates the charts and sings all over the streets and alleys, people seem to have been numb to this, and they have already had a concept after a year, all the songs he writes must be golden songs, and all his movies are bound to be box office hits.
With his addition, coupled with the fact that the Happy Girl Group has become popular, the same "Happy Ghost" has a completely different box office appeal compared with the original history, and the final box office has exceeded the original historical data, reaching 20.3 million, almost the same as "Dream Spirit".
The box office of Xiangjiang is less than 900,000, but the profit is higher than that of "Dream Essence", because the cost of "Happy Ghost" is only more than 2 million, which is only half of the former.
Of course, this is just a comparison of the local box office, if you count the foreign Fu, there is no comparison, "Happy Ghost" is not as universal as "Dream Spirit", and the overseas audience is much narrower.
Zhang Xiaoye saw these things very clearly, but people were shocked by him again, and they had long known that the box office of "Happy Ghost" would not be bad, but they didn't expect it to break through 20 million again. If you think about it carefully, Zhang Xiaoye's works are not less than 20 million.
"Best Partner" is the trump card of Xinyicheng, and the box office of "Bald Detective" and "Great Miracle" is even higher than this, but the shock is not so strong, because people are big casts and big productions, and Xu Guanjie's salary alone has already been the production cost of "Happy Ghost".
He is a small cost and a big investment, in the words that Xiangjiang is used to, it is called a knife and a big tree, and the media particularly admires his ability to be small and broad, and other film companies are even more jealous.
"Happy Ghost" has become the first work to exceed 20 million at the box office in 84, and "Mr. Zombie", which is still being filmed, is obviously not bad.
Gao Zhisen and Huang Baiming, who are directors, have been further affirmed because of this movie, and they have shown their faces greatly, and both of them are red at the celebration banquet.
It has always been a practice for the box office to sell the script celebration banquet, if Zhang Xiaoye saves this, others think that he is reluctant to give red envelopes to the main creator, he is very happy to make money, and there is no need to spoil the fun, so he also attends in person every time.
When the scene was finished, Zhang Xiaoye pulled Huang Baiming aside and said, "Huang Sheng, how do you feel about the story of the happy ghost?"
Huang Baiming was a little stunned, not understanding why he suddenly asked this, Zhang Xiaoye said directly: "Huang Sheng, I mean you want to like this type of story, then I will transfer the copyright of the happy ghost to you, and the sequel to your new art city to operate what do you think?"
"Yezai, is this really okay?" Huang Baiming was overjoyed when he heard this, Zhang Xiaoye nodded and smiled: "Of course, it depends on your meaning." ”
"Of course I do. Huang Baiming said decisively: "Yezai, I really like stories like happy ghosts, and I have a lot of ideas during filming, such as what it would be like if I were to write the script." ”
It was supposed to be his story, and it was normal for him to be inspired like this, Zhang Xiaoye continued: "Since Huang Sheng is interested, then it will be decided, but I have a request, unless they give up by themselves, otherwise the heroine must be Ah May, no problem, right?"
Huang Baiming immediately said: "Of course there is no problem, not to mention that they are red and purple now, the signboard of the happy ghost is originally them, if there is no them, the audience will definitely be the first to be unhappy." ”
His expression is as if he can agree to any condition as long as he can get the sequel copyright, of course, what he said is not wrong in itself, "Happy Ghost" shows Luo Meiwei and their more youthful and beautiful side, and it is also they who have made this movie.
As long as there are them, the box office of the sequel will not be low, and Zhang Xiaoye's transfer of copyright is simply giving a chicken that lays golden eggs to him and Xinyicheng.
And the reason why Zhang Xiaoye decided this way is because he really can't look down on this chicken, he still has a lot of plans and can't take care of the sequel to "Happy Ghost" at all, if he doesn't shoot it directly, there will be no works suitable for Luo Meiwei and them for the time being, it will only make them idle, it is better to be a favor.
Cooperation is maintained in the case that both parties can benefit, a little benefit is not given to others, why should others cooperate with you, put in their own hands is chicken ribs can be taken out to do favors, why not.
