"Guanchang, look who's coming. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "In a private room of about the same size, Zou Wenhuai greeted a middle-aged man who looked about the same size as himself as soon as he entered.

is also in his fifties, with a slightly bald forehead and glasses, which is Zou Wenhuai's old partner He Guanchang in Golden Harvest.

"Ouch, Mr. Li is also here, hello, hello." He Guanchang shook hands with Li Xu enthusiastically, and he couldn't tell that he was waiting here on purpose, and then greeted Lin Qingxia, who was with him.

followed by Zou Wenhuai and introduced other people, all of whom were senior management or film producers of Golden Harvest, until-

"Hello, Mr. Hong, your movie is very interesting." Li Xu held the hand of the really fat man in front of him and said with a smile.

"You've won the prize, Mr. Li, I'm just a bastard," Hong Jinbao smiled, looking honest, "Just call me Sanmao, everyone calls me that." ”

After all, in the early 80s, the real fat man was the first brother of Golden Harvest.

"Mr. Cheng? Or Mr. Fang? Li Xu shook his hand and asked.

"Mr. Li can just call me Ah Long." Cheng Long hurriedly said, his posture was quite low.

"Aaron, Mr. Li said that your movies are influential in Asia." Zou Wenhuai mentioned a sentence at this time.

It can be seen from here that the status of the big nose is gradually rising in Golden Harvest, and Boss Zou did not mention Hong Jinbao so much - of course, it may also be because Li Xu clearly compared Cheng Long and Bruce Lee just now.

But in any case, "Brother and Brother" is the first work in Hong Kong to exceed 10 million at the box office, and Cheng Long's image is more likable and popular than Hung Jinbao.

The actor's appearance does not have to be against the sky, but he must have good facial features, have advantages and characteristics, and be likable. No matter how ugly a person is, he is also a harlequin, at most an impressive harlequin.

In addition, actors can't be too fat, whether male or female, if they are fat, they will be finished, Hong Jinbao can become popular, relying on his agility, not because he is fat and cute - not to mention that he should be strong and not fat at this time.

"Really?" Cheng Long asked with some excitement, his tail seemed to be cocked.

Zou Wenhuai immediately coughed lightly next to him, and Cheng Long became embarrassed, and then looked at Lin Qingxia again, his face becoming more and more unnatural.

"Hello, Miss Lin." He greeted, his tone slightly cold.

"Hello, Mr. Cheng." Lin Qingxia was also a little awkward, not only was her voice much quieter, but her eyelids also drooped.

They met in 76, and Cheng Long also pursued Lin Qingxia, but unfortunately Lin Qingxia was dating Qin Xianglin at that time, and he and Qin Xianglin were brothers again, so they didn't stop.

I believe that Qin Xianglin has already told Cheng Long what happened in San Francisco, plus Lin Qingxia has been quiet for more than a year, and now she has suddenly made a comeback, and she is still with a big man like Li Xu, you can imagine how he will make up for it - although it is also a fact - it is no wonder that he has such an expression.

Zou Wenhuai hurriedly played a round next to him: "Mr. Li, please sit down." ”

Li Xu smiled, took Lin Qingxia's hand and sat down, the dishes and dishes on the table were all neatly visited, although there were traces of eating, but they didn't look sloppy, but it was difficult for them.

first exchanged a few words of greeting, and then talked about the movie, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang deserve to be the best partners, you say a word to me, and the atmosphere on the table is very harmonious.

"I saw Mr. Li at the cocktail party a few times, but I didn't talk in depth, but I didn't expect it to happen here, Mr. Li is very approachable." Zou Wenhuai said.

"Lao Zou, where do you say, Mr. Li is a person who likes movies, so he naturally doesn't care about this little bit." He Guanchang immediately answered, singing and harmonizing hard to praise Li Xu.

Then Hong Jinbao followed: "To be honest, Mr. Li, a big man like you, willing to sit with us, Sanmao really admires." ”

Looking at the cooperation, Hong Jinbao can be a big brother, but it is not unrelated to his personality that will come to things. Especially his fat face, he is so honest that he can't see any flaws at all, and he can give people a good impression.

Although Cheng Long is a little clumsy in words, he still does a good job of gags and praise, and he is very smooth when he is with Hong Jinbao, and he is worthy of being a senior brother.

"I have nothing to do, I have also watched some old Hong Kong films, including "Shaolin Gate", Sanmao and Ah Long are quite interesting in it, the acting skills are good, the kung fu is also good, the key is that the cooperation is very interesting." Seeing that he couldn't get to the point, Li Xu simply brought up the rhythm by himself, "At that time, Ah Long seemed to use the name Chen Yuanlong?" ”

"Mr. Li, you have a really good memory, I was indeed called Chen Yuanlong at that time." Cheng Long complimented.

"Well," Li Xu nodded, "Ah Long and Sanmao don't have many rival scenes, but the interaction is very interesting, and other than that, I remember that there seems to be a cameo among your senior brothers." ”

"Yes, it's our old Sanyuan Biao, Mr. Li really has a good memory." Hong Jinbao followed with compliments.

