Chapter 384: Encountered
Comparing Hong Kong's total box office in a year, it is actually unreasonable, how can Hong Kong be a city with a population of 6 million, no matter how high the consumption power is, the upper limit is still very low. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
What's more, the majority of the profits of Hong Kong films are not in China, but in Wanwan, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, in a few years, hot money will pour in, and the film has not yet started shooting.
Therefore, the total box office of Hong Kong films in a year does not reflect the profits created by Hong Kong films.
However, it is better to have a comparison than no comparison, the net profit of a Golden Harvest movie is equivalent to half of the total box office in Hong Kong in a year, this data is still very scary.
And this is the result of Li Xu's deliberate suppression, the total box office of 380 million US dollars, even if all the expenses that can be deducted are deducted, one-tenth of the profit is still there, and people have invested one-third of it.
Of course, if he wants to be thick-skinned, he can continue to buckle, but is that any use?
No matter how beautiful the account book is, there is no movie that has a very obvious huge gap in box office and cost, and dares to make a loss.
If so, wait for the summons, and the stupid production company of My Grand Greek Wedding is a prime example.
In addition, when Golden Harvest invested, it was 5 million US dollars, and at the exchange rate at that time, it was 25 million Hong Kong dollars. At the beginning of the harvest, the exchange rate fell non-stop, and finally stopped at the 1 to 7 position, adding at least 60 million Hong Kong dollars to the profit out of thin air.
Why do most Hong Kong film companies make movies? Of course, it's for money, and it's just Golden Harvest that is ideal. Even so, in the 90s, Zou Wenhuai was still dazzled by the hot property market, invested a lot of money, and almost lost the coffin board.
Therefore, now that there is such a clear example of Jiahe, how can other people's hearts not be hot, at the end of last year, even Lei Juekun took a sum of money and handed it to Li Xu, wanting to make some money.
And Shaw Brothers followed Li Xu twice before and after, and the third time was not finished, although he made some money, but he didn't add up to 100 million Hong Kong dollars, so he naturally wanted more.
After all, they have a good relationship with Li Xu, even if there is competition between the two TV stations, but Li Xu rarely asks except for giving Star TV a few TV series - and it is for the sake of women, and almost gives them the copyright of Jin Yong's drama, and is about to spend several times the money to buy it, and Old Man Cha is definitely willing to sell it.
As for Sister Ya's beauty pageant, the upper class in Hong Kong knows that it is his new trick to play women.
Moreover, Shaw Brothers and TVB are also responsive to him, so they should all express it, right?
Of course, it should be said, Li Xu is very willing to say that in fact, with the third film they invested, the post-production is almost over, and it will be released in June at the latest.
But the question is, if you don't want to give the money, how can you make more money?
Although the cost of this version of "Ghostbusters" did not cost 30 million - the original version actually did not spend it, but it is good to exaggerate the cost - but it also cost about 20 million, and Shaw Brothers only took 2 million US dollars, and it is already very good to have a profit of one-thirtieth of the total box office.
Li Xu is also very sad about this, in comparison, Zou Wenhuai is really a person who does big things, and he can come up with $5 million without panting or beating. And on the Shaw Brothers side, even Shao San, who is very emotional about the movie, he just mentioned it a little, and he echoed it repeatedly, and it is better to invest in small costs.
Even Lei Juekun directly took out $3 million at the end of last year, and said that it was not enough to be held accountable. Although it can be seen that he is just talking, he has a very good attitude.
"Forget it, now it's enough to repay them for favors, it's a big deal to have a sustainable development. After dealing with a group of people, Li Xu breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the balcony with a self-muttering voice.
Speaking of which, Shao Liu should also be very depressed in his heart, he has been engaged in film and television all his life, and none of his sons and daughters are willing to take over, so he can only let the concubine come.
But he is still very good, I won't talk about Weng Meiling's affairs, I will invite him over, and by the way, I will also call the girls from Shaw Brothers and TVB, that is what it means to pick at will.
But Zhang Manyu was not among them, obviously Wang Jing had revealed it to him, so he kept it for Li Xu to do it himself, and enjoyed the pleasure of chasing the prey himself.
To tell the truth, there are still a lot of good goods among these warblers and swallows, although Li Xu has cut off a lot, and it has also caused a certain butterfly effect, such as Qi Yuanzhen is now a contracted actor of Star TV.
But there is a vacancy in the front, and someone will naturally fill it in the back, and TVB's signboard is there, and there are new and old.
The old ones are Wang Mingquan, Huang Xingxiu, Su Xingxuan, and the new ones are Jing Daiyin, Zhou Xiulan, Liu Shuyi, and even Wu Junru is here - she signed TVB at the age of 16, and now she can be regarded as an old actor, there is no trace of laughing aunt at all, and she still has a bit of beauty.
Of course, Li Xu is not interested in her, if she is replaced by Jing Daiyin and Liu Shuyi, she can play a friendship cannon or something, if Wang Mingquan and Huang Xingxiu are willing, it will be no problem to keep her for two years. Especially the latter, it is said that he has secretly married Chen Baixiang in Singapore, and the wife seems to have played with Zhao Yazhi, and it is also after the divorce.
But if you want to talk about collections, there really is a goal, Zeng Huaqian, who still joined TVB last year.
"Ahh
"Are you ......" Looking at the girl in front of him, Li Xu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Long hair, willow eyebrows, and apricot eyes, but they can always give people a sharp feeling and are very heroic.
"Should it be called Miss Hui, or the Fucha Clan, or the Yehenala Clan?" Li Xu teased with a smile.
"No...... No, Mr. Li called me...... Just call me Little Red. Hui Yinghong lowered her head in a little panic and muttered, which is completely different from the image of beating women on the big screen.
Li Xu's curiosity became even stronger, and he immediately continued to tease: "It's not proper, I remember that you seem to have been born in 60?"
"Yes...... Yes!" Hui Yinghong looked up, a little surprised in her eyes.
"I'm two years older than me, so ......," Li Xu grinned, "I should call you Sister Xiaohong." ”
According to all the expectations she showed just now, she should have been flustered for a while, and then lowered her head and said "don't dare" repeatedly, but she just looked at Li Xu in a daze, and her eyes were even a little stupid.
I have to say that when Hui Yinghong was young, her appearance was still very good, and Mu Nianci in the 77 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is still very amazing. It's a pity that the eyes are too sharp, when you are young, you are fine, but when you are old, the heroic spirit becomes fierce, and you become the best candidate for extinction.
"Sister Xiaohong?" Li Xu called again.
"Right...... I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I'm leaving...... Distracted. Only then did Hui Yinghong react.
Then, I don't know what was going on, she calmed down and showed a rather cute smile: "It's too stuffy in the house, so I'll go to the balcony to blow the cold breeze, and I don't want Mr. Li to come too." ”
"Call me Ah Xu, Sister Xiaohong. Li Xu, who felt more and more interesting, immediately said.
"Okay, Ah Xu. Hui Yinghong didn't mean to excuse herself at all, she just stared at him without blinking, as if she couldn't see enough.
"It's really stuffy in the house," Li Xu said at this time, "I didn't think it was at first, but after chatting with Sir Shao, I was a little annoyed, so I also came to the balcony to blow the cold wind." ”
Hui Yinghong immediately lowered her head, showing an embarrassed smile, and even a little shy, as if she was dating.
Li Xu twitched the corners of his mouth, he really didn't understand what was going on, but he still started talking: "Sister Xiaohong can also be regarded as a representative of beating women, to be honest, there are probably only Mao Ying and Miao Kexiu who are stronger than you." ”
Mr. Li praised it falsely. Hui Yinghong actually dragged a sentence, "Compared with several predecessors, I am far inferior." ”
With this topic, the two quickly chatted, kung fu, movies, and kung fu movies, one by one, Hui Yinghong was often coaxed into giggling, and her shy appearance was really seductive.
But she always looked like she was already familiar with him, as if she ...... Something was put down, or something was let out. And those eyes were always locked on him, with a little longing, but also with a little memory and attachment.
"If I want to say it, I prefer the Cheng Dainan in "Elders", Li Xu said when talking about Hui Yinghong's roles, "It impressed me deeply." ”
"You just said that you like my Mu Nianci the most. Hui Yinghong said angrily.
"I said, Cheng Dainan impressed me the most. Li Xu said seriously, "That white cheongsam is really good-looking and attractive." The most important thing is that you're out of it. ”
"How can I have!" Hui Yinghong's eyes widened.
"There is no above, but there is one below. Li Xu said seriously.
Hui Yinghong frowned and recalled, and finally remembered, then her face turned red, and she subconsciously hugged her arm and looked at him shyly. She was originally wearing a black dress, which was very tasteful, and she was a little more playful when she hugged her.
Soon, however, her gaze became hazy, but it was firm, and the feeling of openness was even stronger.
Li Xu raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, and then put away his smile: "Okay, that's it, it's a pleasure to chat with Sister Xiaohong, let's get together another day." ”
As he spoke, he was about to leave, but after taking a few steps, his arm was suddenly grabbed.
As expected. Li Xu said this in his heart, and then turned around, but he was stunned again.
Hui Yinghong's expression was very calm, the mist in her eyes had dissipated, but there was an inexplicable sadness.
"Mr. Li, can you take me back to the hotel?" she said.
"You want to come back to the hotel with me?" he asked seriously.
The girl in front of her nodded vigorously, obviously, she knew what it meant and what she was doing.
Is...... It's a lot of fun. Li Xu had a thousand thoughts in his mind. Ever since she saw herself, she has been acting eccentric, but to say that there is a conspiracy, it is not like it.
"Okay. He said, "Then come on." ”