"It just so happens that I went to the north not long ago, watched some model plays, and recently looked through the history of the Hong Kong government, and now I see you, but I have an idea for you to try." Li Xu rubbed his chin and said, "You three brothers should be very interesting together." ”

"I want to hear about it." Hong Jinbao glanced at Boss Zou and Boss He, and took the initiative to ask.

"There's no hurry, it's just an idea, when I go back, think about it, find two more screenwriters to polish it, and then hand it over to you," Li Xu smiled, "I'll send it to you." ”

Zou Wenhuai immediately raised his eyebrows, to this day, several top figures in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, who doesn't know that Mr. Li's ideas are expensive.

After the broadcast, "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia" and "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains Always Love", which crushed TVB to death, were his ideas, and they were easily promoted to the north; The 16 million box office of "I Love Night Fragrance" is also real, and the new art city is celebrating outside; discovered a rookie director Wang Jing, and the production of "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants" exchanged a cost of 800,000 yuan for nearly ten times the box office.

Not to mention......

"Sanmao, Along, thank you Mr. Li." He said immediately.

"Mr. Li, thank you so much!" Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long said in unison, and raised their wine glasses together.

"No need to do this, I make movies just to see my preferences and moods, the right people meet the right script, there will be wonderful results, if they don't fulfill them, there will be a cat tickling in my heart, so ......" Li Xu turned his head to look at Zou Wenhuai, "Don't worry about me digging your corner, Mr. Zou." ”

"Where, if Mr. Li is really digging into the corner, I can't help it, right?" Zou Wenhuai said half-truthfully, "Mr. Li has Hollywood as a bargaining chip, and we can't compete in this regard." ”

This is called retreating as advancing, clearly pointing out what cards he has in his hand, and admitting that he can't win. After all, the strong dragon does not suppress the ground snake, and that is because the strong dragon is not large enough.

So? So if you really want to press step by step and poach our pillars, you can't compete in this area, and it's hard to say it in private - this is not only for Li Xu, but also for Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao.

Mr. Li didn't dare to move, but if he wanted one of their arms or legs, it was still no problem, kung fu movie stars couldn't play tricks on the big screen, so it would be wasted, would Mr. Li still stand up for them?

"Hollywood is not a bargaining chip, although Hollywood's films are highly industrialized," Li Xu smiled disapprehantly, "Each region has its own style and characteristics, unless you find those commonalities, it is difficult to impress audiences in different regions, not to mention xenophobia." ”

It's true that Hollywood is not a bargaining chip now, but in ten years...... Hehe.

"That's right, we invested in the "Cannonball Speed" released last year, and Aaron also played a role in it." Zou Wenhuai immediately said, "As a result, not only did not let us participate in the production, Ah Long put forward some opinions on fighting, but what those people actually said, they didn't understand at all, and their attitude was quite arrogant." In the end, it was Aaron who argued with reason, and only then did he have the shot where his legs were kicked and the crotch was torn, and the movie was released, and the audience liked it very much. ”

As if he was venting his dissatisfaction, he babbled and said, and then pointed at Cheng Long: "Mr. Li, you also said that Aaron can't compare to Bruce, but at least he is very influential in Asia, can't he break into Hollywood?" ”

Okay, I came to Li Xu under the pretext of looking for Xu Ke, and then asked him to come over and sit down, and introduced these people to him, and I talked about greeting for so long, isn't this just the sentence?

As for the reason, it's very simple, "The Officer and the Gentleman" has been released for more than 10 weeks, and the North American box office has exceeded 70 million, and judging by the current situation, the possibility of reaching $100 million is very high.

So, with $100 million as the standard, even if the theater share is deducted, and then the distributor's expenses are deducted - that's right, the first thing to share from the box office is always the theater, not the distributor, and I don't look at who the box office was pinched in the first place.

In the most stringent way, the theater chain takes 55%, the distributor takes 20% of the rest, and Shaw Brothers, who contributes one-seventh of the capital, can also get 5 million US dollars, which is converted into 25 million Hong Kong dollars.

Golden Harvest's box office champion last year, "Modern Bodyguard", which was close to 17 million Hong Kong dollars, is probably around this number if you count various overseas copyrights.

But the problem is that after deducting the cost, the Shaw Brothers has a net profit of 20 million Hong Kong dollars, while Golden Harvest deducts the costs - various remuneration payments, the wages and maintenance of the theater chain, and publicity expenses, etc., the net profit is just over 10 million, not to mention that it took so much effort and energy, and Shaw Brothers is completely lying down to make money.

What's more, this is still the most stringent algorithm, and "The Officer and the Gentleman" still has potential to be tapped, according to the rumors released by the Shaw Brothers, it is not surprising that they can at least share 30 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office from this movie.

Even if this rumor was deliberately released, it was enough to make Hong Kong's film companies red-eyed, and Zou Wenhuai was naturally among them, or that sentence, this is completely lying to make money.

What's more, he, Zou Tycoon, has ambitions that Shao Tycoon can't match.
